SHANIYA WAS STRANGLED Mario McNeill charged with murder, rape of 5-year-old in Sanford By GORDON ANDERSON anderson@sanfordherald.com

FAYETTEVILLE — Mario McNeill has been charged with murder and rape in connection with the death of 5-year-old Shaniya Davis, Fayetteville police announced late Thursday. Police say McNeill, who was already accused of kidnapped Davis, asphyxiated Shaniya

Mario McNeill

before her body was dumped in a wooded area near N.C. 87 in Sanford.

Fayetteville Police Chief Tom Bergamine would not say whether the girl’s mother, Antoinette Davis, faced any additional charges. She was arrested Monday on charges of human trafficking and felony child abuse. “It is our sincere hope that the Davis family may now begin to put this horrific event behind them and begin the

healing process,” he said. A search warrant says McNeill picked the girl up in front of the home and drove her to a hotel where she was last seen alive. Antoinette Davis is charged with trafficking her daughter and child abuse involving prostitution.

Smart Start program loses $144K locally By CAITLIN MULLEN cmullen@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — After the General Assembly recently cut $16 million in funding for the Smart Start program, administrators at local child care centers say they are worried the cuts could leave a lasting effect on child services. The Smart Start program provides health, education and family support services to parents and young children, and in Lee County, the Partnership for Children (a nonprofit organization) administers the Smart Start initiatives. Funding for the local

HAPPENING TODAY Downtown Sanford Inc. presents the “Screen on the Green” Fall Movie Series at 7 p.m. showing “Polar Express.” Patrons are encouraged to bring lawn blankets and chairs, purchase dinner from one of our many downtown restaurants, and enjoy a movie under the stars.

Partnership services was cut 11.08 percent, said Stephon Hall, program finance manager for the nonprofit. In total for services and administration, Hall said the Partnership has taken a hit of about $144,410 this year. Lyn Hankins, executive director for Lee County Partnership for Children, said the cuts are nothing new. “There have been cuts over the last seven or eight years,” Hankins said. “It really has diminished our ability to expand services.” State Rep. Jimmy Love, Sr., D-Sanford, said he regrets the cuts, which were part

SANFORD — Community leaders gathered Thursday at the McSwain Agricultural Extension Center to learn exactly what it is the Lee County Economic Development Corporation does. Members of the Sanford City Council, the Lee County Board of Commissioners and the Broadway Board of Commissioners met with the EDC’s board of directors for an open forum on the role economic development — and especially incentives — play in bringing new industry to Lee County and keeping it here. Sanford City Councilman Mike Stone and Lee County Commissioner Linda Shook — both of whom have publicly opposed EDC decisions on economic incentives in the past — each challenged recent incentives packages which were given to local companies Moore’s Machine and Red Wolf for expansions at their facilities. Stone said that in the case of Moore’s Machine, area leaders knew the company was coming to the area from Chatham County before giving the incentive in 2007. “Here we are giving an incentive when we already know the company is coming,” he said. “We all know the biggest problem we’re having is jobs. If you look at the past, we’ve

Almanac Today is Friday, Nov. 20, the 324th day of 2009. There are 41 days left in the year. This day in history: On Nov. 20, 1947, Britain’s future queen, Princess Elizabeth, married Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh, at Westminster Abbey. In 1789, New Jersey became the first state to ratify the Bill of Rights. In 1910, revolution broke out in Mexico, led by Francisco I. Madero. In 1925, Robert F. Kennedy was born in Brookline, Mass. In 1929, the radio program “The Rise of the Goldbergs” debuted on the NBC Blue Network. In 1945, 22 out of 24 indicted Nazi officials went on trial (one in absentia) before an international war crimes tribunal in Nuremberg, Germany. In 1959, the United Nations issued its Declaration of the Rights of the Child. In 1969, the Nixon administration announced a halt to residential use of the pesticide DDT as part of a total phaseout. A group of American Indian activists began a 19-month occupation of Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. In 1975, after nearly four decades of absolute rule, Spain’s General Francisco Franco died, two weeks before his 83rd birthday. In 1992, fire seriously damaged Windsor Castle, the favorite weekend home of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II. Ten years ago: A day after violent antiAmerican protests in Greece, President Bill Clinton sought to heal old wounds by acknowledging the United States had failed its “obligation to support democracy” when it backed Greek’s harsh military junta during the Cold War.

Christmas parade set for Sunday in downtown Sanford

SANFORD — Christmas is more than a month away, but Santa will be here early to add to his Sanford wishlists this weekend. The 2009 Sanford Christmas Parade, presented by Progress Energy, will begin at 3 p.m. on Sunday and will follow its traditional route, which starts at the Elks Lodge on Wicker Street. The Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce encourages all community members to come out on Sunday to cheer on their family, friends and neighbors who will be riding in the parade, as well as to show support for one of Sanford’s longest-running holiday events. More than 60 floats, bands and other entries will be in the line-up once again. After the parade, Santa will be available for pictures at Depot Park. Chamber marketing director Jennifer St. Clair said last year’s event was the first Sunday parade in Sanford, and if the turnout is the same this year, organizers will be pleased. “We received a lot of positive feedback last year from people who normally couldn’t make it for a Monday night event,� St. Clair said. “We hope to see all those folks again this year, as well as many new people.� All those riding and participating in the parade need to check in at 2 p.m. at the Elks Lodge Sunday. Anyone who plans to sell refreshments during the parade must arrive at the vendor/registration booth at that time, as well. For questions about being a parade vendor, contact the Central Carolina Jaycees at info@centralcarolinajaycees.org or (919) 356-5623. — from staff reports

HARNETT COUNTY

Chamber recruiter coming to Harnett FAYETTEVILLE (MCT) — Cumberland County’s top business recruiter is leaving for a similar job in Harnett County. The departure of Phyllis Owens, announced Wednesday by the Fayetteville-Cumberland County Chamber of Commerce, will be more amiable than the recent exit of a chamber board member. “When I looked at Harnett County, I saw huge potential,� said Owens, who starts as the economic development director Dec. 1. Owens, the chamber’s senior vice president for economic development, said she has worked well with Doug Peters, who has been chamber president for 18 months. “He’s given me the reins, with the understanding that I’m fully capable,� said Owens. “And he’s been taking care of some things that really needed to be done.� Longtime chamber board member Rebecca Eatman-Jackson resigned this month over what she described as a vague fiscal blueprint for the business advocacy group. In a Nov. 6 letter, EatmanJackson said the chamber hasn’t had a “clear and detailed� financial plan for five months.� Owens said Peters will do fine. “There have been some staff situations that have caused us some headaches,� said Owens, who is in her sixth year at the chamber. “But we’re overcoming those.� — Fayetteville Observer

Chinese art show impresses By KATHERINE McDONALD Special to The Herald

SANFORD — The language of art bridged the communication barrier between Chinese artists and those attending Central Carolina Community College’s Chinese Art Exhibition Thursday. Visitors admired the delicate but powerful images of nature captured in the paintings and the beauty of the calligraphic works. “These works are different, beautiful,� said Geri Guwang, of Carolina Trace, one of several hundred area residents who came to enjoy both the art and the artists. “I wish the paintings were available. I would like to take some home.� The one-day exhibition at the McSwain Center featured traditional Chinese paintings and calligraphy by faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Nanjing Normal University in the People’s Republic of China. It was exhibited Nov. 18 at North Carolina State University through the university’s Confucius Institute. The Institute is a center for the teaching of Chinese Mandarin language and culture in cooperation with Nanjing Normal University and Han Ban, the People’s Republic of China’s National Office of Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. It also arranges intercultural events between China and the North Carolina, such as the art exhibition. Central Carolina Community College brought the exhibition to Sanford through its partnership with NCSU’s Confucius Institute. The college has started a Confucius Classroom under the aegis of the Institute, to bring Chinese language instruction and cultural exchanges to its service area of Chatham, Harnett and Lee counties. Most of the artists did not speak English, but Professor Shuya Che, of the college’s Confucius Classroom, and Guanglin Dai, program manager for NCSU’s Confucius Institute, translated for them. “We are two different countries, but we can come together and understand each other,� said Professor Xiangwei

Chinese artist Yue-zi Lu (right) created a painting as a gift for Central Carolina Community College during the Chinese Art Exhibition hosted by the college Thursday. He presented it to CCCC President Bud Marchant at the exhibition. Li, Dean of Fine Arts at Nanjing Normal University. “There is a wonderful feeling of the people in North Carolina. The scenery is beautiful, the people are friendly. I hope some people from America will come and learn about China so we can be mutually benefited.� Dai spoke to the visitors about the various styles of Chinese calligraphy, which is the writing of poetry and sayings in artistically drawn Chinese characters. She used works in the exhibition to illustrate them. Professors Ji-an Wang and Hanping Chang demonstrated the different styles. Visitors were also impressed to learn that many of the paintings were inspired by the teachings of Confucius or poetry. The opening words in a poem serve as a painting’s title. Traditional Chinese art

writes the poetry or saying as part of the painting, so artists are also calligraphers. NNU Associate Professor Mi Lu delighted and impressed visitors with her Chinese folk art, including knot work, similar to macramĂŠ, and finely detailed scissors art. The artists gifted several works to the college in appreciation for hosting the exhibition and the friendship shared. Professor Yue-zi Lu created a brush painting of autumn leaves and blue birds while visitors watched, then presented it to college President Bud Marchant. “Thank you,â€? Marchant responded. “This is wonderful.â€? Sarah Lawrence, of Sanford, was also among the many visitors to the exhibition. “I’m loving it — it’s wonderful,â€? she said.

