SANFORD — The Lee County Board of Commissioners on Monday tabled two resolutions the Sanford City Council had requested they approve in order to make slight language adjustments. Resolutions supporting increased enforcement against violent criminals and requesting that the county be moved to the state’s eastern deer hunting season in order to facilitate an earlier start to hunting seemed to have support from the board’s members, although there were a few Reives concerns over the language in the resolutions. The resolution supporting increased enforcement against violent criminals was passed recently by the Sanford City Council after some members expressed concerns about the number of criminal cases ending in plea bargains. Sanford City Councilman Mike Stone suggested having the county commissioners join the resolution in order to add weight to the matter when sent to District Attorney Susan Doyle. Commissioner Robert Reives suggested changing the language in one part of the resolution which encourages the district attorney to punish “perpetrators of violent crime.”

This day in history: On Feb. 16, 1960, the nuclear-powered radar picket submarine USS Triton departed New London, Conn. on the first-ever totally submerged circumnavigation by a vessel, a voyage which took nearly three months. In 1804, Lt. Stephen Decatur led a successful raid into Tripoli Harbor to burn the U.S. Navy frigate Philadelphia, which had fallen into the hands of pirates. In 1862, during the Civil War, some 14,000 Confederate soldiers surrendered at Fort Donelson, Tenn. (Union General Ulysses S. Grant’s victory earned him the nickname “Unconditional Surrender Grant.”) In 1868, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks was organized in New York City. In 1918, Lithuania proclaimed its independence, which lasted until World War II (it again declared independence in 1990). In 1923, the burial chamber of King Tutankhamen’s recently unearthed tomb was unsealed in Egypt by English archaeologist Howard Carter. In 1945, American troops landed on the island of Corregidor in the Philippines during World War II. In 1959, Fidel Castro became premier of Cuba a month and a-half after the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista.

City Council to hold second retreat in two months

SANFORD — The Sanford City Council will hold its second retreat in as many months next week. The council will meet for the informational session from 8 a.m. to noon on Feb. 24 in the West End Conference Room at City Hall. The meeting, which will allow the council to gather information and hear reports from city staff in an informal setting, is open to the public. The retreat day follows three days of meetings in January at which the council received information about the city’s capital needs, the future of fire service in Sanford, planning issues in east Sanford, and the local crime rate. City council members asked City Manager Hal Hegwer for a fourth retreat day after not being able discuss all of their agenda items during the retreat days in January. The council doesn’t typically take any action during retreats. A meeting of the council’s Law and Finance Committee, set for 1 p.m. Feb. 24, is still scheduled to be held. — Gordon Anderson

Local firefighters win big at 2010 fire safety conference

ASHEVILLE — A group of local firefighters was awarded the Traveling Bucket Fire Award, given for fundraising for the N.C. Burned Children’s Center, on Feb. 9. The award was given during a luncheon in Asheville. This is the fourth time the local group has won the award. The Lee County Firefighters Burned Children Fund won three consecutive awards from 2005 to 2007. The bucket will be displayed at Sanford’s Number Three Fire Station until 2011, when it will have to be turned in for the next award recipient. The group collects funds for the Burned Children’s Center through a variety of avenues, including collecting aluminum cans and hosting an annual golf tournament. — from staff reports

“I’d prefer if it said something like aggressively prosecuting and punishing guilty perpetrators,� he said. “The way it reads, it sends a very bad message, in my mind.� The Sanford City Council’s request for Lee County to push for a move into the state’s eastern deer hunting season — Lee County is currently in the central dear season — would allow for gun hunting to start in October rather than November. The request comes as the city council mulls whether to adopt an urban archery deer hunting season which would allow some bow hunters to hunt deer in the city limits between January and February. Both measures are aimed at reducing the deer population in order to mitigate threats including garden predation, traffic accidents and tick-borne disease. County Manager John Crumpton indicated he would draft a resolution for the commissioners to adopt in order for the county to stay out of the city’s decision about whether to adopt the bow hunting season. Both resolutions will be on the agenda for the commissioners’ March 1 meeting.

scholarship program built in,� said Abby Cameron, community services coordinator who works out of the Lee County office for the Red Cross’s Triangle Area Chapter. High schoolers Sierra Dorman, Taylor Waters, Annie McCollum and Diana Gomez are the Lee County participants. The girls create their own fundraisers during the month of February, Cameron said. Whomever raises the most money wins a scholarship, which is a quarter of the money that teen raises, Cameron said. Organizing the fundraising is completely up to the girls, Cameron said; they may choose to hold one large fundraiser or three or four smaller ones throughout the month. All of the money raised stays in the area to help fund local disaster relief, she said. The queens are chosen at the March 5 gala, which Cameron said is like “the prom.� Girls dress formally for the dinner event and can bring family or a date. The queen of each county then becomes the youth spokesperson for her local Red Cross chapter, advocating for the organization. Cameron said she talks to high school girls in November to prepare for the February event, because it takes time to set up the fundraisers. This is the third year they’ve been involved, and it’s the biggest fundraiser for the local Red Cross. “It’s gotten really popular. It’s lots of hard work,� Cameron said. “They really put a lot of time into it.� The girls get creative in organizing the fundraisers, she said, setting up spaghetti dinners, auctions and benefit concerts. Sierra Dorman, 15, is a sophomore at Lee County High School. If she’s crowned queen, she plans to put the money away for college in two years. “I like helping people and I think it’s a good opportunity to raise money for our county,� Dorman said. “There’s a lot of things in Lee County that needs change.� Dorman hopes to raise $4,000. Success in fundraising “depends on how much

They had hoped for $10,000 and easily exceeded that amount. “There are a lot of very, very generous people,� support you have and how motivated you are,� she said. Taylor Waters, 17, also plans to raise $4,000. Waters has seen firsthand what the Red Cross can do to help: When her grandmother’s house burned down in January, Red Cross workers arrived at the home immediately and offered her grandmother assistance. “They help anyone in need,� she said. “It never occured to me that Red Cross is more than someone you give blood to. You don’t ever see what amazing things they do behind the scenes until you experience it.� In fundraising, there’s a slight competitive feeling with the other participants, Waters said. “It’s kind of odd,� she said. “It’s a friendly thing but you’re also walking the tightrope. It’s not anything like grinding your teeth over, but it’s a bit of competition.� Waters said the prospect of becoming the youth spokesperson appeals to her. “That’s something that would really mean a lot to me,� she said. “To be able to educate people in that way, it can really raise a community. That’s what I want more than the money and the crown.�

said Everett Williams, past governor of the lodge. Daniels said they had a wonderful turnout, with Myrtle Beach residents and people from other states attending the benefit. “I’m telling you, we worked really hard. A lot of donations and a lot of caring people,� Daniels said. “With the economy as it is, I’m very impressed,� Williams added. “It won’t pay for all of her expenses, but it’ll help her parents. ... You certainly don’t want

to see a 5-year-old go through five transplants.� Karpp began tearing up at the generosity displayed by people she doesn’t know. “I’m so overwhelmed. I cried for, like, days,� Karpp said. “This is long, hard stuff and a lot of this stuff, the insurance doesn’t cover,� like the experimental medicine doctors have given Carys. “I can’t say thanks enough to everybody,� she said.

