SANFORD — Celebrities and free flights for children headline FAMILY DAY @ the jetport presented by Capital Bank, the second-annual aviation festival slated for today at Raleigh Exec.

More than 3,500 people attended last year’s inaugural day of aviation-related activities and special events. Many said they were attracted by free plane rides for children, from ages 8 through 17, provided by the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Young Eagles.

The plane rides will be offered again this year — along with new events added to the mix.

Jonathan Trappe, who landed in the Guinness Book of World Records earlier this year for the longest cluster balloon flight of all time, will bring balloon exhibits and currently plans to make a balloon flight.

HAPPENING TODAY Temple Theatre welcomes Out n’ The Cold, a progressive acoustic band, loved for its brotherly harmonies, unmatched musicality and personalities beyond reproach.

Showtime is 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 each and can be purchased through the Temple Theatre Box Office at (919) 774-4155.

SANFORD — If you ask longtime N.C. Rep. Jimmy Love about all of the doom and gloom surrounding Democrats’ chances at the polls this November, Love is liable to tell you predictions of a GOP takeover in Raleigh and the 51st District might be a bit premature.

“There are polls out there that show I’m way ahead too,” Love said, referring to some reports that his Republican challenger, Sanford City Councilman Mike Stone, has the edge on the seven-term lawmaker.

Either way, Love’s bitterly contested race with Stone is expected to be close, pitting a Democratic incumbent against a Republican in a region

SANFORD — Tuesday’s Sanford City Council meeting wasn’t quite the same without Mike Stone.

The Republican councilman is usually among the loudest conservative voices on the panel, often musing ardently about the need to cut taxes for ailing locals and shut down tax breaks for industry recruitment.

Without Stone, one of those very incentives passed with no opposition Monday. Don’t blame him if he’s busy elsewhere.

Stone’s taking his stump outside of the Sanford council chambers this year, challenging longtime Democrat Jimmy Love for the 51st District seat in the N.C. House of Representatives.

Prosecutors attack poll in Stewart case

‘Christmas Joy’ applications coming soon

CARTHAGE (MCT) — A witness for the prosecution Thursday sharply criticized a survey that indicates Robert Stewart couldn’t get a fair trial in Moore County, where he is accused of killing eight people at a nursing home last year.

At a hearing Wednesday, Stewart’s defense team presented a poll showing 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.

On Thursday, Elon University Professor Hunter Bacot called the survey “sloppy” and “shoddy.”

Bacot’s testimony came as lawyers wrapped up the second day of hearings on a defense motion to try Stewart in another county because of pre-trial publicity.

Superior Court Judge James Webb said he would take the arguments under advisement, even as he pushed defense lawyers -- impatiently at times -- to figure out when they would be ready to take the case to trial.

Defense lawyers demurred, saying they have another capital murder case in Randolph County that is likely to go to trial in the spring. They said they also need time to prepare a possible mental health defense. Webb said several times he wanted the trial to begin in the spring, as early as April.

It is unclear when Webb will rule on the motion for a change of venue. However, lawyers will be back in court Thursday to hear a motion regarding Stewart’s mental health, which prosecutors said they plan to file.

CHATHAM COUNTY

County seeks members for nursing committee PITTSBORO — Chatham County seeks residents to fill several vacancies on its Nursing Home & Adult Care Home Advisory Committee.

“This committee has a key role in protecting the rights and safety of residents living in either nursing homes or adult care homes,” said County Commissioner Carl Thompson, who serves as liaison to the committee.

“We will keep applications open as long as we need to do so, but we would like to make new appointments as soon as possible,” Thompson said. “So we are asking interested residents to submit applications by Oct. 22, no later than 5 p.m.”

Four arrested for trying to force their way onto school bus in Coats LILLINGTON (MCT) — Four men who chased and tried to force their way onto a packed school bus in Coats on Wednesday were arrested after they stopped to retrieve a shotgun, according to the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office.

No injuries were reported following the chase.

Twenty-six students, ages 14-18, were aboard the bus, which was coming from Triton High School.

“I’ve been here a little over 20 years, and this is the first time I can ever remember anything like this,” said Maj. Jeff Huber, a spokesman for the Sheriff’s Office.

The driver of Bus 326 called deputies at 3:14 p.m. to report that while the bus was stopped

to drop off students at Ebenezer Church Road and Forever Lane in Coats, two students — Jose Gonzalez, 17, of Oak Dale Mobile Home Park, and Pedro Gonzalez, no age or address given — had gotten into a fight as Pedro was leaving the bus. It appeared the fight started because of a running dispute, Huber said.

A passenger vehicle loaded with four men — including two of Pedro’s brothers — was parked nearby and saw the encounter, according to the Sheriff’s Office. The four men got out of the vehicle and tried to force their way onto the bus through the front door, Huber said.

At the time, they apparently didn’t realize that Pedro had already jumped

out the rear door of the school bus, Huber said.

The driver stopped the men from entering and drove off along Ebenezer Church Road toward N.C. 27, and then turned left onto Festus Road.

The four men got back into their vehicle and followed the bus, then passed it and tried to make it stop, Huber said. The bus driver went around the vehicle and continued toward N.C. 27, where the bus hit a stop sign.

“Of course, the bus had to stop,” Huber said. “One of the guys got out of the car, which was now behind the bus, ran up to the door and was yelling for Pedro. Well, Pedro was not on the bus at that point.”

The bus driver turned onto the highway and

drove into Coats, where he proceeded to the Police Department. A short time later, a sheriff’s deputy and Coats police officer saw the suspects’ vehicle parked on the side of Abattoir Road, the Sheriff’s Office said.

Charged with attempted kidnapping, impeding a school bus, pattern gang activity and going armed to the terror of the people were: Ismael Gonzalez, 21, of the 400 block of Forever Lane in Coats; Edgar E. Ochoa, 17, of the 300 block of Forever Lane in Coats; Richard Gonzalez, 18, of the 200 block of Forever Lane in Coats; and Roger Rodriguez, 20, of the 100 block of Sweet Jenny Lane in Lillington.

More light on hirings, firings of gov. employees Our View Issue A state law that went into effect on Oct. 1 allows public view of the reasons behind dismissals, hirings and such for government employees

Our stance These are taxpayerfunded positions, and the taxpayers have a right to know why important decisions were made

W

hen the Lee County Board of Education accepted the resignation of its superintendent a few years back, any discussion the board had on the issue was protected by a state law that allows the release of no more than an employee’s current salary, position and job status.

