The city of Henderson continues to remain without a special projects manager. City Manager Ray Griffin told the Dispatch that advertising has not yet begun for a replacement. The City Council, in preparing a frugal budget that took effect on July 1, agreed to allocate $27,600 for the city’s half of the special projects manager position. This is provided the Embassy Square Cultural Center Foundation provides the same amount. The council, in budget deliberations, cited a need to have contacts in Washington, D.C., and in Raleigh and a need to obtain grants. During the June 8 budget session, local government watchdog Lewis Edwards said he believed that funding the special projects manager position and that Henderson

What was first reported as a five-car accident tied up traffic on Interstate 85 just south of Satterwhite Point Road in the northbound lane Friday afternoon. The number of people injuried and the extent of their injuries was not known at press time. That accident occurred at around 5:30 p.m., about 90 mintues after another multi-car accident had tied up southbound I-85 traffic for some time in the vicinity of the Andrews Avenue/N.C. Highway 39 interchange. Below, a firefighter talks wth witnesses from the southbound I-85 accident. At left, traffic backs up to the north as vehicles wait for the crash to be cleared from the southbound lanes so travel can resume. Henderson police said a report on that crash would not be filed until Saturday.

CREEDMOOR — A 23-year-old Oxford woman on Friday evening was in serious condition at Duke University Medical Center after being injured earlier in the day in a one-vehicle wreck on N.C. 50 on the Granville County side of the Granville County-Wake County line. Erin Gore, who was not wearing a seatbelt, suffered a blackout while driving a 2006 Chevrolet Equinox north on the hilly, two-lane highway between Old N.C. 21 and Beaver Dam Road, state Trooper Mitchell Gordy told the Dispatch. The vehicle went to the left of center and off the pavement, Gore came to, overcorrected, the vehicle overturned and Gore was ejected, Gordy said. “She ended up in the roadway” and the vehicle went to the right and came to rest upright in a ditch, Gordy said. “She’s got some pretty severe injuries” to her head, neck, back and ribs, along with lacerations and road rash, Gordy said.

Vance-Granville Community College turned 40 years old on Friday, kicking off a series of celebrations to mark the milestone and rededicating itself to service to the people who will walk through the buildings’ arches over the next four decades. The first of four Student Appreciation Days was held at the college’s main campus between Henderson and Oxford. Future appreciation days will follow at each of the three satellite campuses, and the activities will spill over into October with an anniversary ball and a festival. It is a time for “Reflecting on our past, looking ahead to our future,” noted President Randy Parker in his remarks to a gathering of school trustees, administrators, instructors, students and guests.

“We should all be grateful to the forward-thinking people who founded Vance-Granville Community College,” Parker said. “It was not one person or even a small handful of people. It was a collective effort by so many people in Vance County, later followed by the people of Granville, Warren and Franklin counties. They worked together toward a common goal – a better future in which all the people of our area could access higher education and obtain better jobs and opportunities. “In 1969, these leaders faced a time of economic change, just like we do today. They responded with hope and determination,” he said. Citing a recently discovered copy of minutes from a Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Commerce meeting 45 years earlier, Parker traced the college’s origins. The official request for a college was made to the state in 1968, he said. “The request stated that the county wanted ‘a low cost Technical Institute that will provide local industries, both new and old,

with workers who have been trained in some actual vocational skills that will provide the highly skilled workers so much in demand by our local employers,’” Parker said. The state department of community colleges gave the OK and the General Assembly made Vance

County Technical Institute an official member of the statewide system on July 1, 1969. Friday’s celebration day fell on the 40th anniversary of the issuance of the official charter. “By rededicating our outstanding facilities, we declare that they are set

apart for activities that are special and extraordinary – teaching, learning, starting new careers and making dreams come true,” said Parker. “We re-commit ourselves to serving all the people who walk through Please see VGCC, page 3A

Don’t let your landscape be an eyesore When I decided to write an article about landscape design, it dawned on me that I am wholly unqualified to tell you anything about landscape design. I have no formal training and no experience. Then again, that never stopped me from writing Paul about McKenzie other topics! Cooperative What’s Extension more, I am highly qualified to tell you what I don’t like! Follow these tips and you won’t win any awards, but maybe your yard won’t look like an eyesore. Hey, maybe that could be the slogan for my landscape design company — “Hire

me and maybe your yard won’t look like an eyesore!” Right, best for me to keep my day job. The first thing I don’t like is evergreen shrubs that have been sheared into odd shapes. Now, a neatly clipped hedge can be attractive. But too often shearing is used to try and control a shrub that is simply too large for the location. A better solution? Use a bow saw to prune the trunk six inches above ground level. Another annoyance is old, misshapen, half-dead trees. Yes, I understand that your great-grandmother planted that dogwood from a seed she brought on the wagon when she moved from New Bern. But your greatgrandmother would be embarrassed to see it in your yard today! Again, prune by making a single cut to the trunk six inches above the ground. Plant a new tree in her honor.

I’m gonna make a fortune with this idea! Yes, I clearly have a secret agenda here. I’m trying to convert all of you into gardeners. Have you ever noticed how, in each neighborhood, there’s one yard that outshines the others? The one where you pause each day on your walk or drive to see what’s blooming? The one where someone is always in the yard to wave at? Now imagine if a third or half of the yards looked like that. It would be a different world.

Next is an over-reliance on a few evergreen shrub species. Boxwoods, Japanese hollies and ligustrums are fine, but if that’s all you’ve got going on, it’s time to spice things up. Evergreens should be the backdrop of your landscape, not the main attraction. Another oversight is failure to plan for beauty in all seasons. A lot of yards look great in the spring when the daffodils and azaleas and forsythias are blooming. But they simply fade into the background for the rest of the year. There is such variety available today in the plant industry, that you can easily have interesting colors, shapes and textures in your yard year round. Also disfavored are plants that are overcrowded. When two shrubs of different species are growing so close that you can’t tell where one ends, it’s time to make a choice. That’s right, don’t put

The previous special projects manager, Kathy Powell, had doubled as executive director of the Embassy foundation, which is the non-profit fundraising arm of the redevelopment project that resulted in the McGregor Hall Gallery and the relocated H.

The state on Aug. 14 turned down the council’s Nov. 24 request for a $1 million Community Development Block Grant to help with paying for the proposed cultural focal point.

The vehicle was totaled, with the airbags having not deployed because there was no frontal impact, Gordy said. Gordy said he is citing Gore, of 604 E.

The main campus architecture features a number of archways.

ACS is recommending that potential employees attend pre-employment classes at VGCC later this month. “Today is a great day to celebrate our 40th anniversary,� Seifert said, “while we are enjoying record-breaking enrollment, and while the community college plays a key role in promoting economic recovery.

Man held for beating ex-girlfriend, another man By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

OXFORD — A 23-yearold man was charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and felony burglary after breaking into an apartment on the south side of the city and using a fan to attack his ex-girlfriend and a man who was at the residence, Police Detective Sgt. Mark

Blair told the Dispatch. The accused, Calvin Foy III, additionally is charged with misdemeanor Foy assault with a deadly weapon, misdemeanor assault and misdemeanor communicating threats, Blair said. The incident occurred ap-

proximately two weeks ago, Blair said. An unknown telephone caller tipped off the Police Department as to Foy’s whereabouts, Blair said. Foy was booked on Aug. 29 and bond was set at $85,000, according to the weekly booking list, which the Police Department emails to the Dispatch. Of the incident, Foy “actually beat the guy sense-

Montana mom pleads guilty, drove son to break-ins GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) — A Montana woman charged with driving around her 16-year-old son and six others while they broke into cars in April has changed her plea. Lisa Dilley pleaded guilty Thursday in District Court to accountability to theft. Court records say Dilley drove a group of teens around while they stole more than $3,600 worth of items from vehicles. Dilley’s husband called police the next morning after finding a pile of items in his back yard that he suspected had been stolen, including a set of golf clubs and power tools. Five juveniles were arrested in the case, including Dilley’s son, along with two 18-year-olds.

Philly DA hopeful dons monitoring bracelet PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Voters in Philadelphia will have an easy time telling where one candidate for district attorney stands — with the help of a GPS ankle bracelet. Republican district attorney candidate Michael Untermeyer is wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet for the next month. Visitors to Untermeyer’s Web site, www. untermeyerforda.com, can track the his movements minute-by-minute for the next 30 days. Untermeyer said Thursday the city could save millions of dollars by moving nonviolent defendants out of the prison system and keeping tabs on them electronically instead. Untermeyer says it costs $98 a day to keep someone locked up but just $8 a day to monitor them electronically. Democratic opponent Seth Williams says the ankle bracelet is just a gimmick and the prison overcrowding issue has no quick fix.

