JAGS OUTLAST CAVS

SANFORD — A disgraced former Sanford police officer is facing charges stemming from a September sexual assault in Garner.

Bill Frederick, who left the Sanford Police Department 14 years ago following allegations that he traded police leniency for sexual favors, was formally charged with sexual battery in the Garner case Friday.

Frederick Frederick was the chief of Garner EMS & Rescue at the time of the assault, which was reported to have occurred in a former EMS office Sept. 1.

Immediately following the assault, police acknowledged a

Vol. 80, No. 241 Serving Lee, Chatham, Harnett and Moore counties in the heart of North Carolina

By JENNIFER GENTILE jgentile@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Some people log on to Facebook to keep up with their social circle, and others like to share photos and anecdotes with friends and family.

For Harnett County resident Annie Patterson, the site was a place she could be candid about her fear and frustration. As the mother of an 11-year-old daughter with a rare genetic disorder, Patterson confided on Facebook that she is “a tired, lonely, and scared mama right now.”

“I’m bringing you all together via this social networking site to tell you...

I need my friends now more than ever,” she wrote in one message earlier this year.

“I’m not myself these days and, well, I’m a firm believer in the power of prayer and support.”

WANT TO GO? ❏ WHAT: Benefit for Emily Patterson ❏ WHERE: Buffalo Lake Clubhouse, Vic Keith Road, Sanford ❏ WHEN: Nov. 6, barbecue plates available from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., yard sale from 7:30 a.m., raffle at 4:30 p.m. ❏ COST: $7 per barbecue plate of 13-year-old Colby, was diagnosed with cystinosis in 2001.

Ever since, the sixth grader at Western Harnett Middle School has kept the condition in check by taking medicine every six hours.

“Basically, with this disease, there’s an amino acid the body can’t get rid of,” Patterson said. “It destroys organs on a cellular level.”

Emily’s kidneys now function at 49 percent of normal capacity, meaning she will

most likely need a transplant in the future. Without the help of growth hormone, she is not expected to reach 5 feet tall, and she must use eye drops every hour to control amino acid deposits in her cornea.

Earlier this year, Patterson took to Facebook to tell her friends about a potentially life-changing development for her family. As of Oct. 11, Emily is testing a new drug that would put her on a 12hour medication schedule.

Patterson said the new medicine, now known only as RP103, is time-release and absorbed in the intestines versus the stomach—making it more effective.

To participate, Emily must make frequent trips to Atlanta during the initial 10-week trial — which is the only way she can receive the medicine before its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug

Southern Lee evacuated after bomb threat call

SANFORD — Students returned safely to their classrooms Friday morning following a bomb threat at Southern Lee High School, according to reports from Lee County Schools.

An unidentified person called in the bomb threat to the emergency services center at Central Carolina Community College. Students were evacuated, and school resource officers, maintenance department personnel and central office and school administrators responded on the scene.

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office, Sanford Fire Department and Sanford Police Department also assisted.

Trained bomb-sniffing dogs from Tarheel Canine searched the school and surrounding areas. “Administrative and law enforcement staff implemented precautionary measures instantaneously, and at no time were student lives at risk,� said Jeff Moss, superintendent of Lee County Schools.

Nothing was found, and students were given the all clear to return to class at about 10:30 a.m.

The Sanford Police Department is still investigating who called in the threat. “We’re very proud of the cooperation we have between law enforcement and the school system,� Moss said. “It was a team effort today to ensure the building was safe.�

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Sanford Police Department at 775-8268 or the Lee County Schools crime line at 776-7541, ext. 4459. — by Alexa Milan

CHATHAM COUNTY

Olympian’s death in Chatham County ruled a suicide

RALEIGH (MCT) — The death of North Carolina assistant track coach Antonio Pettigrew has been ruled a suicide, according to a report released Wednesday by the North Carolina office of the chief medical examiner.

An autopsy report determined the cause of death as diphenhydramine toxicity. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine which can cause drowsiness and is used in medications as a sleep aid. It is also used to treat allergy symptoms.

Pettigrew, 42, was found dead in his car by Chatham County deputies and EMS on Aug. 9. His car was parked on a bridge on N.C. 751 near Jordan Lake, and he was discovered unresponsive in the backseat.

UNC co-workers originally contacted sheriff’s

deputies after Pettigrew failed to show for work. A Chatham County sheriff’s news release stated at the time that the former St. Augustine’s track star may have taken the sleep aid Unisom.

An autopsy report written

by Dr. Deborah L. Radisch states that Pettigrew had a “lethal concentration� of diphenhydramine in his system. A bottle that held 30 pills of Unisom found in his car was the suspected toxic agent that caused his death, Radisch wrote. “In my opinion, the cause of death in this case was due to diphenhydramine toxicity,� Radisch wrote in the report, which showed no external or internal trauma. The report also showed negative findings for alcohol.

Pettigrew was entering his fifth year as an assistant coach at UNC, where he trained sprinters and hurdlers and was valued for his wealth of experience as a collegiate and professional athlete. — Raleigh News & Observer

HARNETT COUNTY

Regulators in Mulkey probe shutter finance companies DUNN (MCT) — State insurance regulators have shut down several premium finance companies formerly owned by Raymond Lee Mulkey Jr., officials said Wednesday.

Mulkey killed himself this summer, leaving behind more than $40 million in liabilities and only $8 million in assets and prompting an ongoing criminal probe by the N.C. Department of Insurance.

In the years before his death, Mulkey borrowed millions of dollars from banks and business associates to fund more than 30 premium finance companies, each of which were advertised as a service offering short-term loans to help people pay for expensive insurance policies.

Mulkey’s premium finance companies owed banks a total of more than $29.5 million when he died this summer, according to estate documents filed in Harnett County Superior Court. At least 20 individuals had invested hundreds of thousands of dollars each in the businesses, according to the estate, but the money appears to be gone.

The Department of Insurance ordered the premium finance companies to cease operations last week, according to documents obtained by The Fayetteville Observer. Dunn lawyer Joe Tart, the administrator of Mulkey’s estate, signed an agreement Oct. 6 surrendering the operating licenses for each of the businesses. — Fayetteville Observer

Zombie films, vampire dance-off on the slate for Fearrington fest

By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com

PITTSBORO — Vampires, zombies and ghouls are taking over Fearrington Barn next week just in time for the year’s spookiest holiday.

The Chatham County Arts Council’s Sustainable Cinema Series will host a Halloween Horror Film Fest on Friday, Oct. 22, featuring four short films and a featurelength zombie movie.

The event will also feature a costume contest, zombies vs. vampires dance-off and a “Thriller� dance flash mob. “We wanted to do something really fun, especially on the heels of the Pittsboro by Gaslight tour,� said Molly Matlock, executive director of ChathamArts. “That brought tons of people into Pittsboro and we wanted to maintain the momentum.�

Pittsboro by Gaslight was an all-day event in early October full of food, art and music that allowed visitors to experience what Pittsboro would have been like at the turn of the 20th century. To help bring the same energy level of that event to the Halloween Horror Film Fest, Matlock turned to DJ Mouse, who has spun music at clubs across the country and owns the Davenport and Winkleperry Steampunk Gallery in Pittsboro. “She is such a good DJ, and she was really the energy behind the Pittsboro by Gaslight event,� Matlock said.

DJ Mouse will spin music for the dance-off and flash mob, and she often DJs for steampunk balls in Raleigh. Her steampunk stylings are what initially caught Matlock’s attention.

