City zoning board goes slow on motel use permit Safety violations shut the business down day after fatal shooting By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

The Zoning Board of Adjustment decided to hold off granting a special use permit allowing the reopening of the former America’s Best Value Inn at 200 Parham Road because the board

members want to hear from the owner and/or whoever is going to manage the business. The board, meeting on Tuesday afternoon, agreed to continue the matter until the Oct. 6 meeting after spending more than an hour on the subject of the motel, which the Fire Department shut down on June 15 for safety violations and the day after a fatal shooting on the property. The board members were particularly concerned after hearing in detail from Fire Chief Danny Wilkerson, Police Chief Keith

Sidwell, City Code Compliance Director Corey Williams and City Planning Director Erris Dunston about safety violations and unsanitary conditions at the motel. And the board members were particularly concerned of there being no evidence of a first floor room having been decontaminated after police in December conducted a raid resulting in the shutdown of a methamphetamine laboratory and the arrest of an Arkansas man. The latter at one point Tuesday prompted board member

Marchita Vann to tell the motel owner’s representative, Hitesh Amin, that her question would be, “Are you all really — are whoever — are they really going to be sincere about repairing this hotel/motel?” Amin told the board that all of the issues would be fixed and that the owner, Mahendra Patel, is spending $100,000 on fire alarms. Amin identified himself as from Richmond, Va., and a best friend of Patel, who lives in Nanuet, N.Y. Amin said he worked at the motel in 2001, 2002 and 2003

EDC members during the meeting. Terry Garrison, who belongs to the economic development organization, told the other members that his fellow Vance Commissioners would probably favor paying 75 percent of the rent under the traditional agreement with Granville County, which pays the other 25 percent in local funding for the college. “We would need to know the uses, the programs, those who would be served and the space needs,” Garrison told Watkins. “I think, perhaps, the more specific your request, the more accommodating we can be,” the commissioner added. Earlier in the meeting, Watkins said the EDC should ask the county to fund “the whole 100 percent,” if it can. He told the other members that it might be possible to get a five-year lease for space for the center instead of the usual 10-year agreement. Henderson Investment Development Corporation has a 60-day option — which expires Oct. 16 — to buy the 7,500-square-foot structure from BB&T for $300,000. According to Watkins, the building has been appraised for up to $1.3 million. He said HIDC needs to know by Oct. 9 whether the Small Business Center would be its main tenant.

Arrest in Hargrove shooting The number of suspects wanted by the Vance County Sheriff’s Office in connection with a July 31 fatal shooting is down to two. According to an arrest report, Sumorrius Lamont Waverly, 23, of 1095 Morgan Road was arrested Sept. 4 when he turned himself in at the Sheriff’s office. He is charged with felony conspiracy, felony attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon and felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury. His bond was set at $145,000. In custody on the same charges are Tavon Tabarus Durham, 17, and Jason Ryan Warring, 21. Still at large are Christopher Watkins and Tywan Durham.

and is working for free to help Patel. And Amin, who said he would not be the manager, said the plan is to lease the motel to an unnamed operator in Miami. A problem is Amin has no power of attorney, with City Attorney John Zollicoffer saying, “I think the board wants to talk to somebody who has some responsibility about the ongoing operation.” Amin said 80 percent of the job has been done regarding the fire alarms and said electrical

fled in a maroon Chevrolet Impala reported stolen from Durham. The car was found abandoned off Hawley School Road, with police saying the car had apparently run out of fuel. Hawley Middle School, Creedmoor Elementary School and the South Granville High School campus were placed on lockdown until 1:30 p.m. because the robbery occurred near those locations. Anyone with any information is urged to telephone Granville County Crime Stoppers at (919)

693-3100. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest and a conviction. This is the third RBC location in the Tri-County area to have been victimized by a stickup the last several months. The RBC at 155 Hillsboro St. in Oxford was robbed on April 24 and the RBC at 1207 Dabney Drive in Henderson was robbed on Dec. 5. Durham Herald-Sun reporter Keith Upchurch contributed to this story.

They are as follows: •The property must not be an extended stay location. •There cannot be any cooking in the rooms. •The driveway needs to be unblocked. •The fire alarm system needs to be brought up to code. •The electrical system needs to be brought up to code. •The second floor needs to be brought up to code. •Results need to be provided for a decontamination of the room in which police found a methamphetamine laboratory. •The swimming pool needs to be tested. •An updated health inspection is needed. •The sewer pumping station needs to be up to code. •If a kitchen will be operated, then a grease trap needs to be installed. And the committee wants to know whether the conference room will be rented out. there is a problem. Board member Cathy Ringley wanted to know about whether the property could meet codes with appropriate intervention and management. Dunston said, “I think it’s going to take a lot to get it where it needs to be.” Amin said the property was not maintained because business had gone down and cited the downturn in the nationwide economy. And Amin, in response to Sidwell saying rooms were rented for as low as $5, countered, “There must be some misunderstanding somewhere” because $5 would not buy two gallons of milk. Amin said what he believes happened is the front desk person said the motel would accept $5 less than the nightly rate for a room. The motel, which is located off Interstate 85 and North Garnett Street, was once part of the Howard Johnson chain. Board member Ruxton Bobbitt made the motion on Tuesday to continue the matter until Oct. 6, with Ringley seconding. There was no dissent, although Badger

paused before voting yes. Zollicoffer told the Dispatch the board will meet at 3 p.m. and go take a look at the property. Contact the writer at bwest@ hendersondispatch.com.

Corrections The amount of $2,639 is the City of Henderson’s one-twelfth share of the local match of $31,660 for a $316,600 grant from the Federal Assistance to Fire Fighters Grant Program for VIPER end-user radio equipment. The city’s share was incorrectly stated in Wednesday’s Daily Dispatch story on the effort to supply local emergency response personnel with portable and mobile radios needed to use the State-wide Voice Interoperability Plan for Emergency Responders (VIPER) network. *** Elections for Henderson City Council seats with expired terms will be held Oct. 6 instead of Oct. 3, as incorrectly stated in a story in Wednesday’s edition of The Daily Dispatch.

York, Amin in Richmond “and somebody in Florida.” Sidwell repeated what he told the Clean Up Henderson Committee on Sept. 2 about being told by the clerk and the manager about nightly room rates generally being $30, but with $5 being a sufficient payment if one did not have the $30. And Sidwell repeated what he said Sept. 2 about a long-term resident having lived in deplorable conditions. And Sidwell noted police had to wait for a maintenance man to go to Lowe’s Home Improvement to get wood to properly secure the place because bullets had shattered one of the doors. And Sidwell noted the entrances to the parking lot were cordoned off with used mattresses, tires and pieces of wood. Sidwell said there had been numerous calls to his department about disorder and large crowds, adding, “It was a great source of frustration for the people with a permanent residence that are around that area.” Williams said his concern focused on what was there and who was there. “We ran into one incident where there was a gentleman who had just had surgery who had been staying there and had the care people coming in and out to care for him as if that was his home,” Williams said. Dunston said she went to the property on Aug. 31 and said there were still issues with the first floor room in which the methamphetamine laboratory had been located, with a burned out room on the second floor, with moisture, with boarded up doors and with “shot out” doors. And Dunston said there were issues of leaking and there was evidence of portable cooking devices within the rooms. Dunston said there were other rooms that “probably” needed to be decontaminated. And Dunston said a photograph showing a red light on above the sewer pumping station means