In other words, if the matter was discussed — personnel issues are allowed to be discussed in closed session, away from the public eye — the details would have been protected from public view. The same went for any unexplained dismissal (or transfer ... or promotion), making North Carolina the only state in the

nation that protected government employees’ records in such a way.

Until now.

According to the Charlotte Observer, a new state law went into effect on Oct. 1 that makes information such as suspensions, transfers, demotions, dismissals and other personnel decisions (and the discussions that went into those decisions) public.

At issue now, however, is whether or not the law should be applied retroactively to employment decisions made before Oct. 1. According to The Observer, the state personnel office has sought an attorney general opinionon

the issue.

Noelle Talley, spokeswoman for Attorney General Roy Cooper, said Cooper’s office is preparing a response, which she said should be completed soon, The Observer reported, adding that there is nothing in the new law that specifies whether it should be applied retroactively or prospectively.

Should the law go beyond Oct. 1, it could make waves locally.

Beyond the superintendent’s sudden resignation in 2008, there have been unexplained resignations, terminations and promotions in all levels of local government. You can bet inquiries will be made should the veil

be lifted further back.

Whether or not that happens, we’re happy with the change in the law, as it without a doubt sheds more light on local government.

City and county employees’ salaries are taxpayer supported, and it’s insane that the decisions that went into their raises, firings or demotions were shielded from the public to begin with.

That’s not to say some privacy isn’t warranted. Working for the government doesn’t mean your entire life is up for public scrutiny. But your performance — and the evaluations from your taxpayer-supported bosses — should be.

The weaponry has advanced further — witness the shocking suicide of an 18-year-old student at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Tyler Clementi was known for his sweetness and violinplaying. His roommate, Dharan Ravi, and another freshman, Molly Wei, used a webcam on an open laptop to secretly capture Clementi having gay sex in his dorm room.

This was a live Internet video feed that Ravi advertised to followers on Twitter. A humiliated Clementi responded by writing a suicide note on his Facebook page and then jumping to his death off the George Washington Bridge.

Associated Press has found at least 12 cases of teenagers between 11 and 18 killing themselves as a result of cyber-cruelty. As communications technology has empowered terrorists, it has enabled young sadists to injure others without having to see the target’s face. ...

Clementi’s tormentors are now in deep trouble. Authorities in New Jersey have charged Ravi and Wei with invasion of privacy. They may be accused of a hate crime, though they’ve shown no particular animus against gay people.

Their Facebook friends (and lawyer) hold that the two thought they were merely committing a prank — Ravi had actually liked Clementi. Though their conduct was appalling, there could be something in the argument that they hadn’t expected events to turn so tragic.

One clearly doesn’t have to be young to show such dreadful judgment, but it helps.

The saddest part is that Clementi might have survived the crisis had he been older and more seasoned against hurt. A few more days to work through the calamity, especially with the help of others, might have pulled him through.

Is there a way to protect younger people from online creeps and from their own indiscretions?

One idea is to simply keep them off of social networking sites. But that’s possible only for younger teens and children. Children in middle school or lower have no business joining any social networking site.

Another is to teach all users of this media that anything they put on the Internet can be seen by the entire world and forever. An e-mail message is not a foolish letter that can be retrieved and burned. Anything online is there for keeps.

Perhaps we all have to develop a thick skin for what others say about us in cyberspace. Almost everyone has a critic with a computer.

Finally, we all should understand that only constant vigilance will preserve our privacy. Chilling thought, but even a laptop sitting alone in a corner can be turned against us.

orth Carolina and South Carolina are arguing again. This time it is not about whether Andrew Jackson was born in the South Carolina or the North Carolina section of the Waxhaw region that crosses the borderline between the two states.

Today’s Prayer

Why is it that when a person dons the title “journalist,” they usually drop the faculty of common sense?

“Nation failing at religious tolerance” (The Herald, Oct. 7) is a prime example.

So guys, I started the “Church of What’s Happinin’ Now,” and we pray using profanities. Further, I want to exercise my right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion and start to pray for you guys in your next editorial meeting (do you have those or does this nonsense come to you in a dream?).

“Oh dear Verbos (our God), please help these #*+*^&%#%$ glorious #%^&^%$ continue to *&*^&%$ speak out and be %^%$# brave!

Amen.”

Now you bastions of religious tolerance will have no problem with me praying for you at your next meeting.

Maybe I bring my whole church, three more people, to your meeting and we pray in concert. Oh, Verbos only speaks. He has trouble hearing, so we pray with loud speakers.

Oh, and Islam is a religion of peace and we just misunderstand them.

And one last thing, the check is in the mail.

Are you guys serious?

FRANK DEL PALAZZO Sanford

Voting out Etheridge will hurt D.C. liberal agenda To the Editor: Friends and neighbors, we have a very important event scheduled for Nov. 2 of this year. It is our mid-term elections.

We have a chance to undo some of the damage done to our country by the results of the 2008 election. We will have a chance to go from “Hope and Change” to “Change and Hope” if we don’t blow it this time around.

Our congressman from the 2nd District, Bob Ethridge, has voted for the cap and trade bill (higher energy costs), the massive health Care bill (higher medical cost) when and if the two thousand plus page bill is finally interpreted, and almost every other bill that Nancy Pelosi has introduced.

It would appear that California has an extra congressman since our congressman has voted for over 90 percent of her very liberal agenda.

The tax cuts that President Bush enacted are to expire at the end of this year. Not renewing the tax cuts would be the same as having a tax increase during a recession. Would anyone care to guess as to how Ethridge would vote on this issue? I think he would likely vote the same as Nancy Pelosi asks him to vote.

The liberal Democrats now control both houses of congress and the executive branch of our government.

They now only need one more liberal appointment to the Supreme Court to have a deciding factor in any issue or controversial law passed by a liberal congress.

This isn’t your dad’s Democratic party anymore. Please keep this in mind on Election Day. May God bless the U.S.A. and its people. We certainly need it now if ever.

By Wayne Barber As a member of the ďŹ re service for 36 years, I have seen all too many times the devastation ďŹ re can incur on people and their homes. Watching a household endure the loss of their most valued possessions is simply heartbreaking. But there’s no greater horror than to witness a family suffer the aftermath of one or more loved ones who have perished in a ďŹ re. What’s most tragic about so many of these incidents, and I must admit sometimes frustrating, is that the fatal outcomes often could have been prevented with the presence of properly installed, working smoke alarms.

