Vague-Us recently released their debut album “All In” (above) during a performance at Lindy’s Oxford Bar & Grill on Aug. 22. The members of the group (on right, from left) are Chris Renn, Chris Moore, Justin Barker, Chuck Galantis and Jeremy Jones.

Officer of Month had busy August By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer

Joseph Gwinn, the Henderson Police Department’s Officer Of The Month of August, wants to get his criminal justice degree, but he has already had quite an education. From 2000 to 2008, he was a prison guard for eight years at the Warren Correctional Institution. Gwinn reached the rank of sergeant. Gwinn He graduated from Basic Law Enforcement Training at Vance-Granville Community College. Since first putting on a Henderson Police uniform in December of 2008, Gwinn has been assigned to the Operations Division. In August, Gwinn compiled a lot of statistics during the 31-day period. He made 19 arrests which included a felony, a misdemeanor and serving 17 warrants. Also, Gwinn investigated 33 incidents and wrote 44 citations. He answered 152 calls for service and assisted on 31 other calls.

www.hendersondispatch.com Galantis described how he felt when the band finally wrapped up the recording: “It was a journey man. I’ll tell you this now — any album that you put together is never finished. It’s done but it’s not finished. A lot of the weight was put on my shoulders at one point to produce it.” He and producer Loepp butted heads for a long time before the band finally encouraged Galantis to just take the reins and finish the work. “We trust you; we’re gonna lay the chips on your table,” he quoted the other members. “After it was Dylan Shawn over it was a damn wilSon sense of relief,” he added. But it was SpeCial FeatureS definitely worth it. aSSiStant “Man, I bleed music,” Galantis said. “It (the album) gave me everything I wanted it to give me. When it got finished it was heaven on earth.” “At the end of it, being a hellacious task, those smiling faces, those records leaving the table (at the release party), those people asking us to sign them... (it was) proof in the puddin’ man,” he stated proudly. “Just seeing the people that can relate to those songs... or brighten up their day” made it all worth it. Interestingly, the very first recording for the album actually took place at guitarist Chris Renn’s trailer out of concerns about being interrupted by family (Renn is unmarried) and neighbors complaining about the volume. “Chuck, he’s pretty much the backbone of the band. He brings in just about all the tunes... either you’re born with it or you’re not,” Renn said, lauding over the drummers’ penchant for coming up with potent riffs and lyrics. “He’s blessed with songwriting (ability); he’s got a vision. It’s like that Cadillac you want to ride in, you know. You just jump on his back and go.” Yet, Renn stresses the fact that Galantis makes sure his band mates are not left out of the process. “He can foresee stuff and once he shows it, puts it out on paper and brings in a tune, everybody jumps in and puts their two cents worth on it and make it ours,” Renn explained. “It’s five pieces to the puzzle and everybody fits in and does their own thing — that’s what makes it click.” As far as how Vague-Us ultimately decides what gets used or tossed, Galantis suggested that Barker, the bassist and newest band member, tackle that question. “Being the new guy, in previous bands that’s usually a mess,” Barker answered. “It’s about the model of efficiency in Vague-Us.

Volume XCV, No. 215

“You’re gonna play in front of 300 screaming people and see how you handle it.” “No pressure; no pressure,” Barker added dryly. However, his tone became more serious as he continued: “The next day was pretty surreal because I felt like it never happened.” “Nothing beats a natural high,” Renn explained, alluding to the fact that he has partied hard for a long time. However, “No drugs, no alcohol... (can) touch that feeling... of brethren.” Nonetheless, the high can still sometimes be even better. On that night in Oxford in particular the band unveiled a new level of creativity. From the projector they used add a visual element to certain songs and having a trivia contest with prizes during the short intermission halfway through the set to Galantis stepping away from the drum kit and strapping on an acoustic guitar for some ballads, the fact that this show marked the release of their first album was not lost on the band. It had to be special. “We don’t want to be that band that when you go you know what you’re gonna see,” Renn declared. “We always want to throw that left hook.” The biggest punch on this night was the inclusion of an instrument for one song (‘If ever you should want me’, which is, unfortunately, not on the album) that is rarely, if ever, used in rock music. Enter an elementary school teacher from Wake County, violinist Melissa Taylor. “I wanted to show the crowd, you know, that we have a soft side,” explained the drummer. “We had a side of Vague-Us that was... a little bit more apt to spread the good love versus, you know, just power on through with a lot of heavy chords.” “I wrote that song in 1995,” he continued. “I really didn’t have what I needed for the song; it never met what I wanted to bring out” of it. Taylor’s work with her fingers and a bow supplied the missing element to a tune that Galantis had only played live twice before that night back in August. “People that heard it during sound check were ready to go hug their kids, ready to go tell their wife they loved them or ready to go pay vigil to a passed family member,” he said. He wrote the song passing by Sunset Graveyard. His father actually planted the seed for the song, having once spoken these words to him: “If ever you should want me, I’m right over your shoulder.” Galantis broke down the meaning of the song: it’s the belief that “no one’s ever dead, no one’s ever gone, no one’s ever miles away — they’re just right over your shoulder; in spirit, mind. They may not be there physically but they’re there.” The band is now debating whether or not to go back into the studio and record the song as a CD single. “Melissa is the angel amongst many devils,” Galantis said as a compliment to Taylor’s skill and character. Recalling the session they had in order to arrange the song, he admitted that “I lost my footing on my guitar. I couldn’t even play and I told her during sound check — I said ‘Whatever you do, don’t look at me. Because if you look at me and I start listening to what you’re playing, I’m done!’ ” And he foresees even more collaborations down the road. “I want to try a harp; I want to try a cello; I want to try horns...,” he stated. “I want to try it all because like I said, it’s almost like ‘you don’t tap the well unless you drop the bucket.’ You never know what you might stumble upon.” Moreover, the individual members are extremely focused on the band’s future. Except for their individual families, the Vague-Us ‘family’ is their top priority. “I’m like the jack of all trades, master of none,” Barker admitted. Yet now, “Since I got in the band, (I) just fine tuned it all the way, just Vague-Us — just concentrate on this.” “I don’t have any kids, I’m not married,” added Renn. “But Vague-Us, that’s my baby,” Galantis has never second-guessed himself. And even when he starts secondguessing the other band members, the rest of the band restores his confidence when they say things like: “I’m with you all the way. DLet’s ailyrun Dthis ispatch thing/AL intoCREWS the grave.”

Granville manager: Think high-speed rail Alligood says Interstate 85 won’t meet all investors’ transportation needs By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

OXFORD — Granville County Manager Brian Alligood urged the need to think globally in competing for business and industry, particularly when nations such as France and Great Britain have invested enormously in passenger rail service while the U.S. and the region remains car oriented. Alligood was commenting

Friday morning at the Chamber of Commerce’s Government Forum Committee meeting, at which County Economic Development Director Jay Tilley was the speaker. “And for us, we go, ‘Wow, that’s great. We’ve got an interstate. That’s wonderful’,” Alligood said. “And they (potential investors) may look at it and go, ‘You don’t have mass transit where I can get on and go from here to there.’”

And Alligood emphasized that while the county is in a great location being up from the Research Triangle area, even the Tar Heel State’s most densely populated area — Charlotte — has only had light-rail service since November 2007. Tilley was quick to agree about the situation. “And we have GM and Ford and those guys to thank for it,” Tilley said. “And so that’s another

generational turning-on-a-dime transition.” “And one reason Charlotte is beating our butts in a lot of areas is they have more flights,” Tilley added. “And Atlanta is the same way.” Tilley was quick to note one can buy a ticket for a non-stop flight from Raleigh-Durham International Airport to London Please see RAIL, page 3A

Evans to miss forum because of prior commitment By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

Ward 1 City Councilman Mary Emma Evans told the Dispatch Obituaries, 4A she will be unable to participate in the Sept. 20 forum for candidates for mayor and the council. Evans, who is pastor of Room at the Cross Pentecostal Holiness Church, cited a prior commitment to go to Antioch United Church of

Christ, which is just on the Vance County side of the North Carolina-Virginia border. Evans said the pastor of Antioch is reaching his first anniversary there. “It’s not personal, but I don’t turn down Sunday engagements for a political forum,” Evans said. Evans, when asked whether she would have participated in the forum had the forum been at another date, replied, “Yeah, I

probably would have.” “I’ve been around for a long time,” Evans said. “I’m not a nervous person when it comes to debating.” Evans, whose service on the council dates back to 2003, is being challenged by Cathy Ringley, who serves on the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The Dispatch is joining the Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce, radio station WIZS

and the Home in Henderson Web site in hosting the forum, which will be from 3 p.m.-5:15 p.m. in the Vance County Commission meeting room at 122 Young St. In addition to the city chief executive’s position, five of the eight council positions are being contested in the Oct. 6 election.

Heathrow, which is the world’s busiest airport in terms of international passenger traffic. American Airlines began the service from RDU to Heathrow in March 2008. “Every time you get a direct flight, even to those foreign countries like California, it helps,” Tilley quipped. At the same time, Tilley noted, “We like the freedom of having the ability to come and go.” Alligood said, “Every interstate ought to have a high-speed rail running right down the middle of it.

The felony charge developed after Gwinn responded to a call involving a suspicious person who was possibly in possession of drugs. Arriving on the scene, Gwinn caught the suspect after a short foot chase. The amount of marijuana found on the person constituted a felony. His supervisors credited him with conducting numerous foot patrols in Districts Two and Three, where he is assigned. They described

that,” she said. President Obama on April 16 called for the U.S. to move quickly to a high-speed rail system to ease vehicle bottlenecks and snarls, to help clean up the environment and to conserve fuel. Obama allocated $8 billion of the more than $780 billion federal economic stimulus spending package for a start on setting up high-speed rail corridors throughout the nation. And Henderson and Vance County leaders have made clear they want Henderson

to be one of the stops on the proposed high-speed rail route from Washington to Richmond, Va., Raleigh, Charlotte and Atlanta. Henderson City Manager Ray Griffin has told the Dispatch that some initial thoughts about a possible station for Henderson were about tying into the city-countyowned former First National Bank building along Garnett Street in the city’s once-proud central business district.

The 12-member committee includes members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate and is charged with overseeing and improving the state’s economic development policy. “It’s a great honor to be selected for such a vital position during a time when economic development carries such deep importance,” Wray said. “We need to stay competitive in North Carolina and

help draw as many jobs as we can to this state, and I’m certainly going to do my part to make that happen.” Wray is a small business owner in his third term representing Northampton, Vance and Warren counties. He is chairman of the Insurance Committee and vice chairman of the Wildlife Resources Committee and the Appropriations Subcommittee on Natural and Economic Resources. He is also a member of the Agriculture, Appropriations, Transportation, and Commerce, Small Business and Entrepreneurship committees.

MPMC, home health earn ‘Gold Seal’ approval Maria Parham Medical Center and Maria Parham Regional Home Health each have been awarded a Gold Seal of Approval from The Joint Commission, the hospital announced. Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission is dedicated to continuously improving the safety and quality of the nation’s health care through voluntary accreditation. The Joint Commission’s on-site surveys of MPMC occurred in May. The hospital earned the distinction for compliance with national standards for health care quality and safety. “Above all, the national standards are intended to stimulate continuous, systematic and organizationwide improvement in an organization’s performance and the outcomes of care,” said Darlene Christiansen,

executive director, Hospital Accreditation Program, Joint Commission. “The community should be proud that Maria Parham Medical Center is focusing on the most challenging goal — to continuously raise quality and safety to higher levels.” Bob Singletary, President and CEO of Maria Parham said, “Accreditation from a third party such as The Joint Commission helps to build a higher level of trust between hospitals and the people that they serve.” Singletary called the accreditation “proof of an organization-wide commitment to provide quality care on an ongoing basis.” Maria Parham Regional Home Health complied with The Joint Commission’s national standards for home care organizations to earn its Gold Seal. “In becoming accredited,

Report: British special forces training Libyan troops By RAPHAEL G. SATTER Associated Press Writer

LONDON (AP) — Some of Britain’s most elite soldiers have been training Libyan forces in counterterrorism and surveillance for the past six months, a U.K. newspaper said Saturday. The Daily Telegraph said that a contingent of between four and 14 men from the Special Air Service, or SAS, were working with Col. Moammar Gadhafi’s soldiers in Libya, a country once notorious for its support of terrorism.