Steampunk imagines an era in which steam power was prominent, usually the Victorian era, with technological inventions like those described in the works of

Note: The films at this screening are not suitable for children BE A ZOMBIE Want to be featured in director Christine Parker’s latest zombie film? “A Few Brains Moreâ€? is having an extras shoot Nov. 6 and 7 at the Old Gilliam Mill in Sanford. To learn more, search “A Few Brains More extrasâ€? on Facebook. author H.G. Wells. “It’s an art movement,â€? Matlock said. “A modern keyboard or computer might be shown with exposed gears. It looks very mechanical but still digital.â€?

The films that will screen before the danceoff are all by North Carolina filmmakers, including Sanford-based director Christine Parker.

The centerpiece of the screening is her movie “Fistful of Brains,� which Parker describes as a “zombie western.� “It’s just so perfect for Halloween,� Matlock said. “It’s campy, so it’s funny and a little bit creepy.�

Parker’s first foray into the zombie genre was her debut feature, “Forever Dead,� which is available to rent on Netflix. She shot “Fistful of Brains� in Smithfield two years ago. The film recently premiered in Japan, and will be released to the rest of the world in December through Brain Damage Films. The movie also won best horror feature at Hauntcon

2009. “It’s about a guy who comes to town selling water that turns people into zombies,� Parker said. “There’s also a love story between a young girl and her boyfriend, and they get caught up in the whole zombie thing.�

Parker said she has started branching out into other genres of horror, such as ghost stories and suspense, but she is currently filming her third zombie film. “A Few Brains More,� the continuation of “Fistful of Brains,� is set to wrap next month. “Zombies are just so much fun,� Parker said of the undead’s popular culture appeal. “It’s

really easy to get people involved in a project like that. Everybody wants to be a zombie.�

Parker will attend the Halloween Horror Film Fest and participate in a Q&A about the movie.

She said she hopes any amateur filmmakers in the crowd will leave the screening with the feeling that they, too, can make a movie, even with limited funding and resources. “I hope people will learn you can do a lot with a little,� Parker said. “We made that movie for less than $10,000. If you have a dream to make movies, just do it. You don’t have to wait for someone to give you $1 million.�

ChathamArts hosted a Halloween film festival last year, but this is the first time the organization has added the dance component. Matlock said the feedback in advance of the event has been positive, and she hopes the tradition will continue. “We’re really trying to make Pittsboro the most fun place you can go off the beaten path,� Matlock said. “We feel like there is a lot of energy here.�

Judge John solid choice for SBI interim Greensboro News & Record

N

.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper’s wise choice of former Guilford County judge Joe R. John Sr. as interim director of the troubled SBI crime lab buys valuable time.

It isn’t the first instance in which John was asked to lend a hand with a problem-plagued state agency. Last year, he spent two months filling in at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Knowing, at least as of now, that competent hands are at the helm allows Cooper to direct his full attention to completing a nationwide search for a

... for the foreseeable future, John, 71, should provide the steady leadership that fosters credibility and stability in short supply following allegations that biased lab results and policies sent innocent people to prison. permanent lab director.

And finding a replacement could take time and prove challenging, given the crime lab’s dubious record of manipulating evidence and slanting findings in favor of prosecutors.

Beyond that, the General

Assembly at its next session should debate whether the crime lab even remains under the state’s umbrella or operates independently, as critics propose.

But for the foreseeable future, John, 71, should provide the steady leadership that fosters credibility and stability in short supply following allegations that biased lab results and policies sent innocent people to prison.

His role should and will be more than caretaker. According to SBI officials, John will oversee a team of lawyers reviewing policies and procedures to assure information is properly

shared with both prosecutors and defense lawyers.

With his years of experience as a jurist in District and Superior courts and from 1992 to 2001 on the N.C. Court of Appeals, John is well-suited to handle this critical assignment.

Cooper’s efforts to address the crime lab mess have progressed slowly. His investigation, begun in March after an agent revealed the flaws, drags on, complicated by an earlier choice for interim lab director backing out.

With John’s input, he can step up the pace. Confronting the lab’s shortcomings should top Cooper’s “to do” list.

Subsidizing

W

hen government tells restaurant owners that they can’t let customers smoke on their premises, that’s the nanny state. When it fines motorcyclists for not wearing helmets, again, the nanny.

But is New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg playing Mary Poppins when he tries to stop low-income people from using their food stamps for Coca-Cola and other sugary, fattening drinks? He is not.

Bloomberg would not be standing between these New Yorkers and their cans of Fanta. But he would end the taxpayers’ role as enabler of poor nutrition choices. There’s a difference between a government ban on something and its refusal to subsidize it.

Such distinctions have been lost in the fracas over health care reform. How many times have you heard Sen. Phogbound warn that the new law would let government bureaucrats decide what medical care you may have?

The bureaucrats would do no such thing. They would tell you what the taxpayers will and will not subsidize.

You are free to go out and purchase motor scooters that fly, ineffective drugs and x-rays till you glow in the dark. But you would have to pay for unauthorized items with your own money.

Here lies the hypocrisy energizing many of reform’s most vocal foes. They profess to want big government out of health care. Then they turn around and blubber that the government might not pay for everything anyone wants — as though private insurers would similarly leave their cash registers open.

A volcanic surge of self-contradiction erupted over the law’s plan to cut overpayments to private Medicare insurers. Consider this outpouring from Marco Rubio, the Florida Republican running for the Senate: “One study found that the new law’s elimination of a tax subsidy could result in as many as 2 million retirees losing their drug coverage from their former employer’s plans.”

In the same paragraph, Rubio writes, “We must repeal ObamaCare and replace it with free market solutions that will not place hardships on older Americans.”

What hardships? The drug benefits under Medicare Part D already include a wealth of tax subsidies; the law would actually close the gap in coverage. The projected savings of $136 billion would buy medical care for sick, uninsured children — and all it would do to the elderly is require a few of them to pick up such minor expenses as eyeglasses and health-club memberships.

Marco, you are making me dizzy. ...

Now that’s a free market solution.

Programs that merely shovel taxpayer money into corporate coffers are something else. They’re corporate socialism. (The Republicans’ Medicare drug benefit was Lenin in a top hat.)

We’ve traveled the distance from small government subsidies for junk food to huge subsidies for extending lives. But the principle remains the same. Government telling you what you may not do or buy is one thing.

Forcing taxpayers to foot the bill is something quite different.

Letters to the Editor Desperate Democrats grasping for straws in Ellmers criticism To the Editor: Re: Letter to the editor from Randall Yow about Ellmers’ fair tax pledge Careful Randall, your desperation is showing. In fact, I would say that your letter effectively demonstrates just how the desperation of liberals across the country is manifesting: through the proliferation of lies and half truths.

You attack Renee Ellmers twice, each time with shameful disregard for the whole truth. Renee had a previously scheduled event (on the night of The Herald’s forum), that’s that. It doesn’t mean that she didn’t feel that the people of Sanford were important, just that she had already committed to being elsewhere.

She evidently feels it is important to keep her word and meet her obligations.

You mention the 23-percent tax, and while you know full well that said tax refers to the Fair Tax, which would replace all other forms of taxation and would more evenly distribute the tax burden, your words imply that the tax would be in addition to other forms of taxation.

Throughout this election process, it is becoming more and more evident that since the “tax and spend” liberals can not win on their voting records, they must win the only way they know how — by lying to the public, by misleading the masses and by hiding from their own histories of abusing the public trust.

SHANNON GURWITCH Sanford

The Phoenix challenge

T

oday, American universities are the envy of the rest of the world.

So, until a few years ago, were American auto manufacturers.

Could our universities fall from the top of the ladder the way General Motors did — arrogant, loaded down with costs, and with products unrelated to changing market trends?