Each year, nearly 3,000 people die in home ďŹ res; many of those deaths could be avoided with the proper smoke alarm protection. The nonproďŹ t National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) statistics show that while working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a ďŹ re nearly in half, roughly two-thirds of all home ďŹ re deaths result from ďŹ res in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

People have grown so accustomed to seeing smoke alarms in their homes that they feel adequately protected by them. The public’s complacency toward smoke alarms and ďŹ re safety in general must change. With a greater understanding and respect for ďŹ re’s potentially devastating impact, people can start taking the steps necessary to better protect themselves and their families.

NFPA’s recommendations include a smoke alarm installed in all bedrooms, and at least one on every level of the home (including the basement), and outside all sleeping areas. It is also recommended that smoke alarms be interconnected, so that when one sounds, they all do. Most residents are not aware of the two types of smoke alarm technologies available – ionization and photoelectric. Ionization smoke alarms are generally more responsive to aming ďŹ res – like a pan ďŹ re or smoke from cooking. Photoelectric smoke alarms are generally more responsive to smoldering ďŹ res – like a cigarette, overheated wiring, or something hot like a space heater. Both types of smoke alarms should be installed in your home or combination ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms that take advantage of both technologies. Unfortunately, many homes in Sanford, and in communities throughout the U.S., still do not have this level of protection.

As the ofďŹ cial sponsor of Fire Prevention Week, October 3-9, 2010, NFPA is promoting “Smoke Alarms: A Sound You Can Live With!â€? to better educate the public about recommendations for smoke alarms, and the steps they can take to best protect their homes and loved ones. The Sanford Fire Department is actively supporting this campaign through family-oriented events in Sanford during Fire Prevention Week.

Sanford Fire Department is doing its part to educate residents about the importance of installing and maintaining smoke alarms appropriately. But the true safety lies with Sanford and their willingness to take the steps needed to protect their homes and families from ďŹ re.

Our sincere hope is that everyone participates in one or more of these activities, and starts working toward a community from ďŹ re.

(Wayne Barber is the chief of The Sanford Fire Department)

The Sanford Herald / Saturday, October 9, 2010 / 7A

Love Continued from Page 1A

swelling with voter angst over frustratingly high unemployment. “The problem is this depression that we’re in,� Love said Thursday. “The national mood is more of the problem than the local and state government’s actions.�

Love defended his party’s leadership in recent years, as it grappled with crushing budget deficits at a time of rising demands for government services like unemployment.

The Democratic legislator, a Sanford native and longtime attorney, said the state is touted by multiple sources, including Forbes magazine, as a prime location for business. “We must be doing something right,� Love said.

Love was a fixture in the N.C. House of Representatives from 1967 to the mid1970s. After decades as a local lawyer, Love re-entered the fray for the 51st District seat, which includes Lee County, in 2006, winning reelection two years later. His party has been under fire of late, blamed by Republicans for high unemployment and big budget deficits.

Meanwhile, he’s been the target of GOP opponents who cite a 1998 lawsuit in which one of his legal clients accused the lawmaker of making inappropriate

sexual advances toward her, although the woman later dropped her claims and was ordered by a jury to pay Love $20,000 for slandering him.

Love said state officials could tackle Lee County’s jobless woes in a number of ways, chiefly by improving the local business climate, speeding tax cuts for small businesses and backing economic incentives offered by state and local governments.

Officials have credited a combination of state and local grants with landing a $28 million Caterpillar expansion in Sanford this summer.

Stone has voted against incentives since he assumed a post on the City Council, blasting the practice as an unhealthy trend that leads governments to high-stakes bidding wars for industrial recruitment.

According to Love, leaders need to back the tax breaks to help the economy grow and compete with aggressive recruitment bids from rival states. “As long as other people are doing it, we’ve got to be ready,� he said.

Love promised if reelected to vote against state budget cuts that leave county and municipal governments reeling to make ends meet, a major concern cited by a number of local government leaders in recent years as state budget deficits mounted. “Obviously, the state has done some of that in the past,� he said. “I do not like

HHEADQUARTERS ALLOWEEN

cramdowns. I do not think the state should be a party to it.�

Love pointed out that he and his Democratic colleagues saved counties millions of dollars when they voted two years ago to absorb the cost of Medicaid bills previously footed by local governments.

Nevertheless, Love said lawmakers are anticipating another large budget shortfall like the $1 billion deficit that rocked North Carolina this year. “What we’ve got to do is we’ve got to trim some and make whatever cuts we need to make to balance the budget,� he said. “Obviously, we can’t go in there with an ax. We’re constitutionally directed to educate everybody in the public schools that wants to be educated, and we’ve got to provide for the community colleges and provide for the safety and welfare of our citizens.�

Love suggested the state could save some cash through prison reform, shifting non-violent offenders to “day-reporting� services, where he said convicts would be required to verify regularly, perhaps even daily, that they are working to support their family and staying off drugs and alcohol.

Love said the state has spent $250 million alone on prison medical expenses during a two-year budget cycle.

that pillage county coffers. “Everything is on the table,�

Stone said Thursday. “Government has to take a new approach.

The economy’s bad and it’s not the citizens’ fault. What a great time to cut programs we don’t need.�

Stone said he would seek to slash corporate income taxes to attract industry to the region, an alternative to the economic incentives he’s voted against repeatedly on the Sanford City Council.

He has also touted his ownership of Jonesboro-area O’Connell’s Grocery Store as an indicator that he would represent small businesses in the state House.

The candidate is not without his critics though, with Democrats blasting Stone in recent weeks for what they describe as a pattern of missteps and improprieties.

As ammo, they cite a 2003 illegal pirating suit against Stone, ABC violations at his Jonesboro market and a blunder earlier this year when his supporters placed campaign signs in Lee County before local ordinances allowed.

Others complain that his staunch opposition to using local tax breaks as incentives ignores the ultimate gain to the local tax base when companies are wooed by the incentives into settling within the region.

But GOP backers of Stone say residents will focus on the issues when they head to the polls this fall, namely soaring unemployment, a frustratingly slow economy and enormous state budget deficits that give reason to oust Love.

Stone Continued from Page 1A

Stone’s candidacy comes at a time of swelling anger against lawmakers in Raleigh and the nation’s capital.

The Sanford resident has seized upon that anger during his campaign, pledging to clean up corrupt politicians in Raleigh and stand firm against tax increases during the economic recession.

He’s been a regular at local campaign events, stumping for Republicans and himself at recent protests against government spending.

Stone did not return phone calls for an interview this week, although he did joust with Love in a Sanford Herald debate Thursday. “I will not give you a tax increase if I have to vote against the Republican Party,� Stone said. “Leadership in Raleigh has got to change, and I will be your voice.�

Stone has blamed recurring budget deficits at the state level on poor leadership, pledging to back deep cuts in the state budget as North Carolina legislators anticipate a multi-billion shortfall next year.

