VGCC plans France Area mental health authority trip for this October to help local smokers quit On the heels of a successful trip to Italy sponsored by Vance-Granville Community College’s Endowment Fund in 2009 — the college’s first “study abroad for the community” — plans have now been made for a similar educational trip to France in 2010. The tour, scheduled for Oct. 7-15, is open to adults in Vance, Granville, Franklin and Warren counties. The proposed itinerary for the “Jewels of France” tour starts in Paris, where participants will visit the Notre Dame Cathedral and receive a guided orientation of the city’s main highlights, including the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. Other stops include the village of Giverny (the home of painter Claude Monet), the city of Rouen, and the seaside resort of Deauville. Of particular interest to history buffs will be a visit to the beaches of Normandy, where Allied troops landed on D-Day in 1944. Visitors can also learn about William the Conqueror’s feats as embroidered in the Bayeux Tapestry. The island
of Mont St. Michel, the resort of St. Malo, the statue of Joan of Arc in Orleans, and the famous gothic cathedral at Chartres are also among the sites on the schedule. Two dinners and six breakfasts will be included in the tour package. “We’re excited about experiencing the beauty, the history and the excitement of France, which I think will be just as educational and enjoyable as our trip to Italy was,” said Jo Anna Jones, VGCC’s vice president of institutional advancement and endowment director. The VGCC Endowment Fund and Scholarship Program has supported students by awarding more than 5,000 scholarships since 1982. VGCC’s fund awards more endowed scholarships than any program of its kind in the state. Tax-deductible donations to the VGCC Endowment Fund have been used to honor a person, group, business or industry with a lasting gift to education. For more information, call Jo Anna Jones at (252) 738-3430.

“COLD SORES” OF THE EYE The same type 1 herpes simplex virus that gives rise to common “cold sores” of the lips and mouth can also be responsible for eye herpes, or ocular herpes. In fact, this form of herpes, which is often referred to as a cold sore on the eye, is responsible for about 50,000 new and recurring cases annually, according to the National Eye Institute. Capable of causing inflammation and scarring of the cornea, ocular herpes is usually spread via contact with a person who has an active case of herpes. Symptoms include swelling around the eyes, tearing, the sensation of a foreign body in the eyes, eye sores, watery discharge, and clouding of the cornea that can lead to blurred vision. This informative column has been brought to you as a public service. Tearing, eye redness, blurry vision, and ocular discomfort are the most common presenting signs and symptoms. Fortunately, we now have several effective approaches for treating all forms of this disease. Our goal at FOUR COUNTY EYE ASSOCIATES is to provide you with quality, convenient, affordable eye care while giving you the personal attention you deserve. Trust your eyesight to our formidable knowledge and experience. We’re located at 451 Ruin Creek Road, Henderson Professional Plaza, Suite 204. Please call 492-8021 to schedule an appointment. Your eyes are special and deserve the best. P.S. Treatment of ocular herpes largely depends on how deep the infection has penetrated the eye.

CHANTERS, from page one for a 30-minute broadcast of “Music and the Spoken Word,” which was distributed around the world and reached an audience of several million. In 1956, Lt. Harold Fultz, then the U.S. Navy Band’s assistant leader, organized an all-male vocal ensemble from the Navy School of Music to sing chanteys and patriotic songs. An immediate success, the group was transferred by Admiral Arleigh Burke, then Chief of Naval Operations, to the Navy Band. He named them the “Sea Chanters” and tasked them with perpetuating the songs of the sea. Women were added in 1980, increasing their repertoire. Noted choral directors Dale Warland and Donald Neuen have conducted the ensemble, and renowned composers Roger Bourland, William MacDuff and Lloyd Pfautsch have written works especially for them. The Sea Chanters have also appeared with the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony, the Kansas City Symphony and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. “Throughout its history, the Sea Chanters chorus has represented the nation and the Navy with pride and professionalism,” said Chief Musician Georgina L. Todd, leader of the group. Among the members of the group is Chief Musician Edward Daryl Duff, a native of St. Louis, Mo., who joined the Sea Chanters as a bass vocalist in 1990. He is often featured in performances with the Sea
Deaths
Chanters and at major Navy Band concerts. He also has solo performances on seven Navy Band and Sea Chanters recordings. In addition to being one of the most requested National Anthem soloists, Duff has been a featured vocalist with the National Symphony, Greeley Philharmonic, and Cincinnati Pops orchestras. Prior to joining the Navy, he won the 1985 National Association of Teachers of Singing competition in Kansas City and received his bachelor’s degree in 1989 from Central Missouri State University. Because of his many accomplishments, Duff was named the 2007 Navy Band Sailor of the Year, and his awards include the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation and the Navy Achievement Medal (two awards). In recognition of his volunteer work in the community and abroad he was awarded the Military Outstanding Volunteerism Medal. This concert is one of several by the musical groups of the U.S. Navy Band in the Tri-County area. The Navy’s Concert Band, Commodores jazz ensemble and Country Current country and bluegrass band have performed to large audiences at the Civic Center over the years. To get additional information on the concert and to hear samples of the chorus’s music, visit http:// extra.HendersonDispatch. com on the web.