work would start this week. Wilkerson said his department responded on June 15 to an anonymous complaint about unsafe conditions at the motel. The state fire code requires a yearly inspection, but Wilkerson said his department had been to the motel three different times and had always found violations. Wilkerson said what concerned him on June 15 “is we found 13 rooms that opened out to the outside on the ground floor that were locked by a piece of wood in the sliding track of the door.” And Wilkerson noted the wood was held down with steel bolts. “And if you had a fire out in the hallway, the only way out is to go through something through that glass door to get out,” Wilkerson said. “And that was a life safety issue. And I saw enough right then.” Additionally, the fire alarm system was not working and the second floor, which had been closed to all but the manager’s room after a fire, had two other occupied rooms, Wilkerson said, noting the motel had been warned many times about the second floor. Regarding the methamphetamine laboratory, Wilkerson said, “It’s never been professionally decontaminated to my knowledge.” Wilkerson said he did not know whether the room in which the laboratory had been located had been rented since then, but he said adjacent rooms had been rented. Wilkerson said that, on Aug. 31, he was disturbed when he returned to the property and saw the problem with the locked doors had not been corrected. Wilkerson added that, on a previous visit on May 27, additionally in response to an anonymous complaint, he found electrical and fire alarm issues and burned out exit lights. Wilkerson additionally recalled the June 15 closure of the motel as “a very trying day” because the city was dealing with Patel in New

OXFORD — Departing City Commissioner Bob Shope is backing Frank Strickland for mayor over incumbent Al Woodlief and is backing Ron Bullock, Sue Hinman, Jackie Sergent and David Wicker for the commission. Shope on Wednesday announced his endorsements for the Nov. 3 election. Shope and fellow Commissioners Paul Kiesow, Steve Powell and Chance Wilkinson are not seeking re-election,

meaning all four of the commission seats up for election are open. Meantime, 14 candidates are seeking election to the commission. Oxford’s mayor serves a two-year term and the city’s seven commissioners serve staggered four-year terms. Woodlief, a retired radio station owner, served as a commissioner from 1987 before being elected mayor in 2001. Strickland, who is chief of campus security at Meredith College, is challenging Woodlief for the third consecutive time. Of Shope’s preferences for

Deaths Thomas H. Paynter Sr. HAMPTON, Va. — Thomas H. “Wilber” Paynter, Sr., known to his loved ones as Wilber, passed away on Monday, September 7, 2009 at The Gardens of Warwick Forest. He was born on October 15, 1926 at the Paynter family house in Carolina. He graduated from Norlina High School and went on to join the U.S. Army, serving his country proudly in WWII. On March 12, 1954, he married the love of his life, Lottie, and soon after relocated to Hampton. Wilber lived in Hampton for over 55 years and retired from Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. after 42 years of service. Wilber helped his local community by actively serving as a volunteer firefighter for Northampton Fire Dept. and did so for over 22 years. The entire family has been left with fond memories of time spent with “Daddy”, “Grandpa” or “Uncle Wilber”. Quite traditional in many ways, Wilber loved tinkering around the home, doing yard work, and completing the “honey-do” list Lottie always had for him. Wilber loved spending time with his family; he especially made time for the children in his life. From his son’s childhood, his grandchildren’s growing up, as well as his nieces and nephews, Wilber had the ability to make a child smile and always feel loved. He found fulfillment in giv-

Dorothy E. Mitchell HENDERSON — Dorothy Eubanks Mitchell, 83, a resident of Oakridge Avenue, died Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2009, at her home. Born in Vance County on Aug. 9, 1926, she was the daughter of the late Bosher Wayland “B.W.” Eubanks and Nannie Hicks Eubanks. She was a homemaker and a member of Raleigh Road Baptist Church.

ing to others and never held a grudge. Wilber always thought the best of people and forgave others without hesitation. God gave us the most kind hearted, thoughtful, and loyal man we could have ever imagined. God has called Wilber back home but the time he spent here with the family will be cherished forever. Wilber was preceded in death by his parents, Luther and Roxanna Paynter; his wife, Lottie; brothers, Charlie Morton, Arthur and Johnny; as well as his sister, Shirley. A loving father, grandpa, uncle and brother, Wilber was greatly devoted to his family and will be missed tremendously by those he leaves behind to cherish his memories, son, Thomas Holt Paynter, Jr. and his wife, Melba; three grandchildren, Crystal, T.H. and Melinda; five great-grandchildren; two brothers, Wallace and Herbert; sister, Elizabeth; and many nieces and nephews, whom he loved and cared for dearly. The family would like to thank the Northampton Fire and Rescue Squad, The Gardens of Warwick Forest staff and all of the physicians and nurses who over the years have helped and cared for someone very special to us, a man we loved so much. The family will receive friends from 7-9 pm on Friday, Sept. 11 at Blalock Funeral Home in Warrenton, N.C. Funeral services will be held at 1 pm on Saturday, Sept. 12 at Blalock Funeral Home with burial to follow in Fairview Cemetery. Peninsula Funeral Home is in charge of local arrangements.

In other business, the commissioners agreed to apply for a $40,000 grant from the N.C. Rural Center for a plan/feasibility study for a proposed sewer line along U.S. 1 South. The grant requires a 10 percent match of up to $4,400 from the County.

Obama on health care: ‘Time for bickering is over’ WASHINGTON (AP) — Shaking off a summer of setbacks, President Barack Obama summoned Congress to enact sweeping health care legislation Wednesday night, declaring the “time for bickering is over” and the moment has arrived to protect millions who have unreliable insurance or no coverage at all. Obama said the changes he wants would cost about $900 billion over decade, “less than we have spent on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and less than the tax cuts for the wealthiest few Americans” passed during the Bush administration. In a televised speech to a joint session of Congress, Obama spoke in favor of a provision for the federal government to sell insurance in competition with private industry. But in a remark certain to displease liberals, he did not insist on it, and

said he was open to other alternatives that create choices for consumers. Obama said he remains ready to listen to all ideas but added in a clear reference to Republicans, “I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it’s better politics to kill this plan than to improve it.” In an unusual outburst from the Republican side of the House chamber, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., shouted out “You lie” when the president said illegal immigrants would not benefit from his proposals. The president paused briefly and smiled, but from her seat in the visitor’s gallery, first lady Michelle Obama shook her head from side to side in disapproval of the interruption. In general, the president shied away from providing lawmakers with a list of particulars he wants to see

included in the legislation, and there was nothing in the speech to invite comparisons with Bill Clinton’s pen-waving veto threat more than a decade ago on health care. Obama’s speech came as the president and his allies in Congress readied an autumn campaign to enact his top domestic priority. Republican opposition, contentious town hall meetings and drooping polls have contributed to their woes. An AP-GfK survey hours before the speech showed public disapproval of Obama’s handling of health care has jumped to 52 percent, an increase of 9 percentage points since July. While Democrats command strong majorities in both the House and Senate, neither chamber has acted on Obama’s top domestic priority, missing numerous deadlines leaders had set for themselves.

Perdue signs beefed up consumer protection law RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina consumers soon will have new protections from foreclosures and intimidating debt collection practices. Gov. Beverly Perdue on Wednesday signed into law a bill approved by the Legislature last month and backed by Attorney General Roy Cooper. Once the new law takes effect next month, it will allow a clerk of court to postpone a foreclosure hearing for up to 60 days to allow a homeowner more time to work out a payment plan with the mortgage holder and remain in their home. “During this recession, thousands of North Carolinians have lost their homes because of foreclosure,” Perdue said. “When a home is foreclosed it’s bad for our families, it’s bad for our communities, it’s bad for our businesses and it’s bad for North Carolina. This bill makes it easier for homeowners to work out a deal with their lenders and avoid

foreclosure.” The bill also sets out new rules for companies that attempt to collect from consumers on old debts from credit cards or other unpaid bills. The law extends regulation to debt buyers, who Cooper said have engaged in overly aggressive debt collecting practices. Debt buyers pay credit card companies, hospitals and others a fraction of the full amount due on unpaid accounts, then work at forcing debtors to pay up. The state law extends debt-collection regulations to cover the law firms that often file lawsuits to collect the cash. Critics say debt buyers often pursue collection even when it is barred by law, such as when the debt is discharged after bankruptcy or has lingered beyond the legal collection deadline. “In a lot of cases, there’s no liability on the part of the individual,” said Sen. Tony Rand, D-Cumberland, who sponsored the legislation.