Legislators in both parties have admitted the need for major spending cuts due to withering government income, mounting expenses and sluggish commerce.

The deficit could cut a wide swath in Lee County depending on whether lawmakers opt to scrimp on local government funding, although Stone has pledged to stand against state directives

APEX — For the second straight year, Lee County gave Middle Creek all it could handle.

For the second straight year, it ended in heartbreak for the Yellow Jackets.

Middle Creek quarterback Garrett Leathum’s 32nd completion was the most important as he found Chris Hubert from sixyards out to give the Mustangs the 21-20 victory over Lee County on Friday night at Mustangs Stadium.

The Yellow Jackets led 20-15 with under a minute to go, but Leathum led the Mustangs on an 80-yard drive that resulted in

QUICKREAD NFL Smith, Martin out for Panthers against Bears CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Carolina Panthers will be without top receiver Steve Smith and starting safety Sherrod Martin against Chicago because of injuries.

Smith hasn’t practiced since spraining his left ankle in Sunday’s loss to New Orleans and has been in a protective boot this week. Martin has been sidelined since sustaining a concussion against the Saints.

Linebacker Jamar Williams and right tackle Jeff Otah also won’t play Sunday against the Bears. Williams has a neck injury and Otah hasn’t played or practiced all season because of a knee problem.

Running back DeAngelo Williams practiced for the second straight day Friday following an illness and is probable for Sunday. Cornerback Captain Munnerlyn practiced and is probable despite a sore foot.

Lee County falls to 6-2 on the season and was handed its first loss in the Tri-9 Conference. The Yellow Jackets head into their bye week next week with a 4-1 conference record.

Middle Creek remains unbeaten in the conference, which makes the Mustangs tied with Panther Creek for first place in the league.

Middle Creek (6-1, 4-0) built a 9-0 lead after the first quarter, but

SANFORD — The elation of last week’s Southern Lee victory — its first in 24 games — died out pretty quickly against Gray’s Creek Friday night.

The Bears’ Devonte Cooley scored just under four minutes in the game for the first of his six touchdowns on the night as Gray’s Creek proved why it sits atop the Cape Fear Valley Conference Standings with a 63-21 victory over the Cavaliers.

Cooley scored four of his touchdowns in the first half as the Bears jumped out to a commanding 42-7 lead at the half. He added another to open the third quarter, and finished with 136 yards on just 12 carries.

Gray’s Creek finished with 403 total yards — 342 of which came on the ground.

John Chiles added a 73-yard kickoff return in the second quarter, answering the Cavs’ lone score of the first half.

To cap off the Southern’s first scoring drive, Quentin Ingram caught an 8-yard pass from quarterback Ashton Gaines with three minutes to play in the half. But the Bears answered with Chiles’ return and a scoring reception from Cooley to quell the Cavs’ momentum.

Gaines finished the night 12-for-25 for 104 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions.

Unknowns abound as Tar Heels set to host Tigers

Several Chase drivers well back in Fontana field

BY BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald-Sun

CHAPEL HILL — During the most recent game between North Carolina and Clemson in 2006, John Bunting was the coach and quarterback T.J. Yates was a redshirt freshman who watched the 52-7 rout on TV in Chapel Hill.

In fact, when the Tigers visit Kenan Stadium today (3:30 p.m., WTVD), fifthyear senior tight end Ryan Taylor will be the only UNC player to have faced Clemson — including Tar Heels coach Butch Davis.

“It is a little bit unusual,” said Davis, who will be facing the Tigers for the first time in his 36-year career.

Both Clemson, which hasn’t played at Kenan Stadium since 2002, and UNC will be searching for their first ACC wins of the season.

The Tigers (2-2, 0-1 ACC) are coming off back-to-back losses to No. 8 Auburn and No. 13 Miami, while the Tar Heels (2-2, 0-1 ACC) enter the game on a two-game winning streak.

FONTANA, Calif. (AP) — Jamie McMurray has just missed the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship several times, including an oh-so-close 14th-place finish this season.

On a fast-but-slick track in California, the Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400 champion was able to find more speed than any of the Chase drivers.

McMurray earned his fourth pole of the season Friday, posting a fast lap of 185.285 mph around Auto Club Speedway’s two-mile oval while many of the Chase drivers struggled.

“I feel like the media makes a bigger deal about the guys who aren’t in the Chase and what they’re using the Chase for,” said McMurray, who had three career poles before this season. “We’re not really doing anything different than we would have if we were in the Chase.”

Connecticut admits major violations, imposes sanctions HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The University of Connecticut has admitted its men’s basketball program committed major NCAA recruiting violations and has imposed its own sanctions, including two years’ probation and a loss of one scholarship for the next two seasons.

But the university says the evidence does not support the NCAA allegation that coach Jim Calhoun — who has won two national titles with the Huskies — failed to promote an atmosphere for compliance.

In a report released Friday, the school acknowledges its basketball staff made impermissible telephone calls and text messages as cited by the NCAA in a May report that followed a 15-month investigation. It also admits it improperly provided free game tickets to high school coaches and others.

A hearing is set for Oct. 15 before the NCAA infractions committee, which could accept UConn’s decision or impose additional penalties. “I am deeply disappointed the university is in this position,� University of Connecticut President Philip E. Austin said in a statement. “It is clear mistakes have been made. This is a serious matter, and we have worked in full cooperation with the NCAA. We look forward to fully resolving these issues and restoring our men’s basketball program to a level of unquestioned integrity.�

The allegations stem from the recruitment of former player Nate Miles, who was expelled from UConn in October 2008 without ever playing a game for the Huskies. He was charged with violating a restraining order in a case involving a woman who claimed he assaulted her.

The NCAA and the school have been investigating the program since shortly after a report by Ya-

hoo! Sports in March 2009 that former team manager Josh Nochimson helped guide Miles to Connecticut, giving him lodging, transportation, meals and representation.

As a former team manager, Nochimson is considered a representative of UConn’s athletic interests by the NCAA and prohibited from having contact with Miles or giving him anything of value.

The school said it found that the basketball staff exchanged more than 1,400 calls and 1,100 text messages with Nochimson between June 2005 and December 2008.

The school’s responses to the allegations, totaling more than 700 pages, were given to the NCAA on Sept. 7, but made public Friday after the school redacted items to comply with federal education privacy laws.