I was worrying about this possibility the other day what a nationally syndicated “stock picking” column in the Durham Herald Sun caught my eye.

A reader wrote to columnist Malcolm Berko, “I recently hired a University of Phoenix graduate over a University of Florida graduate because I felt the Phoenix student would give me more bang for my buck in our accounting department. I’m interested in owning shares of this for-profit school because I think they do a superb job preparing people for the business world.”

Berko responded, “…[T]he University of Phoenix, may not have the panache of a University of Florida, but gives more students a superb education for enormously cheaper, certainly more effectively and in a lot less time than the University of Florida.”

Berko asserted that the University of Florida had 50,000 students with a budget of $4.89 billion while Phoenix, with about the same size budget, has 478,000 students.

One reason for the higher cost at Florida: “900 buildings on a 2,000-plus-acre campus and a staff of 16,000, has a ratio of three students for each staff member,” while Phoenix has virtually no campus and a ratio of nine students per staff member.

Berko continued, And while the University of Florida continues to raise its rates and beg the legislators for more money because its budget runs more red ink than Chairman Mao’s Little Red Book; APOL [Phoenix’s owner] expects to make an $830 million profit….They know how to deliver a good education without coddling students, without frivolous fluff, without the useless feel-good curriculum, without the lavish student unions, dormitories, sports complexes, private health care, a police force or elaborate administration buildings that look like Taj Mahals.”

Putting aside some of the important controversies about alleged deceptive recruiting practices at Phoenix, will the focused, low-cost education on the Phoenix model bring down the higher cost model of today’s American higher education?

My university friends are not ready to surrender. As one of them said, “What about Nobel Prizes? How many have members of the Phoenix faculty won?”

Another asserted that comparing Phoenix to Florida or any other big research campus was like comparing apples and oranges. “Only if you think the only con-

D.G. Martin One on One D.G. Martin is host of UNC-TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch

tribution of the University of Florida is the education of students do the comparisons made in this column make sense. Florida is a Tier 1 university with major professional schools and research units. What cancer research is Phoenix supporting? And what service to the state is it providing?”

My friends will not get any argument from me about the relative contributions of American public universities and Phoenix.

It is no contest.

Nor will the Phoenix model ever be as good in providing undergraduates with rich and challenging educational, cultural, and social experiences as our best public universities.

But Phoenix still presents a challenge when it comes to the “apples to apples” comparisons on cost for undergraduates and the relevance of a student’s course work to the lightning-fast workplace changes today’s students face when they finish their course work.

As our public universities seek continued and increased funding for each student from state legislators, more and more often they are going to hear more and more questions about cost, effectiveness, relevance and … “frivolous fluff.”

Bob Etheridge deserves to be ‘fired’ from his seat in U.S. Congress To the Editor: Once again, it is necessary to separate fact from fiction and truth from distortion where Rep. Bob Etheridge is concerned.

Contrary to any logical thinking, there are still those who thank that “ol Bob” actually cares about the citizens of the 2nd District.

Here’s what Etheridge cares about — Bob Etheridge. That, and how much power and influence he can wield in Washington.

We all know that he has brought several large (pork) checks to the 2nd District in an effort to buy votes with taxpayer money — money that will have to be paid back by our children and grandchildren. But no matter ... by that time, Bob will be gone, and he knows it. here is all anybody needs to know abut Etheridge — he voted in step with Pelosi and Reid and supported the health care monstrosity, voted for the $787 billion stimulus bill, voted to support cap and trade, voted for TARP and voted to leave Washington without submitting a budget so the Democrats could not be asked about upcoming tax hikes.

Etheridge is not a moderate Democrat. he is not a conservative Democrat. He is not a blue dog Democrat. He’s not even a yellow dog Democrat.

He is a left-wing Pelosi lap dog, a radical ultra-liberal, San Fransisco elitist who shares nothing in commong with the goodole tapaying citizens of the 2nd District.

Do America a big favor and forget about your political party and vote for the best interest of the country. Vote to fire Bob Etheridge. He really deserves it.

NURSING HOME SHOOTINGS TRIAL TO REMAIN IN CARTHAGE CARTHAGE (MCT) — The death-penalty trial for a man accused of gunning down eight people in a nursing home last year will remain in Moore County.

Judge James Webb ruled Thursday that the trial of Robert Stewart will stay in Moore County but will use a jury from elsewhere in the state.

The decision comes a week after lawyers wrapped up arguments over a survey from the defense team that suggested Stewart could not get a fair trial in the same town that was shaken in March 2009 by the killings at Pinelake Health & Rehab Center.

The poll indicated that 95 percent of Moore County residents surveyed had heard of the

case and 55 percent had made a decision on whether Stewart was guilty.

An expert witness called by district attorneys assailed the survey as being statistically flawed and therefore meaningless.

In his order from the bench, Webb said the defense team failed to prove that Stewart could not get a fair trial in Moore County. But the judge cited extensive pretrial media coverage throughout the Raleigh and Fayetteville region and said the jury should come from a different county. He will decide later which county.

Mental health evaluation Webb also granted a motion from prosecu-

tors that will allow their experts to evaluate Stewart’s mental health.

Stewart’s lawyers have not filed formal notice that they plan to mount a mental health defense, but they said he is currently undergoing evaluation. They also have said such a defense is likely.

Assistant District Attorney Peter Strickland said that Stewart stated he had taken medication prior to the shootings and tests immediately afterward showed a “substance� in his blood. He did not elaborate what the substance was.

Defense lawyer Jonathan L. Megerian has said that blood sample could be evidence of a diminished mental capacity during the rampage.

However, Megerian

argued, the prosecution’s motion to examine Stewart before a formal mental health defense has been offered was “putting the cart before the horse.�

Webb also ruled that Stewart should be held at the Moore County Detention Center. Stewart had previously been housed at Central Prison in Raleigh, which has cost the county $54,000 in medical bills and housing fees, according to jail administrator Capt. Eddie Johnson.

Defense lawyers argued that the judge should stick with previous rulings that kept Stewart out of the Moore County jail for health and safety reasons.

6A / Saturday, October 16, 2010 / The Sanford Herald ELECTION 2010: U.S. SENATE RACE

RICHARD BURR

By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — As an incumbent, it might seem at times that you have a target painted on your back.

Ask Richard Burr about that and it’s not likely he’ll argue with you. The Republican U.S. senator is fighting a bitterly contested battle with N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall for his coveted seat.

Burr In an election characterized by angry Republicans blasting Democrats as spend-happy cronies out of touch with the common taxpayer, the shoe has commonly been on the other foot in this campaign.

Under fire from Marshall and Libertarian candidate Mike Beitler, Burr has often been in the position of defending the unpopular economy recovery package he voted for two years ago.

According to Burr, the stimulus package, while cumbersome, saved the economy from an all-out meltdown.

Meanwhile, Burr has also

ELAINE MARSHALL

called for reduced spending and lower taxes, measures he says will jumpstart the economy and the still-soaring unemployment rate.

The criticism from his opponents hasn’t stopped Burr from amassing doubledigit leads at the polls in recent weeks and a substantial amount more in campaign fundraising.

Burr, who could not be reached for this profile, has targeted Democrat-led healthcare reform throughout the campaign, blasting Marshall and others of her party for backing what he describes as a government “takeover� of the health care system.

Outside of the economy, the senator has remained largely neutral on the subject of banning “don’t ask, don’t tell,� the controversial military policy regarding gays and lesbians, and has come out in support of a recent Supreme Court decision opening channels for large corporations and labor-unions to contribute to political campaigns.

