OXFORD — The City Commission has signed off on a list of grant requests for hundreds of thousands of dollars from the N.C. Rural Center to help pay for improving Oxford’s utilities infrastructure. The actions, which were approved Tuesday evening, came minutes after the commission officially accepted federal grant dollars for the Police Department. Specifically, the commission received $65,051 from the Justice Department so the Police Department can take full advantage of the VIPER radio network. This federal funding is significant because the police VIPER mobile radios have been ineffective inside buildings. VIPER stands for Voice Interoperability Plan for Emergency Responders. And VIPER, which is used by Granville County, is an outgrowth of statewide efforts to put emergency and law enforcement agencies on a more uniform radio network and avoid the kind of communication breakdowns experienced on Sept. 11, 2001, at the World Trade Center. The City Commission in April approved a $37,500 budget amendment as a match to a grant to fix the Police Department’s communication problem. The action was recommended by the commission’s Public Safety Committee after Chief John Wolford said the department’s conventional 800-megahertz frequency, as set up by Sprint Nextel, had continued to dete-

OXFORD — A debate featuring mayoral candiObituaries, 4A dates Steve Powell and Frank Strickland is set for 10 a.m. Tuesday at the Senior Center, with incumbent Al Woodlief saying he will not be present because “I have nothing to debate with either one of these recycled paper. men.”

Woodlief, in e-mail correspondence with the Dispatch late last week, added, “As for Mr. Powell, with nearly four years as (a) commissioner, it is my opinion he has not demonstrated any leadership ability in his position as chairman of the Recreation Committee and would not be an experienced candidate to entertain within a debate.”

Powell, when contacted by the Dispatch and asked about Woodlief’s remark about his alleged lack of performance as the Recreation Committee chairman, said, “It’s definitely incorrect.” “I am complemented by the fact that he’s making negative statements about me because that means Please see DEBATE, page 3A

Sheriff White speaks to Character Education Assembly Vance County Sheriff Peter White spoke to the entire student body and staff at Aycock Elementary School on Oct. 7, during the school’s Character Education Assembly. White spoke for a few minutes to the students about displaying the positive character traits of respect and responsibility. “You must remember to always make the right decisions,” he said. “There are consequences for what you do.

Woodlief, when approached by the Dispatch after the forum, said, “There’s nothing to debate with him (Strickland).” Powell, when approached by the Dispatch moments later, said that, “I would be willing to debate them” and that, “If it’s not a three-way debate, it’s not fair, you know, because then one person is knocking off the other.” Powell, when told by the Dispatch after the forum that Woodlief did not feel there was anything to debate with Strickland, replied, “Well, that means he discounted me. So, that’s not a good thing, either.” Powell told the Dispatch late last week of Tuesday’s upcoming debate, “Well, I didn’t have any reason not to participate. I think it’s an opportunity for people to hear directly from a candidate and maybe get an insight on who I really am as opposed to things they may have heard or been told. They get an opportunity to interface with me directly. And I think that’s helpful for me.” Strickland told the Dispatch in e-mail correspon-

Senior Center Director Kathy May told the Dispatch the reason for the debate is because several senior citizens wanted to meet all of the candidates and obtain more information. May said the problem is the center would have had space issues had the center additionally hosted the candidates for the City Commission, so the center decided to invite only the candidates for mayor. In addition to Powell, Commissioners Paul Kiesow, Bob Shope and Chance Wilkinson are not seeking re-election to their positions. And 13 candidates are seeking election to those four positions. May said the moderator will be Doan Laursen, who retired from Carolina Power & Light two decades ago and who now owns Goose River Farm. As for the format, May said, “I have asked our senior adults (some are politically savvy, some are not) to submit questions to ask the candidates. The moderator will ask each candidate the same question and give each one three minutes to answer. Then each candidate will have one additional minute if needed for rebuttal.” May said Helen Amis, who is chairwoman of the Senior Services Advisory Committee, will serve as the timekeeper.

dence late last week that, “I feel that I have an obligation to follow through with Powell my challenge and debate Commissioner Powell. The mayor and I have had some big differences on a lot of Strickland issues and he does not want to answer those issues in a public setting.” Woodlief, a retired radio broadcaster, was a commissioner for 14 years prior to being elected mayor in 2001. Woodlief, in his e-mail to the Dispatch late last week, said, “My office and actions have spoken for themselves.” “If there were any real issues, then that would be a different story,” Woodlief said. “Mr. Strickland has only one agenda and I won’t even entertain that with a comment. “I hope the voters can see, hear and question what the alternatives are compared to my proven leadership and re-elect me as their mayor,” Woodlief said. And Woodlief added “there is no way either candidate is qualified to be mayor.” The senior center is located at 120 Orange St. and just southwest of the central business district.

that there’s a concern,” Powell said. “If I were a non-entity, he would say nothing about me. But, the fact that he takes time to put time on me, I am complemented by that and encouraged.” Powell, an educator who is completing his first term on the seven-man commission, had at the end of July withdrawn his candidacy for re-election, but at the start of this month decided to enter the contest for mayor as a write-in candidate. The municipal election is Nov. 3. Quon Bridges had held the Recreation Committee chairmanship before being appointed to a judgeship by then-Gov. Mike Easley in September 2007. Oxford’s government relies on a commission committee system to work with each department head and iron out details prior to regular monthly commission meetings. The mayor, who serves a two-year term, names each committee chairman and each committee member. Strickland, who is chief of campus police at Meredith College, opposed Woodlief in the 2005 and 2007 contests. Strickland has repeatedly called for Woodlief’s resignation and has said he believes Woodlief has lied to cover up for alleged misconduct by Police Chief John Wolford. Strickland in 2007 unsuccessfully called for a debate with Woodlief. And Strickland called

FUNDS, from page one riorate, with police officers, on a daily basis, having to switch to the Fire Department’s channel. To acquire the equipment needed to correct the situation, the county’s emergency management office wrote a grant request on the city’s behalf for $150,000 and the state was going to pay the match but backed out. Mayor Al Woodlief in April said Oxford was eligible to seek $65,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funds, more commonly known as the federal stimulus effort to help jump start the weak national economy. And Woodlief said he believed some of the $37,500 could be pulled from the $65,000. City officials on Tuesday additionally said the more than $65,000 grant will help pay for a video-digital analysis and editing system to enhance the Police Department’s ability to identify suspects and illegal activity and for four tactical-type weapons to increase capabilities in dealing with armed conflicts and potentially high-risk situations. Woodlief noted this grant marks the only time Oxford has received money as a result of the stimulus package. “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth,” Commissioner Chance Wilkinson said with a laugh. “No, we’re not,” Woodlief quickly replied, noting

The next one is an application for a $500,000 supplemental grant from the Rural Center, meaning this would be a $1 million package if the grant is approved. And if the grant is approved, then city’s part would also be paid for with water funds. And the city is applying for a $450,000 grant from the Rural Center to rehabilitate sewer lines downstream of presently funded projects. The request is being made based on a recently completed municipal study of inflow and infiltration of the lines, with the city to provide $225,000, also from water funds, if the grant is approved. The Rural Center helps develop economic strategies to improve the quality of life in the Tar Heel State. Among other items of business on Tuesday evening, the commission approved directing City Clerk Donna Hosch to investigate a petition for annexation by Dale Cates, who owns property at 1020 Lewis St. Access to sewer and water services are being provided, but will be terminated if annexation does not occur within four months, city officials said. City Planning Director Cheryl Hart is recommending adopting the request.

Oxford is looking for more money. Commissioner Bob Shope wanted to know what would happen to the old radios. Wolford told Shope he is not yet certain, but is looking into whether the Police Department can get anything on a trade-in. “We’re not getting much in terms of positive feedback on that, so we’re still working on it,” Wolford said, noting some of the old radios will be kept for other purposes. Woodlief quickly noted that the old radios can be used by street and water crews. And on Tuesday evening the commission approved formally receiving a Justice Department grant of $15,809. The funding will be used to purchase a portable alarm system and transmitter to aid in responding to burglaries and for the suppression of gang activities. “Well, this is the same gift horse,” Mayor Pro Tem and Public Safety Committee Chairman Howard Herring said. “And I think we need to ride it.” Regarding the requests for funding from the N.C. Rural Center, the first one would be to determine what sewer lines are the best candidates for rehabilitation. This is a 50-50 match, with the city to commit $25,000 in water funds if the grant is approved.

Union Bank posts 3rd quarter profits OXFORD — Union Back & Trust, a community bank based in Oxford, showed earnings of $238,439 for the third quarter ending Sept.30. Earnings for the first nine months of 2009 cumulate a loss of only $38,427. The bank has been profitable for four of the past five months, and Union Bank president Thomas Combs said that projections point toward profitability for the year with another solid fourth quarter. “We’re always careful in using forward-looking terms,” Combs said, “but we believe we have a good grasp of the current envrionment and we have good reason to believe that this will be our first profitable year.” Union Bank opened in April 2006 in downtown Oxford, then quickly opened branches in Louisburg, Henderon, and Youngsville, as well as a Loan Production Office in Roxboro. Building offices, hiring appropriate staff, adding the costs of technology and furnishings, and entering new markets all affected earnings. “We would have been profitable sooner,” Combs said, “but we held to our business plan, we moved into sensible markets, and we were able to hire the best in each market. That comes at a cost, but those results are now evident. We are positioned well for many years to come.” Assests at the end of the third quarter showed Union Bank at $178.7 million, which exceeds original expectations. Loans as of Sept. 30 were $134.8 million and deposits were at $149.9 million. That compares to loans of $102.2 million and deposits of $94.4 million at the same time last year. The bank’s profits of $238,439 for the third quarter are a major turnaround, compared to a loss of $366,888 at the end of the third quarter a year ago. “These are difficult times in the banking industry,” Combs said. “We feel that our story is much different. We believe we have been successful by pacing ourselves and by being very careful in bringing in good quality loans.”

Combs provided another insight behind the profitability and growth. “We have set out to be a community bank,” Combs said. “We have been a good corporate citizen in each of our markets. We have supported our communities, and in turn our communities have supported us. There is nothing more satisfying than knowing that we succeed based on the acceptance of our communities. We intend to always keep that in mind and while good growth is always ambitious, we plan to never outgrow the communities who helped us get started.” Union Bank Board Chairman Stan Fox said, “We have strongly supported the management team of this bank and allowed the officers to do thier jobs. Our board commends them for a job well done. We knew that going to so many markets at the beginning would delay our profitability, but we always knew it was coming.” For more information about Union Bank & Trust, its locations, officers, or available shares, call (919) 603-5030, or visit offices in Oxford, Louisburg, Henderson, or Youngsville.

‘Kabuto’ for Toyota Southeast Toyota Distributors presented Toyota of Henderson and its owner, Dave Genetti, with the “Kabuto” helmet in recognition of his new facility at 205 Toyota Lane off Ruin Creek Road in Henderson. Nearly a dozen representatives of Southeast — in addition to more than 100 area citizens — were present for a grand opening celebration on Friday. Genetti, left, stands with Craig Pollock, group vice president for Southeast, as the helmet sits on display on the table in front of them. According to legend, 800 years ago, Samurai warriors went into battle wearing the helmet, “a symbol of the soul, spirit and strength of a great Japanese fighter.” Today, Pollock said, the Kabuto symbolizes the strength, quality and integrity of the Toyota automobile dealer. Shown watching in the foreground are, left, Darcy Keeton, receptionist, and Genetti’s nine-year-old son, Ross. The new dealership has more than doubled in size with nearly three times the previous inventory in its old location on Raleigh Road.

N.C. firm studying barge emissions MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Pollution from tanker barges on the Mississippi River is being studied under a $230,000 federal grant. Arcadis, a North Carolina firm, is doing the research using lasers, an infrared camera and other remote-sensing equipment to gauge how much pollution is emitted. In particular, workers are looking for the volatile organic compounds that contribute to the Memphis area’s ozone-pollution problem.