“I particularly liked the painting [Professor Lu] did for the college. He noticed the beauty of our area, the color in our woods and captured that. It was such a treat to see him do it.� The Chinese artists are now on their way to Washington, D.C., and New York for sightseeing before returning to China. “We had a great turnout,� Marchant said at the close of the event. “It is so important that we connect with the rest of the world. Today was a confirmation that people in our area are looking to connect with other parts of the world as we become a global society. I’m excited that we were able to bring not only a great cultural resource here but also an important economic development tool as companies look for areas with a global outlook.�

P

arents teach their children to look both ways before crossing the street, to buckle their seat belts and to avoid talking with strangers — all good advice in a world full of physical dangers. Parents and schools are not doing the same good job when it comes to teaching their children the financial dangers they will face. When it comes to credit — how it works and how it can overwhelm a young person — the lesson is not being taught adequately. State Treasurer Janet Cowell recently toured four colleges and met with 53 students. She found

that this generation doesn’t understand debt. One can argue that the nation’s Wall Street bankers didn’t understand debt, either, and that’s how we got into our current economic mess. But if Americans hadn’t fallen for the questionable mortgages and the too-goodto-be-true credit-card deals, the recession would have been less severe. We must all admit that our own financial naivete contributed to today’s problems. Cowell learned that students were using their credit cards to meet their everyday expenses and, in the process, piling up large balances. It’s an old story: college students leave home, don’t know how to use a card but

get one anyway. They pay only the minimum balance every month but keep driving the balance higher. As interest rates rise, the students are suddenly in too deep to get out. The General Assembly has tried to address the situation in the past by directing public schools to focus more study on financial literacy. But Cowell says more effort is needed. And she is right. All high-school students should take a rigorous course in home and personal economics, learning how financial instruments such as credit cards, mortgages and car loans work. They should know how to prepare a personal budget, balance a checking account and determine

what is a good deal on a debit card. Cowell also recommends that college-orientation classes include financial lessons. And she rightly calls for colleges and universities to act responsibly when it comes to credit-card companies and the offers they make on campus. Of course, as with all family matters, the ultimate responsibility for keeping a child or young adult safe rests with the parents. Mom and dad need to talk to their youngsters about these issues, teaching them the dangers not just of stepping into the street without looking but also of running up too large a credit-card balance.

Lobbyists

A

few years ago, the North Carolina legislature decided that lobbyists and those who employ them must report lobbying expenses. The state already had a requirement that lobbying expenses be reported, but a loophole made the rule largely toothless. Looking at today’s lobbying expense reports, filed with the Secretary of State’s office, you still won’t find a pile of expenses filed by the hundreds of lobbyists registered in the state. There are a couple of reasons for the zeros. First, legislators approved a gift ban that prevents the kind of small group or one-on-one wining and dining that used to take place in Raleigh, when some lobbyists plied a few legislators with fancy steakhouse dinners. The wining and dining isn’t done. Legislative receptions, with shrimp and other finger food, are still allowed under certain circumstances, the biggest being that large groups or even the general public is invited. So, some of the lines on those reports aren’t blank. Another reason you won’t find lots of companies employing lobbyists racking up six-figure expenses is because of interpretations by the State Ethics Commission about what exactly constitutes lobbying. Last year, the commission ruled that companies don’t necessarily have to report all of a lobbyist’s salary. When a lobbyist has responsibilities other than trying to persuade legislators to vote for or against legislation to benefit their clients, then the percentage of their salaries that doesn’t involve lobbying can be deducted. The ruling makes sense in some instances. For example, someone who heads up a trade association, representing companies in the same line of business, will typically do more than lobby. But a more recent ruling by the State Ethics Commission could portend more reporting by companies that employ lobbyists. The September ruling examined the question of whether the a lobbyist’s time spent developing legislative strategy, as opposed directly lobbying or following the legislative process, should be considered a lobbying expense. The commission came up with a “but-for” test to answer the question. But for the effort to lobby legislators, would these activities be taking place? The answer seems obvious. But the interpretation raises the possibility of another test that ought to be put to the firms employing lobbyists: But for the need for lobbying the North Carolina General Assembly, would you be employing a lobbyist? If the answer is no, then shouldn’t the entire lobbyist’s salary be reported as a lobbying expense? The answer isn’t always no. As stated, some registered lobbyists do more than lobbying. But when companies report just a fraction of the salaries of people who essentially live in the Legislative Building when the legislature is in session, the current rules and interpretations may not be sufficient.

Party of fiscal babies N

early every Republican these days calls for tax cuts and lower deficits, and in the same sentence. Point out that these goals clash — that taxes pay for government and not paying for government causes deficits, and the Republican counters, “We must shrink government, instead.” Sure. And you’re just the boys to do it. There hasn’t been a balanced budget since the last Democratic administration. During Froma Harrop the George W.

Letters to the Editor Why didn’t greenway trail construction go to local company? To the Editor: It is not infrequently that letters appear in this space about the inflexibility of enforcement of the City of Sanford’s codes, rules, and regulations. The height of dandelions after a heavy rain was one such letter. Yes, chickens were approved in the backyard, but with a set of rules that rival those of OSHA. Economically and socially Sanford would be better off not to have a nitpicking attitude. Right now, however, creating work for our unemployed should be the number one priority. That is why it should not have awarded a a $1.2 million bid roughly for the first section of the Endor Iron Furnace green way trail to an out of town firm that did not follow the bid requirements. The award should have been in favor of local firm and civic citizen Sanford Paving that followed the bidding rules, Instead, Narron Contracting of Wilson was given the bid. Sanford Contractors, was second in line with a bid $197,000 higher. Spokesman Donnie Oldham spokesman asked, “Do the requirements stay a requirement throughout the process? Or if it’s convenient to the city, do they suddenly become ‘an irregularity?’” City staff told the council they have the right to waive rules such as the one requiring the paperwork from Narron. Write that down for your next encounter with the dandelion inspector. Ironically one argument made by the staff for deviating from their own rules was that a portion of the fund was stimulus funds. Do they believe the stimulus money was actually for Wilson and just being routed through Lee County? These sticklers with paperwork should have stuck with the rules and helped the estimated 6000 people looking for work and kept the money home with Sanford Contractors. They played by the rules. They should have won, and our community with them. KEITH CLARK Sanford

We need to fight human trafficking in China and United States To the Editor: President Obama has left “our” federal government’s bankers in China. For those of you that don’t know, China allows human trafficking, prison labor and forced child labor. For many years baby girls have been killed, left in the woods, or sold to pimps. China has a one child policy, so a pregnant woman with “too many children” might be forced to have an abortion. Many pregnant women who find out that they are going to have a girl will have an abortion. People in China who are limited to one child usually prefer to have a boy because they can work harder than girls, and they think that men who have male children are more manly. Slavery, child prostitution, and “gendercide” are wrong. We need to oppose human trafficking in the United States, China and every other country . CHUCK MANN Greensboro

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

6A / Friday, November 20, 2009 / The Sanford Herald SHANIYA DAVIS MURDERED, FOUND IN SANFORD

EM director thanks volunteers By GORDON ANDERSON anderson@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — When search and rescue teams headed out Monday morning to search for Shaniya Davis in the woods near the Lee-Harnett county line Monday morning, they hoped they’d have 72 people — just enough to fill all the spots required for teams to cover the entire search area. Instead, 310 people showed up — most of them volunteers. Lee County Emergency Management Director Shane Seagroves said he had to turn many more away as well. “We turned countless numbers of volunteers away,� he said. “We were getting to the point where the number could become unmanageable and could have been a safety hazard.� The rest of the story didn’t turn out as well — the workers located Davis’ body Monday afternoon, after covering 459 acres of land in five hours. But Seagroves said the response from people near and far was heartwarming.

BILLY LIGGETT/The Sanford Herald

Police and volunteers gather near N.C. 87 Monday morning before heading back into the woods to search for Shaniya Davis. Davis’ body was discovered later that afternoon. “If there’s one good thing you can take out of this, it’s that the community still cares,� he said. “Without all those volunteers, we wouldn’t have been able to do this. Most of them were from fire departments and law enforcement agencies and other emergency services, but probably 100 of them weren’t affiliated with any-

thing like that.� Agencies which donated manpower included the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office, the Moore County Sheriff’s Office, the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office, the Johnston County Sheriff’s Office, the state Highway Patrol, the State Bureau of Investigation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, fire departments throughout the area, and the American Red Cross. Even police from the U.S. Virgin Islands, who were performing dog training at Sanford’s Tarheel Canine, pitched in. Seagroves said McDonald’s in Sanford donated more than $1,000 in food to the searchers, and the Red Cross donated water and snacks. Seagroves said a cost analysis of the operation showed that it would have cost $80,000 if every volunteer were paid. “It wasn’t any one

VIGIL SET FOR TODAY SANFORD — A local woman hopes people from across the area will join her for a candlelight vigil in memory of Shaniya Davis tonight. The vigil is set for 5 p.m. today at the park near the intersection of James Street and Fields Drive in Sanford. Kathy McIver of Sanford said she doesn’t know Davis or her family but was touched by the case. “It just really touched my heart so bad. It was like someone could have told me it was one of my children,� she said. “I’ve never heard of something so awful in my life, not so close to home. It really hurt. This is for everybody.� McIver said she plans to read some of her own writing, as well as Bible verses.

Program to improve access to criminal records FAYETTEVILLE (MCT) — State Sen. Tony Rand said the criminal history of a Fayetteville man accused of kidnapping 5year-old Shaniya Davis demonstrates the need for more tools to help probation officers do their jobs. “That’s why I have been raising hell and why we have put together this pilot project,� said Rand, who announced this month that he is stepping down as Senate majority leader to become head of the state’s parole and probation system. The pilot program, being set up in Raleigh, provides a database that allows law enforcement, probation officers, court clerks, district attorneys, magistrates and others easy access to all criminal records. Rand said the system should be operating by spring. “If somebody is arrested they can check to see if any other arrest warrants are out there,� Rand said. Under the current system, government officials aren’t always able to share all of a person’s criminal information. The new system may have helped in the case of Mario Andrette McNeill, a Fayetteville man accused of kidnapping, raping and murdering Shaniya on Nov. 10. Shaniya’s body was found Monday in woods south of Sanford. Law officials say additional charges are pending. McNeill has had a lengthy criminal history since 2001, when he was charged with shooting three people. He was sentenced to supervised probation for the shootings, as well as drug charges. McNeill violated terms of his probation and stayed in prison from October 2003 to May 2006. He was charged with drug offenses shortly after getting out and was again sentenced to

Shaniya Continued from Page 1A

Bergamine said no new charges have been filed against Davis as of Thursday night. Police issued the warrant containing the new charges against McNeill after they collected hair and fibers, clothes, and a straw from his 1997

supervised probation. As part of the sentence, McNeill was required to stay free of illegal drugs. While on supervised probation, McNeill was charged with possessing cocaine and, a few months later, with striking a police officer with his vehicle while trying to flee. Despite those charges, a judge in November 2007 changed the status of McNeill’s probation to unsupervised. Wayne Marshburn, head of the probation system for Cumberland County, said probation officers may not have known about the pending charges against McNeill when he was allowed to go on unsupervised probation. In April 2008, Superior Court Judge Jack Thompson put McNeill back on supervised probation for hitting the officer and the cocaine charge. Court records show that Judge E. Lynn Johnson terminated that probation on Oct. 22, six months before it was set to expire. Nineteen days later, police say, McNeill was captured on a video camera carrying Shaniya into a Sanford motel. Her body was found less than a week later. Rand said he did not know the particulars of McNeill’s case. But under the pilot system, he said, everyone involved in the judicial system would have been able to share McNeill’s history and could have made a different determination of whether his probation status should have been changed or terminated. “I think this kind of thing, more clearly than anything else, points out the needs to have this kind of information,� Rand said. “What we’re trying to do is make everybody aware of the data we have concerning a person’s record or lack of record.� — The Fayetteville Observer

