Vance asked to stop killing cats at shelter By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer
Activist Margaret Peck asked the Board of Commissioners recently to “move towards stopping the killing” of cats at the Vance County Animal Control facility. She also wanted an immediate moratorium to be placed on the killing of healthy, already spayed/neutered cats by the department. After Peck finished criticizing the County’s treatment of feral and stray cats, she got a

Citizen complaints of drug activity at a city business have led to the arrest of two men, Henderson Police Chief Keith L. Sidwell said. The department’s Narcotics Unit executed a search warrant on Aug. 14 at Owens Auto Repair, 335 Hamilton St., and found “a substantial amount of crack cocaine” packaged for sale, Sidwell said. The search also turned up drug paraphernalia and cash. Quincy Lamont “Wink”
Early College High named N.C. ‘School of Distinction’ From STAFF REPORTS
He and Zenaida Derry, 54, married in 1983, with Zenaida Derry having come to Maryland from the Philippines at the start of the 1980s. He and Zenaida Derry have been in Oxford since 1991.

In late July, preliminary measures of Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for the federal No Child Left Behind program showed that six of 16 Vance County schools had met all their goals for the 2008-09 academic year. But after all the final numbers were reviewed by the State Board of Education and released on Aug. 5, the news was better for the local district. Three more schools made their way above the line and onto the list of those schools in North Carolina that fully met AYP goals. And in North Carolina ABC results, released for the first time this month, one local school — Vance County Early College High — has been named a “North Carolina School of Distinction.” Six others are considered “schools of progress.” In the preliminary federal AYP numbers, Aycock (21 goals), Clark Street (13), New Hope (13), E.O. Young Jr. (13), E.M. Rollins (15) and Zeb Vance (17) elementary schools all met 100 percent of their goals for improvement. But several other Vance schools came almost agonizingly close. Dabney Elementary had met 16 of its 17 goals, Eaton-Johnson Middle School 24 of 25 and Henderson Middle 28 out of 29 goals. While Dabney and HMS were not moved up during the State Board review, EJMS was, and entered the ranks of schools that had met 100 percent of AYP. Two other schools — Western Vance and Early College High, the latter of which is a new program meeting at Vance-Granville Community College — have enrollments that are too low to be measured under the usual state standards, which require the

Ceremony marks girls’ adoption, citizenship Parents wanted more than just paperwork By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer
OXFORD — An Oxford couple, in a ceremony in the Granville County Superior Courtroom, adopted three children from the Philippines. Jeffrey Derry and his Philippine-born wife, Zenaida, had decided they wanted a bit more than something passing over an official’s desk. So, on Friday afternoon, Superior Court Clerk Jo Ann Averette presided from the judicial bench and signed the documents, meaning Yurika Derry, 16, Ainha Derry, 13, and Aivy Derry, 8, are not only now part of the Derry family, but additionally are U.S. citizens. Mayor Pro Tem Howard Herring extended the welcome on behalf of Oxford’s municipal government. City Commissioner Bob Shope gave brief remarks on the meaning of being a U.S. citizen and a minister, Steve Bolton of Oxford Baptist Church, read from scripture.

Granville County United Way staff and volunteers are gearing up to kick off their fall campaign. “United Way has long been recognized for its fundraising, but we are about much more than raising money. We are the place that people turn to when they need help,” said Brenda Dickerson-Daniel, executive director. “Throughout its history, the overall vision, mission and goal of Granville County United Way has been focused upon serving and supporting the quality of life in our community.” This year, the United Way has set a community goal of $350,000. The 2009-2010 campaign cochairpersons, Joe Gonenc and John Mainey, cited the effect of local and state economies on the fundraising efforts at Granville County United Way. “As with similar non-profit organizations, giving to the Granville County United Way has decreased over the past few years. Unfortunately, reduced giving results in reduced allocations to local agencies. As such, the Granville County United Way allocations chairs, local volunteers and members thoroughly reviewed the types of programs and groups the United Way should fund with its reduced

20-year-old daughter who is a university student. And a sister of Zenaida Derry’s additionally lives at the Derry residence, located in the Meadowbrook subdivision of Oxford. Jeffrey Derry recalled his wife, after returning from a visit with family members in the Philippines in 2006, having something to tell him. “And I thought, ‘Oh my God, she wants a divorce. She met another honey or something’,” he said with a laugh. That was when his wife told him of having met Yurika and, with photographs in hand, of wanting to adopt her. He got onto the Internet and found out about Christian Adoption Services, which is in Matthews just southeast of Charlotte. He said the agency is the only one in North Carolina authorized to work with the Philippine government. He said he contacted the agency’s
executive director, Jim Woodward, who said this sounded like a doable case. And Derry said Woodward told him that because the mother had nine children, he might want to look into adopting more, resulting in the effort to additionally take in Ainha and Aivy. Derry said the three girls are his wife’s great nieces. And Derry said what followed was much procedure for him and his wife, including having to undergo background checks and a psychological examination. In September 2008, the three girls received a U.S. visa and the Derry couple immediately left for Manila, where the two spent three weeks bonding with the girls before bringing them back to Oxford. The three girls’ mother resides in Japan. On Friday afternoon, the three girls’ Philippine citizenship ended.
performance of at least 40 students to be measured for each targeted goal. Considered “special evaluation schools,” neither was given a preliminary AYP result, but after the State Board review, both were determined to have met all AYP goals for 2008-09, raising Vance County’s total to nine of 16 schools. In addition to Dabney and HMS, which each missed AYP by only one goal, Carver Elementary and Pinkston Street Elementary each met 10 of 13 goals and L.B. Yancey Elementary met 12 of 15. Northern and Southern Vance high schools fared worst. Northern met 10 of 19 goals and Southern nine of 17.
In other AYP news, the final review also determined that Vance Schools as a district met federal expectations in reading proficiency growth both in grades 3 through 5 and in grades 6 through 8.

life is to be an American citizen,” Shope said. Shope noted the many who are trying to get into the U.S., noted those dying in the military for the freedoms in the U.S. and noted what is taken for granted: “The American flag, our church, our freedom to read a Bible, so many other things — and dreams, the freedom to pursue our dreams.” “I could go on and on, but one of the great things we have the right to do is to adopt,” Shope said. Shope, like Jeffrey Derry, is a member of Oxford Baptist Church. Derry’s wife said she goes to both the Baptist and Catholic churches. Sheriff Brin Wilkins opened and closed the ceremony, which was attended by state Rep. Jim Crawford, D-Granville.

Lacson, who came from the Philippines not knowing anyone, said that the Derry family has been kind to her and that the three girls “are truly in very good hands.” After Averette declared that all of the requirements for the adoption of the trio had been met, she told them, “You’re very special girls and I’m so proud and feel very honored to be a part of this ceremony. Congratulations.” After Aivy led the pledge of allegiance to the American flag, Shope welcomed the trio. “A person asked me once what I would like to be best in life.

Vets offered van service to VA Medical Center By DAVID IRVINE Daily Dispatch Writer
Disabled veterans who need transportation to the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Durham have a new resource available to them. That “resource” is a sevenpassenger van, decorated with patriotic colors and symbols. Collaboration between the medical center, Disabled American Veterans Chapter 21 in Durham, the state DAV and the local DAV Auxiliary made it possible to purchase the van to make the Henderson-Durham run on an as-needed basis. Phyllis Maynard, DAV Chapter 21 Service Officer who coordinates the local effort, says that city and county officials, especially Henderson Police Chief Keith Sidwell and Vance County Emergency Director Brian Short, have been very helpful in establishing the service. Sidwell agreed to allow the van to make its “home” in the department’s parking lot. Transportation from Henderson to the Durham VA Medical Center had started in 1987 but was interrupted in 2005 when the local DAV chapter lost its charter. Since then, veterans have had to scramble to keep their appointments at the medical center. Obtaining a van was only the first barrier to be overcome in re-establishing the service. A second hurdle was to find drivers. Over

CATS, from page one would be found for them, Peck said, the woman called back three days later to ask how the cats were adjusting. “Oh, we euthanized her on Saturday,” was the reply. “This is a typical and old-news story for people who follow the Vance County Animal Control facility goings-on,” Peck said. “This epitomizes betrayal.” Peck told the board that what happened “implies blatant misrepresentation to Vance County citizens of what the Vance County Animal Control ‘Shelter’ is. Each of you, as commissioners, is responsible for this.” She also mentioned taming, feeding, watering and petting Honey Bun until the healthy feral cat happened to turn up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Peck said Honey Bun “was trapped by Vance County Animal Control and killed on Day 4 before I could connect the dots. My intention was to bail her out of jail.

She expressed concern about public access areas such as trailer parks, strip malls, apartment complexes and recycling centers, as well as abandoned businesses and residences. “I am not talking about privately owned residences, rural or municipal,” she added.

Perhaps some day, each township would establish a spacious sanctuary for spayed/neutered cats.” Contact the writer at awheless@hendersondispatch.com.
B-17 bomber flights offered at 3 N.C. airports SANFORD (AP) — If you’ve always wanted to fly on a B-17 bomber without going to war, your chance has arrived — provided you have a spare $430. A nonprofit group that has turned one of the handful of remaining B-17s into a flying museum is offering flights this weekend on the bomber that it named the “Liberty Belle.” The plane will be at the Sanford-Lee County Regional Airport this weekend. Passengers can take 30-minute rides from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Reservations are recommended. The plane will make two more stops in North Carolina. It will be at Smith-Reynolds Airport in
Winston-Salem on Aug. 2223, and at Concord Regional Airport on Aug. 29-30. The foundation says the fare doesn’t cover the cost of keeping the plane in the air.

Drake’s Pa. oil well idea changed world By DAN NEPHIN Associated Press Writer
TITUSVILLE, Pa. — The oil boom that began 150 years ago in this small northwestern Pennsylvania town changed the world and made countless people rich, but not the man who found the way to extract black gold from the earth. Edwin Laurentine Drake died an invalid, confined to a wheelchair and virtually penniless. In his later years, he relied on the goodwill of friends and a state pension given late in life to recognize the millions of dollars in tax revenue Pennsylvania made from his drilling method. “As they say, sometimes the good we do benefits others and not ourselves because he certainly benefited others from his work,” said William Brice, a University of Pittsburgh professor emeritus, author of a book on Drake and the early oil industry. His “Myth, Legend, Reality, Edwin L. Drake and the Early Oil Industry” will be published this year. Drake’s genius was to drive pipe into the ground so debris wouldn’t clog the drill hole. On Aug. 27, 1859, the method proved successful when his driller struck oil 69 1/2 feet below ground. Brice said he’s sure that, while Drake didn’t invent the concept, he came up with it independently. Drake, who had no drilling or engineering background, had been hired by the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Co. to oversee drilling primarily because he was a retired railroad conductor and could ride trains for free, thereby saving the company money. He’d been forced to retire in

He was given the title colonel to impress Titusville residents. The presence of oil around Titusville, then a lumber town of several hundred people, had long been known. Native Americans used it for medicinal purposes, and by the mid-19th century, it was being refined into kerosene for lamp oil. But extracting it proved vexing. Early efforts involved digging trenches along Oil Creek or collecting it from seeps in the ground. Drake’s early effort brought ridicule and was known derisively as “Drake’s folly,” as townsfolk doubted it would work. Eventually, he hired “Uncle” Billy Smith, an experienced saltwater driller from Tarentum, near Pittsburgh. They started drilling in early August 1859. They drove pipe 49 feet into the ground until they struck bedrock and began percus-

sion drilling — using a steam engine to drive a heavy iron bit into the ground to break the rock. The work was slow going, just a couple of feet a day. On Aug. 27, they quit for the day. The next day was a Sunday, and Drake, a devout Episcopalian, did not work. Smith stopped by the well and saw liquid. He lowered a can down the well and pulled up oil. Soon, the valley sprouted scores of derricks. The oil boom was on. “I don’t think he fully appreciated what he had done,” Brice said of Drake. “Others around him did, but I really don’t get the feeling that Drake fully appreciated it.” Drake, hired at $1,000 a year, wasn’t paid for more than two years, when the company let him go in June 1860 and paid him $2,167. Later business ventures failed, Brice said, and by 1866, Drake was essentially destitute. That May, he wrote a friend asking for money. “If you have any of the milk of human kindness left in your bosom for me
or my family send me some money. I am in want of it sadly and I am sick,” Drake wrote. His health continued to decline. Brice believes Drake may have had multiple sclerosis. Doctors recommended moving to New Jersey, thinking the sea air would do him good. His wife supported their family by sewing dresses and taking in boarders. On a trip to New York in 1869, Drake ran into Zebulon Martin, a friend from Titusville, who barely recognized him. Martin bought him a meal and gave him $20, then returned to Titusville to take up a collection for his friend. “Martin really felt so bad for Drake because everybody else was getting rich and Drake was starving, literally starving,” Brice said. With the money raised, Drake moved to Bethlehem, Pa., so he could seek treatment at a mineral springs health resort. But the resort closed. “Again, he just couldn’t get a break,” Brice said. In 1873, the state granted Drake a life pension of $1,500 a year, writing that his successful oil drilling method “added directly to the commonwealth more than $1 million since the discovery, which also continues to add large yearly sums” to the state’s coffers. Drake died in November 1880 in Bethlehem. The location of Drake’s well is now a museum and a National Historic Landmark. The well hole still exists, but the original wooden derrick and pump house burned down a couple months after he struck oil. The replacement derrick was used for Centennial International Exhibition of 1876 in Philadelphia. A replica built in 1945 stands in its place.