Tuller’s gift is a legacy that will benefit many Our View Issue Central Carolina Community College has named its nursing program after Louise Tuller, whose trust raised more than $335,000 for the program

Our stance Tuller’s generosity will benefit generations of students in the college’s nursing program

L

ouise Locke Lavender Tuller may not be known to many Central Carolinians, but her legacy will benefit local citizens for many years in the future. Tuller, a Canadian by birth, retired with her husband to Sanford decades ago. She had been a businesswoman and a nurse during her career, and after her move to Sanford, Tuller was a volunteer in the Lee County Hospital gift shop. Following her death, 31 years ago, the Louise L. Tuller Trust was established. That trust, in 2006, established the Louise L. Tuller Nurse Education Endowment at Cen-

tral Carolina Community College. Since that time, the trust has donated more than $75,000 for the endowment. Now, a decision was made to close the trust and the proceeds from the trust — more than $335,000 — is being moved to the endowment. The combined monies is the largest private gift given to the college to this point. In recognition of the gift, the college’s associate degree nursing program has been named the Louise L. Tuller School of Nursing. Louise Tuller did not live in Sanford for a lengthy time. She was not a native — and could have easily left her trust to many

other worthy causes. Much of her life was spent in the Bainbridge, N.Y., area, where she and her first husband operated a department store. In fact, she is buried in Bainbridge. It’s likely that Louise Tuller never dreamed of having a nursing program named in her honor. But, as Harry Miller (who heads the trust) said, it was her dream to honor nursing. Her trust, and its subsequent gift to Central Carolina Community College, is a legacy that will keep on giving through the many students who will benefit from her generosity. Sanford and the Central Carolina area are fortunate to have

had Louise Tuller in our midst — and should be grateful for her generosity. There have been many wonderful citizens of this community who have given of their time and their monetary contributions to various causes over the years. Louise Tuller is among those whose philanthropy will keep on living through the lives who will be touched through the college’s nurses training — and through the lives who will benefit thanks to the care from those nurses. Thank you, Louise Tuller. Though you may be gone, your spirit and your generosity will continue to be with us.

Driving and talking

F

or a lot of years, legislators have filed bills in the North Carolina General Assembly to ban all drivers from using cell phones. For a lot of years, those bills have gone nowhere. Now officials in Chapel Hill are considering carving out their own town-wide ban to prevent people from yakking on cell phones while driving. It might turn into a bigger undertaking than they imagine. The most immediate question town officials will face, if they decide to move forward with a ban, is whether they can do so with a town ordinance or will require the General Assembly to pass local legislation. The issue is a bit muddled, but without local legislation the town may see offenders challenging its authority. Putting the issue before the legislature could mean another problem — an allout debate on whether the state, or any part of it, should ban cell phone use by drivers. The General Assembly typically passes local bills without much debate so long as legislators from the area affected agree with the legislation. Don’t expect the same when it comes to a cell phone ban. Last year, the legislature banned texting while driving. A couple of years earlier, legislators prohibited new drivers — those under age 18 — from driving while using a cell phone. But bills calling for cell phone bans for all drivers are usually dispatched without so much as a committee hearing. ... Traffic safety advocates argue that cell phone use increases the likelihood of accidents. In response, six states have banned the use of hand-held cell phones by drivers. Those arguments, though, inevitably lead to questions about all types of distracted driving. If cell phones, why not ban eating in cars? ... The claims about accidents also deserve tough scrutiny. In reality, as the use of cell phones in American society has exploded, traffic accidents, traffic-related fatalities and traffic-related deaths have declined. In 2007, there were 6,024,000 policereported car collisions causing injury or property damage in the United States, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In 1990, the number was 6,471,000. Car accidents dropped despite rises in population, licensed drivers, registered vehicles and vehicle miles driven. Fatalities have declined from 1.73 per 100 million miles driven in 1994 to 1.27 per 100 million miles driven in 2008. Non-fatal injuries per vehicle mile driven are nearly half today what they were in 1988. Those figures can be explained in a lot of ways. Safer cars, increased seatbelt use, tougher drunken driving laws are all factors. But no matter the explanation, the numbers don’t jibe very well with notions that cell phones have made our roads markedly less safe.

The Tea Party Queen T

he headlines scream as if Godzilla were rising from the icy depths of the Potomac: “Sarah Palin: Threat or Menace?” OK, I haven’t actually seen that one, at least not verbatim. But the commentariat is in full run-for-the-hills mode over the prospect that Palin could still have a political future. A lot of Democrats — and quite a few Republicans, too — seem worried that she intends to stomp the capital to smithereens, perhaps along with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Her appearance at the Tea Party convention in Nashville was imbued with portent that might have been appropriate for, say, Napoleon’s escape from Elba. As is too often the case, Washington seems to be out of step with objective reality. While the political insiders who are supposed to have their finger on America’s pulse worry about Palin’s burgeoning “popularity,” the fact is that her approval ratings have been sinking. According to a new Washington Post poll, only 37 percent of Americans have a favorable impression of Palin — an all-time low. Meanwhile, 55 percent have an unfavorable impression of the erstwhile Alaska governor, which is an all-time high. More to the point, Palin’s refusal to rule out a run for the White House seems, at present, completely ludicrous. An astounding 71 percent of Americans do not believe that Palin is qualified to serve as president, the Post poll found. This number includes not only virtually all Democrats and twothirds of independents but also a majority of Republicans — 52 percent — who believe that Palin should not be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office. The evidence suggests that the longer Palin struts and frets upon the national stage, the less seriously she is taken as a political figure. Even among those who describe themselves as conservatives — a necessary constituency if a Palin candidacy were ever to gain traction — fewer than half think she is qualified to be president, according to the Post poll. That’s a sharp decline from the 66 percent of conservatives who believed her to be qualified last fall. Indeed, why wouldn’t her numbers fall? The one concrete political step that Palin has taken since the 2008 election was to resign as governor with 17 months left in her term, explaining — and I’m paraphrasing here, but I think I’m being fair — that all those official duties were way too much of a hassle. She also wrote an entertaining and lucrative book, established herself on the speaking circuit at a reported $100,000 per lecture, and signed on as a commentator for Fox News. Those are all great moves for a political celebrity. For a potential presidential candidate, apparently, not so much.

Eugene Robinson Columnist Eugene Robinson is a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group

She’s a great performer, though. And I’m not mad at her for writing notes for the Tea Party speech on her palm; it was almost charming, in a regular-gal kind of way. Palin knows how to whip up a crowd, and her nickname from her days as a highschool basketball star, Sarah Barracuda, aptly describes a finely tuned killer instinct. Her putdown of the Obama administration — “How’s that hopey-changey stuff working out for you?” — might have been unfair, but it did have teeth. Where does any of this really take her, though? It’s certainly true that Palin has a knack for expressing the restlessness and anger of many Americans who are buffeted by economic crisis, fed up with a dysfunctional political culture in Washington and tired of feeling as if their voices are being ignored. So far, however, all that Palin’s talent has accomplished is to make her the Tea Party Queen. That could be a valuable platform for a national campaign, but even a politician with Palin’s undeniable charisma is eventually going to have to, you know, say something. Beyond nostrums about “common-sense solutions,” I mean. What does Palin actually propose? I realize she might consider this a trick question, like the time that mean Katie Couric asked about what she reads. But isn’t it awfully patronizing to act as if her followers are so dazzled by her very presence that they will never seek to pin her down on a single issue? The polls certainly suggest this is a serious miscalculation. There’s a word for those who, like Palin, act as if the voters are mere sheep who don’t need to be troubled by discussion of what their government should actually do. The word — and Palin might want to cover her ears — is elitist.

Today’s Prayer But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction. (2 Chronicles 26:16) PRAYER: Help me, Father, to always keep my eyes on You. Amen.

