were excited. “It’s just one more step to where we start putting the shovel in the ground,” Dodson said. “The citizens of Granville County are going to have a nice library,” Newton said. Voters in a November countywide referendum overwhelmingly supported an $8 million bond issue to upgrade the increasingly antiquated Thornton location at 210 Main St. in central Oxford, replace the town of Stovall’s branch with a larger one, replace the branch inside Vance-Granville Community College’s South Campus building with a larger, standalone structure and modernize the hand-me-down-looking interior of the branch at the Berea community. Terms of the referendum specified an increase of 2.5 cents per

$100 of assessed valuation. The commission in mid-June gave the go-ahead to having Storr Office Environments of Raleigh move the contents of Thornton Library into temporary quarters at 208 E. Industry Drive, which is the former 84 Lumber, so the expansion and renovation of the library building could begin. The cost will be $56,073. Dodson said the move started earlier in the day Monday, with the process expected to take approximately two weeks. “I think we’re supposed to turn the building over to them on Sept. 1,” Dodson said when asked when Resolute will start work on Thornton Library. Bill Burgin, the architect for improving the library system countywide, told the Dispatch Please see LIBRARY, page 3A

Shooting, attempted burglary

Sheriff’s investigators planned to interview on Monday afternoon a Townsville man who was apparently shot more than once early Friday morning during a burglary attempt at his home in Vance County. “When you’ve bullets and (hospital) drugs in you, you don’t feel like talking,” Sheriff Peter White said Monday morning in reference to the 44-year-old victim, David Hargrove of 2697 Morgan Road. According to an investigation report, Frank Small, 43, of N.C. 39 North was in the Hargrove residence when the attempted burglary occurred about 3 a.m. on Friday, but was not injured. While Hargrove had talked to deputies closer to the time of the shooting, “that’s not the time to get accurate information,” the Sheriff added. “We don’t know by whom or why (Hargrove was shot),” White said, “but we expect to have an answer

“It’s an ideal location in my opinion,” Commissioner James Lumpkins, whose district includes Stovall, said just before leading the unanimous vote of the seven-man panel in favor of the purchase. The closing of the sale by the landowner, Peter Gumaer, is set for no later than Sept. 1. And the new structure will replace a small building just to the west at the northeast corner of the intersection of U.S. 15 and Rockwell.

Bill Burgin, of Salisbury and who is the architect for upgrading libraries countywide, told the Dispatch afterward that the next steps will be to start on the design phase on both the future new Stovall branch and the future new branch off N.C. 56 in the southern part of the county. Plans are already in place for the expansion and renovation of Thornton Library in Oxford. Contact the writer at bwest@hendersondispatch.com.

Drug activity complaints lead to arrests By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer

Two drug arrests were made at 830 Hughes St. on Friday after members of the Henderson Police Department’s Narcotics Unit executed a search warrant. The occupants — Brandon Cheek, 22, and Sophia Louise Cheek, 30 — were both charged with: • Possession of heroin. • Maintaining a dwelling for keeping controlled substance. • Possession of drug paraphernalia.

Community ministers’ group asks for prayers for education — and books The Henderson-Vance Ministers’ Community Partnership has set aside Aug. 23 as a “Day of Prayer for Education” in Vance County. On that day, members of the partnership encourage all churches in Vance County to set aside time to pray for students, teachers and school administrators. The Rev. Dr. Paul Baxley, chairman of the partnership, said the group

also encourages pastors to preach themes related to the importance of education in faith, if they feel led to do so. “We issue this challenge because we believe it is essential that we begin a new school year with focused prayer, and because we know that healing and renewal in our city and county will require a stronger commitment to outstanding

education opportunities for all students in our community,” Baxley said. In addition to praying and preaching, the partnership is also encouraging churches to take action. Through its education committee, established last February, the group is sponsoring a community book drive. The partnership members are challenging each church in the area to collect used

Part of the money could be used to install additional hydrants in fire districts in rural areas. The county manager’s second suggestion was to spend $250,000 in seed money in connection with the proposed construction of a sewer line along U.S.

U.S. official: ‘Clunkers’ improving gas mileage By KEN THOMAS Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration appealed to the Senate on Monday to bail out the cash for clunkers car purchase e program, arguing it has already made striking gains in fuel efficiency and is a “wildly popular” economic boost. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood ducked when asked if the program will be suspended if the Senate does not vote to replenish coffers before lawmakers go LaHood on vacation later this week. Instead, he said “I believe the Senate will pass it this week.” The administration said the average fuel economy of new vehicles purchased through the program is nearly 10 miles per gallon (4 kilometers per liter) higher than for the vehicles traded in for scrap. LaHood said some 80 percent of the traded-in vehicles are pickups or sports utility vehicles, meaning many gas-guzzlers are being taken off the road, and the Ford Focus is a leading replacement vehicle. “The program is working the way Congress intended it to work,” he asserted on MSNBC television. But it was not intended to run out of money nearly so quickly, nor create such confusion at dealerships. The administration pressed hard for an additional $2 billion after serving notice over the weekend that the program

