Asian Barbeque Chicken Wrap

orget about that bowl of cold breakfast cereal or the same old sandwich for lunch. It’s time to give those meals a healthy makeover. And tortillas are just the ingredient to put a healthy meal together in minutes.

Elizabeth Somer, registered dietician and nutritionist, has some easy and delicious ideas for wrapping up healthier meals every day.

Sunrise Breakfast Burrito

California Style Quesadillas

WEDNESDAY, September 16, 2009 �

“The most important thing you can do to boost your nutrition is to double your current intake of vegetables,” says Somer. Sneak them into your favorite foods — add baby spinach to a veggie or bean wrap made with whole wheat tortillas; add green peas and carrots to canned soups; or include a salad in at least one meal every day.

�

To ensure strong bones throughout life, make sure to get at least three servings of calcium and vitamin Drich foods each day. Nonfat milk is an obvious source, but there are other ways to get calcium, too. “For example,” says Somer, “you get the calcium equivalent of a glass of milk in every Mission Life Balance tortilla. Or, drink calcium and vitamin D-fortified orange juice.”

�

To keep carbs under control, skip the sandwich and whip up an Asian Barbeque Chicken Wrap. This recipe uses tortillas with as few as five net grams of carbs, depending on the size.

�

The omega-3 fat DHA found in fatty fish, such as salmon, lowers risk for heart disease and possibly numerous other disorders, from dementia and Alzheimer’s to depression. Somer recommends eating two servings a week of salmon. “Or look for foods fortified with the omega-3 fat DHA, such as soymilk with DHA or Mission Heart Healthy tortillas.”

Serves: 4 Prep Time: 3 minutes Cook Time: 1 minute 4 Mission Life Balance Whole Wheat Tortillas warmed 12 eggs, whole Salt to taste (optional) Pepper to taste (optional) Vegetable cooking spray 12 slices fully cooked bacon chopped into bite size pieces 4 tablespoons grated cheddar cheese In a small bowl; whisk eggs with salt and pepper (optional), to evenly combine.

To make 1 burrito: heat non-stick sauté pan over high heat.

Spray pan with vegetable spray; add equivalent of 3 whole eggs to pan. Soft scramble eggs, taking approximately 30 to 45 seconds.

Add 2 tablespoons chopped bacon (equals 3 strips chopped) and 1 tablespoon cheddar cheese to eggs and stir to combine, melting cheese.

Spoon hot egg mixture into center of a warmed tortilla; roll burrito style and serve.

Repeat steps 2 to 5 for remaining 3 tortillas.

Hint: Add red or green pepper and garnish with chopped green onion to add flavor and color.

Bees and pumpkins everywhere

By WILLIAM F. WEST

Henderson’s government will be applying for a $1 million Community Development Block Grant for the Ransom Street project area in the Orange-Breckenridge part of the city.

City Planning Director Erris Dunston on Monday evening told the City Council the funding is being requested for the rehabilitation of several houses, for street and sewer and water infrastructure improvements in the project area and a greenway from the project area to the King’s Daughters Park.

The council on Monday evening conducted the first of two required public hearings, with the second one to be Sept. 28. No one spoke at Monday evening’s hearing and the council, without dissent, approved moving ahead with the process of applying for the grant.

The council on April 13 approved the OrangeBreckenridge Neighbor-

When oil is very hot, add chicken and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on all sides until chicken is done.

Hint: Using fewer sesame seeds is an easy way to cut calories.

Bees worked overtime to the delight of area pumpkin lovers

By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer

Thanks to the 720,000 bees that worked overtime as pollination specialists for nearly two weeks earlier this summer, thousands of pumpkins will go on sale Sept. 19 at Franklin Family Farms on Vicksboro Road.

Thomas and Nicci Franklin hired the bees owned by Bill Craig of Weldon’s Mill to increase pumpkin production in the 2 1/2-acre patch they were cultivating for their grand opening.

There have already been frequent and enthusiastic customers who have left numerous hoof prints in the red clay surrounding the orange snacks.

“The deer have really enjoyed themselves,” Thomas said Thursday during an interview.

The couple plan to give small pumpkins to children in tour groups, and to sell a variety of sizes of the fleshy gourds to families after they all make the hayride trip along a dirt path to the field that is at least 400 yards from their office.

Some of the groups are

expected to be associated with day-care centers, preschool classes, elementary schools and churches.

Until Nov. 7, operating hours will be: • 9 a.m. until dark on Sept. 19, as well as every Friday and Saturday.

• 12:30 p.m. until dark on Sundays.

• Only scheduled field tours on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays.

• Closed on Mondays.

General admission will be $5 per child and $1 for each adult.

The sale price for pumpkins will be based on weight, which will be tallied after the merchandise is placed on scales on the spot.

Also buyable will be bundles of five corn stalks that have been tied together for use as fall decorations. They will have been harvested from a 3/12-acre maze that kids of all ages will be able to explore without getting too lost.

You can purchase hay bales that are roughly four-foot by two-foot. In addition, a hay mountain as high as six feet will be available for climbing.

“It will have tunnels

and will be like a little fort for kids to run around in,” Thomas said.

When it came to talking about how so many pumpkins sprouted on the vines, Thomas had nothing but praise for the bees.

He said they numbered about 80,000 in each of the nine hives that were brought to the field close to the end of July.

“After a couple of days, we started to see pumpkins forming inside the vines before they started protruding,” Thomas explained.

“All of a sudden, they were everywhere, both bees and pumpkins.”

Nicci and Thomas, who have been married 2 1/2 years, said their families have given them a lot of help and support in developing the enterprise.

They both described the pumpkin sale as a special event that children and parents can participate in together.

“It gives families something to do,” she added.

Getting ready for it has been “both challenging and rewarding,” Thomas said.

A Clark Street resident expressed concern about bloodshed in the eastern part of Henderson and additionally suggested video monitoring of the area to prevent loitering.

Lisa Chandler, the lone citizen to address the City Council on Monday evening, referred to violence at the corner of Andrews Avenue and Clark Street and said, “There really needs to be something done with these guys.”

“I don’t know whether they’re in gangs. I just don’t know, but they are hanging out loud and doing all sorts of violent acts,” Chandler told the council.

Glenn Greene, 27, is being held without bond on a charge of first-degree murder in connection with the Sunday fatal shooting of Carl Hart, 29. Officers responded to the 500 block of Water Street and found Hart, who was pronounced dead at Maria Parham Medical Center.

According to Chandler, among violent acts in the past, a young lady’s throat was slashed, a man was beaten with a baseball bat and a man was robbed.

“I just don’t know what to do,” Chandler told the council.

Chandler recommended the city invest in some type of a camera system or hold neighborhood variety stores “accountable for these guys hanging around.”

“They don’t say anything. They don’t care, it appears,” Chandler said.

Mayor Pete O’Geary turned the matter over to City Manager Ray Griffin, who said he will speak with Police Chief Keith Sidwell.

Councilwoman Mary Emma Evans, referring to the council on May 11 having passed a revised ordinance against loitering, asked O’Geary, “Who is to report when there are numbers of people hanging around? Is the store responsible for that or is it police patrol?”

“It’s a police matter, primarily,” City Attorney John Zollicoffer said.

Evans told Chandler, “This is a big concern of the residents” and added, “It seems like to me that murder is in the air in Henderson and something has to be done about it.”

Evans wanted to know whether the council’s Public Safety Committee is active.

“It has not met in the past year,” said Griffin, whom the council appointed as manager in late July 2008. “I don’t know when it last met.”

City mulls naming voting alternates Planning Board substitutes would vote for absentees

By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

City Councilman Michael Rainey asked Henderson’s municipal administration to consider allowing the appointment of alternates to the Planning Board to be able to vote on rezoning matters in the city when city appointed members cannot attend meetings.

Rainey, who doubles as Planning Board chairman, made the request at Monday evening’s council meeting after he chaired a Planning Board meeting earlier in the afternoon in which there was a lack of a quorum of city appointed members.

Rainey additionally

wanted to have the municipal administration look into allowing Planning Board members representing the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) to vote on rezoning matters in the city because they hear the same details as those representing the city.

Extraterritorial jurisdiction allows unincorporated areas of Vance County bordering Henderson to be brought under municipal development standards.

City Attorney John Zollicoffer said ETJ representatives cannot vote on city rezoning matters unless there is a change in the municipal charter or the state law.

Zollicoffer did point out that the city can appoint two alternates to the Planning Board and, like alternates for the Zoning Board of Adjustment, Please see CITY, page 3A

Pregnant women are no doubt aware that their bodies change shape in several ways. The reason that some pregnant women find their contact lenses to be suddenly ill-fitting is that their corneas are changing shape. This can create problems for pregnant women who wear contact lenses, about 25 percent of whom may develop “contact-lens intolerance.” This problem, which is probably related to hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy, typically begins at the start of the second trimester and can last until 6 to 8 weeks after delivery. Fortunately, the problem is temporary, with eyes returning to normal after the baby is born or after the cessation of breastfeeding. In the meantime, the wearing of eyeglasses is advised.

