Homeless shelter on city agenda By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

Swine flu dictates visitation changes

The City Council at 7 p.m. Monday will hold a public hearing on a zoning text amendment that would allow First Presbyterian Church to have avoluntarily-run homeless shelter for men. The Planning Board at a Sept. 21 special meeting recommended changing wording in the zoning regulations to allow homeless shelters in Office-Institutional districts by a special use permit, with the latter having to be approved by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. First Presbyterian is in an OI district. Homeless shelters presently are only permitted in an OfficeInstitutional “A” district by a special use permit.

From STAFF REPORTS

Starting Monday, the minimum age for visitors at Maria Parham Medical Center in Henderson will be raised to 16 years old. This temporary policy change comes in response to the recent upswing in cases of the H1N1 strain of the flu and on the heels of many other health care facilities enacting similar measures. The H1N1 type of the flu may cause serious health risks to those in the high risk category — children under age 5, adults 65 or older, pregnant women, people with other health complications and children under age 19 who are receiving long– term aspirin therapy.

Murder and scam are ‘Crimes of the Month’ By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer

Two cases — a homicide and a “grandparent scam” — are listed as Crimes Of The Month during October by Henderson-Vance CrimeStoppers which is seeking the public’s help in solving them. Henderson Police are looking for Shamond F. Champion, who is charged with first-degree murder in the Aug. 23 fatalshooting of Robert Newsome. The 30-year-old victim, who lived at 715 Highland Ave., was found wounded when officers arrived at the intersection of Highland and Rock Spring Street in response to a 911 call concerning someone having been shot. Newsome was pronounced dead at the scene by EMS personnel. Champion, 22, is described as black, 5-foot-10, 225 pounds. Detectives are seeking a man and a woman suspected of taking money under false pretenses in September from half a dozen local senior citizens as old as 93. Phillip Wayne Coley, 37, and Tammy Dawn Moore, 34, are alleged to have claimed to be related to the victims, and to need money to pay a wrecker service to tow their vehicle stranded on the side of a road. Both are from Henderson. According to Lt. C.O. Pulley of the Henderson Police Department’s Investigations

Division, six felony warrants have been taken out for each of the fugitives. He said Sept. 28 that all of the thefts occurred within the previous two weeks. Estimated money stolen in each incident ranged from $80 to $150. The pair have been seen driving a red 1997 Nissan Pathfinder bearing N.C. Registration XWH-2415. Coley was described as white, 5-foot-9, weighing 185, with brown hair and brown eyes. He is blind in his left eye and has “LOVE” tattooed over the fingers of his left hand. The suspect might attempt to alter his appearance by changing the length of his hair. Moore is white, 5-foot-6, weighing 145 pounds, with black hair and blue eyes. She has recently dyed her hair black and might be trying to alter her appearance. Moore has a rose tattoo on her left shoulder. Anyone with information on the homicide or scam cases is asked to call the Henderson Police Department at 252-4384141 or Crime Stoppers at 252-492-1925. Tipsters will remain anonymous. Crime Stoppers pays up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the offenses. Contact the writer at awheless@ hendersondispatch.com.

Current research in brain development shows that early learning (especially from birth to five years) can directly influence a child’s ability to learn and succeed in school. These trends have contributed to a growing awareness of the importance of quality early education and prekindergarten experiences for children. Research indicates that preschoolers who attend high quality programs: • Enter kindergarten with skills necessary for school success. • Show greater understanding of verbal and

The Rev. Paul Baxley has urged support for the shelter at First Presbyterian. Baxley, of First Baptist Church, doubles as chairman of the Ministers Community Partnership. The partnership has been working with the city leadership since February to address increasing numbers of people identifying themselves as homeless on the steps of churches and at the Department of Social Services. City Planning Director Erris Dunston at the Sept. 14 Planning Board meeting reminded the board of the city government having visited the matter of homeless shelters. And Dunston noted the amendment, approved by the previous City Council on Oct. 23, 2006, allowing homeless shelters in OIA districts, with a special use permit requiring Zoning Board of Adjustment approval. The plan is to have the shelter in the former Boy Scouts room of First Presbyterian, 222 Young St., Baxley has said. Fort Bragg has donated more than 40 cots, Maria Parham Medical Center has agreed to provide laundry services and linen supplies and the Police Department has agreed to provide secu-

rity, Baxley has said. And members of churches throughout the community are considering volunteering to work overnight at the shelter, Baxley has said. In fact, Baxley has said, almost all of the legwork has been done over the past six to eight months and all the partnership needs is to do is finalize a count of volunteers and secure city approval. The plan is to hopefully open the shelter in early November and keep the shelter open until the early spring, Baxley has said. The assumption is the shelter would take in up to 20 people in the first hour each night and, after that, the person would have to have a law enforcement escort or a note from the hospital to get in, Baxley has said. And there are two other hearings set for Monday regarding zoning matters. One is to approve a request from SRS of Henderson to allow the rezoning of a couple of small lots along First Avenue to allow the property to become the site of a clothing and shoe business. SRS of Henderson wants the land bordering First, which is the rear part of the property, to be rezoned from High Density Residential to Highway Commercial.

The City Council at its 7 p.m. Monday meeting will decide whether to approve temporarily revising parking time limits in part of the central business district so shoppers can have easier access to stores. Henderson-Vance Downtown Development Director Phil Lakernick at a Sept. 28 council work session said the problem is, with the present two-hour time limit, some tenants park their vehicles in front of their buildings and move their vehicles every two

ay yd r e Ev

hours to avoid being ticketed. The Downtown Development Commission has been working on the parking problem since as far back as June 2007. City Manager Ray Griffin, whom the council hired at the end of July 2008, asked Lakernick to survey all of the businesses in the affected area. The area was narrowed to Garnett Street from Montgomery Street to Winder Street and to Breckenridge Street from Garnett to Wyche Street. Lakernick told the council that 32 businesses were sur-

to vote. Rainey said that the Planning Board had to put city items on hold Sept. 14, including the matter of the homeless shelter at First Presbyterian, and that there would have to be the Sept. 21 special meeting for voting on recommending the items for council approval. The council in early December agreed to amend the city ordinance to change 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 without “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 toCity Manager Ray Griffin.

The front part of the property, which is located along Andrews Avenue and is adjacent to a BP convenience store, already is zoned Highway Commercial. The Planning Board on Sept. 21 recommended a rezoning. The other is to approve a text amendment permitting tailors in the OIA zoning district as a matter of right, instead of having to obtain a special use permit from the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The Planning Board recommended the text amendment, also on Sept. 21. And on Monday the council will take up a proposed ordinance to add four alternate positions to the Planning Board in hopes of having a quorum present at board meetings. City Councilman Michael Rainey, who doubles as Planning Board chairman, 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 made the request at the Sept. 14 council meeting because the Planning Board meeting earlier in the day lacked a legal number of city appointed members

Re-imaged Walmart to re-open Wednesday Remodeling added about 50 positions at store in Henderson By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

A grand re-opening of an upgraded Walmart Supercenter at 200 N. Cooper Drive is set for 7:30 a.m. Wednesday. The mega-store will employ approximately 325 associates, including approximately 50 positions created as a result of the remodeling of the building, which is located in a busy retail area off Interstate 85 between Dabney Drive and Ruin Creek Road. Additionally, the supercenter parking lot has received a facelift, with new lights and a re-striping job. Plans are for supercen-

ter associates to present $7,000 in grants from the Walmart Foundation to local service organizations, including: • The American Red Cross. • Ministries Outreach Crusade. • The National Society to Prevent Blindness. • Special Olympics of North Carolina. • Vance Charter School. • Vance Elementary School. • The Warren Education Fund. The supercenter near the end of last month was undergoing a major change on the outside, as evidenced by earth-tone colors replacing the past

red-white-and-blue look, while the inside was being rearranged. The supercenter dates back to August 2002, having replaced a discount store dating back to the middle 1990s. And the changes are part of a corporate-wide revamping and upgrading called “Project Impact,” with the Oxford supercenter, which opened on Sept. 16, being an example of the new look and arrangement. The Oxford supercenter replaced a discount store dating back to the early 1990s. Contact the writer at bwest@ hendersondispatch.com.

SWINE FLU, from page one “Obviously, we ask anyone who may be sick or have flu-like symptoms not to visit patients in the hospital,” said David Ruggles, Director of Marketing and Community Relations at Maria Parham. “We need everyone’s help to minimize the spread of H1N1 and this year’s seasonal flu.” There are two exceptions to this policy change: Children under the age of 16 who are coming to visit a newborn sibling and underage individuals who wish to visit a gravely ill relative. These exceptions must be free of cold and flu symptoms and will be required to submit to a screening prior to being allowed to see the patient.

A nurse, from the unit they are visiting, will do a quick assessment, including a temperature check. If they exhibit obvious symptoms of being ill, they may not be allowed to see the patient. “We have worked closely with our Infection Prevention Department and have followed Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations in developing this new short-term rule,” said Bob Singletary, President and CEO of Maria Parham. “While it may be a temporary inconvenience, the safety of our patients and our employees is of utmost importance.” “Prevention is key,” said Patsy Pegram, Director of Infection Prevention at

Maria Parham. “Flu shots, whether for the more well known seasonal flu or for H1N1, keep people from getting the flu and, in turn, keep the flu from spreading to others. It is recommended that individuals, especially those who are at high risk, receive a flu shot. If you do become sick, remember to follow the CDC’s recommendation of staying home from work or school until 24 hours after your fever is gone without the use of fever-reducing medications.” Practice good hand hygiene by washing your hands frequently, using hand sanitizer if water is not available, and covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, she said.

MINI DENTAL IMPLANT SYSTEM How can mini dental implants help denture wearers? The Mini Dental Implant System calls for four of the 1.8 mm mini dental implants, which are about the size of wooden toothpicks, to be gently placed into the front of the patient’s lower jaw. It is a relatively painless procedure that Dr. Ghodrat can perform, usually only requiring a mild anesthesia. Your denture is then carefully adjusted by the dentist to allow it to snap onto the four mini implants. The result? A tight fitting, completely reliable system, that allows you to speak and eat with confidence. All performed in less than two hours, then you may go out and enjoy your favorite lunch.

Iraqis: Improve public services Hundreds take to streets, also demanding open elections By SAMEER N. YACOUB Associated Press Writer

Water, water... Residents wade through floodwaters Saturday as they go on with their daily business at Dagupan city, Pangasinan province, north of Manila, Philippines. Rescuers struggled through mud Saturday to clear mountain roads after dozens of landslides that buried villages and cut off towns in the rain-soaked northern Philippines. The Philippines have been hit by record rain. On Sept. 26, Tropical Storm Ketsana killed 337 people. On Oct. 3, Typhoon Parma, which lingers as a tropical depression, killed at least 276 in the north.