could expire as early as this week unless the Senate acts, as the House did in voting overwhelmingly for the money Friday. Senate Republicans appeared to be in no rush Monday. “We were told this program would last for several months,” Republican leader Mitch McConnell said in remarks prepared for a Senate floor speech. “It ran out of money in a week, prompting the House to rush a $2 billion extension before anybody even had time to figure out what happened to the first billion,” he said. McConnell said “it’s not a bad idea to look for a second opinion. All the more so if they say they’re in a hurry.” The administration collected information on 80,500 vehicle transactions logged into the government’s operating system through Saturday afternoon. An official said the fuel efficiency improvements would save a typical customer $700 to $1,000 a year in fuel costs. The new vehicles were getting 25.4 miles per gallon on average, a 61 percent increase over the models traded in, said the official, speaking on condition on anonymity because the figures had not been released. The data was aimed at appeasing lawmakers such as Sens. Dianne Feinstein, a Demnocrat, and Susan Collins, a Republican, who have questioned whether the program’s environmental benefits go far enough. “We’re encouraging senators to listen to their car dealers and the people they represent,” LaHood said. “If they do that, it will

pass the Senate.” The administration has been coy about just how long dealers would be reimbursed for rebates of up to $4,500 per vehicle, after saying Sunday that the program would have to be suspended if the Senate failed to act. Fierce lobbying for the program came from other quarters: The National Automobile Dealers Association and the American International Automobile Dealers contacted thousands of dealerships, telling them to bombard the Senate with phone calls and e-mails. “This is the one true stimulus that seems to be working out of all the things that have been tried in the last few months,” said Cody Lusk, president of the international group. LaHood had said earlier that if the $2 billion is not approved, “we would have to suspend the program.” At the same time, LaHood told C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” television show Sunday that the administration would “continue the program until we see what the Senate does and I believe the Senate will pass this.” “Any deal that is made (Monday) or the next day and that is in the pipeline ... the dealer will be reimbursed and the car buyer will be reimbursed,” the secretary declared. The program provides consumers with $3,500 or $4,500 in incentives for trading in gas guzzlers for more fuel efficient vehicles. Automakers were reporting July’s auto sales on Monday and analysts expected the car program to provide a boost in overall sales.

Specter greeted with boos, cheers WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Arlen Specter, who faced an antagonistic crowd

at a weekend health care town hall, says the experience could be a sign of the tough road for overhauling the nation’s system. The crowd booed, jeered and sometimes cheered Specter and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at a packed meeting with hundreds of people at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. Specter says he thinks political organizations orchestrated some of the commotion, but that individuals with serious concerns were also there.

Nevada court considers releasing O.J. Simpson LAS VEGAS (AP) — Three Nevada Supreme Court justices are considering whether to let O.J. Simpson and a former golfing buddy out of prison while the full court reviews their convictions for a gunpoint hotel room heist. Justice Michael Cherry didn’t say at the end of a hearing Monday how long it will take for the three-member panel to rule on whether the former football star and convicted

co-defendant Clarence “C.J.” Stewart should be allowed to post bond. Simpson and Stewart weren’t in the courtroom, but their lawyers say they deserve to go free while they work to prove that they were denied a fair trial. Clark County District Attorney David Roger argued that a jury had spoken, and the two men should continue to serve their sentences for kidnapping and armed robbery.

Baltimore medics mistakenly declare man dead BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore police say a burglary suspect mistakenly declared dead by medics after he was shot by an officer lay on a convenience store floor for half an hour before anyone noticed he was still alive. Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says 51-year-old Michael Quarles was shot early Saturday when he lunged at an officer with a long screwdriver. Guglielmi says the officer thought Quarles had a knife. Guglielmi says emergency medical technicians pronounced Quarles dead at the scene, then left. But officers noticed about 30 minutes later that Quarles was moving and called the medics back to the scene. Quarles was taken to a trauma center and remained in critical condition Monday. The medics have been reassigned until an investigation is finished.

A neighbor saw a pair of legs dangling from the window Sunday but thought it was a prank and didn’t immediately call authorities. The neighbor did call Monday and police found the man dead. Sgt.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for selling hallucinogenic mushrooms to a teenager who was killed when she wandered naked into traffic. Steven Roman was sentenced Monday in Los Angeles after pleading guilty in April to felony drug charges. Prosecutors say the 31-year-old Westlake Village man sold psilocybin (sihloh-SY’-bin) mushrooms to teenagers at a Thousands Oaks condominium in 2004. One user, 17-year-old Victoria Nugent, walked naked onto U.S. 101 and was hit by a car. Roman was arrested last fall for allegedly selling the drug Ecstasy, but state charges in that case were dropped. Roman acknowledged his role in the 2004 death and apologized in court for Nugent’s death.

have said the accusations are unfounded. Mohammad was officially identified as the eighth suspect after federal prosecutors requested that the full indictment be made public. His name had been redacted from court papers made public last week, although law enforcement sources had told The Associated Press that he was the suspect. Prosecutors haven’t said whether the terror suspects had any specific timelines or targets, although the indictment said some of them took trips over the past three years to Jordan, Kosovo, Pakistan and Israel “to engage in violent jihad.� The indictment said the elder Boyd received terrorist training in Pakistan and Afghanistan two decades ago and, more recently, recruited followers in North Carolina. It also said he began stockpiling weapons and conducted military-style training at a rural site. Risueno said Mohammad went to Pakistan to visit his father, who lives there. He hasn’t talked with Mohammad and didn’t know how long his nephew planned to stay overseas. Earle Purser, a Raleigh attorney who represented Mohammad after he was charged in 2008 with driv-

Daily Meditation And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Corinthians 9-10

