Teacher found dead in vehicle
Driver of vehicle exchanged shots with security guard By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer
Raleigh police on Monday continued the investigation into the shooting death of a Henderson man found Sunday morning in a parked car near a store. The 23-year-old victim, Sedrick Williams, was pronounced dead after police officers arrived around 3 a.m. at a convenience store in the 3100 block of Capital Boulevard. Jim Sughrue, a spokesman for the police department, said the car’s driver, 33-year-old Tobarus Oneal Alston of Henderson, exchanged gunfire with a security guard outside a nightclub. Alston was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill for his role in exchanging gunfire with the security guard, Alston Shontavius Levon Brown, 35, outside Pericos nightclub at 2414 Paula St. Investigators said Brown had asked Alston and Williams to leave the premises of Pericos. The two Henderson men entered the vehicle, which then stopped on the street in front of the nightclub. Alston got out of the vehicle and exchanged gun shots with Brown. It was unclear how Williams was shot or what role he had in the exchange. Neither security guards, patrons nor employees called 911 concerning what occurred at Pericos. Alston was also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Police said the Wake County District Attorney’s office will review the findings of detectives concerning Brown’s actions in relation to the shooting. Anyone with information about the occurrences at the nightclub is being asked to call the Raleigh Police Department’s detective division at 919-996-3555.

Police: Suicide probable cause of death; toxic chemicals found near body By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer
OXFORD — A 35-year-old Vance County educator was found dead over the weekend in a car behind her home at Rollingwood subdivision and with a noxious mix of chemicals on a seat of the vehicle. The body of Phillita Harris, of 107 Hazelwood Court, was taken to the N.C.
Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Chapel Hill for an autopsy. “We are considering this a suspicious death investigation, currently, with suicide the probable cause,” Oxford Police Chief John Wolford said. Phillita Harris had taught second grade at Dabney Elementary School. She had been on medical leave since March 11, 2009. “And of course we’re saddened by the
news,” said Terri Hedrick, public information officer for Vance County Schools. Harris was the daughter of Barbara Harris, who retired from serving as principal of West Oxford Elementary School. Officers received the call shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday to Rollingwood, which is off N.C. 96 and south of Interstate 85. They found Phillita Harris with a Please see DEATH, page 3A

Moseley and Mary Gregory Greene stood across from the Harris residence Monday as cleanup crews were preparing to go to work. “I, too, was shocked about the situation here,” said Greene, who is a former president of the neighborhood association. “And we all in the community are very much concerned. It’s unbelievable what has happened,” Greene said.
SHERIFF,
their concerns on a regular basis. He works with surrounding counties to monitor gang activity and wants to educate residents about gangs that are coming into the county. His department works closely with the State Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms to keep track of potential criminal activity, Williams said. Suggs is running for sheriff in the Republican primary. Since he has no opponent in that primary, he appears to be guaranteed a shot at the winner of the Democratic primary when the general election is held in the fall. Suggs, 53, grew up in Roanoke Rapids and attended the public schools there. He has over 25 years of law enforcement experience. He is currently chief of police in Littleton, a position he has held for four years. Previous positions were with the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office, the Dare County Sheriff’s Office, the Scotland Neck Police Department and the Warren County Sheriff’s Office. He has worked as an investigator, a patrol deputy, a detective sergeant and undercover drug agent. Suggs has received more than 3,500 hours of training. He received the
general instructor certification to teach basic law enforcement training from the North Carolina Criminal Justice Academy. During his career, he has worked cooperatively with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau Investigations and Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. He wrote grant proposals that resulted in awards totaling $266,500 to the organizations he represented, reducing the need of tax funds for those organizations to accomplish their purposes. Suggs has been married to Jean for 25 years. They live in the Littleton area of Warren County. The couple has seven grown children and one who still lives at home and attends Warren County Middle School. They have 13 grandchildren. Suggs hopes to restructure the sheriff’s department into a Patrol Division and a Criminal Investigation Division/ Drug Unit. He would put a captain in charge of each division, break the county into sections for quicker response to complaints, and facilitate the sharing of information between the divisions.

COBB,
FROM PAGE 1A out: “If the good Lord would take me now and bring her back, I would say ‘Please, Lord, do it!’” The judge announced that he found “no mitigating circumstances.” Cobb was defended by Attorney Jerry Stainback. He told Manning that several family members and other witnesses testifying in the proceedings had painted a picture of Cobb as a devoted son who cared deeply for his mother. Stainback said they described Margaret Cobb as a strong-willed, former licensed practical nurse who had been in charge of her own treatment at the house she shared with the three defendants at 1541 Lynn Ave. Cobb and other relatives had told the judge that the elderly woman had suffered for years from rheumatoid arthritis which caused deformities and kept her from caring for herself. Several character witnesses also spoke favorably of Cobb when they were on the stand. There was testimony that the defendant had made a call to 911 to have his mother transported to Maria Parham Medical Center. Police Lt. S.T. Vaugn said he saw maggots and roaches crawling on Margaret Cobb, who had bedsores. Bryant Williams, a paramedic with Vance County EMS, said he saw roaches and bedsores on Margaret Cobb when she was lying in her bed. Dr. James Goodwin, a Vance County medical examiner, testified that he considered infection to have been the cause of death. The autopsy was performed by Dr. John Butts, the chief state medical examiner. He reported that infection was the major cause of death.