China says it’s time to act on N. Korea disarmament talks By ELAINE KURTENBACH Associated Press Writer

BEIJING — North Korea appears keen to improve ties with the U.S. and its neighbors in Asia and perhaps rejoin nuclear disarmament talks, China’s premier said Saturday, urging fellow leaders not to let the opportunity slip away. These were Wen’s first public comments on a visit last week to Pyongyang, where he said he met for 10 hours with North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. China is reclusive North Korea’s chief ally and source of economic aid. His upbeat remarks are the latest indication that the North is shifting tack after earlier this year pulling out of six-nation disarmament talks and conducting nuclear and missile tests. But the

North says it first wants direct talks with the United States before reentering the multilateral negotiations. The North’s nuclear program was a key topic as Wen, Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama and South Korean President Lee Myung-bak met in Beijing for an annual summit Saturday. The East Asian nations agreed to work together on the nuclear issue and jointly tackle other challenges, such as climate change and expanding trade and investment ties as they move toward closer regional integration. Wen said his deepest impression after his talks with Kim was that the North wants to improve relations with the United States as well as Japan and South Korea. North Korea has long

BAGHDAD — Hundreds took to the streets Saturday throughout Iraq to demand open elections and improved public services, revealing a growing discontent among Iraqis that is overshadowing concerns about the ability of Iraqi forces to take over from withdrawing American troops. Low oil prices have left the Iraqi government struggling to restore infrastructure after years of neglect, corruption and insurgent attacks, as well as to rebuild their security forces before a planned American

The comments came in an interview posted Saturday on Buckingham Palace’s official YouTube channel. The prince was celebrating the 50th anniversary of a design prize named for him. He said that in some areas, like television, the quality of design remained “ghastly.” The Times newspaper quoted Philip in the same interview as saying “to

days, though, al-Maliki has said rebuilding infrastructure rather than building up Iraqi forces will take priority during the next budget year. Iraq was twice forced this year to slash its budget from $79 billion to $58.6 billion due to falling oil prices. Its budget next year is expected to be about $70 billion, still well below its funding needs. Iraqi Defense Minister Abdul-Qader al-Obeidi said any defense cuts next year would likely create an obstacle in training and equipping troops. He said Iraq would have to compensate by “caring about quality rather than quantity.”

None of the three were allowed to appeal the sentence or had access to a lawyer. The Islamic courts were originally set up to try to counter the bloody chaos of Somalia’s 18-year-old civil war. Initially their harsh judgments were welcomed by many of the war-weary population and in 2006 the courts formed the basis for an Islamist administration that controlled much of the capital and southern Somalia.

Iran sentences 3 to death in mass opposition trial TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Three defendants in Iran’s mass trial of opposition figures accused of fueling the country’s postelection unrest have been sentenced to death, an Iranian news agency reported Saturday. Two of them were convicted of membership in a monarchist group seeking to topple Iran’s Islamic Republic and restore a monarchy, the semiofficial ISNA news agency reported, quoting judiciary official Zahed Bashiri Rad.

The third defendant was convicted of having ties to a terrorist group for his alleged links to the People’s Mujahedeen, an armed opposition group, ISNA quoted Rad as saying. The three are the first defendants to be sentenced to death since the trial began in August. More than 100 prominent opposition figures and activists are accused of offenses ranging from rioting to spying and seeking to topple Iran’s Islamic rulers through

what authorities have called a planned “soft overthrow.” The days of street protests were triggered by allegations of fraud in the June 12 re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The judiciary official would said they can appeal the sentences, ISNA reported. On Friday, Amnesty International identified one of those sentenced to death as Mohammad Reza Ali Zamani. Amnesty said the 37-yearold was convicted of “en-

mity against God” through membership in a monarchist group. It also said he was convicted of making propaganda against the ruling regime and of leaving the country illegally to meet with U.S. military officials in Iraq. Amnesty said it was concerned that the ruling against Zamani could open the way for more death sentences for those accused of similar crimes, and the rights group appealed to the authorities to rescind the ruling.

Iran says it will enrich uranium further if talks fail TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The spokesman for Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization is warning that his country will enrich uranium to a higher level needed to power a research reactor if talks

with world powers fail. Ali Shirzadian tells The Associated Press that Iran is open to discussing proposals on the issue at an Oct. 19 meeting in Vienna with officials from the U.S., France and Russia.

Those nations want Iran to send its processed uranium abroad to be enriched to higher levels for the reactor. Enrichment is a central concern because it can be used in nuclear power and research reac-

tors or to make weapons, if processed further. The U.S. and some of its allies accuse Iran of seeking nuclear weapons. Iran denies that, saying its nuclear work is for peaceful uses.

H1N1 Flu Questions & Answers What are the symptoms of H1N1 flu? Fever (usually high), headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, runny nose, muscle aches, sore throat, vomiting, and sometimes diarrhea. Do I need to go the emergency room if I am only a little sick? - No. The emergency room should be used for people who are very sick. You should not go to the emergency room if you are only mildly ill. If you feel sick with flu symptoms and are at high risk of flu complications or you are concerned about your illness, call your health care provider for advice. How does it spread? - The same as seasonal flu, by person to person contact through coughing or sneezing. It can also be spread by touching something, like a surface or object, then touching your mouth or nose. How long can an infected person spread the virus to others? - People infected with either the seasonal or H1N1 flu may be able to infect others from day 1 before getting sick to 5 to 7 days after. How long should I stay out of work if I become ill with the flu? - You must stay at home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone without using fever reducing medicines. Keep away from others as much as possible. Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing. Take these steps to prevent infection: Clean your hands with alcohol hand rub or soap and water frequently. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

Our Opinion

A promise to the ‘publick’ This might come as no shock, but there hasn’t always been a free press in America. Of course, there weren’t always printing presses. But even once there were, being in the printing business certainly wasn’t free. America’s first newspaper was entitled “Publick Occurrences, Both Forreign and Domestick.” It’s first issue was published on Sept. 25, 1960, in Boston, printed by Richard Pierce for editor Benjamin Harris. That was also the newspaper’s last issue. Taking offense at its content — which included mention of the Indians’ Thanksgiving celebration, dispatches from the French and Indian War, and allegations of incest among the French royals — the British colonial government shut the paper down. The governor and council of Massachusetts forbade anything further to be printed in the colony “without License first obtained from those that are or shall be appointed by the Government to grant the same.” It took a revolution and our Constitution to secure and ensure the freedom to write or say (virtually) whatever we desire to express. But “Publick Occurrences” is more than just the answer to a trivia question. In the introduction to his first and only issue, Benjamin Harris — who left London after being also troubled by authorities for his publications — in effect laid down the law for how newspapers should be managed to this day. Wrote Harris (historic spellings, misspellings and all): “It is designed, that the Countrey shall be furnished once a moneth (or if any Glut of Occurrences happen, oftener,) with an Account of such considerable things as have arrived unto our Notice. Harris told his readers what his publication cycle would be, and said he would give them all the news that was fit to print. In order hereunto, the Publisher will take what pains he can to obtain a Faithful Relation of all such things; and will particularly make himself beholden to such Persons in Boston whom he knows to have been for their own use the diligent Observers of such matters. Harris promised to print the truth based on the testimony of sources he could trust. That which is herein proposed is, First, That Memorable Occurrents of Divine Providence may not be neglected or forgotten, as they too often are. Secondly, that people everywhere may better understand the Circumstances of Publique Affairs, both abroad and at home; which may not only direct their Thoughts at all times, but at some times also to assist their Businesses and Negotiations. Harris told readers that whatever might happen to their community or their neighbors — including “Occurents of Divine Providence” likely such as fires, storms and such — it would be reported so that the stories of Boston and its people would not be forgotten. He also pledged to keep the public clued-in to what was going on in government and business. All are staples of newspapers to this day. Thirdly, That something may be done towards the Curing, or at least the Charming of that Spirit of Lying, which prevails amongst us, wherefore nothing shall be entered, but what we have reason to believe is true, repairing to the best fountains for our Information. And when there appears any material mistake in any thing that is collected, it shall be corrected in the next. Harris again promises to print the truth according to trustworthy sources, in part to discourage the human urge to engage in rumormongering. And, Harris pledges that if he commits an error of fact, he will print a correction. Moreover, the Publisher of these Occurrences is willing to engage, that whereas, there are many False Reports, maliciously made, and spread among us, if any well-minded person will be at the pains to trace any such false Report so far as to find out and Convict the First Raiser of it, he will in this Paper (unless just Advice be given to the contrary) expose the Name of such person, as A malicious Raiser of a false Report. It is supposed that none will dislike this Proposal, but such as intend to be guilty of so villanous a crime. Harris threw down the gantlet before those who would lie to the public — we presume, including those in government and business. If we or someone else can prove you’ve lied, Harris warns, we’ll expose you as a liar, by name. And, Harris notes, only a liar would object. It’s an incredible, five-paragraph promise to readers. One to which ours and all newspapers still would do well to aspire.

This column was originally published Oct. 21, 2001. This is the time of year when Americans make a sincere effort to care about the World Series, which determines which baseball team will be the champion of the entire world, except for the part of the world located outside the United States and southeastern Canada. But the heck with that part. This is OUR national pastime, and that’s why the World Series arouses our passion, even if we stopped paying attention to pro baseball some years ago, when it started adding mutant teams with names like the Tampa Bay Area Fighting Seaweeds. Why is baseball our national pastime? Because it is a metaphor for life itself. As George Will put it: “In life, as in baseball, we must leave the dugout of complacency, step up to the home plate of opportunity, adjust the protective groin cup of caution and swing the bat of hope at the curve ball of fate, hoping that we can hit a line drive of success past the shortstop of misfortune, then sprint down the basepath of chance, knowing that at any moment we may pull the hamstring muscle of inadequacy and fall face-first onto the field of failure, where the chinch bugs of broken dreams will crawl into our nose.”

Yes, baseball is very deep, although this is not obvious from looking at it. If you don’t grasp the nuances, baseball appears to be a group of large, unshaven men standing around in their pajamas and frowning, as if thinking: “My arms are so big that I can Dave no longer Barry groom myself!” Tribune Media Services Yet show the same scene to serious baseball fans, and they will see a complex, fascinating, almost artistic tableau. Why? Because they have consumed huge quantities of the drug Ecstasy. No, seriously, it’s because these fans appreciate the subtleties of baseball. To help you perceive these subtleties during the World Series, here’s a quick “refresher course,” starting with: THE ORIGINS OF BASEBALL: Mankind has played games involving sticks and balls for hundreds of thousands of years. Meanwhile, Womankind had her hands full raising Childrenkind, but whenever she asked Mankind to lend a hand, he’d answer, “Not now! We have a no-hitter going!” That was true, be-

cause numbers had not been invented yet. Then, in 1839, along came a man named Abner Doubleday, who as you can imagine, took a lot of ribbing because his name could be rearranged to spell not only “A Barely Nude Bod” but also “Lure Dad By A Bone.” Nevertheless, he invented a game that included virtually all of the elements of modernday baseball, including Bob Costas and the song “Who Let the Dogs Out.” This led to the Civil War. BASEBALL TODAY: Baseball today is very much the same as it was 150 years ago, except that, for security reasons, the games take place after the public has gone to bed. The rules are simple: Each team sends nine players onto the field, except for one team, which sends one — the “batter” — plus two elderly retired players called “coaches,” who constantly touch themselves on various parts of their bodies to communicate, via Secret Code, the message: “Tobacco juice has corroded my brain into a lump of dead tissue the size of a grape.” The object of baseball is for the “pitcher” to throw the “ball” into the “strike zone.” This is almost impossible, because the only person who knows the location of the strike zone is the “umpire,” and he refuses to reveal it because of a bitter, decadesold labor dispute between

Obama’s Nobel in Cartoons

his union and Major League Baseball. On any given day, the strike zone may not even be in the stadium; there’s simply no way to tell. The umpire communicates solely by making ambiguous hand gestures and shouting something that sounds like “HROOOOT!” which he refuses to explain. Eventually, the pitcher throws the ball at the batter, in case the strike zone is located somewhere on his body. This is the signal for all the players to run to the middle of the field and engage in a form of combat similar to professional wrestling, except that sometimes professional wrestlers, by accident, actually hit each other. This never happens in baseball, where the last player to land a punch was Babe Ruth, who in the 1921 World Series, knocked out his own self. Instead of punching, baseball players fight by grabbing each other’s shirts and exchanging fierce glares, as if to say: “You’re gonna get a PERMANENT WRINKLE IN YOUR PAJAMAS, BUSTER!” After nine “innings” of this, the team with the most “runs” wins. I don’t know how the runs happen, because by then I’m asleep. But I sleep in front of the TV, in a rooting position. My body language clearly says: “I may not know who’s playing, but if they don’t win, it’s a shame.”