N.C. cops who helped nab killer honored GASTONIA (AP) — The three North Carolina police officers who put an abrupt end to a South Carolina man’s killing spree have been honored for their bravery. The Gaston Gazette reports that Gaston County Police officers Graham Kuzia, Jim Shaw and Kathryn Williamson received commendations during a
ceremony Thursday. The three officers responded to an abandoned home in Gastonia, N.C., on July 6 after a neighbor reported suspicious activity. During an exchange of gunfire, they shot and killed 41-year-old Patrick Burris. Authorities found evidence that linked Burris to five people shot and killed
30 mile away, in Cherokee County, S.C., between June 27 and July 2.

'64 civil rights worker N.C. man shot by police killings suspect dies after refusing to drop guns JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Federal authorities will continue to investigate the 1964 Mississippi killings of three civil rights workers — a case that helped pass landmark legislation — despite the death of a key suspect, the Justice Department says. Billy Wayne Posey, 73, died Thursday. Federal investigators were looking into his possible involvement in the June 21, 1964, killings of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, who had been working to register black voters. Posey’s funeral was Saturday in Philadelphia, Miss., the town at the heart of the case. On Friday afternoon, Alejandro Miyar, a spokesman for the Justice Department, said the death does not “alter our cold-case investigation.” He said federal authorities are assisting state investigators who could bring state charges. Goodman’s brother, David Goodman, of New York City, said, “This is still the country of law and order, and the laws are clear. There is no statute of limitations on murder.” The slayings shocked the nation, helped spur passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 and were dramatized in the 1988 movie “Mississippi Burning.”
In the summer of 1964, hundreds of FBI agents investigated the trio’s disappearance, leading to the discovery of their bodies buried 15 feet beneath an earthen dam. In 1967, 18 men went on trial for conspiring to violate the civil rights of the three victims, and seven of them were convicted. One of the seven, former Neshoba County Sheriff’s Deputy Cecil Price, told authorities before his 2001 death that he told Posey in 1964 he had just jailed the three civil rights workers on a traffic charge and asked Posey to get in contact with Edgar Ray Killen, who helped to orchestrate the killings. The only murder prosecution took place in 2005 when a Neshoba County jury convicted Killen, a reputed Ku Klux Klan leader, on three counts of manslaughter. He is serving 60 years in prison. Civil rights activists have been pushing for more murder charges. Authorities have said at least four suspects remain alive. In a 2000 statement, Posey told investigators there were “a lot of persons involved in the murders that did not go to jail” but he did not identify them.

Families mourn hundreds of Taiwan typhoon victims By PETER ENAV Associated Press Writer

Japanese Imperial Navy veterans and costumed men march Saturday in Tokyo, Japan, as they pay respects to the war dead at the Yasukuni Shrine, marking the 64th anniversary of the end of World War II.
Japanese prime minister voices deep regret over WWII suffering Remarks made on anniversary of surrender TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s prime minister expressed deep regret over the suffering his country inflicted on Asian countries during World War II in a solemn ceremony Saturday that marked the 64th anniversary of Tokyo’s surrender. Prime Minister Taro Aso joined some 4,800 bereaved families to pay respect to 3.1 million Japanese war dead — 2.3 million Aso soldiers and 800,000 civilians — at the Nihon Budokan hall in Tokyo. Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko also attended the ceremony, leading a one-minute silence at noon. “Our country inflicted tremendous damage and suffering on many countries, particularly people in Asia. As a representa-
tive of the Japanese people, I humbly express my remorse for the victims, along with deep regret,” Aso said in a speech at the nationally televised ceremony. The prime minister vowed that Japan would never repeat the tragedy. Emperor Akihito — whose father Hirohito announced Japan’s surrender in a radio broadcast on Aug. 15, 1945 — said he hoped Japan would never again wage a war. “I mourn for those who died in the war and pray for world peace and further development of Japan,” the 75-year-old emperor said in a speech. Before the ceremony, Aso laid flowers at the secular Chidorigafuchi National Cemetery, where the remains of victims of World War II are laid to rest. The prime minister did not attend a controversial war shrine located near the national cemetery. Yasukuni Shrine honors 2.5 million Japanese soldiers who died in wars from the late 1800s until 1945, including convicted war criminals.
Pacifists and the victims of Japanese aggression abhor Yasukuni as a glorification of past militarism and a symbol of Japan’s conquest in Asia, including the invasion and occupation of China and Korea. From 2001 to 2006, then Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi’s repeated visits to Yasukuni strained relations with China and South Korea, who denounced the act as a sign that Japan had failed to fully atone for invasions and atrocities. Koizumi again visited the Yasukuni Shrine on Saturday. Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and some 40 lawmakers also went there. Of 17 ministers in Aso’s Cabinet, only Consumer Affairs Minister Seiko Noda went to the shrine. At the shrine, 50 white doves were set free. Former war veterans peacefully marched. “The memory of the war is fading. So I am trying very hard to pass the story of our generation to the younger generation,” said 82-year-old former naval officer Shiratake Kuribayashi.
SHIAO LIN, Taiwan — Family members holding photos of the dead picked their way through the ruins of a landslide-flattened village Saturday where hundreds were killed in Taiwan’s worst typhoon in a half-century. A few dozen people came to Shiao Lin, which lost more than half its population, to hold a simple ceremony that many believe has the power to bring back the souls of the dead. “Can you hear me?” one woman called to her grandchild in footage from AP Television News. “I’m calling your name. Please come back.” Some 380 people were killed in Shiao Lin after Typhoon Morakot pummeled the island last weekend, causing tons of earth to crash down from the surrounding mountains. More than 500 people died in southern and central Taiwan, President Ma Ying-jeou said Friday. On Saturday, the president offered his first apology in response to mounting criticism that the government was too slow to respond to the disaster. “We could have responded faster and better, but we didn’t. We are sorry about that,” Ma told reporters. In Shiao Lin, only two buildings in the entire village were left standing, a small brick home and a tiny temple. Survivors walked back and forth across the bare

Family members of the deceased come to the site Saturday of the major landslide from Typhoon Morakot that destroyed the mountain village of Shiao Lin in southern Taiwan. ground, stopping to light incense sticks and burn paper money for the dead. A monk rang a small bell, which people believe will help the souls of the dead find their way home. “My parents, my brothers, my uncles, altogether 40 members of my family were killed,” said Liu Jinfung, a man who appeared to be in his 40s. “The flood came so quickly, and there’s nothing left.” ETTV news station showed one unidentified man calling out for his parents. “Your useless son is here. Come back! Come back!” he man shouted, falling on his knees. Large boulders were scattered where houses once stood, and streams of mud continued to flow down the mountainsides. Helicopters flew overhead on their way to rescue survivors from nearby areas. A few miles away, a similar memorial service was held. Local TV showed survivors crying, holding each other tightly, and lighting sticks of incense to
honor family and friends who died. Morakot dumped more than 80 inches of rain on the island and stranded thousands in villages in the mountainous south. A total of 15,400 villagers were ferried to safety and rescuers were working to save another 1,900 people. The storm destroyed the homes of 7,000 people and caused agricultural and property damage in excess of $1.5 billion, according to government estimates. Millions of dollars have been raised for the relief efforts, including $15.34 million from a televised Taiwanese fundraiser attended by Jet Li and other stars on Friday. Taiwan has also accepted foreign aids from several countries, including Singapore and Israel. The United States has given Taiwan $250,000 and offered to send helicopters for relief efforts. Pope Benedict XVI has also donated $50,000 and offered the storm victims a prayer, said Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Bahamas debates outlawing marital rape NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Lawmakers are debating a bill that would make marital rape a crime in the Bahamas, overturning the current system in which consent to sexual intercourse is presumed in a legal marriage. Legislator Loretta ButlerTurner, who drafted the bill, said the attitude that wives are subordinate to husbands has put some women at risk of violence in the socially conservative archipelago. “There is a constituency of our community that is not protected against rape,” she said. “That is the bottom line.”
Under current Bahamian law, a man can be charged with raping his wife only if the two are in divorce proceedings or living apart. The bill already has caused debate on radio talk shows, with some islanders saying women could file false rape charges as leverage for alimony, child support or custody. Others have said the bill contradicts traditional Christian values. Sandra Dean-Patterson, director of a nonprofit group that provides services to victims of abuse, defended the proposal, saying such a law
would be an important step forward. “It says that our nation will no longer condone violence in the family. If you have to force your husband or your wife to be sexual, something is wrong with the relationship,” she said. The government is organizing a series of forums to get comments from the public. The proposed law would allow a judge to decide the penalty for marital rape. People currently convicted of rape face a maximum sentence of life in prison.

moon from meeting with Suu Kyi during a two-day visit. Webb arrived in Myanmar’s capital, Naypyitaw, on Friday, just days after the world condemned the ruling generals for convicting Suu Kyi of violating the terms of her house arrest by allowing Yettaw to stay at her home for two days. Activists have complained that the visit — the first by a member of the U.S. Congress in more than a decade — conferred legitimacy on a brutal regime, but the Obama administration gave the Virginia Democrat its blessing. Webb, a highly decorated Vietnam War veteran, is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s East Asia and Pacific Affairs Subcommittee. Yettaw, who is to fly out with Webb on a military aircraft bound for Bangkok on Sunday, was being held at Insein prison, notorious for torture of political prisoners and ordinary criminals. Yettaw’s lawyer said his client, who suffers from epileptic seizures and other ailments, had been well treated. Associated Press writer Foster Klug contributed to this report from Washington.

Acreage with rare plants in preserve
Nation
Sunday, August 16, 2009
As farmers age, plans match aspirants with pros By SHARON COHEN AP National Writer
SHAWSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Land in Montgomery County that hosts several rare plants is Virginia’s 58th Natural Area Preserve. The New River Land Trust said Friday the property’s owners, Mary and Ron Rordam, placed an easement on 235 acres known as Sweet Springs to protect its globally rare woodlands. The land is home to rare species that include Cooper’s milkvetch and Addison’s leatherflower, which is found only in Virginia. State Department of Conservation and Recreation Director Joseph Maroon says the designation is reserved for the sAtate’s most significant areas. The state and the land trust will hold the easement. They received a $110,000 Virginia Land Conservation Foundation grant to protect the site.
RICHLAND, Iowa — He quit his job and drove his wife and their four young daughters across country, a 21st-century pioneer lured to these faraway farm fields by the promise of a life-changing deal with an older stranger. Isaac Phillips always wanted to be a farmer. But when he revealed his plans to some friends and colleagues at the Utah jail where he supervised inmate work crews, they said: a) don’t give up a steady job, b) you’re making a big mistake, c) it’s a crazy idea. Phillips knew the business he was plunging into was risky, that there were no guarantees for him in the Iowa hills. And yet, the family moved more than 1,000 miles. “I thought I may never get a chance like this in After fatal fire, N.Y. my life,” Phillips says, two mom charged with years into his new risewith-the-rooster career. “I leaving kids alone knew there was no way I ROCHESTER, N.Y.