Burr said the ruling addressed concerns about whether banning the donations infringed on the free speech of individuals wanting to donate from corporations and unions.

Marshall has tried to paint Burr as out of touch with the typical North Carolinian, a Washington, D.C., crony who voted for an unpopular economic stimulus package two years ago and has failed to back tax policy that bolsters struggling small businesses.

It remains to be seen whether it’s working.

Recent polls pegged the Democrat as trailing Burr by double-digit margin, although the candidates have begun public debates that Marshall supporters believe will narrow the gap.

Marshall has come out in opposition to the economic recovery package, a once-popular measure that has troubled incumbents seeking re-election before recession-weary constituents.

She said the key to recovery is through tax reform that makes North Carolina an attractive destination for industry and small businesses alike to thrive, although she said the economy is showing signs of life. “We’re seeing the stock market on its way up,� she said. “We’re getting stronger.�

By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — All across the state, Elaine Marshall said she is hearing the same refrain. “People are interested in talking about jobs and their families,� Marshall said.

Marshall is the Democratic candidate seeking to oust GOP U.S. Sen. Richard Burr this fall.

The current secretary of state Marshall for North Carolina, Marshall has made an aggressive push in recent weeks to tie Burr to the state’s foundering economy and the George W. Bush administration.

She brought that push to Sanford last week, cruising through town in her own camper plastered with campaign paraphernalia, including a declaration that her candidacy is not bankrolled by “big corporations and special interests.�

Burr’s campaign fundraising, which has reportedly dwarfed Marshall’s own war chest, has been accused of accepting money from large corporate interests.

MIKE BEITLER

By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Mike Beitler believes he’s something of an anomaly in the current race for the U.S. Senate.

Aside from running as a third-party candidate - Beitler is an avowed Libertarian - he believes he is the only fiscal conservative in the race right now.

Beitler, a Greensboro business professor, has challenged Beitler Democrat Elaine Marshall and incumbent Republican Richard Burr as big spenders, a political nono at a time when job-hungry voters are demanding lower taxes and reduced government spending.

Still, Beitler remains a long-shot to win Burr’s seat, as the GOP senator has enjoyed healthy public polling over his competitors.

Beitler has professed a need for government agencies to reduce their bankrolls, and cut back on military costs.

The candidate has declared himself an “anti-war� leader, at times

ganging up with Marshall to blast Burr during televised debates as something of a spending “liberal.�

He has also come out in opposition to the unpopular economy recovery package that senators and Burr have credited for stopping the economic freefall two years ago.

Beitler has said the federal government, facing large-scale debts and lingering unemployment, needs to begin cutting programs and branches to make ends meet.

He has also advocated to cut military spending as it relates to foreign intervention, highlighting his stance that the armed forces should primarily serve as homeland defense.

Outside of the economy, Beitler has also declared his support of amnesty for illegal immigrants, abortion rights and the rights of gays and lesbians to marry.

His party remains small as it relates to votes in North Carolina, but Beitler has said that he hopes to at least get a double-digit percentage of the votes on Election Day in hopes of reminding politicians that Libertarians are a relevant political force.

“I’m excited, very excited,” Patterson said.

“It’s stressful to live week to week out of a suitcase, that’s a challenge, but for the first time since she’s been diagnosed, there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel.”

Travel expenses will be covered but Patterson, a city of Sanford employee, will only be able to work for four days every two weeks. She will also have to home-school Emily and try to keep up with her own studies through Central Carolina Community College.

“Financially, this is go-

I think that women should first understand that the quality of care they have received prior to my coming to Central Carolina Hospital was appropriate and met the highest standards put forth in women’s imaging.

I feel that the biggest asset I bring to CCH is a more complete, comprehensive patient care approach. I want patients and referring physicians to know that women can see us for all women’s imaging needs: screening mammograms, ultrasounds, diagnostic workups, ultrasound biopsies, stereotactic core biopsies, breast MRIs, MRI biopsies, and minimally invasive procedures in order to have a complete workup prior to starting treatment.

This to me is the fundamental point that needs to be understood. Patients who don’t get started on the right foot before transferring to regional care centers miss out on vital time if an imaging study or procedure has yet to be performed or needs repeated. Working closely with the UNC Breast Cancer during my fellowship under a team approach philosophy has allowed me the opportunity to know what they want from patients before they are transferred, and if they even need to be transferred.

The Sanford Herald / Saturday, October 16, 2010 / 7A ing to take a miracle,” she lamented in her Internet message. “Emotionally, it will cost me more than I can fathom.”

The distraught mother’s appeal was not lost on her Facebook friends — some of whom have known her for more than 20 years. According to longtime friend Tracy Taylor, Patterson is strong, independent and not one to ask for help.

It was never a question of whether Patterson’s friends would lend a hand, Taylor continued; it was just a matter of deciding what they would do.

“We had to help Annie somehow because she’s helped a lot of people before,” Taylor said. For instance, Patterson has

participated in events like motorcycle toy runs and has planned a fundraiser for a child in Dunn with leukemia.

Patterson pal Donny Terrell came up with the idea of a benefit, which he pitched to Taylor and another friend, Rhonda Calcutt. Their brainstorming resulted in an fundraiser in Emily’s honor, which is scheduled for Nov. 6 at Buffalo Lakes’ Clubhouse in Spout Springs.

“It’s hard enough to take care of two kids who are healthy,” Terrell said.

“My whole way of thinking is if we can do nothing about the disease, if we can’t find a cure, at least we can relieve some of the stress financially.”

The overall goal,

added Calcutt, “is that she can go take Emily and not have to worry about her finances on top of everything else.”

Realizing that her friends are busy parents, too, Patterson said she knows how much work they are taking on.

Thanks to their generosity, she said she is free to focus on Emily and her treatment.

“I’m not stressing over how I’m going to pay my car payment, or how I’m going to pay my light bill,” Patterson said, “because I have faith.”

For her part, Emily is thinking of the potential benefit to her friend, Sophia, and other kids with her condition. She wants to do the study, she said, “because I’ll be

helping other kids with cystinosis.”

Emily’s benefit will feature barbecue plates for $7, which will be available from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., as well as a yard sale from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Winners of a raffle at 4:30 will take home items such as a smoker and a variety of gift certificates.

Q

Let me start with what not to do, and that is to “wait to see if it goes away.” I have seen too many women who waited a month or two and then decided to have it checked out. Come by or call CCH and let us work up “lumps.” Again, this underscores the importance of self exams. CCH has a wonderful breast navigator that will take you through each step until the issue is resolved.

Radiologists have the advantage on “seeing” and feeling at the same time. Women should take advantage of our skills so a delay in diagnosis doesn’t happen.

tion of annual screening mammograms, the breast cancer mortality rate has dropped 30 percent. That’s great news – especially for the women who’ve recovered from breast cancer.

The presentation I am giving on Oct. 19 will address this very issue in detail, so if you’re interested in learning about the ACS recommendations and why I support them over the new government task force study, sign up by calling (800) 483-6385.

Let me reiterate: screening mammograms should be annual and start no later than the age of 40 for every women, and younger for special high risk females.

Q

Q

I follow the American Cancer Society’s recommendation, and I’m concerned at the possible outcome of the United States Preventive Task Force’s recommendations.

Using the ACS guidelines for the past 25 years, we’ve been able to save many lives through early detection. Quality research has proven since the incep-

Hopefully the previous questions exemplify the passion I have for saving women’s lives. I would venture to say that the majority of the general public doesn’t know that a specialist like myself, a radiologist, spent anywhere from five to seven years after medical school to learn the myriad of physics, cutting edge technology, and the practice of medicine that is necessary to become an expert at reading all the MRIs, “cat scans,” X-rays, etc., performed in a hospital.

