Pills taken in break-in at drugstore Drugs have street value of $18,000 By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer
An investigator said about 900 Hydrocodone pills worth $20 to $30 each on the block were stolen Monday by whomever broke into Southside Drug Co. on Nicholas Street between midnight and 8:10 a.m. That amounts to a street value of at least $18,000 for the missing narcotic pain-killer, according to the “average” figures supplied by a detective who has been with the Henderson Police Department nearly six years. “It’s the first time I’ve seen this type of MO (method of operation) since I’ve been here,” he said Tuesday. His reference was to the use of a blunt object to pry open a plexiglass window held in place by a steel bar at a drive-through attatched to the drugstore at 1005 Nicholas. No other damage was reported, and nothing else was taken, according to the investigator. “It’s highly probably that just one person could do all this,” he said. According to police records, Southside Drug was broken into once in 2001 and twice in 2002. An attempt was made in 2002 to enter the same store, but it failed. Asked if there have been B&E’s at similar businesses in Henderson recently, the detective said, “There was a break-in a couple of years ago at Mast Drug (at 501 S. Chestnut St.), but they didn’t go for drugs.”

But Zoning Board of Adjustment attaches conditions after hearing complaints By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer
The Zoning Board of Adjustment granted a special use permit to Richard Sanford Jr. to operate Peanut’s Service Center at 1803 Oxford Road, provided he meet conditions and after the board heard from City Councilman Garry Daeke, who stated his and residents’ complaints. One of the conditions set by the board is that fencing and screening of a chain link fence around the adjoining backyard storage area comply with codes in order to hide vehicles from view. Additionally, compliance with the screening and with additional screening facing the road has to
be completed within 60 days. And the number of vehicles on the property after hours has to be in compliance with codes. And the service center has to cease doing business by 9:30 p.m. The property is located in an area that is zoned neighborhood commercial. The request for the special use permit came Tuesday after City Planning Director Erris Dunston told the board that the service center is “totally out of compliance.” “There’s a screening issue with this property. There are cars still located on the property that are not tagged. There is an issue with the layout of the propPlease see PERMIT, page 4A

Adoption Awareness Month
Daily Dispatch/ASHLEY STEVEN AYSCUE
Dozens of balloons are released into the air by foster and adoptive parents outside the Vance County Courthouse Wednesday afternoon after Judge J. Henry Banks read the National Adoption proclamation signed by President Barack Obama to observe Adoption Awareness Month. Each balloon represented 10 children currently in the foster care system in North Carolina who are available for adoption. The group released a total of 86 balloons with a card attached with information on how to contact the Vance County Social Services on how to adopt a child. There are currently 70 children in foster care in Vance County.
Warrenton Road Sewer Project to begin 120-day job gets under way Nov. 16, is below budget by 20 percent By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer
Construction is scheduled to begin Nov. 16 on the Warrenton Road Kittrell Sewer Project, Vance County ManDanny A. Herion Jr., 23 ager Jerry Ayscue told the Board of Raleigh Wilma E. Cordaro, 86 Commissioners Monday night. “Close coordination with the Obituaries, 4A businesses, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Progress Energy, the City of Henderson, Public Service Gas, the engineer and the contractor is essential in this project,” Ayscue said. He estimated that the work will
be completed within 120 days, once construction begins. On Sept. 7, the commissioners awarded the construction contract for the Warrenton Road Sewer Project to Hendricx Barnhill, Inc. for its low bid of $168,971. Ayscue said the bid was 20 percent below budget. Part of the funding for the project includes a $115,000 grant from the North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center. According to the county manager, the grant is intended to spur the creation of jobs. He said four businesses in the project area expect to add 12 jobs because of the new sewer line. Ayscue has previously told the commissioners that the county must pay half of the total project cost.
“There’s a tremendous need for sewer services in that general area,” he said in May of 2008. “Some of these businesses have struggled with the need for sewer service for many years,” Ayscue added. “This is a great opportunity.” Also on Monday night, the Board of Commissioners voted to allow the Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments to finish rehabilitating a home at 140 Allen Road in Dabney by using $12,900 of Community Development Block Grant funds, along with about $40,000 in North Carolina Housing Finance Agency funds. In an Oct. 28 letter to Ayscue, Julie A. Reid, community development administrator for the Please see SEWER, page 4A
The Zoning Board of Adjustment granted a special use permit to John A. Jackson Jr. to open a sports bar at 165 U.S. 158 Bypass near the junction of Ruin Creek Road. Jackson, in rebutting a minister and a resident against the proposed business, said, “It’s going to be a respectable kind of atmosphere.” “If you’re looking for a place to go hang out and get drunk and slobber and harass other customers, no, that’s not what I have in mind. That’s not going to be me,” Jackson told the board, which met on Tuesday. And Jackson said he will manage the business and will have a membership drive and screen the applicants. “And if it’s not what I want, I’ll reject it, plain and simple,” Jackson said. Jackson added that he eventually plans to have a place to have shag lessons and shag dancing and a meeting area for local groups. The board said Jackson would have to keep the maximum capacity of the building to 104 persons based on the site plan. The building, which is located in a highway commercial district, was formerly a car rental business. The building is next to an adult bookstore, which the Rev. Frank Sossamon was quick to point out to the board while representing the West Hills/West Creek/158 Bypass Community Watch. “We are just sort of confused and bewildered,” Sossamon said, labeling the proposed sports bar “an enemy of good” and calling for the adult bookstore to be closed and moved away. “We are hoping to have a wholesome area,” Sossamon said. “We’re trying to keep it that way. When people come up 158 Bypass, the last thing we want them to see is what they see when they enter Henderson. And that’s a tavern and an adult bookstore. And that says a whole lot about us.” Sossamon said the community he was speaking for is comprised Please see BAR, page 3A

Vance County teams place second, fourth in cancer awareness walk September was Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and Vance County residents proved their dedication to the cause. The seventh annual Gail Parkins Memorial Ovarian Cancer Walk, held on Sept. 26, raised over $241,000 for ovarian cancer research for Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center. The walk was started by Melanie Parkins Batchelor after her mother, Gail Parkins, lost her battle with ovarian cancer at the age of 56. The goal of the Parkins family and other families touched by this disease is to raise the level of awareness of the disease and to provide financial support for research. This year’s walk had 124 teams from all over the state, who came to pay tribute to all those touched by ovarian cancer and to work together for all those who continue to be affected by the disease. Out of these teams, Vance County teams placed second and fourth in raising the most money for the cause. The second place team, Dona’s Dream Team, has been participating in the walk for five years.

lems and other types of violence. The parking lot can run out onto the street and cause accidents,” Hall added. Jackson noted he is 58 years old and has been in Henderson since he was seven. “And I think people that know me know that I do what I say I’m going to do, okay, in that I’m not going to have a place for drug members to come hang out or hoodlums or drunk drivers or any of this faction,” Jackson said. “It’s not going to be a low-rent-district-type place,” Jackson said. Under questioning from the board about whether he would have security, Jackson said he would probably start with some but emphasized his intention is not “to have that type of people around there anyway.” And Jackson said he would call the police if he had an issue. Board member Ruxton Bobbitt led the vote for the special use permit. Supporting him were Board Chairwoman Arline Richardson and board members Thomas Badger, Richard Brand, Cathy Ringley and Marchita Vann. Board member Duane Townes was absent.

WISE — The Warren County Training School/ North Warren High School Alumni and Friends Association is engaged in a project to restore the buildings on the WCTS campus for use of the community. The project took a hit during the afternoon or night of Oct. 14, when someone broke into the cafeteria building and took several items. The cafeteria was the first building on the campus that was restored, using donations by alumni and interested citizens. It is used for meetings and special events. In addition to its renovation efforts, the Association is engaged in activities to improve the quality of life for the residents of Warren County. A current focus is on the youth of the county. The Association offers a Saturday tutorial program throughout the school year and a threeweek summer enrichment program in July. Long-range plans call for initiating a training program
for heavy equipment operation and facility maintenance. The program will be operated in cooperation with Vance-Granville Community College. The break-in damaged windows and an electrical panel. Stolen were a desktop computer, a laptop computer, copper wiring and several other items. In a press release, the Association stated: “The individuals that committed these acts not only affected the operations of the Association, but also caused harm to a building being used for community and private functions, and providing programs and services for our community. For this reason, the Association is offering a $1,000.00 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons involved.” Warren County Johnny Williams asks anyone having information about the breakin to contact the Sheriff’s Office using the confidential Crime Hot Line: (252) 2571356.