Beginning next month, debt buyers who try to collect on a debt that they should reasonably know is blocked by a statute of limitations could face lawsuits and civil penalties of up to $4,000 per violation. The state law also will require debt collectors to provide documents proving they own the accounts they’re trying to collect. Taking a debtor to court will require records including the original account number of the debt, the name of the original creditor, and an itemization of charges and fees the current creditor claims is owed.

N.C. airline maintenance firm cuts up to 215 jobs WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Pace Airlines Inc., a charter airline and maintenance company, has cut up to twothirds of its 300-member work force just weeks after losing a major maintenance contract with Continental Airlines Inc. Pace Airlines cut between 125 and 215 employees at its maintenance operation in Winston-Salem, the Winston-Salem Journal reported Wednesday. The company had about 300 local full- and part-time workers. Pace also has operations in Atlantic City, N.J., and Dallas. Company owner William Rodgers Sr., declined to

specify how many jobs were cut. Rodgers bought the company in June and pledged a 120-day program to improve its finances. In a memo to employees Friday, Rodgers said he had secured “a multimillion-dollar line of credit” with a source he did not identify. The money was supposed to be available to the company by Wednesday. Late last month, Pace lost a contract to perform heavy-maintenance checks on some of Continental’s 737 aircraft. The Winston-Salem company had landed the deal, which was supposed to run through at least 2010, in December 2007.

Pace employees said they have had little work to perform since losing the Continental contract. Pace also runs a charterairline service from its base at Winston-Salem’s SmithReynolds Airport. The company owes the Airport Commission of Forsyth County more than $888,000 in overdue lease payments. Pace started falling behind on its $145,000-amonth rent in October, airport commission chairman Tom McKim said, but has made partial payments from time to time. The commission didn’t want to lose Pace as an airport tenant, he said.

Daily Meditation And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Luke 15:2-7

Our Opinion

SAT a measure of preparedness, and of desire for more Recently released SAT results for Vance County high school seniors of 2009 were good, and not so good. While local public school seniors fared better on the test in 2008-09 than in previous years — a total of 54 points better, to a 1,291 (out of 2,400 possible) on average — the numbers still have a long way to go toward equalling the statewide average score (1,486) and the national average (1,509). More important, the percentage of Vance County public school seniors who took the test plummeted, from roughly half of all seniors in 2007-08 to only about 37 percent of seniors last year. In reality, the decline in participation is likely accountable for the rise in Vance County’s scores. Nationwide, the states in which SAT participation is lowest traditionally are those where the average score is highest. That’s because as participation falls, only the higher achievers remain — those most likely to attend college and thus to need an SAT score on record. We’re not certain why the number of Vance County students who were willing to take the SAT dropped so sharply last year. Perhaps the economy was a factor, as a representative of the school system suggested. The test costs about $50 to take, and it isn’t necessary for local students who intend to save money by staying at home and attending VanceGranville Community College. (VGCC will accept an SAT score for admission, but will also admit high school grads or GED-holders who pass the college’s own entrance exam, without taking the SAT at all.) And, thankfully, Vance officials seem intent upon increasing participation — not decreasing it for the sake of higher scores. Some districts around the country have been criticized for discouraging average and lower-achieving students from taking the SAT in order to boost the district’s mean score on the exam. In these times of economic hardship, more than ever it is apparent that education is key to a rewarding career and a comfortable lifestyle. We hope that the decline in local seniors taking the SAT is not a sign that local kids have lost interest in college; only a temporary dip in participation that will be erased as some of the Vance County Schools’ more recent educational initiatives — such as the Freshman Academies at Northern and Southern Vance and at the new Early College High — take hold and better prepare our youngsters for graduation and beyond.

Quotable “The truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. You won’t click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.” — President Barack Obama, in a speech to the nation’s schoolchildren.

Well, that was close. Surely, we are all relieved that at least some children were protected this week from the diabolical Barack Obama. It was touch and go there for a while after the White House announced its plan for the president to give a back-to-school address to America’s kids. They might have gotten away with it, too, but for conservative pundits and politicians who spent last week raising a ruckus about this scheme to indoctrinate our youth into the president’s socialist cult. They were able to persuade an untold number of schools to prohibit Tuesday’s speech from being shown on campus and an untold number of parents to keep their children home. By this decisive action, untold millions (thousands?) of our kids were saved from exposure to subversive sentiments like “pay attention,” “listen to your parents,” and “every single one of you has something to offer.” That mission accomplished, one wonders if conservatives will be equally energetic in rescuing kids from other things that threaten them. Our children need all the

help they can get, after all. They are coming of age in an America where, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in four girls between ages 14 and 19 is infected with at least one of four dangerous Leonard sexuallytransmitted Pitts diseases Distributed by (human Cagle Cartoons papillomavirus, chlamydia, genital herpes, trichomoniasis). An era where, according to the National Center for Children in Poverty at Columbia University, more than 13 million kids live below the poverty line. An era where, according to the Education Department, despite noteworthy progress in recent years, one in four public school eighth-graders lacks basic grade level reading skills, and one in five fourthgraders can’t do the math. What’s arguably more frightening in the long view is

that they’re coming of age in an America so hyper-partisan, shrill, silly and incoherent that a pep talk to school kids — surely the most plain vanilla presidential duty this side of pardoning the turkey at Thanksgiving — gets treated like it was Osama bin Laden giving an al-Qaida recruitment speech in lower Manhattan on Sept. 11th. It is an absurd controversy, but in a nation of birthers and truthers, death panels and tea parties, absurdity has become our default setting — as has political violence, whether rhetorical or real. Last week, for goodness’ sake, we heard about a health care reform proponent “biting off the finger” of someone who disagreed with him. Meanwhile in Arizona, an alleged Christian minister made headlines preaching and praying for the president’s death. If America were a person, you’d sedate it. You might even have it committed. This is not politics, it’s a temper tantrum, a national hissy fit that calls into question — and not for the first time — whether a nation so vast and varied still can, or still wants to be, a nation.

A few days ago, a woman running for office in Pennsylvania e-mailed me about her encounter with a voter who objected to the idea of, as he put it, paying for his neighbor’s health insurance. She reminded him that to live in a society is to be interdependent. We all pay for libraries, we all pay for national defense and we all pay to school our kids. Except, he said he doesn’t want to pay to educate someone else’s kids, either. We are “not” interdependent, the man insisted. We are alone, each man in it by and for himself. You might call that view an aberration. My fear is that it is a harbinger. My fear is that we are a people stampeded by and toward political extremes, and that in our shrillness, our ignorance, our paranoia, hatefulness and fear, we dig a trench through common ground and make this nation ungovernable. If we want to save our children from anything, maybe we ought to save them from that. Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald, 1 Herald Plaza, Miami, Fla., 33132.