To the Editor: The Herald should have titled Andrew Manhardt’s Feb. 11, letter as follows: “Newcomer would require all residents to enjoy his favorite art.” I am glad the new resident of five years, Andrew Manhardt, enjoyed a recent theater production in our town. But please, Mr. Manhardt, refrain from mandating that your excitement be instilled in the hearts and minds of “everyone living here.” It is absurd to suggest that some piece of art you enjoyed should be thrust upon everyone as a required mandate just because you found pleasure in it. It is equally absurd to suggest that other private entities in the community expend their own time, energy and resources to promote this particular art, simply because you particularly enjoyed it. Just because I like ice cream, strawberry to be specific, it does not mean “it should be required (eating) for everyone living here,” as you say the viewing of your pleasured art should be. Nor do I feel that the “local press, radio, cable TV, churches and all of the civic organizations in the community step up to the plate to encourage their listeners and members to take advantage of the wonderful (ice cream offered by several fine shops in town),” as you say they should do for the local theater. For free. Just because I like ice cream. But alas, Mr. Manhardt, there is still a way for you to promote the art you so love and adore and that you believe the “superb quality” of which “the people in this county” should “realize,” as you say in your letter. You can spend your own money and buy advertisement for the theater or you can send a big check to Peggy Taphorn. I am quite sure she would accept it, for she has made her own art at poor-mouthing to prosperity when it comes to the Temple Theatre the last two years. Just ask the county commissioners. You said you are a newcomer to the county, and I can fairly guess from whence you came. Enjoy what you want, but please do not try to tell “everyone living here,” as you described us, what should be “required viewing” for us. J. LEWIS Sanford

Witness stands by testimony at murder trial

Norovirus blamed for some students’ illnesses

RALEIGH (AP) — The witness who testified against a North Carolina man at the 1993 murder trial that resulted in his conviction said at a special innocence hearing Monday that he stood by his original testimony. Ernest Andrews of New Bern testified before a three-judge panel in the case of Greg Taylor, who hopes to become the first person released in North Carolina as the result of the work of the North Carolina Innocence Commission. Andrews testified in 1993 that Taylor confessed his involvement in the murder of a prostitute in Raleigh while the two men were being held at the Wake County Jail. Superior Court Judge Howard Manning, who heads the panel, pointed to Taylor and said to Andrews that Taylor had been in prison “in large measure, upon your sworn testimony ... Are you sticking with your sworn testimony today?� “Yes, sir,� Andrews replied. “You’re not taking it back in any way?� Manning asked. “No, sir.�

RALEIGH (AP) — Health officials in a North Carolina county say at least four of the approximately 150 people who became ill during a YMCA conference are suffering from a norovirus. Multiple media outlets reported Monday that Wake County’s environmental health director says investigators are looking for the source of the norovirus. Director Andre Pierce said in a statement that the county is taking measures to reduce the spread of illness by asking food service establishments to take precautionary measures. The students were among about 1,000 who participated in the YMCA’s 17th annual statewide Youth & Government conference in Raleigh. The symptoms they reported Friday night and Saturday morning included diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps and headaches.

Police: Gunman shoots patient in hospital

LAURINBURG (AP) — Police say a gunman shot a patient at a hospital in Laurinburg and tried to shoot the patient’s girlfriend. Multiple media outlets reported that police say the gunfire followed a fight at a club in McColl, S.C., early Monday. Laurinburg police Capt. Kimothy Monroe said Wayne “Wolf� Simmons, the father of one of the women in the club fight, came to Scotland Memorial Hospital. He said Simmons entered a room and fired at Domario Covington, who was being treated for injuries from the fight. Monroe said Covington ran away and Simmons then tried to shoot Covington’s girlfriend, but the gun didn’t fire. Simmons was arrested in the hospital parking lot. Covington was in critical but stable condition. Police said Simmons suffered a heart attack and was transferred to a hospital in Charlotte. Monroe says that when Simmons is released, he’ll face several charges, included attempted murder.

Group seeks money for housing for homeless vets FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — A nonprofit group based in North Carolina says it’s seeking grants to build transitional housing for homeless military veterans in Fayetteville. The Fayetteville Observer reported Monday that Ashevillebased RHA Health Services hopes to get government grants totaling more than $2 million to build 24 efficiencystyle apartments for homeless veterans. Scott Little of RHA says a location hasn’t been identified for the apartments. Ideally, he says, they would be located near the Veterans Affairs Medical center. RHA also has proposed a complex in Salisbury, where a Veterans Affairs hospital also is located. The grants and loans that RHA is seeking have a spring deadline.

RALEIGH — In what looks like a repeat from the scandal that brought down then-Speaker Jim Black, the General Assembly is being compelled by another criminal investigation to work in between sessions to fashion clean-government legislation. Lawmakers passed historic lobbying and ethics legislation in 2006 as a federal probe intensified that ultimately sent Black and a former state lottery commissioner to prison. Following a year of investigations linked to former Democratic Gov. Mike Easley and his campaign, legislative leaders again feel the weight from the public and reform advocates. There have been concealed airplane flights and allegations that government officials benefited financially from coastal developments and large campaign donations helped grease permitting. Federal and state investigations aren’t over.

“It puts more pressure on somebody to do something,� said Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe, who has assembled a working group of fellow Democrats to discuss what should be considered when the Legislature reconvenes in May. “We owe it to them to give them an honest effort.� But unlike 2006, the changes probably won’t be as sweeping. Democratic and Republican legislative leaders point out bribery, money laundering and other crimes highlighted in last month’s indictment of ex-Easley aide Ruffin Poole have been illegal for decades. Ideas that would require millions of dollars to implement or regulate will be avoided during another difficult budget year. Lawmakers also will be wary about making significant campaign fundraising changes during an election year without knowing the effect of a U.S. Supreme Court decision freeing corporations to spend directly to support or oppose

candidates. So efforts by some to expand voluntary public financing or to curb the unlimited donations state parties can take in or give may have to wait until 2011. “We have to be careful in how we react to (the ruling) and how we can channel what energy that decision may create in politics, and that is a tricky task,� said former Democratic Lt. Gov. Dennis Wicker, now a Raleigh lobbyist. Still, public servants “feel an obligation to tighten up on the flow of money that comes into political coffers to run campaigns.� Last spring, the House overwhelmingly passed three bills that had bipartisan sponsors. The legislation would delay more executive branch and University of North Carolina leaders from lobbying government until six months after

leaving state employment; ban state contractors from giving to elected officials who approve contracts that benefit the vendor; and require board and commission appointees to report campaign donations and fundraising for elected officials who appointed them. The votes came as the first details of the Easley probe began to surface. Since then, Easley’s campaign was fined $100,000 by the State Board of Elections for failing to report dozens of flights piloted by his political ally and a grand jury indicted Poole on 51 counts. “All the stuff that’s happened since this fall is mostly people breaking laws that were already in place,� said House Minority Leader Paul Stam, R-Wake, a co-sponsor of the three House bills, but “these are three laws that need to be done.�

Copter Vice presidents spar over policies Relatives crash ask how professor kills 3 got hired

PHOENIX (AP) — Investigators are working to determine the cause of a fiery helicopter crash just north of Phoenix that killed at least three people, including a child. The Eurocopter EC135 went down and burst into flames at about 3 p.m. MST Sunday in an area known as Cave Creek. Authorities have confirmed three fatalities but no identities have been released. Deputy Lindsey Smith, a spokeswoman for the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, said that since since the chopper can hold six people, officials are looking into whether there were additional victims. The helicopter was registered to Services Group of America in Scottsdale, Ariz., a large privately held foodservice and real estate firm. The Seattle Times quoted company spokesman Brad Parker as saying that it was the private aircraft of SGA owner Thomas J. Stewart, who moved SGA’s headquarters from Seattle in 2006. But Parker said the company has received conflicting information on who was aboard.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pingponging across the airwaves, Vice President Joe Biden and predecessor Dick Cheney bickered Sunday over terror trials and interrogations, credit for success in Iraq and the long-running effort to contain Iran’s nuclear program. Biden called Cheney “misinformed or he is misinforming” on current national security strategies. Cheney said President Barack Obama wasn’t taking the alQaida threat seriously. But, in a marked change of tone, the former vice president acknowledged that the Bush White House struggled with how to bring suspected terrorists to justice. Highly partisan public skirmishes between the Obama White House and Cheney — the result of the former vice president’s unusual public criticism on a successor administration — have become standard fare. And the back-andforth that was set up in Sunday’s sequential appearances of television talk shows did not disappoint. Biden struck first, declaring that Cheney’s attacks on Obama’s commitment to fighting terrorism ignored the facts.