Columbine killer’s mom: ‘No inkling’ son suicidal In magazine essay she says her son intended to die By KRISTEN WYATT Associated Press Writer

DENVER — The mother of Columbine killer Dylan Klebold says she has been studying suicide in the decade since the high school massacre but had no idea her son was suicidal until she read his journals after his death. Susan Klebold’s essay in next month’s issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, is the most detailed response yet from any of the parents of Columbine killers Dylan Klebold or Eric Harris. The teenagers

killed 12 students and a teacher in the 1999 shooting rampage at Columbine High School in suburban Denver. Twenty-one people were injured before Klebold and Harris killed themselves. The parents have repeatedly declined to talk about the massacre. They gave depositions in a lawsuit filed by families of the victims, but Klebold a judge in 2007 sealed them for 20 years after the lawsuit was settled out of court. In her essay, Susan Klebold wrote that she didn’t know her son was so disturbed. “Dylan’s participa-

tion in the massacre was impossible for me to accept until I began to connect it to his own death,” she wrote in excerpts released by the magazine ahead of Tuesday’s publication. “Once I saw his journals, it was clear to me that Dylan entered the school with the intention of dying there. And so in order to understand what he might have been thinking, I started to learn all I could about suicide.” In a statement with the essay, Oprah Winfrey wrote that Susan Klebold has turned down repeated interview requests but finally agreed to write an essay for O. A spokeswoman for the magazine said there were no plans for Susan Klebold to appear on Winfrey’s television show, and a spokeswoman

for the Klebold family said there would be no further statements. Susan Klebold said her son left early for school on the day of the shootings. “Early on April 20, I was getting dressed for work when I heard Dylan bound down the stairs and open the front door. Wondering why he was in such a hurry when he could have slept another 20 minutes, I poked my head out of the bedroom. ‘Dyl?’ All he said was ‘Bye.’ The front door slammed, and his car sped down the driveway. His voice had sounded sharp. I figured he was mad because he’d had to get up early to give someone a lift to class. I had no idea that I had just heard his voice for the last time.” Susan Klebold said she had “no inkling” how sick

her son was. “From the writings Dylan left behind, criminal psychologists have concluded that he was depressed and suicidal. When I first saw copied pages of these writings, they broke my heart. I’d had no inkling of the battle Dylan was waging in his mind.” Susan Klebold said she is still struggling to make sense of what happened. “For the rest of my life, I will be haunted by the horror and anguish Dylan caused,” she wrote. “I cannot look at a child in a grocery store or on the street without thinking about how my son’s schoolmates spent the last moments of their lives. Dylan changed everything I believed about myself, about God, about family, and about love.”

Wrong N.C. man in jail a week GREENSBORO (AP) — Authorities say a 44-year-old North Carolina man spent a week in jail because he has the same name of a suspect 23 years younger. The News & Record of Greensboro reported Saturday that Jesse Ray Hardy Jr. of Greenville was arrested Monday, then taken to jail 160 miles away to face charges of resisting an officer, breaking and entering and failing to yield to a pedestrian. Court officials say the real suspect shares the same name and hometown, but is not related. The mix-up wasn’t realized until Friday, despite court appearances in both Pitt and Guilford counties. Judge Susan Bray apologized to Hardy as she worked to get him released.

News Briefs FAA: In-air crash kills 2 in central La. PINEVILLE, La. (AP) — Federal authorities say two small planes collided in the air in central Louisiana, killing two and injuring two. Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford says each of the single-engine Cessna 150s was carrying two people when they hit about 2:30 p.m. Saturday. The collision happened less than a mile from Pineville Regional Airport. Both planes crashed into woods. Lunsford says both of the people who died were in the same plane. He says the occupants of the second plane were taken to a hospital, but he did not know how badly they were hurt. The airport is on Lake Buhlow, a popular

recreation area where boat races were scheduled Saturday. Lunsford says a lot of flight training is done in the area, but he wasn’t sure if students were involved.

Harvard to digitize rare Chinese books BOSTON (AP) — One of the most extensive collections of rare Chinese books outside China will be freely available as Harvard University has agreed to digitize the titles. Representatives from the Harvard College Library and the National Library of China signed a deal Friday to digitize more than 51,000 volumes in the Harvard collection. Some are more than 1,000 years old. All the rare books are held at the Harvard-

Yenching Library. They will be examined to identify those that are fragile, damaged or sewn in a way that hides text along the binding margin. Harvard technicians have been designing new equipment as they prepare to begin the six-year project in January. Officials have not disclosed the cost, saying only that it’s a multimilliondollar project.

Suspect in his 70s robs bank in Calif. SAN DIEGO (AP) — A man in his 70s has robbed

a bank branch inside a San Diego supermarket. Police investigators say the man handed a teller a note demanding cash Friday at the U.S. Bank inside a Vons supermarket in the Carmel Valley neighborhood. The man said he had a gun, but no weapon was seen. He escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash. Investigators say the suspect may be responsible for similar robberies at banks in La Jolla and Santee in August and September. In one robbery, a suspect with a similar description was carrying an oxygen tank.

Walt finishes strong, but comes up short of a new boat While I certainly do wish that I had been able to take Randy Owen up on his offer to help me get the boat and truck that I could have won in Maryland this weekend back home, I wasn’t able to. A 36th-place finish out of 148 boaters was only 1 pound, 6 ounces away from cashing a good check, and less than 5 pounds from making the top 12 finals. Although I would have been a lot happier with a win or topsix finish, I am satisfied with my Walt performance Bowen and see this On the Water as great Weekly preparation for future events. Only one fish that was hooked got off, and he wasn’t big enough to have made but a few ounces difference in my total. After practicing hard by fishing the river from Washington D.C. to Port Tobacco over a five-day period, I started day one with a solid game plan. My starting spot near the mouth of Piscataway Creek had produced good fish each time I had stopped there in practice, and my co-angler caught a nice 2-pounder on his first cast when we pulled up there Thursday morning. In the past, having the guy in the back of the boat catch a fish before me would have shaken my nerves, but I saw it as a positive sign meaning that fish were there. However, the bite was slow and after almost an hour and a half with only two more keepers between us, I knew it was time to leave for my second stop up near Washington D.C. Vern Fleming had told me of a spot where he caught a big fish when he won a similar tournament in the early 1990s, and I had caught a nice 3-pounder there earlier in the week. Strong winds Wednesday night had blown the water out of the Chesapeake Bay, which kept the high tide from coming in like it typically does. As I was fishing along the bank that Vern had described, I saw an old log in the water that hadn’t revealed itself Please see FISHING, page 3B

Houston, defense lead UNC past Georgia Southern By JOEDY McCREARY AP Sports Writer

CHAPEL HILL — Ryan Houston rushed for three touchdowns and Quan Sturdivant returned a fumble 49 yards for a score, one of six turnovers forced by North Carolina during a 42-12 rout of Georgia Southern on Saturday. Bruce Carter brought back an interception 41 yards for a TD and the defense set up two quick scoring drives with takeaways for North Carolina (4-2). Houston scored on rushes of 1, 1 and 7 yards. Shaun Draughn added a 16-yard touchdown run for the Tar Heels, who held the

Eagles to 170 total yards and 75 through the air. Adam Urbano had a 45-yard TD rush — the longest allowed this season by North Carolina’s stingy defense — for the Eagles (3-3). The Tar Heels managed only a combined 10 points in consecutive losses to Georgia Tech and Virginia that dropped them out of the national rankings and into last place in the ACC’s Coastal Division. Turned out, a timely visit from another outmanned Football Championship Subdivision Please see HEELS, page 3B

CHARLOTTE — At this rate you’d expect the Redskins’ next opponent will be a directional school, or maybe even a Championship Subdivision team. In a stretch that would make even cupcake-collecting college coaches blush, Washington (2-2) visits Carolina (0-3) on Sunday set to become the first NFL team in 55 years to play a winless teams in each of the first five weeks of the season. Granted, the opener was a loss to the still unbeaten New York Giants. Since then the Redskins eked past struggling St. Louis, became the first team in 20 games to lose to Detroit and barely edged woeful Tampa Bay. According to STATS LLC, the last team to face five winless opponents in a row was the 1954 Giants. No team has faced six straight teams without a victory, and 0-4 Kansas City sparkles on the schedule next week like a homecoming

Joey Logano celebrates victory lane after winning the NASCAR Nationwide Copart 300 in Fontana, Calif. Saturday.

Logano gets fifth win of season By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer

FONTANA, Calif. — Joey Logano simply got mad after Greg Biffle put Logano in the wall Saturday in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Auto Club Speedway. His father, Tom, tried to get even, and lost his NASCAR credentials in the process. Joey Logano recovered to win the 300-mile race, pulling away from Brian Vickers over the final two laps to pick up his fifth series win of the year, and second in a row. Yet while the 19-year-old exalted in Victory Lane, his father was being taken to the NASCAR hauler to talk with Nationwide Series director Joe Balash following a postrace confrontation with Biffle. The elder Logano approached Biffle’s car in pit lane after the race and made at least one hand gesture in Biffle’s direction before a NASCAR official intervened. “A NASCAR official pulled Mr. Logano’s annual credential Please see LOGANO, page 2B

Two-minute drill Malone’s hat trick lifts Lighting past Canes College Football App State beats NC Central 55-21 BOONE (AP) — Devon Moore rushed for 124 yards and Appalachian State dominated in the running game to defeat North Carolina Central 55-21 on Saturday. The Mountaineers (3-2) had 407 yards on the ground and six rushing touchdowns. Appalachian State trailed 14-7 late in the first quarter, but responded with 27 straight points. Armanti Edwards put the Mountaineers ahead 34-14 on a 7-yard run with 3:15 left in the third quarter. Edwards finished with 97 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries, and was 17 of 29 for 237 yards and a touchdown. After gaining the early lead, the Eagles (0-6) scred just once in the second half, on a 44-yard pass to Andrew Johnson from Michael Johnson early in the fourth quarter. Michael Johnson was 16 of 23 for 186 yards and two touchdowns for North Carolina Central.

Morgan State downs NC A&T 7-6 BALTIMORE (AP) — Devan James ran for a 7-yard touchdown in the first quarter and Morgan State held on for a 7-6 victory over North Carolina A&T on Saturday. The Bears are 4-1 for the first time in 30 years. Morgan State has won four straight games and remains tied for first in the MEAC. James scored with 24 seconds left in the first quarter to give the Bears a 7-0 lead. N.C. A&T (3-3, 1-2) missed two field goals and a penalty cost the mistake-plagued Aggies a touchdown on a kickoff return in the first half. Midway through the third quarter, an Aggies punt hit a Morgan State player at the Bears’ 11-yard line. A&T scored three plays later on a 1-yard touchdown run by Tony Coles, but Fred Davis blocked Patrick Courtney’s extra-point attempt. A&T’s Wallace Miles missed a 51-yard field goal as time expired.