Letters to the Editor Health care bill too expensive, deadly to seniors To the editor: The Health Care Legislation contains too much spending outside of health care. It is a conspiracy by the Democrat congressmen to commit mass murder on the elderly, starting with persons age 60 and above with health problems. Persons 70 and older are considered worthless and will be denied health care and offered pills to go to the great beyond. If this health care reform plan is considered to be so great, why does it exempt the president and family, the gongress and the senators and their families?

Brain-dead mudslingers Score one for the right wing. Conservative witch hunters, notably Fox News’ Glenn Beck, are claiming victory for hounding President Obama’s green jobs czar out of office. Yet the victory also highlights a gaping deficit in America’s conservative movement. They’ve become more adept in recent years at trashing liberal ideas than at coming up with some new ones of their own. Van Jones, a San Francisco Bay-area activist for environment-friendly “green-collar” industries, resigned as the president’s special adviser for environmental jobs after weeks of mud slung up against him by Beck and other conservative media pundits. His credentials are outstanding, but these are politically polarized times. At a time when nervous parents were threatening to pull their children out of school, for example, ironically to avoid hearing President Obama speak about the value of education, the outspokenly progressive Jones hardly had a chance. At 40, Jones is a bright, charismatic organizer who came up from a small-town Tennessee childhood to graduate from Yale Law School and become a rising star in the world of environmental activism. He’s author of a New York Times best-seller “The Green Collar Economy,” and was named by Time Magazine this year as one of the “100 most influential people in the world” and by Fast Company magazine last year as one of the “12 Most Creative Minds.” Like Obama, he has a knack for reaching across lines of race, class and political parties — until now, anyway — to create jobs and help save the environment. At the center of his vision is the creation of “green collar” jobs, a phrase he popularized for jobs that can provide family-supporting wages and upward mobility to higher skills, and help save the planet, too.

“We’re asking questions progressives like but we’re giving answers that conservatives should like,” he said at last month’s National Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas. “We’re not talking about expanding welfare, we’re talking about expanding work. We’re not talking about expanding entitlements, we’re talking about expanding enterprise and investments. ...We should be to stand Clarence able together and Page be one country on this.” Tribune Media Yes, we Services should. But while Jones was calling for “one country,” Beck and Company were digging into his background like a political campaign’s hit squad to smear Jones as a “communist-anarchist radical.” Yes, Jones dabbled in radical politics in his younger days, but that was then. Beck and Company apparently don’t think much of political redemption, at least not when it is claimed by a liberal. Most embarrassing to Jones are YouTube videos of him speaking his mind before he was appointed to his White House post. They include a well-publicized vulgarity that starts with “A” and has an “H” in the middle. He employed the A-word to describe Republicans during a February meeting. He’s apologized, but the flap made him too big a headache for the Obama White House. He also apologized for signing a petition in 2004 that called for further investigation of the Bush administration’s actions before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks — although he was hardly the only person in 2004 who wanted to know more about how

DEAR ABBY: I’m not against spontaneous cleaning (I do it myself), but the fact that the wife would rather clean than spend time with her husband tells me she’s either unable to read his signals or she just doesn’t care to be close and intimate with him. It also shows a lack of judgment, compassion and understanding on her part. If the situation were reversed and he had decided he’d rather watch sports than be with his wife, I’m sure she would have been equally upset. I don’t think the rules should be different for men and women in this regard. And yes, I am a woman. — HEATHER IN KANKAKEE, ILL.

DEAR ABBY: Men just don’t get it! Women don’t have on/off switches like men do. Atmosphere is very important for us. My husband enjoys “getting close” in the mornings, too -- but I usually wake up with my to-do list running in my head. It is very difficult for me to get in the mood when there’s work to be done. Obviously, the wife in that letter wasn’t ready to play. Instead of getting upset, her husband should have gotten creative and helped to set her mood. —BRENDA IN FORT WORTH

DEAR ABBY: It appears that these days couples never have time for each other. Instead, they have their “individual” priorities before their “married” priorities. When you compare the life expectancy of women vs. men, that woman will probably have years to clean the shower by herself without worrying about her mate. — KEN IN SULPHUR, LA.

DEAR ABBY: At the age of 72, having had two spouses over the years, I need to put in my two cents regarding the letter from “Still Hot and Bothered in Georgia” (July 8). I have learned that some women won’t say “no!” to a husband’s amorous advances, especially in the morning. But they will try to distract him by scrubbing the tub, spotting a spider on the wall, feeding the cat or saying she forgot to fold the laundry and has to do it before it wrinkles. Whether it’s conscious or unconscious, they do it to cool their husbands off on a “hot” morning. “Still Hot and Bothered” may Dear need to give some Abby thought to Universal Press what turns Syndicate his wife on or off -- especially the timing. After all, we are from Mars and they are from Venus. — ALEX IN BLUE BELL, PA. DEAR ALEX: I agree that timing is important. My office was showered with responses from readers who were steamed over my response to that letter. Read on:

Gardner-Webb was chosen because it was Division I, but the fact that most of their scheduled opponents are close in proximity was also a factor in Ryan’s decision.

PITTSBURGH — The stomping their Terrible Towel took on the Tennessee Titans’ sideline last December was nothing compared to the trampling the Pittsburgh Steelers took on the field. The Titans were Steelerslike in the way they manhandled Pittsburgh up front, hurried Ben Roethlisberger into mistakes, and were more physical. Tennessee’s 31-14 victory on Dec. 21 was Pittsburgh’s only loss in its final 10 games, and it made fans of both teams eager for the rematch. It never took place — until now. The Titans and Steelers, teams that always stay in character amid the constant changes that swirl around them in the NFL, open the new season Thursday night by playing the game that was anticipated in January. The Steelers cooperated — they won the Super Bowl — but the Titans were derailed by Baltimore in the divisional round, and the Ravens then lost to Pittsburgh. The Titans started 10-0, finished 13-3 and have spent the last seven-plus months pondering how their season — and perhaps the Super Bowl — got away from them. To the Steelers, the most indelible image of that Titans rout was running back LenDale White and several teammates tromping on Terrible Towels. The sideline stomp has been replayed countless times

From Webb to Gardner-Webb Warrior senior verbally commits to Division I college By ERIC ROBINSON Dispatch Sports Editor

He may not be as tall as most major leaguers, but Ryan Allen knows the game of baseball. At five-foot-seven and 130 pounds, Allen has been clocked at 86 mph on the gun. He was a key contributor during the best season for J.F. Webb baseball in recent history. The Warrior junior has not gone unnoticed by college scouts. During a visit to Boiling Springs this past weekend, Allen verbally committed to play baseball at Gardner-Webb next year. Allen said he was happy to make the decision heading into

his final year of high school. “It felt good because I get to know where I’m going before my senior year,” he said. Allen visited the school’s campus to attend a camp last December. After Gardner-Webb scouts saw him play in the State Games this summer, he received a call on July 1 — the first day a recruit could be contacted via telephone. Allen’s father, Raymond, said the school kept in contact and tried to schedule a visit. “They really liked him,” he said.

Clemson’s C.J. Spiller runs for a 96-yard kick off return for a touchdown during the first quarter of their game against Middle Tennessee State Saturday. The Tigers will play Georgia Tech tonight.