The paper cited an unidentified SAS source as saying that the training was seen as part of the deal to release Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, whose return to Libya last month outraged Americans and raised questions over the nature of Britain’s relationship with Gadhafi’s authoritarian regime. Prime Minister Gordon Brown and other British government officials have emphasized Libya’s remarkable transformation from rogue state to Western ally and the need to keep Gadhafi

on board since he renounced terrorism and dismantled his country’s clandestine nuclear program in 2003. But media reports have suggested that the prisoner exchange agreement that paved the way for al-Megrahi release was motivated in part by a desire to secure access to Libya’s vast energy reserves. British Justice Secretary Jack Straw seemed to endorse that claim when he told the Telegraph last week that trade played “a very big part” in the

negotiations over the prisoner deal. Britain’s thirst for Libya’s oil and gas resources was again thrust into the spotlight earlier this month when it was reported that Brown had refused to lobby Gadhafi for compensation for the Britons killed and injured by Libyan-supplied plastic explosives used by the Irish Republican Army in the 1980s and ‘90s. In a letter written last year to a survivor of one of the IRA bombings, then-junior Foreign Office minister Bill Rammell

explained that Libya was now “a vital partner ... in guaranteeing a secure energy future for the U.K.” Britain’s military refused to comment on the Telegraph’s report Saturday. The Foreign Office said Britain had “ongoing cooperation with Libya in the field of defense” but refused to comment on the issue of special forces. It denied in a statement that the defense cooperation had anything to do with al-Megrahi’s release.

Tunnel collapse kills 2 Gaza border smugglers S. Korea not opposed to U.S.-N. Korea talks GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Two tunnels used for smuggling goods from Egypt into Gaza collapsed on Saturday, killing two people and highlighting the risks Gazans take to defy an Israeli-led blockade of their territory. The two victims were 18 and 20 years old, said Dr. Moawiya Hassanain, a Palestinian health official. Gaza smugglers operate dozens of underground tunnels to haul in everything from motorcycles

and cement to cows and chocolates. Many goods are scarce since Israel and Egypt clamped a blockade on Gaza following the violent Hamas takeover of the territory in June 2007. The local human rights group Mezan says 107 tunnel workers have died in accidents since then, most of them young men. The Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which ends next weekend, is a busy time for smugglers

because of a heightened demand for consumer goods and foods. Israel and the West label Hamas a terrorist group, but the blockade has hit Gaza’s poor the hardest. In other developments, Egypt opened its border crossing with Gaza on Saturday to allow hundreds of Muslim pilgrims to travel to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Hamas officials said the crossing is to remain open for four days.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea would not oppose the United States holding direct talks with North Korea to persuade the communist regime to rejoin stalled international nuclear disarmament negotiations, the Foreign Ministry said Saturday. U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said Friday that Washington was preparing to accept Pyongyang’s offer for one-on-one talks as part of

efforts to resume the sixnation negotiations. Pyongyang pulled out of the talks with the U.S., South Korea, China, Russia and Japan in April, protesting international criticism of its launch of a rocket which the regime said was a satellite launch but which other nations suspected was a test of long-range missile technology. North Korea subsequently conducted a nuclear test that drew U.N. sanctions. Despite agreeing to direct

talks, Crowley insisted there has been no shift from previous U.S. statements that Washington would only meet with North Korea as part of the six-nation process. On Saturday, a spokesman at Seoul’s Foreign Ministry said South Korea would not oppose direct talks between Washington and Pyongyang as long as they help promote the North’s denuclearization and are held as part of the six-party process.

News Briefs Teen accused of threatening teacher to get ‘A++’

Mom leaves N.D. hospital with wrong newborn

PATERSON, N.J. (AP) — Authorities say a New Jersey teenager threatened to rape and kill his teacher if she did not give his entire class an “A++” for the last school year. Authorities say the 14-year-old boy made the threats in an e-mail sent in May. He has been identified only as a student at the Paterson Charter School for Science and Technology. He is also accused of threatening to rape the teacher’s mother and sister if the grades were not changed within 48 hours. The boy turned himself in to Passaic County authorities Friday and was charged with making terroristic threats and criminal coercion.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — A hospital in northwestern North Dakota is investigating how the mother of a newborn went home with the wrong baby. Officials with the Mercy Medical Center in Williston say the mistake was discovered within an hour and the mother was quickly reunited with her own child. Mercy Chief Financial Officer Kerry Monson would not release details about how the mix-up happened or what families were involved. She says officials are reviewing policies and procedures and will take appropriate action.

Baby born 9-9-09; sibling born 8-8-08 FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — At least it will be easy to remember their birthdays. An Arkansas couple welcomed a new baby girl into their lives Wednesday — giving her the birthdate of 9-9-09. Andy and Alison Miller’s newest daughter Molly Reid will come home to sister Campbell, who was born on August 8, 2008, or 8-8-08. The coincidences don’t stop there. Molly Reid has nine letters to her name, while Campbell has eight.

Suspect sleeps, hostages escape DOVER, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say the man

who held a couple hostage in their Kansas home fell asleep and they escaped unharmed. Topeka Police Capt. Jerry Stanley said Saturday that authorities then stormed the house, where they confronted the man. The suspect was shot, but his injuries were not life-threatening. Authorities say Jesse Dennis Dimmick led them on a car chase Saturday morning that ended in Dover where he fled from his car, went into the couple’s home and held them captive for hours. Authorities have been looking for Dimmick because he’s wanted in connection with a homicide in Aurora, Colo. On Friday, Geary County deputies chased Dimmick in another stolen vehicle. During that pursuit, Dimmick wrecked the vehicle and fled.

Healthy Moment

Treat Low Back Pain Back pain is something that plagues almost everyone at one time or another. Usually it comes from strains or overuse of the lower back, but sometimes there is a disc injury, arthritis, or other causes for the pain. There are several important things you can do to make the pain go away and stay away. The first thing to do when the pain begins is to rest the back. The proper position for this is lying with some bend at both the hips and knees. Pillows can be placed under the knees when lying on your back, and they are also helpful when placed between the knees when lying on your side. You should not lie on your stomach. Two or three days of bed rest may be necessary, but often just frequent rest periods intermixed with light activity is best. Medicines are very useful in decreasing the pain and relaxing the muscles. Sore muscles always tighten up, causing the pain to worsen. Aspirin or ibuprofen are very helpful; you may use up to 8-12 per day, taken with food. Acetaminophen helps pain, but it does not decrease inflammation. There are also many excellent prescription medicines that are taken only once or twice a day. It is important to use these medicines early to stop the pain and inflammation, rather than wait until the pain is incapacitating. Immediately after an injury to the back, ice packs to the area are useful in limiting the pain, swelling and muscle spasms. After two days, warm packs or baths can give excellent relief. Finally, physical therapy is very useful in teaching you exercises that will strengthen your back and help prevent low back pain.

Our Opinion

The Easleys’ latest embarrassment Just in case federal authorities who are investigating former Gov. Mike Easley don’t have enough leads to go on, The News & Observer of Raleigh is keeping the pedal to the metal in its superb investigative reporting on the ex-chief exec’s litany of alleged and potential offenses. On Friday, the N&O reported that Mike Easley and his wife Mary received a price break of $137,000 on a prime waterfront building lot in a coastal subdivision in Carteret County. The apparently unprecedented discount came shortly after state government granted environmental permits making the development possible. Easley didn’t report the discount from R.A. North Development on state ethics disclosure forms. And the attorney in the property transfer — who happens to be the mayor of Beaufort — listed not the discounted price of the lot, but the full price of $549,880, on the deed as registered with Carteret County. That likely helped the Easley’s get a loan on the property from BB&T for $494,000 even though the couple paid only $412,410 for the land and made a total of $54,988 in downpayment and earnest money on the lot. Thus, the Easleys walked away from closing with both the building lot and a cool $135,000 in cash. Such a transaction would not be unprecedented in property transfers. William S. Bost III, a Raleigh real estate attorey and expert on mortgage industry ethics, told the N&O that sometimes real estate clients want the full asking price of the property listed on the deed rather than the discounted price they paid, in order to pump up both the perceived value of the land on behalf of its new owner (who might someday want to sell it) and, for the benefit of developers, to avoid reducing the perceived value of neighboring lots. For example, while the Easleys were paying $412,410 for their lot, neighboring lots that were narrower but deeper sold for $699,000 each. It’s anything but certain that the Easleys committed a crime in this case. But it’s certain they got a sweetheart deal on a valuable piece of land — and a deal from a development company run in part by Easley donors and by men whom Easley appointed to the state Wildlife Resources Commission and state Board of Transportation. From the posh, trumped-up job at N.C. State University for Mary Easley (from which she’s since been fired), to free private flights, to suspicious deals on vehicles, and now a sweet bargain on beach property, the Easleys obviously knew how to maximize the value of their political connections for personal gain. It will be interesting to see whether there’s a price to pay for these actions. And whether the N&O will uncover any more evidence against the Easleys.

Quotable “It’s different than just seeing numbers on a paper, when you actually see the flags. It’s a visual impact of those lives.” — Nikki Marlette, on the nearly 3,000 small American flags on display on the Ohio Statehouse lawn, representing those killed on 9/11. “The theft of Warhol’s ‘Athlete Series’ represents a profoundly personal loss to me and my family.” — Los Angeles businessman Richard Weisman, on the unique series of Andy Warhol pieces — portraits of Muhammad Ali, Jack Nicklaus, Pele, Dorothy Hamill and other athletic superstars — that was stolen from his home.

This column was originally published Jan. 18, 2004. Whenever I write about art, I get mail from the Serious Art Community informing me that I am a clueless idiot. So let me begin by stipulating that I am a clueless idiot. This is probably why I was unable to appreciate a work of art I viewed recently, titled: “Chair.” I saw “Chair” at Art Basel, a big art show held recently on Miami Beach. It attracted thousands of Serious Art People, who wear mostly black outfits and can maintain serious expressions no matter what work of art they are viewing. This is hard, because a lot of Serious Art consists of bizarre or startlingly unattractive objects, or “performances,” wherein artists do something Conceptual, such as squirt Cheez Whiz into an orifice that has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for snack toppings. But no matter what the art is, a Serious Art Person will view it with the somber expression of a radiologist examining X-rays of a tumor. Whereas an amateur will eventually give himself away by laughing; or saying “Huh?”; or (this is the most embarrassing) asking an art-gal-

lery person: “Is this wastebasket a piece of art? Or can I put my gum wrapper in it?” But back to Art Basel: I didn’t go to the main show. I went to an officially sanctioned satellite show called “Art Positions,” which was a group of large, Dave walk-in shipping Barry containers Tribune Media set up on the Services beach, serving as mini art galleries. Serious Art People drifted blackly from container to container, solemnly examining the tumors. I managed not to say anything stupid until I encountered a slide projector sitting on the floor, projecting a rectangle of white light with twitching lens dust onto the wall. I asked the gallery person if there was supposed to be a slide in the projector; he patiently explained that, no, this was a work of art titled “Autofocus Slide Projector Dust.” In another container there was a work of art consisting of

The Health Care Debate in Cartoons

a video, repeated over and over, showing a man — not in peak physical condition, I might add — rollerblading around a vast empty space, stark naked. I’m proud to say I betrayed no emotion while viewing this work, although my daughter, who is 3, said, quite loudly: “You can see his tushy! Yuck!” She is young, and has no art training. Anyway, in the corner of one container there was a ratty old collapsed armchair — worn, dirty, leaking stuffing, possibly housing active vermin colonies. I asked the gallery person if the chair was art, and she said yes, it was a work titled “Chair.” I asked her what role the artist had played in creating “Chair.” She said: “He found it.” “Chair” is for sale. The price is $2,800. Really. I looked up “Chair” on a Serious Art Internet site, artcritical.com, which said: “The chair offers not a weedy patina of desuetude but an apotheosis of its former occupant.” See, I missed that altogether, about the desuetude and the apotheosis. I thought it was just a crappy old junk chair some guy took off a trash pile and was now trying to sell for 2,800 clams. I was also baffled by an

artwork called “Moonwalk,” presented by a Paris art gallery. You walked into the gallery/ container, and it was empty, just blank white walls. Around the ceiling were a half-dozen speakers making a high-pitched sonar sound, like this: “boop.” That was the art: “boop.” Sitting outside on a folding chair was a gallery person, smoking Marlboros. I wondered what it would be like to fly all the way from Paris to Miami, only to spend four days sitting outside an empty shipping container going “boop.” I would go insane. I would have an apotheosis of freaking desuetude. In another container, there was a work that consisted of a hole drilled in the floor, and some weeds stuck in it. I believe the price on that was $6,000. While I was examining it, I heard one Serious Art Person say to another (I swear): “Wouldn’t that be wonderful in the foyer?” I want to state, for the record, that there was also some very nice-looking art on display. And I want to repeat that I am a clueless idiot. So you Serious Art People don’t need to write letters reminding me. I agree that you know MUCH more about art than I do, OK? So YOU buy the chair.

