B&G Clubs request for help denied

Heat overcomes four firefighters; SBI to aid probe By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer

By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

The Henderson City Council, with one dissent, approved a recommendation by City Manager Ray Griffin on Monday evening not to appropriate funds to help the Boys & Girls Clubs of North Central North Carolina. Griffin said that he reviewed the matter at the request of the council and that, while he would not argue with the merits and the benefits of the club, the situation boils down to the lack of available resources. Griffin said sales tax collections, which are the second highest source of revenue in Henderson’s government, continue to be below projections. Additionally, Griffin said that the city has learned from the N.C. League of Municipalities that lawmakers, as part of balancing the state budget, withheld large amounts of beer and wine proceeds intended for counties and municipalities.

‘Very unusual’ fire burns shed, woods

Funding needed for after school program at middle school

Index

It took four hours Tuesday afternoon for about 60 city and volunteer firefighters to control a suspicious blaze that burned a storage building, some woods and CSX railroad track ties between South Williams and South Garnett streets. Working in 97-degrees, four firefighters were overcome by heat and had to be treated at the scene by Vance County EMS. The heat index registered 105 degrees. Two ambulances stood by during the operation. Also there were members of Emergency Management. Agents with the State Bureau of Investigation were called in to try to determine how the fire started. Henderson Police officers blocked off numerous nearby streets in the area. Describing the situation as “very unusual,” Chief Danny Wilkerson said the wildfire traveled about 100 yards, but was kept from reaching structures on Spring Street. The hot, smoky fire had a will of its own between 3:30 p.m. — when someone reported it to 911 — and 7:30 p.m., according to Wilkerson. He said the heavy rains in the Please see FIRE, page 4A

Payback due state’s school districts Vance windfall could total over $3.8 million By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer

Some day, possibly next year, cash-strapped Vance County Schools might be in line for a windfall of roughly of $3,880,540. But, it would be a good idea for local school officials not to hold their breaths until they get it. Vance County and other North Carolina public schools could eventually benefit from a pro-

posed State payback plan for $747 million in school technology funds collected through fines and forfeiture over 9 1/2 years. The time-frame covered by the potential program is from Jan. 1, 1996 to June 30, 2005. It is tied to North Carolina Superior Court Judge Howard Manning’s 2008 ruling that the State illegally withheld the money from the public school systems during that period. According to the judgement, restitution funds will be allotted to schools based on 2008-2009 student population figures. The student numbers for Burke County Public Schools totaled nearly 14,150 during the same fiscal year. Based on the judge’s appropriations, the payback per

student would be $506. Vance County Schools had about 7,669 students in 20082009. At $506 per student, the amount due the school system would be $3,880,540. A bill that would put the payback plan into action was held up Aug. 5 after the General Assembly’s House Judiciary III Committee decided to hold it over until the 2010 short session for changes. The developments were described in information from the North Carolina School Boards Association (NCSBA). It was provided to The Daily Dispatch Monday by Steven Graham, finance director of Vance County Schools. Years ago, the NCSBA filed a

lawsuit that eventually resulted in the North Carolina Superior Court judgement that the $747 million was unconstitutionally kept from the schools by the State. Senate Bill 269, if it becomes a law next year, would establish a restitution program. It would consist of cameras that would detect speeding violations in highway construction areas and school zones. Seventy-five percent of the collected fines would be used to pay down the 2008 judgement, providing an estimated $47 million a year for school technology. The money is supposed to be used to be used for computer Please see PAYBACK, page 4A

Beacon Light home ownership ‘real risk’ Agent: ‘Responsibility for management on people...who don’t have a lot of experience with being responsible’ By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

The real estate agent representing the owner of the former Obituaries, 4A Beacon Light apartment complex said the owner will pursue home ownership at the property, but maintained there are logistical problems and gambles in doing so. The agent, Vance County Commissioner Terry Garrison, told the Henderson City Council the

process would mean a conversion to condominiums and the need for a homeowners association. And Garrison additionally cited a need for improvements to Garrison the entrance to the property. And Garrison said another problem is the property, located at 318 Boddie St. in the southeast-

ern part of Henderson, is in an area surrounded by many houses worth $25,000-$30,000 and which are rented. The council on Monday evening voted to move ahead with a demolition order on the former Beacon Light, but with terms making clear the city’s willingness to work with the property owner, Sharif Abdelhalim, to give him time to bring the property into compliance with municipal housing

codes and into compliance with a council-majority mandate of home ownership. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-sponsored low-income complex, which dates back to 1973, was closed in 2006 at the request of the previous council after the property had become notorious for crime and unsanitary conditions.

The Henderson Rec Players will wrap up their 2009 season with “Collective Dating,” five short plays by V. B. Leghorn, all on the issues facing modern daters. The fastmoving comedies will be presented in the small auditorium at VanceGranville Community College Thursday through Sunday. The Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances will begin at 8 p.m., and the Sunday performance will begin at 2:30 p.m. There will be no reserved seats for these performances, and tickets will be sold at the door beginning one-half hour before the performance.

The cost of admission is $7. Director Jeff Jenkins has assembled a varied ensemble cast to perform the five plays, entitled “Speed Dating,” “Internet Dating,” “The Dating Game,” “The Sacrifice of Dating,” and “Creative Dating.” “The Rec Players have always done a great job of balancing out the season’s first production — always a big, Broadway-style musical — with a more intimate production in the small auditorium at Vance-Granville,” said Jenkins. “The five short plays we have chosen this year were read through by several different groups of

Granville Health System has announced that the organization has signed on as a corporate sponsor of the 2009 Granville County Habitat for Humanity home, being built near downtown Oxford later this year. Granville County Habitat For Humanity is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged. Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families them-

selves invest hundreds of hours of labor — “sweat equity” — into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving “Fund for Humanity” that is used to build more houses. “We are pleased to announce our 2009 sponsorship of Granville County Habitat for Humanity’s Oxford home,” said L. Lee Isley, chief executive officer for Granville Health System. “Our health system is committed to help improve the quality of lives throughout our region. Working with organizations like Habitat for Humanity allows Granville Health System the opportunity to reach out and help our community in a meaningful way.” In addition to donating financial support for the 2009 house, Granville

Members of the team will provide support with framing, roofing, painting and other projects as assigned by the site manager. “We are very excited that Granville Health System is working with our organization,” said Mark Prokop, executive director for Granville Habitat for Humanity. “Habitat for Humanity partners with companies that are deeply

involved in their communities. Granville Health System has a solid reputation for reaching out to local residents through education programs and wellness initiatives. The 2009 House Sponsorship is another way that GHS is willing to step up, and support the communities it serves.”

We think putting all five of them together into one production after the big success of ‘Oklahoma!’ will add even more variety to this season.” The talented cast comes from Henderson, Oxford, Franklinton and Wake Forest, and Jenkins had such a good turnout for his auditions in May that he has ended up having two different actors play some of the roles – alternating performance nights.