VOCs, as they’re called, react with other pollutants in the presence of sunlight to form ozone, a lung-scarring pollutant that must be more tightly controlled if the Memphis area is to meet the stricter standards planned by the federal government. Tankers, which typically haul petroleum and chemical products, represent one of the last remaining sources of ozone-causing pollution that regulators believe can be significantly reduced.

News Briefs U.S. woman, 89, honored for saving Jews in WWII NEW YORK (AP) — A human rights group is honoring an 89-year-old New York woman who hid more than 100 Jews in Amsterdam during World War II — not far from Anne Frank’s house. Retired psychiatrist Tina Strobos will be at Monday’s ceremony hosted by the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center in Westchester County, The New York Times reported. Strobos was a medical student when she risked her life to hide Jews in the home she and her mother shared. The fugitives lived in a secret compartment near the attic. Strobos also took ration stamps by bicycle to Jews hiding at farms and hid guns for the Dutch resistance. She was repeatedly stopped and questioned by the Nazis. But she says it was “the right thing to do.”

Priest to auction family silver for homeless shelter GREEN BAY, Wisc. (AP) — A Wisconsin priest is auctioning off his late mother’s collection of old silver pieces to raise money for a homeless shelter. The Rev. Guy Blair donated 14 silver items, including five sugar urns dating back to the 1790s. Other pieces include vases and coffee and tea pots. Tim Rigdon, a director at Heritage Auctions, says the sum of the items’ mini-

Williamsburg offers eMuseum WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — Colonial Williamsburg’s collection of historic pieces is going high-tech. The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is making images, descriptions and object histories of all 60,000 of its pieces available on the Web in a new eMuseum. So far, about 3,200 objects are available with more being added monthly. Officials say its the latest attempt to make the collections broadly accessible for scholars, historians, collectors and the general public. The eMuseum allows Colonial Williamsburg to show off portions of its collections that are too fragile or light-sensitive for frequent exhibition. Online visitors will be able to search the database by object maker, material, date or type, among other categories.

Man convicted for organizing boat trip from Cuba KEY WEST, FlA. (AP) — A Miami-Dade County

man is facing up to life in prison after being convicted of charges that he helped organize and outfit a human smuggling trip in which a Cuban boy died. A jury convicted Carlos Manuel Reyes on Thursday after a two-day federal trial in Key West. The U.S. Coast Guard intercepted the go-fast boat with 29 Cuban nationals on board on Oct. 13, 2005. As the Coast Guard pursued it, the smaller vessel capsized and trapped 6-year-old Julian Villasuso beneath it. The boat’s two captains pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit alien smuggling. Each was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Reyes’ sentencing is scheduled for January. Defense attorney Roy Kahn said Saturday that Reyes maintains that he didn’t organize the trip. Kahn says Reyes will appeal.

Town uses goats to clear meadow, save a buck ANDOVER, Mass. (AP) — A Boston suburb has some new landscapers that will work for food — a half-dozen goats clearing and maintaining an overgrown public meadow. Under a pilot program in Andover, Lucy McKain’s dairy goats will rotate their grazing around the meadow for an all-you-caneat buffet of grass, brush and other growth. The goats can clear as much as a half acre every three days at no cost. The fact it’s free is important to Andover officials, since money is tight and they couldn’t afford the heavy equipment, fuel and labor needed to clean

up the meadow. Plus, goat landscaping is environmentally friendly. If the program is a success, Andover officials want to make more public parkland available to other grazing animals.

The U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, has recommended from as many as 80,000 more troops to as few as 10,000 for the war in Afghanistan — but favors a compromise of 40,000 more forces. Such additional forces would not be deployed until early next year at the soonest, and it is not clear how they would be fully compiled. Obama has said he would make up his mind on additional troops in the coming weeks, and no announcement is expected before November. HOME DELIVERY only $12.50 a month. Call today. 436-2800.

Sheriff: Charges will be filed in balloon saga Parents spoke voluntarily to authorities and are not under arrest By DAN ELLIOTT Associated Press Writer

AP Photo/Gemunu Amarasinghe

Worship of dogs

Nepalese police officer and dog handler Padam Gurung and his dog pose for a photograph Saturday at a police kennel in Katmandu, Nepal, during celebrations for the Tihar festival. Nepalese are marking the five-day long festival of Tihar; celebrations on Saturday were dedicated to the worship of dogs.

Lawyer: Polanski undergoing medical tests PARIS (AP) — One of Roman Polanski’s lawyers says the jailed filmmaker is undergoing medical tests, though his current condition “is not of exceptional gravity.” Herve Temime told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that after Saturday’s tests Polanski would return to the Swiss prison where he is being held on a U.S. arrest warrant for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977.

The Paris-based lawyer declined to say what kind of exams Polanski had undergone or where they were administered. Swiss tabloid newspaper Blick printed pictures Saturday of a van it said had whisked the director from the prison the northeastern city of Winterthur to an unnamed Zurich hospital. Polanski has been in custody since late September.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — A sheriff said Saturday that his office will file criminal charges in the case of a 6-yearold boy who vanished into the rafters of his garage while the world thought he was zooming through the sky in a flying saucer-like helium balloon. After the boy’s parents, Richard and Mayumi Heene, met with sheriff’s officials for much of the afternoon, Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden didn’t say who would be charged or what the charges would be, but he did say the parents spoke to investigators voluntarily and weren’t under arrest. Alderden previously said that if the balloon ordeal was a hoax, the parents could be charged with making a false report to authorities, a low-level misdemeanor. “We were looking at Class 3 misdemeanor, which hardly seems serious enough given the circumstances,” Alderden said Saturday. “We are talking to the district attorney, federal officials to see if perhaps there aren’t additional

federal charges that are appropriate in this circumstance.” He said deputies were seeking a search warrant for the family’s home, and there would be more information at a news conference today. The Heenes were expected to speak to reporters outside their home later Saturday, after a strange day that began with Richard Heene knocking on the windows of journalists camped outside his home and promising a “big announcement.” A few hours later, he did an about-face when he told reporters that they should leave questions in a cardboard box on the front doorstep. While Richard and Mayumi Heene were at the sheriff’s office, the couple’s three sons remained home, apparently being watched by sheriff’s officials. Authorities wouldn’t comment on what was happening. Alderden had said that he wanted to re-interview the family after Falcon told CNN that “you said we did this for a show” when asked why he didn’t come out of his hiding place. Then Falcon got sick during two separate TV interviews when asked why he hid.

The balloon was supposed to be tethered to the ground when it lifted off, and no one was supposed to be aboard. A video of the launch shows the family counting down in unison, “3, 2, 1,” before Richard Heene pulls a cord, setting the balloon into the air. “Whoa!” one of the boys exclaims. Then his father says in disbelief, “Oh, my God!” He then says to someone, “You didn’t put the (expletive) tether down!” and he kicks the wood frame that had held the balloon. Falcon’s brother said he saw him inside the compartment before it took off and that’s why they thought he was in there when it launched. Heene said he had yelled at Falcon before the launch for getting inside. Alderden said earlier that he thinks it’s likely that Falcon ran off because he was scared of getting in trouble, later falling asleep in his hiding spot. He said he doubted that such a hyperactive boy could be ordered to stay quiet for the five hours he was missing. Over the years, Richard Heene has worked as a storm chaser, a handyman and contractor, and an aspiring realityTV star.

SHOW, SHINE, from page one Wichita, Kan. Not far away, Petie Eavers displayed his Chevy Twister, a restored 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air. Eavers will be at the East Coast Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, to be held on Sunday afternoon at the Vance-Granville Community College Civic Center. On Williams Street, Mac Renn, of Bobbitt Road in Kittrell, stood beside his 1949 Corbitt Truck. Renn is vicepresident of the Corbitt Preservation Association. He told the Dispatch that it took him about three years to restore the truck, with assistance from Bill Hight, William Hardee and Bobby Dick, as well has his wife Robin and son Andy. Spectators came from distant places and from around the corner. Steve Zerbe of Cherry Hill, N.J., came equipped with camera to take back some of his memories. He said he is a drag racing fan and a Civil War buff. After enjoying the car show, he will head for the Guilford Courthouse Battlefield to indulge

that other interest. Pete Menikos, who works locally for Harper Prints, told the Dispatch that he attends the car show every year. His interest stems from the 1975 Dodge Charger that he once owned. James and Rhonda Bundy of Goldsboro ducked into the Bull Pen Bar & Grill to warm up and get a bite to eat. He has a 1968 Chevrolet Nova and a 1966 Chevrolet Suburban, which he is restoring. He said he hopes to have the Nova ready for the Car Show next year. The Bull Pen appeared to attract customers with its breakfast menu and lunch specials. Kenny Thompson of Sanford sat at the counter and commented on the number and variety of cars on display. Vendors representing Iron Gate Vineyards and Chatham Hill Winery occupied adjoining spaces on Garnett Street and offered samples of their wines. Debbie Stikeleather of Iron Gate said they are working to get supermarkets to sell their wines. Iron Gate is located near

Mebane; Chatham Hill is in Raleigh. Vendors of homemade sherbet and ice cream floats said they were waiting for the sun to warm spectators to increase demand for the products. Richard “Peanut” Sanford, who operates Oxford Road 66, looked over the cars on display with the eye of an expert at keeping old cars running. A couple of years ago, he repaired a 1985 Oldsmobile station wagon owned by the Daily Dispatch reporter by creating parts that were no longer available. James Alston, of the Flint Hill neighborhood, replied, “I wish I did,” when asked if he owned one of the cars on display. He added, “It’s a good show, a very good show.” Gracie Scales, of Thurston Street in Henderson, summed up the car show this way: “It’s interesting, marvelous to see them taking things and preserving them.” Contact the writer at dirvine@hendersondispatch.com.

Offensive begins in al-Qaida haven Pakistan asking more U.S. help against militants Featured Doctor

By ISHTIAQ MAHSUD and MUNIR AHMAD Associated Press Writers

Philip D. Meador, MD

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan — More than 30,000 Pakistani soldiers launched a ground offensive against al-Qaida and the Taliban’s main stronghold along the Afghan border Saturday, officials said, in the country’s toughest test yet against a strengthening insurgency. The United States has long pushed the government to carry out an assault in South Waziristan, and it comes after two weeks of militant attacks that have killed more than 175 people across the nuclear-armed country. That has ramped up pressure on the army to act. Pakistan has fought three unsuccessful campaigns since 2001 in the region, which is the nerve-center for Pakistani insurgents fighting the U.S.-backed government. It is also a major base for foreign militants to plan attacks on American and NATO forces in Afghanistan and on targets in the West. After months of aerial bombing, troops moved into the region Saturday from several directions, heading to the insurgent bases of Ladha and Makeen among other targets, intelligence and military officials said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic or because they were not allowed to brief the media. At least 11 suspected insurgents were killed in the jet bombings, while a bomb hit a security convoy, killing one soldier and wounding three others, two local intelligence officials said. A military statement Saturday evening said four soldiers were killed and 12 wounded in exchanges of fire elsewhere in the region. The army has deployed more than 30,000 troops to the region, said one of the intelligence officials. The military already has said it has sealed off many supply and escape routes and has been trying to secure the support of local tribes-

Pakistan Army troops prepare Saturday to leave for patrolling during a curfew in Bannu, a town on the edge of Pakistan’s lawless tribal belt Waziristan. More than 30,000 Pakistani soldiers launched a much-awaited ground offensive in an al-Qaida and Taliban stronghold of South Waziristan along the Afghan border, officials told The Associated Press — the nucleararmed U.S. ally’s toughest test yet against militants aiming to topple the state. men in the fight. Recent opinion polls show broad support for military action against the militants, a change from a few years ago. There is also political backing for action. Speaking earlier in the week, army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas said the assault would be limited to slain Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud’s holdings — a swath of territory that stretches roughly 1,275 square miles. That portion covers about half of South Waziristan, which itself is slightly larger than the U.S. state of Delaware. The plan is to capture and hold the area where Abbas estimates 10,000 insurgents are headquartered and reinforced with about 1,500 foreign fighters, most of them of Central Asian origin. “There are Arabs, but the Arabs are basically in

the leadership, providing resources and expertise and in the role of trainers,” he said. Since 2001, the army’s three attempts to dislodge Taliban fighters from South Waziristan have ended in truces that left the Taliban in control. This time the military has said there will be no deals, partly to avoid jeopardizing gains won earlier this year when Pakistani soldiers overpowered the Taliban in the Swat Valley, another northwestern region. Despite sometimes rocky relations with the Pakistani military, the U.S. is trying to rush in equipment for the offensive that would help with mobility, night fighting and precision bombing, a U.S. Embassy official told The Associated Press in a recent interview, speaking on condition of anonymity because the issue is politi-

cally sensitive. In addition to night-vision devices, the Pakistan military has said it is seeking additional Cobra helicopter gunships, heliborne lift capability, laser-guided munitions and intelligence equipment to monitor cell and satellite telephones. Even if the operation is successful in South Waziristan, many of the militants could escape to Afghanistan or other parts of Pakistan’s semiautonomous tribal belt. Few analysts expect that by itself it will turn the tide in the country’s war against militants. The army has considered the upcoming winter weather in the timing the offensive. Snows in the region could block major roads. At the same time, it could also work to the army’s advantage by driving fighters out of their unheated mountain hideouts.