Bernanke asks GAO to review role of Fed in rescue of AIG By JEANNINE AVERSA AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke took the unusual step Tuesday of asking Congress’ investigative arm to conduct a “full review” of the Fed’s role in bailing out insurance giant American International Group. The Fed chief’s move is aimed at defusing criticism of the government’s $182 billion rescue. The bailout sparked public outrage and demands in Congress Bernanke for more information, especially after it was revealed that millions in bonuses would go to employees in the AIG division most responsible for the company’s need for a bailout. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has a probe under way that seeks to provide a fuller picture of the AIG bailout. Those lawmakers are especially interested in details involving billions in payments AIG made to Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street firms that did business with the insurer. Some lawmakers want to know why those firms were fully paid and why concessions weren’t demanded. “To provide a comprehensive response to questions that have been raised by members of Congress,
the Federal Reserve would welcome a full review by GAO of all aspects of our involvement” in the AIG bailout,” Bernanke wrote in a letter to the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress. Bernanke said the Fed already has provided information to Congress on the AIG rescue, has made “a large amount” of information available to the public and provided information to other oversight bodies such as the Special Inspector General for the Trouble Asset Relief Program. Congress passed a law last year giving the GAO authority to review Fed documents in the AIG bailout. The GAO said Bernanke’s request will be weighed against other demands on the agency’s staff. Rep. Darrell Issa of California, the top Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, sounded a skeptical note about Bernanke’s interest in openness. “If the Fed is as vested in oversight and transparency as they claim in this letter, they should be quick to provide us with all the support we need to complete this bipartisan investigation,” Issa said. Shortly after Issa spoke, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said it delivered more than 250,000 pages of AIG documents to the House committee. The New York Fed also said it did not pressure AIG into holding back information
to the public about payments to the Wall Street firms. Besides getting money from the $700 billion taxpayer-funded bailout program overseen by the Treasury Department, AIG also was given a $60 billion line of credit from the Fed. The company is tapping around $22 billion. In the letter, Bernanke said the Fed expects to be “fully repaid” by Sept. 16, 2013 — five years after the first lifeline was thrown to AIG. Bernanke once again defended the Fed’s decision to provide credit to the troubled insurer at the height of the financial crisis in the fall of 2008. AIG’s failure — which would have followed the global shock from Lehman Brothers’ collapse — “would likely have led to a significant intensification of an already severe financial crisis and a further worsening of global economic conditions,” Bernanke said. Despite complaints of secrecy about some details of the AIG rescue, Bernanke said it’s important to explain to Congress and the public that the Fed and Treasury acted in the “best interests” of the United States and taxpayers in crafting the AIG rescue. The overarching goal, he said, “was to preserve the financial system and to protect households and businesses from potentially calamitous effects on the U.S. economy, while doing everything possible to protect the American taxpayer.”
Housing experts see modest '10 growth, weaker market after tax credit expires LAS VEGAS (AP) — Housing experts say the market recovery should continue this year as the economy improves, but high unemployment at least through 2011 will slow the turnaround. A panel of economists delivered their forecast Tuesday at the Interna-
tional Builders’ Show in Las Vegas. National Association of Home Builders Chief Economist David Crowe says he expects home sales will weaken some after a homebuyer tax credit expires in April, but ultimately be up modestly for the year. He also forecasts unem-

ployment to peak at 10.2 percent before falling to around 8 percent by the end of 2011. Freddie Mac Chief Economist Frank Nothaft expects home prices to decline 3 percent this year. His forecast calls for mortgage rates to remain below 6 percent this year.

Food company expanding N.C. plant, adding 500 jobs HALIFAX (AP) — A national producer of prepared foods is expanding a North Carolina plant and plans to create 500 jobs, providing a boost to an Interstate 95 corridor that has for years struggled to lower its jobless rate. Reser’s Fine Foods Inc. will create the jobs over the next five years at the Halifax Industrial Center in Halifax County. The Beaverton, Ore.based company makes prepared salads, dips, side dishes and other products under a variety of brand names. Halifax County’s unemployment rate was 13.6 percent in November, well above the state rate of 10.7 percent, and it’s part of a corridor near the Virginia border that has consistently seen higher jobless rates than neighboring counties.

The first phase of the expansion starting in 2010 will include a $15 million investment from the company. “We are convinced North Carolina is the best strategic location, and we are excited to expand there,” said CEO Al Reser in a statement. “We plan to build a facility that the people of Halifax County and our employees are proud of, and one that will continue to produce great products,” he said.

Daily Meditation And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. Deuteronomy 6:6-7
Our Opinion
Solving the teen pregnancy rate problem Vance County’s No. 3 ranking for teen pregnancies in the state isn’t surprising — the county has ranked No. 1 and 2 in the past. The county recorded 182 pregnancies in women ages 15-19 in 2008, which equals 107.3 teen pregnancies per 1,000 15-19 year-olds. The state’s rate per 1,000 was 58.6. Fifty-one of Vance’s teen pregnancies were repeats, meaning the teenager had been pregnant before. The county also recorded three pregnancies to girls ages 10-14. Unfortunately, those numbers don’t surprise many. Unfortunately, it’s what Vance County has come to accept as normal. The reasons behind the high rate aren’t surprising either. High unemployment, high levels of poverty and lack of education all factor into the formula. Solving that formula and finding an answer should be a top priority for the community. Not just for public officials, not just for the health department, but for the entire community. The health department has applied for funding to start a program called Teen PEP. The program aims to provide a leadership and learning opportunity for participants, and to get to the point where peer-to-peer communications about sex and relationships are factual and healthy. The health department’s desire to find a solution is worthy, but no amount of money, grants or initiatives will completely solve the problem. They are all steps in the right direction, but won’t be enough on their own. It will take families, churches and community organizations coming together to properly educate children about sex. Starting in the fall, the public school system will begin offering comprehensive sex education, as opposed to abstinenceonly education. Health officials are hopeful that this move will decrease teen pregnancies across the state. We hope they’re right, but until children, their families, their churches, and their communities as a whole decide to do something about the problem, Vance is likely to remain at the top of the list.
Letter to the Editor Some car dealers a rip-off Dear editor: Here we are in the year 2010 and I am starting to see that some things within our town seem to be getting worse. We have several independent car dealers here in Vance County, you know the buy here pay here places. These places are ripoffs. They provide you with no warranties and no customer satisfaction. How in the world can you offer to repair a vehicle but want half of the repair charges in addition to the monthly payment? Who in the world could afford this? People with not so good credit come to these places for help, they are in need of transportation. I guess they will help you get in a vehicle but in the same note they don’t promise to keep you in it. This is bad business folks.