Mitsubishi Galant. McNeill is seen in surveillance footage taken on Nov. 10 at the Comfort Suites Hotel in Sanford holding Shaniya in front of an elevator. It has not yet been released whether McNeill allegedly killed her that day or whether he killed her in Sanford. — The Associated Press contributed to this report

Winners were: â?? 1st: Cameron Cox, son of Amy and Gerald Cox â?? 2nd place: Hannah McDuffie, daughter of Donna and Stephen McDuffie â?? 3rd place: Alexandria Baldwin, daughter of Kellie and Timothy Baldwin. The four-week fundraiser earned $8900, of which 100 percent will go towards the purchase of books for Lee County children enrolled in the Lee County Imagination Library program. Program coordinator Lyn Hankins said, “This was a wonderful response from local citizens showing their support for early literacy. These funds will purchase 3,800 books which will be given free of cost to preschool children.â€?

of the state’s budget, because the program is “very important.� If money is easier to come by in the future, he said, then financial aid will be restored to the program. But for now, Smart Start is “just gonna have to cut back, which is regrettable, or look for other funding,� he said. In the Partnership’s office, there are two open positions that are frozen due to the cuts, Hankins said. “We’ve not been able to continue services at the same level. And there’s lots of need in our county,� she said. Hankins said she looks forward to the day when the Partnership can restore its level of service to the community. From here, she said the nonprofit will have to look for other sources of revenue. “We’re going to have to look for other services, other funds to supplement our program,� Hankins said. Due to the recession, she added, all nonprofits are hurting. Kelli Womack, assistant director of Grandma and Grandpa’s Child CareCenter in Sanford, said the Partnership is invaluable. “It’s great for child care centers because (the Partnership has) so much information and resources,� she said. The Partnership has been able to provide the daycare’s employees with assistance in continuing education, Womack said, like funding for classes at Central Carolina Community College and opportunities to attend conferences. Daycares also utilize the Partnership’s resource center, which provides updated information on child care, Womack said. “Right now, we’re just kind of straddling the fence,� said Womack, who admitted that she is currently working without being paid. “Unless things pick up, it doesn’t look good for us. We can’t function if we don’t have

the children here and we certainly can’t expect the parents to keep them here if they can’t afford it. It costs a lot to put a child into daycare, unfortunately.� If the current economic situation continues, Womack said the daycare may not survive. “It would be nice if the state could step in and do more for these kids,� Womack said. “I’d be lying if I said we’re going to be here another five or six years, be cause I don’t know.� Silvia Bayer, site coordinator for the Warren Williams Child Development Center in Sanford, said the cuts have left the center searching for more grants. “This year, it has been a little bit of a struggle with the budget,� she said. “We’ll really appre-

ciate what we have and make sure we spend it wisely and carefully.� Bayer said she would love to see more public awareness about the importance of education and development in the first seven years of life. “In economic times

such as this, we have to make hard decisions,� she said. “But we’re talking about our future. It’s an investment. If we don’t invest in (them), what kind of future will we have?�

been so responsive to the industry part. Now, the industry won’t come here because we don’t have the retail part. You may not like Target, but they want a Target. They want a Chik-Fil-A.� Donnie Hunter, chairman of the EDC, said he agrees that leaders need to pursue different types of industry, but noted that the EDC works within the confines of rules set by the funding boards — the Sanford City Council, the Lee County Board of Commissioners and the Broadway Board of Commissioners. He also said those same groups need to provide infrastructure. “We do need to attract different businesses, and that means spending money on infrastructure. Look at Wilson. We compete with them, and they have a beautiful business park. Should we say ‘if you come, we’ll build it’ or should we say ‘if we build it, you’ll come,’� Hunter said. Much of Hunter’s presentation to the boards focused on clearing up misconceptions of the EDC’s role in the county. “There’s a perception that we’re not being

creative,� he said. “That is absolutely not true. So much of our conversations are trying to determine how to position ourselves at any given moment to give ourselves the best success.� Hunter also noted that the EDC doesn’t make the incentive policy. “I find it curious when I read statements about the EDC’s incentives policy. We don’t have an incentives policy. We don’t rank,� he said. “The incentives policy belongs to the three funding boards.� While there has been talk of changing the incentives policy, those changes would have to come from outside the EDC. Hunter also said the policy is fairly conservative compared to policies elsewhere in the state. “Incentives are what they are, and I respect anyone who is opposed to them philosophically,� he said. “If your incentive policy was on a scale of one to 10 with one being conservative and 10 being very liberal, we might get to one. To be competitive with the game being played today, we need to look at our incentives policy — and not because it’s too lenient. Our policy is a low-risk or no-risk policy.�

STATE BRIEFS

‘Lifers’ can’t shorten sentences By MIKE BAKER Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — North Carolina officials said Thursday that a group of violent inmates who were nearly set free because of a quirky 1970s law that limited a life sentence to 80 years are not eligible to receive good behavior credits that would shorten their sentences. Gov. Beverly Perdue said the credits will only be used to improve an inmate’s chance at parole. If the prisoners were never paroled, the earliest release would be 2054. “I will continue to pursue all legal means of preventing the release of

these inmates without any review by the parole board or any post-release supervision,� Perdue said in a statement. Inmate Bobby Bowden had successfully argued in state courts that his life sentence was defined as 80 years — something Perdue conceded in her statement Thursday. He had also argued that a new sentencing law that began in the early 1980s had cut his time in half and that additional credits — 210 days of good conduct credit, 753 days of meritorious credit and 1,537 days of gaintime credit — made him immediately eligible for unconditional release.

Staples Hughes, the state appellate defender whose office represented Bowden, said it was regrettable the state was spending so much money pursuing an argument that has no legal basis. “They, in essence, are continuing to attempt to defy the rule of law,� Hughes said. “It has long since ceased to be a legal issue. It is simply a political issue and a mechanism for the governor to use to attempt to raise her popularity.� Some of the inmates, most convicted of rape or murder, were set to be released last month. Perdue later blocked the release by arguing that officials

had improperly applied some of the credits. The potential releases appalled victims and their advocates, partially because most of the inmates would be freed without any post-release supervision. Only one would have had official supervision, although those convicted of rape would have to register as sex offenders. A handful of those inmates have been working toward time outside of prison, using volunteer or work-release programs to spend time in society. They can eventually be approved for supervised release by the parole board.

FORT BRAGG

Army limiting media at Palin event By MIKE BAKER Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — The U.S. Army will allow the media limited coverage of Sarah Palin’s appearance at Fort Bragg, but will bar reporters from interviewing her or her supportPalin ers on the post, officials said Thursday. A Fort Bragg spokesman initially said the Army

would ban the media from Palin’s book signing next week, fearing it would turn into political grandstanding against President Barack Obama. After The Associated Press and The Fayetteville Observer protested, Col. Billy Buckner said the post would permit restricted access. A small pool of reporters will be allowed to view and document the event but will be barred from the interviews. The public will be allowed. Buckner said the setup will allow reporters their right to access while

preventing the appearance from turning political — something that officials believe would violate policy. “If media are present, they can capture the imagery of what’s going and sort of the ambiance of what’s taking place,� he said. Fort Bragg, which is base for some 35,000 soldiers, does not hold many promotional events, especially not with political figures. Officials said they worried that media coverage would turn the appearance into a chance for people to express political opinions “directed against the commander in chief.� “The main reason is

to stop this from turning into a political platform,� said Fort Bragg spokesman Tom McCollum. “There are Army regulations that basically prohibit military reservations from becoming political platforms by politicians.� Palin has already agreed not to give a speech, McCollum said. Palin will sign her new book for people and will not stop to pose for photographs, officials said. Palin began a promotional tour this week for her memoir, “Going Rogue,� with plans to travel through several states that were key to the 2008 election, including North Carolina.

Family wants right to sue after man assumed dead RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s appeals court is considering a lawsuit filed after a living man was declared dead, zipped into a body bag and taken to a morgue. State Court of Appeals judges are considering whether to allow the lawsuit, which contends the mistake led to injuries from which Larry D. Green, 34, might never recover, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Thursday. Green’s family and guardian sued officials to recoup money for the 24-hour care that Green needs in the Wilson rest home where he lives. He’s fed through a tube and is bedridden. He needs care 24 hours a day,� said Judith VincentPope, an attorney from Cary who represents Green. “He’s improved so little.� Franklin County officials settled their part of the lawsuit for $1 million this summer. Paramedics from the town of Louisburg are still fighting the lawsuit. A lower-court judge ruled this year that Franklin County’s former medical examiner, J.B. Perdue, should face liability in state courts even though North Carolina law typically gives broad protection to civil servants who make mistakes on the job.

was sentenced Wednesday to 18 months’ probation. Deitz must pay a $500 fine and give up her driver’s license for one year after her car struck and killed 6-year-old Ashley Ramos-Hernandez in August. The girl had gotten off the school bus and was crossing the street when she was hit by Deitz’s sport utility behicle. A police report indicated that Deitz told police the school bus had not activated all its warning signals. Witnesses, though, told police that the signals and markers were properly activated.

FAA glitch causes delays, cancellations at RDU airport RALEIGH (AP) — Some flights were delayed at Raleigh-Durham International Airport and others were canceled because of a problem with the FAA system that collects airline flight plans. Airport spokeswoman Mindy Hamlin says she’s not sure how many flights were affected Thursday. She said most of the problems involved flights to the northeast and Atlanta. Airport officials urged passengers to contact airlines to get flight status updates. A Charlotte-Douglas International Airport spokeswoman did not return a phone call seeking comment. The Federal Aviation Administration said the problem was fixed Thursday morning, but it was unclear how long flights would continue to be affected. A spokesman for the National Air Traffic Controllers Union said controllers were still entering flight plans manually in some locations.

