The City Council will have a work session on Monday evening that again includes considering privatizing the municipal sanitation service. This time, Assistant City Manager Frank Frazier and Public Works Director Linda Leyen are scheduled to recommend setting a public comment hearing to coincide with the Jan. 11 council meeting. Additional information will be made available at the work session, but Frazier and Leyen at previous sessions have recommended that the city change from the once-weekly picking up of garbage at residents’ back doors to a once-weekly picking up of garbage at curbside. And Frazier and Leyen recommend going with Waste Industries, which has offered to provide 95-gallon containers for garbage and 65-gallon containers for recyclables. The company would continue the city’s bi-weekly service of picking up recyclables at curbside. The city presently utilizes 18-gallon bins for recyclables, with the recyclables hauled by municipal crews to Sonoco, which is a professional recycling

Residents find little they like in closing eight railroad crossings By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

The N.C. Department of Transportation got both an earful and written feedback about a proposal to eliminate eight railroad crossings. A group of citizens wants to keep the Harris Street crossing open on the northeast side, while another group of citizens wants to keep the St. Matthew’s Street crossing open on the south side. If the Harris Street crossing is done away with, then residents would have to use the Main Street crossing, which would mean driving on narrow pavement and past decrepit structures, Dale Ramsey told the Dispatch.

“It’s a lot of gang activity, drug activity,” Ramsey said, a reference to the David, Lamb and Main streets area. Ramsey lives on a farm to the east and said she uses the Harris crossing because other exits were blocked by the rail line and Bypass U.S. 1. “And we’re almost at the County Fire Department and they’re going to have to come down and go way back,” she said of losing the Harris crossing. Ramsey, when asked by the Dispatch whether she believes NCDOT will hear the concerns of those about losing the Harris crossing, replied, “Who knows?” But, Ramsey, with photographic printouts in hand, added, “They’re not

living over there. I mean, it’s not affecting them. The City Council is not going to listen because they’re not over there listening. If they were over there caring about the neighborhood, it wouldn’t look like this.” Dorothy B. Williams, who lives along Hawkins Drive down from the St. Matthew’s crossing, expressed similar concerns about the impact on access by emergency and rescue personnel. “If the Fire Department can’t get in there, we’re going to get burned up,” Williams said. Williams is 85 and has a neighbor who is past the mid-90s mark. And

company in Raleigh. City Councilwoman Mary Emma Evans on Nov. 9 said she will not support privatization because she believes residents are satisfied with the municipal service and because she believes municipal sanitation workers would lose their jobs. Three residents, including local government watchdog Lewis Edwards, on Nov. 9 also • Related stated their stories, opposition to page 6A the proposed privatization. Edwards called for the municipal government to form a committee to investigate the possibility of Waste Management coming in and partnering with a west coast company, InEnTec, to use Henderson as a site to convert waste into energy. Waste Industries is offering to pick up household garbage and recyclables at curbside for a monthly base price of $8.94 compared to the municipal government’s current price of $9.91 for backdoor pickup of garbage and curbside pickup of recyclables. The price for the city to provide curbside service would increase to $13.46 by Fiscal Year 2014 because the city would have to replace aging trucks and acquire containers and additionally because of the labor and liability costs, Frazier and Leyen have said.

The Vance County Youth Grantmakers, called Teens With Power, has announced the availability of grant funding of up to $1,000 for projects that help improve the overall well-being of Vance, Granville and Warren counties. Special consideration will be given to projects that are led by youth in grades 6-12. Teens With Power was established four years ago to teach youth about philanthropy and to provide Vance County youth the opportunity to make a difference in their community. The group has focused on learning the meaning of philanthropy through interactive sessions focusing on assessing community need, techniques to effectively facilitate meetings, and methods to further develop resources in their own community. Daniel Addington, a member of Teens With Power, was recently profiled in Philanthropy Journal, an on-line publication that assists people in understanding, supporting and working in the nonprofit and philanthropic world. The Philanthropy Journal is a publication of the A.J. Fletcher Foundation in Raleigh. “It feels good to give to people who are giving to others,” Addington said in the article. A senior at Northern Vance High School, Addington is

vice president of the National Honor Society, a member of the Key Club, an a member of the National Technical Honor Society. “The projects are helping people our age,” he said. “In a sense, we’re helping get stuff underway. That’s a very enjoyable process to be part of.” This year the group is starting a Facebook page to get the word out in addition to the more traditional ways. Once the group receives applications, which are due in midDecember, the members of Teens With power will review each one to decide which merit funding, Addington said. Last year, Teens With Power received eight grant requests, Addington said, all of which received either full or partial funding. One grant of $300 funded a recycling program at Southern Vance High School while another provided $550 for the Northern Vance High School Key Club to purchase books for its Book Buddies program, in which members read to children in elementary schools. “There’s a lot of need in Vance County, and you can look at all the negative statistics,” Addington said in the article, referring to dropout rates and the number of teen pregnancies. “But there are also a lot of people who want to help. It’s

encouraging to see people our age who want to grow this community into something better.” Applications for this year’s grants are available at the front desk of the Henderson Family YMCA on Ruin Creek Road or by calling Jeanne Lawson at the N.C. Community Foundation at 1-800-201-9533. Applications are also available at www. nccommunityfoundation.org by clicking on “Affiliates” and then “Vance County/Grants.” A free workshop for those interested in applying for grant funding will be held on Dec. 2 at 6:30 p.m. at the Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Commerce, 414 S. Garnett Street in Henderson. The workshop will allow applicants to ask questions about the application and talk about their ideas for projects. Register by e-mailing jlawson@nccommunityfoundation.org or by calling 1-800201-9533. Teens With Power is a program of the N.C. Community Foundation and a partnership between the Vance County Community Foundation, N.C. Gives, and the Henderson Family YMCA. Training and technical assistance is provided by Leading to Change Inc. as part of the North Carolina Youth Giving Network.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Invoking the name of Edward M. Kennedy, Democrats united Saturday night to push historic health care legislation past a key Senate hurdle over the opposition of Republicans eager to inflict a punishing defeat on President Barack Obama. There was not a vote to spare. The 60-39 vote cleared the way for a bruising, fullscale debate beginning after Thanksgiving on the legislation, which is designed to extend coverage to roughly 31 million who lack it, crack down on insurance company practices that deny or dilute benefits and curtail the growth of spending on medical care nationally. The spectator galleries were full for the unusual Saturday night showdown, and applause broke out briefly when the vote was announced. In a measure of the significance of the moment, senators sat quietly in their seats, standing only when they were called upon to vote. Republican Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio missed the vote.

Extension’s north central district, said, “Mary Helen is a graduate of a leadership training program for new and aspiring county directors, and she has already had an opportunity to use many of the skills and tools acquired during that program. Along with her administrative duties as county director, she will be involved in meeting the community development and family and consumer needs of Vance County residents.” North Carolina Cooperative Extension is an educational agency supported by county governments, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, N.C. State University and North Carolina A&T State University. The Extension service came into being to help carry out the mandate of land grant institutions to carry research-based information into the community. In North Carolina it is headquartered in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at N.C. State University.

EXTENSION, from page one off the Family and Consumer Sciences desk, which she occupied for 14 years, in preparation for her move into the director’s office. In her new position, Jones will oversee the Extension Center’s programs related to agriculture and forestry, family and consumer sciences, 4-H, and community and rural development. “We have a strong ag program,” Jones said, including the Master Gardener Program, the farmers’ market and the forestry group. Family and Consumer Sciences programs provide parenting education and assistance in planning economical and healthful meals. The 4-H Program offers a variety of opportunities for youth, including education, safety, crafts and nutrition activities. In addition, the Extension Center collaborates with numerous other community organizations in a variety of programs. Cuts in funding are limiting the reach of the Extension Service.

GARBAGE, from page one By comparison, the price for Waste Industries to provide the service is projected to be $9.77 by Fiscal 2014, documents show. Waste Industries is proposing a 10-year contract, with two automatic fiveyear renewals. The price would be subject to adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index, which is the measure of the average change over time in the price paid by urban households for a set of consumer goods and services. A city discount for senior citizens would remain in place. And the company has amended details to withdraw an additional $5 proposed charge for backyard service for physically challenged persons and to reduce an additional proposed $5 charge for an extra container to $4. And city officials have repeatedly said that no employees would be issued pink slips. Of 10 municipal sanitation employees who would be impacted should priva-

tization be approved, three are temporary workers. Waste Industries would need three workers with a commercial driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license and the remaining four municipal sanitation workers will be offered a reassignment within the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations or their positions will be eliminated by attrition. Additionally at Monday eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work session, the council is scheduled to take up developing an annexation plan that would include taking in the new Toyota of Henderson dealership off Ruin Creek Road and just off Interstate 85. The dealership had been along Raleigh Road. The annexation plan additionally would take in land along parts of Julia Avenue, Francis Avenue and Old County Home Road. The work session will start at the end of the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short regular session, which is set to start at 6 p.m. Contact the writer at bwest@ hendersondispatch.com.

