LAPTOPS GREET STUDENTS Deep River students first in district to get 1:1 laptops this school year By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — As the fifth grade class at Deep River Elementary School packed into the gym Wednesday morning, it wasn’t an ordinary first day of school. The students became the first group of the 2010-2011 school year to receive laptops as part of the 1:1 program expansion. Deep River Elementary students in third-fifth grades each received a laptop, beginning with the fifth graders. They walked onstage one by one as Superintendent of Lee County Schools Jeff Moss handed them their new computers, each zipped securely in a gray backpack. “(The faculty) has worked hard, probably harder than any other summer,” Moss

dy asked the students if they were excited about receiving their laptops, they answered with a resounding “Yes!” They gave a similar response when

Lundy asked if the laptops made them feel smarter. “It’ll help us learn more and help us pass the EOGs,” fifth-grader Faith Coggins said. “It’ll give students a chance to do better in school.” Southern Lee High School students will also be receiving laptops in October, and third-fifth graders at B.T. Bullock Elementary could be receiving theirs as early as next week. “We try to do it in waves to make sure we’re not replicating any mistakes,” said Cindy Johnson, chief technology officer for Lee County Schools. Johnson and Andy Bryan, associate superintendent for curriculum and instruction, will visit the school periodi-

SANFORD — The Lee County Education Foundation will announce a new incentive-based education initiative today at a press conference at Deep River Elementary School. The new incentive model is the first of its kind in North Carolina, and if it succeeds, it could expand nationwide. The press conference introducing the Head of the Class Project will feature a panel including Gov. Bev Perdue, former U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley, former Govs. Jim Holshouser and Jim Hunt, State Superintendent of Public Instruction June Atkinson, Chairman of the State Board of Education Bill Harrison, Chariman of the Lee County Education Foundation Kirk Bradley and Superintendent of Lee County Schools Jeff Moss. The Head of the Class Project is the Lee County Education Foundation’s flagship public-private partnership and will award $50,000 annually to the faculty and staff at the Lee County elementary school with the highest performance. The project is a non-profit initiative funded by a $1 million endowment from individual donors and corporations. Elementary schools were chosen as the focus of the project because kindergarten-fifth grade have the closest studentteacher alignment. The name of the award will

This day in history: On Aug. 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing American women the right to vote, was certified in effect by Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby. In 55 B.C., Roman forces under Julius Caesar invaded Britain, but achieved limited success. In 1883, the island volcano Krakatoa began cataclysmic eruptions, leading to a massive explosion the following day. In 1910, Thomas Edison demonstrated for reporters an improved version of his Kinetophone, a device for showing a movie with synchronized sound. In 1958, Alaskans went to the polls to overwhelmingly vote in favor of statehood. In 1961, the original Hockey Hall of Fame was opened in Toronto. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson was nominated for a term of office in his own right at the Democratic national convention in Atlantic City, N.J. In 1968, the Democratic national convention opened in Chicago. In 1972, the summer Olympics games opened in Munich, West Germany. In 1978, Cardinal Albino Luciani of Venice was elected pope following the death of Paul VI. The new pontiff took the name Pope John Paul I. (However, he died just over a month later.)

Pastor faces deportation 16 years after burglary

SANFORD — Recently, 18 women gathered at the Lee County Enrichment Center in Sanford for the organizational meeting of their new club, the Republican Women of Lee County. The club members named the club, passed by-laws and elected officers Liz La Fuze, president; Linda Goldston, vice-president; Mary Washington, treasurer and Betty Spence, secretary. “While I have been a registered Republican for many years, I have never been politically active,” said La Fuze. “However, I have never before witnessed a federal government so out of touch with the American people. There is no regard for our Constitutional liberties and freedoms.” La Fuze said “ill-conceived policies,” continued high unemployment, the national debt, outof-control spending and the health care bill are what worries her and the group most. “We have a state government that relies on federal bailouts, temporary tax hikes and other gimmicks to pay its bills,” she said. “For those reasons, I felt compelled to form a Republican Women’s Club that would work very hard to take our country and state back starting this November. Sitting back and doing nothing was not an option.” The next Republican Women of Lee County meeting is set for 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 2 at the Enrichment Center. Guests must be a registered Republican to join. To learn more, e-mail leegopwomen@gmail. com.

PITTSBORO (MCT) — A local pastor faces deportation though he’s been a legal permanent resident for most of his life. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Hector Villanueva, 40, last week in Chatham County. He was jailed in Wake and then Alamance County before being transported to Gainesville, Ga., where he’ll face an immigration judge. His wife Martha Villanueva said a lawyer put her husband on alert several months ago that a “commercial burglary” conviction in the mid1990s might put his green card in jeopardy. “He was trying to cash a check that apparently was not his,” she said. “This was before he became a Christian and turned his life around. ... He’s not the same man he used to be.” The Villanuevas spent most of their lives in California, coming to North Carolina four years ago. With support from their home church out west, they planned to start a Spanish-speaking congregation here. They struggled to attract worshippers in the first two years in Siler City, and Villanueva started Prestige Home Repairs and Painting to pay the bills and support their four children. They also care for two foster daughters whom they hope to adopt. In the spring of 2009, Villanueva took over as pastor of La Iglesia Bautista La Roca in Raleigh. He led that church for a year before starting another church of the same name in Siler City this summer. His wife said there are about 30 church

— from staff reports

members now. Martha Villanueva said she’s caring for the children with support from family, friends and churches in Pittsboro and Siler City and by collecting debts owed to her husband’s contracting business. She couldn’t explain why federal immigration agents arrested her husband 16 years after his burglary conviction. “I really don’t understand the law,” she said.

All 17 schools operate on a tradition (non yearround) schedule, and the district reported 87 buses, three fewer than last year. The district reported a total of 7,604 students in grades kindergarten through 12th, 88 more than on the first day last year. “We attribute some of that to the change in the kindergarten age requirement that went into effect last year and gave everyone across the state fewer kindergarteners than is typical,” said school spokesperson Beth McCullough. “We anticipate our student numbers to increase overall the next few days.” —from staff reports

UNC should not have altered insurance plan The Durham Herald-Sun

hen the UNC Board of Governors voted to create a separate insurance plan for students who oppose abortion, it was in the best traditions of the pro-choice movement, maintaining access to abortion while respecting the views of those who cannot condone it. Still, they should not have done it. The impetus for the change was a complaint from the N.C. State University chapter of Students for Life of America. Since the university system now requires students to carry health insurance — although it does

not require them to enroll in the university plan — anti-choice students argued that their premiums would help to pay for other students’ elective abortions. This is splitting pretty fine hairs. While it may trouble students to pay into a pooled fund that includes payout for abortions, the point is more rhetorical than practical: In 2009, women between 18 and 21 had 7,359 abortions in North Carolina. That’s not for the 99,353 undergraduate women who attend UNC System schools — that’s the entire state. Statewide, there was one abortion for every 151 women in 2009. Although UNC doesn’t track the number of abortion claims

forwarded to its health insurance carrier, we suspect that they are less than a drop in the bucket. But that’s not really the point, either: “Abortion is not health care, neither for the preborn child or his mother,” said Kristan Hawkins, the executive director of the nonprofit anti-choice group Students for Life. “Abortion should be removed from the UNC System completely.” We could have taken Hawkins’ statement as read: Not only does Students for Life oppose insurance coverage for abortion, the group opposes access to abortion, period. Not just for college students — for everyone.

And that, more than anything, illustrates the problem. No matter how many compromises are struck, it will never be enough for anti-choice activists. Although the underlying questions have never changed, the United States has shifted from the post-Roe v. Wade certainty that women are the sovereign arbiters of their own bodies — including their reproductive systems — to endless, nickle-and-dime quibbling that has done nothing to satisfy abortion opponents, but has done a great deal to keep women from their legal right to abortion. We respect the passionate feelings that this argument inspires.

We know that there are good people on both sides of the issue. We know that there are people in the middle, who oppose abortion but support choice, who work at crisis pregnancy centers to help women find alternatives to abortion. We know pro-life advocates who work to end the demand for abortions while acknowledging that that access to abortion should be protected by law. Those people are why it is tempting to concede things like pooled health care premiums where there is no discernible, negative impact on students who seek abortions. But the UNC Board of Governors should not have done it.

Letters to the Editor Too many people are abusing welfare system To the Editor:

Scott Mooneyham Today in North Carolina Scott Mooneyham is a columnist with Capitol Press Association

Who is to blame?

ALEIGH — Many of those insured by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina have probably been doing some fist-shaking lately. The state’s biggest provider of individual health insurance just announced that it will seek a rate hike of about 7 percent. That increase, the lowest in several years, wouldn’t seem so bad but for a couple of factors — the down economy means that it will far outstrip inflation; some Blue Cross customers will see increases well in excess of the average hike, up to 30 percent or more. So, it would hardly come as a surprise if a few fists have been shaken in the general direction of the insurer and its high-paid executives. Depending upon their political proclivities, some customers may have also tossed some choice comments Barack Obama’s way, blaming the president’s health care reform plan for the price increase. (Never mind that rates rose even faster before health care reform legislation was passed. Last year’s increases averaged 11 percent.) Others may have cursed Congress for its inability to pass a health care plan that included a public option to compete with private insurers. Blue Cross was happy to invoke health care reform as one cause of the rate hikes, saying volatility in rates would continue as more provisions of the law take effect over the next four years. Interestingly enough, back in March, new Blue Cross CEO Brad Wilson called the plan “a step in the right direction.” Those comments came after Blue Cross and other insurers lobbied to successfully kill the public option. ... Wilson is correct when he says “the only way to make premiums affordable over the long term is to get soaring medical costs under control.” If Blue Cross deserves any blame for those soaring medical costs, then so do we all. As seen last year and earlier this year during the debate over health care reform, no one — not insurers, consumers, doctors, hospitals, big business, politicians, Republicans, Democrats, tea partiers or liberal activists — are really interested addressing the real problem. The real problem is that we, as a society, are spending more on health care than we can afford. Because government is such a big provider of health care, medical spending is driving deficits at the federal level. It’s driving tax hikes and the erosion of spending on education at the state level. It’s causing tuition hikes, bigger class sizes and early prison releases. It’s affecting crime rates and academic achievement gaps. And everyday, the increases in medical costs become more unsustainable. But when “rationing” is a dirty word, and people like Wilson and Obama can’t say it because we won’t let them, you can’t have a real debate. And when a crowd — maybe two-thirds of them receiving health care through a government-created program — cheers on some charlatan yelling, “Hey government, hands off my health care,” you can’t have a real debate.

