Ready for life, better parenting

Awareness, funds goals of meeting of leaders, public

By DISPATCH STAFF

Law enforcement officials, government leaders and the public will gather at noon today to look for solutions to Vance County’s gang problem.

Melissa Elliott, who started the organization Gang Free in 2005, is helping to put on the forum in the District Court at the Vance County Courthouse.

Elliott, who works as a case manger at Warren Corrections Institution, will present a Powerpoint presentation on gangs in the area. She said her presentation will highlight just how bad the gang problem is and how it affects area youth.

Sen. Doug Berger and Craig Turner with the Governor’s Crime Commission, among others, are scheduled to speak at the forum.

“We are hoping the forum will not just bring awareness — we know we have a gang problem — but help bring some funding,” Elliott said. “We need funding for law enforcement to address intervention/prevention issues.

“We’re hoping they (government leaders) see the need here,” she said. “We need more programs here.”

Annie Perry, right, adolescent parenting coordinator, works with Seairra Fleet in the resource library at Franklin-Granville-Vance Partnership for Children Wednesday afternoon.

Northern Vance student chooses different plan, sees bright future

By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer

At 20, Seairra Fleet, a senior at Northern Vance High School, is the unwed mother of a 4-year-old boy. To most, her future looks like so many who have been in her shoes before.

But Fleet has different plans in mind.

Besides getting an academic diploma next June, she will graduate from Vance County’s Adolescent Parenting Program.

“I kind of figured I had to go back to school

to support my baby and get a good job,” she said.

Run by Franklin-Granville-Vance Smart Start, the program in Vance helps young women like Fleet improve their lives by staying in school and refraining from having a second child before they are ready to handle even more responsibility.

In 2008, the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign of North Carolina ranked Vance third out of 100 counties for pregnancies in the 15-19 age group.

Vance was No. 1 in 2007, No. 2 in 2006, and No. 1 in 2005.

Similar-but-separate prevention programs are also being operated in Granville and Franklin counties.

“I’ve learned how to become a better parent,” Fleet said while sitting in the office of Annie Perry, who is the program coordinator.

“It also gives you a chance to believe in yourself,” she said. “This place helps you learn Please see STUDENT, page 3A

Averette, Karan renew election rivalry Creedmoor official sets sights on county seat

By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

CREEDMOOR — City Commissioner Tim Karan said Friday he will file qualifying papers to again run for the District 6 Granville County commission position, meaning there will be a rematch with longtime incumbent Pete Averette.

Karan is taking a different approach this time, calling Averette “a great guy” instead of blasting Averette for allegedly poor repre-

sentation as he did in the 2006 contest.

At the same time, Karan said he is promising to bring a new perspective if elected to serve in county government. Averette Averette, who has served on the commission since 1980, has seen things go from concept to fruition, Karan said. “So, just by virtue of bewing in that posi- Karan tion for such a long time, he is absolutely a wealth of information and has the mind-

set of how things work and how things proceed,” Karan said.

“I just want to be able to add a fresh look at things, try things outside the box that aren’t of the status quo and maybe just breathe a breath of fresh air into the way that the county has been doing business,” Karan said.

Averette, when asked Friday about Karan’s comments, said, “Well, we’ll see.”

“I just enjoy serving the county,” Averette said of why he decided to seek another four-year term in office.

Averette, 77, is a Democrat.

Karan, 41, is a Republican and vice chairman of the Granville County GOP.

Until published reports Thursday confirming Averette’s intention to run again, he had been the lone undecided one of the three county commissioners whose positions are up for election.

District 2’s James Lumpkins, 68, a Democrat who has served on the commission since 1998, said he will bow out. Former Sheriff David Smith, 59, also a Democrat, said he will seek election to the District 2 position.

District 7’s Ron Alligood, 71, also a Democrat and who has served on the commission since 1992, also said he will bow out.

Pruning fruit trees? Here’s a brochure A frequent question this time of year at my office is “How do I prune my apple/pear/peach/grapevine?”

Reading between the lines, here is what is really being said: “I have an old fruit tree that has been completely neglected for the past 10 years. It used to produce the best tasting fruit on the planet. I happened to trip over one of the roots yesterday, and decided to call you to find out how, in five Paul minutes or less, I McKenzie can prune the tree Cooperative back to its former Extension glory.”

After a pleasant conversation and the offer to send a 10-page bulletin with pictures and diagrams, I am quite convinced that my customer knows little more than they did before asking me the question. Pruning fruit trees cannot be learned through a phone conversation, from a 10-page bulletin, or from a 500-word newspaper article.

Basically, there are two ways to learn. You can either have an expert

Guidelines The “Mark It Down” calendar announces events happening in the community that are sponsored by civic organizations, nonprofit groups, government organizations and similar groups. The Daily Dispatch staff asks that items intended for inclusion in the calendar be submitted in writing at least five days in advance of the event. Please include a contact person’s name and phone number in case there are questions. Items for this listing can be e-mailed to communitynews@hendersondispatch.com. Due to the overwhelming number of churches served by the Dispatch, church events cannot be listed in the “Mark It Down” calendar.

show you, or you can use the timehonored method of trial and error. I am quite confident of my profound lack of expertise on the subject, so there is little point in an actual demonstration. However, I hope the following words will help you have less errors in your trials.

First, be advised that the preferred shape for apples and pears is central leader. Peaches and nectarines should be trained into the open vase form. Grapevines should have one main cordon trained down each trellis wire with fruiting spurs every few inches.

That last paragraph, obviously, was a complete waste of space as there are a grand total of two fruit trees and three grapevines in the whole of Vance County that have been pruned to the correct form.

Given the typical situation of a neglected tree or vine, the best advice is to follow this one simple principal: the fruit needs exposure to light and air. This helps the fruit grow larger, get sweeter, color better and avoid pests.

How is this accomplished? By cutting away a whole lot more than you think you need to. But how much is too much? Well, you won’t know

until you’ve passed that point.

Boy, that’s a lot of help, huh?

Keep in mind that you can always do additional light cutting in May and June when you can see where the fruit is forming. This also helps reduce next year’s dormant season pruning, as you can remove upright sprouts, suckers and other extraneous growth.

Also, remember to take your time and, as I’ve said before, quit before you think you’re done. You can always tackle it again next year. In fact, restoring a long-neglected tree or vine may be a three-year project.

Be careful, however, not to cut off all of the fruiting wood or flower buds. Hat-racking a tree may leave you fruitless. With grapevines, fruit forms on vines growing from wood produced last season.

If you have any questions about all this, give me a call. We’ll have a nice chat and I’ll send you a bulletin, complete with diagrams and pictures.

LOS ANGELES — The circus that swirled around Michael Jackson when he was alive rolled on Friday as the doctor expecting to be accused of involuntary manslaughter in his death planned to stage a surrender at a courthouse but called it off after prosecutors announced charges will be filed next week.

