Veterans’ histories

CAROLINA BEACH (AP) — The stepmother of the police officer who shot an Army psychiatrist suspected of opening fire on fellow soldiers said Friday the woman’s heroics are not surprising.

Wanda Barbour told The Star-News of Wilmington that she knew Sgt. Kimberly Munley was involved when she heard a female officer at Fort Hood had shot and Munley wounded Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.

“When they said a female officer, a little part of me just knew,” Barbour told the newspaper. “She is a very great person with a great spirit.”

Officials say 34-year-old Munley,

who was wounded, ended the crisis.

She was recovering Friday in stable condition.

“We’re just so grateful and thankful to the Lord that she’s safe,” Barbour said. “Our hearts just ache for the loss of others, too, and hers, too. She’s still upset about that.”

Related Lt. Gen. Bob Cone story, said Munley and her partner responded page 6A within three minutes of reported gunfire Thursday afternoon. Cone said Munley shot the gunman several times despite being shot herself.

“She happened to encounter the gunman. In an exchange of gunfire, she was wounded but managed to wound him four times,” Cone said.

“It was an amazing and aggressive

performance by this police officer.”

The Associated Press reported that Munley’s boss, Chuck Medley, said that Hasan charged at her with a gun in each hand. She shot him in the upper torso. In the exchange of gunfire, Munley was shot in the thighs and wrist.

Munley is the daughter of Dennis Barbour, a former mayor of Carolina Beach. The coastal town is about 15 miles south of Wilmington.

Wrightsville Beach Police Chief John Carey said Munley, who worked for the force from 2000 to 2002 before moving away from the area, was a petite officer who worked well with others.

“She was a very personable officer. She got along good with every-

Hillside Avenue Project fits city’s objective of safe, decent housing

By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

Architectural designs illustrating potential major improvements to housing in a neighborhood southeast of the central business district are ready after an at-least 1 1/2-year process.

Celen Pasalar, an N.C. State University professor, and Meredith Pittman, an Pasalar intern architect, earlier this week at City Hall showed activists, citizens and officials the Hillside Avenue Project, which is in the Flint Hill section.

The N.C. Community Development Pittman Initiative, led by Abdul Rasheed, contracted with N.C. State to develop a master plan for new residences on lots

For a look at the Hillside Avenue Project presentation, go to http://extra.hendersondispatch.com owned by Greater Little Zion Holiness Church, located along Flint Street. City Councilwoman Brenda Peace is the church’s pastor.

Peace said she is excited because, “We realize there can actually be change.”

City Manager Ray Griffin said, “This concept fits very nicely” with a council key strategic objective for redeveloping neighborhoods and providing safe, decent housing and cleaning out blight.

And this project “suits that to a tee,” Griffin added.

“Another big step for the city of Henderson, a very positive step,” Mayor Pete O’Geary said.

Pasalar and Pittman first showed the percent of persons living at or

below the poverty line in Henderson having increased from slightly below 20 percent in 1970 to nearly 30 percent in 2000.

And the two showed the percent of occupants who owned their own home in Henderson having been at slightly less than 50 percent in 1960.

The percent surpassed 55 in 1980 before falling back to below 50 in 2000.

Flint Hill is in a zone with a 35 percent poverty rate, with the median age being slightly under 35.

Pasalar and Pittman said Flint Hill is sort of like being in a valley, with a creek passing behind some of the parcels and being a factor in considering designs. They did look at the landform partly to see how to use it as an asset and looked at controlling water flow in a beautiful and functional way.

With cooler temperatures arriving, our gardens are finally starting to fade.

The time has come to “put them to bed” for the winter season.

In the vegetable garden, discard any remaining plants or till them into the soil.

Plants left standing can Paul harbor inMcKenzie sect and disease Cooperative Extension pests that will reinfest your plants next season. A cover crop will hold soil and nutrients in place, and add organic matter. Several options are available, with annual ryegrass being one of the cheapest and easiest. Just take care not to let it set seed.

Annual flowers should likewise be removed,

though with some you may want to collect seed first. Marigolds, cosmos and zinnias, for example, have seeds that are easy to collect, giving you a free supply for next year.

Perennial flowers and ornamental grasses with interesting foliage or dried blooms can be left standing for the time being.

They will add interest to the landscape over the otherwise drab winter.

They should be cut back in February or March before new growth starts.

You might also want to divide perennials, such as daylilies, irises, hostas, etc. Wait much longer and it may be difficult to find them as the foliage dies back. Likewise with your daffodils and other bulbs that need thinning.

Continue planting trees and shrubs, as long as the ground is not frozen.

Survival rates are much better compared to spring plantings, as they have the winter to settle in and grow roots. Consider something with winter berries or blossoms to brighten up

Tips Play sock games with the kids 1) Place a basket 10-12 feet away. Put a rolled up pair of socks between your knees. Duck waddle to drop them in.

2) Put a rolled up pair of socks on your tummy.

Crab walk over to the basket to drop them in.

3) Partially fill socks with rice or beans. Sew ends of socks shut to keep beans from spilling and the children from putting beans in their mouths.

your landscape when little else is blooming.

While you’re out in the yard, take time to inspect your shade trees.

With the leaves out of the canopy, you can more easily inspect branches.

Look for dead, decaying and damaged limbs. A pair of binoculars may help.

Inspect the trunks as well for signs of damage or rot. If you notice anything unusual, call a certified arborist to get an expert opinion.

Run the gas out of your mower or trimmer before putting it away for the season. Alternatively, add some type of fuel stabilizer, then run the equipment long enough for the treated gas to reach the carburetor. You might also check the plug, air filter, and mower blade so everything will be ready to go next spring.

A wire brush can be used to clean shovels, rakes and other hand tools in order to minimize rust over the winter. Protect wooden handles with a

the creek, while local regulations specify a 25-foot setback from the avenue and the street and an eight-foot setback from the sightlines of each property.

And combining parcels did help in instances. Pasalar and Pittman are trying to maintain at least 18 feet of spacing between houses.

Pasalar said the city needs to be a bit flexible when reviewing the details, which specify approximately a dozen units on nine or 10 parcels.

Pasalar said that, after conversations with church members and interviews with residents, key responses were maintaining porches and having structures with at least three bedrooms, a comfortably sized kitchen, a place to do the laundry, 2 1/2 bathrooms and nine- foot-high ceilings.

The houses would utilize ventilation and natural light and would be constructed with flood protection in mind.

Pasalar and Pittman proposed houses designed with a side porch or a wrap-around porch or with a foursquare design with large front porch.

one,” he said. “She wasn’t afraid of anything.”

Carey said Munley joined the force in March 2000 as a reserve officer.

She later became a permanent employee in fall of that year.

“She was a good shot,” Carey said of Munley’s shooting and training. “Her abilities and the training that she got here hopefully had a lot to do with preparing her for that situation.”

Carey said several of his officers, who have kept in touch with Munley over the years, spoke with her earlier Friday. He said she’s still recovering from her wounds, which include a shot to her thigh. But he said everyone on the force is proud.

“I think everybody here is,” he said. “We’re just thankful she was able to

Authorities said the 39-year-old Hasan went on a shooting spree Thursday that left 13 people dead at the Texas post.

He was among 30 people wounded and remained hospitalized on a ventilator on Friday.

All but two of the injured were still hospitalized, and all were in stable condition.

Wanda Barbour told the newspaper she and her husband are heading to Texas.

A message left by The Associated Press at the Barbour home was not immediately returned.

“She was just a very well-rounded student athlete,” Spencer said of Munley’s participation in volleyball and softball.

“Anyone is going to be surprised when they know someone who takes such a heroic step,” he said. “But if you remember the kind of young person she was, you could easily understand it.”

Morgan said she believes a next step in the overall process is for the church’s pastor, City Councilwoman Brenda Peace, to have a meeting to identify those individuals or city representatives whom they need to meet and say, “Here’s where we are” and ask what is Gateway willing to do and how can the city provide assistance.

Gateway’s administrator, Gary Morgan, was on hand for the presentation.

And Peace recognized two partners already in the effort: First Baptist Church and Shiloh Baptist Church.

tion of a non-church-owned parcel.

Close to the intersection of Hillside and Flint and the church, instead of combining three parcels into one, the decision was made to propose a cluster of four houses with a courtyard.

Two properties at the corner of Hillside and Flint do not have the dimensions to accommodate a residence and the proposal instead is to have low-maintenance open space.

The presentation, along with a question and answer session, happened Monday evening and lasted nearly an hour and a half. Models of the potential homes will be on display at the Greater Little Zion church.

Pasalar is director of the Downtown Design Studio at N.C. State’s College of Design.

The studio is a community outreach unit, with students and recent graduates serving as part of projects.

The studio additionally is a think tank and part of the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service.

but that the initiative “will only be, to some degree, a support” to the church, the city and Gateway “for the obvious reasons.”

Morgan did express excitement about the proposal, saying, “This is certainly the kind of prototype that the city, by the way, can use for any neighborhood in Henderson that it wishes to redesign.”

Morgan did note that one of the designs, for a duplex, did not come up until the feedback process of the project, with the idea being to have a tenant live in one part of the building and rent the other part to generate income to pay the mortgage.

And Morgan noted the church, which owns the parcels on which the houses are proposed, will

A representative of the N.C. Community Development Initiative says that, in order for the Hillside Avenue Project to become a reality, the municipal government and Flint Hill residents will have to move it forward.

Daphne Morgan, speaking for the initiative moments after a lengthy Monday night presentation of the proposal for new residences along Hillside, said the Gateway Community Development Corp. in Henderson has to be the lead organization in terms of adopting this as a housing development and has to partner with Greater Little Zion Holiness Church along Flint Street.

“We certainly are not going to try to develop Flint Hill and its housing from Raleigh,” but the initiative knows Gateway has the ability and capability to take on the leadership and work with the church to make this happen, Morgan said.