With the not only esthetic but also functional and sometimes therapeutic purpose, adaptation of contact lenses is today an important part of medical ophthalmology and due to its importance it should be performed not only by physicians, but by specialists in ophthalmology. Whenever you need the services of an ophthalmologist, whether for prevention or treatment, come see us at 451 Ruin Creek Road, Henderson Professional Plaza, Suite 204. At FOUR COUNTY EYE ASSOCIATES, we stress preventive eye health care for the entire family.

Please call 492-8021 to schedule an appointment. We’re currently accepting new patients.

P.S. Use of birth control pills can be responsible for contact lens intolerance.

the 2005-07 council.

And the previous council was known as a committeedriven panel.

Evans, in response to Chandler’s remarks on Monday evening, suggested a meeting of the Public Safety Committee.

Councilman Michael Rainey asked whether a citizen with no connection to store property could call in concerns about loitering.

CHAPEL HILL (AP) — University of North Carolina system President Erskine Bowles says a new cancer hospital will provide citizens statewide the most innovative treatments in the nation.

Bowles and other university and state leaders spoke at Tuesday’s dedication of the North Carolina Cancer Hospital on the UNC campus in Chapel Hill.

The 315,000 square-foot hospital replaces an aging

building originally used as a tuberculosis sanitarium. The General Assembly authorized $180 million in debt for the project in 2004. It took four years to build before the first patients arrived a few weeks ago.

Gov. Beverly Perdue also attended, wearing red in honor of Kay Yow, the North Carolina State University women’s basketball coach who died earlier this year after a long fight against breast cancer.

to serve.

Rainey said the Planning Board on Monday afternoon barely missed having a sufficient number of city appointed members to vote, with the requirement being three and onethirds members.

Rainey said that the absences were called in before the Planning Board meeting, but that the bottom line is the panel could not do business and that when people come to voice their opinions, “It’s not fair to them to say, ‘Oh, I’m sorry, we can’t hear you today because we ain’t got a quorum.’”

Rainey at the Planning Board meeting did allow anyone who wished to speak the chance to do so.

And Zollicoffer on Monday evening told the council, “I think we need to seek out people that genuinely are interested in serving on these boards.

That gives them the incentive, maybe, to attend.”

The subject of attendance came up Monday evening when the council had to fill two positions.

One was for the Henderson-Vance County Recreation and Parks Commission.

The council appointed Zachary Lee Ayscue to replace Glenn Powers, who had been the commission’s vice chairman, but who did not seek reappointment to the commission.

Ayscue will serve a three-year term. Randy Oxendine is serving as the commission’s vice chairman.

The other was to the Henderson Community Appearance Commission.

The council appointed Lucille Quinitchette Williams to replace Katrina Boone, who in March 2008 cited work restraints in being unable to continue serving.

Williams will serve a three-year term. Councilwoman Mary Emma Evans refrained from voting for Williams because she is related to Williams.

The council will need to fill another position on the appearance panel.

And Zollicoffer said while he does not know whether a citizen could ask someone to disperse from someone else’s property, the citizen could certainly call the police.

Griffin said that, under the revised ordinance, “If a property owner, a store owner will post ‘No loitering’ signs on the property, then the police can take appropriate action if they feel there is inappropriate

activity going on without having to ask the property owner.

“In the absence of that voluntary signing, then it’s more of the old way of where there would have to be a complaint from the property owner or they saw some overt actions occurring on the site,” Griffin said.

out “just cause” will be considered to have handed in his or her resignation.

And the council has the authority to appoint a successor.

And the wording states “just cause” is defined as failing to attend without a reasonable excuse or a reasonable explanation to the board’s or to the commission’s chairman or chairwoman, to the municipal department head under which the board or the commission operates or to Griffin.

The issue surfaced at a late October council session, when Rainey stated his concerns about lack of participation after City Clerk Pam Glover informed the council of plans to advertise for vacancies on boards and commissions.

Griffin on Monday evening said his office will review attendance because the council may want to consider replacing those who do not show up for the meetings of the boards or commissions on which they are appointed

those substitutes could sit in the audience and be ready to participate in the meeting if needed.

“We certainly ought to have two alternates appointed,” Zollicoffer said.

Rainey said that the Planning Board had to put four items on hold Monday afternoon and that there will have to be a special meeting for voting on recommending those four items for council approval.

City Manager Ray Griffin said he would look into Rainey’s request and bring something back for discussion at a council work session.

At the same time, Griffin noted the council in early December agreed to amend the city ordinance to change the attendance requirements in response to Henderson board and commission members who failed to participate.

The policy specifies any board or any commission member who misses three consecutive regular sessions or at least one-half of the panel’s regular sessions in a fiscal year with-

The city has already received $250,000 from the state to acquire property for the redevelopment.

New Jersey corrections officer Joseph Nicholas gets his dog, Troy, to drop a cell phone that he found Tuesday after it was hidden in a field for a demonstration at Albert C. Wagner Youth Correctional Facility in Bordentown, N.J. Earlier Tuesday Attorney General Anne Milgram announced that the dogs are one plan to stop the illicit use of cell phones in state prisons.

Dogs sniffing out inmates’ illegal cell phones in N.J.

By BETH DeFALCO Associated Press Writer

BORDENTOWN, N.J. (AP) — As Congress considers whether to allow state prisons to install cell phone jamming devices, New Jersey is grappling with ways to stop inmates from running criminal enterprises from behind bars.

On Tuesday, state Attorney General Anne Milgram announced charges against 35 inmates indicted for cell phone possession, a crime that carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $15,000 fine.

The problem is so bad, in once instance law enforcement officers were able to intercept a conference call among gang members.

GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) — Police say a 15-year-old Texas boy stabbed his mother in the back with a 6-inch kitchen knife while pretending to hug her after an argument.

Police arrested the teen Tuesday in the Dallas-Fort Worth suburb of Grapevine about three hours after his mother called police.

Authorities say the woman was treated at a Dallas hospital for a nonlife-threatening wound.

specially trained dogs to sniff out the phones.

New Jersey prison officials also have stepped up use of noninvasive scanner chairs to search inmates returning from work details. The state has taken other measures — such as removing vending machine from visitor areas so family members can’t pass the phones in snack packs — to stop inmate access to the devices.

Still, around 400 cell phones have been confiscated during the past year, along with 126 chargers and nine cell phone batteries. Last week alone, officers found two phones, three chargers and a wireless Bluetooth device.

Phones have been found in light fixtures, Bibles and body cavities. Some inmates have tried unsuccessfully to conceal them in peanut butter jars to fool the dogs.

Of the 35 inmates indicted on Friday, 25 are reputed gang members, she said.

Under current law, the FCC can only allow federal agencies — not state or local authorities — to jam cell phone signals. Phone industry representatives object, saying that jamming signals could interfere with legitimate service and emergency calls.

The legislation in Congress would change the law to allow states to use the jammers, and a vote in the U.S. Senate could come this fall.

But states aren’t waiting.

Many have started testing electronic cell phone detection technology and several, like Virginia and New Jersey, have started to use

GHS ranked among hospitals on Community Value Index OXFORD — Granville Health System (GHS) was recently named to the Community Value Index Five-Star hospitals list, the hospital announced.

The Community Value Index (CVI) ranking measures the financial value hospitals bring to their service areas and places GHS within the top 20 percent of hospitals in the United States in providing financial value to the communities they serve.

CVI contains three core areas of evaluation: financial viability and plant reinvestment, cost structure, and charge structure. Measurement in these areas suggests that hospitals operating with a high degree of community value are those that have low costs, low charges, and use financial resources efficiently for reinvesting back into the provision of health care at the facility. Each area contains metrics that compare a hospital’s performance to an appropriate peer group. The combined performance in

each area is the Community Value Index score.

Reinvesting back into the community has been a focus of the health system as it moves forward with the $21 million GHS Expansion Plan.

“Our Board of Trustees has positioned us well,” said L. Lee Isley, GHS Chief Executive Officer. “By reinvesting in our community, through the expansion plan, we are ensuring that Granville Health System continues to deliver the highest quality care and customer service to our residents, where they work and live.”

According to the study, Five-Star hospitals are financially viable and a valuable community asset. Hospitals must also reinvest back into the facility to provide for current and emerging health needs in the community. Appropriately combining these concepts enhances a hospital’s value to the community.

Also, Five-Star hospitals keep costs low to allow for lower costs for area residents and third-party payers. Last, Five-Star hospitals strive for pricing that is reasonable and competitive with peer facilities.

N.C. Attorney General, banking push anti-foreclosure campaign RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina officials on Tuesday expanded a foreclosure prevention program to all homeowners, seeking to prevent recession-stretched borrowers from losing their homes.

The state banking commission said it is expanding free financial counseling to all mortgage-holders in hopes it will hold down the rising number of foreclosures as more borrowers lose their jobs and are unable to repay lenders.

The expansion is also seen as undercutting scammers who promise to obtain loan modifications for struggling homeowners in exchange for an upfront fee. It is illegal under state law to charge an upfront fee for foreclosure assistance.

“It’s in all of our interest to avoid unnecessary fore-

closures, and to fight back against foreclosures scams that prey on struggling homeowners,” Attorney General Roy Cooper said.

North Carolina’s foreclosure rate is up 7 percent this year and almost six out of 10 cases are hitting middle-class families that previously had good credit, the banking commission said.