Vice President Joe Biden appears from Vancouver, Canada, on “Meet the Press” in Washington, Sunday. Pingponging across the airwaves, Vice President Joe Biden and predecessor Cheney bickered Sunday over terror trials and interrogations. “We’ve eliminated 12 of their top 20 people. We have taken out 100 of their associates,” said Biden. “They are in fact not able to do anything remotely like they were in the past. They are on the run. I don’t know where Dick Cheney has been. Look, it’s one thing, again, to criticize. It’s another thing to sort of rewrite history. What is he talking about?” Cheney did not answer directly, instead insisting that Biden was “dead wrong” to assert that a fresh Sept. 11-style strike was unlikely, call-

ing a nuclear or biological attack by al-Qaida “the biggest strategic threat the United States faces today.” Even so, Cheney appeared to dial back the rhetoric, acknowledging that the Bush administration too was divided on whether terror suspects should be charged and tried in federal civilian courts or taken before military tribunals. “I can remember,” Cheney said, “a meeting in the Roosevelt Room in the West Wing of the White House where we had a major shootout”

— one that he said he lost — about civilian versus military trials for terrorist captives. “We never clearly or totally resolved those issues. These are tough questions, no doubt about it,” he said on ABC’s “This Week.” Biden got in the first licks on NBC’s “Meet the Press” in an interview taped late Saturday in Canada, where he was attending the Vancouver Olympic Games. On Cheney’s assault on the Obama administration, Biden said “his assertions are not accurate.”

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Grieving relatives of three professors gunned down at a university faculty meeting questioned why their accused colleague was hired despite a dispute with a former boss who received a pipe bomb and the shooting death of her brother. Amy Bishop is charged in the three deaths and the wounding of three other professors at a meeting Friday at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. She was vocal in her resentment over being denied tenure and the looming loss of her teaching post, though relatives and students said she had never suggested she might become violent. The outbreak of violence was followed by weekend of revelations that Bishop had a difficult past that she did not discuss with her Alabama colleagues. In 1986, Bishop shot and killed her 18-year-old brother with a shotgun at their Braintree, Mass., home. She told police at the time that she had been trying to learn how to use the gun, which her father had bought for protection, when it accidentally discharged. Authorities released her and said the episode was a tragic accident. She was never charged, though current Braintree police Chief Paul Frazier questions how the investigation was handled. In another incident, The Boston Globe reported that Bishop and her husband were questioned by investigators looking into a pipe bomb sent to one of Bishop’s colleagues, Dr. Paul Rosenberg, at Children’s Hospital Boston in 1993. The bomb did not go off, and nobody was ever charged. Bishop’s father-in-law, Jim Anderson, told The Associated Press that his son and daughter-in-law “were cleared when the evidence proved they had nothing to do with it.”

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Jammed bolts and wayward wires made for a trying night at the International Space Station as astronauts struggled to relocate the station’s fancy new observation deck early Monday. Astronauts used a giant robotic arm to move the $27 million domed lookout from one side of a newly installed room at the station, called Tranquility, to the other. The lookout had to be launched in a temporary position to fit inside shuttle Endeavour’s payload bay. Space station commander Jeffrey Williams was loosening a series of bolts to release the lookout when several jammed late Sunday. With commands from Mission Control, astronauts were able to adjust the torque and fix the problem — but then they saw an electrical connector popping out from the dome.

Jake will ‘fall apart’ on ‘Bachelor’ finale By DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer

BURBANK, Calif. — If you don’t like the decisions Jake Pavelka has made this season on “The Bachelor,� tough. The starchy 32-yearold commercial flight instructor, who has flown through the 25 women vying for his affection faster than any leading man on the seemingly never-ending ABC dating franchise, says he doesn’t need to justify his romantic choices to the show’s fans, who have been especially vocal that he kept fire-starter Vienna Girardi around. “I don’t have anything to apologize for,� Pavelka declared during a recent interview. Girardi, a 23-year-old marketing representative from Geneva, Fla., has been the source of much drama this season and is one of three remaining women, all of whom Pavelka has professed he loves. The other two competing are 26-yearold swimsuit model Gia Allemand from New York and 25-year-old college admissions representative Tenley Molzahn from Newberg, Ore. “I know that America doesn’t really understand,� Pavelka said. “It sounds so jaded and so bad, but who is the

That’s what I was taught, that it can only happen with one girl at a time, but that’s not the truth. I was crazy about Ali, Vienna, Tenley and Gia.� Viewers were distraught Pavelka did not try harder to persuade Ali Fedotowsky, one of the four contenders remaining on last Monday’s installment, to stay after the Facebook advertising account manager revealed she would lose her job if she didn’t go back to work. Pavelka did not think Fedotowsky would actually leave, and doing so “broke my heart that night.�

“She rejected me, unfortunately, for her job,� he said before releasing a sigh. “I get it. I really do. It’s such a tough position. Man, it just kind of makes my heart hurt. I knew when she left that night that she was a really unhappy girl, and the most important thing to me was Ali’s happiness. When she left, there was nothing I could do.� Despite a disarming smile and unflappable demeanor, Pavelka has been one of the most frustratingly unpredictable bachelors in the show’s 14-season history. During the fourth episode, he dismissed four women, even though he was only slated to eliminate one.

He likens his rapid-fire rose ceremony dismissals to “pulling a Band-Aid off really fast.� Pavelka, who was one of the suitors competing on “The Bachelorette� last season, isn’t quite as awkward in person as he comes across on TV. When asked if the show is fake, he vowed he’s never been instructed to say or do anything by producers, although if it is phony, he joked that he wants to be nominated “for an Oscar because I’m a great actor.� Whether the pilot’s on-air dating exploits or genuine or not, millions are along for the ride. Ratings for “The Bachelor� haven’t been this high since the fifth season in 2004 when football player Jesse Palmer was looking for love. The franchise’s bad romantic track record — only four couples are still together — has not deterred its success. On Monday’s episode, viewers will see Pavelka travel to St. Lucia with the three remaining women. It’s on that Caribbean island where he said a romantic exchange will begin to “fire off a good, fruitful relationship.� Pavelka would not say if he’s still in love with multiple ladies. He just promised that the March 1 finale would be amazing and crazy.

Dick Francis, thriller writer and ex-jockey, dies

Polanski film debuts, Swiss vow no extradition yet

LONDON (AP) — Dick Francis, the best-selling British thriller writer and former champion jockey, died on Sunday in his home in the Cayman Islands. He was 89. A sucFrancis cessful steeplechase jockey, Francis turned to writing after he retired from racing in 1957. He penned 42 novels, many of which featured racing as a theme. His books were translated into more than 20 languages, and in 2000 Queen Elizabeth II — whose mother was among his many readers — honored Francis by making him a Commander of the British Empire. His son Felix said he and his brother, Merrick, were “devastated� by their father’s death, but “rejoice in having been the sons of such an extraordinary man.� “We share in the joy that he brought to so many over such a long life,� Felix said in a statement. Francis’ spokeswoman Ruth Cairns said the writer had died from natural causes, but did not elaborate. During his writing career, Francis won three Edgar Allen Poe awards given by The Mystery Writers of America for his novels “Forfeit� (1968), “Whip Hand� (1979) and “Come to Grief� (1995).

GENEVA (AP) — Roman Polanski’s new film has premiered in Berlin and Swiss authorities have pledged not to extradite him to the U.S. as long as his appeal on a sex case was still being considered in Los Angeles. Friday was a banner day for the director. Compared to the last four months being under arrest in Switzerland, it was a win-win. Polanski could not walk the red carpet at the Berlin film festival Friday night for the debut of his movie “The Ghost Writer,� starring Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan, because he is under house arrest. But he was still the star of the party, feted by the movie’s actors, producer and screenplay writer. And in a new twist to his long legal saga, the Swiss Justice Ministry declared it would make “no sense� to shift Polanski from house arrest at his Alpine chalet until U.S. courts ruled definitively that he must be sentenced in person to further jail time for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl. “When the question is still open, why should he be extradited?� Rudolf Wyss, the ministry’s deputy director, told The Associated Press. “As long as the question is still open, our decision depends on that.� “Even if we decide on extradition, he can still appeal. This would take many months,� Wyss added.