MLB Game 3 in Denver postponed; Martinez out DENVER (AP) — The snow in Colorado has scrapped Philadelphia’s plans for Pedro Martinez to make his first postseason start in five years. After Game 3 of the Rockies-Phillies playoff series was postponed because of winter weather Saturday, the Phillies announced a pitching change. They will send lefty J.A. Happ to the mound instead of Martinez. Happ, a rookie, said Friday that he felt better after being knocked out of Game 1. He he entered in relief and took a hard liner off his left leg in the seventh inning. The Rockies on Sunday are sticking with their scheduled starter, right-hander Jason Hammel.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Lightning won for the first time in almost seven months. Ryan Malone had three goals, including the go-ahead score midway through the third period, and the Lightning beat the Carolina Hurricanes 5-2 on Saturday night. “From Day 1 he has been ready to go,” Lightning coach Rick Tocchet said. Malone made it 3-2 from the slot with 9:14 to play after receiving a nifty pass from Martin St. Louis. After Steve Downie extended the Tampa Bay advantage to 4-2 on a power-play goal at the 13-minute mark, Malone completed his hat trick with an empty-netter with 1:16 remaining. Paul Ranger also scored for the Lightning (1-1-2), who stopped a 12-game losing streak — including four losses in overtime or a shootout — dating to last season. It was Tampa Bay’s first win since beating Columbus 2-1 on March 24. “The guys did a good job of keeping it even keel,” Malone said. “That’s what it’s all about. So it’s good to see everybody come together and get two points.”

“We’ve got to find a way and make sure we stay out of that box.” Ranger stopped a personal 22-game goal-scoring drought from just inside the blue line at 13:24 of the second, and then Malone put the Lightning up 2-1 just 15 seconds later on an in-close back-

hander. Carolina had taken a 1-0 lead on Staal’s wraparound goal during a second-period power play at 12:42. Brind’Amour tied it at 2 with a power-play goal with 2:32 left in the second. Brind’Amour has 1,168 career points, two away from tying Bobby Hull for 47th place. St. Louis had two assists to extend his seasonopening point streak to four games. He has five assists and seven points over the stretch. “We could have won the last three games,” St. Louis said. “Keep playing together, I like our chances to be successful.” Since the start of the 2005-06 season, Carolina is 39-20-4 against Tampa Bay and Florida. The Hurricanes beat the Panthers 7-2 on Friday. “We feel we have a really good team, but we still haven’t gotten consistent 60-minute game,” Carolina left wing Jussi Jokinen said. “We need to be better.” Tampa Bay’s Antero Niittymaki made 24 saves in first start of the season. Cam Ward stopped 34 shots for the Hurricanes.

along with teammate Kyle Busch. He qualified on the pole for Saturday’s race, but thought his day was done after getting together with Biffle, figuring if he could manage a Top 10 finish, he’d have a decent day. He got much more than that. While Biffle, Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski battled for the lead, Rogers went to work on Logano’s car, finally finding the right formula late in the race. Logano benefited from a late-race collision between Hamlin and Biffle, then caught another break when a late caution led to a green/white/checkered finish. He dominated the restart, pulling away from

Vickers for the victory. “I was going to try to salvage a top 10 out of it and all of a sudden I’m sitting third and all of a sudden I took the lead and I thought ’I got a shot at this thing,”’ Joey Logano said. “I can’t believe it.” “You don’t want to get me mad,” Logano said. “I just race harder.” Carl Edwards finished third and pulled within 155 points of series leader Kyle Busch, who exited his No. 18 Toyota early in the race because of a fever. Hamlin filled in capably for his teammate and appeared to have one of the strongest cars on the track when he found himself stuck between Keselowski and Biffle coming out of Turn Four.

The Panthers, yielding 182.7 yards rushing a game, could get safety Chris Harris (knee) and linebacker Na’il Diggs (ribs) back Sunday in their first home game since Delhomme was booed off the field in a season-opening 38-10 loss to Philadelphia. “It’s time to reset and get ready to go,” Delhomme said, a common theme in the locker room following the bye. “We’ve got one this week and another the following and they don’t stop.” While the Redskins know they’re in the soft portion of their schedule, the Panthers are entering a similar three-game stretch. After Washington they visit the Tampa Bay (0-4) and host Buffalo (1-3). “I think if we play to

our capability we should be back to .500 by then,” said fullback Brad Hoover, expected to return after missing the Dallas loss in Week 3 with back spasms. “I’m sure they are looking at it the same way. Anytime you see a teams that is 0-fer, you see teams that are licking their chops and wanting to kick you more while you’re down.” The Redskins have faced that scenario every week, a stretch no team has enjoyed since Eisenhower was in the White House. “We’re 2-2, so it’s great to have the opportunity looking at our schedule to end up with the thought, ’Oh, they’ve played the easiest schedule,”’ Portis said. “I really wouldn’t say our schedule was easy. But we put ourselves in this position, now we’ve got to dig ourselves out.”

Tampa Bay’s Mattias Ohlund, left, and James Wright block Carolina’s Scott Walker during the first period of of Saturday’s game in Tampa, Fla. Carolina got goals from Eric Staal and Rod Brind’Amour. The Hurricanes were called for seven minor penalties. “I don’t know what it is, if the referees don’t like our new coach or what, but we’ve been the leastpenalized team the last couple years,” Staal said.

LOGANO, from page 1B after he confronted the 16 on pit road,” NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said. Tom Logano will be eligible to sign for a singleevent license while officials review the event and can attend Sunday’s Sprint Cup event at the track, Poston said. Tom Logano was apparently upset about the scrape Biffle and his son on lap 50. The veteran was challenging for the lead when he hinted over the radio that he was going to put the young driver in the fence. Moments later Biffle slid up the track while passing Logano on the inside, a move that slightly damaged Logano’s No. 20 Toyota. Dave Rogers,

Logano’s crew chief, called Biffle “a coward” over the radio. Poston said NASCAR is reviewing the video. Joe Gibbs Racing president J.D. Gibbs had no comment and neither Logano could be reached for comment following the race. Tom Logano has been a fixture at the track since his son made his Nationwide Series debut last June. Joey Logano joined JGR’s Cup program at the end of the 2008 season and took over as the driver for the No. 20 Toyota in the Cup Series when Tony Stewart left to form his own team. Joey Logano has delivered on his precocious talent, helping dominate the Nationwide Series

PANTHERS, from page 1B opponent. “Oh, wow,” Redskins running back and captain Rock Cartwright said when told of matching the 55-year-old mark. “I mean, if that’s the case, then we probably should be 4-0. But that’s not the case.” Their offense is struggling so much against the weak competition that longtime assistant Sherman Lewis was brought in this week to be an “extra set of eyes.” Team officials downplayed talk that’s a bad sign for embattled coach Jim Zorn, whose task is to keep desperate Carolina winless. “The hardest teams to beat are the ones that are searching for a win right now,” Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell said. “The reason for it is because teams feel like they are back against a wall and they tend to play with a lot more urgency and a lot harder.” The Panthers are in that position. They’ve gone from NFC South champions to disarray thanks to injuries, a disappointing defense and Jake Delhomme’s bushel of turnovers. They had a bye last weekend and were forced to ponder the statistic that only three teams since 1990 have made the playoffs after starting 0-3. “As a coach and as a player in the National Football League, you’re going to get beat physically sometimes,” Panthers coach John Fox said. “That team practices and gets

paid, too. But it’s when you don’t execute that it drives you crazy, and we’ve got to get it fixed.” It’s easy to see why both teams are in such predicaments. They can’t score or hold onto the ball. The Panthers’ minus-8 turnover margin is the worst in the league, with Delhomme committing 15 in his last 15 quarters dating to January’s playoff loss to Arizona. The Panthers, who haven’t had the dominating run game of a year ago, are averaging 12.3 points a game, 29th in the league. Campbell threw a career-high three interceptions last week and has fumbled a league-high seven times. Washington is averaging 14 points a game, 27th in the NFL. So maybe it’s not a surprise the Panthers, despite being outscored 87-37 this season, are favored. “We’ve got a lot of 0-fers that we’ve been playing against this year so far, but that’s just part of it,” Redskins receiver Antwaan Randle El said. “Mark it as an underdog? Great! Keep marking us as an underdog. We’ll just come out and again and focus on us and worry about us and go down and take of our business.” The Redskins, 7-1 against the Panthers, may try to get running back Clinton Portis going against the league’s worst rushing defense. Hollis Thomas, released by the winless Rams last week, is expected to become the

Mitchell leads SMU to win over Pirates DALLAS (AP) — Bo Levi Mitchell completed 17 of 29 passes for 266 yards and two touchdowns to lead Southern Methodist to a 28-21 win over East Carolina on Saturday. Aldrick Robinson scored

on a 96-yard touchdown reception to tie for the longest touchdown pass in SMU history, and the Mustangs (3-2, 2-0 Conference USA) snapped the Pirates’ five-game conference winning streak.

Dominique Lindsay led all rushers with 144 yards on 24 attempts for ECU (3-3, 2-1). The Mustangs scored 21 consecutive points to take a 21-7 lead, capped by safety Rock Dennis’ 53-

of Game 2, got a standing ovation from a sellout crowd of 47,296 before his first at-bat with two men on and one out in the first. Then he tapped out to the mound. Pfft. Ramirez, only 1 for 8 the first two games amid suggestions by manager Joe Torre that he was trying too hard, gave the Dodgers the early lead with a twoout RBI double in the first. Ethier, who had only one homer in the last 12 gams of the regular season, jumped on a 3-1 pitch for a two-run shot that made it 3-0 in the third. It was his second homer of the series. Ronnie Belliard singled to start the fourth, stole second and scored on Rafael Furcal’s single for a 4-0 cushion. That was more than

enough for the Dodgers, who were 2-5 against the Cardinals during the regular season with all the games played when St. Louis was its best. Joel Pineiro, a 15-game winner and the last of the Cardinals’ big three starters to come up empty, allowed four runs in four innings in an outing that matched his shortest of the season. The sinkerball specialist allowed only 11 homers in the regular season, but surrendered five in his last three starts. The Cardinals’ demise, though, was due to the failure of an offense beefed up with the acquisitions of Holliday, Mark DeRosa and Julio Lugo since late June. St. Louis was 4 for 30 (.133) with runners in scoring position against an underrated Dodgers pitching staff, totaling six runs and stranding 28 runners. One of them, Yadier Molina, doubled with one out in the seventh and than ran into an easy out on a groundball in front of him. Furcal, the Dodgers’ leadoff man, had two hits and was 7 for 12 in the series with two RBIs. Ethier was 6 for 12 with three RBIs. John Smoltz struck out five in two innings. The Cardinals finally broke through on Pujols’ runscoring single off Broxton in the eighth. The Cardinals totaled three or fewer runs in 18 of their last 33 games. They fell to 6-2 in division series in 14 seasons under manager Tony La Russa.

Quinn promising to “put it on our shoulders.” Did they ever. Quinn jarred the ball loose from Lee Chapple as he passed late in the first quarter. E.J. Wilson returned it to the 16 and Draughn scored on the next play to make it 14-0. Sturdivant pushed the lead to 21-7 midway

through the second when he ripped the ball out of Urbano’s hands and returned it down the right sideline for his second career score. Zach Brown’s interception moments later gave the Tar Heels the ball at the 22 and three plays later, Houston barrelled in from 7 yards out.