Sossamon said that he did not have a petition but that, “We can certainly provide one,” additionally pointed out community members in the audience and additionally pointed out he could get more to come to another hearing. “We didn’t know this was happening until, I think, 48 hours ago,” Sossamon said of Tuesday’s hearing. City Planning Director Erris Dunston said the hearing was properly publicized. Sossamon was followed by Francine Hall, who said she believed the sports bar could be a place for drug trafficking, for prostitutes to hang around and for underage drinkers. “You might have more drunk drivers out on the road,” Hall added. “It’s also going to be next to a Christian bookstore, just right up the road. You’re going to have the bowling alley, with kids, coming out at night. And kids don’t want to see people out there on the cars, out drunk,” Hall added. And Hall expressed concern about patrons parking cars at a nearby automobile dealership and damaging vehicles. “And it can bring out more gang-related prob-
ven fabrics in the hygiene and sanitary wipes markets. The Granville County location will be employing 42 persons.

PERMIT, from page one erty,� Dunston said. There needs to be gravel within the storage area, along with the screening, Dunston said. And Dunston said that vehicles need to be in the building or in a screened area, not in the customer parking area. “And that has not been done up until this point,� Dunston said. The service center is located at the corner of Oxford Road and Western Avenue and at what was a Phillips 66 station. Dunston, under questioning from board member Thomas Badger, said the service center is operating without a permit. Board member Gene Ayscue wanted to know how that can happen. “This case was before you before,� Dunston said. “They were issued a special use permit based on certain conditions being met by the timeline of the amortization.� Dunston was referring to city officials in July 2008 cracking down on automobile repair facilities that were not in compliance with the so-called Amortization Ordinance. This included limiting the number of vehicles that can be stored outdoors at repair shops and establishing additional guidelines and restrictions for such businesses. The ordinance was adopted in May 2006 and required all repair shops to be in compliance with the regulations by May 22, 2008. In the case of the service center along Oxford Road, conditions were not met, Dunston said Tuesday. “It closed, but it really didn’t stay closed,� Dunston said. “Unknowing to us, it was reopened. And we insisted that it come back before you to come into compliance and to be issued another special use permit.� Sanford told the board he never closed the business, works elsewhere in the daytime and works at the service center in the evenings.
And Sanford said he fell into financial hardship and could not afford to put up a fence. “That was the only thing that I had left to do� to meet the requirements, Sanford added. “I got my stuff just about all caught up, so I put me a fence around it and I’m missing a little bit of screening, but nobody in this town has got any of the slats to go inbetween the fence line there and everything,� Sanford said. Sanford added that, “We’ve got to be realistic. I run a shop. We’re going to have some cars there.� And Sanford added that he does have two vehicles without tags — one belonging to him and the other belonging to a neighbor — and removed the tags so nobody could steal them. Sanford said he filled the back area with gravel and put in more than $2,200 worth of fencing. Board member Ruxton Bobbitt wanted to know whether vehicles in the unscreened area could be placed in the backyard. Sanford said that, many times, customers bring their vehicles when he is there by himself and cited the difficulty in pushing them back and forth. When board member Marchita Vann asked Sanford about the average time he spends repairing a vehicle, he said maybe a week, but said some of those who bring their vehicles to him for repairs do not have the money to return and get them. Badger asked Sanford how many more vehicles he could put in the backyard before people told him he could not put more there. “I’ve been blessed pretty good, but I tell folks that it’s hard for me to keep them cars up there and everything,� Sanford said. “When they break down, it’s hard for ‘em to take ‘em home and have the money to put ‘em back up there,�
Sandord said. “So, they usually go against my word and bring ‘em up there anyway.� And Sanford said that is why he works at night. “But, still, you’re not supposed to have ‘em there, right?� Badger asked. Sanford said, “I mean, I don’t see how you all say I ain’t supposed to have nothing there.� Badger said, “We don’t say that. The code says that.� And Badger said that, based on the photographs he was reviewing, he counted 40 vehicles. “You need to swing by there again,� Sanford said. According to Badger, the photos he was reviewing were from the previous day. “I do a lot of work,� Sanford said with a smile and a slight laugh. Daeke, who represents the ward in which the service center is located, said that he has dealt what he called this “headache� the last couple of years and that he receives telephone calls from people complaining about the location. And Daeke said he has made probably a dozen calls to Dunston over those couple of years about compliance issues, especially when the city began making changes in regulating repair shops. And Daeke noted such businesses did start coming into compliance. “This is one, in my opinion, from what I knew, was never in compliance or had a lot of issues with a lot of cars, no screening,� Daeke said, noting he never saw a dumpster for garbage, either. And there were stacks of tires there “that collected water for years,� Daeke said, noting the tires are now gone. Daeke referred to City Attorney John Zollicoffer, who said he has repeatedly spoken with Sanford about the situation. And Daeke spoke of the conflict between having a business with a neighborhood commercial classification when neighbors
have purchased homes and want peace and quiet. The issue is about compliance, Daeke said, adding that he counted more than 20 vehicles at the service center earlier in the day Tuesday and that he has seen as many as 30. And Daeke said he once passed by in the service center at night, saw the lights on inside and saw an engine pulled out, hanging on blocks in the parking lot. And Daeke said he has not seen fencing in the back. “So, I just don’t think that site is conducive to working on many cars,� Daeke said. “I think it’s the wrong place on Oxford Road.� And Daeke said he does not believe the screening will be able to separate the sight of vehicles from people, certainly not the traffic. And Daeke said he received a complaint by phone about noise resulting from work going on at the service center as late as 11 p.m. “I understand he has a business and I’m glad that he can do that, but operating that in that site on Oxford Road, next to those residences, in my opinion, doesn’t work, and in the opinion of people who have called me,� Daeke said. After Daeke spoke, Board Chairwoman Arline Richardson asked for a motion, which was followed by members not saying anything aloud for nearly a minute. Board member Cathy Ringley, with support from Badger, made a motion to deny the request for the special use permit. Ringley’s motion failed because Richardson, Vann, Bobbitt and board member Richard Brand voted in opposition. Vann then led a vote, with a second from Bobbitt and without dissent, for the special use permit with conditions. Contact the writer at bwest@ hendersondispatch.com.

director for Vance County Farm Service Agency. If there is a drought in 2010, farmers will not be eligible for the Livestock Forage Program unless they carried NAP coverage on their pasture acres. NAP coverage is only available for crops which federal crop insurance is not offered. NAP provides coverage from catastrophic crop losses due to a natural disaster. NAP guarantees 50 percent of a farm’s production history at 55
percent of the established price for the crop. NAP coverage will not begin until the later of the following dates: 30 calendar days after the date the application is filed or the date the crop is planted not to exceed the final planting date. To remain eligible for NAP, a farmer must annually report planted acres of the crop. Once the crop is harvested, the production must also be reported to the Vance County Farm Service Agency.
In the event of a crop failure caused by a natural disaster, the farmer needs to notify the Vance County FSA by completing a “Notice of Loss� on form CCC-576. The notice of loss must be executed within 15 days of the date the damage became apparent. Hight also noted that the sales closing dates for most vegetable crops are Jan. 1 or Feb. 28, 2010. Call the Vance County FSA for further details at (252) 438-3134 ext. 2.
Applications due for livestock disaster assistance The Vance County Farm Service Agency will accept applications in two programs for 2008 losses until Dec. 10. The programs are the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) and the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish (ELAP). LFP pays livestock
producers for grazing losses due to drought. To be eligible a producer must have all of his grazing land covered under the Non-insured Assistance Program (NAP) or insured through federal crop insurance. This requirement is waived if a farmer is a socially disadvantaged, a limited resource, or a beginning

farmer. The county must also be classified as being in a severe drought during the grazing season. Vance County met this requirement for 2008. Payments will be 60 percent the lesser of the average monthly feed cost or the calculated grazing loss. ELAP provides compen-
sation to eligible producers of livestock, honey bees, and farm-raised fish for losses due to disease, adverse weather, or other loss conditions that are not covered by other disaster programs. For more information on LFP and ELAP contact the Farm Service Agency at (252) 438-3134 Ext. 2. We’ll straighten everything out!