“And we could have had close to $5 million of tax value on the books in less than a year from now,” Garrison said. Garrison told the council that he tried to sell the property for approximately $1.2 million and had interested persons from both the west and east coasts, but that he could not make a sale because of the home ownership provision. Garrison in May had been offering the property for $400,000. On-line county tax information said the land value was listed at $100,000, with the buildings having no listed value. Councilman Michael Inscoe was absent from Monday evening’s meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Lonnie Davis cast the lone no vote against reaffirming the home ownership requirement.

buildings having been damaged or destroyed by fire. Garrison said he believes the number would be reduced to 75 or 80 if the fire-damaged or firedestroyed buildings are knocked down. Garrison said if one demolishes all of the buildings and goes with singlefamily housing, then he estimates a maximum of 36 houses could be built at the 9.25 acre location. As for the entrance to the property, Garrison said, “It does not look like a place that people want to go out and pay $100,000 for a house.” And Garrison said that is on top of the fact that banks and other lending institutions are going to be wary about loaning large amounts of money. “It’s a real, real, real risk” to put such expensive housing in the area, Garrison said. “We’re dismissing the idea of the rental housing for the complex, but we could have had that property converted” and probably almost up and operating by now, Garrison said.

Henderson, which had budgeted $76,000 in anticipation of such funds, will have to reduce the amount to $25,000, Griffin said. The club’s leadership at the council’s July 27 meeting asked for assistance in coming up with $15,000 to help maintain an afterschool program at EatonJohnson Middle School, 500 Rockspring St. The club cited an anticipated loss of state backing for the program as the reason for the request. The only way to come up with the money to help the club would be to pull from the fund balance appropriation, which is at 10.2 percent, with 8 percent being the number that triggers state scrutiny, Griffin said. A club representative, Ken Long, noting, “We’ll take a dollar,” thanked the city officials for their consideration. When Councilwoman Brenda Peace made a motion, seconded by Councilman Garry Daeke, to

decline the club’s request, Councilwoman Mary Emma Evans asked, “We can’t give them anything?” “How about $5,000? We don’t have that?” Evans asked, emphasizing the need to think about the young. Griffin said while the council has the discretion to appropriate funds, he does not feel comfortable from a managerial perspective. Mayor Pro Tem Lonnie Davis noted the city’s Code Compliance Department is short one position. Peace said that she respected what Griffin said and that, “If you can’t do it, you just cannot do it.” “It’s impossible right now,” Peace added. And Daeke said that, “As much as I want to, I can’t see adding another service, another additional program, after we’ve done all of the cutting to our essential city services,” noting the freezing of funding for a vacant firefighting position.

speak after the council’s action on Monday evening, said one problem is there are not even condominiums in the upscale country club section on the western side of the city. And Garrison said that there will have to be a homeowners association or at least the equivalent of one or someone will have to be hired to manage the association. And Garrison said that one must keep in mind the homeowners association fees on top of the principal, interest, insurance and taxes. Additionally, Garrison said, “You’re talking about putting a responsibility for management on people, by and large, most likely, who don’t have a lot of experience with being responsible.” Garrison said that, if the association malfunctions, then he does not know where residents would go to complain, except to say his thinking would be the City Council.

ous council wanted Beacon Light redeveloped with single-family homes. Abdelhalim acquired the property for $54,000 in an August 2007 foreclosure sale. The council majority in June postponed going ahead with a demolition so the city could hear from a potential buyer, Twin City, which is a Greensboro real estate management company. Councilman Garry Daeke backed City Code Compliance Director Corey Williams in casting the lone vote against holding off the demolition action. Twin City representatives said they wanted to have rental units on the property. During a meeting last week of the council’s Land Planning and Development Committee in which six of the eight council members were present, Twin City’s proposal was turned back and the terms were drawn up for full council approval to put the ball back in Abdelhalim’s hands.

Productivity rises more than expected in second quarter By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — Productivity surged in the spring by the largest amount in almost six years while labor costs plunged at the fastest pace in nine years. The Labor Department said Tuesday that productivity, the amount of output per hour of work, rose at an annual rate of 6.4 percent in the April-June quarter, while unit labor costs dropped 5.8 percent. Both results were greater than economists expected. Productivity is a key ingredient for rising living standards because it means that companies can pay their workers more with the wage increases financed by rising output. However, in the current recession, companies have been using the productivity gains to bolster their bottom lines in the face of declining sales. Many companies have been reporting second-quar-

ter earnings results that have beaten expectations despite falling sales, due largely to their aggressive cost cutting. The 6.4 percent jump in productivity followed a 0.3 percent increase in the first three months of the year that was revised downward from an earlier estimate of a 1.6 percent gain. The revision partially reflected the annual benchmark revisions of economic data connected to the gross domestic product. Economists had expected productivity to surge in the second quarter as businesses continued to lay off workers and trim the number of hours being worked by their remaining employees amid the nation’s worst recession since the end of World War II. The nation’s total output of goods and services, as measured by the gross domestic product, fell at an annual rate of 1 percent in the second quarter. That was a much slower rate of decline

than the previous two quarters when the economy shrank at the fastest pace in more than a half-century. Many economists believe the current recession is on the verge of ending. If the economy starts to grow in the second half of this year, companies are expected to switch from layoffs and trimming workers’ hours to boosting employment as demand for their products increases. Still, the leaner work force should help keep productivity rising in coming quarters although the gains are not expected to be as large as the jump in the spring. The 6.4 percent jump in productivity at an annual rate was the biggest quarterly gain since a 9.7 percent surge in the third quarter of 2003. The 5.8 percent decline in unit labor costs followed a revised 2.7 percent dip in the first quarter and was the biggest quarterly drop since a 7.7 percent decline in the second quarter of 2000.

Animal groups barking over Course for beginning farmers distribution of Helmsley fortune By KAREN MATTHEWS Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — Leona Helmsley’s dog, Trouble, may be living quietly enough in Florida, but there’s a lot of barking about the way the late hotel queen’s millions are being given away. Three of the country’s largest animal welfare groups on Tuesday accused the trustees of Leona Helmsley’s estate of a “scheme to deprive dog welfare charities” of their stake in the real estate baroness’ fortune. They filed a petition in Manhattan Surrogate’s Court on Monday arguing that Helmsley, who died in 2007, specified in her will that her multibillion-dollar estate should be used to help dogs, and the trustees disregarded those wishes. The groups — the Humane Society of the United States, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Maddie’s Fund — want the court to throw out a judge’s February decision that gave the trustees for the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust sole authority to determine which