Team Obama waited until late Friday, Washington’s traditional time for releasing controversial news, to announce some good news for Haiti: The administration is extending special protection to prevent some Haitians living illegally in the U.S. from being deported. It’s about time. Too bad it took an earthquake on top of Haiti’s earlier catastrophes to make it happen. Earlier in the week, the president responded quickly enough to Haiti’s latest catastrophe with promises of military troops and $100 million in aid. But he oddly overlooked a bigger, longterm way to help Haitians help Haiti, one that doesn’t cost U.S. taxpayers a dime. Obama should have immediately given the estimated 30,000 undocumented Haitians in this country who are in danger of being deported a chance to stay here a while and work. Like other large immigrant groups here, Haitians send millions of dollars back to family and friends in their homeland every month. For Haiti, whose $7 billion economy equals about $2 per person per day, that cash goes a long way. According to the World Bank, remittances
provide almost a fourth of the island nation’s gross domestic product. Worried about foreign aid? Remittances provide almost 10 times the annual assistance that Haiti receives from the U. S. Agency for International DevelopClarence ment. WorPage ried about Tribune Media illegal imServices migration? Allowing Haitians who already are here to stay and work for a limited amount of time is not a radical idea. It’s not even a new idea. Since 1990, Congress has offered temporary protected status to otherwise law-abiding immigrants whose status in this country is illegal or in limbo, yet whose home countries are suffering from armed conflict or other disasters that would make their return hazardous. TPS enables them to stay and to work here legally in 18-month increments until the disaster has passed. It was granted in 1999, for example, to Hondurans,
Nicaraguans and Salvadorans a year after Hurricane Mitch swept across Central America. Dozens of other countries as diverse as Sudan, Lebanon, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Somalia and Liberia also have received the designation. And, despite concerns of some critics, it has not set off a surge of would-be refugees to flood our shores, partly because the temporary status applies only to people who already are in the country. The announced policy change will allow qualified Haitian immigrants to apply for work permits, which requires a $340 annual fee. Under Haiti’s current circumstances, the president should waive that fee. A day after Haiti’s earthquake, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano ordered a temporary halt to all removals of Haitians not charged with crimes. But her order amounted to little more than a formalization of a move that the department quietly made early last year. That meant, despite urgent pleas from Haiti’s President Rene Preval and human-rights organizations on Haiti’s behalf, that Haiti continued to be denied the help that other distressed na-
tions have received. President George W. Bush ignored TPS for Haiti during his White House tenure and Obama has repeatedly sidestepped the issue, saying only that it should be part of a “broader conversation about immigration,” which could take months or even years. If Obama found it easier to call up dollars than moral courage on this issue, blame the always-touchy issue of immigration. Yet, even the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a leading opponent of amnesty for illegals, offered a conditional nod to TPS for Haitians, as long as it is truly temporary. After its latest disaster, writes FAIR President Dan Stein on his Web site, Haiti deserves TPS. But he also insists that the status be terminated for nationals from other countries like Honduras and El Salvador where Stein believes “conditions no longer merit their continued presence in this country.” Perhaps that dispute could be part of the “broader conversation about immigration” that Obama wants. Meanwhile, Haiti needs help now. Haitians outside of Haiti already are trying to send it. This country can help them to send more.
Tough love the only long-term cure for Haiti The images from Haiti are, if anything, only getting worse. What was left of an already fragile society is starting to break down, as violence and chaos take over. Despite the heroic efforts of aid workers and the battered Haitian government, it looks as if Haiti’s problems will persist well into the 21st century, long after the debris is cleared and the houses are rebuilt. While the scope of the tragedy in Haiti is nearly impossible to exaggerate, it’s important to remember that last week’s earthquake was so deadly because Haiti is Haiti. If a similarly powerful earthquake were to hit much more densely populated San Francisco or Los Angeles, the death toll would be much lower. That’s an amazing thing when you consider that American cities are crammed with skyscrapers while Portau-Prince’s skyline was, for the most part, one story high. Indeed, as others have noted, when a 7.1 earthquake hit the Bay Area two decades ago, 67 people were killed. Meanwhile, the Haitian death toll is almost unknowable, but almost certainly over 100,000 and climbing. It’s hardly news that poverty makes people vulnerable to the full arsenal of Mother Nature’s fury. The closer you are to living in a state of nature, the crueler nature will be — which is one reason why people who romanticize
tribal or pre-capitalist life (that would be you, James Cameron) tend to do so from a safe, air-conditioned distance and with easy access to flushing toilets, antibiotics, dentistry and Chinese takeout. The sad truth about Haiti isn’t simply that it is poor, but that it has a poverty culture. Yes, it has had Jonah luck. Goldberg awful Absolutely, Tribune Media it has been Services exploited, abused and betrayed ever since its days as a slave colony. So, if it alleviates Western guilt to say that Haiti’s poverty stems entirely from a legacy of racism and colonialism, fine. But Haiti has been independent and the poorest country in the hemisphere for a long time. Even if blame lies everywhere except among the victims themselves, it doesn’t change the fact that Haiti will never get out of grinding poverty until it abandons much of its culture. When Haitians leave Haiti for the U.S. they get richer almost overnight. This isn’t simply because wages are higher here or welfare payments more generous. Coming to America is a cultural
leap of faith, physically and psychologically. Arnold Kling and Nick Schulz note in their phenomenal new book, “From Poverty to Prosperity,” that low-skilled Mexican laborers become 10 to 20 times more productive simply by crossing the border into the United States. William Lewis, former director of the McKinsey Global Institute, found that illiterate, non-English-speaking Mexican agricultural laborers in the U.S. were four times more productive than the same sorts of laborers in Brazil. Why? Because American culture not only expects hard work, but teaches the unskilled how to work hard. It’s true that Haiti has few natural resources, but neither do Japan or Switzerland. What those countries do have are what Kling and Schulz call valuable “intangible assets” — the skills, rules, laws, education, knowledge, customs, expectation, etc. — that drives a prosperous society to generate prosperity. That is where the real wealth of nations is to be found — not in factories, oil deposits and gold mines, but in our heads and in the habits of our hearts. Indeed, a recent World Bank study found that 82 percent of America’s wealth could be found in our intangible assets. Haiti’s poverty stems from its lack of intangible capital. It shares the island of His-
paniola with the Dominican Republic, and yet the Dominicans have six times the GDP (and are far better stewards of their environment). Collectively, Haiti depends on the kindness of strangers much more than on itself. Before the earthquake, Haiti had 10,000 nongovernmental organizations working there, the highest rate per capita in the world. In 2007, notes Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal, they had 10 times as much foreign aid as investment. If people are determined to blame Haiti’s problems on someone other than the Haitians, perhaps they could start by looking at the damage done by the foreign-aid industry. I admit that I have a soft spot for Haiti, in part because the country is such an incredible underdog, and I’ve always admired the HaitianAmericans I’ve known. I also have Haitians in my family — my brother is married to a Haitian immigrant. So I say this with the best of intentions. Once the dead are buried, the wounded and sick healed and the rubble cleared, it’s time for some tough love. Otherwise, Americans will just be back to clear the debris after the next disaster.

father, “Nate,” which seemed to please everyone. After my adopted dad passed, Nate came back into my life. I have not seen much of him but he was present at my second marriage five years ago, traveling across country to be there. Last month he called to tell me he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and has named me as his heir since my older brother is deceased. As a birthday gift, I presented him with a box from a company that does genome sequencing. It allows people to see their DNA and learn about their ancestry as well as any health-related issues. I enjoyed learning about genetics and thought Nate would, too. Imagine how stunned I was when I learned that Nate is NOT my father. The company has assured me there is little chance the test is wrong, and they are certain we are not related. I am close to my mother and horrified that she kept this secret from me for more than 50 years. I don’t want anyone to be hurt, but I need the truth. What do I do? — QUESTIONING MY DNA IN S.F. DEAR QUESTIONING: Have a calm, private conversation with your mother and tell her what you have learned. If she denies it, have the test repeated. When you receive the results, either apologize to your mother or raise the subject again. She may know who your father was, or you may have been the result of an opening shot in the sexual revolution, a chapter your mother may not care to revisit. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

DEAR ABBY: I have always been a curious and motivated person. Because of it, I pursued higher education and became a college professor. Most of my siblings have also gone to college. However, their significant others have varying levels of education. I like to think of myself as a nice person, but my siblings have let me know that when I converse with their partners, I often come across as patronizing. Do these partners need to be less sensitive, or do I need to be more so? — THE GOOD PROFESSOR DEAR PROF: If only one of your siblings had told you that Dear you often come across Abby as patronUniversal Press izing, I’d Syndicate say his or her partner might be overly sensitive. However, because more than one has said it, it’s time for a self-check. Book smarts are an undeniable asset, but sensitivity to others can be even more important. If you talk down to people, no matter how “smart” you are, eventually they will run away from you. Do you feel compelled to “correct” those whom you know to have less education than you? Do you speak in polysyllables when a few simple words will do? If the answers to these questions are affirmative, you need to be more socially sensitive when you’re with your family — and possibly when you’re in the classroom as well. DEAR ABBY: My parents divorced when my older brother and I were small. Mom remarried, and I was adopted by the wonderful man who raised me as his beloved daughter.