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT Information from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control)
2009 H1N1 and Seasonal Flu: What To Do If You Get Sick How do I know if I have the flu? You may have the flu if you have some or all of these symptoms: • runny or stuffy nose • chills • fever (not everyone) • body aches • cough • fatigue • headache • sore throat • sometimes diarrhea and vomiting
What should I do if I get sick? If you get sick with flu-like symptoms this flu season, you should stay home and avoid contact with other people except to get medical care. Most people with 2009 H1N1 have had mild illness and have not needed medical care or antiviral drugs and the same is true of seasonal flu. However, some people are more likely to get flu complications and they should talk to a health care provider about whether they need to be examined if they get flu symptoms this season. They are: • Children younger than 5, but especially children younger than 2 years old • People 65 and older • Pregnant women • People who have: • Cancer • Neurological disorders • Diabetes • Blood disorders (including sickle cell disease) • Heart disease • Chronic lung disease (including asthma or COPD) • Kidney disorders • Neuromuscular disorders (including MD & MS) • Liver disorders • Weakened immune systems (including people with AIDS) Do I need to go the emergency room if I am only a little sick? No. The emergency room should be used for people who are very sick. You should not go to the emergency room if you are only mildly ill. If you have the emergency warning signs of flu sickness, you should go to the emergency room. 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. If you go to the emergency room and you are not sick with the flu, you may catch it from people who do have it. How long should I stay home if I’m sick? CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other things you have to do and no one else can do for you. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine, such as TylenolÂŽ.) You should stay home from work, school, travel, shopping, social events, and public gatherings. Are there medicines to treat 2009 H1N1? Yes. There are drugs your doctor may prescribe for treating both seasonal and 2009 H1N1 called “antiviÂŹrals.â€? These drugs can make you better faster and may also prevent serious complications. This flu season, antiviral drugs are being used mainly to treat people who are very sick, such as people who need to be hospitalized, and to treat sick people who are more likely to get serious flu complications. Your health care provider will decide whether antiviral drugs are needed to treat your illness. Remember, most people with 2009 H1N1 have had mild illness and have not needed medical care or antiviral drugs and the same is true of seasonal flu. What should I do while I’m sick? Stay away from others as much as possible to keep from making them sick. If you must leave home, for example to get medical care, wear a facemask if you have one, or cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue. And wash your hands often to keep from spreading flu to others. CDC has information on “Taking Care of a Sick Person in Your Homeâ€? on its website. For more information, visit www.cdc.gov or www.flu.gov or call 1-800-CDC-INFO. This PSA Brought to You

Regulators will not revoke Cliffside permit RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina regulators have denied a request by environmental groups to revoke Duke Energy Corp.’s permit for coalfired generators at its new power plant in the western part of the state. The state Utilities Commission said Wednesday that a motion filed by the
North Carolina Waste Awareness and Reduction Network did not make sufficient arguments against the commission’s earlier approval to expand Duke’s Cliffside Steam Station near Charlotte. State regulators have deemed the project a minor source of pollution, but environmental groups say the company is violating federal clean air laws.
Businesses see workers’ comp coverage savings RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina businesses will pay nearly 10 percent less next year for workers’ compensation insurance under an agreement between the insurance industry and state regulators.

State Insurance Department spokeswoman Kristin Milam said Wednesday the decrease will save businesses that buy their coverage on the open market about $120 million. Companies forced to buy high-risk coverage will not be affected. The decrease sought by the North Carolina Rate Bureau takes effect in April and follows a decrease of more than 4 percent last year. Workers’ compensation pays medical care, partial lost wages and permanent disability to employees hurt on the job. North Carolina companies with at least three employees generally must buy the insurance unless they qualify to become selfinsured.

Warren Co. United Way campaign kicks off Friday
Staff members at Eaton-Johnson Middle School are shown standing under a banner made by the school’s art teacher, William Gay, and near a sign proclaiming their special observance.
Eaton-Johnson students and staff raise awareness on breast cancer Members of the staff at Eaton-Johnson Middle School dressed in pink in honor of breast cancer awareness observances at the school on Oct. 29. During the day all school staff members and students were encouraged to wear pink in recognition of cancer diagnoses, solidarity, treatment, support and survivorship. The Wear Pink Day was the culmination of the school’s observance of the fight against breast cancer throughout the week. The theme for the week was “ROARing for a Cure.” On each day, Larry Webb, Ph.D., principal of the school, or another staff member read information over the school’s public address system to students and staff about cancer awareness. On Monday, students and staff were encour-
aged to have a personal action plan to develop good health habits and be responsible for medical examinations to help with early detection and successful treatment of cancer. On Tuesday, everyone was encouraged to become informed about breast cancer awareness through reading and seeking available information from sources, including the Internet. On Wednesday, the
school family was encouraged to support local programs honoring cancer survivors, families, friends and research. On Thursday, the final day of the observance, students and staff members showed great support for their breast cancer awareness efforts by wearing various shades of pink. The month of October is recognized each year across the nation as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The United Way of Vance County, which helps support agencies in Warren County, will kick off the Warren County campaign with food and street collections on Friday.