Our Opinion

Fitting honor for McKissick A familiar name from the past graced the front pages of our sister newspaper, The Herald-Sun in Durham, on Monday morning. The late Floyd B. Missick Sr. was honored recently with a resolution adopted by the NAACP at its centennial convention in New York City, the Herald reported. Vivian McCoy, described as a lifelong friend who called McKissick her mentor, came up with the idea to recognize the former civil rights leader in 2008 and worked with Torrey Dixon, a criminal and civil rights lawyer from Durham’s NAACP, to submit a document that met approval for adoption this year. Known worldwide for his efforts to champion racial equality, McKissick became a household name in the local community for his role as the founder of Soul City in Warren County. Floyd Bixler McKissick was born in Asheville in the early 1920s and became the first African American to study at the University of North Carolina Law School, graduating in 1951. An NCAAP member as a student, he served in the U.S. Army during World War II and returned from active duty to participate in the first freedom rides of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) in the late 1940s. Dixon credits McKissick with starting the youth movement for civil rights, “jumping ahead” of an NCAAP that was looking for reform through the judicial system rather than the civil rights demonstrations that he thought were necessary. McKissick became the head of CORE, which was an integrated group, in 1963, and he is credited with favoring a nonviolent movement to open opportunities for black people in civic, political and economic areas. This proponent of the Black Power movement placed an emphasis not only on the education of minorities but on the desire for them to have the opportunity to succeed in the work place. A part of that dream for success became a reality when the federal government funded his Soul City community in Warren County around 1970. Historians recall that McKissick had a vision that the New Communities Act would result in a metropolis of tens of thousands of residents with minority-run industries and businesses. While many whites thought of Soul City as being an all-minority community, McKissick envisioned a town where all races had an opportunity to live together in harmony. Not much remains today of the small community of Soul City, located near Manson off U.S. 1 in western Warren, as a variety of problems kept McKissick’s ultimate dream from coming true. Lawsuits, investigations and bad publicity beset the project and now it’s little more than a small stop along the road. Residents of the Tri-County area can thank the Soul City project for a water system today that serves Warren County, Henderson, Oxford and portions of Franklin County. After the Soul City project, McKissick taught at North Carolina Central University, headed the North Carolina Center for the Study of Black History and sat on the American Civil Liberties Union board of directors. Prior to his death in 1991, he also served for a short time as a District Court judge. He died of lung cancer at age 69. The long-time resident of Soul City was buried near his home there. The resolution aptly calls him “a founder, architect and hero of the national civil rights movements of the 1960s,” a name that ranks there at the top of the list among those who have struggled for racial harmony.

Two years ago, members of the Pearl High School cheerleading squad in Pearl, Miss., allegedly were told by their coach to give her their Facebook passwords. They did. And then most of them, reportedly, erased their accounts. But at least one girl did not. And as a result, Mandi Jackson, a freshman, had her e-mails read by the coach, who, according to a legal filing, discovered profanity in some of the messages. She benched her. Then she suspended her from cheering. It is now two years later, Mandi is a junior, and she and her parents, in filing a $100 million lawsuit against the school, claim that the coach not only violated her constitutional rights, but also trashed her high school experience, causing her to be an outcast, depressed and suffering a drop in grades. Oh, for the days of passing notes in chemistry class.

Knowing how to behave Now, I won’t get into whether a high school experience is ruined if you’re no longer on the cheerleading squad. (What about the girls who don’t make the squad during tryouts?) And I won’t begin to speculate on

how this is worth $100 million. But I do have to say, on the constitutional part, Mandi the cheerleader is probably dead on. Going into someone’s Facebook account and reading messages — even if that person gave you the password — has to be the modern equivalent of tapping a phone or hiding under the bed and eavesdropping. There’s Mitch no way I Albom can see Tribune Media how that’s Services not an invasion of privacy — since it wasn’t on school time, it wasn’t a school activity, and the school isn’t sponsoring or paying for the Facebook space. But to take that information and use it against the kid as punishment — well, we’re into a whole different area. How is that any different than, when we were kids, if the football coach climbed up to our tree house and listened in our macho teenage talk about our teachers, then suspended us from the team? Teens brag. Teens swear.

Teens treat profanity — especially when first discovering it — like new sunglasses, amused and delighted at how cool it feels to try them on. But just because they say dumb things to each other doesn’t mean they do so in school. How many of us were terribly disrespectful to our teachers when we hung on neighborhood stoops or bicycle seats? But when we were in school, we knew how to behave. Isn’t that the same for Facebook?

Mission for the parents Now, for those of you asking the proverbial “What about the parents?” question, you should know that Mandi’s mother told the media she talked to the coach after the initial benching, but got nowhere. She said she chided her daughter. And she was quoted as saying, “That’s my spot as a parent,” when asked about disciplining her child. And it is her spot. There’s no law that says parents can’t demand their kid’s Facebook password. And Mom and Dad should be more vigilant with the Internet — seeing it for the weapon of mass humiliation and slander that it can be. But Mom and Dad — not the cheering coach.

Yes, I know that in today’s world, Internet postings are far more dangerous that treehouse whisperings. If a student puts on Facebook that her teacher is a neo-Nazi, it can do tremendous damage before the next sunrise. And I know some feel that if we could crawl into the private e-mails of our teen students, we might prevent the next Columbine from happening. But thoughts are not actions, e-mails are not deeds, and profanity is not against the law. And unless you feel that when we were kids, we should have been required to bring in our diaries and read every page to the teacher, you have to — however begrudgingly — side with the cheerleader in this latest sudden spotlight story. Not for the $100 million. But for a principle worth even more. We still have the right to express ourselves on our own time in our own way. I would hope Mandi’s parents would teach her that profanity is never a good idea in the public world. But the coach should be limited to the old way of punishing such offenses. Make her write in an Internet posting 100 times, in capital letters, “I WILL NOT USE BAD WORDS (SIGNED) MANDI.” The embarrassment alone should do the trick.