Today’s Prayer

We, the honest and moral citizens of North Carolina, need to do something now. If you are like me, a regular person, who has always paid his or her bills and taken care of their own problems, you are probably sick and tired of all the welfare and Medicaid fraud. To my knowledge, welfare was started to help the widows of war who had children to raise and had no source of income once their husbands were killed. Welfare was for people who truly needed it and could not have survived without it. Fast forward to today: Unwed mothers with multiple children receive all kinds of assistance even if they are living with the children’s father(s) or someone else who provides money to the household. EBT cards are everywhere — fast food places, convenience stores, pizza parlors. People who are extremely overweight and who smoke cigarettes and do drugs can receive welfare assistance. You do not even have to be a citizen of the United States to receive medical assistance as the feeling is that it is better to give medical aid to everyone as opposed to running the risk of spreading disease. A nurse at the health department told me this when I was there for a TB test for my job, and it appeared to me that I was one of the few legal citizens in the waiting room. It seems as if our government is rewarding people for being immoral, lazy and irresponsible. Have you ever been in the grocery line and the people in front of you separate their items into what EBT will pay for and what it will not (cigarettes and beer)? Can you not afford to go to the dentist because of the expense? Do you know people who you feel are milking the system at our expense? I sometimes feel that I might be better off financially if I lived off the system as they do, but I have always done what is necessary to get by on my own. Our system of welfare has become a lifestyle of immorality and irresponsibility and must be stopped. To report Medicaid fraud/waste we can call DHHS Div. of Medical Assistance at (877) 362-8471. Also, the United Council on Welfare Fraud can be reached by email: david.locklear@ncmail.net, tel: (910)733-7831, or U.S. mail at David Locklear, Policy Coordinator, Econ. Svcs. Section, NC Div. of Social Svcs, 2420 Mail Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-2420. I urge everyone to report people who are cheating the system. It is my understanding that you may remain anonymous to do so. It is clear that the investigators who are paid by the State to find welfare fraud are not able to find all of it. This matter has really bothered me lately and if anyone can think of what we little people can do to stop all this waste and madness, please email me at kashader@ gmail.com.

Bryant said the free screening can go a long way to notifying people of cholesterol problems so they can head off a possible heart attack or stroke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important for people out there who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that they have high cholesterol,â&#x20AC;? she said.

In its eighth year, the expo featured dozens of informational booths, giveaways, raffle drawings, healthy cooking classes, chiropractic massages, manicures and even the salon treatment from local stylists. The event was organized by the Enrichment Center of Lee County. One of those participating was Joyce Hawkins, coordinator of a

Hawkins and a team of experts were on hand to promote healthy lifestyles and sign up local veterans for vital medical assessments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We bring our services to the veterans as opposed to having them come to us,â&#x20AC;? Hawkins said. Meanwhile, Mary Jo Orlowski pitched the benefits of Sanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stevens Center, a nonprofit specializing in outreach for people with disabilities. Orlowski said the center provides a variety of services, including providing educational seminars, assisting with disabled-friendly job hunting and offering respite for primary caregivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what you can do for people who are disabled,â&#x20AC;? she said. Womack said no official head count was ready yet for Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expo, although she estimated at least 3,000 passed through, making it likely the busiest year yet for the Boomer event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It went over my expectations,â&#x20AC;?

STATE BRIEFS

Ross named new UNC chief By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — Davidson College President Tom Ross is poised to become the University of North Carolina system’s next president. A university official familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the UNC governing board’s search committee is recommending Ross to succeed Erskine Bowles as head of the 17-school system. The official requested anonymity to avoid preempting the announcement of a formal vote by the full board Thursday. Ross is expected to be approved by the Board of Governors because he’s the only candidate being offered, board members are well aware of him and

the 32-member panel generally reaches consensus on presidential picks, the official said. UNC system spokeswoman Joni Worthington said she couldn’t comment on any speculation regarding candidates before Thursday’s emergency board meeting. A Davidson spokeswoman didn’t immediately provide a comment from Ross about the system presidency. Bowles, once President Clinton’s chief of staff and a former U.S. Senate candidate, announced his impending retirement in February after four years at the job. Ross, 60, became president just three years ago at his alma mater, a prestigious liberal arts school north of Charlotte that could be considered a destination job to

wrap up a career. His two children also attended Davidson. But Ross, a Greensboro native, has a distinguished public service and government career that, when combined with his connections to Democratic politics and UNC, makes him suited for the job leading campuses with about 200,000 students combined. He got his law degree at UNC-Chapel Hill, taught at the School of Government and served on a special commission recently to examine the UNC system’s long-term future. Then-Gov. Jim Hunt, a Democrat, appointed Ross in 1984 to a Superior Court judgeship, marking him as the state’s youngest judge at the time. He served as a judge for 17 years, during

which he led a commission that reformed the state’s sentencing system so that parole would be abolished and criminals would serve nearly all of their actual sentences. Ross also served briefly as chief of staff to then-U.S. Rep. Robin Britt, D-N.C. As director of the Administrative Office of the Courts from 1999 to 2000, Ross had to work with the Legislature to try to get more funds for the judicial system’s budget. It’s an effort he’d have to continue for a system that’s been hit by large budget cuts the past two years, leading campuses to pass along supplemental tuition increases of up to $750 to help close an extra $70 million in spending cuts lawmakers directed them to make.

Woman’s body left in hearse 9 days Board of Funeral Service, declined to comment on the specifics of the case. If the board decides to discipline Lawson, punishments range from a warning to the loss of his license. “We certainly don’t see this very often,” Harris said. Police in Graham are still investigating, and haven’t decided yet whether charges will be filed, said Capt. Steve McGilvray. Walton’s body was cremated after it was taken from the hearse, he said. She lived alone in an apartment in Carrboro, about 25 miles east of Graham, according to Capt.

J.G. Booker of the Carrboro Police Department. Police in that town found her body in her home Aug. 11, after she had been dead about a week. An investigation concluded she had a history of health problems and had died of natural causes, and Carrboro police contacted Lawson Mortuary. It’s one of several funeral services the police regularly use to transport bodies, although that’s changed since Walton’s body was found. “We’ve put the word out that they would not be a service we’ll be using in Carrboro in the future,” Booker said.

Neither Carrboro police nor the funeral home could immediately find any next of kin for Walton, leaving the mortuary with custody of the body. That’s becoming a familiar situation across the state and the country, partly thanks to an economic climate that makes the thousands of dollars necessary for even a simple burial out of reach for some families. “Since the beginning of the recession two or three years ago, that’s been an increasing problem,” said Jessica Koth, spokeswoman for the National Funeral Directors Association.

HELP YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND ADAPT, ADJUST These days it seems people are closer to their dogs than ever before. Always known as man’s best friend, dogs have become increasingly beloved and pampered members of the family over the years. Here are a few ideas to help the settling in of your new pet: * Minimize stress: While it might be hard to imagine a dog suffering from stress, it’s actually common, especially for newly adopted shelter dogs. To keep stress at a minimum, avoid adopting dogs around hectic times of the year, such as the holidays, and try to welcome a dog into your home when all is quiet and you won’t be expecting many visitors. A dog needs time to settle into his new home, and too much activity will be confusing and make it more difficult for him to adapt. Another way to minimize stress is to keep things as normal as possible for the dog. This includes maintaining the same diet from the shelter or pet store to avoid diarrhea and keeping the dog on a similar exercise schedule. Once the dog has adapted, you can then gradually begin to wean the dog onto a different schedule. * Provide structure: Your new dog will need structure from the moment he gets home. If you’ve adopted a dog that’s been living in a shelter for an extended period of time, providing structure and establishing yourself as the leader might be more difficult than with a new puppy. However, make commands such as “Sit” and “Wait” a regular part of your interaction with your dog. For example, make the dog sit before putting his leash on and leaving the house each morning. The earlier you provide this structure, and the more effective it is, the easier it will be for your dog to adapt to his new home. * Don’t be afraid to crate the dog: While it can seem like a prison to humans, many dogs actually don’t mind a crate. It can create a feeling of security and help limit their stress because it takes away decision making that can stress a dog out. Many dogs feel comfortable in the crate when there are no people home, so consider crating the dog when you’re at work. It will also offer you peace of mind that the dog is not chewing up furniture or soiling in the house. * Routine, routine, routine: Routine helps a dog know what to expect. This is especially valuable to shelter dogs that might have anxiety issues. Uncertainty only increases a dog’s anxiety. However, a solid routine, including a daily walk first thing in the morning, an established playtime schedule and a strict mealtime and snacking schedule will help a dog establish a routine and feel more comfortable in his new environment.

KANNAPOLIS (AP) — A research center in North Carolina will study why firefighters are more likely than the general population to develop some types of cancer and are at a higher risk for coronary heart disease. The Salisbury Post reported that Duke University’s Murdock Study at the N.C. Research Campus in Kannapolis will enroll 45 local firefighters in the study this week. Scott Linebarger of the Kannapolis Fire Department says he became concerned in 2006 when the University of Cincinnati found an increased risk of 10 cancers for firefighters. Another study determined that heart attack is the leading cause of death for firefighters. Linebarger wants to know what he can do to lower the risk.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A foul smell in a small North Carolina town led police to a woman’s body they say had been in the back of a hearse for nine days. Police in Graham, about 60 miles west of Raleigh, are investigating how the body of 37-yearold Linda Walton was left unattended for so long. The hearse is owned by David B. Lawson Mortuary, which now faces an investigation by the state agency that grants funeral licenses. Lawson declined to comment on the case Wednesday. Paul Harris, executive director of the state

RALEIGH (AP) — Employees at North Carolina’s tax headquarters in downtown Raleigh returned to work Wednesday after being evacuated when a suspicious package was found on the street in front of the building. State Capitol Police spokeswoman Patty McQuillan said the police received a call Wednesday morning about the package left outside the Revenue Department building. McQuillan said the package wasn’t an explosive. It turned out to be copper wiring, nuts and bolts wrapped in a towel, which was then wrapped by black electrical tape. The Raleigh police bomb squad helped investigate. Workers waited outside for an hour before getting the all clear to return. Police also blocked the road outside the building for a while.

Filing begins for vacated appeals court seat RALEIGH (AP) — Attorneys who want to run for the North Carolina Court of Appeals seat vacated this month by newly appointed federal Judge Jim Wynn have a week to sign up for the November ballot. The State Board of Elections opened the candidate filing period Wednesday morning for the appeals court job and will close it next Tuesday afternoon.

At least two candidates previously said they plan to run. One of them is Cressie Thigpen. She was appointed this week to fill Wynn’s seat through the end of the year by Gov. Beverly Perdue. Voters would rank candidates by preference if more than three people seek the job through a process called instant runoff voting. It would be the first time instant runoff voting has been used statewide.

Report: State could save on inmate health care RALEIGH (AP) — A new report says North Carolina can save millions a year if hospitals billed Medicaid for treatment of prisoners. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Wednesday a state audit found the state could save the Department of Correction an estimated $11.5 million a year by billing Medicaid, a government health care program. North Carolina paid about $159 million for inmate health care over the past two years. The report says more than $26 million went to treatment of inmates eligible for Medicaid. The report says the Department of Correction could have saved about $23 million over two years if it had billed Medicaid. An audit earlier this year found North Carolina’s prison system pays five times more for inmate health care than Medicaid and Medicare rates.