The Center for Responsible Lending said more than 2 million North Carolina homeowners will see their property values decline over the next three years because of foreclosures in their neighborhood. Foreclosures also hurt bankers, who lose about 40 percent of the loan value.

The banking commission last November kicked off its Home Foreclosure Prevention Project to help subprime homeowners by

knitting together financial counselors, lawyers and nonprofit organizations.

The program has helped prevent almost 2,000 foreclosures and advised more than 5,700 homeowners, the banking commission said.

All told, that has saved lenders and neighboring property owners about $160 million in potential losses.

Public service advertisements describing the free foreclosure-prevention counseling were to begin airing through the end of the year. The ads are funded by the State Employees Credit Union, the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, and the state Realtors association.

Brother of slain teenager accused of rape

By CAROLYN THOMPSON and MITCH WEISS Associated Press Writer

CHARLOTTE — An adoptive relative of a slain pregnant teen was accused of raping her, and police said Tuesday they were also investigating him in her shooting death at a school bus stop.

Authorities said they were also looking into whether Royce Mitchell, 36, was the father of Tiffany Wright’s baby.

Tiffany was gunned down Monday morning in a shooting police said stemmed from a domestic dispute, but they have not elaborated.

Her baby was delivered at a hospital.

Mitchell was a person of interest in her killing, said Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police spokesman Bob Fey. Mitchell turned himself in Monday on an outstanding warrant charging him with statutory rape and taking indecent liberties with Wright, a minor.

Police were investigating the rape allegation before Tiffany’s death, but did not bring charges until after her death.

Mitchell, a street maintenance worker for the city, was being held in the Mecklenburg County Jail without bond and will likely get an attorney after an initial court hearing.

Tiffany, who was eight months pregnant, was a junior at Hawthorne High School. She was shot once in the head while she waited at a stop in north Charlotte.

Wright’s baby was in critical condition Monday, but a hospital spokeswoman refused to give an update a day later.

Tiffany’s grandmother said she was in the process of trying to adopt her granddaughter.

“You can’t imagine the pain my family is going through,” said Shirley Boston of Cheektowaga, N.Y., a Buffalo suburb. “Tiffany wanted to leave so badly.

She wanted to live with me.

She went through so much in her life. And then this?

It’s so wrong. How could someone do this to her?”

Boston said Tiffany was born in Buffalo, placed in foster care soon after her birth and later adopted.

The family lost track of her, but eventually she turned up in Kings Moun-

tain, N.C., and was raised there by the foster mother who adopted her, Alma Faye Wright.

Tiffany’s uncle, Israel Robbs, 83, of Eden, N.C., said that after his sister died, Tiffany moved in with Mitchell in his Charlotte home. Mitchell was Wright’s son.

“That’s what she wanted.

She thought he would take good care of her,” Robbs said.

Tiffany lived with Mitchell in Charlotte for about three weeks before she was placed in foster care. Robbs said the family was surprised that Mitchell might be a suspect in Tiffany’s death.

“He’s had some trouble in the past. That’s not a secret.

But he wouldn’t hurt her,” he said.

In a cruel twist, in the late 1990s Tiffany’s biological mother called and told Boston that Tiffany was dead, but didn’t disclose any details, Boston said. Confused, she made some calls and tracked her to North Carolina.

“It was a great reunion.

We talked and I told her everything would be OK,” she said.

Boston left Tiffany with a cell phone and $50 before heading back to Buffalo. She also told her granddaughter that she would try to get custody of her. Boston said she wanted Tiffany and her baby to come to Buffalo to live with her.

It was Tiffany’s biological mother who called Monday and again said Tiffany was dead. This time, Boston didn’t believe her until another relative confirmed it.

Now that Tiffany’s dead, Boston wants custody of the baby.

“This is something I have to do. No matter what it takes,” said Boston, who is flying to Charlotte today.

Britany Page, a relative of Tiffany’s, said they had become close over the last year.

“She kept telling me all she wanted to do was be happy. That’s all. She had bounced around so much and felt unloved. She was looking forward to having the baby.” She paused for a moment to collect her thoughts. “She was tired of staying there (in Charlotte.)

She told me she wanted to emancipate herself. Now we’re going to bury her. It’s just too sad.”

News Briefs N.C. professor forecasts state’s economy CHARLOTTE (AP) — A prominent North Carolina economist says the recession is turning up this fall, but the employment picture won’t improve until sometime next year.

UNC Charlotte economics professor John Connaughton on Tuesday predicted that unemployment will reach 11.2 percent by the end of this year.

The jobless rate has been hovering around 11 percent for the past three months. Unemployment figures for August are to be released Friday.

Connaughton said North Carolina’s economy is probably already growing again, but most people won’t recognize the weak recovery. Connaughton said consumer confidence and spending is rising but still at very low levels, interest rates are low and the federal stimulus package is beginning to be felt.

Perdue: I’m trying to begin last leg of I-485 CHARLOTTE (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue says she’s still trying to begin construction soon on the last leg of the outer loop around North Carolina’s largest city.

The Charlotte Observer reported Tuesday that Perdue said during a visit to Charlotte she’s working with local leaders to keep moving forward on Interstate 485.

Perdue pledged in February to start construction on the last section of I-485 by year’s end. The state floated a plan to shift money away from another area project to do so, but some officials don’t like that idea.

Perdue’s time in Charlotte on Monday included visiting a church cafeteria with community leaders and a bakery to talk with the small business owners.

She also visited a driver’s license office.

N.C.-based Merge Records celebrates 20th anniversary DURHAM (AP) — An independent record label that began in a rented home in Piedmont North Carolina is celebrating its 20th anniversary.

The founders of Merge Records, Mac McCaughan and Laura Ballance, will promote a new book about the company. They will speak Thursday at the Bull’s Head Bookshop in Chapel Hill and at Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh.

Chapel Hill-based Algonquin Books has published a book about Durham-based Merge titled “Our Noise: The Story of Merge Records, the Indie Label that Got Big and Stayed Small.”

McCaughan and Ballance began Merge Records in 1989 and their group, Superchunk, was one of Merge’s first bands.

Among its bands are Spoon, M. Ward, Arcade Fire, Neutral Milk Hotel and She & Him.

N.C.’s AG backs fight against Navy landing field RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s Justice Department has promised its support in resisting the U.S. Navy’s quest to build a landing field in the northeastern part of the state.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday that the state Attorney General’s office promised its help to U.S. Rep. Walter Jones.

The Republican congressman is helping local efforts to fight the Navy, which is scouting sites in Camden and Gates counties for a practice landing field for pilots from Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach.

The Attorney General’s Office says it’s prepared to enforce laws letting the state retain some jurisdiction over land seized for the landing field. That would allow the counties to enforce noise ordinances.

N.C. doctor faces murder charge for fatal wreck RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina doctor has been charged with seconddegree murder after police say he caused a wreck that killed a 20-year-old ballerina.

Multiple media outlets reported Tuesday that Raymond Dwight Cook of Raleigh surrendered his medical license before appearing in a Wake County courtroom for a hearing in connection with death of Elena Bright Shapiro.

Cook’s vehicle struck the back of Shapiro’s car Friday night after he was traveling 85 miles per hour in a 45 zone. The ballerina trainee from Winston-Salem later died of her injuries.

Cook’s bond was set at $250,000 on Tuesday.

He has agreed to enter a substance abuse treatment program.

A message left for Cook’s attorney was not immediately returned Tuesday.

Rep. Jim Gulley won’t seek an 8th term in 2010 RALEIGH (AP) — State Rep. Jim Gulley won’t run for an eighth term in the North Carolina House of Representatives next year.

The 70-year-old Republican from Mecklenburg County said Tuesday it was time for him to spend more time with his grandchildren. Gulley has been serving while being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

Gulley joined the Legislature in 1997 and has been interested in law enforcement and education issues, including charter schools.

Gulley was one of three Republicans to vote for Democrat Jim Black for speaker in 1999, helping Black win by just one vote.

Black and Gulley were longtime friends.

He also spoke in support of a 2007 bill that would permit research on embryonic stem cells that would otherwise be discarded, even as most conservatives opposed the idea.

N.C. court again tackles governor’s budget powers Easley wrong to transfer road funds for other uses

By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

budget statute for one purpose and transferred by the Governor to another does not fulfill the executive’s duty to administer the budget enacted by the Legislature, nor does it assure that the laws are faithfully executed,” Hunter wrote. Judge Barbara Jackson joined with Hunter in the 2-1 opinion.

Easley and current Gov. Beverly Perdue — who also has withheld money and cut down on expenses to deal with even worse fiscal troubles — have said the constitution gives the state’s chief executive broad powers to scour state government to find money to close a shortfall.

The state constitution says the governor “shall effect the necessary economies in state expenditures” to “insure that the State does not incur a deficit for any fiscal period.”

In the dissenting opinion, Judge Linda McGee said Hunter’s interpretation of the state constitution would hamstring governors from acting quickly to plug a deficit.

“The restrictions on executive action as mandated by the majority are inefficient, impractical, and likely to thwart the governor in the governor’s constitutional duty to prevent a deficit,” McGee wrote.