President Obama’s Brew-ha-ha President Obama’s got his hands full with health care, two wars and the economy. But he put all that aside to have a beer in the Rose Garden with a friend and the cop who arrested the friend in the friend’s own home. Out of earshot, journalists focused on Job One: what to call this historic media event. ABC News offered “the Audacity of Hops.” Audacious, indeed. The Washington Post reported, “Yes, Three Cans,” “Menage a Stella Artois,” “Beerastroika” and “A Thousand Points of Bud Light.” My own Facebook friends offered “Dreams of My Lager,” “fermented forum,” draft diplomacy,” “Yes We Can — or Bottle,” “brew-ha-ha” and “the audacity of cops.” By then my online pals groaned, “I can barley keep from laughing” and “Quit while you’re a head.” I’ll stop. Obama called the chat-over-brewskis a “teachable moment.” I don’t know what was taught. Journalists were allowed no closer than 50 feet. But I could guess one thing that Obama had learned: It’s OK for a biracial president to talk about race, but don’t take sides. He brought trouble on himself when he told reporters he thought Cambridge, Mass., police Sgt. James Crowley “acted stupidly” on July 16 when they arrested his friend, Harvard Prof. Henry Louis “Skip” Gates Jr., for disorderly conduct in his own home. Faster than you could say O.J. Simpson, Obama’s approval ratings slipped, particularly among white, working class voters, according to polls. An NBC/ Wall Street Journal poll, for example, found 32 percent of whites thought Gates brought the arrest on himself. Only 7 percent thought Crowley was more at fault. African-Americans leaned just

as sharply the other way: Only 4 percent faulted Gates compared to 30 percent who thought Crowley overdid it. A Pew Research Center poll found the public disapproved of Obama’s comments by a two-toone margin, especially among working-class whites. An Obama spokesman said, “the president doesn’t spend a whole lot of time focused on polling.” That’s what presidential spokesmen always say when their polls turn bad. Conservative pundits Clarence pounced. Fox Page News star Glenn Beck said Gatesgate revealed Obama’s “a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture.” After being reminded that Obama has numerous white staffers, Beck whipped around in a double-reverse. “I’m not saying that he doesn’t like white people,” he said. “I’m saying he has a problem.” Then he said, “This guy is, I believe, a racist.” “Racist,” I have noticed, has become the sort of taboo tag to whites that the N-word traditionally has been to blacks. Black leaders partly brought this on themselves. Overusing the R-word robs it of its power and it is easy to overuse. Beck and his like are saying that whites can play that game, too, even against the half-white and scrupulously even-handed Obama. Judging by my far-right e-mailers (Some of my most faithful readers, thank you very much,) Skip Gates is a “racist” for loudly asking police to leave his house after he had established his identity.

In 1790, the Coast Guard had its beginnings as the Revenue Cutter Service. In 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were axed to death in their home in Fall River, Mass. Lizzie Borden, Andrew’s daughter from a previous marriage, was accused of the killings, but acquitted at trial.

DEAR ABBY: The reality is that the bus or train is often packed and there is no seat to move to, so we are forced to sit and listen to incredibly personal conversations or insane babbling because the person can’t sit still and use the travel time to relax. I’ve heard it all — the woman announcing her new address and phone number, the guy talking about how he’s going to lie to the judge during his divorce hearing, the gory details of someone’s recent surgery. It’s enough to make you gag. I finally got headphones. — DENVER COMMUTER

DEAR ABBY: Commuters on buses or trains should realize that it is not the library, and they should not expect the ride to be quiet. The writer of that letter should get a set of earplugs or, better yet, an MP3 player with headphones and listen to a recorded self-improvement book, or perhaps, something about improving tolerance. People talking on their cell phones are making productive use of their commute time, and it might be the only time they have to chat with friends and family.

DEAR ABBY: Your answer to “Minneapolis Commuter” (June 8), who was sick of overhearing personal cell phone conversations, missed the mark. I ride public transit to and from Sacramento every day, and most of the time the passengers -- like me -- just want a quiet ride to work and back. Sometimes a rude, obnoxious and very loud person will get on and make life miserable for the rest of us. Moving to another seat is not an option because their voices carry throughout the entire bus. Often these conversations are laced with profanity, and Dear it becomes an endurAbby ance test Universal Press to remain Syndicate polite. I no longer feel that being polite is the best solution with such people. They need to be reminded about common courtesy and respect for their neighbors. There have been days when the bus driver actually stopped the bus and ordered such passengers off. I dare say, you have not been on public transit in a while, or you would not have dismissed the complaint so quickly. — SACRAMENTO COMMUTER DEAR COMMUTER: You are right. I haven’t used public transit for some time, however, several of my staff use it daily and tell me, as you have, that phone users can be rude and obnoxious. Contacting your local public transit carrier and complaining seems to be the best way to handle the situation. If they receive enough complaints — and I’m sure they will — they may initiate policies to stop such rude behavior. And if all else fails: earplugs! Read on:

Kemoeatu likely out for season with torn Achilles’ By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Maake Kemoeatu lasted fewer than 30 minutes in Carolina’s first training camp practice Monday before tearing his right Achilles’ tendon, leaving the Panthers in disarray at the position where they entered with the least depth. The mammoth defensive tackle’s Achilles’ tendon snapped

while he was running in a noncontact position drill. He was carted to the locker room, then taken to Charlotte, where the tear was discovered Monday night. General manager Marty Hurney was given the news as the team was on the field for Monday’s second workout. He had few details and refused to say Kemoeatu would for sure be Please see KEMOEATU, page 2B

Driver Denny Hamlin races through turn three during the NASCAR Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pa. Monday.