Thanks to caregivers To the editor: On Sept. 3, my 10-year-old son had an asthma attack. As I was getting ready to take him to the hospital he suddenly became worse. He was unable to catch his breath. I knew that we would not be able to get to the hospital quick enough so my husband called 911. A few moments later John Thomas and Chris Wright from Cokesbury Volunteer Fire Department were at my house. Soon after the ambulance arrived to take my son to the hospital. They were very kind and helpful and wasted no time in getting my son to the hospital. I want to thank Jeb Bailey, the driver, Mike Castelloe and Donald Williams who were in the back taking care of my son. They kept my son calm and helped put him at ease. Donald Williams remembered my son from last November and talked to him, which helped. Once we arrived at Maria Parham Medical Center he was quickly seen. I would like to thank his nurse Vicki Marino and Dr. Pamela Schewich. My deepest thanks and gratitude to everyone who took care of my son. On Nov. 17, 2008, my son had his first severe asthma attack. He was rushed to the hospital. I apologize for not thanking these people sooner. On the ambulance, Donald Williams, Nicholas Williams and K. Preddy. From the Cokesbury Volunteer Fire Department, Chris Wright, chief, and Steve Wiggins, assistant fire chief. Once again, you have our deepest appreciation and gratitude for taking care of our son. Your compassion and care of our son is not only appreciated by us but our son as well. Thank you. Shane and Heather Jenkins, Henderson

‘Business is business’ Mac, a bondsman who befriended me more than four decades ago when I covered the police beat for a newspaper in Virginia, often said: “Business is business.” Those clipped words delivered in his whispery voice have stayed with me throughout the years because they are Al continuWheless ally reinforced by Daily Dispatch what I see Writer and hear, regardless of how often the characters change in my movie. Still, there are exceptions to just about any rule devised by human animals. One of those that stands out in my life are the mechanics who work on our cars. My wife and I have been going to them for more than 20 years, mainly because they tell us our iron steeds don’t need tune-ups when we think the opposite. Besides doing really good work, they have let us wait to pay them for however long we have needed to in tough times, without any talk of interest or weekly installments. I remember the kindness of one of my journalism professors during my college days when I had very little money and it often showed. Once, I mustered the courage to ask him to loan me $5 for some things I really needed to buy at The Slop Shop. He smiled as he pulled his wallet from his back pocket, extracted a bill and

laid it in the drawer of the desk in his office. The professor walked out, leaving me there, after saying: “As long as you put it back, it’ll be there for you to take out whenever you need it.” And it was. Far exceeding face value, he gave me the gift of certainty. Now one of my favorite memories, it was one of the few comforting things in my life back then. We both held up our parts of the deal that lasted until I graduated several years later. I sometimes see other examples of compassion in small doses, such as paper cups bearing “Need A Penny, Take A Penny” in what resembles secondgrade lettering. They sit near the cash registers on the counters of a few convenience stores scattered across some of the towns and cities I visit. Also, some restaurant chains and other types of stores give a small percentage of their receipts on a rotating basis to schools and various charities. An art supplies company headquartered in Raleigh has given thousands of dollars worth of merchandise to students in Vance County. Such benevolence involving more than the bottom line happens all over this country every day. And then there are the far-too-many versions of no mercy that are constantly delivered by the bitter spoonful throughout the American economy. The most recent one I had to swallow was at a savings-and-loan institution in Granville County. What I will never forget only took a few minutes to happen.

I walked in on a Friday morning, and, with just two customers in line ahead of me, soon reached a teller who smiled frequently as she cashed the check someone had given me, put most of it in my account, and sold me several cashier’s checks that were covered by the remainder. Except for the eight cents I appeared to be short. Digging into my jeans pockets, I felt at ease after I managed to find seven pennies. Handing them to her, I thought that would be the end of it, which prompted me to joke: “I hope you’re not going to play hardball.” I noticed her smile disappear as she just stared at me. “You need to give me another penny.” My response was: “Sorry, I don’t have one. I’d have to walk out to my car that’s on the other side of the parking lot.” Hers followed: “I do need another penny.” And then mine: “You really are going to play hard ball?” No more responses. Even then, while that was going on, it was difficult not to observe the warm, fond glances of her family members as they watched over her from their photo frames inside her stall. They looked and felt like a separate world. I grimaced of sorts, shook my head, said “I’ll be back,” and left. Yes, it was hot outside as I slowly passed motorists basking in air-conditioning while waiting in lines near the drive-through windows. Finally, I reached my parking space. Fumbling for the right key among many wrong ones, I mumbled choice pleasantries to myself

until I managed to open the driver’s door of my ’97 Corolla on the third try. Then I leaned inside, slid one cent out of a dashboard cranny, dropped it on the ground, saw it roll more than a foot under the car, picked it up while not being able to see it, and began the return journey. After again noticing the phone booths on wheels containing artificial Fall weather, I walked through the door, crossed the wide expanse of floor and approached the teller who had resumed smiling. “This is unreal,” I said flatly while not reciprocating. Although her cheeks filled with blood, all other facial expression went away. Then she replied: “We have to be able to reach a balance at the end of the day.” And I repeated: “This is unreal.” Doing an about-face, I traveled about five feet before I heard her cheerfully say: “Have a nice day.” Her warm smile hit me in the back. I wanted to — but didn’t — tell her: “Apparently, Jesus needs to conduct a lot of business in this place.” I found myself speechless until I got home and told my wife what had happened. My experience raised the question: “If this is what they do at this level, what would they be like in situations where the amount of money would be a lot higher?” I think I know. I think you do, too. “Business is business.” I hope you’re not always going to be right, Mac. Contact the writer at awheless@hendersondispatch.com.

Sizzle continues at third annual Hot Sauce festival By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

Daily Dispatch/William F. West

Tyrone Holmes on Saturday retained his title of the hottest sauce at the annual N.C. Hot Sauce Festival in Oxford. Here, Holmes is shown with his brand, titled, “Tsunami Wave.”

Isaac Royster on Saturday was playing on the theme of the Texas-based Stubb’s brand of barbecue sauce, as evidenced by Royster’s label showing him wearing a western hat. Royster, of Hampton, Va., added a regional touch with the image of the Atlantic Ocean in the background.

Winners of the Hot Sauce Contest •

The peoples’ choice for selling the most bottles: Bailey Farms (Bhut Jolokia). The most unique sauce: Race City Sauce Works (Victory Lane Jalapeno-Sour Apple). The judges’ pick: Cackalacky. And, in a repeat of 2008, the hottest sauce: Spice It Up! The judges were: Bob Garner, a longtime and regular contributor to public television station WUNC and a writer for Our State magazine; food writer Debbie Moose; Executive Chef Ross Ragonese, of Vance-Granville Community College’s culinary technology program; and Oxford Public Ledger Editor Al Carson. *** Daily Dispatch/William F. West

Another one of those with a booth at the N.C. Hot Sauce Festival was Warren County resident Geneva Watkins. Here, she pours a sampling of her brand: Momma G’s.

Winner of the first-ever chile pepper eating contest, sponsored by Bailey Farms: According to a company representative, there was a three-way tie between Tarun Makhija of Raleigh, Marisa Sertie, also of Raleigh, and Jeremy Ballard of Manson.

OXFORD — Anthony Dickens was quick to comment about his attending the N.C. Hot Sauce Festival for the first time. “My mouth is, ‘Wooh!’ It’s on fire right now,” said Dickens, of Oxford, who drank a soda pop and had a taste of beer after having a sampling of the “Tsunami Wave” at the “Spice It Up!” booth on Saturday afternoon. “He needs a loaf of bread now,” said Sandra Bailey, of Stovall and who was with Dickens at the third annual — and now state-recognized — event in the quaint heart of Granville County. And the “Spice It Up!” man, Tyrone Holmes of Oxford, who wore lime green attire at last year’s festival, was equally as visible on Saturday, this time in orange. “This is it, baby,” Holmes said of his product. “This is true heat.” At the same time, Holmes said “Tsunami Wave” has flavor. “It’s not the hottest hot sauce I’ve ever had, but it’s hot,” said Shelby Dodson, of Henderson, but who is from northern California. The commercial part of Oxford’s Main Street was teaming with booths with colorful names of barbecue sauces. A busy spot was the one where samplings of the “Ike’s” brand could be found. Ike is the nickname of Isaac Royster, of Hampton, Va., but who is from Oxford. Royster’s containers of barbecue feature him wearing a cowboy hat. “You have to pattern yourself after someone,” Royster said, a reference to his playing on the label of the Texasbased Stubb’s brand. Royster does give his label a Tidewater look, as evidenced by the images of the blue sky and the Atlantic Ocean in the background.

Across the street was Geneva Watkins, of the Vaughan community in Warren County. Her brand: Momma G’s. “I love it, I love it,” Watkins said of the chance to network with others. Chad Lowcock had an attention-getting booth in the style of the checkered flag. His brand: Race City Sauce Works. “We’ve had more sampling here than we’ve had a lot of other ones in different parts of the country,” said Lowcock, of Charlotte. “This is a hot sauce festival and they come for their hot sauce and they love every moment of it,” Lowcock said. Officials were pleased, with Mayor Al Woodlief telling the crowd, “We’ve come a long way and next year we’re going to go a lot further.” “For a long time we never really had any festivals,” other than a past one based on Lord Granville, for whom the county is named, City Commissioner Chance Wilkinson said. “And this has really taken off.” Creedmoor City Commissioner Tim Karan said this festival was better than last year’s because of the availability of more food, the quality of which he called “outstanding.” The event was originally the idea of Julia Overton, an Oxford Main Street activist who owns Stovall’s Gifts. Overton discovered that the Atlantic region’s biggest

supplier of chile peppers, Bailey Farms, is southeast of Oxford. Overton told the Dispatch that, “I think our community came together unbelievably. The crowd was awesome. The weather was beautiful.” Overton thanked her staff. Additionally, Overton credited state Rep. Jim Crawford, D- Granville, for Gov. Beverly Perdue in July signing the document declaring Saturday as N.C. Hot Sauce Day. The event was not exclusively about the spicy liquids. There was the September Sensations Bazaar, with various vendors on Court Street to the courtyard of the County Historical Museums. And comers could participate in the Heritage Festival by shopping for antiques behind the Remember When store off Hillsboro Street. Outside the N.C. Cooperative Extension Center, the Granville Gardeners Club was selling plants to help raise funds for a scholarship. City Commissioner Bob Shope was serving in differing roles on Saturday. Earlier in the day, Shope was stationed along a residential street when the Lions Club, of which he is a member, held the “Run with the Lions” to help raise funds for the visually impaired. During the afternoon, Shope was wearing a Granville Gardeners t-shirt. Contact the writer at bwest@ hendersondispatch.com.