Yellowstone fire grows to 110 acres YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) — A lightning-caused fire in Yellowstone National Park had grown to about 110 acres. Fire officials say that the Butte fire has been burning since Sunday near the summit of Druid Peak, along the Northeast Entrance Road, about 16 miles southwest of Cooke City, Mont. It is well away from any park attractions, roads and structures and so park managers are letting it burn for now. No trails are closed because of the fire. The National Park Service reports 15 fires in Yellowstone this summer. Thirteen of them were caused by lightning. So far, all but the Butte Fire have been less than a half acre in size.

2 N.C. call centers to close, affecting 180 workers By The Associated Press

Two call centers in North Carolina are closing, affecting about 180 workers. The Sun Journal of New Bern reported that Embarq will lay off about 100 workers when it closes its call center in November. The closing is the result of Embarq’s recent merger with CenturyTel Inc. An Embarq spokesman says the New Bern employees can apply for jobs in the new company, Century Link, or relocate to available positions. Workers who stay with Embarq until early

November get a severance package. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Time Warner Cable will close its customer call center in Fay-

etteville on Oct. 29. Those 80 jobs will move to Raleigh and Wilmington. Employees will be able to reapply for their positions in the new locations.

Employers shed 216,000 jobs in August; jobless rate at 9.7 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation’s unemployment rate climbed last month to 9.7 percent — the highest in nearly a generation — but the number of job losses was less than expected and the smallest monthly total in a year. Employers shed 216,000 jobs in August, the Labor Department said Friday. That was 9,000 fewer than expected but a far cry from the job creation required to rejuvenate the economy: about 125,000 new jobs each month just to keep the unemployment rate from increasing. The unemployment rate rose three-tenths of a percentage point since July, reaching its highest level since 1983, when it was 10.1 percent. Economists predict that the jobless rate will peak above 10 percent by the middle of next year. At the same time, many analysts say the economy should grow by a healthy 3 to 4 percent in the third quarter, pulling the United States out of the longest recession since World War II.

Most of that improvement, though, stems from auto companies and other manufacturers refilling their depleted stockpiles. Those inventories had plummeted as factories and retailers sought to bring goods more in line with reduced sales during the recession. Without stepped-up demand from consumers, any current economy growth might not last. Yet economists worry that none of that will be enough to sustain an economic recovery once the government’s efforts fade. As job losses persist and the unemployment rate climbs, even people with jobs will remain anxious about losing them and

about spending too much. Complicating the problem is that even people with good jobs are likely to remain tighter with their money for years to come. Having suffered deep losses in their home equity and stock portfolios, and still stuck with heavy debt loads, Americans will not spend as freely as they did before the recession. Some economists even fear a so-called “doubledip” recession, which would cause the economy to shrink again next year. For now, the August unemployment report sketched a bleak portrait of the job market. The number of jobless Americans jumped by nearly 500,000 to 14.9 million.

Our Opinion

Lessons in sportsmanship An opening weekend intended by the American Football Coaches Association to foster sportsmanship got off to an inauspicious start Thursday night when a game between ranked opponents — No. 16 Oregon at No. 14 Boise State — ended with a victorious and trash-talking BSU player dropped to his knees by a vicious right cross thrown by Ducks running back LeGarrette Blount. The teams had complied with an AFCA request that each game this weekend begin with a midfield handshake between opponents. The goodwill apparently didn’t last all the way to post-game. And pleasantries won’t be extended pre-game in Stillwater, Okla., today, where Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy sent word earlier in the week to the University of Georgia that his Cowboys won’t meet the Bulldogs at midfield for a handshake before kickoff. Gundy says the situation is just too volatile. “Our first concern was (we’ll) have 115 guys out there and they’ll have 70 (and) it just takes one guy to pop off,” said the coach. Meanwhile, AFCA Executive Director Grant Teaff wonders whether maybe the handshake actually helped a bit in Boise Thursday. “It was sad as I watched, but the good news is nobody joined in,” Teaff said. “… I thought to myself, ‘What would have happened if they hadn’t shaken hands before the game?’ This wasn’t a fight. This wasn’t a brawl. I was impressed by the coaches and players who showed restraint and self-control last night.” We actually understand both positions. Gundy and coaches around the country have spent the last few weeks preparing their charges for the season-opener by whipping them into a frenzy to manhandle the competition. Asking them to turn that intensity down about six notches — just long enough to shake hands and retreat to the sidelines, where the frenzy resumes — is indeed a tall order. But sportsmanship does need a jump-start in college sports, especially football. Oregon has responded to its player’s actions by suspending Blount for the entire season. As a senior, that means Blount’s college football career is over. Commendably, the school has not revoked his scholarship; Oregon expects Blount to continue attending classes (we’ll see whether he complies, as he’s been slack academically in the past) and to fulfill his practice commitments to the team as path toward a little redemption. Meanwhile, we aren’t as pleased with Boise’s response to its player’s role in the altercation. While Broncos defensive end Bryan Hout didn’t throw a punch, he did start the whole nasty business by seeking out Blount, razzing him and tapping him on the shoulder pads, to the point that BSU coach Chris Petersen was already rushing in to pull his own player away before Hout ever got decked. Boise State says Hout will be disciplined, but said the action is an “internal” matter and Hout will not miss any playing time. Per NCAA rules, throwing a punch results in ejection from the current game and suspension from the next. Oregon banned Blount for the year because he struggled against his own teammates and coaches who escorted him to the locker room after the altercation and even tried to get at fans who taunted him while he was leaving the field, with police and stadium security ultimately getting involved. “We do not and will not tolerate the actions that were taken by our player. Oregon’s loyal fans expect and deserve better,” university President Richard Lariviere said in a statement. Boise State could send an equally strong message to its players and to athletes around the country by sitting Hout down for next week’s home game against Miami of Ohio. Hout didn’t take a swing at Blount, but his poor sportsmanship rang the bell that started the one-punch bout. Did Bryan Hout deserve to be punched by LeGarrette Blount? No. But, whatever was said in the press pregame, did Blount deserve to be bad-mouthed for playing on the losing team? Likewise, no. Blount’s vicious punch and his total loss of control afterward merit the season-long suspension he received. But secretly (slightly?) punishing the player who ignited the debacle by running his mouth leaves this a sportsmanship lesson only half-taught.

RALEIGH — As the latest unemployment figures make clear, North Carolina’s economy remains one of the weakest in the United States. If it were a runner in a footrace, it would be that pale, wheezing fellow near the back of the pack. You know the guy I mean. Back in the day, he was a champion. But then he got lazy and indulged his appetites. His muscles shrank. His waistline exploded. Now, he’s just not a contender anymore — except in his own mind. Like the self-deluded runner, North Carolina’s political class has yet to adjust its regimen to reality. Rather than slimming down and toning up, most politicians in power seem to think that the way to make North Carolina competitive again is to slow down, eat more, and tie heavy weights to its ankles. Do I exaggerate? Consider their agenda. For example, having just enacted state and local tax increases well in excess of $1 billion in 2009, they hope to pass local referenda in 2010 and 2011 to raise sales taxes again. Most of these same politicians supported recent expansions of state regulation than have already made it more expensive to live, work, and create jobs in North Carolina.

One such expansion was the 2007 bill setting a “renewableportfolio” standard. It will raise North Carolina electric bills by hundreds of millions of dollars a year and eliminate thousands of jobs. Their energy itch not yet scratched, most of these same John politicians Hood support Special to The Daily Dispatch

a federal cap-andtrade bill or some state regulatory equivalent to limit carbon dioxide emissions, which would slash private investment in North Carolina, shrink the state’s economic product by billions of dollars, and eliminate tens of thousands of additional jobs. It gets worse. Many of these same politicians celebrated when the federal government inflated the currency and borrowed trillions of dollars to bail out bloated banks, insurers, automakers, and state governments. Then they cheered when Congress and the Obama administration began devising a federal takeover of the health-insurance market, a policy that will

again raise taxes, tighten regulation, and eliminate jobs. With each successive increase in the tax, regulatory, and debt burden, it gets harder for the economy to recover. The odds move a little more against taking new risks, investing in new companies, hiring new talent. Scarce resources flow towards less productive uses. Take a look at the issue of transportation. It’s no secret that North Carolina’s roads and bridges are in a severe state of disrepair, and that for all the billions of dollars collected in car and gas taxes in recent years, the state has failed to invest effectively in new highway capacity. The result has been massive and costly traffic congestion. To return to our runner analogy, the state’s economy can’t keep pace because its circulatory system is clogged. Transportation expert Dave Hartgen, a professor emeritus at UNC-Charlotte, has done more than anyone else to diagnose North Carolina’s circulatory problems and prescribe the necessary remedies. His latest work, published by the Reason Foundation, estimates the future economic costs of congestion in eight metropolitan areas, including Charlotte. Hartgen found that unless

Charlotte chooses the right transportation policies to address five problem areas in and around the city — the airport, UNCC, downtown, and two major commercial and residential developments north and south of town — the region’s economic output will be $22 billion lower than it could be. Charlotte is hardly alone. Hartgen’s previous research demonstrated similar problems with transportation plans in many other North Carolina cities. Nor is the problem one of inadequate taxes. There’s enough money in the system. It’s just being poorly spent on projects with low rates of return, such as rural road paving and urban rail transit, rather than on projects that will actually ease congestion, such as trafficsignal modernization and new road capacity. So here’s my plan to get North Carolina’s economy back into the race. First, tie no more tax or regulatory weights on our ankles. Second, focus on the basics — make North Carolinians safer and better educated. Third, unclog our transportation arteries. Let’s start winning again.