The initiative, which is based in the capital city, was founded in 1994 to increase assets and create wealth for groups and individuals in low-resource areas. The initiative contracted with N.C. State University to come up with plans for the Hillside project.

Morgan said the initiative’s chief executive, Abdul Rasheed, who was not present, asked her to make clear that “the initiative will not walk away”

Deaths

News Briefs Police: Fla. gunman thought company nixed benefit ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Police say a former employee accused of fatally shooting one person and wounding five others at an Orlando, Fla., engineering firm thought it had blocked his efforts to obtain unemployment benefits.

Police say Jason Rodriguez told detectives after Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shooting that his bosses at Reynolds, Smith and Hills had fired him two years ago Rodriguez for no good reason.

He recently worked at a Subway sandwich shop but told detectives he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough hours.

He said he filed for unemployment but an expected check didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come and he blamed Reynolds, Smith and Hills.

Police say Rodriguez walked into the firm, pulled a gun and fatally shot an employee. He then opened fire on others, wounding them. He surrendered a short time later at his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house.

Reports: Three N.D. college students drowned DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Authorities say preliminary autopsy results show drowning as the cause of death for three North Dakota college softball players found dead inside a sport utility vehicle that

sunk in a rural farm pond.

Stark County Sheriff Clarence Tuhy said Friday that two of the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bodies were found in the SUVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rear cargo area and one was found in the middle of the vehicle.

The bodies of 22-yearold Kyrstin Gemar of San Diego, Calif.; 20-yearold Afton Williamson of Lake Elsinore, Calif.; and 21-year-old Ashley Neufeld, of Brandon, Manitoba, were found Tuesday.

Investigators believe the Dickinson State students were on a stargazing trip Sunday and likely drove into the water in the darkness.

A complete autopsy report, including tests for drugs and alcohol, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expected for a week or two.

Authorities say man stole car to face theft charge VALLEJO, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The California Highway Patrol say a man stole a car to make a court appearance on a previous auto theft charge.

The patrol says 24-yearold Samuel Botchvaroff, of Oakland, was arrested Tuesday after he left his arraignment at the Vallejo courthouse on auto theft charges. He was booked into Solano County Jail on suspicion of auto theft and possession of stolen property.

Authorities were looking for the stolen car after its tracking system alerted them about the theft.

The car was stolen from Oakland.

They say Botchvaroff told officers his own car had been impounded and

that he had no other way to get to his arraignment.

No details about the previous theft charge were immediately available. Calls to the highway patrol and the jail were not immediately returned Friday.

Los Angeles moves to ban declawing of cats LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Los Angeles City Council has given preliminary approval to an ordinance that would ban the declawing of cats.

The unanimous vote Friday follows a similar action by the Beverly Hills City Council a day earlier.

A final vote in both cities is expected Nov. 17.

Council members described the procedure as unnecessary and abject animal cruelty.

City Council President Eric Garcetti added an urgency clause to the ordinance so it can take effect before New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day 2010, when the state will begin banning cities and counties from regulating the practice of veterinary medicine.

The cities of Santa Monica and San Francisco also have given preliminary approval to declawing bans.

Person-of-interest in Seattle officer killing shot SEATTLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Police on Friday shot and wounded a person-of-interest sought in the Halloween night killing of a Seattle police officer, just as a massive memorial service for

the officer drew to a close.

Tukwila police spokesman Mike Murphy says the shooting occurred as officers served a search warrant at an apartment complex in the south Seattle suburb.

Television footage showed dozens of cruisers surrounding the building, while some officers examined a car that, though covered by a tarp, resembled the profile of an old Datsun believed to have been seen nearby when the officer was killed.

Seattle police Officer Timothy Brenton was shot and killed as he sat in a car with an officer-trainee after a traffic stop on Oct. 31. Thousands of officers from around the country attended a memorial Friday for Brenton at KeyArena in Seattle.

Wis. man donates cheesehead hat signed by Obama MADISON, Wis. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Wisconsin man who got his cheesehead hat signed

by President Barack Obama has decided to donate it to a museum rather than sell it on eBay. Mansfield Neblett told The Associated Press in an e-mail Friday he decided to donate the triangular, bright yellow hat to the Wisconsin Historical Society. Obama signed the hat Wednesday during a visit to a Madison middle school that Neblettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter attends.

Fans often wear the hats shaped like slices of cheese to Green Bay Packers games.

The 46-year-old Neblett said Wednesday he was considering selling his hat on eBay. The Liberian immigrant soon had second thoughts and said he decided instead to donate it.

VETERANS, from page one volunteers will interview veterans to compile an oral history of their experiences.

Personal papers and memorabilia will also be collected.

The interviews will be preserved by the library and shared with the North Carolina Division of Historical Resources.

The library is seeking the names and contact information of World War II veterans, Korean War veterans, Vietnam veterans and Gulf War veterans. In

addition, the library is seeking volunteers to assist with the project. Veterans and other interested individuals should contact Library Director Sue Loper at (252) 257-4990 extension 100.

Because of their age, World War II veterans will be interviewed first.

This group, now in their 80s or older, is dwindling, as time catches up with them. The project hopes to record as many of their stories as possible. The N.C.

Division of Historical Resources, Military Collection contains only one interview with a veteran from Warren County.

The project plans to collect photographs of veterans and papers of various kinds, including personal papers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as letters, postcards and diaries--and military documents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as copies of orders, certificates, citations and discharge orders.

Loaned items will be copied and returned to the owner.

WARRENTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Emily Taylor Gardner, 81, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her family, on Thursday, November 5, 2009, after a brief illness with cancer.

She loved the Lord and was devoted to her family. Emily was a shining example of the love of Jesus Christ through her ministry to the needs of others. She was a sensitive and gracious woman, putting the needs of others before her own; quietly and secretly helping wherever needed. She truly exemplified the fruit of the Spirit listed in Galations 5:22-23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Emily will be greatly missed by her family, friends and neighbors.

Emily was born November 16, 1927, in Onslow County to Kenneth F. Taylor and Ada G. Jones.

She is survived by her son, David Gardner and wife, Cathy, of Warrenton; two daughters, Janet Adair and husband, Dodd, of Birmingham, Ala.; and Susan Creed and husband, Richard, of Greensboro, N.C. She is survived by nine grandchildren, Angela Thatcher, Clint Lorek, Matthew Gardner, Lauren, David and Scott Adair, and Jason, Megan and Adam

Creed. She also has two great-grandchildren, Avery and Breanna Thatcher.

Emily was a member of Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church for 60 plus years where she served faithfully as Sunday school teacher, choir member, circle member, youth leader and board member. One of her favorite activities was her Tuesday morning Bible study group. As an alumni of Louisburg College, Emily was honored to serve on the Board of Trustees for 10 years.

She also enjoyed the close relationships she shared with her Tuesday afternoon Bridge Club.

Funeral Services will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, November 8, 2009, at Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church with internment immediately following at Gardners Baptist Church Cemetary. The family will receive friends today, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Blaylock Funeral Home in Warrenton.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions may be made to Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 614, Warrenton, N.C. 27589; or Louisburg College, Office of Institutional Development, 501 North Main St., Louisburg, N.C. 27549.

Jobless rate 10.2 percent, and is likely to go higher

Area

A DAY ON WALL STREET

Dow Jones industrials

10,000

WASHINGTON — The unemployment rate has hit double digits for the first time since 1983 — and is likely to go higher.

The 10.2 percent jobless rate for October shows how weak the economy remains even though it is growing.

The rising jobless rate could threaten the recovery if it saps consumers’ confidence and makes them more cautious about spending as the holiday season approaches.

The October unemployment rate — reflecting nearly 16 million jobless people — jumped from 9.8 percent in September, the Labor Department said Friday. The job losses occurred across most industries, from manufacturing and construction to retail and financial.

Economists say the unemployment rate could surpass 10.5 percent next year because employers are reluctant to hire.

President Barack Obama called the new jobs report another illustration of why much more work is needed to spur business creation and consumer spending.

The government’s monthly unemployment report is based on two surveys, one of households, one of companies’ payrolls. The household survey showed that about 558,000 more people were unemployed last month than in September, raising the total to 15.7 million. The company survey, however, showed only a third as many job losses — 190,000.

The disparity can be explained by the fact that the company survey doesn’t count people who are selfemployed and undercounts employees of small businesses. That’s why some analysts, like Diane Swonk,

Job seekers on Wednesday hand resumes while trying to get information at a job fair in Livonia, Mich. chief economist at Mesirow Financial, say last month’s household survey could be an ominous sign for the economy.

Troubles for small businesses could have a disproportionate effect on the economy, because they account for about 60 percent of the nation’s jobs. They tend to rely on credit cards and home equity lines to maintain their cash flow.

Banks have tightened credit in many of these areas.

The 10.2 percent unemployment rate does not include people without jobs who have stopped looking for work or those who have settled for part-time jobs. If you counted those people, the unemployment rate would be 17.5 percent, the highest on records dating from 1994.

Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist for New York-based investment firm Miller Tabak & Co., said, “What we’re seeing is a validation of the idea that a jobless recovery is perfectly on track.”

Last week, the government said the economy grew at a 3.5 percent annual rate in the July-September quarter, the strongest signal yet that the worst recession since the Great Depression

is over. But that growth isn’t fast enough to turn the job market around.

The economy soared by nearly eight percent in 1983 after a steep recession, lowering the jobless rate by 2.5 percentage points that year.

But the economy is unlikely to improve that fast this time, as consumers remain cautious and tight credit hinders businesses.

One sign of how hard it still is to find a job: The number of Americans who have been out of work for six months or longer rose from 5.4 million to 5.6 million, a record. They account for 35.6 percent of the unemployed population, matching a record set last month.

Congress sought to address the impact of long-term unemployment this week by approving legislation extending jobless benefits for the fourth time since the recession began. The bill would add 14 to 20 extra weeks of aid and is intended to prevent almost two million recipients from running out of unemployment insurance during the upcoming holiday season.

October was the 22nd straight month the U.S. economy has shed jobs, the longest on records dating back 70 years.