Healthy Moment

Sunscreen in the Fall & Winter? Now that fall has come and winter will soon be upon us, it is important to remind everyone of the need to wear sunscreen year-round. The ultraviolet spectrum of sunlight that causes sunburn and contributes to skin damage is still present in the cooler months. Obviously, the cooler months mean less exposed skin, but our faces and hands still receive lots of sunlight. This is especially true when we are out in the snow, which has an almost magnifying way of intensifying the sun’s rays. If these rays are not kept out by sunscreens or one’s natural tan, the elastic ﬁbers of the skin are damaged and a person develops wrinkled and sagging skin. This damage accumulates over the years of carefree sun exposure. Besides damaging the elastic ﬁbers, sunlight also causes skin cancers. These also occur in proportion to how much sunlight you get over the years and your skin type. Severe burns directly increase the chance of developing melanoma, a form of skin cancer. So experts advise everyone to wear sunscreen all year long -- even during winter when you think you may not need it.

Keeping you informed....

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 get 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. The best way to avoid catching the flu is to use good flu hygiene – remember to cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze, wash your hands frequently and avoid close contact with those who have cold and flu-like symptoms.

North Korea has six political prison camps South Korean lawmaker also says there are 154,000 prisoners By KWANG-TAE KIM Associated Press Writer

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea is estimated to be holding some 154,000 political prisoners in six large camps across the country, a South Korean lawmaker said Saturday. North Korean political prisoners are sent to the camps without trial and are condemned to life in prison in five of them, despite the North’s new constitution calling for respecting human rights, Yoon Sang-hyun, a lawmaker with the ruling Grand National Party, said in a statement. The six camps are for political prisoners and are in addition to prisons for people who commit crimes such as murder and robbery. Prisoners are forced to toil for more than 10 hours a day, are fed a poor diet and do not receive medical aid. They are also banned from communicating with their families while in prison, Yoon said in the statement.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Il wields absolute power in the communist state of 24 million people and allegedly inmates cannot be executed without Kim’s knowledge or direction, activists say. North Korea has long had one of the world’s worst human rights records, but rejects outside criticism on its alleged human rights abuses and the existence of gulags, denouncing it as part of a U.S. attempt to overthrow its regime. But in April, the North revised its constitution to say the state “respects and protects” human rights, according to South Korea’s Unification Ministry, which handles North Korean relations. Activists, however, say the North’s abuses on its citizens remain unchanged. Yoon said in his statement that North Korea held some 200,000 political prisoners in 10 camps into the 1990s, but it closed four of them in the late 1990s in response to con-

demnation by the international community. Yoon’s aide said his office got the figures and other information on prison camps from the South Korean government as part of ongoing annual parliamentary inspections of the government ministries and agencies. He did not say how the South Korean government obtained the information. Offenses meriting banishment to a prison camp include everything from disparaging leader Kim Jong Il to trying to flee the country, defectors and prison survivors say. “North Korea perpetrates various crimes against humanity, including public executions, tortures or rapes, against those who try to escape,” Yoon said, citing the government’s information. Under a decade of liberal rule, South Korea

had failed to publicly raise human rights problems in North Korea out of concern its criticism would anger Pyongyang and complicate reconciliation between the countries that still remain technically at war. The two Koreas embarked on unprecedented rapprochement after their leaders met for their firstever summit in 2000 and a second summit in 2007. But Seoul has changed its approach to North Korea since last year when conservative President Lee Myung-bak took office with a pledge not to shy away from criticizing North Korea’s authoritarian regime.

BEIJING (AP) — The founder of a Chinese group that challenged Communist rule with a call for multiparty democracy has been sentenced to 10 years in prison, a human rights group said Saturday. Former university professor and judge Guo Quan was sentenced for “subversion of state power” by a court in eastern Jiangsu Province on Friday, the New York-based group Human Rights in China said in a statement. Guo had been detained numerous times since 2007, when he founded the China New Democracy Party, which he claimed had 40 million members. He was arrested in Nanjing, the provincial capital, last November. His wife told The Associated Press at the time that Guo was taken after dropping his son off at school. His sentencing comes ahead of President Barack Obama’s visit to China in mid-November. China’s Communist Party has never allowed a serious challenge to single-party rule. While other political parties exist, they are not allowed to wield real power. Guo’s lawyer has said Guo was accused of forming an illegal group, recruiting members and publishing

articles on the Internet to “overthrow the socialist system in the name of helping the weak.” A former associate professor at Nanjing Normal University and a former judge in Nanjing, he started publishing articles online in 2007 advocating a multiparty democratic system with elections. He addressed them to Chinese President Hu Jintao and Wang Bangguo, China’s chief legislator, Human Rights in China said. Guo was later fired by his university, Human Rights in China said. Human rights groups say the charge of “subversion of state power” has been regularly used to curb freedom of expression in China. “This sentence is indefensible from a legal perspective, because using peaceful and rational means to petition cannot be considered subversion of state power,” Guo’s lawyer, Guo Lianhui, told Human Rights in China. “Subversion of state power can only be achieved by armed insurrection.” Human Rights in China said the time between Guo’s trial in early August and the verdict exceeded the oneand-a-half month time limit for a court to conclude a case according to the Criminal Procedure Law.

Somali pirates hijack Singapore-flagged ship NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — European Union naval officials say Somali pirates have hijacked a Singaporeflagged container ship. A statement on the Web site of the EU anti-piracy force says the Kota Wajar was seized early Thursday in the Indian Ocean about 300 miles north of the Seychelles islands. The statement says coalition forces sent an

aircraft to investigate. It was not immediately clear how many crew were onboard or what their nationalities were. Calls to naval officials went unanswered on Saturday. Somalia has been ravaged by violence and anarchy since 1991 and piracy has flourished off its coast, making the Gulf of Aden one of the most dangerous waterways in the world.

Daily Meditation Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. … Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.

Our Opinion

Marriage isn’t anyone else’s call to make You wouldn’t think it possible in 2009, but it happened. A Louisiana justice of the peace recently refused to issue a marriage license to a couple because the prospective husband and wife were not of the same race. The justice of the peace, Keith Bardwell of Tangipahoa Parish, says he isn’t racist. “I do ceremonies for black couples right here in my house,” he insists. But he claimed his refusal was based on a poor record of interracial couples at staying wed. And he worried about the children. “I don’t do interracial marriages because I don’t want to put children in a situation they didn’t bring on themselves,” Bardwell said. “In my heart, I feel the children will later suffer.” Considering roughly half of all U.S. marriages end in divorce, does Bardwell have any actual evidence that interracial couples fare worse? And even if he did, so what? If statistics showed that couples who have a height difference of more than — oh, let’s arbitrarily say seven inches — get divorced at a higher rate than couples who are closer in height, should they be refused marriage licenses? You know, for the sake of the children. Not knowing Bardwell personally, we won’t suggest that he is racist based on this one incident. Way out of line? Absolutely. Any couple who comes before the justice of the peace and fulfills all legal requirements of marriage — age, proof of divorce if necessary, etc. — should be granted a license. Marriage isn’t baseball. There are no judgment calls on the part of the officials.

Quotable “My dad said he’s tired of this show.” — Ryo Heene, son of Richard Heene, who declined further interviews after facing reporters’ questions of whether the scare over another son thought to have floated away in a helium balloon was a hoax. “Perhaps he’s worried the kids will grow up and be president.” — Bill Quigley, director of the Center for Constitutional Rights and Justice, on a Louisiana justice of the peace who refuses to marry interracial couples. President Barack Obama is the son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas. “To say he is a homicidal maniac misses the point. He is someone who could not live with 4 million people in bondage and had to do something about it.” — Kerry Altenbernd, a law librarian from Lawrence, Kan., one of those who marched in the footsteps of radical abolitionist John Brown 150 years after he launched the raid that kindled the Civil War.

Eat all that you can eat This column was originally published Aug.18, 2002.

The U.S. Army is developing a new Combat Sandwich. Really. Army food technicians say this sandwich can remain edible, without refrigeration, for three years. Granted, that’s nowhere near the staying power of those $4.50 hot dogs they sell at airports, some of which have been rotating on their grills since the Lindbergh flight. But it’s still impressive. I recently had an opportunity to field-test the new Combat Sandwich, and will give you my review once I get my new artificial stomach. No, seriously, I’m fine, and my review will follow this informative HISTORY OF MILITARY FOOD: The legendary French general Napoleon “Bone” Aparte once observed that “an army marches on its stomach.” Of course, Napoleon was talking about French soldiers, who drank large quantities of wine and thus often could not march on their actual feet (“Forward … CRAWL!”). In battle, they routinely shot at their own artillery to make it shut up so they could sleep. But the point is that food is vital for soldiers. The ancient Romans knew this: No matter how far their soldiers

ventured from Rome, they knew that, come dinnertime, the Domino’s delivery chariot would come thundering into camp, driven by a man who knew that if he was more than 30 minutes late, he’d be disemDave boweled. Barry By the Tribune Media American Services Civil War, the military had developed a ration called “hardtack,” which was similar to plywood but not as tender. The advantage of hardtack was that it did not spoil, so if soldiers were pinned down on the battlefield, unable to get supplies, they could simply reach into their knapsacks, pull out their hardtack and throw it at the enemy. In World War II, the Army developed “K-rations,” which were critical to the outcome of the war, because the Allied soldiers knew that if they won, they would no longer have to eat K-rations. After the war, tons of leftover Krations were given to starving war refugees, who gave them back. Today they are used primarily in road construction

and fruitcake. During the Cold War, there was a fierce competition between the United States and the Soviet Union to gain superiority in the field of military food. This culminated in the Red Army’s development of the legendary “Big Ivan” Tactical Assault Sausage, which was the size of a subway car and theoretically could feed one infantryman for 400 years. In 1987, a dozen of these babies were dropped from bombers to Soviet troops in Afghanistan; shortly thereafter, communism collapsed. So food has played a vital role in military history, which is why the Army’s new Combat Sandwich is so exciting. When I heard about it, I asked the Army to send me one, and the Army graciously sent me two: one barbecued chicken, and one pepperoni, both wrapped in brown military foil packets that you need a bayonet to open. I field-tested these sandwiches on a Florida beach, where the harsh battlefieldstyle conditions included heat, sand and a large pink man walking around in a tiny red thong. If anything is going to ruin a person’s appetite for a sandwich, it is suddenly finding yourself face to face with the flagrant crevasse that this man was sporting.