Women found dead miles apart in S.C. acquainted

GASTONIA (AP) — Friends and family say two North Carolina women whose bodies were dumped miles apart in South Carolina knew each other. Multiple media reports Thursday said authorities are investigating the slayings of both Gastonia women as homicides, but haven’t said the cases are connected. The York County, S.C., Sheriff’s Office said a badly burned body spotted on Sunday by a horseback rider in Kings Mountain State Park was that of 30-year-old Randi Dean Saldana. The body of 17-year-old Heather Marie Catterton was discovered three weeks ago about 10 miles away. Catterton’s father said he had seen his daughter and Saldana together. Saldana’s boyfriend said she knew Catterton, but they had little in common because of their age difference.

Salvation Army kettles accepting credit cards

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina shoppers without the spare cash to drop into Salvation Army kettles can charge their good will this holiday season. The red kettles appearing outside Raleigh-area stores Thursday include four equipped with credit card readers to take electronic donations. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that The Salvation Army’s Wake County chapter joins a handful across the country experimenting with plastic. Chapters in Colorado, Texas and Wisconsin last year said they were responding to shoppers who increasingly carry only plastic. Salvation Army administrators credited the cashless kettles as one reason their annual holiday donation campaign set a record of $130 million last year despite the recession.

Pentagon looking for management lapses

Official says Gov. Sanford reporting more trips

By ANNE GEARAN

Gates names West, Clark to lead review

AP National Security Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon said Thursday it will scour its procedures for identifying volatile soldiers hidden in the ranks following the Fort Hood shooting rampage and lapses that might allow others to slip through bureaucratic cracks. “It is prudent to determine immediately whether there are internal weaknesses or procedural shortcomings in the department that could make us vulnerable in the future,� Defense Secretary Robert Gates said. A 45-day emergency investigation will examine personnel, medical, mental health, discharge and other policies in all corners of the vast Defense Department. It will also look at ways to improve security and emergency response at Defense Department facilities. “The shootings at Fort Hood raise a number of troubling questions that demand complete but prompt answers,� Gates told a Pentagon news conference. The quick review will be led by two former Pentagon officials, former Army Secretary Togo West and former Navy chief Vernon Clark. A longer, second review lasting about six months will look at what Gates called “systemic institutional shortcomings.� Gates, who has fired several top officials in three years heading the Pentagon, did not address any possible consequences of the inquiries he announced Thursday. Gates broached little new information about the case of Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the

Defense Secretary Robert Gates, left, accompanied by Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Michael Mullen, gestures during a news conference at the Pentagon, Thursday to discuss the Fort Hood shootings. Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 in the shootings at the Texas military post on Nov. 5. Gates called it disturbing that Hasan has e-mail contact with a radical cleric in Yemen, but stressed that his review is separate from the criminal investigation into Hasan and should not be interpreted as a fingerpointing exercise against Muslims or anyone else. Investigators have said e-mails between Hasan and the imam, Anwar alAwlaki, did not advocate or threaten violence. After the shootings, al-Awlaki’s Web site praised Hasan as a hero. Both Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the chief goal of the Pentagon probe is preventing another such attack and improving future responses by disaster teams.

West was Army secretary in the mid-1990s and later became secretary of veterans affairs. Clark was the chief of naval operations from 2000 to 2005. In 2007, Gates named West co-chairman of a panel created to review rehabilitation care problems at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington and the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. In 1995, as President Bill Clinton’s Army Secretary, West ordered a review of the Army’s racial climate, including whether there were ties between extremist groups and members of the military. The investigation was prompted by the arrests of two paratroopers in connection with the murders of two black people and concerns that the two men may have had ties to white supremacist groups. Gates would not comment Thursday on

whether he considers the Fort Hood attack a terrorist act. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., told a Senate hearing that he does, and urged a government investigation “to learn whether the federal government could have acted in a way that would have prevented these murders from occurring.� Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, questioned whether the government failed to connect dots about Hasan. “We must better understand why law enforcement, intelligence agencies and our military personnel system may have failed in this case,� Collins said. A joint terrorism task force overseen by the FBI learned late last year of Hasan’s repeated contact with al-Awlaki, who encouraged Muslims to kill U.S. troops in Iraq. The FBI said the task force did not refer early information about Hasan to

OVER 90 YEARS EXPERIENCE

WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Robert Gates is putting former Army Secretary Togo West and former Navy chief Vernon Clark in charge of a broad Pentagon review of the circumstances surrounding the Fort Hood shootings. Gates says the 45-day review will look into gaps in how the military identifies service members who might be a threat to others. It also will look at personnel and medical programs, and at how well U.S. bases are able to respond to mass casualty incidents. West was Army secretary in the mid-1990s and later became secretary of veterans affairs. Clark was the chief of naval operations from 2000 to 2005.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford wants to report previously unrecorded flights he took on planes owned by friends and campaign donors, a state ethics official said Thursday even as the governor’s lawyer continued to defend his travel practices. “He provided us with information about each of those flights and requested those be included as an amendment to previous filings,� Herb Hayden, executive director of the State Ethics Commission, said a day after a panel charged the two-term Republican with violations of ethics laws. The number and details of the charges were not to be made public until next week, but the commission’s threemonth probe focused in part on the governor’s travel on state, private and commercial planes. Sanford’s attorney said in a statement the commission’s probe raised questions about only two dozen of more than 770 flights. “Governor Sanford has been a good steward of public resources and has worked hard to ensure his administration adheres to both the letter and the spirit of the law,� said lawyer Butch Bowers. Bowers did not comment specifically on the governor’s request to amend the ethics disclosures. Hayden said the governor provided documents during the commission’s investigation to amend the ethics filings.

superiors because it concluded he wasn’t linked to terrorism. Hasan’s psychiatry supervisors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center had expressed concerns in May 2007 about what they described as Hasan’s “pattern of poor judgment and lack of professionalism.� President Barack Obama already has ordered a review of all intelligence related to Hasan, including his contacts with al-Awlaki, concerns raised about Hasan by some of his medical colleagues, and whether warnings were properly shared and acted upon within government agencies. Results of that inquiry are due Nov. 30.

Doc stands by mammogram advice WASHINGTON (AP) — A member of the independent panel whose new mammogram recommendations have led to confusion defended the task force’s report, saying Thursday that it was based on the most up-todate, accurate information available. Dr. Timothy Wilt, a member of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, stuck by its recommendation that most women don’t need mammograms in their 40s and should get one

every two years starting at 50. The American Cancer Society’s long-standing position has been that women should get annual cancer-screening mammograms starting at age 40. The panel’s recommendations “were based on the most rigorous peer review of up-to-date, accurate information about the evidence about the harms and benefits of treatment,� Wilt said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.� On Wednesday, Health

and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius tried to ease the furor that has erupted since the panel issued its recommendations Monday. She said the task force does “not set federal policy and they don’t determine what services are covered by the federal government.� She advised women to “keep doing what you’ve been doing for years — talk to your doctor about your individual history, ask questions, and make the decision that is right for you.�

Wilt did not take issue with Sebelius’ statement. “Our recommendations support an individualized decision-making process,� he said, and each woman still needs to talk with her doctor to make the most informed decision. The recommendations from the task force have left women confused about whose advice to follow. And opponents of changing health care policy have criticized the new recommendations as an example of what could

be expected from government-managed care. Wilt denied accusations that the recommendations were made to help the government spend less on mammograms. “Costs are not considered at all,� he said. The panel of doctors and scientists concluded that such early and frequent screenings often lead to false alarms and unneeded biopsies, without substantially improving odds of survival for women under 50.

SWINE FLU

Gripes abound on swine flu vaccine

ATLANTA (AP) — When the nation’s swine flu vaccination program began in early October, health officials predicted it was going to be “messy.� They were right. The program has been plagued with problems and information gaps: —Health officials have been terrible at predicting when and how much vaccine would be available. Only about 44 million doses have been shipped so far. Initially, officials said more than three times that would be out by now. —At times vaccine shipments have been inexplicably lopsided. For example, smaller counties in Illinois and California have received the same amount delivered to counties with seven times as many people. —Health officials have stressed that people most at risk for swine flu complications should go to the head of the line, but they haven’t tried to make sure that actually happened. —And despite pledges that they would be transparent about the vaccine

program, some health officials have refused to disclose where all the doses are going, and they have held back on public service announcements telling people who should be coming in for shots. Also, many states were slow to establish Web sites that give vaccination locations. To be fair, health officials say, the government deserves credit for a

herculean effort to develop and distribute a safe and effective vaccine against a deadly virus that was first identified only seven months ago. “You have a brand-new disease that gets identified in April. By October, you have a vaccine for it. By any standards, it’s a miracle,� said Dr. Diane Helentjaris, director of the Virginia Department of Health office handling swine flu response. But complaints have been mounting, with lawmakers this week holding hearings in Washington and elsewhere, pressing for explanations.

“Calls are still coming in to me about, ’Why can’t I get the vaccine?�’ said Andrea Stillman, a Connecticut state senator speaking at a Wednesday hearing in Hartford. She noted reports of uneven distribution within her state, and of places where vulnerable patients can’t get the vaccine. “Obviously we’re very frustrated in southeastern Connecticut,� she said. People are frustrated everywhere, said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine. At a hearing in Washington on Tuesday, she complained of “layers of misinformation and miscommunication.� Arthur Caplan, director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Bioethics, said health officials should have done more to make sure limited doses get to the people most at danger from the virus. And he said they should have been tougher on nurses and other health-care workers who are putting their patients at risk because they declined to get a shot. “It is not working right at all,� Caplan said. In their defense, officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said that the main issue is insufficient vaccine from manufactur-

ers — something CDC can’t control — and that health authorities are doing the best they can. “A lot of this is a function of not having as much vaccine as we would like to have,� said Dr. Anne Schuchat, who heads the agency’s immunization section. The new swine flu, also called 2009 H1N1, has not turned out to be the deadly global disaster that experts have long feared. But it has sickened an estimated 22 million Americans, hospitalized about 98,000 and killed 4,000. It has proved to be similar to seasonal flu but a much bigger threat to children and young adults. There was no vaccine to protect against the new virus, so manufacturers had to create a new one. In July, a government health official estimated 120 million vaccine doses would be available by late October. Later, the government backed away from that estimate when manufacturers couldn’t crank out vaccine so rapidly. The CDC has been coordinating the vaccine campaign, but it is not fully in charge. As a matter of tradition and law, states have had more public health authority than the federal government.