Letters to the Editor Why fear Obama’s talk to students? Because of his message To the editor:

Happy Labor Day: An oxymoron Labor Day. The Rodney Dangerfield of holidays. Nobody knows why it’s treated like the runt of the celebration litter. Maybe it has to something to do with our biological clocks being stuck on elementary school time. Deep down in our bones, we’re anticipating the first Monday of September pounding the final nail into the coffin of our vacation, signaling a return to whatever Will scholastic Durst institution Distributed by we’ve been C agle Cartoons consigned to that semester. Making it as endearing as thunderheads on a picnic morning. Labor Day. The last plastic souvenir sports bottle of lemonade on the dying coals of summer. The beginning of the end of the bright light, and harbinger of the darkness. Swimming pools close. Ice cream trucks tie up their bells and convoy back into hibernation, and Dad suffers his last second-degree hissing bubble burn from the BBQ grill for at least nine months. The dividing line between baseball’s endgame and football’s chrysalis from two-a-day drills into hardcore bowl envy. The solstice is dead. Long live the autumnal equinox. Labor Day. As a kid, I was too busy recoiling from the looming specter of the end of my freedom to pay much attention to the meaning or even the name of the holiday. One 24-hour period carved into the almanac to honor the American worker. Seems a bit of an

archaic sentiment these days. A gesture almost as empty as the candy counter at a Cineplex after a Labor Day weekend Harry Potter festival, especially what with lean and mean being all the rage. And trust me, there is a lot of rage out there. Labor Day. Now might be the perfect time to trot out that old chestnut that if it weren’t for the blue collars there wouldn’t be any white collars, much less $4,500 Brioni grey pinstripe merino wool suit collars. Without labor and the labor movement, we might still be nomads, camping on a frontier, boiling river water to wash down our nightly meal of beans and mush and roots and moss. Getting way too friendly with the livestock. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Labor Day. Admittedly, not the sexiest holiday: There’s no fireworks to watch or ugly birds to cook or chocolate covered bunnies to steal marshmallows from. Just one Monday off for all those ordinary guys and gals trying to make ends meet; raising 2.3 kids, juggling a mortgage while trying to cover the monthly cable bill with at least one premium

channel thrown in. The lifeblood of America’s body politic has always been its workforce, the people (claimants before Judge Judy not included). I’m talking about real folks who don’t think “work ethic” is a dirty word. Or a dirty two words. Or whatever. Labor Day. A calendaric conundrum. A day we celebrate what it is we do for a living by taking the day off from work. Paying tribute not to fancy movie stars or stodgy founding fathers or rich and bloated athletes, but us. The real American heroes. You and me. Okay, mostly you. But allow a guy who memorized his Social Security number at the age of 12 wish you a happy Labor Day. Go out and buy a new notebook and a couple of pens. And a ruler. Nobody buys rulers anymore. Will Durst is a San Francisco-based political comic who writes sometimes. This is one of them. Please catch his new one-man show “The Lieutenant Governor from the State of Confusion,” appearing at a theater near you. Durst is also familiar pundit on television and radio. E-mail Will at durst@caglecartoons.com.

Why is there such an uproar about Obama going nationally Tuesday to speak to all young people in public schools? President Bush did it in 2001. He told the youth to study and work hard to make a positive contribution to our nation. So why the fuss about Obama going on air in our schools? It’s simple. Fear. In just nine months we have seen the government trying to take over more and more of every aspect in our lives. This administration is trying to bulldoze and bully its policy changes on the American people, not taking a hint from what has been said at the numerous town hall meetings across the country. They just keep pushing and pushing. That’s why there is an uproar against him going into the school system. Obama has created a tremendous atmosphere of fear on the hard working American people. Those who are milking our welfare system are not worried. They only stand to benefit from all these changes. It’s those of us who have worked all of our lives to have a decent life who will suffer for these changes. We should not fear our government. We elected these people to serve us, not to beat us down every way they can think of by taking more and more from us. Our government has become an elite society who work every day on ways to stay in office, not to serve us. Thank you, Mr. Obama. Dale Roberson, Oxford

for baby-sitting. Now she expects me to watch them every time she goes shopping or out with her current boyfriend. She has begun spending the night at his house and not calling to let me know I need to take care of the kids when they wake up. I know something needs to change. Am I being selfish, or should I confront her? Please help me. — TEEN SITTER IN ABILENE DEAR TEEN SITTER: By all means talk to her. It will be a good experience in learning to stand up for yourself — a lesson you had better learn quickly, because from where I sit it appears your sister is taking advantage of you. Responsible child supervision costs a lot more than $20 a week, and you should not have to wonder when your sister leaves for work whether you’ll see her again before the next day. What she is doing is palming off her responsibility as a parent onto you. You were sweet to help her in the first place, but it’s time to draw the line. To do that isn’t being selfish; it’s being smart. DEAR ABBY: I have two granddaughters. The older one is 11, and the younger one is 18 months. I know that when the time comes for sweet 16, graduations and, most of all, weddings, I won’t be here to celebrate with them. I would give anything to be able to leave them something that would let them know they were always in my heart and mind. Have you anything special to recommend? — ALWAYS IN MY HEART DEAR ALWAYS: Being able to see you and hear your voice would be a wonderful gift. How about having videos made to be given to your granddaughters when they are 16, about to graduate and planning to be married? I’m sure you would have will fillthoughts to convey DEAR ABBY: I am 15,clientdifferent to them as they reach each of and I have been helping my these significant milestones older sister watch her two in their lives. kids since her boyfriend left If that would be too costly, her five months ago. She has then write letters to be given been paying me $20 a week to them on those occasions. to watch them six hours a And if you have the means, day while she works. I was include a keepsake gift — fine with this arrangement perhaps a piece of jewelry until recently, when she began relying on me completely that belonged to you. DEAR ABBY: My daughter, “Libby,” is about to be married. It’s her third trip to the altar, and her stepfather and I are not in favor of the marriage. After her first marriage -- to a wonderful man -- she had an affair with a married man who became husband No. 2. Within five years, she began another affair with a married neighbor. They are both now divorced and plan to be married later this year in a big church wedding. My husband and I do not want to attend, but Libby has threatened to prevent us from seeing the grandkids if we don’t accept Dear husband No. 3 into Abby our family. Universal Press How Syndicate should we handle this? Should we go to the wedding even though we’re adamantly opposed to it? It’s obvious to us that our daughter needs professional help, which she seeks only when she begins a new affair. But we can’t seem to impress upon her the importance of taking some time off before remarrying for the wrong reasons. — MOTHER OF THE BRIDE — AGAIN DEAR M.O.B.: If only for the sake of your grandchildren, you should attend the wedding and make No. 3 as welcome as you can for as long as he lasts — which, with your daughter’s track record, isn’t likely to be long. She appears to be emotionally unstable. The children need a constant in their lives, so put aside your disapproval and provide them with as much emotional support as you can. You can’t “fix” your daughter — only she can do that -- but you can be there for the grandkids, and that’s what I recommend you do.

Oregon suspends Blount for season

Warren Co. 22, N. Vance 17

By ANNE M. PETERSON AP Sports Writer

EUGENE, Ore. — Star running back LeGarrette Blount won’t play for Oregon again this year. The school suspended him on Friday for the remainder of season after he slugged Boise State defensive end Byron Hout. Blount threw the punch Thursday night following the 16th-ranked Ducks’ 19-8 loss to No. 14 Boise State. As Boise State began celebrating on their famous blue turf, Hout yelled in Blount’s face and tapped him on the shoulder pad. Before Broncos head coach Chris Petersen could pull Hout away, Blount landed a right to

Hout’s jaw, knocking him to his knees. Blount also had to be restrained by police officers from fans heckling him on the way to the locker room. “Football at the University of Oregon is a privilege, and with that privilege goes responsibilities,” said coach Chip Kelly. Blount’s suspension includes any bowl games. He will remain on scholarship, however, and will continue to practice with the team. He must adhere to all team rules. “We will provide him with instruction if necessary for him to succeed. He’s going to practice with this football team, he’s going to student support Please see BLOUNT, page 3B

Eagles upend Vikings

Warren County running game too much for Northern

Webb’s Darquis Thomas stretches out in an attempt to catch a pass during the Warriors’ 26-8 loss to South Granville Friday.