Dems start countdown toward health care vote WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; House Democrats triggered the countdown Monday for the climactic vote on President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiercely contested remake of the health care system, even though the legislation remained incomplete and lacked the votes needed to pass. Obama expressed optimism Congress would approve his call for affordable and nearly universal coverage as he pitched his plan on a trip to Ohio, and congressional leaders showed signs of progress in winning antiabortion Democrats whose votes are pivotal. At the same time, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., among the billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sharpest opponents, said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;less confidentâ&#x20AC;? than before that it could be stopped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to be remarkable people not to fall under the kind of pressure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be under,â&#x20AC;? he said of rank-and-file Democrats. Some of the pressure was aimed at Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, who flew aboard Air Force One with President Barack Obama during the day, then walked into a senior citizen center with the chief executive in time to hear a voice from the audience yell out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vote yes.â&#x20AC;? A smiling Obama turned to the liberal lawmaker and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you hear that, Dennis?â&#x20AC;? Then, turning back to the audience, he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go ahead, say that again.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vote yes!â&#x20AC;? came back the reply. Kucinich, who said later he remains uncommitted, is one of 37 Democrats currently in the House who voted against Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislation when it cleared the House last fall. In addition, the White
House is laboring to hold the support of several other Democrats who voted for the earlier bill, but only after first supporting strict antiabortion limits that would be altered the second time around.
Toyota dismisses account of runaway Prius SAN DIEGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Toyota Motor Corp. dismissed the story of a man who claimed his Prius sped out of control on the California freeway, saying Monday that its own tests found the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gas pedal and backup safety system were working just fine. The automaker stopped short of saying James Sikes had staged a hoax last week but said his account did not square with a series of tests it conducted on the gas-electric hybrid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have no opinion on his account, what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been saying, other than that the scenario is not consistent with the technical findings,â&#x20AC;? spokesman Mike Michels told a press conference. The episode March 8 was among the highestprofile headaches Toyota has suffered in recent months. It recalled more than 8 million cars and trucks worldwide because gas pedals can become stuck in the down position or be snagged by floor
mats. Dozens of Toyota drivers have reported problems even after their cars were supposedly fixed.
Edwards mistress: Still in love, living â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;truthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The mistress of former presidential candidate John Edwards says she is helping him live â&#x20AC;&#x153;a life of truthâ&#x20AC;? and the two remain in love even after their affair helped trigger his downfall from the pinnacle of U.S. politics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone talks about how Johnny has fallen from grace,â&#x20AC;? Rielle Hunter told GQ magazine in an interview released Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In reality, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fallen to grace.â&#x20AC;? In her first public comments since she became known as Edwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; other woman in 2008, Hunter didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide any details of their status but said Edwards is a great father who wants to be there fulltime for their daughter, now 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know he loves me. I have never had any doubt at all about that,â&#x20AC;? Hunter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love each other very much. And that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed, and I believe that will be till death do us part.â&#x20AC;? Hunter also posed for photos for GQ that show her on a bed, barelegged in a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s white dress shirt and a pearl necklace.

These kids look like nothing could touch them, but childhood friends, Gene and Cole, faced an emergency situation when their dirt bikes collided. Severely injured, they needed help right away. They were immediately rushed to granville medical center. Edward Bartels, director of emergency services, and his team of physicians and nurses were ready to help. The injuries were serious, but with the help of GHS Emergency Services, both boys have fully recovered. Now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back doing what they enjoy, racing dirt bikes.

Daily Meditation Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently: 1 Peter 1:22
Our Opinion
Hopefully, new EDC search will be fruitful The search continues. County Manager Jerry Ayscue said last week that 12 new individuals have applied for the vacant Economic Development Commission director position. Ayscue, along with five other panel members, is expected to begin screening these applicants this week. The panel will interview the finalists and Ayscue will decide which one, if any of them, is fit to serve in the position that Benny Finch vacated in December of 2008. Following Finch’s retirement, 32 applied for the job, but none apparently made the grade. One of those applicants, James “Jim” R. Hinkle, was hired as the interim director. Hinkle has served as director since then. Hopefully, round 2 of the search will yield different results. While we’re happy to see that Ayscue and the panel are looking for the right candidate, time is of the essence. The EDC has now gone almost 15 months without a full-time director. During that time, there have been very few new businesses locating in Henderson and Vance County. The much-heralded paint company does plan to open in Henderson, but the EDC seems to have had little involvement in helping that company locate here. While the EDC was present for the official announcement, Curtis White and City Councilman Michael Inscoe appear to be the reason the company plans to set up shop in Henderson. During these tough economic times, Henderson and Vance County should be making every effort to find businesses and jobs for the area. Going over a year without a full-time EDC director is not making every effort, not even close. Danny Wright, chairman of the Board of Commissioners, said last week that “we have an excellent interim director in Jim Hinkle. We’re making progress under his leadership.” What progress? Where are the businesses? Where are the jobs? Hinkle may be qualified for the interim position, but what incentive does he have to develop and implement any long-range plans for the EDC? He knows as soon as a full-time director is found, he will be out of a job. Henderson and Vance County can’t afford to go any longer without a full-time director. Every day that passes without someone in that position is a wasted opportunity to bring businesses, jobs and hope to an area in desperate need of all three. Hopefully, those in charge of replacing Finch understand that.

