Third water district sign-up today BY AL WHELESS DAILY DISPATCH WRITER

Cozart Granville chairman

The third meeting to give out information and collect sign-up forms for Phase IA of Vance County’s Rural Water District will begin today at 6:30 p.m. at the Cokesbury Volunteer Fire Department. Similar meetings were held Dec. 1 at Carver Elementary School and Dec. 3 at Aycock Elementary School.

Jordan McMillen, the County’s director of Planning and Development, said Tuesday he wasn’t able to give a figure on the number of sign-ups so far. “We haven’t totaled it all in our software system yet,” McMillen explained. More than 2,400 sign-up forms have been mailed out to individuals, businesses, households and other property owners, according to the planning and development director.

They can be mailed back to the County, or brought in to his department, according to McMillen. He said members of his staff will be glad to answer any questions. Connection fees will be: • $125 prior to the start of construction, which might be in March or April. • $750 after work on the project is underway. • $2,000 after construction is completed.

He cites concern about young who have no hope OXFORD — Tony Cozart is the Granville County Commission chairman for 2009-10 and Dave Currin is the county’s No. 2 elected official. The two top positions are yearly ones. Cozart was elevated from vice chairman and replaced Hubert Gooch as chairman. Cozart served as chairman from 1991-92, 199596, 1997-98 and 2004-05. Currin served as vice chairman from 1997-98 and 2004-05. Humor and chuckles from the audience marked the change of Currin’s seating as he began picking up his paperwork and moving from his having been seated to the left of Gooch and to the right of Commissioner Ron Alligood. Currin told Alligood, “Nice being your neighbor.” “Dave, it’s been a pleasure,” Alligood told Currin

Lines will be run along any road where 80 percent of the residents sign up for water, according to McMillen. He said the same qualifying percentage will apply on roads with 12 to 14 houses per mile. “I think we will have enough sign-ups to run lines in the ground somewhere,” McMillen predicted.

EDC will ask to relocate office Rent less than half at Chamber headquarters BY AL WHELESS DAILY DISPATCH WRITER

County Commissioners will be asked to consider moving the Henderson-Vance Economic Development Commission’s office to the Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters on Garnett Street. The idea was approved by EDC board members Wednesday morning. They then asked County Manager Jerry Ayscue, who was present, to convey their recommendation to the Commissioners, and to talk with them about it. The successful motion had been made by Andrea Harris, who said the move could bring about greater coordination and marketing ability.

The current office on Graham Avenue is leased from Barnett Properties for about $1,350 a month, which includes utilities, Ayscue told the commission. Chamber President Bill Edwards offered the EDC space for two offices, including utilities, for $600 a month. The opportunity had been made available to the board in the past, but had not been acted upon. “If you are not going to take us up on it, we’d like to know so we can use it (the space) for something else,” Edwards told the board. “We feel this is a chance to put people closer together, and to forge a better working relationship,” he said. “Month-to-month is fine with us,” the Chamber president added. “We’re not looking for a

lease.” Recently, the EDC has been meeting in a conference room at The Bank of America on Garnett Street. In other business Wednesday, Chairman Sam Watkins said he hoped the commission could approve its proposed strategic plan during the February meeting or sooner. Dennis Tharrington, chairman of the Henderson-Vance Economic Partnership, told the board the work it is doing has been done before. He said that Team Vance produced such a set of guidelines at a cost of $150,000 in 2004, and is available for study and use. “You’re going to find exactly what you need,” Tharrington predicted. “We’re spinning wheels PLEASE SEE EDC, PAGE 4A

Utility rate hike vote falls to next commission Proposed increases would impact 2010-2011 budget BY WILLIAM F. WEST DAILY DISPATCH WRITER

OXFORD — The departing City Commission agreed to let the incoming commission decide whether to go ahead with a utility rate hike as recommended in a study. Commissioner Bob Williford led the vote at Tuesday evening’s meeting after departing Commissioner and Public Works Committee Chairman Paul Kiesow gave a report based on a rate study by Raftelis Financial Consultants of

Charlotte. Kiesow, in his report, cited declining usage of sewer and water services. In a Nov. 10 vote, the now-former commission put the matter on the agenda of the Tuesday evening meeting as old business, meaning Kiesow and the other three departing commissioners — Steve Powell, Bob Shope and Chance Wilkinson — would be in on the decision making. During the Nov. 30 agenda meeting, Kiesow said he was going to call for voting for a 17 percent increase in sewer fees and a 5 percent increase in water fees — as recommended in the study — with the increases to be set in the Fiscal Year 2010-2011 budget.

Wilkinson said he would vote no because he did not believe the soonto-be former commission should approve an 11th hour action prior to new commissioners being sworn in. After Kiesow at Tuesday evening’s meeting made a motion, Williford called for instead accepting the Raftelis study and letting the incoming commission make the decision about the rate. Kiesow withdrew his motion and Williford’s substitute motion was quickly and unanimously approved. The departing commission met for nearly an hour before adjourning. Contact the writer at bwest@hendersondispatch.com.

OXFORD — The majority of the departing City Commission approved a five-lot subdivision off Pine Cone Drive as a final plat, with an amendment requiring the developer to put down a paved turnaround. Mayor Pro Tem Howard Herring led the vote, with Commissioner Bob Shope being the lone dissenter. The vote came after concerns expressed by attorney and resident Yancey Washington, points raised by resident Dorothy Pruitt and extensive questioning of municipal administrative officials by the commissioners. The proposal is part of the original subdivision recorded in 1960. Developer Douglas Neil Gresham intends to build what is called Hall Ridge Drive, which will extend from one side of Pine Cone Drive through part of the middle of the subdivision and stop short of the opposite end of the encircling Pine Cone Drive. Washington, addressing Mayor Al Woodlief and the commissioners from the audience at Tuesday’s commission meeting, said while he is not opposed to such a development adjacent to his backyard, he has concerns about how the development is presently drawn out.

DAR chapter learns about American Indians in local area For their Thanksgiving meeting on Nov. 19 in the home of Vice Regent Janice J. Satterwhite, members of Old Bute Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), heard a condensed history of the American Indian in Vance County and North Carolina. The program by Mary Anee C. Davis, chapter chairman of the American Indians Committee, answered the question, “Who walked this way before us?� English settlers on the state’s Outer Banks were greeted by a friendly tribe of Croatans and they became the “Lost Colony.� Davis said, “No one believes they were killed by the friendly Indians, but moved inland and mingled with the tribe.� According to Davis, the primary tribes in the state were the Sioux, Tuscarora and Cherokees. Settlers to the Williamsborough area of Granville County (now Vance County) were met by a tribe of Saponi Indians on Nut Bush Creek, named for the abundance of hazel nuts. In the Tar RiverKittrell area, the Joseph Peace family found the Tuscarora. The British representative to the Indians was Col. William Eaton, whose home stood near the location of Crossroads School. He became known as “the