Newspaper accused of plagiarism HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A small, family-owned Connecticut newspaper sued the state’s largest newspaper Thursday, saying it repeatedly plagiarized stories after cutting its own reporting staff to save money. The Journal Inquirer of Manchester accuses the Hartford Courant of “pirating� at least 11 local news stories in August and September, then publishing them as its own work under Courant reporters’ bylines. The Journal Inquirer’s lawsuit, filed Thursday in Hartford Superior Court, alleges the Courant violated the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act and federal copyright law. It seeks at least $15,000 in damages, plus court and attorney fees. It claims the Courant saved money by cutting back on some local coverage, then took credit for its smaller competitor’s work on bread-and-butter stories such as town zoning board actions, school administrator appointments and local political skirmishes. “Either hire reporters to cover these towns or don’t. Their intent in taking our work was malicious and they did wrong, and they need their knuckles rapped over it,� said Chris Powell, managing editor of the Journal Inquirer, which covers 17 towns north and east of Hartford. Messages were left Thursday for Courant representatives. Editor Naedine Hazell said the newspaper expected to issue a comment once it had a chance to review the lawsuit. The Courant’s CEO and publisher, Richard Graziano, acknowledged in September that the Courant had plagiarized his competitors, apologized to readers with a note on the opinion page, said it was not intentional and promised “corrective action� to prevent repeat occurrences.

NATION BRIEFS Rain may put pumpkin pie in holiday peril

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The holidays may not be so sweet this year. Nestle — which sells nearly all the canned pumpkin in the U.S. — says poor weather hurt its harvest, creating a potential shortage of its Libby’s pumpkin pie products through the holidays. In a statement to customers this week, Nestle said heavy rains made it nearly impossible to pick its pumpkins during this year’s harvest. The longer the pumpkins sit in the muddy fields, the more they deteriorate. As a result, Nestle said this week that it would not pack any more pumpkins this year, which means it may be hard to find its canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie filling product until next year’s harvest. “Mother nature had other plans for us,� the company said in an open apology to customers online.

Grinch! North Pole irked at end to Santa replies

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Starry-eyed children writing letters to the jolly man at the North Pole this holiday season likely won’t get a response from Santa Claus or his helpers. The U.S. Postal Service is dropping a popular national program begun in 1954 in the small Alaska town of North Pole, where volunteers open and respond to thousands of letters addressed to Santa each year. Replies come with North Pole postmarks. Last year, a postal worker in Maryland recognized an Operation Santa volunteer there as a registered sex offender. The postal worker interceded before the individual could answer a child’s letter, but the Postal Service viewed the episode as a big enough scare to tighten rules in such programs nationwide.

Did White House overplay job data?

People in North Pole are incensed by the change, likening the Postal Service to the Grinch trying to steal Christmas. The letter program is a revered holiday tradition in North Pole, where light posts are curved and striped like candy canes and streets have names such as Kris Kringle Drive and Santa Claus Lane. Volunteers in the letter program even sign the response letters as Santa’s elves and helpers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government watchdog overseeing economic stimulus spending said Thursday that, in its rush to take credit for saving hundreds of thousands of jobs, the Obama administration was overly confident in its job-counting and did not acknowledge significant errors in the figures. Numbers released last month identified more than 640,000 jobs linked to stimulus projects around the country. Despite warning signs that the numbers were flawed, the White House said the public could have confidence in them and they proved the administration was on track save or create 3.5 million jobs by the end of next year. Since then, tens of thousands of problems have been documented, from the substantive to the clerical. Republicans have been able to use those flaws to attack what so far is the signature domestic policy of Obama’s presidency. The criticism has resonated, even though

FAA glitch causes widespread U.S. air travel delays ATLANTA (AP) — Air travelers nationwide scrambled to revise their plans Thursday after an FAA computer glitch caused widespread cancellations and delays for the second time in 15 months. The Federal Aviation Administration said the problem, which lasted about four hours, was fixed around 9 a.m., but it was unclear how long flights would be affected. It started when a single circuit board in a piece of networking equipment at a computer center in Salt Lake City failed around 5 a.m., the FAA said in a statement. That failure prevented air traffic control computers in different parts of the country from talking to each other. Air traffic controllers were forced to type in complicated flight plans themselves because they could not be transferred automatically from computers in one region of the country to computers in another, slowing down the whole system. Two large computer centers in Salt Lake City and near Atlanta were affected, as well as 21 regional radar centers around the country. Delays were particularly bad at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world’s busiest. The glitch also exacerbated delays caused by bad weather in the Northeast, with airports in the Chicago, Washington, D.C., and New York metro areas reporting problems.

economic data shows that overall government efforts, from President George W. Bush’s bank bailout to President Barak Obama’s stimulus, have improved the economy. Fewer than 1 in 10 Americans think the stimulus has created any jobs so far, according to a CBS News poll this week. Earl Devaney, the watchdog whose group compiled and released the job data, said he could not certify the numbers were correct. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., asked whether the administration should have been more conservative and acknowledged it had “no idea� whether the jobs were being counted correctly. “Wouldn’t that be a fairer way to put it?� Issa said. “I like that statement,� Devaney replied. The White House said Thursday that it had been up front about the errors. Spokeswoman Elizabeth Oxhorn noted that, on the day the figures were released, Vice President Joe Biden said, “This is an un-

Astronauts get work done in 1st spacewalk CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A pair of spacewalking astronauts, one of them a surgeon, hustled through antenna and cable work outside the International Space Station on Thursday and even whipped off an extra chore. Atlantis crewmen Michael Foreman and Dr. Robert Satcher Jr. had a

They also hooked up cables and a handrail, and greased some mechanisms, zooming two hours ahead at one point. “You guys are rocking the house,� astronaut Randolph Bresnik called from inside the linked

shuttle-station complex. As Satcher — the first orthopedic surgeon in space — lubricated snares for a robot arm, Bresnik observed “it is a thing of beauty to see the good doctor at work.� “We have photographic evidence of the highest recorded orthopedic surgery — ever,� Bresnik said.

Foreman, meanwhile, had his hands full of wire ties needed to secure a slew of cables and other gear. He joked before the mission he was known as the wire-tie king, and that he was going after the 100 mark. His crewmates inflated it just a bit. “Welcome to the thousand wire-tie club, Mike,� Bresnik said.

REVIEWS

‘Precious’ both illuminates, exploits

‘Blind Side’ full of cardboard characters

O

nly an AfricanAmerican filmmaker could get away with making Precious. That’s meant as both a compliment and a criticism. Officially known as “Precious: Based on the Novel PUSH by Sapphire,� the film has been a runaway train of accolades since its Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award wins at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, with a final destination undoubtedly bound for the Academy Awards. Set in the mean streets of Harlem circa 1987, it is a story of inspiration and uplift that shines a light onto a world that is both foreign and, thankfully, unfamiliar to most people. Unfortunately, it is equal parts illumination and exploitation, a prefabricated passion play as pretentious as its full title. It is not that the horrific life endured by obese, illiterate teenager Chaireece “Precious� Jones (Gabourey Sidibe) is far-fetched. You need only to peruse the morning newspaper or the nightly TV news to know that the world is an unspeakably brutal place for a great many people. The cruel hand that life deals to Precious includes poverty, being repeatedly raped and impregnated twice by her absentee father (the first child afflicted with Down syndrome), and suffering constant physical and emotional abuse from her welfare mom, Mary (Mo’Nique). Precious’ hulking mass acts as both a prison and protection from harrowing reality, her lone means of escape a vivid imagination in which she walks Hollywood red carpet premieres and

Old photographs of her mother become animated in her mind’s eye, uttering the loving words never breathed by the fleshand-blood incarnation. Sometimes, Precious’ own reflection in the mirror morphs into the image of a blond, white girl. That Precious harbors self-loathing is painful but understandable. What is regrettable is the extent to which producer-director Lee Daniels himself indulges, even perpetuates, the racial stereotypes a film of this sort should transcend. In one scene, Precious steals and scarfs down an entire bucket of fried chicken (not exactly Jean Valjean pinching bread to feed his family). Virtually all the innocent and/or benevolent figures in Precious’ life are cast with light-skinned actors. And, without proper context, you could be excused for walking out of Precious believing the welfare rolls are filled primarily with uneducated, dys-

functional, AIDS-infested freeloaders who regard their children as a means to a welfare check to subsidize their indolence. That segment of the population exists, no doubt. The sin here, however, is a lack of perspective. The cure for Precious’ harsh home-life proves to be her GED prep class, whose only dissimilarity with a setting like Freedom Writers and its ilk is that the teacher here, Blu Rain (Paula Patton), isn’t Caucasian. Precious also enjoys helping hands from a welfare caseworker (a glammed-down Mariah Carey) and hospital nurse (Lenny Kravitz). That would be well and good were it not for a scene late in the film in which Precious befriends another young girl at the welfare office whose vicious mother reminds Precious of her own. The message is clear and misguided: The fault lies not with government or philanthropic support systems but with those who either misuse

or reject them. It is a viewpoint born, like the film, out of selfcongratulatory, limousine liberalism — quite literally in the case of co-producer Oprah Winfrey, who was so touched by this movie that she vowed to look twice at the forgotten street-corner souls she passes while cruising by in her’s. The near-total absence of men is fitting given the involvement of both O. and co-producer Tyler Perry, who has made millions dressing in drag and peddling his own farcical interpretations of African-American women. Precious’ psyche unmasks Daniels’ pretension when she inserts her and her mother as the Italian-speaking protagonists in Vittorio De Sica’s Two Women, a peculiar fantasy considering Precious reads at a second-grade level and confesses that Ms. Rain and her lesbian lover “talked liked TV stations I didn’t even watch.� Moreover, Daniels betrays a predilection for the most salacious elements of his character’s misery.

are intercut with images of sweat, Vaseline, frying bacon, and pig’s feet simmering in a stovetop stew. And then there’s Mo’Nique’s highly touted performance, which is volcanic and emotionally raw. Her despicable, almost cartoonish virago is also among the vilest fictional characters ever put on film (on a par with Dennis Hopper’s Frank Booth in Blue Velvet and Dylan Baker’s pedophile in Happiness). Only during a latefilm monologue does she finally approach anything close to a three-dimensional person, but in the event you’re tempted to view her as the least bit human, the reproving glare of Carey’s Mrs. Weiss is there to set you straight. Precious is nicely produced, well-acted, enlightening, and both culturally and racially deplorable. In other words, D.W. Griffith would have been proud.

nother tale of racial and cultural sanctimony masquerading as story of hope and inspiration is the essence of The Blind Side, a Sandra Bullock vehicle about a well-heeled Memphis family who become guardians to a homeless, teenage man-child, Michael Oher (newcomer Quinton Aaron), in hopes of improving his life, grades, and, oh by the way, the gentle giant’s chances at a college scholarship to play offensive left tackle at the University of Mississippi. Based on a true story and adapted from author Michael Lewis’ 2006 football-focused novel, director John Lee Hancock makes a point of emphasizing that Sean and Leigh Ann Tuohy (Tim McGraw and Bullock) are conservative NRA-members, presumably so we won’t reflexively cast them as typical, liberal dogooders. No problem, since the lone moment in this formulaic film that holds any complexity is when the NCAA investigates the Tuohys – rapid Ole Miss backers, coincidentally enough – and Big Mike’s high school coach for recruiting violations. Of course, that conflict, like every other throughout the movie, dissipates in quick and cursory fashion. The cardboard cutout characters come to life only during a closing credits montage of the actual people involved. Until then, the rest of The Blind Side is like Bullock’s faux-Southern lilt: grating, trite, and phony.