Daily Meditation Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. Colossians 3:13
Our Opinion
‘The Obama Effect,’ both good and bad Tuesday’s sweeping victories by Republican candidates in races for governor and other key seats in Virginia and New Jersey are an early setback — some might suggest rebuke — of the first year of the Barack Obama administration. Oh, wait. No they aren’t. Because the White House says so. And so does CNN. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters on Wednesday that voters in Virginia and New Jersey went to the polls to work through “very local issues that didn’t involve the president.” CNN political editor Mark Preston agreed, saying that proof the races weren’t “solely” a referendum on Obama is found in his network’s polling, which showed that 56 percent of Virginians claimed the president was not a factor in their decision, and 60 percent said the same in New Jersey. But wait: That still means roughly 42 percent of voters in these states did consider the president to be a factor when making their decision for their state’s governor. And that figure is far higher than any other issue that was on their minds, local or federal. Preston reports that 26 percent of New Jersey residents cited property taxes as a major issue, while 20 percent mentioned corruption. In Virginia, health care (certainly a national issue in which Obama figures prominently) was on the minds of 24 percent of voters, while 15 percent named taxes and 7 percent cited transportation as a top issue. None of those issues remotely approach the percentage of voters in New Jersey and Virginia who at least stopped and thought about the president — good or bad — before voting for their state’s governor. And choosing Republicans. Moreover, voters who identified themselves as independents sided by 60 percent with Republican Chris Christie over wealthy Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine in New Jersey. And independents chose Republican Bob McDonnell by a 2-to-1 margin over Democrat Creigh Deeds in Virginia, where outgoing Democratic governor Tim Kaine serves as chairman of the Democratic National Committee and where Dems also lost races for lieutenant governor and attorney general. If it is fair to credit Obama with local and state Democratic election wins a year ago — and it is, for we believe and have written that present North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue would have lost a close race to Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory without “the Obama effect” — then it’s fair to place at least some of the blame for disappointing Democratic election results a year later at the president’s doorstep. Obama in January certainly inherited numerous economic, domestic and foreign policy problems. Some nine months later, with his party holding the majority in both houses of Congress, voters have seen little success by Obama and Democrats in addressing any of these issues. That certainly helps account for troubles retaining independents that carried Obama a year ago, and for losing major seats in states that Obama carried.
Quotable “By resigning ... and ending his embarrassing tenure in office, Justice Bardwell has finally consented to the will of the vast majority of Louisiana citizens and nearly every governmental official in Louisiana ... We are better off without him in public service.” — U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, in a statement after Louisiana justice of the peace Keith Bardwell resigned after weeks of calls for his ouster from civil rights groups and several public officials, including the governor, for refusing to marry interracial couples.
Poll shows that racial hope is stagnant despite Obama In my favorite “Star Trek” episode, Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the starship Enterprise encountered humanoids from a planet embroiled in war over an issue as clear as black and white. Literally. The planet Cheron is locked in a race war. This astonishes earthlings. To us, all Cheronians look alike. Their skin is evenly divided, half-black and half-white, down the middle of their faces and bodies. A perplexed Captain Kirk asks, what is the difference that Cheronians are fighting about? “Isn’t it obvious?” says a Cheronian who is white on his left side, “All of his people are white on the RIGHT side.” The episode, like all good fiction, helps us come to grips with painful realities. It first aired in 1969, a time when our country’s racial differences were erupting in riots and assassinations. The black-white planet was doomed by its inhabitants’ inability to deal even with the slightest diversity. Could we earthlings do better? Flash forward 40 years. That old Star Trek episode came to mind as I read the latest Gallup Poll on the state of the nation’s racial optimism. A year after two-thirds of Americans polled expressed high hopes for a post-racial future, Gallup says, “there is scarcely more hope” for a solution on race than there was before. If so, I am not surprised. In fact, I am somewhat relieved that we Americans are showing ourselves to be optimistic but also realistic. We know one election is not going to solve our racial challenges. We still have hope. We have only raised our
standards for how we define our long-sought “solution.” Since 1963, Gallup has been asking Americans whether we think relations between blacks and whites “will always be a problem for the United States, or that a solution will eventually be worked out.” The optimistic view that a solution will be worked out surged to an Clarence all-time high of 67 percent Page the day after Tribune Media Obama’s Services election, but a year later only 56 percent express that belief. That’s statistically the same as the 55 percent who felt that way back in December 1963, when Gallup first asked the question. “In short, despite all that has happened in the intervening decades,” says Gallup, “there is scarcely more hope now than there was those many years ago that the nation’s race-relations situation will be solved.” But Gallup should not sound so gloomy. The Americans in their survey are being realistic. Americans might want to be post-racial, but I think we also know in our heart of hearts that we’re not ready yet. After all, it was not that long ago that Gallup found our racial optimism at an all-time low of 29 percent. That was in October 1995, shortly after O.J. Simpson’s acquittal of double murder dramatically revealed the nation’s racial divide on national television. Seldom
has our state of race looked so bleak. Yet, Tiger Woods was becoming a new cultural hero across racial lines, Oprah Winfrey already was, and Colin Powell was seriously being urged by high-powered fans in both parties to run for president. Change was in the air. Hope was being kept alive. It is a sign of our progress that racism has been driven underground, if not eliminated. But racial suspicions rise to fill the gap. For example, it is hard for me to read about church pastors like the Rev. Wiley Drake of Buena Park, Calif., or Pastor Steven Anderson of Tempe, Ariz. — who have proudly prayed for Obama to die soon — and not wonder how much race might be a motivating factor in their prayers. But race is such a touchy topic these days that you can be accused of being a racist just for bringing it up. Obama’s thoughts on racial profiling led Fox News star Glenn Beck to call the president “a racist” who “hates white culture.” When Katie Couric later asked him, “What is ‘white culture’?” Beck looked surprised. He accused Couric of trying to “trap” him and refused to answer. That’s too bad. I, too, would like to know what he means by “white culture.” By understanding my differences with people who come from other cultures, I hope to gain a better understanding of what I have in common with them — even with Glenn Beck.

Justice, truth take back seat to intimidation Anthony McKinney got a life sentence for running down the street. The suburban Chicago street down which he ran, on Sept. 15, 1978, took him near the spot where security guard Donald Lundahl had earlier been shot to death. Police, still on the scene investigating, arrested McKinney, 18, who said he was running from gang bangers. With no physical evidence linking him to the crime, they ended up letting him go. But they did not forget him. Eventually, police turned up two men who said they had witnessed the crime, one of whom said that from 50 yards away, he saw McKinney, who had no history of violent crime, point a shotgun and say, “Your money or your life.” Detectives re-arrested McKinney. After a long session in the interrogation room, he signed a confession. At trial he recanted, saying he had been coerced. At the time of the killing, he said, he was home watching the Ali-Spinks fight. His father corroborated this, not that it helped. McKinney was convicted and sentenced to life. We are indebted to the Me-
dill Innocence Project, which gives journalism students at Northwestern University real world experience in investigative reporting, for the preceding account. And also for the following findings, based on a three-year investigaLeonard tion begun Pitts in 2003: Distributed by • McKCagle Cartoons inney was indeed running from gang bangers that night. Students found two of them who admitted chasing him, angry that he had damaged their car; • The “eyewitnesses” say police beat them into falsely fingering McKinney. Both had originally told police they were home watching the AliSpinks fight until the ninth round, which would have made it impossible for them to witness the murder; • The crime scene is a busy street. It is not possible to hear anything said or shouted there from 50 yards away;
• The now-retired police officer who led the investigation had a jacket full of brutality complaints and once faced federal charges for allegedly beating a suspect; • A convicted killer, Anthony Drake, told students he was “present” at the murder — and that McKinney was not. Students finished their investigation in 2006. McKinney, now 49, still languishes behind bars, his conviction under judicial review. Meanwhile, not content with having two crimes (i.e., the apparently still-unsolved murder of Donald Lundahl and the railroading of Anthony McKinney) on her hands, the prosecutor is busy committing a third. She’s trying to kill the messenger. Though students have already turned over copies of videotaped interviews with witnesses, affidavits and other evidence from their investigation, Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez wants more. Her office has subpoenaed personal information about the students and the class: copies of their expense reports, e-mails, class syllabi, grades and grading criteria.
Through a spokeswoman, Alvarez has portrayed this as a simple attempt to gather all pertinent information. But it isn’t. They already have that. What it is, is a fishing trip. What it is, is overreach. What it is, is a crude attempt at intimidation by officers of a justice system whose shoddy work stands exposed. What it is, is a warning to the next person who dares dig up unwelcome news. And what it is, is a fresh reminder, in this era where some of us think we can get by with bloggers and “citizen reporters,” of why good journalism matters, still. Sally Daly, Alvarez’s spokeswoman, told the New York Times, “At the end of the day, all we’re seeking is the same thing these students are: justice and truth.” As far as is known, she said this with a straight face. The Innocence Project is fighting the subpoena. Here’s to their success. Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald, 1 Herald Plaza, Miami, Fla., 33132.

