Edwards’ fate in jury’s hands BY JASON deBRUYN
Staff Writer
MONROE The fate of a man charged with murder now sits with a jury. Attorneys finished closing arguments Wednesday in the trial of Dan Warren Edwards, 59, formerly of 3204 Collaroy Road, who is charged with first-degree murder. Police said Edwards smothered his wife, Logan Drake Edwards, with a pillow in their Waxhaw home on Oct. 31, 2008. With all evidence submitted, attorneys got the chance to argue their side of the case to the jury.
“You have to convict (Dan Edwards) of first-degree murder because that’s what the evidence shows and that’s what common sense says,” assistant district attorney Steve Higdon told the jury during his closing statements. Edwards’ attorney Richard Culler told the jury that his client acted out of “rage” and “passion,” he said. “It was provoked, it was based on emotion and it was not done under cool or collection.” Culler characterized Dan Edwards as a man who cared deeply for his wife and was crushed
when she no longer reciprocated that love. “When he did what he did, he broke his own heart,” Culler said. “There is overwhelming evidence that Dan Edwards tried everything he could think of to make (the marriage) work.” Dan Edwards testified earlier in the trial, and his attorney commented on Edwards’ appearance. “What you saw on the witness stand was someone trying to show you his heart,” Culler said. Higdon reminded the jury that the trial was not about whether
or not Dan Edwards was a good guy, a good friend or a good coworker; it was a murder trial and Dan Edwards already submitted an eight-page confession and acted out on video how he said he killed his wife. At times during the trial, Culler characterized Logan Edwards as violent and said that Dan Edwards could have been afraid of being assaulted the night Logan Edwards was strangled. It was inappropriate to argue in that manner, Higdon said.

Jennifer Kappas, an early childhood specialist with CCR, worked for a different child care referral agency when she was pregnant with her son. She, too, sought out quality child care through CCR. “There was a child care center literally within walking distance of my home,” she said, “but I wanted to know, ‘Is it good?’” When parents or guardians call CCR, a counselor can guide them
MONROE Commissioners will meet with staff to see if there is a cheap way to resolve a sewer problem in the eastern part of the county. “Absolutely, something needs to be done,” Commissioner Tracy Kuehler said. “The question is what?” The eastern sewer system is in violation of N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources regulations for sewer spills that have become common during heavy rains. Union County faces fines of up to $25,000 per day if the problem is not taken care of by Feb. 4. Public Works director Ed Goscicki proposed a project he said would end the spills and move the county away from fines, but commissioners contend that project, with an $8 million price tag, is too expensive. Part of the problem comes from rain- and groundwater that seeps into sewer pipes maintained by Marshville and Wingate. Commissioner Lanny Openshaw said there is nothing the county can do about that added capacity from those that water, known as inflow and infiltration, or I&I, and it would not be in the county’s best interest to undertake a major over-

Resource Center
Helps parents make choices for their children
BY TIFFANY LANE
Staff Writer
MONROE Carolyn Hazeldine moved from New Jersey to North Carolina five years ago. A former teacher with three young children, she knew she wanted quality child care, but wasn’t familiar with the local programs. “I was in the position to say, ‘They’re not going to be where I have taught,’” she said. Hazeldine turned to Child Care Resources, a free referral agency offering advice on quality child care from birth to age 12. She now serves as senior vice president of institutional advancement for CCR. The private, nonprofit United Way agency refers parents to “the highest quality programs in their area that meet their needs and
preferences,” Hazeldine said. In 2008, there were more than 18,000 children under 6 living with their parents in Union County, most in households where both parents worked, the American Community Survey reported. “When we look at the statistics, there’s a need” for child care, Hazeldine said. Even so, fewer Union County families are using the agency, she said. “We’re not serving as many as we would like.” With unemployment up, fewer families may need child care, she said, or can’t afford the one they want. Families new to the area might not know about the agency, she said. Last year, CCR in Union, Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties served 8,878 families, including more than 2,100 through its online database.
Hazeldine hopes to bring those numbers up while taking the guess work out of which child care program parents should choose. Any family can use the agency, which can also determine if parents or guardians are eligible for financial aid.

‘Big Bang’ physicist dies at 52 PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Physicist Andrew E. Lange, co-leader of an international team that produced a detailed image of remnants of the Big Bang showing the universe is flat, has died in an apparent suicide, police said Tuesday. He was 52. Lange was a physicist at the California Institute of Technology. University President Jean-Lou Chameau notified the institution in an e-mail that Lange apparently took his own life on Friday. Lange checked into a hotel Thursday and the next morning housekeepers found him dead, apparently due to asphyxiation, said police Detective Lt. John Dewar. “It appears to be a suicide,” Dewar said. Lange recently resigned as chairman of the Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy, Caltech said. Lange was best known as co-leader of project “Boomerang,” which in 1998 used a telescope, carried over Antarctica by a balloon for 10½ days, to study the so-called cosmic microwave background — a gas of thermal radiation left over from the embryonic universe. The experiment showed the spatial geometry of the universe is flat and supported theories that it will expand forever and not collapse upon itself. The observations were considered the first detailed images of the infant universe, according to Caltech. They largely matched predictions and suggested that scientists are on the right track in understanding the earliest moments of the universe, its age and the amount of so-called dark matter that holds galaxies together. “It is an incredible triumph of modern cosmology to have predicted their basic form so accurately,” Lange said when the research was published in 2000. A flat universe also supports the “inflation” theory that the universe underwent a rapid expansion in a fraction of a nanosecond after its birth. Lange and Italian team leader, Paolo De Bernardis of Rome’s La Sapienza university, were awarded one of Italy’s 2006 Balzan prizes, annual awards of 1 million Swiss francs, for contributions to cosmology. (Boomerang was short for Balloon Observations of Millimetric Extragalactic Radiation and Geophysics.) Lange was born July 23, 1957, in Illinois. He graduated from Princeton University in 1980, received a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1987, and was a visiting associate at Caltech in 1993-94. He was appointed a full professor in 1994 and was named the Marvin L. Goldberger Professor of Physics in 2001. In 2006, he became a senior research scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and was appointed chairman of Caltech’s physics, mathematics and astronomy division in 2008. Lange had three young sons, according to the university. A complete list of survivors was not immediately available.