By ERIC S. ROBINSON Dispatch Sports Editor

Trailing heading into the third quarter, Warren County leaned on its running attack to take the lead and put the game away. Kelby Henderson gave the Eagles a 22-17 advantage over Northern Vance on a 37-yard run with 9:31 to go. The Eagle defense forced the three-and-out on what would be the Vikings’ only possession in the quarter. Henderson and Co. ran out the rest of the clock to seal the win. Eagle coach Maurice Crump said the team used the bye week to work on the “nuances” of the flex offense, as well as install the “I” formation. The result was a big improvement over their 39-0 loss against Graham in week one. “(The bye week) was tremendous for us. We put the (‘I’ formation) in this week. We didn’t know how it would work, we knew we had the skill set to run it,” said Crump. Crump credited a young offensive line for making the holes for his backs. “They were tremendous today. They’re young, but I’ve never seen a group block like they blocked tonight.” The Eagles totaled 248 yards on the ground in the game. Henderson had 119 of them on 13 carries. Darrin Wilson had 60 yards on four carries, and Barry Williams ran it 10 times for 56 yards. The Eagles made a change under center during the bye. Sophomore E.J. Miles took over as their starting quarterback in Friday’s game. He was 3-for-13 for 109 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. “He had thrown the ball around in practice, and we saw that he

He knows how to read defenses, so we went ahead and put him in,” said Crump. “We weren’t one-dimensional like we normally have been, and I think that was the key.” For Northern, penalties were detrimental again. Penalties hurt in last week’s loss at Franklinton, and Friday they were penalized 14 times for 155 yards. “We’re just killing ourselves, and until we grow up and be more disciplined and focus a little bit more, we’ll just take it on the chin,” said Viking coach Cedric Crudup. Crudup said the Eagles took advantage of some miscues by Northern linebackers, and said the defense lined up incorrectly a few times. Offensively, the Vikings were

held to just 138 yards. “In the end, they just wanted it more than we did,” said Crudup. Crudup said that his team, still looking for their first win at 0-3, will work on the basics — tackling and blocking — to prepare for South Granville, who defeated J.F. Webb 26-8 Friday. “I’m not giving up. We’re going to make sure the kids don’t give up,” he said. The Eagles wasted no time getting on the board first, scoring on their opening possession. After a 48-yard gain by Wilson put them into Northern territory, Miles completed his first touchdown pass to K.J. Kearney. Javion Henderson rushed in the two-point conversion to make it 8-0. Please see EAGLES WIN, page 3B

The South Granville running game was too much Friday night, and the Vikings took advantage of J.F. Webb mistakes in a 26-8 win. Down 7-0, The Warriors got on the board with a 12yard pass from Joel Adcock to Akeem Daniel. Adcock tossed it to David Evans for the two-point conversion to give Webb the 8-7 lead. South Granville quarterback Tony Byrd heaved up a prayer to the end zone for the last play of the first half. With two Vikings and two Warriors in the area, a South Granville player pulled it down. The PAT made it 14-8 going into intermission. “In a rivalry game, crazy things are going to happen,” said Webb coach Brian Currin. The Warriors had the ball deep into Viking territory after a blocked punt in the second half. They marched down to the two, but lost it on a fumble. The Vikings marched 96 yards on their next possession, converting a few third downs to score the touchdown that made it 20-8. Down 26-8, Webb tried

to make one last effort. They drove it near the red zone, but couldn’t punch it in. South Granville took over and ran out the clock. “It was one of those games where truly four or five plays changed the game,” said Currin. Viking running back Ian Bosley had another big game, rushing for around 200 yards. “He is a great high school running back. He broke tackles, he’s elusive, he’s fast,” Currin said. Webb (1-2) will travel to Bunn Friday. The Wildcats ran over Granville Central 56-8 Friday night. “Our goal is still the same as we had this week — we need to run the ball and we need to stop the run,” said Currin. “Tonight, we didn’t do those things.” Currin noted that the past two meetings between the Warriors and Wildcats have been close. “With Bunn, we know it’s going to be a hardfought game,” he said. “We’ve got to execute, there’s no doubt about it.” Undefeated, South Granville will visit Henderson next week to take on Northern Vance.

Heels cautious going into season opener with Citadel By JOEDY McCREARY AP Sports Writer

Heels host Bulldogs

CHAPEL HILL (AP) — There’s a good reason why North Carolina is approaching its opener against The Citadel with all the intensity and attention of a rivalry. A year ago, the Tar Heels nearly lost this type of game. And if they want to take another step toward becoming an annual contender in the Atlantic Coast Conference, they can’t afford any more close calls against teams from the Football Championship Subdivision.

The Citadel at North Carolina today, 6 p.m. “Every day, you’ve got to bring your lunch pail, no matter who you’re playing,” defensive end E.J. Wilson said. “You could be playing Florida, or you could be

playing (an FCS) team. ... Every opponent deserves the same respect, and that’s one thing we learned. We’re going into the Citadel game just like we’re playing one of our biggest rivals. “It has to be important to you, because every week, you can’t turn it on and off,” he added. “It has to be a consistent, sustained effort — mentally and physically — every week.” When the Bulldogs visit the 21st-ranked Tar Heels on Saturday night, the biggest test coach Butch Davis’ players probably will face is one of focus. The Citadel, the preseason pick

by the media to finish seventh in the Southern Conference, offered little resistance in its finale last season — a 70-19 loss to eventual national champion Florida. Still, for a North Carolina team that dodged embarrassment in last year’s opener — holding off McNeese State 35-27 in a game delayed by lightning — the Tar Heels want to prove they can finish off a less talented team that’s gunning for them. “We’ve just got to realize we have to stay focused in those types of situations, because we went into the locker room for two hours and kind of lost

focus,” quarterback T.J. Yates said. “Those types of teams ... that’s their biggest game on the schedule all year long, and they’re coming out absolutely with everything they’ve got. ... They’re not just going to lay down. They’re going to come at us full-force, so we’ve got to be prepared for that.” Yates is entering his third season as the Tar Heels’ starter, but he won’t have his favorite targets after the exodus of receivers Hakeem Nicks, Brandon Tate and Brooks Foster — who Please see OPENER, page 3B

MLB BoSox closer Papelbon fined for slow pace CHICAGO (AP) — Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon has been fined again for slowing down games. Papelbon was fined $5,000 by Major League Baseball for taking too long to throw his first pitch. A new rule allows pitchers 2 minutes, 20 seconds from the final out of the previous inning to the first pitch. They get 12 seconds to throw once the batter steps into the box. The fine was first reported by the Boston Herald. Papelbon was fined previously this season. “After this, I don’t know, man,” Papelbon told the paper. “I think they’re going to call my parole officer and put me away.” Papelbon has 34 saves in 37 opportunities this season, with a 1.84 ERA.

NFL Bills fire offensive coordinator Schonert ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills coach Dick Jauron is committed to sticking with the no-huddle attack entering the regular season — just not with the offensive coordinator who spent the year installing it. Unhappy with his offense’s dismal performance this past month, Jauron fired Turk Schonert on Friday, a day after the Bills closed the preseason with a 17-6 loss to Detroit. Quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt will take over the play-calling duties, while running backs coach Eric Studesville will continue in his role as run game coordinator. “It was just the lack of productivity and the direction we were moving. I just didn’t feel like it was going certainly where I envisioned it,” Jauron said, at a news conference. “Hopefully, it’ll provide a jolt, hopefully a jolt forward.” Buffalo’s offense certainly needs some type of spark — and one bigger than Terrell Owens is expected to provide — as the Bills turn their attention to opening the regular season at New England on Sept. 14.

Hellickson helps Bulls move closer to division title Special to the Dispatch

FORT MILL, S.C. — Jeremy Hellickson gave Durham seven shutout innings on Friday night, as the Bulls reduced their magic number to two to clinch the South Division title, downing Charlotte 4-1. Hellickson (6-1) allowed a two-out double in

the first inning to Stefan Gartrell, but then retired 16 straight. He allowed two singles in the seventh, but got Justin Knoedler to fly to right to end the threat. Hellickson, who walked none and struck out nine, has pitched 15 scoreless innings in his last two starts. Durham (81-60), which swept a three-game series from Charlotte, got all it

would need in the fourth against Wes Whisler (1012). Joe Dillon walked, and moved to third on Chris Richard's second hit of the night. Dillon came home on a fielder's choice groundout by Sean Rodriguez. Justin Ruggiano and Ray Olmedo followed with run-scoring hits for a 3-0 advantage. Durham added a run on an RBI Rodriguez double

in the next inning for a 4-0 lead. Heath Rollins allowed a solo homer in the eighth. Winston Abreu (15 saves) got the last out in the eighth, and then allowed a hit and a walk to start the ninth. However, he got veteran Wilson Betemit to bounce into a 3-6-3 double play, and struck out Knoedler to end the game.