Shoppers clash on Pa. stores not selling flags By JON RUTTER (Lancaster) Sunday News

QUARRYVILLE, Pa. — Kenneth Burkholder is perplexed. His business, Good’s Store Inc., is one of hundreds of Amish and Mennonite stores that do not sell American flags. Nobody’s singling out the other places. But Good’s is under fire. The sender of a recent mass e-mailing claimed that a young, unnamed Good’s sales clerk “wrinkled her nose” in disdain when quizzed about flag sales. “We don’t sell those here,” the clerk supposedly said, “and we never will.” It’s true that flags aren’t in the general store’s inventory, said Burkholder, the company president. The families that own the stores are Anabaptists, who view the banner primarily as a symbol of military might. But, he said, it’s false to imply that this faith group, which includes Amish and Mennonites, is anti-American. Nor could Good’s find proof that the supposed testy exchange with an employee ever took place, Burkholder added. “We researched it. That was my main concern,” Burkholder emphasized, that the company not appear arrogant. Burkholder acknowledged that the flag “means a lot of different things to different people.” Good’s does not condemn people for buying flags, he said. The company pays its taxes, respects differing viewpoints and supports the community. He said he and his employees are grateful to live

AP Photo/Sunday News, Jeff Ruppenthal

In this Oct. 1 photo, an unidentified customer leaves Good’s Store in Schaefferstown, Pa., about 30 miles east of Harrisburg, Pa., and 60 miles northwest of Philadelphia, which is part of a chain of four general stores in central Pennsylvania drawn into a debate over patriotism versus religious freedom by anonymous mass e-mails calling for boycotts because the stores do not sell U.S. flags. in a country that tolerates religious freedom. But he’s still puzzled by the periodic contention over the flag policy. Anabaptists have embraced nonviolence and distanced themselves from the military, and from iconography, since the 1500s, Burkholder pointed out. Good’s Store in downtown Quarryville, about 50 miles west of Philadelphia and southeast of Harrisburg, is typically placid. Potted mums set off the sturdy brick and masonry storefront. Light traffic proceeds steadily in and out of the parking lot, where a digital sign promotes products in the store. Inside, customers shop among racks of clothing, household items and hardware. “We don’t know the

source” of the message or what triggered it recently, Burkholder said. But the tune was familiar, right down to the urged boycott. Just like they did eight years ago, after the terrorist attacks, some customers complained and vowed to shop elsewhere. But others jumped to support Good’s. Detractors say the business operates on American soil and benefits from the sacrifices of American troops, and so should salute their emblem. “Cowards and hypocrites!” charged one anonymous critic in an online forum hosted by newspapers in nearby Lancaster. Defenders argue that the store has a right to choose its own merchandise precisely because this is a free land.

“There are lots of people who would sell you a flag who would also be tax cheats, sell you inferior goods, try to charge you unfairly, etc.,” wrote another. “With whom would you rather do business? An honest man who’s trying to live by his faith, or someone who will do anything for a buck?” Greg Kerek Sr. took a philosophical view of the debate. The 70-year-old Lancaster man, who has taken part in a local charity race each spring for the past 25 years, is well-known for carrying a large American flag on a pole to the finish line. He’s also a National Guard veteran who described himself as “very up on the military.” As to Good’s ban on flag sales, he added, “I don’t like that mindset at all.” Conversely, he said he’d protect the rights of any “dyed-in-the-wool pacifist.” Steve Johnson, who operates an antiques store in downtown Lancaster, said the flare-up over Good’s raised some interesting questions. “It opens up a discussion that can go all over the place,” he said. “Is our flag a symbol of our national unity ... or is it a military symbol?” Burkholder said the brouhaha is not going to affect the store’s Amish and Mennonite customers. Nor is it going to compel the 51-year-old business to start stocking American flags. All the same, he added, he would prefer that people just stop talking — and writing — about what’s for sale at Good’s. “We’ve been through this a number of years,” Burkholder said.

21 animals shelters fail euthanasia standards RALEIGH — State regulators have started to enforce rules designed to ensure the humane euthanasia of animals at shelters across the state after a twomonth grace period. The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Animal Welfare Section has cited 21 animal shelters since beginning enforcement in September. The new rules took effect in July. Some of the shelters have since come into compliance. The SPCA of Wake County Inc. agreed to a $500 civil penalty for euthanizing animals without a certified

euthanasia technician on staff. The new rules require anyone performing animal euthanasia to undergo training and testing to ensure humane treatment. The SPCA of Wake County now has two CETs on staff. Ten facilities agreed to voluntarily stop using carbon monoxide chambers to euthanize animals because the chambers were either not commercially manufactured or did not meet the standards of the euthanasia rules at the time of inspection. Six facilities were issued a warning letter and agreed to stop using carbon monoxide chamber until an inspec-

tion by the manufacturer, manufacturing representative or industrial hygienist was completed. The facilities have since been inspected and can use the chamber according to humane treatment standards set forth by

the new rules. Four facilities received warning letters for failure to have materials in their policy and procedure manual as required by the new rules, such as emergency procedures.

RALEIGH — As North Carolina families plan their upcoming Thanksgiving dinner, Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler would like them to remember the people who help make it possible: farmers. “Chances are pretty good that when you sit down for your Thanksgiving meal, you’ll be enjoying some food produced right here in North Carolina,” Troxler said. “One out of every seven turkeys cooked at Thanksgiving will come from North Carolina. We also supply enough pork products for one out of every four families in America, and one out of every 13 eggs comes from North Carolina.” In recognition of farm-

ers’ contributions to the state and nation, Gov. Bev Perdue has proclaimed Friday, Nov. 20, as “Thank a Farmer Day.” “As consumers, we all have a lot to be thankful for when it comes to our agricultural community,” Troxler said. “We are fortunate to live in an agriculture-rich state that produces so many different commodities. Our farmers also contribute mightily to our state’s $70 billion agribusiness industry, which plays a critical role in our state’s economy. “The holiday season is the perfect time to support our farmers by visiting farmers markets or looking for N.C. foods at the grocery store.”

Zoning ordinance amendments slated for action by Council By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

The City Council at Monday evening’s short regular session will hold public hearings regarding two Planning Board recommendations to amend the zoning ordinance. One is regarding automotive repair facilities. Specially, this would allow such facilities to obtain a special use permit with conditions, such as the radius from adjacent properties, if such facilities are located in any business district in which such facilities are allowed. And the special use permit would have to be granted by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The Planning Board’s recommendation comes after real estate agent Karen Stainback told the board that an unnamed person in Florida wants to open a new business at the former Coverall Enterprises of Henderson, which is located at 1343 N. Garnett St. and in an aging area between North Beckford Drive and the Interstate 85/Bypass U.S. 158 interchange. The location was once an automobile dealership and was later a tractor business before becoming the site of Coverall, which was in the business of parking roofs for vehicles. The Coverall site has

as a Planning Board member, told the Dispatch that a special committee of the board looked into the matter. While Inscoe said the board is not supposed to be site specific, he said when asked by the Dispatch that the problem is that, even though the North Garnett location is in a business district, there is a residence behind the former Coverall building. The other problem is the utilities meter was removed from the unoccupied location, meaning the property is no longer grandfathered in, Inscoe said. The other public hearing on Monday evening is regarding allowing off-premise advertising in the B-4 zoning district by a special use permit. This would mean businesses on properties back off of busy thoroughfares in the district could seek Board of Adjustment approval to have pylon type signage more closely along the roadway for motorists’ visibility, Inscoe said. B-4 districts allow for professional, retail and service uses adjacent to major and minor thoroughfares undergoing transition from residential to a more commercial atmosphere.

Other items Among other items of business at Monday evening’s short regular City Council session, the council is scheduled to: • Present retiring Senior Police Officer Daniel Currin III his badge and sidearm, which is standard procedure when an officer steps aside from the force. Currin’s retirement takes effect on Dec. 1. • Consider authorizing extension of a lease agreement with Archer Western Contractors of Morrisville for continuing to use the former public works building at 120 Ramsey St. off North Beckford Drive and adjacent to Interstate 85. The city is to receive $600 a month from the company. • Formally approve the results of the Oct. 6 municipal election. Re-elected Mayor Pete O’Geary, seven of the reelected council members and Councilwoman-elect Sara Coffey are set to be sworn in at the Dec. 14 council meeting. been vacant for at least two years and has degenerated into an eyesore, as evidenced by broken windows, Stainback said.

N.C. GOP decides to keep primaries open RALEIGH (AP) — Republican primaries in North Carolina will continue to be open to unaffiliated voters. GOP spokesman Jordan Shaw says the party’s Executive Committee overwhelmingly rejected a resolution that would only allow Republicans to choose the party’s nominees. Voters unaffiliated with a party have been helping pick who runs on the GOP Miss your paper? Call before 11 a.m. 436-2800

ticket since 1988. Republicans pushing the change argued party members should be the ones picking their nominees because independents are more inclined to back moderates.

But many state leaders worried changing the rules could damage Republican chances to win elections in 2010. Unaffiliated voters have been allowed in Democratic primaries since 1996.