Company ships N.C., Utah jobs to China LINDON, Utah (AP) — The U.S. Department of Labor says workers laid off in Utah by a business-services company will qualify for special federal assistance because their jobs were lost to foreign competition.

The company, Modus Link Corp., shipped the jobs to an

operation in China.

The company says the 30 laid-off workers were predominantly from operations in Lindon, Utah, and Raleigh, N.C. The Labor Department says it will provide the workers with career retraining and other services.

The government also pays up to half of the difference between a worker’s old and new salaries for two years.

Waltham, Mass.-based Modus says it operates 25 “solution centers” around the world to help large companies manage their business affairs.

N.C. court ends tobacco payments in Md., Pa. RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s highest court says three cigarette companies no longer have to make payments to tobacco farmers in Maryland and Pennsylvania through a decade-old settlement.

The state Supreme Court ruled Friday that Philip Mor-

ris, Lorillard and R.J. Reynolds tobacco companies could stop making payments to those growers through a 1999 agreement. The agreement says the companies could reduce their payments when Congress agreed to a buyout for quota owners in 2004.

The justices ruled the

states entered the agreement knowing the payments would end as a result of a quota buyout.

Maryland’s Department of Agriculture says farmers in that state and in Pennsylvania would have received $22 million had a trial court ruling been upheld.

Fort Hood suspect said methodical goodbyes

By BRETT J. BLACKLEDGE and MIKE BAKER Associated Press Writers

FORT HOOD, Texas — As if going off to war, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan cleaned out his apartment, gave leftover frozen broccoli to one neighbor and called another to thank him for his friendship — common courtesies and routines of the departing soldier. Instead, authorities say, he went on the killing spree that left 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, dead.

Investigators examined Hasan’s computer, his home and his garbage Friday to learn what motivated the suspect, who lay in a coma, shot four times in the frantic bloodletting that also wounded 30. Hospital officials said Hasan some of the wounded had extremely serious injuries and might not survive.

The 39-year-old Army psychiatrist emerged as a study in contradictions: a polite man who stewed with discontent, a counselor who needed to be counseled himself, a professional healer now suspected of cutting down the fellow soldiers he was sworn to help.

Relatives said he felt harassed because of his Muslim faith but did not embrace extremism. Others were not so sure. A recent classmate said Hasan once gave a jarring presentation to students in which he argued the war on terrorism was a war against Islam, and “made himself a lightning rod for things” when he felt his religious beliefs were challenged.

Investigators were trying to piece together how and why Hasan allegedly gunned down his comrades in one

of the worst mass shootings ever on an American military base. The rampage unfolded at a center where some 300 unarmed soldiers were lined up for vaccines and eye tests.

Soldiers reported that the gunman shouted “Allahu Akbar!” — an Arabic phrase for “God is great!” — before opening fire Thursday, said Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, the base commander. He said officials had not confirmed Hasan made the comment.

Hasan’s family said in a statement Friday that his alleged actions were “despicable and deplorable” and don’t reflect how the family was reared.

Hasan was due to be deployed to Afghanistan to help soldiers with combat stress, a task he’d done stateside with returning soldiers, the Army said. The timing of his departure was not disclosed.

In any event, the major was saying goodbyes and dispensing belongings to neighbors.

Jose Padilla, the owner of Hasan’s apartment complex, said Hasan gave him notice two weeks ago that he was moving out this week.

Earlier this week, Hasan asked Padilla his native language. When Padilla said it was Spanish, Hasan immediately went up to his apartment to get him a Spanish-language Quran.

Padilla said Hasan also refused to reclaim his deposit and last month’s rent, surrendering $400 that the major said should go to someone who needed it.

“I cannot comprehend that the enemy was among us,” Padilla said, tearing up.

“I feel a little guilt that I was basically giving housing to someone who is going to do so much destruction.”

Neighbor Patricia Villa said Hasan came to her apartment the day of

Jacqueline Harris, 44, who lives with her boyfriend Willie Bell in the apartment next door to Hasan, said he called Thursday at 5 a.m. and left a message.

“He just wanted to thank

Willie for being a good friend and thank him for being there for him,” Harris said.

“That was it.We thought it was just a nice message to leave.”

Bell said Hasan offered a farewell, saying “nice knowing you old friend. I’m going to miss you.”

with scratching Hasan’s car, causing $1,000 in damage.

Apartment manager John Thompson said the man charged was a soldier back from Iraq, who objected to Hasan’s faith and ripped a bumper sticker off the major’s car that said: “Allah is Love.”

Kim Rosenthal, another neighbor, said Hasan didn’t seem too upset by his scratched vehicle, even though it was damaged so badly that he got a new one.

“He said it was Ramadan and that he had to forgive people,” Rosenthal said. “He forgave him and moved on.”

Hasan appeared less forgiving to Dr. Val Finnell when they were classmates in a 2007-08 master’s public health program at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md. She said that at a class presentation by public health students, at which topics like dry cleaning chemicals and house mold were discussed, Hasan talked about U.S. military actions as a war on Islam. Hasan made clear he was a “vociferous opponent” of U.S. wars in Muslim countries, Finnell said.

“He made himself a lightning rod for things,” she said. “No one picked on him because he was a Muslim.”

Law enforcement officials said they are trying to confirm if Hasan wrote Internet postings that include his

name about suicide bombings and other threats, equating suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the life of fellow soldiers.

Hasan is the Arlington, Va.-born son of Palestinian parents who ran a restaurant and bar in Roanoke, Va., from 1987 to 1995, and owned a small grocery store in that city.

His relatives in the West Bank said they had heard from family members that Hasan felt mistreated in the Army as a Muslim.

“He told (them) that as a Muslim committed to his prayers he was discriminated against and not treated as is fitting for an officer and American,” said Mohammed Malik Hasan, 24, a cousin.

“He hired a lawyer to get him a discharge.”

Mohammed Hasan said outside his home in Ramallah that he heard about the shooting from a relative.

“I was surprised, honestly, because the guy and his brothers are so calm, and he, as I know, loves his work.”

Nidal Hasan is the eldest of three brothers. One brother, Annas, lives in Ramallah with a wife and daughter, and practices law.

The youngest brother, Eyad, lives in Virginia.

“We don’t mix with them a lot,” Mohammed said. “Nidal like to stay alone, he was very calm. He minded his own business.”

Ohio town to toast forgotten Vietnam veterans

By JAMES HANNAH Associated Press Writer

The war ended in 1973.

The reception given then to veterans — from being ignored to being attacked — is in stark contrast to what soldiers find now when they return home.

Veterans of more recent conflicts feel the pain of their Vietnam-era comrades.

“Every other group seems to have had their parade or their day,” said Scott Hendrickson, 35, who served in Kosovo. “I personally think the American people — everyone included — are looking back on that and realizing they were selfish in those days.

“It’s just been an injustice to thank everyone who’s coming home now and not remember everyone who served.”

The Shelby parade is the brainchild of mortgage banker Bill Staton, whose brother Larry Banks was wounded in action while serving in Vietnam with the Marines.

“It might be 40 years late, but I think it’s a great idea,” Freytag said.

Staton said Vietnam veterans have been thanking him, some in tears. “These guys have wounds, I think, very deep in their soul,” he said.

Our Opinion

Take me out to the … Congress?

We’re not sure, but it’s possible that the last time there was an argument on Capitol Hill about the Yankees, it might have been started by a distinguished Southern gentleman in the waning days before the Civil War. But on Friday in Washington, D.C., our Congress showed us that they’re up to the task of tackling important issues that are vital to all Americans when New York Democratic congressmen took to the House floor to congratulate their home state’s world champions and were heckled by a Utah Republican who suggested there was more important business afoot.

Calling the Yankees logo “a symbol of unity,” Rep. Eliot Engel, who lives in the Bronx, donned a ball cap indoors, in violation of House rules.

“I am going to do it for just two seconds because I think it is really important that I put this on,” said Engel as he placed the cap on his head. “… In Asia, in Africa, in Europe, in the Middle East, wherever we go we see people wearing Yankee hats.”

There are probably a few Yankee caps Utah, too. But apparently Rep. Jason Chaffetz doesn’t own one.

“While the Democrats want to talk baseball, we want to talk about health care,” Chaffetz said. “While the New York Yankees are winning the World Series, the American families are striking out.”

Kudos to Chaffetz for the “Sports Center Top 10” play on words, but the Yankee tribute — while utterly frivolous — really wasn’t worth quarreling over.

Of course, that didn’t stop the partisan politicians from continuing to quarrel.

“Americans celebrate success and I am positive that there is not a single American in this country, except for some in this House, who would think that what we are doing today is wrong,” countered New York Democratic Rep. Jose Serrano.

Nothing quite like a sweeping generalization to make your point, Mr. Serrano.

“Not a single American in this country” would think it is wrong to take up the public’s valuable time with a House-floor celebration of a World Series title?

Care to ask voters from Pennsylvania — that is, Phillies terrority — about that?

Quotable “Sir, they are opening fire over there!”

— A man in uniform, to Pastor Greg Schannep, as a gunman went on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood that killed 13 people and wounded 30.

“I am not prepared to put the lives of British men and women in harm’s way for a government that does not stand up against corruption.”

— British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, warning Afghanistan’s government to take action against corruption, saying he would not risk more British lives there unless it reforms.

“The accord is dead.

There is no sense in deceiving Hondurans.”

— Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, on a U.S.-brokered pact that failed to end a four-month political crisis after a deadline for forming a unity government passed.

Here’s a shot to the beer gut: Government bodies across America are looking to increase taxes on beer.

According to ABC News, states from Connecticut to Arkansas have been “eyeing higher taxes on cigarettes and booze” to make up for budget shortfalls caused by the recession.

Now, I’m not against paying taxes to fund government programs.

I like driving around on the wide-open highways that my tax contributions helped build.

I’m grateful for the government-backed loans that got me through my beer-slugging days at Penn State (to paraphrase comedian Frank Nicotero, I graduated with a 1.2 ... blood-alcohol level).