Father of Granville County� and was memorialized by a bronze plaque placed near the county line by the Oxford and Henderson DAR chapters. The plaque has since been stolen. “The Indians tried to be friendly but many nonChristian settlers were more concerned with land and gold, as promised by the English to encourage more settlers to come to America,� Davis said. The Indians only wanted to save land that they had developed as homes for generations.� In addition to warfare for conquest over the Indians, white settlers brought measles and smallpox which literally wiped out entire small tribes. One of the white man’s most outrageous treatments of the Indians was when President Andrew Jackson executed the “Trail of Tears,� forcing the Cherokees to move to Oklahoma. Many died along the way. “All white settlers were not unkind to the natives but introduced them to God and Jesus Christ,� Davis reported. “Before that, the Indians believed in a Great Spirit who governed the sun, moon, and stars and rewarded those who lived to please him. Many Protestant evangelists lived with the Indians, learned their

language, and taught them the Bible.� For the National Defense report, Ruby J. Lassiter continued the Indian theme, remarking that few politicians seem to be interested in improving conditions on the reservations or the substandard education, health, housing and benefits available to the Native Americans. She stated, “Although North Carolina can make a decision on building a new sea turtle hospital, the State Senate cannot agree on the Lumbee Indians’ quest for recognition.� Satterwhite, a certified diabetes patient Educator at Maria Parham Medical Center, reminded members and guests that November had been designated as Diabetes Awareness Month. She spoke briefly about myths and misconceptions concerning the disease. She stated that diabetes is caused by genetics, ethnicity, lifestyle and unknown factors. Regent Sarah DavisStancil reported that chapter Christmas gifts will be delivered to the VA Hospital in Durham. Also, she re-

viewed the chapter’s annual monetary gifts to committees as recommended by the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, with emphasis on donations to DAR schools and schools on the approved list. She was assisted in the opening ritual by chaplain Virginia F. Grissom.

municipal staff. Williford asked whether Washington would be happy with a paved turnaround. Washington said that he would like a culde-sac, but that a paved turnaround is better than a gravel one. Williford asked Gresham, who was in the audience, whether he would be willing to pave the turnaround. Gresham replied, “Yes sir.� Shope, a retired federal fire marshal, asked whether the city could require Hall Ridge Drive to be 26 feet wide. Hart said that the commissioners could add any types of rules and regulations, but that “you want to be consistent.� Hart added, “You don’t want to just do it just for this case and not for other cases.� “Now would be a good time to start,� Shope said. “That’s your decision,� Hart said. After Herring made the motion, Kiesow asked for the vote to include the paved turnaround. The newspaper asked Shope afterward why he voted no. Shope said he believes the design integrity of the Pine Cone residential area will be destroyed and said there are residents who will lose their backyard privacy. Commissioner Chance Wilkinson, who is an attorney, refrained from voting because he works at the same law office as Washington. Contact the writer at bwest@ hendersondispatch.com.

Hughes said he didn’t violate the related state law which requires a physical threat to be repeated a number of times. He didn’t threaten to physically harm Railnear, Hughes added.

Alleging a conspiracy against him, Vance Commissioner Scott Hughes expects to be acquitted of the misdemeanor charge against him during a hearing Dec. 17 in Craven County District Court. A warrant taken out by Russell Railnear of Havelock on Sept. 21 accuses Hughes of sending an e-mail threat to him on his Face Book page. According to a spokesman for the Havelock Police Department, Railnear told officers he had met Hughes’ estranged wife “at school.�

Railnear also mentioned to police, the spokesman said, that Hughes found out. The police account isn’t correct, according to Hughes, who said Tuesday that his former wife, Heather, isn’t involved in the situation. Hughes explained that the e-mail he sent threatened to tell Railner’s wife if he didn’t stop having an affair. The Commissioner described the woman as a friend he was living with for three days a week last summer at Emerald Isle. According to Hughes, he has information that the misdemeanor charge

fice and was told the state is not as concerned with the width of the future Hall Ridge Drive because a wider street is more necessary for an industrial district where a ladder truck may be needed to fight a fire. And Donham said the gravel turnaround would meet state requirements. Cantley, too, asked about the 30-foot municipal requirement. Hart said the proposal meets specifics for an adjoining street as a continuation of a street system. And Hart said the 20-foot width of the future Hall Ridge Drive would be comparable to the 18-foot width of Pine Cone Drive. The Planning Board and attorney Lori Dutra have already said they believe all safety concerns have been addressed and the board and municipal staff have unanimously recommended approving the proposal. Gresham will be required to pave Hall Ridge Drive, install sewer and water lines and add a hydrant. And the recommendation included the temporary turnaround. During Tuesday’s commission meeting, Cantley asked City Attorney Tom Burnette whether the city could be sued if the commission denied Gresham’s request. “Can be,� Burnette replied. Herring said that, as commissioners, “We are not subject matter experts� on regulations and emphasized the recommendation from the Planning Board, Dutra and the

sioner Paul Kiesow, said he would check. Pruitt at Tuesday’s commission meeting cited concerns about flooding and asked why there could not be a permanent culde-sac. And Pruitt noted the newspaper having quoted Herring as saying at the agenda meeting that, “I hate to say this, but I think we definitely have some special interest groups involved here.� Pruitt, in rebuttal Tuesday, said, “The classification ‘special interest groups’ could be more accurately stated as homeowners who have a vested interest in the safety of their neighborhood.� After Pruitt spoke, Kiesow asked whether storm water applies to this. City Manager Mark Donham said there is going to be a small, temporary pond to prevent runoff from the construction of Hall Ridge Drive and the installation of utilities. Donham said the area to be developed will not cause enough storm water runoff to require a permanent pond. Commissioner Bob Williford is a Pine Cone Drive resident. Williford, focusing on the width of the future Hall Ridge Drive, asked, “What’s the deal with the 30 feet?� Donham said that firefighting regulations require at least 20 feet of width and that a 26-foot wide segment is required when there is a hydrant. Donham said he phoned the state fire marshal’s of-

east of the city center and adjacent to the junction of Williamsboro Street/Business U.S. 158 and Salem Road. Pine Cone Drive is 18 feet wide. Washington said he understands the future Hall Ridge Drive is supposed to be 20 feet wide, with no curbs and gutters, and the turnaround to be temporary and filled with gravel, almost in what has been described as a hammerhead type of design. Washington said he would submit that, “We can do better in 2009.� Additionally, Washington expressed concern that a fire truck could get stuck in the gravel turnaround in the midst of the rainy season. Washington called for a paved turnaround and a wider Hall Ridge Drive, with curbs and gutters. Pruitt, at the speaker’s podium, said the municipal regulations specifies a drive or a street be 30 feet wide and noted the zoning ordinance approved in 2003 revoked any grandfather clauses for this plat. Pruitt additionally cited the newspaper’s coverage of the Nov. 30 commission agenda meeting, at which Planning Director Cheryl Hart said the proposal meets municipal standards for handling storm water. During that meeting, Commissioner Walter Cantley asked whether there would be a ditch. City Public Works Director Larry Thomas said he thought there was going to be a pond.

