Head coach vacancy at SLHS?

Key pleads guilty to murders of father, boy

Principal says listing on jobs site ‘cautionary;’ Puryear says he’s not leaving By ALEX PODLOGAR alexp@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Might there be more drama in the ongoing saga that is the Southern Lee football program? Maybe. Maybe not.

In another twist for a program that has been through its fair share of ordeals since the resignation of inaugural coach Bryan Lee three years ago, a posting for a vacant head football coach appeared on the state’s school

jobs online board on Monday morning. But Southern Lee Principal Bonnie Almond called the posting, which lists a hiring date of Aug. 17, 2010,

Cavaliers head football coach Eric Puryear was 0-10 in his first year at Southern Lee. The Cavs were 1-9 the prior year.

Almanac Today is Tuesday, March 23, the 82nd day of 2010. There are 283 days left in the year. This day in history: On March 23, 1775, Patrick Henry delivered an address to the Virginia Provincial Convention in which he is said to have declared, “Give me liberty, or give me death!” In 1743, George Frideric Handel’s oratorio “Messiah” had its London premiere. (During the “Hallelujah Chorus,” Britain’s King George II, who was in attendance, stood — followed by the entire audience.) In 1806, explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, having reached the Pacific coast, began their journey back east. In 1919, Benito Mussolini founded his Fascist political movement in Milan, Italy. In 1933, the German Reichstag adopted the Enabling Act, which effectively granted Adolf Hitler dictatorial powers. In 1965, America’s first two-person space flight began as Gemini 3 blasted off from Cape Kennedy with astronauts Virgil I. Grissom and John W. Young aboard for a nearly 5-hour flight. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan first proposed developing technology to intercept incoming enemy missiles — an idea that came to be known as the Strategic Defense Initiative. Dr. Barney Clark, recipient of a Jarvik permanent artificial heart, died at the University of Utah Medical Center after 112 days with the device. In 1994, Luis Donaldo Colosio, Mexico’s leading presidential candidate, was assassinated in Tijuana.

Alleged kidnapper turns himself in

CHATHAM COUNTY

SANFORD — A 57-year-old man turned himself in to Sanford Police today after he allegedly kidnapped and beat a woman with a gun this morning. Ralph Edward Collins, of 110 Thistlecone Lane in Sanford, was charged with first degree kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon after turning himself in Monday afternoon. Around 8 a.m., a 24Collins year-old woman was leaving Stewart’s Convenience Store on Broadway Road when she was approached by Collins, who she recognized, said Sanford Police Capt. David Smith. Collins allegedly forced her into his car and headed south, Smith said. The woman, who dialed 911 in the car, fought against Collins, even while he allegedly beat her with a gun. Eventually, she was able to shift the car into a lower gear and jump out of it as Collins drove south on N.C. 87, Smith said. The woman then ran to a Kangaroo Express on N.C. 87 and a clerk called the police. Smith said the woman is “roughed up a little bit,� but doesn’t have any serious injuries. Smith stressed that the incident was not random and didn’t want the community to worry. Smith said Collins has a criminal record, but didn’t know specific details of his background. Collins is held in Lee County Jail under $75,000 bond. — by Caitlin Mullen

Children learn joys of reading, giving

CAMERON — Second graders from Johnsonville Elementary in Harnett County are helping others while they help themselves this school year by participating in Scholastic Book Clubs’ ClassroomsCare program, a philanthropy-based literacy campaign to teach children about the joys and importance of reading and giving. This spring, teacher Mary Oberlander’s classroom and thousands of others across the country read 50 books to show their support of Scholastic Book Clubs, a division of Scholastic, the global children’s publishing and media company, which will donate 250,000 new books to children of families living on military bases. Classrooms kept track of books read on posters and online and told Scholastic when they’d finished. Any books students read in the classroom, with their parents or on their own, count toward the goal. Teachers also can use lesson plans and activities available at www.scholastic.com/classroomscare to incorporate this program into their curriculum. Books are donated this spring through two of Scholastic Book Club’s charity partners, Reach Out and Read and Kids in Distressed Situations, which help identify children who need books most. “It’s always exciting to see children helping children through ClassroomsCare program,� said Judy Newman, President of Scholastic Book Clubs. “With the support and hard work of students across the country, thousands of children living on military bases whose parents are serving our country will get books of their own. The students at Johnsonville Elementary are spreading their love of reading and books while

Bypass will be 10,000th stimulus project From staff reports RALEIGH — Vice President Joe Biden named the U.S. 421 Sanford Bypass as the nation’s 10,000th American Recovery and Reinvestment Act project during his recent visit to the Durham headquarters of Cree Inc., a manufacturer of energy-efficient LED lighting products. When completed, the U.S. 421 Bypass, also named the Oscar Keller Bypsass, will provide another route for trucks traveling between Fayetteville and Greensboro on existing U.S. 421, and ease congestion through Sanford on heavily congested Horner Boulevard. A groundbreaking ceremony for the bypass will take place March 29. “We are honored to be a part of this important national milestone,�said State Transportation Sec-

retary Gene Conti. “The recovery act has provided much-needed jobs for North Carolinians and allowed us to move forward with critical improvements to the state’s transportation system — such as replacing aging bridges and building highways like the Sanford Bypass

that ease congestion and improve mobility — that would have otherwise been delayed for years due to a lack of funding.� D.H. Griffin Infrastructure LLC, a Greensborobased company, was awarded the $26.7 million contract to construct a 2.3-mile section of the

Bypass in Lee County. D.H. Griffin plans to hire more than 45 new employees to work on the project. The company was also awarded an $8.6 million contract to widen 2.3 miles of U.S. 401 in Wake County, and will hire up to 25 new people to complete that project.

Prom dress give-away a wonderful program Our View Issue Many families can't afford the glitz and glamour often associated with the high school prom

Our stance Christians United Outreach Center of Lee County has stepped in to provide free high-quality prom dresses for families who otherwise couldn’t afford them this year

H

igh school is a memorable time for young people. It’s a time when learning — both from books and from life — should of major priority. Of the many extracurricular activities that students have the opportunity to experience, the annual school prom is one event that provides memories for a lifetime. But for some, it can be a disappointment — especially for those who would like to be dressed in tuxedos or dresses that equal their peers, but do not have the financial means. Thankfully, the Second Chance Gowns program — operated through the Christians United Outreach Center of Lee County

— is available for those young women who want the high school prom experience and the beautiful gowns that go with that experience. Let’s face it. Today, families may have more important items to deal with than the glitz and glamour of the high school prom experience. But through this program, these young women can have the prom experience that makes the moment so special. “It helps with their self-esteem,” volunteer Jamie Pedley told The Herald. “They’re princesses for the day and they don’t have to worry about cost.” While the Christians United Outreach Center is gracious to host

such a beneficial program, special thanks should go to the businesses and people in the community who donate these dresses for these women to wear to the prom. In addition, of the many volunteers, supervisor Reba Brewington deserves special recognition. Brewington, an employee in the Career and Technical Education Department at Lee County High School, has been supervising the program for CUOC for the past five years. “I just think it does wonders. We treat them like they’re queens,” Brewington said. “We just want them to feel like it’s a special event for them.” There may be more impor-

tant necessities that our young people need to succeed in life, but self-esteem is certainly one of those — something that is apparent by those students who benefit from the Second Chance Gowns program. One student told The Herald that she probably wouldn’t have been able to go to the dance without help from this program. Just being able to attend the prom, thanks to this program, is a selfesteem builder in itself. Kudos the Second Chance Gowns program ... for its sponsors ... for its volunteers ... for those who have given gowns ... and for the students who will benefit.