I’m happy for the government agencies that protect our country, track down criminals across state lines and make sure our food and water are safe.

But higher taxes on beer?

Why not increase taxes on hot dogs and apple pie while we’re at it?

Congress cracked open this Pandora’s can in 1991 — when it doubled the federal

beer tax to $18 a barrel.

Many states have long been on the beer wagon.

In 1936, Pennsylvania levied a “temporary” 10-percent alcohol tax to relieve victims of that year’s Johnstown flood.

Tom Flood Purcell victims still Distributed by aren’t reCagle Cartoons lieved: Not only is the tax still in effect, it has been increased to 18 percent.

At the local level, many cities and counties are looking to raise beer taxes, too.

I take such taxes personally.

My great-grandmother took the edge off Prohibition by installing a distillery in her basement and making beer in her bath tub.

My grandfather helped his community survive the Depression by investing generously in local watering holes.

My father survived the Carter administration by

drinking ice-cold Pabst Blue Ribbon on the back porch with our neighbor, Mr. Bennett.

It is simply un-American to tax beer. And it won’t do much good in any event.

According to records from the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, says ABC, the 1991 federal beer tax “created a slight bump in revenues in 1992, followed by four years of decline, from nearly $3.9 billion to $3.6 billion.”

What’s that, you say?

Higher taxes lead to lower revenues?

In my opinion, beer does our society good — particularly in the midst of a nasty global downturn.

By looking forward to a happy-hour respite each Friday, aren’t workers are more productive during the week? Isn’t their productivity a needed boost to our ailing economy?

Moderate beer consumption can reduce one’s chances of heart and vascular disease — is not beer essential to reducing our health care costs?

I’m counting on beer consumption to solve America’s long-term liabilities.

Consider: Beer causes

people to think others are more attractive than they are and to marry and procreate — I need people marrying and producing kids so they can fund my Social Security payments 20 years down the road.

It isn’t the fault of beer drinkers that government bodies across America spent like drunken sailors when the economy was booming — it’s not our fault they didn’t plan ahead.

It will do nobody any good to make up their shortfall by taxing beer.

If governments really want to raise funds, why not tax the avarice and stupidity that caused our markets to expand and crash?

Why not tax government expansion?

Such taxes would produce a windfall — at the same time they would curb truly “sinful” behavior.

I’ll raise my mug to that.

Letters to the Editor Those who can buy insurance should care about those who can’t To the editor: In a 10-10-09 opinion piece, Daniel B. Kline lamented his health coverage.

The “general manager of New England’s largest hobby and toy store,” Mr. Kline concluded that our president “should be … fixing the health care system for those who can … afford coverage.”

He added “though you seem like nice people (non-paying customers) … I’m mostly worried about me and mine.”

I wondered who those “nice people” were and how many Mr. Kline knew personally.

He referred to them as “our lightly more downtrodden friends.” Lightly?

End of an era that never began It’s all so terribly sad.

To listen to liberals and the White House spin election results, you’d think all was well with the world. Barack Obama is still personally popular! The evil right-wing extremists lost in New York’s 23rd congressional district and a Democrat (who was arguably more conservative than the Republican nominee) won. Virginia was always a red state (no matter what we all said about it turning blue with Obama’s victory), and the election hinged on local issues.

Defeated New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine was personally unpopular (let’s all forget that the White House tried to turn the race into a referendum on Obama’s agenda).

In short, the White House spin is: “There’s nothing to see here, folks. All is well.”

By now, those interested in such things have already heard the rebuttal to these desperate talking points. And there’s no need to rehearse them again.

In fact, what is sad is not the spin war. This happens after every election. The partisans and pundits race for the election results like kids charging the disgorged contents of a pi√±ata, claiming convenient facts like candy and shouting “mine!” It’s always an unseemly process.

No, what’s sad is how far Obama’s defenders have had to move the goalposts just to keep up their morale.

They might be right that the elections don’t mean all that much for Obama and the Democrats. I very much doubt it, but even having the argument represents an enormous defeat for self-styled progressives.

Almost exactly a year ago, liberals insisted that Obama was going to be FDR 2.0 and that this was the dawn of a new progressive era. Countless magazine articles and newspaper columns were dedicated to the idea we were poised for a “new New Deal.” Filmmaker

Spike Lee declared that we will henceforth measure time B.O. (“before Obama”) and A.O. (“after Obama”).

Newsweek became so obsessed with Obama as a redeemer-saint-Jedi reincarnation of both FDR and Lincoln — and also the sexiest man alive — it’s a wonder the Secret Service didn’t issue Jonah a restraining Goldberg order.

Nearly a Tribune Media year later, Services Newsweek’s Nov. 2 cover story is a “survival guide” for liberals who seem on the verge of self-immolation given their disappointment with Obama.

If Obama is the new FDR, it might be instructive to go back and look at the elections in 1933, one year after Roosevelt was elected.

Obviously, the comparison isn’t perfect, but many of the imperfections illuminate why the “Obama revolution” was always phony.

The driving political issue that year was the repeal of Prohibition.

Indeed, historians often overplay the popularity of FDR’s economic program in 1932 and underplay the importance of his promise to let Americans have a beer. Regardless, the people agreed with the White House on both fronts, and supporters of repeal and the New Deal rallied to the polls. In Virginia, Democrats won a massive across-the-board landslide, outpolling the GOP 3-1.

Meanwhile, the most watched race in the country was for New York City mayor. It was a complicated three-way contest.

Republican Fiorello LaGuardia beat the White House’s preferred candidate, Joseph V.

Former Raiders to dress for big game today vs. Bowie St. From STAFF REPORTS

Former Southern Vance standouts Jamere Pugh and Jerald Hunter are no stranger to big games.

The duo helped lead the Raiders to back-to-back deep playoff runs, including a bid in the 2006 2AA state championship in Hunter’s senior season.

On Saturday, the two will

dress for their new team, Fayetteville State, in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Championship in Durham.

Pugh The 7-3 (6-1) Broncos will face Bowie State.

Hunter, an offensive tackle,

and Pugh, a dual-threat quarterback, have seen limited action with FSU this season.

Pugh took snaps in three games this season, and Hunter Hunter played in the Broncos’ Oct. 17 30-12 win over Johnson C. Smith.

Pugh made his mark in Southern Vance lore as the team’s QB in his junior and senior seasons. During the latter year’s postseason run, Pugh passed for nine touchdowns and ran for a few more in the four playoff games.

The Raiders advanced to the 2AA regionals, where they lost 49-19 to eventual state champion Reidsville.

Southern was defeated

by Shelby 27-24 in the state championship the previous year.

Fayetteville State played Bowie State on Sept. 12, and defeated them on the road 3020. Their three losses this year against Catawba, Virginia State and UNC Pembroke have been by a combined 13 points.

Heels, Devils meet in key game today

RAIDERS 39, VIKINGS 16

By AARON BEARD AP Sports Writer

Webb coach Brian Currin. “They don’t make mistakes and when you do, they are going to make you pay for it.”

Trailing 28-0 in the second quarter, the Warriors got back into the game with a long drive that started from their own 36.

Webb drove down the field, giving Gibbons a steady dose of its running duo of quarterback Joel Adcock and tailback Akeem Daniel. Adcock scored on a keeper from 3 yards out and crossed the goal line again for 2 to make it 28-8.

“We felt like we were getting the momentum,” said Currin.

“We had a nice, long drive where

CHAPEL HILL — Thad Lewis takes every snap recognizing that the defense in front of him knows exactly what’s coming. Yet Duke’s senior quarterback and his fleet of receivers keep racking up yards through the air.

It’s a big reason why the Blue Devils are flirting with bowl eligibility. And if North Carolina wants to inch closer to a possible bowl itself, the Tar Heels’ touted defense will have to stop Lewis in Saturday’s rivalry game.

Lewis rolled through October, racking up four straight 300-yard Rivalry in games and directing Chapel Hill the Blue Devils (5-3, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) to three straight victories — their longest streak since Duke at the 1994 North Carolina season 3:30 p.m. that ended with their last bowl game. He’s made seemingly every right read, showed strong pocket presence against the rush and has spread the ball around to receivers Donovan Varner, Austin Kelly and Conner Vernon.

“You get better at what you do every day,” Lewis said. “One thing we know we’re going to do is throw the football, so we try to get better and better at that. It’s not seeing where the receivers are going, it’s knowing where they should be and seeing the defenders and throwing the ball to certain spots. We practice the routes constantly-constantly-constantly, so in the back of your mind during a game you know where they should be.”

The numbers are impressive. Playing in coach David Cutcliffe’s passing attack for a second season, he’s averaging 383 yards passing in the past four games with 10 touchdown passes against just two interceptions — a streak that has his confidence, he admits, “through the roof.”

Cutcliffe, who groomed both Peyton and Eli Manning in college, has noticed Lewis’ leap.

“It takes confidence as a quarterback to throw the ball where there’s no one there, and that’s what you’re doing a lot,” Cutcliffe said. “That’s why I watch an inordinate amount of time from the end zone when I’m studying quarterbacks. I’m watching the stripe on their helmet, I know where their eyes are from behind. That’s how I can tell you that Thad Lewis has improved. He knows what he’s doing in the pocket better.”

But Lewis’ challenge Saturday could be tougher than he’s

Good game, ugly finish Southern downs Northern in Optimist Bowl to help playoff chances

By ERIC S. ROBINSON Dispatch Sports Editor

A game that Southern Vance should celebrate as an important victory may instead be remembered by the unfortunate way it ended.

With under two minutes to play in Friday night’s Optimist Bowl between Southern and Northern Vance in Raider Stadium, the Raiders held a 39-16 lead. Northern had possession near midfield when a play ended near their sideline.

Tempers flared and punches were thrown as players from

both teams joined in a fracas in front of the Viking bench.

The melee didn’t last long, as coaches and law enforcement separated the players, but the game was called with 1:38 left on the clock. Southern players were restrained to their sideline, and Northern players left the field and got on the team bus.