EDC, from page one (now).� Watkins stressed that “The critical part is to get our plan in place.� As for what Team Vance did, he added that “It may be helpful.� Edwards commented that issues haven’t changed a lot since Team Vance’s version was put together in 2004. “What Team Vance did was very helpful and was very solid,� Ayscue told the group. “That was five years ago, so it would have to be updated a little bit.� According to Ayscue, “It has got to be your plan. It’s a great foundation that has been laid. I think we need to lay more bricks on the foundation.� It was then that Watkins said: “We can’t go back. We need to adopt the plan we are working on.� In other business, members of the board praised efforts to establish an area farmers’ market. James “Jim� R. Hinkle, the County’s new interim economic development director, said, “The main objective of economic development is to help raise the level of livability for residents.�

He mentioned the success of farmers’ markets in Pittsboro, Durham and Hillsboro. Hinkle mentioned that “a lot of women� do their shopping at them. Also Wednesday, Ayscue told the board that the North Carolina Rural Center has unofficially notified the County of approval of its $40,000 application for a plan/feasability study for the proposed sewer line along U.S. 1 South. The grant requires a 10 percent match of up to $4,400 from the County. Concerning the planning effort for the sewer line, Ayscue said, “We must have full involvement from this commission.� Then Ayscue asked whether some members of the EDC could help with “oversight� to make sure that things needed to be done are carried out with the grant. At one point, Watkins said, “It would be helpful to feel like we are working with the County and not passing things up there that will stall.� Contact the writer at awheless@hendersondispatch.com.

The vice chairman sits to the chairman’s right. Cozart expressed his appreciation to Gooch, noting Gooch has been a longtime leader in the community and noting Gooch taught his oldest brother. “And he has continued to be truly a Granville County man,� Cozart said. Cozart went on to say that he does not know if any year would cause more concern than the upcoming one because of the weak national economy, but that, as he looks to his right and his left, there is much experience on the commission and the county staff. And Cozart said he believes the county will rise to the challenge. Cozart additionally said he wants his fellow commissioners to think about having a formal ceremony in 2010 expressing gratitude to the industries who have stayed in the county through “thick and thin� and who have been great corporate citizens. “In this climate that we

live, retention may be our best recruitment,� Cozart said. Cozart expressed concerns about those who are still young but who have no hope in life, noting many individuals and groups have tried to do the best they can to try to change such a picture. And Cozart said he would like for his fellow commissioners to think about something the county can do, perhaps working with existing efforts in place to try to give more of the county’s young people hope and to give them an opportunity to see there is a good side of life. Cozart said he wants to show “that displaying good character traits is okay and they don’t have to be cool by doing some of the bad things that we see happening.� Gooch, moments before he stepped aside as chairman, expressed appreciation to his fellow commissioners and commended County Manager Brian Alligood and Commission Clerk Bobbie Wilson. The commission, which met Monday, will meet again on Jan. 4. Contact the writer at bwest@ hendersondispatch.com.

Mayor Al Woodlief, who was re-elected Nov. 3, also was sworn in. The mayor serves a two-year term. The new commission additionally approved Woodlief’s choices for which commissioners he wants to serve on what committees. The new commission met for approximately 30 minutes.

BofA repays $45 billion in government bailout funds BY IEVA M. AUGSTUMS AP BUSINESS WRITER

CHARLOTTE — Bank of America Corp. said Wednesday it has repaid the entire $45 billion it owed U.S. taxpayers as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program. Bank of America, which announced its agreement with the U.S. Treasury to repay TARP last week, funded the repayment through a combination of cash on hand and the sale of $19.29 billion of securities that would convert into common stock. The stock increase remains subject to shareholder approval. In a prepared statement, CEO Ken Lewis said the company cleared a key hurdle in demonstrating the economy’s broader health, and said the bank

looks “forward to continuing to play a key role in the economic recovery.� Bank of America was among hundreds of banks that received government support through the government’s TARP program. The bank received $25 billion as part of the initial round of investments when the credit crisis peaked last fall. It received an additional $20 billion in January shortly after it acquired Merrill Lynch in what was a heavily scrutinized deal. Repayment of the funds frees the bank from the government restrictions that have hampered its search for a new CEO, including executive pay limitations. Bank of America has been searching for a successor to Lewis since it announced in late September

that he planned to retire on Dec. 31. Bank of America’s board met Tuesday to discuss potential replacements for Lewis, but no decision has been made. Bank of America spokesman Scott Silvestri said Wednesday that a decision will be made “in the near future.� Bank of America is considering both external and internal candidates to succeed Lewis. BofA’s Chief Risk Officer Gregory Curl and Brian Moynihan, the head of consumer banking, are among the top contenders. However, both men have been criticized by analysts as lacking experience or being too close to the Merrill deal. Bank of America shares fell 2 cents to $15.39 Wednesday.

BUSINESS WIRE Texas preps league strikes Nike deal AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The governing body of public high school sports in Texas is entering a deal to make Nike Inc. its official brand. The University Interscholastic League has about 1,300 member schools. Chief of Staff Kim Rogers said Wednesday the contract doesn’t require schools to use Nike products, but does offer discounts on uniforms, apparel and footwear. Rogers says the contract was put out for public bid several months ago. Terms were not disclosed. Nike is based in Beaverton, Ore.

Hollywood breaks revenue record of $9.68 billion LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hollywood has set a new box-office record as the year’s domestic ticket sales head beyond $10 billion for the first time. Revenues for the year have inched ahead of the previous record of $9.68 billion set in 2007, according to Hollywood.com box-office analyst

Paul Dergarabedian. With three weeks left in the year and huge films still to come, Dergarabedian projects that domestic revenues will climb to $10.6 billion for 2009. Among the potential blockbusters arriving by Christmas are Robert Downey Jr.’s “Sherlock Holmes,� James Cameron’s “Avatar� and an “Alvin and the Chipmunks� sequel.

SEC targets rating agencies’ role in meltdown WASHINGTON (AP) — The Securities and Exchange Commission’s enforcement chief says his staff is targeting Wall Street rating agencies and their role in the financial meltdown. The three dominant agencies — Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings — have been widely criticized for failing to give investors adequate warning of the risks in subprime mortgage securities, whose collapse touched off the financial crisis. SEC Enforcement Director Robert Khuzami told a Senate hearing that his staff is “looking very closely at

credit rating agencies� and is “focused on that area.� Khuzami says a 2007 law empowers the SEC to bring enforcement actions against rating agencies based on false statements they may have made.

Big, savory rodent: Bolivia exports capybara jerky LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) — Where some see only an edible, hog-sized jungle rodent, others see economic opportunity. Indigenous communities from Bolivia’s eastern lowlands are planning to export dried meat of the world’s largest rodent to Venezuela, where the animal is widely consumed. The pioneering effort is endorsed by the Friends of Nature Foundation. Foundation leader Ruth Delgado says plans to export the meat of between 200 and 500 capybara a year are environmentally sustainable. The shy, shorthaired rodents with blunt snouts and no tails regularly grow to 145 pounds as they graze on the banks of rivers and lakes. The product must sell for $4.45 a pound to be profitable.