Serena advances with straight-set win By EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer

NEW YORK — Serena Williams found herself in a time warp Friday, playing against a left-handed serve-and-volley specialist who had a game that brought back memories of Martina Navratilova, even if the talent wasn’t at that level. Williams did what she usually does when the stakes are high — adapted and won. The second-seeded, 11time Grand Slam tournament champion overcame an early break in the second set to defeat Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez 6-3, 7-5 and advance to the fourth round of the U.S. Open. It was an awkward match, full of counterpunches from the game’s biggest power hitter. “I heard a guy in the crowd saying, ‘Stop hitting lobs,’ so I didn’t hit any more lobs after that,” Williams said. “My lob was not working today.” Receiving at 5-all in the second set, Williams chipped back serves, made a few passing shots and found herself at deuce for the eighth time in a game that lasted 12 minutes.

Serena Williams returns to Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez during the third round of the U.S. Open in New York Friday. Martinez Sanchez finally wore out, double-faulting twice in a row to give up the break and, essentially, the match. This was a rematch of a third-round meeting in the French Open, which Williams won in three sets. After that match, Williams said she hit a ball she thought went off her opponent’s arm, and accused Martinez Sanchez of cheating by not acknowledging it. There were no signs of animosity during their rematch on a cloudless,

comfortable, 80-degree afternoon at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Williams said that episode did not motivate her, nor would she cop to having less respect for her 43rd-ranked opponent because of what happened at Roland Garros. “I only can speak for me,” she said. “I try to be very professional, extremely professional in my job. That’s what I’m here to do. And win, I hope.” Williams, who came to her news conference wearing a T-shirt that said, “Can’t Spell Dynasty

Without Nasty,” lost only seven games in her first two matches. She doubled that total Friday in the kind of match that very few have to play on the women’s — or men’s — circuit these days. Serveand-volley is out, power groundstrokes are in. “Every time I play, I say, ‘I’m going to be a serve-and-volleyer,” Williams said. “I even used to like Martina Navratilova and John McEnroe. But I couldn’t play more opposite than them. I love groundstrokes. I love rallies. I love hitting the ball.” Seeking her fourth U.S. Open title, Williams next meets 22nd-seeded Daniela Hantuchova, who defeated American Vania King 6-2, 6-2. Tenth-seeded Flavia Pennetta also moved on Friday, defeating Aleksandra Wozniak of Canada, 6-1, 6-1. No. 8 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus fell to No. 26 Francesca Schiavone of Italy, 4-6, 6-2, 6-2. Kim Clijsters, the 2005 champion who is returning to tennis after a two-year retirement, had a third-round match Friday afternoon against another Belgian, Kirsten Flipkens.

Panthers hope ugly preseason doesn’t carry over By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE — The Carolina Panthers can only hope the preseason really doesn’t mean anything. If the all the missed tackles, fumbles, injuries, mistakes, and depth issues carry over to the real games, there will be a new NFC South champion in 2009. “It’s nothing to worry about, you know, 0-4,” safety Chris Harris insisted minutes after Carolina closed a winless exhibition slate Thursday with a 21-10 loss to Pittsburgh. “The Lions went 4-0 in the preseason and went 0-16 (last year), so you can’t read into the preseason too much. When it starts counting is when it will matter.” Harris, one of five Panthers to miss tackles on rookie running back Isaac Redman’s 10-yard touchdown Thursday, was part of a locker room trying to emphasize the positive. Coach John Fox even claimed the defensive performance was better than a week earlier when Carolina fell flat against Baltimore. “Our first team didn’t get a whole lot of opportunities,” he said. The first team actually played a series longer than the Steelers starting offense — and allowed Pittsburgh’s backups to score. Carolina’s offense managed one first down on seven plays and finished the practice games with

one touchdown in about seven quarters of work. But as Fox and the coaching staff prepare to trim 22 players from the roster by Saturday afternoon, there is hope the Panthers will finally be healthy when Philadelphia arrives for the season opener Sept. 13. Middle linebacker Jon Beason, the Panthers’ top tackler in each of the past two seasons and the leader of the defense, is confident he’ll return from his sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee. Beason, out since Aug. 22, indicated he’ll start running this weekend and plans to practice next week. “I wasn’t supposed to be playing,” Beason said, defiantly. The Panthers need some of that attitude on a defense still stinging from the loss of top run-stuffer Maake Kemoeatu, out for the season with a torn Achilles’ tendon. Newly acquired defensive tackle Louis Leonard played some Thursday and could become the replacement starter, although muchmaligned Nick Hayden did have a tackle for a loss and a shared sack. Safety Charles Godfrey also hopes to play against the Eagles with a cast on his broken left hand, but it could make it difficult to tackle — Carolina’s glaring weakness in the games that don’t count. “It’s one thing we’re correcting,” Harris said. The offense was sup-

posed to be the strong point after it carried Carolina to a 12-4 mark last season. But DeAngelo Williams’ tackle-breaking 25-yard run against Miami was the only touchdown for the first-teamers. Receiver Steve Smith missed a couple of games and the Panthers threw to him little when he played, perhaps to shield him from injury. Williams’ backfield partner, Jonathan Stewart, is the biggest puzzle. The team has had 48 practices since the first April minicamp. Stewart has participated in eight of them — and none since Aug. 10 — with an undefined Achilles’ tendon injury. “Hopefully I’ll be ready for Philadelphia, but we’ll see how things play out,” Stewart said after watching his fourth straight game in street clothes. Cut day Saturday will mean nerves for players such as Jeremy Leman, Mortty Ivy and Hilee Taylor. But the Panthers may also have to adjust

their roster once cuts are in to find someone who can catch a punt. In a preseason where the Panthers had 15 fumbles in four games, many came on muffs. Captain Munnerlyn, Kenny Moore and Larry Beavers all bobbled punts against the Steelers. With Ryne Robinson released last week, the Panthers have no experience at either return job. “Believe it or not, we do practice catching punts,” Fox said. The Panthers won’t practice anything for a while. The team’s next full workout isn’t until Wednesday, when they’ll try to forget everything that happened in the past month and prepare to begin a brutal schedule against the Eagles. “We’ve had so many injuries throughout the preseason it’s been tough to get an indication of what the Panthers are going to be in ’09,” Beason said. “Getting guys healthy, moving forward, I think we’ll be ready to go.” RICHMOND, Va. — These numbers were drawn Friday afternoon by the Virginia Lottery: Pick 3: 8-4-1 Pick 4: 7-6-5-8 Cash 5: 6-10-19-20-23 These numbers were drawn Friday night: Pick 3: 0-0-5 Pick 4: 2-1-0-6 Cash 5: 1-3-15-23-27 Mega Mill.: 2-4-6-21-44 Mega Ball: 37

Mets 6, Cubs 2 NEW YORK (AP) — Cory Sullivan homered and made a diving catch in left field to help New York, boosted by Bobby Parnell’s stellar start, beat Chicago. Pinch-hitter Fernando Tatis came through with a tiebreaking single that triggered a five-run eighth inning. Sullivan had an RBI single during the outburst and Omir Santos added a two-run single. Marlins 9, Nationals 6 WASHINGTON (AP) — John Baker homered and matched a career high with four RBIs, Jorge Cantu also connected and Florida beat Washington, dealing the Nationals their seventh consecutive loss. Cantu and Hanley Ramirez had two RBIs each in Florida’s third straight victory. Burke Badenhop (6-4) allowed one hit over three scoreless innings. Leo Nunez pitched the ninth for his 18th save in 23 tries.

Warren County's E.J. Miles throws a touchdown pass to K.J. Kearney as he is chased by Northern's Brandon Epps and Trey Elam during the first half of the Eagles' 22-17 win over the Vikings Friday night. To view or purchase photos, visit us on the Web at www.hendersondispatch.com. of his senior kicker, who made big tackles on several long Viking returns. “He made four gamesaving tackles on four kickoffs,” said Crump. Branch and running back Eric Jeffries led a methodical drive down into the red zone. From the one-yard line, Jeffries punched it in. The PAT made it 17-14 Northern. Seemingly with the momentum swinging Northern’s way, Jeffries intercepted Miles’ pass on the 35 and ran it into the end zone. The touchdown was negated by a penalty,

however, but the Vikings took over possession at the 43-yard line going in. On third-and-19, Branch scrambled to the outside, but fumbled, and Warren County recovered. Branch finished the game 4-for-15 with 73 yards, one touchdown and one pick. The Eagles drove down to the Viking 20 before turning it over on downs. On their first possession of the fourth quarter, the Eagles let Henderson take over. Several big gainers set up his big touchdown scamper to make it 22-17.