But even under these conditions, the Combat Sandwich held up well. It’s a “pocket” style sandwich, which means it looks as if it has spent time in somebody’s pocket. But I thought it was quite tasty, in a spicy way. Of course, I think everything is tasty, including cold cuts so old that when you try to take them out of the refrigerator, they skitter away on little mold legs and hide behind the beer. I will eat food with an expiration date written in Roman numerals. So I gave a few bites of Combat Sandwich to my wife, who’s very strict about food freshness, always rooting through the refrigerator and throwing out pieces of pizza that, in my opinion, still have years of service left. She actually liked the Combat Sandwich. So did my motherin-law, who is picky about most things, although she has graciously made an exception in my case. In conclusion, the Combat Sandwich is a strong addition to our nation’s combatfood arsenal. It is a tribute to the men and women who devised it, and the courageous barbecued chickens and pepperonis who gave their lives to make it possible. I know I speak on behalf of a grateful nation when I say: What’s for dessert?

Letters to the Editor Face don’t matter to water-pushers To the editor: According to the Sept. 25 Daily Dispatch, our county commissioners are going ahead with a water system. I guess truth, facts, and fraudulent elections don’t seem to matter. The last citizen’s advisory committee appointed by the commissioners studied the issue of countywide zoning. It met over several months, investigating the proposed zoning ordinance, the concept of zoning, the effects of zoning, and the realities of zoning. After having done what advisory committees are suppose to do, it told the commissioners the truth, that countywide zoning was not wanted, needed or advisable. no faith at all.

Legal argument, common sense collide in courtroom Christmas is probably unconstitutional. I’m no lawyer, but the logic seems unassailable to me. Consider: Santa Claus aside, Christmas is an explicitly Christian holiday and the only holiday of any religion to be observed by the federal government. Which would seem to violate the First Amendment edict that Congress “shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” Yet to the best of my admittedly limited knowledge, no one has ever sued Christmas before the Supreme Court. Not that I’m trying to give any ideas. No, I’m only trying to tease out an opinion I can live with in a case the court heard last week, about a cross in the Mojave Desert. The original cross (it has been replaced a number of times over the years) was erected in 1934 as a tribute to the dead of World War I and sits in a remote corner of what is now the Mojave National Preserve. Its legal troubles began 10 years ago with a former employee of the National Park Service who sued because he thought the cross an improper display on federal land in that it celebrated one faith over others. It’s a contention Justice Antonin Scalia sharply disputed last week. “It’s erected as a war memorial,” he said. “I assume it is erected in honor of all the war dead.” To which Peter Eliasberg, a lawyer representing the American Civil Liberties Union shot back: “I have been in Jewish cemeteries. There is never a

cross on a tombstone of a Jew.” Scalia was unconvinced: “I don’t think you can leap from that to the conclusion that the only war dead that the cross honors are the Christian war dead. I think that’s an outrageous conclusion.” But Eliasberg’s conclusion was, of Leonard course, perPitts fectly valid Distributed by Cagle Cartoons

and Scalia’s obstinate insistence that the cross is a generic symbol manages to simultaneously demean Christianity and deftly illustrate the sort of bullying the Constitution discourages. How easily and readily the majority embraces the myopic view that its symbols and norms represent us all. That said, I keep wondering what good can come of this. The plaintiff is said to be a devout Catholic, so we can take it on — ahem — faith that he is motivated solely by principle. For the record, the principle is one I support. You need only look at Iran to know the separation of church and state is a good thing. You do not post the Ten Commandments in court for the same reason you do not mandate prayer in schools or require Bible study to get a job: there is a coercive effect that is wholly unfair to those of other faiths or

LETTERS, from page twelve Believers, avoid the practices of unbelievers To the editor: Believers today must be careful not to threaten their walk with God by taking on the practices of unbelievers. Because of our open climate, as a nation, we have many pagan religions and cultural influences that challenge the Christian faith. Businesses and governments are often based on greed, money and power. We are to live according to the values Christ exemplified: service, giving, self-sacrifice, obedience, and truth. “And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.” Colossians 2:4 A teaching contrary to biblical doctrine. “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 2:8 Paul writes against any philosophy of life based only on human ideas and experiences. Paul himself was a gifted philosopher, so he is not condemning philosophy. He is condemning teaching that credits humanity, not Christ, with being the answer to life’s problems. That approach become a false religion. The way to resist heresy is not to quit using your mind, but to study God’s Word and keep your eyes on Christ. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hat chosen for his own inheritance.” Psalm 33:12 Leaders profoundly affect the people they serve. They can either encourage

or discourage devotion to God both by their example and by the structure they give their organization. In the words of our forefather Benjamin Franklin: “I have lived, Sir, a long time; and the longer I lived the more convincing proofs I see of this Truth, that God governs in the Affairs of Men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the Ground without his Notice, is it probable that an Empire can rise without his Aid?” Good leaders put up no obstacles to faith in God or to right living. Cynthia C.

Seedings determined for Carolina 3A volleyball tournament From STAFF REPORTS

A Carolina 3A Conference coaches meeting was held at Orange High School Saturday to determine the seedings for the conference tournament, which begins Monday. Southern Vance received the

No. 3 seed, beating out Orange in a tiebreaking scenario. Northern Vance beat out J.F. Webb for the fifth seed. The Warriors will be seeded sixth in the tournament. The tiebreakers were determined by drawing a number out of a box.

These seedings will only be used in the conference tournament. According to Northern coach William Hoyle, if a team advances farther than their tied opponent in the conference tourney, they will become the higher seed in the state tournament. For example, if Southern

Vance wins in the first round, and Orange falls, the Southern will be higher in consideration for the No. 3 seed. The team that wins the conference tournament will be the No. 2 seed representing the conference. Cardinal Gibbons, undefeated

in conference play, will be the No. 1 seed, and Chapel Hill is No. 2. Both teams get firstround byes. Northern will be on the road against fourth-seeded Orange Monday for a 5 p.m. match. Southern hosts Webb Monday at 6 p.m.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Tim Tebow kept Florida’s perfect season intact. Tebow directed a 69yard drive in the final minutes, setting up Caleb Sturgis’ 27-yard field goal with 9 seconds remaining that gave the top-ranked Gators a 23-20 win against Arkansas on Saturday. Was it Tebow’s Heisman moment? Regardless, it kept Florida unbeaten and likely No. 1 in the country — and maybe even the Gators’ chances to repeat as national champions. On a day when little went right for the Gators (6-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference), Tebow took over down the stretch. He threw for 255 yards and a touchdown, ran for 69 more and saved his best

NASCAR’s points leader takes first at Lowe’s Motor Speedway By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CONCORD — Jimmie Johnson completed the perfect weekend with a win at Lowe’s Motor Speedway to take control of the championship standings. The three-time defending series champion raced to his third victory in the Chase for the Sprint Cup on Saturday night, extending his lead to 90 points over teammate Mark Martin. Seeking a NASCAR-record fourth consecutive Cup championship, Johnson led every practice session and won the pole to complete yet another dominating run at Lowe’s. He has been the driver to beat at the suburban Charlotte track since early in his career, and the victory was the Lowe’s-sponsored driver’s sixth on the 1.5-mile oval. “Man, we pulled off a perfect weekend and we’ve always wanted to do that,” Johnson said in his first Victory Lane visit at the track since 2005. Matt Kenseth was second, followed by Kasey Kahne and Jeff

Martin, who started the race 12 points behind his teammate in the standings, finished 17th in part because of front-end damage received when he ran into the back of Juan Pablo Montoya on an early restart. It was that kind of night for sev-

eral title contenders, as eight of the 12 finished outside the top 10 in a rare off night for the Chase drivers. Montoya, who was third in the standings and just 58 points out of the lead at the start of the race, dropped to sixth and is now 195 points out. He damaged the front and back ends of his car on the restart problem with Martin and Clint Bowyer, and fell two laps down trying to get pit road for repairs. Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards both blew motors, Greg Biffle was in a late spin and Tony Stewart never contended. That left it up to Kahne and Gordon to chase down Johnson, and despite some thrilling late restarts, neither came close. Gordon finished fourth, but lost ground to Johnson in the standings and is now 135 points out as only Martin is within shouting distance of the champion. Johnson will take the cushion into Martinsville, where he’s won five of the last six races. Johnson has six victories this year and 46 overall — 17 in Chase races.

Pirates pressure cook Rice, 49-13 By AARON BEARD AP Sports Writer

GREENVILLE — Dwayne Harris returned a kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown and added two touchdown catches to help East Carolina beat winless Rice 49-13 on Saturday. Harris matched his career-high with 128 yards receiving for the Pirates (4-3, 3-1 Conference USA), while Rob Kass — a former starting quarterback who moved to tight end — had his first career scoring catch to help East Carolina to a relatively stress-free win. The Pirates led 21-3 by midway through the second quarter and never let the Owls (0-7, 0-3) make it closer than a two-possession game before blowing

it open late. It was another big performance from Harris, a junior receiver who has become the Pirates’ big-play threat. Last week, he had a 77-yard kickoff return for a score and a rushing touchdown in a loss at SMU, and has scored seven touchdowns in the past four games. He gave East Carolina the early lead when he caught a short pass from Patrick Pinkney on the right side and raced in from 16 yards out on the game’s first possession. Later, after Rice showed some life with an 80-yard touchdown pass from Nick Fanuzzi to Toren Dixon, Harris broke free near midfield on the ensuing kickoff and — freed by blocks from Brandon Jackson and Darryl Reynolds

— raced down the right sideline all the way to the end zone for a 28-10 lead shortly before halftime. Harris added a third score with about 11 minutes left and the outcome no longer in doubt, taking a short screen pass from Pinkney and running in untouched for a 7-yard touchdown that made it 42-13. Pinkney was 18-for-26 for 231 yards with two interceptions, though one came when he was hit while throwing — and the Pirates forced a fumble on the return to get the ball right back and set up Kass’ 2-yard scoring catch late in the first quarter. That’s not to say everything went great for the Pirates. Jackson struggled to consistently to shoulder the rushing load for the

Pirates after Dominique Lindsay went down with a left ankle injury. Lindsay had run for 78 yards on 12 carries before going down on a pass play in the opening minutes of the second quarter. Fanuzzi threw for 231 yards to lead Rice, which closed to within 28-13 and had the ball to start the fourth quarter before Dustin Lineback made a leaping interception near midfield and returned the ball to the Owls 20-yard line. That’s when the Pirates — after watching Jackson repeatedly get stuffed for lost yardage — turned to Giavanni Ruffin, who ran three straight times before punching it in from 7 yards out for a 35-13 lead with about 13 minutes left.