The divided court means the state Supreme Court must hear the case if the state appeals the ruling.

The office of Attorney General Roy Cooper is reviewing the ruling and will consult with Perdue’s office before deciding its next move, spokeswoman Noelle Talley said.

The three judges agreed to uphold a portion of John’s ruling that the Legislature had the authority to take another $125 million from the Highway

RALEIGH — North Carolina courts weighed in again Tuesday on how far a governor can go to balance the state’s budget, this time ruling then-Gov. Mike Easley was wrong to transfer $80 million from a road-building fund to pay for other government operations.

In a split decision, a three-judge panel of the state Court of Appeals ruled the state constitution doesn’t allow a governor to transfer money appropriated by the General Assembly for one purpose and use it for another purpose without legislative approval.

Easley transferred the money from the Highway Trust to the state’s general fund with a February N.C. judge 2002 executive order to sustains Lexington help close a shortfall in that year’s budget that licensing deal ultimately reached $1.6 billion.

Trust Fund to balance the 2002-03 budget.

The Highway Trust Fund is primarily used to build urban loops, widen four-lane highways and improve secondary roads.

The fund generates revenue largely through a 3 percent use tax on vehicle sales, a gasoline tax and title fees.

The case already has wound its way through the court system once on a procedural question.

The state Supreme Court agreed in 2006 that Transportation Secretary Jim Harrington and ex-Sen. Bill Goldston, who helped created the fund in 1989, had the legal standing to sue as taxpayers.

An attorney for Goldston and Harrington said he would comment on the case later Tuesday.

State courts have heard two similar cases involving how Easley managed the budget crisis earlier this decade — decisions that will affect the options Perdue and future governors have to plug spending holes.

In 2005, the state Court of Appeals unanimously upheld Easley’s decision to withhold $210 million in expected tax reimbursements to local governments to balance the budget.

But another three-judge panel last year ruled it was wrong for Easley to intercept $225 million headed to state employee pension funds because the state and federal constitutions protect them.

Daily Meditation A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.

Ecclesiastes 7:1

Our Opinion

Jail the felons, not their victims Be careful whose home you rob. They might be prepared to defend themselves.

And if you’re prepared to defend your home, with a weapon if necessary, be advised that you might be treated like the suspect.

In the wee hours of Tuesday morning, in Baltimore, a Johns Hopkins University student used, of all things, a samurai sword to kill a burglar in the garage of a home he shares with other students. Only Monday, someone had stolen two laptop computers and a Sony PlayStation from the students’ home. They were likely in no hurry to be victimized again.

The dead burglary suspect — who according to police had a lengthy criminal history and had been released from prison just Saturday — “lunged” at the home’s residents when they investigated the sounds caused by his intrusion. The student with the sword swung it. The burglar’s hand was severed and his upper body slashed. He died at the scene.

Though a police spokesman says the sword is legal in Baltimore and that people have the right to defend “their property and their person,” authorities “are determining whether the student will face criminal charges,” CNN reports.

What is certain is that a samurai sword is hardly the weapon of choice for either criminal intent or home defense. And that clearly prison hadn’t rehabilitated this particular offender. Ever.

The Baltimore Sun, the local newspaper and the source doing by far the most thorough reporting on the matter, has identified the student-swordsman as John Pontolillo, 20, of Wall, N.J. Using an anonymous police source, the paper has identified the dead man as Donald D. Rice, 49, who had a rap sheet of 29 prior offenses. He was arrested in 2006 for this sort of crime and for driving a stolen car, and got only five months in jail. He was arrested in December 2007 for pulling a gun on an officer, but the charges were dropped by prosecutors in July 2008 when the cop was deployed overseas as a military reservist and could no longer attend the hearings. A month later, Rice was arrested for stealing a car, was convicted in December, was sentenced to 18 months in prison, and was already out on the streets in less than a year, returning to his life of crime within hours.

At this writing, John Pontolillo who — not by choice, we’re sure — killed a lifelong criminal who violated his and his housemates’ security, remains in custody.

Maryland should’ve kept Donald Rice jailed instead.

Quotable “It is neither right nor responsible after you’ve recovered with the help of your government to shirk your obligation to the goal of wider recovery, a more stable system, and a more broadly shared prosperity.”

— President Barack Obama, lecturing financial leaders in a stern bid to boost his regulation proposals.

“I have always had a special place in my heart for Patrick. While I was fortunate enough to work with him in three films, it was our passion for horses that forged a friendship between us that I treasure to this day. Not only did we lose a fine actor today, I lost my older ‘Outsiders’ brother.”

— Actor C. Thomas Howell, in a statemnet after the death of actor Patrick Swayze.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

— Martin Luther King Jr. Your blues, author BeBe Moore Campbell famously wrote, ain’t like mine.

I’ve occasionally borrowed that phrase to explain how bigotry as experienced by majority and minority is not the same: the one has access to levers of power enabling it to express its hatred in public policy, the other has access only to fists and words. But there are times that observation is simultaneously true, and irrelevant. This is one of them.

There is, after all, a certain egalitarian outrageousness in what happened to 18-year-old Brian Milligan. Getting hit in the back of the head with a chunk of concrete is getting hit in the back of the head with a chunk of concrete, whether you are Jew or Muslim, gay or straight, black or white.

That’s reportedly what happened to Milligan the night of Aug. 18, after he walked his girlfriend to her home in their gritty Buffalo, N.Y., neighborhood.

Milligan had headphones on, so he didn’t even hear it coming.

A mob of 10 to 12 black males then stomped and kicked him

and hit him with more concrete — all in the head and face, says his father, Brian Sr., 41.

As they struck him, they taunted him. “You white motherf——-, we told you stay away from here.

These are ‘our’ streets.

We told you stay away from our women.”

Brian, Leonard you see, is white. His Pitts girlfriend Distributed by Nicola Cagle Cartoons Fletcher, 18, is AfricanAmerican. That difference in melanin has, they say, been a source of daily friction with a gang of black men in their neighborhood for months. She’s been shot with paintballs, they’ve both been repeatedly cursed and taunted. “They would hit on her right in front of me,” says Milligan. “They would call her ‘baby’ and all that.”

Now there’s this. Brian Sr. says when he got to the hospital, he didn’t even recognize his son.

“I seen a mess; I seen somebody

laying there dead.”

Not quite, but close. Brian Jr. had a gash on his head that required seven staples to close.

He had bleeding and swelling in his brain. His jaw and one tooth were broken. His sense of smell is gone. He has no memory of the beating.

According to media reports, blacks in the neighborhood have been conspicuous in their refusal to cooperate with investigators. While a black anti-crime group has been trying to help bring the criminals to justice, Brian Sr. says other blacks have chosen silence. “I don’t know if it’s that they’re scared or they don’t care. That’s a coin I just don’t want to toss up in the air.”

Nor do I. So let me just say this: Assuming the facts are as we have been told, this demands prosecution as a hate crime. What happened to Brian Milligan is an offense against civil society. We should “all” be outraged.

I loathe bigotry in all its forms, but I have a special problem with bigotry as practiced by those who, by dint of their own history, should know better.

When Jews hate Muslims for their religion, when gays scorn straights for their sexual orien-

tation, when blacks beat a white teenager for the color of his skin, it suggests people too dense to understand the moral of their own story, the meaning of their own passages. The minority is no more righteous in its hate than the majority is.

Brian Sr., an unemployed construction worker facing a mountain of medical bills, is asking for help. A special savings account (No. 483023966528) has been set up for Brian at Bank of America under his mother’s name: Leslie Ann Milligan.

And yes, Brian and Nicola are still together. He credits her with nudging him to get his GED. “She loves me. And I love her. That’s more than anything.

That sums it all up.”

Somebody thought they had a right to tell this kid where he could go and who he could see.

They kicked his head in because he is.

And that’s a sadly familiar song. It is a blues we’ve heard too many times before.

Letters to the Editor Defense of Jones denies radical past To the editor:

Rep. Rangel — sign of the times Editor’s note: Jonah Goldberg is on vacation.

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, is becoming a metaphor for almost all the sins of our age.

Let us count the ways.

How about corruption? Currently, Rangel is under investigation by two House subcommittees for illegally holding four rentstabilized apartments in New York and not disclosing more than $75,000 in income from a rental villa he owns. He also took free Caribbean trips paid for by corporate cronies and used his congressional letterhead to press for money for the City College of New York’s new educational center, which bears his name.

Rangel also acknowledged that he improperly listed his assets, as required by law, and failed to report additional checking accounts valued between $250,000 and $500,000 — princely sums acquired on a congressional salary.

Try also hypocrisy. Rangel is the head of the Ways and Means Committee that writes the nation’s income tax policy. The politician, who for generations has urged higher taxes, has chronically schemed to avoid paying them.

Don’t dare try that if you are a waitress or schoolteacher.

In this regard, Rangel is similar to other Obama cabinet nominees and secretaries like Tom Daschle and Timothy Geithner — advocates of higher taxes, and bigger government — who themselves were in violation of the federal tax code. In this weird new moral landscape, good public intentions apparently offset private lapses.