Obama offers schools money to back initiatives President pushes link between pay, student test scores By JULIE PACE Associated Press Writer
MADISON, Wis. — Pushing for a link between student test scores and teacher pay, President Barack Obama on Wednesday dangled $5 billion in federal grants to states willing to undertake a topto-bottom overhaul of their schools in support of White House priorities. The day after fellow Democrats lost gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, Obama tried to turn attention to his education agenda, an area in which he has made significant progress. While the president said his first obligation was bringing the U.S. economy back from the brink of collapse, he added that long-term economic success can only be achieved by making investments in education. “There is nothing that will determine the quality of our future as a nation or the lives our children more than the kind of education we provide them,” Obama said while speaking at a Wisconsin middle school. Obama came to Wisconsin a day before state lawmakers here planned to vote to lift a ban on using student test scores to judge teacher performance. The Obama administration has said that such restrictions would hurt a state’s chances of getting part of the $5 billion competitive grant fund, dubbed “Race to the Top.” “If you’re willing to hold yourselves more accountable, if you develop a strong plan to improve the quality of education in your state, we’ll offer you a grant to help make that plan a reality,” he said. Obama’s $787 billion economic stimulus bill included the education grants — the most money a president has ever had for overhauling schools — for which states can compete. Only Education Secretary Arne Duncan — not Congress — has control over who gets it. And only some states, perhaps 10 to 20, will actually get the money. Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle, a Democrat, said his state needs to compete for those grants. “We know, we have to step it up,” Doyle said. “We have to face a hard truth here in Wisconsin that our achievement gap is among the worst in the nation.” Without the stimulus money the state has already received, Wisconsin would have cut the state’s education budget by 10 percent, he said. Those budgets are under pressure in every state, Obama aides acknowledged. Nine states so far have taken steps to compete, and Wisconsin was expected to vote Thursday to lift a ban on using student test scores to judge teachers. That helps clear the way for an Obama priority: teacher pay tied to student performance. “They had to make some
At least 11 victims at Cleveland home CLEVELAND (AP) — Authorities say they have confirmed a total of at least 11 victims whose remains were found in the Cleveland home of a sex offender. The Cuyahoga County coroner’s office said Wednesday that a skull found in a bucket in Anthony Sowell’s basement belonged to a body they have not yet found. Authorities also say they have identified one of the
victims as 52-year-old Tonia Carmichael, who disappeared a year ago. Police Chief Michael McGrath says her remains were buried in the back yard and had marks indicating she was strangled. Carmichael’s daughter Markiesha CarmichaelJacobs says her mother struggled with drug addiction and frequented Sowell’s neighborhood.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan looks on at left Wednesday as President Barack Obama meets with students at Wright Middle school in Madison, Wis. changes just to join the race,” Obama said. Traveling with Obama aboard Air Force One, Duncan said the grants have helped to bring about change quickly. “We have to get better faster,” the education secretary told reporters. “There are teachers every single year where the average child in their class is gaining two years of growth — two years of growth per year of instruction. That is Herculean work. Those teachers are the unsung heroes in our society. And nobody can tell you who those teachers are.” States can’t apply for the money yet, and relatively few may end up getting grants, but it’s a key incentive for Obama to push forward his educa-
tion plan. The administration can’t really tell states and schools what to do, since education has been largely a state and local responsibility throughout the history of the U.S. But the grants gives Obama considerable leverage. He sees the test score data and charter schools, which are publicly funded but independent of local school
boards, as solutions to the problems that plague public education. The national teachers unions disagree. They say student achievement is much more than a score on a standardized test and say it’s a mistake to rely so heavily on charter schools.
CHICAGO (AP) — One of the nation’s largest doctors’ groups is getting criticized and losing members over its six-figure alliance with the Coca-Cola Co. The deal will fund educational materials about soft drinks on a health Web site run by the American Academy of Family Physicians. The group is based in suburban Kansas City, Kan.
Wayne Kinton Authorized Agent (252) 438-2635 wayne@cmiins.com
The academy’s leader, Dr. Douglas Henley, said Wednesday that the deal won’t influence the group’s public health messages. But critics point to research linking soft drinks with obesity, and they think Coke will try to water that down. A Coca-Cola spokeswoman says the partnership will provide education based on sound science.

The New York Yankees celebrate winning Game 6 of the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday in New York. The Yankees won 7-3 to win the series.
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Tomas Vokoun made 31 saves for his second straight shutout, Steven Reinprecht opened the scoring early in the third period, and Florida extended Carolina’s winless streak to 10 games with a 3-0 victory Wednesday night. Vokoun beat St. Louis 4-0 on Saturday. Cory Stillman added a power-play goal and an assist, and Reinprecht also had an assist. Defenseman Bryan Allen scored an empty-net goal with 2:01 left. Cam Ward stopped 22 shots for Carolina, 0-6-0 in the road. The Panthers have won three straight after opening 2-7-1. Carolina, 0-7-3 during its losing streak, hasn’t won since beating Florida 7-2 on

Yankees win No. 27
Matsui’s six RBIs help Pettitte, Yankees win Game 6, 7-3 By MIKE FITZPATRICK AP Baseball Writer
NEW YORK — Paint the town in pinstripes! Nearly a decade after their dynasty ended on a blooper in the desert, the New York Yankees are baseball’s best again. Hideki Matsui tied a World Series record with six RBIs, Andy Pettitte won on short rest and New York beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 in Game 6 on Wednesday night, finally seizing that elusive 27th title. It was the team’s first since winning three straight from 1998-2000. Matsui, the Series MVP, powered a quick rout of old foe Pedro Martinez. And when Mariano Rivera got the final out, it was ecstasy in the Bronx for George Steinbrenner’s gofor-broke bunch. What a way for Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and crew to christen their $1.5 billion ballpark: One season, one championship for the franchise with more titles than any other in pro sports. And to think it capped a season that started in turmoil — a steroids scandal involving A-Rod, followed by hip surgery that kept him out until May. “My teammates and organization stood right next to me,” Rodriguez said. “We’re going to enjoy it, and we’re going to party!” During postgame ceremonies on

New York’s Alex Rodriguez reacts after the Yankees won Game 6 Wednesday. the field, the big video board in center flashed: “Boss, this is for you.” And commissioner Bud Selig dedicated the moment to Steinbrenner. About 100 miles south, disappointment. For Chase Utley and the Phillies, it was a frustrating end to another scintillating season. Philadelphia fell
two wins short of becoming the first NL team to repeat as World Series champions since the 1975-76 Cincinnati Reds. Ryan Howard’s sixth-inning homer came too late to wipe away his World Series slump, and Phillies pitchers rarely managed to slow Matsui and the Yankees’ machine. In a fitting coincidence, this championship came eight years to the day after the Yankees lost Game 7 of the 2001 World Series in Arizona on Luis Gonzalez’s broken-bat single off Rivera. New York spent billions trying to get back. At long last, it did. “We’re looking forward to this parade,” Jeter said. Hey Babe and Yogi, Mr. October and Joltin’ Joe — you’ve got company. Mark Teixeira, CC Sabathia and a new generation of Yankees have procured their place in pinstriped lore. And for the four amigos, it was ring No. 5. Jorge Posada, Jeter, Pettitte and Rivera came up together through the minors and were cornerstones for those four titles in five years starting in 1996. Now, all on the other side of age 35, they have another success to celebrate. And surely they remember the familiar parade route, up Broadway through the Canyon of Heroes. Please see YANKEES, page 3B
Pirates preparing for desperate Hokies By JOEDY McCREARY AP Sports Writer
GREENVILLE — Under normal circumstances, playing Virginia Tech is usually difficult enough to concern Skip Holtz. But the East Carolina coach expects even more urgency from the 22nd-ranked — and increasingly desperate — Hokies when the teams meet Thursday night. The Hokies are clinging to a national ranking after two straight losses, trying to avoid their first three-game losing streak since 2003 and visiting a team that knocked them off last year by turning the tables on Beamerball. Naturally, the Pirates expect their full attention. “This football team will bounce back,” Holtz said. He just hopes to hold off that comeback for another week and deliver chip-on-the-shoulder East Carolina another program-validating victory over one of college football’s elites. There are plenty of reasons why this might qualify as a tricky situ-

Warriors fall short in upset bid So. Lee breaks late tie to advance to round two of state tournament By ALEX PODLOGAR The Sanford Herald
SANFORD — With 10 minutes remaining Wednesday night, J.F. Webb was knotted up with top-seeded and undefeated Southern Lee. But the Cavaliers’ leading scorer, senior Jake Brower, knocked in the goahead goal on a rebound shot off of goalkeeper Geoff Cash around minute 70, breaking the 1-1 tie. Southern Lee held on for the 3-1 win in round one of the NCHSAA 3A state tournament. Before Brower’s seasonsaving chip shot, Webb was in position to pull what would have been a monumental upset. The Warriors, the No. 3 seed out of the Carolina 6 Conference, controlled the pace of play through much of the first half, despite trailing 1-0 at the break. But the Warriors put the Cavaliers (22-0) on their heels when Alex Elliot struck a rocket that squirted between the legs of Southern Lee goalkeep-
er Josh Hoover with 12 minutes remaining. “In the second half, honestly, I thought we were going to win the game,” said Webb coach Allie Urbanski, who guided her team out of a midseason six-game losing streak and into the playoffs. “We had the momentum and (Southern Lee) was definitely frazzled.” “It game them a tremendous amount of energy,” Southern Lee coach Jason Burman said of the Warriors’ goal. “The game was going along, plodding along, and looking like it was going to finish 1-0 or 2-0. But then they scored the goal, and it became a street fight.” But Brower settled things down for the Cavaliers — at least for the next six minutes. Clinging to the 2-1 lead with just four minutes to go, Southern Lee fouled Webb’s Toby Bellisimo a yard outside the penalty box. The foul gave Bellisimo a close-range shot Please see WEBB, page 3B