Instead of the promised appearance by Dr. Conrad Murray and his lawyers, a crowd of reporters and photographers gathered outside a branch courthouse only got a drenching from a rainstorm.

Murray, working as Jackson’s personal physician during the singer’s preparation for comeback concerts, has been under investigation since the 50-year-old pop star died June 25 after being administered the hospital-strength anesthetic propofol and sedatives at his rented mansion to help him sleep.

It’s not clear what would have happened had the cardiologist shown up without a case being filed.

District attorney’s spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said the events had no bearing on when the case would be filed. She released a terse statement

saying prosecutors will be filing a case involving Jackson’s death on Monday, but it did not name Murray or specify the charges.

The doctor’s legal team has said Murray will be charged with involuntary manslaughter.

“We’ll make bail, we’ll plead not guilty and we’ll fight like hell,” said lead defense attorney Ed Chernoff.

The strange chain of events — which at one point saw reporters scramble from the courthouse to nearby recreational grounds called Polliwog Park for a news conference that never happened — fueled intense speculation about what was going on behind the scenes.

The developments occurred against a background of reports that police wanted to arrest and handcuff Murray, but that his attorneys were negotiating with the prosecution to avoid that.

Chernoff said he spoke with prosecutors Thursday about how Murray should be taken to court on Friday.

Discussions broke down after the district attorney’s office insisted Murray turn himself in at a police station, but not post bail and agree to be taken to court by police while in handcuffs.

Louisiana student, principal clash over wearing Colts jersey NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A Louisiana high school student says he was sent home for wearing an Indianapolis Colts jersey after the principal encouraged students to wear jerseys supporting the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl.

However, Livingston Parish School Board member Keith Martin says the boy wasn’t sent home.

He says the teen was told he couldn’t wear the blue jersey because the school uniform was relaxed only for black and gold.

He says he will ask school attorneys whether that violates the right to

free speech, as the American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana says it does.

The ACLU faxed Principal Steve Vampran a letter supporting 17-yearold Brandon Frost. State director Marjorie Esman says she wants Frost’s record cleared of any discipline stemming from the incident.

Obama: Expand small-business loans Plan to raise cap on borrowing to $1 million requires congressional approval

By CHRISTINE SIMMONS Associated Press Writer

LANHAM, Md. — Seeking to create more jobs, President Barack Obama on Friday asked Congress to temporarily expand two lending programs for the owners of small businesses.

Obama said he wants to bolster the impact of the businesses that are the chief creators of new jobs in a struggling economy.

Just hours before he spoke, the nation’s jobless rate finally dipped below 10 percent — to a still-stubbornly high 9.7 percent — in the latest government figures.

With the president’s poll numbers falling and punishing levels of unemployment lingering, Obama has stepped up his

focus on the economy and job creation.

Obama said he wants businesses to be able to refinance their commercial real estate loans under the Small Business Administration and he wants that government agency to increase loans used for lines of credit and capital.

“The truth is, the economy can be growing like gangbusters for years on end and it’s still not easy to run a small business,” Obama said as he visited a heating and air conditioning company in a Maryland suburb of the capital.

He reminded reporters that every once in a while, a small business becomes a large corporation that employs thousands.

The White House said Obama’s plan would temporarily increase the cap

on Small Business Administration Express loans from the current maximum of $350,000 to $1 million.

Obama’s plan would also expand the SBA’s program to support refinancing for owner-occupied commercial real-estate loans.

To be eligible, business owners must have first mortgages and be current on all loan payments for the previous year.

The White House said the proposal would help refinance up to $18.7 billion each year in commercial real estate that might otherwise be foreclosed and liquidated.

The move, however, requires Congress to act — something of an open question, given that Democrats lost their supermajority only a day earlier when Republican Sen. Scott Brown

took office to replace the late Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts.

“What I hope, what I strongly urge is that we work quickly and that we work together to get this done,” Obama said.

Obama wants to send $30 billion from the bank bailout program to community banks for lending to small businesses that need loans to increase their output and hire additional workers.

The president has also proposed eliminating capital gains taxes on small businesses in 2010 and giving small businesses a $5,000 tax credit for every new job created.

AP writer Philip Elliott contributed to this report from Washington.

Business Wire N.C. man named CEO of coastal S.C. real estate firm MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) — The most influential real estate company along South Carolina’s northern coast has chosen a Charlotte, N.C., developer as its new leader.

The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reported Friday that Burroughs & Chapin Co. has chosen James W. Apple Jr. to take over the real estate giant.

Apple founded Trade Street Partners in Charlotte in 2000 after serving as an area president for Charlotte-based Trammell Crow Co. Burroughs & Chapin owns 20,000 acres in Horry County, including beach-front real estate where the Pavilion amusement park once stood and the vacant Myrtle Square Mall.

The company has struggled in the recession, posting a nearly $53 million operating loss in 2008, forcing layoffs and the suspension of its dividend.

GMAC eliminates 115 jobs in N.C. CHARLOTTE (AP) — GMAC Financial Services is eliminating 115 jobs as it closes two offices in North Carolina.

The Charlotte Observer reported Friday that the Detroit-based home and auto lender is closing

offices in SouthPark in Charlotte and near Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. GMAC advised the state this week of the closings.

Spokeswoman Gina Proia says the call center and collections work done at those offices is being transferred to larger GMAC locations.

State and local officials approved more than $4.5 million in incentives in March to persuade GMAC to expand in Charlotte. In return, the company said it planned to add 200 jobs over two years.

The federal government owns GMAC, which said Thursday it lost $5 billion in the last three months of 2009.

Consumer credit down in Nov. for record 11th month WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans borrowed less for an 11th consecutive month in December, paying off credit cards while increasing borrowing for cars and other products.

The mixed picture raises hopes that Americans may soon return to spending, a necessary condition for economic recovery.

But the record 11-month decrease in overall borrowing shows consumers are still holding back amid lingering economic uncertainty and 9.7 percent unemployment.

The Federal Reserve said Friday that total

borrowing dropped by $1.8 billion — far less than the revised $10.6 billion for November. It also was well below the $9 billion analysts had expected.

Borrowing on credit cards fell by $8.5 billion, while other types of loans increased by $6.8 billion.

U.S. swine flu epidemic shows signs of being over ATLANTA (AP) — Is the U.S. swine flu epidemic over? Federal health officials won’t go so far as to say that, but on Friday they reported for the fourth week in a row that no states had widespread flu activity.

U.S. cases have been declining since October. An official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says swine flu cases are still occurring and are likely to continue a while longer at some level.

But another expert said a future large wave of cases now seems very unlikely.

The expert, Vanderbilt University’s Dr. William Schaffner, said the epidemic has “one foot in the grave.”