Walkup Avenue area stores plagued by robberies BY ELISABETH ARRIERO
Staff Writer
MONROE A Tuesday night robbery marked the fourth time in as many years that a Walkup Avenue convenience store has been robbed. A man with his face covered walked into Sunny Food Mart, at 1800 Walkup Ave., about 8:30 p.m. and put a silver hand gun to Sophea Pich’s head. Pich was working as a clerk at the time, police said. The man took money from both cash registers
Child Continued from Page 1A through finding potential child care programs that best fit their needs. Some areas to consider are the child’s age, family income and special needs. They can also give a program’s star rating, a statewide quality measure. Ratings are based on a program’s environment, educational training and history of compliance with state regulations. Programs meeting minimum standards receive one star; those exceeding basic requirements may receive five stars. Some programs aren’t required to be licensed, including some churchoperated programs or those that operate seasonally or less than four hours a day. All CCR counselors have a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education or related field with a minimum of three years of experience working with children in a child care setting.
In demand
High quality programs
Cars Continued from Page 1A company have two parts, and the connector can sometimes become worn overtime, causing the pedal to give more easily or depress more slowly, internet sales manager Mario Santoro said. A Japanese company’s counterpart is made with one piece and does not have the same issues. The Canadian company makes car pedals for 42 car companies, with Toyota being one of the largest. The cars will remain on display and sales agents will get contact information from customers interested in buying the recalled models, Santoro said. “Customers have a lot of confidence in Toyota to fix this problem,” he said. “We’re directing people to come back at a later time.” The dealership examined records from the past five years and hasn’t heard one complaint from
totaling $200 as well as the business’s wireless phone, reports state. Sophin Pich, Sophea Pich’s brother, said he’s owned the store since May. After hearing about the store’s history with armed robberies, he decided to invest in a bullet proof window. But those cost $1,600 a piece and he would need three, he said. “It’s just so expensive. I was in the process of saving up when this happened,” he said. On Nov. 7, 2006, someone are in demand and sometimes have waiting lists, Hazeldine said; that’s why it’s never too early to start looking at options. Infant care can be especially scarce, she said. Kappas, whose son is in kindergarten, contacted CCR shortly after she found out she was pregnant. To plan ahead, she wanted to know where programs were, their hours of operation and their ratings. The average phone call to a counselor may take 20 minutes, Hazeldine said, but resources go far beyond that. “I got the information verbally over the phone, but I got it in my hand, too,” Kappas said. Her counselor mailed hard copies of the suggested material within a few days of their conversation. Because state consultants provide written public record of their visits to child care programs, Kappas reviewed those, too. Child care isn’t just baby-sitting, Kappas said; it’s “actual care” and enrichment with many options to consider. Once counselors steer parents in the right direction, they equip them to customers about the accelerator getting stuck, Santoro said. No one had brought in their car following Tuesday’s sales suspension as of 4 p.m. Wednesday. “I was actually blown away. I figured there’d be a lot of people standing outside this morning with questions about their cars,” he said. Scott Clarks is the second largest Toyota dealership in a five-state region, selling 6,800 cars each year, Santoro said. The Camry, the number one selling car in America, is a part of the recall and Santoro acknowledged it will hurt business. Of the dealership’s 650 vehicles, 175 cannot be sold. “What they’re doing is very proactive,” he said. “They want to fix the ones on the road first and then fix the ones on the production line.” Monroe resident Kathern Aldridge appreciates the company’s voluntary recall. “It’s considerate to their customers.

attempted to take money from Bernardo Gonzalez, of 300 Jones St., at knife point. On Nov. 13, 2007, someone took $450 after robbing the store at gunpoint. Most recently, on Feb. 7, 2009, a man entered the store and robbed the two clerks at gunpoint. Linda Cooper of Monroe, who sometimes works at the store, said she’s surprised the store hasn’t been robbed more than it has. “It’s a high crime area. It’s dog eat dog over there,” she said.
Police Chief Debra Duncan doesn’t think the crimes are connected. Many factors can affect how often a place is robbed, including proximity to a major road and late hours, she said. But store owners can take steps such as adding cameras and increasing lighting to prevent crime. “A lot of times that works but it doesn’t mean it’s always going to,” she said. Cooper said a certain demeanor can help discourage crime as well.