An emotional win for Hamlin at Pocono By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer

LONG POND, Pa. — Denny Hamlin ended a 50-race winless skid Monday, holding off Juan Pablo Montoya over the final riveting laps at Pocono Raceway before choking up with grief in Victory Lane. Hamlin won for the third time in eight career starts at the triangle track that has become his personal playground. He has had three other top 10s there. He was in tears following the Pennsylvania 500, the victory coming days after his grandmother’s death. There was a catch to his voice as he spoke, and he wiped his face with a towel before walking away for a subdued celebration. His grandmother, Thelma Clark, died Friday at 91. “We definitely had some angels with us today,” Hamlin said. The race had been delayed a day because of rain. Usually not known as a track that produces

exciting races, this one was wild and unpredictable almost from the start. Clint Bowyer was third. Sam Hornish Jr. was fourth for his best finish in a Cup car, and Kasey Kahne was fifth. “Things haven’t been going our way all year long so it feels good to have something swing our way,” Bowyer said. This was Hamlin’s first victory since Martinsville Speedway in March 2008. He backed up his predicted victory and strengthened his bid for a spot in the Chase for the championship. “Denny was the car to beat all day,” Kahne said. Three-time defending Cup champion Jimmie Johnson battled an unruly car all day, falling three laps down and needing a carburetor change with 60 laps left before rebounding with a solid 13th-place finish. Johnson was scheduled to visit with President Barack Obama on Monday in honor of his 2008 Sprint Cup title. Tony Stewart, who won Po-

Joseph C. Burnette received an early birthday present with a strong showing at the National Junior Golf Club tournament on Thursday, July 30 at the difficult course at TPC Wakefield Country Club. Burnette turned 12 the day after he took second place in the tournament for the boys’ 10-11 age group. At the same tournament, older brother Daniel L. Burnette finished in the top five in a strong field of 14-15-year-olds. Burnette was a member of last year’s junior varsity team at KerrVance. The 10-11 age tournament, played on the Hale Irwindesigned course, had to be called after nine holes due to lightning on the 15th hole. Playing in his first tournament, Joseph was two shots down after nine, behind eventual winner Kevin Wiles of Cary. On the back nine, Joseph parred five consecutive holes and had one double bogey to pull back even with four to go before play was called. Joseph said he wished he could have finished the course as he felt he had the advantage with his length over his opponent. He said he was feeling really good about the way he was playing. Joseph said that, even though the 18th was a long par-5, it was a “beautiful” hole he really wanted to play. Daniel’s only mistake in his tournament came on a par-3 hole on the front nine. His triple bogey eventually put him five shots behind the winner of his age group, Victor Wiggins of Gastonia. Daniel said the course is much larger than what he’s used to. Playing over 6,800 yards, the course is about 400 yards longer than the one at Henderson Country Club from the back tees. Daniel, playing in his fourth summer tournament in the last two years, recorded his second top-five finish. His first top-five finish came last summer in tight competition at Chapel Hill Country Club. He tied for fourth at that tourney in a strong field at a Tar Heel Youth Golf Association-sponsored tournament. Daniel, who hasn’t played much golf this summer due to a busy schedule, said he was just glad he remembered how to play tournament golf. “Keeping your focus in the heat, slow play and such a long golf course is hard to do when you are not playing much,” he said.

Burress indicted on three charges New York teammate Pierce cleared of criminal charges By KAREN MATTHEWS Associated Press Writer

AP Photo/Louis Lanzano

New York Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce arrives at Manhattan criminal court with his attorney Michael Bachner, left, to testify before a grand jury in this photo taken on Thursday. Pierce's attorney said Monday that he believes the New York Giants linebacker would have been indicted for his role in the Plaxico Burress shooting incident had Pierce not testified before a Manhattan grand jury investigating the matter.

NEW YORK — Former New York Giants star Plaxico Burress was indicted by a grand jury on weapons charges for shooting himself in the thigh at a Manhattan nightclub and faces a minimum prison sentence of 3 1/2 years if convicted, prosecutors announced Monday. The indictment charged the 31-year-old Burress with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon and one count of reckless endangerment, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said.

“The grand jury applied the law to the facts of this case,” Morgenthau said. He said the accidental shooting at the Latin Quarter nightclub on Nov. 29 was treated “like any similar case against any other defendant.” Burress’ lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, said he was disappointed but not surprised by the indictment, which came after Burress testified before the grand jury and expressed remorse. “When you have the mayor and the district attorney both publicly demanding a maximum prison sentence, it was perhaps

too much to hope for the grand jury to conduct a sympathetic review of the unique facts of this sad case,” Brafman said in a statement. Burress’ former teammate Antonio Pierce, who was with Burress in the club and drove him to the hospital, was not indicted. The panel also did not indict the nightclub security guard who carried the gun to Pierce’s car or the hospital staff members who failed to notify police that Burress had been shot. Morgenthau said hospital personnel were guilty of “a screw-up Please see INDICTED, page 2B

College Football Meyer becomes highest-paid SEC coach GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida coach Urban Meyer has two national championships in the last three years and the same number of raises. Meyer signed a six-year contract Monday worth $4 million annually, up from $3.25 million, after leading the Gators to the national title in January. The new deal makes Meyer the highest-paid coach in the Southeastern Conference — at least for now. Alabama’s Nick Saban, scheduled to make $3.9 million this season, is reportedly negotiating a contract extension. And LSU’s Les Miles has a clause in his contract that guarantees him $1,000 more than any coach in the league if he leads the Tigers to a national championship. “Coach Meyer has certainly proven to be one of the top college football coaches in the country and should be compensated as such,” athletic director Jeremy Foley said in a statement. “We are proud he is our coach and we appreciate all that he has done for the Gators.”