The majority of time we sit in a dark room secluded from the patients providing the answer to the missing puzzle piece their physician is looking for while never searching for the credit or patients appreciation. Breast imaging can be different.

Apart from a screening mammogram, I get the opportunity to help direct a woman through the deep and difficult waters of breast cancer trying to provide her the best diagnostic tools that she needs to help put breast cancer behind her as fast as possible. It never becomes easy or second nature to diagnose a woman with breast cancer, but it is such a blessing in the long run when she is coming back for mammograms three, five, even 10 years later. It is humbling knowing that we, as a team, had a small part in saving a life.

: How can women become more aware of their risk for breast cancer?

The first thing women should understand is that everyone is at risk. The recommendations can be complicated based on every one’s personal history. Everyone should understand two things, however: 1) Women at average risk should have annual exams starting at the age 40.

2) Women with increased risk have recommendations that can be as young as 25 but usually at the age of 30.

Women should take charge of the own health on this issue. They need to pick a month that they can remember and make a self-referral or ask their physician to schedule annual mammograms.

In my own experience, I have noticed that most women end up finding their cancer on their own.

This should underscore the importance of breast self exams (BSE). I recommend women starting breast self-exams at the age of 25 so that they get an understanding of what their exam “feels” like to them. There are multiple resources that help women learn what is “normal” and “abnormal,” and CCH provides free classes to teach women how to perform a quality BSE.

: There have been discussions in the national media about the need for mammograms and at what age a woman should be when she has her first screening mammogram. What are your thoughts on this?

: Why did you pursue fellowship training in breast imaging?

Frederick Continued from Page 1A

Garner EMS employee was at the center of the investigation, although they did not identify a suspect.

Frederick resigned as chief of the squad shortly after the assault was reported, and Garner’s mayor expressed frustration that the town was not aware of past allegations when he was hired more than a decade ago.

Despite the accusations in Sanford, Lee County prosecutors convicted Frederick of obstruction of justice following his resignation as a Sanford police officer in the summer of 1996. Frederick was eventually sentenced to probation.

He went on to join the rescue squad two years after his conviction in Lee County.

Garner police said Friday that they had issued a warrant for Frederick’s arrest for the September assault, and that they had been in contact with Frederick about turning himself in to law enforcement.

Investigators said they are not expecting any additional charges related to the incident.

Garner Police Department Chief Ronnie Yarborough, who was heading the department at the time of Frederick’s resignation, has declined to comment on the matter.

Frederick worked in a city-county drug unit in Lee County prior to his departure.

Trio brings in high hopes, pressure for N.C. State coach

By AARON BEARD AP Basketball Writer

RALEIGH (AP) — Ryan Harrow knows North Carolina State fans already have high expectations for three freshmen who have yet to play a college game.

Coach Sidney Lowe is cautioning everyone from expecting too much right away from the newcomers on a team with plenty of experienced returnees.

“He’s not trying to put Lowe too much pressure on us,” Harrow said Friday during the team’s preseason media day. “What if we don’t live up to everybody’s expectations and then everybody comes down on us? We are only freshmen, but I think we’re pretty good freshmen.

“We’ll just have to see how we do. Then, if we do well, then all of y’all can boost us up and that’ll be great.”

No one can blame N.C. State’s fans — or Lowe — for

Grace tops Falcons 2-1 in playoffs

SANFORD — Aaron Norris has lifted the Grace Christian Crusaders to the first round of the NCCSA 3A state soccer tournament.

Norris had both goals in Grace Christian’s 2-1 victory over county rival Lee Christian on Friday afternoon to set up a meeting with Vandalia Christian in the state quarterfinals.

The Crusaders outshot the Falcons 22-7 and only allowed one shot after scoring their goal.

Norris’ goals came in the 46th and the 60th minute, respectively. Sam Holt and Eduardo Hernandez had the assists. Norris now has 22 goals this season and is just two away from tying the school record for most goals in a season.

The Crusaders improve to 10-10 overall will play at Vandalia Christian in Greensboro on Tuesday afternoon for a possible trip to the state semifinals.

Gordon looking Pirates needing a win as to end long State, ECU renew rivalry losing streak

By AARON BEARD AP Sports Writer

By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CONCORD — Jeff Gordon earned the first of his 82 victories at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Now, 16 years later, he’s stuck in the longest losing streak of his career.

But his pole-winning run has him in strong position to snap that 59race drought Saturday night at Charlotte, where he has five career wins, but only one since 1999.

It was Gordon’s first pole of the year and a Gordon breakthrough victory this weekend would bolster his chance of winning the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

“This is huge and a huge shock,” he said of earning the top starting spot.

Redshirt junior defensive lineman Randel Herring had a dominate effort with 12 tackles and a sack. The 12 tackles were a career-high and the most tackles ever recorded by an interior lineman at Campbell. Redshirt freshman defensive end Matthew Cox also had a great individual performance with seven tackles and a sack.

Drake (3-3, 2-1 PFL) lost a wild 39-34 game to Jacksonville on the road last weekend. The Dolphins lead 30-7 at the half only to see the Bulldogs get to within a score late in the fourth quarter. Junior receiver Drew Blackmon totaled nine catches for 158 yards and touchdown

Blue Devils hang another banner in Cameron’s rafters DURHAM (AP) — Duke threw one last party to celebrate last season’s national championship. Then the Blue Devils went to work on trying to win another one.

Duke unveiled its fourth and most recent title banner Friday night during a ceremony as part of the school’s “Countdown to Craziness� event to mark the start of preseason practice.

Two of the key seniors from last spring’s run — Jon Scheyer and Lance Thomas — came back for the festivities, which began with the players receiving their championship rings. As a dark sheet was dropped to reveal the new banner, hanging behind one basket and illuminated by a spotlight, a grinning Kyle Singler was embraced by Thomas while guard Nolan Smith pumped his fist to the beat of the Queen classic “We Are The Champions.�

All the while, talented freshman Kyrie Irving soaked it in, calling the moment “kind of motivating.� “It was a special moment for me to see them get their rings, but I want it to be even more special when I get my own, if I can get one this year,� Irving said.

Then, the Cameron Crazies got their first peek at a crew that some have anointed as a favorite to contend for a fifth title. One

being excited about the potential of Harrow, C.J. Leslie and Lorenzo Brown.

Harrow brings a talent lacking at point guard in Lowe’s first four seasons, Leslie is an athletic big man and Brown is a guard who figures to be physically ready for significant minutes after spending last season at prep school as an academic nonqualifier.

That group could hold the key to whether Lowe ends up in the NCAA tournament or out of a job at the end of the season.

Lowe will also count on returning all-Atlantic Coast Conference big man Tracy Smith, a veteran point guard in Javi Gonzalez and a talented long-range shooter in Scott Wood.

Lowe struggled blending a talented youngster in J.J. Hickson in with ex-

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski locks arms with his team as he walks on the court during the “Countdown to Craziness� event Friday at Cameron Indoor Stadium. of the fans held a sign that read “Hungry + Humble (equals) No. 5� — and coach Mike Krzyzewski took notice. “It’s a lot easier for fans not to be hungry than the team, I think,� Krzyzewski said. “I’m hungry. I stay hungry all the time. In other words, (a team can’t) assume that something is going to happen. “Winning a national title is not an easy thing. It’s not like, ‘OK, we’re going to win four of them.’ It’s a very, very difficult thing — it’s one of the toughest things in sport to win, because it’s oneand-done,� he added. “Having depth and having guys who play together gives you a greater opportunity to do that, but this team has the capability of develop-

ing into (somebody) that is worthy of winning.�

Singler and Smith are the only returning starters from the team that finished 35-5 and won 10 straight to close the season, winning the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament for the 18th time before beating Butler 61-59 for the NCAA title.