New ethics rules approved for boards, commissions RALEIGH (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue says new restrictions for people who serve on North Carolina’s boards and commissions will ensure appointees serve citizens and not leave the impression they are serving their own interests. Perdue signed three executive orders Wednesday that also expand the number of panels and officials who are subject to state ethics laws or ethics rules in her

administration. One order makes it grounds for her to remove an appointee if they are indicted on a felony or refuse to cooperate with a federal or state investigation. It also requires that her appointees attend at least 75 percent of a board’s meetings each year or face getting fired.

Hutchison, the assistant dean of admissions for Campbell University’s law school, and Associate Justice Paul Newby of the N.C. Supreme Court. Diane Wright, director of law-related education for the N.C. Bar Association, encouraged the students to consider community colleges as a starting point for their higher education. Wright started her education at a Florida community college. “Community college helps you build self-assurance and your skill levels,” Wright said. “After graduating from community college with a 4.0 grade point average, I was accepted by all the four-year schools where I applied.” Finally, students enjoyed hearing a motivational presentation by District Court Judge Herbert L. Richardson of Lumberton. A Nash County native, Richardson became the youngest graduate of North Carolina Central University’s law school and the youngest judge in North Carolina when he first took office.

Habitat for Humanity partners with local entrepreneur to get computers to students Imagine you’re a young student getting your homework assignment and thinking, “I’m not sure that I’ll be able to get it done.” That’s the thought of a student who doesn’t have a computer at home and, in turn, has to share time with other students that all head to a local library and sign up to get in line to use the computers for 30 minutes at a time. But a local entrepreneur named Kirk Royster is changing all of this. Royster, owner and operator of Boris Kirk LLC, is currently focusing primarily on providing needy students at West Oxford Elementary School and Stovall-Shaw Elementary School with a computer and computer peripherals of their own. Boris Kirk LLC also has plans to help students in Granville, Provided By: Vance Services and Wake counties in North Carolina and Mecklenburg County in Virginia. Royster is accepting donations of laptops and desktops (Macintosh or Windows), monitors, printers and accessories, especially WiFi ready accessories — basically anything that middle school students need to complete their homework assignments and projects. Once in

possession of these new, used or gently worn supplies, he cleans them, upgrades them, adds appropriate software to them, and makes them as internet ready as possible. He also wipes the hard drives so that the original owners’ information is completely deleted. Royster prefers laptops so that the students can take them to school and

to the library. Boris Kirk LLC, which is a for-profit entity, is also accepting financial donations to aid in preparing computers for delivery though these donations are not tax deductible. Granville County Habitat for Humanity is partnering with Royster in the effort. The Habitat for Humanity

ReStore will now accept laptops and desktop hard drives as donations, which will be passed on to Royster to use in preparing computers for delivery. The ReStore already

accepts monitors, keyboards, printers and accessories. For more information about the computer recycling project, contact Royster at BorisKirkLLC@gmail.com

or contact Granville County Habitat for Humanity’s executive director, Mark Prokop, or the ReStore administrator at (919) 693-5694 or visit www.granvillecountyhfh.org.

DEAR ABBY: I am an adult now, but I was once that child. Grades came easily to me, and sometimes other kids made fun of me for being so smart. I purposely missed answers on tests at times to avoid getting a perfect score and being teased. I wanted to fit in. I learned early that intelligence was not something to be prized. When I was older and began dating, I remember my mom telling me boys didn’t like girls who were smarter or who beat them at sports or games. So I began hiding the gifts and talents God had blessed me with. I married young to a man who was intimidated by my intelligence, so I hid it away piece by piece until even I began to doubt my capabilities. Then one day something happened that changed everything. I was granted another gift — a daughter who was blessed with a beautifully intelligent mind and reminded me of myself as a child. I saw her watch my every step and try to be like me. It was then that I realized I had to own and embrace my intelligence or she would hide hers and allow others to steal it away piece by piece. Abby, it was life-changing. It has caused difficulties in my marriage because I suddenly changed the rules of the game, and I no longer allow myself to be less so that someone else can be more — DEAR ABBY: As a but that change needed to teacher of 30 years, allow me happen. to provide another response May I share with “Smart to “Smart Seventh-Grader.” Seventh-Grader” some of It’s entirely possible that the what I have shared with my student who accused her of daughter?

DEAR ABBY: Your advice to “Smart Seventh-Grader” (Sept. 26) was supportive, but did not address the heart of her problem. Many years ago I was that little girl. No one had explained to me there is a difference between knowing the answer to the teacher’s questions and knowing how to THINK. Her teachers and friends already know she knows all the answers. She has nothing to prove, so you should have told her to set herself an intellectual goal of asking questions in class that will spark the imaginations of other students and deepen the discussion. DEAR When she can’t ABBY do that, UNIVERSAL PRESS she can sit SYNDICATE quietly and let the teacher interact with others who don’t already know all the material. If she does, her teachers will bless her today, and she will bless you for the rest of her life. No one likes to be around a know-it-all, and the sooner she learns that lesson the happier she’ll be. — BARBARA, A LIBRARIAN IN NEW YORK DEAR BARBARA: While I hate to see any child hide his or her light under a barrel, you are right about the importance of children developing social and coping skills. I received a blitz of e-mail from teachers and parents who echoed your sentiments. Read on:

DAILY MEDITATION Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. Ephesians 1:2-7

Peanuts in the spotlight In the world of marketing, you’ll take as many minutes — or seconds — of exposure as you can get. The Peanut Roaster hit the big stage on Monday morning as one of several features mail-order food gift ideas for the holidays on the NBC Today Show. About a third of a seven-minute segment called Today’s Holiday Gift Guide was devoted to foods from the Midwest and the South. NBC News anchor Ann Curry talked with Sunny Anderson, host of The Food Network’s Cooking For Real show, about pralines from New Orleans, Wisconsin root beers and ginger ales and cheeses, Puerto Rican candies, baconflavored chocolate chip pancake mix from Chicago and our own North Carolina peanuts processed right here in Henderson. In our estimation, the entire segment should have been spent talking about these Carolina peanuts that The Peanut Roaster has been dressing up for more than a dozen years here in Henderson. There stacked on the table getting great much TV time through the segment were The Peanut Roaster’s popular Hot Honeys, Salted Jumbo Cashews, Honey Roasted Cinnamon Pecans and Jalapenos, among others. Carol Monahan, who, with her husband John, owns The Peanut Roaster on Zeb Robinson Road, said Monday morning’s spotlight came from the groundwork laid by an appearance on The Food Network last year. The popular food channel brought a film crew to the local peanut-processing facility and its adjacent store in June 2008 for a program hosted by Anderson on the topic of honey. The Monahan family has been living off peanuts for years — and quite successfully. John’s father started processing and selling peanuts 60 years ago in conjunction with a family restaurant in Virginia. John was encouraged by his father to build a peanut processing plant, and the son did so in Cary in 1985. That facility was moved to Henderson in 1997 and the rest is history. The operation now sells peanuts nationally and internationally through elaborate catalog and web site marketing in addition to their local efforts and a variety of Triangle area stores. For those of our readers who haven’t tried the Hot Honeys, these are “super extra large” peanuts, from North Carolina, of course, drenched in 100-percent natural pure honey, roasted and covered with a light coating of roasted and ground jalapeno peppers and Chipotle seasoning. Sweet and hot. In addition to the attention the company received Monday morning, their peanuts are also featured on the web site devoted to the Gift Guide this week. There’s a convenient plug for the web site — www.peanut.com — and a list of assorted peanuts that would make great holiday gifts for mailing. For more information, readers can see the segment and view the information on The Peanut Roaster at http://allday.msn bc.msn.com/archive/2009/12/07/2144208. aspx on the web. We have much to be proud of all of our homegrown businesses in Henderson and Vance County. Many are worthy of such praise and attention as that given to The Peanut Roaster. It’s nice to see one of them get the chance to shine on the national stage.