Impressive haul for Walt on Kerr Lake If I had been in a tournament last Saturday on Kerr Lake, I would have surely won. It started early Saturday morning with me losing a big fish that struck a top water lure. In the next two hours, I landed a dozen bass, with the best five keepers weighing around 14 pounds. I Walt had to leave B owen to take care O n T he Water of some Weekly business for a few hours, then returned at around 2 p.m. to land a 3.5-pounder and another one that went over 5 pounds. The best thing was that I had several witnesses, including Jerry Patterson and his fishing partner Mr. Barker in the morning, and another gentleman (unfortunately I can’t remember for sure — I believe that his last name was Long, I must be getting old) in the afternoon. All told, I would have weighed in over 19 pounds in a five-fish limit. These fish were taken on crank baits. I also pulled up two old lost cast nets from the bottom with my grappling hook that had snagged my lure, and got six nice crank baits from them that others had lost. I took these home and cleaned them up and replaced the hooks. Sunday, I headed over to Gaston to continue prefishing for the BFL event, but didn’t catch much in the way of bass. I did get a 21-pound blue catfish on a buzz bait on the third cast of the day up in the river. This makes two weeks in a row that I have caught a catfish on a buzz bait, something that I had never done before. I am not sure what is up with that. My neighbor at Kerr Lake, Wayne White, had mentioned that he was hoping to store up enough fish for a fry and that he was a little short. I called from the water after landing the big cat and told Susan to tell him to heat up the grease as I thought he probably was going to have enough now. Monday being Labor Day, Susan and I had the day off, so we headed back over to Gaston early with Fred. I did catch some good bass in several areas, but the highlight of the trip was when two river otters came swimming by while we were fishing in the weeds up in the Roanoke River behind the Kerr Lake dam. They were chirping and playing as they swam along, and Fred was barking at them from the boat. They stayed about 40 yards out in front of us as we moved up the river. All of a sudden, they began to fight and make a ruckus, so we figured that one must have caught a fish and the other was trying to take it away. That

North Carolina quarterback T.J. Yates fumbles the ball as he is tackled by Connecticut's Lawrence Wilson (8) and Brandon Dillon (52) during the second half of Saturday’s game.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — North Carolina needed to make a big defensive stop, and wound up getting some help from Connecticut’s Dan Ryan. The Huskies’ senior tackle was flagged for holding defensive end Robert Quinn in the end zone with 1:32 left in the game

Saturday, giving the No. 19 Tar Heels a safety and a 12-10 comeback win over the Huskies. “I had him beat around the corner,” Quinn said. “I was just out there trying to make a play, and then I saw the flag.” The play capped a 12-point fourth quarter for North Carolina (2-0). Casey Barth started the comeback with a 22-yard

field goal, and T.J. Yates led the team on a 13-play drive that ended with his 2-yard touchdown pass to tight end Zack Pianalto with 2:36 left. Pianalto hurt his leg jumping up and down after the score and had to be taken from the field in an air cast, another bizarre moment from a game that Please see HEELS, page 4B

The Vikings’ 5-2 loss to KVA Friday put them in the 11 a.m. matchup with the Panthers. Northern did not face Franklinton, the team that KVA defeated to win the Classic Saturday.

Spartans win rematch with Franklinton, 2-0 By ERIC S. ROBINSON Dispatch Sports Editor

ast year, Franklinton claimed the Burger King Classic with a 2-0 win over host Kerr-Vance in the finals. This year, it was the Spartans who hoisted the trophy after beating the Red Rams 2-0 in the rematch. In the four years Rick Frampton has coached Spartan soccer, KVA has been unable to win

the Burger King Classic until Saturday. In Frampton’s first year, the winner was determined by a point system, and KVA lost by a point to Franklin Academy. The Spartans lost in round one in 2007 before their finals loss in 2008. “It’s been frustrating not being able to win your own tournament, but they came through and they played hard,” said Frampton. KVA advanced to Saturday’s finals after a 5-2 win over Northern

Vance Friday. “We scored seven goals on the weekend. We’re 3-0 this week, so I can’t complain,” Frampton said. Chris Frampton had a good look early in Saturday’s game, but his shot bounced off the right post, hit the left post, and ricocheted out. Frampton had another shot clank off the post a little later.

Northern Vance left the Burger King Classic unblemished Saturday. The Vikings defeated both Kerr-Vance and Franklinton in straight sets, winning the trimatch and claiming the trophy. After Kerr-Vance opened with a four-set win over the Red Rams in the 10 a.m. matchup, they turned around to play the visiting Vikings at noon. Though they were defeated in three, the score was closer than their previous loss at Northern on Aug. 25. “I thought we did a better job today of swinging

at them, and I thought we also passed their attacks better, and that’s indicated by the score,” said KVA coach Paul Ross. Northern coach William Hoyle gave credit to KVA, but also said he was disappointed with his team’s play in the match, stating that they need to be more consistent with tough Carolina 3A Conference competition looming. “Today, they had some pretty good attacks. I thought they were a much-improved team,” Hoyle said. “This was not our best game of the year. My concern is, going into conference next week, we need to be at our best. So I was not pleased with the performance of our team.”

“But I will give part of that credit to Kerr-Vance and the way they played.” The Vikings easily carried the first set against the Spartans, 25-14. They carried the momentum into a 9-3 run to open the second. But KVA regrouped after taking a timeout. They began to rally back, and brought the score to within two at 12-10. The Vikings scored five straight to get some breathing room on their way to a 25-20 set win. Robin Butler’s kill in the third set made it 7-3, and a Katie Wilson kill made it 9-5.

Two-minute drill Backup Renfree leads Duke over Army College Football North Carolina A&T defeats Norfolk St. 17-13 GREENSBORO (AP) — Mike Mayhew’s thirdquarter touchdown run proved to be the winning score to lead North Carolina A&T to a 17-13 victory over Norfolk State on Saturday night. The Aggies (2-0, 1-0 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) trailed 13-10 at halftime but held the Spartans (1-1, 0-1) scoreless in the second half. Mayhew’s 8-yard run capped a five-play, 61-yard drive and gave North Carolina A&T a 17-13 lead with 10:53 remaining in the third quarter. He finished with 87 yards on 14 carries.

Big fourth vaults Liberty over N.C. Central LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) — B.J. Hayes rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown in Liberty’s 35-10 win over N.C. Central on Saturday night. Hayes scored on a 74-yard run midway through the fourth quarter. Aldreakis Allen, Mike Brown and SirChauncey Holloway each ran for touchdowns as Liberty (1-1) piled up 231 yards rushing. Brown also completed 10 of 12 passes for 74 yards and a touchdown. Liberty forced three fumbles and intercepted two passes. N.C. Central (0-2) took a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter after a touchdown pass from Michael Johnson and a 35-yard field goal by Frankie Cardell.

NFL Favre named one of five Vikings captains MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Brett Favre has been selected one of five captains for the Minnesota Vikings this season. Favre has been with the team for less than a month, but apparently has already made enough of an impression to be elected a captain by his teammates. Guard Steve Hutchinson, defensive tackle Kevin Williams, linebacker E.J. Henderson and kicker Ryan Longwell are the other permanent captains this season. The Vikings will also pick a sixth captain on a game-by-game basis. Favre signed with the Vikings on Aug. 18 and has been working ever since to get up to speed with his teammates on the field and earn their trust in the locker room. He addressed the team on Monday, saying he felt the need to let them know personally that he ended his second retirement for the right reasons.

WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — Duke coach David Cutcliffe knew he was going to play Sean Renfree at some point. Renfree himself didn’t know until the Blue Devils recovered a fumble at the Army 19 and he got sent out onto the field. Two plays later, he connected on the first pass of his college career for a 17yard scoring pass that put Duke ahead on its way to a 35-19 win over the Black Knights. “I just ran in there, threw that, and just all you can do is be the happiest kid ever and run down there and go celebrate with my team,” the redshirt freshman said. Renfree replaced starter Thaddeus Lewis, who completed 5 of 16 for 60 yards. Lewis completed his 50th career TD pass, becoming the 14th ACC quarterback to reach that milestone, to bring the Blue Devils to within 10-7 with 5:52 remaining in the first half. It stayed that way until Renfree’s opportunity. “I had intended to play him last week and didn’t, and I made my mind up

Duke quarterback Sean Renfree throws a third quarter touchdown against Army during Saturday’s game. we would play him regardless of circumstance,” Cutcliffe said. “It’s not any kind of statement or anything other than just confidence in Sean. ... I had decided I wanted Sean in there in that series, unless we’re backed up.” Leon Wright sealed the game for Duke by returning two interceptions in a 16-second span for touchdowns of 51 and 33 yards in final 1:48 to end any hopes of a comeback by the Black Knights.

Patrick Mealy led Army with 99 yards rushing on 10 carries. The Black Knights outgained Duke, 385 yards to 236. “Give Army some credit — pretty nasty scheme defensively,” Cutcliffe said. Renfree gave the Blue Devils a 21-13 advantage on a 31-yard TD pass to an open Donovan Varner to start the fourth quarter. Army (1-1), in coach Rich Ellerson’s Michie Stadium debut, got a quick touchdown with its triple option offense. But the Black Knights didn’t score another touchdown until time expired. Army backup Carson Williams completed 8 of 18 passes for 91 yards, all in the fourth quarter, and hit Alejandro Villanueva for the final score. “You take away those two interceptions, it’s 2119 and we’re going for 2 to tie the game,” Army linebacker Stephen Anderson said. “It’s a game of inches, and we fell a little short. We know what it feels like to be on the other side, but that’s not going to keep us from fighting back.” Army drew to within

14-13 on Alex Carlton’s 31-yard field goal late in the third before Duke’s 78yard drive was capped by Renfree’s pass to Varner. Mealy ran 55 yards to the Duke 24 line on Army’s first offensive play of the game. The Black Knights needed only four additional plays to score on quarterback Trent Steelman’s 2-yard keeper, capping a 79-yard drive. “They threw a play we’ve never seen before,” Duke linebacker Vincent Rey said. “They ended up scoring on that drive. But the main thing was for us to recuperate.” Marcus Hilton’s fumble recovery at the Duke 42 set up Carlton’s 43-yard field goal for a 10-0 Black Knights lead 1:22 into the second quarter. Duke basketball coach — and 1969 West Point grad — Mike Krzyzewski was in attendance. The former Black Knights coach was inducted into Army’s Hall of Fame on Friday. “I think he was pulling for us — I’ll have to ask him,” Cutcliffe said, smiling.

Mountaineer passing game too much for Pirates By JOHN RABY AP Sports Writer

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Jarrett Brown threw for a career-high 334 yards and four touchdown West Virginia paid back East Carolina with a 35-20 victory on Saturday. Brown was at ease directing the offense in his second start since taking over for the departed Pat White. He completed nine straight passes at one point against a veteran defense and finished 24 of 31. He also ran 10 times for 73 yards. West Virginia (2-0) sacked Patrick Pinkney four times and held East Carolina (1-1) scoreless in the second half. The Mountaineers used last year’s 24-3 loss at East Carolina as motivation and improved to 13-0 all time at home against the Pirates. East Carolina is still looking for Pinkney to return to last year’s form that saw him lead the Pirates to a nine-win season that included vic-

Pinkney followed up a poor performance against Appalachian State by going 16 of 39 for 175 yards with one TD toss and an interception. East Carolina was limited to 237 yards of offense. Brown capped his day by hitting freshman Tavon Austin with a 58yard TD toss early in the third quarter to put West Virginia ahead 28-20. East Carolina had a chance to

close the gap in the fourth but turned the ball over on downs at the West Virginia 25. Noel Devine led West Virginia with 80 yards rushing, including a 4-yard TD run midway through the fourth that capped the scoring. Jock Sanders had nine catches for 99 yards. All of East Carolina’s points came with help from West Virginia mistakes. The Mountaineers committed five penalties on their first two posses-

sions, giving the Pirates great field position early, and Sanders and teammate Brandon Hogan mishandled second-quarter punts. East Carolina’s firsthalf scoring drives: 31, 26, 0 and 18 yards. Without the help, East Carolina struggled. Pinkney threw passes behind his receivers and took little advantage of a West Virginia defense that lost linemen Julian Miller and Scooter Berry and linebacker Reed Williams with first-half injuries. Pinkney threw six straight incompletions at one point, while Brown was sharp. Alric Arnett caught first-half scoring tosses of 46 and 11 yards from Brown and the Mountaineers led 21-20 at halftime. Brown wasn’t flawless, but his mistakes weren’t costly. He threw a thirdquarter interception deep in East Carolina territory and he fumbled the ball away at the ECU 19 early in the fourth.