Sunshine Week: Make secrecy the exception Editor’s Note: Sunshine Week is a national initiative to open a dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information. The following editorial appeared in the Atlanta JournalConstitution. “Sunshine is the best disinfectant,” Louis Brandeis, U.S. Supreme Court Justice. The esteemed Justice Brandeis was ahead of his time. His observation fits exceptionally well with national Sunshine Week, which is this week. The annual event, launched in 2005, champions and celebrates openness in government. We can only be fully informed citizens and participants in democracy when we’re tuned in to what’s going on within government at all levels. Involved citizens ensure that their government works most effectively toward the common good. Open government, with its inner workings transparent and accessible to all, is and should forever be part of the bedrock core of this republic’s centuries-old experiment with representative government. Government conducted be-
fore the people is essential to maintaining and safeguarding the freedoms and liberty that we all cherish. This nation’s journalists, ever mindful of the First Amendment’s protection of the press, have been understandably champions of Sunshine Week. Thanks to Georgia’s Open Records Act, for example, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution unearthed suspicious scores on the 2009 Criterion-Referenced Competency Test. That led to a large-scale state investigation of testing. Other open records requests by the AJC led to reports on costly squandering of taxpayer money and questionable financial dealings by public officials. Yet we also recognize there are instances when lawful access to records conflict
with personal privacy. Such a case arose recently when a writer for Hustler magazine requested crime-scene photos of Meredith Emerson’s brutal death at the hands of her convicted murderer, Gary Michael Hilton. While examining crimescene photos can help a reporter — or a juror — understand the evidence of the crime, there is and can be no news value to publishing or reproducing explicit photos of Emerson. Technology changes will require careful thinking of how to make sure our society and government remain open while preventing the very occasional gross misuse of public information. Access to open records is not just a concern for journalists. Private citizens are also active in exercising their right to open government. According to the American Society of News Editors, which leads the week’s efforts, “Participants include ... civic groups, libraries, nonprofits, schools and others interested in the public’s right to know.” Securing a widespread base of support for governmental transparency is necessary in order to keep the light
of public inquiry focused on halls of power. ASNE says, “Sunshine Week is about the public’s right to know what its government is doing, and why. Sunshine Week seeks to enlighten and empower people to play an active role in their government at all levels, and to give them access to information that makes their lives better and their communities stronger.” Keeping governance before the public eye has always been important, but never more important than during this present, perilous time for the United States and the world. Yes, certain government business should be conducted outside of public earshot. Secrecy should be the rare exception, rather than the rule. To do otherwise is to tempt Americans with a false sense of security and well-being as our challenges and troubles are kept secreted away from public scrutiny. True security, freedom and well-being comes from a rich and public debate and governmental processes that keep the people’s business before the people.
The big down under is small back home SYDNEY, Australia — Tell me if you’ve heard this one. A blonde swimsuit model gets involved with a sports superstar. They are photographed everywhere — two stunning, physically fit young specimens. In time, they announce their engagement. Then a photograph appears of the model. She is nude in a shower. Someone else’s shower. A football player’s shower. A married football player’s shower. Her fiance races to her side. In doing so, he abandons his team in the middle of a major contest. His country goes wild. Some demand that he be removed from the team altogether. Others insist that love must conquer all. After days of breathless controversy, the couple release a statement saying their engagement is off. They ask that the media “respect their privacy during this difficult time.” OK. Tell me who this is. A story that’s so big ... If you said Tiger Woods — close, but wrong controversy. If you said David Beckham, close, but wrong sport. And if you said, “I have no
idea; I haven’t heard anything about a story like that” — well, you are about to prove my point. Here in Australia, the above story is beyond big. It is everywhere. It is Brad and AngeMitch lina meet Albom Tiger and Tribune Media Services
Erin with a dash of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. It is across the front of every newspaper. It is the lead story on the TV news. The start-crossed couple is Michael Clarke and Lara Bingle. She appears on magazine covers, in bikinis, and on a TV ice skating competition. And he is a major star on the Australian cricket team. Yep. Cricket. Now, to most Americans, the best known name in cricket is Jiminy. So you may laugh at the very idea that anything involving men, wickets and tea sandwiches could be a controversy. And that is my point. They
say the world is shrinking. They say everything is global. But they also say “all news is local.” And when it comes to making an absolute, nonsensical, lose-your-mind fuss over nothing — that, apparently, is the truest statement of all. A really messy affair So this Cricket Controversy has been THE water cooler conversation here. Clarke was accused of letting his country down by racing off before an ever-important test against ... New Zealand! And Bingle was derided as the hussy who couldn’t keep her clothes on and who then sold her story for big bucks to a magazine. (Of course, the football player who took her photo with his cell phone and later released it to the world is not exactly Prince Charming in this story, but then football here isn’t the same as football back home, and who wants to get into all that detail?) In the end, after several days of lovers’ torture, Clarke and Bingle released their statement, and he presumably asked for the keys back to his $6 million apartment. (I know it is $6 million
because they never stop telling you, although that is $6 million Australian, not American, and who wants to get into all that detail?) Clarke has returned to his mates for their very important match against New Zealand, while Bingle was last seen laughing at a shopping mall. And it all means nothing in the U.S. Which makes me wonder about things like Kobe Bryant’s private life, Brett Favre’s retirement, Derek Jeter’s dating habits or the brief-but-oft-photographed Sergei Fedorov and Anna Kornikova. Or, for that matter, the sexual proclivities of a New York congressman. Doesn’t it give you pause that for all the newsprint, radio talk, TV footage and heated barbershop conversation, whatever celebrity controversy seems like the biggest story on the planet, someplace, halfway around the world, nobody gives a hoot? Cricket? Swimsuit model? Honestly. I mean. It’s not like they’re A-Rod and Kate. Wait a minute.... Someone down here just said, “Who?”