‘Planet 51’ is no Pixar By Neil Morris

A

n American astronaut, Charles T. Baker (voiced by Dwayne Johnson), lands on the faraway Planet 51, inhabited by little green people who have a hearty fear of, well, aliens. The world is draped in a 1950s Americana pastiche, and the film itself plays off some ‘50s alien invasion conventions – the plot itself is essentially a dumbeddown version of The Day the Earth Stood Still. Of course, that era’s schlock was essentially a metaphor for Cold War paranoia, and there is no such political or social subtext found in this unfunny, derivative timewaster. Like writer Joe Stillman’s Shrek flicks, pop cultural references litter the landscape. Constant, inane one-liners land like moon rocks, and even the parallel historical mash-ups have no internal logic: The aliens’ nascent technology includes rotary phones, black-and-white TV, and ‌ hovercraft? Want to imagine how the folks at Pixar might handle this material? Go rent The Iron Giant.

‘Jon & Kate’ ends its stormy run

NEW YORK (AP) — You might say our national nightmare is over. Or is it just a TV series? In any case, TLC’s reality show “Jon & Kate Plus 8� will end its spectacular but stormy run Monday at 9 p.m. During this final hour, Jon and Kate Gosselin, the estranged parents of young twins and sextuplets, will venture on separate outings with the kids. (Jon will take them to a fire station near the family home in Wernersville, Pa. With Kate, they visit a local dairy farm.) Individually, each newly single parent will reflect on what the past has meant and what the future might hold. And that will be that, says TLC. It would seem the series is going out with a grateful sigh of relief, if not a whimper, after months in the midst of noise and upheaval. The feuding couple’s split came to dominate the series, as well as helping fuel a firestorm of tabloid coverage. It was all good for ratings, of course. When the pair made their separation official on a “Jon & Kate� episode that aired in June, it was seen by a remarkable 10.6 million viewers. After that, production and airing of the series

Their show, “Jon & Kate Plus 8� will air its finale Monday. lurched in fits and starts to accommodate the Gosselins’ unraveling home life. Outside the show, both Jon and Kate made dueling he-said-she-said appearances on the talkshow circuit. It was all quite a change from 2007, when the series first clicked with viewers for its heartwarming look at a devoted couple and the challenges they faced rearing eight young children. Then, in September, a revamped series was announced. “Jon & Kate Plus 8� was meant to segue smoothly into “Kate Plus Eight� this month, concentrating on the kids and their mom. TLC’s president and general manager, Eileen

O’Neill, described the new concept as “not a huge shift,� and said Jon Gosselin would still be involved, though in a reduced role. But that plan was apparently torpedoed by his objections to having the children displayed any longer on TV. Any filming of the kids has been halted for weeks. “’Kate Plus Eight’ is not in production,� TLC spokeswoman Laurie Goldberg said Thursday. “We are focusing on the launch of Kate’s new series in early spring.� She said no details were available on what kind of show it might be. For now, a case of viewer fatigue with the Gosselins and their domestic drama might be understandable. A pair

of episodes premiering earlier this week averaged 2.1 million viewers. Meanwhile, safely off-screen, the drama continues. Along with the divorce battle between the Gosselins, who’ve been wed for a decade, the end of “Jon & Kate� leaves unresolved a thicket of lawsuits entangling the warring spouses and the network. Recently, Jon Gosselin filed a lawsuit against TLC, claiming television producers violated Pennsylvania’s child labor laws in filming the show. It was filed in response to a network lawsuit alleging Gosselin failed to meet his obligations to TLC. (The network has said it retains an exclusive talent arrangement with him, as well as the rest of the family.) In a separate matter, Gosselin was ordered to return $180,000 to a joint account he shared with his estranged wife. But none of that need trouble viewers who are ready for a break. The final fade-out of “Jon & Kate� is nigh. Then sweetness will replace any bitter aftertaste in the “Jon & Kate� time slot, soon to be inherited by baker Buddy Valastro and his reality series “Cake Boss.�

Oprah to announce Friday show will end in 2011 CHICAGO (AP) — Oprah Winfrey’s iconic television talk show will end in 2011 after 25 seasons on the air, her production company said Thursday. Winfrey plans to announce the final date for “The Oprah Winfrey Show� on a live Friday broadcast, according to Chicago-based Harpo Productions Inc. Winfrey started her broadcasting career in Nashville, Tenn., and Baltimore, Md., before relocating to Chicago in 1984 to host WLS-TV’s morning talk show “A.M. Chicago.� That show was renamed “The Oprah Winfrey Show� in 1985. A year later, Winfrey established Harpo and her talk show went into syndication. In 1990, Winfrey opened Harpo Studios in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood. Over the years, Winfrey drew Chicago into her spotlight. In September, she drew more than 20,000 fans to a taping of her show on Michigan Avenue. A tearful Winfrey was in Chicago’s Grant Park as Barack Obama was elected president.

Chris Brown gets ‘extremely favorable’ report LOS ANGELES (AP) — Chris Brown has received an “extremely favorable� report from probation officials overseeing his felony assault case, a judge said Thursday. Brown appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom to offer a judge his first progress report since being sentenced for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna earlier this year. He talked and laughed with his lawyer before the hearing, which took less than 10 minutes. The R&B singer is serving five years of probation and must attend domestic violence counseling and perform six months of community labor in Virginia. Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, says Brown has already done 100 hours of community labor in Richmond, Va. Los Angeles Patricia Schnegg said Brown has also paid all of his court-ordered fees and fines. Both Brown and Rihanna are trying to put the beating behind them by focusing on their careers. Rihanna has a popular new single titled “Russian Roulette.� Brown is due to release his third album on Dec. 8.

Parker-Broderick surrogate takes stand in Ohio ST.

Michelle Ross, 26, testified that ultrasound photos, surrogacy files and tax information were gone when she returned, that someone had riffled through photos; and that a plaster cast of her abdomen from when she was pregnant with her own son was misplaced. Ross’ testimony came in the trial in Belmont County Common Pleas Court of suspended Police Chief Barry Carpenter of Martins Ferry, where Ross lived. He is accused of breaking into her home in May and then trying to sell items related to the pregnancy to paparazzi, with the help of Police Chief Chad Dojack of neighboring Bridgeport.

WORLD BRIEFS

Muslim countries seek blasphemy ban

GENEVA (AP) — Four years after cartoons of the prophet Muhammad set off violent protests across the Muslim world, Islamic nations are mounting a campaign for an international treaty to protect religious symbols and beliefs from mockery — essentially a ban on blasphemy that would put them on a collision course with free speech laws in the West. Documents obtained by The Associated Press show that Algeria and Pakistan have taken the lead in lobbying to eventually bring the proposal to a vote in the U.N. General Assembly. If ratified in countries that enshrine freedom of expression as a fundamental right, such a treaty would require them to limit free speech if it risks seriously offending religious believers. The process, though, will take years and no showdown is imminent. The proposal faces stiff resistance from Western countries, including the United States, which in the past has brushed aside other U.N. treaties, such as one on the protection of migrant workers.

WEATHER TRIVIA

Experts say the bid stands some chance of eventual success if Muslim countries persist. And whatever the outcome, the campaign risks reigniting tensions between Muslims and the West that President Barack Obama has pledged to heal, reviving fears of a “clash of civilizations.� Four years ago, a Danish newspaper published cartoons lampooning the prophet Muhammad, prompting angry mobs to attack Western embassies in Muslim countries, including Lebanon, Iran and Indonesia. In a countermovement, several European newspapers reprinted the images. The countries that form the 56-member Organization of the Islamic Conference are now lobbying a little-known Geneva-based U.N. committee to agree that a treaty protecting religions is necessary. The move would be a first step toward drafting an international protocol that would eventually be put before the General Assembly — a process that could take a decade or more. The proposal may

have some support in the General Assembly. For several years the Islamic Conference has successfully passed a nonbinding resolution at the General Assembly condemning “defamation of religions.� If the treaty was approved, any of the U.N.’s 192 member states that ratified it would be bound by its provisions. Other countries could face criticism for refusing to join. Just last month, the Obama administration came out strongly against efforts by Islamic nations to bar the defamation of religions, saying the moves would restrict free speech. “Some claim that the best way to protect the freedom of religion is to implement so-called antidefamation policies that would restrict freedom of expression and the freedom of religion,� Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said. “I strongly disagree.� But there are signs the U.S. is worried by the Islamic Conference campaign. Behind the scenes it has been lobbying hard to quash the proposal,

dispatching a senior U.S. diplomat to Geneva last month for talks described as akin to trench warfare. “The U.S. presence can be significant in determining the whole destiny of the process,� said Lukas Machon, who represents the International Commission of Jurists at the U.N. From a legal point of view, “the whole exercise is dangerous from A-Z because it’s a departure from the practice and concept of human rights,� Machon said. “It adds only restrictions.� In a letter obtained by the AP, Pakistan said insults against religion were on the increase. The Islamic Conference “believes that the attack on sacredly held beliefs and the defamation of religions, religious symbols, personalities and dogmas impinge on the enjoyment of human rights of followers of those religions,� the letter said. It was sent last month to members of the Ad Hoc Committee on Complementary Standards, a temporary committee created to consider a previous anti-racism treaty.