“I’m not entirely sure what Daily Dispatch/ASHLEY STEVEN AYSCUE happened,” said Northern Vance coach Cedric Crudup. “It was very ugly and it was embarrass- Northern Vance assistant coach Terry Lambert and head coach Cedric Crudup talk with Southern Vance assistant coach A.V.

Crusaders too much for Warriors, 35-14

By KELLEN HOLTZMAN Dispatch Sports Writer

OXFORD — Cardinal Gibbons imposed its will from the opening drive, spoiling J.F. Webb’s senior night Friday.

The Crusaders, who clinched the Carolina 3A title last week, marched right down the field, capping a 53-yard drive with a short touchdown from quarterback Doug Burton.

Gibbons (10-1, 5-0) scored again 21 seconds later on a turnover and never took its foot off the throttle, building a 35-8 halftime lead, and hanging on Daily Dispatch/AL CREWS for a 35-14 win.

“Exactly what we saw on film J.F. Webb quarterback Joel Adcock dives in for a 2-point conversion in the was exactly what we got,” said Warriors’ 35-14 loss to Cardinal Gibbons Friday night.

RUSTON, La. — Just when Boise State looked vulnerable, Kellen Moore and the Broncos quickly reminded a national television audience why they’ve been unbeatable.

Moore threw for 354 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 5 Boise State survived a brief scare on the road with a 45-35 victory over upstart Louisiana Tech on Friday night.

Tech had pulled within 30-28 early in the fourth quarter on Dennis Morris’ leaping catch in the corner of the end zone. The Broncos defense buckled down long enough after that for Boise State to pull away with touchdowns on consecutive drives, the second score coming on Jeremy Avery’s 44-yard touchdown run.

Avery finished with 146 yards rushing, while Titus Young caught eight passes for 110 yards, including a 40-yard touchdown for Boise State (9-0, 4-0 Western Athletic Conference).

Trailing 27-7 at halftime, Tech (3-6, 2-4) made a game of it in the third quarter, starting with Josh

Louisiana Tech running back Daniel Porter breaks away from Boise State cornerback Brandyn Thompson in the first half of Friday’s game.

Victorian’s first career touchdown on Moore’s third interception of the season. It was an ill-advised throw under pressure that hung in the air for Victorian, who raced down the sideline and cut inside Moore to cap a 75-yard return.

Boise State responded with a 15-play drive to set up Kyle Brotzman’s third field goal on four tries, then Tech’s offense suddenly came to life. It got its first first down in two quarters

on the way to a 73-yard scoring drive capped by Ross Jenkins’ 9-yard keeper around the right end to make it 30-21.

Tech’s Matt Nelson then caught the Broncos by surprise with an onside kick that he recovered himself. Shortly after, Jenkins found Morris over the middle for 36 yards to the Boise State 12, setting up Jenkins’ third-down pass to Morris, who leaped to catch the ball over defensive back Kyle Wilson’s head.

When Brotzman missed his second field goal of the game on the Broncos’ next drive, the crowd was going wild, and it appeared the Bulldogs just might upset the highest-ranked team ever to play at Joe Aillet Stadium.

Instead, Boise State put its figurative foot down, forcing a quick punt. Then Moore floated a pass down the sideline to Kyle Efaw for his second 40-yard completion of the game, setting up a 12-yard scoring pass to Austin Pettis to make it 38-28.

Soon after, Tech failed to convert a fourth-and-6 on its own 44, setting up Avery’s game-clinching run to make it 45-28 with 4:52 to go. Tech managed a touchdown after that.

Moore’s three TD passes gave him 27 on the season, eclipsing the 25 he had last year as a freshman.

The Broncos have scored no fewer than 45 points in each of their four WAC games this season.

Still, Boise State could have used a more dominant victory in its quest to prove it is more deserving than unbeaten Texas Christian for a Bowl Championship Series bid.

Bell scores 24, Bobcats beat tired Hawks 103-83

By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE — Raja Bell scored 24 points and the Charlotte Bobcats looked nothing like the NBA’s lowest scoring team in beating the roadweary Atlanta Hawks 103-83 on Friday night.

Bell hit 9 of 12 shots, including 5 of 6 from 3-point range, Ronald “Flip” Murray added 15 points in his Charlotte debut, and Gerald Wallace offset a poor shooting night with 18 rebounds in the Bobcats’ second straight win.

The Hawks struggled defensively and saw their two-game winning streak snapped at the end of a difficult trip that also took them to Los Angeles,

Portland and Sacramento. Josh Smith and Jamal Crawford each scored 13 points, but combined to shoot 10 of 27 from the field.

The Hawks fell behind by 21 in the third quarter and scored only 14 points in the fourth.

The Bobcats, who came in averaging an NBA-low 79.8 points, had reached 80 only once in their first four games — a doubleovertime contest. But three days of practice following Monday’s 79-68 win over New Jersey and Murray’s return from a shin injury resulted in an efficient performance.

Crisp ball movement, heady passing and strong drives to the hoop helped Charlotte build a 77-56 lead on Bell’s 3-pointer

midway through the third quarter.

Bell, in his second game back after deciding to put off surgery for a partially torn ligament in his left wrist, hit his first five shots, including two 3-pointers. He stayed hot in the second quarter, hitting a 3 to put Charlotte ahead 59-44.

Murray scored seven points in the final 90 seconds of the third quarter against the team he played for last season, giving Charlotte an outside scoring threat it was desperately missing.

Tyson Chandler, who had 10 points and 10 rebounds in his best game since his offseason trade from New Orleans, had a thunderous alley-oop dunk on a feed from D.J.

Augustin to open the fourth quarter and the Hawks never recovered.

Wallace had 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting, but had another big game on the glass four nights after grabbing a career-high 20 rebounds. Charlotte held a 55-35 rebounding edge.

Bobcats coach Larry Brown called the Hawks “probably the most athletic team in the league” before the game, but fatigue seemed to set in.

They were slow chasing the ball and Charlotte hit 11 of 18 3-pointers.

Atlanta came in averaging 108 points and Crawford had scored 26 and 27 off the bench the last two games, but the Hawks shot 40 percent, including 2 of 16 from 3-point range.

Life Is Sweet wins Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic

By BETH HARRIS AP Racing Writer

ARCADIA, Calif. — Life got sweeter for Life Is Sweet without her daunting stablemate Zenyatta in the Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic. After fruitlessly chasing the undefeated mare in three previous races, Life Is Sweet found the winner’s circle.

Garrett Gomez guided her from last — more than 17 lengths behind — to a 2 1/2-length victory in Friday’s $2 million race at Santa Anita. Life Is Sweet was one of four longshots to win on the opening day of the 26th annual world championships.

“It was exhilarating,” coowner Marty Wygod said.

The 4-year-old filly shares the barn of defending champion Zenyatta, who stayed in her stall resting ahead of Saturday’s $5 million Classic against the boys. She will put her 13-0 winning streak on the line in the 1 1/4-mile race, the richest in North America.

Both horses are trained

by John Shirreffs for different owners.

“I was glad she was able to get it done today,” Shirreffs said. “She really deserves this. She had been coming into this race really great.”

Life Is Sweet ran 1 1-8 miles in 1:48.58 and paid $18.20, $8 and $5 at 8-1 odds.

Mushka returned $12.80 and $6.40, while Music Note was another

length back in third for the second straight year and paid $3.20 to show.

Careless Jewel, the 9-5 wagering favorite, romped to an early nine-length lead before fading to last in the field of eight. Cocoa Beach, second last year, was sixth.

“She locked onto the bridle and went as far as she could as fast as she could. That’s not her,” said Robert Landry, who rode Careless Jewel. “It’s disappointing because she’s a much better filly than she showed.”

American horses won four of the day’s six races, with jockey Julien Leparoux riding two winners on a day that went off without incident to horses or riders.

It was the second consecutive Breeders’ Cup to be run on Santa Anita’s synthetic Pro-Ride surface, which kept stellar filly Rachel Alexandra away.

She was 8 for 8 this year, including three wins over male horses, one of them in the Preakness. But her owner Jess Jackson doesn’t like synthetics, so he shut down the Horse of the Year favorite.

Life Is Sweet had lost to Zenyatta in three of her previous four races.

She improved to 4 for 5 this year in races where Zenyatta wasn’t running, with her only loss to males in the Hollywood Gold Cup. “If you have to be overshadowed by something, that is the right mare to be

overshadowed by,” Wygod said. “She’s a great, great mare.”

Life Is Sweet went from last midway through the final turn to the front with a run on the far outside.

She overcame getting pinched out of the starting gate.

“I’m glad she picked today to show up,” Gomez said. “When you run some tough races like she did, it will take something out of you. I’m glad they were able to get her confidence back and have her prepared.”

It was the sixth win in 15 career starts — and fourth on a synthetic track — for the filly, whose training was disrupted by severe muscle cramping in July and August.

“I knew Life Is Sweet was going to really put in a tremendous run. I told that to Garrett before he got up on her,” Marty Wygod said. “When I saw those fractions, I realized we had a good shot. She did it easily. She really

did.”

Man of Iron opened the card with a thrilling nose victory over 9-year-old gelding Cloudy’s Knight in the $500,000 Marathon, the day’s only race featuring males.

Man of Iron covered 1 3/4 miles in 2:54.11 under John Murtagh, giving Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien his fourth career Breeders’ Cup victory. The 3-yearold paid $14.80 to win in his U.S. debut after running exclusively in Europe.

Rosemary Homeister Jr. barely missed becoming the second woman to ride a Breeders’ Cup winner, losing the photo finish by a bob of her gelding’s head.

Midday gave Europe its other victory, winning the $2 million Filly & Mare Turf by a length and snapping an 0 for 6 streak in the Breeders’ Cup by veteran European trainer Henry Cecil.

Ridden by Thomas Queally, Midday ran 1 1/4 miles in 1:59.14 and paid $6.60 to win.