Quality Coverage

from the most trusted health insurer in North Carolina

Sunday, November 22, 2009

RAILROAD, from page one Williams, when asked by the Dispatch for clarity about whether she lives in a gang-infested neighborhood, replied, “You got that right.” Councilwoman-elect Sara Coffey was helping Williams and her neighbors fill out the feedback forms. “I’m going to make it my special project to try to help these ladies,” Coffey added. NCDOT received the feedback Tuesday evening at a workshop in the City Council Chambers of City Hall. As Coffey was helping Williams and her neighbors, Elissa Yount, a Chavasse Avenue resident and a former councilwoman, was at the opposite end of the chambers talking to NCDOT officials. Yount told the Dispatch she wants completion of improvements to the “missing link,” reference to the part of Chavasse from Raleigh Road to Williams Street. Yount said state Rep. Jim Crawford, D-Granville and who is a businessman in Henderson, got funding to improve the part of Chavasse from Raleigh to Williams, with the plan including constructing a sidewalk. Although fences and utility poles have been moved back from Chavasse, the ditches remain and the sidewalk is yet to be built. “And now they’re saying it’s going to have to be tied in to the high-speed rail,” Yount said of her talk with NCDOT officials. “But, I contend it would still be an advantageous project to do,” Yount said. Yount said the problem

is many people who live in the area southeast of the city center have to walk along Chavasse to get to the Post Office and food stores and pharmacies. And Yount said she believes truck drivers are using the Chavasse railroad crossing to go through Henderson to the Walmart distribution center off Vanco Mill Road. In addition to the Harris and St. Matthew’s crossings, NCDOT is proposing closing crossings at Spring, Orange, Winder, Rock Spring and Railroad streets and Carolyn Court. “You’ve got redundant crossings. That’s what it boils down to,” Mark Freeman, a consultant for NCDOT, told the Dispatch. And, Freeman told questioning residents, “A lot of these are very, very low-volume crossings.” Freeman said the feedback will be presented to the city’s government. Yount, who writes pieces for the Internet blog Home in Henderson, later posted on-line remarks saying, “I saw this as a pre-emptive strike to get the first dirty work of closing crossings out of the way and thus pave a smoother road for the high-speed rail effort to steam through.” President Obama in April called for the U.S. to move quickly toward having a high-speed rail system nationwide to ease vehicle bottlenecks and snarls, to help clean up the environment and to conserve fuel. Obama allocated $8 billion of the more than $780 billion federal economic stimulus package for a start on setting up corridors, including the

The Annual Turkey Ball

proposed one from Washington to Richmond, Va., through the Carolinas and into Atlanta. Meantime, Yount on Home in Henderson additionally is saying she believes the city “dropped the ball” on the Chavasse project by failing to acquire enough right of way and failing to put political muscle behind the project. City Councilman Michael Inscoe, when asked late last week by the Dispatch about what is going on with Chavasse, said his understanding is the funding has been held up at the state level. And Inscoe said his understanding is the state is unsure of the future configuration of Chavasse at the railroad crossing and does not want to spend money “that would basically be wasted.” “But, we could still do even a portion of that up to the rail,” Inscoe said. And Inscoe, when asked about Ramsey’s comments about the council being unfeeling, replied, “Oh, certainly we care what the citizens have to say. If they have some concerns, they need to come to the council and voice those concerns.” Contact the writer at bwest@ hendersondispatch.com.

Ex-Air Force nurse acquitted of killings SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A military judge in Texas has found Capt. Michael Fontana, a former Air Force nurse, accused of killing three terminally ill patients not guilty of murder. He was accused of administering excessive dosages of painkillers to speed the patients’ deaths. Presiding over the court martial Saturday, Col. William Burd said Fontana was not guilty on all counts. Speaking after the ruling, Fontana said he never regetted the treatment he gave and that he hopes he can return to nursing. Fontana has been in the Air Force since 2006 and served a tour in Iraq in 2007. He worked as an intensive care nurse at Wilford Hall, which primarily serves military personnel and retirees but provides emergency and trauma care to some civilians.

Man gets life in prison for woman’s fatal scare CHARLOTTE (AP) — A man will spend the rest of his life in prison after he was found guilty in what prosecutors said was a case of scaring a 79-yearold North Carolina woman to death. Multiple media outlets report a federal jury found Larry Whitfield not guilty of murder Friday in the death of Mary Parnell last year. But they did find him guilty of causing her death by kidnapping her, and that carries an automatic life sentence. Whitfield, 21, was looking for somewhere to hide after a failed bank robbery attempt in Gastonia in September 2008 when he broke into Parnell’s home, prosecutors said. Whitfield never touched the grandmother, ordering her to go sit in a chair in her bedroom. She suffered a heart attack and begged Whitfield to call for help, authorities said. Prosecutors said Whitfield was on the phone with his nursing student girlfriend when Parnell

stopped breathing. She told him to call 911, but he didn’t, authorities said. “He committed this crime with callous indifference. My mother-in-law had a heart attack right in front of this guy, and he didn’t even have the decency to call an ambulance. All he cared about was himself, and he can think about that for the rest of his life in jail,” David Hains, Parnell’s son-in-law, told WCNC-TV in Charlotte. Whitfield, who had no criminal record, and an accomplice armed themselves with semiautomatic rifles and decided to rob a bank in Gastonia. But bank workers saw them coming and locked their doors. The pair then crashed their getaway car and split up as they tried to run away. The accomplice, Quanterrious McCoy, also was arrested a short time later. He accepted a plea deal and is awaiting sentencing that could range from five years to life in prison.

Store clerk killing gets N.C. man life sentence GREENSBORO (AP) — A North Carolina man will spend the rest of his life in prison after he was convicted of killing a Greensboro convenience store clerk in front of his 13-year-old son. The News & Record of Greensboro reports a jury deliberated two hours Friday. The jury found 20-year-old Raytheon Williams guilty of first-degree murder. One of Williams’ codefendants testified he

talked about shooting 50-year-old Satwinder Singh during the store robbery to get respect in his gang. Authorities say three men entered the store in November 2006. Prosecutors offered a plea deal to 21-year-old Arthur Burton III in exchange for testimony and he will spend at least 21 years in prison. A murder charge is still pending against 18-yearold Shawn McIlvain.

The teen’s mother says she last saw her daughter Wednesday morning at their home in Williamston, several miles from where her body was found. Searchers discovered her purse, glasses, wallets and keys along a road not far from her home Friday morning.

Sheryl Crow takes up wild horse cause RENO, Nev. (AP) — Sheryl Crow is joining the call for a halt to federal government roundups of wild horses in the West, branding them as inhumane and unnecessary. The Grammy Awardwinning singer is asking President Barack Obama and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to scrap a proposed roundup of 2,500 mustangs in northern Nevada. Crow, who campaigned for Obama last year and

performed at his inauguration, opposes Salazar’s plan to move thousands of wild horses to preserves in the Midwest and East to protect horse herds and the rangelands that support them. U.S. Bureau of Land Management officials say they plan to remove 11,500 wild horses and burros from the range over each of the next three years because booming numbers of the animals are damaging the range.

USS Virginia headed to Maine shipyard KITTERY, Maine (AP) — Senators from Maine and New Hampshire say the arrival of a new submarine at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard will usher in a new era for the shipyard team. The USS Virginia is expected to arrive at the

shipyard next October and remain there for maintenance work through April 2012. In a joint statement, Sens. Judd Gregg, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins and Jeanne Shaheen called the submarine the most modern and innovative underwater warship on patrol today. They said the work done at the shipyard will set the standard for others to follow. The USS Virginia’s current homeport is Groton, Conn. Moving its 155 officers and crew is expected to boost the economy in Portsmouth, N.H., and York County, Maine, by about $10 million.

Ruling lets N.C. sheriff keep job LINCOLNTON (AP) — A judge’s ruling means a North Carolina sheriff facing obstruction of justice

charges can keep his job for now. Multiple media outlets reported that Superior Court Judge Richard Boner on Friday refused to suspend Sheriff Tim Daugherty immediately, saying there is no proof he isn’t performing his duties. The all-Republican County Commission asked the county attorney to make the request against the sheriff, who is a Democrat. Daugherty has been indicted on two counts of felony obstruction of justice. He is accused of covering up a fixed drunken-driving investigation. His trial is set for January. Miss your paper? Call before 11 a.m. 436-2800

Our Opinion

How do we sound this fire alarm? We could barely believe the news early Friday morning as the fire chief explained that a house fire had claimed the life of a third young Henderson resident and that the blaze was caused by the same culprit in the previous week’s fatal fire. Another electrical space heater was to blame. Fredrick Harris, 22, of 705 Jefferson St. was unconscious but alive when fire department personnel found him Thursday night. He was later pronounced dead in the hospital’s emergency room. Agents of the State Bureau of Investigation, the Henderson Police Department and the Henderson Fire Department found a space heater that they believed was too close to bedding in a bedroom, and it appeared that the bedding material caught fire. Just 10 days earlier, fire had claimed the lives of Abria Lewis, 12, and Joshua Lewis, 1, who lived at 132 S. Elizabeth St. The same task force decided a floor space heater was too close to combustible plastic bags of clothing and was the probable cause of that fire. The concern showed in Henderson Fire Chief Danny Wilkerson’s face as he appealed for some means of getting the word out to people that these small space heaters have proven they are deadly if not used properly. So, how do we spread the word to alert the owners of these heaters? We attempted to do our part on Saturday by giving front-page placement to a list of safety tips. We’ll run down the list again in case some of you missed it: • The heater should be at least three feet away from drapes, furniture, bedding, bags and any other flammable materials (we’ll call it the three-foot rule); • The heater needs to be on a level surface away from an area where someone might bump it or knock it over; • The heater should never be left unattended or running while you sleep (if you leave the room, turn it off; if you think you might fall asleep, turn it off); • If you use an extension cord with it, you must make sure it’s a heavy-duty one (if the cord gets hot, it’s poses a danger); • Keep the electric heater away from water; and • Make sure — if you must purchase one — that you buy a heater that has been tested and labeled by a nationally recognized testing company. Even though electric space heaters do not have an open flame, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission notes that the heating elements of some of them are hot enough to ignite nearby combustibles. The CPSC suggests that you check the objects near the space heater periodically to see if they feel hot. Help us spread this word. We’re asking you, our readers, to do your part by asking the people you know if they have these heaters. And, if they do, ask them to consider replacing them with something safer or, at the very least, tell them about the threefoot rule. Three fire deaths are three deaths too many. Please help sound this fire alarm.