Beauty queen bungles ‘Amazing Race’ debut LOS ANGELES (AP) — Caite Upton is already not following directions on “The Amazing Race.� The former Miss Teen South Carolina, who famously flubbed a 2007 pageant question involving maps, and her boyfriend, Brent Horne, were in the front of the pack on the CBS reality series’ 16th season premiere Sunday, but they didn’t heed instructions to ride a funicular train and received a 30-minute penalty, dropping them from second to seventh place. “We wrote on our hands at the beginning of the race ’details,�’ Horne said, holding up his ink-stained paw. “Unfortunately, mine kind of rubbed off, so I guess that’s why we forgot,� Upton joked. Horne and Upton weren’t the only team to blunder. Daniel and Jordan Pious, brothers from Barrington, R.I., lost a brush during a house painting task, incurring a 15-minute penalty at the finish line. Another pair of brothers, cowboys Jet and Cord McCoy from Tupelo, Okla., exchanged U.S. dollars for Brazilian reals — even though they were on their way to Chile. ** Planet 51: PG (10:20), 12:20, 5:25 ** Planet 51: PG (10:20), 12:20, 5:25

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thrust into office on the veracity of hope, President Barack Obama is trying to get himself on the right side of a remarkably different national sentiment these days: anger. Obama’s expansive domestic goals are largely the same, but his message is changing, now constructed around a concession that the public is disillusioned and wanting results. If he cannot show people that he understands their frustration and is working to fix it, the risks are real. All that angst that Obama wants to harness as a force for change — as he did in his campaign — will turn against him. That means eroding public support for his agenda and potentially big losses for his party this year in congressional midterm elections. So it was telling when Obama offered this take on Republican Scott Brown’s Senate win in Massachusetts last month, one that

weakened the president’s hand: “The same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office. People are angry, and they’re frustrated.� A new White House talking point was born, and it was hardly hope and change. On that same day of postelection analysis, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs used some description of anger, frustration or both 12 times to describe what people were feeling, including this one: “That anger is now pointed at us, because we’re in charge. Rightly so.� The Obama response has come in two parts. One is to try to get better about communicating to people that he is fighting to address exactly what angers them. The other is to put the onus on whomever he deems is getting in the way of progress, hoping to shift the heat onto them. “If you, as a member of the public, do not perceive that leaders understand that you are angry and frustrated, you’re not going to listen to what they say

next,� said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a scholar of political communication at the University of Pennsylvania. “Their credibility is gone. And once you’ve lost that, it’s hard to regain it.� And with people fed up about so many things at once — stubbornly high unemployment, partisanship, big government, banker bonuses — Obama’s communications challenge is complex. He must connect to people’s bitterness without becoming exactly the person he warns about, politicians who exploit anger. And he has to personally relate to people’s wrenching financial losses when his natural style is to speak in a professorial, explanatory way. Even Obama has lamented a sense of public detachment from all his difficult first-year work, and has said he wants to do an improved job of communicating directly to people. Examples of the retooled effort abound. Obama gave a fiery pep talk during an Ohio town hall a few days after his party’s big loss in Massachusetts. The next week he mocked news organizations for saying he had shifted to a more populist message. “I’ve been fighting for working folks my entire adult life,� he said. In his State of the Union speech, Obama was speaking to Democratic and Republican lawmakers, but also,

really, to families watching at home, when he offered this I-hear-you-America line: “We all hated the bank bailout. I hated it. You hated it.� And Obama has gotten more vocal in seeking Republican help — knowing the nation is angry about bickering — but he challenges the opposition party each time. “We’ll call them out when they say they want to work with us, and we extend a hand and get a fist in return,� he said. “Fat cat� bankers, lobbyists, insurance companies, the media, even the Supreme Court. Obama has targeted all of them in trying to show people that he is on the regular guy’s side. “It’s perhaps a winning strategy in the short term,� said David Gergen, a political analyst and former adviser to four presidents. “It will help to align him with those who are frustrated. But it is not a winning strategy over the long haul. You can’t run for re-election pointing to all the things that are wrong with the system.� As Obama seeks to capture and channel the nation’s frustration, he has plenty of tools in his favor. He is viewed as likable by the public, he is still in just his 13th month in office, his party controls both chambers of Congress and he is seeing the economy start to recover. Working against him: Expectations. People want improved lives faster.

Indiana’s Evan Bayh announces he will retire from Senate WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Evan Bayh, a centrist Democrat from Indiana, announced Monday that he won’t seek a third term in Congress, giving Republicans a chance to pick up a Senate seat. “To put it in words I think most people can understand: I love working for the people of Indiana, I love helping our citizens make the most of their lives, but I do not love Congress,� Bayh said at a news conference Indianapolis, where he was joined by his wife and two sons. The departure of Bayh, who was on President Barack Obama’s short list of vice presidential candidate prospects in 2008, continues a recent exodus from Congress among both Democrats and Republicans, including veteran Democrats Christopher Dodd of Connecticut and Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island. The announcements have sprung up in rapid-fire fashion amid polls showing a rising anti-incumbent fervor and voter anger over Washington partisanship, high unemployment, federal deficits and lucrative banking industry bonuses. Obama thanked Bayh for his years of public service.

Clinton: Iran becoming a military dictatorship RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday Iran is sliding into a military dictatorship, a new assessment suggesting a rockier road ahead for U.S.-led efforts to stop Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. As the first high-level Obama administration official

to make such an accusation, Clinton was reflecting an everdimming outlook for persuading Iran to negotiate limits on its nuclear program, which it has insisted is intended only for peaceful purposes. The U.S. and others — including the two Gulf countries Clinton visited Sunday and Monday — believe Iran is headed for a nuclear bomb capability. Clinton also was revealing the logic of the administration’s plan to target the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps with a new round of international sanctions intended to compel Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions before it increases the likelihood of a military clash.

Gov’t: 34 deaths in Toyotas linked to sudden acceleration WASHINGTON (AP) — Complaints of deaths connected to sudden acceleration in Toyota vehicles have surged in recent weeks, with the alleged death toll reaching 34 since 2000, according to new consumer data gathered by the government. Complaints to a database maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the popular Toyota Prius hybrid grew by nearly 1,000 in just over a week. On Monday, Transportation Department spokeswoman Olivia Alair said NHTSA is quickly gathering information to help guide the government’s examination of sudden acceleration, the Prius braking system and other safety issues. Toyota Motor Corp. has recalled 8.5 million vehicles globally during the past four months because of problems with gas pedals, floor mats and brakes, threatening the safety and quality reputation of the world’s No. 1 automaker.

LADY JACKETS EDGE IMPS, ADVANCE IN TRI-9 TOURNEY SANFORD — Mikky Johnson’s layup as time expired helped keep the Lee County Lady Yellow Jackets’ season alive. Johnson, who was fouled on the play and missed the free throw, scored 27 points as the Lady Jackets defeated Cary 52-51 in the Tri-9 Conference Tournament play-in game on Monday night in Sanford. Trailing 51-50 with just five seconds remaining, Johnson took the ball the length of the floor and scored the go-ahead bucket. Brittany Scott scored eight points for the Lady Jackets. Katie Kremer had just five points but snagged down nine rebounds in the victory. Rashida Jackson added four points. The Lady Jackets will travel to Cary to battle top seed Green Hope at 7 p.m. Tuesday night. The semifinals will be played on Wednesday night at Holly Springs High School. The championship game will be played on Friday night.