Gordon earns pole at Texas, his first of season

By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer

FORT WORTH, Texas — Jeff Gordon is suddenly having all kind of success at Texas Motor Speedway, a track where he had never won until earlier this season.

Gordon captured his first pole of the season, waiting until the third-to-last race to extend his streak of 17 consecutive seasons with a pole, with a qualifying lap of 191.117 mph Friday at

the 1 1/2-mile, high-banked Texas track.

“We weren’t waiting,” said Gordon, smiling. “We were working hard every weekend. And you know we’ve been very close. ...

But the fact that we did get it and to do it here at Texas, a track where we have struggled at until recently, this is a great place to do it. We’re focused on ending this season the best we possibly can. “ Only David Pearson and Richard Petty have

longer streaks than Gordon of seasons with a pole.

Pearson went 20 consecutive seasons (1963-82) and Petty had 18 (1960-77).

Gordon is third in points, 192 behind Hendrick teammate Jimmie Johnson, who drives the No. 48 Chevrolet on which Gordon is listed as the owner. Johnson is vying for an unprecedented fourth consecutive season title and needs only to average a 10th-place finish the last three races to get it.

Mark Martin, another Hendrick driver, is second, only eight points ahead of Gordon’s No. 24. Martin qualified seventh and Johnson 12th for Sunday’s race.

Kasey Kahne and Kurt Busch qualified second and third in Dodges, and Tony Stewart was fourth in his No. 14 Chevrolet.

When Gordon won at Texas in April, it broke a 47-race winless drought and gave him a victory at one of the two active tracks

Canes lose another, fall to Leafs 3-2 RALEIGH (AP) — The Toronto Maple Leafs staked their claim to 29th in the NHL. The Carolina Hurricanes, meanwhile, are all alone in last place.

Jason Blake scored on a power play with 8:24 left and Jonas Gustavsson made 34 saves to help the Maple Leafs win for the second time in 14 games this season, 3-2 over the Hurricanes on Friday night in a matchup of the NHL’s two worst teams.

John Mitchell and Nikolai Kulemin also scored for Toronto, which has earned points in their last six games.

“We’re starting to move in the right direction,” Blake said. “Tonight was a good effort. Obviously, Gustavsson made some key saves at key times that were game-changers.

It was a good team effort.”

Brandon Sutter and Sergei Samsonov scored for Carolina, off to the worst start in franchise history. The Hurricanes (2-10-3) are winless in their last 11 games.

“There are no options,” Canes coach Paul Maurice said. “You just have to persevere in these times.”

Blake scored on a wrist shot from the slot. With Rod Brind’Amour off for holding, Blake’s shot ripped off the right post before ricocheting into the net.

“It was a relief,” Blake

said.

Sutter opened the scoring midway through the first period. Brind’Amour kicked the puck toward Sutter, who backhanded it past Gustavsson’s glove from the slot.

The Hurricanes took a two-goal advantage a little less than 10 minutes later when Gustavsson couldn’t control Andrew Alberts’ shot from the point, allowing Samsonov to clean up the rebound in front of the net.

“Whenever they scored, we seemed to sag at that point — maybe feeling sorry for ourselves,” Toronto coach Ron Wilson said. “We have to get mad at some point. I said to the team, ’We’ve only got one

win in 13 games. When’s somebody going to get mad?”’

Hastened, Toronto tied it early in the second.

Mitchell scored first when he slapped a shot from just inside the blue line past Cam Ward, who was screened by Brind’Amour. Some 6 minutes later, Alexei Ponikarovsky set up Kulemin with a nice centering pass from the corner, allowing Kulemin to tip the puck through Ward’s legs.

Gustavsson made a number of tough saves midway through the third period to keep the score tied before preserving Toronto’s lead in the dying seconds with a flurry of tough saves.

“To be down 2-0 and the way that’s gone for us this year — I think that showed a lot of determination,” Wilson said. “I’m proud of the guys that they didn’t give up.”

In addition to last place in the overall standings, Carolina also has scored the fewest goals in the Eastern Conference. It hasn’t scored on its last 25 power plays.

The Hurricanes were without two of their leading scorers in Eric Staal and Ray Whitney. They are sidelined by upperbody injuries.

“Obviously frustrating when you’re not winning,” Sutter said. “We played well, so we have to look at the positives.”

Webb’s $8.5 million option exercised by D-backs

By BOB BAUM AP Sports Writer

PHOENIX — Brandon Webb’s $8.5 million option was exercised Friday by the Arizona Diamondbacks, the team counting on the former Cy Young winner coming back successfully from shoulder surgery.

The 30-year-old righthander was the team’s opening day pitcher last season but did not take the mound again the rest of the year, eventually undergoing surgery on his pitching shoulder on

Aug. 4.

Arizona would have had to pay a $2 million buyout if it had declined the option.

“He’s worked very hard since the surgery,” general manager Josh Byrnes said, “and we’re confident that he’ll return to be a very healthy, effective pitcher.”

A three-time All-Star, Webb won the 2006 NL Cy Young Award and was second in voting the next two years. He is 87-62 with a 3.27 ERA in seven seasons. He ranks second in franchise history to

Randy Johnson in wins, starts (198), innings pitched (1,319 2-3) and strikeouts (1,065).

Webb’s 15 complete games rank behind Johnson and Curt Schilling for the Diamondbacks.

Byrnes and Webb spoke on a conference call shortly after the announcement was made.

Webb said he knew that the Diamondbacks picking up the option “was up in the air I think for awhile and rightfully so.”

The successful surgery and subsequent good

DUKE-UNC, from page 1B faced all season. The Tar Heels (5-3, 1-3) lead the league in both scoring and total defense — they rank seventh nationally in the latter — and boast a defensive front that capable of pressuring Lewis more than past opponents.

“I just want to keep from retreating against them,” Cutcliffe said.

“They make plays, they’re big, they’re fast and very dominant.”

The Tar Heels are coming off their own momentum-builder, a road upset of Virginia Tech in a nationally televised Thursday night game last week. Their defense was its typically stingy self, but the much-maligned offense came through with the kind of steady performance that the Tar Heels have lacked most of the season.

Considering how well

the Blue Devils’ offense is playing, North Carolina’s offense might have to do a little more than usual to help out a defense that will have its hands full with Lewis.

“You can just see evidence every single snap of his growth and development,” North Carolina coach Butch Davis said.

“The decision-making that he’s been doing, the routes — they know how to attack defenses.”

A big game from Lewis could help the Blue Devils end the Tar Heels’ recent dominance in the series.

They’ve won 18 of 19 meetings, with Duke’s only win coming to end the 2003 regular season.

“I think we have the linemen to get there, but I don’t think we need to give him the time,” North Carolina junior safety Deunta Williams said. “I

think we need to hit him up a little bit. ... We’ve got to just see how good he is.”

reports on rehabilitation had made it probable that the team would pick up the option.

“We did want to use the time we had but once we got out of the surgery all signs had been positive,” Byrnes said.

where the four-time series champion had never won.

The other is Homestead, where the season finale is in two weeks.

Gordon also started on the pole last November in Texas, when he finished second. He started second in April before finally winning on his 17th try at the “tricky track” where he has the only two last-place finishes in his 578 career starts.

That is still Gordon’s only win this season.

“I would hardly say we own the place, but you know I think that we really didn’t get enough credit for the first three or four races here. We were the best car at just about every one of those races and we just had crazy weird things happen to us,” Gordon said. “It just started a trend of not good results and they just continued.”

One of those 43rd-place finishes came at Texas in April 2008 before things started getting good there.

WARRIORS, from page 1B we did what we wanted to do. If we had kept up that intensity, we could have got back in that game.”

The Warriors appeared to come up with a big stop on the Crusaders’ following possession.

That’s when Gibbons reached into its bag of tricks.

The Crusaders lined up to punt, but running back Austin Donnald took a direct snap and bolted for the end zone on a 69-yard touchdown to make it 35-8.

“We told them to watch the fake,” said Currin.

“You don’t think they are going to do it and all of a sudden, they do it and it catches you off guard.”

Webb came up with a fumble recovery as well as a forced punt at the end of the quarter, but couldn’t turn that into points.

The Warriors held Gibbons scoreless in the second half and tacked on a score again late in the fourth quarter on another short keeper from Adcock, capping an 82-yard drive.

“That’s the one thing about our kids,” said Currin. “It’s been a tough year, but they don’t give up. They kept fighting in the second half.”

Adcock finished with 51 yards on the ground and was 6-of-13 for 48 yards. Daniel didn’t get into the end zone, but led his team with 130 yards on 25 carries.

When Donnald wasn’t executing fake punts, he was gashing the Warrior defense. The junior back racked up 127 yards in the first half on eight carries.

The Crusaders followed up their opening score with a fumble return for a touchdown.

Andrew Shafer picked up

the loose ball and ran it in for a 35-yard score to up the lead to 14-0.

“Joel went down and kind of got turned over backwards over somebody,” Currin said. “One of their guys just came in and pulled it out.

They capitalized on our mistakes. They did it all night.”

Gibbons scored two more times in the first on big passing plays to bury the Warriors, 28-0 after one.

Burton found receiver Michael Pompliano for an 86-yard score down the left side before the tandem connected again. On the next drive, Burton hit a wide-open Pompliano, who outran the Webb defense for a 74-yard touchdown.

Burton exited midway through the third and finished 6-of-10 for 220 yards.

“I think on the first one, our corner fell down,” said Currin. “The other one, I think our corner bit on covering their tight end and left his man open.”

With the loss, the playoff picture for the Warriors (4-7, 2-3) is up in the air.

“If we had won tonight, we would have guaranteed ourselves to get in, but we couldn’t take care of business,” said Currin.

“So we put it in someone else’s hands. We have to deal with what we get.”

But when and where his team takes the field isn’t a concern for Currin — as long as they’re playing.

“I don’t care who we play. If we execute, we can at least be in every game — no matter who it is.”