Taxes well hidden

R

ALEIGH — In 1898, Congress adopted a one penny tax on longdistance telephone calls to help pay for the Spanish-American War. As amazing as it seems, politicians and the America people once believed in pay-as-you-go wars, as opposed to borrow-as-you-go wars. The tax was adopted as a temporary measure. Sure enough, it turned out to be temporary. After expiring and then being revived at higher rates during World War I and later the Great Depression, the tax finally came off the books for good in 2006. Even then, Congress didn’t do the deed. After several lawsuits, the Treasury Department agreed to stop collecting the tax. North Carolina has its own version of the Spanish-American War phone tax. It’s a little-publicized, 60-cent 911 charge that shows up your local telephone bill. Two decades after the charge was put in place, state legislators seem to have forgotten that it was intended to pay for a one-time expense — upgrading 911 emergency calling technology and mapping so that police and emergency responders could match calls to locations. ... These days, a state House study committee is debating whether to allow local governments to spend the money on more things, including furnishing 911 centers and training dispatchers. Local governments also want legislators to expand the types of communication equipment that can be bought. County and municipal government officials argue that fee should pay for all parts of 911 calling, down to the radios that police carry. But since the charges was put in place, legislators have limited how the money can be spent. The law was adopted with the idea that any expenses that predated the advanced 911 system — be it police car radios or dispatcher salaries — shouldn’t be paid for with the tax. Just one problem, as local government officials see it: The spending restrictions mean that tax collections are accumulating faster than the money can be spent. Across the state, reserves totaling $92 million have built up. ... Three years ago, legislators did protect consumers a bit. They gave a state board more oversight of the 911 fees and set a flat rate of 70 cents per month per phone line, a fee that the board dropped to 60 cents last summer. Before 2007, local governments set their own rates. Some were $2 or more a month, fees set with the idea that the legislature might eventually swing open the door to allow more uses. Three years later, legislators seem intent on finally giving them that opening. If so, North Carolinians can probably wait another century for it to close again.

Declaration of Independents

W

ASHINGTON — It will surprise few to learn that the big picture often slips unnoticed past Washington’s

window. The tea party movement — organic, angry and thriving — is only the most recent to take insiders by surprise. Out yonder, among shuttered storefronts and leaner lifestyles, the tea party has been a predictable response to supersized government spending and aggressive hubris. Another movement percolating right in front of our noses seems to be equally invisible to establishment eyes. Independents — neither right nor left, but smack dab in the broad middle — today constitute 42 percent of the electorate, according to a recent CBS/New York Times poll. Approximately 70 million strong, these are America’s new homeless class, people who are equally disgusted with both traditional parties and the special interests that control them. They’re all ages, sexes, races, ethnicities, though younger Americans are crowding the front rows. Of those born after 1977, 44 percent self-identify as independent. Independents as a group outnumber either party, in other words. Yet, given the hyperpartisanship that began under George W. Bush — and that has accelerated during President Obama’s first year, thanks in large part to the enabling mechanism of the Internet — one would think that America were divided into hard left and hard right. We’re not. We’re a vast middle, slightly right-of-center nation. How is it that so many feel so disenfranchised by so few? I run into the politically homeless everywhere I go. Meet two South Carolina men named Joe, with whom I chatted with over the Christmas holiday. Neither a plumber nor a six-pack, both are successful businessmen and lifelong Republicans now wandering the political desert. Fiscal conservatives alienated by the GOP excesses, they’re equally loath to identify themselves as Democrats. Fast forward to the University of Pennsylvania where I spoke to a journalism class a couple of weeks ago. I talked a bit about the wingnuttery that has hijacked politics and how some of us who consider ourselves moderates (otherwise known as apostates) have decided it’s time to denounce the harsh partisans who feed on polarization. It’s time to give independents a voice. This is, of course, a punch line in true-believer circles, where independents are considered squishy and lacking in principled conviction. This has never been true, or else George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan, among others, never would have been president. Reagan probably wouldn’t win his party’s nomination today. The far left is equally nutty, it goes without saying. For every Pat Robertson, there’s an Al Sharpton, as John McCain pointed out

Kathleen Parker Columnist Kathleen Parker is a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group

in Virginia Beach in 2000, possibly his best speech ever. But how has this happened? Why have we given the loudest voices so much power when their numbers are so few? As John Avlon writes in his book, “Wingnuts,” the lunatic fringe may have networks and netroots, “but we (centrists) have the numbers.” Isn’t it time we stand up to the extremes on both sides? After the Penn class, a female student approached and said in a low, almost conspiratorial voice: “You know, what you said in there? Please do that. Do it soon.” Centrists — who may be broadly defined as fiscally conservative, socially libertarianish — have been relatively quiet as “patriots” have made threats, building armies of “hunters” to bring down RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) and DINOs (Democrats in Name Only), or creating online “Leper Colonies” to post the names of those who, for example, dared speak out against Sarah Palin. The latter was the creation of Erick Erickson, founder of RedState.com, recently hired as a CNN commentator ... Thusly, do hyperpartisans become mainstream. It’s fine to be angry about bad policies; it’s fine to hold politicians’ (and journalists’) feet to the fire. But it is not fine to demonize dissent and cultivate rage. We should know by now where demagoguery leads. America’s first popularly elected female senator, Maine’s Margaret Chase Smith, knew — and she bravely faced down fellow senator Joseph McCarthy in 1950 with her “Declaration of Conscience” against hate and character assassination. Twenty years later, on the anniversary of her declaration, she wrote words that resonate yet again: “It is time that the great center of our people, those who reject the violence and unreasonableness of both the extreme right and the extreme left ... shed their intimidated silence and declared their consciences.” Hear, hear. And, dare I say, mega-dittos.

Today’s Prayer ... when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:10) PRAYER: Thank You, Father, for Your strength in times of trouble. Amen.

To the Editor: In Tammy Rausch’s letter to the Editor published March 3, she accuses Rep. Jimmy Love Sr. and I of being “ambulancechasing trial lawyers.” For the record, I am a trial lawyer and proud of it. I would rather see civil disputes resolved in a court of law than in a duel or in the streets with torches like the old days. How about you? Rep. Love, however, is not a trial lawyer. He is a lawyer/legislator. Rep. Love has maintained a successful small business, to wit: a small town general practice of law for approximately 50 years and has assisted thousands of Lee County residents and their families with will, real estate closings, traffic tickets, business transactions, family and domestic matters ... and the list goes on. He has served as city attorney for the City of Sanford and currently serves as town attorney for the Town of Broadway. He currently serves as attorney for the Lee County Board of Education. Additionally, when Rep. Love is not in his law office, he is in Raleigh ably representing the citizens of Lee County as he has done for numerous terms as our state legislator. Rep. Love did not and does not have time to be chasing ambulances. Ms. Rausch’s letter to the editor attacks lawyers generally. The fact of the matter is that the percentage of lawyers in the legislature now is much less than it was 10, 20 or 30 years ago. Does the legislature function better now or then? In William Shakespeare’s King Henry VI, Shakespeare’s recognition of the important role lawyers play in maintaining the rule of law and the fruits of civilization emerges when a conspirator engaged in a plot to establish a dictatorship says, “The first thing we do, lets kill all the lawyers.” The conspirator’s goal, of course, was to destroy the rule of law so that the citizens would have no legal protection. In these trying times, we need more lawyers in the legislature not less and we need veteran lawyer/legislators like Jimmy Love, not rookies. CHIP POST Sanford

6A / March 23, 2010 / The Sanford Herald second and final round, the word “armature” brought first-timers Lee County High School Dagudspilurs down to one balloon, tying them with the Trinity team. But Trinity won on the next word, “plumbeous,” and the crowd erupted. Trinity team member Kendra Martin said the team’s cheering section has been the key to their success. A small crowd showed up Monday night to support and applaud them. Team captain Joe Dilworth said they were confident they’d take the bee for the third year in a row. “We like the competi-