State’s oldest mental hospital to close at year’s end RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s first mental health hospital is transferring its patients and staff to other hospitals as it prepares to close at the end of the year. Multiple media outlets reported Wednesday that the Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh will transfer all of its patients by the end of the year. The patients will be moved to hospitals in Butner and Goldsboro. Some of the staff will stay at Dorothea Dix to run a unit for patients in the criminal justice system, but most of the more than 800 staff members will transfer to the other hospitals. The General Assembly did not budget money to operate the hospital during fiscal year 2010-11. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Lanier Cansler told reporters Tuesday that the state had to cut $28 million.

MOSQUE DEBATE IN NEW YORK CITY

Mosque developer claims NYC background

NEW YORK (AP) — Eight years ago, Sharif El-Gamal was just another ambitious striver from Brooklyn, casting about for career leads and dreaming of a grander future in real estate. A handful of modest deals later, he’s sitting on one of the most politically charged projects in recent city history: a plan to build a 13-story Islamic cultural center, health club and mosque 300 yards from the World Trade Center memorial. At age 37, El-Gamal now finds himself being castigated daily on network television as everything from an insensitive agitator to an Islamic supremacist. The whirlwind has, by all appearances, caught him by surprise. El-Gamal referred interview requests for this article to his publicist, who said he needed more time to gather information. In the few interviews he has done, he has insisted that when he set out to buy a building for the YMCAstyle center four years ago, he never gave a thought to its proximity to ground zero.

Sharif el-Gamal, right, developer of the planned Cordoba House and mosque in lower Manhattan, looks on as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg speaks during a dinner in observance of Iftar at Gracie Mansion in New York. Even after criticism of the project moved from the right-wing blogosphere to mainstream newspapers and television, he appeared to take the hostility lightly. Sounding more like Donald Trump than an Islamic ideologue, he told the cable news channel NY1 in a recent interview that the controversy might actually help fundraising for the center, which he

said would be “an iconic building” and which has a projected cost of over $100 million. “Absolutely,” he said, grinning broadly. “I want to thank everyone for taking so much interest in this project.” That kind of sarcasm is classic New York, and ElGamal has taken pains to claim a classic city background, too.

The blond, blue-eyed son of a Polish mother and Egyptian father, El-Gamal spent time as a child in Liberia and Egypt, where he said his father worked for Chemical Bank, but he graduated from New Hyde Park High School on Long Island. El-Gamal took classes at several New York colleges but never got a degree, then married a Long Island

Islamic center, Feisal Abdul Rauf. The inspirations for ElGamal’s current, controversial project lay not overseas, he said, but uptown. When he moved to Manhattan’s West Side in 2007, he and his wife joined the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan, which runs a popular health club and hosts lectures, art exhibitions and film and music festivals. The JCC, like its East Side counterpart, the 92nd Street Y, has transcended its religious affiliation to become an important cultural institution, and el-Gamal envisioned something similar downtown, but with a distinctly Muslim flavor. As El-Gamal tells it, he dispatched a young employee named Francisco Patino to scout possible locations. Patino, a former contestant on an ABC reality game show called “American Inventor,” came back with a list that included a former Burlington Coat Factory warehouse empty since it was damaged in the 9/11 attacks. It took another four years to buy the property.

woman. In an interview with The New York Observer, El-Gamal said he got into real estate as a residential sales broker, then moved into commercial sales and in 2006 began putting together a few deals of his own with money he borrowed from banks, relatives and friends. Today, his business portfolio is small by New York standards. It includes a handful of apartment buildings and a mid-size commercial building in Manhattan, which he bought with partners and which included a medical clinic owner whose Egyptian parents were killed on an EgyptAir flight that plummeted into the Atlantic Ocean in 1999. El-Gamal said he came from a fairly nonreligious family but became more devout after the Sept. 11 attacks. In an interview with New York magazine, he said that after the attacks, he “just felt like praying.” He began attending a downtown mosque, then found a second one run by the imam who is now his partner in the proposed

THE ECONOMY

Bad news on homes, goods adds to air of recession fortably high,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, referring to the possibility that the nation will tip back into recession. “Nothing else can go wrong. There is no cushion left.” On Wednesday, the government offered the latest dose of grim news about the economic recovery: Companies cut back last month on their investments in equip-

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s starting to feel like another recession. Businesses are ordering fewer goods. Home sales are the slowest in decades. Jobs are scarce, and unemployment claims are rising. Perhaps most worrisome, manufacturing activity, which had been one of the economy’s few bright spots, is faltering. “The odds of a doubledip are rising and uncom-

Earlier this week came news that sales of previously occupied homes fell last month to the lowest level in 15 years. Unemployment remains near double digits because job growth in the private sector has slowed. The economy has

grown for a full year now, and many experts believe the recession technically ended in July 2009. But the pace of expansion has slowed significantly in the past six months. Economists are predicting the government will announce Friday that the economy grew from April to June even more slowly than previously thought, at an annual rate below 2 percent — weak

Alaskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GOP senator in jeopardy

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski fought to save her job Wednesday, locked in a stunningly tight Republican primary race against a political novice backed by Sarah Palin and tea party activists. The outlook was far brighter for another incumbent, Sen. John McCain, who won handily in Arizona. With 98 percent of election day precincts counted, Murkowski trailed Joe Miller by 1,960 votes out of more than 91,000 counted. The race was too close to call, with as many as 16,000 absentee votes and an undetermined number of provisional or questioned ballots, remaining to be counted starting on Aug. 31. Murkowski would be the seventh incumbent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and fourth Republican â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to lose in a year in which the tea party has scored huge victories in GOP Senate primaries and voters have shown a willingness to punish Republicans and a handful of Democrats with ties to Washington and party leadership. Miller is a Gulf War veteran and selfdescribed â&#x20AC;&#x153;constitutional conservative.â&#x20AC;? It also was an outsiderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night in Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GOP primary for governor, with big-spending upstart Rick Scott toppling veteran insider Bill McCollum, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney general who had the support of national party chiefs.

also voted â&#x20AC;&#x201D; held nominating contests Tuesday, 10 weeks before the general election. The races highlighted dominant themes of this volatile election year, including anti-establishment anger and tea party challenges from the right. Elsewhere, the establishment prevailed. McCain easily cinched his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renomination â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and likely re-election this fall â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by dispatching former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, who had tea party support. The 2008 GOP

presidential nominee spent more than $20 million on the primary. Rep. Kendrick Meek cruised to the Democratic Senate nod in Florida against a wealthy political newcomer. And a slew of Republican and Democratic members of Congress withstood primary challenges. But Murkowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unexpectedly tough battle and Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory underscored the unpredictability of this election year ahead of November, when control of both

houses of Congress will be at stake. The 2010 midterm elections already have seen six incumbents lose. Sen. Robert Bennett, R-Utah, was ousted by his party. Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., and Reps. Alan Mollohan, D-W.Va., Parker Griffith, R-Ala., Bob Inglis, R-S.C., and Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, D-Mich., failed in primary bids. Now Murkowski might. Appointed in 2002, she is seeking her second full term and was expected to coast to re-election. Miller initially looked like a long shot, but he started to gain steam as the primary approached. He drew the backing of the Tea Party Express, a California-based group thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run ads, held rallies and questioned Murkowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservative credentials. Also, Palin, the former Alaska governor, and her husband, Todd, rallied behind Miller in the final days, lending their name to get-out-the-vote efforts. Like Utahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bennett, Murkowski had stressed that seniority mattered in the U.S. Senate, where years of service translated into billions of dollars for roads, ports, bridges and other home state projects. Alaskan voters were reminded of that earlier this month when former Sen. Ted Stevens died in a plane crash. For four decades, Stevens consistently delivered federal dollars that transformed the 49th state.

ASHLAND, Ore. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A wind-whipped wildfire burned through 11 homes outside an Oregon college town as hot, dry weather â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with temperatures near 100 degrees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also helped fires spread in Idaho and Southern California, where homes were evacuated. The fire on the outskirts of Ashland, a tourist destination best known as home to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, ignited a string of homes one after the other, setting off explosions Tuesday afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just inferno â&#x20AC;&#x201D; black smoke, RV, things blowing up, gas tanks, tires,â&#x20AC;? neighborhood resident Cindy Walker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Propane tanks, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. It sounded like bombs going off. Like tornadoes of black smoke coming out of garages and backyards.â&#x20AC;? Three other houses were damaged and homes along four streets in the 1970s-era neighborhood were evacuated. The flames were finally controlled at around dusk and no injuries were reported. Officials were tallying the damage Wednesday and looking for the cause of the blaze, which burned less than 20 acres. In southern Idaho, firefighters hoped calmer, cooler weather would help them gain ground on a wildfire that scorched more than 510 square miles. The lightning-sparked fire was fueled by strong winds Sunday and Monday, blackening more than 327,000 acres and becoming the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest actively battled wildfire since it started Saturday. So far, crews have contained 10 percent of the fire burning across a desolate, flat landscape of sagebrush and cheatgrass.

Eggs from Iowa farms could come to table near you CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Iowa hens at the heart of a massive recall are still laying eggs that could end up on a table near you. And food safety experts say thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK. The eggs will first be pasteurized to rid them of any salmonella. Then they can be sold as liquid eggs or added to other products. Officials from the two farms that have recalled more than a half-billion eggs say thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason not to use the eggs while federal officials investigate the outbreak. Wright Egg Farms and Hillandale Farms issued the recall after learning that salmonella may have sickened as many as 1,300 people. Spokeswomen for the farms said their hens are still laying several million eggs a day. Those eggs are being sent to facilities where their shells are broken and the contents pasteurized. Hillandale Farms spokeswoman Julie DeYoung said

But the pasteurization only affects eggs that are being laid now. Recalled eggs that had already been shipped to stores are destroyed.

Colo. authorities recapture escaped prisoner DENVER (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Authorities say they have recaptured an inmate who escaped from a maximum-security prison in Colorado. State and federal officials say 48-year-old Douglas J. Alward was arrested Wednesday in a cornfield near the northeast Colorado town of Yuma. No other details have been released. Alward was serving a 20to- 40-year sentence at the Sterling Correctional Facility for attempted murder, assault burglary and kidnapping. He escaped Sunday. Officials say he was considered extremely dangerous. It was the fourth escape for Alward. His previous escapes involved kidnappings and a shootout with police.