Cycling JUDGE ISSUES ARREST WARRANT FOR LANDIS

NBA MAVS LOOK DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT AFTER BREAK DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mavericks look drastically different after the All-Star weekend in their back yard. While still leading the Southwest Division, the Mavericks lost five of seven games before the break — a slump that showed the necessity for change. They got two-time All-Star guard Caron Butler, 7-foot center Brendan Haywood and guard DeShawn Stevenson in a sevenplayer deal with Washington over the weekend. Josh Howard, Drew Gooden and two others were sent to the Wizards. Dallas had its first practice since the trade on Monday. The Mavericks play four games in five days, starting with a trip to Oklahoma City on Tuesday night.

PARIS (AP) — A French judge has issued a national arrest warrant for U.S. cyclist Floyd Landis in connection with a case of data hacking at a doping laboratory, a prosecutor’s office said. Judge Thomas Cassuto, who is based in the Paris suburb of Nanterre, is seeking to question Landis about computer hacking dating back to September 2006 at the Chatenay-Malabry lab, said Astrid Granoux, spokeswoman for Nanterre’s prosecutor’s office. The laboratory had uncovered abnormally elevated testosterone levels in Landis’ samples collected in the run-up to his 2006 Tour de France victory, leading to the eventual loss of his medal. Cassuto also issued a national warrant for Arnie Baker, a retired doctor and longtime Landis coach and adviser, the prosecutor’s office said.

After grabbing a rebound, Lee County’s Ricky West looks for the put-back during Friday night’s game against Fuquay-Varina on Friday night in Sanford. The Yellow Jackets clinched the No. 6 seed in the Tri-9 Conference tournament. They will play No. 3 seed Panther Creek tonight in Cary.

Yellow Jackets looking for another win at Panther Creek By RYAN SARDA

sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — One week ago today, the Lee County Yellow Jackets got a big victory against Panther Creek in Cary. The Yellow Jackets were forced to rally from a 14point halftime deficit and outscored the Catamounts 28-16 in the fourth quarter to keep their Tri-9 Conference winning streak alive with a 73-68 victory. When the Yellow Jackets (10-13, 6-10) meet the Catamounts (13-9, 10-6) at 7:30 tonight in the quarterfinals of the Tri-9 Conference Tournament in Cary, Lee County head coach Reggie Peace is hoping for the same outcome. Otherwise, the Yellow Jackets season is over. Winning the conference tournament would give the sixth-seeded Yellow Jackets a berth in the upcoming NCHSAA 4-A State Tourna-

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina’s John Henson was rated the No. 1 power forward by Scout.com coming out of high school a year ago. Yet until a few weeks ago, Henson had seen little time at that position during his first year of college ball. The freshman, who is listed at 6-10 and 195 pounds, had been backing up Will Graves Henson at the three spot and had struggled at the perimeter position for much of the season. But four games ago, UNC coach Roy Williams decided to try and work Henson down low a bit more and the results have been promising. Henson averaged 3 points and 2.3 rebounds in 10.5 minutes through the first 21 games of the season. Since that Virginia Tech game when the switch was made, he has averaged 8.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in 19 minutes. And with three forwards — Tyler Zeller, Ed Davis and Travis Wear — still expected to be out with injuries for tonight’s game at Georgia Tech (9 p.m., WRAL), Henson should see even more minutes in the post. “We started playing him a little more at the four trying to see if we could get more out of him that way,” Williams said. “So that’s been a move that has been helpful.” Henson said he did not ask to move down low, but Williams approached him about getting some time at power forward before the injuries to Wear and Davis. Since those two were injured within two days of each other, the Tar Heels (14-11, 3-7 ACC) now need Henson inside since they don’t have much size otherwise. The freshman has seen his minutes increase from 16 against Maryland

Lady Crusaders set to meet Greenville Christian in tourney By RYAN SARDA

sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Joel Murr had a chance to scout Greenville Christian’s 47-43 upset over Wake Christian in Raleigh last week. And judging from what he saw, Murr’s expecting quite a battle when Greenville Christian play his Grace Christian Lady Crusaders in the quarterfinals of the NCCSA 3-A State Tournament on Thursday night at Salem Baptist Christian in WinASHLEY GARNER/The Sanford Herald ston-Salem. “We’ve definitely got our work cut Grace Christian’s Taylor Comte (left), will be a key asset as the Lady Crusaders battle Greenville out for us,” said Murr, who has taken the Lady Crusaders to the title game in seven Christian in the quarterfinals of the NCCSA 3-A of the last 10 seasons. “They’ve got good State Tournament on Thursday night.

guard play that like to shoot the 3-pointer. They’re also good at getting second chance points. We’ve got to defend the 3-point line and do a better job of boxing out and keeping them off the boards.” With as close as Greenville Christian’s victory over Wake Christian was, Murr spent the majority of Monday’s practice going over late-game situations with his team. “You obviously want to avoid those situations at all costs,” said Murr. “You never know what can happen, though. We want to be as prepared as possible for any situation that we could possibly encounter. We

Brown: Jordan determined to buy Bobcats

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Former NBA great Michael Jordan could have a new role soon: team owner. Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown says Jordan is doing everything he can to become the majority owner of the club in his home state. Brown said Monday night that Jordan “wants it badly� and is hopeful he’ll soon be running the franchise. Bob Johnson is looking to sell the unprofitable club, and NBA commissioner David Stern said Saturday he expects a deal to be completed within two months. It’s uncertain if Jordan, currently a part owner with the final say on basketball deciAP photo sions, will be able to put an Team owner Chip Ganassi, left, and NASCAR driver Jamie McMurray are interviewed after winning the Daytona 500 ownership group together and auto race at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday in Daytona Beach, Fla. agree with Johnson on a price. Former Rockets executive George Postolos also has made inquiries about buying the team.

Daytona 500 win moves Ganassi into elite company DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Chip Ganassi squirmed a bit, shifted the microphone he was holding in his hands, then gazed blankly at the floor. Jamie McMurray had just been asked to describe his NASCAR team owner — the man who has taken two separate chances on McMurray — and Ganassi was clearly uncomfortable with the praise he was about to receive. “He’s not wanting me to compliment him right now,� McMurray said. But any kind words from McMurray had been earned.

Ganassi, after all, gave McMurray his first break when the little-known driver was looking for a shot at NASCAR’s top level. Then he had his ego bruised three years later when McMurray fled for a perceived better opportunity at Roush-Fenway Racing. Ganassi didn’t let the hurt feelings fester, though, and agreed to give McMurray another shot last fall when the driver found himself out of work. It all paid off Sunday night with a thrilling Daytona 500 victory, the biggest NASCAR win for both the driver and owner.

It was evident how grateful McMurray was from his tearful Victory Lane celebration, when he effusively thanked Ganassi, co-owner Felix Sabates, and sponsor Bass Pro Shops for giving him a second chance. Ganassi deflected the exultation in the hours after the victory, and tried to duck it again Monday at the Daytona 500 champion’s breakfast. “It’s not about me,� Ganassi said quietly. “It’s just not about me.� How wrong he is. Nevermind that McMurray’s win in the Super Bowl of NASCAR

moved Ganassi into elite company, joining Roger Penske as the only owners to win the Indianapolis 500, Daytona 500 and the prestigious 24 Hours of Daytona sports car race. More important, the win proved what Ganassi has insisted all along: He can be pushed all the way to the ropes in the brutal business of auto racing, but he will never be knocked down.