Carter then snuffed out the Eagles’ next possession with his second career interception return for a TD. North Carolina, held to nine first downs in last week’s loss to the previously winless Cavaliers, nearly matched that on an opening drive that ended with Houston’s first

1-yard plunge. He powered in with 6 seconds before the break to give the Tar Heels their most points in a first half since they scored 52 against Duke in 2000. Urbano finished with a career-high 93 yards rushing for Georgia Southern, which fell to 1-17 against Bowl Subdivision teams.

the outcome and have a great sense of accomplishment; this should be the first of hopefully many opportunities to fish at this level, and my turn to win will come one day. Before pulling out of the campground Saturday morning, I headed over to the Smallwood Marina to watch the final 12 take off and was excited to learn that Henderson resident and longtime competitive fisherman Mark Robertson had made the finals in ninth place. He was only

2.5 pounds off the lead and has an excellent chance at making the top six and even winning, and I am anxiously awaiting the posting Saturday night of the final standings. The Potomac River is a beautiful place with an excellent fishery, despite being considered a toxic cesspool less than 30 years ago. I saw deer and eagles everywhere and cannot wait to head back for the next tournament there. Next week’s article – Final standings from

the BFL on the Potomac River. Hopefully Mark Robertson needs help getting his truck and boat back to Henderson. Tip of the week – If you spend much time fishing on open bodies of water like the Potomac River where high winds can lead to hazardous boating, look into one of the radios that provides NOAA weather reports. I have one and by knowing that there was a high wind advisory starting Friday at 11:00 a.m., I was able

to get to the areas up the river where the fishing was better, catch a good set of fish, and then leave in time to avoid dangerous conditions that lead to the capsizing of one of the tournament boats later in the day. This comes in handy for Kerr Lake as well, where conditions up near the dam can get dicey when strong winds blow across the widest parts of the lake.

ST. LOUIS — Unemployed in August, Vicente Padilla kept the Los Angeles Dodgers going in October. The second-chance pitcher shut down Albert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals, putting the Dodgers back in the National League championship series with a 5-1 victory on Saturday night. Andre Ethier missed the cycle by a single, Manny Ramirez had three hits and two RBIs and the Dodgers didn’t need help this time from another St. Louis fielding blunder to sweep their division series opponent for a second straight season. Pujols and Matt Holliday were a combined 2 for 8 with a late RBI for the Cardinals, who never recharged after becoming the first National League team to clinch a division title. St. Louis was 1-9 after wrapping up the NL Central, and was swept for the first time in the division series or NLCS play and only for the third time overall in the postseason. Closer Jonathan Broxton struck out Rick Ankiel for the last out and pumped his fist as the Dodgers ran out to the mound to celebrate becoming the first team to advance to the championship series. They await the winner of the PhiladelpiaColorado series that is even at a game apiece. The Phillies beat Los Angeles

St. Louis’ Yadier Molina, right, walks off the field as the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrate their victory in Game 3 of the National League division series Saturday in St. Louis. The Dodgers won the game 5-1 to sweep the Cardinals and advance to the National League Championship Series. in the NLSC last season in five games. Padilla, designated for assignment by the Rangers in early August, was 4-0 the final month with the Dodgers before shutting down the Cardinals on four hits over seven innings in his first career postseason appearance. After escaping a bases-loaded jam in the first inning he was dominant, retiring 19 of 21 hitters against a team he last faced in 2003. The Dodgers were already up 3-0 in the third inning when starter Joel Pineiro dropped Pujols’ simple toss at first for an error on James Loney’s grounder for the lifeless Cardinals beset by bad play this series.

Wake Forest wide receiver Devon Brown dives across the goal line to score against Maryland in the first half of Saturday’s game in Winston-Salem.

Skinner leads Wake over Terps; Cavs rout Hoosiers Wake Forest 42, Maryland 32 WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Riley Skinner threw for 360 yards and a career-high four touchdowns Saturday, shattering the Wake Forest record for yards passing in a career in a 42-32 victory over Maryland. Chris Givens caught five passes for 116 yards and two scores for the Demon Deacons (4-2, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who moved into first place in the Atlantic Division by shredding Maryland’s suspect defense. Wake Forest scored touchdowns on its first five possessions in building a 35-10 halftime lead. Skinner went over 8,000 yards passing in the second quarter to move past Brian Kuklick. A week earlier he broke Kuklick’s career touchdown mark. It looked easy against Maryland (2-4, 1-1), which couldn’t build on last week’s surprising win over Clemson. The Terrapins allowed 516 yards and their bangedup offense couldn’t keep up.

Virginia 47, Indiana 7 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Mikell Simpson ran for four touchdowns and cornerback Ras-I Dowling forced two turnovers to set up scores as Virginia defeated Indiana 47-7 on Saturday. Jameel Sewell passed for 308 yards as Virginia rolled up more than 500 yards total offense for the first time since 2004. Simpson’s first two 5-yard touchdown runs came after big plays by Dowling — a forced fumble that Rodney McLeod returned 32 yards and an interception. Dowling also had a third-down sack after Indiana (3-3) reached the Cavaliers’ 32. Zane Parr’s sack on the next play gave the ball back to Virginia (23), and eight plays later Simpson was untouched on a 3-yard touchdown run with 2:34 left in the first half. He also had a 1-yard TD run before being injured in the third quarter. Nick Turner’s 12-yard touchdown run was the only score for the Hoosiers.

HEELS, from page 1B opponent was just what they needed, building a 42-7 halftime lead — their highest-scoring first half in nine years. The game had no impact on North Carolina’s postseason eligibility because teams may count only one victory per season over an FCS team toward the six necessary to

qualify for a bowl, and the Tar Heels routed Citadel 40-6 in the opener. The Tar Heels’ defense, which entered with national rankings of No. 8 overall and No. 4 against the pass, spoke openly during game week about feeling the need to give their struggling offense a jolt. Defensive end Robert

FISHING, from page 1B to me before, yet was visible due to the lower water. I flipped a jig over to it and set the hook after feeling a slight tap, and it was on. This fish was a giant and was finally landed despite being dumped out of the net once by my co-angler. I estimated it weighed around 6 pounds, and it was officially weighed in at 5 pounds 15 ounces (rounded up to 6 pounds). When I described this to Vern Thursday night in a phone call, he recalled that

his fish came off an old log laying in the river there and that it too weighed exactly 5 pounds 15 ounces. That sure gave me an eerie feeling. Sometimes it’s like things happen for a reason. Anyway, I ended up in 36th place at the end of day one, and despite catching multiple limits each day, I was in the same place after day two. The competition was strong against a field of experienced anglers. Again, while I was pleased with

COLLEGE FOOTBALL TOP 25

Gators remain unbeated in win over Tigers; TCU survives No. 1 Florida 13, No. 4 LSU 3 BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Tim Tebow arrived at raucous Death Valley ready to play. Then No. 1 Florida’s defense left No. 4 LSU in a daze. Two weeks after suffering a concussion, Tebow and the Gators’ swarming defense silenced the largest crowd in the history of Tiger Stadium with a 13-3 victory Saturday night. The day began with Tebow’s status uncertain for what looked like the defending national champions’ toughest regular-season test. By the time it was over, Tebow had thrown a touchdown pass and Brandon Spikes had a led Florida defense that sacked Jordan Jefferson five times. Most of the record crowd of 93,129 fans who partied all day and roared like a jet engine after kickoff were heading for the exits with 2 1/2 minutes left to play. No. 2 Texas 38, Colorado 14 AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Earl Thomas returned an interception 92 yards for a touchdown and Ben Wells recovered a blocked punt for another score to help Texas pull away from Colorado in the second half. Jordan Shipley returned a punt for a touchdown in the fourth quarter for the Longhorns (5-0, 2-0 Big 12), who can now look ahead to next weekend’s showdown with No. 19 Oklahoma. Colorado (1-4, 0-1) led 14-3 behind tough defense and two first-half touchdown passes by Cody Hawkins that quieted the home crowd and even drew some boos. No. 3 Alabama 22, No. 20 Mississippi 3 OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Mark Ingram rushed for 172 yards and a touchdown and Alabama stuffed Mississippi. Jevan Snead threw four interceptions for Ole Miss (3-2, 1-2 SEC), tying a career high, and the Crimson Tide (6-0, 4-0) scored after a blocked punt and a fumble recovery on a punt return. Leigh Tiffin hit five short field goals, passing his father Van Tiffin on the Crimson Tide career list for third place in career scoring. Snead completed 11 of 34 passes for 140 yards. Twice Alabama defenders ripped the ball away from Ole Miss receivers who were bobbling it. Arkansas 44, No. 17 Auburn 23 FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Michael Smith rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown, and Arkansas held off a late Auburn rally to hand the Tigers their first loss. Arkansas jumped out to a 34-3 lead before Auburn (5-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) responded with a three-touchdown flurry toward the end of the third quarter. Dennis Johnson helped the Razorbacks (3-2, 1-2) regain momentum with a 70-yard kickoff return,

and Arkansas shut out the Tigers in the fourth. Ryan Mallett threw for 274 yards and two touchdowns for the Razorbacks. Ben Tate ran for 184 yards and two TDs for Auburn.

No. 5 Virginia Tech 48, Boston College 14 BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Tyrod Taylor, Ryan Williams and Virginia Tech’s swarming defense made sure the Hokies’ regular season losing streak against Boston College ended. Taylor threw two early touchdown passes, and Williams ran for 159 yards and a TD. The victory ended a three-game regular season skid by Virginia Tech (5-1, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) against Boston College (4-2, 2-2). The Eagles’ 25-year-old freshman quarterback, David Shinskie, had said he welcomed the chance to play at sold-out Lane Stadium, but that didn’t last long. He was hit the second time he dropped back and finished the first half 0-for-9 with two interceptions and his team trailing 34-0. At halftime, Virginia Tech had 293 yards, and the Eagles had 3. No. 9 Ohio State 31, Wisconsin 13 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Kurt Coleman and Jermale Hines returned interceptions for touchdowns and Ray Small brought a kickoff back 96 yards, dealing the self-destructive Badgers their first loss of the season. Coleman, playing his first game since a Big Ten-mandated suspension for a late hit, was the only person near Scott Tolzien’s pass in the first quarter and returned it 89 yards. After Wisconsin (5-1, 2-1 Big Ten) made it 14-10 early in the third quarter, the Buckeyes (5-1, 3-0) padded their lead when Hines tipped a pass, pulled it in and followed a glut of blockers on a 32-yard return. No. 10 TCU 20, Air Force 17 AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) — Andy Dalton and TCU slid their way through the icy mist, the freezing cold and the Air Force defense to keep their BCS hopes alive with a dicey win over the Falcons. With temperatures in the teens and a frozen mist and drizzle falling, Dalton threw for 198 yards, receiver Jeremy Kerley had a rushing touchdown and a 52-yard kickoff return and the Horned Frogs (5-0, 1-0 Mountain West) finished with 393 yards, all but 22 of them in the first three quarters. But TCU had to fight for four quarters for this win, in large thanks to three turnovers, including two after driving inside the Air Force 10. No. 11 Miami 48, Florida A&M 16 MIAMI (AP) — Already trailing the Miami Hurricanes by three touchdowns, Florida A&M tried lining up

on defense with 13 players. That didn’t work either. The referee threw a flag and sent two Rattlers to the sideline, and four plays later the Hurricanes scored another touchdown en route to a victory.