All eyes on this night, however, were on Irving, the new point guard who provided more than a few highlight-reel moments during his unofficial debut.

He scored six points during one 12-minute intrasquad scrimmage while playing with what figures to be the rest of the starting five: Singler, Smith and brothers Mason and Miles Plumlee.

perienced returnees three seasons ago. He’ll have to do a better job this time around. “They are talented but they are young,� Lowe said. “There’s a learning curve. ... These guys are talented but they do have things to learn and they’re going to play against other talented freshmen and sophomores and juniors and seniors. It’s not so much to protect them as much as it is to be realistic.

Do I expect them to do well in time? Absolutely, because they have that ability.�

Smith and Wood, for their part, sounded eager about having the touted freshmen joining the program even if fans seem to talk about them more than the rest of the team. Smith is ready for some more help in attaining his goal of finally playing in the NCAA tournament. “If you go read any article about the freshmen, you can just see the (online) views and how

many people are looking at them,� Wood said. “It’s just crazy, but I think that brings an added excitement to our program this year.�

Leslie is arguably Lowe’s biggest recruiting catch since he took over the program he led to a national championship as a player nearly three decades ago. The 6-foot-8 forward verbally committed to the Wolfpack as a ninth grader, but reopened his recruitment and flirted with John Calipari and Kentucky, among others, before ultimately signing with N.C. State.

Leslie said Lowe’s loyalty, including continuing to recruit Leslie after he “kind of let them down a little bit,� was a big factor in why he decided to stay with his original choice. “I basically made a decision to open my options because I felt I was too young for it,� Leslie said. “But at the same time, State was always in the back of my mind and they were recruiting me as hard as any other school even though I had decommitted. “I did owe it to myself (to look around). I felt like you have to respect that because this is my life right here. Picking the right school is important.�

Harrow, a squeakyvoiced guard who is generously listed as 6-1 and 156 pounds on the roster, figures to challenge Gonzalez for playing time sooner rather than later.

Lowe described Brown’s year of prep school as a blessing in disguise because it allowed him to mature physically and emotionally to prepare for the rigors of playing in the ACC. All three rookies should give the Wolfpack a chance to run more, which maybe will allow Lowe to loosen the reins a little bit from the sideline.

And that might be enough to help Lowe’s program make its long-awaited leap forward. “The crowd’s going to talk about the new guys because we’re new,� Brown said. “But it’s really about the team. Us three can’t do it by ourselves.�

Gordon Continued from Page 1B

“We just have not been qualifying good this year and we haven’t qualified this well at Charlotte for like 10 years. I thought for sure a half-dozen guys would beat us. It’s awesome timing in the Chase.”

Saturday night marks the halfway point in the Chase, and Gordon goes into the race ranked fourth in the standings.

He’s 85 points behind Jimmie Johnson, the fourtime defending series champion and Gordon’s one-time protege at Hendrick Motorsports.

There was a time this season, despite his failure to get to Victory Lane, when Gordon felt he was running better than his teammate. But as the summer dragged on and it came time to prepare for the Chase, it was Johnson and his No. 48 team that took off.

Gordon began to fade and hasn’t contended for a victory in months. He hasn’t earned a top-five since Chicago in July, and although he has three top-10s through the first four Chase races, he’s not lighting the world on fire.

But Gordon is impressed with how his No. 24 team has handled the dropoff.

“I feel like we haven’t emotionally gotten torn down. I feel like we’ve lost some momentum,” Gordon said. “What a win does is carries you through more races on a high and with confidence. That is what I am proud of — we haven’t won at all this year, we haven’t won for a long time, and while we don’t have the confidence that we had probably at that point in the season, we haven’t self-destructed either.”

Still, Gordon needs a strong finish Saturday night.

Johnson has surpassed Gordon as the most dominant driver at CMS, which Hendrick Motorsports has proudly claimed as its home

track. The race team headquarters are just minutes away from the suburban Charlotte track, and HMS drivers are typically very good here.

But nobody has been as good as Johnson, a six-time Charlotte winner who completed the only perfect weekend of his career here last October when he led every practice session, won the pole and the race.

So as the Chase field is separating and Johnson is getting more and more comfortable atop the standings — he’s got a 36-point lead over Denny Hamlin — the drivers chasing him know they can’t let Johnson get any further ahead.

Hamlin is usually pretty decent at Charlotte, but doesn’t have the finishes to show for it. He led 54 laps last October before his engine failed, hasn’t had a top-10 finish at CMS since 2007 and has an average finish of 18.5.

And Kevin Harvick, third in the standings and 54 points back, has never had much success at Charlotte despite a win in the All-Star race. Through 19 career starts, he has just three top-10 finishes and average finish of 20.7 — worst among the Chase field.

That’s not going to get it done against Johnson, who could deliver a knockout punch to the remaining contenders.

Tony Stewart sits fifth in the standings, 107 points back, and he’s about the last driver with any sort of chance of catching Johnson.

As always, Johnson is refusing to get too far ahead of himself.

“There is just so much racing left,” he said. “I’m very proud of what we’ve accomplished and what we’ve done. But it doesn’t mean a damn thing about this weekend’s race or next weekend’s race and on and on. You have to go out and like we always hear, you’ve got to go play the game.

“Well, I’ve got to go run the race and that’s my job now.”

NORTH CAROLINA AT VIRGINIA

Heels looking to ‘reverse the curse’

By BRIANA GORMAN

Florida St. Maryland N.C. State Wake Forest Boston College Clemson

Durham Herald-Sun

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina wide receiver Jheranie Boyd could only laugh earlier this week when asked if he thought the Tar Heels were cursed against Virginia.

After all, UNC hasn’t won in Charlottesville since 1981 and has lost 10 of the past 12 games against the Cavs. “Maybe,� Boyd said.

UNC travels to Virginia today (6 p.m., TWC channel 520) looking to break a streak of four consecutive losses to the Cavs, including a 16-3 loss in Chapel Hill a year ago.

The Tar Heels said they have talked about the program’s more than 20-year struggle with the Cavaliers, but it’s something they are trying not to focus on. “For the past couple of years, we’ve been only worried about: When was the last time we beat them there?� UNC quarterback T.J. Yates said. “I think we kind of made it too personal the last couple of years, and it kind of got in the way of our preparation.�

According to Coach Butch Davis, UNC’s previous games against Virginia should make no difference in today’s game.

Even though his players admitted they have discussed the record, Davis said he has not addressed his team about it. “What transpired 10 years ago shouldn’t have any relevance on the game you’re going to play this particular [day],�

Davis said.

And on paper, this could be the year the Tar Heels finally break the losing streak.

UNC (3-2, 1-1 ACC)

Rivalry Continued from Page 1B

all part of the odyssey that comes with building a new program. “You can’t magically wish that on a team. They have to go through it,�

McNeill said. “We had to go through those (losses) even though it was painful and tough. We had to go through that as a football team to learn. I can tell them, the coaches can tell them, we can try to simulate in practice, but until they go through it and see what we mean and what we’re talking about, that’s where the learning takes place. “The team has had big ears and big eyes all year long. I have a lot of confidence in our team and coaches. They’ve done everything we’ve asked them to do.�

East Carolina’s program has long operated in the shadows of Atlantic Coast Conference programs North Carolina and N.C. State located about 90 miles west. Its fans have always savored any opportunity to stick it to those instate teams, evidenced by the fact that the game is sold out in newly expanded Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.