In this July 23 photo, farmers Isaac Phillips, left, and John Adam process hogs in a confinement building in Richland, Iowa. windburned teacher — are working together on Adam’s farm. One day, if all goes well, Phillips hopes to call part of this land his own. This is farm matchmaking, a down payment on the future of rural America. It’s an increasingly popular idea across the country as a growing number of states try to pump fresh blood into graying fields. Farmers are getting older and working later in life: The average age rose to 57 (from 55) and the ranks of the 75-and-up set increased by 20 percent from 2002 to 2007, according to a recent survey. Meanwhile, the number of those younger than 25 has dropped by nearly a third. The high cost of getting started is intimidating, even for farming enthusi-
asts such as Phillips. So what to do? Pair the two generations in special programs. Aspiring farmers then don’t have to dig themselves into a half-million dollar hole to launch their careers and can hook up with a farmer in his 50s, 60s, or 70s who can plan ahead. Ideally, the older farmers won’t have heirs who want to follow in their footsteps. If their personalities mesh, the two can become partners. Later, the hope is the established farmer will sell, rent or make some other arrangement that keeps the younger one on the land. There’s a broader goal, too: Save the family farm. And a bonus: Put more kids in rural schools, pour more money into Main
Street, preserve small towns. No one sees this as THE solution for stemming the exodus in rural America. And no one believes that turning over a farm is a let’s-shake-hands-andclose-the-deal proposition. It takes five to 10 years, maybe more. Even then, there often are financial and emotional minefields. But Dave Baker, the dedicated farm matchmaker at Iowa State Universi-
ty who united Phillips and Adam, is a true believer. It’s his job to connect fresh-faced wannabes from all over the country with Iowa farmers preparing for retirement — or merely pondering it. “You’re not going to take it with you,” he tells the established farmers. “You can’t place the dirt in the coffin. ... Who else is going to have it? The highest bidder? How does that affect your community? How does it affect your family name? What do you want your legacy to be?” With Iowa having lost about a quarter of its farms in the last three decades, it’s no surprise the matchmaking idea ha taken root here — though several other states are trying similar approaches. In Oregon, a program started this spring that reaches out to aspiring farmers and those leaving agriculture, looking for possible partners. In Virginia, an online database tries to hook up the two generations. In Nebraska, there’s a match program and tax breaks for farmers who rent to beginners. And in Washington state, a nonprofit group has 300 people eager to start (mostly organic) farming, and 65 landowners looking to give someone a try.

Unity goal as modern South marks Civil War’s 150th Howell said. In Maryland, Bill Pencek, the director of heritage tourism, says sesquicentennial events will highlight diverse viewpoints on the war, a departure from centennial observances that mainly honored Confederate veterans. First activities will commemorate an event that helped ignite the war — John Brown’s raid on the U.S. arsenal at Harpers Ferry — launched from a farmhouse near Dargan, Md. Plans in South Carolina, where the war began, call for re-enacting the bombardment of Fort Sumter and also for the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation
By PHILLIP RAWLS Associated Press Writer
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — To mark the Civil War’s centennial 50 years ago, some whites donned Confederate uniforms or hoop skirts and paraded to sentimental notions of the Old South, partly in answer to the civil rights struggle exploding around them. Blacks quietly met apart to celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation. In Alabama, whites held beard-growing contests and mixed in speeches defying the federal government’s push for integration. “It was a safe haven to get nostalgic about the past,” said Kristopher Teters, author of “A Contested Path: Commemorating the Civil War in 1960s Alabama.” Half a century later, commemorations of the war’s 150th anniversary of the war’s start are shaping up to be multicultural and inclusive as a country takes new stock of its greatest domestic conflict. Fought from 1861 to 1865, the Civil War pitted northern and southern states against each other over slavery in the South and other issues. During the war, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared slaves in the South free. In planning for observances starting this year and continuing for at least two years, historians, scholars, artists and writers are reassessing the war with zeal, inviting fresh viewpoints on the reasons for the country’s harrowing slide into a conflict that dragged on for years, claiming more than 1 million lives. Witness the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, the state’s official theater, which has commissioned two plays for the 150th — one by a
to free local slaves when Beaufort was occupied by federal troops. Fifty years ago, Alabama’s Legislature created the Alabama Civil War Centennial Commission to organize celebrations. That commission sidestepped the issue of slavery, Teters said, and presented a romanticized version of the Civil War that hailed Southern troops as brave souls who soldiered on outnumbered and illequipped. People filled a large rodeo arena in Montgomery for a weeklong program recreating the birth of the Confederacy and Jefferson Davis’ inauguration as president there 100
years earlier. Those festivities came the same year white Southerners beat Freedom Riders for trying to desegregate buses across the region. With the 150th anniversary, many of the activities planned will acknowledge the 50th anniversary of the civil rights movement. “The focus should be more on understanding how these events made us what we are today,” Alabama State Archivist Ed Bridges said. Associated Press writers David Dishneau in Hagerstown, Md., Bruce Smith in Charleston, S.C., and Steve Szkotak in Richmond, Va., contributed to this report.

Geoffrey Sherman, producing artistic director at the festival, is himself an Englishman who knew little about the Civil War until he began gathering information for the two playwrights. He said both will use identical material about Montgomery in that period to produce their own take on those times. “They’ll write their own view of that material and of those people and then we are going to produce those plays back to back,” Sherman promised. In Virginia, more than 1,000 scholars and others have launched a series of
historical conferences to scrutinize the war. Little-heard perspectives are welcome and no subject is barred. One conference scheduled for next year: “Race, Slavery and the Civil War: The Tough Stuff of American History.” That more thoughtful approach will distinguish the state’s commemorations from those it held 50 years ago, said House Speaker William J. Howell, the chairman of Virginia’s Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission. A college student during the centennial observances, Howell said he recalls hearing the cannons during a re-enactment of the Battle of Manassas. “There’s an awful lot more to the war than just that,”

Our Opinion
Woodstock at 40 Whether you’re one of those folks who pines for the days when your life was more simple and free, or someone who was appalled at what went on there in 1969, it might be a little bit hard to believe this morning that it was a full 40 years ago today that the Woodstock Music & Art Fair’s second day was in full swing. The brainchild of men who initially were planing a retreat-style recording studio in the bucolic area, the concert was billed as “An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music.” After local government nixed first venue in Wallkill, N.Y. (which the planners had leased for $100,000) by refusing to issue a festival permit, it’s something of miracle the event happened at all. But through the offer of Elliot Tiber — a motel owner in Bethel, N.Y., who happened to already hold a music festival permit (for a chamber orchestra concert) — the venue shifted to a farm neaar that town; closest major community: Woodstock, about 43 miles away. “Woodstock Ventures” rented 600 acres on Max Yasgur’s farm for $75,000, and paid $25,000 to neighbors to use some of their space, too. Tickets originally were to cost $18 in advance (with 186,000 reportedly sold) and $24 at the gate, but when it became apparent that many thousands more people would attend, the organizers just decided to start letting everyone in for free. Many of the biggest acts of the day turned down offers to play at Woodstock. Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull and The Byrds all took a pass, some later to regret the choice. Other groups, some lesser-known, did appear at Woodstock and — in no small part due to the documentary film that emerged — their names performances have become immortal in the annals of rock music: Santana; Grateful Dead; Joan Baez; Arlo Guthrie; Sly and The Family Stone; Janice Joplin; Joe Cocker; Blood, Sweat and Tears; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; and the unmatched Jimi Hendrix were among the dozens of artists and groups who took the stage. Bethel residents and government opposed the show. Organizers told the town to expect 50,000 people after the change in venue, but roughly 10 times as many attended. Highways slowed to a crawl. Rain soaked the venue. Food ran short. Babies were supposedly born at the concert, while two people in attendance reportedly died (one of overdose, one run over by a tractor). Bethel voters turned out their town supervisor in the next election because he permitted the show to occur. But considering the size of the crowd, the impossibility of preparing for and controlling so many people, and all of the circumstances that conspired against the festival (traffic, rain, hunger, opposition), history tells us there were relatively few serious problems and almost everyone left Woodstock believing they’d had not only a great time but a life-changing experience. For years, Bethel rejected its role in American music and folk history. Farmers spread chicken manure on the grounds to keep visitors away on the anniversaries. Attempts to reinvent or relive Woodstock haven’t been as successful. Some have fostered violence. These are different times. But with 40 years of hindsight, it’s moving today to look back and recognize Woodstock as a defining moment in American history. For better or worse, we will never be the same.
Quotable “Betty is it. Not Veronica. This is serious.” — Dave Luebke, a comic book store owner in Richmond, Va., after hearing that after 67 years, the carrot-topped everyman of the comic world, Archie, was proposing to va-va-voomy rich girl Veronica instead of girl-next-door Betty. He decided to sell his copy of the series’ rare first issue in protest.
This column was originally published Aug. 31, 2003. This is a special time of year, as expressed so poetically in the lyrics to the haunting song “Summertime” from “Porgy and Bess”: “Summertime, and the livin’ is easy, “Fish are jumpin’ “And gettin’ lodged in the throats of fisherpersons.” Those lyrics are as true today as when they were first performed way back in a specific year that I plan to look up later. Just this June, according to an Associated Press article sent in by many alert readers, an angler who was angling near Macomb, Ill., had to be rushed to the hospital when a 4-inch bluegill became stuck in his esophagus. This incident raises some troubling questions, including: How come nobody names children “Porgy” anymore? Why is EVERY male child in America under the age of 7 named either Jacob or Matthew? But the most urgent question is: How did the bluegill get into the angler’s esophagus? The AP story explains that the angler “was playing with a bluegill in his mouth when it began squirming and lodged itself in his throat.” The angler recovered. Unfortunately, the fish — let us call him “Porgy” — went
to that Big Scum Pond in the Sky. But little Porgy’s tragic demise will not have been in vain if it results in the longoverdue passage of a federal law requiring the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to clearly stamp every fish with a label that says: “WARNDave ING! DO Barry NOT PLAY WITH Tribune Media THIS FISH Services IN YOUR MOUTH!” While we’re at it, we need a law requiring that all deceased starfish be clearly labeled: “DO NOT HEAT IN MICROWAVE.” I say this because of a homemakeradvice column called Ask Mrs. Oliver from the Eugene, Ore., Register-Guard, sent in by many alert readers, which includes the following homemaker letter, which I am not making up: “How do you remove an awful smell out of your microwave? I found a dead starfish on the beach and brought it home. It was very wet and I thought placing it in the microwave for a few minutes would help. The starfish ex-
ploded on my second attempt to dry it.” Both of these tragic incidents remind us that, although summer is a fun time, we must always remember that at any moment we could die or seriously damage an appliance. That’s why we need to remember our Summer Safety Basics, especially: WHAT TO DO ABOUT LIGHTNING The Encyclopedia Britannica tells us that lightning is “giant pieces of electricity that live inside clouds and periodically attack golfers.” The best way to avoid being struck is to stay away from areas where golfers might be present, such as sand traps, bars, recreation rooms, your office and the outdoors. If you, or someone you like, is struck by lightning, it is essential that you get hold of Parade magazine, which ran a feature on what to do in a lightning storm. Most of the tips were obvious — get indoors, don’t play with fish in your mouth, etc. But then, in a section on what to do if somebody is struck by lightning, Parade offered this advice: “If breathing stops, seek medical help at once.” Thanks, Parade! That tip could very well save a life, as we can see from the following verbatim transcript of a discussion between two fictional neighbors:
BOB: Fred? Sorry to bother you … FRED: No bother, Bob! I was just watching the Yankees game. BOB: Man, talk about a pitching staff. FRED: I know, but I worry about their middle relief. Anyway, what’s up? BOB: Well, Fred, I’m concerned about Marge. She stopped breathing, and I’m wondering if I should do anything. FRED: Hmmm. Wait a minute! Was Marge recently struck by lightning? BOB: Why, yes, Fred, she was, about 10 minutes ago. Come to think of it, that’s when she stopped breathing! FRED: Let me check my Parade magazine. … Yes, it says here that you should seek medical help at once. BOB: Medical help? Say, Fred, that’s a great suggestion! I’ll do it right after this inning. An unrealistic scenario, you say? True. In real life, Bob would have asked Fred about Bernie Williams’ knee injury. But this transcript does illustrate the importance of knowing your Summer Safety Basics, so that instead of moping around the funeral home, you can relax with a good summer book, such as the almanac, which tells us that “Porgy and Bess” was first performed in 1935.
Letters to the Editor Seniors have reason to be scared To the editor:
One hot, loud August If you’ve ever been fortunate enough to visit Washington, D.C. in August, you understand the custom of the federal government releasing all its high-profile delinquents back into their home communities and calling it recess. D.C. was built on a swamp, and walking around our Capital right now is like slogging through a sauna while wearing a lard-lined jogging suit made out of yak hair. But politicians seeking to escape the searing Beltway heat for some relative cool back home found themselves entering a bipartisan blast furnace of half truths and misguided indignation. It’s not only going to be a long, hot August — — it’s going to be a loud one. The scorching cacophony coming from town halls all over this great land of ours is getting hotter and shriller. Because as TV has taught us, louder is righter and Righter is Louder. And LOUDEST is RIGHTEST. They say that youth is wasted on the young, and after watching cable coverage of these staged outrages, you got to wonder if democracy might not be wasted on the dim. While the Democrats dismiss the protesters as angry, out-of-control mobs, the GOP maintains they’re just panicky citizens seeking honest discourse. So, as a compromise, we’ll call them panicky mobs. One problem is, a goodly portion of these panicky mobs is made up of conspiracy theorists convinced this is just another phase in our Kenyan-born president’s insidious plot to
destroy the United States of America. Something liberals never accused Bush of. Even when he was trying to. As every anti-war protest was distracted by gratingly sincere flippounits dressed as giant sea turtles, legitimate concerns about health Will care are beDurst ing hijacked by the blackDistributed by helicopter Cagle Cartoons crowd. Those post-libertarian types obsessed with getting big government not just out of their lives but out of everyone else’s lives. And rain. That’s no good either. Get rid of that, too. On the other hand, even stoned, crazed long-necked loons have genuine concerns about their physical well being. Most of us are afraid of our own doctors, for crum’s sake. Add in some stainless steel prods and procedures and providers and premiums and it can easily lead to combustive fasciculation. Which means blistered twitching. And now the plan is to throw a thousand-plus pages of bureaucratic fixes into the mix? And our leaders still don’t know why the populace is quivering like beads of water dancing across a pancake grill? Go fish. The question is: Why now? Obama must have known the struggle to get a reform bill passed would make the
Mideast peace talks seem as straightforward as sixth-grade intramural basketball possession calls. Wasn’t anybody paying attention when the Clintons tried this 16 years ago? I don’t care what Teddy Kennedy was promised. Besides, he’ll never know. So far, all you’ve managed to do is prompt the Republicans to salivate like winos at a distillery spill. Sarah Palin warned that the developmentally disabled would be forced to appear at one of Obama’s “death panels.” That flies so far past dissent it borders on terrorism. Methinks Ms. Palin’s political career might have lost a death-panel appeal. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., accused the bill (that hasn’t been written or committeed or voted on yet) of including provisions to kill the elderl;, and come on, when you say stuff like that, you’re going to freak people out. Especially the elderly. Let’s not forget, the number one pre-existing condition in this country is the fear of getting old. Not to mention, the even less attractive … alternative.