Growing soft on manhood The end of the year is upon us — a fine time for a fellow to dwell on the larger matters. Such as this: Why are men turning into a bunch of softies? I’ve been following this transformation for some time. In the late ’90s, the covers of men’s magazines began producing headlines nearly identical to women’s magazines: “Ten tips to remove that flab and win her attention!” In 2003, I reported on the emergence of the “metrosexual” male — “straight urban men who are willing, even eager, to embrace their feminine sides,” said The New York Times. In 2006, I reported on the Man Bag, a purse for men, though its creators hate when you call it that. The modern man needs a purse so he can tote around his hair goop and other items he can’t be without. One happy Man Bag customer explained why he bought one — it prevented his wallet, which he had carried in his back pocket, from misaligning his spine.

That’s great. We’re at war with tough-guy terrorists and our guys are getting injured by their wallets. In 2007, I reported on another male trend: the “ubersexual” male. An ubersexual is a metrosexual on turbo — a “stylish urTOM ban fellow PURCELL committed TRIBUNE MEDIA to uncomSERVICES promising quality in all areas of life,” says askmen. com. Including makeup. Eyeliner for men — “guyliner” — is another softy male trend, as reported in The Washington Post. What is more puzzling than the sissification of modern males is that more women seem to be going for them. And so it was that a report in the UK Daily Mail, a few months back, caught my attention.

A scientific study, highlighted in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution, offers a theory as to why more women appear to be drawn to softy men. It may have to do with the contraceptive pill. When a woman is fertile, a few days a month, she is attracted to men who are assertive and masculine. Her DNA directs her to pick a mate whose genetic makeup is rugged and dissimilar to her own, thus increasing her chances of having a healthy child. The pill blocks fertility — thus, women are more prone to go for boyish, softy men? The pill has been around for 40 years or so — the same period in which Hollywood icons such as Kirk Douglas and John Wayne have morphed into pouty, sensitive fellows, such as Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio. The scientists say more study is needed. Still, their theory on the sissification of the modern male is worth pondering. The truth is men have

Changing Dr. Drew myth into fact To the editor: In her letter to the editor about the naming of Clark Street School, Mrs. Heneritta Clark refers to Dr. Charles Drew, a great pioneer in medicine, and attributes his untimely death to the fact that he was refused treatmenta at a “white” hospital in 1950. Dr. Drew’s widow and his family worked for years to correct this misinformation and to change myth into historical fact. I am lending my hand to that effort. Amazingly enough, there is a small connection to Clark Street School. When my daughter attended Clark Street, they used a new history book and the story about Dr. Drew’s death was included. She showed it to us because it said a hospital in Burlington refused to treat Dr. Drew. Other students in Burlington whose parents worked at the hospital did the same. The hospital happened to be the one my father-in-law had administered since 1949. He wrote the publisher of the textbook and found out that Whitney Young, who had drowned in Nigeria, had given them the story. When given the correct information, the publishers removed that story

from their text book. The facts are that Dr. Drew was treated professionally but died in the emergency room before he could be admitted to Alamance General Hospital. One of the other two doctors with him on the trip was admitted to the hospital. Dr. Drew’s widow wrote to Marvin Yount and commended him on the treatment her husband received. In later years they worked together to get a historical marker to commemorate the sight of the car crash and Dr. Drew’s widow came to that unveiling. The Drew Memorial Marker is on Highway 49 north of Burlington. Recently I met Spencie Love who researched and wrote at book about Dr. Drew. She was encouraged by Dr. John Hope Franklin to correct the myth. If you want the entire story you should read One Blood: The Death and Resurrection of Charles R. Drew. Dr. Drew may have had the accident because he was fatigued since there were few accommodations for traveling African-Americans, but he did not die because he was refused treatment at a “white” hospital. This is another part of the myth since the hospital had always had both patients, nurses, and doctors who were African-American. I am sure Mrs. Clark will welcome changing this myth into facts. As for the naming, I always thought that Shepard School would be a fitting name for the new elementary. That would have a double meaning and honor Mrs. Carolyn Green’s family and provide

always become whatever it is women want. And, it would appear, fewer women want fellows from the “Mad Men” era — stubborn, unabashedly masculine fellows who are more action than words. It would appear more women are drawn to softy fellows, which is prompting more men to get dolled up at hair salons, adorn themselves in the latest hip fashions and paint up their noggins with the latest from Mary Kay. Whatever the cause, the trend may not bode well for America. If your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, will there be any regular fellows around who know how to fix things and don’t mind getting their hands dirty? The best you may be able to hope for is that a modern fellow stops his car to offer consolation and hand you a cell phone from his purse.

Report: Vance grants total $6.4 million since July 2008 BY AL WHELESS DAILY DISPATCH WRITER

Vance has received more than $6.4 million in grants since July 2008, and the county has pending grant applications totaling more than $13 million, according to County Manager Jerry Ayscue in a report Monday night to the Board of Commissioners. Unsuccessful grants were reported to have totaled $2,352,771. Ayscue told the Board of Commissioners Monday night that successful grants include: • Human Resources —

$3,250. • Sheriff’s Department — $54,643. • Planning and Development — $5,931,032. • Cooperative Extension — $104,283. • Emergency Operations 911 — $329,880. • Tourism Development Authority — $7,500. Pending grants include: • Sheriff’s Department — $611,880. • Planning and Development — $6,101,570. • Emergency Operations 911 — $546,500. • Tourism Development Authority — $6,000,500. Unsuccessful grants

include: • Emergency Operations 911 — $352,771. • Tourism Development Authority — $2,000,000. Work-In-Progress on grants includes: • Planning and Development — $1,025,600. • Cooperative Extension — $601,000. In another report, Finance Director Steve Stanton said the County has a gross debt of $11,040,000 and a net debt of $6,540,000. According to Stanton, the County has an assessed value of $2,335,325,355. He said the net debt

amounts to .280 percent of the assessed value. Stanton submitted the figures to Kelly Grissom, clerk to the board, as required by amended version of The Local Government Bond Act. The gross debt represents: • $440,000 — Refunding School Bonds, Series 1996. • $4,500,000 — County Courthouse Bonds, Series 1999. • $1,600,000 — Refunding Bonds, Series 2003. The net debt would be achieved by deducting the $4,500,000 through