Tropical Storm Earl forms in the open Atlantic

MIAMI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tropical Storm Earl has formed in the open Atlantic Ocean, but the system is far from land. Earl has maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph) and is expected to become a hurricane by Friday. In the Pacific, Hurricane Frank developed off Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coast. Frank has maximum sustained winds near 75 mph (120 kph). The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Wednesday that Frank could get stronger as it moves away from Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s southwestern coast. Frank is located about 240 miles (385 kilometers) south of Cabo Corrientes, Mexico, and is moving westnorthwest. Also in the open Atlantic, Hurricane Danielle is moving northwest with winds of about 85 mph (140 kph). The forecast track has Danielle heading toward Bermuda over the next several days. One ranger patrolled deadly Calif. race that killed eight

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A federal agency said Wednesday it had just one ranger patrolling a 50-mile off-road race course where a competing truck killed eight spectators gathered close to the Mojave Desert course. The Bureau of Land Manage ment said the ranger was patrolling the course in the Johnson Valley off-highway vehicle area more than a week ago when a spectator flagged him down and reported the truck had slammed into the crowd and overturned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ranger immediately responded, and once at the scene, quickly assessed the situation, and called for emergency support,â&#x20AC;? said Jan Bedrosian, BLM deputy state director of external affairs, said in a statement. The BLM, which issued permits for the 200-mile, four-lap race, has maintained that the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organizer was responsible for safety. The tragedy has raised questions about the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oversight of such events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that the law enforcement presence was inadequate the night those people were tragically killed,â&#x20AC;? said Daniel Patterson, Southwest director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those deaths were preventable. Better decisions from the BLM could have helped keep those people alive.â&#x20AC;?

Elin ‘went through hell’ before divorce

WINDERMERE, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods’ exwife Elin Nordegren said she has “been through hell” since her husband’s infidelity surfaced but she never hit him, according to an interview released Wednesday. Nordegren told People magazine she and Woods tried for months to reconcile the relationship. In the end, a marriage “without trust and love” wasn’t good for anyone, she said. On Thanksgiving night outside their Florida home, Woods drove his SUV over a fire hydrant and into a tree, setting off shocking revelations that sports’ biggest star had been cheating on his wife through multiple affairs. The couple officially divorced Monday. Nordegren told People that she never hit Woods on the night of the car crash. “There was never any violence inside or outside our home,” she said. “The speculation that I would have used a golf club to hit him is just truly ridiculous.” Nordegren said Woods left the house that night and when he didn’t return after a while, she got worried and went to look for him. She said that’s when she found him in the car. “I did everything I

Elin Nordegren is shown on the cover of People magazine’s Sept. 6, 2010, issue. Tiger Woods’ ex-wife said she has “been through hell” since her husband’s infidelity surfaced but she never hit him, according to an interview released Wednesday. could to get him out of the locked car,” she said. “To think anything else is absolutely wrong.” The magazine said the interview was conducted over four visits lasting a total of 19 hours at the rented Windermere, Fla., home where she now lives with their two children. “I’ve been through hell,” said the Swedishborn Nordegren, who began losing her hair in the

days before the divorce became final. “It’s hard to think you have this life, and then all of a sudden — was it a lie? You’re struggling because it wasn’t real. But I survived. It was hard, but it didn’t kill me.” Asked about his exwife’s interview, Woods said Wednesday, “I wish her the best in everything.”

“You know, it’s a sad time in our lives,” he said from The Barclays golf tournament in New Jersey. “And we’re looking forward in our lives and how we can help our kids the best way we possibly can. And that’s the important thing.” While Nordegren said she has watched little TV in the last nine months, she sometimes followed the scandal on the Internet. Friends also kept her informed. Nordegren credits therapy for helping her deal with her emotions and kept a journal. “I haven’t gone back to read what I wrote in December and January; I’m afraid to,” she said. In an interview on NBC’s “Today” show on Wednesday morning, People magazine reporter Sandra Sobieraj Westfall said Nordegren and her team approached the publication. Westfall said Nordegren wanted people to know three things: she’s not violent and never hit Woods; she had no idea this was going on; and it was a real marriage for her. Claudia DiRomualdo, the magazine’s public relations director, said no one received payment for the story. Nordegren met Woods

when she was working as a nanny for Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik, and said she fell in love with him because they had “so much fun, and I felt safe with him.” She called their Oct. 5, 2004, wedding in Barbados “one of the happiest days of my life.” The couple have a 3-year-old daughter, Sam, and an 18month-old son, Charlie. In the interview, Nordegren would not disclose the amount of the divorce settlement but did say “money can’t buy happiness or put my family back together.” “I’m so embarrassed that I never suspected — not a one. For the past 3½ years, when all this was going on, I was home a lot more with pregnancies, then the children and my school.” When she learned of Woods’ infidelities, Nordegren said she felt “absolute shock and disbelief.” “I felt stupid as more things were revealed — how could I not have known anything?” Nordegren said. “The word betrayal isn’t strong enough. I felt like my whole world had fallen apart. It seemed that my world as I thought it was had never existed. I felt embarrassed for having been so deceived. I felt betrayed by many people around me.” Woods, who was playing a pro-am round at The Barclays in Paramus, N.J., early Wednesday, hasn’t commented on the couple’s divorce.

With new rules, judge sets path for Lohan BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Lindsay Lohan’s judge on Wednesday laid out a path paved with therapy sessions and 12-step program meetings that could lead to the actress’s recovery and an end to a three-year-old drug case. It also would allow the starlet to return to work after spending more than a month in jail and inpatient rehab. For the next 67 days, Lohan will be expected to attend psychotherapy, drug and alcohol counseling and random drug and alcohol testing several times a week, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox ordered during a hearing. If the 24-year-old star succeeds, Fox said he will allow Lohan to return to unsupervised probation and to leave Los Angeles permanently if she wishes. If she fails to show up or doesn’t pass any of the drug screenings, the judge threatened her with a 30-day jail sentence for each violation. Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, said her client was eager to demonstrate that she could comply with the rigid outpatient rehab requirements laid by the judge. “She is very serious about her sobriety,” Holley told the judge. Lohan, who was released from rehab hours earlier, did not attend the hearing.

Susan Boyle to sing for the pope during UK tour LONDON (AP) — British singing sensation Susan Boyle said Wednesday she feels humbled and honored by the opportunity to sing for Pope Benedict XVI during his tour of Britain. The unlikely pop star who shot to global fame after she sang on the TV show “Britain’s Got Talent” will perform hymns and sing with an 800-strong choir at an open-air papal Mass in Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park on Sept. 16, the Roman Catholic Church said. Boyle, 49, will also sing “I Dreamed A Dream” from “Les Miserables.” Her rendition of the song on the talent show has been viewed millions of times on the Internet. She told Scotland’s The Daily Record newspaper on Wednesday that the invitation to sing for the pope is “my greatest dream come true.” “I’ve always wanted to sing for His Holiness and I can’t really put into words my happiness that this wish has come true at last,” she told Scotland’s Daily Record newspaper. “I am humbled and honoured by this invitation and I hope I can do my best.” Benedict’s four-day trip will be the first papal visit to Britain since Pope John Paul II in 1982.

CAMP LEJEUNE

Marines pour resources into mental health care

CAMP LEJEUNE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; They have been in harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way for years in two countries, in a branch of the military where toughness and self-reliance have been especially prized for generations. Now the Marines are struggling against an enemy that has entrenched itself over nearly a decade of war: mental illness. Marines stressed from repeated tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan are seeking help like never before, and their suicide rate is the highest in the military after doubling in just the past three years. Even with more mental-health professionals sent to bases to help, they have had trouble keeping up with demand. There have been times when staff at Camp Lejeuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s base hospital faced a choice of either staying with a Marine through lengthy treatment or leaving a case midstream to be able to keep up with the deluge of new patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see people as frequently as we wanted to and to see them as much as we wanted to would mean not getting another Marine an initial evaluation,â&#x20AC;? said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Rebecca Webster, the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head of mental health.

ST. JUDE NOVENA May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, gloriďŹ ed, loved and preserved throughout the world, now and forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us. St. Jude worker of miracles, pray for us. Say this prayer nine times a day for nine days. Your prayers will be answered. It has never known to fail. Publication must be promised. Thank you St. Jude, my prayers have been answered.

An anchor stands in front of the entrance to Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune at Camp Lejeune. The Marines, who have prized toughness and self-reliance for generations, find themselves losing a fight against an enemy that nearly a decade of war has made stronger: The branchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suicide rate has more than doubled over the last three years, surpassing the Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as the worst in the military. More than 1,100 members of the armed forces killed themselves from 2005 to 2009, and suicides have been on the rise again this year. The sharpest increases have been in the Army and Marine Corps, the services most stretched by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. One 23-year-old Marine recently treated for post traumatic stress disorder at Camp Lejeune said he felt processed by the system rather than properly treated. The Marine, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said that after his diagnosis he was relegated to short appointments during which mental health

specialists did little more than check his dosages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just threw a bunch of pills at me,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mike Sloan, a California veteran who counsels troubled Marines, said commanders should be doing more to reach out to Marines in trouble and get them help. He said the military still faces a huge challenge in changing a mindset that encourages troops to be tough and handle problems on their own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen in the armed forces,â&#x20AC;? said Sloan, who helped start a nonprofit veterans group in Oceanside, Calif., a community that borders Camp

Pendleton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am positive combat stress and PTSD are caused by leadership failures.â&#x20AC;? Sloan cited a case in June in which a Marine alerted Camp Pendleton officials after seeing a disturbing message on a fellow Marineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page. A Camp Pendleton spokesman, 1st Lt. Ken Kunze, said the Marineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s command â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not mental health providers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; contacted the young man. He told them he was fine and was driving off base, heading home to Michigan. The next day, the Marine was found dead, hanging from an observation tower on base, Kunze said. His

family complained that not enough was done to prevent the suicide, and the Marine Corps is investigating the case. A report ordered by Congress last year and sent to Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Tuesday said the service branchesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prevention programs are inefficient. The 14-member panel of military and civilian doctors recommended dozens of changes, including the creation of a highlevel office to set strategy and coordinate prevention programs across branches. Officials with the Navy, which oversees health care for the Marines, say a number of factors are putting strains on its hospital staffs. Multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan are making troops more vulnerable to psychological problems, and the number of people living on bases has greatly expanded with military recruitment up because of the wars. The government also is demanding more rigorous pre- and post-deployment screenings to catch problems and treat them. The Marine Corps has started deploying mental health professionals with battalions in the field, but the efforts have yet to make a substantial difference in curbing the suicide rate, commanders say. Mental health professionals, including social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists, have been added to the staffs of 18 naval hospitals to treat Marines and sailors, who serve with Marine units on the ground as medics, said Cmdr. Cappy Surette, a Navy Medicine spokesman. Camp Pendleton had 18 health professionals treating about 1,100 Marines per month three years ago. Today it has 38 to treat more than 1,700 Marines monthly, Surette said. At Camp Lejeune, the number of mental health workers went from eight to 48 over the past three years. The number of Marines and sailors seeking help there doubled during that

time, to more than 4,000 monthly. The Army has also beefed up its staff since 2007, adding 1,264 civilian, military and contract mental health workers. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a more than 68 percent increase, but Army officials say it is 465 providers less than they would like. The Marinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; suicide rate is 24 per 100,000, and the Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rate is close behind at 22 per 100,000. The suicide rate among U.S. civilians â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when adjusted to reflect the age, gender and racial demographics of sailors and Marines â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was close to 20 per 100,000 between 1999 and 2005, according to a Navy report. The Air Force rate of 15.5 suicides per 100,000 is its highest since 1995. The Navy has the lowest rate at 13.3 per 100,000, but even that has been increasing over the last five years. Veterans groups and officials have said it is difficult to compare current data with other eras. The current wars are the first conflicts during which the military has monitored active-duty suicide rates. Critics say the quality of care still falls short. They point to the May suicide of a Marine who shot himself on base minutes before he was supposed to be checked into Camp Lejeuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital, and to an ongoing Defense Department investigation of the hospital after a military brain trauma specialist complained to commanders about poor facilities, inadequate care programs and weak security. Dr. Kernan Manion was fired after making those complaints. Retired Marine and Jacksonville defense attorney Scott Jack said many of his clients are Marines suffering from psychological problems who face criminal charges because of misconduct tied to drug and alcohol abuse. He said his clients blame their problems in part on overworked doctors who only prescribed medication and had no time to spend with them.