Harris leads Eagles past Wolfpack, 52-20 BOSTON (AP) — Boston College’s Montel Harris set two school records with 264 yards rushing and five touchdowns to lead the Eagles to a 52-20 win over North Carolina State on Saturday. Ten players previously had four touchdown runs for Boston College, the last was Darnell Campbell in 1993. Harris set the yardage record with a 9-yarder early in the final quarter, surpassing the previous mark of 253, set by Phil Bennett in 1972. He had one more run before leaving for good. The Eagles (5-2, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) improved to 5-0 at home this season. NC State (34, 2-3) dropped its third straight game following conference losses to Wake Forest and Duke. BC first-year coach Frank Spaziani defeated his longtime coaching mate Tom O’Brien. Spaziani, who coach the Eagles to a victory at the 2006 Meineke Car Care Bowl after O’Brien bolted for NC State, worked under O’Brien for all of his 10 seasons at BC. The two coached together for 26 years in total, also under George Welsh at Navy and Virginia. Spaziani became BC’s head coach after Jeff Jagodzinski was fired last

BC, which led 24-13 at halftime, broke it open by taking the ball on the first possession of the second half and marching 72 yards in 11 plays, with Harris capping it with a 10-yard TD run. Harris had 46-yard run to push him over 200 yards and set up his own score, a 1-yarder two plays later, making it 38-13. He added a 29-yard TD run late in the third

quarter, improving it to 45-13. BC quarterback Dave Shinskie threw a 59-yard scoring pass to Colin Larmond Jr. in the first quarter and finished 13 of 25 for 187 yards with two TD passes. NC State QB Russell Wilson had a 1-yard scoring run and was 23 of 40 for 243 yards with one TD. The Wolfpack were allowing just 62.8 yards per game on the ground entering the game, but

Harris wiped that out on one run early in the game. On its second series, Boston College went to the “Wildcat” formation and Harris busted through the line and down the right sideline for a 70-yard gain, moving the ball to the 2. He scored on the next play, making it 7-0. The Eagles used the “Wildcat” with Harris at QB a number of times in the third quarter. NC State tied it 7-7 on Wilson’s 1-yard TD plunge. BC answered right back when Shinskie hit Larmond Jr. to make it 14-7. Larmond Jr. leaped over cornerback Rashard Smith near the 13-yard line to catch the slightly under-thrown ball before heading to the end zone. NC State’s Josh Czajkowski had field goals of 25 and 32 yards to cut to 14-13. The Eagles made it 2113 on Harris’ 12-yard TD run late in the second. BC’s Steve Aponavicius kicked a 37-yard field goal as time expired in the first half. The Eagles play at Notre Dame next Saturday. NC State is off next week before traveling to Florida State on Halloween.

FBI investigated threats against Braylon Edwards CLEVELAND (AP) — The FBI says it investigated reported threats to former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards after he allegedly punched a man outside a downtown night club.

FBI Special Agent Scott Wilson said on Saturday that the Browns contacted the Cleveland field office about the threats shortly after the Oct. 5 incident. Wilson would not discuss the nature of the

threats or who made them. He says the FBI is no longer investigating any threats. Edwards was traded to the New York Jets two days after he allegedly punched a friend of NBA

star LeBron James in the altercation. Browns spokesman Bill Bonsiewicz says it’s not unusual for the team to communicate with local law enforcement agencies about such matters.

Thomas has first practice with FIU MIAMI (AP) — Isiah Thomas was finally back on the court Saturday. Holding his first official practice as Florida International’s coach, the Hall of Fame player ran up and down with his new team, yelling out pointers on how to defend off the dribble. Far from his past coaching home with the New York Knicks, Thomas said his focus is on rebuilding the Golden Panthers, who finished 13-20 last season. He led stretching drills and cheers, looking agile and carefree in his new gym. “Today is here, I’m prepared for it and I’m ready for it,” Thomas said. “I’m very excited.” So are players and fans. The season-opener at defending national champion North Carolina is about three weeks away, but FIU is already report-

ing that ticket sales have jumped 166 percent ahead of last season’s pace. “We’re well ahead of where we’ve ever been,” said FIU spokesman Rich Kelch. So hiring Thomas is already paying off. Thomas — who is working for a base salary of $0 this season, although he will collect income from other sources — was brought in to transform the program. FIU has seen plenty of national attention since. But to win, Thomas knew he needed to overhaul the team first. Of the 14 players on the roster now, eight transferred solely to play for him. That includes Marvin Roberts, last year’s leading scorer at the junior-college level, and Temple transfer Martavis Kee. On Saturday, Thomas

was still uncertain of what kind of talent he had on his current roster, but he wasn’t ready to focus on offense. “Defense will be our staple,” Thomas said. “We’re very small so we’ll have to depend on our scrappi-

Jackets’ option game too much for Hokies No. 19 Georgia Tech 28, No. 4 Virginia Tech 23 ATLANTA (AP) — Virginia Tech might have lost its shot at a national championship on another doomed trip to Atlanta. Josh Nesbitt rushed for 122 yards and three touchdowns — the last of them tiptoeing down the sideline to finish off the fourth-ranked Hokies with 3 minutes left — as No. 19 Georgia Tech ran to a 28-23 win that threw the Atlantic Coast Conference race up for grabs while perhaps finishing off the league’s top contender in the national race. Georgia Tech (6-1, 4-1 ACC) completed just one pass but ran for 309 yards out of its spread option offense — all but 37 of those yards coming in the second half. Excuse Virginia Tech (52, 3-1) if it passes on any more trips to Atlanta for a while. The Hokies opened the season with a 34-24 loss to Alabama in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff game, about a mile away at the Georgia Dome. No. 9 Miami 27, Central Florida 7 ORLANDO, Fla.

Damien Berry added a fourth-quarter touchdown run for the Hurricanes (51), who matched their best start since 2005. Brett Hodges threw for 163 yards for UCF (3-3), but the team’s top rusher — Brynn Harvey, who was coming off a 219-yard effort against Memphis — was held to 25 yards on 12 carries. UCF is now 0-20 against teams in the AP Top 25 since moving to Division I-A in 1996.

turmoil to get back in the ACC’s Atlantic Division race with a 38-3 victory over Wake Forest on Saturday. Spiller had scoring runs of 66 and 14 yards for the Tigers (3-3, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who seemed ready to implode after an unexpected 24-21 loss to Maryland on Oct. 3. The team held a players only meeting when it returned to campus and an anonymous blog report during the bye week detailed a shouting match at practice between coach Dabo Swinney and offensive coordinator Billy Napier. Against Wake Forest (4-3, 2-2), though, Clemson showed its resiliency with its best performance of the season.

Virginia 20, Maryland 9 COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Virginia defensive end Nate Collins scored on a 32-yard interception return to help the Cavaliers beat Maryland 20-9 in a cold, steady rain on Saturday. It was the third straight victory for Virginia (3-3, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference). The Cavaliers trailed 9-3 late in the third quarter before scoring 10 points in a 19-second span. After Robert Randolph kicked a 31-yard field goal, linebacker Darren Childs deflected a pass by Maryland quarterback Chris Turner. The 290-pound Collins latched onto the ball, broke to his left and took it down the sideline into the end zone. Maryland’s Nick Ferrara missed field goal tries of 44 and 37 yards in the fourth quarter. Then, after Turner threw an incomplete on a fourth-and-17 from the Maryland 2, Rashawn Jackson scored for Virginia with 1:43 left. The Terrapins (2-5, 1-2) have lost four of five

Garner interviews for Astros managerial job By CHRIS DUNCAN AP Sports Writer

HOUSTON — Phil Garner didn’t need to bring a resume to his interview with the Houston Astros on Saturday. He just wore his NL championship ring. Garner met with the Astros to talk about becoming their next manager, just over two years after the franchise fired him. His successor, Cecil Cooper, was fired on Sept. 21, two weeks before Houston finished the season 74-88. Garner didn’t intend to chase his old job. He got an interview after calling president of baseball operations Tal Smith to put in a recommendation for former Arizona manager Bob Melvin, who

interviewed for the job on Friday. Melvin previously worked as Garner’s bench coach. Smith told Garner that he could be a candidate if he wanted to be, and Garner said he was interested. He said he never harbored ill will toward the team after he was fired in August 2007. “When you go back and look at that time, it was probably the right thing to do,” he said. “This is a different scenario now. That’s why I decided to put my name in the hat and see if there’s a fit here. “I don’t think what happened in ’07 is going to have anything to do with this.” Garner only had to flash the garnet and gold ring on his finger to remind

the Astros of what he accomplished before things turned sour. Houston made its only World Series appearance under Garner in 2005, when Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte anchored the pitching staff. Garner took over the Astros in the middle of the previous season, after Jimy Williams was fired. Houston went 48-26 the rest of the way, earned the NL wild card and pushed St. Louis to seven games in the NL championship series. The Astros won their second straight wild-card berth in 2005 before they were swept by the Chicago White Sox in the World Series. “It has worked before, and maybe it can work

again,” Garner said. “We’ve gone there as an organization and I was a part of that. I’m proud of that.” Houston went 82-80 in 2006, finishing 1 1/2 games behind the Cardinals in the NL Central, then slumped in 2007, after Clemens and Pettitte departed. The Astros were 58-73 when Garner and general manager Tim Purpura were fired. Garner said the team needs another fresh start. “So many times in baseball, we’re so resistant to change,” he said. “It’s hard to get ballclubs to turn and go in a direction. But this is a good opportunity to get the ballclub turned philosophically, and then you’ve got to apply it on the field.”

Jim’s son Dylan took the rod and the tournament went on hold as they fought the sail for almost an hour and a half. They didn’t catch anything much over 21 lbs that day and headed for the scales to weigh. Saturday, day two saw more of the same with them catching kings up to 26 lbs at a place called the Jungle, but still nothing worth any money. They stayed there the rest of the day and had one of the best fishing days they’ve ever had, catching a limit of kings and throwing a bunch back.

They also caught a huge Black Sea Bass on the downrigger, a 12 lb. Grouper, 6 lb. Spanish, 7-inch tiger shark, three Remoras, three Cobia, a Black Tip Shark and saw a few 6-inch Barracuda trying to get the cobia as they brought them to the boat. There was also about a 14-inch shark that kept circling as they were bringing in fish. They ended up in 125th place out of over 500 boats, a respectable finish.

GATORS, from page 1B Riley Cooper on third down (Cooper fell down, then caught the ball on one knee) and consecutive runs that gained 16 yards and got Sturgis well within his comfort zone. Sturgis overcame an early miss and finished with three field goals, including a 51-yarder in the third. For much of the day, it was Florida’s biggest play. Just about everything that could go wrong for the Gators did and Arkansas, a week after knocking off Auburn showed that it is making fast progress in its second season under Bobby Petrino. The Gators had four turnovers, three dropped passes, were gashed against the run and gave up more big plays in one game than they had all season. They missed a field goal and scored just once in their first four trips inside the 20-yard line. But after struggling to move the ball on a chilly, sun-drenched afternoon, Tebow led the Gators to scores on three of their final four possessions. He hooked up with Deonte Thompson on a 77-yard TD pass that gave Florida its first lead of the game, 13-10 with 2:59 to play in the third. Another deep pass to Thompson drew a pass-interference

penalty and set up Jeff Demps’ 10-yard TD run that tied the game at 20 midway through the fourth. And Tebow put Florida in position for the gamewinner with a 14-play drive that took just about all the time off the clock. He had the kind of plays Florida fans expected all day against Arkansas, which entered the game with the league’s worstrated defense. The Razorbacks looked like a team with something to prove. They stuffed Florida’s high-powered running game, sacked Tebow six times and forced the Gators into mistakes. They were nearly as good on offense. Ryan Mallett threw for 224 yards, Dennis Johnson ran for 107 in place of injured starter Michael Smith (hamstring) and Greg Childs caught four passes for 135 yards. Arkansas made a few costly mistakes, though. Mallett overthrew fullback Van Stumon, who was wide open in the end zone, and had to settle for a field goal that tied it at 13. Then Alex Tejada yanked a 38-yard field goal with 3:08 remaining. It would have given Arkansas the lead. Instead, it gave Tebow the ball.

FISHING, from page 1B they should have been wrapped up in sweat shirts and jackets and the kings should have been on the beach, but due to the unseasonably warm weather we have experienced, the fish seemed to still be hanging about 20 miles offshore. So Friday morning on day one of the event, after catching bait, they headed to about 65-70 feet of water and started putting good fish in the boat right away. It was starting off good, but they just couldn’t seem to get anything much over 20 lbs. After fishing an-

other hole and catching the same size fish, they left and went 26 miles to a place called the shark hole. Just after putting the lines out a HUGE silver streak came crashing across the back of the engines and crushed the pogie they had on for bait. Jim grabbed the rod and started hollering, “boys we just won the tournament,” — the silver streak was around 4 to 5 feet long.