“funding and refunding bonds authorized by orders introduced, but not yet adopted.� If a more favorable interest rate becomes available near the end of January, Stanton explained, the county could achieve considerable savings by re-issuing the Courthouse bonds. The Commissioners gave Stanton the authority to take the action, under those conditions. Convening as the Water District Board, Vance Commissioners agreed to withdraw the County’s Phase 1B application to USDA

Rural Development. The purpose was to allow the Kittrell Water Association to manage the project. County Manager Jerry Ayscue told the Commissioners that “This board ought to receive something in writing from the KWA, instead of just word-ofmouth.� Chairman Danny Wright replied: “Should something happen down the road, we (the County) have not closed that door with the USDA.� Contact the writer at awheless@hendersondispatch.com.

GOLDSBORO — Attorneys debated Wednesday whether a group of North Carolina inmates sentenced in the 1970s should be considered “lifers,” setting the stage for a contentious court battle as a group of convicted murderers and rapists push for their freedom. Dozens of prisoners were sentenced to “life” under a law that limited the length of their prison terms to 80 years. State attorneys argued Wednesday that the inmates do not automatically qualify for sentence-reduction credits and that correction officials don’t apply such discounts to those with life sentences. “The lifers don’t get credit for purposes of reducing — because you can’t reduce a life sentence,” said Tiare B. Smiley, a special deputy attorney general. “You do give them credits for other purposes.” But an attorney for one inmate, Alford Jones, said the prisoners have never had life sentences because the law has always defined

their terms as 80 years long. He said the inmates have been accruing credits over the years that can now be subtracted from that term limit. “They are not lifers,” said attorney Glenn Barfield. “There were no life sentences in that period of time.” The hours-long debate in the Wayne County courtroom may just be one in a series of legal battles spanning the state. Another inmate, William Folston, went before a judge in Shelby last week. A third, Faye Brown, is scheduled to appear in a Raleigh court on Friday. Superior Court Judge Ripley Rand declined to rule until he hears arguments Friday in Brown’s similar case. He said he would expedite his decision. Wednesday’s arguments brought in both the chief of North Carolina’s prison system and Jones, a convicted murderer who was already on track to get out on parole next year. Attorneys for Jones tried to show that the state itself initially believed the inmates

qualified for sentence-reduction credits. Alvin Keller, the state’s secretary of correction, testified that a couple months ago he believed there was a possibility the inmates might be released after state courts agreed that the sentences would not last a person’s entire life. But he contended that he never said that it would happen for sure. “I never ordered the release of anybody,” Keller said. Gov. Beverly Perdue initially said in October that the state was being “forced” to release the prisoners, and she released a list of inmates who knocked enough time off their sentences to earn immediate freedom. Correction officials meanwhile scrambled to find community connections and identify places for the prisoners to live. Jones testified that correction officials initially told him, without qualification, that he would be going home in October. “I said, ‘Are you serious? Is this a joke?’” Jones recalled. Jones said officials told him it was not.

Raiders outduel Knights Jones leads Southern past N. Nash, 56-45 FROM STAFF REPORTS

Southern Vance used a big fourth quarter to pull away from a stingy, visiting Northern Nash team Wednesday. The Raiders outscored the Knights 18-7 in the final period and held on for a 56-45 win. Southern held a 28-19 halftime lead, but Northern rallied in the third to deadlock the game at 38 heading into the fourth. “We could never really put them away,” said Raiders coach Mike Rotolo, whose team improves to 3-2 on the young season. Hakim Jones led Southern with 16 points and George Richardson had 10. Rotolo was impressed with Eric Hargrove, who was in double figures (12 points) for the third

Southern Vance's Eric Hargrove scores after driving to the basket during the first half of Wednesday’s game. straight game. “He’s been our go-to-guy lately,” said Rotolo. “He’s started the last three games for us and he’s really come into his own.” The Knights jumped out to a 16-14 lead after the first, but Southern’s defense tightened down in

the second quarter, allowing only three points. Rotolo said taking care of the ball was the key for his team in the final stretch. “I think they are beginning to understand what we are about. But it’s still early in the season and we’re trying to figure things out,” he said. The Raiders will head to Franklin County to face Louisburg Friday at 7:30 p.m. Southern won last week’s battle between the two squads, 69-46. Turnovers kept the game close for three quarters in the first match before the Raiders outpaced the Warriors in the final quarter. “It’s their court and a big Friday night game for them,” Rotolo said. “Coach (Chris) Davis is going to have his kids pumped and ready to fight hard.”

BOSTON (AP) — Jeremy Lin scored 25 points and Keith Wright had 21 on Wednesday night to lead Harvard to a 7467 victory over Boston College — the Crimson’s second straight win over BC. Lin, who scored a career-high 30 on Sunday in a six-point loss to No. 14 Connecticut, sank 5 of 6 free throws in the final minute to help clinch the victory for Harvard (7-2). “We played very well in Connecticut, but we weren’t able to close the game,” Harvard coach Tommy Amaker said. “You witnessed a gutsy team effort against a team that

Page 2B

was playing well.” Joe Trapani had 21 points and Corey Raji scored 11 with 11 rebounds for BC (6-3). The Eagles were coming off a victory over Miami in their Atlantic Coast Conference opener, but for the second year in a row fell to the local entry from the Ivy League. “Last year was different for us. I didn’t think we were as good of a team,” said Lin, who scored 27 to surprise the Eagles in January. “We had a young team — a lot of freshman — and those players have gotten older. I think it’s a big difference.” This time, BC can’t even claim it was caught by surprise. Three days after the

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — When defenseman Andy Greene played his first professional game with Lowell of the American Hockey League in 2006, he scored two goals — and hadn’t accomplished the feat since. Until Wednesday night. Greene had consecutive goals for the surging New Jersey Devils in a 4-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes. “It’s pretty amazing,” the 27-year-old Greene said. “It feels pretty good to be out there and it’s been a lot of fun. I hope we can keep it going.” Patrik Elias and Rob Niedermayer also scored for the Devils, who have won four straight and seven of eight. Martin Brodeur made 21 saves but remained tied with Terry Sawchuk for the most shutouts in NHL history at 103. Greene scored the second and third goals of the game, giving New Jersey (21-7-1) a 3-0 lead before Carolina scored twice in a span of 1:58 to cut it to 3-2 in the second period. Greene’s play of late has certainly caught the eye of Devils coach Jacques Lemaire. “We’re not an overpowering team offensively, so we need goals from our defensemen,” Lemaire said. “I always have a feeling that Andy is going to slow down, but he never does. He plays well every night. It doesn’t matter who we’re playing against. He’s very good. He controls the puck and makes plays. I never thought he could be this good, but right now, he’s playing like an All-Star.”