Judges popped one of each team’s four balloons if a word was misspelled. In the first round, many balloons were popped after the words “saltatory” and “corporeal” were spelled; the teams cheered or gasped in response. Near the end of the

tion. It’s fun,” he said. “You can’t really study for a spelling bee. You just have to know derivations of words and things like that.” The event’s organizer, Reinette Seaman, said the Delta Rho chapter of Delta Gamma uses the bee’s proceeds to provide both English and Spanish versions of “Goodnight Moon” to newborns at Central Carolina Hospital. “Don’t stop spelling, because we want you to spell and win and provide money for those babies,” she told the crowd. Seaman asked those who’ve received a copy of “Goodnight Moon” to stand, and a large group of people stood, garnering a round of applause. Family literacy is important to “continue to support their learning efforts from reading when they’re toddlers to high school,” Seaman said.

with what I’m hearing and seeing out in this local economy,” he said. “I really think that we’re going to be OK. ... It’s going to take much longer for businesses to get back to the normal. But I’m pleased that it didn’t get worse.” It’s nice to finally be on the positive side of the ledger, though the number is “still way, way too high,” said Bob Joyce, president of the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce. Because 30-35 percent of Lee County’s workforce is in the manufacturing field — much higher than the rest of the state, Heuts said, which is about 21.5 percent — the county was hit hard as the recession set in. “Our workforce is so tied to manufacturing and it has been for a century,” Joyce said, referring to Lee County’s involvement in making buggy parts decades ago. Today, Caterpillar, Moen and other manufacturing companies rare some of the largest employers in town. “We were hurt early,” Joyce said. With the arrival of the recession in fall 2008, “we were having layoff after layoff after layoff. We went up early and, unfortunately, it has stayed there.” Now, it’s impacting other parts of the state’s economy, he said. “Our difference is while our rate is still very high, we are beginning to see a return,” Joyce said. “We got bad early and we’re getting better early.” Many companies are now beginning to employ people through temporary or contract work, which makes things easier for the companies, Joyce said. But the hope is “if this

thing continues to get better, they’ll put some of those people on the regular payroll,” he said. Caterpillar Lead Communicator Michelle Noe said the Sanford branch has added 30-40 agency workers since January and the company will continue to add more temporary workers in the next several weeks. Caterpillar has laid off or furloughed hundreds of workers between the Sanford and Clayton facilities. The company doesn’t release the number of employees at individual facilities, but Noe said Caterpillar employs 1,800 people in North Carolina. The manufacturing assembly technician positions are filled by temporary workers that are not considered Caterpillar employees, Noe said. She did not know how many of the workers are from Lee County and she couldn’t say if the company hoped to hire the workers permanently. “We can’t speculate what’s going to happen in the future,” Noe said. “We’re responding to needs at the Sanford facility.” Even temporary work is beneficial for the county, Joyce said. “If it’s 200 to 300 families that we’re getting a paycheck that didn’t have one the month before ... they’re going to spend it at the restaurants or the florist or the dry cleaners,” he said. “It’s so important for us to get folks back to work.” Heuts said some say manufacturing is dying in the U.S., but he doesn’t believe that. Americans will always build things with the drive to make them faster and better, he said. “We’ve got some real strengths here in the machining industry. We’ve got some great expertise here,” Heuts said. “We would expect to continue to build on what we have here.”

The Sanford Herald / Tuesday, March 23, 2010 / 7A for the opening before Maczko was hired, was not interviewed for the head coaching position a year later and subsequently resigned from Lee County Schools. In the job position, under the heading of “Minimum Experience�, reads: “Valid North Carolina Teaching. Coaching experience required.� Lee left the Cavaliers to move closer to his hometown in southern Illinois after leading the team to the state playoffs in each of its first two varsity seasons. In Southern Lee’s first varsity season in 2006, Lee and the Cavaliers matched the state record for most victories in an inaugural season, with five. A year later, Southern Lee advanced to the second round of the state playoffs after upsetting Cape Fear Valley Conference champion and No. 2seeded South Johnston in the first round. As a No. 15 seed, it was the largest upset in the state playoffs in the opening round in 2007. Since Lee left, however, Southern Lee has won just one game.

Citing personnel issues, Almond would not comment on what the requirements might be. Puryear would not comment about the posting, but said he had no plans of leaving the school or the program after his first season. “I am still the head coach and I am not quitting or resigning,� Puryear said Monday afternoon. Puryear came to Southern Lee on June 9, 2009, following the brief and controversial one-year run of first-year head coach Bill Maczko, who was forced out of the position following a 1-9 season marred by complaints from football parents of verbal abuse of players. “I think Coach Puryear will do an outstanding job for us,� former Southern Lee Principal Rob Dietrich said in June when Puryear was approved by the Lee County School Board. The Cavaliers did not win a game during the 2009 season, but there were no public complaints from parents about the treatment of players. Puryear was hired after a successful run as a position coach and coordinator at the college level, having coached on the defensive side of the ball at Johnson C. Smith and Wingate, among others. Puryear did not have a teaching degree when he came to Southern Lee, and was not hired without some controversy. Many of the parents and players connected to the Cavaliers program openly campaigned for then-offensive coordinator Mike Short to get the head job. Short, who was considered

a robbery attempt in his home. Kevin Key had avoided charges in Way’s death for years, even after he was implicated by Victor Gamble, who received his life sentence in 2006. According to District Attorney Susan Doyle, the state pursued a sentence of life without parole for Key at the request of Way’s family. She said the state may have also been precluded from seeking the death penalty because of questions concerning Key’s mental capacity. The families of both victims were in court Monday for the sentencing. “The victims’ families are pleased to now have some closure without the further pain of having to endure a trial,� Doyle said, speaking on the families’ behalf.

THE MURDERS On Oct. 12, 2008, Kevin Key called Lee County’s 9-1-1 and reported that his father had committed suicide at their residence at 521

his body inside a nearby abandoned mobile home. According to the investigation, Gamble’s fingerprints were found inside the mobile home, and he pawned the jewelry he stole from the Way home. Gamble pleaded guilty to the murder in 2006 to avoid the death penalty, and he is currently serving a life sentence at Scotland County Correctional Institution without the possibility of parole. Gamble implicated Key, whose home was less than a quarter-mile from Way’s, but Key never admitted to his involvement until he was questioned about his father’s death. “He did admit to being at the residence, and removing Way’s body,� said Capt. Jeff Johnson of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office said in 2008. “But he never admitted to the actual partaking of the homicide.� While Key was never arrested for the death, Carter said he had always remained a suspect.

At the time, Kevin Key told deputies he saw his father with a rifle to his head, and he said after he attempted to get the gun from his father, Eddie Key shot himself. Lee County Sheriff Tracy Carter told The Herald at the time that the deputy who responded first noticed the evidence didn’t correspond with the story. Crime scene investigators were called to the scene, he said, and Key later admitted to investigators that he was the one who shot his father, saying it was retaliation for “years of abuse.� Key already had a history with the sheriff’s office after he was implicated in the 2004 death of 11-year-old Brandon Way. Way’s home near the LeeMoore county line was broken into on July 12, 2004, and the burglar, Victor Gamble was surprised to see the boy there. According to deputies, Gamble beat Way to death and hid

The Foof Lion store manager reported seeing a suspicious man enter the men’s bathroom. As the manager checked the bathroom, Miller — wearing a mask — placed a handgun in the face of the manager. Prior to that, Miller allegedly kidnapped two employees of Papa John’s by confining them to a cooler in the pizzeria while he took an undisclosed amount of money. Sanford Police Capt. David Smith said Miller wore the same outfit while attempting to rob Food Lion at 2904 S. Horner Blvd. that he wore while allegedly robbing Papa John’s. Miller was placed in Lee County Jail under a $500,000 secure bond, on top of the $500,000 secured bond for his charges regarding the attempted robbery and kidnapping at Food Lion Friday, Smith said.