Seniors should be scared enough to demand Obama stop rushing the socialist health care plan though Congress like he has something to hide, which he probably does. Health care reform is too important to rush, the bill should be given enough time to get it right. Seniors should be scared enough to demand Obama prove he can pay for the bill without raising taxes or bankrupting the country. Seniors should demand he not leave the details of what is in the bill to the socialists in Congress. Seniors should demand the provision in the bill that appropriates billions of tax dollars to kill unborn babies be taken out. The bill is worded to leave the door open for bureaucrats in Washington to decide who and who doesn’t get treatment. I would want my doctor to decide my health care treatment, and I think most seniors would, too. All citizens need to remind Congress who they work for; they work for the citizens of this country, not Obama. The majority of the people do not want the health care bill that is before Congress. If the Congress passes a bill that the majority of the people don’t want, we no longer have government for the people, by the people, we have socialism. Obama has not been truthful, he has a hidden agenda, and the health care plan that will control our everyday life gets him closer to his goal. His hidden agenda is to turn this country from freedom to socialism with his socialist party in control. For the record the quality of health care has fallen in every country that has a government-run health care system. Those countries also have a tax rate of 60 percent or more, some has high as 85 percent. Please stand up and tell Congress to vote no on this bill. Your life may depend on it.

LETTERS, from page twelve God’s truth and health care To the editor: As a pastor, it might be said that my job is to help others to realize the abundant life that awaits them — a life that’s renewed by having faith in God. Trust me, it’s really less a job than it is an example of one who truly loves Christ. Consider it more like sharing a good meal with hungry friends or sharing some delightful news that makes us smile even during hard times. But, for some reason, history has always tried to erect roadblocks in the path to this great destiny of “abundance.” Currently, we’re facing such an obstacle in the monstrous health care bill that is now before congress. The point is this: If I love Christ, than I also need to realize than each man and woman is important. Decisions about them should not be made based on statistics, but instead, by affirming their God-given right to life and liberty. The current government-run health care proposal does the opposite. It treats men and women as mere numbers and it particularly assaults the elderly.
Let me proudly declare that some of the best wisdom imparted to me has come from those who were in their midto-late 80’s. One such woman recently turned 88 years old. During one of my visits she said, “I realize I haven’t always been good in life. I’ve done things I’m not proud of doing. But, on the horizon, there has always been this light. “Now,” she continued, “sometimes this light has been blurry. And other times, I’ve been looking away. But that flame has always been there. Now as I get older, I can see it more clearly. “That flame is God,” she said. “And that light is there for me … and that light is there for you, too. It will always be there — never forget.” These words come from a woman who has congestive heart failure, kidney trouble and a list of other incurable ailments. One day, she even asked me why God allows us to keep living at such a ripe old age. “Because he still has a purpose for us,” I said. “Even if it’s to talk with someone like me — to get a beginning preacher set straight.” The woman is indeed a life filled with
God’s light. But government-mandated statistics would not reveal such insight — to show that she still has the strong will to survive. Based on what the so-called health care bill proposes, this 88-year-old woman may have been denied access to life-prolonging medicines. I may never have had the chance to meet her if such a bill had been enacted years ago. There is fear that the proposed health care reform would also establish End-of-Life panels to determine who is worthy of receiving continued care and it also provides for the rationing of medicine based on statistics. You can read the health care resolution, H.R. 3200, at the Library of Congress Web site: http:// thomas.loc.gov. Duke University professor John David Lewis has also written an evaluation of the bill at http://www. classicalideals.com/HR3200.htm. Remember, life belongs in the caring hands of God — not on the pages of government forms that will either be stamped “approved” or “denied” by an otherwise indifferent bureaucrat.

Healthy Moment
Swollen Knee Joints When a knee joint swells up, it means something is not right in the joint. The swelling can come on suddenly from a new injury, such as in sports or falls, or slowly from arthritic changes. Whatever the cause, it should be taken care of promptly to help protect the joint. Swelling in the knee can cause considerable damage to the cartilage of the joint. If there is an infection in the joint, it is very important to treat it early and aspirate the pus to prevent cartilage damage and chronic arthritis. Joint infections are a true emergency. If the swelling is due to illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, it should be treated aggressively to protect the joint and surrounding tissue. Injuries are one of the most common causes of joint swelling. If swelling comes on quickly after an injury, it is often due to bleeding into the joint from a torn ligament or even a fracture. On the other hand, if it is cartilage that tears, there is minimal bleeding and the swelling is likely to develop slowly over a few days. When an injury is the cause of the swelling, an exam, x-rays, and possibly arthroscopy are needed to determine which ligaments or cartilages are involved. Some injuries will need to be repaired if a person plans to stay in sports. Loose pieces of cartilage in the joint should be removed to prevent trouble with the knee locking and giving out, and also to prevent arthritic changes from developing in the rest of the joint. See your doctor promptly for any swollen joint.

Henderson gets a taste of football at S. Vance’s annual Jamboree By ERIC S. ROBINSON Dispatch Sports Editor
Northern Vance waited to play their best football at the end, and it was almost enough to win the championship. The Vikings advanced to the finals of the goal-line stand competition against Hertford County at the 14th annual Rose Oil/ Rose Mart Pigskin Jamboree at Southern Vance Saturday morning. They were one two-point conversion away. A quick run-down on how the Jamboree works: the day begins with the scrimmages. Each of the eight teams competes in a 10-play offensive series against an opponents’ defense, beginning at the 35- or 40-yard line. There is no official score kept in the scrimmages. After 10 offensive plays, the teams switch sides of the ball and play 10 the other way. The scrimmages give the teams a chance to play against several different styles, and coaches get to evaluate their teams before the season officially kicks off next week. The goal-line playoff takes place after the scrimmages. Each team gets four downs to score a touchdown from the 10-yard line and must attempt
a two-point conversion after each score. Similar to college overtime, the first team to have the advantage after both teams’ attempts wins and advances. On the first offensive play of the finals, Viking quarterback Jordan Branch threw a touchdown pass to Brandon Epps. But the Bears stopped Eric Jeffries short of the endzone for the twopoint conversion. The Vikings sacked Hertford’s quarterback for a loss on third down, but the playmaker found an open receiver in the endzone on the next play, needing only the conversion to win.

A quarterback keeper into the endzone sealed it for the Bears — their second straight win at the annual event. Northern coach Cedric Crudup said he was much more pleased with his team’s performance than in the earlier
scrimmages. In their earlier scrimmage against Hertford County, the Bears scored three touchdowns against the Northern defense. “I’m not worried. We’ll be okay,” said Crudup. “They need to get in the right spots.”

Braves win over Phillies in wild ninth By CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer

Padraig Harrington hits out of the rough off the first fairway during the third round of the PGA Championship at the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn. Saturday.
Harrington closing in on Tiger’s lead By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer
CHASKA, Minn. — Tiger Woods is one round away from winning another major, with more company than he wanted. Equipped with a four-shot lead Saturday at the PGA Championship, Woods played conservatively on another windy afternoon at Hazeltine until his lead was gone. Only at the end of the day did he find some solace. One birdie on the back nine was enough for a 1-under 71. It gave him a two-shot lead over three-time major champion Padraig Harrington and Y.E. Yang. Woods has never lost a major when leading going into the final round. Only once in his career has he lost any tournament when leading by two shots or more. “I played conservatively today,” Woods said. “I didn’t give myself a lot of looks. I was lag
putting a lot. The only putt I really missed was on the threeputt. Other than that, it was a good, solid day. “Given the conditions and my position in the tournament, I didn’t mind it.” He was at 8-under 208, finishing just as the rain arrived in Minnesota. Harrington surged into a share of the lead with four birdies over an eight-hole stretch in the middle of the round, catching Woods with a 7-foot birdie putt on the short par-4 14th. Right when it appeared they would be paired in the final round for the second straight week, Harrington made his only bogey of the round by going over the 18th green and failing to save par. He wound up with a 69, and much greater hopes of defending his PGA title than he had starting the day. “The narrower the gap, the Please see PGA, page 6B
ATLANTA — Brad Lidge is still confident in his abilities, even as he continues to accumulate blown saves. Lidge committed two errors on one play to help set up Omar Infante’s game-ending single and the Atlanta Braves rallied to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 on Saturday. Lidge (0-5) picked up his eighth blown save and second in five days, aiding Atlanta’s rally by botching Matt Diaz’s sacrifice after Garret Anderson’s leadoff single. Lidge juggled Diaz’s bunt before making a wild throw to first that bounced into foul territory in right field, allowing Anderson to score the tying run as Diaz advanced to third. “I got to the ball and I was thinking about maybe throwing it to second base,” the closer said. “I just bobbled it. Then the play was at first and I just threw it away.” Lidge then issued an intentional walk to Adam LaRoche and walked pinch-hitter Greg Norton to load the bases with no outs. Ryan Church struck out before Infante’s single to left. Lidge converted all 41 of his save opportunities last season and went 7 for 7 in the postseason to help Philadelphia win the World Series. He said all the breaks that fell his way last year are now falling for the other team. “Right now my stuff is as good as it’s been in two years,” Lidge said. “I’m trying to go after guys. That ball (Infante) hit, he didn’t hit it good but it found a hole. It’s been happening. That’s just the way it’s been going.” Lidge, who has a 7.27 ERA, acknowledged he couldn’t blame the loss only on bad breaks. “I’m mad at myself for throwing the ball away,” he said. “I hurried the throw. You make your own luck in this game. I don’t believe in bad luck.”