We are worried, here in the newspaper business (motto: “What, YOU never make misstakes?”). We’re hearing that you readers have lost your faith in us. Polls show that, in terms of public trust, the news media now rank lower than used-car salespeople, kidnappers, tapeworms, Hitler and airline flight announcements. (We are still slightly ahead of lawyers.) Of course, these poll results were reported by the news media, so they could be wrong. In fact, there might not actually have been any polls; it’s possible that some reporter made the whole “media credibility” story up. But I don’t think so. I think the public is genuinely unhappy with us. Lately, when I tell people I work for a newspaper, I’ve detected the subtle signs of disapproval — the dirty looks, the snide remarks, the severed animal heads in my bed. How did we get into this situation? Without pointing the finger of blame at any one institution, I would say it is entirely the fault of The New York Times. For many years, the Times was considered a great newspaper, capable — as no other paper was — of publishing a Sunday edition the size of a Buick Riviera. But then a Times reporter was caught

faking datelines. For example, he wrote a story with a West Virginia dateline, in which he said that the father of Private Jessica Lynch, quote, “choked up as he stood on his porch here overlooking the French Alps.” This turned out to be incorrect, and the Times published an 843,000Dave word, Barry 58-pound Tribune Media correction, Services concluding that “from his porch, Mr. Lynch would actually have been looking UP at the French Alps.” But it was too late: The barn door of trust had been left open, and the horse of newspaper credibility had run off, leaving behind the doots of reader doubt. Tragically, because of this one “bad apple,” the public is losing faith in ALL newspapers. So in an effort to restore my profession’s reputation, today I want to tackle, “headon,” some of the hard questions that you, our readers, are asking about our business: Q: Where do editorials come from?

A: We don’t know. Every morning, we find a batch of unsigned but firmly held opinions lying on our doorstep, kind of like abandoned babies. We publish them in the hope that somebody, somewhere, will adopt them. Q: Who picks the comics? A: Dick Cheney. Q: How come when I read a newspaper story on a topic I’m familiar with, it always contains errors? A: This requires a complex team effort, which I will explain by putting key terms in capital letters: First, the REPORTER gathers information by interviewing PEOPLE and trying to write down what they say, getting approximately 35 percent of it right. The REPORTER then writes a STORY, which goes to an EDITOR, who bitterly resents the REPORTER because the REPORTER gets to go outside sometimes, whereas the EDITOR is stuck in the building eating NEWSPAPER CAFETERIA “FOOD” that was originally developed by construction-industry researchers as a substitute for PLYWOOD. The EDITOR, following journalism tradition, decides that the REPORTER has put the real point of the story in the 14th paragraph, which the EDITOR then attempts to

Letters Many heroes deserve consideration in naming of school To the editor: Now that all the budding politicians on the school board have gotten their name in the papers sagely debating the exact color of the wall paint, the process of naming the new school has begun. (Of course, more important matters, like providing a good education in Vance County, must be deferred.) Naming the new school reminds me of the unfortunate debate which led to the bypass having a split name (Tiny Broadwick at one end and Martin Luther King Jr. at the other end). What I am about to say is not meant to show any disrespect to Dr. King; were he alive today I believe he would support my position. Every city, town, county, village, lonely crossroads, and even Unincorporated Whatevers in this nation has a Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Street, Avenue, Lane, Road, Path or whatever. These are a source of pride to the black community and (behind their backs) a source of ridicule by others. To those who refuse to allow the black community dignity, the overuse of this one name provides an opportunity for one more nasty remark. Where are other black heroes? As I stated, I do not wish to show disrespect to one of the great Americans of the 20th Century, but when one names a street (or in the case to come, a school) after a person it is

not just to honor that person, but also to educate future generations with veneration for what that person stood for. Martin Luther King Jr. was not the only black hero of this nation. The black community needs to put forward one of their other heroes. Why not Doris Miller? Who was she? Well, she was a HE. (Whatever possessed that mother to give the poor kid that name is beyond me.) Well, Doris received the Navy Cross for extreme heroism during the attack on Pearl Harbor. It has often been said in the U.S. military (and not just by blacks) that he should have received the Medal of Honor. But one can’t have the first Medal of Honor of World War II go to a black, can one? So the Navy Cross must do. Why not Chappie James. He was one of the three best Air Force generals in all of USAF history. He was not only a superb fighter pilot, but a good manager and a great commanding officer. I did over 30 years Air Force commissioned service and am also an aviation historian, so my opinion on him should count for something. Or perhaps Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. — he was the leader of the Tuskegee Airmen and the first USAF black general (Benjamin O. Davis Sr. was the first Army black general). Or Colin Powell. Sorry if being retired military I have emphasized our servicemen too much. One should also consider Thurgood Marshall, the Supreme Court justice whose earlier civil rights career was brilliant. Or George Washington Carver. Or

Harriet Tubman. Or Frederick Douglass. There are dozens of others as well, in every period of American history. From Crispus Attucks — the free black who was the first casualty of the American Revolution — to the black astronauts of today, the black community can take pride in their contribution to America. If King were alive today he would use his dream to inspire all American kids with a knowledge of heroes of all our diverse ethnic groups. So, although I am not black, let me suggest that their nomination should go to the native North Carolinian who flew with the Tuskegee Airmen and spoke here a year or two ago before a civic group. He is of our state and he persevered both in war and in a time of segregation. He would be an inspiration to Vance County’s school children. (And yes, I have to admit I’ve forgotten his name, but not his accomplishments). As for a nomination from the white community, I believe the same standards must apply. A North Carolinian who showed courage and character in some phase of our society should be nominated. Perhaps the school will have a hyphenated name; perhaps it will have the name of a local who has earned respect from all portions of our county. Perhaps all this may be avoided by simply naming the school for the area it is in or for a local item of pride. But personally I would prefer a hero of North Carolina whose accomplishments made him or her acceptable to all segments of Vance County, and a North Carolinian of the Tuskegee

move using the “cut and paste command,” which results in the story disappearing into ANOTHER DIMENSION, partly because the EDITOR, like most journalists, has the mechanical aptitude of a RUTABAGA, but also because the NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM has a few “bugs” as a result of being installed by a low-bid VENDOR whose previous experience consisted of servicing WHACK-A-MOLE GAMES. So the REPORTER and the EDITOR, who now hate each other even more than they already did, hastily slap a story together from memory, then turn it over to a GRAPHIC DESIGN PERSON who cannot actually read but is a wizard on the APPLE MACINTOSH, and who will cut any remaining accurate sentences out of the story to make room on the page for a colorful, “reader-friendly” CHART, which was actually supposed to illustrate a story in an entirely different SECTION. Yes, it’s a lot of work, but we do it night after night, with story after story, all so that when you, the reader, go out to your front yard to get your newspaper, it’s not there. Check your roof, OK? (c) 2009 The Miami Herald Distributed by Tribune Media Services, Inc.

Airmen would fill the bill quite nicely. Col. H. Larry Elman (USAF-ret.) Dabney EDITOR’S NOTE: We were unable to find a civic club presentation in our archives; however, Leonard “Hawk” Hunter and Wilson Eagleson, two surviving Tuskegee Airmen, delivered speeches to Henderson Middle School students on Dec. 6, 2005. Eagleson was identified in a Dec. 7 article as a Henderson Institute alumnus (class of 1938).