charities would benefit from her estate. In April, the trustees gave away $136 million to hospitals, foundations and the homeless. Just $100,000 went to an animal-welfare group, the ASPCA. Another $900,000 went to groups that train guide dogs for the blind. Wayne Pacelle, chief executive officer of the Humane Society, said the five trustees — Helmsley’s brother, Alvin Rosenthal; two of her grandsons, Walter and David Panzirer; her lawyer Sandor Frankel; and her longtime friend John Codey — substituted their own judgment for Helmsley’s. “She wanted the money to go, at least in large measure, to the care of dogs,” Pacelle said Tuesday. Pacelle, who joined leaders of the ASPCA and Maddie’s Fund at a news conference at the ASPCA’s Manhattan headquarters, said at least half of the $136 million should have gone to organizations that benefit dogs. ASPCA Board Chairwoman Marsha Perelman said that kind of money would be “game changing” for animalwelfare groups. “Almost 2 million dogs

are needlessly euthanized in this country every year,” Perelman said. “If funds from the Helmsley estate were available to address this problem, this problem could be made to disappear.” The trust, in a statement posted on its Web site, said Helmsley never wanted her fortune just to go to dogs. “Did Leona Helmsley intend for this charitable trust to focus on the care and help of dogs, rather than people? Absolutely not,” the statement said. “Have the trustees of this vast fortune acted improperly and ignored Mrs. Helmsley’s instructions? Again, absolutely not.” A spokesman for the trust did not immediately return a phone call Tuesday seeking comment. The hotel heiress, whose fortune had been estimated at $5 billion to $8 billion after her death at age 87, also named her dog as a beneficiary in her will, leaving a $12 million trust fund for the little white Maltese. But a judge whittled that amount down to $2 million. Trouble’s last known residence was the Helmsley Sandcastle Hotel in Sarasota, Fla.

‘Bark For Life 2009’ — a canine event to fight cancer When someone thinks of cancer, they most typically think of humans with cancer. However, dogs and cats are prone to the disease as well. In recognition of that fact, the Vance County Relay For Life is taking fund-raising to a whole new level with the “Bark For Life of Vance County” on Aug. 22 at Fox Pond Park, 375 Vicksboro Road in Henderson. “Bark For Life” is an event where dog owners and their furry friends can fight cancer together by raising money for cancer research, education, advocacy and service. The event will offer owners and their canines the opportunity to walk together to raise funds for cancer research

and participate in other activities, while also enjoying food and entertainment. For a registration fee of $20 per participant (including dogs), participants will receive a t-shirt and a bandana for their furry friend. For those interested in bringing more than one dog, there is an extra fee of $5 per dog. Please note that all dogs must be on a leash to participate in the event. “This is more than just a walk in the park for you and your dog — it is an event meant to strengthen not only the bond between canine owners and their dogs, but to bring them and the community closer as we all join together to fight cancer,” said Candice

Walsh, community manager for the Vance County Relay For Life. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. and the walk and other activities begin at 10 a.m. The event will conclude by noon. Participants may register for the “Bark For Life” event online at www.vancerelay.com. Registration will also be held the day of the event. The event will consist of a one-mile walk and contests for owners and their dogs to enter for a fee of $1 per contest, per dog. The contests will include “Best Dog/Owner Look Alike,” “Musical Doggy Sit,” “Best Trick,” and more. After the walk and activities, lunch will be available for purchase.

“ ‘Bark For Life of Vance County’ is an easy way we all can make a difference in finding a cure for cancer while also making new friends and spending quality time with our dogs,” said Betty Hester, a Vance County Relay For Life volunteer who also is volunteering her time to plan the “Bark For Life” event. All proceeds from the “Bark For Life of Vance County” will benefit the American Cancer Society’s Vance County Relay For Life which was held on June 19-20. Vance County Relay for Life has currently raised $133,799.17 towards a projected goal of $142,000, which the organizers hope to reach by Aug. 31.

Grant provides funds for cafeteria improvements at Vance Co. schools The Vance County Schools’ Child Nutrition Program has received a $32,172 federal grant in economic stimulus funds for lunch programs. Phyllis Newcomb, director of the school system’s Child Nutrition Program, said the grant funding makes it possible for the program to purchase a new serving line for E.M. Rollins Elementary School and a new stove for the kitchen at Eaton-Johnson Middle School.

“These pieces of equipment are very expensive and grant funding like this is a huge help in replacing equipment we have that needs to be updated and improved,” Newcomb added. The new serving line at E.M. Rollins will be installed soon. It will be red in color to match the school’s mascot color. The new stove at Eaton-Johnson also should be installed within the next few weeks.

Perdue signs law on race bias test in death cases By EMERY P. DALESIO Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — Gov. Beverly Perdue on Tuesday made North Carolina the second state to allow defendants to use statistical evidence to prove racial bias played a role in putting them on death row. North Carolina joins Kentucky with a law that aims to prevent black defendants from being punished more harshly what whites. The law allows judges to consider statistical evidence that indicates race played a key factor in putting a disproportionate number of people from a racial group on death row, or on trial for their lives. A judge also could consider sworn testimony from legal system insiders like prosecutors, law enforcement officers, or jurors that death sentences were sought or imposed more often on members of one race than another. A judge who agrees with the evidence could limit a sentence to life in prison without parole. “I’m a supporter of the death penalty, have been for years. But I’ve always believed as a citizen ... that the burden is heavier, the very heaviest, in death penalty cases,” Perdue said before signing legislation supporters have called the Racial Justice Act. The law is “a grand step forward to ensure

that when North Carolina hands down our state’s harshest punishment, the decision is based on fact, not prejudice.” The Racial Justice Act aims to ensure that prosecutors and jurors are colorblind, she said. “While our criminal justice system will continue to have the death penalty, racial disparities have no place whatsoever in North Carolina’s criminal justice system,” Perdue said. The law was opposed by district attorneys, sheriffs and victims’ advocates who said it would make death penalty prosecutions too difficult. North Carolina has not had an execution in nearly three years. Killers now on death row have one year to file a claim that racial prejudice skewed their death sentence verdict. “Make no mistake, this law has little to do with justice and nothing to do with guilt or innocence. For the first time in North Carolina, the statistical composition of the inmates on death row will outweigh the facts of a particular case in the determination of punishment,” said Senate Minority Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham. “Families of the victims of the most heinous crimes will now be subjected to the further delay of true justice for them and their murdered loved ones,” he said.

But House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said the law keeps the death penalty while adding a condition that tries to ensure it is applied evenly. “I’ve spent most of my life in courtrooms across North Carolina and I have seen the subtle impact of race in our courtrooms,” said Hackney, an attorney. “This opens the courtroom door for those who believe that they can show that it had an impact on their case.” Advocates pointed to research such as a 1990 report by the U.S. General Accounting Office that said dozens of studies have found “a pattern of evidence indicating racial

disparities in the charging, sentencing, and imposition of the death penalty.” Since North Carolina’s last execution in August 2006, successful death penalty prosecutions have nearly come to a halt and public support for executions has waned. Just one convict was sent to death row last year and five people have been acquitted of the charges that initially placed them on death row since 2000. Of the 59 capital convicts who had their cases retried this decade, only two were again sentenced to death. A November 2005 poll from Elon University found that 64 percent of

the state’s adults supported capital punishment. The same poll found this March that 58 percent supported the death penalty while 28 percent opposed it. Less than half said this year that the death penalty was the most appropriate punishment for first-degree murder, according to the poll.