An estimated 70 million Americans have been vaccinated against swine flu through a government vaccination campaign that started in October.

Meanwhile, an estimated 55 million or more got sick from swine flu

and recovered, meaning they developed some level of natural immunity from the experience.

Combined, that means that 40 percent or more of the public has immunity to the virus.

Such numbers will make it difficult for swine flu in its current form to reappear in a new wave, Schaffner noted.

Toyota’s chief apologizes for global recalls TOKYO (AP) — Toyota’s president apologized for the automaker’s global recalls and promised to beef up quality control by setting up a special committee he would head himself.

Toyota Motor Corp.

President Akio Toyoda said the automaker was still deciding what to do to fix braking problems with the popular Prius gaselectric hybrid.

Toyoda, grandson of Toyota’s founder, was speaking at a hastily called news conference in Nagoya, Japan, late Friday, which was shown at Toyota’s Tokyo office by satellite feed.

The automaker has acknowledged the new Prius that went on sale in May last year has braking problems.

Toyoda did not announce a recall, but Toyota said this week it was considering one.

USDA implements SURE payments for '08 losses USDA has implemented the new Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments program in accordance with the 2008 Farm Bill.

“This program is an important component of the farm safety net and will provide financial assistance to producers who have suffered crop losses due to natural disasters,” Aaron Martin, executive director of USDA’s Farm Service Agency in North Carolina, said.

Martin also encouraged producers to visit their FSA county office to participate in the program if they suffered crop production losses during the 2008 crop year.

SURE provide crop disaster assistance payments to eligible producers on farms that have incurred crop production or crop quality losses. The program takes into consideration crop losses on all crops grown by a producer nationwide.

SURE provides assistance in an amount equal to 60 percent of the difference between the SURE farm guarantee and

total farm revenue.

To be eligible for SURE, producers must have suffered at least a 10 percent production loss on their total farm revenue. In addition, producers must meet the risk management purchase requirement by either obtaining a policy or plan of insurance, under the Federal Crop Insurance Act or NAP coverage, for all economically significant crops.

In addition to meeting the risk management purchase requirement, a producer must have a farming interest physically located in a county that was declared a primary disaster county or contiguous county by the Secretary of Agriculture under a Secretarial Disaster Designation. Producers may also be eligible for SURE if the actual production on the farm is less than 50 percent of the normal production on the farm due to a natural disaster.

For more information on the new SURE program, visit a local FSA county office or http://www.fsa.usd.gov.

Vikings edged by Crusaders, 45-44

Wilton Baskett has said his team has been “playing with fire” recently with a couple of close, come-from-behind wins in conference competition.

In Raleigh Friday night, it caught up with the Vikings. Northern Vance fell 45-44 to Cardinal Gibbons in Carolina 3A

“Tonight, we finally got burned,” said Baskett.

Northern got their first lead of the night with about a minute left in the game with a Brandon Hargrove 2-point bucket.

Gibbons responded with a 3 on their next possession to regain the lead.

Crusader standout Alberto Munoz went

to the line and got one to give his team a 45-42 lead. With 11 seconds left, the Vikings managed three 3-point attempts, but all were off the mark. Phillip Martin tipped in a rebound at the buzzer to set the score at 45-44.

Danica in Daytona

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — For a few minutes, at least, Danica Patrick had the fastest qualifying time for her Daytona debut.

It didn’t last very long.

Patrick briefly held pole position early in Friday’s ARCA qualifying session, eventually falling to 12th as other drivers posted faster speeds. The IndyCar star will make her widely anticipated stock car debut Saturday — and, as her crew chief noted, at least she’s starting close enough to the front to see the pace car.

“Now it’s just time to think about how the heck I am going to run this race,” Patrick said.

For fans and fellow competitors, it will be the first real chance to see whether Patrick has the potential to replicate her IndyCar success behind the wheel of a stock car.

Patrick’s stock car experience so far is limited to a test session in December and a handful of practice laps this week.

That helps, but there’s really no way to simulate the tension of racing at high speeds Montoya in a tight pack or the complexities of working in the draft — tailgating the car in front of you to avoid wind resistance — to zigzag through the field.

“I don’t think it’s going to be easy, but I think it will be fun,” Patrick said.

For now, Patrick is trying to absorb knowledge from anywhere she can. It made sense to talk to Juan Pablo Montoya, a former open-wheel racing star who made a successful transition to NASCAR. “(Montoya) was just helping me out with the drafting of the car,” Patrick said. “And we were laughing about his driving, and giving it back to the drivers if they give it to you.”

Patrick didn’t go to Montoya for advice — Montoya went out of his way to find her Thursday.

“I’ve never spoken to Juan before,” Patrick said. “He’s a really nice guy. I really liked talking to him and he offered up his help throughout the rest of the year if I want it, whatever I want, so I have a lot to learn from Juan.”

Montoya said during Thursday’s Daytona 500 media day that he expects Patrick to be successful in stock cars, but perhaps not right away.

“To start with, she is going to struggle,” Montoya said. “But if

Roanoke Rapids’ Martin too much for Warren Co.

By KELLEN HOLTZMAN Dispatch Sports Writer

WARRENTON — Wednesday, Roanoke Rapids star defensive end Kareem Martin signed his letter of intent to play football for Butch Davis at North Carolina.

On Friday, he was wreaking havoc on the hardwood for the Yellow Jackets in a 64-51 win over Warren County.

Martin, a 6-foot-6, 220-pound senior, was just

shy of a triple-double against the Eagles, racking up 16 points, 11 rebounds and nine blocks.

“We had to stop our motion offense because of him inside. We had to stop and shoot jump shots over him,” said Warren County coach Ed Miles.

“He sits in the middle of the zone and he’s got some quick feet too. He’s all over the place. And he never came out of the game.”

Martin is listed as a three-star prospect by Please see ROADBLOCK, page 2B

The first time KerrVance’s boys’ basketball team faced Arendell Parrott at home, the Spartans won 64-44.

Friday night in Kinston was a different story.

With a much-improved performance, the Patriots notched a 65-47 Eastern Plains Independent Conference win.

“They beat us in every phase of the game,” said KVA coach Dave Carrier.

KVA was able to force turnovers in the first matchup. Friday, Parrott was able to handle the press. Turnovers instead were costly for the Spartans, who also struggled at the line, shooting 6 of 16.

Carrier credited the Patriots for a strong effort.

“We very rarely got any easy buckets tonight,” he said.

Down by just two at the half, Parrott extended the advantage to 10 after the third.

“They just took it to us in the fourth quarter,” said Carrier.

Cameron Capell led KVA with 13 points.

The Spartans are now 9-9 and 4-3 in the EPIC. The girls’ squad had similar luck, falling 45-22 to the Patriots in Kinston.