“You almost have to be mean to survive. You have to be assertive and show no fear,” she said. Sophin Pich is not so much scared after the robbery, but he is anxious to catch the robber, he said. It’s unfortunate, he said, but robberies sometimes come with the territory of owning a store. “I’m always expecting something to happen. My expectation is: it’s going to happen one of these days. All of a sudden, that day came,” he said.
“This is also not a trial of Logan Edwards, even though it may have felt like it sometimes,” he told jurors. “It’s offensive the way this defense has treated her in this trial.” Culler requested that the judge offer a “voluntary manslaughter” verdict to the jury, but Judge Jack Hooks denied that motion. The jury may choose only from the charges of “guilty of first-degree murder,” “guilty of second-degree murder,” or “not guilty.” As Hooks announced the only charges, members of Logan Edwads’ family, who have been present every day of the trial, breathed deeply and squeezed each other’s hands, smiling. The jury will return 9:30 a.m. today to continue deliberations.

Kuehler said her best solution would fix the county’s system enough to ward off any fines at the cheapest price to the taxpayer. Then plan an entire overhaul of the system in conjunction with Marshville, Wingate and, if necessary, Pilgrim’s Pride to fix everything with the input of all players, not piecemeal a project that would fix only part of the problem. Commissioners will meet with Goscicki Thursday to see if such a solution is possible. In previous meetings, Goscicki and county manager Al Greene said their proposed project is the best solution; Kuehler said more definitive answers would be forthcoming after the meeting.

A CAROLINA VIEW
Poole’s indictments Anyone who followed Mike Easley as attorney general and governor no doubt noticed his well-dressed young aide. Ruffin Poole, now 37, joined the attorney general’s staff fresh out of law school and rose quickly to become known as “the little governor.” Now he has fallen just as fast. A federal grand jury has indicted Poole on 51 counts, alleging he used his influence to reward himself financially. Under our system, Poole is innocent until proven guilty. The same is true for Easley. He has not been indicted, and the indictments do not mention him by name. Nonetheless, the indictments provide a disturbing look at how North Carolina state government has been run. The Easley administration built a web of connections with former campaign supporters and donors. Those who helped Easley get elected were often rewarded with key positions on state boards and commissions or they were graced with the governor’s company on social occasions. It appears from the allegations in the indictments and from 2009 testimony before the State Board of Elections that the governor’s friends got special treatment. Easley was an unusual politician, one who did not cherish the spotlight. He was a recluse. Once elected, he often disappeared, handing responsibilities to Poole. Supporters were told that if they needed things done, they should contact “the little governor.” The indictments all say that Poole used this delegated power for personal gain. The behavior described in the allegations is not that different from activities that, until recent years, were open and legal here. Lobbyists and their employers regularly treated legislators and key administration aides to weekends at golf, tennis and beach resorts. The meals and alcohol flowed freely in Raleigh, all on special-interest credit cards. During debates over proposed reforms to these practices, both politicians and the lobbyists argued that all of this spending was simply about social relationships. They said influence was not being peddled, just friendship. To which skeptics responded: It’s odd that these special interests were only interested in having politicians who could deliver for them as their “friends.” North Carolinians should remember these indictments when they question candidates for office this year. A number of reform proposals remain on the table as changes that would further restrict how influence can be bought and sold in Raleigh and how the public can gain access to what are now behindthe-scenes dealings. Poole will have his day in court, but these indictments and other evidence from the Easley scandals all suggest that the system has already been found guilty. Winston-Salem Journal
YOUR VIEW When will justice ever be served? The humiliation of County Commissioners will continue until Pinky Marsh get his day in court. Has anyone read the injunction the county has asked for against Pinky and his Mother? If you haven’t and you are a taxpayer in Union County, I would advise you to get a copy and read it. The county legal staff is making a complete mockery of our judicial system. They are attempting to use our Health Department and Sheriff ’s Office for health and safety issues. In three seasons, there has been no health or safety violations. If so, Pinky should have been written a citation. Facts: 1. In May 2007, Pinky was given a permit to have four rodeos. He only had four rodeos in 2007. Mr. Jenson rather than write Pinky a citation in 2007, decided to ask the Board of Adjustment to revoke a permit that has already expired. 2. In 2008, Pinky did not ask for a permit and the county would have probably left him alone if it had not have been for his racial neighbors and that racial petition (now never existed). But I and 11 other people heard Mr. Jenson tell of this petition in the meeting June 2008. At this meeting, Pinky was promised that the county would write a text amendment and let him operate. This was another lie Pinky was told. 3. After many attempts to get the commissioners to address the lies Pinky had been told and promised, he requested in writing to Mr. Al Greene to be placed on the open agenda of the September 15, 2008, county
commissioners meeting. In order to keep him off the agenda, Mr. Jenson should have written a citation (if he had the authority). Pinky had not requested a permit for 2008. Taxpayers , there are numerous steps to follow when requesting a special use permit and they cost money (as any other permit in this county). I heard Pinky tell the county staff in the June 2008 meeting, he would not go before that bunch of racial yahoos again. But he did in November 2008, just to close up another legal loophole. 4. In 2009, Pinky began to operate without a permit and again no citation has been issued. On September 30, 2009, Union County filed for a verified complaint and motion for preliminary and permanent injunction against Thomas J. P. Marshand Ruby Marsh. Using Mr. Jenson’s own sworn statement for the best of his own knowledge, information and belief, I’m really looking forward to him setting on the witness stand. And for the county to ask for Prayer for Relief, which includes tax, the cost of this action against Mr. Marsh and award Union County its attorney’s fees allowed by law; and grant such other relief as the court finds just and proper. No wonder Pinky Marsh is being so arrogant to the county official and our legal system. All he ever asked for was for the county to recognize the state statute or write him a citation. Either way, we as taxpayers wouldn’t be in this mess with our legal system.
Can Aubrey really believe what he says? I’m writing in response to David Helms’ letter “Why can’t Aubrey Moore see the truth?” Thank you, David. I have wanted to ask Aubrey Moore the same thing. I always read his letters and ask myself “Does this man agree with EVERYTHING Obama says and does?” I hope not but I would love to hear him respond to your letter. Sometimes, I wonder if he really means everything he writes. If he does, he’s what I would call an ultra-liberal Democrat. Hope to hear from you soon, Mr. Moore. LINDA MANUS Matthews