IRAN

World powers weigh new sanctions SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — President Barack Obama said Thursday that the six nations dealing with Iran’s nuclear program will develop a package of serious new punitive measures in coming weeks. The European Union said the six would gather immediately to begin consultations. The EU said diplomats would meet in Brussels Friday to consider Iran’s apparent rejection of a U.N. plan to ship its lowenriched uranium abroad so that it could not be further enriched to make weapons. Talk of sanctions showed that Obama is preparing for the next phase should Iran fail to meet his year-end deadline for progress in negotiations. The Brussels meeting will include the U.N. Security Council’s permanent members — Britain, China, France, Russia and the U.S. — plus Germany, EU foreign affairs spokeswoman Cristina Gallach said. She said it would bring together foreign ministry officials from the six nations “to take stock of the situation.� Iran announced on Wednesday it would not export its enriched uranium for further processing, effectively rejecting the

latest plan brokered by the International Atomic Energy Agency. That plan aimed to delay Tehran’s ability to build a nuclear weapon by sending most of the uranium needed for that out of the country.

EUROPE

Belgian-British duo wins race for EU’s top jobs BRUSSELS (AP) — EU leaders on Thursday handed the European Union’s top new jobs to two little-known compromise figures — Belgium’s prime minister and the EU’s trade commissioner — dashing hopes of those who wanted to raise the continent’s global profile. The choice caps years of choppy efforts to give a united Europe a voice on the world stage commensurate with its economic heft. The EU leaders agreed on trade commissioner Catherine Ashton of Britain as the EU’s new foreign policy chief and Belgian Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy as its president, diplomats said. But their appointments suggested the need for compromise outweighed the desire for big names like Tony Blair, the former British leader who was once considered a leading contender for the presidential job.

CANES PLACE STAAL, WARD ON INJURED LIST RALEIGH (AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes have placed goalie Cam Ward and All-Star center Eric Staal on the injured list. The team said on Thursday that Ward was put on the longterm injured list, while Staal was placed on injured list. Ward has been out nearly two weeks since his leg was sliced by a skate. Staal has been out since Nov. 1 with an upper body injury. The Hurricanes recalled right wing Patrick Dwyer from Albany of the AHL to fill a roster spot. Dwyer is eligible to make his season debut with Carolina on Thursday night against Toronto.

PITTSBORO — Bill Hall insists that the Northwood Chargers have moved on. Other than an extensive conversation about it on Monday, Hall says that the team hasn’t really thought about its first and only loss of the season to South Granville, in a game where

Northwood turned the ball over five times en route to a 27-7 loss. The Chargers (11-1), a No. 5 seed, will get another shot at the Vikings (9-3) when the two meet at 7:30 tonight in the second round of the 2-AA state playoffs at South Granville High School. With a win, the Chargers will move on to the third round of the playoffs for the fourth straight year.

During that conversation on Monday, Hall told his team not to take South Granville lightly. He says that the Vikings, a No. 4 seed in the playoffs and the top seed from the 1A/2A Carolina-9 Conference, are even better now than they were when the two teams met back on Oct. 23. “I told them that South

CHICAGO (AP) — Some teams lost money in 2009, baseball commissioner Bud Selig said Thursday after the final owners meeting of the year. “There was no question about that,” Selig said. “I don’t think the concerns have been ameliorated at all. I think the concerns are still there because all these people have their own economists.” Selig said final figures for this year are still being calculated and everyone is living in the most difficult economic times since the Great Depression. He declined to identify the teams.

LAURINBURG — The Central Carolina Cougars handled their first game as a ranked team just fine.

Preseason All-American Adrian Jones led Central Carolina (6-1) with 22 points and 10 rebounds while Travis Jackson added 17 points. Dejan Brown and Anthony Newby had 13 points each while Jerome Perkins had 12.

NEW YORK (AP) — Allen Iverson has cleared waivers and is free to sign with any NBA team. The former MVP was waived Tuesday after playing only three games with the Memphis Grizzlies and no team claimed him in the following 48 hours, making him a free agent. The New York Knicks are discussing whether they want to bring in the 34-year-old guard. Iverson was unhappy coming off the bench last season in Detroit and this season with the Grizzlies, so there isn’t expected to be much interest in him.

Wins and losses don’t mean Lincecum much anymore when it comes time for voters to pick baseball’s best pitchers. It’s all about WHIP, FIP, BABIP and other lines of alphabet soup. “It’s turned into a game of complete numbers and statistics and what people do with that,” Lincecum said. Lincecum won the Cy Young Award on Thursday for the second straight year, emerging from one of the tightest votes in the history of the honor to become the first repeat winner since Randy Johnson. Only 10 points separated the top three vote-getters. Chris Carpenter was second and St. Louis teammate Adam Wainwright finished third despite getting the most first-place votes.

The Yellow Jackets (1-1) trailed 31-22 at halftime, but rallied to take a 57-50 lead with 4:37 to play on a layup by Zachery Peacock. Maurice Miller and Derrick Favors led Georgia Tech with 10 points apiece and Gani

Granville is a much better football team this time around,� said Hall. “They’ve done everything right with their personnel. Their coach has done a great job with that program. At the same time, I also feel like we’re better than were back then, too. We just have to play smart and get after it.� Despite being unbeaten on the road this season, Hall doesn’t think that Northwood has an advantage in the rematch. In the loss, the Vikings defeated the Chargers in Pittsboro. “They’ve got the advantage,� said Hall. “Our kids know that they are about 20-points better than us because they beat us earlier. Until we play better than we did the last time, they’re going to have the advantage over us. We’d much rather be playing at home than playing on the road, that’s for sure.� This time around, the Chargers have a healthy offensive line. In the last meeting, the Chargers had just one starter on the offensive line. The others were either sick or injured. The lack of experience on the offensive line is one thing that Hall says hurt the Chargers in that loss. With the O-line fully healthy, Hall feels better about Northwood’s chances against South Granville. “Our offensive line is much healthier now,� said Hall. “Everyone participated at practice and they looked great. The

No. 5 Villanova clips George Mason SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Freshman Isaiah Armwood hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 17 seconds left, rallying No. 5 Villanova past George Mason 69-68 Thursday in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Puerto Rico Tip-Off. Armwood won it for the Wildcats (3-0) with his only shot of the game. He played just four minutes and came off the bench after Antonio Pena and Taylor King both fouled out. George Mason (2-1) led by 13 points in the first half. The Patriots never trailed until late in the second half, but didn’t get off a shot after Armwood’s basket.

last time, we had just one starter that participated all week in practice and in the game. That’s what hurt us.� Take away the five turnovers from the last meeting and the score certainly would have been closer than it actually was. The Chargers had three turnovers in the red zone, whichkept points off the scoreboard. On first-and-goal on the 3-yard line, the Chargers fumbled the ball and the Vikings recovered. With about 2:00 remaining before halftime, the Chargers had another fumble on the 17-yard line. In the third quarter, quarterback Sam Griffin threw one of his three interceptions when the Chargers were on the 5. The ball was taken back 95 yards for the touchdown. “I can also promise you that we won’t turn the ball over five times again,� said Hall. “That’s what killed us in the last game. You take away those turnovers and that’s a different ballgame. We might turn the ball over this time, but I can assure you that it won’t be five times.� The Chargers are excited to get another shot at the Vikings. However, Hall says that the team is more excited about playing playoff football than anything. “We’re excited that we get to play this late in the year,� said Hall. “That’s really all that’s on our mind. We’re excited that we get an opportunity to get to the third round for the fourth straight year. We’re looking forward to getting out there and playing.�

Syracuse’s Kris Joseph (32) and Arinze Onuaku, block a shot attempt by California’s Omondi Amoke during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game Thursday at Madison Square Garden in New York.

’Cuse romps by Cal NEW YORK (AP) — Scoop Jardine scored a career-high 22 points, Wes Johnson had 17 points and 11 rebounds, and Syracuse raced past No. 13 California 95-73 on Thursday night in the semifinals of the 2K Sports Classic. Arinza Onuaku added 12 points for the Orange, who made Madison Square Garden feel like home in the tournament benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer. Syracuse will play No. 6 North Carolina or No. 15 Ohio State for the championship on Friday night.

Syracuse confounded the Bears (2-1) from the tip with coach Jim Boeheim’s trademark zone defense, building a double-digit lead by halftime. Cal star Jerome Randle finished with 25 points, while Jamal Boykin had 14 and Patrick Christopher 12. No. 4 Kentucky outlasts Sam Houston State 102-92 LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — DeMarcus Cousins had 27 points and 18 rebounds to help No. 4 Kentucky outlast Sam Houston State 102-92 on Thursday night in the

Cancun Challenge. Patrick Patterson had 20 points and nine boards and John Wall added 21 points and six assists as the Wildcats (3-0) overcame a recordsetting shooting performance by the Bearkats (2-1). Sam Houston State (2-1) hung around deep into the second half behind stellar 3-point shooting, led by senior guard Corey Allmond, who poured in 37 points and made a Rupp Arena record 11 3-pointers. The Bearkats made 18 of 38 3-pointers and never let Kentucky get comfortable.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — University of Kansas officials are willing to talk with former players about allegations of abusive behavior by football coach Mark Mangino — and two former players had plenty to say on Thursday. Former Jayhawks receiver Raymond Brown recalled Mangino how in 2007, after his younger brother was wounded in a shooting near his home in St. Louis, teammates gathered around and warmly pledged their support. A few days later, Brown said, an angry Mangino ordered him to the sideline during practice and made a shockingly insensitive comment. “He went off on me yelling, which is fine,� Brown told The Associated Press. “I kept saying, ’Yes, sir, yes, sir,’ to everything he was saying. A teammate asked me what happened. Then he started on me again and I said, ’Yes, sir,’ and he said, ’Don’t you ’yes sir’ me. I’ll send you back to St. Louis where you can get shot by your homies.�’ Brown and another former player also told the AP that Mangino made insensitive comments about a player’s father being an alcoholic. Mangino declined to return calls Thursday but defended himself later Thursday night on his weekly radio program, saying there were “people who are embarrassing this program just for their 15 minutes of fame.�

the two teams in the area get to play one another, it’s exciting. I’d like to actually turn it into a real rivalry by getting a victory in the series. Until we do that, it’s just another nonconference game for us.” Cavaliers coach Gaston Collins feels otherwise. The second-year coach thinks that as long as there’s two teams in one town, it’s always going to be a rivalry no matter the outcome because the community enjoys it. “I think having two teams from the same town playing against each other is a great thing for the community,” said Collins. “The community enjoys seeing two rivals playing against each other and the kids love it, too.” The last time the Yellow Jackets and Cavaliers played, former Southern Lee superstar Akeem Richmond drilled a 3-pointer in the final seconds of the fourth quarter to give the Cavaliers a 64-62 victory in Lee County’s gym. This year, however, the Cavaliers won’t have a true go-to guy like they had in Richmond. Collins is going to need the entire team to contribute and be ready. “We’re going to be counting on a variety of different guys to step up whenever