“Parrott played a great game. They beat us start to finish,” Carrier said.

No individual player scored more than six points for KVA. With the loss, the girls fall to 5-13 overall and 2-5 in the EPIC. The teams host St. David’s Monday.

Warren Co. comes up short vs. Jackets

Daily Dispatch/EARL KING

Warren County’s Leanna Crawford puts up a shot during the Eagles’ Friday night loss to Roanoke Rapids.

WARRENTON — Warren County stayed close, but never could get within striking distance against Roanoke Rapids on the Eagles’ senior night.

Warren County closed the margin to four points in the final two minutes, but the Yellow Jackets maintained control in their 38-31 win Friday night.

“I can’t take anything away from them,” Eagles coach Sheila Seward said of Roanoke Rapids. “They played really good. They ran the court well and that gave us problems.”

The Jackets had problems of their own, committing 22 turnovers. Warren County finished with 19 turnovers in the lowscoring affair.

Roanoke Rapids opened up a 23-11 lead in the third quarter before the Eagles put together a run.

Warren County closed the third on a 7-3 rally, led by two baskets from Rebekah Cox down low.

Cox finished with seven points on the night.

“I just told her it was her best game, but she needs to be more consistent. She gave the team what we needed,” Seward said.

Seward said she was impressed with her team’s ball movement in the third period.

“We’re trying to find the vibe. In that third quarter, we found that chemistry that we need,” she said.

Two free throws from the Eagles’ Calena Jeffries made it 33-26 with 2:11 to play.

Khadija Brown followed up Jeffries’ two points with a finish inside to make it 33-29 with 1:45 to play.

“I told them to turn the heat up. We had to get the ball and we needed to get the ball inside,” said Seward.

Warren County got the ball back on the Jackets’ next possession after forcing a jump ball — but the Eagles couldn’t keep the run alive and Roanoke Please see EAGLES, page 3B

NHL Hurricanes put LaRose on injured list RALEIGH (AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes placed forward Chad LaRose on injured reserve Friday and called up two players from their AHL affiliate in Albany.

LaRose suffered an upper body injury during a 4-2 win against Chicago on Jan. 30, the team said, and did not travel with Carolina on its four-game road trip.He previously missed 17 games with a lower body injury.

Carolina brought up goaltender Justin Peters and forward Zach Boychuk from Albany. The Hurricanes picked Boychuk with the 14th overall selection in 2008, and called him up for the fourth time this season. The 20-year-old has one assist in nine games.

Golf Johnson makes hole-in-one at Riviera LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dustin Johnson made a hole-in-one and Steve Stricker had seven birdies to brighten an otherwise dreary day at rainy Riviera and finish atop the leaderboard Friday at the Northern Trust Open.

Johnson’s 8-iron from 152 yards landed between the pin and the famous bunker in the middle of the green at No. 6, spinning back into the cup for an ace that put him in the lead for most of the afternoon. He had two holes left when play was halted by darkness.

Stricker, playing in a morning rain that never relented, chipped in for birdie on the 18th and nearly made an ace on No. 4 when his hybrid from 230 yards lipped out. He shot a 6-under 65 and had the clubhouse lead.

“I’m very happy to be done with the round, to tell you the truth,” said Stricker, who was at 10-under 132. “It was pretty miserable out there today.”

Johnson, also 10 under after making his lone bogey on the 15th, was to return Saturday to face the par-5 17th and the 473-yard closing hole at Riviera, which was playing so long in the cold and rain that some players barely reached the green with a 3-wood.

Johnson and Stricker were three shots clear of Andres Romero, who had three holes remaining. Forty-one players failed to finish the second round.

Phil Mickelson, trying to become the first player to win three straight years at Riviera, had a 66 and was at 4-under 138.

Kerr-Vance JV boys, girls fall at Parrott

By DAILY DISPATCH STAFF

Kerr-Vance’s junior varsity boys’ and girls’ squads fell to Eastern Plains Independent Conference foe Arendell Parrott Friday in Kinston.

The boys dropped their

fifth straight EPIC game with a 61-44 loss.

The Spartans showed improvement after losing to Parrott 55-18 two weeks ago, and head coach Brian Russell said he was pleased with the team’s performance.

Hayes Griggs led the Spartans with 20 points, followed by Tyson Carrier with 10.

Dallas Smith and Daniel Burnette each contributed seven.

The girls’ JV squad fell 25-16 to Arendell Parrott.

After falling behind early, the Spartans’ fourth-quarter rally came up short in the loss.

Erin Crews led KVA with six points and Rebecca Ross added four.

Both squads will host St. David’s Monday.

Woman claims Michael Irvin assaulted her

By CURT ANDERSON AP Legal Affairs Writer

MIAMI — A woman claims in a lawsuit filed only days before the Super Bowl that former Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin sexually assaulted her at a South Florida hotel, an allegation labeled a false attempt at “civil extortion” Friday by Irvin’s attorney.

The woman filed the lawsuit Thursday in Broward County Circuit Court seeking unspecified damages for the assault that allegedly occurred July 4 or 5, 2007, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood.

The incident was reported to Seminole tribal police on July 20, 2007, but the woman later signed a waiver of prosecution, Seminole tribe

spokesman Gary Bitner said.

“I think she just wanted to put this behind her,” Bitner said. The case was referred to state prosecutors.

Ron Ishoy, a spokesman for the Broward State Attorney’s office, said the matter remains under investigation but no charges have been filed. Because the woman waited more than two weeks to report the incident, there was no physical evidence or hotel surveillance video, Bitner said.

Irvin, 43, is a member of the pro football Hall of Fame who starred at wide receiver for the Cowboys from 1988 to 1999. The Fort Lauderdale native was also a star in college for the University of Miami, playing on the Hurricanes’ 1987 national championship team.

Irvin is now an analyst for the NFL Network and will be on the air this weekend as part of Super Bowl coverage, NFL Network spokesman Dennis Johnson said in an e-mail.

He said the NFL security department is looking into the allegations.

Until Friday, Irvin also hosted a radio show in the Dallas-Fort Worth market on ESPN. That contract was terminated Friday, although the network said the decision was made before the lawsuit surfaced.

“His contract was up and the show has not performed,” ESPN said in a statement on its Web site. “We had previously decided to cancel the show and decided this morning to make it effective today.”

Irvin’s attorney, Larry Friedman of Dallas, said he was approached by the

woman’s lawyer shortly before Irvin was to appear on last season’s “Dancing With The Stars” competition.

The offer, according to Friedman: Irvin must pay the woman $1 million or a lawsuit would be filed to coincide with the Super Bowl, which is being played Sunday in Miami.

“I call it civil extortion: pay us or we’ll ruin your life,” Friedman said.

“Nothing happened. There was no encounter between this Jane Doe and Michael Irvin. The entire story is false, it’s bogus, it’s made up.”