DEAR ABBY: I have been involved with “Rich” for 4 1/2 years. We are now engaged. In the beginning, everything was great. What I didn’t know was that Rich had a baby on the way. I learned about it from a young woman who knocked on our door nine months later. Rich said he was sorry and that he’d handle it. I knew the situation would be hard to accept, but suppressed my feelings like I always do instead of being honest about it. Now this woman comes over whenever she wants. If she’s angry about something, she’ll say, “I don’t want my baby around HER,” meaning me. She has friends who work with me, and she has spread lies about me there. She has also called my house on several occasions and has been rude and nasty. I have tried to deal with this, but Rich’s infidelity and his having a child with another woman still hurts like it happened yesterday — and the child is now 3. Can you help me? — NOT MOVING ON IN VIRGINIA DEAR NOT MOVING ON: I’ll try. Before things evolve any further, don’t you think that it’s time to be open and honest? You have unresolved anger issues to deal with, and rightfully so. That’s why I strongly advise you and your fiance to start premarital and couples counseling NOW. Did Rich know he had gotten a girl pregnant before she knocked on the door and told you? If so, then what other information might he also have forgotten to mention? And why would he tolerate the abusive behavior that the baby’s mama is dishing out to you? If you want to be treated with the respect you deserve, you must assert yourself. And if you don’t get it, then I advise you to ditch Rich.

DEAR ABBY: I return to my hometown at least twice a year to visit my large extended family. When I do, I have tried to make time for my oldest friend, “Judith,” whom I have known since kindergarten. In the past we have gotten together for a few hours here and there — for dinner, coffee or whatever. She’s great company, and we have fun together. I’d like to spend more time with Judith, but Mom and Dad are close to 90 and there are many Dear other Abby relatives Universal Press on my and my husSyndicate band’s side to see, which takes up most of our time. Years ago, we tried to see all our friends, but more recently we have limited it to Judith and her husband and occasionally include a mutual friend. Judith just e-mailed me telling me to “have a nice life” because if we were “truly” friends, I’d make more time with her. She won’t reply to my e-mails or return my calls. I respect her feelings, but feel pressured by the time constraints of our brief visits home. Judith has no children, a single brother and a married brother with whom she recently reunited. I feel like I have committed some kind of crime. I think if she was a true friend, she’d understand my predicament. Please help. — DEEPLY HURT IN ARIZONA DEAR HURT: Your pal Judith doesn’t appear to have matured much since kindergarten. Her behavior is petulant, immature and self-centered. Although you care for her, you cannot shirk your family obligations in order to placate her. If Judith can’t appreciate that you have placed your family first, it’s

Soldier acquitted in deaths faces military trial WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — A soldier acquitted of killing a mother and two of her young daughters in North Carolina about 25 years ago is now going on trial in military court after prosecutors say new DNA tests link him to the crimes. Master Sgt. Timothy Hennis, 51, is charged with premeditated murder in the May 1985 stabbing deaths of Kathryn Eastburn and two of her daughters — 5-yearold Kara Sue and 3-year-old Erin Nicole. Opening statements in the court-martial are set for Wednesday and the death penalty trial could last up to two months, featuring 100 or more witnesses. Hennis couldn’t be tried again in civilian court so he was charged by the military, which can pursue Hennis the case because its court system is a different jurisdiction. Hennis retired from the Army in 2004 but was recalled to active duty to face charges. Hennis, who had adopted the Eastburns’ dog several days before the killings, was arrested four days after the bodies were found when a witness who reported seeing someone in the Eastburns’ driveway late at night picked him out of a photo lineup. Eastburn’s husband, Air Force Capt. Gary Eastburn, was in Alabama at squadron officers training school at the time of the stabbings. The Eastburns’ 22-monthold daughter, Jana, was at the home but was left unharmed in her crib. Hennis, then an Army sergeant, was convicted in 1986 of the killings in civilian court and sentenced to death, but the state Supreme Court gave him a new trial, in part because the justices said the evidence was weak. Jurors acquitted Hennis in 1989, saying then that it was a quick decision for many because prosecutors couldn’t prove Hennis was inside the house at the time of the slayings. The case spawned a 1993 book entitled “Innocent Victims,” which was followed by a cable television miniseries. Hennis retired from the military in 2004 and was living in Lakewood, Wash., when a detective reviewing the case said he uncovered DNA evidence that couldn’t be tested in the mid-1980s. The new evidence was given to Army investigators, who recalled Hennis to active duty in 2006 and brought him back to Fort Bragg. The DNA evidence was collected from a rape kit. Hennis was also acquitted of rape, but doesn’t face that charge because too much time has passed since that alleged crime occurred. Military prosecutors and Hennis’ attorney Frank Spinner have refused to talk to the media about the case, but Spinner claimed in preliminary hearings that the DNA evidence is unreliable because it was collected 25 years ago and has not been properly handled. Spinner has also challenged the military’s jurisdiction in federal court, but a federal judge has asked for more information in the case and has yet to issue a ruling.