No. 12 Iowa 30, Michigan 28 IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Ricky Stanzi threw for 284 yards and two touchdowns and No. 12 Iowa survived yet another close call, beating Michigan 30-28 Saturday night for its best start since 1985. Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez pulled quarterback Tate Forcier in the fourth quarter. Fellow freshman Denard Robinson led a touchdown drive capped by his own 3-yard run, and Michigan got the ball back with 1:30 left. But Robinson was intercepted by Brett Greenwood with 46 seconds left, keeping the Hawkeyes (6-0, 2-0), the only unbeaten team left in the Big Ten. No. 13 Oregon 24, UCLA 10 PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Kenjon Barner returned the second-half kickoff for a 100-yard touchdown, and Talmadge Jackson returned an interception 32 yards for another score just 13 seconds later. Jeff Maehl took a short reception 20 yards for the Ducks’ third touchdown in less than four minutes during a spectacular opening to the second half of their fifth straight win. Oregon’s big plays on special teams and defense covered for an offense that was shut out in the first half, struggling without injured quarterback Jeremiah Masoli. No. 14 Penn State 52, Eastern Illinois 3 STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Daryll Clark threw for three touchdowns and ran for another, Jared Odrick led a menacing defense with two sacks and linebacker Navorro Bowman returned a fumble 91 yards for a touchdown in the Nittany Lions’ most complete performance of the season against lowerdivision Eastern Illinois. The game was well in hand in the first half, when Penn State (5-1) scored 28 points the final 7:27 of the second quarter. Clark threw his TDs on three straight drives, including a 51-yarder to Chaz Powell down the right seam, to give Penn State a 24-0 lead with 4:33 left in the half.

Oklahoma State was also missing Kendall Hunter, the Big 12’s leading rusher in 2008, who sat out with an ankle injury. Robinson completed 14 of 25 passes for 279 yards, Keith Toston ran for 130 yards and Beau Johnson ran for two scores as the Cowboys won at Kyle Field for only the second time since 1983.

No. 16 Kansas 41, wIowa State 36 LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Todd Reesing threw for 442 yards and four touchdowns and Kerry Meier set two school receiving records in a game filled with big plays and missed extra points. Iowa State’s Austen Arnaud, scrambling on fourth-and-9, had Darius Darks in the open in the end zone but overthrew him with a minute left and the Jayhawks (5-0, 1-0 in the Big 12) held on. Reesing was 37 for 49 and tied his own school record for completions. The Jayhawks scored twice in the fourth quarter after the Cyclones (3-3, 0-2) took a 3027 lead behind Arnaud and Alexander Robinson, who ran for 152 yards and two TDs. Arnaud passed for 293 yards and two scores. No. 19 Oklahoma 33, Baylor 7 NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford threw for 389 yards and a touchdown in his return from a shoulder injury and Chris Brown had two short scoring runs. Bradford broke former Heisman runner-up Josh Heupel’s school record with the 14th game of his career with at least 300 yards passing, and he could have had even bigger numbers if the Sooners’ receivers didn’t have trouble handling his passes. Bradford had been out for a month with a sprained AC joint in his right, throwing shoulder and had hoped to return this week so he’d have a game under his belt before next week’s rivalry game against No. 2 Texas.

No. 15 Oklahoma State 36, Texas A&M 31 COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Zac Robinson threw two touchdown passes and Oklahoma State overcame the absence of its top two playmakers. The Cowboys (4-1, 1-0 Big 12) played without All-America receiver Dez Bryant, who was ruled ineligible by the school this week for lying to the NCAA about contact he made with a former NFL player.

No. 25 South Carolina 28, Kentucky 26 COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Stephen Garcia threw for three touchdowns and ran for another and South Carolina stopped a potential tying two-point conversion in the fourth quarter, keeping coach Steve Spurrier a perfect 17-0 against the Wildcats. The Gamecocks (5-1, 2-1 SEC) won their 10th straight over Kentucky (2-3, 0-3). Wildcats quarterback Mike Hartline left the game with a sprained left knee early in the third quarter after leading Kentucky to a 17-14 halftime lead. Garcia had touchdown passes of 10, 28 and 22 yards to freshman Alshon Jeffery. Garcia added what proved to be the winning margin with his leap from the 1 with 8:22 remaining to give South Carolina a 28-20 lead.

ending a 20-game losing streak. “We knew what they were going to do, every down, every third-andshort, every scenario,” said Austin Kelly, who caught the go-ahead touchdown pass late in the third quarter. On the other sideline, the Wolfpack defense had no clue how to stop Lewis, who guided the Blue Devils to touchdowns on their first three drives. “Duke came out and went right at us,” N.C. State defensive end Willie Young said. “This isn’t the

same Duke team of two, three, seven years ago.” With the game tied at 28, Lewis directed a 10play drive that ended with his 8-yard scoring pass to Kelly with 3:41 left in the third. Then the Blue Devils caught a huge break when a Blue Devil punt bounced off blocker Justin Byers and Duke recovered at N.C. State’s 11-yard line. Three plays later, Lewis connected with Vernon for a 5-yard touchdown that pushed the lead to 42-28 with 11:02 left. And when the Blue Devils stuffed Toney Baker on a fourth-

Shaq, LeBron take show on the road in win over Bobcats By JEFFREY COLLINS Associated Press Writer

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — After only two preseason games, Shaquille O’Neal knows he still has some work to do to mesh with his new team. O’Neal played 18 minutes in Cleveland’s 102-96 win over the Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday night, and the Cavaliers’ newest big man didn’t have the best of opening quarters, throwing a couple of no-look passes that went just behind or in front of his teammates. But O’Neal got into a groove during a brief third quarter appearance, making a short hook shot and a dunk and hitting Mo Williams for an open 3-pointer before leaving the game for good with 12 points and four rebounds. O’Neal likes his new home and teammates, but he isn’t ready to make any predictions on how good this team can be. “I’ll be able to tell by March or April if we have the potential to win,” he said after the game. O’Neal and LeBron James took their show on the road for the first time. James played even less than O’Neal, scoring 11 points and getting five assists in just 17 minutes, all in the first half. The high-

light for James came when he shook off a defender and drove for a dunk that led to one of the few oohs from the sellout crowd at the North Charleston Coliseum. Gerald Wallace led Charlotte with 18 points, while Alexis Ajinca added 15 points off the bench. The Cavaliers started J.J. Hickson in place of Anderson Varejao, who was having lower back spasms. Hickson, whom James has mentored during the offseason, had 15 points and six rebounds and was the only Cleveland starter playing in the final minutes as the Cavaliers held off several Bobcats runs. Hickson followed James around all summer, working out whenever they could find the time and hanging out with James’ family.l “I see the potential in him. If he just had a good work ethic, that could help him,” James said. “He learned more about being a man also, growing up, being around me and my family and things like that — I think it helped him.” Hickson played 29 minutes, more than any other Cavalier, and coach Mike Brown said he wanted to see what the second-year player from North Carolina State could do if he got a chance.

Georgia Tech running back Anthony Allen runs during the first half of Saturday’s game against Florida State in Tallahassee, Fla. The game was delayed with 6:50 remaining in the first quarter for 78 minutes because of lightning in the area. At press time, Georgia Tech held a 42-38 lead over the Seminoles in the final seconds of the third quarter.

DUKE-STATE, from page 1B we saw on film. ... It was just go out there and play because I knew the plays we had called was fixed to beat the coverage that they were playing out there tonight.” Lewis’ 40-for-50 passing day could have been even better had his receivers not dropped about four passes in the opening quarter. Still, they spent most of the game running free through the Wolfpack’s defense while the offensive line surrendered just two sacks against the ACC’s top sack unit. Donovan Varner had

154 yards receiving while Conner Vernon had 10 catches and was one of five different players to catch a TD pass. The defense did its part too, hanging in after a rough start against quarterback Russell Wilson to deny the Wolfpack an offensive TD after halftime. Duke finished with 502 total yards, converted 13 of 19 third downs and never trailed in front of N.C. State’s stunned home crowd. It was Duke’s first ACC road win since beating North Carolina to close the 2003 regular season,

and-1 with 6:05 left, they could feel that this game really would be different from all those other league losses. Things only got worse for N.C. State, which started the game with three straight touchdown drives, only to play the final 5 minutes or so in front of a virtually empty Carter-Finley Stadium. The low point — aside from that miserable defensive performance — came when the Wolfpack botched another punt return in the final minutes in the same fashion, this time with the

ball bouncing off the leg of blocker Owen Spencer and rolling into the end zone, where Duke recovered for another touchdown with 3:07 left. Wilson ran and threw for a touchdown for N.C. State, while Baker ran for 73 yards and a score. T.J. Graham added a 93yard kickoff return as the Wolfpack’s only second-half score. “We need to take more responsibility as a team,” Wolfpack coach Tom O’Brien said. “We were outcoached and outplayed.”

Danica needs seat time to excel, Johnson says By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer

United States player Tiger Woods reacts to his birdie putt on the 17th hole of his foursomes match at golf's Presidents Cup at Harding Park Golf Course Saturday in San Francisco.

Woods, Stricker first unbeated team in 30 years By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

SAN FRANCISCO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker were perfect as Presidents Cup partners, and they got enough help from everyone else Saturday to put the Americans in position to stay perfect on home soil. With an improbable rally by Woods in the morning and pure putting by Stricker in the afternoon, they became the first partnership in the Presidents Cup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the first in 30 years of any team competition â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to go 4-0. Phil Mickelson had a chance to join them with an undefeated record using different partners. Mickelson and Sean Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hair, who won their match handily in the morning, each had a birdie putt inside 15 feet on the final hole for the win, but had to settle for a halve. The International team walked away from Harding Park the last two days with momentum from keeping close. But as darkness fell across from Lake Merced, the deficit looked daunting with only 12 singles matches remaining Sunday. The Americans had a 12 1/2-9 1/2 lead. No team has rallied from three points behind on the final day to win the cup outright, and the Americans have lost only one singles session in the seven previous Presidents Cup matches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last time we had a fivepoint mountain to climb in Montreal, and it looks like we will have something to climb,â&#x20AC;? Geoff Ogilvy said after collecting his first point of the week in teaming with fellow Australian Robert Allenby. Woods and Stricker are the first partners to go 4-0 in any team competition since Larry Nelson and Lanny Wadkins won all their matches in the 1979 Ryder Cup at The Greenbrier. The perfect mark looked unlikely in the morning foursomes, when the International team was poised to catch the Americans by leading the final three matches on the course. Woods and Stricker, who had missed four putts inside 8 feet during a sixhole stretch in the middle of the match, were on the verge of being closed out on the 17th hole. The International team was 1 up, with Mike Weir facing 5 feet for birdie. Woods tried to drive the green and found the bunker, and Stricker hit a poor shot to 25 feet. Miss it, and Weir could win the match by making his short birdie putt. Woods watched his birdie putt tumble into

the cup on the final roll, then showed more emotion than he had all week. He repeatedly pumped his fist as Stricker broke into a wide grin. Weir pushed his birdie putt, and the match was all square heading to the 18th. From the fairway, Woods drilled a 3-iron and twirled the club in his hand, the sign of a good shot, and this one was even better. It landed softly onto the green and stopped 8 feet away. Tim Clark blasted his bunker shot long, and the International team conceded the birdie and an unlikely 1-up victory. Ahead of them, Stewart Cink and Hunter Mahan cobbled together a birdie on the final hole to earn a halve against Allenby and Vijay Singh after trailing the previous 13 holes. Those two matches â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a three-point swing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; gave the Americans a 10-7 lead after the morning. In afternoon fourballs, Woods only had to watch Stricker make one long birdie putt after another in a 4-and-2 victory over Y.E. Yang and 18-year-old Ryo Ishikawa, the first loss for the Asian duo. Jim Furyk and Anthony Kim held on for a 2-up victory over Adam Scott and Angel Cabrera, while the International team picked up easy victories in fourballs from Ogilvy and Allenby, and Weir and Ernie Els, who had a 5-and-3 win over Zach Johnson and Justin Leonard. Mickelson might have to settle for being the best player in red, white and blue this week. He brought Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hair to life in their 5-and-3 victory in foursomes, then came up with the biggest shots in a late fourballs rally against Singh and Clark. The International side was 2 up with seven holes to play until Mickelson birdied the 12th and Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hair birdied the next hole. Clark stuffed it so close on the 14th that the birdie was conceded, and Mickelson then matched the birdie with a 40-foot putt. The only thing Lefty didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do was make the final putt. Singh and Clark missed their birdies, and Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hair missed his birdie putt from just inside 15 feet. The final stroke belonged to Mickelson, but the birdie putt stayed just to the right of the hole. No matter. The lead is still three points, and the Americans need to win only five of the 12 singles matches to hoist the gold cup. They have never lost the Presidents Cup on American soil, and they have an overall lead of 47 1/2-36 1/2 in singles.