Later in the day Friday, Friedman filed a countersuit against the woman claiming, among other things, civil extortion and defamation. The Associated Press typically does not name alleged sexual assault victims.

Caldwell says Freeney still improving

By TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Indianapolis coach Jim Caldwell sounded optimistic Friday that defensive end Dwight Freeney could play against the New Orleans Saints in Sunday’s Super Bowl.

“He’s trending in the right direction,” Caldwell said at his final pre-Super Bowl news conference.

Freeney has been receiv-

ing treatment several times daily since arriving in South Florida last week, trying to speed up the recovery after tearing a ligament in his right ankle during the Colts’ AFC championship game victory over the New York Jets.

Earlier this week, Freeney said he believes he’s improving. However, he still hasn’t practiced with the team.

“He’s getting better, but we’ll see,” Caldwell said.

“It’s still a day-to-day situation.”

Freeney isn’t the only injury concern for the Colts.

Offensive lineman Ryan Lilja has been bothered by a sore back and couldn’t practice Thursday, but Caldwell said the team expects one of Peyton Manning’s top blockers to be ready for the game.

It’s still wait-and-see on cornerback Jerraud Powers and his ailing left foot.

Caldwell revealed Fri-

day that Powers had “an internal fixation of a fractured foot,” which typically means a plate or screws were inserted to hold a fracture in place.

Still, Caldwell sounded upbeat.

“He feels that he’s going to be able to play,” he said.

“It’s just kind of up to the doctors ... if he’s able to run and run without any inhibitions whatsoever. He’s moving along and moving well and we’ll see.”

into the fourth.

“It took us too long to get started,” said Baskett.

“We struggled hitting any shots.”

Shawn Brown led

Northern with 11 points.

Martin and Cameron Butler each had 11.

The Vikings return to action Tuesday, when they host J.F. Webb.

a tremendous night with rebounds,” Miles said.

And Roanoke Rapids’ man in the middle, Martin, had a lot to do with that.

Martin made his ominous presence felt early on with a thunderous, twohanded put-back in the first quarter.

The Jackets led 11-5 after one period of play before out-scoring the Eagles 13-9 in the second to take a 24-14 halftime lead.

Martin showed his athleticism again in the second quarter, slamming in a missed 3-point attempt to make it 22-9.

Miles put Goode and Jonell Brown on Martin defensively because of their physical football backgrounds — but the Eagles coach said Goode and Brown’s teammates had trouble defending the big man in a man-to-man set.

“They couldn’t box him

out. He killed us with putbacks,” said Miles.

Miles also said the gameplan was to go right at the future Tar Heel, in an attempt to get to the free throw line. Only the fouls never came, and Martin played nearly every minute.

Jackets’ Courtland Price added 14 points to Martin’s 16.

Eagle seniors Hargrove and Goode led the Eagles with 11 points.

Aycock, Roberson and Brown, also seniors, each tallied six points. Brown added 12 rebounds.

Warren County honored a total of eight seniors, including Davonte Foster, Darrin Wilson and Javion Henderson.

The Eagles face Louisburg on Tuesday and Franklinton on Thursday.

Warren County entered Friday’s senior night contest playing some of its best basketball of the season, coming off of a blowout win over North Johnston Thursday.

But the Eagles (2-15, 2-7) couldn’t get past the roadblock of Martin and Roanoke Rapids’ 1-3-1 pressure defense.

“That was the bulk of our problems tonight — making bad passes instead of taking our time,” Miles said.

The Jackets came into the game with three Northern Carolina 2A Conference losses, but didn’t look the part of a team vying for the top spot in the conference toward the late stages of the game.

Roanoke Rapids led 43-28 entering the fourth quarter and jumped out to a 20-point lead in the final frame, courtesy of a Landon Greene 3-pointer in the opening 15 seconds.

The Jackets led 56-42 with just over two minutes to play when Warren County exploded on a run to trim the lead to eight with just over one minute to play.

The Eagles trailed by

13 when the game was delayed for about 10 minutes for a fight in the stands that spilled onto the court.

When play resumed, Warren County began its run with a free throw from Terrell Roberson.

Dion Hargove nailed a 3-pointer with 2:18 remaining to make it 5342, but Roanoke Rapids answered with a threepoint play.

Adam Aycock canned a 3-point jumper from the corner to make it 56-45 with 2:01 left.

Reginald Goode brought the gymnasium to life with a one-handed jam to cut the lead back to 58-47.

Goode led his team with 11 points and seven rebounds.

“That was by far the best game of the year for him,” said Miles. “He was very motivated to play tonight. If we could have had four or five more players play like that tonight, we could beat anybody.”

Warren County followed the dunk with a steal that led to a Hargrove threepoint play, making it 58-50 with 1:06 remaining.

But the Eagles couldn’t get any closer, despite three missed Jacket free throws down the stretch.

Miles said rebounding was another major factor in the loss.

“Guys weren’t boxing out. Last night (against North Johnston), we had

Jokinen scores winner for Canes BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Jussi Jokinen snapped a third-period tie and added an assist, and backup Manny Legace made 28 saves in the Carolina Hurricanes’ 4-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Friday night.

Jokinen’s slap shot from the top of the left circle beat goalie Ryan Miller with 3:17 to go to snap Carolina’s two-game losing streak.

Eric Staal had a goal and assist, and Aaron Ward and Tom Kostopoulos also scored for Carolina. The Hurricanes have won five of their last seven to improve to 20-30-7.

Legace started in place of Cam Ward, who was sent home for treatment on an upper-body injury.

Coach Paul Maurice said Ward, who played in 26 of the previous 27 games after returning from a leg laceration, stiffened up on the team’s flight from Calgary to Buffalo following a loss Wednesday night.

Appearing in just his fifth game in the last 28, Legace experienced a scare before the game

Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller makes a save on a shot by Carolina’s Ray Whitney during the second period of Friday’s game in Buffalo, N.Y. even started. In pregame warmups he was stunned

by Aaron Ward’s slap shot, and was down on the ice clutching his upper chest area for a couple of minutes before skating off.

Drew Stafford scored twice, Andrej Sekera had a goal and two assists, and Miller made 23 saves for the slumping Sabres (32-17-7), who have lost three straight in regulation for the first time this season.

The two teams com-

bined for five third-period goals, with Staal starting things by giving Carolina a 2-1 lead with his teamleading 20th of the season just 34 seconds into the period.

Stafford tied it 24 seconds later, then gave Buffalo a 3-2 lead 2 minutes later when his slap shot from the point bounced high in the air before ricocheting off Legace’s back and in.

Kostopoulos tied it at 3 with 11:37 left, tapping in a slick pass from Sergei

Samsonov Carolina struck first when Aaron Ward scored his first of the season with just under 7 minutes to go in the first period.