SUNSHINE WEEK
Agencies lag in following openness order WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is having difficulty getting all federal agencies to follow his order to deliver “a new era of open government,” according to a study of how they administer the Freedom of Information Act. The National Security Archive, a private group that publishes declassified government information and uses the act and lawsuits to pry out official records, found a decidedly mixed record in an audit of how 90 agencies responded to Obama directives to open more records, and the guidelines and training sessions that followed from the Justice Department. Rescinding a Bush policy of defending any legal reason to withhold information, Obama ordered agencies to release any information whose disclosure wasn’t prohibited by law or wouldn’t cause foreseeable harm. The audit was released Sunday, the first day of Sunshine Week, an annual observance by journalism organizations to promote open government and freedom of information. The Obama administration “has clearly stated a new policy direction for open government but has not conquered the challenge of communicating and enforcing that message throughout the executive branch,” the report concluded. Among the findings the archive found most troubling were:
Storm darkens, floods much of Northeast
•Five agencies reported releasing less and withholding more information during the 2009 budget year, which includes the first nine months of the Obama administration, than they did the previous year. •35 of the 90 agencies told the auditors they had no records of putting in place the new Obama FOIA policies. The oldest pending request the auditors found is approaching 18 years old. It was submitted Sept. 21, 1992, by the National Security Archive itself to the National Archives and Records Administration for files on nuclear arms control and test information from 1959 to 1961. The audit said the request is probably languishing at the Energy Department and the Air Force because the National Archives must refer requests to the agencies where the information originated. On a positive note, the audit found that 20 or the 90 agencies had improved the date of their oldest open request from 2008 by more than one month, and the CIA improved its oldest request by nearly a year and a half. The auditors also found that four agencies — the departments of Justice and Agriculture, the Office of Management and Budget and the Small Business Administration — had both increased the number of requests that got all or part of the documents sought and

Carolina 3A announces All-Conference teams Webb’s Morton, Southern’s Turner receive honors
By DAILY DISPATCH STAFF
J.F. Webb’s Kiana Morton was selected the Carolina 3A Conference girls Player of the Year. Morton helped lead the Warriors to a first-place finish in the conference. The Warriors led all teams with four All-Conference selections. Joining Morton on the AllConference Team from Webb are Tyler Hobgood, Lameisha Terry and Diamond Greene. All-Conference selections are decided by the coaches in the conference.

Scheyer’s ‘storybook’ finish sealed Duke title GREENSBORO — Duke’s coach called the shot a storybook ending to an ACC career, and there’s hardly a better way to describe it. Jon Scheyer’s 3-pointer from the right wing with 20 seconds to play put the dagger in Georgia Tech’s heart and propelled the Blue Devils to a 65-61 victory, and the ACC Tournament Championship, just when it looked like the Yellow Jackets might pull off the improbable win. “At the end Jon Scheyer made an unbelievable shot,” Tech coach Paul Hewitt said. “If you’re a basketball fan, enjoy it for what it is. I told him after the game that was a hell of a shot you just made.” In the beginning, when Duke jumped to an 8-0 lead and Mike forced the Yellow Sosna Jackets into five turnovers in Dispatch their first five ACC Columnist possessions, the game looked like it would be the Blue Devil blowout one might predict for a top-seed/ seventh-seed match-up. Nolan Smith led the Devils early, scoring 11 of his 16 points in the first half. But Tech continued to hang around, and a 9-0 run in the last three minutes of the game, finished with an emphatic dunk by Derrick Favors with 48 seconds to play, brought the Jackets closer than they had been all day, 60-59. “Georgia Tech can play with anybody and beat anybody,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I think they are playing outstanding basketball right now.” To that point, Scheyer was having another poor shooting game, starting the day shooting 33 percent from the field in the first two tournament games, only 3 for 12 from behind the arc.

Raiders win conference opener Lawrence, Garrett lift Southern past Cardinal Gibbons By KELLEN HOLTZMAN Dispatch Sports Writer
Southern Vance was tested early in Monday’s Carolina 3A Conference opener against Cardinal Gibbons. Gibbons put its first two batters on base, but Southern pitcher Jordan Garrett responded by setting down the next three batters in order. The Raiders (5-1, 1-0) scored three runs in the first and second innings and held on for a 6-0 win behind a two-hit, 16-strikeout shutout from Garrett. “I think everybody had a rough start at the beginning. They weren’t focused,”
said Southern coach Leann Shelton. “We got a reality check when there was a person on second and third, but we got ourselves out of that situation.” Taylor Lawrence led the Raiders at the plate with a 2 for 3 performance with four RBIs — including a three-run home run in the second inning. With her team up 3-0, Lawrence belted a two-out shot to dead center to double Southern’s lead. The home run scored Rebecca Norwood and Samantha Patrick, who reached on singles. “I think she needed that,” Shelton said of Lawrence. “It shows how much power the girl’s got. She did an awe-
some job.” Crusaders pitcher Alyssa Gutierrez settled down after the second, only giving up three hits and no runs. She finished with 10 strikeouts. “She was in the top two or three (pitchers) we’ve faced (this season). She was hitting the outside corners,” Shelton said. Garrett walked the first batter of the game, who reached third after Katie Johanson bunted her way on to first base. Johanson stole second before Garrett struck out the next three batters Please see RAIDERS, page 3B
Viking bats clutch in 4-1 win over Bunn By GEOFF NEVILLE Franklin Times Sportswriter
BUNN — Northern Vance’s two-out rallies proved to be one big headache for the Bunn Ladycats. Visiting Northern scored all of its runs with two outs en route to posing a 4-1 decision Monday at Bunn in a non-conference softball showdown. Of Norther’s quartet of tallies, three of them were also secured after an inning had started with back-to-back putouts. But that didn’t keep the Lady Vikings from rallying with some clutch hitting, including a two-spot in the top of the seventh that helped provide insurance for Northern starting hurler Rebekah Edwards. Edwards was sharp, allowing just three hits while walking two and striking out eight. Freshman Lauren Maynard went the distance for Bunn, giving up nine base Please see VIKINGS, page 3B