Henderson Middle finished up its 2009 football season with a 22-8 win over Cedar Creek Wednesday.
By MARK LONG AP Sports Writer
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida coach Urban Meyer believes Southeastern Conference officials missed a late hit on Tim Tebow in Saturday’s game against Georgia. Meyer said Wednesday the crew calling the game should have flagged Bulldogs linebacker Nick Williams for knocking his quarterback to the ground well after he had gotten rid of the football. Meyer sent video of the play to Rogers Redding, the league’s coordinator of officials. Meyer declined to reveal what the SEC told him, saying he didn’t “want to step out of line.” Last week the SEC changed its discipline policy about coaches publicly criticizing officials, making the punishment either a fine or a suspensions and doing away with the reprimands. It was unclear whether Meyer would be fined for commenting on officiating. Meyer told reporters on the SEC conference call the play was directly in front of the referee and should have penal-
CHARLOTTE (AP) — Jake Delhomme has recovered from a chest injury, but the Carolina Panthers are without a healthy fullback ahead of Sunday’s game at New Orleans. Delhomme practiced Wednesday, three days after getting hit in the chest while throwing a pass in the win over Arizona. He was taken to a hospital for a CT scan, which showed no internal injuries. Fullback Brad Hoover sprained his right ankle in the third quarter Sunday and was carted off the field. His backup, rookie Tony Fiammetta, later left with a concussion. Both players missed practice Wednesday. Receiver Muhsin Muhammad (knee), running back Jonathan Stewart (Achilles’ tendon), safety Charles Godfrey (ankle), linebacker Landon Johnson (shoulder) and tight end Dante Rosario (knee) also sat out.
ALAMEDA, Calif. — Coach Tom Cable said Wednesday that he has spoken with Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis about allegations that Cable has a history of violent behavior toward women. “What we talked about is between us and we’ll keep it that way,” he said. Cable said the conversation came within the past two days and that his job status was not discussed.
CHAPEL HILL (AP) — North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell says Jessica Breland’s Hodgkin’s lymphoma has gone into remission, though it’s still unclear whether the senior will be able to play this season. Hatchell said Wednesday that Breland finished her five-month course of chemotherapy last week and will have a scan next week that could determine whether she needs additional treatments. However, Hatchell says she is still leaning toward redshirting Breland this year and her return to the lineup would be a “pleasant surprise.” Breland didn’t speak to reporters attending the team’s preseason media day. She averaged 14 points and 8.5 rebounds per game last year for the Tar Heels, and was a preseason all-Atlantic Coast Conference pick for this year.

Meyer believes Southeastern Conference officials missed a late hit on Tim Tebow in Saturday's game against Georgia. ized. Tebow handed off to running back Jeff Demps, took a few steps to his right and wasn’t looking when Williams came unblocked off the right edge and slammed into his chest. “That should have been a penalty in my opinion,” Meyer said. “Obviously, it should have been. You’ve got to protect quarterbacks. That’s the whole purpose. It’s right in front of the referee. I’m not sure how they’re going to handle that, but ... that
was one of the plays we did send in.” Meyer didn’t mention the play until asked about it Wednesday, possibly trying to avoid drawing punishment from the league. He also prefaced his comments by saying he has “great respect” for SEC officials and the way the league handles complaints. The SEC decided to stop handing down reprimands for ripping officials last month after three coaches in less than a
week were reprimanded. Commissioner Mike Slive was given full discretion by the league’s athletic directors and presidents to hand out the punishment. He will determine the amount of fines and lengths of suspensions on a case-bycase basis. The SEC’s officiating — and public complaints by Tennessee’s Lane Kiffin, Mississippi State’s Dan Mullen and Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino — has drawn plenty of unwanted attention for the league. An officiating crew was suspended after it called penalties the league said were not supported by video evidence in the LSU-Georgia game Oct. 3 and the Arkansas-Florida game Oct. 17. The SEC publicly announced the suspensions, an unprecedented move by the conference. When told of Meyer’s comments Wednesday, Kiffin wondered what would happen to his league counterpart. “Urban Meyer? Criticized the officials?,” Kiffin said. “That will be interesting. We’ll see.”

Cable said he plans to coach the team for the remainder of the season. The Raiders are undergoing a “serious evaluation” of allegations made to ESPN by Cable’s first wife, Sandy Cable, and former girlfriend, Marie Lutz, that the coach physically abused them at various times during their relationships. Cable acknowledged striking Sandy Cable with an open hand in a statement on Sunday. Cable said the altercation happened more than 20 years
ago and was the only time he’s ever touched a woman inappropriately. He stood by that statement Wednesday, declining to answer any questions on the topic. In other news, running back Darren McFadden (knee), receiver Chaz Schilens (foot) and offensive lineman Robert Gallery (leg) all returned to practice on a limited basis. Cable expects all three to be able to play when the team returns from its bye to face Kansas City on Nov. 15.
Defensive end Greg Ellis underwent arthroscopic surgery on his injured knee Wednesday and the team won’t know his status until next week. Cable also said that Samson Satele will remain the starting center when Gallery returns. Chris Morris began the season as the starting center before moving to guard when Gallery broke a bone in his leg on Sept. 20 against the Chiefs. Cable said Satele has been a bright spot for the team of late.
Sizzling fast Johnson leading NFL in rushing By TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee cornerback Cortland Finnegan is fast, very fast. And he refuses to even think about racing teammate Chris Johnson. Not even for fun. “There’s some things you just don’t do,” Finnegan said with a smile. “A Ferrari and a Toyota Corolla will not race. I feel like I’ll be a Toyota Corolla. I’m not going to race a Ferrari.” Johnson is the speedy second-year running back from East Carolina who is leaving defenders in his wake. He’s leading the NFL in yards rushing (824) and yards per carry with a whopping 6.9 average, and was the AFC offensive player of the week Wednesday for his franchise-record 228 yards rushing in last week’s 30-13 win over Jacksonville. Call it arrogant, but Johnson said he hasn’t seen anyone match his speed — measured at 4.24 seconds in a 40-yard dash — yet in the NFL. “I’m not all about my speed. I can make people miss. I can break tackles,” he said. It’s part of Johnson’s march to being one of the NFL’s best, and this season’s goal is 2,000 yards, which has been done only five times and not since Jamal Lewis in 2003. If he reaches that, Johnson
plans to reward his linemen by buying them cars. He has topped 100 yards three times this season, and his 228 yards was the NFL’s best since Adrian Peterson rushed for 296 on Nov. 4, 2007, against San Diego. It was also the 16th best rushing total since the NFL/AFL merger in 1970. Some running backs may have more touchdowns than Johnson’s four, but each of his scoring runs has been longer than 52 yards, and he is busy rewriting the Tennessee record book, passing by names like Billy Cannon, Earl Campbell and Eddie George. Johnson has two of the franchise’s three longest TD runs with an 89-yarder and a 91-yarder — both this season. “It feels real good to look at some of the guys who have played before me, then come in and break a record. But records are made to be broken,” Johnson said. San Francisco (3-4) is next to defend Johnson this Sunday, and coach Mike Singletary’s 49ers rank second in the NFL against the run. They’ve allowed only one team to top 100 yards this season. But he said preparing for Johnson is very difficult and deceptive. “You really have to know where he’s at,” Singletary said. “You kind of hold your breath until he’s on the ground.” The scary thing? Titans
coach Jeff Fisher sees Johnson getting better. “He changes defenses. If the people aren’t familiar with him, then the result’s going to be what you’ve seen. He can get on the edge and outrun people. I think we will all agree that when he gets in the secondary ... no one’s going to catch him,” Fisher said. “It’s a touchdown.” A knock on Johnson coming out of East Carolina was whether he could survive running between the tackles at 5-foot-11, 200 pounds. It’s why he was still available at No. 24 overall in the 2008 draft. He’s proven so far he can do just that, including running over Jaguars safety Brian Russell on his 89-yard TD run. “He knows how to take

a hit,” Fisher said. “That’s the most impressive thing about him because of his size and stature, one would think this guy’s not going to get up, but he does.” Johnson turned in his 4.24-second run at the 2008 NFL Combine, the fastest in the last 15 years that they’ve used electronic timing. The inability of most teams to simulate that speed is what Fisher believes makes defending Johnson so difficult. He compared it to preparing for Barry Sanders and recalled that one team tried bringing a chicken out for the defense to chase. “That’s where it is with Chris.