Elias scored the first goal, giving him 299 for his career, and Niedermayer’s empty-netter sealed it with 5 seconds left — ending Carolina’s modest two-game winning streak. The Devils got a fluke goal in the first. Elias took a pass from Niclas Bernfors and skated in on the right side. His attempted backhand pass back to Bernfors was broken up by Carolina defenseman Aaron Ward, but the puck caromed off Ward’s skate and into the net. Elias’ fourth goal of the season came at 11:11. New Jersey increased the lead to 2-0 late in the period when Greene skated into the Carolina zone untouched and unleashed a rocket slap shot from the blue line that PLEASE SEE CANES, PAGE 3B

House panel passes BCS playoff bill WASHINGTON (AP) — Dismissing complaints from some members that Congress had more pressing matters, a House subcommittee approved legislation Wednesday aimed at forcing college football to switch to a playoff system to determine its national champion. “We can walk across the street and chew gum at the same time,” said the subcommittee chairman, Illinois Democrat Bobby Rush, one of the bill’s co-sponsors. “We can do a number of things at the same time.” The legislation, which still faces steep odds, would ban the promotion of a postseason NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision game as a national championship unless it results from a playoff. The measure passed by voice vote in the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s commerce, trade and consumer protection subcommittee, with one audible “no,” from Rep. John Barrow, D-Ga. “With all due respect, I really think we have more important things to spend our time on,” Barrow said before the vote, although he stressed he didn’t like the current Bowl Championship Series, either. The BCS selections announced last weekend pit two unbeaten teams, No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Texas, in the Jan. 7 national title game. Three other undefeated teams — TCU, Cincinnati and Boise State — will play in a BCS bowl game, but not for the championship. “What can we say — it’s December and the BCS is in chaos again,” said the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, the top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. He said the BCS system is unfair and won’t change unless prompted by Congress. The legislation, which goes to the full commit-

Southern Vance picked up its second straight win with a 48-35 victory over Northern Nash Wednesday. The Raiders’ dynamic trio of Shauna Terry, Tremanisha Taylor and Kewonia Rodwell led the scoring attack, combining for 34 points. Southern maintained control throughout, leading 23-15 at the half and holding a 34-23 advantage heading into the final period. “We played a little man-to-man and zone defense. We weren’t quite as efficient as we could have been,” said Southern coach Tracey Turner. Terry led the Raiders with 18 points, dominating the post with 18

rebounds. Taylor nearly notched a double-double as well, with 16 points and nine boards. Rodwell chipped in with seven points. “We’re learning who we are and how to play, win and defend,” Turner said. “We’re moving forward to where we want to be.” The Raiders improve to 2-2 on the season and head to Louisburg on Friday for a 6 p.m. tilt. Last week, Southern knocked off the Warriors in convincing fashion, 61-25, but Turner isn’t expecting her team to be complacent. “I don’t think they will be lax,” she said. “They’re excited about playing. We just have to continue building.”

MLB Rangers trade RHP Millwood to Orioles INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Texas Rangers have traded pitcher Kevin Millwood to the Baltimore Orioles for reliever Chris Ray and a player to be named. The Orioles also received cash Wednesday to help offset Millwood’s salary. The right-hander is owed $12 million next season in the final year of his contract, a salary he guaranteed himself by reaching 180 innings this year for Texas.

Ward had missed the last 13 games after he was cut on the leg by a skate in a game at Columbus on Nov. 7. Ward is eligible to play at New Jersey on Wednesday. The 25-year-old Ward is one of the cornerstones of the Carolina franchise, and won the Conn Smythe trophy as the Most Valuable Player of the playoffs during the Hurricanes’ 2006 run to the Stanley Cup title.

BY MIKE CRANSTON AP SPORTS WRITER

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The first player went down less than 30 minutes into the opening practice of training camp. And the injuries haven’t stopped for the Panthers. Defensive end Tyler Brayton, one of only five defensive players to start every game this season, sat out practice Wednesday after sustaining a concussion. If he doesn’t play Sunday at New England, Carolina will trot out its 13th different starting defensive lineup in 13 games. “Every time we look

in our D-line room, it’s like we’ve got a revolving chair over there. It’s pretty funny,” defensive tackle Damione Lewis said. “Each year it’s a certain team that goes through this. This year it just happened to bite us.” A year ago the Panthers were a model of consistency and good fortune in their 12-4 season. The same 11 players started on defense for the first 14 games before defensive tackle Maake Kemoeatu hurt his ankle and missed the last two weeks of the regular season. But when Kemoeatu fell in a heap with a ruptured Achilles’ tendon while

running by himself in one of the first drills of camp, it was only the beginning of a rash of debilitating injuries that have played a part in Carolina’s disappointing 5-7 season. “A couple of our tackles weren’t even at camp with us,” coach John Fox said. “I’m still getting their names down.” Perhaps the most surprising element of Carolina’s plight is that the defense is not the team’s biggest concern. The offense, also hit hard by injuries, has managed one touchdown in two games and has been plagued by turnovers. The defense has allowed

only one touchdown in the last two weeks and Carolina ranks sixth in the league in pass defense after intercepting Tampa Bay rookie Josh Freeman five times Sunday. “Young guys have been called on,” Fox said. “James Anderson — who’s really our third-team (weakside) linebacker — I think has played really well over the last couple of weeks.” Anderson is starting because Thomas Davis and his backup, Landon Johnson, are both on injured reserve. But that’s nothing like the trouble at defensive tackle. The Panthers traded

Florida coach Urban Meyer and athletic director Jeremy Foley did little to stand in Strong’s way. “Once I said I want to be a head football coach, the conversation kind of stopped,” Strong said. Including where the Cardinals get their players. Kragthorpe and his staff largely abandoned recruiting in the south in favor of looking for players from the west and southwest. “There are some deficiencies somewhere on that (recruiting) board,” Strong said. “Now let’s go find those guys.” It’s a mission he’s been waiting for his entire career, one he’s been focused on since he and former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz would go through mock head coach interviews when Strong was coaching the defensive line for Holtz in the mid-1990s.