NFL Panthers sign Petitti, special teamer Hudson CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Carolina Panthers have re-signed reserve offensive tackle Rob Petitti and have added special teams depth by inking defensive back Marcus Hudson. Monday’s moves continue the Panthers’ thrifty offseason where they’ve slashed payroll and signed a handful of lower-tier, cheaper players. Hudson played in college at North Carolina State. He’s collected 57 special teams tackles over the past four seasons with San Francisco. He also saw some time in the 49ers’ nickel and dime packages. Petitti was signed late last season after right tackle Jeff Otah was placed on injured reserve. Petitti was a sixth-round pick of Dallas in 2005 and was playing in the United Football League before joining the Panthers.
NHL Ovechkin suspended for two games NEW YORK (AP) — Two-time MVP Alex Ovechkin was suspended Monday for the Washington Capitals’ next two games because of a reckless hit. The forward drove Chicago’s Brian Campbell into the boards from behind in the first period Sunday and received a major penalty and a game misconduct. With Ovechkin, who is leading the league in points with 96, kicked out of the game, the Capitals later came back from a 3-0 third-period deficit to win 4-3 in overtime. “There’s nothing I can do right now. He just fell and this happens,” Ovechkin said after the game. Because he also was suspended for two games earlier this season, Ovechkin is now considered a repeat offender under the collective bargaining agreement. He’ll forfeit more than $232,000 in salary based on the number of games in the season instead of the number of days. Ovechkin was suspended for two games Dec. 1 for a knee-to-knee hit on Carolina defenseman Tim Gleason. He will miss games Tuesday at Florida and Thursday at Carolina. He can return Saturday at Tampa Bay.

Charlotte fires Bobby Lutz By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer
CHARLOTTE — Less than two months ago, Bobby Lutz was seemingly in the middle of a dramatic turnaround at Charlotte. The 49ers were 18-5, alone in first place in the Atlantic 10, and had wins over NCAA tournament-bound teams Louisville, Richmond and Temple. On Monday afternoon, minutes after addressing his team for the final time, Lutz stood in a courtyard on campus and came to grips with the end of his 12-year run as coach at his alma mater, fired after a miserable finish and a costly blunder in the first round of the league tournament. “It’s obviously disappointing, because I said when I got the job that it was my dream job. I hoped to finish my career here and perhaps I have, who knows at this point,” said Lutz, Charlotte’s winningest coach with a 218-158 mark. “What I am proud of is the fact that we’re in great position. We return — or they return — 75 percent of their scoring and rebounding.” With a new-look roster, the 49ers recovered from an 11-20 record last season until losses in seven of the final eight games left them 19-12 and out of the NCAA tournament for a fifth straight year. The last loss came with the help of a technical foul called for having six players on the floor in the final minute. A day after the 49ers also were bypassed by the NIT, Lutz was dismissed in a meeting with chancellor Philip Dubois and athletic

Charlotte coach Bobby Lutz reacts to a call in the first half of a Jan. 27 game against Temple in Charlotte. director Judy Rose. Lutz, who is scheduled to make about $600,000 this season, is due another $948,000 over the next four years unless he accepts another head coaching job. Rose pointed to Lutz’s 4344 Atlantic 10 record, counting the league tournament, in five seasons since the school’s move from Conference USA. The 49ers made the NCAA tournament five times in Lutz’s first seven seasons when they often tangled with Cincinnati, Louisville, Memphis and Marquette for conference titles. “We haven’t been to the NCAA tournament since ’04’05. That’s a pretty long dry spell when you look before that we were going fairly regularly,” Rose said. “Now do I expect us to go to the NCAA tournament every year? No, I’d love for that to happen, but it’s not the level of expectation. But it is the level of expectation that we get there on a somewhat regular basis. I think we have the infrastructure in
place.” Rose said she’ll look for a coach with a “high energy level,” while declaring that she won’t grant releases to allow players to transfer until after they’ve had one season under the new coach. Lutz, dressed in a suit, spoke to reporters about an hour after Rose, uncertain if he’ll pursue another coaching job. “It is my pleasure and privilege to be the head coach at Charlotte for this time,” he said. “It’s been an unbelievable journey, a dream come true.” Lutz, though, will want to forget his final game. After its late-season slide cost the 49ers a first-round bye in the A-10 tournament, the 49ers trailed 11th-seeded Massachusetts by three with under a minute left. Charlotte had the ball and called a timeout. But they came back on the floor with six players and were called for a technical foul. UMass, which entered 1119, hit both free throws and went on to post the upset. “I look at our 12 years and would hope that the decision was based on something much more than that,” Lutz said when asked if the gaffe may have played a role in his ouster.
Rose denied it was a factor in the decision, pointing to Lutz’s struggles to adapt to the change in conferences. The 49ers lost fierce rivals in Conference USA in the mass realignment last decade. And while fans here struggled to get fired up over new, mostly northeastern A-10 opponents, Lutz lost recruiting tussles. The biggest defeat was Michael Beasley, who backed out of a commitment to Charlotte and instead went to Kansas State. He stayed one season there before being the second overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft. Lutz was denied a contract extension after going 14-16 in the 2006-07 season and turned down the coaching job at South Alabama. He returned, Charlotte went 20-14 to reach the NIT, and was given a new deal. The contract had a rollover clause and was extended another year after last season, although Rose said over the summer that Lutz faced a “critical year.” “I really ought to take responsibility on the contract extension,” Dubois said. “I think we really wanted, because of his longevity here and because of his past record, to give him every benefit of the doubt.”

(AP) — The San Francisco 49ers signed free agent quarterback David Carr to a two-year deal Monday and agreed to terms with Detroit on a trade that would send backup quarterback Shaun Hill to the Lions for a 2011 draft pick.