GRANVILLE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

Feds charge more than 100 in drug roundup in S.C. COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Federal and local agents have charged more than 100 people with federal drug, weapon and immigration violations in what they are calling a vast conspiracy in South Carolina. U.S. Attorney Walt Wilkins says arrests were made throughout the day Tuesday. Since May, Wilkins says members of a violent gang task force have been investigating a group of Mexican drug suppliers operating in Lexington County. He says undercover agents have used wiretaps and made numerous crack cocaine purchases. Wilkins says the investigation tied the South Carolina drug cell to others in Atlanta and in North Carolina that were also getting cocaine from Mexico. He says agents seized 33 firearms, and money and drugs, including about $568,000 in cash and 18 kilograms of cocaine.

Daily Meditation I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 2 John 4-6

Our Opinion

Pricey planes a sign of the D.C. spending times Just when you thought government waste was at its apex, Congress tries to send it into the stratosphere. House leaders on Monday crash-landed their idea to add $330 million to the Air Force’s 2010 budget for airplanes in order to buy four new jets to speed politicians and bureaucrats around the nation and world. Two of the additional planes would have been C-37s, the military designation for the opulent Gulfstream 550, at a price tag of $130 million. The other $200 million was for an extra pair of C-40s, the military version of a Boeing 737. Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, who is fast catching up to West Virginia Sen. Robert C. Byrd as the king of pork, almost acted surprised that the Pentagon didn’t want the planes, even though, you know, the military hadn’t asked for any money to buy them. “If the Department of Defense does not want these aircraft, they will be eliminated from the bill,” said Murtha, chairman of the panel that approved the extra expenses, which also included millions for an alternative engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, more spending that the Pentagon said would be a waste. Murtha said the extra planes, which were to be stationed at Andrews Air Force Base, nice and close-by to D.C. for congressional junkets, were necessary to replace older planes that have become unsafe or unreliable. Of course, you’d think the Air Force itself would be a better judge of when old planes need replaced. And even still we’re ignoring the fact that its wasteful and embarrassing for the government — which excoriated Detroit automakers for requesting a public bailout while cruising around in private jets — maintains its own ludicrously large private fleet of airplanes rather than making politicians and bureaucrats fly commercial. (Or even, God forbid, coach!) The $636 billion defense bill, bloated beyond even the Pentagon’s high-spending standards by congressmen looking to cart pork home to their districts, passed the House by a 400-30 vote. That could be a good indication of what percentage of Congress can be trusted to wisely spend your tax dollars. And spending has become great sport again these days in D.C.

Quotable “We are having a vigorous debate in the United States, and I think that’s a healthy thing. I suspect that once we get into the fall and people look at the actual legislation that’s being proposed, that more sensible and reasoned arguments will emerge. And we’re going to get this passed.” — President Barack Obama, asked about the spirited debate over his health care plans. “We call on the government to make clear the real security situation in Iraq. We are not convinced by statements that everything is OK ... Iraqi people want security.” — Lawmaker Alaa Maki, of the minority Sunnis in response to bombings in Mosul and Baghdad that killed more than 100 people in the worst spate of violence in the country since U.S. forces left the cities.

First, The “Clunker” program was in disarray from start to finish. It was just another case of government handling. It lasted four days (before running out of money) and was totally confusing to all. What would the health care program be if corrupt politicians pass that? Remember the Medicare and Medicaid programs? Both catastrophes because of government. The Social Security program, when instituted, said there would be no monies spent on other government programs nor would Social Security income ever be taxed. Look at what that program now covers. There are just absolutely no reasons to put programs their neighbors. You can even under the corrupt politiforget that the DNC’s claims are cians.

Set the a goon — or even a Nazi. example.

Democrats’ fear is starting to show on health care The Democratic Party is panicking, lashing out like a cornered animal, all because its effort to take over the health care industry is coming apart like so much wet toilet paper. Nancy Pelosi, who will get her own bound volume in the annals of asininity, has outdone herself. When asked by a reporter whether the protests at various town hall meetings represented legitimate grassroots opposition or were manufactured “Astroturf” stunts, she replied, “I think they’re Astroturf. You be the judge. They’re carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care.” Now this is a pas de trois of dishonesty, slander and idiocy. Not only is Pelosi lying when she says protestors are bringing swastikas to these town halls, not only is she suggesting that American citizens are Nazis for having the effrontery to get in the way of ObamaCare, but she’s also saying that the alleged swastikas are obvious proof that these protests are manufactured by slick P.R. gurus. How does that work? What public relations genius says: “OK, we need these protests to seem like an authentic backlash of real Americans. Make sure everyone has enough Nazi paraphernalia!” Meanwhile, Sen. Barbara Boxer insists the protests have to be fake because the protestors are too “well-dressed.” Likewise, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says this is all “manufactured anger” because the protestors — he calls them the “Brooks Brothers Brigade” — are too tastefully appointed to be authentic protestors. Apparently only filthy hippies can petition government. This, of course, doesn’t preclude the possibility that the protestors are also Nazis; they

were snappy dressers (Hugo Boss made SS uniforms after all). But we’ll leave that there. The White House is asking supporters to submit the names of anyone who forwards e-mail with “fishy” information. “Fishy information” herewith defined as anything that serves as a speed bump for the White House steamroller. Jonah The DNC Goldberg has put out an ad claimTribune Media ing that the Services “right wing extremist base” is out to “destroy” Barack Obama, so it has unleashed “angry mobs ... mob activity straight from the playbook of high-level Republican political operatives. They have no plan for moving our country forward, so they’ve called out the mob.” The DNC ad points to a memo written by an activist named Bob MacGuffie as proof that Republican political ops are pulling the strings. It turns out that MacGuffie, a decent-seeming fellow, is a rank amateur whose Right Principles PAC has collected a mere $5,017, disbursed the staggering sum of $1,777, and has 23 members on Facebook and five followers on Twitter, according to the Weekly Standard’s Mary Katharine Ham. It’s difficult for mere mortals like us to fully grasp the enormity of the Democrats’ hypocrisy. Put aside all that talk of dissent being the highest form of patriotism. Overlook that Democrats would have upended jerry cans of gasoline and immolated themselves in protest if the Bush administration had asked people to inform on