Obama to sign health bill, take it on the road By ERICA WERNER Associated Press Writer

Opponents take last stand against bill

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is poised to sign the landmark health care bill ushering in near-universal medical coverage for the first time in the nation’s history — and then he’ll hit the road to resume selling it to a reluctant public. Obama will travel to Iowa City, Iowa, on Thursday, the White House said, as he turns to seeing a companion bill through the Senate and talking up the overhaul’s benefits on behalf of House members who cast risky votes. Obama is expected to sign the bill Tuesday at the White House, spokesman Robert Gibbs said Monday. A South Lawn ceremony is planned. Obama is inviting all lawmakers who supported the bill and other Americans whose stories represent the need for reformed health care, Gibbs said. “Last night we made history,� House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters as she signed the legislation, a formality before Obama’s own signature. “It’s on a par with passing Social Security and Medicare.� The House voted 219212 late Sunday to send

In a defiant last stand against a newly passed health care overhaul, opponents are trying everything they can to stop it from becoming the law of the land. Republicans in the Senate are planning parliamentary maneuvers to keep a companion bill from reaching the president’s desk. And lawmakers in at least 30 states are working to prevent what they say is an unconstitutional mandate forcing Americans to have health insurance. Experts say none of it is likely to work, but it will keep the issue, and the outrage, alive until Election Day. “I am surprised by the mobilization of the states. It does strike me as a kind of civil disobedience, a declaration that we’re not going to follow the law of the land,� said Mark Hall, a professor of law and public health at Wake Forest University. “It doesn’t make sense. The federal Constitution couldn’t be any clearer that federal law is supreme,� Hall added. The House passed the plan late Sunday, sparking a variety of protests and threats less than a day later. By Monday, at least nine state attorneys general had promised to file suit against the federal government as soon as Obama signs the bill. The states were Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Michigan, Nebraska, Washington. Officials in North Dakota were weighing whether to join the case.

The 10-year, $938 billion bill would extend coverage to 32 million uninsured Americans, reduce deficits and ban insurance company practices such as charging more to women and denying coverage to people with medical problems. “This is what change looks like,� Obama said after the vote, a remark echoing his 2008 campaign promise of “change we can believe in.� “We proved that this government — a government of the people and by the people — still works for the people.� Obama’s young presidency received a much needed boost from passage of the legisla-

tion, which would touch the lives of nearly every American. The battle for the future of the health insurance system — affecting one-sixth of the economy — galvanized Republicans and conservative activists looking ahead to November’s midterm elections. A companion package making a series of changes sought by House Democrats to the main bill, which already had passed the Senate, was approved 220-211. The fix-it bill will now go to the Senate, where debate is expected to begin as early as Tuesday. Senate Democrats hope to approve it unchanged and send it directly to Obama, though Republicans plan parliamentary objections

John McCain said Monday morning that Democrats have not heard the last of the health care debate, and said he was repulsed by “all this euphoria going on.� Appearing on ABC’s “Good Morning America,� McCain, who was Obama’s GOP rival in the 2008 presidential campaign, said that “outside the Beltway, the American

HEALTH CARE BRIEFS BCBS-NC praises health care overhaul bill CHAPEL HILL (AP) — The head of North Carolina’s largest health insurance company sees Washington’s overhaul of the health insurance landscape as a positive step. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina CEO Brad Wilson said Monday he hopes Congress will go fur-

ther by acting to hold down rising health care costs. Wilson says those costs are driving insurance premiums higher. Legislation approved late Sunday bans insurance company from denying coverage to people with pre-existing medical conditions. Health insurers also would get a big increase in customers since most Americans would be required to buy insurance or face penalties if they refused. Blue Cross ended 2009 with its growth in policyholders flat and profits down 42 percent from the previous year.

people are very angry. They don’t like it, and we’re going to repeal this.� The complicated twostep approval process for the legislation was made necessary because Senate Democrats lost their filibuster-proof supermajority in a special election in January, a setback that caused even some Democratic lawmakers to pronounce the yearlong health care effort dead. Under the relentless prodding of Pelosi, in particular, it was gradually

3 N.C. Dems join GOP in opposing health care bill RALEIGH (AP) — Three conservative congressional Democrats joined all five North Carolina Republicans in voting against health care legislation that passed the U.S. House. First-term lawmakers Larry Kissell and Heath Shuler joined Reps. Mike McIntyre in opposing the health care overhaul legislation. They were among 34 dissident Democrats who joined every Republican in opposition. The Senate-passed bill cleared the House on a 219212 vote. President Barack Obama plans to sign the measure into law.

Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, the topranking black member of the House. All three dissident North Carolina Democrats also voted against a second measure clearing up details of the of the first. That legislation cleared the House on a 220-211 vote and was sent to the Senate, where Democratic leaders say they have the votes needed to pass it quickly.

Health care companies pull stock market higher

NEW YORK (AP) — Drug and hospital companies led stocks higher Monday after lawmakers ended months of uncertainty and approved the health care overhaul bill. The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 44 points. Broader indexes also climbed. Investors had expected the health care bill would pass the House, but the approval late Sunday removed some of the anxiety about health care that has dogged stocks of hospitals and drug makers. A bill with changes made by the House now goes back to the Senate for approval. Debate could begin Tuesday. The 10-year, $938 billion bill will extend benefits to 32 million uninsured Americans. That will far-reaching effects on health companies. With the bill in hand, investors could place bets on winners and losers. Hospital stocks rose on expectations they would see more business and increased revenue. Some insurers fell because of greater restrictions imposed by the changes.

STATE BRIEFS

Postmaster’s tradition to end at work

ASHEVILLE (AP) — Asheville Postmaster Danny Jones’ grandfather earned $5 a day when he started working for the U.S. Postal Service in the early 1920s — and he had to feed his transportation. “My mother tells a story where my grandfather was delivering mail with a horse and buggy,� said Jones, whose father also worked for the Postal Service. “The snow was so deep, it was almost up to the waist of the horses’ legs. She remembers that as a little girl.� Now, with his children interested in other pursuits, Jones may be the last in a century’s worth of men in his family to work for the agency. He could soon be witness to the end of another tradition, too — Saturday mail delivery. “It’s part of change and

progress,� Jones said. “We just have to look at what the revenue can sustain.� As the Postal Service debates cost-cutting measures, other options exist, Jones said, though many customers might be willing to do without weekend delivery. “A lot of residential customers have informed me it really doesn’t matter to them whether they get Saturday delivery or not,� he said. The number of items handled by the Postal Service fell from 213 billion in 2006 to 177 billion last year, officials said, largely because of electronic communication. The agency could face a cumulative loss of $238 billion over 10 years, Postmaster General John Potter said. Ending Saturday delivery would save about $3.5 billion per year.