WAC reprimands Hawaii coach for using slur HONOLULU (AP) — The Western Athletic Conference is reprimanding Hawaii coach Greg McMackin for his derogatory comment while describing Notre Dame’s chant before last year’s Hawaii Bowl. The university already has suspended McMackin for 30 days without pay. He’s volunteered to take an additional 7 percent pay cut from his $1.1 million salary. The coach also has apologized for using the gay slur during a media briefing last week at the WAC football preview in Salt Lake City. The WAC said Monday it reprimanded McMackin for violating the conference’s sportsmanship code. The league says any further violations will result in a minimum one-game suspension. “Coach McMackin’s comments were clearly offensive, violated the WAC Code, and are not condoned by either Hawaii or the WAC,” WAC commissioner Karl Benson said in a statement. Benson said he appreciates the quick and decisive actions by Hawaii Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw and athletic director Jim Donovan,” as it has made my job in processing this very unfortunate situation much easier.”

RALEIGH — North Carolina State’s preseason practice is off to a stormy start. The Wolfpack managed to get in about threequarters of its first workout Monday before lightning and a heavy downpour forced the coaches to call off the last 30 minutes of practice. Players huddled under a shelter at the practice field near CarterFinley Stadium during the summer storm, excitedly

“oohing” and laughing at every thunder clap and lightning bolt. At one point, a sideline yard marker began floating in a stream of rainwater that had drained to the side of the field. The delay lasted about 45 minutes before coach Tom O’Brien called it a day with the storm still going and the field getting sloppier by the minute. “I’ve had days like this,” O’Brien said. “There isn’t anything you can do about it. You don’t worry about the weather.” It wasn’t quite what the Wolfpack players and

coaches had envisioned when they took the field in the late afternoon sun and heat. N.C. State was the first of the state’s four Atlantic Coast Conference schools to begin practice. “I’m sure it’s not raining all over the ACC right now,” defensive end Willie Young said, “so we have to really come out (Tuesday) and make up for the five or six periods we missed today.” Still, O’Brien said he saw some things to feel good about in the abbreviated workout, primarily the continuity of players being in his system for a third season. That includes Russell Wilson, who entered last year in an

open competition for the starting quarterback job and ended up becoming an all-Atlantic Coast Conference first-team pick. “Today’s a great day, getting going and starting a new season,” Wilson said. “I feel a lot more comfortable out there. It’s exciting.” O’Brien said much of the team will continue taking exams from summer classes Tuesday. He’s just hoping his players can get through an entire practice, too. “We missed about a half-hour of practice, which is not good,” O’Brien said. “But it’s not the worst thing that can happen to us.”

Eagles say Bradley injured, but Reid not talking BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — Upset by press reports that starting middle linebacker Stewart Bradley could miss the season with a knee injury, Eagles coach Andy Reid said Monday he’s not talking about it. The Eagles confirmed Sunday night that Bradley suffered a knee injury in practice. On Monday, reports surfaced that the third-year pro has a torn ACL is likely lost for the season. After practice, Reid criticized the media instead of discussing the injury. He

said some reporters violated his “pact” with them, which Reid said dictates that reporters ask only him about team injuries, not players or other team personnel. “We won’t talk about injuries today,” Reid said. “Some of your colleagues here decided that they would go to the players and/ or other personnel here and ask about injuries. I made a pact with you guys when I first got here that I would disclose to you the injuries — just stay away from the players, stay away from other personnel in the orga-

nization, and I would take care of you with that. That part was breached...” Asked why he decided to punish the entire press corps, Reid said, “That’s the way it works. Peer pressure is the best pressure there is. You can work it out with your colleagues.” Reid did acknowledge Bradley’s absence from practice. “He did not practice today, and that’s where I’ll leave it,” said Reid, who would not say when he will again discuss injuries. “When I decide that people

can abide by the rules, I’ll do that.” Bradley also declined to discuss the injury, deferring to his coach. “I think he’s pretty adamant about not addressing the issue,” Bradley said. While Reid and Bradley declined to talk about the linebacker’s absence, other Eagles players did. “Stu was our starting linebacker, so it’s a blow,” safety Quintin Mikell said. “But it’s the NFL. We got to have guys that are ready to step up, and I believe we have those guys.”

The Panthers will likely attempt to sign a veteran defensive tackle. “We have some young guys that will have to step up,” Hurney said. “We’ll look at this and figure out what our next step will be in the next few days.” It was a poor beginning for the Panthers and new defensive coordinator Ron Meeks, who also watched Beason tweak a left hamstring in the morning practice. Beason, who sat out the second practice, insisted the injury wasn’t serious and will return soon. Before the severity of Kemoeatu’s injury was known, Beason praised the

eight-year pro for helping him become Carolina’s leading tackler the past two seasons. “It’s like night and day. That New York game, it was bad. However you look at it, it’s embarrassing,” Beason said. “We know we’re a lot better than that. To allow a team to rush for 300 yards is unacceptable. ... But it was a good experience for those young guys. Obviously they weren’t as consistent as those vets, but they had some pretty good plays, too.” The Panthers signed Kemoeatu in 2006 after he played his first five seasons in Baltimore.

carry a concealed weapon in the state of Florida had expired in May 2008. The charges Burress was indicted on carry a mandatory minimum sentence of 3 1/2 years in prison. He pleaded not guilty to weapons charges earlier this year and is free on $100,000 bail. The grand jury indictment comes after plea bargain negotiations broke down, apparently because Morgenthau was insisting that Burress serve at least two years in prison under any plea agreement. Assistant District Attorney Mark Dwyer said it is standard policy to request a two-year sentence as part of a plea bargain on such serious charges.