Atlanta’s Omar Infante watches his game-winning base hit against the Phillies during the ninth inning of Saturday’s game. The Braves won 4-3. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel called Lidge “our closer” and said “we’ve got confidence in him.” “At the same time, we definitely want to win our games, of course,” Manuel said. When Diaz saw the throw from Lidge bounce past Ryan Howard at first base, he said his first thought was “Don’t pass out and remember to breathe.” “I saw the ball get past Ryan and I looked and it checked up against the wall, so I knew I’d be going to third or trying for third,” Diaz said. Diaz scored easily when Infante’s single bounced into left field. “It just goes to show you what happens when you put some pressure on a defense and a pitcher,” Atlanta slugger Chipper Jones. “They’re the World Series champs. That’s a very good, fundamentally sound ballclub with speed, power and pitching. You have got to play good in order to beat them. They don’t give you games. So we feel fortunate about this one.” Jones went 2 for 3 with a walk and Brian McCann hit a two-run
homer in the third for Atlanta. Peter Moylan (5-2) pitched a perfect ninth for the win. Cole Hamels worked six innings for Philadelphia, allowing three hits with four walks and two strikeouts. He did not allow a hit in his final three innings. Jayson Werth gave the Phillies a 3-2 lead in the seventh with his 24th homer, matching his career high. Six of the Phillies’ seven hits off Kenshin Kawakami were for extra bases. Kawakami gave up three runs in 6 1-3 innings. The Phillies scored in the fourth and fifth to tie it at 2. Shane Victorino tripled and scored on Howard’s grounder to second baseman Martin Prado, who threw out Howard from shallow right field. Raul Ibanez led off the fifth with a double to right and scored on a triple to leftcenter by Pedro Feliz. Victorino caught two deep fly balls with his back against the center-field wall — by Yunel Escobar following McCann’s homer in the third and by Jones in the fifth. The Phillies stranded a runner on third in the fifth, seventh and eighth innings.

College Hoops Duke adds Dawkins for upcoming season DURHAM (AP) — Duke is adding guard Andre Dawkins to its incoming recruiting class for this fall. The school said Friday that Dawkins had signed an offer of admission after passing a final course requirement to earn his high school diploma this summer. Dawkins had attended four years of high school, though he went to one year of public high school before transferring to Atlantic Shores Christian School and was classified as a freshman again. After learning he lacked only one English class required for NCAA eligibility, Dawkins decided to pursue early admission to Duke. The 6-foot-4 guard was ranked as one of the top shooting guards in the country. His addition bolsters a team that is thin on the perimeter after the losses of Greg Paulus and Elliot Williams.

Keselowski grabs lead in final lap to win By CHRIS JENKINS AP Sports Writer
BROOKLYN, Mich. — Brian Vickers didn’t see it coming. Brad Keselowski sure did. With Vickers and Kyle Busch fighting it out on the final lap, Keselowski swooped in to grab the lead in the final turn and hold on to the Nationwide Series race Saturday at Michigan International Speedway. “I knew they’d do what they did and that’s why I was sitting there lurking,” said Keselowski, a Michigan native. “The two of them together are a recipe for what you saw — that’s just putting it the way it is.” Vickers finished second and Busch third, and they exchanged some heated words on pit road afterward. Busch said in a television interview that Vickers’ tactics were “just stupid,” and Vickers responded by saying that Busch came over to his car on pit road “crying like a little baby” but ran off when Vickers offered to get out and “talk about it like men.” It also was a rough afternoon for Carl Edwards, whose hopes of a championship in NASCAR’s secondtier series took a hit when he crashed early. “Man, just early in the race,” he said, “and I probably should have been more cautious.” After trading the lead for much of the race, Busch and Vickers pitted with most of the lead-lap cars after a caution with 20 laps to go. They lined up in the second row for the restart

Busch immediately took the lead when Vickers got hung up behind Allgaier, but Vickers came back to challenge and the two were side-by-side when another caution came out with 10 laps left. Vickers chose the outside lane on the final restart with seven laps to go and was poised to run
away with the race. Busch caught back up and the two appeared ready to fight it out on the final lap when Keselowski came seemingly out of nowhere and passed them both. Busch apparently bumped Vickers’ car pulling onto pit road and the two exchanged words, but the confrontation didn’t escalate. Then came a delightfully awkward news conference where they sat together and talked about
one another while staring straight ahead. “Ever since Richmond, I’ve had a trouble racing with (Vickers) so it’s just another escalation of that,” Busch said. Busch criticized Vickers for not giving him enough room or paying attention to Keselowski. “I knew (Keselowski) was coming and man, I was stuck,” Busch said. “I didn’t have anywhere to go.” Vickers admitted he didn’t know Keselowski was coming so quickly, but wasn’t willing to entertain Busch’s second-guessing. “I race everybody the way they race me,” Vickers said. “We were racing for the win. Kyle, if you want to be upset with that, I’m sorry. That’s my job to try and win the race. If anyone else disagrees, if anyone else thinks I should have just rolled out of it and let Kyle win, please raise your hand. I’m fine. The only thing I’m upset with is how he handled it after the race. I’m sure we can get past that.” The confrontation is unlikely to spill over into Sunday’s Sprint Cup race, when Vickers will start from the pole and Busch will start near the back. “He’ll be up front tomorrow and I’ll be in back, so we won’t have anything,” Busch said. Both drivers then sped away on separate golf carts. Keselowski admitted he probably wouldn’t have won if Vickers and Busch had stayed single-file at the end. “They didn’t, so I guess it’s irrelevant,” Keselowski said.
Vick throwing hard in Eagles’ practice By ROB MAADDI AP Sports Writer
PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick flicked his wrist and fired tight spirals deep downfield. A two-year layoff sure didn’t hurt Vick’s arm strength. He showed off his skills Saturday in his first NFL practice with the Philadelphia Eagles since completing his prison sentence. “He throws the ball as hard as anybody I’ve ever seen,” said wide receiver Danny Amendola, a secondyear pro who spent last season on the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad. Wearing a No. 7 red quarterback’s jersey, Vick took part in limited drills with the offense. He worked in one-on-ones, seven-onsevens and red zone offense. Vick mostly observed Donovan McNabb during the two-hour session. When he got a chance on the field, the 29-yearold quarterback made the most of it. He had plenty of zip behind his throws and completed a few deep balls, including one to rookie wideout Jeremy Maclin down the sideline. Vick put in extra time after practice, working on footwork and mechanics with offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg. He was the last player to leave the field, jogging off with his helmet still on. Asked how he felt, Vick replied: “Great.” Vick didn’t speak to the large contingent of reporters around his mostly empty

As he finished taking off his ankle braces, Vick drew a chuckle when he said: “This is weird.” Vick was the fourth quarterback to line up under center in the early portion of the practice. Vick took only one snap and completed his first pass over the middle against no defense. He playfully pumped his fist before McNabb, who lobbied the Eagles to sign Vick, gave him a hug. In the morning walkthrough, Vick worked with the scout team offense. “We have to get him in football shape,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said. Reid said Vick was fit enough to handle an NFL practice and the team would bring him along accordingly. Vick practiced only at quarterback in the morning session, Reid said. “That’s what Michael is,” he said. “Michael’s a quarterback.” A three-time Pro Bowl pick during six seasons with the Atlanta Falcons,
Vick served 18 months in federal prison for running a dogfighting ring and was reinstated last month by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell after being out of action since 2006. He signed a one-year deal with the Eagles on Thursday for $1.6 million with a team option for a second year at $5.2 million. With McNabb entrenched

as the starter and Kevin Kolb backing him up, Vick may be used more as a gimmick player than a traditional quarterback. He’s got the athletic skills to run the Wildcat formation. “There’s always the possibility you can do something,” Reid said. Vick always has been far more inclined to take off and run than stay in the pocket and find an open receiver. His career completion percentage is 53.8 percent, among the lowest for a starting NFL quarterback. He has 71 career touchdown passes, but 52 interceptions. Vick has more career 100yard rushing games (8) than 250-yard passing games (6). Aiding his return to the NFL is the fact he’ll be learning an Eagles’ West Coast offense similar to what he ran in Atlanta. “He’s very fortunate he knows the foundation of this offense. That will speed things up,” Reid said.

Wolfpack’s Baker ready to run again By AARON BEARD AP Sports Writer
RALEIGH — Toney Baker figures he has already knocked off the rust from nearly two years of being on the sideline for North Carolina State. That’s a good sign for the Wolfpack’s depth in the backfield. The running back suffered a seasonending knee injury in the 2007 opener, then missed last year after having a surgery to clean up loose cartilage in his right knee. Yet he sounds ready to get back on the field for the Wolfpack as the team pushes through preseason workouts. “In the spring, I was trying to figure out what I could do and how I was going to feel,” the senior said recently. “Right now, I’m just trying to get ready for South Carolina (on Sept. 3).” Baker’s return would bolster the Wolfpack’s depth behind starter Jamelle Eugene at a position that has been plagued by injuries in recent seasons. The 5-foot-10, 225-pound senior has rushed for nearly 1,300 yards with 11 touchdowns in his career, so he would be a welcome addition in coach Tom O’Brien’s third season. “I don’t know that he was totally sure of himself in the spring, so I think the starting
point is much different (in preseason) than it was,” O’Brien said. “He’s still not all the way back to where he was, but he’s tracking in that direction, which is good news for our football team.” Baker said the loose cartilage was interfering with his ability to bend his knee easily. Instead, the joint would sometimes stick until it finally popped audibly before moving normally. Baker said he’s not having any trouble with the injury itself. He ices it every now and then — though he’s quick to point out, “Everybody’s icing right now.” “For him to be able to come back and do it twice, go out there and just put in the effort, and not complain and not moan, that just showed the real man that he is,” Eugene said. Baker said he is eligible to apply for a sixth year of eligibility, though he doesn’t know if he’ll end up doing that. Instead, he’s focused on proving he’s back by the opener against the Gamecocks. “I think you have to every year whether you’re injured or not,” he said. “That’s the beauty of football, especially in this program. No matter what you do, you’ve got to earn your spot and you’ve got to prove yourselves.”
Beason thinks Panthers must add veteran DT By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer
SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Jon Beason believes the Carolina Panthers will have to sign a veteran to fill the void at defensive tackle. Beason, the Panthers’ middle linebacker and leading tackler the past two seasons, was candid Saturday when asked about Maake Kemoeatu’s season-ending torn Achilles’ tendon. The injury left the Panthers with Nick Hayden, who has two games of NFL experience, as a starter Behind him is undrafted rookie Marlon Favorite. “It’s been tough,” Beason said. “They’re going up against probably the best run offensive line in the league, so it’s hard to see what they can do because those guys are so good. “Last year, Maake was down, Damione (Lewis) got hurt during that Giants game, and you had young guys like Nick Hayden step up and play well at times. We feel good about the young guys, but we definitely need to get a veteran guy in there.” Hayden, Favorite,
rookie Corvey Irvin and the rest of the green group of backups will be tested Monday when the Panthers open the preseason against the New York Giants, who rushed for 301 yards against Carolina last season when Kemoeatu was out with an ankle injury. Beason believes the Panthers’ regularseason starter could be a veteran who’s let go by another team. “Some teams are deep at D-tackle,” Beason said. “They’re going to wait until the end of training camp if somebody gets hurt. You don’t want to let somebody who can step up and play go too early. “It’ll be interesting to see what happens at the end of training camp, but Maake was a big loss for us.” Coach John Fox said the team will consider signing a defensive tackle — once the pool of available talent improves. “You want to improve your team with whoever your bring in,” Fox said. “When that guy shows up we’ll entertain that.”
Lions 27, Falcons 26 DETROIT (AP) — Matthew Stafford threw a touchdown, an interception and had some passes dropped in his debut with the Detroit Lions. Jason Hanson’s 47-yard field goal as time expired lifted Detroit to a 27-26 win over the Atlanta Falcons in the preseason opener for both teams. Stafford, the No. 1 pick of the NFL’s first 0-16 team, completed half of his 14 passes for 114 yards, with a 25-yard TD to fellow rookie Derrick Williams and an interception that Tony Gilbert returned for a score. Keary Colbert dropped Stafford’s first pass and two more. Daunte Culpepper started and completed 5 of 6 passes for 41 yards for Detroit. Atlanta’s Michael Turner ran for a 40-yard TD and Matt Ryan was 5-of-7 for 33 yards. The Lions scratched 16 players, including six projected starters and two of the team’s top three picks, from the lineup with injuries. Atlanta, meanwhile, didn’t have to replace any of its first-string players. Culpepper and Stafford didn’t have any of their top three receivers, including Calvin Johnson, and were without first-round tight end Brandon Pettigrew. That created opportunities for other targets and Colbert failed to take advantage. Stafford perfectly executed a play-action pass on his first snap as a pro, but Colbert didn’t catch the ball. Stafford’s first chance to convert a third down was ruined by another Colbert drop on the next drive. Jim Schwartz, heading into his first game as a head coach at any level, said he planned to start
102 yards and completed a 53-yard TD pass to Donald Driver on the opening drive. Quinn was better than Anderson, though both threw interceptions as Cleveland looked far away from improving on last year’s 4-12 mark, committing four turnovers and seven penalties.
Texans 16, Chiefs 10 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chris Brown scored on a short run and Kris Brown kicked three field goals, lifting Houston to a rain-soaked 16-10 victory over Kansas City on Saturday night in the preseason opener for both. Matt Cassel played only three series in his Chiefs debut and completed 2 of 3 passes for 15 yards. Houston starter Matt Schaub was a perfect 7 for 7 for 70 yards and engineered the game’s only TD drive until Tyler Thigpen, the third Chiefs quarterback, connected with Brad Cottam on a 1-yard scoring toss with a little more than 5 minutes left. Heavy rain fell most of the night.