The rivalry’s intensity is clear to the home-state players who stock both rosters. For the so-called outsiders like quarterback Dominique Davis, it didn’t take the Boston College transfer long to figure out how much the game mattered to the fans. “I heard from some fans right away, ‘Just don’t lose to N.C. State,’� Davis said.

The feeling seems to be mutual.

North Carolina cornerback Gene Robinson (1) celebrates an interception in the fourth quarter against East Carolina earlier this year. has won three straight, including a convincing ACC win over Clemson a week ago, and ranks fourth in the league in total defense. Despite the distractions of the ongoing investigations into agents and academics that started in July and still has five players being withheld, the Tar Heels have found a way to focus on football and win.

The latest blows came Monday when standout defensive tackle Marvin Austin was dismissed from the program, and wide receiver Greg Little and defensive end Robert Quinn were ruled permanently ineligible.

Yates said the announcement finally brought some closure to a situation, but the Tar Heels would be ready to move on without them — much as they have for the first five games of the season. “This has kind been in the back of the guys

“Anybody with Carolina in their name is a big rivalry to me,� said Wolfpack defensive lineman J.R. Sweezy, a Mooresville native.

McNeill, a longtime assistant at Texas Tech, brought the Red Raiders’ pass-heavy spread offense along with an aggressive defensive scheme to his alma mater. The offense has adapted quickly, scoring at least 27 points in four of five games. The defense, however, ranks among the nation’s worst in several categories and has allowed at least 42 points in four of five games.

That could be particularly problematic against the Wolfpack (5-1) and quarterback Russell Wilson, who has thrown for 17 touchdowns while leading an offense averaging nearly 38 points per game. “We know they have a lot of speed at the receiver

minds around the program now that this was a high possibility that this was going to happen,�

Yates said. “The fact that we haven’t been playing with those guys for a long time, it’s going to be an easy transition.�

Virginia (2-3, 0-2 ACC), on the other hand, has lost two straight and its two wins came over Richmond and VMI from the Football Championship Subdivision. The Cavaliers are led by first-year coach Mike London, who is trying to turn around a program that hasn’t had a winning season since 2007.

Virginia has shown flashes of being a good team — it lost at Southern California by just three points — but then was easily disposed by Florida State and Georgia Tech.

Still, the Cavs’ struggles this season aren’t something the Tar Heels are overlooking. “It’s been a long time

spot and a quarterback who can get the ball in those tight spots,� Pirates defensive back Emanuel Davis said. “It’s causing disruption, getting a hand on the receivers and not letting them get free releases (from the line).

That just closes those passing lanes down a little bit more and I think that’ll help us.�

N.C. State is off to its best start under coach Tom O’Brien, regrouping from a home loss to the Hokies by rolling past Boston College last weekend to match its win total for all of last season. And the Wolfpack will certainly be ready considering its history of performing well against instate Bowl Subdivision opponents under O’Brien.

N.C. State is 7-3 against those four teams in the previous three seasons, including a pair of wins against the Pirates.

since we won down there,� UNC running back Johnny White said. “It’s been in the back of everybody’s mind, just knowing it’s hard place to play.�

And the Tar Heels know how easily they could end up with a loss if they take this game lightly.

Safety Da’Norris Searcy said the thing that sticks out to him the most about the program’s trip to Charlottesville in 2008, which Virginia won 16-13 in overtime after trailing by seven points with 2:14 to play, is that the Tar Heels should have won. “I don’t believe in curses,� Searcy said. “I know as long as we go up there and do our job, then we have a good chance of winning.�

‘Canes look to bounce back at Duke’s expense

By STEVE WISEMAN Durham Herald-Sun

DURHAM — They grew up engulfed in the great tradition of University of Miami football.

Their tasks today, though, are to punch holes in the Hurricanes’ season.

Duke wide receivers Conner Vernon and Donovan Varner both came to the Blue Devils after strong careers at Miami’s Gulliver Prep School.

A year ago, Varner led the ACC in receptions (65) while Vernon caught 55 passes.

This season, Vernon leads the league in catches (34) with Varner just behind at 31.

They may not have impressed the Miami coaches enough to get scholarship offers, but Vernon and Varner certainly have their attention now.

“We know those guys are going to be excited,” Miami coach Randy Shannon said. “They’re two really good football players, and they do a great job for them.

“It’s going to be a challenge for our secondary to do a phenomenal job of hanging with those

guys and covering those guys throughout this game.”

Both players had solid games when they returned home last season against the Hurricanes.

Miami won 34-16 at Sun Life Stadium, but Varner caught eight passes for 165 yards and a touchdown while Vernon had three catches for 52 yards.

“It’s always fun to play against the team you always watched growing up and always idolized, pretty much,” Vernon said. “I remember those 2000 and 2001 teams. You always go to the game and want to play for the Hurricanes when you are a little kid.”

Both players know several Miami players from participating in camps and 7-on-7 competitions in the area during high school. Miami defensive back Brandon Harris, a junior from Miami’s Booker T. Washington High, is a guy both said they are friendly with — most of the time.

“I played against a lot of the Booker T. guys in 7-on-7,” Varner said. “I’m looking forward to a lot of trash-talking and a lot of

competition on the field.”

Varner said he’s known Hurricanes running back Lamar Miller, from Miami’s Killian High, since their little league football days.

Vernon mentioned defensive back Brandon McGee and linebacker Jordan Futch, both Miami-area high school products now with the Hurricanes, as guys he has run across in prep football circles.

“You just know some of the guys from back home,” Vernon said. “You didn’t necessarily have to play against them to know them.”

Duke offensive lineman Brian Moore also is a Miami-area product, attending Ransom Everglades High in Coral Gables, Fla. He lived about a mile from the Miami campus and attended games but wasn’t necessarily a big fan of “The U.” “The family has never been big UM fans,” Moore said. “Both my parents went to Florida State. In my house, we never really watched the Canes. But growing up, all my friends loved them and I would always go to the games.”

In Duke coach David Cutcliffe’s two seasons, the Blue Devils have hung with the moreathletic Hurricanes for a while before succumbing.

Miami has posted wins of 49-31 and 34-16.

But in 2009, Duke led 16-13 entering the fourth quarter before Miami scored 21 unanswered points to win.

Duke’s Miami guys know what they need to do to close the gap.

“In the fourth quarter, they always out-compete us,” Varner said. “Coach Cutcliffe has talked a lot this week about finishing.

That’s something that we haven’t done in previous games against them, and it’s something that we need to focus on.”

BRIDGE HAND

Boys with their funny looks are a persistent fact of life DEAR ABBY: I’m a 12-year-old girl with a big problem. My class recently learned about reproduction. All of the girls accepted it in a mature manner, but it’s another story with the boys.

Now all the boys look at me funny when I walk through the hall. It makes me feel awkward. Should I ignore them or should I say something?

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: The more creative, imaginative and innovative you are, the further ahead you will get. There are plenty of changes heading your way. Alterations to your home, living arrangements or your geographical location are apparent. Stay away from individuals who want to control your life and your future. Now is not the time to give in just to keep the peace.

Your numbers are 4, 11, 19, 22, 27, 36, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t take anything or anyone for granted. An emotional challenge will develop between you and someone you are close to. A problem with someone you work with may lead to a change in your position.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will be emotionally confused by the reactions you get from other people. Offering your services is fine but make sure you are clear about the cost involved. Take whatever steps are necessary to prepare for your next move.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Reassess your job, your home and your family life. Be honest about what’s working and what’s not. Come up with a plan that will ease your stress and get you moving in a direction that makes you want to participate.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Romantic relationships can prosper if you make the right choice and talk about future trends.