Calhoun said in his own response that he investigated whether there was an improper relationship between Nochimson and the recruit, and warned the player against getting involved with Nochimson. “If a prospect and an agent are going to engage in conduct violative of NCAA legislation hundreds and thousands of miles away from campus, there is only so much a head coach can do to prevent the conduct,� his attorney wrote.

VOLLEYBALL Campbell upends FGCU, 3-0 BUIES CREEK — Caitlin Bendy blocked Campbell to a 3-0 (25-19, 25-22, 25-17) Atlantic Sun victory over visiting Florida Gulf Coast Friday night inside the John W. Pope Jr. Convocation Center.

Campbell improves to 7-12 overall with its fifth win in seven matches, and 2-1 in A-Sun play. FGCU falls to 4-13 on the year with a 1-2 conference tally. The win was Campbell’s first ever over the Eagles, after dropping the previous six contests in the series’ history, which dates back to 2006.

Bendy collected a school record 12 block assists in the match, despite only playing three sets, notching nearly half of the Camels’ 30 team block assists, also a school record. The previous individual mark was held by Jennie Heires (1989-90) at Mt. Olive in 1990, Rachel Templin (2003-06) vs. East Tennessee State in 2006 and Bendy against Morgan State last season, who posted 10 assisted blocks.

Those matches were five, three and five sets, respectively, taking wins at Mt. Olive and against Morgan State.

The team single match record surpassed the former mark of 28, set against Stetson in 2006, a 3-1 win for the Camels.

A senior middle blocker from Stony Brook, N.Y., Bendy added five kills, two digs and an ace. Senior Allyson Goldbach posted a team-high eight kills, adding seven digs, two blocks and an ace, while senior Emily Werner collected seven scores with eight digs, three blocks and a pair of aces.

Junior Annie Kobeski also registered five kills with three blocks, and senior Caroline Hammersley racked up three kills with six blocks, a careerhigh for the Raleigh, N.C. native. Junior Kelsey Campbell paced CU with 14 digs, and Lauren Garza added eight.

EAST CAROLINA AT SO. MISS.

BOSTON COLLEGE AT N.C. STATE

East Carolina heads to Southern Miss. facing offensive showdown

Eagles have had Pack’s number

HATTIESBURG, Miss.

(AP) — In its most important game of the season to date, Southern Miss will be without leading rusher Desmond Johnson.

The 5-foot-11, 195pound sophomore was suspended on Thursday for a “violation of team rules,� leaving the Golden Eagles short-handed going into Saturday’s Conference USA showdown against East Carolina. He’s rushed for 296 yards and three touchdowns this season.

Though Johnson’s absence isn’t good news, Southern Miss (4-1, 1-0 CUSA) has plenty of capable backs to make up the lost yardage, including V.J. Floyd, Kendrick Hardy and Tracy Lampley.

That’s good news, considering the Golden Eagles might need to put a bunch of crooked numbers on the scoreboard to top East Carolina (2-2, 2-0) and its potent offense. “East Carolina’s really good on offense — there’s no doubt about it,� USM coach Larry Fedora said. “They throw the ball around it and have done a really good job with it.�

East Carolina has won back-to-back Conference USA championships, but lost a huge senior class of 28 players to graduation after the 2009 season. The Pirates also have a new coach, Ruffin McNeill, who was the defensive coordinator at Texas Tech before coming to East Carolina.

So far, the results have been mixed. The Pirates, who won their consecutive championships largely because of terrific defense, are now scoring 36 points per game, but giving up nearly 42.

Though East Carolina’s defense has obviously struggled, USM offensive coordinator Blake Anderson said those statistics are a little skewed. The Pirates have played two quality non-conference games against North Carolina and Virginia Tech, and opened the season against Tulsa, a program known for its offense.

McNeill said he’s seen some improvement from

Southern Miss quarterback Austin Davis (12) congratulates running back Desmond Johnson (7) after scoring against Kansas earlier this year.

In its most important game of the season to date, Southern Miss will be without leading rusher Johnson, who was suspended on Thursday for a “violation of team rules.� his defense, but inexperience is still a problem. “I wish I could magically sprinkle some dust on them to make them grow up and get stronger, but that’s not going to happen,� McNeill said. “The only time you can develop the things we have to work on is through game experience. I wish I could do it differently, but I can’t and we can’t. We just have to be patient.�

Southern Miss hopes to prolong East Carolina’s defensive suffering by using a combination of playmakers.

Even without Johnson, the Golden Eagles have options. Floyd has started all five games, rushing for 168 yards and a touchdown. Promising freshman Kendrick Hardy has averaged 5.9 yards per carry in limited playing time. Lampley, at 5-foot-9 and 169 pounds, provides a breakaway threat in the running or passing game.

There’s also hope that receiver DeAndre Brown will be able to return from a lower-leg injury. The 6-foot-6, 239-pound junior is undeniably one of the most talented players on the roster, but injuries and clashes with the coaching staff have hurt his production.

RALEIGH (AP) — Since Tom O’Brien took over at North Carolina State, the Wolfpack just can’t seem to beat his former Boston College program.

They get another shot at the Eagles on Satuday.

Boston College has scored plenty of points and made life difficult on the coach who led the Eagles for 10 seasons. BC has won all three meetings since O’Brien arrived here before the 2007 season, scoring at least 37 points each time “The last three years, it’s been pretty bad against BC,� receiver Darrell Davis said. “We just want to — especially at home since we lost last week — we definitely want to make sure that we’re sticking it in their minds early in the game that we’re not going to follow the previous years’ trends.�

Perhaps the most immediate challenge facing the Wolfpack (4-1, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) will be to shake off the disappointment from last week’s loss to Virginia Tech. N.C. State held its first national ranking in seven years and a 17-0

good on offense and very good on defense. And on special teams, they are outstanding.�

More specifically it will be the best rushing attack the Tar Heels have faced all season, despite the Tigers losing 2009 ACC player of the year C.J. Spiller. Sophomore Andre Ellington leads the league in touchdowns (7) and rushing yards per game (95.0), while junior Jamie Harper adds 49 yards per game on the ground. They also are two of the top three targets for quarterback Kyle Parker. “The best two running backs we’ll probably face until we get to Miami,�

UNC linebacker Bruce Carter said.

The senior said both are quick, and UNC’s defense will need to all be on the same page to contain them.

The loss drained the buzz around a program that had limped through injuries or slow starts during the previous three seasons. But Davis said the players are trying not to let the loss hang around very long. “Guys in the past haven’t always been positive in losing,� Davis said. “We’ve pointed fingers and (guys have) kind of done their own thing, went their own way. We’ve just been trying to keep everybody together, let

them know it’s not always bad when you lose.�

O’Brien also pointed out the loss also gave the Wolfpack a series of things to focus on for the week of practice.