Few men show up at new shelter Warmer weekend weather may have reduced the urgency By DAVID IRVINE Daily Dispatch Writer
Few men took advantage of the new homeless shelter in the basement of First Presbyterian Church during its first week end of operation. Joel Rice, housing coordinator for Five-county Mental Health Authority, said one man stayed overnight on Saturday, two on Sunday and two on Monday.
Capacity of the shelter is 20. Rice said the project is still working to get the word out to the population they hope to serve. He added that the warmer weather over the weekend may have reduced the urgency for shelter. Rice feels that the information about the shelter is reaching more people. He has had calls from interested individuals as well as from social workers.
A new flyer has been printed. It will be displayed in soup kitchens and other locations so it will come to the attention of homeless men. To stay in the shelter, a man must register between 5:30 and 7 p.m. The doors close at 7. Occupants of the shelter will be required to leave by 6:30 a.m. the next day.

Lady Crusaders cruise past N. Vance, 64-23 By ERIC S. ROBINSON Dispatch Sports Editor
Northern Vance was held to just seven points in the first half, and Cardinal Gibbons cruised to a 64-23 victory in Carolina 3A Conference play Tuesday night. The Crusader duo of Chloe Stapleton and Stephanie Scope scored 27 and 17 points, respectively. “We didn’t execute,” said Northern coach Vangie Mitchell. “You’d have thought we hadn’t practiced. I knew (Stapleton and Scope) were their dominant players. They’re a perimeter-oriented team.” “It’s tough when you get a good scouting report and you don’t follow through with it.” The fundamentally sound Crusaders limited mistakes, shot a high percentage and won the rebound battle. Northern rarely had secondchance opportunities on offense.

Vikings get ‘real’ Northern fights back with big third to put away Cardinal Gibbons By ERIC S. ROBINSON Dispatch Sports Editor
With his team down by seven at the half against Cardinal Gibbons, Northern Vance coach Wilton Baskett just had one question at the break. “I just wanted to know where the Vikings are — where the real Vikings are,” he said. In the third quarter, the “real Vikings” arrived. Northern exploded with six quick points to cut the lead to one in the first 2:20. A Brandon
Hargrove lay-up off of a steal gave the Vikings their first lead, 25-23, and they never looked back. Cardinal Gibbons scored four straight at the end of the quarter, but were still out-scored 22-9 in the frame. Northern kept up the pace in the fourth, holding on for the 52-45 Carolina 3A Conference win. “There was no real secret. If there was a secret, I wouldn’t share it, but there’s not one,” said Baskett. “We just needed the real Vikings to show up, and
they did.” Gibbons opened up the game with an 11-2 run, highlighted by Alberto Munoz’s lay-up after a steal. Baskett called a time out with 3:11 left in the period, and Brown connected with a 3 on the Vikings’ next possession. That began a short run that closed the gap, and Northern trailed 11-9 after the first. “Right away going out there, they kind of slugged us...” said Baskett. “They were real physiPlease see NORTHERN, page 4B
Spartans get 3-ball working in win By KELLEN HOLTZMAN Dispatch Sports Writer
Kerr-Vance out-scored Parrott Academy by a combined 55-15 in the second and third quarters en route to a 64-44 Eastern Plains Independent Conference win Tuesday. Parrott led 19-8 after the first quarter, but KVA caught fire from beyond the arc, knocking down all seven of its 3-pointers in the second and third. “The guys didn’t panic,” said Spartan coach David Carrier. “Once you get down eight, nine, 10, you don’t want to let it get to 14 or 16. We did a really good job of getting some stops and hitting some shots.” Cameron Capell led KVA with 19 points, 15 of which came in the second and third. Capell misfired on his first four long-range shots, but knocked down three in a row in the second to pace the Spartans. “He’s not going to miss many in a row,” Carrier said. “He’s a fantastic scorer. He’s a great shooter, but’s turning into an allaround player.”

Valentine nets 29 in KVA win over Parrott By KELLEN HOLTZMAN Dispatch Sports Writer
Drive. Lay. Repeat. That was the cycle for Shameka Valentine and Kerr-Vance in a 49-42 win over Parrott Academy Tuesday. Valentine drove to the lane at will, scoring a game-high 29 points and leading the Spartans to their first Eastern Plains Conference win of the season. “We played as a team. Shameka does a lot for us. There’s no doubt about that, but the other girls are learning how to play with Shameka,” said coach David Carrier. “She’s very important, but the rest of the girls make contributions too with defense, rebounds and knocking down open shots.” KVA only finished with a seven-point win, but the Spartans dominated from the opening tip, building a 21-point lead with just over three minutes to play in the game. Parrott finished the game on a 14-0 run to draw within single digits. The Spartans led 24-14 at halftime and jumped on the Patriots right away in the third quarter. Amanda Wilson followed a Valentine miss with a rebound
and a score inside to make it 3016 in the opening three minutes of the third. “I think it’s really important to get off to a good start just for your confidence,” Carrier said. “I would like to say its something I did, but it’s more of the girls.” Valentine scored 11 points in the third period and notched seven straight points in the game to give KVA a 39-24 lead. “We ask a lot of Shameka offensively,” said Carrier. “I have to beg her to shoot. She would really rather pass, but I think we play our best ball when she’s aggressive, attacking the basket.” Wilson finished with eight points for the Spartans and Hailey Harris had six. “Hailey played great. She finished inside some. She got some big rebounds and was really strong with the ball,” Carrier said. “I thought her, Amanda and Emily (Adkins) gave us what we needed inside tonight.” KVA led 12-6 entering the second quarter. A jumper brought Parrott within four points, but the Spartans ended the half on a 6-0 run. KVA hosts Rocky Mount Academy Friday at 6 p.m. Contact the writer at kholtzman@ hendersondispatch.com.