Bills 27, Bears 20 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Jay Cutler came out throwing against Buffalo in his Bears preseason debut Saturday night, missing as many attempts as he completed, not including the one he had intercepted, in a 27-20 loss. So much for the muchanticipated buzz — including all the No. 6 Bears jerseys sold — that centered on the Pro Bowl quarterback Chicago acquired in a blockbuster offseason trade with Denver. The Bills’ offense, even minus Terrell Owens, out nursing a sprained toe,
was much more efficient in 80-plus-degree and muggy conditions. And Buffalo got plenty of help from its defense, which generated four turnovers, including two interceptions by rookie Ellis Lankster.
Titans 27, Buccaneers 20 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Kerry Collins was intercepted twice while backup Vince Young threw for 131 yards and a touchdown, rallying rallied the Tennessee Titans to a 27-20 exhibition win over the Buccaneers on Saturday night. Tennessee’s win spoiled the debut of new Tampa Bay coach Raheem Morris. Luke McCown got the start for Tampa Bay and struggled in a quarter against Tennessee’s stingy defense.

Kasten: Nationals offered Strasburg record deal team that won a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Games. “Very, very impressive young man. We’d be very proud to have him as a National,” Kasten said. “Very mature. Clearly ready to begin life as a professional. And I hope he signs with us because of that, because I think it really would be a mistake for him to put his career off for another year.” The Nationals executive laid out a scenario in which Strasburg could be in the majors on opening day next season — if a deal were reached by Monday’s deadline. “We think he’s not just a draft pick — we think he’s a special player, which is why we extended ourselves as much as we did, and will continue to entertain any other issues or concerns he might have in order to get him signed,” Kasten said. But he also said there is a “very real possibility, with 48 hours to go, that Stephen may choose not to sign with us. We remain hopeful. But ... all of baseball history, both long-standing and our own recent history with Jordan Zimmermann, has cautioned us about the risks inherent in signing any young player, particularly pitchers.”
By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Sports Writer
WASHINGTON — Nationals president Stan Kasten acknowledged Saturday there is a “very real possibility” the team will not reach an agreement with No. 1 overall draft pick Stephen Strasburg despite offering him a record-breaking contract. The Nationals face a deadline of midnight on Monday night to sign Strasburg, a right-hander from San Diego State whose fastball has been clocked at 102 mph. He is represented by uber-agent Scott Boras, who has the top three players in this year’s draft — all of whom were unsigned as of Saturday afternoon. “With 48 hours to go, I simply have no idea whether we’re going to be able to reach a deal,” Kasten said in an interview with The Associated Press. Kasten said the Nationals offered Strasburg a major league contract worth more than the record $10.5 million pitcher Mark Prior got from the Chicago Cubs after being the second pick in the 2001 amateur draft. Washington’s offer came more than a week ago during a face-to-face meeting in California that included Strasburg, Boras, Kasten, Nationals acting general manager Mike Rizzo and team owners Ted and Mark Lerner. Kasten wouldn’t reveal the exact amount of Washington’s offer nor would he say what, if any, counteroffer Boras had made. But Kasten characterized Boras’ approach as “advocating a new methodology for evaluating draft

We have nothing but the highest regard for him. If he wants to come and begin his career right now — and do so with the largest contract ever given to any drafted player in the history of Major League Baseball — we can help him accomplish that,” Kasten told the AP. “But if this is more about changing the whole way an industry does business, then we won’t be able to reach a deal.” Failing to sign Strasburg would be a blow to a franchise that finished last in the majors with 102 losses last season — which is why they had the top pick in June’s amateur draft — and has the worst record in baseball in 2009, again on pace for 100 losses. Washington also recently lost rookie starter Jordan Zimmermann for at least a year because of a torn elbow ligament. A year ago, the Nationals had the No. 9 overall pick and selected pitcher Aaron Crow of Missouri,
whom they did not sign. Crow went back into the draft this year, was taken 12th overall by Kansas City, and had yet to reach a deal with the Royals as of Saturday. If there’s no deal between Washington and Strasburg, he would go back into the 2010 draft, and the team would be awarded the No. 2 pick in 2010. Strasburg has been labeled a once-in-a-generation talent. He went 13-1 this season, leading Division I pitchers with a 1.32 ERA and 195 strikeouts. Last month, he won the Golden Spikes Award as the top amateur player in the United States, and was the only amateur on the U.S. Olympic baseball ANNOUNCING

New York’s David Wright is hit with a pitch during the fourth inning of Saturday’s game against the Giants.
Mets lose Wright; Giants win 5-4 in 10 innings Giants 5, Mets 4 (10) NEW YORK (AP) — A masterful pitching duel turned ugly after Mets slugger David Wright was hit in the helmet by a pitch from Matt Cain, and Bengie Molina homered in the 10th inning to give the San Francisco Giants a 5-4 victory over New York on Saturday. Cain and fellow AllStar Johan Santana were locked in a scoreless matchup at Citi Field until the fourth inning, when Cain nailed Wright with a 94 mph fastball. Seemingly rattled, Cain gave up a run before settling down and pitching into the eighth, when the Mets tied it at 4. Wright was taken to the Hospital for Special Surgery by ambulance about 50 minutes after being hit. Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz said a CT scan was negative and Wright had a concussion. Cubs 3, Pirates 1 Tom Gorzelanny pitched five effective innings against his former team and Jeff Baker homered to lead the Cubs to the victory. Gorzelanny, who grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago, allowed one run and three hits, struck out eight and walked three. He also singled in a run in the second inning while improving to 2-1 in three starts for his new team. Gorzelanny (5-2) was demoted from Pittsburgh’s starting rotation last year, then sent to Triple-A Indianapolis in June. He remained in Indianapolis until he was traded along with reliever John Grabow
to Chicago on July 30. Kevin Gregg worked the ninth for his 23rd save in 28 opportunities. Zach Duke (9-11) allowed three runs and nine hits in 7 1-3 innings for Pittsburgh.

LOUIS (AP) — Matt Holliday hit a two-run homer, and Joel Pineiro extended his winning streak to five while the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Diego Padres 7-4 Saturday night. The home run was the only hit in five at-bats for Holliday, who had three hits in each of his last three games. Nationals 10, Reds 6 CINCINNATI (AP) — Adam Dunn hit his first homer against his former team and the Washington Nationals beat the Cincinnati Reds 10-6 on Saturday night. Alberto Gonzalez and Elijah Dukes each had two hits and three RBIs for the Nationals, who led 10-1 after four innings. Dunn led off the second with his 31st homer, walked twice and scored two runs.

An impressive start from Jeremy Hellickson and a five-run third inning was enough for the Bulls to hold off Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 5-4 Saturday night at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Hellickson (3-1) tossed seven and one-thirds innings of two-hit ball with three walks and seven strikeouts to pick up the win. The two-hits Hellickson did give up were both home runs, the only mistakes the
22-year-old righty made all night. The first of those homeruns came from Jose Miranda in the top of the second inning. He deposited Hellickson’s 1-2 pitch over the wall in right to give the Yankees an early 1-0 lead. The Bulls came roaring back in the third with a pair of back-to-back bombs from Desmond Jennings and Matt Joyce to start off their half of the inning. It was the first time since May 12 at Gwinnett, that Durham batters have hit consecutive
homers. The two bombs were followed by an error, a single, and a double, with the twobagger coming off the bat of Jon Weber which drove in Akinori Iwamura from third to make the score 3-0. Two more runs were scored on a groundout from Chris Richard and an RBI-single from Ray Olmedo to give the Bulls 5-1 lead. Hellickson kept the Yankees bats at bay until the eighth inning when he gave up a second solo homerun, this time to John Rodriguez,
cutting Durham’s lead to 5-2. Hellickson would retire one more batter before being replaced by Jason Childers who retired two of the three batters he faced to end the inning. The Yankees rallied back in the top of the ninth. With the bases loaded and one out, Rodriguez doubled off Childers driving in two to cut the Bulls lead to just one run. Childers then pulled for closer Dale Thayer who was able to retire the next two batters to earn the save, his 16th of the year.

Call it ‘Car’ Lake or ‘Kurh’ Lake — but not Buggs Island What is the name of that lake up in northern Vance County anyway? Is it Kerr, like a Chevrolet? Or is it Kerr, rhyming with the word Fur? Or is it Buggs, which rhymes with, well, bugs. My cousin Todd Averett in Raleigh has a good friend who owns a house on “Car” Lake. He insists that it is pronounced “Kurh” Lake. The only thing I do know is that it ain’t Buggs Island. Besides, Buggs Island is actually in the upriver end of Lake Gaston, behind the Kerr Lake dam. Let me know what you think at the e-mail address at the end of this column and I will publish any insight I receive
into this conundrum. My cousin Jim reported that Randy Owen was heading down to his house and they are headed out looking for kings and mahi Friday. Then they will switch Walt over to botBowen tom fishing On the Water for grouper Weekly later in the day. With the water so hot now, things get a little slow for the kings, but maybe they will get on some.
The seas have lain down finally with the forecast for south winds around 10 knots and seas from 2 to 3 feet with a chance for showers and thunderstorms. Jim has weather radar on his boat so he can be on the lookout for any storms coming up. Sam from Williamsboro reported that he and his son Aymen caught seven big stripers jigging spoons on Kerr Lake last week, and lost three. They had a great day. They also went out Saturday and caught four that were not as big. Susan and I spent the weekend cleaning up the lot at the lake and left with things looking really nice. I was proud of
the way it looked, with 3 big piles of brush and wood ready for a bonfire later in the year, and all the grass mowed all the way down to the water. We did get a chance to catfish with chicken livers for a while early Sunday morning. I caught one nice one and three little ones. The big one wasn’t quite big enough to make a meal for the two of us, so I ended up throwing him back. If I could have caught one more I would have cleaned them both, so he was lucky to be the size he was. We also rode the Jet Ski over 70 miles, travelling all the way from Nutbush Bridge to the dam and back with Fred, who sure
does love a good ride.