SPURRIER: SC WILL ACCEPT PENALTIES COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier says the team won’t protest potential penalties it may get from the NCAA if it finds players violated rules. Gamecocks tight end Weslye Saunders has spoken with NCAA investigators about his attendance at a party in South Beach this past May. He is also among several players told by Spurrier to end their stays at a local hotel and find other living arrangements. Spurrier said Wednesday he had no information about what the NCAA might do. But historically, Spurrier said players who are found to have received extra benefits sit out a game or two before they can play again. “If that happens, we’ll accept it and move on,” Spurrier said. “But it may not happen. We don’t know.” Saunders was suspended by Spurrier on Monday for violating team rules and has not returned to practice. Spurrier said the suspension was not connected to the NCAA probe or Saunders’ stay at the hotel.

SANFORD — Wednesday’s soccer match between Harnett Central and Lee County was cancelled following an incident at last week’s meeting that saw the entire Yellow Jackets’ fan section ejected from the

stadium. With about five minutes to go in the nonconference match last week in Angier, one of the game’s referees told Lee County head soccer coach Brad Wicker to ask all the fans on the Yellow Jacket side to leave the premises. “The official told me that

he heard a verbal threat from someone on our side,” said Wicker, who is in his first year with the Yellow Jackets. “He said that play would be suspended until I went and told our fans that they had to leave the stands. I didn’t like it, but it was his decision.” After telling them to leave,

ANGIER (MCT) — Brian Taylor has spent many a Saturday at N.C. State’s CarterFinley Stadium as a spectator. Starting next season, he will be there as a player. Taylor, a 6-3, 200-pound quarterback from Angier and Harnett Central High School, committed on Monday. Taylor becomes the sixth member of the Wolfpack’s Taylor recruiting class and the fourth from in state. North Carolina was the first program to offer a scholarship to Taylor, who also had offers from Clemson and East Carolina. His father is an N.C. State alumnus. “I’ve been around the school a lot,” Taylor said. “I really like the campus and just the school overall. I like the coaching staff up there. I guess I’m just an N.C. State fan. “I always wanted an offer from them. It was something I was hoping to get. When they did offer me, I was already looking to make a decision, and I definitely liked State over any other schools.” Taylor, a senior, has been a starter since the ninth grade but is in his first season under Coach Patrick Turner. SuperPrep magazine lists Taylor as the No. 35 senior in the state. Taylor helped Harnett Central to a season-opening win against Apex last week, completing 16 of 22 passes for 321 yards and two touch-

BASEBALL MUDCATS EXTEND DEAL WITH REDS THROUGH ’12

ZEBULON (MCT) — The Carolina Mudcats had plenty to be excited about Saturday afternoon. For starters, Saturday’s game against Mobile marked the 20th anniversary celebration for the Mudcats organization. Carolina also announced Saturday a two-year extension of its player-development contract with the Cincinnati Reds, and former Mudcat and World Series champion Tony Womack was present to meet with fans and throw out the first pitch. A line of fans kept Womack’s signing hand busy until game time. “He’s a sterling example of the kind of young men that have been through here,” Carolina Mudcats owner Steve Bryant said. “We’ve been very fortunate to have great players, and Tony epitomizes them all. He’s the guy that over-achieved from what everyone thought.” Bryant said Womack had the greatest at-bat he’s ever seen and couldn’t forget it since it helped Carolina win a pennant. Womack took two consecutive strikes, but still batted for 17 minutes before tripling to knock in the winning run. “He’s done that all his life,” Bryant said. “He went to the big leagues and did the same thing for the Diamondbacks in the World Series. He knocked two guys in and they were both Mudcats, so we’re everywhere now.”

Wicker said that all the Yellow Jacket fans left the stadium cordially in cooperation but he could tell that weren’t very happy with the official’s decision. “They certainly didn’t like it,” said Wicker. “But they

ATLANTA — NFL owners are eager to increase the regular season from 16 to 18 games. The players aren’t so sure. During a five-hour meeting at a posh hotel in downtown Atlanta, the push to add two more games to the regular season

picked up steam Wednesday — at least among those who sign the checks. “I think it’s a win-win all around,” said Bob Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots. The owners also unanimously approved Stan Kroenke’s proposal to purchase majority ownership of the St. Louis Rams, assuming he turns over

control of two other teams he owns — the NBA’s Denver Nuggets and the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche — to his son. Kroenke owns 40 percent of the downtrodden Rams and exercised his right to purchase the rest of the team from the Rosenbloom family for a reported $750 million. “Obviously, all of us know

and respect Stan,” commissioner Roger Goodell said. “He’s been a terrific owner in the NFL and we’re confident he will continue to be a great owner.” Kroenke must turn over operational and financial control of the Nuggets and Avalanche to his 30-year-old son, Josh, by

Campbell releases â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;11 womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoops schedule BUIES CREEK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Renewed rivalries, education days and a full Atlantic Sun slate highlight the 2010-11 Campbell womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our schedule offers us some good competition both in and outside of our league,â&#x20AC;? said CU head coach Wanda Watkins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the combination of a few schools that we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played, along with the Big South schools, and on top of that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve added back to our schedule UNC Wilmington, which is a rivalry weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed for years.â&#x20AC;? The Lady Camels, fresh off a season where the team captured its most wins in nearly a decade, will kick off the year at Longwood in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;classicâ&#x20AC;? formatted tournament that will also include Appalachian State on Nov. 12 and 13. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We split with Longwood last year, and it was a battle in both games,â&#x20AC;? said Watkins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Appalachian had a great finish to their season last year, winning the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basketball Invitational. That tournament will be a good test for us.â&#x20AC;? Campbell battled to a split with the Lancers in last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home-andhome series, dropping the game in Farmville, Va. before tallying an 8270 win inside the John W Pope. Jr. Convocation Center. Two other road contests will also challenge the Lady Camels in November, with Wofford (Nov. 17) and Coastal Carolina (Nov. 23) also on the schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Judging on last year, we know Wofford will be a really good game because we know how we won that game last year,â&#x20AC;?

said Watkins of the Lady Camelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 82-80 opener last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a close one at the end.â&#x20AC;? Opening Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home slate will be UNC Asheville on Saturday, Nov. 20. Last season, the Lady Camels handed UNCA a 78-67 setback that included an 18-point margin at one time. December opens with a three game homestand, with contests against High Point (Dec. 1), UNC Wilmington (Dec. 11) and North Carolina Central (Dec. 14). The Lady Camels have locked up with UNCW 44 times since the series began in 1974, by far the most of any opponent in program history. Though the series has taken a two year break, Campbell holds a 30-14 edge over the Seahawks.

On Dec. 14, Campbell University and the Lady Camels will host the first of two Education Days for local youth. The busy day includes several sessions on other parts of campus, plus free admission to see the Lady Camels take on N.C. Central inside the Pope Center. The second Education Day will be on Jan. 10, as Campbell faces Mercer in an A-Sun battle. The always challenging A-Sun schedule begins on the road this season for CU, opening at USC Upstate, who finished last season with a 20-9 record as one of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most improved teams. The Lady Camels split with the Spartans a year ago, with each team taking a win on the road. Following that matchup, Campbell will head to East Tennessee State, who has represented the conference in each of the last three NCAA Tournaments. After the conference preview, the Lady Camels will play their final nonconference game of the season on Dec. 30 at Presbyterian. Campbell has never faced their future Big South conference rival.

Dodgersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ramirez mum amid reports heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on waivers

MILWAUKEE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Manny Ramirez declined to comment on multiple reports that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been put on waivers. Ramirez shook off several reporters over an hour in front of his locker before Wednesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game in Milwaukee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, man, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m good, thanks,â&#x20AC;? Ramirez said. The White Sox are said to be interested in claiming him for a postseason push if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available. Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen said Tuesday if he were asked by general manager Ken Williams if he wanted Ramirez, he would say yes. Ramirez was is in the starting lineup against the Brewers and playing consecutive games for the first time since coming off his third trip to the disabled list. Manager Joe Torre said the star left fielder will get Thursday off. The Los Angeles Times reported Ramirez and teammates Casey Blake, Scott Podsednik and Jay Gibbons have been placed on waivers, a common process toward the end of the year that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean any players leave their current teams.

Strasburg will have 2nd MRI Thursday on forearm

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stephen Strasburg will have a second MRI exam Thursday to determine exactly what is wrong with the Washington Nationalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rookie ace. Strasburg was put on the 15-day disabled list Monday with what the team called a right strained flexor tendon in his forearm. After the initial MRI on Sunday, the team wanted him to undergo a more extensive test including an injection of dye. Strasburg is 5-3 with a 2.91 ERA and 92 strikeouts in 68 innings this season. This is Strasburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second trip to the disabled list. He was placed on the DL last month with inflammation in his right

Ex-Pirate Jose Bautista: Team didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend enough PITTSBURGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jose Bautista doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if the Pirates didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money to spend or simply didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to spend the money they had. Regardless, the major league home run leader is convinced that if the profitable Pirates had invested in players several years ago, they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be worrying today about ending an 18-year losing streak. The Pirates were ready to win during the same 200708 seasons the club when was making more than $29 million in profits, said Bautista, a former Pirate now with the Toronto Blue Jays. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision not to spend meant their streak of losing seasons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the longest in major American pro sports history â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was bound to continue, Bautista said. Pirates president Frank Coonelly has said the club tried to build a winner by spending on draft picks, scouting, player development and other areas.

Dibble takes time off, had criticized Strasburg WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Washington Nationals announcer Rob Dibble will take some time off two days after making comments critical of rookie pitcher Stephen Strasburg. MASN spokesman Todd Webster said Dibble would not work Wednesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against the Chicago Cubs and is â&#x20AC;&#x153;taking a few days off.â&#x20AC;? Webster said Dibble requested the time off but did not say whether the absence was related to the comments about Strasburg. Dibble on Monday lashed out at the young pitcher, who has been placed on the disabled list twice in the last month. Dibble said on Sirius XM Radio that â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the cavalry come in and save your butt every time you feel a little stiff shoulder, sore elbow.â&#x20AC;?