Don’t assume the homeless are criminals, they aren’t By TAMMY B. SIMS
Guest columnist On Sunday, January 17, my brother-in-law, James (Jay) Sims’ body was found in a wooded area in Charlotte. I am sure many people did not notice the news, nor do they care, because Jay was considered “homeless.” Jay had been missing for seven days. There are many questions about his death. However, I am writing this letter to try and dispel some of the prejudice against the homeless. Jay has two sons, a mother and step father, brothers, cousins, aunts, uncles, and many people who love him very much. He was intelligent and caring and had a great sense of humor. Many people looked down upon Jay, as they do the homeless. Yet, regardless of the reasons they are at that place in their life, they are people and are loved by someone. In Jay’s case, he was loved by many. We often hear of racial prejudice, but what about “class” preju-
dice? The homeless are often thought of as second-class citizens. However, I beg to differ. Have we ever thought of what the homeless face on a daily basis? For most of us, we know where our next meal will come from and usually know what it will be. We know that when it gets cold, we can stay warm inside our comfortable homes. We can easily plug in our electric blankets and stay warm. We know that if our shoes and socks get wet, we can take them off and replace them with a dry pair. We know that we will stay warm and dry inside our comfortable homes. When we leave our home to go to work or run errands, we don’t worry that all of our worldly possessions will be ravaged through and will likely be gone when we return. We know that our home itself will be there and not be stolen or damaged while we are away. When we feel sick, we go to the doctor. When we need food, we go to the grocery store. These things are not true for
the homeless. Yet the homeless are not all uneducated people. They are not all criminals. Jay was an intelligent man. He was an avid reader. I can recall sitting and discussing with him the latest books we had read. We were very proud to have Jay attend our daughters wedding. Jay came to family functions and kept in touch with his family and close friends. He loved sports and often played ball with his brothers. On birthdays, you could count on Jay calling...he always did. He was a good man and I am very proud to call him family. There are many causes of homelessness, ranging from substance abuse to interpersonal relationship problems. With the decline in the economy and the rise in the jobless rate, homelessness is on the rise and can happen to any of us. People who are homeless often endure a myriad of health issues. They are predisposed to skin problems because of malnourishment, ill-fitting shoes, poor circulation, cuts and
According to a 1999 UCLA study, the death rate for homeless people is about four times greater than the death rate for the average person.
scrapes, and dirty clothing. Many are sleep deprived. Imagine trying to sleep in a tent when it is 14 degrees outside or in a noisy shelter. Many also suffer from more serious illnesses like coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Most homeless people do not see a doctor regularly. They do not have health insurance or life insurance, as in Jay’s case. Often times they live and die
alone. According to a 1999 UCLA study, the death rate for homeless people is about four times greater than the death rate for the average person. Four times as great! On average, homeless adults die 20 years earlier than non-homeless adults! We would have loved to have Jay for 20 more years!! I charge everyone reading this to take a step back and put yourself in the shoes of the homeless. Just stop for a moment and imagine how difficult it would be. The next time you see someone homeless, don’t assume that they are worthless bums or criminals. We don’t know the circumstances of their homelessness. Honestly, we don’t NEED to know the circumstances. ALL we need to know is that they are in need of help. Please don’t turn up your nose...don’t turn the other way....open your heart and help. I know that Jay’s family will...will you? Tammy B. Sims lives in Peachland.

Obama appeals for revived health care support President calls on parties to put politics aside
are turning on him as he governs.
on Americans’ minds and become the transformative leader they thought they voted for, Obama called on Democrats and Republicans to “overcome the numbing weight of our politics” and agree on solutions to the nation’s problems. “We face a deficit of trust — deep and corrosive doubts about how Washington works that have been growing for years,” he said. Obama was looking to change the conversation from how his presidency is stalling — over the messy health care debate, a limping economy and the missteps that led to Christmas Day’s barely averted terrorist disaster — to how he is seizing the reins. The president was devoting about two-thirds of the speech to the economy, emphasizing his ideas, some new but mostly old and explained anew, for restoring job growth, taming budget deficits and changing Washington’s ways. These concerns are at the roots of voter emotions that drove supporters to Obama but now
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hoping to rescue his prized health care overhaul and revive his presidency as well, Barack Obama appealed in his State of the Union address for support for the plan that is in severe danger in Congress, urging dispirited Democrats not to abandon the effort. “By the time I’m finished speaking tonight, more Americans will have lost their health insurance,” Obama said, according to excerpts of the Wednesday night address released in advance by the White House. “Patients will be denied the care they need. Small business owners will continue to drop coverage altogether. I will not walk away from these Americans. And neither should the people in this chamber.” Promising to tackle the economic worries foremost
Republicans say nation can’t afford Democrat policies WASHINGTON (AP) — Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell says in the Republican response to the State of the Union address that the nation cannot afford the spending Democrats have enacted or the tax increases they propose. McDonnell, in excerpts of his speech released in advance, said Democratic policies are resulting in an unsustainable level of debt. He said Americans want affordable health care, but they don’t want the government to run it. Republicans are feeling emboldened following a string of GOP victories at the polls, including a stunning win by Republican Scott Brown last week in a special Senate election in Massachusetts. Since then, Obama has amped up his populist rhetoric.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — French rescuers pulled a teenage girl from the rubble of the destroyed College St. Gerard campus Wednesday, a stunning recovery 15 days after an earthquake devastated the city. Darlene Etienne, her body covered in gray dust, was rushed to a French military field hospital, groaning through an oxygen mask with her eyes open in a lost stare. “She’s alive!” said paramedic Paul Francois-Valette, who accompanied her into the hospital. Her family said Etienne, 17, had just started studying when the disaster struck, trapping dozens of people in the rubble of school buildings, hostels and homes. “We thought she was dead,” her cousin, Jocelyn A. St. Jules, said in a telephone call from Marche Dessalines, a town north of the capital. The last confirmed rescue of someone trapped by the initial quake occurred Saturday, 11 days later, when a man was extricated from the ruins of a hotel grocery store. A man pulled Tuesday from the rubble of a downtown store later and treated by the U.S. military for severe dehydration and a broken leg said he had been trapped during an aftershock. At least 135 people have been unearthed by rescue teams since the Jan. 12 quake, and many more by relatives and neighbors. But most of these rescues were in the immediate aftermath and authorities say it is rare for anyone to survive more than 72 hours without water.