YANKEES, from page 1B Indeed, a New York Citysized party is next. Nine years in the making, with all the glitz and glamour this tony town can offer. “You never know when you’re going to get back here,” Posada said. Carrying flags that read 2009 World Series champions, Joba Chamberlain and Nick Swisher led a victory lap around the warning track. Players high-fived fans, then sprayed bubby behind the mound. For the 79-year-old Steinbrenner, who has been in declining health, it was the seventh championship since he bought the team in 1973. Though he stayed back home in Tampa, Fla., he certainly wasn’t forgotten. The grounds crew wore “Win it for The Boss” shirts last week, which were on sale outside the ballpark Wednesday. New York wasted its chance to wrap things up

New York’s Hideki Matsui watches his two run RBI double during the fifth inning of Game 6 Wednesday. Matsui had six RBIs, tying a World Series record, in the Yankees’ win. in Game 5 at Philadelphia, then set its sights on clinching the World Series at home for the first time since 1999. While nine years between titles is hardly a drought for most teams, it was almost an eternity in Yankeeland. New York’s eight seasons without a championship was the third-longest stretch for the Yankees
since their first one, following gaps of 17 (1979-95) and 14 (1963-76). Reggie Jackson’s three homers in Game 6 against the Los Angeles Dodgers made the Yankees champs in ’77. On this November night, Matsui delivered a sublime performance at the plate that must have made Mr. October proud. Playing perhaps his final
game with the Yankees, Matsui hit a two-run homer off Martinez in the second inning and a two-run single on an 0-2 pitch in the third. A slumping Teixeira added an RBI single in the fifth off reliever Chad Durbin, and Matsui cracked a two-run double off the right-center fence against lefty J.A. Happ. A designated hitter with balky knees, Matsui came off the bench in all three games at Philadelphia. Still, he had a huge Series, going 8 for 13 (.615) with three homers and eight RBIs. His go-ahead shot off an effective Martinez in Game 2 helped the Yankees tie it 1-all. Bobby Richardson was the only other player with six RBIs in a World Series game, doing it for the Yankees in Game 3 against Pittsburgh in 1960. Richardson had a first-inning grand slam and a two-run
said. “But I think we stuck with them. I’m sad to see the season end, but I think we went out strong.” Urbanski said her team played pressurefree soccer against the Cavaliers. “I told the guys at halftime that we had nothing to lose and everything to gain,” she said. “They just had fun with it.” The coach said that the strong Carolina Conference competition prepared them for the match
against a tough Southern Lee team. “Cardinal Gibbons and Chapel Hill — they’re just powerhouses. They definitely prepare you for what you have to face.” Southern Lee will host past playoff nemesis Burlington Williams at 7 p.m. Friday. The Cavaliers have lost twice in the last three years to Williams in the playoffs, but each of those games were on the road. Webb finishes its first season under new coach
Allie Urbanski at 12-12. She will return to coaching in the spring, when she’ll be at the helm of the girls’ varsity team. Urbanski said she has a strong group of guys returning next season, but the team will be losing eight seniors. “It’s going to be tough. Our senior class is so strong,” she said. “They just are a force on and off the field.” Dispatch sports editor Eric S. Robinson contributed to this report.
PIRATES, from page 1B Pirates (5-3) — won by a blocked punt returned for a score in the closing minutes — has given them a belief they can beat Virginia Tech again. “We had a tough loss, but I think what we are playing for is pride in each other and pride in the football team, and we just have to go out and try to get a win,” Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said. That’ll be much easier if the Hokies can hit a few big plays against an East Carolina defense that is susceptible to them. Ten of Tech’s touchdowns have come on plays covering at least 30 yards. The Pirates have allowed at least one scoring pass of at least 40 yards in five of their seven games against Bowl Subdivision teams, and in their last three games have allowed
course a bunch of Yankees: Yogi Berra (10 titles), Mickey Mantle (seven) and Whitey Ford (six) in 1962, according to STATS LLC. For Joe Girardi, a threetime Yankees champion as a player, it was the fulfillment of a mission. When he succeeded Joe Torre in October 2007, Girardi chose uniform No. 27, putting his quest on his back for all to see. His tenure didn’t start out so well, with New York missing the playoffs in its final season at old Yankee Stadium following 13 consecutive appearances. Steinbrenner’s wellpaid players hadn’t soaked themselves in bubbly after the season since Bernie Williams gloved Mike Piazza’s midnight flyout at Shea Stadium to win the 2000 Subway Series and cap the Yankees’ third straight championship and fourth in five years.

WEBB, from page 1B at the goal on a direct kick, but Hoover was able to get low and corral the skipping shot attempt. Two minutes later, Southern Lee’s Rolando Sanchez found Cejudo all alone on the right side.

single in the fourth. Matsui’s big hits built a comfortable cushion for a feisty Pettitte, who shouted at plate umpire Joe West while coming off the field in the fourth. Still, Pettitte extended major league records with his 18th postseason win and sixth to end a series. The 37-year-old lefthander, pitching on three days’ rest, became the first pitcher to start and win the clincher in all three postseason rounds. He beat Minnesota and the Los Angeles Angels in the AL playoffs. Pettitte lasted 5 2-3 innings, allowing three runs, four hits and five walks. Chamberlain and Damaso Marte combined for 1 2-3 innings of scoreless relief before Rivera secured the final five outs. It had been nearly a half-century since players had won five titles with one team. The last to do it? Of
TD tosses of 43, 80 and 96 yards. “We can not give up the home-run ball,” Holtz said. “I’d like to play one game where we don’t give up a 30-, 40-yard play for a touchdown. ... We can’t win a track meet. We’re going to have to win a baseball score. We’re going to have to win a low-scoring game, because we’re not going to be able — no one is able — to turn and just take that ball and move it up the field on them.” Maybe not, but North Carolina showed last week that it’s possible to find a few cracks in the traditionally tough Tech defense. The Tar Heels responded to their only deficit by going 78 yards in 16 plays and kicked a game-tying field goal with less than 3 minutes remaining. A
critical fumble by freshman star Ryan Williams moments later gave North Carolina the ball back with plenty of time to kick a winning field goal on the final play. “You have to move forward, and we have such a tough opponent coming up,” Beamer said. “It doesn’t take long for you to figure out you had better forget about North Carolina and start thinking about East Carolina, because this crowd can play.” This marks the Pirates’ first home game against a ranked team since they knocked off then-No. 8 West Virginia last September, the last in a run of three straight victories against Top 25 opponents that also included the Virginia Tech upset. The Hokies come to town for
the first time since the Michael Vick-led group claimed a 45-28 rout in 2000. “It’s going to be a great environment. It’s going to be a great situation,” Holtz said. “It’s going to be a great challenge for our football program.”
The Hurricanes were shut out for the third time this season. They have scored two goals or less in 11 of their 14 games. Reinprecht scored his ninth goal of the season when Stillman’s wrist shot bounced off his leg and through Ward’s pads. Stillman made it 2-0 at 13:46 when he tipped Bryan McCabe’s slap shot from the point. Carolina dominated the first period, outshooting Florida 21-4. It was the Hurricanes’ most shots in any period this season. Carolina had three power plays in a span of 7:56 in the period, but failed to score. The Hurricanes’ best chance came when Sergei Samsonov hit the right post with a shot from close range. Florida controlled play in the second period,
thanks in part to four Carolina penalties in a span of 8:55. Stephen Weiss hit the post on a backhand off a rebound.