When will we seek the mercy of God? To the editor: The problems we are facing in this nation today are overwhelming. There is so much confusion and deception in the government it is hard to decide which way is the right way. We know, as believers, we should pray for our nation and it’s leaders. But, where do we begin? So often we say “God Bless America” without taking into account the sinful condition of our nation. Ask yourself, can we really ask for blessings? Maybe we should ask God what He thinks. II Chronicles 7:14: “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their lands.” Please see LETTERS, page 11A

LETTERS, from page ten “If My people will” is God’s condition requiring those of us who bear His name to be obedient to His word. God expects nothing from the atheist, agnostics, People for the American Way, the ACLU or all the other organizations working so hard to remove God from our society. My question is: if they don’t believe in God, what are they so afraid of? The Christians, the believers, in this country bear responsibility for allowing these godless organizations to rob us of our constitutional right of “Freedom Of Religion.” It is not freedom from religion. The scripture in II Chronicles tells us to humble ourselves. That means to have a proper sense of one’s worth, not proud or arrogant. Christians have mistakenly thought we are to be humble before man. I believe it means we are to be humble before God — always relying on His power as we face our enemies. Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10-18). He has given us His armor, a sword, shield and a helmet, everything we need to fight the enemies of Christ. There is no armor for the back, which

The one I found most interesting, rather her answer, was, when asked how she felt about President Obama being awarded the Nobel Peace prize, she responded, something to the effect of “A bit premature with only him being in the White House for two weeks....” Well, Mrs. Palin, as most everyone knows, except obviously you, the Nobel Peace prize has nothing to do with political accomplishments. That’s the reason a non-political panel makes the selection. It is only individuals like yourself that have attempted to connect the two (which is a bit of an insult to the Nobel committee, stature and legacy) to further personal objectives. I try always to judge a person on his or her merit. Sarah Palin makes that extremely challenging for each time she “speaks” she delivers further awareness of her ineptitude in a world where “near genius” is nearly required to accomplish anything! Being a “rogue incompetent” is likely worse than being a “known incompetent.” I — and I hope will most Americans — pass on this one.

tells me God never intends for us to retreat. I think Christians have been “playing church.” It isn’t the preacher’s job to pray. It is the whole body of Christ’s purpose and obligation to pray. There must be intense corporate prayer for repentance, forgiveness and restoration of the church in America. The last of the three words is “then.” If we, as His people, fulfill the requirements set down in His word, “then” God says I will hear the prayer of my people. This word is not a request or a suggestion, it is a command. Will we answer the call to turn from our wicked ways and seek the mercy of God? Time will tell. The question is do we have time? Barbara Parker Macon

Palin difficult to regard with ‘merit’ To the editor: I watched with a bit of interest the recent interview with Sarah Palin on “Good Morning America” where she answered a host of questions.

Healthy Moments A Women’s Heart Murmur There is a heart abnormality that affects about one person in ten— more commonly in women. This is called “mitral valve prolapse”, or MVP. This causes a slight murmur with each heart beat. MVP is not normally a serious problem. A few people may have symptoms, although most do not even know they have it. It can slightly increase the chance of an infection in the heart valves, so you may have to take antibiotics as a preventive measure before going to the dentist or having surgery. Usually, a person will not have to restrict activities because of mitral valve prolapse.

Do I need to go the emergency room if I am only a little sick? No. The emergency room should be used for people who are very sick. You should not go to the emergency room if you are only mildly ill. If you have the emergency warning signs of flu sickness, you should go to the emergency room. If you get sick with flu symptoms and are at high risk of flu complications or you are concerned about your illness, call your health care provider for advice. If you go to the emergency room and you are not sick with the flu, you may catch it from people who do have it.

Senator: May be more troubling e-mails from Hasan By ANNE GEARAN PAMELA HESS Associated Press Writers and

WASHINGTON — The government intercepted at least 18 e-mails between the alleged Fort Hood gunman and a radical Muslim cleric, and a key senator says there could be more communications that might have tipped off law enforcement or military officials. Federal investigators say they intercepted the messages between the suspect, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, and Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical AmerHasan ican-born cleric now in hiding in Yemen. They were passed along to two Joint Terrorism Task Force cells led by the FBI, but a senior defense official said no one at the Defense Department knew about the messages until after the shootings. The

official spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss intelligence procedures. Sen. Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat, said Friday after a briefing from Pentagon and Army officials that his committee will investigate how those and other e-mails involving Hasan were handled and why the U.S. military was not made aware of them before the Nov. 5 shooting. Levin said his committee is focused on determining whether the Defense Department’s representative on the terrorism task force acted appropriately and effectively. Levin also said he considers Hasan’s shooting spree, which killed 13 and wounded more than 30, an act of terrorism. “There are some who are reluctant to call it terrorism but there is significant evidence that it is. I’m not at all uneasy saying it sure looks like that,” he said. He said his committee will also look into whether military members have the ability to report suspicious

behavior evinced by colleagues. The Washington Post, citing two anonymous sources, reported Saturday that in the months leading up to the attacks Hasan stepped up his contacts with al-Awlaki to discuss transferring money. One of the sources told the Post the two men considered how to transfer funds abroad without coming to the attention of law enforcers. FBI and military officials have provided differing versions of why Hasan’s critical e-mails to al-Awlaki and others did not reach Army investigators before the shooting. FBI officials have said a military investigator on the task force saw the e-mails and looked up Hasan’s record, but finding nothing particularly worrisome, the investigator neither sought nor got permission to pass the e-mails on to other military officials. But the senior defense official has countered that the rules of the task force

prevented that military representative from passing the records on without approval from other members of the task force. The Pentagon may reconsider rules governing participation in extremist organizations that some lawmakers say appear outdated and too narrow in light of the shooting rampage at the Army post in Texas. The Pentagon wrote regulations on “dissident and protest activities” in response to soldier participation in skinhead and other racially motivated hate groups. The current rules were written in 1996 and last updated in 2003. The rules prohibit membership or participation in “organizations that espouse supremacist causes,” seek to discriminate based on race, religion or other factors or advocate force or violence. Commanders can investigate and can discipline or fire people who “actively participate in such groups.” The rules also cover the distribution and possession

of “printed materials,” and gatherings held outside military posts. The language appears to loosely cover some of the activity law enforcement sources have ascribed to Hasan. But it is geared toward ra-

cially motivated groups and toward preventing public espousal of hateful ideology, such as attendance at a rally or the recruitment of new members. The language also applies most directly to materials and communication in the pre-Internet age.

By JOEDY McCREARY AP Sports Writer

DURHAM — Freshman Andre Dawkins scored a seasonhigh 20 points and No. 9 Duke matched a school record with 18 3-pointers in a 104-67 romp against Radford on Saturday. Nolan Smith added 20 points and Jon Scheyer had 18 for the Blue Devils (4-0). They overwhelmed Radford during a first half in which they shot 50 percent, matched the school record with 13 3s in a half and put this one away with a huge run. After that, the only question was whether they’d launch enough 3s to reach the school record set in 2000 and matched against Monmouth in the first round of the 2001 NCAA tournament. They finished 18 for 32 from long range and shot 48.6 percent overall. Artsiom Parakhouski had 23 points and 14 rebounds in his third straight 20-point game for the Highlanders (2-1). The schedule will get tougher in a hurry for Duke, which heads to Madison Square Garden to face Arizona State — and Herb Sendek, who spent a decade coaching at rival North Carolina State — in the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off.

Heels’ D gets it done

Williams gets three picks, UNC starts strong in win By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer

BOSTON — Deunta Williams grabbed his third interception of the game and headed for the end zone, weaving 39 yards through the Boston College offense to the 6 inch-line. North Carolina already had two defensive touchdowns in the game, and Williams wanted to celebrate his 21st birthday with a third. “It was crazy at first. It was like a dream out there,” Williams said after the Tar Heels forced six turnovers to beat Boston College 31-13. “When we were up 21-0, everybody on defense was trying to get greedy; everybody was trying to get a turnover. We were just all out there trying to get turnovers and make plays.” Boston College had an outside shot at winning the ACC Atlantic Division title, but that disappeared with a flurry of first-quarter turnovers by quarterback Dave Shinskie

E.J. Wilson hit Shinskie to force a fumble, and lineman Cam Thomas picked it up and ran 20 yards for a touchdown. Two plays later, Shinskie threw an interception that Burney returned for 30 yards

as Carolina scored three times in a span of 2 minutes, 19 seconds to open a 21-point lead. The Tar Heels (7-4, 4-3) held on to win their fourth consecutive game after opening the conference season 0-3. “We’re peaking right now,” Please see HEELS, page 3B

Miami rallies late to beat Duke, 34-16 By TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer

MIAMI — Jacory Harris threw for 348 yards and two touchdowns, Darryl Sharpton capped his final home game with a 73-yard interception return for a score, and No. 21 Miami staved off a Duke challenge for the fourth straight year in a 34-16 win Saturday. Damien Berry’s 2-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter opened the floodgates for Miami (8-3, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference). Leonard Hankerson had career bests of eight catches and 143 yards — including a 44yard score — for the Hurricanes, who scored the final 24 points to keep hope alive for their first 10-win season since 2003. Thaddeus Lewis finished 20 of 37 for 303 yards for Duke (5-6,

3-4), taking over the school’s all-time lead in passing yardage with 9,678. Donovan Varner caught eight passes for a careerhigh 165 yards and a touchdown for the Blue Devils, who have now lost 55 straight away from home against ranked opponents, dating to October 1971. Duke took a 16-10 lead on Will Snyderwine’s third field goal of the game, a 26-yarder early in the third quarter. After that, it was all Miami. Duke was eliminated from bowl contention. The Blue Devils were seeking their first postseason appearance since 1994. Berry — with the sparse crowd announced at 38,200 chanting his name throughout AP Photo/Alan Diaz the drive — scored with 13:41 left to cap a 15-play, 90-yard Miami defensive back Vaughn Telemaque breaks up a pass intended for Duke wide receiver Donovan Varner during the fourth quarter of Please see RALLY, page 3B Saturday’s game.