After the Republican scandals involving lobbyist Jack Abramoff, Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-Calif.), Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) and Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho), new House Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised to “drain the swamp,” to end the Republican “culture of corruption” and to create “the most ethical Congress ever.” Proclaiming ethical reform apparently means you

have already enacted it.

In reality, by her tolerance for the ethically challenged like Rangel, John Murtha (D-Pa.), and others, Speaker Pelosi only reminds Americans that influence peddling and corruption are bipartisan sins: those out of power allege them, those in power commit them.

Rangel’s situation also illustrates the problem of racial scapegoating by the nation’s elite, another example of rampant hypocrisy.

During the health-care meltdown, overwhelmed by his own Victor Davis ethics problems, a frusHanson trated Rangel Tribune Media lashed out at Services supposedly racist Americans: “Some Americans have not gotten over the fact that Obama is president of the United States.

They go to sleep wondering, ‘how did this happen?’”

Actually, they may wonder how it happened that the more successful and powerful you become in America, the more proof there is that the country is racist. Rangel would have us believe that an African-American’s election to the presidency, made possible in large part by millions of white supporters, translates into racist opposition to health-care legislation — or into Charles Rangel being unfairly charged with tax dodging.

Some of the most privileged Americans in the country have lectured us on race. Attorney General Eric Holder, a Columbia Law School grad, accused the country of cowardice for its reluctance to speak about race on his terms.

President and Harvard Law alum Barack Obama asserted that a Cambridge, Mass., police officer acted stupidly in taking his friend, Harvard Professor Skip Gates, down to the station after his invective-riddled hissy fit. New

York Governor David Paterson blames his sinking poll numbers on white racism, more prominent than ever, he thinks, in the age of Obama.

Then there is the case of controversial environmental czar and Yale Law graduate Van Jones claimed a “vicious smear campaign” did him in. Jones, remember, resigned after comparing President Bush to a crack addict, and asserting that white people were polluting the ghetto, and that only white students commit mass murders in the public schools, and, most disturbingly, after signing a “truther” petition calling for an investigation of the Bush administration’s purported role in causing 9/11. There were indeed smears that were racist — but largely on the part of Jones himself.

In all these disturbing trends, one Rep. Charles Rangel seems to be on the cutting edge. And still these political truths remain self-evident: Congressional reform Democrats are as corrupt as Republican reformers. Those who craft tax policy routinely violate it without compunction. Rules don’t apply to those in Washington, who are generous with someone else’s money, but stingy with their own.

The false charge of racism has devolved into a convenient defense when elites find themselves trapped in their own self-created legal and ethical messes, or things don’t go their way.

If we wish to understand why congressional approval ratings are at historic lows, why corruption seems to be more blatant than ever, and why the public is tiring of racial scapegoating by the welloff, then we need look no further than Charles Rangel, emblem of our times.

Victor Davis Hanson is a classicist and historian at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and author, most recently, of “A War Like No Other: How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian War.” You can reach him by emailing author@victorhanson.com.

Re: the article, “BrainDead Mudslingers,” by columnist,Clarence Page, one can only think it ironic that his own title attacks right wing conservatives by calling them “brain-dead.”

He further basically apologized for Van Jones’ “A*H” name-calling of Republicans, as well as his signing a petition that accused President Bush and our own government for the 9/11 attack.

Not only did JOnes “dabble” in radical politics, but was absorbed in the teachings of Marx and Lenin and became a selfavowed communist! Had this man been properly vetted, he would never have gotten past the FBI. Yet, President Obama eagerly sought him to become one of his numerous czars, as well as thirty-some others who likewise have not been vetted. Mind you, these unvetted people are Obama’s closest advisors and are unaccountable to no one except he. Obviously, the traditional President’s Cabinet is now in name only.

President Obama gave the invitation, “If you want to know my policies, look at the people who surround me.” Luckily, Glenn Beck of FOX News accepted his invitation and has learned quite a bit about Obama’s czars, which has angered Clarence Page. Apparently, he hates the messenger more than the message.

What Beck has found is that many of the czars have socialist, Marxist, or communist leanings.

I find it hard to believe that any American, whether Republican, Democrat or Independent, wants our government infiltrated by the enemy. Far too many Americans have given their lives to preserve our freedom against the tyranny of these governments.

God forbid we should lose it from within the White House! We should all be hoping the real intent of these czars is exposed and they’re forced to leave!

What’s even more troubling is their friendship with our president! Something is definitely wrong with this picture.

Just remember to be tactful, discreet and not too personal. Example: Do not ask someone you’ve just met how much he or she paid for something, or whether the person always drinks as much as it appears he or she has that evening.

Be generous with compliments, but be sure they’re sincere. Most people can spot a brown-noser within five minutes.

Stay informed about current events. The more you know about what’s going on in the world, the better company you’ll be. Read the news and editorials and — of course — Dear Abby.These commonsense suggestions and more are contained in my booklet “How to Be Popular.” It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus a check or money order for $6 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby, Popularity Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 610540447. Shipping and handling are included in the price.

But before I finish with this subject, a word of warning: Don’t be a know-it-all.

People who come on like they’re an authority on everything are about as welcome as a skunk at a garden party.

They make those of us who are just average feel insecure and uncomfortable.

And when you talk to someone, look that person in the eye. If you’re constantly looking over his or her shoulder, the person will think you’re looking for other company. This happened to me when I was introduced to a man who was running for office, and needless to say, the man didn’t get my vote.

DEAR ABBY: I am a male in my early 20s and lucky to have several good friends and acquaintances.

I’m invited to gatherings and parties pretty regularly.

I have no problem relating to people I know well. But when I have to converse with people I don’t know — the “friends of friends” — I feel uncomfortable.

It’s not that I am particularly shy. It’s that I stumble and become tongue-tied when I try to talk to someone I don’t know very well. The conversation lags, and I think the other person ends up feeling as uneasy as I do.

In the scheme Dear of things, I realize this Abby is not like Universal Press some of the Syndicate other serious issues I see in your column, but I believe you have mentioned becoming better in social situations before. I don’t want to come across as stuck up or unfriendly, and I’m afraid that’s what might be happening. Can you help?

— DIALOGUE-DEFICIENT IN ST. PAUL DEAR DIALOGUEDEFICIENT: The phrase “seek and ye shall find” is one I heard years ago. It stuck in my memory because it can be applied to so many different things.

It applies in your situation because, believe it or not, when it comes to making conversation, being a good listener will do more for you than being a good talker.

If you want to make a hit with people, show an interest by asking them questions about themselves. People enjoy talking about themselves and what they’re into. Give them a chance, and they’ll think you’re a great conversationalist.

College student kills Police find ‘person of interest’ in Yale killing intruder with sword

By RAY HENRY and SUSAN HAIGH Associated Press Writers

By BEN NUCKOLS Associated Press Writer

BALTIMORE — A Johns Hopkins University student armed with a samurai sword killed a suspected burglar in a garage behind his off-campus home early Tuesday, hours after someone broke in and stole electronics.

Some shocked neighbors said they heard bloodcurdling screams in an area just blocks from the university. Police held the student, a junior chemistry major who turns 21 on Sunday, for several hours, but he was not charged with any crimes Tuesday, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.

Around 1:20 a.m., the student heard noises behind the home and noticed a door to the garage was open, Guglielmi said.

He grabbed the sword and confronted the intruder — identified by police as Donald D. Rice, 49, a habitual offender who had just been released from jail.

Rice was crouching beneath a counter, police said.

The student asked him what he was doing and threatened to call police. “When he said that, the suspect lunged at him, kind of forced the kid against the wall, and he struck him with the sword,� Guglielmi said.

Rice’s left hand was nearly severed — Guglielmi described it as “hanging on by a thread� — and he suffered a severe cut to the upper body.

He died at the scene.

On Monday, two laptops and a Sony PlayStation were stolen from the student’s home, which he shares with three other students, but police were not sure whether Rice was responsible, Guglielmi said.

There was a pool of blood Tuesday morning in the brick courtyard between the back porch of the home and the garage. The courtyard was strewn with debris, including what looked like broken glass.

Guglielmi did not know why the student kept a sword.

He said he may have had some martial arts training, but was not an expert.

Rice’s criminal history includes more than two dozen arrests for burglary, breaking and entering and auto theft.

According to court records, he was charged in 2007 after he pulled a gun on a police officer, though prosecutors placed those charges on hold because the officer was on military leave.

Rice was convicted in 2008 of unauthorized removal of property and sentenced to 18 months. He was released Saturday from the Baltimore County Detention Center.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Police have identified a “person of interest� in the killing of a Yale University graduate student whose body was hidden for days in a wall in a university research building, a Connecticut state official said Tuesday.

The official has firsthand knowledge of the police investigation into the death of 24-year-old Annie Le and would not elaborate on what was meant by “person of interest.� The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing.

A spokesman for New Haven police, who have been extraordinarily tight-lipped during the investigation, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Police said earlier Tuesday that they had ques-

tioned 150 people in connection with the death of Le, who vanished Sept. 8 from a Yale research building. Her body was found Sunday, on what would have been her wedding day, stuffed behind a wall in a basement laboratory. They said they did not expect to make an arrest Tuesday.