N.C. State had nine penalties against the Hokies, threw three interceptions and allowed a 92-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. “You can’t have those type of mistakes in a big football game like we were in and expect that you’re going to have success,� O’Brien said.

The Eagles (2-2, 0-1) are preparing for their

KEYS TO THE GAME Turnover margin It’s no secret that turnovers can be the difference between a win and a loss, so the Tar Heels need to make sure they take care of the ball while also forcing the Tigers to give it up. Clemson lost the ball six times in a loss to Miami a week ago, including three fumbles.

Running wild Clemson’s backfield won’t be the only tailbacks to keep on an eye today. UNC’s tandem of Johnny White and Shaun Draughn ran for a combined 263 yards a week ago against ECU, the most in the Butch Davis era.

A solid ground game will help open the passing attack for UNC quarterback T.J. Yates.

Rising pressure For the past two weeks, UNC’s defense has made life uncomfortable for opposing quarterbacks. The defensive line sacked the Rutgers quarterbacks fives times, while picking off the ECU quarterback three times. Clemson quarterback Kyle Parker might be the best of the bunch, but he threw three interceptions a week ago.

“I think Clemson, as a whole, is as good as people make them,â€? defensive end Donte PaigeMoss said. “I believe a lot of the big runs come off people making mistakes. ‌ So I believe if we fit our gaps right and tackle good, then I believe we’ll

take care of everything we need to.�

Of course, getting Williams, a senior with 38 career starts, back today will add another dimension to UNC’s defense, which gave up 372 rushing yards in a loss to Georgia Tech.

first road game, though they’ve lost their past two games to Virginia Tech and Notre Dame by a combined score of 50-13.

Boston College’s most obvious question is at quarterback, where coach Frank Spaziani recently benched Dave Shinskie and turned to true freshman Chase Rettig.

But Rettig is hobbled by an ankle injury suffered last week, and Spaziani will start Shinskie over sophomore Mike Marscovetra against the Wolfpack.

Boston College failed to tally at least 300 yards in either of its last two games and had a combined five turnovers. The Eagles also had 12 penalties for 120 yards against Notre Dame. “I think the most successful athletes and coaches are the ones that seem the calmest and coolest in the darkest hours,� BC safety Wes Davis said. “But the performances are there. And even if you’re calm, cool and collected, you have to assess the situation objectively. And right now, there are problems that need to be fixed.� “He’s always been a vocal leader, but he’s talking a whole lot more,� said senior safety Da’Norris Searcy, who returned a week ago against East Carolina after missing the first three games because of the investigations. “He’s just showing his emotions right now.�

And after wins over Rutgers, Georgia Tech and ECU, the Tar Heels have momentum heading into a stretch of three consecutive ACC games.

Yates said both the offense and defense are playing with confidence right now, and the Heels are focused on getting their first league victory. “I’ve never played against [Clemson], and I know a lot of the guys on this team never have either,� Yates said. “It’s going to be a challenge.

I know a lot of guys are focused and kind of excited to play an opponent no one has played before.�

HELSINKI (AP) — Rookie Jeff Skinner scored the only goal of the shootout and Cam Ward was strong in goal, leading the Carolina Hurricanes past the Minnesota Wild 2-1 Friday for a sweep of the two season-opening games in Finland.

Skinner, an 18-yearold forward, also set up Carolina’s first goal from Tuomo Ruutu, which tied the game two minutes into the second period.

The Wild opened the scoring 17 minutes into the first period on Andrew Brunette’s goal.

Ward made 41 saves for Carolina, stopping Mikko Koivu, Brent Burns and Antti Miettinen in the shootout to preserve

the victory. “This was my second game, and a great way to finish that off,� Skinner said. “First, I was looking to shoot, but the puck was rolling on me and I tried to settle it down. It sort of opened up for me then.� “It’s pretty big,� he added. “It has not really sunk in yet. So far I have a lot of memories from my first two games.�

The game was played before a sellout crowd of 13,465 and was more confrontational than Thursday night’s 4-3 victory by Carolina. There were two early fights and a nasty one between the Wild’s Eric Nystrom and Tom Kostopoulos of the Hurricanes.

Minnesota captain Mikko Koivu was a force in the offensive end. His shot led to Brunette’s opening goal off a rebound at 17:23 of the first period.

One key for Carolina was its short-handed play for 5 1/2 minutes during the second period, which featured a 30-second stretch in which it was two men short. Another was the goaltending of Ward, who was unruffled by crowding in the crease and covered every pointblank shot.

Minnesota had chances late in the game.

Martin Havlat failed to score on two breakaways, the puck gliding almost along the goal line on the second try in overtime.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — From no hits to no defense.

Reds right fielder Jay Bruce missed a line drive in the seventh inning, allowing two runs to score, and the Philadelphia Phillies took advantage of Cincinnati’s shoddy defense to earn a 7-4 win Friday night for a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five NL division series.

After Roy Halladay threw the second no-hitter in postseason history in Philadelphia’s 4-0 victory Wednesday, the Reds were determined to show their resilience.

Brandon Phillips hit a leadoff homer on Roy Oswalt’s fourth pitch and the Reds built a 4-0 lead before their defense and bullpen unraveled.

The Phillies rallied against hard-throwing rookie Aroldis Chapman and his triple-digit fastball after soft-tossing starter Bronson Arroyo kept Philadelphia’s hitters off balance.

Game 3 is Sunday night in Cincinnati. Cole Hamels, the 2008 World Series MVP, pitches for the Phillies. Johnny Cueto is on the mound for the Reds.

Leading 4-3, the Reds turned to Chapman to protect the slim margin in the seventh. The 22-yearold Cuban came in firing, but he hit Chase Utley with a 101 mph fastball leading off. It wasn’t clear whether the ball grazed Utley’s right forearm, but he didn’t seem shaken.

Cincinnati Reds right fielder Jay Bruce (32) misses a ball hit by Philadelphia Phillies’ Jimmy Rollins during the seventh inning of Game 2 of the National League Division Series Friday.

After Ryan Howard struck out, Jayson Werth hit a bouncer to third baseman Scott Rolen.

Utley beat the throw to second on a close call.

Phillips threw his arms up and Reds manager Dusty Baker came out to argue briefly.