Democrats vow to resurrect health care bill WASHINGTON (AP) — Giving up on overhauling the nation’s health care system is not an option, the top House Democrat said Wednesday as lawmakers looked to President Barack Obama for guidance in his State of the Union address on how to revive the stalled legislation. Asked if Congress might abandon a health care initiative beset with political and policy problems, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, DCalif., responded: “I don’t see that as a possibility. We will have something.” White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer told congressional staff that Obama will use Wednesday night’s address to reiterate his commitment to an ambitious remake of the nation’s health care system, similar to the call he issued last September after critics seized the momentum during a summer of angry town hall meetings. Although lawmakers don’t expect to hear a specific prescription for how to move forward, Pfeiffer said the president would offer “additional details” on his health care goals. The speech comes as Democrats are struggling to find a way to advance health care legislation after the loss of a Massachusetts Senate seat last week cost them the 60-vote majority needed to deliver. “The president is a strong persuader, as they say, and I think it makes an awful lot of difference, and I think he will bring everybody together,” said Rep. John Larson, DConn. Others were looking for a dose of reality from the president. “I think he has to acknowledge that the well has been poisoned, that the debate has been lost, and tell the American people again why this is part of the economic strategy moving forward,” said Rep. Jason Altmire, D-Pa. “Not an issue of fairness because we need to cover everybody, but it’s the only way we’re going to get our deficit in order in the long run is by addressing health care.” Democrats got encouragement Wednesday from groups as diverse as the nation’s Catholic bishops and the head of the largest labor union federation. In a letter to members of Congress, the bishops urged lawmakers to “recommit themselves to enacting genuine health care reform.” “The health care debate, with all its political and ideological conflict, seems to have lost its central moral focus and policy priority, which is to ensure that affordable, quality, life-giving care is available to all,” said clergy from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. “Now is not the time to abandon this task.” Similarly, AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka said the Senate should come up with a measure that the House can pass. “We fought too long and too hard for health care to quit for now,” Trumka said in an interview. Both the Catholic Church and labor unions have flexed their political muscle in the debate. The bishops say they won’t support a final bill that includes Senate-passed language they see as too weak in restricting taxpayer funding for abortion. Labor unions struck a deal with the White House to weaken a proposed tax on high-cost insurance plans. Pelosi didn’t say whether the final bill will be the sweeping overhaul sought by Obama, or smallerscale legislation that accomplishes only some of his goals. Democrats were on the verge of passing far-reaching legislation before the Massachusetts election. Stunned by the loss, Democratic leaders have taken health care legislation off the fast track as they try to find a path forward acceptable to rankand-file Democrats wary of unhappy midterm election voters.

WHO’S NEWS Perry hopes Woods returns to golf soon
DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Kenny Perry will give Tiger Woods a warm welcome when he returns from his self-imposed absence from golf. “I am going to give him a hug and shake his hand,” Perry said Wednesday as he prepared for the start of the Qatar Masters, the American’s first WOODS appearance in a European Tour event. Woods has been away from the game since his Nov. 27 car crash in Florida and subsequent revelations of marital infidelity. He has still not said when he will return to the PGA Tour. “I am going to tell him that if he needs to talk to me in any way I will,” Perry said. “That’s the way I think we all should be. I am sure he’s had a lot of phone calls and a lot of people trying to get near him, but when he decides to come back I am going to approach him.” Perry, who has risen to 13th in the world after winning the FBR Open and The Travelers Championship last year, believes Woods will be welcomed back into the golfing fraternity when he feels the time is right. “The game of golf will go on with Tiger or without him because there is no man bigger than the game,” Perry said. “But I think Tiger needs to come back. I think you know we are his family, too. So if he comes back I think he will get a lot of support from the players.”
NEW YORK (AP) — Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton were suspended without pay for the remainder of the season Wednesday by NBA commissioner David Stern, who said guns in the workplace “will not be tolerated.” Stern delivered the punishment after meeting ARENAS with Arenas earlier in the day, turning his indefinite suspension into a suspension without pay. Both players have admitted bringing guns into the Washington Wizards’ locker room, a violation of the collective bargaining agreement, following a dispute on a team flight. Stern said the players expressed remorse, but added, “nevertheless, there is no justification for their conduct.” “The issue here is not about the legal ownership and possession of guns, either in one’s home or elsewhere,” Stern said in a statement. “It is about possession of guns in the NBA workplace, which will not be tolerated.” Arenas, who is forfeiting about $147,200 per game, had already been suspended indefinitely earlier this month. Crittenton, who met with Stern on Tuesday, will lose about $13,435 per game.