From the right circle, Ward snapped a shot that eluded Miller along the ice.

Sekera tied it for Buffalo with 1:25 to go in the first, scoring his second goal in two games with a slap shot from the point.

Earnhardt comfortable out in front

By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Here’s something you haven’t read in a while: Dale Earnhardt Jr. is in first place.

OK, so it was only two laps. And it was a rain-shortened practice at Daytona International Speedway — the place where Earnhardt is, well, kind of good.

Still, in a season in which Earnhardt is facing a new round of intensifying questions about his lack of on-track success, it’s better to be fast than slow even if it doesn’t count toward anything. Earnhardt led two of his Hendrick Motorsports teammates to the top of the speed chart in Friday’s abbreviated practice session, and it could be the first sign that he’s back on the right track after the worst season of his career.

“His heart really, really, really is in it,” said teammate Mark Martin. “He’s incredibly driven to have the success, and his team is behind it. I think you’ll see a spectacular year for him.”

Boy, does he need one.

NASCAR’s most popular driver had his confidence shattered in a winless 2009 season. He failed to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, his crew chief was fired midseason and he managed just five top-10 finishes all year.

His teammates, meanwhile, combined for 13 victories and swept the top three spots in the final season standings.

The lack of production increased the already-bright spotlight on Earnhardt,

At the halfway point of the season, he revealed a fear of not being strong enough to handle the strain of another trying season.

“I can’t have another year like this. I can’t mentally. I can’t physically. I don’t want to put the people around me through this,” Earnhardt admitted. “When we were really, really struggling, everybody in the family was upset.

Crying and carrying on. All the women were crying, the men we’re cussing. I’m serious.

“We can’t put anybody through this (stuff) again.

We’ve got to get this right.”

Team owner Rick Hendrick agreed, and made fixing Earnhardt’s No. 88 team the top offseason priority at Hendrick Motorsports.

It became all hands on deck as Hendrick leaned on Martin crew chief Alan

Gustafson to help Earnhardt’s team. Gustafson allowed two of his crew members — including his lead race engineer — to move over to the No. 88, and he agreed to work with Earnhardt crew chief Lance McGrew to create a partnership similar to the one Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon have used with smashing success.

Johnson, who displays the trophies from his four consecutive championships in his office above the shop floor where Earnhardt’s cars are built, believes Hendrick has executed the best possible plan for Earnhardt to succeed.

“It’s been tough on him.

I think his confidence has been beat down some, and I think the unification between the 88 and the 5 is very good for him,” Johnson said. “He looks up to Mark.

He seems to respond very well to folks that have been around the sport for a long time. Mark is more than

willing, especially if Junior engages himself and asks the right questions.”

But, Johnson cautioned, it’s going to take a willingness for Earnhardt to open up more to his teammates.

“He can’t do it on his own. He’s been more internal and to himself on cars, setups, kind of been on his own little island,” Johnson said. “If he really embraces the teammate standpoint and is right there alongside with Mark day in and day out, they’ll get it figured out.

“It may take changes in driving style, a lot of things that aren’t familiar to him, but he’s gonna have every opportunity and we’re making sure he does.”

Earnhardt disagreed with Johnson’s assessment.

“You know, I think I’m kind of shy at times, but I’ve never really been against really working together and trying to take two teams and be stronger,” he said.

road: If she ends up liking NASCAR, would she leave IndyCar? Patrick acknowledges that it’s possible. But for now, she says her top priority is her full-time ride in IndyCar, and she still wants to win an Indianapolis 500.

“It shouldn’t be viewed that this is the first step to moving on (to NASCAR), but I’m not mad if someone views it that way,” Patrick said. “I do want to see what it’s like.”

From a media circus standpoint, at least, Patrick’s arrival in stock car racing already is a raging success.

The Speed Channel, which is televising her

debut, will use its Web site to stream live audio of Patrick’s radio communication with her crew, along with video from her in-car cameras and a camera at the top of the grandstands that will focus on Patrick throughout the race.

A “Danicam,” perhaps?

After Friday’s qualifying session, Patrick was tailed by a train of cameras and microphones back to the garage area — a level of media attention not usually seen in ARCA, a lesser-known racing series similar to NASCAR. “Elvis show up or something?” said a rival team crew member.

PATRICK, from page 1B they are patient enough with her, I think she will be fine. It is going to be hard until it clicks.”

Patrick said in openwheel racing, help to new drivers is offered grudgingly — if at all.

“What a cool attitude to have,” Patrick said.

“They welcome you and offer help. And I instantly feel comfortable going to talk to them, whatever I have questions about, just because they made the really gracious step of coming to me first.”

In that spirit, Patrick lent her spare HANS safety collar to fellow female driver Leilani Munter.

Patrick is trying to fit

in, and doesn’t want to take on too much too fast.

Following Saturday’s race, she must decide if she wants to run next Saturday’s Nationwide series opener at Daytona.

“There’s been a lot of people, a lot of really good people, that have told me it’s not the right place to start,” Patrick said. “It’s a weird race. There’s so many Cup guys out there.

I don’t want to be out there and make a mistake and take someone out who’s running for a championship — or, God forbid, taking out one of the Cup guys and making them mad right away.”

Patrick could face a bigger decision down the

Mighty have fallen in 2010 College basketball bluebloods taking lumps

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — Listening to Rick Pitino talk about playing Connecticut sounded awfully familiar to Edgar Sosa. If he closed his eyes, the Louisville guard could almost imagine that it was last spring and all of college basketball was watching his team.

“Coach told us, ’Play this game like this game is to get to the Final Four,”’ Sosa recalled Monday night. “That’s how bad we needed it.”

Except that this was early February, not late March, and the Cardinals — a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament a year ago — were already in must-win mode. Their 82-69 victory over the Huskies gave them a winning record in the Big East and improved them to a modest 14-8 overall.

A similar story is unfolding at UConn (13-9) and North Carolina (13-9), putting three of the game’s bluest blue bloods in danger of missing the NCAA field one year after finding their names on the top lines of office brackets everywhere. Barring some remarkable runs the rest of the season or through their league tournaments, all three could be lending the NIT some serious star power.

“We have to play our way into it,” Pitino said of the NCAA tournament, lamenting his team’s many close calls. “We played Villanova to the wire, we played Pitt to the wire and then some, and (West Virginia) and then some.

I feel like killing myself right now.”

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Since the NCAA tournament began seeding teams in 1979, there’s never been a time when three No. 1s failed to make the field the following year, according to STATS LLC. Only twice has it happened with two programs: Ohio State and Florida in 2008, and Temple and Purdue in 1989.

It would be even more stunning for three programs that have combined for 105 appearances and nine tournament championships. The last time the Cardinals, Huskies and Tar Heels failed to make the field in the same year was 1973.