FONTANA, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jimmie Johnson has some advice for Danica Patrick if the IndyCar star really wants to make the move to NASCAR: donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it part-time. Patrick has reportedly signed a three-year extension to remain in IndyCars with Andretti Green Racing, though she is in preliminary talks with JR Motorsports about dabbling in NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nationwide Series sometime down the road. The three-time defending Sprint Cup champion would welcome Patrick to the circuit, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sure splitting time between the two series is the best way for IndyCarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular driver to make the transition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seat time is everything,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to learn these cars, learn these tracks. She may have raced on these tracks, but not in a closed-body vehicle.â&#x20AC;? If Patrick is serious about becoming competitive in stock cars, Johnson thinks she needs to commit to more than a

IRL driver Danica Patrick waits to drive practice laps as she prepares for the Firestone Indy 300 Friday at HomesteadMiami Speedway in Homestead, Fla. handful of races a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drive everything with a body on it, ARCA, Truck, (Nationwide), Cup, hit some walls,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be tough because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously going to have the spotlight on her. But hit walls, tear up equipment, make mistakes, you have to go through that.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a process that can be a struggle for even the best open-wheel drivers. It took Juan Pablo Montoya two full seasons to get comfortable in stock cars after leaving Formula 1. Now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third in points heading into

Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500-mile race at Auto Club Speedway. Montoya rarely ventures outside of stock cars these days save for the Rolex 24 at Daytona shortly before the seasonopening Daytona 500. Even then, after just a couple days of testing and racing in the Rolex, it feels â&#x20AC;&#x153;weirdâ&#x20AC;? when he gets back in a Cup car. Montoya called the difference between driving open-wheel cars and stock cars â&#x20AC;&#x153;night and day.â&#x20AC;? And Montoya is one of the lucky few who have made the move successfully.

Former IndyCar champion Sam Hornish Jr. is finally making progress in his second full season driving Cup cars for Penske Racing. Dario Franchitti spent a few ill-fated months in NASCAR in 2008 before moving back to IndyCars, and captured this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s points title by winning the season finale Saturday at Homestead. Can Danica make the jump? Her presence would give the circuit a much-needed jolt, though Dale Earnhardt Jr. called any talks in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;early stages.â&#x20AC;? He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doubt, however, her ability to succeed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made it to the top level of motorsports in open wheel and in North America and any driver in that position has talent,â&#x20AC;? Earnhardt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very competitive.â&#x20AC;? Maybe, but Johnson thinks it takes more than that to succeed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Juan Pablo and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an F1 driver coming in or a guy coming from a local short track, you have to go through those experiences to learn,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said.

McDaniels faces former mentor, student By ARNIE STAPLETON AP Sports Writer

DENVER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a throwback and a reunion all in one. Tom Brady is coming off his best game since returning from a knee injury that wiped out his 2008 season. Now he has another tough test yet against a Denver defense that has allowed the fewest points in the league â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Broncos coach Josh McDaniels, a man who knows him as well as anybody in football. McDaniels spent five seasons as Bradyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position coach or coordinator in New England before bringing the Patriotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blueprint to Dove Valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would love to give Josh his first NFL loss, nothing would make me happier than that,â&#x20AC;? Brady said. The Broncos (4-0) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bostonâ&#x20AC;? Patriots (3-1) will wear throwback uniforms Sunday in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the American Football League. These teams played the first AFL game ever, on Sept. 9, 1960. The Patriots will wear red and white uniforms replicating the ones worn by the 1963 team. The Broncos will be decked out in brown helmets, mustard-colored jerseys, brown pants and socks with vertical brownand-yellow stripes, the same style the 1962 team burned in a bonfire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It matters not what uniform weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wearing,â&#x20AC;? Broncos safety Brian Dawkins said when asked if he could see why the uniforms were sent up in smoke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a kidding question, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too much wrapped up in this game to be wrapped up in the ugliness or the beauty of a jersey.â&#x20AC;? McDaniels is facing his former pupil and his mentor, Bill Belichick, under whom he cut his coaching teeth. So, how will these teams combat all the inside information and familiarity with each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s systems? Easy, suggested McDaniels. The system he copied from New England changes so much on a weekly basis that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really an issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay the same. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching film of us and they know what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running. And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching film of them and we know a lot of things theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running. And yet, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see some things on Sunday that may be a little

In this Dec. 9, 2007 file photo, New England head coach Bill Belichick talks with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels after the Patriots scored a touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers. McDaniels just might pan out as the best Bill Belichick protege of them all. His Denver Broncos are off to a surprising 4-0 start with the New England Patriots (3-1) and his mentor paying a visit to Invesco Field on Sunday. different and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen before,â&#x20AC;? McDaniels said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think, ultimately, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to come down to playing and whose players play better.â&#x20AC;? Belichick isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t among those who are surprised the Broncos are still unbeaten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very impressed with the time I spent with Josh here,â&#x20AC;? Belichick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a smart guy, knows football, understands, I think, all the elements of the game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; personnel, strategy, offense, defense, motivation, all the different elements of it, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a lot of poise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool under pressure and he did a great job for us here. And it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprise me that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing well out

there.â&#x20AC;? Nor does it surprise Brady. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From being around him for as long as I had, and being in as many meetings, I know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always so wellprepared and so diligent,â&#x20AC;? Brady said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a little strange seeing him on the other sideline, but I guess weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of used to that around here.â&#x20AC;? Other former Patriots assistants didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fare so well when they first became head coaches. Defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel ultimately was fired by the Cleveland Browns, as was Eric Mangini by the New York Jets. Former offensive coordinator Charlie Weis is still the head coach at Notre

Dame, though his teams have struggled in his tenure. McDaniels has succeeded so far, and he credits his time in New England for paving the way. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also his own man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In many ways, it may be like staring in the mirror, but our players are totally different and our defenses are different,â&#x20AC;? McDaniels said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And some of the things we try to do on game day are certainly different.â&#x20AC;? Brady had already tasted Super Bowl success before McDaniels became his guide, but the quarterback said he learned plenty from Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You spend a ton of time with your coach, so we spent a ton of time together and we know each other very well,â&#x20AC;? Brady said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, I can provide a little insight for our defense, maybe how to frustrate Josh.â&#x20AC;? For several years, McDaniels got an up-close view of Bradyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skills set and work ethic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I say that in all seriousness, whenever they finished their game Sunday, I guarantee he was watching film Sunday night, not taking 24 hours to enjoy the Baltimore win, but getting ready for Denver and watching DVDs. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen every game weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played three times already,â&#x20AC;? McDaniels said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then he can go out there and actually do things with that information because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got great talent, so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of a kind.â&#x20AC;?

At left, bottles and jars of honey are on sale inside The Bee’s Knees on Weldon’s Mill Road Thursday afternoon. Owner Bill Craig keeps bees, uses them to pollinate farmers’ fields throughout the region, and then harvests the bees’ honey for sale.

Weldon’s Mill Road business is buzzing By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer

Bill Craig has 3,200,000 ideal employees who operate 40 factories for him in Aycock. They are highly skilled workers who create a very desirable product and aid area farmers in growing crops. They also don’t need to be paid, never take vacations, volunteer to work overtime, and don’t belong to any union. There’s a reason for that. They’re honey bees. They’re also prize-winners. The Bee’s Knees — a crafts store on Weldon’s Mill Road that is owned by Craig and his wife, Marie — proudly displays numerous jars of honey, as well as several blue ribbons and a red one. The bees won first place for their wares each of the past three years at the Vance County Regional Fair. In 2008, they landed second place for the overall best entry. About 80,000 bees reside in each of the 40 hives that Craig maintains on a microscopic piece of the 72-acre tract. Instead of bears, the local honey attracts numerous prospective buyers who flock to the business that has been open since 2005. That was when the couple retired from their teaching jobs at a middle school in Michigan, and moved to Vance County. They have been married for 34 years. The building the Craigs bought used to house Weldon’s Grocery, which closed in 1984. A beekeeper since 1975, Craig owned 200 hives, each containing 80,000 tenants, when he lived up north. Putting them to work, he carried a few of their homes at one time in a trailer from the western part of the state to the coast. There, they pollinated apple trees, pumpkin vines, blackberry bushes and cucumber vines. The bees help produce more perfect fruit, not more fruit, Craig explained. Before migrating to North

Above, Bill Craig uses a smoker to stun honey bees while attempting to pull the comb out of a hive on his property on Weldon’s Mill Road Thursday afternoon. At left, Craig shows off the comb covered with honey bees. The hives are kept deep in the woods of his property on Weldon’s Mill Road. Below, honey bees enter a hive on Craig’s property.

Carolina, Craig gave all of his hives to his son, who also keeps bees. Craig eventually filled the 40 empty wooden boxes that he brought with him with swarms of wild bees that weren’t welcome on the properties of numerous local residents. Somewhat smaller in size than their domesticated cousins, the feral bees are also better housekeepers, according to Craig. He said they routinely rid their hives of deadly mites that would like to prey on them. The parasites are well-known for killing tame bees that don’t prevent the tiny intruders from multiplying in their homes. Craig transports his bees to the fields of farmers in Vance and numerous other counties. They do their pollinating in the daytime and return to their hives at dusk. The next morning, they go at it again. Recently, more than 700,000 of the insects pollinated 2 1/2 acres of

pumpkin vines at Franklin Family Farms on Vicksboro Road. The honey that is normally sold in jars at The Bee’s Knees — when it is open on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays — contains flavors that include blackberry and honeysuckle. Each April for the last

two years, Craig carted off some of his bees to the Dismal Swamp where they ingested nectar from the blossoms of tupelo trees. The flavor soon turned up in the honey that the bees made. A lot of their product is consumed by the bees, themselves, while the rest is harvested by Craig. He

sells some of it in bulk to the O’Berry Center in Goldsboro. Craig said the honey is bottled and sold by the center’s residents who have mental disabilities such as autism. An obvious question eventually came up during the interview.