MONROE With just over two weeks remaining in the high school basketball regular season, several teams from Union County are battling for playoff positions. With a 10-0 league record, Monroe High’s boys have already locked up the No. 1 seed among 1A teams in the Rocky River Conference, which receives two bids for the 1A playoffs. Central Academy’s boys currently sit in the second spot with a 3-6 conference mark, just ahead of Union Academy, which is 0-10 in the league. The race to make the playoffs among 2A boys teams in the RRC is much tighter. The conference receives four bids to the 2A state playoffs, and five teams are in contention. Berry Academy is the top 2A seed at 8-2, followed by Forest Hills, which is just behind with an 8-3 league record. Piedmont (6-5) is third, but Cuthbertson (5-5) and West Stanly (5-6) are close behind. The Cavaliers, who have won five straight, currently hold on to the last playoff spot after knocking off West Stanly on the road Tuesday. On the girls side, Monroe leads Union Academy by two game for the top 1A seed. Central Academy’s girls are just a half-game behind the Cardinals for the second and final playoff spot. In 2A, North Stanly and Berry Academy are tied for first place with an 8-2 record. The Cardinals beat Piedmont at home on Tuesday to stay in the hunt for the conference title.

Charlotte rallies, knocks off Temple CHARLOTTE (AP) — Derrio Green scored 26 points and Charlotte rallied for a 74-64 victory over No. 15 Temple on Wednesday night to end the Owls’ six-game winning streak and create a logjam atop the Atlantic 10. Chris Braswell added 14 of his 15 points in the second half and Shamari Spears had 11 points and nine rebounds for the 49ers (15-5, 5-1), who continued their turnaround season by one-upping one of the nation’s top defensive teams. Frustrated by Charlotte’s trapping zone, Temple (17-4, 5-1) coughed up a 10-point firsthalf lead and shot 35 percent in losing for only the second time in 15 games. Ryan Brooks hit five 3-pointers and scored 20 points and Luis Guzman added a careerhigh 14 points for Temple,
which fell into a three-way tie atop the league with Charlotte and idle Xavier. Charlotte fans, starved for success after the program’s recent woes, swarmed the court after the signature win, cheering as coach Bobby Lutz addressed the crowd over the loudspeaker. Just 11-20 a year ago and without an NCAA tournament appearance since 2005, the 49ers have returned to prominence behind a trio of newcomers that includes the speedy Green. He hit four 3-pointers, the last with 33 seconds left that ended Temple’s comeback hopes. Green’s driving layup with 7:02 remaining gave the 49ers their first lead. It came with Owls point guard Juan Fer-
nandez sitting on the end of the bench with a towel draped over his head, after being a game-time decision with concussionlike symptoms. When the 49ers took a 54-51 lead on Braswell’s bucket with 5:29 left, coach Fran Dunphy called a timeout and Fernandez checked in. It didn’t help. The 49ers played stifling interior defense while getting looks in transition. DiJuan Harris’ acrobatic, behind-thehead pass in traffic to Braswell for a layup put Charlotte ahead 58-51 with 3:32 left. Fernandez’s first field goal, a 3-pointer with 2:36 left, cut the 49ers’ lead to 60-56. But Green’s 3 set off a confetti-filled celebration at
Halton Arena. After falling behind 7-0, Charlotte used a trapping zone to get back into the game before Brooks got hot. He hit four of his first six 3-point attempts, while Scootie Randall made two straight to put the Owls ahead 28-18. Charlotte stayed in the zone and responded with a 10-1 run capped by Green’s fadeaway, before Guzman’s 3 put the Owls up 32-28 at halftime. It was a far cry from last season’s meeting, when Temple cruised to an 80-53 win in Philadelphia in a low point in Charlotte’s miserable, injuryfilled season. With the junior college transfer Green, the freshman Braswell and Spears, the Boston College transfer, Charlotte is suddenly in the mix for an Atlantic 10 crown.

What’s
Reynolds, Fisher help Wildcats get past N.D. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Scottie Reynolds and Corey Fisher each scored 17 points to help No. 3 Villanova get off to the best start in school history with a 90-72 win over Notre Dame on Wednesday night. A season after advancing to the Final Four, the Wildcats are 19-1 for the first time and are the only Big East team unbeaten in conference play (8-0). Villanova has won 10 straight overall and is in the mix for the top spot next week in The Associated Press poll. Reynolds and Notre Dame’s Luke Harangody were expected to state their cases for Big East player of the year.
Harangody delivered on his end for the Irish (15-6, 4-4) with 21 points and nine rebounds in 37 minutes. #21 Vanderbilt 85, #14 Tennessee 76 KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Jermaine Beal scored 25 points and Vanderbilt beat state rival Tennessee for its 10th straight victory. It was the first win for the Commodores (16-3, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) in Knoxville in five tries, and Tennessee’s first loss at home this season. Vandy is off to its best start in the SEC since 1966 and has grabbed control of the league’s Eastern Division.
The teams traded the lead until a 3-pointer by Brad Tinsley with 8:42 left put Vanderbilt up 59-56, a lead it did not relinquish. Beal hit a layup and two 3s in less than a minute to make it 74-60 with 4:58 remaining. Providence 81, #19 Connecticut 66 PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Jamine Peterson had 23 points to go with 14 rebounds, scoring eight of Providence’s 14 straight points as the Friars took the lead and ran away from Connecticut. Sharaud Curry scored 18, and Bilal Dixon had 11 points and 12 rebounds for Providence (12-8, 4-4 Big East).