ATLANTA — Jonathan Dwyer wishes he was a little more agile, like Clemson’s C.J. Spiller. “When he has the ball in his hands, you better keep your eyes open because he might be down the field if you make one blink,” Dwyer said. “Any time he touches the ball, it’s going to be a show.” Not that Dwyer is any slouch himself. Georgia Tech’s junior running back is the reigning Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year, and he broke off a 74-yard touchdown run the first time he touched the ball this season. Both Dwyer and Spiller are likely to put on quite a show

when the No. 15 Yellow Jackets (1-0) host the Tigers (1-0) on Thursday night in the ACC opener for both schools. Spiller had one of the best games of his career against Georgia Tech as a freshman in 2006, becoming the only player in Clemson history to have a 50yard touchdown run AND a 50yard scoring catch in the same game. Most remember the pass play, which was nothing more than a short throw he turned into something special. Spiller made two guys miss along the sideline and scampered all the way to the end zone, sparking the Tigers to a 31-7 victory. “We just had a simple curl play called,” coach Dabo SwinPlease see MATCHUP, page 2B

NBA Iverson tweets he’s going to Memphis MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Allen Iverson will be a fan attraction for the Memphis Grizzlies — from the very beginning. The Grizzlies confirmed Wednesday they have agreed in principle to a contract with Iverson, hours after the guard tweeted he was heading to Memphis. And the team scheduled a Thursday news conference open to the public at FedExForum. Iverson would become the highest profile player ever to put on a Grizzlies’ uniform. “We anticipate signing him to a contract very soon,” Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace said. Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley wants Iverson to provide a big-name attraction for a team that struggled to attract fans to the plush FedExForum to watch a young team rebuilding through the draft. Iverson, the first overall draft pick in 1996 and the league MVP in 2001, can provide valuable minutes and scoring off the bench needed by a franchise that went 24-58 and tied for the fifth-worst record in the NBA last season.

NFL Despite offseason, Peppers voted captain CHARLOTTE (AP) — His Carolina Panthers teammates insisted defensive end Julius Peppers’ offseason efforts to leave town hadn’t affected his standing in the locker room. On Wednesday they proved it through the ballot box, voting Peppers a defensive team captain. “It’s a tribute to what he has done here. He’s been the face of the defense for what, eight years now,” said linebacker Jon Beason, voted the other defensive captain. “I think guys know that he’s a quiet leader, but he takes care of his job. I think looking at it, making him team captain is saying, ’Look, we expect you to play like that.”’ Peppers had a career-high 14 1/2 sacks last season in the final year of his contract. He soon pleaded with the Panthers to let him leave in free agency. He said he had “maxed out” in Carolina and wanted to play outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense. The Panthers still placed the franchise tag on him, which included a one-year deal for an NFL-high $16.7 million. After skipping all offseason workouts, Peppers finally signed the tender. He showed up to training camp on time and hasn’t missed a practice while mostly avoiding reporters. “I think his teammates know him a lot better than maybe the media does,” coach John Fox said. “I think it says a lot about who he really is when your teammates vote you a captain.”

The Henderson Middle School football team won their season opener Wednesday, while the Eaton Johnson Cougars suffered a loss. The Rams shut out Hawley 22-0, led offensively by Demetrius

Alexander’s three touchdowns on 13 carries and 265 yards. Qualik Shearin carried it six times for 45 yards and scored on a two-point conversion. Defensively, the Rams were led by their female linebacker, Emonee Glover. Glover tallied 11

tackles on the day. Charlies Kersey had seven tackles, and Jacquez Bullock and William Henderson each had six tackles. HMS plays Tuesday against Butner-Stem at Southern Vance at 5 p.m. Terrence Thorpe scored a touchdown on a 60-yard

run, but it would be the only score for the Cougars in their 18-6 loss to Northern Granville. Barry Bobbitt and Chris Cheek were the leading tacklers with eight apiece. EJMS has a bye week next week before they face Warren County the following week.

Bulls take Game One from Bats, 8-3 Special to the Dispatch

After falling behind 3-0, the Bulls rallied for eight unanswered runs to claim game one of the first round of the International League playoffs, 8-4 over the Louisville Bats Wednesday at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Louisville got on the board first in the second inning with a two-run home run from Juan Francisco over the wall in left-center off Bulls starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson. Hellickson was taken deep again in the fourth inning, this time from Chris Denove for a solo homerun

to make the score 3-0. Hellickson lasted five and two-third innings, allowing three earned runs on three hits, including two long balls, three walks and 12 strikeouts. Wednesday's start marks the third time in his last four starts, that the 22-year-old hurler has reached double digits in strikeouts. The Bulls plated three runs on four hits and two Bats' errors in the fifth inning to tie the game. Ray Olmedo scored the first run on a throwing error from Bats pitcher Travis Wood on a would-be force out from Joe Dillon. Back-toback singles from Matt

Joyce and Sean Rodriguez drove in the next two Bulls runs. Durham was able to put some space between itself and Louisville with a fiverun sixth inning. Olmedo started the hit parade with a triple to right-center field. Two batters later, Rashad Eldridge drove Olmedo home with a single and advanced to second on a throwing error. A groundrule double from Dillon scored Eldridge. That was followed by another double from Matt Joyce which plated Dillon. After stealing second, Joyce was driven home by Rodriguez. The scoring ended with

a Justin Ruggiano single scoring Rodriguez as the Bulls took an 8-3 lead. The Bats were only able to plate one run in response as they fell to the Bulls. Joe Bateman picked up the first postseason win for Durham with one and one-third shutout innings. Federico Baez took the loss after allowing five earned runs on five hits in the sixth. Game 2 of the best-offive series is scheduled for Thursday as righty Mitch Talbot (4-4, 4.47) takes the mound for Durham against Lefty Ben Jukich (9-6, 4.10) with first pitch at 7:05 p.m.

Beason, Stewart back at practice with Panthers By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE — Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart had just participated in his first practice in nearly a month and his ninth in 49 workouts since the spring when fullback Brad Hoover playfully pounced. “I just told them we’re happy to have you back,” Hoover told Stewart while pointing at reporters, “and not eating cake on the sidelines.” Jokes were aplenty in the Panthers locker room Wednesday. Stewart, their No. 2 back, had returned from a left Achilles’ tendon injury on the same day middle linebacker and defensive leader Jon Beason practiced for the first time since spraining the medial collateral ligament in his left knee Aug. 22. “It was an opportunity to prove everybody wrong, even the docs,” Beason said. “I felt good about it.” Suddenly a dreary, winless preseason had given way to optimism four days before Carolina opens

against Philadelphia. Minus safety Chris Harris, who was limited with a leg injury, the Panthers had all their key players practicing together for the first time in a month. “They both looked really good,” coach John Fox said of Beason and Stewart. “They were good to finally have back. That was the plan, and I thought they had a good day’s work.” Beason, who was injured in the second exhibition game against Miami, said he spent countless hours rehabbing. It included about 10 hours a day hooked up to a newage stim machine, which helped increase blood flow to the knee and strengthen muscles around it. “It finds what muscle along the lines of the injury is not firing,” Beason said. “Then it forces all the other muscles to work harder so that that muscle has less strain on it.” With Donovan McNabb and a healthy Brian Westbrook coming to Bank of America Stadium on Sunday, the Panthers need

Beason. He led Carolina in tackles in each of the past two seasons and was voted to his first Pro Bowl last year. Without Beason and fellow starting linebackers Thomas Davis and Na’il Diggs, who also missed time with injuries, the Panthers struggled to tackle and stop the run in the preseason. “When you don’t have your leader on the defense, which is your mike linebacker, then you have Diggsy banged up and Thomas Davis banged up, that’s the second level of your defense,” defensive tackle Damione Lewis said. “Those guys are your do-alls, they cover you up when you mess up in the run gaps and they also help the secondary with underneath stuff. That’s the meat and potatoes on your defense, the linebacking corps.” Lewis said he expected Nick Hayden would start at the other tackle position vacated when Maake Kemoeatu was lost to a season-ending

torn Achilles’ tendon. The other options are Louis Leonard, acquired from Cleveland last week, and Ra’Shon Harris, claimed off waivers Sunday from Pittsburgh. The offense has fewer concerns with the return of Stewart, who combined with DeAngelo Williams to rush for 2,351 yards last season, the most by teammates in the NFL since 1984. Stewart said the pain in his Achilles’ tendon was an offshoot from toe surgery he had before last season. He sat out all offseason workouts, then practiced eight times in training camp before being limited to a stationary bike since mid-August. Teammates said he looked good in practice Wednesday. “You’ve got to get the timing down. That’s the main thing,” Stewart said. “Today went well with that. I felt like I wasn’t really out of the loop on a lot of things. “I felt fine, running and everything.”