Bulls fall 10-7, Louisville forces Game 5 Special to the Dispatc

LOUISVILLE, KY — Michel Hernandez belted a two-run homer in a four-run second, but Louisville rallied past the Bulls 10-7, forcing a deciding game five in their first-round playoff series. Hernandez's two-run homer to left, Durham's first of the playoffs, followed Elliot Johnson's two-run single, and gave Durham a 4-2 advantage. Louisville stormed back with four in the bottom of the frame against Rayner Oliveros and Heath Rollins (0-1) to lead 6-4. Durham then

answered with two in the third in see-saw battle to even the contest at six. Rollins had settled down, throwing four straight scoreless innings, but allowed a solo homer to right by Danny Dorn in the sixth, and then a second run scored on a Joe Nelson wild pitch, giving Louisville an 8-6 advantage. Durham had the tying runs aboard in the seventh, but Matt Joyce grounded into an inningdouble play against Enerio del Rosario to end the frame. In the eighth, Durham cut the lead to 8-7 on closer Logan Ondrusek's throwing error,

the second by a Louisville pitcher that inning. However, Ondrusek got two groundouts with the tying and lead runs on base to end the threat. Louisville then answered with two runs in the eighth inning against Mike Wlodarczyk to close the scoring. Durham collected nine hits, two each from Elliot Johnson and Justin Ruggiano. The deciding game five will be at 5:05 on Sunday. Airtime on 99.9 the Fan's HD2 and www. durhambulls.com is at 4:45. Paul Phillips is expected to start for

FISHING, from page 1B was it, and we got to watch the winner eat a foot-long bowfin from about 10 yards away. She/he was chewing and crunching the bones in a hurry, and within minutes over half the fish was gone, while the other otter watched hungrily. If we had a movie camera we could have made a great nature film, but the cell phone photos we took will have to do. It sounds like they are catching the stripers all

over Kerr Lake in the mornings and evenings casting top water lures. I heard of one angler that has limited out five of the last five days. Next week’s article – BFL results from Lake Gaston. I will know whether I am headed to the Easter Regional on the Potomac in October. I am so confident that I am going to make it that I have already paid for my lodgings at the campground in La Plata, Md.

Tip of the week – Use gallon Ziploc freezer bags to store plastic worms. Put the worms in the bags inside their original packages, storing similar types of lures together. Write on the outside of the freezer bag what is inside, for example, large lizards, finesse worms, large worms. This will help you quickly locate what you are looking for when you need it.

Houston stuns No. 5 Cowboys; USC downs Ohio St. Houston 45, No. 5 Oklahoma St. 35 STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Case Keenum threw for 366 yards and three touchdowns, and Bryce Beall caught the go-ahead 6-yard pass off a batted ball as Houston stunned No. 5 Oklahoma State 45-35 on Saturday. The Cougars (2-0) gave second-year coach Kevin Sumlin his first marquee win with the program’s first victory over a Top 5 team since an upset of thirdranked Texas in 1984. Oklahoma State (1-1) was coming off of perhaps the biggest opening win in the program’s history last week against Georgia and vaulted into the Top 5 for the first time since 1985. But after overcoming a 17-point halftime lead, the Cowboys squandered their final chances for a win. No. 1 Florida 56, Troy 6 GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Tim Tebow threw four touchdown passes, ran for another score and the Gators beat Troy in their final tuneup before beginning Southeastern Conference play. Florida (2-0) started slow in this one, punting twice and fumbling once in its first four series. But once Tebow & Co. got on track, the Trojans (0-2) looked nearly as overmatched as Charleston Southern did last week. No. 2 Texas 41, Wyoming 10 LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) — Colt McCoy warmed up after a shaky start and No. 2 Texas overcame poor special teams play and a bad first half to beat Wyoming. The Longhorns (2-0) looked ready to be lassoed until taking a 13-10 lead just before halftime, although their defense had a great afternoon against a spread offense in preparation for next weekend’s showdown with Texas Tech. No. 3 USC 18, No. 8 Ohio St. 15 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Backed up to their own goal line, Matt Barkley and Joe McKnight drove into Southern California lore. Barkley, the freshman quarterback, and McKnight, the shifty tailback, made big play after big play, and Stafon Johnson capped one of the great drives in USC’s storied history with a 2-yard touchdown run with 1:05 left to give the third-ranked Trojans a 18-15 victory against No. 8 Ohio State on Saturday night. No. 4 Alabama 40, Florida International 14 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Greg McElroy completed a school-record 14 straight passes, freshman Trent Richardson rushed for a pair of second-half touchdowns and Alabama pulled away from Florida International. The Crimson Tide (2-0) couldn’t shake the 33-point

underdog Golden Panthers (0-1) until Richardson scored from 9 and 35 yards in the final 19 minutes. Terry Grant added a 42-yard TD run.

No. 7 Penn State 28, Syracuse 7 STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Evan Royster ran for a touchdown and caught another, and Penn State contained quarterback Greg Paulus and rebuilding Syracuse. Royster turned a short throw into a 49-yard touchdown on the game’s opening drive, and added a 12-yard scoring run to give the Nittany Lions a 14-0 lead in the second quarter. Penn State (2-0) throttled Syracuse’s running game early, and the Orange (0-2) unsuccessfully tried to throw off the Nittany Lions’ defense, at times alternating Paulus and backup Ryan Nassib at quarterback. No. 9 Brigham Young 54, Tulane 3 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Max Hall threw two touchdown passes, Bryan Kariya scored twice and Brigham Young crushed Tulane. The Cougars (2-0) got off to a sluggish start following their big win over Alabama, managing only two field goals by Mitch Payne in the first quarter. BYU began hitting its stride just before halftime, building a 20-3 lead. No. 10 California 59, Eastern Washington 7 BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Jahvid Best rushed for 144 yards and scored two touchdowns to make sure California avoided a letdown against Eastern Washington. Best caught a 22-yard touchdown pass from Kevin Riley in the first half and scored on a 1-yard run in the third quarter for the Golden Bears (2-0). Riley also ran for a touchdown and Shane Vareen had three short TD runs as Cal posted its second straight blowout to open the season. No. 11 LSU 23, Vanderbilt 9 BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Keiland Williams rushed for 72 yards and LSU’s only two touchdowns in a victory over Vanderbilt. The Commodores (1-1, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) trailed by only one touchdown midway through the fourth quarter as they attempted to win in Tiger Stadium for the first time since 1951. No. 12 Boise State 48, Miami, Ohio 0 BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Kellen Moore threw four touchdown passes and No. 12 Boise State rolled over Miami, Ohio. The Broncos (2-0) were never really challenged by the rebuilding RedHawks (0-2), still looking for their first points of the season.

Moore was 16-of-26 passing for 307 yards, including a 65-yard TD pass to receiver Titus Young in the third quarter. Moore also threw touchdowns to Austin Pettis and Tyler Shoemaker before heading for the bench in the third quarter with Boise State up 34-0.

No. 13 Oklahoma 64, Idaho State 0 NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Freshman quarterback Landry Jones threw three touchdown passes in his first career start and Oklahoma routed Idaho State. Jones, replacing injured Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford, found a favorite target in Ryan Broyles, who caught scoring passes of 24, 51 and 11 yards and finished with seven catches for 155 yards for Oklahoma (1-1), which bounced back from a seasonopening loss to BYU. No. 14 Virginia Tech 52, Marshall 10 BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Freshman Ryan Williams ran for 164 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 14 Virginia Tech more than tripled its offensive production from last week in a rout of Marshall. The Hokies (1-1) managed only 155 yards in their opener against Alabama, but that tally was topped before the end of the first quarter against the Thundering Herd (1-1). No. 16 TCU 30, Virginia 14 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — TCU held Virginia’s new spread offense to seven first downs, and the Horned Frogs breezed to a victory in their season opener. Virginia (0-2) largely avoided the turnover problems that led to their opening loss to William and Mary, but couldn’t get anything going against the stout TCU defense. Virginia escaped its first home shutout since 1984 when Jameel Sewell heaved a 56-yard touchdown pass to Javaris Brown late in the game. He added 26-yard TD to Tim Smith with 1:48 left. Michigan 38, No. 18 Notre Dame 34 ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Tate Forcier threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Greg Mathews with 11 seconds left, lifting Michigan to a win over Notre Dame. Armando Allen ran for a touchdown and got the 2-point conversion on a nifty Statue of Liberty play with 5:13 left after Jimmy Clausen threw his third touchdown pass to give the Fighting Irish (1-1) the lead, but their defense could not deny Forcier and the Wolverines (2-0). No. 21 Georgia 41, South Carolina 37 ATHENS, Ga. (AP) —

Rennie Curran broke up a fourth-down pass at the goal line and Georgia held off South Carolina in a wild game. The nearly four-hour contest wasn’t decided until Curran, a linebacker, batted down Stephen Garcia’s final throw on a fourth-and-4 play at the Georgia 7 with 27 seconds remaining.

No. 22 Nebraska 38, Arkansas State 9 LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Zac Lee passed for 340 yards and four touchdowns, and Nebraska warmed up for next week’s trip to Virginia Tech with a victory over Arkansas State. The Cornhuskers (2-0) scored on five of their first six possessions, ending any hopes the Red Wolves (1-1) had of pulling an even bigger upset than their win at Texas A&M last year. No. 23 Cincinnati 70, Southeast Missouri State 3 CINCINNATI (AP) — Mardy Gilyard scored four touchdowns as part of the third-best scoring performance in Cincinnati’s history, reaching the end zone on an electrifying punt return, a run and two catches Saturday during the Bearcats’ rout of Southeast Missouri State. A quick-strike offense scored every which way during a 49-point first half, the biggest in coach Brian Kelly’s three seasons at Cincinnati (2-0). Gilyard was the catalyst, putting together one of the top individual performances in school history. No. 24 Kansas 34, Texas-El Paso 7 EL PASO, Texas (AP) — Jake Sharp ran for 104 yards and three touchdowns while Kansas got two big punt returns from Daymond Patterson to beat Texas-El Paso. Todd Reesing completed 25 of 41 attempts for 260 yards passing with one interception. He threw a 5-yard TD to Sharp and worked again Dezmon Briscoe, who returned from a one-game suspension and had eight catches for 154 yards. No. 25 Missouri 27, Bowling Green 20 COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Blaine Gabbert threw two second-half touchdown passes and Derrick Washington scored the go-ahead TD late in the fourth quarter, helping Missouri rally from a dud start to beat Bowling Green. Washington had 120 yards on 23 carries for the Tigers, who jumped into the rankings after an impressive opening victory over Illinois and needed a strong finish for any hope of staying there.

VOLLEYBALL, from page 1B within two at 18-16, but only managed three more points in Northern’s 25-19 win. “If you give Northern free balls, easy tips, easy balls that they can pass, they’re going to beat you to death because they’ll jump on it and get a good swing back at you,” said Ross. After taking the first two sets with the Red Rams with little difficulty (25-17, 25-11), Franklinton turned it up in the third set against Northern. They tied it up at 10 before taking the lead, which they held until Northern tied it up at 19 and 20. A serve from Rebekah Edwards made it 21-20, and a kill from Lauren Abbott made it 23-21. They held on for the 25-22 set win. Hoyle said his team was still out of sync, but that he was happy with the way his starters rooted on their subs

late in the match. “I was probably as pleased with that as anything that we’ve done today. We pulled together as a team in the Franklinton match, so I have to be proud of my players for that,” he said. In the opening match of the day, KVA got down early, 3-0 against the Red Rams. The early part of the match was highly competitive, with the score knotted up until the Spartans broke away. An ace from Katie White made it 17-11, and a later Haley Ross ace made it 20-13. The Spartans took the set 25-17, with Megan Burrows’ kill earning the winning point. Kerr-Vance rode strong serving throughout the match, with eight aces served by Morgan Oettinger and six by Bailey Hughes. “(Oettinger) just came

out and really got in a groove serving the ball,” said Ross. After they got down early, KVA tied the score several times, finally getting the lead at 12-11. They extended their lead to 16-11, but Franklinton tied it up at 22. Tied again at 23, the Red Rams scored two more to claim the set 25-23. Good serving helped the Spartans again in set three. White, Hughes and Oettinger each had aces. They built a 20-10 lead on their way to a 25-15 win. Kilian dropped a dink just over the heads of a couple of Red Rams to make it 7-3 in set four. Brooke Pulley then served an ace, and the Spartan lead grew to 9-3 early. They carried the early momentum for the rest of the set, winning 25-15. KVA will host Franklin

Academy Tuesday at 5 p.m., while Northern Vance plays their first conference match at Orange on Thursday.