Nuggets win eighth straight
Upset Continued from Page 1B For Lenoir-Rhyne, senior guard Jami Safrit led the Bears with 16 points. She hit four three-point field goals Wednesday. Senior forward/ guard Amber Holt contributed 13 points, five rebounds, four assists and three blocked shots. LRU sophomore Cameron Sealey added 12 points. The Bears came out hot, grabbing a 17-4 lead eight minutes into the first half. Sealey had six points in the opening spurt. The Bulldogs would out-score LenoirRhyne 24-9 over the final 11 minutes of the half to take their first lead of the game. Washington had 10 points in the stretch, including a jumper 13 seconds before intermission to put Wingate on top. Lenoir-Rhyne came out hot again in the second half, taking a 36-28 lead less than three minutes into the second half. Wingate responded by scoring the next seven points, cutting the lead to one on a layup from Brooks at the 15:30 mark. The Bulldogs took their first lead of the half at the 12:05 mark on a pair of free throws from Erica Crumlin. The Bears had the answer, going on a 16-6 run over the next five minutes to take a nine-point lead. Safrit hit a pair of threes in the spurt, scoring eight of the 16 points during the run.

Wingate senior center Stacie Rhodes scored 18 points in Wednesday’s home win over Lenoir-Rhyne.
HOUSTON (AP) — J.R. Smith scored 22 points, Kenyon Martin added 12 points and 15 rebounds and the Denver Nuggets extended their winning streak to eight games with a 97-92 win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night. The Nuggets won for the second straight time without Carmelo Anthony, the NBA’s second-leading scorer, who sat out with a sprained left ankle. Chauncey Billups scored 21 points, Nene added 18 and Denver went 29 for 39 from the free throw line to win in Houston for just the fourth time in its last 16 trips. Aaron Brooks scored 22 points and Luis Scola added 20 for the Rockets, who’ve lost four of their last five home games. Houston was up by two after three quarters, and led 80-79 after Brooks’ free throw with 8:40 left. The Nuggets answered with a decisive 10-0 run, capped by back-toback 3-pointers by Smith. Houston missed 10 of its first 12 shots in the last quarter, after shooting 48 percent through the first three. Scola scored with 4:53 left to pull the Rockets within seven, but Martin swooped in for a rebound dunk with 3:48 remaining to stretch the lead back to nine.
Blue Devils top FSU, keep pace in ACC DURHAM (AP) — Jon Scheyer scored 22 points, Kyle Singler added 20 and No. 8 Duke held off Florida State 70-56 on Wednesday night The Blue Devils (17-3, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) shot 43 percent against the nation’s toughest field-goal percentage defense and forced 22 turnovers but needed a late 15-4 run to seal their 14th straight win at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Solomon Alabi had 14 points and 10 rebounds and Chris Singleton added 14 points for the Seminoles (15-5, 3-3). They outrebounded the Blue Devils 40-30 and held them without a field
goal for more than six minutes to erase most of a 16-point deficit, but were denied their second straight victory against a Top 25 opponent. Singleton made things interesting late, hitting a free throw to make it 51-47 with 8:56 left, before the Blue Devils pulled away down the stretch with seven straight points. Scheyer hit a 19-footer, Brian Zoubek added a stickback and Singler knocked down a 3-pointer with 5:45 remaining to get the decisive
run rolling and restore Duke’s double-figure lead. It wasn’t until then that the Blue Devils were assured of extending a few streaks at Cameron.Theyclaimed their 39th straight victory there against unranked opponents — a string that dates to the Seminoles’ win in February 2007 — and improved to 12-0 this season at home, winning 10 of those by at least 20 points. At least Florida State can take solace in this: The only team to keep things this tight against