Woodstock at 40: At least we gave peace a chance On Saturday, it will be 40 years since 400,000 hippies descended on Max Yasgur’s dairy farm for a concert. Jimi Hendrix performed, as did Richie Havens, the Who, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, Joan Baez, Santana, and Sly and the Family Stone, among others. It was billed as three days of “peace and music.” It became a generational signpost: Woodstock. Forty years later, a faint patina of absurdity attaches to those days. One watches archival footage of young people groping and grooving and getting stoned in the mud with the same faintly horrified fascination one watches young people of earlier years dancing the jitterbug or swallowing goldfish. It seems quaint — something foolish and long ago. And it comes as no surprise that one of former Vietnam POW John McCain’s most memorable applause lines during the last presidential campaign was that he missed Woodstock because “I was tied up at the time.” It’s a wisecrack that neatly encapsulates the culture wars — feckless hippies turning on and tuning

out versus a Navy flier doing his duty under duress for flag and country. Which is not to buy into the inferred argument that there was no meaning in those mud-splattered days. Woodstock was the distillation Leonard of an ideal Pitts which held that avarice Distributed by could be Cagle Cartoons stilled, hatred could be silenced, and the disparate tribes of humanity could find reconciliation, in the chords of a song. It was a common belief back then. It’s hardly coincidental that Coca-Cola came out two years later with the iconic commercial in which a multiethnic chorus declares, “I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.” The idea that you could play your way to peace or harmonize your way to love did not end when the hippies left Yasgur’s farm. It resurfaces

every time a roster of performers gathers for some planetwide concert to heal African famine, global warming, the American farmer. For that matter, the idea was not born on Yasgur’s farm, either. History records an episode on Christmas Eve of 1914 when German soldiers faced off against entrenched French, Belgian and English troops. The Germans set tiny Christmas trees and lighted candles upon the parapets of their trenches and began singing carols. Before long, allied troops had crawled cautiously out of their holes to watch and listen. Soon after that, they joined in the singing. There followed an unofficial truce. Enemies sang together, played soccer, exchanged small gifts, buried their dead. For much of the week between Christmas and New Year’s, music stopped the war. But if the ideal was neither born nor died on Yasgur’s farm, it nevertheless reached arguably its fullest expression there. Granted, Woodstock did not stop the war in Vietnam, even for a week. Indeed, young people left the farm, cut their hair, put on suits and ties, pantsuits

and sensible shoes, and became doctors, cops, TV executives, mothers, fathers — respectable and responsible. Four decades later, they are retirees, dandling grandchildren on arthritic knees and eligible for the senior discount at Denny’s. They joined the world they famously opted out of. But before they did, they authored what amounts to a statement of faith in the power of all us we, singing harmony and getting by with a little help from our friends. Granted, it is a statement strikingly out of key in an era where music is more often associated with product placement than division healing. More to the point, it is a statement that bespeaks hapless youth and hopeless naivete. Who among us is still young enough to think you can sing peace into being? But 40 years ago, some of us gave it a try. Absurd? Maybe. But as generational signposts go, you could do a whole lot worse.

News Briefs Officials report 42 TB cases at N.C. county jail WILMINGTON (AP) — Health officials say 42 people have tested positive for tuberculosis at a jail in southeastern North Carolina. The Star-News of Wilmington reported that Brunswick County health officials said Monday that 650 current and former inmates and jail workers have been tested since the outbreak started last month. Health Director Don Yousey says two people have had the active, contagious forms of the illness. One other former inmate is being examined to determine if the bacterial infection has reached his lungs, which means the disease could be spread. The health department requires those who test positive with either the contagious or non-contagious forms of the disease to take medicine for several months to keep the potentially deadly illness from spreading.

Dredging project on Outer Banks getting closer SOUTHERN SHORES (AP) — A canal dredging project on North Carolina’s Outer Banks is almost ready to start, five years after the town of Southern Shores first tried to get the project off the ground. The Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk reported that the seven miles of canals haven’t been dredged in decades. Muck and fallen branches have clogged

Tzeo’s wife and her three children were found dead in their home in March. Investigators have said they think the killings were related to drug trafficking and a suspected opium trafficker wanted in the slaying shot himself to death after a police chase in Utah. Authorities have said they do not think Tzeo will be charged in the deaths.

them. Two previous attempts failed because the town doesn’t have enough land to dump the dredged material and residents didn’t want it in their neighborhoods. Some who had agreed to take the material changed their minds. Town manager Charles Read says he’s confident the canals will be dredged because the town has secured signed contracts with two private property owners who will let the spoil be dumped on their land. The town plans to put the first phase of the project up for bid by next month.

LaRaia accomplishes another goal at Falmouth Road Race By ERIC S. ROBINSON Dispatch Sports Editor

Nick LaRaia is used to setting goals and accomplishing them. Sunday, he exceeded his own expectations. The 54-year-old Oxford resident competed at the 37th CIGNA Falmouth Road Race in Falmouth, Mass. LaRaia won an all-expense-paid trip to run

for the CIGNA running team for winning an essay contest highlighting individuals that have overcome adversity. LaRaia lost his left leg in November 2002 when a truck and trailer collided with him while he was on his bicycle. After receiving a prosthetic limb, LaRaia refused to let his disability keep him grounded. He took the slow, arduous

journey back to the streets on the bike. He set small goals in the beginning with a bigger picture in mind. The short distances built up to long distances on the bike. Less than a year after his accident, LaRaia competed in a 150-mile long ride in a benefit for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Taking a similar approach

to running, LaRaia eventually worked his way up to competing in the Kerr Lake Triathlon. LaRaia went into Sunday’s race — the third time he’s competed at Falmouth — hoping to finish in the “official” time limit. With his wife, Dee, and brother, Mike, by his side, he finished the 7.1-mile race in 1:27:23. His time was not only good enough to finish within the limit, but he

shaved a full seven minutes off of last year’s time. LaRaia wasn’t aware of his time when he finished, but was surprised when he saw the results online that night. “When I saw seven minutes — that’s a mile a minute from last year,” he said. “It feels great to be able to Please see LaRAIA, page 2B

Hokies tailback Evans to miss season with ACL tear

Atlanta starter Tommy Hanson pitches against the Nationals in the first inning of Tuesday’s game.

Hanson cools Nats’ bats

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Virginia Tech will have a new starting tailback in a season of great expectations after Darren Evans tore a ligament in his left knee during practice. The school says the redshirt sophomore will miss the season after Tuesday’s injury to the ACL. Team trainer Mike Goforth said Evans had an MRI at Montgomery Regional Hospital and will be re-evaluated later this week to see when reconstructive surgery will be performed. He said he hopes to do it soon to allow Evans to get started on rehabilitation before classes begin. Evans started just eight

games for the Hokies last season but led the team with 1,265 yards and scored 11 touchdowns. He set a school record with 253 rushing yards in a Thursday night victory against Maryland, and was the MVP of the Orange Bowl after gaining 153 yards. Evans became the first Virginia Tech player to score a touchdown in each of his first six games, and was a second-team AllAtlantic Coast Conference selection for 2008. His loss means that redshirt freshman Ryan Williams, Josh Oglesby or highly regarded freshman David Wilson will be the starter. Only Oglesby has carried the ball in a game.