Thankfully his lovely bride, Bug, doctored him up in time to throw the cobia and grouper on the grill for a great meal, with a tetanus shot to follow on Sunday. Next week’s article – report from Saturday night’s Bank of America 500 in Charlotte. Susan and I were lucky enough to get good seats from a

friend of mine. She is going to her first race. Hopefully I can get out on Sunday and have a fishing report from Belews Creek Lake. Tip of the week – Use a higher speed retrieve (as much as 7 to 1) reel when fishing rattletraps or buzz baits to speed things up. This will help get buzz baits on top quickly and move traps through the water quickly without you having to reel like a madman. Contact the writer at waltbowen@yahoo.com.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL TOP 25

Irish come up just short; Buckeyes upset No. 2 Alabama 20, South Carolina 6 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mark Ingram rushed for a career-high 246 yards and a gameclinching touchdown, powering No. 2 Alabama to a 20-6 victory over No. 22 South Carolina on Saturday night. Ingramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tackle-breaking, defender-dragging runs and a punishing defense helped the Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) overcome four turnovers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; doubling their season total. It also helped â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Bama avoid the down-to-the-wire scares No. 1 Florida and No. 3 Texas had â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or an upset defeat like No. 4 Virginia Tech endured. Steve Spurrierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gamecocks (5-2, 2-2) had never beaten a team ranked higher than No. 3 and were hoping for their second win over a top-five team this season. Ingram didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let it happen. He was practically a one-man show on the decisive drive. He took the direct snap for five consecutive runs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a 24-yarder and 22-yarder â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and then took a pitch in from 4 yards out with 4:54 left. No. 6 Southern California 34, No. 25 Notre Dame 27 SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jimmy Clausen threw three incomplete passes into the end zone in the closing seconds as Southern California held on for a victory and its eighth straight win against Notre Dame. Notre Dameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streak of last-minute victories ended at three, but the Fighting Irish at least showed they could compete with their longtime rivals this season. The Irish rallied back from a 34-14 deficit, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score into the same end zone where the Trojans famously scored four years ago on the Bush Push. On Clausenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first pass into the end zone, Kyle Rudolph made juggling catch but was out of bounds. The second was knocked down by Josh Pinkard and the Trojans started celebrating thinking the game was over. But the officials ruled there was 1 second left. Clausen fired to Duval Kamara, who slipped and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a hand on it. Purdue 26, No. 7 Ohio State 18 WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Joey Elliott and Purdue shocked mistakeprone Ohio State. Elliott threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns, and the Boilermakers snapped a five-game losing streak by beating No. 7 Ohio State to effectively end what national-title chances remained for the Buckeyes. Purdue dominated the first three quarters, then held on as Ohio State tried to mount a comeback behind Terrelle Pryor, who threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles. The Boilermakers (2-5, 1-2) had lost five in a row since beating Toledo to start Danny Hopeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first season as coach, and fans were starting to get uneasy. But when the clock ran out, joyous students poured onto the field to celebrate a major upset. It was Purdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first win over a ranked team since 2003 and its first win over the Buckeyes since 2004. Ohio State (5-2, 3-1) failed to tie the Big Ten record of 17 straight conference road wins. The Buckeyes lost to an unranked team for the first time since Illinois upset Ohio State at home in 2007. But that Illinois team went on to play in the Rose

No. 11 Iowa 20, Wisconsin 10 MADISON, Wis. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No. 11 Iowa needed a second-half road rally to keep its perfect season alive. Trailing by a touchdown at halftime, the Hawkeyes (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) began the third quarter by turning an interception into a tying touchdown pass from quarterback Ricky Stanzi to tight end Tony Moeaki. Iowa took the lead on a 10-yard touchdown run by Adam Robinson early in the fourth quarter, and the Hawkeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense kept the Badgers scoreless in the second half. After appearing vulnerable to the run early on, Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense clamped down on Wisconsin (5-2, 2-2) and running back John Clay, who might have been slowed by a second-quarter leg injury after a big first quarter. Clay finished with 75 yards rushing and Scott Tolzien threw three interceptions. Iowa cornerback Amari Spievey had two interceptions. No. 12 TCU 44, Colorado State 6 FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jeremy Kerley tiptoed the sideline, then came to a near stop before finding an open lane to the end zone for his second punt return for a touchdown in three games and TCU remained undefeated with a victory over Colorado State. Kerleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electrifying 69-yard return just before halftime made it 17-6, and came less than 2 1/2 minutes after TCU (6-0, 2-0 Mountain West) had finally taken the lead on Joseph Turnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-yard touchdown run. The BCS buster hopeful Horned Frogs carried the momentum after halftime, scoring touchdowns on their

first four drives after the break. That included two TD passes by Andy Dalton. Colorado State (3-4, 0-3) lost its fourth straight game.

No. 14 Penn State 20, Minnesota 0 STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Navorro Bowman led a stifling defense, Evan Royster ran for 137 yards and Derek Moye had a disputed touchdown catch in Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy win over Minnesota. Moyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12-yard reception in the end zone was initially ruled incomplete, then overturned after an official review for a TD on a drive that gave the Nittany Lions (6-1, 2-1 Big Ten) a 13-0 lead late in the first half. The offense moved the ball well despite being mired by penalties. Royster and Moye still gave the defense more than enough cushion over the struggling Gophers (4-3, 2-2) on a chilly homecoming game at Beaver Stadium. Bowman led the defense with several big hits, and Penn State held a foe without a first-half touchdown for the seventh straight game. Texas Tech 31, No. 15 Nebraska 10 LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Steven Sheffield passed for a touchdown and ran for another in his first road start, and Texas Tech jumped out fast to upset Nebraska. Sheffield, who passed for 490 yards passing and seven touchdowns in his debut as the starter against Kansas State last week, was nearly perfect early, completing 14 of his first 16 passes against the Cornhuskers. Playing for the injured Taylor Potts, Sheffield went 9-for-16 in the second half and finished with 234 yards. Texas Tech (5-2, 2-1) won for the first time in four road games since last October. Nebraska (4-2, 1-1) held the Raiders to 259 yards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 263 under their average.

Colorado 34, No. 17 Kansas 30 BOULDER, Colo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tyler Hansen wanted to prove that he should have been Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting quarterback all along. He sure showed that he deserves to be the Buffaloesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; main man from here on out. Hansen, Cody Hawkins, the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, in the starting lineup, ran for a touchdown and threw a TD pass to lead Colorado to a 34-30 upset of No. 17 Kansas on Saturday night. Providing a spark both through the air and on the ground, Hansen threw for 175 yards and ran for 34 yards. Colorado (2-4, 1-1 Big 12) handed Todd Reesing and the Jayhawks (5-1, 1-1) their first loss. No. 18 Brigham Young 38, San Diego State 28 SAN DIEGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Max Hall threw for 346 yards and three touchdowns, and ran for another score to lead Brigham Young to the 500th victory in school history, beating San Diego State. BYU (6-1, 3-0 Mountain West Conference) beat SDSU (2-4, 0-2) for the eighth time in the last nine games. SDSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ryan Lindley also threw three touchdown passes. SDSU kept pace with BYU into the third quarter, tying it at 21 before the Cougarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; massive offensive line wore down the Aztecs, allowing Hall to throw two touchdown passes in less than four minutes. Running an effective nohuddle offense, Hall was 27 of 39 for his fifth 300-yard game of the season. Lindley was 21 of 33 for 298 yards. Lindley threw a 36-yard touchdown pass to DeMarco Sampson with 8:23 left in the third quarter to tie it at 21. No. 23 Houston 44, Tulane 16 NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Case Keenumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowest passing total of the season was still pretty good, and more than enough to help Houston win its first conference game of the season. Keenum was 30 of 43 for 334 yards and two touchdowns, and the Cougars defeated Tulane. Bryce Beall and Justin Johnson each ran for two touchdowns for Houston (5-1, 1-1 Conference USA), which pulled away after leading only 9-6 at halftime. Keenum eclipsed 300 yards passing for the 19th time in his career and the sixth straight game this season. His scoring passes went to James Cleveland and L.J. Castile. Tulane (2-4, 0-3) now has lost 37 straight to ranked teams since 1982.

Texas quarterback Colt McCoy sprints into the open field for extra yardage on a quarterback keeper play during the second half of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Oklahoma in Dallas.

McCoy struggles, Bradford injured in Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; win over OU By JAIME ARON AP Sports Writer

DALLAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Colt McCoy was a mess. His right thumbnail was ready to fall off, a nagging cold was wearing him down and Oklahoma was confusing him with blitzes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never seen. Then, with a chance to put the game away for No. 3 Texas midway through the fourth quarter, he threw an interception that couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve turned into a goahead touchdown for the Sooners. McCoy salvaged it all, though. He made a game-saving tackle on the pickoff return, then, after his defense got him the ball back, managed to grind out the final 3:31, sending No. 3 Texas to a 16-13 victory over No. 20 Oklahoma on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be confident in yourself and trust your teammates,â&#x20AC;? McCoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s find a way to win.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We did.â&#x20AC;? The sloppy performance did little for McCoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances of winning the Heisman Trophy and it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t earn much respect for a team that slipped a spot in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poll. But what matters most to McCoy and the Longhorns (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) is remaining in line to play for the national championship â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, well, it always feels good to beat their rivals from across the Red River, especially in front of 96,009, the largest crowd in the 104-game history of this series. That explains why the usually humble McCoy gave a huge fist pump to the burnt orange end of the Cotton Bowl before the final snap, drawing a roar from fans already celebrating their fourth win over the Sooners (3-3, 1-1) in five years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such an awesome feeling,â&#x20AC;? said McCoy, who joined Bobby Layne and Peter Gardere as the only Texas quarterbacks to beat Oklahoma three times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of the greatest games in college football. Knowing it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that pretty, but

you gave it your best effort ... Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m speechless.â&#x20AC;? Oklahoma lost Heisman winner Sam Bradford in the first quarter when he reaggravated the right shoulder injury he sustained in the opener, but was never out of this one. Backup Landry Jones put the Sooners up 6-0 and he drove them for their only touchdown right after Texas scored its only TD, tying the game at 13 in the third quarter. But the Sooners ran for minus-16 yards on 22 tries. They were stuffed on a fourth-and-1 at midfield at the start of the fourth quarter, then, down by a field goal, asked Jones to win it. His last two drives ended on interceptions, first by Aaron Williams (who KOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d Bradford) then by Earl Thomas. Texas ran six straight times after that, with McCoy keeping it three of them. His last plunge was for only 1 yard on thirdand-8 but a penalty on Oklahoma provided the game-ending first down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was more like a fight,â&#x20AC;? Longhorns coach Mack Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was tough, it was ugly.â&#x20AC;? McCoy was only 21 of 39 for 127 yards, with a pair of turnovers within 10 yards of the end zone. Besides the fourth-quarter interception, he fumbled at the end of a long run late in the first half. That came during a spurt of five fumbles in the final few minutes; Oklahoma dropped three of them, losing two, but Texas got only a field goal out of it, and the Sooners didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score off Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; miscues. McCoy banged his thumb on his passing hand against the helmet of Oklahomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gerald McCoy during the first quarter, but insisted that had nothing to do with throws that at times were wildly inaccurate. He also got away with two passes that Keenan Clayton couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve intercepted, and perhaps returned for touchdowns, late in the first half.