VIKINGS, from page 1B mance against a team a lot smaller and less experienced than us,” Northern coach David Hicks said about Saturday’s win. Hicks said the team discussed how to improve from Friday’s loss, and said he felt better about Saturday’s effort. “I wanted us to be a little more aggressive going to the ball,” he said. “I wanted our attacking people to go up higher.” Joseph Falkner got the scoring started for Northern Saturday. He drove deep into Panther territory from near midfield, weaving around defenders before scoring an unassisted goal in the fifth minute. Kevin Byrom kicked in the second Viking goal a little later on an assist from younger brother Ethan and Blake Wade. Northern controlled possession throughout the match. The Panthers

had their first real drive onto the Northern side at minute 25, but couldn’t get a look at the goal. Kevin Byrom scored another with 9:40 to go in the half. He dribbled around defenders and put it past the goalie. Just a short time later, another Byrom shot was just wide to the right. Wade made it 4-0 when he scored on a cross from Byrom with 3:20 to play. The Vikings took the 4-0 lead into halftime. Just over six minutes into the second half, Falkner scored again to make it 5-0. Byrom kicked it in from the corner, and Wade passed it to Falkner. Granville Central scored their lone goal in minute 74. Northern (3-3-2) will host Warren County Monday at 7 p.m. Contact the writer at erobinson@hendersondispatch.com.

SPARTANS, from page 1B match. Dallas Smith fired a shot to the right in minute 12, but it was saved by the Red Ram keeper. KVA got on the board with just under 16 minutes to play in the first half. Chris Mitchell knocked a free kick toward the goal. The ball bounced off a Red Ram defender and into the back of the net for an own goal. “I’m not going to turn it away,” said Frampton. The Spartans had another goal negated by an offsides call with six minutes to play. George Hoyle’s kick rolled toward the goal, and Chris Frampton lightly knocked it in from a couple of feet away. Frampton was called offsides. Tyler Bolton narrowly missed another Spartan goal in the opening seconds of the second half. His kick was just wide to the left. Another Spartan drive barely missed another point on the board. With the keeper out of the goal,

Frampton’s shot went wide to the right. Brandon Dickerson had a kick saved at minute 48, but found the goal two minutes later. Dickerson kicked it in off a nice pass from George Hoyle. “The second goal was absolutely beautiful. It was great work, a pass between three guys. They did a triangle, knocked it around and then put it in the back of the net,” said Rick Frampton. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t put anymore in. By the rules, we didn’t need anymore. We only needed one today.” Kerr-Vance has a tough schedule for the week ahead. They travel to Greenfield Tuesday, and host conference opponent Cary Christian Thursday. Friday, they travel to Fayetteville Academy, the No. 1 state-ranked 2A team. Contact the writer at erobinson@hendersondispatch.com.

Roberts’ slam leads Orioles past Yankees Orioles 7, Yankees 3 NEW YORK (AP) — Brian Roberts hit a grand slam in a six-run second inning and tied a franchise record with his 51st double as Baltimore beat up A.J. Burnett and the New York Yankees. Brian Matusz (5-2) won his third straight start, and the Yankees lost consecutive games for the first time since Aug. 16-17 at Seattle and Oakland. Burnett (11-9) was hit hard for the third time in five starts and appeared far from ready to start Game 2 or 3 of the postseason next month. He allowed six runs and seven hits in seven innings, is 1-5 in his last nine starts, and has a 7.67 ERA in his last five outings while giving up eight homers. Athletics 4, Twins 2 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Brett Anderson threw seven sharp innings, and Cliff Pennington had three hits with an RBI as Oakland won for the fifth time in six games. Anderson (9-10) retired 18 of 24 batters, including the final eight he faced, and didn’t allow a walk for the fourth time this season to win his second-consecutive start.

He doubled leading off the 10th against Angels closer Brian Fuentes (1-4). Gordon Beckham singled to advance Podsednik to third. A.J. Pierzynski then hit a flyball to center that was too shallow for Podsednik to score.

Blue Jays 8, Tigers 6 DETROIT (AP) — Aaron Hill hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the ninth inning, capping Toronto’s come-from-behind victory over slumping Detroit. Rod Barajas, Vernon Wells and Marco Scutaro also homered for Toronto, which handed the AL Central-leading Tigers their fifth straight loss. Miguel Cabrera, Curtis Granderson and Alex Avila homered for Detroit. Indians 13, Royals 6 CLEVELAND (AP) — Jhonny Peralta drove in four runs to help David Huff become Cleveland’s first 10-game winner, and the Indians snapped Kansas City’s five-game winning streak. Peralta had a two-run double in the fourth inning off Luke Hochevar (6-10) and his two-run single capped a five-run sixth that put Cleveland ahead 11-3.

Rain relents as Nadal advances at Open By EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer

NEW YORK — After a day of waiting around, Rafael Nadal finally got back on the court. About a half hour later, he was still looking for some action. The third-seeded Nadal took advantage of an embarrassing collapse by No. 11 Fernando Gonzalez at the U.S. Open on Saturday to put away his quarterfinal, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2), 6-0. Next up for Nadal — a semifinal Sunday against No. 6 Juan Martin del Potro. Any concerns about Rafa and his sore abdominal muscles being overtaxed heading into a weekend made longer because of the rain have all but vanished. Kind of like Gonzalez’s game.

A match that had been a taut, well-played affair got postponed Thursday night with Nadal leading 3-2 in the second-set tiebreaker. They had to wait out an entire day of rain before coming back to the court to resume under overcast skies and temperatures in the 60s. This was not more of the same. Gonzalez opened the tiebreaker by spraying three forehands out, then pounded Nadal’s serve into the net on set point. He lost two more points to start the third set before finally getting on the board. But after dropping the first game, the Chilean, back in the Open quarterfinals for the first time since 2002, chucked his racket toward his chair en route to the changeover.

It kept getting worse, and even a medical timeout to have tape cut off his ankles couldn’t stop this slide. Final numbers: 59 unforced errors for Gonzalez to 13 for Nadal; Nadal won 31 of the 43 points played after the restart. The whole affair took 34 minutes to wrap up. “Fernando had a few more mistakes than the last day,” Nadal said. “That helped me a little more.” The women’s semifinals, also pushed back a day because of the rain that shut down the tournament Friday, were scheduled for later Saturday. Yanina Wickmayer was scheduled to play No. 9 Caroline Wozniacki in the afternoon, with Kim Clijsters going against No. 2 Serena Williams in prime time — both in Arthur Ashe Stadium.

But shortly after the Nadal match, the rain started again and delayed the men’s doubles final that was to precede the women on Ashe. The weather and the easy match were all a welcome respite for Nadal, who has been dealing with the sore stomach muscles throughout this tournament. “It was important to have one day off to recover a little better,” he said. “Today, I feel well.” Next comes his match against Del Potro with a trip to the final on the line. Nadal, who needs the U.S. Open to complete a career Grand Slam, leads the head-to-head series 4-2, though del Potro has won the last two meetings, both outdoors on hard court this year.

ACC FOOTBALL WRAP-UP

Seminoles hold on to avoid major upset vs. JSU Florida St. 19, Jacksonville St. 9 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State needed two scores in the final 35 seconds Saturday night to avoid arguably one of the most embarrassing upsets in school history. Ty Jones’ 1-yard touchdown run on fourth down with 35 seconds left put the Seminoles ahead of lower-division Jacksonville (Ala.) State and teammate Kevin McNeil returned a fumble for a score 21 seconds later to seal the 19-9 victory. Trailing 9-7, Jones’ TD rallied the Seminoles and McNeil scooped up Ryan Perrilloux’s fumble and ran 33 yards for his score. McNeil also blocked a field goal try by Jacksonville’s Patrick Tatum in the third quarter that could have given the Gamecocks a 12-7 lead. The visiting Gamecocks (0-2) took advantage of three Florida State turnovers to keep control of the contest until the final minute. Florida State (1-1) hasn’t lost to a school in the Football Championship Subdivision since a 9-0 defeat to William & Mary in 1969. The Seminoles were listless for much of the game, coming just five days after a 38-34 loss to archrival Miami. Florida State makes its first road appearance next Saturday for a date with No. 9 Brigham Young. Christian Ponder’s 24-yard pass to Richard Goodman with 1:11 left in the game set up Jones’ go-ahead score. Ponder threw for a career high 324 yards, completing 22 of 35 passes without a touchdown or interception — teaming mostly with Goodman, who caught eight passes for 80 yards.

Wake Forest 24, Stanford 17 WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Riley Skinner scored on a 1-yard keeper with 2 seconds remaining and Wake Forest rallied from a 14-point deficit to beat Stanford 24-17 on Saturday. Skinner finished 18 of 26 for 187 yards with a touchdown pass for the Demon Deacons (1-1). His 44-yard pass to thirdstringer Lovell Jackson with less than a minute left set up his winning score. Redshirt freshman Andrew Luck was 23 of 34 for 276 yards with two touchdowns to Ryan Whalen for the Cardinal (1-1). They were denied their first 2-0 start since 2004. N.C. State 65, Murray St. 7 RALEIGH (AP) — Russell Wilson threw four touchdown passes to help North Carolina State’s offense bounce back from a miserable showing in its season opener and beat Murray State 65-7 on

Saturday night. Wilson threw for 228 yards for the Wolfpack (1-1), who led 45-0 at halftime and scored on its first 10 drives before punting in the fourth quarter. Toney Baker also had two rushing scores and a receiving touchdown. It was all part of a 484yard day for N.C. State, which had 133 yards in last week’s 7-3 home loss to South Carolina. N.C. State’s defense and special teams helped out, too. Leroy Burgess recovered fumbles on the Racers’ first two possessions to set up short touchdown drives, while T.J. Graham had a 57-yard punt return later in the half that put the Wolfpack at Murray State’s 1 later in the half. Murray State (1-1) managed 36 total yards.

sided victory after a 54-0 win against Northeastern last week. Tuggle threw a 6-yard touchdown to Rich Gunnell to give Boston College a 31-0 lead in the third quarter. Gunnell, who finished with six catches for 114 yards, also caught a 21-yard score from Shinskie in the opening quarter. Kent State backup quarterback Spencer Keith connected with Jon Simpson for a 4-yard score with 2:15 left in the game. The Golden Flashes’ (1-1) score spoiled the Eagles’ bid for consecutive seasonopening shutouts for the first time since 1933.

Maryland 38, James Madison 35 COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Nick Ferrara kicked a 26-yard field goal in overtime, giving Maryland a narrow 38-35 win over James Madison on Saturday night. Starting first in overtime, James Madison moved one yard in three plays before Dixon Wright was wide right on a 41yard field goal try. Maryland (1-1) then used two runs by Da’Rel Scott to move the ball to the 13. Following two carries by quarterback Chris Turner, the second of which got the ball to the middle of the field, Ferrara connected. Coming off a 52-13 loss to California, the Terrapins hoped to rebound with a convincing win over James Madison. But Maryland received another poor performance from its young defense and an inconsistent showing from an offense that committed two turnovers. Drew Dudzik ran for 112 yards and a touchdown and threw for two scores for James Madison (0-1).

in the fourth quarter. He led the Tar Heels on a 78-yard drive that ended with Barth’s field goal, and when UNC got the ball back, he marched 78-yards again, eating up 6:36 before finding Pianalto in the end zone from 2-yards out. “We were just making adjustments on the run, throwing formations we hadn’t even practiced all week,” Yates said. “(We’d) pick things up, draw something in the dirt, see if that works, try something new out and see if that works. Once that was working, we just kept at it and kept at it and moved the ball down the field.” The Huskies held North Carolina to just 65 yards in the first half, and pressured Yates all day, sacking him six times. But North Carolina’s defense

held UConn to 196 yards, and dominated the Huskies in the fourth quarter. UConn got the ball at the 20 after the tying touchdown, but a snap over backup quarterback Cody Endres’ head on second down put the ball at the 8-yard line. Endres scrambled away from the pass rush on third down, and completed a 16-yard pass to Todman that would have given the Huskies a fourth-and-6. But there was the flag in the end zone, and the safety that gave North Carolina the lead. “I didn’t even know that was a rule,” said Tar Heels cornerback Charles Brown Jr. “I heard the coaches screaming, ’Safety, safety safety,’ so I started jumping up and down (yelling) ’Safety, safety.”’