Frederic V. Rolando, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers, also urged Congress to provide the post office with “financial breathing room,� but he opposed eliminating one day of delivery. Potter said he would like to see mail delivery cut to five days a week starting next year, but he still has to convince legislators and the Postal Regulatory Commission. “This is something we’ve been discussing for over a year,� Jones said. Other cost-cutting options include consolidating routes, which the Postal Service cut by 12,000 in the past year, and allowing the agency to use a “pay-as-yougo� structure for retiree health benefits. “I’m not sure the general public is aware that back in 2006, Congress

enacted the Postal Reform Act, which required us to prefund retiree health benefits,� Jones said. The move cost the Postal Service $5 billion per year, he said. “That’s really what’s been hampering us, along with the decline in mail volume,� he said. “And with the decline in volume, we don’t have the workload to sustain six days of delivery.� So far, Jones hasn’t experienced too much of an uproar over the proposed change. Though customers may not see Saturday delivery as a necessity, he said, it remains a welcome tradition. “I think it’s something we’ve become accustomed to. It’s there, and we don’t want to lose it,� he said. “But I don’t think we’re putting thought into whether we can afford it.�

Supreme court considers education rights

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s Supreme Court was again considering Monday how much the state’s constitution protects a student’s right to education, hearing arguments on whether school officials should have suspended two students for five months after a fight. An attorney for students Viktoria King and Jessica Hardy argued that their

actions did not give the school district the right to deny them access to education. King and Hardy were suspended in January 2008 during their sophomore year and were not allowed to attend an alternative school in the area. “Their adolescent missteps do not give us the right to banish them and to strip from them their constitutional rights,� said

attorney Jane R. Wettach. An attorney for the Beaufort County Schools superintendent said the students temporarily forfeited their education rights through misconduct. He said the state already puts limits on school suspensions and that school officials have a rational reason to use that option. “Suspension is ratio-

nally related to the board’s legitimate interest in deterring violence at school,� said lawyer Trey Allen. “It’s that simple.� North Carolina’s top court ruled in 1997 that the state Constitution gives each child a right to a “sound basic education.� But that case focused on school funding and didn’t directly address issues such as misbehavior.

Fetzer: Board should track Perdue campaign RALEIGH (AP) — The state Republican Party wants North Carolina’s elections board to pursue harder an investigation of all the campaign finances of Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue. GOP Chairman Tom Fetzer told reporters on Monday he’s unhappy with the pace and breadth of the review by the State Board of Elections into Perdue’s political committee. The Bev Perdue Committee last Friday forfeited $48,000 in contributions from nine donors after the campaign became worried the nine were unlawfully reimbursed by their employer. Board executive director Gary Bartlett has said staff is looking at the donations as well as campaign flights taken by 17 gubernatorial candidates since 2004. Following a self-audit, Perdue’s campaign filed paperwork recently on 31 previously undisclosed flights valued at more than $25,000.

Man loses lawsuit over Duke lacrosse firing GRAHAM (AP) — A former executive for a private North Carolina laboratory that provided DNA testing in the Duke lacrosse rape case has lost a lawsuit challenging his firing. The Times-News of Burlington reported that Superior Court Judge J.B. Allen

Jr. on Friday dismissed the lawsuit by former DNA Security Inc. director Brian Meehan. The Burlington company said it terminated Meehan in 2007 for “just cause.� The lab’s initial report omitted the fact that evidence collected from the accuser matched none of the Duke lacrosse players who underwent DNA testing. Meehan later testified the lab’s report was tailored to suit former Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong. The three athletes were exonerated. Nifong was stripped of his law license.

Bogdanovich joins faculty of filmmaking school WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Hollywood director and actor Peter Bogdanovich is joining the faculty of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, where he’ll teach two classes this semester. Bogdanovich is best known for directing films including “The Last Picture Show,� “What’s Up, Doc?,� “Paper Moon� and “Mask.� Among his notable acting roles is that of Lorraine Bracco’s psychiatrist in HBO’s “The Sopranos.� Bogdanovich will begin teaching in the filmmaking school in Winston-Salem in the 2010 term, which starts Monday. He will teach two classes on directing. Filmmaking school dean Jordan Kerner says every major film school in the country tried to hire Bogdanovich.

Bush Treasury head Paulson speaks at UNC-CH

CHAPEL HILL (AP) — The man who spearheaded the Bush Administration’s $700 billion bank bailout fund is explaining his decisions to a North Carolina crowd. Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson visits the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Monday to discuss the economy, then and now. Paulson recently authored a memoir in which he describes his role in stopping the feared collapse of the global financial system in October 2008, the worst such crisis since the Great Depression. The former head of investment bank Goldman Sachs will answer questions posed by a fellow former Wall Street banker, William Harrison Jr. Harrison is a 1966 UNC graduate and the retired chairman and chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Bush told reporters their purpose was to see the devastation first hand and “remind the American people there is still suffering and work to be done here.� He said they also wanted to encourage

entrepreneurship in Haiti to create jobs and grow the economy. “Hopefully, our visit will remind people that Haiti needs help,� Bush said. Lucharles Jean-Laudius, one of hundreds of thousands of people left homeless by the earthquake, welcomed the visit as a sign that the U.S. would continue to supply aid. He feared the recent withdrawal of American troops was a sign the world was losing interest in their plight. “But if the presidents are coming it’s because they want to help, that’s a good thing,� said the

34-year-old Jean-Laudius, who lives under a plastic tarp with his wife and two children near the national palace. While the government and business leaders hail their appearance as a signal of America’s commitment, the visit by two ex-presidents who have played major roles in Haiti’s recent political trajectory is also reminding the country of its tumultuous past. Supporters of ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide staged a protest outside the national palace, with about 100 participants, burning tires and demanding the return of their exiled leader. Clinton and Bush visit as the country struggles to feed and shelter victims of the magnitude-7 quake, which killed an estimated 230,000 people. Another 1.3 million quake survivors are homeless, with many living in camps prone to dangerous flooding in the April rainy season. The visit aims to spotlight the dramatic need ahead of a critical March 31 U.N. donors conference in New York, where Haitian officials will ask for $11.5 billion in reconstruction help.

Washington for talks with the Obama administration. Netanyahu’s arrival Monday coincides with a difficult period in U.S.-Israel relations, aggravated by Israel’s announcement of plans for new Jewish homes in east Jerusalem, which the Palestinians want as the capital of a future state The prime minister will meet with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday afternoon, then have dinner with Vice President Joe Biden Monday night. He will also give a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a pro-Israel group.

Clinton: US wants biting sanctions on Iran WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed Monday that the Obama administration will not accept a nuclear armed Iran and is working on sanctions “that will bite� to press it to come clean about its suspect atomic program. In remarks to a pro-Israel group, Clinton said parts of Iran’s government are “a menace� to the Iranian people and the Middle East. Israel considers Iran a mortal threat in its back yard, especially since the development of better Iranian missiles and the advancement of Iran’s nuclear program to the point where a weapon could be feasible. Iran claims it is not building a weapon. Clinton said Iran’s leaders must know there are “real consequences� for not proving their nuclear activities are peaceful. “Our aim is not incremental sanctions, but sanctions that will bite,� Clinton told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

French pres. shakes up Cabinet after vote losses PARIS (AP) — President Nicolas Sarkozy dismissed his labor minister and reshuffled several other Cabinet posts Monday after leftists walloped his conservatives in France’s regional elections — a defeat that exposed his inability to convince the public on his economic reforms. Labor Minister Xavier Darcos lost his job after being soundly defeated in his election bid in the western Aquitaine region. Twenty of Sarkozy’s Cabinet members ran for regional posts, and all lost. Budget Minister Eric Woerth stepped in for Darcos, the presidency said.