Burress, who caught the winning touchdown for the Giants over the New England Patriots in the final minute of the 2008 Super Bowl, also could face disciplinary action by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Goodell’s office announced in June that the league already had started its examination of the shooting, and NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday’s indictment “will be considered as part of that review.” The Giants released Burress in April and he has yet to sign with another team. ——— AP Sports Writer Tom Canavan in Albany, N.Y., contributed to this report.

KEMOEATU, from page 1B placed on injured reserve. However, that injury takes several months to heal, likely ending his season. “Obviously he’s disappointed. That’s understandable,” Hurney said. “I talked to him after it was done. Just like anybody it’s a hard thing to deal with.” The 6-foot-5, 345-pound Kemoeatu was the key cog in Carolina’s run defense, often drawing double teams and opening up lanes for speedy middle linebacker Jon Beason to make plays. His absence is compounded by Carolina’s lack of depth. Handicapped by

the salary cap gobbling $16.7 million contract defensive end Julius Peppers is playing this season under the franchise tag, the Panthers did not sign a single unrestricted free agent from another team. Backup defensive tackle Darwin Walker also wasn’t re-signed. The Panthers threw undrafted rookie Marlon Favorite in Kemoeatu’s position in the morning practice. Second-year pro Nick Hayden, who filled in for an injured Kemoeatu last season when the New York Giants rushed for 301 yards in an overtime win, was there in the second workout.

INDICTED, from page 1B rather than a cover-up” and the security guard exhibited “bad judgment in the first degree” but did not commit a crime. Pierce, who also testified before the grand jury last week, was practicing with the Giants in Albany when he learned of the panel’s decision. Giants President John Mara said the team was pleased that the linebacker was not indicted. “We said last week we felt strongly that Antonio’s actions did not warrant criminal charges, and obviously the grand jury, having heard all of the testimony, felt the same way,” he said. Pierce’s lawyer, Michael Bachner, said, “By appearing before the grand jury for almost three hours and answering the grand jury’s very direct and very considered questions, it was clear to us that they understood that Mr. Pierce acted as any citizen under extraordinary circumstances would have acted.” Burress was at the

Latin Quarter nightclub Nov. 29 when a gun tucked into his waistband slipped down his leg and fired, shooting him in the right thigh. Prosecutors said Monday that after taking Burress to the hospital, Pierce drove the gun to his own home in New Jersey — not to Burress’ home, as was originally reported. They said he later arranged for it to be taken to Burress’ home. Assistant District Attorney John Wolfstaetter said the bullet that hit Burress narrowly missed a nightclub security guard who was standing inches away.

The Daily Dispatch

NL Roundup Atlanta starter Kenshin Kawakami pitches in the first inning against the Padres in San Diego Monday. When The Dispatch went to press late Monday night, the Braves trailed 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth.

The Bulls blew an early, two-run lead by giving up six unanswered runs as they lost, 6-2 to the Indianapolis Indians Monday night at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Durham jumped on the board in the first inning with a Justin Rug-

his fourth straight victory. Fontenot homered in the second inning off Harang (5-13), who leads the majors in losses. Harang hasn’t won since May 25, going 0-9 in his last 13 starts.

Astros 4, Giants 3 HOUSTON (AP) — Geoff Blum and Kaz Matsui homered off Matt Cain and Houston snapped the San Francisco ace’s sixstart unbeaten streak. Blum led off the fifth with a homer, the first earned run allowed by Cain in 14 innings. That cut the Giants’ lead to 2-1 and Matsui put Houston on top in the sixth with a two-run shot off the rightfield foul pole. Cain (12-3) also gave up Carlos Lee’s RBI single in the eighth. Mike Hampton (7-8) gave up eight hits, only one after the Giants took a 2-0 lead in the third. He struck out six and won for just the third time in eight starts. Diamondbacks 6, Mets 5 NEW YORK (AP) — Mark Reynolds hit two home runs, powering Dan Haren and Arizona. Reynolds and Miguel Montero capped Arizona’s three-run first with only the second set of backto-back homers at the new Citi Field. Reynolds added a two-run shot off Nelson Figueroa (1-1) in the second. Gerardo Parra had three hits and drove in a run for the Diamondbacks, who nearly blew a six-run lead. Haren (11-6) allowed five runs and eight hits over seven innings, and is 7-2 with a 2.44 ERA in his last 10 starts.