Washington win streak ends; Chipper homers for Braves By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA — Rookie Tommy Hanson struck out nine in 6 2-3 innings and the surging Atlanta Braves won again, routing the Nationals 8-1 to snap Washington’s eight-game winning streak Tuesday night. The Braves have won four straight, six of seven and 16 of 25 since the All-Star break, a stretch that has made them a factor in the NL playoff race. Atlanta started the sweltering night 4 1/2 games behind NL East-leading Philadelphia, which visits Turner Field this weekend. Hanson (7-2) had his secondmost strikeouts since being called up from Triple-A in early June,

surpassed only by an 11-strikeout effort against San Francisco on July 20. He allowed seven hits and didn’t walk anyone. Chipper Jones, back in the Atlanta lineup after missing three straight games with a strained oblique muscle, hit a mammoth homer that reached the second section of seats in right field. The Nationals’ eight straight wins were the second-longest streak since the franchise moved to Washington four years ago, surpassed only by a 10-game run in June 2005. Washington jumped ahead in the first inning, even though Hanson struck out the side. Nyjer Morgan led off with a single, stole second and scored on Ryan Zimmerman’s one-out single, which extended his

hitting streak to 14 games. The Braves tied it in the second, taking advantage of consecutive walks by John Lannan (8-9) to start the inning. Garrett Anderson singled to load the bases with no outs, but Atlanta managed only one run. Matt Diaz grounded into a double play, scoring Brian McCann, and Omar Infante flied out to end the threat. Morgan was in the middle of things again in the third. He singled with one out, stole second and tried to swipe another base, appearing to get his hand on the third-base bag ahead of Jones’ tag. But umpire Larry Vanover called the speedy runner out. The Nationals were especially enPlease see BRAVES, page 2B

Pirates, Cougars early faves in C-USA By CHRIS TALBOTT Associated Press Writer

Conference USA coaches don’t bother to scrutinize a preseason poll. Who has time to sort out that mess? As usual, there’s three or four teams that look as if they have a legitimate shot to win the conference championship this season, and a few more with reasons to dream big. East Carolina coach Skip Holtz knows it’s not even safe to pick his Pirates to repeat. “When you look at the last four years we haven’t had a back-to-back conference winner,” Holtz said. East Carolina and Houston, both teams with talented, experienced quarterbacks, head into the season as the C-USA favorites. The Cougars are led by Case Keenum, who threw for 5,020 yards and 44 touchdowns last season. The Pirates get Patrick Pinkney back for a sixth year because of injury. “That’s a nice little Christmas present for us,” Holtz said. It was Pinkney who led the Pirates to an attention-grabbing start last season. East Carolina jumped into the rankings after consecutive wins over Virginia Tech and West Virginia and a 3-0 start. After faltering midseason, the Pirates rallied and beat Tulsa in the conference title game, finishing 9-5.

Carolina wide receiver Steve Smith, right, sits under a tent Monday evening after he was involved in a collision with cornerback Chris Gamble during the team’s training camp at Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C. Smith suffered a shoulder injury during the practice, and is expected to miss the entire preseason.

Panthers’ depth issues exposed early in camp By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — The Carolina Panthers entered training camp short on depth at defensive tackle and receiver. It took only a week and two injuries to expose those holes. Receiver Steve Smith’s right shoulder injury Monday left the Panthers with no experienced replacement. It was the same predicament that Maake Kemoeatu’s season-ending Achilles’ tendon injury produced at defensive tackle. The $18 million salarycap figure defensive end Julius Peppers is carrying this season under the franchise tag left the Panthers with little money to spend to shore up those areas. It means somebody will have to make a big jump. Nick Hayden, who has played in two NFL games, has been starting in Kemoeatu’s old spot since he went down last week. Meanwhile, Dwayne Jarrett, who has caught 16 passes in two seasons, was elevated to the first

unit Tuesday afternoon opposite veteran starter Muhsin Muhammad. Smith, who was walking around in a sling on Tuesday, may miss the entire preseason. “This is an opportunity for me and I have to seize it,” said Jarrett, a 2007 second-round pick. “I have to go out and do what I’m capable of doing and just keep working hard.” Just like at defensive tackle, the receivers behind Jarrett have little experience. Ryne Robinson and Jason Carter are trying to come back from seasonending knee injuries a year ago. Kenneth Moore and Kevin McMahan has never played in an NFL game. Larry Beavers is a rookie from a Division III school. Marcus Monk has been cut twice and is coming off major knee surgery. “This is the time for a lot of guys to separate themselves,” quarterback Jake Delhomme said. “When you can see guys can handle a lot of things Please see PANTHERS, page 2B

Golf Woods says he was not fined for comment CHASKA, Minn. (AP) — Tiger Woods has said he was not fined by the PGA Tour for his critical remarks about a rules official putting the last group on the clock at Firestone. A PGA Tour official told The Associated Press on Monday that the world’s No. 1 player would be fined for his comment. He spoke on condition of anonymity because the tour does not publicize fines. A section of the PGA Tour handbook says “it is an obligation of membership to refrain from comments to the news media that unreasonably attack or disparage tournaments, sponsors, fellow members, players or PGA Tour.” “I’ve heard from the tour and there’s no fine,” Woods said. “That was an erroneous report.”

Mixed Martial Arts UFC schedules broadcast against Strikeforce event LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Ultimate Fighting Championship will re-broadcast several bouts from its landmark UFC 100 show on Spike TV on Saturday night. That just happens to be the same day as a big event for Strikeforce, the promotion that’s emerging as UFC’s most legitimate competitor. UFC 100, held July 11 in Las Vegas, was among the biggest pay-per-view events in MMA history. Brock Lesnar retained his heavyweight title in the main event. UFC’s move undoubtedly will draw some MMA fans away from the Strikeforce show on Showtime from San Jose, Calif. UFC president Dana White publicly criticized Strikeforce for the first time last weekend after the Bay Area-based promotion signed heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko, who rebuffed UFC’s overtures.

NASCAR Gordon says back is stiff after bad accident CHARLOTTE (AP) — Jeff Gordon said Tuesday he will be ready to race this weekend, even though the four-time NASCAR champion has a stiff back from his spectacular accident at Watkins Glen Gordon, who has been bothered by an aching back for more than a year, went head-on into a steel barrier during Monday’s road course race. The impact aggravated his back, but he should be able to handle this weekend’s race at Michigan International Speedway. “Luckily, Michigan is up next and it’s been pretty easy on my back in the past,” Gordon said of the sweeping, 2-mile superspeedway. The six-car accident also had Jeff Burton dealing with soreness Tuesday, while the crew chief for Sam Hornish Jr. said his driver was surprised at how well he felt. Gordon, Burton and Hornish got the worst of the accident that began when Hornish was run off course into a tire barrier. Hornish’s car shot back onto the track and into the path of Gordon, who hit the barrier. “He’s doing really well,” crew chief Travis Geisler said. “He said he was in good shape and was just going to take it easy today and get a little rest, but otherwise he was in good shape.”