Patience pays off for Panthers S Sherrod Martin By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer
CHARLOTTE — For a speedy guy, football success has come slowly for Sherrod Martin. He had to wait a year after high school before enrolling at Troy, then was hampered by two shoulder surgeries and a broken hand in college. Martin was buried on the depth chart at cornerback in his first training camp with Carolina. The Panthers then moved him to safety, only to see him slowed by a bruised knee. Two months of waiting ended Sunday, when an injury forced the 25-yearold rookie into the starting lineup at free safety. Martin responded with two of Carolina’s five interceptions in an upset win over Arizona, a performance that could earn the secondround pick the permanent starting job. “When they put him back there at the safety position, just watching him in

Carolina’s Sherrod Martin returns an interception in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against Arizona. The Panthers defeated the Cardinals 34-21. practice, you could tell he felt very comfortable playing that position,” reserve cornerback Dante Wesley said Wednesday. “To me, it really showed on Sunday how valuable he is.” Forced into action because of Charles Godfrey’s right ankle injury, Martin doubled Godfrey’s interception total in his 22 games as a starter. Martin raced across the field to grab Kurt Warner’s overthrown
Ravens OT Oher makes impression in Hollywood and NFL By DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Michael Oher is enjoying the kind of rookie season that might require Hollywood to make a sequel to a soon-to-be-released movie about his life. Drafted with the 23rd overall pick out of Mississippi, Oher has started every game for the Ravens (4-3). The 6-foot-4, 310-pounder played right tackle for the first four games, then replaced an injured Jared Gaither at left tackle for two weeks before returning to the right side last Sunday against Denver. “To come in here and play at a high level, that’s always impressive. I don’t care where you went to school,” center Matt Birk said Wednesday. “There’s a mental and physical adjustment playing in the NFL. Physically, he’s extremely gifted. And he plays with a great passion.” Oher has performed exceptionally well, but the path he took to get to the pros would be Hollywood-worthy even if he failed to get off the bench in Baltimore. Oher’s odyssey was detailed in the best seller “The Blind Side” by Michael Lewis. Oher received little attention from his parents and eventually became homeless. Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy took the teenager into their Memphis home, eventually adopted him and provided him with a means of getting through high school to qualify for college. Oher became a four-year starter and All-American at Mississippi. A movie based on the book, featuring Sandra Bullock as Leigh Anne Tuohy, will open in theaters later this month. “I am never ashamed of where I came from. Where I came from, a lot of people don’t make it out,” Oher said. “I think it has made me a tougher person, a better
player.” Oher hasn’t seen the movie, but anticipates his opinion of the film won’t differ much from his take on the book. “I read it, and some things in the book I didn’t like and stuff like that,” he said. “But in the end of the day, it all happened and it’s one of those things you have got to live with — and just keep growing every day.” Which is exactly what the 23-year-old Oher is doing on the football field. “I have great respect for Mike. I don’t know his whole story, but I certainly know I respect him, just the way he comes in here every day,” Birk, 33, said. “A lot of times you see guys come in this league as if they’re entitled and all that; Mike comes to work and is a gentleman. We have a lot of fun. He jokes around with me because I’m slightly older than he is. He’s just a joy to have around.” Guard Chris Chester, who lines up next to Oher on the right side, said, “He’s ahead of the curve, definitely, but I think that’s just a tribute to Mike’s maturity, his talent and his ability. He’s done a great job of beginning to realize his potential.” Despite being the subject of a book, the focus in a major movie and the butt of many jokes in the locker room, Oher remains the quiet, businesslike player he was when the Ravens drafted him in April. “He seems to be handling everything fine,” Birk said. “He can be classified as a good rookie, a guy that works hard, keeps his mouth shut and is getting better. Obviously he’s contributing and is a big reason for some of the success that we’ve had.” The release of the movie probably won’t inflate Oher’s humble opinion of himself. “I think I will be the same,” Oher said. “People don’t recognize me now and I don’t think they will in the next month.”
pass in the second quarter. Then after Chris Gamble forced a big hit to pop the ball free early in the fourth quarter, Martin was there for another pick that set up a field goal for a 31-14 lead. “It was just me running to the ball, something we preach about,” Martin said. “It just put me in the right place at the right time.” It appears the 6-foot-1, 198-pound Martin is now

playing the right position, too, after taking a difficult path to the NFL. He was in Troy’s recruiting class coming out of high school, but didn’t enroll until the following January and spent a year out of football. He then had surgery on both shoulders that forced him to redshirt as a junior. He returned the following season only to be slowed by a broken hand. He then moved from cornerback to safety as a senior and had an NCAA record three interceptions in one quarter against Alcorn State. “It just made my work ethic better. Two shoulder surgeries, a broken hand, I always felt like I was behind,” Martin said. “So I really take a lot a pride in working out in the weight room and things like that, the little things.” When Carolina took the Griffin, Ga., native with the 59th pick in April’s draft, the Panthers figured he’d be the No. 3 Northwest Division W L Pct GB Denver 5 0 1.000 — Oklahoma City 2 2 .500 2 1/2 Portland 2 3 .400 3 Utah 1 3 .250 3 1/2 Minnesota 1 4 .200 4 L.A.

cornerback. The job was open after Ken Lucas was released and Richard Marshall was promoted to starter. “He’s kind of a tweener guy. He was in college, both as a corner and as a safety,” coach John Fox said. “It’s a good skill set to have.” But Martin soon became lost in training camp. He plunged down the depth chart after being outplayed by seventh-round pick Captain Munnerlyn, who earned the nickel back job. “Captain, he’s really been doing a real good job. We motivate each other. We talk on and off the field,” Martin said. “When you see somebody with you doing good it only pushes you and forces you to take your game to the next level, also.” Injuries led the Panthers to switch Martin to safety, but he bruised his knee in the third exhibition game and was relegated to special teams once the regular season started.
That changed when Godfrey was hurt in Carolina’s loss to Buffalo on Oct. 25. The Panthers entered the Arizona game with only three interceptions in six games. They intercepted Warner five times, with Martin taking two game balls home with him. “I couldn’t have asked it any other way,” Martin said of his debut. Godfrey was no longer in a cast Wednesday, but he didn’t practice. Martin figures to start again Sunday against unbeaten New Orleans and its No. 1 ranked offense. Fox was noncommittal when asked if Godfrey would regain his starting job when he’s healthy again. If Martin turns in a repeat performance, it may be Godfrey’s turn to wait. “When his opportunity came he made the best of it,” Marshall said of Martin. “He made some great plays for the defense and we hope he continues to do it this week.”

Today’s answer
HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21-April 19). The gains don’t always have to come with pains. Maybe you’ve already suffered enough for success. By now you deserve a few easy wins. Take your luck as it comes, no guilt. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You feel best when you are ultra-productive. Some of the time you spend entertaining yourself at home could be spent making money instead. Educate yourself. Research new possibilities. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your sense of humor will actually help you earn more money. People will want to work with you because you lighten the mood and take the pressure off. And you’ll be a hit with customers and clients, too. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll join a competitive situation. Most of the players have been at this challenge for several months or years already. Don’t put pressure on yourself to win, but do aim to do your very best. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Things will happen to push you into the new era. For instance, that piece of machinery that’s on its last legs could finally give up the ghost and cause you to update your technology. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In order to choose the high road, you must first decide that in some way you are superior. See the current situation as small, and refuse to trifle with it. You’ll naturally rise up to a new path.

FOR BETTER
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is suggested all the time that you should laugh every day, and yet sometimes there seems to be a dearth of comedy in the world. That’s why it’s a good use of time to research new sources of entertainment. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everyone makes mistakes. One of your recent mistakes was listening to someone who is so insecure that he or she can’t help but put down everyone else, including you. Make it a point to ignore this person in the future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There is very little that is worth worrying about. Instead of worrying as a habit (or hobby!), let your worry be a call to action. Make the appointment you’ve been meaning to make. Fix it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s an interesting time in your life, but you may not realize this as you busily go about your day. Listen to moodboosting music. Choose an anthem for yourself to pull you through your current challenges. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The people who love you also need you and miss you. If you can carve out a minute to connect, do so. With a shared sentiment and a few good chuckles, you will make someone’s day — and your own, too. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your job is to take care of you. It might seem selfish, but today it would be selfish not to take care of yourself. That would only lead to others having to take care of you later. Think ahead. Treat yourself well.