POCONO, from page 1B and kept his eye solely on the points standings. He went from 10th to eighth in the standings and is in good shape to make the Chase for the first time. “My goal this year is making the Chase,” Montoya said. “That’s the bigger picture. The 18 (Kyle Busch) has won three races this year and he’s like 150 points out.” Bowyer, who wasn’t won in 47 races, moved up to 15th in the Chase standings. There are five races left before the 12-driver field is set for the 10-race sprint for the title. Bowyer lost the lead with eight laps left. “There wasn’t a straight finger on my car,” Bowyer said. “Once they caught me, they caught me.” Hamlin had a rare poor outing in the June race at Pocono because of a fuel pump problem that sent him to the garage after only two laps. He returned and finished 38th, but has been one of the hottest drivers over the last seven races. Hamlin recorded four top fives over that span and did all he could to

giano sacrifice fly scoring Desmond Jennings. They added another in the second with consecutive doubles from Rhyne Hughes and Ray Olmedo, with the latter two-bagger scoring Hughes from second giving the Bulls a 2-0 lead. Hughes ended the day 2-3 with two doubles, a

run and a strikeout as he extended his hitting streak to 11 games, a Bulls' season-high. He is 21-for-37 (.567) during that hot streak with eight doubles and one homerun. The Bulls' lead would not last as the Indians began to chip away in the fourth inning with an RBI-single from Robinzon

Diaz off Durham starting pitcher Andy Sonnanstine making the score 2-1. Indianapolis tied the game in the fifth with a solo shot from Brian Bixler to left-center. They then took the lead the very next inning with another long bomb, this time from Chris Barnwell over the Snorting Bull in left.

Nats come from behind to beat Pirates

Cubs 4, Reds 2 CINCINNATI (AP) — Rookie right-hander Randy Wells took a shutout into the eighth inning Monday night, and Mike Fontenot hit a three-run homer off slumping Aaron Harang, leading Chicago to a 4-2 victory over Cincinnati. The Cubs have gone 20-10 since July 1, and are 13-5 since the All-Star break, the best mark in the majors. Wells (8-4) allowed six hits, including Alex Gonzalez’s solo homer, over 7 1-3 innings while getting

Nationals 8, Pirates 4 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman homered and Washington rallied from a three-run deficit. Cristian Guzman had two hits and two RBIs and Tyler Clippard (2-1) earned the win with three hitless innings of relief for Washington, which won the last two games to split the four-game series between the last-place teams. Andrew McCutchen homered for the fourth time in three games and Ryan Doumit went 3 for 5 for the Pirates, who have lost seven of nine. Mike MacDougal earned his eighth save by getting Delwyn Young, the only batter he faced, to ground out with two runners on. Charlie Morton (2-4) allowed all four of his runs and four of his six hits in the sixth. Pittsburgh’s Jeff Karstens struck out the first two hitters of the seventh but allowed the next six hitters to reach base with four of them scoring.

move up the standings — except win. “I feel like we’re the best car other than the Hendrick cars,” Hamlin said. The Hendrick cars were mostly out of the picture over the final laps, leaving a pack of drivers who haven’t contended for many checkered flags this year going for the win. Montoya, Bowyer and Hornish are all winless, and Kahne has one victory. Hamlin led 91 laps, but had fallen to 11th. He bumped David Reutimann with 25 laps left to bring out a caution. Fueled by emotion, Hamlin scrapped any ideas of a conservative approach for points and took off for the win. One member of Hamlin’s crew recently lost his mother, and the whole team competed with heavy hearts. Hamlin couldn’t keep his emotions in check. “Every lap. Every single lap it comes out,” Hamlin said. “When I got behind, it really started getting frustrating from my standpoint. I thought I was going to let it slip away with 50 to go.”

Tigers win with walk-off homer in ninth Tigers 6, Orioles 5 DETROIT (AP) — Clete Thomas homered with two outs in the ninth to give the Detroit Tigers a 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night. Baltimore led 5-0 with one out in the top of the first, but never scored again. The game was tied at 5 going into the ninth, and Danys Baez

(4-5) retired the first two batters, but Thomas hit a 1-2 pitch into the shrubs above the fence in center. Fernando Rodney (2-2) picked up the win with a scoreless inning of relief. Neither starter was involved in the decision. Justin Verlander pitched eight innings, allowing five runs and nine hits. Orioles rookie Chris Tillman gave up five runs

HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21-April 19). The world seems like more of an emotional place. What you see will move you — make you laugh, cry or shout. And it gets more complex, colorful and interesting as the day progresses. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You dearly love a certain needy person, and yet you won’t have the time to lavish attention on this person today. Once you return to focusing on your own plan, you’ll return to feeling calm and in control. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve no shortage of ideas about how to fill up your time. You also have a knack for finding the most exciting hot spots around. Invite a Libra or Pisces to share in your adventures. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will be increasingly aware of the way you talk to yourself in your mind. Your reactions to mistakes will be softer. You’ll find that you can be honest with yourself without being critical. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be among serious people. This is your opportunity to show off. Come up with the ideas and go for it. Everyone will be entertained by your spontaneous sense of fun. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You phrase things in a way that makes yourself and others feel fantastic. You’ll say the perfect thing in just the right tone. This occurrence is even sweeter because your message is appreciated. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t have to talk about yourself or what you’ve been up to. Your man-

ners will tell the world where you are from and where you are going. You don’t mind when others sum you up because you have much to be proud of. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll enjoy your work and have an easy time getting along with others. There’s hardly a person around you can’t find something nice to say about. That’s why when it’s time to team up, you’ll be at the top of everyone’s list. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Call the person who can calm you down whether or not you think you need calming. You do, by the way. Get connected to those who care about you and you’ll suddenly be grounded and ready for action. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Life is out there for you on a beautiful display, but it’s not going to serve itself to you. You have to be the one to reach out and take it. So drum up a little more grit and moxie. Take it you will. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve a remarkable ability for winning people over. You have a fan who is willing to give what you ask. In fact, this person will be made happy by your mere request. So ask! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Being complimented will feel wonderful, even if you have to compliment yourself. It might come to that, as you will probably be working with younger or more inexperienced people who don’t understand your greatness.