UConn coach Calhoun taking medical leave By PAT EATON-ROBB Associated Press Writer
HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun took a medical leave Tuesday for an undisclosed condition, the latest health concern for the 67-year-old Hall of Famer. The school did not provide additional details. Calhoun had prostate cancer in 2003 and skin cancer twice, most recently in 2008.
Dr. Peter Schulman, the coach’s primary-care physician, said in a statement he advised Calhoun to take time off “to address some temporary medical issues, none of which involve any previous medical conditions that he has dealt with.” Associate head coach George Blaney will run the Huskies in Calhoun’s absence. UConn is 11-6 and fell out of the Top 25 this week after losing three straight games, including a
68-63 defeat at Michigan on Sunday. The Huskies host St. John’s on Wednesday night and top-ranked Texas on Saturday. “Our primary concern is coach Calhoun’s health and his complete recovery,” UConn athletic director Jeff Hathaway said. “We will do everything possible to support Coach during this time. Calhoun usually meets with the media the day before the game. He was not available Tuesday — a day
earlier, the school said he had prior commitments and a late practice. Calhoun has won two national championships at Connecticut. He led the Huskies to the Final Four last season, but missed the Huskies’ first NCAA tournament game in March after being hospitalized for dehydration. Last June, he was hospitalized after breaking several ribs during a charity bike ride.

MTSU’s Stockstill withrdraws name from ECU search MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) — East Carolina’s next coach won’t be Rick Stockstill. Stockstill, who led Middle Tennessee to a 10-3 record and win over Southern Mississippi in the New Orleans Bowl in 2009, announced Tuesday he has withdrawn his name from East Carolina’s coaching search. Stockstill says he’s “humbled and appreciative” of East Carolina’s interest but felt it would be inappropriate to leave Middle Tennessee with two weeks left before national signing day. Stockstill is 27-23 in four seasons at Middle Tennessee and has twice been named Sun Belt Conference coach of the year. Previously he was an assistant at South Carolina.

Durham County District Court said the three will appear in court on March 25. Their first court appearance was on Tuesday. They were arrested after gunshots were fired near a university residence hall early Sunday. Each is charged with felony possession and discharge of a weapon. Campus police say the shots were fired into the air. No one was hurt and a pistol was recovered. Eighteen-year-olds John Drew and Kyle Griswould of Midland, Ga.; and 19-year-old Brandon Putnam of Peachtree City, Ga., were dismissed from the team after their arrest Sunday. Each is free on $40,000 bond apiece.

SEATTLE — Felix Hernandez and the Seattle Mariners are closing in on a five-year contract that would avoid arbitration and prevent him from becoming a free agent after the 2011 season, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The person confirmed the progress of talks to The Associated Press on Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet finished. Hernandez is due in Seattle on Thursday for a
the contract, the person said. Seattle and representatives for the 23-year-old right-hander exchange proposed arbitration figures Tuesday — Hernandez asked for $11.5 million and the Mariners offered $7.2 million. ESPN.com first reported an agreement of unknown length had been reached. The Mariners began talking to Hernandez’s agents soon after Hernandez finished second in voting for last year’s AL Cy Young Award. Hernandez was 19-5 last year, tied for the most wins in the
first All-Star team and had a career-high 217 strikeouts with a career-low 2.49 ERA. Hernandez went 15-2 with a 1.98 ERA after Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu called him out for not stepping up during a sloppy loss to the Angels on May 19. Surging Seattle has made several major moves this winter in an effort to return to the postseason for the first time since 2001: acquiring former Cy Young winner Cliff Lee from Philadelphia, signing All-Star third baseman Chone Figgins, trading for
hitter Milton Bradley and re-signing Ken Griffey Jr. Signing Hernandez to a long-term deal was the Mariners’ first priority. Hernandez and Lee, signed through 2010, give Seattle co-aces atop a rotation. A five-year deal would leave Hernandez just 28 when he would be eligible for free agency. The native of Valencia, Venezuela, dubbed “King Felix” soon after he arrived in the major leagues, is 5841 in 4 1/2 seasons. He has averaged 14 wins and 183 strikeouts in his four full seasons in the big leagues.
Braves agree to $1.5M deal with right-handed reliever Moylan ATLANTA (AP) — Relief pitcher Peter Moylan has agreed to a $1.15 million, one-year contract with the Atlanta Braves, the last of their arbitration-eligible play-
ers. Moylan made $410,000 last season while setting a franchise record with 87 appearances and a major league mark for most games without al-
lowing a home run. The side-arming right-hander, a native of Australia, went 6-2 with a 2.84 ERA as the main setup reliever after missing most of the previous
season recovering from elbow surgery. Moylan is expected to fill much the same role in a bullpen that now features Billy Wagner and Takashi Saito.
Source: NASCAR looking for new garage boss By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer
CONCORD — NASCAR is interviewing candidates for a new Sprint Cup Series director, and current garage boss John Darby will train his replacement before moving into a managerial role. Several people familiar with NASCAR’s restructuring plan told The Associated Press that Darby will move into an oversight role at the research and development center. The people all spoke on condition of anonymity because NASCAR will not announce its planned changes for 2010 until Thursday. There is no timetable for hiring a new director of NASCAR’s premiere series, and Darby will fill the role as long as it takes to hire and prepare a replacement. Then he will transition into a new position that oversees the officials in all three of NASCAR’s national series, as well as focus on the technical aspects of the sport. Darby replaced Gary Nelson as director of NASCAR’s premiere series following the 2001 season, and is currently responsible for overseeing technical inspections, rules changes and enforcement in the Cup Series. He’s
highly respected among competitors, and his nononsense approach helped rid the garage of the widespread cheating that plagued the sport from its 1949 inception until the past few seasons. “John worked really hard at a time when the sport was shifting to more templates, more rules, having to enforce those rules, and that was very hard to do because it was a mind shift and a shift in how things were being done,” veteran driver Jeff Burton said Tuesday. “I think John handled things very well. It was a very difficult task, and it will certainly part of his legacy.” The news surprised many in the industry Tuesday who were gathered for the annual preseason media tour. Team executives were heard asking others “you hear about Darby?” and longtime owner Richard Childress said he didn’t want to comment until he had a chance to speak to NASCAR. The restructuring is part of several changes NASCAR plans to discuss Thursday during its stop on the media tour. NASCAR is also in the process of replacing the current rear wing with a spoiler, possibly elimi-
nating the yellow out-ofbounds line at Daytona and Talladega, and giving drivers more control in policing themselves on the track. It’s part of a concerted effort to listen to feedback from competitors and fans as the sport faces decreasing television ratings and attendance, as well as economic difficulties that have handcuffed many race teams. Kevin Harvick, a veteran Cup driver who also owns teams in the Nationwide and Truck Series, said the changing landscape of NASCAR will make it difficult for the next series director. “That’s a hard job because of the balance between trying to protect the integrity of the series for NASCAR — and now, the fans have such a strong