HAITIAN RELIEF EFFORTS

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton toured Haiti’s rubble-filled capital Monday to raise aid and investment for a country still reeling from a devastating Jan. 12 earthquake. It is the first joint visit to the impoverished Caribbean nation for the two former leaders, who were tasked by President Barack Obama with leading the U.S. fundraising effort. After meeting with President Rene Preval on the grounds of the collapsed national palace, they walked through the tarps-and-tent city on the adjacent Champ de Mars, the national mall filled with 60,000 homeless quake survivors living in squalor. Both men, surrounded by Secret Service agents, Haitian police and U.N. peacekeepers, waded into the giant encampment to shake hands with earthquake survivors. Clinton said they hoped to get all the aid agencies working together to

GOODELL PLANS TO MEET WITH ROETHLISBERGER ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell plans to meet with Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger about the star’s off-field problems. Goodell already has spoken with team owners about Roethlisberger, who is accused of assaulting a 20-year-old college student in a Georgia nightclub on March 5. Roethlisberger’s attorney says the quarterback committed no crime. Roethlisberger has yet to be interviewed by police in Milledgeville, Ga., and charges have not been filed. “We take this issue very seriously,” Goodell said Monday at the NFL meetings. “I am concerned that Ben continues to put himself in this position. “I spoke with the Steelers and (team president) Art Rooney about it and, at some point, I will be meeting with Ben at the appropriate time.”

nba jordan taking patient approach in charlotte CHARLOTTE (AP) — Picture the NBA free agency period beginning and the first call LeBron James gets is a recruiting pitch from Michael Jordan. It’s one the perks for the Charlotte Bobcats now that the Hall of Famer owns the team. Only being a big player in free agency isn’t on Jordan’s agenda — or even possible. Unlike the New York Knicks, New Jersey Nets and Chicago Bulls, the Bobcats have no salary-cap space to participate in the summer free agency bonanza that could include James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Amare Stoudemire.

ncaa ECU HIRES LEBO TO COACH BASKETBALL TEAM GREENVILLE (AP) — East Carolina has turned to former Auburn coach Jeff Lebo to lead its long-struggling men’s basketball program. The school announced Monday it had hired Lebo to replace Mack McCarthy, who spent three seasons on the sideline for the Pirates before stepping down to take a fundraising job in the school’s athletics department. Lebo had spent the past six seasons at Auburn, going 96-93 overall and leading the Tigers to the NIT last season before he was fired earlier this month. The 43-year-old coach played at North Carolina under Dean Smith in the late 1980s and had coached at Tennessee Tech and Chattanooga previously. The school has scheduled a news conference for Lebo on Tuesday.

FAYETTEVILLE — This season, Trey Such is doing more than just leading the Methodist Monarchs in home runs, doubles and RBI. The former Lee County baseball star is also taking on a new role as a leader and mentor to the younger players. Such, who made the switch from first baseman to catcher at the beginning of the season, is accepting his new responsibility without any hesitation. “I’m a year older and am now the team’s catcher,” said Such. “So I do feel like I’m in more of a leadership role than

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — If there is a such a thing as an odd man out in Duke’s so-called big three, it has to be Nolan Smith. Jon Scheyer is the senior, an established name entering the season whose hot start made him a candidate for national player of the year. Kyle Singler was a step ahead of even Smith Scheyer to start the season, a versatile junior named preseason player of the year in the ACC. Then there’s Smith, quickly cast as the third member of the big three after an up-and-down sophomore season, a step behind the others in terms of national recognition. Sunday night, Smith caught the attention of fans from coast-to-coast, especially the West coast, playing a leading role in ending Cal’s season while leading Duke into the Sweet 16. “He has been probably the unsung hero, he and [Brian Zoubek], because you knew that Kyle and Jon coming in were going to be, and they have been, really good,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “And he can still get a lot better. “He can get a lot better, but he’s been playing great basketball for us all year.” Smith scored a gamehigh 20 points in the Blue Devils’ 68-53 victory over Cal and, just as important, didn’t allow his primary defensive assignment to come close to 20. Lightning-quick point guard Jerome Randle, a threat to drive all the way to the basket or pull up from 25 feet, managed just 12 points against Smith, a premier on-the-ball defender even if he’s not universally regarded as such. “Playing against a player like him, it’s kind of a statement game,” Smith said. “People don’t really have my name out there

SPORTS SCENE

Zeller’s injury could hurt UNC’s chances in NIT quarters BY BRIANA GORMAN bgorman@heraldsun.com CHAPEL HILL — The closing minutes of fourthseeded North Carolina’s game against No. 1 seed Mississippi State in the second round of the NIT on Saturday were terrible for sophomore Tyler Zeller. The forward spent the final 12 minutes of the contest in the training room getting five stitches in a cut above his left eye after getting hit while going up for a layup and was not allowed to go back into the arena because of a mild concussion. Instead, he watched the rest of the game on a television. But before he saw teammate Larry Drew II drive the length of the court for a layup with two seconds remaining to give UNC a 76-74 victory, Zeller knew the Tar Heels had won the game. “I could hear the crowd, and then five seconds later, I would hear what happened [on the TV],â€? Zeller said. “It was terrible, because I could already predict what was going to happen based on what the crowd was saying. ‌ I had a pretty good idea that something bad for Mississippi had happened, because they went quiet. It was the quietest it had been.â€? The Tar Heels’ win over the Bulldogs set up today’s quarterfinal matchup at No. 2 Alabama-Birmingham (9 p.m., ESPN), with a spot to the NIT final four in Madison Square Garden on the line.

Zeller, who was limited in practice Monday because of the concussion, said he thinks he will be able to play tonight as long he has no setbacks before the game. He said he had a headache Saturday but has had no other symptoms since then. “My head was pounding at first,â€? said Zeller, who sported a black eye Monday. “I was more frustrated that I missed the shot than anything.â€? Zeller’s presence could make a huge difference for the Tar Heels (18-16), not just because of his 7-0, 240pound frame but because he has been playing some of his best basketball of the season the past few games. In the ACC Tournament loss to Georgia Tech, Zeller had 17 points and 10 rebounds and had 13 points in the first-round NIT win over William & Mary. He was limited to 13 minutes in Saturday’s victory because of his injury but had seven points and seven rebounds. “Zeller’s a physical big man,â€? point guard Larry Drew II said. “He likes to get in there, stick his nose in there and sometimes you are the fly and sometimes you are the windshield. ‌He’s tough. He’s really tough.â€? Zeller — who missed 10 games with a stress fracture in his right foot— said he is not quite sure what has gotten into him the past few games but said he thinks he is getting back into the flow and getting his timing back after missing so much time. It also helps that the entire team is playing with a

Spartans prepare for life without Kalin Lucas DETROIT (AP) — Michigan State coach Tom Izzo is relieved his banged-up team has four days off before its next game in the NCAA tournament. Not that it will help Kalin Lucas. Izzo told The Associated Press on Monday morning that there’s a “90 percent chance� tests later in the day would confirm Lucas has a torn left Achilles’ tendon that would keep him off the court for about five months. “Even if it’s just a sprain, he wouldn’t play� Friday against Northern Iowa, Izzo said with a sigh. Lucas’ replacement, Korie Lucious, beat the buzzer with a 3-pointer that lifted the fifth-seeded Spartans to an 85-83 win over fourth-seeded Maryland on Sunday. Michigan State has advanced to the round of 16 for the ninth time in 13 seasons, a string of consistency topped in the NCAA tournament by only by Duke, and is two wins away from a nation-high sixth Final Four appearance since 1999. The Spartans will play ninthseeded Northern Iowa in the Midwest Regional semifinals on Friday night in St. Louis, facing the team that knocked top-seeded Kansas out of their path.