HEELS, from page 1B ended in crazy fashion. After the safety, UConn recovered the onside kick but couldn’t get into fieldgoal range. “I told the chancellor, ’That’s why you don’t see any 100-year-old football coaches,”’ said North Carolina coach Butch Davis. The Tar Heels are 3-0 against the Huskies, while UConn has just one win in 14 games against Top 25 opponents. UConn (1-1) was playing without its best defensive player, injured linebacker Scott Lutrus, and lost starting quarterback Zack Frazer to a knee injury late in the third quarter. The Huskies’ stifling defense held North Carolina scoreless and with just 134 yards of offense through three quarters. They sacked Yates six times and

intercepted him twice. A 47-yard field goal from Dave Teggart at the halftime buzzer gave UConn a 3-0 lead. The Huskies seemed poised for an upset after cornerback Robert McClain batted Yates’ pass into the hands of Twyon Martin at the Tar Heels 26 late in the third quarter. UConn tailback Jordan Todman dragged several defenders the final four yards for the score, putting the Huskies up 10-0. “We slugged it out for the whole game,” said UConn coach Randy Edsall. “We just couldn’t make that play when we needed to, and that’s the bottom line.” Yates, who completed 23 of 32 passes for 233 yards and two interceptions, found his groove

Hamlin wins at home but Busch falls short of Chase

Serena Williams reacts after losing a point to Kim Clijsters during their match at the U.S. Open in New York Saturday.

Clijsters stuns Serena in US Open semifinals NEW YORK (AP) — Kim Clijsters has upset Serena Williams in a U.S. Open semifinal that ended when the defending champion was docked a point for yelling at an official who called a foot fault. The unseeded, unranked Clijsters reached the final by beating No. 2 Williams 6-4, 7-5 Saturday night. With Williams serving at 5-6, 15-30 in the second set, she faulted on her first serve. On the

second, the line judge called a foot fault, making it a double-fault. That made the score 15-40, giving Clijsters a match point. Williams went over and said something to the line judge, who reported it to the chair umpire. That led to the chair umpire awarding a point to Clijsters, ending the match. Williams already had been given a code violation warning when she broke her racket after losing the first set.

RICHMOND, Va. — Denny Hamlin finally grabbed a coveted win at his home track in a bittersweet night for Joe Gibbs Racing. As he celebrated in Victory Lane, teammate Kyle Busch was shut out of the Chase for the championship. It was a compelling night of Saturday night racing at Richmond International Raceway, where 11 drivers vied for the final eight available spots in NASCAR’s title-deciding Chase. On the bubble was Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth, who started the race in the 12th and final qualifying spot, with hardcharging Brian Vickers and Busch, owner of four wins this season, right on his bumper. Kenseth struggled from the drop of the green flag

Tiger Woods tees off on the third hole during the third round of the BMW Championship in Lemont, Ill., Saturday.

Tiger builds a big lead at Cog Hill By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

LEMONT, Ill. — Tiger Woods dropped his 3-wood in disgust after his first tee shot Saturday sailed left into the bunker for another sloppy bogey. Four hours later, he finished off his best round of the year to build a seven-shot lead in the BMW Championship. Getting better with every shot, Woods broke the course record at Cog Hill with a 9-under 62 and blew away the 68-man field in the third FedEx Cup playoff event. He also tied the tournament record, set last year by Jim Furyk outside St. Louis at Bellerive. “After I got past the first hole I was doing all right,” Woods said. “It was one of those days that kind of built upon itself.” A course renovated by Rees Jones with hopes of landing a U.S. Open was no match for Woods. He hit his most unheralded shot of the round, a 7-iron that stopped 3 feet away from a dangerous pin at the par-3 sixth, and never came close to missing another green. The signature shot was his 3-wood from just over 300 yards to 10 feet at the par-5 ninth for an eagle, so pure that the gallery crammed into the bleacher rose to its feet when the ball finally stopped rolling. Woods was at 16-under 197 and had his largest lead on the PGA Tour since he was eight shots in front in the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines early last year. He will play in the final pairing Sunday with Brandt Snedeker,

who had a 66. Marc Leishman had a 68 and joined Snedeker at 9-under 204, both of them hopeful of finishing high enough to get into the Tour Championship. More than being his lowest round of the year, Woods was nearly nine shots better than the field, which averaged 70.71. It will be his first time with the 54-hole lead since the PGA Championship last month at Hazeltine, where Y.E. Yang made up a twoshot deficit and became the first player to beat Woods from behind in a major. Yang is 25 shots behind at Cog Hill. Snedeker was worried about keeping his car this summer until his health improved and his game turned around. Now he has a chance to move into the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings, which would qualify him for all the majors next year. Winning this week? That’s a taller task. “Looks like Tiger is making it difficult on us,” Snedeker said after closing with four straight birdies. “I’m playing fantastic. And the best thing is I fought extremely well out there.” Matt Kuchar improved his Tour Championship hopes with a 66 and was tied for fourth at 205 with Padraig Harrington (69). It was Harrington who got Woods’ attention early in the third round. The Irishman birdied three straight holes, chipping in on the fourth hole from deep rough, while Leishman birdied four straight in the middle of the front nine to reach 10 under.

started the race sixth and could only gain one spot on the track. He finished fifth. Vickers, meanwhile, finished a career-high seventh at Richmond to grab the final Chase spot by eight points — the tightest margin since the format began in 2004. “We’ll live to see another day, we’ll go on and race the rest of the year,” Busch said. “It’s not just one night. It’s a slew of bad races.” Busch and Vickers, one-time teammates who feuded last month, showed no ill-will toward each other after the frantic finish. Busch extended a handshake and said, “Good job,” as Vickers entered the post-race news conference. Vickers, on an 11-race frantic push with upstart Red Bull Racing, promised a long night of celebrating his first Chase berth. “We picked a good night to figure this place out,”

Vickers said. Kenseth, winner of the first two races this season, was shut out of the Chase for the first time since it started in 2004. “Third race of the year, Las Vegas, we finished last and it’s been downhill from there,” Kenseth said. “The way we’re running right now, even if we made it, we wouldn’t have a shot at the championship.” Aside from Hamlin and Vickers, the rest of the Chase field is: Mark Martin, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Carl Edwards, Ryan Newman, Juan Pablo Montoya and Greg Biffle. But Hamlin, winner of two races this season, thinks he’s the favorite to dethrone Johnson’s run of three-straight championships. “They better watch us,” he vowed. “I am telling you, this team is dangerous.”

‘Vague’ moniker; clear vision and purpose

Vague-US, after years of struggle and line-up changes, released their first album, ‘All In’, to an enthusiastic crowd during a show last month at Lindy’s Oxford Bar & Grill. The buzz about the concert, the CD and the band in general has been huge. Success for this rock band from the Raleigh Triangle area of North Carolina appears imminent. Drummer and Founder Chuck Galantis spelled it out to me: “We’re bringing back the arena sound. We’d be stupid... to drop the ball right now. We’d be complete fools to just say ‘Okay, we’re not gonna take it any further; we’re gonna let this album do what it can do and hope to God it makes us some money.’ No, dude — we just opened the door!” ‘All In’ was released by the band (they are as yet unsigned). It has been in the works for three years: lineup changes, family issues and life in general delayed its completion. It was self-produced by the band, recorded and mixed by Sean Loepp at Boneyard Studios in Cary, NC, and mastered by Brent Lambert at the Kitchen in Carrboro, NC Galantis was gracious enough to meet with me recently to discuss all things Vague-Us. Guitarist Chris Renn and newly acquired bassist Justin Barker surprised me with their presence at the interview as well. Champs Sports Bar, within the Triangle Town Center complex in Raleigh, provided the proper mood (and the beer) for a relaxed yet candid conversation: Galantis described how he felt when the band finally wrapped up the recording: “It was a journey man. I’ll tell you this now — any album that you put together is never finished. It’s done but it’s not finished. A lot of the weight was put on my shoulders at one point to produce it.” He and producer Loepp butted heads for a long time before the band finally encouraged Galantis to just take the reins and finish the work. “We trust you; we’re gonna lay the chips on your table,” he quoted the other members. “After it was Dylan Shawn over it was a damn Wilson sense of relief,” he added. But it was Special Features definitely worth it. Assistant “Man, I bleed music,” Galantis said. “It (the album) gave me everything I wanted it to give me. When it got finished it was heaven on earth.” “At the end of it, being a hellacious task, those smiling faces, those records leaving the table (at the release party), those people asking us to sign them... (it was) proof in the puddin’ man,” he stated proudly. “Just seeing the people that can relate to those songs... or brighten up their day” made it all worth it. Interestingly, the very first recording for the album actually took place at guitarist Chris Renn’s trailer out of concerns about being interrupted by family (Renn is unmarried) and neighbors complaining about the volume. “Chuck, he’s pretty much the backbone of the band. He brings in just about all the tunes... either you’re born with it or you’re not,” Renn said, lauding over the drummers’ penchant for coming up with potent riffs and lyrics. “He’s blessed with songwriting (ability); he’s got a vision. It’s like that Cadillac you want to ride in, you know. You just jump on his back and go.” Yet, Renn stresses the fact that Galantis makes sure his band mates are not left out of the process. “He can foresee stuff and once he shows it, puts it out on paper and brings in a tune, everybody jumps in and puts their two cents worth on it and make it ours,” Renn explained. “It’s five pieces to the puzzle and everybody fits in and does their own thing — that’s what makes it click.” As far as how Vague-Us ultimately decides what gets used or tossed, Galantis suggested that Barker, the bassist and newest band member, tackle that question. “Being the new guy, in previous bands that’s usually a mess,” Barker answered. “It’s about the model of efficiency in Vague-Us.

With the upgrade in Galantis followed up immediately: “That’s Playing with other bands from different sound quality now available with the new what has gotten us the snowball now (refergenres makes their fan base even that much album, even more stations should soon start ring to the band’s surge in popularity and more diverse. playing their material. the release of the album). It’s amazing how “A lot of the guys you know (S.I.K., Barker was ecstatic to even be in the well these five guys, including myself, work Omega Project, etc...) are from around the band, much less on the album. Being the together.” area that we’re from and been in and out of newest member, he has not been around “The democracy of Vague-Us shines the same bands that a lot of us have been very long. through like any government could never in,” explains Renn. “It’s a respect thing, you “These guys don’t mess around,” he do,” he continued. “We solidify a decision know. Of course, everybody’s friends and of exclaimed. “Y’all didn’t just take the first and we stand on it and that’s it. I think course everybody likes music no matter how guy you found off the street.

As a you know their roots and they know your result, they’re “not going through any of that band,” he summed up. After hearing the roots and you can have fun with it? So, even finished product he felt as though he had really; it just saves a lot of time. Everybody though the the genre — it might be hard “stepped into that pot of gold.” gets along pretty good because of it.” rock, it might be southern rock, then again According to Galantis though, the ‘pot of Then, all of a sudden, Barker adds “I get it might be metal — it’s still a bunch of musigold’ is quite fragile. along with everybody.” This causes the other cians that are friends, having a good time, “The next step we take right now is crititwo members, the camera man and yours having fun.