HAMPTON, Va. (AP) — Michael Vick told basketball campers at Hampton University on Tuesday to use his own story as an example as they work to follow their dreams. The free agent NFL quarterback, who last month finished a 23-month federal prison sentence for dogfighting, told a crowd of about 250 to “use me as an example for your dreams.” Vick also told them that after accomplishing his goals he “allowed someone who didn’t have my best interests at heart to take all that away from me,”

according to a release from the school. “Respect helps you to make wise decisions,” Vick said. Vick lives in Hampton and was a surprise guest at the camp run by Pirates interim men’s basketball coach Ed Joyner Jr, according to the university. Vick, 29, left school after three years and was the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons. Once the league’s highest-paid player, his career came tumbling down when he was convicted in August

2007 of conspiracy and running a dogfighting operation. After being suspended indefinitely, Vick was conditionally reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell last month and cleared to sign with a team, but thus far there have been no takers. Earlier Tuesday, Vick’s agent, Joel Segal, visited Washington Redskins camp and said he was there to meet with other clients, including Jason Campbell, DeAngelo Hall and LaRon Landry. “No. No chance,” Segal said when asked about

the possibility of Vick signing with Washington. The Redskins are among 26 of the NFL’s 32 teams that have said they have no interest in signing Vick, although Vick’s NFL-appointed mentor, former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy, said several coached have contacted him to talk about the player. Segal, in an interview with ESPN 980, said he is “very optimistic” that Vick would sign with an NFL team soon. There are a lot of teams interested. ... It’s not a matter of if, but when.”

Paper: Pitino paid for woman’s abortion LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Louisville men’s basketball coach Rick Pitino told police he had sex and paid for an abortion for the woman accused of trying to extort him for $10 million, a newspaper reported Tuesday. The Courier-Journal of Louisville reported on its Web site that Pitino told police he had been drinking in a Louisville restaurant and had sex with Karen Sypher in August 2003. The police report said he denied allegations by Sypher that he raped her after the restaurant closed and at another time somewhere else. He said later he gave her $3,000 for an abortion. Sypher went to police to report the rape allegations last month. A Kentucky prosecutor said the

complaint she filed with a police sex-offense unit wouldn’t be prosecuted because it lacked supporting evidence. Sypher has pleaded not guilty to federal charges of trying to extort money up to $10 million from Pitino, who is married, and lying to the FBI. Pitino’s lawyer, Steve Pence, said the story is about Sypher and not his client. “Karen Sypher is indicted for extortion,” Pence said. “The commonwealth’s attorney has said she is void of any credibility on these 6-year-old allegations she has made.” University sports information director Kenny Klein said Pitino was in his office on Tuesday, but directed all inquires to Pence.

Sgt. Andy Abbott, the commander of the police department’s sex offense unit, asked Sypher during one interview why she waited until after she was indicted on the extortion charge to report her allegations. She gave varying answers, according to transcripts, saying she wanted to forget about it, then that Pitino threatened her and finally that “they kept throwing crumbs to keep me happy.” She didn’t say what they were, the newspaper reported. Abbott asked Sypher in the interview why she was coming forward now, only after she was charged. “Because ... where we are, it seems like retaliation,” Abbott said.

“I know it does,” Sypher responded. The newspaper cited Louisville Metro Police reports from an investigation into Sypher’s rape accusations. The newspaper obtained the records under the Kentucky Open Records Act. University president James Ramsey said his thoughts were with Pitino and his family. “Several months ago Coach Pitino informed me about the alleged extortion attempt. I’ve now been informed that there may be other details which, if true, I find surprising,” he said in a statement. Neither Sypher nor her attorney, James Earhart, immediately return calls from The Associated Press seeking comment.

amped up,” he said with a laugh. When LaRaia, Dee and Mike crossed the finish line, the race announcer recognized him as the inspiring winner of the essay contest. LaRaia said it was “humbling” to meet the winner of the previous year’s essay contest, as well as the runners-up for

this year’s race who had their own stories of overcoming struggles. LaRaia and Dee are hoping to run in the Anna’s Angels Foundation’s 10-Miler Sept. 27 in Durham. The foundation supports research for Down Syndrome.

fumbles. That often continued long after the play was seemingly over. Combine that with the aggressive hitting style of the defense, and tempers grew short. Running back DeAngelo Williams, back after missing a couple of days with a toe injury, felt linebacker James Anderson gave him an unnecessary shot after he pulled up on a play. That led to one of the brief shoving matches. There were several mostly light conversations about the tactics between players from both sides of the ball after an 11-on-11 drill ended. Williams, receiver Muhsin Muhammad were the most vocal on offense.

Cornerback Richard Marshall and safety Chris Harris represented the defense. “It’s a combative game and we’re trying to develop habits on both sides of the ball,” Fox said. “Get the ball out and take it away defensively, and hold onto it on offense.”

LaRAIA, from page 1B push myself to do more,” LaRaia added. “You still got something in you — that’s a good feeling.” LaRaia credited good weather — it was sunny, but he said he didn’t think the temperature hit 80 degrees — and more preparation for the difference in times. But someone else deserves credit too.

“My wife pushes me,” he said. “When we’re out running, she pushes me to run a little harder.” LaRaia said he was impressed with the crowd turnout, as well as the support he received from those in attendance. “The crowd along the way is just super.” “Of course, when they see me, the volume gets

BRAVES, from page 1B raged when Cristian Guzman followed with a single — stretching his hitting streak to 16 games but failing to produce a run. Hitting coach Rick Eckstein began yelling from the dugout and was ejected. He charged onto

the field to carry on the argument and had to be restrained by manager Jim Riggleman. After that brouhaha, the Braves pulled ahead for good in the bottom half. Martin Prado doubled in a run and wound up scor-

PANTHERS, from page 1B on their plate, it’s good. We’ll see. It’s competition, man.” FOX’S RUNAROUND: Coach John Fox provided no detail and conflicting answers on when Smith might return. At one point Fox said Smith was “day-to-day” not “week-to-week.” That could mean a return sometime in the preseason. Then Fox had this exchange with reporters when asked if he expected Smith to play in an exhibition game: “I’m sure he’ll be ready at some point — in the preseason,” Fox said. When a reporter began asking another question, Fox added yet another caveat.

“Now whether we play him or not (in the preseason), I don’t know that yet,” he said. BEST PRACTICE: Tuesday’s lone practice had three skirmishes between players, plenty of jawing and high intensity. Fox thought it was great. “I complimented them,” he said. “I thought it was our best practice to date. ... We’re learning how to compete and push each other — and doing it as respectfully as possible — so that we all get better.” Much of the tension was created by defensive coordinator Ron Meeks’ insistence that his players slap and pull at the ball to try to cause

C-USA, from page 1B After finishing with five consecutive wins, Southern Miss expects to pick right back up with three of the league’s most dynamic offensive players — running back Damion Fletcher, wide receiver DeAndre Brown and quarterback Austin Davis. The West race featured the nation’s No. 1 and 2 offenses — Tulsa and Hous-

ton — last season. With Keenum leading the way, Houston will likely be up there again. The Cougars averaged 562 yards per game last season. Tulsa, 11-3 last year, will be trying to replace one of the nation’s top quarterbacks for the second year in a row. David Johnson passed for 4,059 yards and 46 touchdowns after taking

over for Paul Smith. Coach Todd Graham is expecting similar production from Johnson’s successor — early leader G.J. Kinne is competing with two others for the job. He won’t be making many changes. “If we do, we’re not very smart,” Graham said. “We’ve been the No. 1 offense in the nation the last two years.”