Continued from Page 1B

So far this season, Such is setting a good example for the Monarchs. Such currently leads the 15-7 Monarchs with six homers and 28 RBI. He is second on the team with 34 hits and in batting average with .405. The Monarchs are currently 5-3 in the USA South Conference. Such was also named USA South Player of the Week earlier this month when he hit .467 with six runs scored, five RBI, two doubles, a homer during a span in which he led the Monarchs to a 3-1 record during the week. “It’s been quite a year so far,� said Such. “Things are going pretty well. There are times when I don’t think that we’ve played as well as we can, but it’s still early. We still have plenty of time to fix it and turn things around.� Coming on strong recently for the Monarchs is another former Yellow Jacket, freshman Ryan Stack, a player that Such grew up with. Stack, who has played in 10 games as the team’s designated hitter, has gone 7-of-17 at the plate with five RBI, three runs and two doubles and recently pulled ahead of Such as the team’s leader in batting average at .412. “The bats that I’ve had, I feel pretty good about,� said Stack. “I haven’t had a chance to see the field that much, though. Such has been impressed with how quickly Stack is maturing as a collegiate baseball player. “Ryan’s come a long way this year and has done a great job,� said Such. “He stepped into our DH spot in our last few games and has done well.� Such has worked with Stack several times throughout the season with the two going over different kinds of game situations. Such has also stressed how different playing college baseball is compared to high school. “It’s a whole different

Purdue players and coaches cheer from the bench in the second half of an NCAA secondround college basketball game against Texas A&M in Spokane, Wash. Sunday.

Purdue scores just enough to reach Sweet 16 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Purdue isn’t the offensive juggernaut it was with Robbie Hummel. Yet here are the Boilermakers in the Sweet 16. Purdue struggled to make baskets in several games after Hummel went down with a torn ACL in his right knee late last month. The Boilermakers (29-5) increased their productivity in NCAA tournament wins over Siena and Texas A&M, and No. 4 seed Purdue has advanced to play No. 1 seed Duke (31-5) on Friday night in Houston. “When Rob went down, we had to adjust,� Purdue coach Matt Painter said. “We had level playing college baseball,� said Stack. “There’s a lot of different things that you have to learn and Trey has helped me get a better understanding at what has to be done for me to be successful.� One item, for example, that Such has stressed to his former Lee County teammate is the difference of quality in pitching. “College pitching is much different than high school pitching,� said Such. “The first pitch is probably going to be away. At first, you could tell he really wanted to pull the ball. I’ve given him a little advice here and there like how and when to hit with two strikes. He’s really done a great job.� When Such was a truefreshman, he broke his leg and dislocated his ankle while sliding into second in his first career game back in 2008 and was forced to miss the remainder of the season. He was granted a medical hardship, which gave him an extra season of eligibility. Last season, Such finished his first season back from injury playing in 39 games with 38 starts at first. He hit .372 with 39 RBI. He was named USA South Rookie of the Year and

some growing pains with that, but I think we have.� JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore have done what was expected of them in the NCAA tournament, but other offense has finally emerged. Chris Kramer, known as a defensive stopper, is averaging 13.5 points and made the game-winning layup in overtime against Texas A&M. Keaton Grant, a senior, scored 11 points in the first-round win over Siena. D.J. Byrd, a seldomused freshman guard, scored 10 points in the 63-61 overtime win over Texas A&M. “This is what we’re going to have to have for

us to continue to win basketball games,� Painter said. “Chris Kramer and Keaton Grant both scored in the Siena game, and we win the game. Chris Kramer steps up and scores tonight (against Texas A&M), we’re able to win the game. We need those next guys to score — the third, fourth guys to score.� This time they’ll have to do it against Duke’s trademark man-to-man defense, which helped carry the Blue Devils past California and the Golden Bears’ high-scoring trio of Jerome Randle, Patrick Christopher and Theo Robertson on Sunday.

earned first team All-USA South honors. “The leg’s doing great,� said Such. “It’s holding up much better than I ever could have hoped for. I’ve made the move to catcher and I feel no pain whatsoever.� Now completely

healthy, Such’s intense play this season is rubbing off on players like Stack and the rest of the Monarchs. “He’s not just a leader to me, but to the entire team,� said Stack. “We’ve grown up together and it’s good to be playing with him again.�

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia coach Bob Huggins has seen his team overcome double-digit deficits, struggle against overmatched opponents and pull out victories after relinquishing big leads. The wins have come in many varieties for the Mountaineers, and one more on Thursday night against Washington (26-9) in the East Regional semifinals in Syracuse, N.Y,. would give West Virginia (29-6) a school record 30th.

Samhan dominates opponents, wins over fans

MORAGA, Calif. (AP) — Omar Samhan walked into freshman orientation at Saint Mary’s in 2005 as an overweight teenager who was unwanted by almost every other school and boldly proclaimed that he would play in the NBA one day. Samhan says everyone else in the room laughed. Samhan got a similar reaction earlier this month when he predicted his Gaels would win the national championship. After leading the tournament in scoring and one-liners the first weekend to help Saint Mary’s make it to the regional semifinal for the first time in more than 50 years, it might be time to stop doubt-

Basketball success helping K-State over crisis

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — The embarrassing financial scandals that rocked Kansas State last year seem to be fading into distant memory with every 3-pointer that Jacob Pullen drills home. For the once-reeling Wildcats, reaching the NCAA tournament’s round of 16 this weekend could translate into a lot more than renewed school spirit. It could prompt fans to reopen their checkbooks. Donations dropped last year when fans learned of a so-called secret agreement to pay football coach Ron Prince $3.2 million above the $1.2 million he was already due after being fired with a losing record.

Well, that’s been a problem for Tennessee. The Vols have never advanced past the round of 16. Tennessee is in the round of 16 for the sixth time in school history and for the third time in Bruce Pearl’s five seasons.

Impossible to sit, stand, walk... It was all I could do to get in my car to get to the doctor’s office. During my first exam, my range of motion was VERY limited! It was almost impossible to sit, stand, walk or even breathe! After examining my x-rays, we started treatment. After a mild adjustment on my neck, by that afternoon, I could see improvement. The next few days, my pain decreased drastically! As each visit passed, my pain was less and less. I truly believe in chiropractic care and would recommend it to anyone suffering from back pain as I did. Thanks Dr. Ammons & Dr. Silvester!

In a game like this, to play against a top scorer like that, I feel like I did a great job — with the help of my big guys. “It’s definitely a personal matchup. All year long, the coaches have taught, ‘Win your matchup.’ That was my matchup. If I win my matchup and Jon and Kyle win their matchups, we have a great chance to win.� Smith won his in a landslide, dominating on both sides of the floor. Smith scored 11 of Duke’s first 26

points, getting to the rim the way Randle had hoped he’d be able. It’s yet another sign of growth for Smith, who struggled offensively in the first half of several midseason games as he concentrated on his defensive assignment at the expense of his scoring. “I looked to attack early,� Smith said. “The coaches told me before the game that they were going to put me in positions to attack, and I did that. “I attacked the hole with aggression.� With Duke trailing for a total of 18 seconds in its first two NCAA Tournament games, the Blue Devils didn’t need Smith to assert himself on offense down

the stretch. That could well change in Houston, starting with the top-seeded Blue Devils’ matchup with No. 4 seed Purdue in the South Regional semifinals Friday (9:57 p.m., WRAL). Smith still might sneak up on opposing fans, but it’s safe to say at this point that the opposition won’t be caught off-guard. “Nolan, especially at the end of a clock, is our go-to guy,� Krzyzewski said. “He’s been our on-the-ball defender the whole year. So he’s scoring and defending on the ball. “That’s a great combination. You have to be a very, very good player to be able to do that.�

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Inquisitive school secretary is playing by the rules

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Family matters may take away from your plans and progress. Your concern and dedication to a cause will not go unnoticed. You may feel as if you are giving and not getting but, in the end, you will be rewarded handsomely. Don’t let anyone stand between you and what matters to you. Your bravery and ability to act fast will lead to victory. Your numbers are 2, 10, 19, 26, 29, 37, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Emotional frustration will make it difficult for you to concentrate. Think about what you want to see happen and be concise in your presentation. Your willingness to work hard and take action will impress. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t give anyone a chance to challenge you or complain. Do what needs to be done without being asked and you will avoid a disgruntled individual looking for a fight. The more compromising and agreeable you are, the better your chance of getting what you want. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let your personal interests and emotions interfere when dealing with investments. Be shrewd if you want to get ahead economically. Your main concerns should be your health, welfare and getting what you want for your money. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have to talk to the one you love. Voice your complaints instead of letting your hostility grow. Don’t let your personal feelings influence a professional decision. Focus on what you can do and be willing to try something new. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A romantic encounter will leave you uncertain about your current status. Share your emotions and focus on the here and now. Happiness is dependent on doing what works best for everyone involved. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be cautious about