In the its fan base. meantime, the band “We changed our members start critiquwhole attitude in Vagueing each other during Us from previous bands practice for the smallest that I’ve been in to things. But that is only where they’re no longer because they want to fans. We started calling give the audience a little them ‘family,’ ” Galantis something more than made clear. “When that what they may expect hit, when that hit, when from another band. that hit — I’ll stress And the reward for it once more — when all this effort is priceless. A perfect example of how Vague-Us treats their “family.” A lucky fan Renn explained that all (among many) got the members to autograph the back sleeve of their that hit the damn of the friends and family debut album (above) after their set at the Oxford Bar & Grill in August. airwaves, when that hit MySpace, when that hit of the band members Facebook, when that hit the Vague-Us site... two Vague-Us is with “a label that is willing showing their support is great, of course.

‘Singing Policeman’ kicks off community concert series Daniel Rodrigues, the “Singing Policeman” of 9/11 fame, will present the first performance of the 2009-2010 Henderson Community Concert series for season ticket holders tomorrow evening at 8 p.m. in the Vance-Granville Community College Civic Center Auditorium. Known as “America’s beloved tenor,” Rodrigues’ rise has been a meteoric one for a young man who, as a New York City police officer, became one of the department’s official singers. History intervened for the now retired officer on Sept. 11, 2001. His stirring a capella performances of “God Bless America” and the National Anthem seemed to be something far greater than graceful patriotic gestures. Ringing, heartfelt and beautiful, these songs became transcendent statements of solidarity, determination and hope that galvanized his fellow New Yorkers and Americans in a time of nation tragedy.

Daniel Rodrigues, the “Singing Policeman,” opens the Henderson Community Concert series for the 2009-2020 season tomorrow night at the VGCC Civc Center Auditorium. He has performed around the world, including the 2002 Winter Olympics and other sporting events. He starred in the PBS Memorial Day

concert in Washington, D.C. His stirring rendition of “God Bless America” has moved audiences at such diverse venues as Disneyland and the “Celebration

of Freedom” Inauguration Concert in January 2005. He has sung at USO events and for former President George W. Bush on numerous occasions during both of his terms. The USO, Metropolitan Washington, presented Rodrigues with its Lifetime Achievement Award. The flag for his presentation was flown over Camp Freedom in Iraq in Rodrigues’ honor and then flown to Washington for the March awards dinner. With three CD’s under his belt, Rodrigues is looking to the future with the same inquisitive optimism that has brought him to this point. His first album, “Spirit of America,” on Manhattan Records went #1 on Billboard’s Classical Crossover chart and his second CD, “From My Heart,” is a collection of richly contrasting love songs, inspired by the legendary American tenor Mario Lanza. His third CD, “In the Presence,” on Blix Street Records

showcases his rich, warm tenor voice on traditional spiritual and church songs. Selections include “American Hymn,” “How Great Thou Art,” and two duets with Tony award winner, Lea Salonga — “Panis Angelicus” and “Pie Jesu.” Rodrigues’ goals include the Broadway stage, opera and acting. “I don’t want to limit myself,” he says. “For me, life is an experience, life is a ride; you can’t say I’m going to take this road, and that’s it. Life had twists and turns, and you have to be able to navigate through them. Always consult your higher power. And let yourself be led, too. People say, ‘What do you want to do?’ and I say, ‘Well, God knows what I’ll be doing.’ I just kind of follow the signs. There have always been doors that open for me, and it’s having the courage to walk through them and experience what’s behind them that has made life interesting and has gotten

me where I am. It’s about enjoying the ride.” This much-anticipated concert is presented in affiliation with Live On Stage Inc., owned by Matt Davenport of Matt Davenport Productions, which is known in the entertainment industry for creating and providing the highest quality entertainment. Admission for this performance is by season ticket only. There will be no tickets available at the door. However, there are still some seats available for the 2009-2010 series. In addition to the Daniel Rodrigues concert, the series will include: “Red Hot Hollywood,” a red-carpet review of Hollywood’s greatest musical memories; Rudolf Budginas, a brilliant and humorous pianist; the rousing showmanship of The Hunt Family Fiddlers; and conductor Grant Llewellyn and the North Carolina Symphony.

New Bud Award among agenda items at Woodland Garden Club meeting The September meeting of the Woodland Garden Club was hosted by Jane Rush and Evelyne Hester at the Western Sizzlin Restaurant in Henderson. The meeting was called to order by President Peggy Polak and devotions were presented by Dorothy Bell. Bell used a poem entitled, “Where Joy Is” by Rosa Nelle Anderson, expressing the beauty of nature observed in fields sowed by farmers. The desire to walk away from the hurry in city life is compared to “country miles where nature lasts,” butterflies, babbling brooks, a bee in a wildflower nest, and a nimble rabbit. The poet felt much joy as she knelt beneath an old oak tree and thanked the Lord for all these manifestations of joy. The horticulture report was also presented by Bell, who stated mulch mesh is great for keeping soil mois-

ture even and weeds down. This can be accomplished by lining a driveway or plant bed with gutter guard. She suggested using landscape staples on the gutter guard to keep it in place. Once daylilies or other plants come up the spring, the mesh is invisible and the squirrels will look for another place to bury their loot. The question was posed as to whether perennials should be fertilized after July 4. Bell said lots of perennials put on most of their growth after July 4, so regular fertilizing can be continued throughout the summer. In the fall when the weather cools, perennials need a dose of fertilizer high in phosphorus (the middle number on the fertilizer bag), such as 5-10-5. This promotes strong roots to help plants survive winter and get an early start on next year’s growth.

If fertilizing is not done in the fall, it can be applied in early spring when the daffodils start to bloom. This will encourage good root development and healthy plants, Bell said. Betty Ayscue presented the New Bud Award to Bell, who was recognized as the most active new member for the 2008-2009 year. She was presented with a beautiful bud vase to keep and use for a year. Ayscue established the award for the club. The hostess gift was won by Virginia Norwood. A hummingbird feeder was presented to her by Hester. To conclude the meeting, members read the club’s constitution and bylaws. This is done annually to acquaint new members Betty Ayscue (left) presents the New Bud Award to Dorothy Bell (right) at the Woodland Garand remind all members of den Club meeting in September. the established procedures for the club. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned by Polak.

VGCC Class Schedule (main “Let’s Have a Tea Party” classes

Cute kid donates cuddly critters Annie Duke, 7, collected stuffed bears and donated them to the Henderson Police Department recently to be given to children who are victims of abuse and crime. Lt. Irvin Robinson is shown accepting the bears from Duke.

Vance-Granville Community College will again offer its “Let’s Have A Tea Party” classes beginning Oct. 6. The classes will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and conclude with an actual tea party at a tea room on Oct. 20, which is the “final exam” where students learn to set up a proper English-style tea. All graduates of the class are invited to become members of the Old North State Tea Society, said Oxford resident and founder Constance Lue. “The students set up the food and make the tea,” said Lue. The teas include black, white, green, Oolongs and herbal. They also learn about tea etiquette and are given a book with recipes and the history of tea 5000 years ago! Lue, who calls herself the “Southern Tea Lady,” has been fascinated with formal teas since she was a teenager. She studied in London under tea expert Jane Pettigrew of the United Kingdom’s Tea Council. She has studied

in the United States at the World Tea Expo and has taught since 2001. She also has shared teas with her children, friends and students. The cost of the course is $55 plus a $1 campus access fee. For more information, call Gabrielle Norfleet at 738-3275.

Focus on African dance and culture A new Vance-Granville Community College course gives area residents the chance to learn about the culture of Africa and enjoy some physical exercise at the same time. African dance and culture classes will be held on Tuesdays, Sept. 29 through Dec. 1, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on the college’s main campus in Vance County. The instructor, Vernita Terry of the Inez community in Warren County, is well-known in the area for teaching about African dance and culture to high school students and community groups. Terry, also known affectionately as “Nana Vee,” recently returned to the area after

living in Winston-Salem for two years. “I’m glad to be back,” Terry said, “and I’m excited that VGCC is going to make this opportunity available to the community.” Terry said that music and dance would be one focus of the course, which will feature drummer Baaba Felix Greene. Participants will also be introduced to the geography of Africa, as well as African fabric, textiles, musical instruments and food. They will even learn a few words of Swahili. At the end of the course, Terry hopes that participants will be able to perform traditional dances and share what they have learned with their families and community groups. “This is an outcomeoriented class,” Terry said. “I want the outcome to be that students feel confident doing the dances, and they can go back and teach others.” She added that the class serves as an appropriate lead-in to the Kwanzaa holiday in December, which is a celebration of African heritage. The cost of the course is $45. For more information and to register, call Gabrielle Norfleet at 738-3275.

The latest driving title, “Dirt 2,” represents a changing of the guard for the genre. The torch is being passed from driving legends like rally race legend Colin McRae to a new breed of ESPN “X Game” types. On this title, with its jaw-dropping graphics and solid race physics, it works like a charm. The big names are young upstarts like Travis Pastrana and Dave Mirra, who are no strangers to speed. So it’s a good fit. The races are fast and off-road, or at least off intended roads. I played the Xbox 360 version ($60). “Dirt 2” is also available for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. In one of my first races, I went for the “Baja” series and climbed behind the wheel of a Dodge Power Wagon. Puddles of water hid behind patches of tall grass, and it took a few retries to avoid spinning out of control. Eventually I bested a field that included Mirra in the two-lap race, which earned me $66,000 for my career, some new dashboard items and auto accessories.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you took advantage of everything you were offered, your life would be a chaotic mess. However, there is one opportunity you get today that is too juicy to pass up. Say “yes,” and you’ll be amazed at how well things reprioritize. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). With too much stuff around you — especially stuff that you don’t need — it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Clear the clutter at home, and you immediately feel happier. A Scorpio is the ideal helper. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re in a rather introspective mood, but that doesn’t mean you’ll keep your feelings to yourself. You enjoy investigating your inner life through conversation with safe and supportive individuals. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You care about a certain person’s opinion to such a great extent that you may feel uptight around this person. It will be easier to express yourself when you’re alone. Write in a journal to process your feelings. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Powerful emotions give you the stamina to finish a long, intensive job. Tonight, giving makes you stronger. Make an openhearted offer. The other person might not take you up on it, but you’re better for the gesture. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Though you have a long list of personal errands you could be doing, your attention will more likely go to someone who really needs it. You’ll get to your own stuff soon enough. This is important. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Why reserve your best productivity for work? You’ll be feeling fantastically sharp and ready to give loved ones your best. Your mental alacrity and swift wit will also attract quality new people to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). An emotional wound has been healed. It’s been a slow process, but suddenly you realize that you no longer have the pain — a remarkable and full recovery has taken place. Celebrate. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though you enjoy thinking about yourself and what you’re doing with your life, sometimes you’d like to put your ambitions to the side and just be. Success is enjoying where you are now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will actually be more productive when you try to do less. And the best scenario happens when you intend to do nothing at all. So instead of buckling down or shaping up, try hanging out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You benefit from a proactive approach to relationships, especially platonic ones. Take steps that will reinforce your status as a good friend. Remind people you care about them. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to move your body to find a place where you can feel naturally healthy and strong. The spot you are looking for is a mental space. Once you figure out how to slip into it, you can do so any time you want to.

plain terrible.

hard into turns. Where “Dirt 2” leaves the competition behind is in the graphics department. Eye-popping detail and 3-D menus make every twist and turn enjoyable. From the maps and fastfood trash strewn around my touring RV to the loose gravel kicked up on a crusty Croatian outback during a race, I’ve rarely seen better attention to detail in a racing game. The car handling is exceptional throughout all the difficulty modes. There was a great feel I got for the virtual roads, and the learning curve was challenging, but fair. Hats off to the folks at Codemasters Studios for perfecting two very important features in “Dirt 2” — instant restarts and thoroughly enjoyable replays. The restarts are addictive, and they allowed me to improve without watching boring cut scenes while waiting for the green light. Race replays are a feature I usually ignore, but here the fast-forward is slick and I could pause and stop on a dime to study the turn I missed. “Dirt 2” is the best driving title I’ve played in years. Buckle up, it’s a raucous ride. Game is rated “T” for Teen and contains some suggestive themes. Four out of four stars.