Walt helps with a study, wins another tournament I felt very fortunate to be invited to assist fisheries biologist Vic Dicenzo of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and Norm Cowder of the Buggs Island Striper Club with the ongoing study of the striper population on Buggs Island Lake this past weekend. This involved weighing and measuring stripers that were captured in gill nets up in the mid-lake area. The VDGIF has done this three times each year since the 1970s and Walt the data they Bowen have accuOn the Water mulated is Weekly very valuable when determining the creel limits and stocking rates each year. They caught around 70 stripers, 20 or so big crappies, a 4.06-pound largemouth bass, several white perch, shad, and some giant catfish in the three nets they set out the night before. Typically there are six nets set, but due to the windy conditions, they were only able to set up three. In fact, one of the boats was swamped while attempting to set the second set of three, and they had to paddle it to shore and be towed back in by a Virginia Wildlife Department officer after the motor conked out. While the gill nets do kill the fish, the data gathered has value that more than offsets that loss of a miniscule percentage of the fish population. Each striper was weighed and measured, and then the otolith bones were removed for later examination under a microscope, which allows exact aging so they can determine the rate of growth and other health data. They allowed us to keep some of the fish, so I spent two hours Saturday afternoon cleaning stripers, the big bass, some crappie and catfish. These will be good to pull out of the freezer during the long winter ahead. Then on Sunday I won a small tournament on Kerr Lake. It was a four-fish limit event, and I had the top weight and big fish for the second week in a row. After fishing close to the Ivy Hill ramp for a little over an hour first thing due to a heavy fog, I ran down to the Nutbush Bridge area around 8:30 a.m. or so with no fish in my creel. By 9:30 a.m., I had culled seven times. All these fish came off the same rocky bank on chartreuse crank baits with brown backs in about 8 feet of water. I probably landed over 50 keepers, the biggest being 4.10 pounds. Was it luck that I won two weeks in a row, or maybe because I have spent nearly every weekend, holiday and vacation day for the last 13 years fishing somewhere, usually for bass? I guess even a blind hog Please see FISHING, page 3B

Kerr-Vance’s boys’ and girls’ vasity basketball teams suffered losses at Granville Central Friday night. The boys were defeated 70-63. They trailed the Panthers by double digits in the second half, and fought back to take the

lead with four minutes to go. But free throw shooting hurt the Spartans. They were 5-for-20 from the line. Tyler Bolton, Cameron Capell and Devonne Smith each had 11 points for KVA. D.J. Chavis scored 16 for the Panthers.

“We did a lot off good things to build on for the rest of the season,” said Spartan coach Dave Carrier, whose team fell to 1-1 on the young season. Shameka Valentine scored 21 for the Spartan girls, but Kelva Atkins’ 33 was enough for Granville Central to get the 68-45 win.

Amanda Wilson scored 10 for KVA, and Lauren Rainey had eight. After a slow start, the Spartans began to play better in the second and third quarters. KVA coach Eric Johnson said his team seemed to run out of gas in the fourth. The girls are now 0-2 on the season.

Harris’ three scores lead East Carolina past UAB 37-21 GREENVILLE (AP) — Dwayne Harris caught eight passes for 108 yard and two touchdowns, including a kickoff return for a score, to lead East Carolina to a 37-21 win over Alabama-Birmingham on Saturday. Harris, who finished with 254 all-purpose yards, caught touchdowns passes of 23 and 39 yards. He also scored on a 99yard kickoff return in the fourth quarter. The Pirates (7-4, 6-1 Conference USA) can clinch the conference East Division title with a win next weekend over Southern Mississippi. Patrick Pinkney, who went 20-for-25, passed for 250 yards and three touchdowns for East

Carolina. Darryl Freeney had seven catches for 118 yards, including a 59-yard touchdown catch late in the third. Joe Webb was 19-for27 for 247 yards passing, including two fourthquarter touchdowns and an interception for the Blazers (5-6, 4-3), who had their three-game winning streak snapped even though they outgained the Pirates 520-325. Webb also had 132 yards rushing in the losing effort. The Pirates built a 23-3 lead by forcing two turnovers and outplaying the Blazers on third and fourth down. Harris’ 23-yard touchdown catch on the first possession of the game

came on third and 10, but the Blazers failed to convert any of their three third downs in the first half. UAB also missed a 47-yard field goal in the first quarter, and Webb was stopped for no gain on fourth and 1 from the East Carolina 19 in the second quarter. The Pirates took over possession and quickly stalled at their own 34. But UAB’s Patrick Bastien was called for roughing East Carolina punter Matt Dodge on fourth down, extending the drive. UAB’s defense held its ground again, but Dodge surprised the Blazers by running for 19 yards on fourth and 6 from the UAB 47 to extend the drive one more time. After UAB stopped East

Carolina again, Ben Hartman kicked a 37-yard field goal to give the Pirates a 20-3 lead. East Carolina extended that advantage when Hartman kicked a 25-yard field goal as time expired in the first half. Safety Van Eskridge set up the score, intercepting a pass by Webb and returning it 90 yards to the UAB 8 with 5 seconds remaining in the half. The Blazers pulled within two scores at 30-14 after Webb’s 16yard touchdown pass to Rashaud Slaughter on the first play of the fourth quarter, but Harris answered immediately with his third kickoff return for a touchdown of the season to keep UAB at bay.

ACC HOOPS

Pack fends off Governors’ upset bid N.C. State 66, Austin Peay 59 DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Tracy Smith’s three-point play in the final minute helped North Carolina State thwart a late comeback bid by Austin Peay and escape with a 66-59 victory on Saturday night. Smith hadn’t been a factor in the second half because of foul trouble at the Glenn Wilkes Classic. But after the Wolfpack (3-0) saw a 16-point halftime lead trimmed to four with 1:06 remaining, the junior forward scored on a putback and also hit the free throw after he was fouled on the shot. The Governors (1-3) trailed 37-21 at halftime

before nearly pulling off a repeat of their win at Akron a week ago in which they came back from 15 down in the second half. Smith finished with 16 points and Dennis Horner scored 15 for N.C. State. Smith, one of two returning starters from last season, had 11 points and five rebounds in the first half, but picked up his third foul 6 minutes into the second half.

Virginia 76, Oral Roberts 55 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Mike Scott scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and Sylven Landesberg added 14 points to lead Virginia

to a 76-55 win over Oral Roberts in the final statesside game of the Cancun Challenge on Saturday. On Tuesday in Cancun, Mexico, Virginia (3-1) plays Stanford. Oral Roberts (2-2) takes on Sam Houston State. Midway through the second half, Virginia, which led by six at halftime, pulled away with an 11-4 run. Assane Sene, who was suspended for the Cavaliers first three games, scored five points during the spurt. Sene, a 7-footer, finished with eight points and seven rebounds.

Florida St. 89, Mercer 50 MACON, Ga. (AP) —

Deividas Dulkys scored 14 points to lead Florida State to an 89-50 win over Mercer on Saturday. Dulkys shot 4-for-7 from 3-point range for the Seminoles (3-0). Chris Singleton added 14 rebounds, while Solomon Alabi, Xavier Gibson and Jordan Demercy scored 12 points each. The Seminoles outscored Mercer 40-18 in the first half, while holding the Bears to 13.5 percent shooting (5-for-37). Mercer was also outscored in the second half, by the margin of 49-32. The Bears (3-2) were led by James Florence, who scored 14 points. Daniel Emerson chipped in with 12 rebounds.

Gavin and Sanders help VCU upset No. 17 Oklahoma RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — When Jeff Capel left Virginia Commonwealth to become the head coach at Oklahoma four years ago, his contract mandated that he bring his new team back to Richmond to play the Rams. Capel received a very warm welcome Saturday night, and then the Rams showed him that things are just fine without him. Jay Gavin scored 20 points, Larry Sanders 17 and Virginia Commonwealth never trailed in

an 82-69 upset of No. 17 Oklahoma on Saturday night. Gavin, a sophomore guard, wasn’t fazed by 18 professional scouts in the stands. “I wasn’t really worried about it,” said Gavin. “Our intensity level was through the roof tonight. We concentrated on defense for 40 minutes.” Leading by one early on, the Rams (2-1) used a 20-8 spurt to take control of the game. VCU hit six straight 3-pointers during the run,

including two by Gavin. “Congrats to VCU,” said Capel, who was 79-41 as the Rams’ coach. “They shot the heck out of the ball. We let our lack of making shots determine how the game went. “I knew our team wasn’t as good as everyone had us. This was a great game for us. I didn’t like the result but we’ll grow from this game.” Oklahoma cut its deficit to 31-22 with 8:08 left before going without a field goal for just over 6

minutes. VCU extended its advantage to 40-23 with 4:35 left on two free throws by T.J. Gwynn. The Sooners (1-2) cut the lead to 10 at the half, but could get no closer in the second half. Oklahoma went through a drought in the second half hitting just two field goals over a 10:42 span before Tony Crocker’s 3-pointer made it 75-65 with 1:54 left. The Rams missed only one free throw over the final 23 seconds to end any hopes of a Sooners rally.