NCAA investigates Tennessee football recruiting violations KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — University of Tennessee officials say they are “cooperating fully” with the NCAA in its investigation into some of the school’s football recruiting practices. “We are concerned about the alleged activities of some members of the Orange Pride,” Tennessee officials said in a statement released Wednesday. “Both university and NCAA guidelines are a part of the Orange Pride’s orientation and training. If those guidelines were violated, we will take appropriate action. Because of federal student privacy regulations, we can’t comment further.” Orange Pride is one of three student admissions groups that act as “ambassadors” for the university providing campus tours, help with admissions and hosts prospective athletes and their families. The university said Orange Pride has 75 students, both men and women, as members who work with hundreds of students. The New York Times reported on its Web site Wednesday the NCAA is probing the use of host-

esses by Tennessee to attract top players. The NCAA has met with four prospects and is expected to talk to two more this week. The NCAA declined to comment Wednesday, citing its policy “not comment on current, pending or potential investigations.” Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton confirmed the investigation to The Times but did not return a message left on his cell phone Wednesday by The Associated Press. Marcus Lattimore, a high school running back, told The Times several hostesses traveled almost 200 miles to watch three Tennessee recruits play at James F. Byrnes High School in Duncan, S.C. They brought signs including one that read, “Come to Tennessee.” Lattimore had made an unofficial visit but was not interested in committing to Tennessee. But two of his teammates, Brandon Willis and Corey Miller, have committed verbally to Tennessee. Lattimore called the hostesses pretty and real cool. “I haven’t seen no other

schools do that,” Lattimore told The Times. “It’s crazy.” Many schools use hostesses to help prospective students during campus visits. They are considered representatives of the university and are not allowed to recruit players off campus. The visits could be considered violations of NCAA rules. Tennessee has reported six minor NCAA violations since Lane Kiffin became coach a year ago — for his efforts in recruiting. Violations involved staging a mock news conference for

BCS, from page 1B tee, would make it illegal to promote a national championship game “or make a similar representation,” unless it results from a playoff. There is no Senate version, although Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, has pressed for a Justice Department antitrust in-

vestigation into the BCS. Shortly after his election last year, Barack Obama said there should be a playoff system. In a statement before the vote, BCS executive director Bill Hancock said, “With all the serious matters facing our country, surely Congress has more

important issues than spending taxpayer money to dictate how college football is played.” Yet Barrow wasn’t alone in criticizing his colleagues’ priorities; Reps. Zach Space, D-Ohio, and Bart Stupak, D-Mich., made similar arguments. Space said that with

people facing tough times, the decision to focus on college football sends the “wrong message.” The legislation has a tough road ahead, given the wide geographic representation and political clout of schools in the six conferences that have automatic BCS bowl bids

— the ACC, Big East, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-10 and SEC. The current college bowl system features a championship game between the two top teams in the BCS standings, based on two polls and six computer rankings. Eight other schools play in the

Orange, Sugar, Fiesta and Rose bowls. Under the BCS, the champions of those six big conference have automatic bids, while other conferences don’t. Those six conferences also receive far more money than the other conferences.

contingent of Harvard fans crossing the river to visit Conte Forum, the Crimson erased a 45-42 with 12:57 left by scoring 11 straight points, six of them by Wright. The Crimson led by as many as eight points, 61-53, with 4:48 left before BC began to close the gap in the final minutes by fouling. Trapani, who scored

BC’s first 10 points and had 17 at the half, did not score in the second until sinking one of two free throws with 61 seconds left. After Lin made one of two foul shots, Trapani hit a 3-pointer over a defender to make it 68-64 with 50 seconds left. Christian Webster made one of two free throws, then Reggie Jackson

brought BC within 2 points, 69-67, when he drove for a basket and a foul. But Lin made both foul shots, then Harvard’s Kyle Casey drew a charge on Biko Paris. Lin sank another pair of free throws to make it 7367, and BC missed a pair of 3-point attempts before Harvard’s Brandyn Curry

got the rebound with 6 seconds left. Harvard led 15-10 before going 8:31 without a basket while BC scored 14 consecutive points, six of them by Evan Ravenel. But Harvard scored nine of the last 13 points in the half and trailed just 33-29 at the break.

we can’t rely on the same guys every game. It helps when you can spread it out, especially among the defensemen.” Early in the second Greene scored again, this time on a power play. With Ray Whitney off for highsticking, Greene skated into the Hurricanes’ zone, got knocked down, but was able to get up in time to

knock in a rebound of Zach Parise’s shot for his fifth goal of the season. “I got hit, fell down, and just kept going to the net,” Greene said. “The puck came to me and I made the play.” It didn’t take long for Carolina to end Brodeur’s bid for the record-breaking shutout. Sutter took a shot that skipped and hand-

cuffed Brodeur and found its way into the net just 43 seconds after Greene’s second goal. “It was deflected and then bounced down,” Brodeur said. “I was still looking for it when it went past me.” Ruutu scored less than two minutes later. “We turned the puck over like three or four

times in a row in our zone and stopped playing in their zone,” Lemaire said. “We tried to be a little too fancy and tried to make plays we were not able to make. They got the momentum going.” The Hurricanes dominated the third period but couldn’t score. They had two good shots with two extra men on the ice in

the closing minute, but Niedermayer put the game away for New Jersey. “All of our players know that this is a tough, hardskating team,” Lemaire said. “Maybe it’s because they got beat in the playoffs. It could be the reason why we got off to such a good start tonight, knowing the kind of team we were playing.”

he said. “Last year we were disappointed, but the fact of the matter is we still beat Duke, we still had a really fine year.

Today’s answer

HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll feel stifled by the people around you and the demands being made. Acting harshly will backfire. Relationship problems will arise if professional responsibilities add pressure. Utilize your time wisely between work and home. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Even the people you least expect will cause problems or put pressure on you. Speaking up about the way you feel will not work in your favor. Let others do the talking for now. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t limit yourself when there is so much to gain by thinking big and going after your goals. Don’t let anyone hold you back or make you feel inadequate. If there is something you want to do, follow through. 5 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll face opposition if you are too pushy about how and what you want done around home. A professional change will allow you greater freedom to put your attributes to the test. Assess your personal relationships. 2 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll get the go-ahead you’ve been waiting for. Take a step toward greater financial security by refusing to support those who have been taking advantage of your generosity and good nature. It’s time to get serious about your future. 4 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A partnership may show signs of change but, before you reject what’s happening, consider what you can get out of the new ground rules. This is the perfect time for you to speak honestly. 3 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you are to blame for something, own

up fast and put it behind you. The longer you try to shirk responsibility, the harder your task will become. A change in attitude will lead to greater acceptance and a brighter future. 3 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll have plenty of qualms regarding a situation you face at home. Don’t put up a fight when your best recourse is to keep working toward something worthwhile. Follow your own path and you will send a strong message in your defense. 3 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Focus on business meetings and travel and you will be able to set up your agenda for the new year with confidence, knowing you will accomplish your goals. A change at home may be a bit of a shock but you will realize it’s for the best. 4 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take a back seat and watch what everyone else is up to before making a statement or promise that may not end up being to your advantage. Your emotions will affect the decisions you make, causing problems for you later on. 2 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take a serious look at your financial situation. You should be able to set up a strict budget, enabling you to go into the new year with a workable game plan. Don’t let the festive season and spirited individuals tempt you to overspend, overindulge or overdo. 5 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make plans to start a new health regime. A good idea can turn into extra cash if you go about it smartly. Share your intentions and you will interest someone who is willing to put a little money behind you. 3 stars