Brodeur saves 26 shots in Canes loss By TOM CANAVAN AP Sports Writer

NEWARK, N.J. — Martin Brodeur made 26 saves and moved within one shutout of tying Terry Sawchuk’s NHL career record in leading the New Jersey Devils to a 2-0 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night. Jamie Langenbrunner scored a flukey goal off his body in the opening seconds of the third period to break a scoreless tie, and Zach Parise scored into an empty net with 40 seconds to go as Brodeur picked up his 102nd shutout. Brodeur made about four saves between Langenbrunner’s goal and Parise’s clincher to secure his first shutout of the season and the Devils’ first victory at home in four tries. The NHL winningest goaltender stopped Chad LaRose in close early in the period and he seemed

Carolina goalie Cam Ward makes a save on a shot by New Jersey’s Travis Zajac during the second period of Saturday’s game in Newark, N.J. to get a piece of Eric Staal’s shot that might have hit the post with about 5 minutes to go in the matchup of first-round playoff opponents from last season. Brodeur also stopped a blast by Joe Corvo with about 3 minutes left and he grabbed a good wrist shot by Sergei Samsonov with 1:14 to play. Langenbrunner’s goal

seemed to go off his chest. Rob Niedermayer carried the puck deep into the Hurricanes’ zone and tried to center the puck in front from behind the net. Ward deflected the puck with his stick and it bounced up and hit off Langenbrunner and went into the net. The goal was the only blemish against Ward, who was spectacular in facing

29 shots. Ward and Brodeur each had 16 saves in the relatively penalty-free opening two periods. Ward’s two best stops denied Niclas Bergfors, who had about five chances to score his first goal of the season. The goaltender stacked his pads and slid across the crease to stop Bergfors in close on a nice setup by Travis Zajac midway through the first period, and he used his glove to fend off a secondperiod shot from inside the right circle. Brodeur had his moments, too. He stopped Ray Whitney from the left circle on a play that Staal set up in the first period and he got a little lucky in the second when LaRose’s deflection of Joni Pitkanen’s shot hit the post. The Hurricanes beat the Devils in Game 7 at New Jersey of last season’s opening round series, scoring twice in the final 1:20 to win.

Utley’s erratic throws hurting Phillies By ROB MAADDI AP Sports Writer

PHILADELPHIA — Chase Utley makes two costly throwing errors, and suddenly he’s being mentioned with Steve Sax and Chuck Knoblauch. Utley’s fielding gaffes were the talk of the town when the Philadelphia Phillies returned home Saturday after splitting the first two games of the NL championship series at Los Angeles. Game 3 is Sunday night in soggy Philadelphia, weather permitting. The forecast calls for showers all day and it’s expected to be 42 degrees at game time. Cliff Lee starts for the Phillies against Hiroki Kuroda. The weather will make it tough to grip the ball and make accurate throws. Utley, a four-time All-Star second baseman, had enough problems throwing to first in sunny L.A. The Phillies overcame his blunder in Game 1, but it hurt them on Friday. Trailing 1-0, the Dodgers got their first two runners on in the bottom of the eighth. After failing to put down a sacrifice, Russell Martin then hit a sharp grounder to third

baseman Pedro Feliz. It was a routine double-play ball except Utley’s relay throw sailed wide of first. Instead of two outs and a runner on third, the Dodgers had a run and one out. They went on to score again and held on for a 2-1 victory. Utley typically wasn’t around to speak to reporters during Saturday’s one-hour, open clubhouse session. But manager Charlie Manuel and others had his back. “I’m sure nobody in Philadelphia hates that more than Chase, but at the same time, he’ll correct it,” Manuel said. “I have all the faith in the world in him as far as that goes. That’s going to happen to anybody.” Ronnie Belliard was bearing down on Utley and slid hard into second, possibly forcing him to rush his throw. Belliard, a fellow second baseman, sympathized with Utley. “It’s nothing mental,” Belliard said. “He’s a good second baseman. It’s a difficult situation to turn a double play like that. You have to forget about it and do your job.” In the series opener Thursday night, Utley made a similarly poor

throw on what should have been an inning-ending, double-play grounder hit by Andre Ethier in the fifth inning. Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels was visibly upset that shortstop Jimmy Rollins and Utley couldn’t make the turn. Manny Ramirez followed with a two-run homer that cut Philadelphia’s lead to 5-4, but the Phillies won 8-6. Rollins, a Gold Glove winner the last two years, was slow to shuffle the ball and that may have thrown off Utley’s timing. “Looked like he had trouble gripping the ball, really taking it out of his glove,” Manuel said of Utley. “Looked like he had trouble getting a hold of it.” In between the two errors, Utley made three iffy throws on routine grounders. All three resulted in outs, but his erratic tosses suggest this could be more than a simple case of two bad throws under difficult circumstances in clutch spots. Dodgers third base coach Larry Bowa, who managed Utley when he first came up in Philadelphia, doesn’t buy it. “No, no, no,” Bowa said when asked if Utley’s

issues are comparable to Sax and Knoblauch. “I don’t think it’s a problem at all. He rushed two throws. It was coincidental that he did it two games in a row.” Sax, the NL Rookie of the Year with the Dodgers in 1982, inexplicably stopped being able to make routine throws to first in his sophomore season. Sax committed 30 errors that season, many on errant tosses. Knoblauch began experiencing the same problem shortly after joining the New York Yankees in 1999. A former Gold Glove winner with Minnesota in 1997, Knoblauch was moved to the outfield because he never regained his ability to throw to first. Dodgers manager Joe Torre managed Knoblauch in New York. He’s not ready to put Utley in that category. “I don’t think it’s an issue,” Torre said. “If I was Charlie, I wouldn’t be concerned about him. He’s too tough a kid and he’s too good of a player. Stuff like that happens. Sometimes there’s no rhyme or reason why it happens, but the nature of the game is what it is.”

Team owner Richard Childress speaks during a news conference before the NASCAR Banking 500 Sprint Cup Series race at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord Saturday.

Childress on Harvick: ‘Whatever happens, happens’ By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer

CONCORD — Richard Childress doesn’t appear to be too concerned about Kevin Harvick’s possible departure at the end of the 2010 season. Childress said Saturday night at Lowe’s Motor Speedway that he’s focused on helping his struggling team move on following a disastrous 2009, not Harvick’s status. Harvick hinted during a television interview recently that he has no plans to remain at Richard Childress Racing when his contract expires next year. “We’ll just see how everything plays out in the future,” Childress said. “I didn’t see Kevin’s interview. I’ve heard some comments on it but whatever happens, happens.” Childress is more concerned about turning around RCR’s program, which failed to land any of its four Cup cars in the Chase for the championship a year removed from putting the cars of Harvick, Jeff Burton and Clint Bowyer in NASCAR’s playoffs. The longtime owner said peaks and valleys are to be expected, but admitted he’s a little baffled by the stunning drop-off for one of the series’ most successful teams. “It’s such a fine line with this car,” Childress said. “If you look at it, other than three, four or five cars people can be off and on and when you get off sometimes it’s hard to get back on.”

Childress has made several changes during the year in hopes of kick-starting the program. He allowed Harvick and Casey Mears to switch crew chiefs and recently promoted Burton’s crew chief, Scott Miller, to RCR’s director of competition. Childress is optimistic the reorganization will pay off and said he’s seen progress in recent races. Harvick and Bowyer both ran in the Top 10 last week at Auto Club Speedway and Mears has been a pleasant surprise in his first year with the program. Yet Mears’ success doesn’t mean he’ll be around next season after Jack Daniels pulled its sponsorship of the No. 07 Chevrolet he drives. Childress isn’t sure he’ll be able to find enough funding to sponsor the car for a full season and has no plans for the car to run a partial schedule. “We’re wanting to run it, we can’t turn it into a (start and park),” Childress said. “I don’t want to do that. I won’t do that. ... We’ve got some sponsorship for a few races next year, but to be competitive that isn’t the way to do it.” A decision on the No. 07 will likely be made before the season finale at Homestead. Childress, who won six Cup titles with Dale Earnhardt Sr., has little doubt RCR will return to challenge Hendrick Motorsports atop the series. “We can see the crest up there, we’ve just got to be ready for it,” he said.

Panthers hoping to increase Tampa’s losing streak By FRED GOODALL AP Sports Writer

TAMPA, Fla. — The Carolina Panthers can imagine the sense of urgency building within the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Only a week removed from being winless themselves, the defending NFC South champions are still feeling some heat at 1-3. Raheem Morris and the Bucs are 0-5, searching for some of the same answers the Panthers believe they’ve begun to find. “This game takes confidence, and obviously winning breeds confidence,” said Carolina coach John Fox, whose team beat Washington last Sunday to brighten the prospect for a turnaround from a slow start. “We hadn’t felt that feeling in a little bit — a little longer than we all expected,’ Fox added. “But it was good to get that one under our belt. Before you win two, you’ve got to win one.” Four of Tampa Bay’s five losses have been by double-digits. The other was to the Redskins, who rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat the Bucs by

Carolina quarterback Jake Delhomme scrambles for a first down against Washington late in the second half of last Sunday’s game in Charlotte. The Panthers play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today. three, despite having four turnovers and a blocked extra point. Morris, the NFL’s youngest head coach, has already switched offensive coordinators and made a quarterback change. With each loss, he faces more questions about plans to eventually turn the offense over to rookie Josh Freeman, the team’s firstround draft pick. Injuries, dropped passes, the absence of a consistent running game

and shoddy also have been factors in the team’s worst start since 1996 (when Tony Dungy was a rookie head coach), but Morris hasn’t been one to offer excuses. Since last season, when Tampa Bay lost four straight in December to miss the playoffs after beginning 9-3, the Bucs have dropped nine in a row. The slide began with a 38-23 loss at Carolina, a game in which the Panthers rushed for a club-

record 299 yards. “Whatever your demons are, you have to fight them within yourself. That’s how we are going to come out, that’s how we are going to try to beat the Carolina Panthers this week,” the 33-year-old Morris said. “It can’t be about what happened in the past. It’s not about the psyche or the rivalry. It’s none of those things.” Much like the Bucs, the puzzled Panthers are trying to re-establish their identity. A year ago, DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart combined for the most yards rushing by NFL teammates since 1984. Now, Carolina is 23rd in rushing offense at 97.3 yards per game. Williams has 220 yards at 3.7 per carry, and Jonathan Stewart has 138 yards at 4.2 per attempt. The last time Carolina faced Tampa Bay, Williams gained a franchisebest 186 yards and Stewart ran for 115, with each scoring two touchdowns. Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme, who’s thrown an NFL-leading

eight interceptions to contribute to Carolina’s league-worst minus-9 turnover margin, thinks the rushing attack is almost there. “The run game sometimes takes time to come together,” Delhomme said. “But I know what it does for this offense. It’s how this offense is made.” The Bucs would be a lot better off, too, if they could run the ball more effectively and ease some of the burden on Josh Johnson, who replaced Byron Leftwich at quarterback two weeks ago. Johnson’s mobility was one of the reasons for the change, however Morris didn’t envision the secondyear pro leading the team in rushing two of the past three games. Falling behind early has been a problem. Last week, Johnson threw 50 passes during a 19-point loss to Philadelphia, while Cadillac Williams was limited to eight yards rushing on 10 carries. “We haven’t been forcing our will on our opponent. Our opponent’s been coming in and forcing their will on us,” Morris said.

One of the bright spots during Tampa Bay’s poor start has been the play of tight end Kellen Winslow, who was acquired in an offseason trade from Cleveland. He had nine receptions for 102 yards and two touchdowns against the Eagles, and he leads the team in receiving with 26 catches and four TDs. The Bucs’ wide receivers have one TD among them. “It’s tough for everybody, but we’re all in this together. Where we can go from here is only up,” Winslow said. “Nothing really much to be said. It’s all on tape. We know what we need to do. We just need to move on. I’ve been on some pretty bad teams, but everyone has their head up around here and I like that.” The sixth-year pro, the NFL’s highest paid tight end, said Morris is the main reason. “We really want to win for this guy and make it work for him and us. We just haven’t done that so far,” Winslow said. “We’ve let him down. We’ve let ourselves down. We’re trying to change that.”

Eric Cheek brushes the hair off of Jerry Carpenter after giving the customer a trim inside E-Clips Barber Shop Wednesday afternoon.