Rockies overcome 9-run deficit DENVER (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Colorado Rockies overcame a nine-run deficit, matching the biggest rally in team history and stunning the Atlanta Braves 12-10 Thursday on Troy Tulowitzkiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go-ahead single in the eighth inning. Down 10-1 in the third inning, the Rockies chipped away against the NL East leaders before taking the lead with four runs in the eighth. Carlos Gonzalez hit a tying, two-run single with two outs, and Tulowitzki and Todd Helton followed with RBI singles. The Rockies kept close in the wild-card race and finished off a three-game sweep. Colorado also rallied from nine runs down to beat Florida 18-17 on July 4, 2008. The major league record for the biggest comeback is 12 runs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened three times, most recently by Cleveland against Seattle in 2001. The NL record of 11 runs has been done three times, with Houston doing it to St. Louis in 1994. Matt Belisle (6-4) picked up the win, pitching 1 1-3 innings in relief.

The NL Central-leading Reds took a 10-1 lead into the bottom of the fifth before San Francisco came back.

Votto had four hits and four RBIs, including his go-ahead, two-out single off reliever Barry Zito.

SPORTS IN BRIEF

WOODS’ EX-WIFE WENT ‘THROUGH HELL’

BASEBALL

(AP) — Elin Nordegren said she never had an inkling. She said she never hit her famous husband with a golf club. She said she’s never felt so sad and devastated, and hopes she never will again. All this and more from the woman the world has waited to hear from since that Thanksgiving night in November that shattered her marriage and the carefully crafted image of Tiger Woods. “I’ve been through hell,” Nordegren said in an interview with People magazine released Wednesday, two days after she and Woods were officially divorced. “It’s hard to think you have this life, and then all of a sudden — was it a lie? You’re struggling because it wasn’t real. But I survived. It was hard, but it didn’t kill me.” She and the couple’s children, 3-year-old daughter Sam and 18-month-old son Charlie, have settled a mile from her ex-husband in a rented, five-bedroom house in a gated community in Windermere, Fla. — where Woods needs her permission to get past the guard. The two are sharing custody of their children. She credits therapy and long runs with helping her deal with the last nine months, and she also kept a journal of her thoughts and emotions. “I haven’t gone back to read what I wrote in December and January; I’m afraid to,” she said. She has not watched “one minute of golf.” But she can laugh at things now, calling those “Saturday Night Live” and “South Park” parodies of her “pretty hysterical” (though totally untrue).

PANTHERS CLAIM T BARTON OFF WAIVERS CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Carolina Panthers have swapped out backup offensive linemen by claiming Kirk Barton off waivers from Denver and waiving Jason Capizzi. Barton was Chicago’s seventh-round pick in 2008 and played one game for the Bears. He’s also had brief stints with Miami, San Francisco and Cincinnati. The Broncos waived him on Monday. Capizzi was signed by Carolina earlier this month after being waived by Cleveland in June. The move Wednesday comes as the Panthers try to shore up protection problems. They’ve allowed 11 sacks in two preseason games.

1 RANGER PATROLLED DEADLY CALIF RACE LOS ANGELES (AP) — A federal agency said Wednesday it had just one ranger patrolling a 50-mile off-road race course where a competing truck killed eight spectators gathered close to the Mojave Desert course. The Bureau of Land Management said the ranger was patrolling the course in the Johnson Valley off-highway vehicle area more than a week ago when a spectator flagged him down and reported the truck had slammed into the crowd and overturned. “The ranger immediately responded, and once at the scene, quickly assessed the situation, and called for emergency support,” said Jan Bedrosian, BLM deputy state director of external affairs, said in a statement. The BLM, which issued permits for the 200-mile, fourlap race, has maintained that the event’s organizer was responsible for safety.

SOX GM SHAKES OFF TWITTER CONTROVERSY CHICAGO (AP) — White Sox general manager Ken Williams shook off another Twitter controversy involving manager Ozzie Guillen’s son Wednesday. The problem involved Guillen’s middle son, Oney, a former White Sox employee, who took exception to Williams’ decision to go to a comedy club in a northwest suburb of Chicago while the White Sox played a doubleheader at Kansas City on Saturday night. “Wow. Just saw the sox gm coming out of a comedy club in Schaumburg with a female friend. I guess he didn’t c the sox first loss,” Oney Guillen tweeted. “Now u know what I’m talking about. In a pennant race and not even watching the game. Laughing at (Carlos) mencia jokes. Don’t blame him.” Although Williams takes exception to Guillen’s son, Williams said he still has a good working relationship with the manager. “I care about the dad,” said Williams. “I don’t think that we were bad. And as we talked in his office, it’s been seven years and this year there have been some things that have tripped us up. But it hadn’t been like he and I. It’s been peripheral things out there, so I don’t know that there really needs to be any great worry or concern that we can’t continue to be effective.”

It was one of those heat of the moment type situations that we’ve got to learn from and move on from.” Wicker says he doesn’t know what was said to force the official to make the decision for the ejection or who exactly it was that said it. “I was focusing on the game,” said Wicker. “I have no idea what was being said in the stands or who was saying what. I can’t really pay attention to that kind of that stuff. I always focus on what’s going on down on the field whenever we’re playing.” The incident stemmed when two Yellow Jacket players, Ben Grossfuss

and Brady Heath, were given red cards and ejected from the contest. Heath was given an automatic four game suspension for fighting and will miss the next three games. Grossfuss was suspended for two games, which is an NCHSAA rule, but will be available for Monday’s Tri-9 Conference opener at Apex. “The fans weren’t real thrilled with what was going on or how the game was being called,” said Wicker. “Those plays caused a big stir in our crowd. It was a tough situation and you hate to see it and be a part of it. It was the ref’s decision and I had to do what he asked me to do in order to finish the game.” Lee County athletic director Steve Womack, who was not at the match and did not see what happened, called the

situation an embarrassment. “Anytime you get fans ejected from a game, it’s an embarrassment to our program, our school, our new soccer coach and to our administration,” said Womack. “The referee made a call and whether or not you like it, you’ve got to live with it. Those situations just shouldn’t happen. There’s no room for that in athletics.” The Yellow Jackets and the Trojans were scheduled to play each other again on Wednesday night at Paul Gay Stadium for Lee County’s home opener. However, the match was canceled on Monday in what Wicker described as scheduling conflicts with the Trojans. “Harnett Central didn’t want to play a game on the first day of school or something like that,” said Wicker. “Whether or not that’s the truth doesn’t re-

ally matter at this point. All we can do is gear up and get ready for Southern Lee.” The Trojans were given five yellow cards in the game in their 6-1 victory over the Yellow Jackets. Lee County, on the other hand, were called for those two red cards in a five-minute span. Later in the match, the Yellow Jackets were given another yellow card. “Usually you get some sort of warning or something before you’re given a red card like that,” said Wicker. “I didn’t agree with a lot of the calls that were made and neither did our fans. I think the referee could feel the emotions coming from our side and it led him to make the decision that he made.” After the match, Wicker was told by the referee that instead of making the initial reac-

tion of ejecting the fans, he should’ve given Wicker a card as a way of controlling the crowd. “I can get a card for the behavior of our fans,” said Wicker. “I think if he had done that and made it perfectly clear why he was doing it, I like to think that they would’ve eventually settled down knowing that they were the reason I was carded.” Heath reacted after being kicked in the midsection by shoving a Trojans player. Grossfuss was also carded after making contact with the Harnett Central goalkeeper, which is an automatic red card. “He should’ve walked away,” said Wicker about Heath. “You can’t retaliate to something like that.

DUKE

APPALACHIAN STATE

Devils hit the ground running Presley likely The Herald-Sun, Durham, N.C. DURHAM (MCT) — Duke’s football coaches plan to use multiple sets of legs in an attempt to improve a rushing offense that was dead last in the ACC a year ago. In Tuesday night’s final preseason intrasquad scrimmage, four Blue Devil running backs reached the end zone and speedy freshman Josh Snead turned in one of the night’s highlights with a 49-yard touchdown run. “We ran the ball very well,” said running back Desmond Scott, a former Hillside star who broke off a 51-yard run and led the offense with 81 yards rushing. “The emphasis is on running the ball this year and making it better. This is the time to make it better, on the practice field. The offensive line did a heck of a job.” Patrick Kurunwune and freshman Juwan Thompson also reached

the end zone as the Devils first- and second-team units played against a scout team that mimicked Elon, which Duke will open the season against on Sept. 4. Snead displayed breakaway speed on his scoring run, something the coaching staff is hoping he can add to the offense consistently this season. “I love to see him hit the line of scrimmage,” Cutcliffe said. “He’s a threat to take it to the house. He’s one of the faster players we have on the team. Not only that, he’s quick. One of the things I’ve liked about Josh since he’s been here is he understands about taking the ball and pressing the hole. He gets there in a hurry.” In the passing game, where Duke led the ACC last season, Sean Renfree completed 11-of-17 passes for 138 yards, including a 33-yarder for a touchdown to Conner

Vernon. For the first time in the three preseason scrimmages, Renfree had all-ACC receiver Donovan Varner among his options. Varner has been slowed by a tight hamstring. Austin Kelly, another returning receiver, remains out. “The play of Sean Renfree, for the most part, was consistent,” Cutcliffe said. “He played the strategy of the game well and managed the offense well.” Meanwhile, Cutcliffe confirmed a noteworthy decision about who plays behind Renfree. True freshman Brandon Connette took all the snaps as the No. 2 quarterback and has won the job over redshirt freshman Sean Schroeder. “I think we are at the point right now that Connette is our backup quarterback and we may have some opportunities for him to play in certain situations,” Cutcliffe said.

The situation remains unsettled, however, at kicker and Tuesday night only further muddled the picture. Will Snyderwine, a second-team All-ACC pick last season who is on the preseason watch list for the Lou Groza Award as the nation’s top kicker, is in danger of not starting. The redshirt junior missed a 34-yard field goal wide right Tuesday night. Cutcliffe immediately sent Nick Maggio in to attempt the same kick, which Maggio drilled down the middle. “This kind of started last spring,” Cutcliffe said. “I want to see us be excellent in that area. So we’ll probably make the decision and announce it early next week.” Defensively, linebacker August Campbell recovered two fumbles Tuesday night. Junior safety Matt Daniels had an interception. — Durham Herald-Sun

UNC

Gaskins’ return to strengthen o-line By BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald-Sun

CHAPEL HILL — When looking at North Carolina’s offensive depth chart, one thing stands out among the 11-man starting lineup. Offensive lineman Carl Gaskins is the only expected Tar Heel starter without a start to his name. The junior missed all of 2009 after tearing the ACL in his left knee during training camp, and an intrasquad scrimmage on Aug. 15 marked the first game experience for the left tackle in more than a year and a half. “I felt pretty good, just afterwards I was a little sore,” said Gaskins, who saw action in five games in 2008. Gaskins’ injury last August was the beginning of a rough year a UNC offensive line that was plagued by injures. It struggled to dominate the line of scrimmage as nine players were shuffled in and out of five different starting lineups. Fortunately for the Tar Heels, they have a bit more experience this season and the return of Gaskins provides an instant boost -- even though he’s not yet at full speed.