Taking over at the 35 when the kickoff went out of bounds, Northern went three and out after an incomplete pass from Branch. With still a good bit of time on the clock, the Eagles running game converted three big first downs on third-and-short. Driving it down to the Viking 32, Miles was able to take a couple of knees to end it. While he wasn’t pleased with everything he saw Friday night, Crump said he was happy to get the win over a rival on the road. “The biggest thing is we were down in the fourth and we didn’t quit. I think that was the thing I was most proud of.” Warren County (1-1) travels to Weldon next week. Weldon defeated Northwest Halifax 34-26 Friday night, according to The Associated Press. “We persevered and we overcame in the end. We’re just going to build on that and try to be a little bit better against Weldon next week,” said Crump. Contact the writer at erobinson@hendersondispatch.com.

Texans win in preseason finale Texans 27, Bucs 20 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Preseason finales give fringe players one more chance to shine and earn roster spots, which is why Friday night was so important for one-time Super Bowl quarterback Rex Grossman. The former Chicago Bears starter threw two touchdown passes and also produced a pair of field goals, pacing Houston’s 27-20 victory over Tampa Bay and possibly earning a backup job behind Matt Schaub and Dan Orlovsky. On a night when most starters on both teams rested, Grossman returned after missing more than two weeks with a hamstring injury. His only work during the preseason had been one pass attempt in the Texans’ opener. The seventh-year pro, who led the Bears to the Super Bowl in 2006, teamed with Jacoby Jones on an 87-yard scoring play on his first pass, and finished 9 of 16 for 197

yards and no interceptions in three quarters.

Cowboys 35, Vikings 31 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Vikings’ preseason finale did nothing to help coach Brad Childress clear up his murky backup quarterback situation. Tarvaris Jackson played well but only attempted four passes, and Sage Rosenfels threw an ugly interception in the loss to the Cowboys. Jackson, Rosenfels and John David Booty are likely competing for two spots behind Brett Favre, with final cuts due Saturday. Jackson led two touchdown drives and was 2 for 4 for 42 yards, including a 36-yard TD pass to Jeff Dugan. Rosenfels went 7 for 15 for 115 yards with an interception returned for a touchdown. Cowboys coach Wade Phillips rested Tony Romo and most of his regular starters, and it showed. Dallas turned over the ball four times, leading to 21 Minnesota points.

BLOUNT, from page 1B services, he’s going go to class. We’re going to make sure LaGarrette gets the goods. And if this is a teachable moment for him, then he can bounce back from this,” Kelly said. Hout will not be suspended for taunting Blount. Boise State spokesman Max Corbet told The Associated Press in an e-mail that Petersen planned to spend time with Hout this week to help him learn from what happened. Mike Bellotti, who stepped aside as head coach to become Oregon’s athletic director this summer, said the Pac-10 was consulted about the punishment and supported Oregon’s decision. Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott was at the game and saw the altercation firsthand. “We commend the University of Oregon and its leadership for taking swift and decisive action in response to this incident,” Scott said in a statement. “The Pac-10 strongly emphasizes sportsmanship and fair play in all its athletic competitions and expects high standards of sportsmanship from all participants, including student-athletes. In this

case, those standards were not met and the university has taken appropriate disciplinary actions.” After the game, Blount apologized for his actions. On Friday, he was seen having lunch with his teammates following practice. “It was just something that I shouldn’t have done,” said Blount, who had eight carries for a loss of five yards. “I lost my head.” Kelly said both he and Blount cried when discussing the altercation and his punishment. “I think he’s taking this very hard and he understands that he made a mistake, and that he has to pay for that mistake,” Kelly said. Regardless, school president Richard Lariviere called Blount’s behavior “reprehensible.” “We do not and will not tolerate the actions that were taken by our player. Oregon’s loyal fans expect and deserve better,” Lariviere said in a statement. “The University of Oregon Athletics Department is reviewing the situation and will take appropriate action, reflecting the seriousness of the player’s behavior.”

OPENER, from page 1B a year ago combined for nearly two-thirds of North Carolina’s 182 catches. The situation got even worse this week when one of their top replacements, Dwight Jones, was ruled out with a knee injury. With so much uncertainty and inexperience on the offense, most expect North Carolina’s defense — which returns an ACC-best nine starters — to be the strength of the team. Wilson doesn’t. “I know people have been saying that’s one of our question marks, but in my mind, I feel we may not have a lot of experience, but there’s a lot of talent there,” he said. “We’re not asking them to go out there and score

40 points a game. All we need is for them to take care of the ball, for them to score when they get the chance and take advantage of the opportunities, and we’ll have their back.” The best receiver on the field most likely will be the Bulldogs’ Andre Roberts, who led the SoCon with 95 catches for 1,334 yards and 14 touchdowns last season and could be a threat to take snaps in the wildcat formation. “I’m definitely up for anything they put me through this year,” Roberts said. “I know I’m going to be a playmaker for this team, and I have to come out every game and produce. Wherever they need me, they can put me.”

Spiders, Blue Devils meet in opener By AARON BEARD AP Sports Writer

Bama, Tech ready to kick preseason woes away By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA — For Alabama and Virginia Tech, the first game can’t get here soon enough. The No. 5 Crimson Tide and the seventh-ranked Hokies will meet Saturday night in a bowl-like atmosphere at the sold-out Georgia Dome, both looking to score early points in the national championship race after enduring a that-wasn’t-in-the-plans preseason. Virginia Tech lost star running back Darren Evans, who went down in practice with a seasonending knee injury. The sophomore rushed for 1,265 yards while starting just eight games a year ago, and was named MVP of the Orange Bowl. At Alabama, the days leading up to the season opener were filled with offthe-field travails. Defensive end Brandon Deaderick was shot in the arm during a robbery attempt (he’s OK but isn’t likely to play Saturday). Two of the team’s top players, receiver Julio Jones and running back Mark Ingram, needed clearance from the NCAA after taking a Gulf Coast fishing trip with a businessman (they’ll have to repay the cost of the trip). Finally, it’s time to kick things off. And the stakes couldn’t be much higher for the opening weekend. “It’s fun,” Alabama cornerback Javier Arenas said. “You get a chance to prove yourself.” While hardly makeor-break for either team — it’s generally accepted the national champion in today’s highly competitive field will have at least one loss — the Crimson Tide certainly knows the winner of the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic can get a major boost for the rest of the season. Alabama opened at the Georgia Dome a year ago, routing a favored Clemson team ranked in the Top

10. That 34-10 victory propelled the Tide to a 12-0 mark in the regular season, though their national title hopes were dashed by Florida in the Southeastern Conference championship game. Arenas said the atmosphere before last year’s first game was “kind of indescribable. The energy waves going through the Dome, going through the locker room, and even when we were at the hotel. Just excitement and eagerness to get out there and show the country what we were about.” That is no longer in question. In two short years, coach Nick Saban has restored the Tide to its place among the nation’s elite. Now, it’s time to go a step or two beyond last season. “It’s motivating, because we got so close,” linebacker Rolando McClain said. “We can’t change it. We can’t sit here and dwell on it. We’ve just got to get better from it.” Virginia Tech, the defending Atlantic Coast Conference champion, is eager to make a statement on behalf of its basketballleaning league against the mighty SEC. “We are all in this thing together,” coach Frank Beamer said. “A win over a program as good as Alabama would definitely be a big thing for Virginia Tech and the ACC. The other side of it, it doesn’t make your season either way. If you beat Alabama you still have games to play, and if you lose to Alabama you still have games to play.” This game will likely be decided by the quarterbacks and two of the nation’s best defenses. Greg McElroy is taking the snaps for Alabama, stepping in for threeyear starter John Parker Wilson. He’ll look to take advantage of his two prime weapons, two guys who stood out as freshmen and are looking for even bigger things as sophomores.