Pujols for Howard?
MVPs unfazed by trade buzz PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Albert Pujols for Ryan Howard? Let’s just say the MVP sluggers don’t plan to pack their bags anytime soon. Talk of a megatrade kept baseball buzzing Monday following an ESPN report the Philadelphia Phillies were thinking about asking the St. Louis Cardinals if they’d like to swap star first basemen. Pujols didn’t appreciate the speculation. “There’s people, stupid, that like to write something when it’s not the truth, and that’s all I have to say about that,” he said as the Cardinals visited the New York Mets for an exhibition game. “If I’m getting traded, they need to come to me. That’s not my job to go to them,” Pujols said. “I’ve been saying all along I want to be here, but whatever, it’s not up to me. I just think somebody tried to be funny, but it’s so stupid when somebody takes something like that serious.” Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. denied his team had discussed a trade and used “lies” and “ridiculous” and “irresponsible” to describe the report, which ESPN based on unidentified sources. “I really don’t have anything to say about it,” Howard said at the Phillies’ camp in Clearwater. “Truthfully, I can go back to all the stuff that happened when I was in Double-A — all the talk about trade rumors. I don’t know anything about anything. I’m not really focused on it. If that were the case — I don’t know if it is or not — it is what it is. You just keep going out there and doing your thing. If you get a call saying you’re traded, then you’re traded. Until that happens, I’m still a Phillie. I’m still here. Let’s ride it out.” The mere mention of a Pujols-for-Howard quickly became the talk of baseball, where fans thirst for big trades. The two-time NL champion Phillies acquired ace Roy Halladay from Toronto in a multiteam swap last winter that also sent Cliff Lee to Seattle, but blockbuster deals are rare, especially when it’s a straight-up swap of superstars. Perhaps the biggest 1-for-1 deal in sports was one that never occurred. Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams were in their prime when the Yankees and Red Sox talked about trading the future Hall of Famers. It would’ve been interesting — Williams taking advantage of the short right-field porch at Yankee Stadium and DiMaggio aiming at the Green Monster — but it never got done. Pujols and Howard are each 30 years old, have both led their teams to the World Series championship and can become free agents after the 2011 season. Pujols is a three-time MVP and has been an All-Star in each of his eight seasons since making his major league debut with the Cardinals. He’s had at least 32 home runs and 103 RBIs in every year, is a career .334 hitter with 366 lifetime homers and has walked more than he’s struck out.
playing time after serving as Eli Manning’s backup for the New York Giants the past two seasons. 49ers coach Mike Singletary has repeatedly said 2005 No. 1 pick Alex Smith is the starter, but didn’t rule out signing an experienced quarterback who could push Smith and challenge for playing time. “They have said that competition is what they love around here,” Carr
said. “It makes you feel better. One of Singletary’s things is, ’Iron sharpens iron.’ The thing that I wanted to hear, from all those guys, was I’ll have a chance to be on the field if I play the way I know I can play and they said yes. Once I get on the field, I feel confident that we are going to play well.” Carr, an eight-year NFL veteran, was drafted No. 1 overall by the Houston
Texans in 2002. He played right away for the expansion team and was sacked 76 times as a rookie. In five seasons with the Texans, he completed 60 percent of his passes with 59 touchdowns and 65 interceptions for a quarterback rating of 75.5. He was also sacked 249 times in 76 games. The 49ers would receive an undisclosed 2011 draft pick in return for Hill.

bases-loaded walk with a pair of outs in the top of the first stanza. Neither team would strike again until Northern got things going with a two-out uprising in the top of the fourth. Ciarea Thompson started the rally with a base hit that was short on distance and long on importance, as her tapper
went only 5 feet in front of the plate — but she used her speed to be safe at first on the play. Thompson then stole second base and eventually scored on a single from Kendall Wilson. Down 2-0, Bunn responded with its lone run in the bottom of the sixth, which began with a single from Morgan Pearce
on the first pitch of the frame. Pearce advance to third base when a wild pitch bounced far to the side of the backstop, and she would score on Melanie Davis’ RBI grounder. Bunn had made things interesting, and the Ladycats were one out away from getting out of the top of the seventh in
unscathed fashion. But after a whiff and grounder to begin the inning, Tori Burwell kept the Lady Vikings at the plate with a single. Maynard walked the next three batters, including Edwards, whose bases-loaded free pass scored a run. Smith, the next batter, hit a grounder up the
middle that bounced off Maynard for an infield hit that brought home another tally to push the Lady Vikings ahead 4-1. Edwards retired the first two batters of the bottom of the seventh before Tyla Ricks kept BHS alive with a single. Edwards would finish things off by recording a grounder to end the game.
“We wanted him to come out on that side of the floor,” Hewitt said. “We didn’t want him to come out on the left side, we wanted him to catch it on his right foot and turn so the defenders were right there on his shooting hand.” “He came out on the proper side of the floor that we wanted him to come out on, and I’m telling you that’s a big-time shot you just saw. To have the courage to step up after being 1 for 8, taking a 3 that if it misses long we’re almost certainly going to get the rebound and run down and
score — that’s a big-time play.” Scheyer, with a shooter’s confidence, was looking to take the shot. “Even though I wasn’t hitting, I still wanted the opportunity in the end to shoot the ball,” Scheyer said. “They set a really good screen for me and I’m just happy it went in. I didn’t want to let my team down there.” Tech’s Iman Shumpert drove for a layup to cut the margin to 63-61, but with nine seconds left, the Yellow Jackets had no choice but to foul, sending Kyle Singler to the free throw
line. Singler, who finished with 20 points and was the Tournament MVP, calmly sank both free throws to nail down the win. The junior averaged 21.7 points and 8.3 rebounds for the three games and was 14 for 16 from the free throw line Sunday. “That was one of the best games we’ve played in this year, and in the last couple of years,” Krzyzewski said. “Georgia Tech played really well, our kids played really well. Defensively, both teams were outstanding.” Smith and Scheyer, who
tallied 16 points, were also First Team All Tournament, as were ACC Freshman of the Year Favors, who led the Jackets with 22 points and 11 rebounds, and Durant Scott of Miami. Winning for the second straight year, Duke has now won 18 tournament championships, the most in the ACC. The Blue Devils have garnered nine of the last 12 conference tournament crowns and have posted a 30-3 mark in tourney play since 1999. By now, the ACC Tournament Championship is old news as attention has already shifted to
the NCAA Tournament. Scheyer didn’t want to let it go Sunday afternoon, but was ready to look ahead. “This is really exciting,” Scheyer said, “I could do this 100 times. This was a big goal of ours, but there’s a lot more we want to do. We’re going to enjoy it tonight, but once we find out who we’re playing and where we’re going, that’s where our minds are going to be.” Duke will play the winner of the play-in game between Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Winthrop, to be decided on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.