BoSox, Tigers tangle; Indians blank Rangers Red Sox 7, Tigers 5 BOSTON (AP) — Boston Red Sox third baseman Kevin Youkilis charged the mound after being hit with a pitch, throwing his helmet and tackling Detroit pitcher Rick Porcello before both benches and bullpens poured onto the field. Youkilis and Porcello were ejected from Tuesday night’s game in the second inning, and Porcello turned back to scream at the umpire as he left the field. Red Sox starter Junichi Tazawa hit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera in the hand in the first inning. In the bottom half, Porcello threw inside to Boston first baseman Victor Martinez, who took a few menacing steps toward the mound before returning to the batter’s box. Youkilis was also hit by a pitch on Monday night. Red Sox manager Terry Francona was ejected later in the inning for arguing about a play at second base. The hostilities had been brewing since Monday night, when Cabrera was hit in the top of the fourth and Youkilis was plunked in the bottom half; Detroit’s Brandon Inge was hit in the eighth. The game was delayed in the sixth due to rain, but it finished shortly before The Dispatch went to press. Mike Lowell and Jason Bay homered for Boston in the win. Yankees 7, Blue Jays 5 NEW YORK (AP) — Hideki Matsui and Jorge Posada hit back-to-back homers leading off the eighth inning and New York beat Toronto 7-5 on Tuesday night for its eighth win in nine games.

Bulls fall into second with 5-4 loss Special to the Dispatch

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. — John Jaso’s homer in the seventh off the right field foul pole gave Durham a 4-1 lead, but the Braves scored in their final three at-bats, and beat the Bulls 5-4. After taking the first two games of this fourgame series, Gwinnett is one game ahead of the Bulls in the South Division. It’s the first time the Bulls have trailed since the All-Star Break. The Braves got within

4-2 in the seventh on an RBI groundout by Wes Timmmons, that was set up by a leadoff error, Durham’s fourth of the night. In the eighth, Winston Abreu (3-1), Durham’s fourth pitcher, came on for a two-inning save. He allowed the first four batters to reach on two walks and two singles, and got out of the inning with just one run having scored. However, Abreu, had to throw 24 pitches in that frame, and one pitch into the ninth, Reid Gorecki homered to left, his ninth

(and fourth hit of the night) to tie the score. After Timmons lined out to third, Brandon Jones, robbed of a homer in the first inning by Desmond Jennings, hit a walk-off blast to right for the 5-4 victory. It was the first blown save of the season for Abreu, and he had allowed only one homer all year before the ninth inning. The late rally spoiled a super effort by Calvin Medlock and Julio DePaula, who allowed only one run in six innings

with Carlos Hernandez unable to make his start due to a finger injury. Durham had a 3-0 lead on RBI singles in the second by Ray Olmedo and Desmond Jennings and a sac fly in the third from Elliot Johnson. Durham will look to move back into a firstplace tie with Gwinnett on Wednesday at 7 p.m. as Jason Cromer takes the mound against JoJo Reyes in a battle of lefties. The game can be heard on 99.9 the Fan ESPN Radio.

Jimmy Rollins also homered for the Phillies, who won for just the fourth time in 12 games and remained 3 1/2 games ahead of Florida in the NL East. The Cubs have lost five of six. Francisco, acquired from Cleveland in the July 29 trade that also included star left-hander Cliff Lee, lined a 1-1 pitch from Gregg (4-4) into the basket that hangs over the left-field fence.

Good Taste

FAMILY FEATURES

W

ant to take a vacation in the tropics? Look no further than the kitchen for an island-style escape. Let the fresh, delicious flavor of mango and onion enhance the meal and help transport you and your dinner guests on a taste adventure without ever leaving home.

Onion Facts �

Onions add the perfect combination of flavor and nutrition to any dish.

Yellow, red and white onions from the U.S. are available year round. Fresh onions are available from March to August. Storage onions, harvested in early fall, are marketed the remainder of the year.

Chopped or sliced onions can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

To reduce tears when cutting onions, use a sharp, straight-edge knife. Refrigerating an onion about 30 minutes prior to cutting will also lessen the chemical reaction that causes tears.

Choose fresh onions with thin, light-colored skins free of spots or blemishes. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location.

For more recipes and information go to www.onions-usa.org.

Mango Facts �

Mangos are a year-round source of the naturally sweet, refreshing taste of the tropics.

Mangos contain more than 20 different vitamins and minerals, are a good source of dietary fiber, and are an excellent source of vitamins C and A, both important antioxidant nutrients.

To determine ripeness, squeeze the mango gently. A ripe mango should give slightly, but not be too soft.

To ripen firm mangos, store at room temperature. They will continue to ripen and become sweeter and softer over several days.

Once ripe, store mangos in the refrigerator for up to five days.

Learn more about this tantalizing tropical treat at www.mango.org.

Today’s answer

HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21-April 19). The only one limiting your experience is you. Since you’ll likely get exactly what you expect, it wouldn’t hurt to raise your expectations. Want more, ask for more and accept more. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Being turned down for anything whatsoever will be lucky for you. You’re learning not to give up — ever. You’ll have a flash of insight this afternoon that helps you walk right through a previously closed door. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve got money on your mind. If you had twice as much of it, it wouldn’t double your joy. Twice as much creativity, however, will make you both wealthy and happy. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In order to feed your soul, you have to know what kind of food it requires. You’ll get a better idea about that as you hear suggestions this afternoon that stimulate your “appetite.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You deserve respect. Don’t settle for less than the quality of attention you deserve. Nip a problem in the bud. Make sure you’re being listened to and heard. Go where your input is best appreciated. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Push against your perceived limits. Make mistakes, and when you do, be proud of yourself. If you’re not failing at something, you’re not operating at full capacity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re not timid about romance. You have a solid instinct about what

others might enjoy and what they are looking for. Act on your social whims. Your invitations will be well received. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve done a few things in your life that you didn’t enjoy at the time, but somehow sensed that you should do them anyway. That’s how a person builds character. Good things come to you because of who you are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re one of a kind. You think you can’t possibly be that unique, but you are. You’re seeing the world differently than anyone else is seeing it. If someone says it can’t be done, take that as your invitation to do it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You could use a few new helpers. There’s more work to do around the house than you can handle and that is even truer of your work situation. Affirm that you’ll attract only the best and brightest. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are two kinds of chaos: the kind you can control (and you do so very well) and the kind you can’t (no matter how hard you may try). You’ll recognize the difference and walk away from the second kind. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve been there for yourself all along, sometimes as a friend and other times as an enemy. Get back on friendly terms with yourself now with a little sweet talk in the mirror and at least one other gesture of kindness.