He’ll play the game with a small cast on his right hand, but it shouldn’t be a problem when he’s running the ball. Johnson does have a problem with his team’s carelessness against Jacksonville State. The Yellow Jackets were able to get away with fumbling five times (they lost three of them) against an overmatched FCS opponent, but that sort of sloppiness would almost surely come back to haunt them against a better team. “It’s not hard to tuck the ball and squeeze it,” Johnson said, dismissing the theory that such a run-oriented team is

going to have its share of fumbles. “Not matter what offense you play, someone is occasionally going to knock it out of there by putting a helmet on the ball. That was not the case with ours. They were careless.” Swinney was pleased with Parker’s debut, even though he completed just 9 of 20 passes. The youngster tossed a couple of touchdowns and didn’t have any major mistakes. “For the most part, I made good decisions,” Parker said. “I know there are some better throws I can make or where I’m going to go with the ball if I’m going to be successful.”

MATCHUP, from page 1B ney recalled. “It should have been a tackle for no gain. We’ve all seen the film many times. He just does what he does. He peeked the corner, made another guy miss and ran away from everybody.” Dwyer left plenty of defenders in the dust last season, leading the ACC in rushing with 1,395 yards. Spiller led the ACC in all-purpose yards (1,770), which included 629 yards on the ground while sharing playing time with James Davis. This year, Spiller has the job all to himself. He should be fresh against the Yellow Jackets, carrying the ball only four times in a 37-14 victory over Middle Tennessee last Saturday. Georgia Tech also was able to rest most of its starters in the second half of a 37-17 victory over Jacksonville State. Dwyer had seven carries before heading to the bench, so the five-day turnaround shouldn’t be much of a problem for either team. Dwyer said he won’t be paying much attention to his counterpart in the Clemson backfield. “I’ve never really done that before, so I won’t start doing it now,” the Georgia Tech runner said. “But it’s a big game. Who

wouldn’t want to have some big numbers?” Even with all the attention on the backs, this game might come down to the play of the quarterbacks. Josh Nesbitt is the experienced leader of Georgia Tech’s option offense, a run-run-and-runsome-more attack that is used by only a handful of schools at the major college level. Clemson counters with redshirt freshman Kyle Parker, who’ll be playing his second college game. Nesbitt ran for 93 yards and threw for 141 last week, just the sort of performance coach Paul Johnson looks for out of his junior. Get the ball to the right back, run it himself when the opening is there, and throw just enough to keep defenses off balance. “I thought Josh threw the ball the wall,” said Johnson, pointing out the numbers could have been even better if not for three dropped passes. “He’s kind of got a knack for moving around and finding guys on third down.” Georgia Tech’s offense will be bolstered by the return of A-back Roddy Jones, who sat out the opener to give himself a little more time to recover from a dislocated wrist.

Pujols homers twice in Cards win; Gonzalez leads Padres past Giants Cardinals 5, Brewers 1 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Albert Pujols hit two home runs for a majors-leading 47 and Adam Wainwright picked up his 18th win with seven scoreless innings in St. Louis’ 5-1 victory over Milwaukee on Wednesday. Wainwright (18-7) struck out six and scattered five hits to become the first pitcher to 18 wins. Pujols homered in the fifth and seventh innings as

the Cardinals completed a three-game sweep. St. Louis got a scare when Matt Holliday tumbled running out a grounder in the third and left with a bruised left knee.

Padres 4, Giants 2 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Adrian Gonzalez hit his career-high 37th homer and drove in three runs for San Diego. Wade LeBlanc (2-1) pitched a career-best seven

Phillies 6, Nationals 5 WASHINGTON (AP) — Jayson Werth and Pedro Feliz hit back-to-back homers in the eighth inning to lead Philadelphia. Ryan Madson pitched the ninth in place of strug-

Marlins 6, Mets 3 NEW YORK (AP) — Ricky Nolasco shut down the Mets into the seventh inning and Cody Ross hit an early three-run homer.

Dan Uggla homered and Nick Johnson had a long RBI double as Florida took its second straight from New York. Nolasco (11-8) gave up a leadoff hit to Angel Pagan then didn’t give up another hit until Pagan doubled with two outs in the sixth. He faltered in the seventh, walking David Wright to start the inning. Carlos Beltran singled, then David Murphy hit an RBI double. Nolasco was removed after

Jeff Francoeur’s sacrifice fly. Another run scored on a groundout.

Cubs 8, Pirates 5 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Carlos Zambrano won for the first time since July 22 by limiting Pittsburgh to two runs over six innings, and Chicago finished off a three-game sweep. The Cubs won their sixth straight against the Pirates, who completed a 1-5 homestand.

Tejada downs Braves with walk-off single HOUSTON (AP) — Miguel Tejada’s two-run single with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning gave the Houston Astros a 2-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night. Kaz Matsui led off the ninth with a single and Lance Berkman doubled to left. Carlos Lee was intentionally walked and Tejada’s single up the middle handed Rafael Soriano (1-5) his fourth blown save. Jose Valverde (4-2) struck out two in a perfect ninth for the win. Rookie Tommy Hanson threw eight shutout innings for the Braves, who had snapped a five-game

losing streak on Tuesday. Hanson allowed five singles and didn’t walk a batter, striking out seven in his longest major league outing. Houston’s Wandy Rodriguez went seven innings, allowing one run and three hits, striking out six. Rodriguez, who retired 10 of 11 hitters from the second through the fifth innings, has limited opponents to one run or less in 11 of his last 13 starts. The Braves went ahead in the second inning when Yunel Escobar led off with a walk and went to second on Brian McCann’s infield groundout. Diaz drove in Escobar with a single to right.

Yankees 4, Rays 2 NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter tied Lou Gehrig atop the Yankees hit list and New York rallied for a 4-2 victory over Tampa Bay on Wednesday night thanks to a three-run homer by pinchhitter Jorge Posada in the eighth inning. Jeter got three hits to match Gehrig with 2,721 in a Yankees uniform, a mark the Hall of Famer had held by himself for more than 70 years. Jeter had a chance to break the record, but he walked against reliever Grant Balfour after New York’s comeback in the eighth. Shut down by rookie Jeff Niemann most of the night, the Yankees completed a four-game sweep and sent the AL champion Rays to their eighth consecutive loss. It’s their longest skid since dropping eight straight in July 2007. Posada connected off Balfour with one out to give New York a 4-2 lead. Jonathan Albaladejo (5-1) pitched two scoreless innings for the win.