Prime cuts Local barber carving out national reputation • Has had his success story printed inside and his picture plastered on the front cover of “Against The Grain,” a national magazine that covers the industry he embraces. Cheek attributes much of his success to a Job Corps center in the mountains of Western North Carolina. His mother sent him there at the age of 15 to give him a new start. He left Southern Vance High School in 1995 because, “I wasn’t focused. I was supposed to be in the 11th grade, but I was actually in the ninth.”

have four children. “My wife is the brains behind anything you see me doing,” Cheek said. “She’s the manager. I do what she tells me to do.” Cheek estimated he does 75 to 80 haircuts a week, with the average ones taking about half an hour each. Asked how he deals with screaming children who won’t cooperate, he equated the process with training horses. “They don’t break me. I break them.” More elaborate haircuts can cost a lot more than his standard rates. When a visitor jokingly enquired about the price for carving the Eiffel Tower into someone’s head, Cheek replied that he would charge about $75. He started doing “extremely simple designs” in 2003. “I did my first face in 2006.” Some of those can take four hours or more to complete.

Cheek likes to apply his drawing ability when it comes to creating looks that are designed to attract attention. What Cheek does for a living means a lot of standing on his feet on days that can last long after the sun goes down. On Friday and Saturday, it’s 14 to 16 hours each day. “It hurts sometimes,” he said. And special haircuts require special tools. “I use make-up pencils that women use to color-in my designs,” he said. “I have five different styles of clippers for detail, polishing and fading.” Ninety percent of his clients are males. While Cheek’s prices can vary a lot, the average for adults is about $22. That includes $5 for the appointment, $5 for eliminating or trimming a beard, and $12 for the haircut. Most kids get in and out of the chair for $9, plus $5 for the appointment.

Above, Tyrone Neal Jr. gets a design etched in his hair as his brothers, Tavius, left, and Tyree, sit with his father, Tyrone Neal Sr. and wait for their turns in Eric Cheek’s barber chair Wednesday afternoon. At left, a close-up of the design in the 14-yearolds hair. Four of Cheek’s best customers are also some of his models who travel with him to hair shows where he often demonstrates his artistry on them on stage. Tyrone Neal, a 37-yearold construction worker, and his three sons, like both roles. In Henderson, they go to Cheek’s shop once a week for haircuts. The charge each time for Tyrone Jr. — who is 14, 6-foot-4, sports an intricate design on his head, and has a beard — is $40 for a touch-up. The father, who always gets a regular haircut, said 9-year-old Tazius and 10-year-old Tyree will be having their first designs done next Wednesday. Cheek has been working atop all of their craniums for three or four years. Asked why, Tyrone Sr. said: “It’s real fun. He’s the best barber around.” Contact the writer at awheless@hendersondispatch.com.

Woodland Garden Club learns about the Monarch butterfly Members of the Woodland Garden Club met at the home of Jeanette Metzger on Pool Rock Plantation Lane for their October meeting. The meeting was called to order by President Peggy Polak with devotions by Elmira Chooponi (Vu). Advice for a successful daily life were offered as follows: • Many people will walk in and out of your life. But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. • To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. • Anger is only one letter short of danger. • If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice it is your fault. • Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. • He who loses money loses much. He who loses a friend loses much more; He who loses faith loses all. • Learn from the mistakes of others; you can’t live long enough to make them all yourself. • Friends, you and me.

Mary Jane Fink presented the program on butterflies. You brought another friend. And then there were three. We started our group. Our circle of friends. There is no beginning to our end. • Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. The horticulture report was presented by Jackie Hubbard, who encouraged gardeners to “let spent perennials nourish your soil.” Every year, she said, we cut back our perennials and add the debris to the compost heap. “Think back to the forest floor. Think about how rich in nutrients the soil of the forest is. What is nature

trying to get us to see?” said Hubbard. When organic matter decays, she said, it breaks down into nutrients that can easily be used by plants. In addition, it helps improve the texture of the soil. So, instead of cutting back perennials and tossing them in the compost heap, take the hedge shears, cutting the debris into numerous smaller sections, beginning at the top and working down to the crown. Smaller pieces help speed decay. Next, hoe the pieces of leaves and stems into the soil around the plants, which also helps to accelerate the decaying process. Remove anything that is visually

infected, she warned. If your deck or outside porch rails show mildew, use chlorine bleach in a sprayer and let it set for a few minutes. Do not dilute the bleach when using it outdoors, Hubbard added. Mary Jane Fink gave a slide show presentation on “Butterfly Habitats For The Endangered Monarchs.” No one knows for sure where the word “butterfly” came from, Fink said. Some believe it originates from Europe, where people referred to these “sulfurs” as “buttercolored flies,” which may have evolved into the word “butterfly.” Some people say that when a butterfly lands on you it means good luck, Fink said. Butterflies contribute to the ecosystem by pollinating the earth’s plant population. Butterflies are the second largest pollinators in the world, after bees. There are between 15,000 and 20,000 different species of butterflies in the world. The common name “Monarch” was first published in 1874 and was selected because it is one of the largest of the butterflies. The

Monarch butterfly is not only found in North America, but in New Zealand, Australia, Europe and in the Canary Islands. It is also found in the Azores, Sweden, Spain and Russia. Fink explained how to tell the differences between the male and female butterflies. Butterfly eggs come in many shapes and colors. The Monarch egg is oval in shape. The mother Monarch abandon her eggs the instant they’re laid. They lay only one egg at a time, but can lay many in a single day, she said. Monarchs cannot survive the cold winter temperatures of the Northern states, so it migrates South and hibernates. This means that it rests, with a very slow heart rate, just like bears do in their hibernation caves. The Monarch’s strong wings are its trademark. The black veins in the wings form a strong framework for gliding, like crossbars of a kite. They glide and ride on air currents for their long-distance flight. Monarchs migrate during the day and use the sun to orient themselves. During their five-month stay in Mexico from November to May,

Monarchs remain mostly inactive. In the spring, the Monarch migration back to the north is like a relay race. The beautiful butterflies leave Mexico. Some will die along the way, but the Monarchs should reach the central United States by mid-April. By that time, the females will have laid their eggs for 1,000 miles as they make their one-time trip. The N.C. Department of Transportation has started a Save the Monarch Program. Butterfly gardens are one way to help reestablish their habitat. There is milkweed growing in the butterfly garden at L. B. Yancey Elementary School, which the Little Sprouts Garden Club takes care of. The club is sponsored by the Woodland Garden Club. In conclusion, Fink passed out to members packets of butterfly garden seeds and pictures of a male and female Monarch, in addition to interesting information on the Monarch butterfly’s journey south in the fall of 2009 and a butterfly crossword puzzle. The hostess gift was won by Carol Dorsey.

Birds of the Bible is topic of Daisy Garden Club’s September meeting The Daisy Garden Club held it’s meeting Sept. 28 at the Western Sizzlin Restaurant. Bud vases of rooster corn from Velma Steed’s garden enhanced each table. Ceramic birds were displayed on each table. Barbara Carroll led the devotion with the group singing the garden club song followed by reading the North Carolina Federation of Garden Clubs’ Official State Collect. Carroll then offered prayer. The flower of the month was the goldenrod. Carroll told the group that goldenrods are delicate and they have a pungent odor. But several kinds are pleasingly fragrant and the “Sweet Goldenrod” is anise-scented. The leaves of this species have been dried and used as a tea or tonic. Goldenrod is the state flower of Kentucky and Nebraska. A picture of the goldenrod was shown to the group. After the devotion, Carroll presided over the business session. Vivian Bullock gave the September report on the Daisette Youth Garden Club. Members who attended the State Garden Club

Convention shared highlights of the convention with the members. Calendar of program and activities for 20092010 was completed during the meeting. Following the business section, Bullock presented a program about “Biblical birds.” She stated that birds are winged, bipedal, warm-blooded vertebrate animals that lay eggs. All birds have forelimbs, modified as wings, and most can fly; of course, penguins cannot. Parrots are among the most intelligent of them all. Some of the birds that are mentioned in the Bible are: dove, hawk, quail, partridge, sparrow, peacock, stork, raven, pelican, pigeon, cane and owl. • Dove: In Genesis, Noah sends out a dove after the flood. In the New Testament, a dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit. The dove corresponds to the affection for thinking innocent thoughts of trust in the Lord and of love for one another. • Sparrow: The sparrow in the Bible is usually a general name for all little birds, suggesting God’s knowledge of all passing

The sparrow has been incorporated into Christian religious stories, in part because of their arrival in Europe around the time of Easter. Stories place them at the crucifixion of Jesus, either trying to distract those sent to arrest Jesus in the garden or comforting Jesus on the cross.

• Peacock: The peacock appears as the favorite bird of the goddess Hera (also known as Juno), and the bird was know to the pharaohs of Egypt. In

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What you now find irritating, you will soon deem “hilarious.” Distance brings perspective. It won’t take long for the shift. Get away for the afternoon, and then come back to your so-called irritant. That’s when the laughter starts. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Say nice things to the not-so-nice people. No one is particularly annoyed with you, but kindness is like putting good karma in the bank. You’ll cash it out later. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Doing the same activity a different way can help you out of a rut. Take on the small things — they work like magic to get you unstuck. Button your shirt from bottom to top, or hold your spoon with the other hand. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Remember that sweetheart from bygone times? The one who turned out to be not so sweet, after all? Well, you’ll meet a similar type in the days to come. Remember past lessons, and approach with guarded optimism. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Who you are standing next to will strongly affect how you experience your day. You’re confident lately, so approach those who interest you. Good company makes food taste better and gives everything a pretty sheen, too. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t have to sacrifice your comfort in order to chase your dream — well, at least not today. You’ll progress in style and barely break a sweat. This is truly a lucky time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are bigger than your behaviors. Experiment with your daily habits just to shake things up. Give up one thing and see what falls in the gap to replace it. You can always go back to the way things were later. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are an unusually sensitive participant in life. Those who can appreciate your talent may be rare, but they are extraordinarily generous, too. You will be offered something that only an elite few will ever experience. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A celebrity’s irresponsible behavior gives you pause. Is the whole world going nuts? Today a stranger’s act of kindness helps convince you of the inherent goodness of 98 percent of the human race. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You do not always feel like being the responsible one, which is one of the reasons you and your partner make a good match. He/ she kindles the fire; you light it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your loyalty to a principle is sometimes at odds with your loyalty to people, and this is one of those times.

Black endearing in ‘Brutal Legend’ By LOU KESTEN Associated Press Writer

No style of music has taken more of a beating over the years than heavy metal. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy to make fun of. The sharpest metal parodists — the members of Spinal Tap and Tenacious D — also have a lot of affection for it. Jack Black, the latter band’s frontman, has always made it hard to tell between reverence and ridicule. “Brutal Legend” (Electronic Arts, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, $59.99), Black’s collaboration with gonzo videogame designer Tim Schafer, doesn’t make it easier. Black plays Eddie Riggs, a roadie transported to an alternate dimension with angular architecture and blood-red skies dear to anyone who loved album covers of the ’70s and ’80s (say, Dio’s “Holy Diver”). Eddie joins the cause of a stud named Lars trying to save humanity. Eddie’s weapons are his axes: an actual one he uses to slice up demons and a guitar he uses to perform “facemelting” (literally) solos. Laying waste to druids,

S&M nuns and bony goth boys is wicked fun, as is cruising in Eddie’s pimped-out hot rod. But “Brutal Legend” bogs down in its primary missions, most of which are versions of the “real-time strategy” battles in games like “Command & Conquer.” The challenge is to stage a concert while your army fights evil; to boost your fan base, and recruit fighters. Newcomers to real-time strategy games are likely to find these events too chaotic, and in-stage goals so poorly defined that it’s easy to win or lose without knowing why. RTS vets are unlikely to be satisfied with the simple battles. Still, the distinctive style and humor of “Brutal Legend” kept me playing. Metalheads will embrace voice work by the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Lita Ford and Rob Halford. Comedy nerds will enjoy the hilarious cameos by Brian Posehn and Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass. And Black himself deserves credit for the most enthusiastic video-game performance I’ve ever heard. His Eddie Riggs is one of the most endearing new characters in years. Three stars out of four.