“None of those three have a better than 50 percent chance, I don’t think,” said Joe Lunardi, who has made projecting who gets into the tournament a cottage industry.

“We’re probably not

talking about Creighton and St. Mary’s and San Diego State on Selection Sunday,” Lunardi added, “we’re going to be talking about these guys.”

There are several reasons for their collective downfall, from the indefinite medical leave of UConn coach Jim Calhoun to a few bad bounces and brutal schedules. But the biggest culprit may be that it’s simply more difficult to stockpile talent.

In the 1960s and ’70s, when UCLA coach John Wooden was winning national championships by the fistful, he could count on players like Bill Walton to stick around four years.

Even as recently as the early 1990s, when Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski had a senior in Grant Hill, the best players rarely left early for the pros.

Now, the nation’s best programs are forced into a balancing act every season, trying to judge when players might leave and what holes will need to be filled.

Pitino lost athletic 6-foot-10 forward Earl Clark a year early, while UConn lost the nation’s most intimidating big man in 7-3 Hasheem Thabeet.

The Tar Heels and coach Roy Williams may have been the hardest hit, watching Wayne Ellington and Ty Lawson — the nation’s premier point guard — skip their senior seasons to join Tyler Hansbrough in the NBA. “We’ve had a lot more team meetings,” North Carolina guard Larry Drew II admitted Wednesday. “It’s tough. It can be pretty depressing, but it all comes with the territory.”

It doesn’t help that talent is spread more evenly across the college landscape.

Waiting for the chance to wear Carolina blue may no longer appeal as much to a prospect who could play right away at one of the other 346 schools in Division I hoops this season.

The rise of the mid-majors two decades ago has been followed by the rise of the low-majors, and the name across the front of the jersey means less than ever before.

Just ask Cornell, which dumped Alabama and gave scares to Syracuse and Kansas.

Or better yet, ask Louisville, which was given a pair of black eyes

by Charlotte and Western Carolina in December.

Both of those mid-majors are loaded with talent and could find themselves taking up real estate that once belonged to marquee names when the NCAA bracket is revealed.

God loves even the runt of the litter

Faith

u Special Services, 3C u Musical Programs, 3C u News and Notes, 3C u Weekly Programs & Services, 4C

“He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,” Ephesians 1:5 God amazes me at how many different ways he can speak to us. He can even use a puppy. Our two children had fallen in love with a family member’s chihuahua.

They liked the dog’s size and his playfulness. After seeing how much they loved the little chihuahua, my wife and I decided to surprise the kids with one of their own.

I looked Rev. Eddie high and low for one.

Nutt I scanned Middleburg newspapers Baptist and the Internet. After several weeks, I found a litter in Wilson. The ad had started the day before I found it. She had already sold three of the five puppies in the litter. I told her that I would be there first thing the next morning.

When I arrived, she still had two left. I picked a graycolored female. We couldn’t help but name her Smokey.

Before I paid for the pup, I asked the breeder several questions about the dog and her health. Then I asked the question that God would use to teach me a Biblical truth. I asked, “Is she the runt of the litter?” It really didn’t matter to me, but I was just curious.

She replied, “No, the runt was the first one to be adopted into a new family.”

I paid the lady for the dog and started my drive home. I began to think about her reply to my last question. I thought to myself, “That’s odd — usually the runt is the last to be wanted. Most people want a strong, well-built dog.”

When people raise pigs, sometimes they will kill the runt so that the healthier piglets will have more milk to nurse. The runts generally aren’t wanted. They are sometimes the last to find homes and love.

But you know something, God always picks the runts of this world. He picks those of us that the world has shunned. He picks those that aren’t popular or mega-rich.

He picks those that get left off the kickball team at school, because no one picked them.

He picks those whose families have abandoned them.

He welcomes the husband or wife that has been told by a spouse that they no longer have room in their heart for them. He chooses those that have been told that they are no longer needed at their jobs.

He adopts those of us that feel useless, maybe because of being too young or too old. He selects the ones that never get invited to the community parties or are left out of the “inner circle” at work or school.

Beloved, God has chosen you! Life may have left you feeling unloved or unwanted, but trust me, God loves you.

He welcomes those that have been shunned at work, school or home. He brings those, through their faith in Christ, home with Him. Our heavenly father has room for you, too. If you ever find yourself feeling like the runt of the litter, remember God loves you.

Super Sunday is about more than football on ‘Faith Bowl’ JAY LINDSAY Associated Press Writer

BOSTON (AP) — It’s tied by its name and air date to Super Bowl Sunday, but the Catholic “Faith Bowl” being broadcast nationwide has no link to football, unless you count talk about the saints.

The third annual Faith Bowl will run just before and after the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints meet to settle Super Bowl XLIV on Sunday.

There’s no hype or Hail Mary passes, just former major league All-Star Mike Piazza and current pro Mike Sweeney talking about faith and family in a roundtable discussion hosted by former Minnesota Twins reliever Bobby Keppel.

Hollywood-based Family Theater Productions created the show, and its aim is simple, said the Rev. Willy Raymond, the Catholic company’s national director — to use high-profile Catholics to reach men and young people with a faith message at a time when they gather in hordes around the tube.

“It’s no secret if you go into any church on Sunday morning, there are a lot of men who are missing — and especially older people, rather than younger people,” Raymond said. “The audience that’s missing is the audience we are going after with this.”

The Faith Bowl was born after Family Theater began gathering Catholic athletes and actors for an annual retreat at the Franciscan order’s Serra Retreat Center in Malibu, Calif. It struck them that a show highlighting the athletes’ faith on Super Bowl Sunday would be great outreach, Raymond said.

Faith Bowl III was taped in November at the end of this year’s retreat.

Professional athletes live in a hyper-reality of big temptations, but Piazza said the basic struggles are the same as any Faith Bowl viewer. Catholicism can offer perspective and a peace that’s tough to find, he said.

Piazza, who is married with two young daughters, said that at the start of his career, he had a “ ‘I-wanted-to-be-a-rock-star’ type of mentality, and I realized once I got there that it was very empty at times ... I just have never been as happy as I have being a good husband and father.”

Raymond said no one is pretending the Faith Bowlers have all the answers just because they have celebrity.

“These guys are not theologians,” he said. “They’re in the struggle.

They’re doing the best they can, and they’re good examples of guys that have made it in one world and still are serious about trying to be disciples of Christ and good people, good men.”

Among the outlets carrying the Faith Bowl are Boston-based CatholicTV, which says it’s piped into five to six million homes via various cable providers. Another national Catholic broadcaster, Eternal Word Television Network, is also carrying the program.

No one is measuring the show’s ratings, so it will be impossible to know whether it’s a hit or fails to outdraw an average half-hour of local cable access TV. Piazza said his hopes for the Faith Bowl are modest.