their number is called,” said Collins. “It’s going to be a team effort. Different guys are going to step up for us on different occasions.” The Yellow Jackets (1-0) opened their season with a 52-43 win over Carrboro on Tuesday night. Dante Rigsby was the top scorer for Lee County with 14 points. Dillon Teel and Russell Tatum each scored 10 in the victory. “We did several things right the other night,” said Peace. “The things we didn’t do well on, we feel are very correctable mistakes. We’ve been coaching them up this week at practice. We hope that we’ll play better against Southern than we did against Carrboro.” The Cavaliers (0-1), on the other hand, started off the season on the wrong foot, falling 59-45 to West Bladen on Wednesday night. DeShawn Bush had 16 points and Ace Chalmers had seven in the loss. Tonight’s game will be the home opener for the Cavaliers. After the loss, Collins feels that getting a win would do wonders for the young Cavaliers’ psyche. “I think it’s real big for us to get a win to improve our confidence,” said Collins. “We’ve got a young group of guys and it’s real easy for them to get down on themselves. I think any win is good for us. After this game, we have 10 days off. We’d love

to go into this break with a win under our belt.” Collins feels that playing the Yellow Jackets will be a true test of his team’s character. “We’ll find out what kind of team we have,” said Collins. “How will we respond after a tough loss the other night? Will we come out fired up and ready to play? Or will we sulk and pout? I think this game will be a true test of our team’s character. Lee County’s going to make it tough on us, so it’s good to find out what kind of team we are early in the season.” Southern Lee’s ability to hit the outside shot makes Peace a little worried about the Cavaliers. “Southern Lee is very athletic,” said Peace. “They’ve got a lot of talented shooters and they know how to hit the outside shot. They’ve got some good athletes and some good shooters. It’s not going to be easy for us.” It’s the confidence and the coaching of Peace that makes Collins wary of the Yellow Jackets. “They’ve got an excellent coach in Reggie,” said Collins. “He knows the game real well and knows how to put his team in positions to win. They are also coming off a win, so I’m sure they’ve got a lot of confidence headed into this game. We’re coming off a loss and our confidence isn’t so high.”

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Woman’s size is no deterrent in her search for lasting love DEAR ABBY: I’m 32 and a “large girl.” I am also intelligent, witty and fun to be around. I make friends wherever I go. The problem is my mother -- who is also big -- keeps telling me that heavy women are not desirable and we must “settle” when it comes to choosing a mate. My mother has had two long, unhappy marriages. She’s always saying I think too highly of myself and my standards for men are out of my reach. Abby, I would rather remain single than marry someone I’m not happy with just to have a man. I’m not looking for a movie star; I just want to find someone I’m attracted to and who has the same values and ideals that I have. Is Mother right? Am I setting my sights too high?

However, if you want more, then cross your fingers and keep looking. Meeting “The One” is a matter of putting yourself out there, and luck and timing. There are worse things than being alone, and having two long and unhappy marriages ranks right up there. Just look at your mother. ❏ DEAR ABBY: A year ago, my boss was diagnosed with cancer. She had

major surgery and a round of radiation therapy. Last week, her doctor discovered a mass, and after biopsy, she may be going in for more surgery. I am finding it difficult to show much empathy for my boss. Despite having had the disease she continues to live an unhealthy lifestyle. She still smokes, has a couple of drinks a day and eats a lot of red meat. I don’t drink or smoke and I’m a vegetarian, so I can’t understand why a person would risk her health by doing these things. We have received several newsletters at work from our insurance provider on how to prevent cancer, but she hasn’t taken any of the advice. Abby, it’s not like I have come right out and said, “It’s your own fault,” but it’s frustrating to listen to her problems when she won’t try to live a healthy lifestyle. She’s generally whiny to begin with, and now she seems to want everyone to feel sorry for her. What do I need to do to be more sympathetic? TRYING IN TEMPE

DEAR TRYING: You don’t know what caused your boss’s cancer and neither do I. Some people who live a healthy lifestyle get cancer anyway -- and that includes teetotalling, nonsmoking vegetarians. Please try to remember that -- and then think about karma. If you do, it may help you become more sympathetic and less judgmental. ❏ DEAR ABBY: I was with a group of friends at a sports bar discussing the baseball playoffs when the owner of the bar made a racist comment about the game. I was so shocked and offended that I said nothing for the rest of the evening. Later, I told my friends I was disappointed in myself for not speaking up -- that when someone makes a comment like he did and you let it go, you’re condoning that type of behavior. My friends said they just “considered the source” and I should not have been offended. How should we have handled this? SECOND THOUGHTS IN FLORIDA DEAR SECOND THOUGHTS: If the comment was offensive, you were right to be offended -- regardless of “the source.” The way to punish an ignorant bigot such as you described would be to hit him in the wallet. A way to have done that would have been for all of you to leave and tell him why. And another would be for all of you to spread the word about the incident.

ODDS AND ENDS 3 new ancient crocodile species fossils found WASHINGTON (AP) — A 20-foot-long crocodile with three sets of fangs — like wild boar tusks — roamed parts of northern Africa millions of years ago, researchers report Thursday. While this fearsome creature hunted meat, not far away another newly found type of croc with a wide, flat snout like a pancake was fishing for food. And a smaller, 3-foot-long relative with buckteeth was chomping plants and grubs in the same region. The three new species, along with new examples of two previously known ancient crocodiles, were being detailed Thursday by researchers Paul Sereno of the University of Chicago and Hans Larsson of McGill University in Montreal. They were speaking at a news conference organized by the National Geographic Society, which sponsored the research. “These species open a window on a croc world completely foreign to what was living on northern continents,” Sereno said of the unusual animals that lived 100 million years ago on the southern continent known as Gondwana. The researchers suggest that these crocs could gallop across the landscape chasing prey and yet also dive into the water that then existed in the region and swim. “My African crocs appeared to have had both upright, agile legs for bounding overland and a versatile tail for paddling in water,” Sereno wrote in an article for National Geographic magazine. “Their amphibious talents in the past may be the key to understanding how they flourished

SUDOKU

MY ANSWER in, and ultimately survived, the dinosaur era.” The newly discovered species are: — Kaprosuchus saharicus, nicknamed “BoarCroc,” found in Niger. BoarCroc was a 20-foot-long meat-eater with an armored snout for ramming and three sets of dagger-shaped fangs for slicing. — Araripesuchus rattoides, which the researchers call “RatCroc,” found in Morocco. This 3-foot-long croc was a plantand grub-eater with a pair of buckteeth in lower jaw it used to dig for food. — Laganosuchus thaumastos, or “PancakeCroc,” found in Niger and Morocco. Also 20 feet long, it was a squat fish-eater with a 3-foot pancake-flat head and spike-shaped teeth on slender jaws. Sereno said it probably remained motionless for hours, its jaws open and waiting for prey. In addition the researchers found new fossils of two previously named species: ■ Anatosuchus minor, “DuckCroc,” found in Niger, a 3-foot-long fish-, frogand grub-eater with a broad snout and Pinocchio-like nose. Special sensory areas on the snout end allowed it to root around on the shore and in shallow water for prey. Its closest relative is in Madagascar. ■ Araripesuchus wegeneri, or “DogCroc,” found in Niger, a 3-foot-long plant- and grub-eater with a soft, doglike nose pointing forward. Sereno has focused since 2000 on fossils in the Sahara Desert, his first find being Sarcosuchus imperator, a 40-foot-long creature that would have weighed 8 tons and which he called SuperCroc.

God calls us to help stop evil trends Q: Does God ever give up on a nation, because it keeps shutting Him out of its life? I can’t help but wonder if that’s happening to us, with all our evil ways. -- Mrs. E.. McD.. A: Yes, God can withdraw His protection from any nation that continually turns its back on Him. It happened with ancient Israel, and it can happen to us. The Bible says, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil. ... (the Lord’s) hand is raised and he strikes them down” (Isaiah 5:20, 25). But that doesn’t mean we should stop praying for our nation, or quit standing up for what is right and opposing what is wrong. After all, we don’t know the future -- and God may intervene in unexpected ways and bring spiritual revival in our midst. How different would our nation be if God’s people prayed for it every day? We also need to pray for our leaders, because they bear a very heavy burden and need God’s wisdom. Do you remember Jonah? God told him to go to Nineveh, the capital city of one of the most pagan nations on earth. At first, Jonah refused to go (which is why he fled and was swallowed by a great fish). But when he finally preached the message God had given him, the people of Nineveh repented of their evil ways. The Bible says that God “had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he had threatened” (Jonah 3:10). They were spared -- and the same could happen in our generation.

MANKATO, Minn. (AP) — Callings from a higher power don’t come in the form of a well-written letter or a carefully worded voice mail, so Jerry David understands why the ministerial path he’s on has taken some detours. When he left his job as a pastor at First Baptist Church in Lake Crystal in 2004, after 20 years, David thought his calling was clear. He was going to travel to rural areas and start churches through American Missionary Fellowship, a nationwide nondenominational mission society established in 1812. “Then I began to have some doubts, and my wife had more doubts,� he said. “So I went from being a pastor to being a car salesman.� During his time selling Fords, David didn’t give up the ministry completely. He worked as an associate chaplain at Immanuel St. Joseph’s Hospital and as a parttime pastor at Pathstone Living, a Mankato assisted-living center.

It was his work at Pathstone that kept him thinking about that higher calling. Some of the people he was talking to were frail and facing the unknowns behind death’s door. Others weren’t sick but felt like they’d been “put on a shelf� for the last years of their lives. “God really gave me a burden for these people,� David said. “I could help them with their spiritual needs. I was letting them know that God still wants to use them until he takes them home. “So I called American Missionary Fellowship again,� David said. “I told them, ‘I know what God wants this time. I’m not going to be planting churches; I’m going to be planting ministries at senior-care facilities,’� David said. The calling became even clearer later when a nurse he knew in Watonwan County called David and told him about a man in jail there. Things weren’t going well for the man, who was despondent and needed someone to talk to, she told him. He thought it was going to be a one-time visit. “I think he was very anxious, very nervous about going to prison,� David said. “I talked to him and, after I left, I thought that was going to be the end of the experience.� The man left the jail and went to prison, but not before passing David’s name on to another inmate. That inmate wanted to start a biweekly Bible study. Around the same time, David crossed paths with Steven Hultengren, a former pastor who had fallen away from the church. David asked Hultengren to help him with his work in Watonwan County.