Jimmy Rollins then hit a liner to right that Bruce turned into a two-base error. Bruce appeared to lose the ball in the lights or the sea of white-andred “Fightin’ Phils� rally towels. The ball rolled past him and Utley scored the tying run. Werth scored without a play when Phillips dropped the relay throw for another error, and the Phillies took a 5-4 lead.

Raul Ibanez followed with a single and Carlos Ruiz hit an RBI grounder for a 6-4 lead.

Werth hit an RBI single off Nick Masset in the eighth to cap the scoring.

Jose Contreras tossed a perfect seventh to earn the win. Ryan Madson worked the eighth and Brad Lidge pitched around a leadoff walk in the ninth for the save.

Third baseman Placido Polanco made a diving, backhanded stab on Chris Heisey’s hard grounder and threw to first to end it.

The Reds finished second in the NL with a club-record .988 fielding percentage, but four errors led to five unearned runs.

NFL looking into allegations against Favre

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The NFL said Friday it would review allegations involving the Vikings’ Brett Favre, who the website Deadspin said sent racy messages and photos to a former game hostess while he was the Jets’ quarterback in 2008.

The league action comes one day after the site posted a video that included below-the-waist photos, said to be of Favre.

The Vikings will travel to New York to play the Jets on Monday night.

“We are reviewing the matter,” league spokes-

man Greg Aiello said when asked about reports that a person alleged to be Favre sent voice mails and lewd pictures to Jenn Sterger.

Asked to respond to the Deadspin report on Thursday, Favre said: “I’m not getting into that. I’ve got my hands full with the Jets and am trying to get some timing down with our guys, so that’s all I’m going to discuss.”

Vikings coach Brad Childress had no comment after Friday’s practice.

He said he was not aware of either the NFL’s

yards and two touchdowns.

Wilson finished 13-of27 for 135 yards and two touchdown passes, both of which went to Swann.

Swann finished his evening with four catches for 69 yards.

Last year, the Yellow Jackets and Mustangs were tied at 35 late in the game.

Leathum led the Mustangs down field to set up the game winning 46-yard field goal to give Middle Creek the 38-35 win as time expired.

The Yellow Jackets will return to the field in two weeks when they host Cary in another Tri-9 Conference game that could have serious implications in the league standings.

failed and the Mustangs held a 15-14 lead with 8:43 remaining in the game.

Wilson found Swann again for a 56-yard touchdown pass with 5:08 remaining in the game.

Once again, however, the two-point conversion failed and Lee County took a 20-15 lead.

Then Leathum’s arm and Naylaan Lopez’s speed led the Mustangs on the 80-yard drive, which resulted in Hubert’s game winning touchdown reception.

Leathum finished the game 32-of-50 for 359

fier for the Chase, was just behind McMurray and will start on the front row Sunday in the 400mile race.

Matt Kenseth, 11th in the Chase standings, qualified third, and Greg Biffle was seventh after entering eighth in the Chase. Points leader Jimmie Johnson was in solid position, too, qualifying eighth.

After that, there’ll be a lot of chasing by the Chasers.

Nine drivers enter the weekend within 101 points of the Chase lead, but that could change quickly if a few don’t do a whole lot of passing in the wide lanes at Auto Club Speedway.

Five of the top six spots for Sunday’s race will be non-Chase drivers and five drivers who made it into for the final 10-race run toward the championship qualified 20th or worse, including two who’ll be near the back of the pack.

Carl Edwards, fourth in the Chase standings, qualified 20th. Kevin Harvick, who’s just ahead of Edwards in the title race, was 21st. Tony Stewart, 10th in the Chase, was 22nd.

They’re still well ahead of Denny Hamlin and Kurt Busch.

Busch, 70 points behind Johnson in sixth, labored through qualifying and will start back near the owner’s points qualifiers in 38th.

Hamlin entered the weekend eight points behind Johnson and had another rough day, running nearly 5 mph slower than McMurray to qualify 34th. He lost the points lead after struggling in Kansas last week

also finished with 76 yards on the ground on nine carries. Tory Davis added 70 yards on nine carries as well. Quarterback Caleb McNeill had a 3-for-7 night passing for 61 yards and a touchdown.

Look for more from Friday’s game in Sunday’s sports section of The Herald. and could be tightening his grip on the steering wheel like he did with Johnson in his rearview mirror a year ago.

“If I come here and don’t think we can win, then we’re in trouble,” Hamlin said. “I do have a number in my head, but I keep it to myself and say first-place is all that matters this weekend.”

Kenseth had a nice run at a good time.

He’s well back in the Chase standings (149 points behind Johnson) and hasn’t been particularly strong at qualifying this season. Kenseth and his team seemed to find something Kansas, where he qualified eighth and it carried over into California.

“It was a good lap for us,” Kenseth said. “Obviously, I’m usually not the best qualifier, but we made some adjustments and fixed the things I was complaining about in practice and got a good lap out of it.”

Johnson is in good position to pad his lead as he races toward a fifth straight Sprint Cup championship.

He rallied from a poor qualifying session in Kansas last week and worked his way through the crowd to finish 12th and move past Hamlin in the season race. Johnson likes racing in California, too, with four of his five titles at Auto Club Speedway coming over the past six races in his home state.

“It’s going to be an exciting race and honestly, I’m very excited for what it’s going to be like on Sunday,” Johnson said.

“I think we’re going to put on a good show and really race hard for this win.”

So will a lot of other Chase drivers — they’ll have to after the way they qualified.

investigation or the website’s allegations. Bus Cook, the agent for the three-time league MVP, didn’t immediately return messages.

Deadspin reported that a man alleged to be Favre contacted Sterger on MySpace and began

leaving her voicemails. The website posted a video of the voicemails and several graphic pictures allegedly sent to Sterger’s cell phone.

“Send me a text. Love to see you tonight,” one voicemail said.

The 26-year-old Sterg-

er, now a TV personality for Versus, has a website that describes her as an actress, model, writer and television host. Her duties during Jets games included introducing the Jets’ dance team, asking trivia questions and mak-

ing announcements to the crowd.

Sterger’s manager Phil Reese said she is “not doing any interviews or commenting at this time,” but that “Jenn did not provide Deadspin with any information.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Emotions will be hard to hide and sharing your thoughts and intentions is probably your best bet. With change will come greater opportunity but first you must let go of what’s not working for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Know what you are talking about before you offer your opinion.

Being blamed for exaggeration will not put you in a good position. Tell it like it is and have the facts and figures to back you up.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Stick to the projects you promised you would complete. You will face criticism if you don’t do everything by the book.

Focus on your attributes and offer the services you know you can do well. An added responsibility will entail a journey.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): You’ll have lifealtering choices to make.