Favre fined $10K for block By JON KRAWCZYNSKI AP Sports Writer

MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre was fined $10,000 by the NFL on Friday for his crackback block on Houston defensive back Eugene Wilson in a preseason game. The play happened on Monday night at Houston in Favre’s first extensive action since he signed with the Vikings on Aug. 18. The 39-year-old lined up at receiver in Minnesota’s version of the wildcat offense. Rookie receiver Percy Harvin took the snap and started running around the left end in Favre’s direction. Despite playing with sore ribs, the quarterback crouched and threw his body at Wilson’s legs to cut him down. The game was televised nationally and the block

caused an uproar in Houston and elsewhere around the league. Wilson injured his knee on the play and defensive players have long considered that type of block a dirty play. “What was up with that?” Wilson said after the game when asked about the block. “Seriously, what was up with that?” Favre had only been practicing for 14 days since ending his second retirement to join the Vikings. He said he wasn’t trying to injure Wilson and was only trying to help Harvin on the run, and knock a little rust off. “I will be 40 years old in October and (was) weedeating 13 days ago,” Favre said. “I wasn’t thinking about throwing blocks.” The Vikings finish the preseason Friday night with a home game against the Cowboys. Favre is not expected to play.

DURHAM — Thad Lewis still remembers the excitement he felt when he entered his first college game against Richmond. He also remembers the disappointment that came along with it. Lewis was one of seven current seniors who made their Duke debut in that 13-0 home loss to the Spiders, the start of an 0-12 season in 2006. Now they’ll get a second shot at Richmond — the defending Championship Subdivision title winner — on Saturday in a game that they hope will prove these aren’t the

same ol’ Blue Devils now that David Cutcliffe is in charge. The Blue Devils have only nine scholarship seniors, the lowest in the Atlantic Coast Conference. That group won just one game in 2007, a season that led to the firing of Ted Roof and Cutcliffe’s hiring. Last year, Cutcliffe’s first squad was 4-4 entering the final month of the season, but lost its last four games. Now that class has a chance for a strong finish. And while Richmond is ranked No. 2 in the FCS poll, this is the kind of game Duke has to win if it wants to shake its losing ways. “Our team a year ago

should have been a bowl team and I didn’t get it done,” Cutcliffe said. “I mean that sincerely. It makes me cringe a little bit to think about it. This team should be a bowl team. I’ve been doing this a long time. It has the ingredients, it has enough experience in the right places. “I know that throws a lot of pressure on Duke. I know people look at me sometimes like I’m crazy. I just say what I really believe and I don’t have a problem with doing that.” Lewis came on in relief of starter Marcus Jones and played most of the way against the Spiders in 2006, throwing for 148 yards. He

has been the starting quarterback almost every game since that eye-opening loss. “We have grown together and we’ve been through the tough times and been through the good times,” Lewis said. “But we want to make our senior year as good as possible, so we know what we have to do — but we also have to set the example for the younger guys.” Richmond has won nine straight games entering the season, including a playoff win against three-time champion Appalachian State and a 24-7 title-game victory against Montana. Richmond is also coming off a school-record 13 wins last season.

Stricker takes early lead at Deutsche Bank By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

NORTON, Mass. — Steve Stricker birdied his first two holes, and Tiger Woods could see what was coming. Walking to the next tee Friday at the TPC Boston, Woods said to his caddie, “He’s going to shoot 62.” Woods’ instincts were off by one. Stricker shot 63. With superb command of his driver and his typical dose of great putting, Stricker ran off five straight birdies and only once came close to a bogey to share the first-round lead with Jim Furyk in the Deutsche Bank Championship. Furyk, without a victory

in more than two years, shot his 8-under 63 in the afternoon. He had five birdies in his opening six holes, settled in for a diet of pars, then closed with consecutive birdies for his lowest round of the year. They were two shots clear of a group that included Masters champion Angel Cabrera, Justin Leonard, Retief Goosen and Scott Verplank, who had dinner with Stricker on Thursday night and had a minor bout of food poisoning. Stricker felt fine, and looked even better. “To get off to a birdiebirdie start just kind of got the day started in the right direction,” Stricker said. In a reversal, it was

Woods who had the best seat for a great round. The world’s No. 1 player hit ordinary shots to the green, hit one tee shot into the bushes for a penalty shot and failed to convert five birdie chances he had inside 12 feet. He wound up with a 70. “I didn’t really do much of anything positive today,” Woods said. “I didn’t feel good over any shot today. Didn’t drive it very good, hit my irons worse and didn’t make any putts. Other than that, it was a good day.” The PGA Tour Playoffs seem to bring out the best in Stricker. This was the 26th time in 37 rounds during the FedEx Cup playoffs that he shot in the 60s, and

this one included a pair of birdie putts inside 7 feet that he missed. At the middle of his round, however, everything was perfect. “It was unbelievable,” Woods said. “He made one mistake there at No. 7, but other than that, you’d be hard-pressed to find a shot that he hit off line.” First came a wedge that spun back to 4 feet on the par-5 18th, followed by a 15-foot birdie on the first hole, then another wedge to a par 5 that stopped 4 feet away. The pin on the par-3 third hole is hidden behind a bunker, yet it was clear from the loud cheer that Stricker had hit another one stiff.

The steps to healing Two families have been in the news in recent days. The family of Jaycee Dugard, who was found 18 years after her abduction, and the family of the reality TV show, “Jon and Kate Plus 8.” Both families have one thing in common – extreme stress that led to marriage breakdown. The first family did not ask for it, the second is debatable. While most families might not go through such stress or breakdown, they have deep wounds that have never healed. Sadly, the hurts get passed down to the next generation. Just like a physical wound, the sooner the proper healing begins the better it is for all involved. How can this healing take place? Let’s begin with what does not heal: 1. Guilt or blame casting do not work. Our grandparents, Adam and Eve, blamed one another and the rest is history. 2. Halfhearted or brief efforts do not work. Understand that healing is a process that takes time, right guidance and willingness Rev. Abidan Shah to change. Next, underClearview stand the main Baptist causes of marital wounds: 1. Differing expectations of marriage — Shaunti Feldhahn conducted hundreds of surveys with men and women and documented the results in her books For Women Only and For Men Only. One result was that the greatest need in a woman is affection but the greatest need in a man is respect. It’s like going to the auto parts store and ordering a hamburger! 2. Failure to anticipate selfishness in marriage — Our natural bent is to look at things from our own perspective. Instead of becoming the right person, we are always trying to change the other person. 3. Failure to work through difficulties and trials — As Ephesians 4:26-27 reminds us, “Be angry, and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.” Remember, your marriage has an enemy and it is not your spouse. 4. Failure to recognize the changing seasons of life — In his book, Seasons of a Marriage, H. Norman Wright devotes a chapter to each season – season of expectation, season of the 20s and 30s, season of mid-life, and season of the empty nest. Lack of understanding and preparation can be serious. Healing can happen if the following three ointments are applied: 1. Intimate understanding and acceptance of yourself — Many marital conflicts stem from a poor self image and insecurity. Most selfhelp books only lead to more selfish thinking. The Bible will give you the most accurate image of yourself from God’s perspective, as seen in Psalms 139:14 says, “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” 2. Intimate relationship with your mate — Dennis Rainey of FamilyLife gives a short and to-thepoint premise in his book, Staying Close, “Your marriage will naturally move toward a state of isolation.” The goal of every marriage should be oneness that leads to a growing understanding and appreciation of one another. 3. Intimate relationship with God — This is the most essential of the three. It begins when we make the Bible a priority in our lives. As we hear, meditate and obey his word, the Holy Spirit comes in all fullness to occupy our inner being. As a result, the life of Christ becomes real in us and “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13). Now we are able to change, forgive and accept our mate as God’s gift to us. The hurts don’t stop but we have someone who helps us heal and keep growing towards oneness. How about those cases where one partner is no longer available for healing? Ask God to heal you. His grace is sufficient. Contact the writer at ashah22@nc.rr. com or 432-7757.