CHAPEL HILL — Marcus Ginyard is relieved and grateful to have the chance to keep playing at North Carolina. It doesn't matter that the reigning national champions are reduced to playing in the NIT, either. "I'm just really excited for another opportunity to play," the fifth-year senior said. "I'm just hoping we finish this off better than we did the regular season." These are strange days around the storied program with five NCAA titles, 18 Final Fours and so many famous William & Mary vs. North Carolina players that there NIT, first round are nearly 50 retired Tuesday, 9:30 p.m. or honored jerseys on ESPN hanging in the Smith Center rafters. Now Roy Williams is making trip to a place he has never been as a head coach, while the Tar Heels are preparing to either find a positive way to end the season or extend their misery even longer when they face William & Mary on Tuesday night. Williams said his team practiced Sunday evening, then gathered in the locker room to watch the NIT selection show. Ginyard said he didn't expect the Tar Heels (16-16) would be invited, while Williams began to worry when they weren't in the first three brackets. Even then, Williams said the mood was "very subdued" when the Tar Heels were finally in as a No. 4 seed. "After it was over with, I got up and asked the guys, "What was your feeling? What was your feeling?'" Williams said. "And the word that was used the most often was 'relief.'" That's not to say Williams is totally OK with missing the NCAA tournament. He didn't go his first year at Kansas when he inherited a program on probation, but he had won at least one NCAA game every year since — a run of 20 straight years capped by last season's dominating run to the championship. "I've been like a spoiled little brat," Williams said. "I've taken my ball and gone home. I haven't watched one play and it's the most unusual feeling I've ever had. It's a feeling I never want to experience again. ... It was a fantastic 20-year run and I'm ticked off that it's over with." While the Tar Heels were savoring the chance to host another game, William & Mary coach Tony Shaver — who played for Dean Smith at North Carolina from 1972-75 — had his own reasons to be irked. By most any measure, the Tribe (22-10) had a more successful season and even beat ACC teams Wake Forest and Maryland on the road, yet earned a No. 5 seed and must travel to face a team that finished 10th in its league. "I think it's a real injustice quite honestly, but I'll say very, very quickly that we're way passed that," Shaver said. "For us to play in a national tournament, we'll play anywhere, anytime."

(Answers tomorrow) Jumbles: VIRUS EXTOL GROTTO MISUSE Answer: What the class considered the aerobics instructor’s tireless energy — TIRESOME
Sudoku
Today’s answer
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19): Nothing will be too much trouble for you. Do not travel off the beaten trail. Stick to what you know and what you promised to do. Love is in the stars but, if it’s with someone who’s married, take a pass. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep your thoughts to yourself and avoid any unnecessary dealings with officials, authority figures, banks or hospitals. Concentrate on what you can do for others. Don’t limit the possibilities because you lack confidence. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s the presence you have when you are passionate about something that will attract some interesting offers. You have the potential to make a difference but you cannot do it alone. Call upon people who owe you favors. 4 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t let anyone force you to take on a responsibility that clearly does not belong to you. Avoid meddling in other people’s affairs or letting someone interfere with yours. An older relative may need your help. 2 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be ready to make a commitment or to show someone you care about that you are serious. Plan your next vacation or get involved in an interest course. Activities that require physical endurance or competition will lift your spirits. 5 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone looking for a handout may be taking advantage of you. Taking on someone else’s misfortune will not solve the problem and it will cause you grief. Listen and make suggestions but don’t pay for someone else’s mistakes. 3 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Partnership problems can be expected. Keep a close watch but don’t make a move just yet. You have to get all the facts and work out a game plan. You will do best if you put your efforts into something creative or a job that can bring you benefits. 3 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your ideas, coupled with the new connections you’ve made, will enable you to promote your talent and a project into which you have put so much time and effort. Sudden good fortune is heading in your direction. 3 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Focus on home, family and being the best you can be. If you don’t want to invite criticism or negative responses, don’t procrastinate or fail to honor your promises. Property enhancement or a geographical move looks favorable. 5 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can make some changes that will help set you apart from the competition. Don’t let emotional matters disrupt your plans or your productivity. A lesson you learned in the past will help to keep you on course now. 2 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Before you settle back and accomplish little, finish a job or project that needs completing. Rely on past experience to guide you. Change is required and, if you do your homework, you will know exactly what’s required. 4 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s time to make changes that will lead to greater financial independence. Start saving and stop spending foolishly. If the price ticket for socializing is too high, suggest a night at home with someone you enjoy. 3 stars