RIVALRY, from page 1B didn’t represent Northern Vance very well at all.”

Crudup said he told Southern Athletic Director Ed Wilson that there was no need to play any more football.

“It happened so fast and there was nothing we could do to stop it,” said Crudup.

While Northern’s football season ends, possible suspensions for players may carry over into the winter sports season, or next fall if the players don’t participate in other sports.

For Southern Vance, suspensions could take immediate effect, as players may be deemed ineligible for a playoff game next week.

“It wasn’t a real positive thing,” said Southern coach Mark Perry. “Don’t really know what happened over there, but I guess we’ll kind of review the film and go out here and see whether we’re going to make it in the playoffs.”

The game leading up to the ending was devoid of any major incident, with only a couple of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

Southern relied on the rushing game, punching it in the end zone four times on the ground.

“We ran the ball very effectively tonight,” said Perry.

Raider quarterback James Harris only attempted nine passes, instead handing it off to Nunu Henderson and Tommy Warren.

Henderson led the offense with 120 yards on 14 carries. The 5-foot-5 junior scored one touchdown and converted a 2-point attempt.

“That small package works well. He’s a great kid, and his offensive line did a really good job tonight.”

Northern Vance got on

the board first. When their opening drive stalled in the red zone, senior kicker Joseph Falkner was brought on to push through the 33yard field goal that made it 3-0 with 6:11 left in the first quarter.

Southern responded on their next possession by leaning on Henderson and Warren to cruise past midfield. On second down on the Viking 35, Harris kept it himself and scrambled all the way in for the score. The PAT made it 7-3.

Northern regained the lead early in the second quarter when their drive concluded with a 18-yard pass from John Nelson to Koffi Sneed in the end zone. Sneed hauled in three catches for 75 yards.

Falkner’s PAT attempt was blocked, and the score was 9-7.

A deep play-action pass to Marc Boyd late in the second gave Southern favorable field position again. On the Viking 8, Harris made some moves and scrambled down to the 1. He lost possession, but recovered his fumble inches away from the goal line. Henderson punched it in on the next play, and the score was 13-9 when the 2-point attempt failed. Southern held the lead for the remainder of the night.

The Raiders had everything going their way after the next Northern possession ended with a turnover. Quarterback Jordan Branch, sharing time with Nelson, couldn’t handle the snap, and Raider senior Hykeem Henderson recovered the fumble on the Viking 25.

“Offensively, we actually played pretty well all game with the exception of the

turnover before halftime,” said Crudup. “That was huge.”

Boyd hauled in another long pass — this one a 32-yard strike to the end zone. The pretty spiral was a tad underthrown, but Boyd made the adjustment behind the Northern defender to make the catch.

Henderson converted the 2 with some tough running to make it 21-9 with 1:31 left in the half.

The Vikings drove to midfield on the next drive, but Josh Young halted it with an interception of Branch off a deflection.

Going into the half, the Raiders held a 21-9 lead.

The Raiders scored first in the second half. A scoring drive culminated with a 1-yard Warren run, and it was 27-9 after the missed PAT. Warren finished the night with 63 yards on 10 carries.

Marcus Stuckey put it further out of reach with a 37-yard scoring scamper that made it 33-9 in the waning seconds of the third quarter.

Northern’s final touchdown came on a 15-yard pass from Branch to Eric Jeffries. Falkner’s kick set the score at 33-16 with 8:25 left.

But Southern added the punctuation mark with 3:32 remaining in the game.

Sophomore Miller Allen took a handoff and rumbled 20 yards for the final touchdown.

“We just couldn’t stop them on the ground,” Crudup said.

Rob Reese had a late interception for Southern, and Raider Howard Simmons tallied two sacks.

Entering the season of love As Nov. 1 so graciously came last Sunday, my mind immediately focused on the gathering of family and friends. Once again, the excitement of sharing love through fellowship prompted me to think about the gift of love that God has bestowed upon his people.

“This is the message you heard from the beginning; we should love one another.” I John 3:11 There is no new commandment that Jesus implemented. From the beginning, God framed the world on love. It was the love for mankind that purchased our Pastor Alice salvation, as Jesus passion- Clark Sallins ately went to House of the cross. Love D eliverance was taught through every action and deed that lead up to the cross.

So now, we look around and try to understand what is motivating the actions and deeds of those who seek to devise wicked schemes. The spirit of Cain is once again filling the world with hate. Yes, that spirit that hates so much that it is willing to destroy a precious life that God has given.

As Christians, “What can we do to show the love of Christ?”

As I pondered the question, I thought of the many ways that I had observed love being shown.

My mind focused immediately on a gentleman I met who was caring for his ailing wife. This was not an everyday occurrence, mainly because I knew that the two of them had lived apart for over 25 years. He said to me, “For years I’ve read and studied God’s word. Then it came a time that I had to put what I had learned into action. It is true that she left me for another, but when she needed someone, I couldn’t turn my back on her.”

By the way, he gave me permission to write about this story of undying love in hopes that it might cause someone to turn from hatred to love.

“What was the first step in resolving the old issues?” I asked.

“First I had to forgive her with a heart that knew full well that God had forgiven me of my sins. I love the Lord and to show that love, I had to be willing to love unconditionally as God had shown his love repeatedly to me.”

“Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.” I John 3:18 My mother knew that love was so important that on her dying bed, she reiterated the importance of love for God and humankind. “Love, will cover a multitude of faults. There is nothing in this world that cannot be conquered through the love of God and the love for each other,” she quietly said. There was no better memory that Mother could have left, than the gift of love, a gift that keeps giving and never runs out.

This holiday season (from Thanksgiving through New Year’s), it is my fondest desire that someone who reads this article will learn that love will lift you out of the depths of despair.

Hatred can be transformed when love is applied to the equation.

Love is the glue that holds everything together. So as you gather around for the holiday feast, give love and see how much love you will receive.

The Rev. John Hedgepeth, who grew up in Henderson, now pastors Northwood Temple in Fayetteville, which has roughly 4,000 members representing more than 37 countries and nationalities, making it one of Fayetteville’s largest and most diverse churches.

Saving souls on Ramsey Street

By Jessica De Vault Staff Writer/The Fayetteville Observer

Editor’s note: The following article on Henderson native John Hedgepeth first appeared in The Fayetteville Observer and is reprinted here with that paper’s permission.

FAYETTEVILLE — On a warm Sunday, three singers in white choir robes led the congregation in praise at Northwood Temple Church.

Hundreds stood with hands stretched to the heavens.

As the song ended, the Rev. John Hedgepeth approached the podium and clapped his hands.

He urged the audience to continue in the spiritual exaltation before he embarked on a sermon about Armageddon.

“What I’m saying means nothing,” the senior pastor told his listeners. “But God’s word means everything.”

The parishioners held on to his every word anyway.

More than 40 years ago, when Hedgepeth arrived at Northwood, the church on Ramsey Street had about 100 members. Today, Northwood Temple has roughly 4,000 members representing more than 37 countries and nationalities, making it one of Fayetteville’s largest and most diverse churches.

It is a global ministry that has thrived under the pastor’s leadership, say church members.

“I think the big thing is that he wants the church to be a light to the community,” said Brian Kent, a member of the congregation. “He’s got the church, the school, the thrift store. He’s trying to meet as many of the needs in the community as he can.”

At 6 feet, 4 inches tall, Hedgepeth towers over

After 41 years of leading the church and guiding its growth, Hedgepeth is still in awe of the responsibility he’s been given. many in his congregation, but he doesn’t come across as imposing. His well-coiffed gray hair and cheerful smile are part of a natural warmth that sets many of his members at ease.

In the pulpit, he’s a charismatic and eloquent speaker who peppers his sermons with occasional jokes. Yet there are moments when Hedgepeth’s background as a teacher is apparent, such as when he walks his audience through complex scriptures.

He isn’t much different outside the pulpit. His chipper and good-humored nature shows as he interacts with members after services.

And despite having such a large flock, Hedgepeth insists on connecting with each of his

parishioners — even if it’s just by remembering their birthdays.

“I (used to) visit all the homes, but obviously I can’t now,” he said. “But I will call each person on their birthday. It’s a gargantuan task. I’ve been doing that for 10 years, so they know that I care.

I think people are worth it.”

After 41 years of leading the church and guiding its growth, Hedgepeth is still in awe of the responsibility he’s been given.

“I can’t get over it,” he said, shaking his head incredulously. “I would have never dreamed of it.”

Former Vance County resident receives Order of the Long Leaf Pine Award from Gov. Perdue Rev. Ralph E. Williamson, a former Vance County resident and a 1967 graduate of Henderson Institute, received The Order of the Long Leaf Pine Award on Oct. 17 at his birthday and retirement celebration at the Zion Renaissance Complex in Charlotte. Attending were members of his family; church members from his three pastorates; life-long friends from childhood, high school and college; and colleagues from Mecklenburg County Government. Also attending from the Piedmont Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church were his former presiding elder, Rev. Dr. George McNeely; his current presiding elder, Rev. Dr. Benjamin Morrow, and his wife, Ava; and the Honorable Judge Donnie Hoover and his wife, Josephine.

Entertainment was provided for the 100-plus attendees by Simon and Emma Broom and the Jonesville AME Zion Church Choir. This event was hosted by his daughter, Angels R. Williamson, and his sister, Gail Williamson Hartsfield, both of Raleigh. Toastmasters for the evening were his brother, James I. Williamson Jr., formerly of Henderson, and life-long friend, the Rev. Jimmie L. Johnson Jr., who was accompanied by his wife Sarah, both of Henderson.

The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is among the most prestigious awards presented by the governor of North Carolina. It is presented to outstanding North Carolinians who have contributed more than 30 years of dedicated service to the state of North Carolina. Recipi-

ents are chosen based on contributions to their communities, extra effort in their careers, and many years of service to their organizations. Named for the official state tree, the Order of the Long Leaf Pine confers honorary ambassaWilliamson dor status upon its recipients and grants them the exclusive privilege to propose a ceremonial North Carolina toast.