“To me, if there’s just one person out there who sees this, and says, ‘Hey, I saw Mike, and I thought about it, and went back (to church),’ that’s pretty much all I need,” he said.

Many faiths find reason to believe in Saints JANET McCONNAUGHEY Associated Press Writer

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Faith. Struggle. Hope. Abiding love. In synagogues and churches across New Orleans, prayers are flavored by the Saints’ march to the Super Bowl, transcending spiritual differences with the team’s rousing “Who Dat!” cheer.

Churches are scurrying to change their Sunday services to avoid conflict with the big game. Leaders are finding sermons in the team’s journey. Even a Voodoo priestess is pulling for the team in black and gold.

Rabbi Robert (Bob) Loewy taught the “Who Dat!” cheer in Hebrew to his Congregation Gates of Prayer before the Saints defeated the Minnesota Vikings in the National Football Conference championship game.

In English, it’s “Who dat say they gonna beat them Saints! Who dat!

Who dat!”

Loewy’s translation: “Mi zeh omer yakhvosh et hatsaddikim! Mi zeh! Mi zeh!”

It’s done “with a wink and a nod toward tradition, but also with joyful expression following years of suffering,” he told the congregation.

The outpouring reflects the Saints’ 43 years in the NFL wilderness before making it to the promised land of the Super Bowl. The franchise was awarded on All Saints Day in 1966 and the name is associated with the old-time Christian hymn.

But the team’s long history of futility — its first winning season didn’t come until 1987, the year Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass in the Superdome — left fans often wondering just whose side the deity of their choosing was on.

With the Saints finally playing in a Super Bowl, “it’s ripe material” for religious illustration, Loewy said. He recently contrasted the leadership styles of Saints coach Sean Payton and Indianapolis Colts coach Jim Caldwell in a class about the Book of Exodus and Moses’ character and leadership.

Churches in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans were asked to let the archdiocese know their plans for Mass on Feb. 7, spokeswoman Sarah Comiskey McDonald said. Many are moving or canceling evening Mass.

Among those churches is Our Lady of Guadeloupe near the French Quarter, fittingly home of a shrine to the patron saint of hopeless causes, St. Jude.

“St. Jude’s is very, very, very much into the Saints,” said Ava Kay Jones, a Voodoo and Yoruba priestess who also sings in the St. Jude’s choir for Sunday evening mass. In New Orleans, as in Haiti, some professed Christians still borrow elements of African-influenced traditions like Voodoo.

Jones has a special tie to the Saints — in a 2000 playoff game against the Rams, she paraded around the Superdome in her priestess gear. At a crucial point in the game, she was caught on camera kissing a live snake as

Rams wide receiver Az-Zahir Hakim muffed the punt, the Saints recovered and went on to win their first-ever playoff game.

Jones said she’s not planning Voodoo rituals on Sunday, just prayers: “Those are what move heaven and earth — the intense prayers.”

Roman Catholic Archbishop Gregory Aymond said he sees the Saints and team owner Tom Benson as symbols of perseverance.

WHO DAT, from page 1C erous, and it has borne fruit,” he said.

“We definitely see a lot of symbolism,” McDonald said. “There’s definitely a Saints analogy not just for the city but the faith, and Christianity, and being a symbol of faith and hope and an unending, enduring, unconditional love,” she said.

Traditional vestments are being swapped out for the black

and gold at the pulpit by the Rev. David Crosby, senior pastor of First Baptist Church, where Saints fullback Heath Evans is a member, and Bishop Lester Love of Greater Antioch Full Gospel Baptist Church.

Love gave a “Who dat” sermon Jan. 30 at Greater Antioch, using a verse from the Book of Romans: “If God be for us, who can be against us?”

In the NFC championship, Minnesota quarterback Bret Favre “made the only play he shouldn’t have made, where we can win the football game,” and Saints kicker Garrett Hartley kicked a 40-yeard field goal to send the Saints to their first Super Bowl, Love said.

“I preached the message ...

Who this? Who that? Who can do this against you? I preached ‘Who that?’ When it’s your time,

you can’t lose,” Love said.

Even a faith that doesn’t name saints is making room for the Saints. Loewy, the rabbi, said his one problem translating the “Who Dat!” chant was to translate “Saints.”

“An Israeli-born member suggested that I simply call them the ‘Saintim,’ since that is what modern Hebrew often does with words that can not be translated,”

he said. “I prefer to link the idea of Saints, clearly coming from the Christian tradition, with Tsaddikim, righteous ones, coming from our tradition.”

And the team’s fight song?

The rhythm of one Hebrew hymn, “Adon Olam” (“Eternal God”) can fit any melody, he said.

“We, of course, have been singing it to ‘When the Saints Go Marching In.’”

Sudoku

Today’s answer

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19): Budget and spend wisely and it will lead to good fortune and opportunities in the future. Be smart about your plans and don’t venture over and above what you can handle emotionally, financially or professionally. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If someone tries to make you feel small or avoids telling you the truth, move on quickly. Giving in to someone who does not have your best interests at heart will slow down any attempt you make to get ahead. Cut old ties and make new ones. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Act fast and spare yourself the grief of losing out. The ability to do the unexpected and to stay ahead of the competition will lead you to victory. Love is apparent but likely to have unwanted attachments.

3 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take control of your life and your future by putting more into your talents and skills. You have more to offer than you realize, so put your talents to work. You will achieve the peace and happiness you are constantly in search of.

5 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Think before you do something you may regret. Taking on too much or overdoing, overspending or overindulging will lead to heartache and setbacks. Stay busy and avoid meddling or being manipulated. 2 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may not like the idea of change but, in this case, it will bring about an interesting situation that you don’t want to miss. An unexpected alteration in your living conditions will lead to opportuni-

ties. Embrace the new. 4 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Snap decisions are not always easy for you to make but, this time, they will be to your benefit. A chance to engage in an interesting partnership with someone you meet will lead to a new beginning.

Rely on your imagination. 4 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Holding on to the past or remaining in the same location are not to your benefit. A fresh new start may be daunting at first but, it won’t take long to see the possibilities available. Travel will result in greater opportunities. 3 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may have to shake things up a bit if you want to get anything done. Showing an effort will help you avoid a sudden misfortune.

Protect your future by ensuring that your reputation is based on positive hard work and consistency. 3 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Learn from your mistakes or prepare to repeat the lesson. A burden or responsibility will be sent your way. How you handle it will be a sign of what’s to come.

Do not lose sight of your own goals. 4 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be careful not to let someone take advantage of your kindness and generosity. Demand to be treated equally. A change in your lifestyle will ensure you are treated fairly.

Get rid of habits that hold you back. 2 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Focus on moneymaking deals.

Invest in something you believe in that is unique and offers a service that is in demand. Don’t be afraid to branch out in an altogether new direction. 5 stars