In answering, Craig said the most times he has been stung in one night was by about 50 bees who climbed through a hole in his face veil. “I was stung all over,” he said. Contact the writer at awheless@hendersondispatch.com.

VGCC Early Childhood Associate Program earns national accreditation The Early Childhood Associate Program at Vance-Granville Community College recently received its official accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). The organization granted the college preliminary accreditation in 2007. The accreditation system establishes standards to raise the quality of

teacher education, and in turn raise the quality of early childhood education programs serving young children. “VGCC’s accreditation will help make our graduates more marketable as child care centers and schools are looking for the best-trained employees,” said Jennifer M. Johnson, head of the Early Childhood Associate Program at VGCC. “Students and

the community benefit from knowing that our instructors are providing high-quality education and meeting the demand for excellent, well-prepared teachers for our young children.” NAEYC’s Commission on Early Childhood Associate Degree Accreditation recognizes associate degree programs in colleges and universities that meet a high standard

for preparation of teachers. The accreditation system opened to public application in 2006. VGCC became one of the first 17 programs in the nation to successfully complete the initial process in 2007. A total of 69 programs are now accredited. In 2007, NAEYC’s commission wrote that VGCC’s program “is responsive to students’ needs … Program offer-

ings are flexible, student advising and support are extensive, and technology is well-supported.” The program’s field experiences are “rich and varied,” the commission noted, and the instructors “are well-qualified, good role models, and connected with the professional community.” VGCC offers an early childhood associate degree and diploma, as well as

certificates concentrating on early childhood administration, general education, infants and toddlers, family home child care, and special needs. The early childhood education programs prepare individuals to work with children from birth through age eight in diverse learning environments. For more information, contact Jennifer M. Johnson at (252) 738-3408.

staff at the celebration. In his remarks, VGCC President Randy Parker summarized the college’s history and mission. The original charter for the college, then known as Vance County Technical Institute, was issued on Sept. 4, 1969. Franklin County officially became part of the college service area in 1978. In the late 1980s, groups such as the Franklin County Economic Development Commission and the chamber of commerce began advocating for a permanent VGCC campus to be established in the county. “The first Franklin County campus opened in 1991, sharing space in the human services building in Louisburg,” Parker said. “Finally, VanceGranville had reached its long-time goal of establishing a permanent presence in each of the four counties it serves.” The Franklin Campus moved into its current facility in 1998 and has significantly

expanded since then. “This campus has succeeded in bringing quality higher education and job training to the people of Franklin County,” Parker said. He added that the Franklin County Campus is now VGCC’s fastest-growing campus in enrollment. VGCC Board of Trustees Chairman Donald Seifert Sr. of Henderson said that facilities like the Franklin Campus “are so important because they make it more convenient for everyone to access the training they need to compete in the domestic and global economy.” He said the college and its Franklin Campus are recognized as key economic development assets for the area, and are currently helping thousands of people adapt to economic challenges. The celebration included a “Student Appreciation Day” reception, complete with special 40th anniversary cakes.

VGCC recognizes adults for summer employment Vance-Granville Community College’s Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Department held a recognition ceremony and reception to honor 30 area adults who completed work experiences this summer. The summer adult employment program was made possible by Federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds, administered by the Kerr-Tar Workforce Development Board. The event was held on VGCC’s main campus on Sept. 24. This summer, the sevenweek program placed adults from Vance, Granville, Warren and Franklin counties in jobs, where they worked for a total of 196 hours. They also took a course on jobseeking skills offered by the VGCC Human Resources Development (HRD) department, and many earned the nationally-recognized career readiness certificate. “Many of our participants were recently laid off, some from jobs where they had worked for 20 years,” WIA director Sylvia Jones said. “Most gained work experience that was entirely new to them and different from what they had done before. Several became employed as a result of this program, and we are so excited about that.” Participants received certificates from VGCC WIA Supervisor/Job Developer Blondelle Edgerton, WIA educational specialist Denise

Successful participants in VGCC’s summer adult employment program included (seated from left) Chrashona Hargrove, Shirlina Burwell, Shandolyn Washington and Latasha Peace; (standing from left) VGCC Workforce Investment Act case manager Tiffany Jefferson with participants Angela Moore-Witherspoon, Sandra Thomas, Carolyn Townes and Peggy Allen.

ment of Social Services; Sheila Reid, United Way of Vance County; and Crystal Williams, Woodmont Truck Stop. Participants from Granville County included Latasha Peace, Cornerstone Christian Community Church Childcare Center; Nikki Davis, Granville

County Department of Social Services; Theodore Moody, Granville County Landfill; and Christy Alston and Bernice Altiner, both Oxford Group Home. Participants from Franklin County included Yolanda Shird, Britthaven of Louisburg; Larraine Slate, Franklin County Volunteers

in Medicine; Chase Silver and Joseph Wheless, both Franklinton Elementary School; Cheryl Taylor, Safe Space; and James Neal, The River Golf Course. Participants from Warren County included Shandolyn Washington, CC’s Showers of Distinction; Latishia Watson, South Warren Elementary School; Crystal Watson, Warren County Health Department; Cherese Logan and Angela Moore-Witherspoon, both Warren County Memorial Library; and Jasmine Dunston, Warren County Senior Center. Other participating employers included the Greater Franklin County Chamber of Commerce. Jones said the success of the program depended on local employers, and she presented them with certificates of appreciation. Jones also recognized WIA advisory board members, who helped place both adults and youth in a similar summer employment program, and Kathy Strickland, the Human Resources instructor who worked with all the participants. In her remarks, Strickland expressed admiration for the participants’ determination and willingness to take risks. Finally, VGCC Vice President of Community & Economic Development Vanessa Jones congratulated participants and encouraged them to continue to pursue education.

VGCC faculty member’s grammar book published Community college students across the South will be using a new book written by Vance-Granville Community College instructor Wendy J. Frandsen of Durham. Carolina Academic Press, based in Durham, recently published Speaking Southern, Writing English: Essential Grammar Skills, by Frandsen, who heads the English department at VGCC. The same publisher recently released the second edition of Southern Culture: An Introduction, a textbook by Frandsen, VGCC Social Sciences program head Aaron Randall, and former VGCC dean of Arts and Sciences John Beck, Ph.D. The first edition of that book, based on a course the trio developed at VGCC, was published in 2007. The premise of Speaking Southern, Writing English is that students naturally write in the dialect that is familiar to them and cannot “hear” their errors; therefore, they must learn to proofread for them. The book is intended to give students basic mastery of grammar in their own

Wendy J. Frandsen, program head and instructor of English at Vance-Granville Community College, holds a copy of her new book, Speaking Southern, Writing English. writing by giving them simple rules and practical proofreading strategies. “Most of us grow up learning the language of our families, with their dialect, expressions, and vocabularies,” Frandsen wrote in the book’s introduction. “That’s the most valuable language we have because it’s how we communicate with the most important people

in our lives — our families. We don’t ever want to forget this language. However, those aren’t the only people we want to communicate with. To be successful in school and work, you have to be able to use standard American English.” Frandsen’s new book is already being used in developmental English classes at VGCC. After earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of Tennessee, Frandsen began teaching at VGCC in 1987. She was VGCC’s Developmental Studies Program head from 1992 until 2005, when she became program head for English. “We are very proud of Ms. Frandsen and congratulate her on the publication of her newest book!” said Mike Ellis, Ph.D., VGCC’s dean of Arts and Sciences. “She is a gifted teacher and a gifted writer and has combined those talents with her more than 20 years of higher education experience to help students all over the region improve their English skills.”

Harrison Ford is getting old. Bruce Willis looks tired. Arnold Schwarzenegger has a state to run. And Hollywood doesn’t make action heroes like it used to. Shia LaBeouf? Please. At least the video-game industry is trying to pick up the slack. And in Nathan Drake, the wisecracking, globe-trotting treasure hunter at the center of “Uncharted 2: Among Thieves,” Sony has created a hero to rival Indiana Jones. Indeed, the plot of “Uncharted 2” (Sony, for the PlayStation 3, $59.99) sounds like a lost chapter from the Indiana Jones series. Drake is asked to track down an artifact connected to the explorer Marco Polo, which may lead to the discovery of the lost paradise Shambhala (aka Shangri-La). A murderous Russian warlord is in hot pursuit of the same secrets; you also have to contend with a seductive thief, a two-faced pretty boy and a relentless reporter. The journey bounces from the jungles of Borneo to the mountains of Tibet, barely catching its breath between ports of call. All the environments are jaw-droppingly vivid, but the snow-covered Himalayan

If you have to, draw a picture, write down the specs — whatever it takes to get your point across. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Relationships are a bit of a gamble now, but one thing is certain: You can’t expect to get anything if you didn’t pay in. So take the risk. Love has a better chance of thriving if you put in the time. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Something you used to care so much about is now just not very important to you. This change could be a bit of a disappointment to someone else, so be gentle in your handling of the situation. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have superior powers of communication and will be able to articulate exactly what will make you happy. And you’ll even have access to the perfect person to produce what you desire. This is a lucky day, indeed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll encounter a delightful and disruptive person who seems bent on challenging your knack for making plans. Changes and interruptions will happen time and again, leaving you scratching your head with a smile. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You might have a lengthy shopping list of wants, but you also realize that you don’t really need any of it. Knowing that you are whole without all the extras makes it all the more fun when you get them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A relationship has had its strange moments lately. Now what you want is reassurance and this person’s respect. You’ll get them by employing your usual means — praise and encouragement. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You plate is full. Between career and social obligations, you have little time for your formerly cherished activities. Lest you lose something uniquely you, make a point today to revisit one or two. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your interests aren’t what they were. Neither are your opinions. And a once-beloved hangout is visited no longer — not by you, anyway. There is solace in knowing that you are no exception to the universal constant: change. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Jokes and anecdotes aren’t really your thing. Still, a lagging conversation might inspire you to search those few old chestnuts kicking around in your head. Whatever you pull out will be fun and will probably get laughs, too. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You thought you could predict how a loved one would respond to different circumstances, but a recent episode teaches you otherwise. Part of what you enjoy about this person is that he or she never ceases to surprise you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). That guy you’ve met too many times not to remember his name keeps showing up. Nothing left to do but really try hard to commit it to memory. You can do this. Plus, it will be important someday soon.

vistas are especially gorgeous. “Uncharted 2” is one of the best-looking games on the PS3, but all its graphical splendor would be worthless without solid gameplay. Fortunately, the veteran designers at Sony’s Naughty Dog studio have blended in an impressive variety of challenges. One level may be an all-out firefight; the next, a massive, 3-D architectural maze. Some scenarios, like a race in which you have to keep jumping from jeep to jeep, are as rousing as anything in “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” None of these elements is particularly original, and other games have done them better. What makes “Uncharted 2” distinctive is the way one type of gameplay flows so seamlessly into the next. “Uncharted 2” is very linear: In any given level, there’s usually only one way to get from point A to point B. But most of the areas warrant a return visit, whether you’re looking for artifacts you may have missed the first time or challenging your friends to a round of death match. The multiplayer options are substantial, but it’s the solo campaign in “Uncharted 2” that really shines. It’s the kind of high-octane action romp Hollywood used to make. Four stars out of four.