Winter Olympics Vonn’s shin feeling effects of bumpy course WHISTLER, British Columbia (AP) — The bumpy and jarring downhill training course didn’t do Lindsey Vonn’s badly bruised shin any favors. Calling it “probably the worst course for my shin,” the American Alpine star finished the more testing upper section in the fastest time of the morning training runs Monday —1 minute, 30.75 Vonn seconds, or 0.39 seconds faster than teammate Julia Mancuso. Skiing the much shorter bottom section after the men’s downhill finish, Vonn finished in 18.52 seconds, good for 20th and 0.73 seconds behind Sweden’s Anja Paerson. Those two runs now behind her, Vonn wouldn’t mind seeing Tuesday’s downhill training session postponed by weather — giving the shin yet another day to heal. She was fine — all things considered — until landing on the last jump. “That really hurt,” Vonn said. “It’s throbbing really bad.” If race officials decide to only run half of the course Tuesday — just to give the skiers more time on the slope — Vonn may elect to skip it.

on Feb. 7 to 20 against Duke on Wednesday to 26 against N.C. State on Saturday. He also combined for eight blocks in those games. “He is such a force inside because of his length,” Williams said. “He’s got to get a heck of a lot stronger and finish plays.” And for Henson to get stronger, he knows he needs to put on weight. The freshman does not have much bulk and easily gets pushed around inside by players such as Georgia Tech freshman Derrick Favors, who at 6-10 and 246 pound was rated the No. 1 center by Scout.com. Henson’s size also is part of the reason he and Williams mutually agreed he would play small forward in college.

The Sanford Herald / Tuesday, February 16, 2010 / 3B OLYMPIC BRIEFS Wescott gets gold medal in snowboardcross

WEST VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — American Seth Wescott has defended his Olympic title, overtaking Canada’s Mike Robertson to win the gold medal in the wild sport of men’s snowboardcross. Wescott, who struggled in qualifying, was seeded 17th of the 32 riders Monday but came out with his second gold medal, and America’s second of the Winter Olympics. He overcame a big deficit against Robertson, taking the lead about two-thirds of AP photo the way down the course and Switzerland’s Didier Defago reacts after setting the fastest time to win the gold medal hanging on at the end.

in the Men’s downhill at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics in Whistler, British Columbia, Monday.

Defago restores downhill gold to Switzerland, Miller takes bronze WHISTLER, British Columbia (AP) — Didier Defago broke a two-decade Swiss drought with gold in the Olympic downhill Monday and American Bode Miller broke his personal streak of major championship failures by taking the bronze. Defago sped down the Dave Murray course in 1 minute, 54.31 seconds to match countryman Pirmin Zurbriggen’s feat in the downhill at the 1988 Calgary Games — the last time a Swiss man had won an Olympic gold in any Alpine event. Married with two young children whom he often brings along to races, Defago had never won a medal at an Olympics or world championship. His lone World Cup victory came in a super-G in Val Gardena,

Italy, way back in 2002 before he won the two most prestigious downhills of the World Cup season on backto-back weekends last year in Wengen, Switzerland, and Kitzbuehel, Austria. “The conditions were perfect for me,” Defago said. “I knew I would do well, but I never expected to do this well. I had a great year with Wengen and Kitzbuehel. A medal had to come eventually for me.” While teammate and pre-race favorite Didier Cuche was still to ski, Defago was already aware he had laid down a special run and nearly fell over backward into the padding lining the finish area as he celebrated with both arms in the air. “He just nailed it right there. He didn’t have an easy year because of the

other guys who were taking the glory all the time,” said Marco Buechel, the Liechtenstein skier who trains with the Swiss team. “Everybody on our team is really happy for him.” Defending overall World Cup champion Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway took silver, a slim 0.07 seconds behind, and Miller was only 0.09 behind Defago. “It was a huge relief to execute and ski well,” Miller said. “Obviously it would’ve been great to be a little faster. I was psyched. I skied hard.” Having won two silvers at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, Miller becomes the first American to win three medals in Alpine skiing at the Olympics. Phil Mahre, Tommy Moe, Picabo Street and Diann Roffe each won two medals.

Father says luger worried about track’s danger TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — The father of a Georgian luger killed during a training run at the Vancouver Olympics says his son told him before the run that the track was too dangerous. Nodar Kumaritashvili’s (noh-DAHR’ KOO’-mah-reetahsh-VEE’-lee) father tells The Associated Press that he had a phone conversation with his son in which the young athlete shared his concerns about the track. David Kumaritashvilia is a former luger himself. He said his son told him that the track was very dangerous.

“The next level, I’m going to have to play out there a little bit,” Henson said. “It was a good thing for me, good experience for me. I’m not saying I’m not going to be out there again, but with the team right now, I need to be down low.” The Yellow Jackets (17-8, 5-6), who are coming off a 75-64 loss at Wake Forest on Saturday, have one of the most physical frontcourts in the ACC. Forward Gani Lawal is averaging 14.2 points and 9.4 rebounds, which is third in the conference, and Favors is averaging 8.1 rebounds and 11 points. And then there’s guard Iman Shumpert, who went off for 30 points in the Yellow Jackets’ 73-71 victory on Jan. 16 at the Smith Center. Shumpert played with a virus in Saturday’s game but was back at practice Monday and is expected to play tonight.

Kumaritashvili slipped off course during Friday’s practice run and died after slamming into an unpadded steel pole at nearly 90 mph.

Sweden’s Kalla wins women’s 10K crosscountry race WHISTLER, British Columbia (AP) — Charlotte Kalla of Sweden won the women’s 10kilometer freestyle race at the Vancouver Games for her first Olympic gold medal. Kalla led the interval start race from the first intermediate time and finished in 24 minutes, 58.4 seconds. Kristina Smigun-Vaehi of Estonia won silver, and Marit Bjoergen of Norway took the bronze medal.

Zamboni problems cause delay at speedskating oval RICHMOND, British Columbia (AP) — Problems with the Zamboni that resurfaces the ice in between races at the speedskating venue are causing a delay during the men’s 500 meters. Two Zambonis are used to clean the ice, but the Richmond Olympic Oval was down to just one Monday because of problems with the other. Then the second one acted up after the first 10 pairs completed their opening 500 race. The machine was driven off the ice, and workers opened up a panel to try to repair it.

Peace is hoping that history repeats itself in tonight’s game, but hopes for a different result in the end. “We had several guys on this team that were members of the team last year that went all the way to the championship,� said Peace. “So, we have that experience and we know it can be done. We’ve just got to take things one game at a time and play the best that we’ve played all year in a span of three games.� With a win, the Yellow Jackets will advance to play the winner of No. 7 seed Holly Springs and No. 2 seed Middle Creek in the semifinals. The semifinals and championship game will also be played at Panther Creek.

After a car collision, I was put under the care of an orthopedic doctor who prescribed physical therapy for a construction in the vertebrae of my neck and upper back. I felt better during physical therapy, but I left each session with the same problem in my back. Someone I knew had been helped almost miraculously by orthogonal chiropractic. At this friend’s recommendation, I went to a chiropractor in Raleigh. She asked me, “Why don’t you go to Dr. Ammons? He is closer to you and that’s who I go to.� So I did. After the first two or three visits, the constriction and pain was gone. I continued to receive treatment to train my muscles to go back to their proper state and my spine to stay in alignment. I was impressed at how painless treatment was. This practice is such a non-invasive approach to healing. Now I believe in keeping the spine healthy by proper alignment. Many symptoms can be traced back to spine alignment, I found. Therefore, I strive to eliminate that concern first when certain symptoms occur. Sometimes that’s all it takes to be on the road to recovery. Then again, sometimes another doctor must be sought out. I have recommended Dr. Ammons to countless friends and acquaintances, plus my husband, my elderly parents, my children, my brother. As far as I know, all have been satisfied with treatment and care. Some have been amazed at results received after months of seeking help through more traditional medical care One child was tormented with migraine headaches. She had received all the help the medial profession could give – including heavy drugs and treatment at one of the major hospitals in the triangle area. Another “Dr. Ammons� patient and I recommended to her parents that the see him. After getting her atlas aligned, she no longer had headaches! That was one happy child. No more drugs. No more pain. No more being told it was psychosomatic and she may need to see a psychiatrist! I could tell more similar stores of friend who have been helped immensely. I highly recommend this type of chiropractic care and Dr. Ammons! Peggy Guthrie Although we cannot guarantee results or predict how fast a patient will respond, Atlas Orthogonal care is profoundly effective in treating these conditions. Why suffer when help may be just a phone call away? Call not for an examination to see if specific upper cervical care might benefit you.