opinion of what should and shouldn’t be changed — so it’s a hard balance on the competition side of knowing when to change things,” Harvick said. “I imagine it could wear you out pretty fast.” Harvick said current Truck Series director Wayne Auton was his recommendation for Darby’s replacement, and NASCAR could also choose to promote Nationwide Series director Joe Balash. NASCAR, however, is looking at candidates from outside its organization “It’s a hard job, it’s a thankless job,” Burton said of Cup Series director. “Someone is always (complaining) about something all the time. You do one thing, it makes one guy happy and 20 others mad. It’s one of those jobs that’s hard to win in.” RICHMOND, Va. — These numbers were drawn Tuesday afternoon by the Virginia Lottery: Pick 3: 6-3-5 Pick 4: 9-4-0-1 Cash 5: 11-17-20-27-34 These numbers were drawn Tuesday night: Pick 3: 1-6-6 Pick 4: 5-8-6-0 Cash 5: 3-6-17-21-30 Mega Mill.: 4-5-34-38-41 Mega Ball: 18

Bills hire Chan Gailey as head coach By JOHN WAWROW AP Sports Writer
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Chan Gailey was hired by the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday, getting a second chance to prove himself as an NFL coach and inheriting a team that has missed the playoffs for 10 straight years. Gailey was introduced by general manager Buddy Nix at a new conference which ended a two-month search to replace Dick Jauron, who was fired in November. Gailey takes over a team that finished 6-10 and becomes the Bills’ fifth coach since Marv Levy retired after the 1997 season. Gailey has spent 15 of his 38 years of coaching in the NFL. In his two years coaching the Dallas Cowboys, he went 18-14 and led the team to consecutive playoff appearances — both losses. He was dismissed after the 1999 season, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has acknowledged his mistake in firing Gailey. The 58-year-old Gailey acknowledged he didn’t know if he’d get another opportunity to be a head coach again. “If you sit there and say you lose confidence in yourself, no you don’t. But then you see opportunities go by. And you hope that your body of work will speak for itself,” Gailey said.

Chan Gailey addresses the media after being introduced as Buffalo’s new head coach as Bills general manager Buddy Nix listens during an Tuesday’s news conference in Orchard Park, N.Y. For Nix, it was Gailey’s extensive background that impressed him and met most of the criteria the GM set out when he took over the search two weeks ago. Nix was eager to find someone with previous head-coaching experience and an offensive background. “This guy met more of the criteria than I thought we could find,” Nix said. “And this guy’s won everywhere he’s been. ... He’ll get us back to winning and get to where we want to go.” Gailey said he intends to serve as the team’s offensive coordinator, and is now assembling a staff. Gailey has been out of football since he was removed as the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator in August, two weeks before the season opener. He was
entering his second season with Kansas City after a six-year stretch as Georgia Tech’s coach, during which he went 44-33 before being fired in 2007. The Bills hit several bumps during their coaching search. They spoke with former Steelers coach Bill Cowher in an attempt to lure him out of broadcasting. The team also interviewed former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, who instead chose to coach the Washington Redskins. Last week, Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer rejected the Bills’ request for an interview. Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier was considered the top candidate after interviewing two weeks ago. Frazier’s stock appeared to climb even
further after his defense shut down the Cowboys in Minnesota’s 34-3 win in the playoffs Sunday. Gailey has run college and pro teams, including a two-year stint as coach of the World League of American Football Birmingham Fire in 1991-92. He also coached Troy State (198384) and Samford (1993). At Georgia Tech, Gailey led the Yellow Jackets to six bowl appearances, but his time there ended after a 7-5 finish and going 0-6 against rival Georgia. With Buffalo, Gailey’s top priority will be sparking an offense that has finished 25th or worst in yards gained in each of the past seven seasons. Finding a franchise quarterback would help, too. A combination of injuries and futility led to the Bills to go through three starters this past year. The team has not had a starting quarterback stay for more than three years since Hall of Famer Jim Kelly retired following the 1996 season. Gailey would also need to warm up to Bills fans, who spent the past two weeks clamoring for the team to hire Cowher. Fans raised $1,125 to rent a billboard in Buffalo last week urging team owner Ralph Wilson to hire Cowher. ——— AP Sports Writer Jaime Aron in Dallas contributed to this report.

Kim Clijsters returns the ball to Tamarine Tanasugarn during their women’s singles match at the Australian Open tennis championship in Melbourne, Australia Wednesday.
Clijsters, Kuznetsova advance in Aussie Open By JOHN PYE AP Sports Writer
MELBOURNE, Australia — U.S. Open champion Kim Clijsters took another step toward winning a second consecutive Grand Slam with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Tamarine Tanasugarn in the second round of the Australian Open on Wednesday. Clijsters won the last six games after dropping serve to open the second set against the 32-yearold Thai veteran who was playing her 51st major.Clijsters will next play No. 19 Nadia Petrova, one of the Russian women already into the third round after French Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova and Maria Kirilenko advanced earlier Wednesday. On the men’s side, No. 7 Andy Roddick had a 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win over Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci and No. 11 Fernando Gonzalez of Chile, the 2007 runnerup, beat Turkey’s Marsel Ilhan 6-3, 6-4, 7-5. The 26-year-old Clijsters won at Flushing Meadows in September in only her third tournament back from two years off the tour in which she got married
and had a baby. No. 15-ranked Clijsters improved to 20 wins and three losses since her comeback, a run in which she became the first mother to win a major since Evonne Goolagong Cawley at Wimbledon in 1980. She beat former No. 1-ranked Justine Henin for the title at the Brisbane International on Jan. 9 in what was Henin’s comeback tournament after 20 months off the tour. The Belgian pair will stay on track to meet in the quarterfinals here if unranked and unseeded Henin can get past Olympic gold medalist Elena Dementieva later Wednesday. Clijsters has reached the semifinals or better in her last four trips to Melbourne Park and lost the 2004 final to Henin. No. 16-ranked Yanina Wickmayer, a Belgian who didn’t get a seeding here because her suspension for a World Anti-Doping Agency “whereabouts rule” violation hadn’t been overturned before entries closed, reached the thirdround with a 7-6 (2), 6-1 win over No. 12 Flavia Penneta of Italy.