Williamson is an ordained elder. His pastorates have included Greater Moore’s Chapel in Lincolnton, N.C., and Waddell Chapel in Shelby, N.C. He is the current pastor of Jonesville AME Zion Church in Matthews, N.C. Williamson received his bachelor’s degree from Johnson C. Smith University and his master’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He has studied at Lancaster Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania and is completing his doctorate in Christian leadership at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

Williamson retired with 31 years of ser-

vices from Mecklenburg County Government in 2008, where he developed family-based services, the Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives, and the Community Social Work programs for Mecklenburg County Government. He served as a minister on staff for the Department of Social Services, the first such position in the state of North Carolina, and developed the model for the statewide faith community coordinator position, which was replicated in 18 North Carolina counties.

Williamson worked in family counseling, child protective services, economic development, Christian community development, and community and faith-based initiatives. He is a national certified counselor.

He is the founder of the Barns of Joseph Inc., and has been quoted in Time Magazine, American Enterprise, and USA Today. His work has been referenced in two books, A Limited Partnership: The Politics of Religion, Welfare, and Social Services by Bob Wineburg and Reinvigorating Faith in Communities by Amy Sherman.

He authored the procedure for mobilizing faith communities, which was included in the Center for Public Justice’s (Washington, D.C.) conference publication on working with faith communities.

Williamson enjoys gardening, cooking, travel and story-telling. Two of his favorite biblical studies are the book of Habakkuk and the leadership competencies of Nehemiah. He has one daughter and two grandsons.

RAMSEY STREET, from page one ‘Give me souls …’

Hedgepeth was born in Henderson, about 45 miles north of Raleigh, and grew up with two sisters and a brother. His parents were I.G. Hedgepeth, a prison camp superintendent, and Minnie Hedgepeth, a textile worker who became a private nurse.

Hedgepeth was the only one in his family to enter the ministry. He was a teenager when he was saved on March 12, 1955.

“I was just listening to the word of God, the Holy Spirit. I just happened to be at church and came to that decision,” he recalled. “I had a strong feeling, a strong pull towards the ministry.”

He started immediately, preaching in sanitariums, prisons and homes for the elderly.

“I went to where the people were. I just had a burning desire to change people’s lives, to change the environments around us,” he said.

In 1961, he enrolled at East Carolina University to study English.

That year, he also met Fay Bullard, who became his wife and partner in ministry. Hedgepeth was attending a homecoming event when he laid eyes on Fay, who was a teacher.

“I looked at her and said, ‘That’s the woman I’m going to marry.’ God had it planned that we sit across from each other,” he said.

The two married in 1963 and settled in Fayetteville, where he worked as a teacher at Fayetteville High School — now Terry Sanford — and she taught at McNair Elementary School on Fort Bragg.

John Hedgepeth took a position as pastor at Free Welcome Church in Whiteville, N.C., but he and his wife prayed for a full-time pastoral position. They chose to commute to the Whiteville church, about 65 miles from Fayetteville.

“We stayed in a parishioner’s home all day Sunday,” he said. “We didn’t have baby beds, car seats, seat belts, disposable diapers, yet we made it. And we never missed a single Sunday.”

Fay says that time was demanding, but they knew it would be challenging in the beginning.

“When he first started in ministry, naturally finances were very difficult because you don’t make much money,” she said. “But I always wanted to support him and be with him. And any challenge we had, we always faced everything together.”

The couple remained at Free Welcome for more than two years before their prayers for a full-time ministry were answered. In 1966, Hedgepeth was asked to lead the congregation at Whitley Church in the Goldsboro-Princeton area. Two years later, Hedgepeth got the call to head a small Fayetteville church at Ramsey Street and Andover Road.

The first couple of years at Northwood Temple, membership fluctuated and failed to grow significantly. Hedgepeth became discouraged.

“There was one time when I wanted to die, and I asked God to either give me souls or let me die,” he said. “I prayed earnestly. And God answered my prayer. He didn’t let me die, thank goodness.”

The prayer was the prelude to the church’s exponential growth. In 1971, the congregation doubled from 103 parishioners to 208. It doubled again the following year.

People were getting saved and joining the church each week.

Within two months, the church had to offer two Sunday services to accommodate the worshippers.

By 1975, the church had outgrown its location and had to move to a larger facility next door.

The church built a new building that could seat more than 700 people. Construction continued when the church opened a school, Northwood Temple Academy, in 1979.

In 1985, the church built a second facility that seats 2,500 people.

This is the church’s main sanctuary today.

Church staff members say that Northwood’s mushrooming growth and influence are a testament to the pastor’s unyielding faith and fervent passion to convert nonbelievers.

But Hedgepeth gives the credit to a higher being.

“All I did was say, ‘God, whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it. Lead me, and I’ll follow.’ And he led every step of the way,” Hedgepeth said.

“I never knew where we were going. If I had known, I would have been like, ‘I’m just going to teach English at the school and be a good little boy,’ ” he said, laughing. “I might not have done it, because it would have been too frustrating to think of the things that it takes to grow a church. It has to be done by faith. That’s the heart of it all right there.”

Overseas missions With new church buildings, ministries sprang forth. Among the most widely known programs are the missions — a ministry that was sparked by a trip the Hedgepeths took to Manila and Hong Kong in 1979.

“We saw the multiplicity of people and the dense population, and we knew that we needed to make disciples out of them. …

We saw the need to open up Bible schools,” he said.

The Hedgepeths returned home determined to raise the money needed to keep the Bible schools open. The church donated $1,000

each month for 20 years to fund the endeavor.

Evangelizing on a global scale became Northwood’s cornerstone in 1989.

“I made a commitment that the remainder of my ministry would be in the training and discipling of men to be like Christ, winning the lost,” he said.

In 1998, the church launched Mercy International, a foreign missions charity that sends volunteers across the world. Now mission groups are dispatched up to three times a year, Hedgepeth said.

Locally, the church has the Evangelism Explosion ministry, adopted from a program used at a church in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. More than 450 people have graduated from the 13-week training course that teaches how to tell others about their faith.

“We have people coming in here of all statuses — economical, racial and spiritual. It never matters to me how a man comes; it’s how he lives that counts,” Hedgepeth said.

Looking to the future Hedgepeth ’s legacy shows through the church’s facilities. The branches of Northwood include the Family Life Center, the Spanish Church, the extensive youth drama and music ministries, and the Hebrews Coffee Shop next to the main sanctuary.

Fay, who retired in 2007 as assistant administrator at the academy, serves as the Sunday School teacher for the main sanctuary class.

Members of the church speak fondly of Hedgepeth, often referring to the church’s achievements under his leadership. Ken Dowless, the usher captain, joined Northwood in 1969.

“He’s very friendly, down to

earth,” Dowless said. “I didn’t feel intimidated with him, like with some pastors. He was different.”

And while there are so many church members, Hedgepeth has an uncanny ability to remember each of their names. J.C. Basnight, the superintendent for Northwood Temple Academy, remembers meeting the pastor at a service in 1975.

Basnight returned the following Sunday, and Hedgepeth called his name in the service and encouraged him to sing.

“He remembered me, and that impressed me,” Basnight said. “He remembers names so well. He is a treasured, personal friend, just a prince of pastors.”

Hedgepeth later introduced Basnight to his wife and dedicated his two daughters, both of whom graduated from the Northwood school as valedictorians.

“He’s a man of wisdom and has given me a lot of guidance along the way,” Basnight said. “He’s just an encourager. His sermons are challenging, his prayers lift you.

Many lives have been enriched by his work. He’s just a great spiritual leader, and obviously his ministry shows it.”

The sprawling Northwood campus seems to brim with activity, but Hedgepeth still has more he’d like to accomplish.

“I want to have a million dollars in missions contributions going out in one year. We’re almost at a half a million, so I don’t know. It’ll be hard to do that, unless I get some more years,” he said with a chuckle.

But if it’s God’s will, says his wife, it will no doubt happen.

“I’ve always had confidence in his ability to hear from God and to follow,” she said. “It’s always been his desire — and of course mine, too — to just follow whatever God wanted us to do. And we’ve done that, one step at a time.”

Today’s answer

HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s like the world is your cocktail party.

Circulate and get to know a lot of different people. Your attention to etiquette will affect which opportunities you will be offered.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you want the same thing that everyone wants and you get it, you’ll be envied. Luckily, you’re likely to want something that is very unique and specific to you. So you’ll be celebrated when you finally attain it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Whatever work you can do to get ready for life, take plenty of time to do it. When you are prepared, you’ll have fun. If you can’t, then relax and have fun anyway. Your improvisational skills will amaze you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You appreciate beauty to such an extent that you cannot really enjoy yourself in an ugly environment. That’s why you will feel driven to place yourself around loveliness or create it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What you do, you do for one reason — love. You give of yourself and want nothing in return. You’re here to contribute to the world, not to take whatever you can get from it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be impressed by a new influence and will want to gain its qualities. In order to do this, you’ll be willing to give something up — like hardearned cash. But go slowly. See if you still feel the same way tomorrow.

social rules your mother would follow, but certainly not impossible.

Confidence will come easily to you when you’re sure you’ve done what is right and proper.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You respect your elders even when you don’t agree with them. If you are quiet, you could get through a situation under the radar. Avoiding an argument is more important to you than exerting your own ego.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your awareness of others will be tested. To pass this test, it’s not enough to merely be observant. You must be empathic. What you think of as a trifling matter might be the very thing that means most to someone else.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Life is a trading game. You can’t gain one thing without losing something else, and you never lose without gaining something, either. The trick is in deciding what is most valuable. You have a fantastic handle on that now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Someone knows how to work your nerves. If you feel that your patience is wearing thin, consider that there might be some humor in the situation that you’ve been missing.

Lighten up and give it another look.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You will feel like venturing out, though hopefully not too far, since it’s likely that the thing you seek is right at home. A slight shift in perspective will be all that’s necessary to allow you to see it once again.