WORD JUMBLE

being too demanding or pushy with the older and younger people you interact with. Help whoever you deal with accomplish and give praise when deserved. Offer patience and a positive response. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll pay for your mistakes if you aren’t upfront with your personal or professional partners. Now is not the time to hold back or be secretive. Someone you meet will share your opinions and intrigue you intellectually. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Get involved in challenging activities that bring you in contact with people you find motivating and inspiring. A positive change is heading your way. Prepare to make a lifestyle change. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You may as well relax and enjoy yourself. Projects started now will be hard to get off the ground and will lead nowhere. Spend time with the ones you love and your time won’t be wasted. Don’t let unexpected change lead to overspending, overreacting or overindulging. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Your emotions will be up and down and hard to control. You’ll be inclined to stretch the truth or put blame on other people. Make some changes at home, but be sure you aren’t going to create problems for the people you live with. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): You can make a difference if you’re willing to do something nice for someone in need. A job opportunity is apparent if you are willing to put in the time and work required to establish your talents and the service you can offer. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Spend some time with family and close friends. A physical activity will help you realize what you can do in the future to stay fit and relieve stress. Uncertainty regarding a relationship will cause emotional upset if you don’t face it head on.

DEAR ABBY: I am a high school secretary, and I’m writing about your reply to “Sick of It in Iowa” (Jan. 28), who is upset at the school secretaries for questioning or commenting on her frequent absences. You were right that her medical history is of no concern to the secretary, but her attendance record is very much the business of the secretary. The principal makes the decision regarding when a student is required to bring a doctor’s note with every absence. This procedure is called Persistent Absence, and it means someone has been out of school at least 25 days that school year, or has developed a pattern with his or her absences. School rules are governed by the state. You would be surprised how many parents receive citations and must go to court because of their student’s poor attendance. When a student has a chronic illness, backed by a physician’s statement, the school will bend over backward to work with them, ensuring they receive the best possible education available. It’s not that I don’t empathize with that young lady, but part of an education is teaching students that in the real world, they have a responsibility to maintain a good attendance record that will precede them into college, the work force and life itself. — DIANE S., SPRING CITY, PA. DEAR DIANE S.: Thank you for straightening me out. It appears from the mail I have received from

Abigail Van Buren Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

educators and school administrative staff that my answer left something to be desired. Mea culpa. For the benefit of parents and students who may not be aware, I’ll share a few more. Read on: DEAR ABBY: For your information, many times school secretaries are charged with the unpleasant task of having to contact the truant officer, children’s services and others in law enforcement if a child doesn’t come to school and can’t provide a valid doctor’s excuse. The principal and superintendent do these jobs, but it is up to US to track these kids and make sure they attend school as they are supposed to do. — BOTHERED IN MUNCIE, IND. DEAR ABBY: I’m a school secretary. We are required by law to ask for a doctor’s note when a student has accumulated more than five absences due to illness. When a

student arrives at school more than 30 minutes late, or leaves more than 30 minutes early (three or more times), that student is considered truant. With today’s economic mess we need to know why a student is not in school. In California, schools lose more than $30 a day when a student is not in his or her seat, and that money adds up. So, yes, Abby, it IS “our business” to know a student’s medical history. — VICTORIA IN CALIFORNIA DEAR ABBY: “Sick of It” and her mother should speak to the school social worker. She may qualify for services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, including an individualized education plan that could cover services such as inhome schooling, extended time on assignments and the ability to leave school with little or no warning. This is called a 504 Plan. — KATHRYN IN NEWARK, DEL. DEAR ABBY: The girl with frequent illness said she plays the clarinet. Has anyone suggested to her that her clarinet could be the culprit? As a band director for more than 30 years, one of the first lessons I go over with beginning or continuing students is to throw away reeds that were used prior to any illness and clean the mouthpiece thoroughly. — SARAH JANE IN SEVERNA PARK, MD.

Colorado skunk’s head freed from peanut butter jar

Burglar enters NJ restaurant, cooks chicken, flees

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) — It was a sticky — and potentially stinky — rescue for a Colorado wildlife officer who pried a peanut butter jar off a skunk’s head Saturday in Grand Junction. The officer got a call that the animal was disoriented in someone’s front yard, its head stuck in a jar of peanut butter. State Wildlife spokesman Randy Hampton says the officer freed the skunk by tying a noose pole to the jar and pulling. The device is also called a choke stick and is a common tool used by animal control officers. The skunk was freed without injury after about 10 minutes of pulling and then ran away — without spraying anyone.

HILLSDALE, N.J. (AP) — Police in a New Jersey town say someone broke into a restaurant and cooked a chicken and rice dish before fleeing - leaving behind a pile of dirty dishes. They say the hungry burglar on Saturday broke through an exhaust fan in the back wall of the Matsu Sushi Grill in Hillsdale, a town of 10,000 residents just northwest of New York City. The burglar got chicken from a freezer and cooked it with rice in a frying pan. Detective Robert Francaviglia says the burglar ignored $200 in the cash register and took only the chicken and rice. He says the culprit may have been a homeless person searching for food.

Alaska teens’ pizza heist brings out SWAT team

Mich. fugitive found in Pa. bar in hospital gown

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Police say a plot to steal a delivery man’s pizza brought out a SWAT team in Alaska. Police spokesman Lt. Dave Parker says a man trying to deliver a pizza order Sunday night was confronted outside a northeast Anchorage home by a man with a gun and a stick. He says three other people attacked him from behind, grabbed the pizza but ran away without taking his money. Police say the delivery man then followed one of the attackers, a girl, to a home where police arrested her. They say the other suspects then barricaded themselves in the home, prompting authorities to call in a SWAT team that entered the property.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A fugitive wanted for bank robbery in Michigan is in custody after police say he walked out of a Pittsburgh hospital and into a bar wearing only his hospital gown, with an intravenous needle still his arm. Authorities say police were called to JR’s Bar Friday night after 20-year-old Elbert Lewis Thompson II walked in from Allegheny General Hospital. Thompson was taken into custody a short time later. Police in Vandergrift say Thompson had been detained by officers after fleeing a traffic stop there, about 25 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. He was initially hospitalized after complaining of feeling sick and losing consciousness.

Other single parents can help you deal Q: My wife walked out on me a few months ago and left me with our three young children. How can I be a good father to them when it’s all I can do to keep my head above water? -- M.H. A: My heart goes out to you; single parenting is one of the hardest jobs imaginable. This is increasingly common today, however -and one reason I wanted to print your letter is to make all of us more sensitive to the plight of single parents (both mothers and fathers). God knows your situation -- and I want to assure you that He cares about you and your children far more than you can imagine. He wants to give you wisdom to deal with your challenges, and He also wants to encourage and help you be the best parent you can be to your children. That’s why I encourage you to commit your life and your family to Jesus Christ, and to turn to Him each day for wisdom. Remember, God gave your children to you and He loves them. The Bible says, “Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him” (Psalm 127:3). What can you do to ease your load? First, seek out practical help, both for your children’s care and your daily household tasks. (Other single parents may be able to advise you about this.) Second, don’t let your frustration boil over into verbal abuse or bursts of temper, but let your children know you love them -- openly and often. In addition, don’t get involved in unwise relationships because of your yearning for help or comfort; this will only hurt you.