State prosecutors also blocked the release of autopsy results in Le’s death on Tuesday. The chief state medical examiner’s office ruled the death a homicide Monday but has yet to say the manner in which Le died.

State’s Attorney Michael Dearington did not return a call seeking comment on why his office requested that the autopsy results be delayed.

Authorities were keeping watch on some of Le’s coworkers and have descended in large numbers this week

on the home of a Yale animal research technician who lives in the Wharfside Commons apartment complex in Middletown.

An official parked outside the complex, about 20 miles away near Hartford, wouldn’t confirm whether police were there to investigate the Le killing, but public records show the technician lives in a first-floor apartment. A man answering the door Tuesday said the technician wasn’t at home and closed the door.

Neighbors said authorities in unmarked cars arrived Monday afternoon and frequently follow and pull over drivers in the complex.

New Haven police would not comment on the efforts there.

Police are analyzing what they call “a large amount� of physical evidence but have not gone into detail.

At a meeting of medical

school students and teachers Monday, Yale president Richard Levin said police have narrowed the number of potential suspects to a very small pool because building security systems recorded who entered the building and what times they entered, the Yale Daily News reported Tuesday.

The appropriate people are being monitored, he said.

Yale spokesman Tom Conroy said he couldn’t confirm the report.

The killing took place in a heavily secured building accessible only to students and university employees.

Police found Le’s body about 5 p.m. Sunday, the day she was to marry Columbia University graduate student Jonathan Widawsky.

Police have said Widawsky is not a suspect and has helped detectives in their investigation.

Despite criticism, Panthers keep faith in Delhomme

By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE — Travel around this city and you’d think Jake Delhomme was not only a turnover machine, but responsible for the double-digit unemployment, the stalled condominium projects downtown and maybe even the relentless humidity.

Radio talk show callers stay on hold for hours to spit venom at the Carolina quarterback.

The Jake-hating message board threads are too numerous to

count. Then there’s the Craigslist posting claiming Delhomme is for sale: “Loyal. Needs a Loving Home.

Serious Offers, Please. Trades Accepted. Contact: (coach) John Fox.” After 11 turnovers in the last 6 1/2 quarters, it seems as if everybody has lost confidence in Delhomme — with one big exception: the Panthers locker room.

Duke says no QB controversy with Lewis, Renfree

KVA volleyball downs Franklin Academy in four

By AARON BEARD AP Sports Writer

DURHAM — Thad Lewis probably knew he’d hear the term “quarterback controversy” this week after the way backup Sean Renfree played in Duke’s win at Army. He just won’t let himself think of it that way.

“I knew going into the season that Sean was going to play,” Lewis said Tuesday. “So there’s not a controversy at all, but it is a competition. We compete, but we make each other better and we want to make this team better.”

That’s what coach David Cutcliffe is aiming for heading into this weekend’s trip to No. 22 Kansas. He has repeatedly heaped praise on Renfree, a redshirt freshman, even as he’s gone out of his way to point out that Lewis is No. 1 on the depth chart.

He’s also made it clear Renfree has earned the right to play each week.

“We’ve got a starting quarterback,” Cutcliffe said. “The circumstances can be just like a pitcher in baseball. If a pitcher needs relief help, he’s going to get relief help. If he can pitch a complete game, he’s usually left in there.

“But you can see now why I’ve been saying all along that, regardless of play, I wanted Sean Renfree to play. I should’ve played him in the first game (against Richmond) and didn’t.

I had plans to play him without a doubt at Army. I have plans to play him again this week. He will play.”

Still, while Lewis is saying all the right things about supporting Renfree, the difference between their play at Army couldn’t have escaped him. Lewis, a four-year starter, went just 5-for-16 for 60 yards before Renfree got his shot. Renfree went 7-for-8 for 106 yards and two touchdowns, with one of those coming on his first collegiate throw. That — and back-to-back interception returns for touchdowns from Leon Wright late in the game — helped the Blue Devils (1-1) turn a 14-13 lead into a 35-19 victory.

“We’ve seen (Renfree) in practice and know what he can do in practice,” running back Re’quan Boyette said. “But to see him out there against live bullets and everything moving faster than it does in practice was very positive.

It just showed us that he can do it throughout the game.”

While Renfree’s play will push Lewis, Cutcliffe said it wasn’t like the senior wasn’t already working hard to get better.

“It’s not been a matter of not being focused or energized or motivated,” Cutcliffe said. “I think it’s probably human nature that when you see your backup playing pretty well, the adrenaline flows. That’s just kind of normal and that’s OK. That’s good for anybody.”

Lewis figures the competition can’t hurt. After all, it’s still his job to lose.

Northern Vance opened up Carolina 3A Conference play with a tough five-set loss at Orange Tuesday (25-19, 21-25, 26-24, 23-25, 15-4).

“That was an excellent team that we played,” Viking coach William Hoyle said, citing strong net play from the tall Panther players.

The Vikings were down 23-24 in the third set before Katie Wilson stepped up to serve. They scored three straight to win it.

Northern plays at conference opponent Chapel Hill Thursday.

Conference play begins Raiders take care of Warriors in three sets

By ERIC S. ROBINSON Dispatch Sports Editor

OXFORD — After a competitive opening set, Southern Vance rode dominant performances from Shauna Terry and Tremanisha Taylor to a threeset win over J.F. Webb to open Carolina 3A Conference play Tuesday night.

The win improves Southern to 6-5 (1-0) on the season. They

evened up their record Monday night with a five-set win over the North Carolina School of Science and Math.

“Last night against Science and Math, I got a glimpse of us pulling it together,” said Southern coach Tracey Turner. “... (the) chemistry was there and they were backing each other, and everybody was in the game, whether they were on the bench or on the floor.”

“It’s a wonderful thing to see them actually pull it together and move on beyond mistakes.

We made them, but we moved on past them.”

After getting down early in the first set 7-3, the Warriors fought to tie it up at 9. Webb took over the lead 12-11, and the teams began to trade points.

Spartan soccer ties 1-1 with Greenfield From STAFF REPORTS

Kerr-Vance coach Rick Frampton said Tuesday’s 1-1 tie was the best his Spartan team has done against Greenfield during his tenure.

The defending 1A champs, Greenfield has had KVA’s number in recent years.

Though both the game’s goals were scored in the first half, Frampton said he felt his team played much better in the second half.

“We just didn’t take shots,” he said. “We had, in my opinion, the better opportunities.”

After the Knights took a 1-0 lead, Dallas Smith tied it up halfway into the first half off a corner kick.

East Carolina’s Patrick Pinkney throws under pressure from West Virginia’s Ovid Goulbourne during Saturday’s game.

GREENVILLE — Skip Holtz isn’t too encouraged

by No. 24 North Carolina’s knack for starting slowly.

Not when his East Carolina team has had even more trouble finishing.

Two games into the season, and the Pirates (1-1) have wasted quick starts in both with stumbling finishes.

Outscored by a combined 31-2 after halftime against Appalachian State and West Virginia, questions have popped up about everything from the execution of the offense to what’s being said in the locker room at halftime.

“We’re not clicking,” Holtz said. “Right now, there’s a

little something missing, whatever that ingredient is.

The first half of both games, I felt pretty pleased with how we played as an offense. ...

Talked (Sunday) as a staff about evaluating what we’re doing at halftime. We’re not doing anything different than we’ve done in the last four years. But for some reason, we just haven’t been able to gel.”

A sweat-it-out victory over Appalachian State and a loss at West Virginia certainly weren’t what many expected from a veteran-laden program. The Pirates entered the year riding the upswing of a Conference USA title, the return of quarterback Patrick Pinkney for a sixth season and plenty of bust-

the-BCS buzz generated by a pair of high-profile upsets in 2008.

But one thing is clear: If the Pirates expect to knock off another nationally ranked team this week in Chapel Hill, they’ll need to put two halves together.

That didn’t happen in the opener, when they led Appalachian State 29-7 before the Mountaineers made it a five-point game and the defense sealed the win with a critical stop. And that definitely didn’t happen last week in Morgantown, W.Va., where the defense allowed two touchdown passes of at least 45 yards while giving up three 80-yard scoring Please see PIRATES, page 3B

Mangini’s role in Favre injury under review

Role reversal helps Wake offense shine

CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns coach Eric Mangini can’t seem to escape from New York.

The NFL is investigating Mangini’s role in the Jets’ failure to list quarterback Brett Favre’s arm problem on injury reports last season. Mangini coached the Jets during Favre’s one season in New York before he was fired after the team collapsed down the stretch.

Last week, Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum admitted the club should have listed Favre, who had a torn biceps tendon, as “probable” on the injury report for the last four or five games. Favre said the Jets knew of the injury, which required offseason surgery.

Spokesman Greg Aiello said Mangini’s actions will be examined as part of the league’s inquiry.

“Since he was head coach of the Jets at the time, we are reviewing his role in the situation as part of the overall review,” Aiello said in an e-mail response to The Associated Press.

Behind six and twothirds innings of one run ball from starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson, the Bulls won Game One of the Governors' Cup Finals, 4-1 over Scranton Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday night at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

Hellickson kept the Yankees scoreless until the seventh inning when he gave up a home run

to former Bull John Rodriguez before getting pulled. Hellickson ended the night allowing five hits, including the homer, a walk and six strikeouts to pick up the win.