Holmgren interested in meeting with Browns CLEVELAND (AP) — Former Seattle and Green Bay coach Mike Holmgren is interested in working for the struggling Cleveland Browns. Holmgren said on his weekly radio show on Seattle’s KJR that he has not yet spoken to Browns owner Randy Lerner, who is looking for a “serious, credible leader” football authority to run his struggling team. However, Holmgren did indicate he would welcome the chance to take on a rebuilding project like the 1-8 Browns. “It takes a tremendous amount of energy, but there is a certain appeal there,” the 61-year-old Holmgren. “There’s something in my personality, too, that taking on those types of projects, that

kind of gets me going. But there’s a lot of work to do. “The important thing, going into any organization is that all of the principles, all of the decision makers are pointed in the same direction, with the same motives, the same desires, and then you have a chance.” Holmgren was Seattle’s GM and coach for four seasons. He stepped down as coach after last season to spend more time with his family. Last week, Browns Hall of Famer Jim Brown said Lerner had met with “one of the great football minds in this country,” and hinted that person may have been Holmgren. Brown is a senior adviser with the Browns. Cleveland coach Eric Mangini, struggling in

his first season with the Browns, refused to comment on reports that Holmgren was on Lerner’s wish list. “Randy’s really handling that, so I’ll let him

DEVILS, from page 1B the school. His lineup returns only two guards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Scheyer and Smith â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who played significant minutes last season. Instead, with the Highlanders throwing a zone defense at the Blue Devils, they simply went back to their long-range ways. Duke hit seven 3s during its game-breaking run midway through the first half, with Smith and Scheyer hitting three apiece. Scheyer capped the burst and pushed the lead into the 20s with a 3 from the left wing that made it 43-22 with about 6 1/2 minutes left. By the time Dawkins made his fourth 3 of the half, stretching the lead to 24 with 1:20 before the break, the Cameron Crazies bowed toward him and chanted his name. Kyle Singler scored 13 points and Miles Plumlee added 12 points and 11 rebounds for Duke, which made 16 of 17 free throws. Phillip Martin scored 12 points and freshman Blake Smith added 11, but Lynch-Flohr had just eight on 3-of-13 shooting for Radford, which fell to 0-17 against ACC teams.

road winning streak snapped in emphatic fashion, Radford was held to one field goal during a 6 1/2-minute stretch of the first half. At the other end of the floor, it allowed Duke to shoot over its zone defense. The Blue Devils, who won their first three games by an average of nearly 34 points, cruised to their NCAA-record 72nd straight nonconference win at Cameron Indoor Stadium and earned their 32nd straight home win against an unranked team. But this game probably wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supposed to be quite this easy. Radford returned four starters from last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NCAA tournament team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the 6-foot-11 Parakhouski, the Big Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preseason player of the year, and 6-8 Joey Lynch-Flohr.

Legace saves 20 shots in Canes’ 3-1 win RALEIGH — Tuomo Ruutu and Jussi Jokinen scored second-period goals, and Manny Legace made 20 saves to help the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-1 on Saturday night. Chad LaRose added a goal with 4:23 remaining in the game. While Carolina remains near the bottom of the NHL standings, the Hurricanes have won three of their last four and have points in their last five games.

Martin St. Louis scored for the Lightning, and Mike Smith made 24 saves. Tampa Bay entered the game 4-0-3 in its previous seven. The winner came late in the second period when Jokinen, stationed in front of the net, tipped Joe Corvo’s slow-moving shot through Smith’s legs. The Hurricanes had tied the score on the power play earlier in the period when Joni Pitkanen made a nice play to keep the puck in at

the blue line. Pitkanen then fed Ray Whitney, who sent a perfect cross-ice pass to Ruutu. Ruutu one-timed it past Smith’s glove for his ninth point in his last six games. Tampa Bay opened the scoring late in the first. With Tom Kostopoulos in the penalty box, Kurtis Foster took a shot from the point that deflected off the stick of Carolina’s Matt Cullen. Off-balance, Legace couldn’t control the rebound, and the puck

Tampa Bay, which played Thursday night in Anaheim before taking a cross-country flight Friday, couldn’t muster many scoring chances the rest of the way, allowing the Hurricanes to take control. Carolina has won eight consecutive games at home against the Lightning. It was the first time in 15 games Carolina hadn’t allowed at least three goals.

Ohio St. beats Michigan again; Ole Miss wins wild one over LSU No. 1 Florida 62, Fla. International 3 GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Tim Tebow accounted for three touchdowns and Brandon Spikes returned an interception for a score, and No. 1 Florida beat Florida International 62-3 on Saturday to extend the nation’s longest winning streak to 21 games. Florida improved to 11-0 for just the second time in school history and needs two more wins — against Florida State and Alabama — to earn a shot at repeating as national champion. The Gators scored touchdowns on eight of 10 offensive possessions against FIU (3-8), and the only scoreless drives came when Caleb Sturgis missed a 52yard field goal attempt in the first quarter and when Florida ran out the clock in the final seconds. No. 2 Alabama 45, Chattanooga 0 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Mark Ingram ran for 102 yards and two long touchdowns in the first half, and the Crimson Tide raced to a 35-0 halftime lead in an easy tuneup. That enabled many of the starters to take a break in the second half against the Mocs (6-5), although Ingram and the Tide still managed to turn in a few highlight-reel plays. Ingram ran for touchdowns of 25 and 40 yards, and Javier Arenas set the SEC career record with his seventh punt return for a touchdown for the Tide (11-0). Julio Jones caught a 44-yard pass and scored on a 19-yarder from Greg McElroy. No. 3 Texas 51, Kansas 20 AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Colt McCoy set an NCAA record with his 43rd career victory as a starter, passing for 396 yards as No. 3 Texas wrapped up the Big 12 South title with a 51-20 victory Saturday night over a Kansas and embattled coach Mark Mangino. McCoy is 43-7 in his career, breaking the wins record he shared with former Georgia quarterback David Greene (2001-2004). Texas (11-0, 7-0) secured its first division title since 2005, with a Thanksgiving game at rival Texas A&M left to play before the Big 12 championship on Dec. 5. McCoy threw four touchdown passes, two to James Kirkendoll. Kansas (5-6, 1-6) dropped its sixth straight, compounding a miserable week and season for Mangino. University officials have confirmed they are investigating Mangino over allegations of emotional and verbal abuse of players, fueling speculation he may be fired. No. 4 TCU 45, Wyoming 10 LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) — Matthew Tucker and Joseph Turner each ran for two touchdowns, and the Horned Frogs improved to 11-0 for the first time since 1938.

Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli passes for a touchdown opposite Arizona’s Xavier Kelley in the first half of Saturday’s game. The game finished just as The Dispatch went to press early Sunday morning. The Ducks won 44-41 in double overtime, meaning their matchup with rival Oregon State on Dec. 3 will be for a Rose Bowl berth . thick of BCS contention and clinches at least a share of the conference crown. The last time the Horned Frogs won their first 11 games, they capped the season with a win over Carnegie Tech to finish No. 1 in the AP poll. Wyoming (5-6, 3-4) had just 52 yards of total offense in the second half.

No. 9 Ohio St. 21, Michigan 10 ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Tate Forcier threw four interceptions and fumbled in his end zone, and the Buckeyes took advantage to win their sixth straight in the series. Ohio State (10-2, 7-1) also clinched an outright Big Ten championship and will play in the Rose Bowl with a five-game winning streak. The Wolverines started the season 4-0 and ended it 5-7. The flop came after a school-record nine-loss season in Rich Rodriguez’s debut year with college football’s winningest program. Michigan has endured consecutive losing years for the first time since the 1962-63 seasons. Mississippi 25, No. 10 LSU 23 OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Dexter McCluster ran for 148 yards and threw for a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, before the Rebels survived a lastditch drive by the Tigers. After recovering an onside kick, LSU’s Jordan Jefferson heaved a pass to Terrance Tolliver that he caught at the Ole Miss 6 with one second left. The Tigers had no timeouts and didn’t send the field goal unit onto the field, and the clock expired as they tried to spike the ball. The win likely gives Ole Miss (8-3, 4-3) second place in the SEC West with a game left to play, and an edge over LSU (8-3, 4-3) when bowl invitations are handed out. No. 13 Penn State 42, Michigan State 14 EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Daryll Clark passed for 310 yards and four touchdowns, and the Nittany Lions will now see whether it did enough to earn a BCS bowl bid.

California 34, No. 14 Stanford 28 STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Shane Vereen ran for a career-high 193 yards and three touchdowns on 42 carries and Mike Mohamed intercepted a pass from Andrew Luck at the 3 with less than 2 minutes left as California spoiled No. 14 Stanford’s Rose Bowl hopes with a 34-28 victory in the Big Game on Saturday. What was billed as the biggest Big Game in years lived up to the pregame hype, with Stanford’s Heisman Trophy contender Toby Gerhart rushing for 136 yards, four touchdowns and carrying defenders on a 29-yard reception that set Stanford (7-4, 6-3) up at the Cal 13 with less than 2 minutes left. Luck then threw an incompletion on first down and was intercepted by Mohamed on second with 1:36 to go, setting off a wild celebration on the Cal sideline. The Golden Bears (8-3, 5-3 Pac-10) won the coveted Axe for the seventh time in eight years. No. 15 Iowa 12, Minnesota 0 IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — James Vandenberg threw for 117 yards, fellow freshman Brandon Wegher ran for a touchdown, and the Hawkeyes kept alive their hopes for a BCS bowl berth. The victory gave Iowa (10-2, 6-2 Big Ten) doubledigit wins for the first time since 2004, along with Floyd of Rosedale — a bronze pig awarded to the winner of the border rivalry — for the eighth time in nine tries. Adam Weber was 14 of 40 for 153 yards for the Gophers (6-6, 3-5), who scored just seven points in road games against Penn State, Ohio State and the Hawkeyes. Northwestern 33, No. 17 Wisconsin 31 EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Mike Kafka hit Andrew Brewer with two first-half touchdown passes and Brian Peters and Jordan Mabin made key defensive plays late for Northwestern. The Wildcats (8-4, 5-3 Big Ten) improved their bowl prospects with a third straight win, and fans swarmed Ryan Field after Mabin intercepted Scott Tolzien with 42 seconds to go. Stefan Demos kicked four field goals for the Wildcats, while David Gilreath had a 68-yard punt return for at ouchdown for the Badgers (8-3, 5-3). No. 19 BYU 38, Air Force 21 PROVO, Utah (AP) — Max Hall threw for five touchdowns and set a school record with his 30th career win, and the Cougars won

their sixth straight over Air Force. Hall was 33 for 45 for 377 yards, breaking the mark he shared with 1990 Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer. Harvey Unga also became the rushing leader at BYU (9-2, 5-1 Mountain West) after going for 67 yards. He has 3,268 for his career. Jared Tew ran for 88 yards for the Falcons (7-5, 5-3).