Woods’ four-shot lead was his largest in a major after 36 holes since he led by five at St. Andrews in 2005. Just like that British Open, his margin was cut to two shots going into the final round. Suddenly, there are other challengers to try to stop Woods from winning his 15th career major, and first of the year. Henrik Stenson, who captured The Players Championship in May, had a 68 and was in the group at 4-under 212 along with U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover (71). Ernie Els pulled within one shot of the lead until he finished with three straight bogeys, leaving him with a 70 and five shots behind. He was disgusted with the end of his round, although the Big Easy spoke for so many others about the outlook Sunday. Woods has never been beaten at a major when leading. But at least they have a chance. “You could really feel that there’s a real championship going on around you,” Els said. “It’s not a runaway deal. Looked
like a runaway thing at the end of yesterday. But it looks like the guys are really set to give Tiger a go, and the crowd could sense that.” Woods, however, has a major advantage. He has never lost in America when leading by more than one shot, and the only time anyone beat him from that position was Ed Fiori at the 1996 Quad City Classic, when Woods was a 20-year-old playing his third event as a pro. Lee Westwood came from two shots behind to beat Woods in the Deutsche Bank-SAP Open in Germany in 2000. Woods appeared to be on his way when he stuffed a short iron into 4 feet for birdie on the second hole. Then came a threeputt bogey on the par-3 fourth, which he left woefully short. He missed the fairway on three par 5s, which he could have reached in two from the fairway. Instead, he was aiming away from trouble, not willing to give away shots. On this day, everyone was taking their best shot.
Next week’s article – Report from Jim and Randy at the coast. I will be bass fishing on Gaston Lake in preparation for September’s BFL tournament. My boat repairs are finished from the damage at Lake Champlain in July, and I am ready to get back on the water. I think I am having delirium tremens from not bass fishing in over three weeks. Tip of the week – Lose weight and maybe somebody will throw you back.

Tiger Woods tees off on the eighth tee during the third round of the PGA Championship Saturday.
better,” Harrington said. “If I have to take four shots and I’ve taken two the first day, I suppose we’re halfway there. Obviously, to get a win, you’ve got to beat him by three tomorrow. That’s a tall order. But as I said, everybody in the situation who is behind is going to think, ’Well, we have nothing to lose.’ You’ve got to have that attitude.” Woods will play in the final group with Yang, who matched the best round of the tournament with a 67. Yang won his first PGA Tour event earlier this year at the Honda Classic, although the 37-year-old from South Korea is better known for taking down Woods at the HSBC Champions in China three years ago. They weren’t playing in the same group in 2006, however. And this will be Yang’s first time contending in a major. “It will be my first time playing with him, so I’ll try not to go over par,” he said with a smile. “But I’ve been looking forward to it. I’ve thought about playing with Tiger recently. Surprised it came true so fast.”
JAMBOREE, from page 1B new Carolina 6 Conference opponent, host Southern Vance. Playing out of both the spread and the I, Branch led the Vikings to the endzone on their 10th and final play. His pass to Epps was caught about 15-20 yards out. Tommy Warren rushed into the endzone for the Raiders after several rushes from Nunu Henderson and quarterback scampers by James Harris put them in the red zone. The touchdown was scored on their ninth play. For their 10th, Harris threw a pretty 35-yard bomb to Mark Boyd for another score. Harris also found Darry Ragland for a touchdown in the Raiders’ scrimmage against Hertford County. He was forced to make several plays with his legs throughout the day when the plays broke down. “He did a pretty good job. He’s got to make a quicker read now and then,” Raider coach Mark Perry said of Harris’ play. Perry said he was pleased with the overall performance with the first team. “I thought we had a pretty good morning,” he said. “Obviously as young as our offensive line is, the more snaps we get the better we are.” Warren County started off on defense against North Lenoir, allowing no touchdowns and picking off a pass. Javion Henderson played under center for most of the scrimmages, sharing some time with Tevin Henderson. The Eagles ran the ball effectively out of the flexbone for most of the day. Darrin Wilson scampered about 25-30 yards on a misdirection play to score against North Lenoir, but the Eagles were called for holding. Javion Henderson later found the endzone through the air. Wilson was solid all day on the ground. He also scored a touchdown against Cedar Ridge, Eagle coach Maurice Crump said he expected his flex offense to run a lot smoother in its third year. If Saturday was any indication, Warren County
seems to have definitely improved in its execution of the tricky but potent offense. Even though the Eagles made it to last year’s goal-line finals with Hertford County, the offense seemed to be more fluid in this season’s Jamboree. “I was impressed with our overall performance,” Crump said, adding that he felt his young defensive and offensive line “performed well under pressure” against the different types of opponents they faced. “Overall, I’d say even though we didn’t make it to the finals, they performed at a higher level than I expected them to.” Kelby Henderson, a key player on both sides of the ball for the Eagles, could be seen on the sideline Saturday with a cast on his arm. Crump said he suffered a thumb fracture and should be back by week two. Warren County and Southern both made early exits in the goal-line competition. Northampton East forced a fourth down for the Raiders. Harris scrambled to make a play but was dropped short of the endzone and they turned it over on downs. Northampton scored on a rushing play with their possession to eliminate Southern. Warren County faced off in the first round against Hertford County in a rematch of last year’s championship. Hertford forced a turnover on
downs after wrapping up Henderson on a scramble attempt on fourth down. Facing elimination, the Eagles’ defense pushed the Bears backward, sacking the quarterback on third down. But on fourth and long, the Bears’ QB — a strong candidate for MVP of the Jamboree — scrambled all the way into the endzone. Northern’s Adrian Bridges rushed in for a touchdown in the Vikings’ first-round matchup with North Lenoir. After failing to convert the two, the Vikings sent North Lenoir packing when Jeffries picked off their pass in the endzone. It was Jeffries who scored first against Southern Wayne in the semifinals, rushing it in on second down. Bridges put it in the endzone for the two. On their first play from scrimmage, North Lenoir scored on a QB scramble. Northern sealed their championship appearance, however, when they stuffed the two-point attempt. One more week remains to make the necessary tweaks and adjustments before the season starts. On Friday, Warren County hosts Graham, Northern travels to Ravenscroft to try to avenge last year’s loss against the Ravens, and Southern hosts Southeast Halifax. Granville Central will play their first varsity football game

Above, with Hector Moss on the mandolin and his lifelong friend, Jasper Burnette of Canton, on the guitar, other combat engineers also waiting for transportation out of Karachi in Burma at the end of World War II — even the Yankees — listened to some Southern tunes.

Building the road to victory Kittrell man honored for WWII service; he helped construct and maintain the Ledo Road supply line in Burma By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer
Hector Moss has a photo album filled with memories of his years as a combat engineer during World War II, but there are no fading pictures of him firing his .30-caliber carbine at invading Japanese soldiers in Burma. “You don’t carry a camera around with you when you’re fighting for your life,” the 87-year-old Kittrell resident explained during an interview. “I have watched more people die and I have seen more bloodshed than I ever want to see again.” Moss kept his walking cane close by while sitting in a rocking chair on the side porch at his two-acre home on Moss Stockton Pond Road. He still lives on the family farm, only it’s a lot smaller now. Moss and his 83-year-old wife, Josephine, got married in 1945, after he came back to Vance County. They raised three children in the house. Grady, 57, lives in Raleigh. Gloria, 60, lives in Louisburg. Kirby, 54, lives in Oklahoma City. Recently, Moss got another WWII souvenir. It was a certificate of appreciation for his service during the war. The formal presentation was made in his absence during the annual reunion of the 236th Combat Engineers which was held on July 12 in Nashville, Tenn. As one of them, Moss helped build the first saw mill in India. The Engineers constructed numerous simple bridges during the war. Some of them were made of sliced tree logs fastened together to withstand the weight of heavy trucks. His father, Bob Moss, built many houses in Vance County and trained

The army groomed Hector Moss to be a planner, an improvisor and a demolition expert, as well. “I was a platoon sergeant in charge of 42 men. We were trained to be killers. We knew about all kinds of explosives and booby traps. That was our specialty.” Some of his recollections are clearer than others. “I was only shot once,” he said. It happened less than three weeks before the Japanese formally surrendered after Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed by American atomic bombs in 1945. Asked if he got a purple heart medal for his trouble, Moss explained his ineligibility due to the bullet striking one of the many ammo clips attached to a belt around his waist. “There was no blood, no wound.” However, he added, “I’ve never been hit so hard in my life. It was like someone taking the broad side of an
axe and hitting me as hard as they could in the side.” Asked if the force of the projectile knocked him down, Moss replied: “Yes, but I got up quick. I was in a hurry.” At the time, Moss and other members of the 236th Engineer Combat Battalion were defending their supplies from enemy soldiers who were trying to steal them from a drop zone in dense jungle. “They were our food, ammunition, even water.” The battle, which lasted 63 days, stopped with the end of the war. It was the only fighting he was involved in after being drafted in 1942. The action took place five miles from the Ledo Road, which his battalion constructed across the mountains of the Himalayas. Moss said neither he nor his buddies were able to change their clothes or take a bath while trying to stay alive. They didn’t complain about each other, he added,
because they all smelled the same. “We didn’t give a hoot about time then,” he recalled. “I didn’t need a watch. We didn’t know when the sun came up.” Because he had wanted to bring the damaged bullet clip back to the States with him, Moss kept the potential souvenir for awhile. “I reluctantly threw it away because it was cumbersome and I was in combat. I didn’t need any extra baggage, and got it in my way.” A souvenir that he still has from his soldiering days is a friendship with Jasper Burnette. It survived a landmine explosion that turned over Burnette’s bulldozer, but didn’t injure him. Nowadays, Burnette lives in Canton. “We’re the same age,” Moss said. “He’s a lifelong friend. He still comes to see me.” Contact the writer at awheless@hendersondispatch.com.

Formally burying the dead was one of the first things Hector Moss and the 236th Engineer Combat Battalion did in Myitkyina, Burma, after the fighting stopped in 1945 when the Japanese surrendered. “Some mighty nice men are buried under those crosses,” he said.

Vance-Granville Community College honors retired personnel Vance-Granville Community College held its annual reception on July 16 in the Civic Center to recognize loyal employees who had retired from the college, and particularly the five who retired in the last 12 months. This year’s recognition reception came as the college celebrates its 40th anniversary. VGCC President Randy Parker welcomed and thanked the retirees, saying, “It’s because of each of you that Vance-Granville continues to grow and prosper. We stand on your shoulders as we take the college to higher and higher levels.” Vice President of Instruc-

‘Madden NFL 10’ is series’ best yet
Youth Services
polished and revamped a ton of on-field animations, especially with tackling. Running backs fight to stay upright and keep their feet moving to fight for a couple extra yards. Defenders dive low to trip up a receiver trying to eke out extra yards on a cross route. The game added gang tackles, and up to nine players can push a pile back behind the scrimmage line or toward the first-down marker. Refs even blow a play dead when an upright pile stops forward progress without falling. A new mini-game adds interactivity to fumbles, letting players mash buttons to fight for the ball in a pileup. This could get annoying if it happened on every loose ball, but it’s used sparingly when appropriate. Reception animations look more realistic, even on replay, and I even pulled off a David Tyree-style helmet catch in the end zone during a brief Super Bowl moment. EA Sports has long used the “It’s in the game” tag line for its games, and the phrase definitely applies here. Four stars.
By DIRK LAMMERS Associated Press Writer
Football fans have grown accustomed to spending their Sundays in front of gigantic highdef TVs, and they can’t just drop their visual expectations when the game goes virtual. EA Sports exceeds those expectations with “Madden NFL 10” ($59.99; Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3; in stores Friday), and the 21-year-old franchise has delivered its most striking, realisticlooking football video game yet. Athlete and stadium models that looked great last year jump off the screen with improved lighting effects and the addition of depth of field, which blurs out the background to make the foreground appear more vibrant. Players can customize their team’s game day look using pieces from home, away, alternate and classic uniforms, and the game’s TV-like production is enhanced with varied camera angles between plays and on kickoffs. Game play doesn’t undergo a drastic overhaul from “09” — and that’s a good thing — as the developers at EA’s Tiburon studio