DEAR ABBY

Obesity is more a problem of quality than quantity DEAR ABBY: I am appalled and saddened when I go out to a restaurant and see the number of adults who force their children to eat. There are so many overweight people in the United States, why try to make a child finish a meal? They will eat when they are hungry; just don’t give them anything between meals. It hurts me to see parents say, “We can’t leave until you clean your plate” — like they are bad children for not eating. Please tell me if I’m off base on this issue. — MILWAUKEE GRANDMA

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: You’ll have an interesting way of approaching people and you will achieve your personal goals in an unexpected, unique manner that may be confusing for family and friends.

Your numbers are 4, 7, 11, 20, 26, 37, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t fret over something that hasn’t happened. Do your best and offer what you can without hesitation. Your willingness to be a participant instead of an onlooker will separate you from the crowd. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will impress far more people with productivity. If you can offer your services at a discount when times are tough, you will secure your position. Kindness and generosity will be repaid. 4 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may have to do some fast-talking to avoid a scene. Don’t let anyone put you in a precarious position by trying to pin something on you that is only partially your fault. Own up and move on. 2 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Trust your own mind to make the decisions that will benefit you most. Love is in the stars and making time for an enjoyable encounter with someone special will help you feel emotionally secure. Selfimprovement projects will go well. 5 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Aggressive talks will help you stabilize your position and can mark territory for a prosperous future.

Explain your every move with extreme accuracy and get approval before you do something that may be questioned. A love relationship may be jeopardized if you are too familiar with others. 2 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Don’t let an old competitor get the better of you now. A knowledgeable view of whatever situation you face will enable you to control the outcome. Mix the old with the new for a workable solution. 4 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Use your head when it comes to money matters. With a good budget, you can set your finances in order.

Be ready to make amends. 3 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A deal can be struck and a partnership started if you lay down some ground rules and are willing to put the past behind you. A show of emotions will help you gain sympathy and assistance. 3 stars

WORD JUMBLE

DEAR GRANDMA: Perhaps you shouldn’t judge so quickly. The problem of obesity in this country has less to do with parents forcefeeding their children than with children and adults who are consuming fattening foods in excessive portions and not burning off the calories. It may be that the children you are seeing want to consume only sweet, sugary foods -- and the parents are simply trying to get them to eat a balanced meal. o DEAR ABBY: A member of our family is very difficult to get along with and has a low boiling point. We never know what is going to trigger the anger, nor how long it will last. This person also likes to

play the victim. Everything gets blown out of proportion and 99 percent of the time is unmerited. To us, this behavior is rude, mean and cruel. Some people avoid personal contact because they are tired of having their feelings hurt. We know we can’t change this person, but is this a form of mental abuse? Should we continue to ignore the punishment we are getting and continue to be kind and thoughtful and hope the mood will pass? — TIRED OF THE TIRADES DEAR TIRED: The tirades could be considered a form of mental abuse, but they could also be signs of substance abuse, a mental illness or a personality disorder. Your relative’s behavior should not be ignored. In fact, I recommend you consult a licensed mental health

DEAR ABBY: My parents will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary and my mother’s 70th birthday in March. They have invited my siblings and me, plus our spouses and grandchildren for a Caribbean cruise. The celebration was planned around a time when most of us could take time off work and school. Unfortunately, the event coincides with my stepdaughter’s due date. Her mother (my wife) has already said she will stay behind for the birth. The problem is, my stepdaughter has said that anyone who misses the birth of her baby will not be allowed to have a relationship with her or her child. How do I make this right for my parents and my stepdaughter? — TROUBLED IN ILLINOIS DEAR TROUBLED: You can’t. It will be up to your wife to make her daughter understand that the world doesn’t revolve around her, and that her attempt to blackmail you into being there for the birth of the baby will not punish you or your family, but rather isolate herself and the child. It’s a mistake she’ll regret in the future.

ODDS AND ENDS Detroit suburb banks on bungalow-for-a-buck offer

MY ANSWER mixed with the manure.

Group uses condoms in endangered species crusade

TAYLOR, Mich. (AP) — A buck is all it will take to buy a bungalow in one Detroit suburb. That’s what Taylor officials are asking for a two-story Arts and Crafts-Style home built in 1926 that features four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The catch? City officials say the buyer of the 2,110-square-foot fixer must move it from its current location no later than May 31, because it sits on property they’d like to add to a nearby park. Records reviewed by The Detroit News indicate the city about 15 miles southwest of Detroit bought the home for $76,415 after it went into foreclosure last year. Officials estimate moving the home will cost at least $20,000. If no buyer comes forward, the city will demolish the home this spring.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — An environmental group plans to distribute 100,000 free condoms across the U.S. beginning on Valentine’s Day to call attention to the impact of human overpopulation on endangered species. The packages have slogans such as “Wrap with care, save the polar bear,” and “Wear a condom now, save the spotted owl.” The Center for Biological Diversity in Tucson says it will hand out six different condom packages with original artwork. The endangered species condoms will be distributed in bars, supermarkets, schools, concerts, parties, and other public events. The center’s Randy Serraglio says human overpopulation is destroying wildlife habitat at an unprecedented rate.

Love stinks! Minn. farmer creates manure valentine

Unemployed Ohio man chills out in extreme igloo

ALBERT LEA, Minn. (AP) — Nothing says “I love you” like a half-mile wide heart made out of manure. A southern Minnesota man created the Valentine’s Day gift for his wife of 37 years in their farm field about 12 miles southwest of Albert Lea (LEE). Bruce Andersland told the Alberta Lea Tribune that he started the project with his tractor and manure spreader Wednesday and finished Thursday. His wife, Beth, says it’s the biggest and most original Valentine she has ever received. She says some people might think it’s gross, but she says it’s cute and “Why not do something fun with what you got?” She says the heart would be darker except for the recent heavy snowfall that

AQUILLA, Ohio – It’s quite the man cave. Jimmy Grey says he’s been out of work for almost a year and needed a project to stay busy. So with the heavy snowfall this winter, the 25-year-old laborer got to work on an extreme igloo in his family’s yard in Aquilla, about 30 miles east of Cleveland. His four-room creation has 6-foot ceilings and an entertainment room. He powers the TV with an extension cord plugged into an outlet in the garage. He also ran wires for cable television with surroundsound stereo. Grey says candles help add ambiance for nighttime get-togethers with friends, and the freezing temperatures mean that the beer never goes warm.

Even children can understand God’s love Q: How old does a child have to be before they can understand the Gospel and make their decision to follow Jesus? Neither my husband nor I grew up in a religious home, so we’re sort of feeling our way on this with our own children. -- Mrs. N.M. A: A small child won’t understand everything about God or the Bible -- but they can understand something, and we need to do all we can to teach them about God and His love. After all, how old does a child have to be before they understand a parent’s love? Do we have to wait until they are older to let them know we love them? No, of course not. They sense our love almost from the moment they are born -- and as the years go by they’ll understand it even more. This is similar to God and His love for them. Almost as soon as a small child begins to talk, they can begin to understand that God exists (even if they can’t see Him), and that He loves them and takes care of them. (After all, they already know what love is because of the way you’ve shown it to them.) They also can begin to understand Jesus and what He did for them, and with child-like faith they can learn to pray and trust Him. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these” (Mark 10:14). Don’t wait, but begin now by teaching some simple prayers to your children, reading to them regularly from a children’s Bible storybook suitable for their age, and most of all, being an example to them of Christ’s love and truth in your daily lives.