Rangers 10, Indians 0 CLEVELAND (AP) — Scott Feldman pitched seven innings, Esteban German went 5 for 5 and Marlon Byrd hit a three-run homer as Texas completed a three-game sweep within 24 hours. Feldman (16-4) allowed five hits and struck out five to win his eighth consecutive road start, a club record. His 12 road victories are a new team mark and tops in the AL. He was staked to a 5-0 lead before throwing a pitch after Byrd and Ivan Rodriguez hit home runs in the first inning off Fausto Carmona (3-10), who allowed five runs in 2-3 of an inning, the shortest start of his career. Texas added five runs in the ninth. Royals 5, Tigers 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Robinson Tejeda tossed six shutout innings to outpitch Justin Verlander, Billy Butler hit three doubles and the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 5-1 on Wednesday night for their first three-game winning streak since July.

There’s no better example than Ryan.” Tate said he felt the playoff run, as well as playing showcase ball, helped Ryan’s game get exposure for college scouts and coaches. The playoff wins also give him more confidence playing at the next level, he added. Allen played second base and pitched for the Warriors last year as a junior. “He definitely will get more time this year on the mound,” Tate said. Ryan credits Tate for

helping him through the recruiting process. “He’s taught me to be a gentleman, saying ‘yes sir’ and ‘no sir’ (to recruiters).” Ryan said his one goal as a senior at Webb will be to win the conference championship. Raymond said Ryan will compete for starting time in the middle infield as a freshman at GardnerWebb. He may also play in center field or pitch in relief. Ryan said he has no preference what position he plays.

“As long as I get to play,” he said. Ryan said he’d like to play pro ball, but has aspirations of being an athletic trainer. Ryan has played baseball since he was five or six. He and his father throw about three times a week, hit and field a couple times a week and lift weights. The regimen lasts all year. Ryan is currently playing with the Dirtbags, a Greensboro-area baseball program that currently has 12 players committed to ACC schools, according to

that pump fans up that got nothing to do with playing and winning and losing,” Tomlin said. “This is going to be two topquality teams. They’re going to play because it’s opening night ... both teams need to get off to a great start. Those are going to be the things that motivate these teams.” Still, that didn’t prevent offensive tackle Willie Colon from saying, “We’ll talk about it (with the Titans) Thursday night.” Obviously, he’s not expecting a Towel Tromp II. Given the NFL’s yearly player turnover rate, this is about as close as two teams can come to a rematch from one season to the next. The Titans

are missing only two starters, though the loss of All-Pro defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth could significantly weaken what was the NFL’s No. 7 defense. “It’s important for us to get off to a good start,” said defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch, whose production was hurt by a groin injury. “There’s no better way than to play against the team that had the best finish last season.” The Steelers return 19 of 22 starters, exceptional for a Super Bowl-winning team. Tomlin, however, has repeatedly taken steps to distance this team from last season’s. “Just because we won

the Super Bowl last year don’t mean nothing,” defensive tackle Casey Hampton said. “To be at the top then doesn’t mean anything because it’s a whole new season.” The Steelers lost backup wide receiver Nate Washington to Tennessee, where he is expected to take on a bigger role once he heals from a hamstring injury that might keep him out of the opener. The Steelers will be without linebacker Lawrence Timmons (high ankle sprain). The Titans have won four of their last five against the Steelers, but the loss also came in a season opener, 34-7 in 2005 as Willie Parker ran for 161 yards in his NFL

starting debut. This time, Parker is unsigned past this season and is coming off an injury-interrupted year that helped limit him to 791 yards. Parker may yield some carries to last year’s firstround draft pick, Rashard Mendenhall, though perhaps not to the extent the Titans use both Chris Johnson (1,228 yards) and White (773). Both teams had kick return issues during the preseason, though the Steelers have settled on CFL import Stefan Logan as their punt returner. Fisher won’t announce his returner until game time, but it is likely to be cornerback Cortland Finnegan.

Red Sox 7, Orioles 5 BOSTON (AP) — Pinchhitter Victor Martinez hit a three-run double to break a seventh-inning tie, and Boston improved to 13-2 against Baltimore this season. Billy Wagner (1-0)

ALLEN, from page 1B school coaching career because I know how hard he’s worked,” he said. “The biggest thing is his heart and tremendous work ethic.” Tate said Ryan is a competitive player that never shows his temper. “He’s got all the things you can’t measure.” In the past five years under Tate, four Warriors have signed with schools, but Allen would be the first under Tate to sign with a Division I college. In fact, Allen is the first Webb baseball player to

commit to a D-I school since Sam Hobgood inked with N.C. State in 1990. Hobgood is now an assistant coach at Webb. Former Warrior Wesley Currin signed with UNC Wilmington in the early 1980s. “You’re talking three, maybe four (D-I signees) in the history of the school,” Tate said. Ryan’s scholarship will be part athletic and part academic. “It just shows if you do the right things... good things are going to happen.

Raymond. Dustin Ackley, the 2009 No. 2 overall MLB draft pick out of UNC, played with the Dirtbags. “He’s worked hard at it. He’s put in the time and effort I thought it would take,” said Raymond. To anyone that may doubt Ryan’s ability because of his size, he had one response: “Just keep on watching and see that I can do just as much as big guys can.”

KICKOFF, from page 1B in Pittsburgh, where the towel is as much a source of civic pride as it is a symbol of the six-time Super Bowl-winning team it represents. In Pittsburgh, one doesn’t dare tread on the Terrible Towel, but White said he would gladly do it again if he gets the chance. “If it happens to be there, I’m going to stomp all over that, man,” White said. “If there’s a towel in the stands, I will stomp on it. I don’t care who gets mad. ... If they throw a towel at me, I’m going to kick it and stomp all over it. If they don’t want their towel stomped on, keep it out of my face.” White’s words weren’t

especially well-received in his own locker room — why agitate the champions, after all? Coach Jeff Fisher quickly moved to end such talk. “It was something that took place in an emotional moment,” Fisher said. “The players now understand ... the tradition behind the towel and the organization. They’re certainly not going to carry their own towels out there and stomp on them before kickoff.” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said he’s got more important matters to worry about, such as making sure his players don’t turn over the ball four times again. “There’s a lot of things

Oudin’s magical US Open ends with loss in quarters By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

NEW YORK — Melanie Oudin’s magical U.S. Open is over. Even the comeback kid couldn’t overturn this deficit. Showing signs of shakiness in her first Grand Slam quarterfinal, the 17-year-old Oudin got off to a slow start against No. 9-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark and never really recovered, losing 6-2, 6-2 Wednesday night. “This has been a great experience for me. I had a great run here,” the 70th-ranked Oudin told the crowd of 23,881 during an on-court interview right after the match, an honor usually reserved for the winner. “I hope to come back next year and do even better.” It’ll be hard to top her 2009 U.S. Open. She upset four more established players — including three-time major champion Maria Sharapova and Beijing Olympic gold medalist Elena Dementieva — to become the youngest quarterfinalist at Flushing Meadows since Serena Williams in 1999. Making the story even better: Oudin’s last three victories each came after dropping the first set. But

Wednesday’s start was quite inauspicious: She lost 14 of the first 18 points under the bright lights in the big city. With “BELIEVE” stamped in all capital letters on the heels of her pink-and-yellow sneakers — and, up in the player guest box, her twin sister and coach wearing black T-shirts bearing that word, too — the 5-foot-6 Oudin certainly never gave up. Her groundstrokes let her down, though. Oudin made 43 unforced errors, 23 more than Wozniacki. A relative veteran by comparison, the 19-year-old Wozniacki

Roethlisberger attorney rejects settlement offer By SANDRA CHEREB Associated Press Writer

CARSON CITY, Nev. — The attorney for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on Wednesday rejected a settlement offer by a Nevada woman who claims the Super Bowl champion sexually assaulted her at a Lake Tahoe hotelcasino. The rejection was in response to a letter, filed last week as part of a motion from Cal Dunlap, the woman’s Reno attorney, that said she would be willing to settle the civil matter against Roethlisberger if he admits to raping her, apologizes and gives $100,000 to the Committee to Aid Abused Women, a nonprofit agency in Reno that helps victims of domestic violence. In a written statement, Roethlisberger attorney David Cornwell called the woman’s offer “bizarre” and an “insult to women who have legitimately suffered from sexual misconduct.” Last month, they demanded she drop the lawsuit and write a letter of apology to the NFL star. In return, Roethlisberger would release both the woman and Dunlap from any legal liability stemming from the “conspiracy to extort and defame” him. Those demands have been rejected by the woman, Dunlap said in his letter. It added that her settlement offer was made to negate claims by the quarterback’s attorneys that she filed her suit to get money from him. Dunlap said the woman is a sexual assault victim who “was violated in every sense of the term.” Dunlap refused further comment when contacted Wednesday. Cornwell countered that the woman was given the option for a “graceful exit.” “We will continue to press our defenses and claims and pursue our application for sanctions,” he said.