Rachel Walker and the Marvin Ridge High girls are currently second place in the SCC.
Race Continued from Page 1B The Panthers (8-3) are in third place, just a halfgame behind the Comets and Cardinals. The final playoff spot among 2A girls teams currently belongs to West Stanly, which has a 7-4 league record. Forest Hills (5-6) still has a shot at making the postseason, but would need to make up two games on the Colts with five league contests remaining. In the Southern Carolina Conference, Marvin Ridge’s boys are atop the standings with a 4-1 re-
cord after getting past Weddington at home on Tuesday. The SCC receives three bids for the 3A playoffs and two for the 4A bracket, meaning only one team in the league won’t advance to the postseason. Sun Valley and Porter Ridge, the only 4A teams in the conference, are guaranteed to make the playoffs regardless of where they finish in the standings. The Spartans are currently 3-2, while the Pirates have an 0-5 record. Weddington’s boys (3-2) are tied for second with Anson (3-2) for the second 3A spot, but the Warriors currently have the tie-
breaker after beating the Bearcats on the road earlier this month. Parkwood is in fourth place among 3A teams, but are just a game behind the Warriors and Bearcats. On the girls side, Porter Ridge is out front with 5-0 record. Sun Valley’s girls are in fourth place in the standings, but will receive an automatic bid to the 4A playoffs. Marvin Ridge is the top 3A team with a 4-1 record, followed by Parkwood (3-2), Weddington (1-4) and Anson (0-5). The Warriors, who are currently in the third and final 3A playoff spot, have already beaten the Bearcats this season.
Duke here was St. John’s, an 80-71 loser in December. For a while, though, this one was shaping up as yet another blowout for the Blue Devils, who seemingly took control early in the second half. A 12-2 spurt gave them a 51-35 lead on Singler’s free throw with 13:55 left. But a scoreless drought of nearly six minutes allowed Florida State to creep back into the game. The Seminoles reeled off 12 straight points — nine by freshman reserve Michael Snaer — to make it a four-point game late. Worse for the Blue Devils, Florida State was simply out-
hustling them, with the Seminoles missing three straight foul shots in 20 seconds — and beating Duke to all those rebounds but having trouble converting them into points. Nolan Smith finished with 11 points on 4-of-15 shooting for Duke, which led for all of about three minutes of this one despite scoring runs proving hard to come by against a defense that allows teams to shoot just 35.5 percent. Florida State had more turnovers (14) than field goals (13) at halftime, while Scheyer had 13 points in the opening 20 minutes.

Woman doubts her ability to help long-time friend DEAR ABBY: I am in my early 40s, and married with two daughters. I have a friend, “Sally,” whom I have known since the third grade. We are like sisters. Sally has been profoundly depressed for at least 15 years. She sees a therapist and a psychiatrist on a regular basis and is on medication. My question, Abby, is what do you say to someone who calls at least once a week, for at least an hour, crying so hard I can barely understand her? She calls to tell me how sad she is and how she doesn’t think anything in her life will improve. While I’m concerned for her and care about what happens to her, I don’t feel I can give her any advice or guidance that her counselor/ psychiatrist isn’t able to give. Short of listening and providing the proverbial shoulder to lean on, what more can
Dear Abby Columnist
I do? I feel I need to be there for her, but I also feel drained dry because this has been going on for several years. Any guidance you might offer would be greatly appreciated. -- CONCERNED FRIEND IN FLORIDA DEAR CONCERNED: You are a supportive friend, but when Sally calls crying so hard she can hardly talk, tell her that the person she needs to be talking to is her therapist. By allowing her to vent to you, you are preventing the therapist from evaluat-
ing her while she’s in crisis and giving her the tools she needs to improve. Your friend may need to have her meds adjusted or changed, and seeing Sally while she is “at the bottom” could give her therapist valuable insights. If Sally isn’t capable of placing the call to her therapist, offer to do it for her. *** DEAR ABBY: I am a 14-yearold girl in eighth grade. I have plenty of friends, play the clarinet and piano, and am involved in school yearbook and theater, among other things. My problem is, I get sick a lot. No one can figure out why I can’t go two weeks without picking up a virus. Because of this I am gone from school quite often. I can handle the occasional teasing I get from other kids, and my teachers are helpful. It’s the two school secretaries I have a problem

Dennis the Menace because of a past experience. Chances are your memory will be right on the mark.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Even though you rarely bargain when purchasing a costly item, you might just give it a try on a whim. To your surprise, you’re likely to get the price down. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Good things in general are likely to happen spontaneously with regard to your wants and desires. However, don’t take Lady Luck for granted. It’s a momentary thing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- When you find yourself involved in a challenging situation, all indifference on your part will suddenly vanish. Your enthusiasm will be easily aroused, and you’ll play to win.

You’ll make sure that everything turns out to your satisfaction. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Someone you don’t know well may step forward and offer to do a favor. This sudden act of kindness will warm your heart and let you know that all’s well with the world. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -You’re never reluctant to stand up for your rights, and woe to the person who thinks he or she can run all over you. Chances are this person will never try to
deceive you again. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Recognize that an adjustment is required regarding a joint arrangement with friends, and handling it properly may be a task dropped into your lap. You’ll do just fine. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Even though you might prefer to keep out of a situation that arises between two friends, if you believe you can mediate to each person’s satisfaction, step in and offer advice. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There is no one better than you to arouse a few lethargic companions to take action with regard to an arrangement in which everyone is waiting for them to launch. Do your thing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -You’re not likely to wait for fate or Lady Luck to make things happen. You will take the bull by the horns and ride it out until all resistance stops and you get your way.

with. Once, when I left school during the day because I wasn’t feeling well, one of them said to me: “You need to try to be at school more. I know it’s hard, but you’ve got to try.” Other things they have said lead me to believe they think I’m faking. Now they want a note from every doctor I see. I was gone a lot last year, but they didn’t enforce this. What is appropriate in responding to their “comments”? I’d like to ask, “Is that your opinion as a secretary?” or say, “I’m doing the best I can with my situation and you’re not helping.” Or, I could bore them with a detailed description of my medical history, or maybe complain to the principal. What do you suggest? -- SICK OF IT IN IOWA DEAR SICK OF IT: Your medical history is not the school secretaries’ business,

and you do not owe them any detailed descriptions of it. However, it’s possible that the woman who advised you that you “needed to be at school more” was speaking out of concern, so try not to be defensive. If a note from your doctor is required, you should produce one after every absence. And I recommend that you have your mother contact the principal if there are any questions about your medical status. *** Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