“[The knee is] not 100 percent yet, but I’m getting closer and closer every practice,” said Gaskins, who holds the school record for an offensive lineman in the 40-yard dash with a time of 4.87. “I feel better and better everyday.” The 6-5, 300-pounder not only missed last season -- where he was expected to push Kyle Jolly -- but he was held out of UNC’s spring practice while still trying to recover from the surgery. Gaskins said his knee still gets sore at the end of practices, but he’s been working with the training staff everyday to get his strength back. But one of the biggest obstacles Gaskins has had to overcome during training camp has not been the physical aspect of the injury but rather the mental. “The main thing is I don’t want to get hurt again, so I just have to get that out of my system,” Gaskins said. “I’m not going to hurt it again. The other day the trainers told me, ‘This was a fluke accident.’ “ The ACL tear was the first injury Gaskins had in his life, and he’s slowly

gaining trust back in his knee. Coach Butch Davis said Gaskins was tentative the first couple of practices, but the coaching staff can tell he’s gaining confidence. “Any time you come off knee reconstruction there’s a little bit of period of time that psychologically you got to feel yourself going through some drills,” Davis said. “And I would say his performances every single time have gotten a little bit quicker, a little faster, a little bit more physical as he’s learned to trust that

knee and it is healthy. He’s going against a good quality defensive line so it challenges him every day, but I think he’s making some strides.” Gaksins said he does feel more confident by the day, and his teammates have taken notice of his progress. “I think he looks great,” senior left guard and thirdyear starter Alan Pelc said. “I had to knock the rust off a little bit and he hadn’t played in a year. It’s just working out the little kinks, getting his technique and just kind of getting back into the groove of things.”

starter at QB BOONE (MCT) — Appalachian State is in the midst of preparing for its season opener at Chattanooga on Sept. 4, and it appears that DeAndre Presley will be the starting quarterback. “We feel like DeAndre is a pretty solid No. 1,” Brad Glenn, the Mountaineers’ quarterbacks coach, said yesterday. “He’s doing really well. “I feel like DeAndre will start against Chattanooga.” Presley, a junior, has been battling red-shirt freshman Jamal Jackson for the chance to replace record-setting Armani Edwards, a four-year starter at quarterback. The Mountaineers’ coaching staff also has been impressed with freshman Kalik Barnes. Presley was a backup to Edwards, and started two games while Edwards was recovering from injuries, before moving to receiver last season. Barnes is challenging Jackson for the No. 2 spot. “That’s still up in the air,” Glenn said. “Both are doing well. Kalik is coming on strong and picking things up fast. It’s probably going to boil down to a week-to-week thing.” Barnes was bumped to work with the No. 2 team Monday, but Glenn said

that Jackson, working as the No. 3 quarterback, had perhaps his best practice to date. Barnes could be redshirted this season but has increased his chances of playing immediately with his performance in preseason camp. “He’s still young and still learning, but the best two things he’s got going for him right now is that he sees the field great -- he sees things happen and has great vision in the run game and the pass game, and the second thing is he’s very accurate,” Glenn said. “He has a strong arm, I wouldn’t label it as a cannon, but he’s accurate and throws a very catchable ball.” “He’s a smart kid, he’s hungry, and he’s doing all the right things. He just has to get reps right now and get a little more experience and comfortable with our offense.” Glenn said that Presley been the most consistent of the quarterbacks. “And DeAndre’s accuracy has really picked up,” Glenn said. “He just understands things a little better, and I think the game is really slowing down for him. When that happens with a quarterback, you start seeing him make more plays.”

got a good program thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won a lot of games in the past. They know how to play good baseball and they know how to run a good program.â&#x20AC;? The Catamounts finished with the No. 6 seed in the Southern Conference and like the Yellow Jackets, they made a magical run all the way to the SoCon Tournament Championship where they eventually lost to the top seeded Citadel Bulldogs ending their season with a 37-21-1 overall record. In recent years, Western Carolina has beaten programs like South Carolina, Tennessee, Clemson and Georgia Tech, which are all another reason why he chose the Catamounts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten some big wins in the last few years,â&#x20AC;? said Frye. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Another factor behind Fryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to go to Western Carolina was because of his uncle, Tom Frye, who graduated from the school and helped his nephew in the decisionmaking process. The location of the school was also a big plus for Frye. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The location isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that bad,â&#x20AC;? said Frye. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always had this thought that Western was just in the middle of nowhere on top of a mountain. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice campus and the atmosphere is great. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to be a part of a growing program.â&#x20AC;? In the 2010 playoffs, Frye threw three complete games and 42 total strikeouts to help Lee County finish as the runner-up in the region after falling in a best-of-three series to eventual state champion Laney 2-1. Frye was voted the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Most Valuable Player and was selected All-State as a junior. Frye was also named to the Tri-9 Academic AllConference team and was a first team all-conference selection. He was also

named to the North Carolina State Games showcase event for the second time in his career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dillonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those players that you just love having in your program,â&#x20AC;? said Lee County head coach Charlie Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to be around and is so coachable. His teammates enjoy being with him. I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a great fit with coach Moranda and Western Carolina, I really do.â&#x20AC;? One good thing about the 2011 season for Spivey is that the Yellow Jackets will bring back the majority of the team that went on the magical run through the postseason, which includes Frye, who will be back for his senior season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He, like everyone else on our team, will have a huge bullseye on their chest,â&#x20AC;? said Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are going to be gunning for us. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of how far Dillon has come so far, though. To do what he did in what I think is the toughest conference in the state is amazing. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad to have him back for one more year.â&#x20AC;? Moranda could not comment on Fryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s verbal commitment and will not be able to until he signs a letter of intent. Frye did speak with his next coach after making the decision, though. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was on speakerphone with him and the other coaches,â&#x20AC;? said Frye. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were all excited that I was going to be joining their team. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to be a part of it and to see where that program can go.â&#x20AC;? Spivey says that he is more than excited about Fryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to continue to progress,â&#x20AC;? said Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only going to get better. He needs to put some weight on and get a little bit stronger, but I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to come when he goes to college. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ecstatic for Dillon and his future. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to a great program.â&#x20AC;?

NFL approves Ramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new owner

Continued from Page 1C

ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Silent Stanley will get his team. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just got to give up two others. The NFL unanimously approved a proposal for Stan Kroenke to take over as majority owner of the St. Louis Rams on Wednesday, as long as he turns over control of his NBA and NHL teams to his son. Kroenke, a 63-year-old Missouri billionaire, first became involved with bringing pro football back to St. Louis in 1993 with a failed attempt to land an expansion franchise. When the Rams moved from Los Angeles two years later, he joined the Rosenbloom family as a minority owner, increasing his stake to 40 percent in 1997. Now, for a reported $750 million, the entire team will be his. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a 17-year overnight success,â&#x20AC;? Kroenke quipped.

the end of the year. He must give up his majority stake in the teams by December 2014 to meet NFL rules against crossownership of franchises in other NFL cities. But talks on the expanded season dominated most of the meeting. Goodell pointed out that the league already has the right to impose an 18-game schedule â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and keep four preseason games for each team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; under the current labor agreement with the players. But that contract expires after this season, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear the expanded schedule will be a central issue in talks on a new collective bargaining agreement. The owners would like to keep the season at 20 weeks, reducing the number of preseason games from four to two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to do it the right way for everyone, including the players, the fans and the game in general,â&#x20AC;? Goodell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tremendous amount of momentum for it. We think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right step.â&#x20AC;? The owners held off on voting on a specific proposal that could be presented to the players union. Among the issues that still must be resolved: when to start the expanded regular season, possible roster expansion to cope with more games, and changes in training camp and offseason routines to come up with ways for evaluating younger players who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have as many preseason games to make an impression. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to continue to address a variety of issues before putting together a specific proposal, which our negotiating team will provide to the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s negotiating team,â&#x20AC;? Goodell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tremendous

support for it. Almost all the questions, all the discussions, are how to do it in a way thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fan friendly.â&#x20AC;? Around the NFL, however, many players questioned the wisdom of making an already grueling season even longer. At the very least, they want more money â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and several proposed changes in the rules governing injured players, or adding an extra bye week to deal with the grind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With 16 games, every game is important and therefore the fans are very into it, the stadiums are packed because they know if their team loses, it pushes them further and further away from making the playoffs,â&#x20AC;? Cincinnati quarterback Carson Palmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think if you go to 18, each game kind of loses a little bit of its significance.â&#x20AC;? The players clearly expect to be receive a bigger chunk of the multi-billion-dollar NFL pie if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be putting their bodies on the line in two more games that count. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously the players want to be compensated for two more games,â&#x20AC;? San Francisco 49ers linebacker Matt Wilhelm said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one thing the players have to get met.â&#x20AC;? They are also con-

cerned about an increased risk of injuries and fret that it could shorten their careers or increase the number of health problems they endure after retirement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would vote to eliminate two preseason games and then keep it at a 16-game season because the longer youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out there playing, the more your body breaks down,â&#x20AC;? Chicago Bears tight end Desmond Clark said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you get into December, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like walking zombies. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel your joints.â&#x20AC;? Cleveland Browns linebacker Scott Fujita said the timing of the proposal is odd, considering the owners want the players to accept a smaller share of the revenue in the next labor agreement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are asking you to play more games and put yourself at more risk, and they are also asking us to take a pay cut,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to ask. All those things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a whole lot of sense. We need to sit down and talk through it all and find out what it is theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really trying to do and see if it makes sense

or not.â&#x20AC;? But Kraft said the expanded season is the most obvious step to bring in more money while the economy is struggling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really think going to an 18-game season is critical to us getting a labor deal,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot ways in this economic environment we can generate incremental revenues. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other thing,â&#x20AC;? he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;our fans have said pretty loud and clear theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like us to have fewer preseason games.â&#x20AC;? Several players and coaches have pointed out that having only two preseason games would likely make it more difficult for fringe players to get enough of a look to make the team. Already, teams have been experimenting with joint workouts in training camp, believing those sessions could help replace the shorter preseason. This year, for instance, the Atlanta Falcons worked out with both New England and Jacksonville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it was a two-game preseason, then the starters are going to see most of that time because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get ready for the season, so if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re third string, good luck,â&#x20AC;? said Indianapolis linebacker Gary Brackett, the Coltsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defensive captain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was a rookie, I needed every bit of those four games.â&#x20AC;? But some figure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a foregone conclusion that the owners will get their way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personally, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see how it helps the game, or the quality of the game,â&#x20AC;? said Barry Cofield, a defensive tackle for the New York Giants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if they demand it, they will probably get it.â&#x20AC;?