In other developments, the case in Washoe District Court has been reassigned to another judge, the third since the case was filed. District Judge Brent Adams will consider pending motions on whether the case should be moved to Douglas County. Depending on that ruling, he also would decide various other motions, including whether the case should proceed or be dismissed, attorneys said. No hearings have been scheduled. The woman, a VIP casino hostess, filed the civil suit against Roethlisberger in July, claiming the Super Bowl-winning quarterback raped her in 2008 in a hotel penthouse across the street from a golf course where he was playing in a celebrity tournament. The AP, as a matter of policy, does not identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted. In other documents filed late Tuesday, Dunlap said the woman was stationed as a concierge on the 17th floor on July 11, 2008, when Roethlisberger returned to his room with a young woman. About 20 minutes later, he walked that woman to the elevator, then stopped by the concierge desk and chatted with staff, including his accuser. A few minutes later, the documents said, Roethlisberger reportedly called the woman and asked her if she could fix his television. The woman said the television was working properly and that Roethlisberger then blocked her from leaving and assaulted her. In the same filing, Dunlap also said the woman told her roommate and others of the encounter soon after the alleged attack and in the months that followed. She did not report the incident to police, something advocates for rape victims say is not unusual. Roethlisberger has denied the allegations.

leads the women’s tour in match victories this season. “I’m sorry that I won against Melanie today,” Wozniacki told the partisan fans, some of whom cheered when she doublefaulted. “I know that many of you wanted Melanie to win.” Now the Dane will play her first Grand Slam semifinal against another 19-year-old, Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium. The 50th-ranked Wickmayer — never before past the second round at a major tournament — beat Kateryna Bondarenko of Ukraine 7-5, 6-4.

The other women’s semifinal Friday features two far more familiar names: defending champion Serena Williams against 2005 champion Kim Clijsters. Never intimidated by the hostile crowd, Wozniacki was backed by her own cheering section of about 15 strong. Their applause and yells of encouragement were quite audible in a mostly empty Arthur Ashe Stadium as Oudin’s error count mounted in the early going. It took less than 10 minutes for Wozniacki to seize a 3-0 lead, cleverly constructing points. After many of her mistakes, Oudin would walk to the edge of the court, her back to the net, and fiddle with her strings. When she did find success with her deep groundstrokes, many of which landed right near the baseline, Oudin would turn toward Mom with a raised fist and a yell of “Come on!” This was, don’t forget, Wozniacki’s first major quarterfinal, too, yet she only really showed some nerves after already leading 5-1. She missed a backhand, then a forehand, and later double-faulted to get broken for the only time. Still, Wozniacki righted herself right away, breaking back to take the

set when Oudin missed a backhand. To no one’s surprise, Oudin made bids to make things interesting in the second set. At 1-1, Oudin held two break points — and pushed a forehand return of a 71 mph second serve wide, then sailed a forehand long. Then, at 2-all, Oudin again earned two break points — and sent a backhand wide on the first, then a forehand long on the second. And that, essentially, was that. Wozniacki won that game and each of the next four. In men’s action Wednesday, No. 4-seeded Novak Djokovic reached the U.S. Open semifinals for the third consecutive year, beating No. 10 Fernando Verdasco of Spain 7-6 (2), 1-6, 7-5, 6-2. Djokovic, the 2008 Australian Open champion, lost to Roger Federer in the 2007 final and the 2008 semifinals at Flushing Meadows. He could meet Federer again this year: After the Oudin-Wozniacki match, Federer faced No. 12 Robin Soderling in the quarterfinals, with the winner facing Djokovic. While so much of the focus around these parts has been on Oudin,

Wickmayer’s story is quite intriguing and inspiring. When she was 9, her mother died of cancer, and little Yanina set out to find a fresh start, researching tennis academies on the Internet before settling on one in Florida. Talk about precocious, ambitious and adventurous: Yanina had only recently started playing tennis. Neither she nor her father spoke English. But this is what had to be done. Her father closed his pool construction company in Belgium, and relatives supported the pair financially while they lived in Florida for 2 1/2 years. “He just gave everything up for me,” Yanina said. “He just left. He listened to a girl that was 9 years old and left his life, left his dreams. I’m always going to respect him for that.” Marc Wickmayer was in the Arthur Ashe Stadium stands Wednesday, watching his daughter play the biggest match of her career — and win it. “I have no words for what he’s done,” Yanina said. “There is no way of thanking him in any way for what he did, but I hope with my semis here this week, I can show him that I really thank him for everything.”

Today’s answer

HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21-April 19). Unlike others around you, you won’t be too quick to label your experiences as “good” or “bad.” What someone else considers a negative circumstance could prove to be a profoundly creative and insightful experience for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In order to find your niche, you’ll have to work at understanding a boss’s or client’s authority. Your job suddenly gets easier when you simply accept the hierarchy of the situation. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know how to change your feelings in a snap. All you have to do is hold on to what makes you feel good. Once you decide it’s not acceptable to feel anything less than cheerful, you’ll maintain your happy glow. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When your priorities are right, all falls into place. It would be a shame to let the little stuff get in the way of your accomplishing a major goal. As for potential time wasters, don’t walk — run away from them! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re likely to tune in to what’s going on inside you, instead of being outwardly focused. This temporary bout of introspection leads you to laugh when no one else is, or to have a different reaction to things than others do. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You might feel a bit like Alice down the rabbit hole, as the characters you meet only make sense in the context of their own crazy world. Try not to feel out of place, though. You’re an important player in the scene.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Wonderful happenings should not be onetime events. When a bit of good drops into your life, figure out what you did right and turn that action into a habit. You’ll find a simple way to integrate new behaviors into your daily routine. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Rest. Downtime is essential to feeling healthy and joyful. If you let yourself get tired, you might lose perspective and get overly hard on yourself and others. Take adequate time to sleep and lie around. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There is nothing harmful about asking an honest question. Still, think it over first. What do you really want and need to know? Some discussions are better not to endeavor. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Not only do you know what you want, but you are acting as though you already have it. Why not? It feels fantastic to be appreciative of your great fortune. Whether or not it has actually occurred yet is quite irrelevant. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If there’s not enough to do, you’ll work slowly, take detours and possibly still wait until the last second to meet a deadline. If you have too much to do, you’ll work quickly, take shortcuts and meet your deadlines just as well. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). How do you make big plans even bigger? By focusing in smaller. Tend to the details. The fine touches guarantee you will create an unforgettable experience for yourself and others.