ACC HOOPS
No. 19 Ga. Tech edges No. 17 Clemson, 66-64 By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer
Daily Dispatch/ASHLEY STEVEN AYSCUE
Northern Vance's Quentin Rice hits a layup during the second half of the Vikings' win over Cardinal Gibbons Tuesday night. To view or purchase photos, visit us on the Web at www.hendersondispatch.com.
NORTHERN, from page 1B cal, they were muscling us.” Gibbons extended their lead with more Munoz in the second. The senior standout connected with a 3 to make it 16-9, and then later threw down a dunk after a steal to increase the advantage. Gibbons took a 22-15 lead at the half. “I thought we started the game off real flat. I don’t know if we made that much adjustments or not,” Baskett said. “The thing I thought was at the beginning of the game, we were letting them play us like they were having a waltz in the park. They were initiating their offense, throwing 20- and 30-foot passes.” The Crusaders had a hard time initiating much of anything early in the third. Hargrove shot the bucket that tied it at 23 seconds before his lay-up that gave them the lead. Gibbons tied it at 25, but a Shawn Brown bucket gave Northern the lead for good. The stingy Viking defense continued to create offense. Cameron Butler created a turnover and dropped in a dunk to increase the lead to 31-25 with 2:35 left in the third. Gibbons brought it to within four twice in the fourth. Two Munoz free throws with 2:25 to go made it 45-40, but the Crusaders would never get closer. A Hargrove lay-up after a turnover with about 30 seconds to go was the exclamation point.
“That’s a huge win. That’s definitely one that could have gotten away, easily could have gotten away,” said Baskett. Brown led the Vikings in scoring with 17. Butler had 11 points, and Hargrove finished with 10. Munoz led all scorers with 18 points. Joe Vance had 16. Northern improves to 12-2 overall, and in a good spot at 3-0 in the conference. A rivalry game at J.F. Webb looms Friday, with Southern Vance coming up next on Tuesday. Baskett gave credit to assistant coach William Ragland for the team’s success. Ragland, Baskett said, assumed more coaching duties while Baskett had to deal with health issues. “I think we’re coming around really nice. Coach Ragland — I tip my hat to him because, without having the title, he took on a major role with this team and he just kept our head above water until I physically felt like joining,” Baskett said. The start of Tuesday’s boys’ game was delayed for a few minutes when a Cardinal Gibbons fan reportedly began having a seizure in the crowd. Nearby spectators assisted her, and she walked with assistance out of the gymnasium. Northern Athletic Director David Hicks said after the game she was receiving fluids at the local hospital and was “okay.” Contact the writer at erobinson@hendersondispatch.com.
LADY VIKES, from page 1B aspect of the game, they killed us,” said Mitchell. Stapleton and Scope connected with 3s to open the game as part of a 10-0 run. Nalinda Woods got Northern’s first basket with 3:20 left in the first. At the end of the quarter, the Vikings trailed 14-5. Gibbons extended their big advantage with a dominant second quarter which saw them out-score Northern 19-2. The Northern offense scored a few more points in the third and fourth quarters, but could never get a significant rally started. With the loss, Northern falls to 3-8 overall
and 0-3 in the conference. A tough matchup with rival J.F. Webb looms Friday. “I don’t mind losing this badly when I know that my girls have played 110 percent. I can’t say that about everybody that played tonight, and that’s disappointing when you just don’t give the effort and play with the heart and enthusiasm for the game — win or lose,” Mitchell said. “Every game, I see flashes of things that we need to do, but it’s just not consistent.” Contact the writer at erobinson@hendersondispatch.com.
ATLANTA — Zachery Peacock made two free throws with 3.2 seconds remaining and No. 19 Georgia Tech knocked off another ranked team, beating No. 17 Clemson 66-64 on Tuesday night. Georgia Tech (14-4, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) is off to its best start since 2006-07 and has won backto-back games over ranked teams for the first time since its run to the Final Four in 2004. The Yellow Jackets have beaten three Top 25 teams over an 11day span, also knocking off Duke and North Carolina before edging the Tigers (15-4, 3-2). Both teams turned the ball over in the final seconds, squandering chances to win. Finally, Georgia Tech inbounded to Peacock with 5.1 seconds left. He drove toward the free throw line and lost control of the ball, but the officials called a foul on Trevor Booker. Peacock calmly sank both foul shots on a night the Yellow Jackets made just 11 of 22 at the line. Georgia Tech got big production from its two big men. Derrick Favors had 17 points and 14 rebounds, while Gani Lawal contributed 16 points and 10