HEADACHES Within a matter of several weeks, the treatment my son received at Ammons Chiropractic ended his severe headaches. All through childhood, my son experienced occasional headaches, usually occurring suddenly, and sometimes severe enough that sleep provided the only relief. At age 15, he began to have headaches more frequently, sometimes several times in a day, and three to four times a week. Conventional medical blood tests revealed no clues, an eye exam and an MRI showed nothing abnormal, but the headaches continued. My son could feel a difference seconds after the ďŹ rst treatment, and within two weeks experienced no more of the debilitating head pain. He also has peace of mind instead of fear of a headache striking at any time. After seeing the beneďŹ ts to my son, I also received orthogonal treatment for neck pain and tightness, a sensation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;crimpingâ&#x20AC;? that I never seemed able to stretch out, and which had plagued me for probably 25 years. One treatment was all it took to relieve the neck tightness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and after a year, my neck remains comfortable and correctly aligned. Ammons Chiropractic personnel are consummate professionals, careful, methodical, gentle and absolutely committed to seeking solutions. Judith Edmonds Although we cannot guarantee results or predict how fast a patient will respond, Atlas Orthogonal care is profoundly effective in treating these conditions.

All About the MountAins

A mountain is any land mass that rises considerably above its surrounding area. There is no set height to classify what is a mountain, as opposed to a hill. Some mountains are small, while others are so massive that they are known around the world. The highest peak in the world is Mount Everest in the region between Tibetan China and India. It soars to a height of 29,035 feet, or 5 Â˝ miles. Most mountains have a peak, or point; others have a level plain at their summit. These are called plateaus. Volcanoes are mountains that have a hollow core filled with molten lava. Other types of mountains are dome, fold, and fault-block mountains. There are two major mountain ranges in the United States. To the East are the Appalachians. The range begins in Newfoundland and extends into North Georgia and parts of northeastern Alabama. This range is often referred to as the Great Smoky Mountains, due to the fog and mist almost always present around their peaks. This was the name given to them by the Cherokee Indians who lived in the area. In the western U.S. are the Rocky Mountains. The Rockies extend northward into Canada and Alaska and as far south as South America to the Andes Mountains, forming the largest mountain chain on Earth.

Wife attests bald-headed men are smooth operators

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: A window of opportunity exists that can change your life forever. Partnerships, money and the wisdom to make the right choices are within reach. An all-out effort to be the best you can be creatively, intellectually and physically will lead you into interesting financial investments. Utilizing your talents to the fullest will allow you to get ahead doing something you enjoy. Your numbers are 3, 10, 18, 21, 35, 38, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t stop believing in your ability. Love is on the rise. Meeting new people will lead to someone worth knowing. If you are in a relationship, it will be easy to please the one you love. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will discover very quickly how to go about getting what you want. Your ability to apply practicality to anything you pursue will ensure success. The more you interact with others, the closer you will come to finding what works best for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Donations or giving too much of your time will not pay off. Someone will try to take advantage of you. Invest more time in yourself and the things that will help you advance. Love and romance will take over as the day progresses. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can raise your awareness and your status both personally and professionally. A problem with friends, children or a lover will slow you down if you let it. Bypass anyone giving you ultimatums. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take a trip, make a residential move or plan something special with someone you love. Don’t miss out on happiness because you are intent on getting ahead. The more you socialize with people in your industry, the better you will do and the more you will prosper.

WORD JUMBLE

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): An inside look at an investment that has the potential to make money will tempt you. Don’t spend what you don’t have. Small steps will lead to greater prosperity in the end. A partnership is apparent. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t let depression set in. If you take responsibility for your actions and are willing to admit when you are wrong, you can spare yourself a lot of turmoil. Don’t initiate changes at home but be willing to accept the inevitable. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The creative outlets you indulge in will be more profitable than you imagined. Favors will be granted if you ask. You have plenty to accomplish, so don’t put your project on the back burner for someone else’s sake. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Don’t let your emotions take over. If you worry about something or someone you are close to, you will miss an important opportunity. Your need for excitement will cost you personally and professionally. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): You have more going for you than you realize. You may want to rework some of the connections you have. It may be time to incorporate new blood into your roster of friends, peers and colleagues. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A financial, contractual or personal opportunity appears to be heading in your direction. Make an agreement with someone who will help you prosper emotionally and financially. An unusual individual will interest you in ways you have not experienced in the past. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Be the driving force in any partnership you take on. Lay down ground rules if you want to control the outcome. Know what you want and spell out it out. When it comes to love, don’t fall for someone who’s off-limits.

DEAR ABBY: I had to chuckle at the letter from “Smooth-Headed in Tampa” (June 28), who complained that shallow women won’t date a bald man. He hit the nail on the head with the term “shallow.” My husband is bald, but I didn’t realize it when I first met him because he always wore a ball cap. We had gone to school together many years earlier, and he had thick, wavy hair then. When he took his cap off, I only hesitated for a second, remembering a lesson my father had taught me: “Never judge a book by its cover.” I’m so glad I heeded my dad’s advice. We’ve been married 11 years and are more in love with each other now than when we married. Please tell “Smooth-Headed” that not all women are shallow. He wouldn’t want a woman like that, anyway. Besides, those women have no idea what they’re missing. I keep threatening to get my husband that T-shirt that reads, “This Isn’t a Bald Head, It’s a Solar Panel for a Sex Machine,” but he says he doesn’t want to spill the beans! — LOVE HIS CHROME DOME DEAR LOVE: Thank you for the encouraging words for “SmoothHeaded.” If the enthusiasm from my readers who love and/or prefer bald men is any indication, “Smooth” has been worrying needlessly. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I happen to absolutely go nuts over bald or balding men. I find nothing sexier. I can

spot a bald man a mile off, and in my eyes there is no one else who compares. It may be because ever since I can remember, my father has been balding. It makes no difference to me whether a man has little or no hair, is tall or short, thin or heavy. It is what’s on the inside that counts. Any man bold enough to shave his head or not cover it with a ball cap is tops in my book. (My favorite actor is Vin Diesel.) — OUT THERE LOOKING DEAR ABBY: Doesn’t “Smooth” know that bald is the new “sexy”? If he is uncomfortable with his hairline, he should see a barber or stylist who can make what hair he has “hot.” Every head can look good. I have happily dated men with receding hairlines and shaved heads. “Smooth” just needs to find a real woman who’s interested in who he is, not what’s growing or not growing on top of his head. — NOT BALDPHOBIC

DEAR ABBY: You are correct that plenty of women will date balding men. Aside from your assertion that we are the smart ones who see beyond the surface, balding is supposed to be a sign of virility. I do have one question for “Smooth-Headed”: Are you willing to date women who are less than supermodels? Many women I know, myself included, are smart, funny and sexy, but have been spurned because we are slightly overweight. What I have learned is that people who sit around whining about the opposite sex being shallow should review their own biases and unrealistic expectations. Who might you be overlooking, Mr. “Smooth”? — BIG AND BEAUTIFUL IN SOUTH DAKOTA DEAR ABBY: I am in a loving, happy relationship with my 26year-old boyfriend who has malepattern baldness. We met through Internet dating, and “Smooth” should give it a try. Potential dates read about your interests and personality at the same time they see your photos. They’ll start to know you before they meet you. My advice to balding men: Don’t be ashamed. “Own” your baldness. My boyfriend does. And his selfconfidence makes him even more attractive to me. — HAPPY HONEY TO A BALDING BABE

ODDS AND ENDS Tongue twist: NJ race call is merry, marital mess OCEANPORT, N.J. (AP) — A pair of dueling horses left an announcer at a New Jersey racetrack sounding more like a confused husband. Larry Collmus had noticed “Mywifenosevrything” and “Thewifedoesntknow” on the card for Sunday’s seventh race at Monmouth Park in Oceanport but he says he didn’t envision the outcome. But when the horses were both in the hunt near the end, Collmus says he had a sense of what was coming. Collmus kept up the call as the two dueled down the stretch, deftly flicking between the tongue-twisting names. His only thought: “Don’t mess it up.” At the finish he exclaimed: “Mywifenosevrything more than Thewifedoesntknow. Whew!” Video of the call has gone viral on YouTube. Mywifenosevrything is trained by a woman, while a man trains Thewifedoesntknow.

Colorado’s once-missing moon rock to be unveiled GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) — Colorado’s once missing moon rock is about to go on public display. Gov. Bill Ritter and Colorado School of Mines president Bill Scoggins will unveil the rock Wednesday at the school in Golden, its new home.

SUDOKU

MY ANSWER The Nixon administration gave former Colorado Gov. John Vanderhoof the rock in 1974. It was a piece of moon rubble from the Apollo 17 mission and all 50 states and more than 130 foreign countries received samples. Many have turned up missing and some student researchers have been trying to track them down. In June, Vanderhoof was questioned by a reporter and said he had the missing rock. Vanderhoof said he didn’t think anyone else was interested and offered to give the rock to a museum. It will be on display starting Monday.

Ohio office hides elephant, donkey after complaint NEWARK, Ohio (AP) — The elephant and the donkey are going into hiding at an Ohio voting board. A Libertarian candidate saw ceramic figurines of the Republican and Democratic symbols on the counter at the Licking County Board of Elections when he filed paperwork to run for county commissioner. James Snedden Jr. says the display showed bias toward candidates for the two major parties. He filed a complaint with the board on Aug. 4. Board director Sue Penick says the panel has since heard from the Ohio Secretary of State’s office. The state office recommended that the red, white and blue statuettes be kept out of sight, to avoid conflicts. The animal figurines are now off the counter, but still in the office.

Make good on promise to live for God Q: I just got out of the hospital after a serious heart attack. I told God that if He’d let me live, I’d give my life to Him, but now I’m wondering what this means. I’ve never been religious, but God must be giving me a second chance for some reason. - J.H. A: Yes, God has given you a second chance, and I pray you won’t take this lightly. May you never forget God’s mercy to you, but follow through on your vow to live for Him. Why did God spare you? I don’t know all the reasons, but I do know this: God’s will is for you to come to know Him by turning in faith to Jesus Christ and committing your life to Him. You see, only one thing separates you from God, and that is your sin. But God loves you, and Jesus Christ came into the world to take away your sins by giving His life for you on the cross. Ask Christ to come into your life today - and He will. Then ask God to help you grow in your faith. Just as a newborn baby needs nourishment to become strong, so you need spiritual nourishment to become strong in your faith. Make the Bible part of your life every day. Ask God also to lead you to a church where Christ is honored and His Word is taught. Learn too to commit every problem and decision you face to God in prayer. The Bible says, “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him” (Colossians 2:6).