Christian Coalition leader Ralph Reed seeks redemption after political exodus By GREG BLUESTEIN Associated Press Writer

ATLANTA (AP) — Ralph Reed was once a powerful force in Republican politics, able to marshal millions of religious conservatives to the polls while leading the Christian Coalition. Then his political career took a tumble in 2006 when he was clobbered by a lesser-known opponent in the Republican primary for Georgia lieutenant governor, leading some to conclude Reed’s days as an influential GOP figure were over. But Reed is searching for a dose of redemption. He’s launched a new venture that supporters hope will bolster a Republican Party struggling to find its footing after the 2008 election and a recent string of embarrassing scandals. “I don’t view it as a comeback,” Reed said in a recent interview. “I view it as something I’ve always done — trying to be part of the solution and trying to build at the grass roots.” The startup, known as the Faith and Freedom Coalition, is little more than a Web site, but Reed hopes to turn it into a strident new force that uses social media to capture a broader, younger and more diverse audience. Perhaps most telling, the man who helped cement religious conservatives into a solid GOP voting bloc said he won’t focus his group on social issues, but rather the economic crisis. “This is not the Christian Coalition redux,” Reed said. “It’s a much broader attempt. Our primary focus is jobs, the economy, taxes, creating economic opportunity. That’s the number one issue in the country

Former Christian Coalition leader Ralph Reed pauses during an interview in Atlanta. right now.” The 48-year-old will have his work cut out for him. He could still be dogged by ties to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, and will need to overcome concerns that contributed to his embarrassing campaign loss in 2006. And Reed faces a new political landscape in the aftermath of President Barack Obama’s historic election. Some of his former allies doubt lightning can strike twice. Billy McCormack, a founding member of the Christian Coalition, said Reed helped ignite a conservative base in the 1990s that was like “packed dynamite” searching for a spark. “It’s not likely the second match will produce as much power,” said McCormack, a Loui-

siana pastor who still sits on the coalition’s board. “The likelihood of him being able to repeat that is difficult.” Still, some religious conservatives appear hopeful of his return. There are still plenty of groups seeking to represent evangelicals in the political arena, but former colleagues say Reed’s exodus left a huge void at the grass roots level. “No one is organizing at the precinct and county level like the Christian Coalition did,” said Joel Vaughan, who worked with Reed at the coalition through the 1990s and wrote the recent book “The Rise and Fall of the Christian Coalition: The Inside Story.” “And if Ralph can do that, I say more power to him,”

Vaughan said. Reed was at the helm of the Christian Coalition from 1989 to 1997, leading the organization founded by Pat Robertson to national prominence and helping to transform the Christian right into a political powerhouse. Reed become a rising star of the GOP and earned a cover story in Time magazine. After Reed stepped down in 1997 to court Christian conservative voters for Bush’s 2000 campaign, the group’s influence and fundraising ability began to wane. In 2001, Robertson severed ties with the coalition to concentrate on his ministry. Reed returned to the Atlanta suburbs to help engineer the Please see REED, page 5C

REED, from page 1C of GOP politics in Georgia, then a Democratic stronghold despite its conservative leanings. He chaired the state party during the 2002 elections, when voters elected the first Republican governor since 1872, gained control of the state Senate for the first time in generations and ousted Democratic U.S. Sen. Max Cleland. Reed’s rise eventually met a swift fall. His decision to put a new face forward — his own — turned disastrous in 2006 when he was sideswiped by the scandal involving Abramoff, who had hired Reed’s public relations and lobbying businesses to battle the opening of casinos that would compete with Abramoff’s American Indian clients. Reed was never charged with a crime, nor was he called to testify before a U.S. Senate committee investigating the lobbyist. But few doubt his defeat in the primary at the hands of a little-known state senator was linked to his ties to Abramoff, who pleaded guilty in 2006 to corruption. Those links could continue to

haunt him, analysts and former colleagues say. McCormack said the Abramoff fallout still rankles many of Reed’s former adherents. John Green, a senior fellow at the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, said Reed will have to work to return to the good graces of Christian conservatives. It “hurt him in the eyes of a lot of people who had been supporting him,” Green said. “I don’t know whether it will be a big impediment, but in all likelihood it won’t help him.” And potential rivals say there’s plenty of room for more like-minded movements. “There are 300 million people in America,” said Roberta Combs, president of the Christian Coalition. “There is always room for more people who want to start organizations.” Catholic legal scholar Robert George, who unveiled the American Principles Project to reach conservatives earlier this year, said broad efforts are needed to bolster the conservative brand. “Let a thousand flowers bloom,” said George, a Princeton

NEWS, from page 1C soon, in Goshen, Guyana in South America. On Sept. 13 at 11 a.m., Evangelist Toni Gray Parker from Wilson, who also performs as “Mother Spirit” will bring the message. Music will be performed by the Greater Little Zion Choir and Praise Team. For more information, please contact Tonya Richards at 438-7584.

The Big Ruin Creek Church family will be taking a shopping trip to the Potomac Mills Mall on Sept. 19. Cost of the trip is $30. The bus will leave from Big Ruin Creek Baptist Church at 7 a.m. and return that evening. All those interested in participating should call the church at 492-3330. Money is due by Sept. 6.

The Ministers Outreach Crusade Inc. will be sponsoring a “Landscape to the Future” fundraiser event at the Jonesland Recreational Park in Granville County today. There will be food, games and a chance to win $100 cash. This is an all day event beginning at 9:30 a.m. The public is invited to attend. For more information, please call4306754 or 257-6719.

Bishop James H. Terry of Ministers Outreach Tabernacle will be speaking at a men’s conference on Sept. 12 entitled “Building Spiritual Unity Among Men” at the RZUA Headquarters and Conference Center in Lacrosse, Va. For more information, please call 438-6543.

University professor. “There’s room for plenty. Everyone’s got to be working. And we have to work in all the different vineyards of the social conservative world.” To that end, Reed said his organization is looking to include Jews, Hispanics, blacks and any other group receptive to a fiscally conservative message. “My main interest is making sure this becomes a permanent organization that goes all the way down to the precinct level,” Reed said. “It’s going to look different from the vehicles we have now. It’s going to be younger, it’s going to be more strident. It’s going to be principled but less ideologically reflexive. And it’s going to have a broader issues agenda.” Analysts say Reed’s attempted revival could be a timely foray for Republicans, who are reeling after a few high-profile leaders — including South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and U.S. Sen. John Ensign of Nevada — revealed extramarital affairs. “Most scholars agree there’s room for a group like this

now,” said Green. “Times have changed, some of the older groups aren’t as effective and there’s a niche that has opened up.” And party leaders are eager to expand a base that has increasingly become more Southern and white as Democrats made new inroads among moderate and Hispanic voters, said Republican pollster Whit Ayres. “Outreach to anyone who is not part of the base is always a good place to start when you’re expanding the base,” said Ayres. “A great many AfricanAmericans consider themselves to be evangelicals or born-again Christians, and that’s an obvious target.” How Reed, who has signed GOP strategist Jack St. Martin to run the organization’s day-today operations, will reach out to a range of new potential conservative voters is not yet known. He said he’s not trying to frame economic issues in religious terms, but said the group’s focus could eventually expand to include social dilemmas. Reed offers few details, other

than to say he hopes to use Facebook, Twitter and other social media to reach voters and that his site will include detailed information on political candidates down to the precinct level. He would not discuss the group’s budget. Reed’s former colleagues aren’t counting him out. Critics and allies alike say he has an incessant drive and passion for politics that few can equal — and a savvy understanding of grass roots organizing. Vaughan, who described Reed as a “mix between Alex P. Keaton and Pac-Man” in the coalition’s heyday, said the grass roots maestro could come back stronger than ever. “When I met Ralph, he had the eye of the tiger. Now he’s older, he’s better off financially, he’s at a different stage in life. He’s made his name,” said Vaughan. “I don’t know if he still has the eye of the tiger. But if anyone can do it, it’s Ralph Reed.” ——— On the Net: http://www.ffcoalition.com/

SUDOKU

Today’s answer

HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are in a position of authority and it feels right. That is, until you have to reprimand, delegate a job no one wants or take an assignment from the one who’s not doing it correctly. Well, someone has to be the boss! TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today’s tasks may not be inherently interesting, but you bring something special to them anyhow. There is music in you — a fast, energetic beat that drives you to accomplish your work quickly and with flair. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are excited about your prospects and will explore each option thoroughly. Your attitude will have a positive effect on others, and you can make even the most curmudgeonly character smile. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Upgrades are not always fun. There’s still an adjustment to be made, and you’re not sure that it will all work out for the better. If you can stay flexible and positive, the world will soon be spinning in your hand. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a wild side, but it won’t come out unless called upon. There are only a few people who make you want to change from the purring kitten to the untamed lion, and you’ll run into one of them tonight VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may perceive someone to be in a position of weakness, but unless they agree with your assessment, it is not true. This is true of your own position, too — it’s only as good or bad as you think it is.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2009

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Quick fixes aren’t so quick if they cause you to be indebted to someone in the future. Handle issues in real time, and do it alone if you can. You’ll find that you are even more skillful and able than you thought you were. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be in the mood to expand your gray matter. You’ll ask questions that challenge even those who are extremely knowledgeable. The more you exercise your intelligence the more intelligent you’ll be. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You embrace your part in a cycle. Your job is important for now, but later it will be important that you do a different job. Realizing that everything changes helps you keep a healthy perspective. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have more options than you are currently seeing. Do not form a partnership because you think it will get you out of a tight spot. A “marriage” of convenience is the worst kind. Instead, ask someone wise for advice. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You might be surprised by how things unfold, but you’ll recover from the excitement and quickly get back to your plans. You are highly responsible and will take control of your mood instead of letting it control you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are those who thrive on gossip, and they will be very persuasive today. You might even be tempted to sell your loved ones out by secrets or faults. Better to stay mum and keep your conscience clear.