Durham took the lead in the first inning after Sean Rodriguez singled up the middle, scoring Henry Mateo from third.

The Bulls added three more runs in the sixth inning which was started off with Henry Mateo

reaching third after a bunt single and two Scranton errors. The next batter, Joe Dillon, singled to right scoring Mateo.

WINSTON-SALEM — Wake Forest’s two leading rushers are wide receivers.

The winning touchdown last week was set up by a long pass to a player who entered the preseason as a backup running back.

The Demon Deacons’ offense has turned backwards to move forward.

“It’s given us a little bit of a different dimension,” coach Jim Grobe said Tuesday. “We’re not always having to hand the ball to the tailback or always having to throw to the split end.”

That role-reversing recipe has worked well in recent years, helping Wake Forest (1-1) rise from the Atlantic Coast Conference cellar and establish itself as a consistent bowl team.

These days, it appears to be clicking again. Devon Brown averages a teambest 46 yards rushing per game while fellow receiver Chris Givens is averaging nearly 40. Both have found a groove taking a steady stream of sweeps and endarounds — just as Carolina Panthers receiver Kenneth Moore did for Wake Forest in 2006 and ’07.

Givens, a redshirt freshman, seems to be a particularly natural fit in the Demon Deacons’ misdirection system. The former Texas high school running back said he was impressed by the way Moore became the focal point of Wake Forest’s offense two years ago both

“I love how they use the slot in this offense,” he said.

“The more dimensions of our offense we have, the better.”

Brown played a supporting role last season, carrying five times for seven yards before emerging as a serious threat this season. Both he and Givens did their best Moore impressions in last week’s win against Stanford: Givens averaged better than 10 yards on five carries with a 17-yard carry while Brown finished with 47 yards on eight carries, taking one of them 19 yards.

But the biggest play of

secondary and caught the 44-yard pass that set up Riley Skinner’s game-clinching quarterback sneak.

Jackson came to preseason camp as the fourth-string running back.

The Demon Deacons certainly could have used those kinds of contributions last season.

When Moore graduated, the team struggled to replace his versatility.

D.J. Boldin was more of a prototypical pass-catching receiver than a factor in the run game, netting just 80 yards rushing for the season while his 81 receptions marked the second-most in school history.

Consequently, Wake Forest — annually one of the ACC’s top rushing teams — slid to ninth in the league on the ground, averaging 121 yards.

LaRoche went 4 for 4, including solo homers in the second and the sixth, giving him 25 this season — 12 since he was acquired from Boston on July 31. He had an RBI double in the fourth, and a leadoff double in the eighth. LaRoche became the first Braves player to have four extra-base hits in a game since doing it himself during his first stint with the team, on Aug. 30, 2006.

Hanson (10-3) allowed three hits and struck out eight.

Nate McLouth’s tworun double off Pat Misch

(1-3) finished off a threerun fourth that gave the Braves a 4-0 lead.

Phillies 5, Nationals 0 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cliff Lee threw a six-hitter, Carlos Ruiz hit a three-run double and Philadelphia beat Washington 5-0 on Tuesday night.

The NL East leaders have won six of eight and reduced their magic number for clinching their third consecutive division title to 12 with 19 games remaining.

Lee (7-2) struck out nine and walked three to record his second shutout and sixth complete game this season. He was 1-2 with a 9.60 ERA in his previous three starts after giving up three earned runs in his first five with Philadelphia.

Reds 5, Astros 4 CINCINNATI (AP) —

Paul Janish drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning with his third double to lead Cincinnati.

Houston reliever Sammy Gervachio (1-1) opened the seventh by hitting Corky Miller. After a sacrifice and a strikeout, Janish lined a double to right-center to help send the Astros to their third consecutive loss.

Daniel Ray Herrera (4-4) struck out Michael Bourn, the only batter he faced, to end the seventh and earn the win.

Marlins 2, Cardinals 1 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rookie Sean West had a season-high nine strikeouts to outpitch 18-game winner Adam Wainwright and Dan Uggla’s two-run homer in the sixth was the go-ahead hit in the Florida Marlins’ 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.

Wainwright (18-8) allowed two runs in seven innings and struck out eight, not quite good enough to make him the major leagues’ first 19-game winner. He had been 6-0 with a 1.99 ERA in seven starts since Aug. 8.

Cubs 13, Brewers 7 CHICAGO (AP) — Geovany Soto hit homered and drove in three runs, and the Chicago Cubs took advantage of 12 walks to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 13-7 on Tuesday night.

Derrek Lee hit a tworun double and drove in three runs and Mike Fontenot had an RBI single and scored twice for the Cubs, who have won seven of eight.

In addition to issuing 12 walks, five Brewers pitchers combined to hit three batters, two with the bases loaded.

AL Roundup

Dice-K returns with win; Orioles double-up Rays Red Sox 4, Angels 1 BOSTON (AP) — Daisuke Matsuzaka returned from a three-month stint on the disabled list and pitched six shutout innings Tuesday night to lead Boston to a 4-1 victory over Los Angeles Angels.

David Ortiz hit his record-breaking 270th homer as a designated hitter and added an RBI single after Boston broke a scoreless tie in the sixth thanks to a throwing error

by John Lackey (10-8).

The Red Sox have won six straight.

Jonathan Papelbon pitched the ninth and gave up an RBI double to Erick Aybar before Howie Kendrick hit a soft roller to third to end the game.

Blue Jays 10, Yankees 4 NEW YORK (AP) — New York catcher Jorge Posada and Toronto reliever Jesse Carlson got into a fight near home

plate, leading to a frenzied, bench-clearing brawl during the Blue Jays’ victory.

Toronto’s Edwin Encarnacion and All-Star second baseman Aaron Hill were hit by pitches before Carlson threw behind Posada in the eighth.

The benches and bullpens emptied, though the teams never got close to each other and order was quickly restored.

Royals 11, Tigers 1 DETROIT (AP) — Alberto Callaspo, David DeJesus and Miguel Olivo all hit three-run homers for Kansas City.

The last-place Royals have beaten the AL Central-leading Tigers five straight times, four in the last eight days.

Robinson Tejada (3-1) beat the Tigers for the second time in less than a week, allowing one run and two hits in five innings.

Orioles 10, Rays 5 BALTIMORE (AP) — Rookie Matt Wieters homered and had a career-high five RBIs, and Luke Scott also connected for Baltimore, which rallied from a five-run deficit.

Brian Roberts and Cesar Izturis had three hits apiece for the Orioles, who trailed 5-0 in the third before scoring six runs over a three-inning stretch against Jeff Niemann (126), who allowed six runs and a career-high 11 hits in 4 1-3 innings.

AL Central.

Orlando Cabrera had two hits — including a solo homer — as Minnesota won its third straight game.

Twins 5, Indians 4 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Nick Punto had three hits and two RBIs for Minnesota.

Brian Buscher had a go-ahead RBI single in a two-run sixth inning and Jon Rauch (3-1) pitched 1 1-3 innings of scoreless relief, helping the Twins pull within 4 1/2 games of first-place Detroit in the

Athletics 6, Rangers 1 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Rajai Davis scored the first run then matched a career best with four RBIs for Oakland.

Texas is 1-4 on its homestand and 5 1/2 games behind AL wild-card leader Boston. The Rangers have their largest deficit for a playoff spot all season with only 18 games left.

David Murphy’s leadoff homer in the fourth snapped the Rangers’ 22-inning scoreless streak, their longest in five years, but they were down 4-1 and didn’t score again.

Craig Breslow (7-7) worked two scoreless innings in relief for the lastplace Athletics, who have won seven of nine.

is going to be 42-41.”

The player considered the cornerstone of the team — Pinkney — instead has been part of the problem.

He hasn’t been able to replicate the form that led to last year’s upsets of Virginia Tech and West Virginia, instead completing just 42 percent of his passes with more interceptions (three) than touchdowns (two).

“I don’t think this is all Patrick,” Holtz said.

“Patrick’s going to take a lot of the brunt of when your offense is not doing well, and he’ll take a lot of the credit when it is. ... It

is something that we have considered, and something that we’ve talked about, what we have to do after two games to make sure we’re getting the play at not only quarterback but tight end, tackle and some of the other positions.

“Do you play a couple of the young quarterbacks? ... Do you move (former starter and current tight end Rob Kass) back to the quarterback position?” he added. “There’s a lot of things we have to look at right now. We don’t have all the answers at this point. That’s what this week’s practice is going to be all about.”

friends and friendship,” said Steve Smith, the speedy receiver and Delhomme’s top target.

They view Delhomme as a natural leader, a hard worker who took all the blame Sunday despite horrible pass protection. They still remember the guy who went from unknown backup in New Orleans to a seven-year starter in Carolina and engineer of 12 game-winning drives in the final 2 minutes or overtime.

Delhomme realizes loyalty can last only so long. He’ll head to Atlanta on Sunday for perhaps the most important game of his career.

“I’d like to erase any doubts,” Delhomme said, his eyes fixed on the other stalls in the locker room. “I don’t think they have any.

I really don’t think they

do. But I’d like to erase them if there are any at all this weekend.”