There are positive possibilities but, if you choose to take shortcuts, you will wish you hadn’t. Look at the legal and financial aspects and calculate the risks involved.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Put all your emphasis on the here and now.

A transition is about to happen but you must be positioned properly if you want to take action and benefit. Love and romance are apparent, so put time aside for fun.

DEAR GETTING GRAY: If ever I heard of someone who NEEDS a backseat driver, it is your mother.

It’s bad enough that someone alone in a car would do the dangerous things she is doing, but for a parent to do it with a child in the car is beyond the pale. It’s child endangerment. Clip this column, circle your letter and show it to your mother! o DEAR ABBY: Our youngest daughter, “Camille,” has been married for a year. During this time my husband and I have watched Camille berate her husband, “Mike,” in front of us and others.

When I ask her why she does it, her answer is invariably, “He does these annoying things to tick me off.” I can’t stand how humiliating it must be for Mike.

Camille’s husband is quiet and passive. Watching my daughter turn him into a wimp is heart-

value what they’ve got often wind up losing it. o

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

breaking. My biggest concern is that they are expecting their first child and, when it comes to mood swings, Camille is in rare form.

I can’t help but wonder how all this will play out. Will this drive Mike off, leaving Camille a single mother?

I have tried talking to my daughter about how wives and husbands should respect one another, but she refuses to listen. Can you advise me in this sad situation before it is too late?

— WORRIED GRANDMA-TO-BE DEAR GRANDMA-TO-BE: Yes, take a look at how Mike’s mother treats his father. It’s possible that Mike is passive and accepting of your daughter’s abuse because that’s what he was brought up to think is normal. However, if that’s not the case, warn your daughter again — and again — that if she continues her verbal abuse and he rediscovers his self-respect, she may eventually find herself raising their child alone. People who don’t

DEAR ABBY: My daughter is in a new relationship. One thing I have noticed that seems to drive guys away is her use of the cell phone.

Before texting became popular, she would feel the need to call a guy during the day to wish him a good day at work. Then she’d try to call him at night to “see how the day went.” Now, with texting, she’ll text him “good morning,” do it again sometime during the day if he doesn’t answer back, then text again in the evening.

I have told her many times that guys get annoyed by this after a few days, but she doesn’t understand. She says it’s a gesture of caring. My daughter is 27, so I can’t take the phone away. How can I tell her to back off?

— TRYING TO HELP IN RAYTOWN, MO. DEAR TRYING TO HELP: The next time your daughter tells you that what she’s doing is a “gesture of caring,” tell her it is also a gesture of STALKING. Remind her that most men like to at least think they are doing some of the chasing, and then tick off for her the names of the many (I’m sure) men she has chased off by doing what she’s doing. If that doesn’t help her to see the light, then accept it — she’s going to be single for a long, long time.

ODDS AND ENDS Pa. blood bank worker won’t be charged for porn IRWIN, Pa. (AP) — Police in a western Pennsylvania town say a blood bank worker won’t be charged for accidentally showing gay pornography to high school students during a blood drive presentation last month.

North Huntingdon police Sgt. Jeffrey Bouldin says Westmoreland County prosecutors determined the incident at the Norwin High School assembly didn’t amount to a crime. The worker was trying to project a presentation stored on his personal flash computer drive when the porn instead popped onto the screen.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review says Central Blood Bank sent a letter explaining the situation to parents and saying the worker violated policies by not having a supervisor review his presentation, and by using a personal computer storage device.

Attorney Peter Payne says he still plans to sue the blood bank on behalf of upset parents in the town about 25 miles east of Pittsburgh.

Money topples from armored car into Ind. traffic INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Money doesn’t grow on trees, but it seemed to fall from the sky in Indianapolis.

Police say three bundles of money fell off the back of an armored car Wednesday near an intersection in the heart of downtown Indianapolis. A car hit one of the bundles and sent bills blowing into the breeze.

Witnesses tell The Indianapolis Star about 10 people stormed through traffic into the intersection to fill their arms with cash.

Two others stopped to help collect the money and guard it until police and the armored car company arrived.

SUDOKU

MY ANSWER It’s not immediately known how much money went missing, but WTHR-TV says most of the blown cash was recovered.

LA-area freeway clogged by burning yam truck GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) — A burning big-rig loaded with yams has caused a hot potato of a traffic problem on a Los Angeles-area freeway.

California Highway Patrol Officer Ed Jacobs says a tractor-trailer hauling 50,000 pounds of the sweet potatoes caught fire on the southbound Interstate 5 in Glendale at about 2:30 a.m. Thursday.

No injuries were reported, but two of the four southbound lanes were closed for about 7 1/2 hours, slowing traffic until the yams could be loaded into another truck. The lanes reopened shortly after 10 a.m.

Carted off: NY police hunt for stolen wiener stand ORANGEBURG, N.Y. (AP) — Police in a suburb northwest of New York City are searching for a stolen hot dog stand.

Owner Fred Martucci tells the Journal News that he’s devastated over the loss of “Fred’s Franks.” He used the 10-foot-long, 7-foot-wide stainless steel trailer to support his family in Orangeburg for more than a year.

Orangetown Police Detective Sgt. George Garrecht says the hot dog heist happened on the evening of Sept. 30.

Three men pulled into a parking lot, cut the trailer’s locks and cables, hitched it to their pickup truck and drove north on Route 303.

Police have viewed surveillance footage. But they have a limited description of the suspects and vehicle, because it happened on a rainy night.

Find peace in the face of death Q: I have a bad case of emphysema, and I know I don’t have long to live. The doctor says I got it because I was a heavy smoker (and never really tried to quit, to be honest). I don’t have a question, but maybe my letter will encourage someone to live a cleaner life. -- R.H. A: Thank you for your concern -- and I hope your letter will make an impact on those who read it. Perhaps your life would have been different if someone had made an effort to help you understand the consequences of your habit.

Why should we take care of ourselves? It isn’t only so we’ll live longer. The real reason is because it’s God’s will for us to take care of ourselves -- physically, emotionally and spiritually. God gave our bodies to us, and He meant for us to take care of them and use them for His glory. The Bible says, “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you...? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

My real concern, however, is that very shortly you will enter eternity and meet God. Are you prepared for that day? You can be, by opening your heart and life to Jesus Christ and trusting Him alone for your salvation. Christ came to erase the charges against us by His death on the cross. Make sure of your salvation by putting your life -- and your eternal destiny -- into His hands today.

Then let the promises of God’s Word, the Bible, fill your soul every day.