Georgia Tech’s Gani Lawal scores as Clemson’s Milton Jennings defends in the first half of Tuesday’s game in Atlanta. rebounds. But it was Peacock, a former starter who now backs up those two, stepping up to provide the winning points. The game was hardly a masterpiece by either team. Georgia Tech shot just 39 percent from the field, including a dismal 3 of 17 from 3-point range. Clemson was even worse — a mere 37 percent shooting — and only 10 of 20 at the line. Booker put the Tigers ahead 64-62 on a pair of
foul shots with 1:25 left, but D’Andre Bell knocked down a couple of free throws to tie it up again with 1:09 to go. That’s when things got really sloppy. With about a six-second difference on the shot clock and the game clock, Georgia Tech’s Mfon Udofia drove toward the lane, fell down and was called for walking. Clemson had a chance to set up for a winning shot, but Demontez Stitt took off toward the basket a
little early, lost control as the defense converged and had the ball bounce out of bounds off his left thigh. That gave it back to the Yellow Jackets, who won it on Peacock’s free throws. Clemson had its inbounds pass knocked away around midcourt and never got off another shot. Georgia Tech got off to a miserable start, missing nine of its first 11 shots and squandering four other possessions with turnovers as Clemson raced out to a 9-2 lead. But the Yellow Jackets finally got it going just before the midway point of the opening half, beginning with Lawal’s dunk that provided the home team with its first lead, 13-11. They wound up making nine shots in a row, stretching out the margin to 31-21, before the streak ended on an airball by Favors. Georgia Tech led 35-29 at the break. Favors had 11 points and six rebounds in the first half, while Lawal chipped in with 10 points and four rebounds. Both big men picked up their third foul early in the second half, forcing them to spend more time on the bench than coach Paul Hewitt would have liked. They managed to make it to the end, rotating in and out with Peacock.
Boston College rallies past Miami, 79-75 By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Reserve Reggie Jackson scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half, helping Boston College overcome a 17-point deficit to beat the Miami Hurricanes 79-75 Tuesday night. The Eagles trailed 58-41 with less than 16 minutes left before a 22-7 run got them back in the game. Jackson fed Joe Trapani for a layup as the shot-clock buzzer sounded to put the Eagles up for the first time in the second half, 70-69 with 2:50 left.
They led the rest of the way. Trapani, a junior, scored a career-high 31 points, including two free throws with 5 seconds left to seal the win. The Eagles (11-8, 2-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) completed a season sweep of Miami. Boston College also won when the teams played Dec. 6 but had since lost three consecutive league games, all by 16 points or more. The Hurricanes (15-4, 1-4) have lost three in a row after they briefly cracked the Top 25 thanks to their best start in 50 years.
In the final 15:45, Boston College shot 15 for 22 (68 percent) while Miami shot 4 for 19 (21 percent). An 8-0 run put the Eagles ahead 74-69, and they scored on their final three possessions to close out the win. Trapani shot 11 for 20, including 5 for 10 from 3-point range. Jackson shot 7 for 12 and added five rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes. The Hurricanes lost despite strong play from the frontcourt combination of Reggie Johnson and Dwayne Collins. Johnson, a 290-pound freshman,
had a breakout game with a season-high 15 points and nine rebounds in 23 minutes. Collins added 15 points and 11 rebounds. But nobody was scoring down the stretch for the Hurricanes, who fell to 9-1 at home this season. The Eagles set a frantic early pace by making nine of their first 11 shots for a 21-16 lead after less than 6 1/2 minutes. But Miami went on an 18-2 run to surge ahead 37-25. Trapani sank a buzzerbeating 3-pointer to end the first half — a sign of things to come. That left the Eagles trailing 45-35.
Maryland cruises to 106-55 victory over Longwood By DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Sean Mosley scored 21 points on 8-for-8 shooting, Landon Milbourne added 19, and Maryland enjoyed a respite from Atlantic Coast Conference competition with a 106-55 rout of Longwood on Tuesday night. The Terrapins (12-5) cruised despite getting only 10 points from leading scorer Greivis Vasquez, who didn’t make his first basket until early in the second half.
By that time, the outcome was no longer in doubt. It was the final nonleague matchup of the regular season for the Terrapins, who have 13 ACC games left on their schedule. Six Maryland players scored in double figures, including freshman Jordan Williams, who had 13 points and 10 rebounds. Dana Smith scored 25 for Longwood (4-15), making eight of the Lancers’ 20 baskets. The 6-foot-5 forward played in his 123rd career game,
tying a school record. The Lancers are 0-3 against ACC teams this season and 0-10 since moving to Division I in the 2004-05 season. The Terrapins shot 60 percent from the floor and went 13 for 16 at the line in taking a 57-30 halftime lead — the most points they’ve scored in the first half since getting 58 in a win over St. John’s in November 2006. Maryland used early runs of 12-1 and 9-0 to take a 23-5 lead. Vasquez missed his first four shots, but the rest of the Terrapins went 8-for-8.
The Lancers stayed within 20 points until Mosley made a driving layup and added a 3-pointer to spark an 8-0 spree that made it 52-24. Vasquez finally broke into the scoring column during the run, sinking a free throw with 4:12 remaining in the half. The senior guard, who came in averaging 18.4 points per game, made his first basket with 18:54 left to put the Terrapins ahead 63-30. Maryland upped the margin to 41 points, 7837, on a basket by Adrian Bowie with 13:48 to go.
Bolton followed up an errant shot from Capell for two points to give the Spartans a 28-27 advantage. Capell hit another jumper from downtown on the ensuing possession to make it 31-28 and the Patriots couldn’t find a reply. Bolton again cleaned up a stray shot from Capell under the glass — this time giving KVA a ninepoint halftime lead just before the buzzer sounded. “I feel like we’re getting better every day in practice and it’s showing up in the games,” said Carrier. “It’s good for the guys to know if you practice hard
and do the right things in practice, it can translate to good ball games.” Parrott was the team on fire in the early stages. The Patriots shot 4-of-6 from 3-point range in the first quarter to build their 11-point lead. Tyler Overby scored seven of his 16 points in the first quarter for the Spartans. Bolton finished with 14 points and Devonne Smith had eight. KVA looks for its third conference win of the season on Friday as it hosts Rocky Mount Academy at 7:30 p.m.
KVA, from page 1B KVA (7-6, 2-1) led 55-34 heading into the fourth and led by as many as 24 in the final frame. The Spartans picked right up where they left off in the third quarter, holding a 36-27 lead. Capell sparked an 11-2 KVA rally by nailing a 3 to open the scoring in the second half. Capell and Tyler Bolton sank back-to-back 3s to give the Spartans a 45-29 lead with just under four minutes to play in the third. After a first half that saw 22 combined free throws, KVA accounted for the only attempt in the third quarter, giving the
game a pace that favored the hot Spartans. “We play man-to-man defense. We come out and play hard and we’re going to hang our hat on our defense, and tonight it worked out for us,” said Carrier. KVA wasted no time mounting a comeback in the second quarter, led by a Capell 3 to cut the Parrott lead to single digits. Two free throws from Bolton brought the Spartans within one at 21-20 with 4:19 to play. Then the game reached a feverish pace with both teams trading baskets until KVA took the lead with 2:55 to play.

Today’s answer
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have to put more time and effort into enjoying life and less into worrying about the things you cannot change. Love will help give you the strength and courage to surpass the people who have hurt you personally or professionally. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taking on problems that don’t belong to you is pointless. Give more time and effort to your own accomplishments. A personal problem will leave you feeling confused. Make whatever adjustments are necessary. 4 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let someone’s change of plans cause you to alter what you intend to do. An offer being made will not be as good as it first appears. Get the lowdown on what’s actually expected of you before you make a commitment. 2 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Let everyone know where you stand so you can get matters resolved and move on to bigger and better things. Avoid taking on a burden or responsibility that will cause you to miss out on a chance of a lifetime. 2 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be tempted to travel for love or money but, in the end, it will be a waste of your time. Put your time into constructive, professional pursuits. Don’t limit the possibilities by making poor choices. 5 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t let your emotions get in the way of what needs to be done. You have plenty of options that can lead to some interesting and fruitful endeavors if you keep a sound mind and realistic outlook. Social networking will pay off. 3 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): An emotional matter will bring to the

surface issues that need to be addressed. A romantic relationship can help you determine how you want to handle the personal and professional problems you face and the decisions you need to make. 3 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Look at your situation realistically. If you allow someone you love to talk you into something you aren’t ready to do, you will have regrets that will lead to a breakdown of your relationship. Change is needed but must be a positive endeavor. 5 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You won’t be able to handle emotional turmoil in a practical manner. Don’t let someone coerce you into making a promise you know you will not keep. A partnership you’ve been considering will determine how much you can do. 2 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A change will be as good as a rest. Visit an old friend or a destination that brings you great joy and relaxation. You need time to think about how you are going to take care of some of the responsibilities heading your way. 4 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t slip into the same old routine when you can be and do so much more. Look to someone you respect to help you move forward instead of stagnating and making the same mistakes over again. Do what needs to be done. 3 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t let erratic behavior be your downfall. If you are unfair or think you deserve more than everyone else, you will find yourself on a slippery slope, losing your fair share and not getting anything at all. 3 stars