Children will give you an interesting perspective.

Enjoy the people who deserve your time and attention.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You will discover information about a friend or neighbor. Use the knowledge you receive wisely. A partnership will change if you are honest about how you feel. A long distance connection can be made.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): Spending time with friends or family or getting

involved in a challenging activity or event will help you feel revitalized and will lead to an interesting proposition. Romance is highlighted.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): With a little discipline you should be able to finish a project you started some time ago. Your creativity is up and so is your patience. The work you put in today will bring positive results.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): You’ll be torn between what someone wants you to do or expects of you and what you want to explore. A challenge will stimulate your senses, allowing you to be and do your very best. Have fun.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Don’t take on too much or make promises you cannot keep.

Focus on the moment and what you can do easily.

You may be interested in someone from your past but it isn’t likely to turn out in your favor if you try to get in touch.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Just when you think you are getting ahead or have all your ducks in a row, someone is likely to dismantle your plans. Proceed with caution and refrain from criticizing or putting blame on someone else. The way you handle adversity now will determine your future situations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): It’s time to sort through your personal possessions. There is money to be made if you have a garage sale or you simply sell what you no longer need. Your ability to collect can turn into a mini business on the side.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your emphasis should be on home, family or the one you love most. Make plans or a promise that will seal a deal personally. You will be able to start moving in a direction that can assist you in getting ahead emotionally, financially or even physically.

DEAR EMBARRASSED: Right now, I suspect most of your classmates are feeling awkward. A frank discussion about reproduction has been known to make students older than you uncomfortable. It is, however, a part of life — and contrary to what some may think, ignorance isn’t bliss.

Acting the way the boys are is normal for their age. But if it continues, rather than saying anything to them — which might encourage more of the same — talk to a teacher about it. o DEAR ABBY: Shortly before I started college, a relative introduced me to “Paul,” who would be attending the same school, and told us we were distant cousins.

Paul and I became friends. We socialized together often and all our

friends knew us as cousins.

It wasn’t until after graduation that our parents told us that while we have a relative in common, it is by marriage, and we are not related to each other. Paul and I have a lot in common, and he has expressed an interest in pursuing a relationship with me.

Paul is a great guy, but I’m reluctant to date him because all our friends think we’re related.

It almost feels like we are doing something wrong. Can you please share your opinion on this situation?

— IT’S ALL RELATIVE DEAR ALL RELATIVE: There is nothing to stop you and Paul from becoming romantically involved if you’re both leaning in that direction. The way to deal with it would

be to tell your friends, before you start being seen together, how “amusing” it is that you were led to believe the two of you were related, when it turns out that you AREN’T. It was all a big mistake.

(Ha-ha.)

That should quell most of the gossip you’re concerned about.

And if you’re asked directly, repeat what you told me. o DEAR ABBY: I have been involved with a man, “Seth,” for more than two years. We share mutual interests and he makes me laugh. For the most part we’re happy, but I have one concern. I have yet to receive flowers from Seth, although he has mentioned many times that he had sent them to his ex while they were together.

Is it wrong for me to expect flowers, or should I just forget the idea and leave it alone?

— WAITING FOR ROSES IN HOUSTON DEAR WAITING: Not knowing Seth, I can’t say whether his unwillingness to send you flowers is because after what happened with his ex he considers them a bad investment or whether he’s just cheap. But because the absence of flowers is bothering you, ask HIM about the omission.

Bear-proof garbage cans for rent in Montana town

Belfast pays out to ’tomato’ hit by mayor

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — Missoula’s residential garbage service has ordered some extra-tough garbage containers in an effort to discourage trash-hunting bears on the Montana city’s outskirts.

The Missoulian reports Allied Waste will rent out the bear-proof garbage cans for $10 a month.

Black bears have been prowling the streets and alleys since early September, when apples and other fruit started ripening.

City law prohibits storing garbage in any way that makes it accessible to bears in the so-called “bear buffer zone” mostly on the eastern and southern perimeters of the city.

Garbage must be in a bear-proof container or it can’t be put out until after 5 a.m. on garbage day.

DUBLIN (AP) — Belfast’s mayor was sure he could jump over the giant tomato — but his efforts bore no fruit.

Belfast City Council confirmed Friday it’s paid a former employee more than 24,000 pounds ($38,000) after former Mayor Jim Rodgers tried to leap over her in front of press photographers three years ago.

The victim, Lorraine Mallon, was dressed as a tomato to promote a city food fair and was sitting on the grass. She suffered a blow to the back of her head as Rodgers ran up from behind to try to leapfrog her but slipped at the last moment.

Rodgers apologized, but Mallon suffered a slipped disc and sued for negligence.

The council said Friday it agreed to pay her 24,021.75 pounds ($38,538.50) plus her legal bills.

Free: 3BR, 1BA ranch-style house. You haul it away MOUNT WOLF, Pa. (AP) — Free house, fair condition. Delivery not included.

A central Pennsylvania township is offering up a house to anyone willing to haul it away.

East Manchester Township acquired the house and the property it sits on so it can eventually expand its municipal building.

But rather than tear down the house, township officials are offering it to anyone who wants to move it somewhere else.

Township manager Terry Gingerich tells the York Daily Record the three-bedroom, one-bathroom ranch-style house is probably worth about $60,000. It’s already been stripped of appliances and carpet, but Gingerich says the house is in otherwise fair condition.

Gingerich says whoever takes the township’s offer and moves the house will also be responsible for clearing the lot so it can be built on later.

SUDOKU

Dog bites ‘Moss Man’ outside Ore. museum HILLSBORO, Ore. (AP) — Deputies investigating a possible break-in at a rock museum near Portland, Ore., were surprised when they stumbled upon a man concealed on the ground by a moss-like camouflage outfit.

Sgt. David Thompson of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office says the hidden suspect cried out when a search dog bit him before daylight hours Thursday outside the Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals in Hillsboro. Police say the man was wearing a “ghillie” suit, a camouflage outfit designed to resemble heavy foliage.

Police identified the man, dubbed “Moss Man” on the Internet, as 36-year-old Gregory Liascos of Portland. They arrested him on burglary and criminal mischief charges.

Sheriff’s officials say nothing was stolen, but allege Liascos cut a hole in a museum wall and was trying to gain entry. They didn’t know if he has an attorney.

Never give in to feeling hopeless Q: I’m old and sick and don’t have much time left, and as I look back over my life I know it’s been wasted. I thought I was having a good time, but now I realize it’s too late and I’m not ready to meet God. Maybe someone will learn from my bad example. — J.R. A: I too hope someone will learn from your life — because the worst thing that can happen to us is to come to the end of our life and realize we’ve wasted it and aren’t ready to meet God. We’ll stand before Him anyway — but by then it’ll be too late.

You can’t change the past, much as you wish you could.

But listen: You can change the future! Right now, you have no hope — either for your remaining days on earth or for eternity. But it doesn’t need to be that way!

The reason is because God still loves you, in spite of the way you’ve ignored Him and fought against Him. And because He loves you, He wants to forgive the past and give you hope for the future.

How is this possible? It’s possible for one reason: Jesus Christ died for you. If you had been the only person on earth who needed to be forgiven and saved, Jesus Christ still would have died for you. God loves you that much! The Bible’s words are true: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

Don’t give in to hopelessness. Instead, by faith turn to Jesus Christ and open your heart and life to Him. God wants to forgive you and welcome you into His family forever — beginning today.