Fox and general manager Marty Hurney are all for it. Their futures may be linked to the 34-yearold getting out of his funk.

Three months after Delhomme threw five interceptions and lost a fumble in a stunning playoff exit, he was rewarded with a five-year, $42.5 million contract.

The move cleared salary-cap space for this year, but it also included $20 million in guaranteed money. The Panthers gambled that one of the worst performances by a quarterback in playoff history was a fluke.

Then he put on an encore.

“Why two in a row and they piggybacked each other so many months

Daily Dispatch/ASHLEY STEVEN AYSCUE

RAIDERS WIN, from page 1B and the Raiders scored the next four. A block from Terry ended the set at 25-21 in Southern’s favor.

Devonte Reese’s kill gave Webb a 6-5 lead in the second, but it was the last lead they held in the set. Three kills and a block from Terry set the score at 19-10, and the Raiders went on to carry it 25-13.

“You hold on to the momentum long enough, confidence builds on one side,” Turner said. “You could kind of see the air come out of them a little bit. They weren’t hitting and they weren’t covering the way that they were.”

“We pulled together and we got stronger.”

Randa Claiborne’s ace tied it for the Warriors at 6 in set three, and Webb took a 7-6 advantage on the next point.

But Southern rallied again after some Taylor kills, and led 11-7 when Warrior coach Rheta Burton called a timeout.

“I think when they saw how aggressive Southern Vance was, I think they got a little intimidated,” Burton said. “Southern Vance — they hit it very aggressively, especially into the back corners.”

A kill and a block from Terry made it 17-9, and the Raiders held the momentum the rest of the way, winning the set 25-12. The last two points were scored on a Terry

ace and a Taylor kill.

Terry had 25 kills, five blocks and 14 digs in the game. Taylor added 18 kills, a block and 13 digs.

Setter Julia Sumner had another big night for Southern, tallying 37 assists. Morgan Adcock had 23 digs.

“This has been a concern for us, that if we’re down by two or three points, then we get down even further. And that’s something we’ve got to work on,” Burton said.

Burton also said the team has a “different dynamic” with standout setter Hailey Mize out due to a shoulder injury.

The senior will likely be out the entire season.

“People have to realize too that this is a different team from previous years as well, and it’s one of those work-in-progress teams,” said Burton.

Webb will have another conference match Thursday, when they host Orange.

“We have to work on motivation first. That’s the key right there. If we’re down, we just have to keep motivated,” Burton said, adding that her team will also need to improve with basic fundamentals.

“I’m going to be hitting them hard tomorrow (at practice). They have to realize that.”

PIRATES, from page 1B drives in a 35-20 loss.

“This is a team game, and you can have nine guys who are playing their tails off and two guys that make mistakes, and you don’t look very good” on defense, Holtz said. “Ten guys look like they’re not playing very well when really 10 guys are doing exactly what they’re supposed to do. And it’s the same on offense. ... We’ve got to keep practicing, we’ve got to keep getting better. I don’t know any other way to do it, other than (to) keep our nose to the grindstone and stay persistent with what we have to get done.”

The Tar Heels pose an interesting challenge for Holtz’s team. With thirdyear starting quarterback T.J. Yates distributing the ball to a group of unproven receivers, North Carolina also has struggled to find consistency, and was shut out in the first quarters by both The Citadel and Connecticut.

“I think there’s two good defensive football teams playing — two offensive football teams right now, probably, both are struggling a little bit,” Holtz said. “Probably neither one of our passing games are where we want them to be. ... I don’t think this game

DELHOMME, from page 1B ary against upstart Arizona and then in the season opener Sunday against Philadelphia. Delhomme has started 22 drives in those two games. Nine ended with interceptions and two more with lost fumbles. Combined score: Opponents 71, Panthers 23.

But walk into the Carolina locker room this week and this is what’s heard: “I love that guy,” said left tackle Jordan Gross, one of the highest-paid linemen in the game. “He was one of the main reasons I wanted to re-sign here. I love blocking for him and he’s our quarterback.”

Added center Ryan Kalil: “He’ll take all of (the abuse) regardless if it’s his fault or not. I think that’s something that’s very inspiring and it’s some-

thing that keeps this team together.”

A quarterback who posted a 14.7 passer rating before being yanked Sunday is keeping the team together?

Don’t write it off as simple athlete-speak.

The players, coaching staff and front office still believe in the guy who led them within a last-second field goal of a Super Bowl title in 2003, an NFC championship game appearance two years later and a 12-4 record last year.

They don’t think Delhomme, who made the Pro Bowl in 2005, has turned into Chuck Knoblauch, Steve Sax or any other athlete who simply lost it one day before disappearing from the stage.

“What he needs more than teammates is real

apart?” Delhomme said. “I don’t know.”

Delhomme was hit repeatedly as the Panthers struggled to defend the Eagles’ blitz. But quarterbacks have been pummeled before without handing out gifts like this. Nine of Delhomme’s last 51 passes have been intercepted.

Delhomme’s contract makes it almost impossible to replace him with a big-name, high-priced veteran. And if the Panthers fold this year under the weight of the league’s second-toughest schedule, they won’t even get a chance to draft a potential franchise quarterback.

Carolina’s first-round pick in 2010 is owned by San Francisco.

If the Panthers wanted to bench Delhomme now, it would be difficult.

Backup Josh McCown was lost for the season Sunday with knee and foot injuries after replacing Delhomme.

Carolina brought in journeyman A.J. Feeley, who has filled in for Philadelphia’s Donovan McNabb in the past.

Maybe Feeley could eventually replace Delhomme. But, for now, the Panthers have no choice.

Sure, he was booed off the field at home in two straight games. Yes, he often throws off his back foot, tries to jam the ball into Smith, gets too excited at times and is on a streak of ineptitude with almost no match in NFL history.

Still, Delhomme is Carolina’s guy.

“I think you’d be hardpressed,” Fox said, “to find a tougher guy in that locker room.”

Asian Barbeque Chicken Wrap

orget about that bowl of cold breakfast cereal or the same old sandwich for lunch. It’s time to give those meals a healthy makeover. And tortillas are just the ingredient to put a healthy meal together in minutes.

Elizabeth Somer, registered dietician and nutritionist, has some easy and delicious ideas for wrapping up healthier meals every day. �

“The most important thing you can do to boost your nutrition is to double your current intake of vegetables,” says Somer. Sneak them into your favorite foods — add baby spinach to a veggie or bean wrap made with whole wheat tortillas; add green peas and carrots to canned soups; or include a salad in at least one meal every day.

To ensure strong bones throughout life, make sure to get at least three servings of calcium and vitamin Drich foods each day. Nonfat milk is an obvious source, but there are other ways to get calcium, too. “For example,” says Somer, “you get the calcium equivalent of a glass of milk in every Mission Life Balance tortilla. Or, drink calcium and vitamin D-fortified orange juice.”

�

To keep carbs under control, skip the sandwich and whip up an Asian Barbeque Chicken Wrap. This recipe uses tortillas with as few as five net grams of carbs, depending on the size.

�

The omega-3 fat DHA found in fatty fish, such as salmon, lowers risk for heart disease and possibly numerous other disorders, from dementia and Alzheimer’s to depression. Somer recommends eating two servings a week of salmon. “Or look for foods fortified with the omega-3 fat DHA, such as soymilk with DHA or Mission Heart Healthy tortillas.”

Today’s answer

HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t have to invent anything. Just follow the directions. If you’re unsure about whether or not the directions are right, assume they are and follow them. Be methodical, and you will get the result you desire.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’ll give your environment a good scrubbing, both literally and figuratively. Whether you are cleaning up situations or surfaces, you get to the bottom of things and then bask in the gleaming satisfaction.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know what you want, and you talk about it to people who seem interested. This brings about a wonderful stroke of luck. Note: To get the true value of this good fortune, you must share it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

There will be a trial having to do with a miscommunication. You will learn to be more specific in your requests. This is all preparation to ready you for the ultimate challenge — finally getting what you want.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The teacher is equal to the student. They are two parts of the same process, and you will be involved in both sides today. You will learn as you teach, and you will teach as you learn.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

There’s nowhere to hide. You’ll be telegraphing your thoughts today, and they come through loud and clear. It benefits you to highlight your flaws. There is a hidden strength inside the quality you have been seeing as a deficit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A playful character re-enters your world with fresh material. Be entertained, even if it means letting your guard down. You can always resume serious business when the party is over.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’ll spend hours on a lonely job, but this is a small price to pay for the great rewards that are coming to you in the future. Make friends with your work. Keep your mind on the dream.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re on the verge of an exciting breakthrough in your personal life. You’re learning more specifically who you are. As you explore the truth about yourself, you’ll see the truth in other people.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

When a fine thing happens, make sure it’s not a one-time occurrence.

Observe exactly what you did to attract this bit of fortune so that you can repeat your actions and get more.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You will be lucky when you dare to step into a new arena. Your innocence puts you in a prime position: You won’t know what can be done, and you won’t know what can’t be done.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Seductive promises dangle in the balance. If it doesn’t have to do with hard work and honest effort, it’s not true. Be vigilant in your focus. Ward off dalliances that will waste your time.