SUNDAY CRYPTOQUOTE — There are two ways of meeting
ARIES (March 21-April 19). In every area of life, focus is vital. You have the amazing ability to separate your emotions from the task at hand and use only those feelings that will help you show up strong. It’s a tricky accomplishment in a week when your feelings will be intensely passionate. Do your best. It will be more than enough. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll have the opportunity to experience one of the finest things in life — time with your loved ones. The moments may seem commonplace, though, unless you take the initiative to bring something special and memorable to the scene. Savor and celebrate the uniqueness of the bond you have with loved ones. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You gravitate naturally toward hospitable souls and will be happiest in the company of those with attitudes that are as winning as yours. The qualities you find most attractive are: curiosity, humor, enthusiasm and service to others. Show compassion to those who don’t fit the description, but avoid them all the same. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll mingle in a crowd or work among a large number of competitors. In order to shine, you’ll need a big ego and a flair for getting noticed. Pump yourself up. Keep friends around to help you feel important. Once you feel powerful, you’ll be inclined toward modesty and service to others. It’s the perfect combo. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Life will require maintenance. Whether it’s the air conditioner at home or a misunderstanding between loved ones, attention will be needed. But don’t obsess. Every broken thing has its moment for fixing. When you can do something about it, you will. In the meantime, note what is working and enjoy it to the hilt. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You behave with great dignity this week. You might be accused of being underwhelmed by life, but it’s not true. You just have a subtle way of communicating and prefer to enjoy life quietly. You are not given to ostentation, and you value people who don’t need extra attention and can deal in a secure and “real” manner. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Take no one for granted. Those who devote their attention, time and resources to you need to know that they are appreciated. Later in the week, new friendships are eye opening. You’ll be welcomed into someone’s personal space and will learn and appreciate the world differently from this vantage point. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Much of the week is spent in preparation for something big that’s about to happen. However, that doesn’t mean it’s not as important as what is to come. Approach each task as though it were the main event. The glory is really in the details, in how well you enjoy the rehearsal and what you learn along the way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your life force is going strong this week and can be felt by all around you. You approach your responsibilities with conviction, and for the most part things will move to accommodate your wishes. Wednesday brings a minor glitch, though. Put on a happy face if people don’t come through with what was promised. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A goal still gleams in the distance. You wonder why it’s taking so long. And though you may not be moving as quickly as you had hoped, you’ll make remarkable progress this week. Continue to fill your mind with thoughts of what your life will be like — and what you’ll be like — once you get what you’re going for. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Being around tolerant people brings you up. You feel more creative when you know that you’re accepted, and also when you’re not wasting energy worrying whether others will be. Those who complain often and try to exclude others by imposing snobby rules will only limit your enjoyment and range of life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Whatever you think you are capable of, raise your estimation by 10 percent. You can now do more and be more. Those who think big will inspire you. When you mentally minimize your obstacles, they really will diminish. By the end of the week, you will be bold. You’ll cancel out the negative with positive energy.

One year ago: At the Beijing Olympics, Michael Phelps touched the wall a hundredth of a second ahead of Serbia’s Milorad Cavic to win the 100-meter butterfly, giving Phelps his seventh gold medal of the Games, tying Mark Spitz’s performance in the 1972 Munich Games. Usain Bolt of Jamaica ran the 100-meter dash in a stunning world-record time of 9.69 seconds. Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and actress Portia de Rossi were married at their Beverly Hills, Calif., home.

DEAR ABBY: I have discovered that my daughter’s day care director is seeing a married man. I removed my daughter from that center because the director is not the kind of person I want taking care of my child. Should I let other parents know what is going on? — MOMMY WITH PRINCIPLES DEAR MOMMY: I don’t think so. In fact, I think you should mind your own business. People with principles not only don’t cheat, they also have too much character to spread gossip.

DEAR ABBY: My husband, “George,” wears his false teeth only for church. He puts them in his pocket as soon as the service is over and won’t wear them anywhere else. If I say anything, he gets furious and refuses to discuss it, even though I tell him it embarrasses me and it should embarrass him, too. George is upset with the dentist who made the dentures. He went to another dental lab, wore them for one month, and then gave up. He also fusses with his hearing aids, glasses, etc. He’s driving me crazy. What should I do? — JANET IN OHIO DEAR JANET: If your husband’s dentures were comfortable, he’d wear them. The dentist who made them should be contacted so adjustments can be made until they fit properly. If George won’t make the call, do it for him and go along for moral support. He may also need his vision checked by an ophthalmologist. His glasses may need refitting or replacing — or he may have a condition that should be treated ASAP, so don’t put it off. Also, hearing aids take getting used to and the process can be frustrating — especially if your teeth are hurting and you’re having difficulty seeing. Poor George, if you think you’re being driven crazy, imagine what he’s going through and try to be patient.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter, “Amelia,” recently joined the ranks of a “direct sales force.” She has asked me to make arrangements so she can present her products to my circle of friends. I love Amelia beyond words and would do anything to support her, but I told her that in this instance I felt I would be betraying my friends by “using” their friendship. In my opinion, hosting a “party” for the purpose of selling makes the invitees feel obligated to buy something whether they need it or not. I told Amelia I don’t want to put my friends in that position. My daughter Dear took imAbby mediate offense and Universal Press Syndicate told me I was way offbase because attendees are “free to purchase products — or not — as they choose.” In other words, I’m the one with the hang-up and it isn’t necessarily shared by others. It upsets me terribly that my daughter is now angry and thinks I have abandoned her because I’m uncomfortable supporting this effort. She has another successful career, so this venture is not a matter of financial life or death to her. What should I do? — IN A TOUGH SPOT IN ILLINOIS DEAR IN A SPOT: Direct sales companies are rapidly expanding their forces these days, in light of the recession. And many people regard it as an attractive opportunity to replace lost income or hedge against job loss. According to USA Today, there are now roughly 15 million direct sellers in the United States. With all that “partying” going on — the objective of which is to sell, sell, sell — many people have wised up to the fact they are promotional rather than social in nature and refuse the invitations.client I see nothing wrong with inviting your friends, as long as they understand, in advance, the purpose of the party as well as the fact that you won’t be personally offended if they do not choose to participate.

In this July 14, 2009 file photo, Chris Daughtry of the band Daughtry, performs on the NBC “Today” television program in New York.
Daughtry’s second release is the first as an entire band By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY AP Music Writer
NEW YORK — The idea of a rock band playing their own instruments on their own album might seem like a given, but when Chris Daughtry made that a condition for the recording of Daughtry’s sophomore CD, producer Howard Benson was wary. “That was something I was not sure about, to be honest with you,” recalls Benson. His concerns were understandable. After all, when the multiplatinum “Daughtry” was being crafted in 2006, the only member of Daughtry was Chris Daughtry, fresh off his finalist run on “American Idol.” The four others who would eventually form the quintet — guitarists Josh Steely and Brian Craddock, drummer and pianist Joey Barnes and bassist Josh Paul, were still in the process of auditioning. Even the cover of that album featured a clear picture of Chris Daughtry, with blurred images of what would be his band in the background. “The first record, we used session guys that were really, really good, tremendous guys,” says Benson. “(But) I trusted in Chris’ lead on that part (for the new record), and I also put a lot of pressure on those guys to deliver, and they really, really delivered ... they had to make me believe in them, and they had to make a lot of people believe in them.” With “Leave This Town,” Daughtry finally has the opportunity to silence those who see Daughtry as a oneman band. Besides playing on the record, band members contributed to the writing and arrangements. “There are a lot of elements that make up what we do,” says Craddock, with Daughtry sitting by his side. “Each member kind of brings something different to the table, too, and each member has a function in the band, they know what they do well, and when it all comes together ... it blends so perfectly together.” From the way that Craddock and Daughtry finish each other’s sentences and joke around together, you might think they were childhood buddies who decided to start a band. Both say that camaraderie is the result of spending nearly two years on the road together, then working on their second CD. “We’ve really gotten to know each other and we spend more time together than we spend with our own families: It’s something where you get to know each other, sometimes a little too much,” Daughtry says with a laugh. Unlike their self-titled debut, which was rushed to capitalize on Daughtry’s “Idol” success and only
featured Chris Daughtry, Craddock and Daughtry had months to create the band’s follow-up. “I felt like we were able to craft the songs, into being a perfect musical arrangement on each tune, which I don’t feel that way about every song I’ve written in my lifetime,” says Craddock. “We were able to go in there and take our time, relax, and everything was able to come out perfectly.” The success of “Daughtry” gave them that luxury. The record, with its arenarock melodies and Chris Daughtry’s soaring voice, sold more than 4 million copies in the United States, and was responsible for hits like “Home” and “It’s Not Over.” Like “Daughtry,” the new album has Benson as a producer, and features some of the same writing collaborators as the first record. But the band was careful not to make “Leave This Town” a retread of “Daughtry.” “There had to be a balance because it is our second record, which is arguably the most important record of our career, especially following the success of the first one,” says Daughtry. “We have to make a record as good as the first one but there’s ’OK, we don’t want to repeat exactly what we did, so how do we balance?”’ That balance came with artistic touches like a clubdriven record in “Supernatural” and a country-tinged track “Tennessee Line,” featuring country star Vince Gill. “It wasn’t really experimentation as much as it was this is another aspect of what we love,” says Daughtry of the latter track, which he wrote with Craddock. Benson also credits the band with providing some of the biggest growth in Daughtry — both for the band and their leader: “Because he wrote them with his band members, he was able to stretch out more.” Daughtry says “Leave This Town,” which debuted on top of the album charts when it was released last month, will “definitely show people that it is a band and not a one-man show. ... It’s a rock band, it’s definitely not all me up there.” Still, he remains the band’s core and leader. He co-wrote every track on the record, and it was his vision that guided the recording. And that remains the challenge for Daughtry to be seen as a full band. “I think 95 percent of the public really still see this as Chris, because his voice is his voice, but I think the true fans, they’re the ones who are going to be pleasantly surprised,” Benson says.

Homeowner Christopher Paulsen reclines in front of the woodpile he and his roommate are chopping for winter at Paulsen’s home in Incline Village, Nev. Paulsen decided to rent a room out after his son moved out and shares chores with tenant Ben Storrud.

McLEAN, Va. (AP) — Rates on 30-year mortgages rose this week, remaining above 5 percent after reaching a record low earlier this year, Freddie Mac said Thursday. The average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 5.29 percent this week, up from 5.22 percent last week, Freddie Mac said. Last year at this time, the 30year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.52 percent. Rates on 30-year mortgages dropped to a record low of 4.78 percent earlier this year, but have been above 5 percent since June. Though the troubled U.S. housing market is beginning to stabilize, higher rates could slow down any recovery, since prospective buyers would be able to borrow less money and might decide to hold off on their purchases. Freddie Mac collects mortgage rates on Monday through Wednesday of each week from lenders around the country. Rates often fluctuate significantly, even within a given day. The average rate on a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage was 4.68 percent, an increase from 4.63 percent last week, Freddie Mac said. Rates on five-year, adjustablerate mortgages averaged 4.75 percent, up from 4.73 percent last week. Rates on one-year, adjustable-rate mortgages dropped to 4.72 percent from 4.78 percent. The rates do not include add-on fees known as points. The nationwide fee averaged 0.7 point for 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate mortgages, 0.6 point for five-year adjustable-rate mortgages, and 0.4 point for one-year adjustable-rate mortgages.
‘Mortgage Meltdown’ turns housing slump into an online game By LOU KESTEN Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — AddictingGames — the Web site that published ripped-from-the-headlines games such as “Baseball Juiced,” “Trillion Dollar Bailout,” “Where’s the Naughty Governor?” and “Hero on the Hudson” — is tackling its riskiest project yet: turning the housing slump into something fun. The result is “Mortgage Meltdown,” a Bizarro-world version of Monopoly that became available for free PC play on Friday. Instead of buying properties and trying to corner the real-estate market, your goal is to keep your head above water until the economy turns around. Pretty much everything that can go wrong does, from troublesome tenants to property tax hikes to earthquakes. If you can hang in there for four years, you might see a nice windfall at the end. Most of AddictingGames’ “NewsGames” projects are quick-hit gags that satirize current events and are designed for one or two minutes of play. But David Williams, senior vice president of Nickelodeon’s Kids and Family Games Group (which now includes AddictingGames), says “Mortgage Meltdown” is “the deepest ‘NewsGame’ we’ve produced.” A session lasts about 10 minutes, and it’s a challenge to survive. Few game designers would tackle such a dry topic, but Williams says, “You can turn anything into a game.” AddictingGames encourages its designers to be provocative, Williams says, although some material just isn’t appropriate. “We looked at the Iranian election,” he says. “But it unfolded too fast, and we were uncomfortable with how it ended.” On the Net: • http://www.addictinggames.com/ mortgagemeltdown.html