No. 20 Oregon St. 42, Washington St. 10 PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Oregon State scored touchdowns its first three possessions, and rolled up 567 yards of total offense in the Pac-10 blowout. Jacquizz Rodgers rushed for 165 yards and two touchdowns as Oregon State (8-3, 6-2) won its fourth straight game and sixth of the past seven. The Cougars (1-10, 0-8) lost their eighth straight. Kevin Lopina, making his first start at quarterback since being benched after the second game, completed 15 of 32 for 133 yards. No. 23 Utah 38, San Diego State 7 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Eddie Wide ran for 84 yards and two touchdowns, and the Utes scored all their points in the first half to bounce back from a loss to TCU. Utah (9-2, 6-1 MWC) won its 17th straight at home, extending the third-longest home winning streak in the nation behind Oklahoma (28) and Boise State (24). Freshman Jordan Wynn completed 14 of 28 passes for 198 yards and a touchdown. Ryan Lindley was 17 of 37 for 207 yards for San Diego State (4-7, 2-5). No. 24 Houston 55, Memphis 14 HOUSTON (AP) — Case Keenum threw for 405 yards and five touchdowns in just more than two quarters, breaking David Klingler’s school record with 94 career touchdown tosses. Keenum was replaced by Cotton Turner after an 18-yard pass to L.J. Castile put Houston (9-2, 5-2 Conference USA) ahead 49-14 early in the third quarter. Memphis (2-9, 1-6) was led by Curtis Steele, who had 160 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Syracuse 31, No. 25 Rutgers 13 SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Greg Paulus had 142 yards passing and the Syracuse defense racked up nine sacks to match a school record. The Orange (4-7, 1-5 Big East) jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. Antwon Bailey scored on a 14-yard run and Delone Carter added a 5-yard run. Syracuse outgained Rutgers 259 to 82 in the first half. Syracuse sacked Tom Savage five times in the half, two of which came in the final drive for the Scarlet Knights (7-3, 2-3).

North Carolina State’s head coach Tom O’Brien reacts at the end of Saturday’s game against Virginia Tech at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va.

Williams, Hokies run past Pack, 38-10 BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Ryan Williams ran for 120 yards and four touchdowns and helped make sure No. 16 Virginia Tech would send its 21 seniors out of Lane Stadium with a win one last time as the Hokies beat North Carolina State 38-10 Saturday. The Hokies (8-3, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) also got a careerbest day from wide receiver Jarrett Boykin, who caught six passes for 164 yards and a touchdown, and from linebacker Cody Grimm, who forced two fumbles in his final home game. N.C. State (4-7, 1-6) lost its second straight and for the sixth time in seven games. The Wolfpack allowed at least 30 points for the eighth game in a row, and struggled on offense, turning the ball over four times and allowing five sacks of Russell Wilson. The victory was Virginia Tech’s third in a row, keeping them on pace for a sixth consecutive 10-win season provided they also win at Virginia next Saturday and then in a bowl game. Williams, who carried 32 times, came up with the play of the day in the third quarter. On a second-and-6 from the NC State 19, he went around the left side and was grabbed from behind by safety Earl Wolff at about the 12. Wolff seemed to maintain a hold on Williams’ jersey the rest of the way, but the tailback dragged him all the way into the end zone. On their next possession, the Hokies drove 97 yards in just six plays, with Tyrod Taylor hitting Boykin for 26 yards early in the drive, and then again for 38 yards and the touchdowns. Before the day was over, the Wolfpack replaced Wilson with Mike Glennon, the younger brother of former Hokies quarterback Sean Glennon. On his first snap, Glennon dropped back and was promptly drilled by reserve linebacker Mark Muncey for an 8-yard sack. The Hokies started fast, even winning the coin flip for the first time in 11 games. They elected to kick, and on the first play, Grimm sacked Wilson, forced him to fumble and recovered it at the Wolfpack 34. Seven plays later,

Matt Waldron kicked a 26-yard field goal. Grimm forced another fumble on N.C. State’s third play, a pass completion to Darrell Davis, and Stephan Virgil recovered, setting the Hokies up at the Wolfpack 25. This time it set up Williams’ 4-yard TD run to make it 10-0 after just 7:05. Grimm forced Toney Baker to fumble on N.C. State’s fourth play, but the Wolfpack got the ball back this time. Wilson, a native of Richmond, then led them on an 81-yard drive, capped by his 20yard TD throw to a wide open Owen Spencer. It was all downhill for the visitors after that.

No. 18 Clemson 34, Virginia 21 CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — C.J. Spiller scored a touchdown Saturday in his final game at Death Valley and No. 18 Clemson beat Virginia 34-21 on the day the Tigers wrapped up their first trip to the Atlantic Coast Conference title game. The Tigers (8-3, 6-2 ACC) won their sixth straight game, but had the Atlantic Division wrapped up as they kicked off thanks to North Carolina’s 31-13 victory against Boston College. Clemson will face Coastal division winner Georgia Tech in two weeks at Tampa, Fla. Spiller had a 4-yard touchdown run and set the ACC’s single-season all-purpose yardage mark, surpassing the 2,059 of Virginia’s Thomas Jones in 1999. Florida St. 29, Maryland 26 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Freshman Lonnie Pryor ran for a pair of touchdowns, including a 3-yard run with 32 seconds left, and Florida State beat Maryland 29-26 on Saturday to become bowl eligible for the 28th straight year. Pryor’s game-winning score was set up by a 48-yard punt return by freshman Greg Reid that gave the Seminoles the ball at the Maryland 44 with 1:35 left.

Busch became the first Nationwide champ to win the season finale since Sam Ard in 1983. “It hasn’t been done in a long time, so I guess you know how hard it is to do for someone to come out here and win the final race of the year,” Busch said. Busch’s championship helped him get his swagger back and eased the sting from his failure to qualify for the Chase for the championship in the Sprint Cup series. Busch grabbed the Nationwide championship flag and wildly waved it from the top of his No. 18 Toyota. He high-fived every member of his JGR crew and seemed emotional talking about how much it meant to have his parents and brother at the race. “It’s cool,” Busch said. “This win here means a lot for Joe Gibbs Racing.” Team owner Joe Gibbs led the Joe Gibbs Racing team in a short prayer shortly after Busch won the race.

Hip-hop gospel artist Trey Andale Williams, seated, Sean Simmonds, center, and Terverius Black, right, in a studio in Harvest, Ala. Black and Simmonds started Xist Worldwide Record Label, a Christian-themed entertainment company, three years ago. Williams will appear in a film that is being produced by Simmonds and Black.

The Word … with a beat

Christian rappers work to bring ‘holy hip-hop’ to the masses By LUCAS L. JOHNSON II Associated Press Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Terverius Black believes in hip-hop gospel so much he sold his first home to get the money needed to start his Christian-themed entertainment company. It was a risky move, but the 34-yearold entrepreneur believes the company’s diversity, which is producing music, a film, a reality television show and a gospel cruise, will help boost a struggling genre of Christian music. Secular hip-hop used radio as a launching pad, but holy hip-hop gets little play on regular hip-hop stations and nearly none on gospel or Christian radio. “It’s tough, but we’ve got to get a little more creative,” said Black, who started Huntsville, Ala.-based Xist (pronounced “exist”) Worldwide Record Label three years ago with partner Sean Simmonds. Both men point to hip-hop moguls like Sean “Diddy” Combs, Jay-Z and Russell Simmons, who succeeded branching outside the music industry. Even though their message is faith-based, Black and Simmonds believe they can find the same success. “We’re trying to create our own blueprint for gospel, but at the same time, make it so that it’s respected across the board, and can be followed,” said Simmonds, 32. Hip-hop gospel has been around nearly two decades, but many followers say it didn’t start getting recognized until a few years ago. So far this year, there have been more than 500,000 CD and digital sales of hip-hop gospel, according to the Christian Music Trade Association, which operates Christian SoundScan. Supporters also point to an increasing number of hip-hop gospel fan Web sites. “I think holy hip-hop music is starting to make a move,” said Danny Wilson, a former road manager for rapper-actor LL Cool J and the main organizer of the Holy Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta. “Look how long it took regular hip hop to take. You’re talking about 25 to 30 years for it to really make an impact to the point that it’s a driving culture that’s known all over the world.” Wilson said better air play of hip-hop gospel would make it a more effective tool in reaching the unchurched. He cites a syndicated two-hour radio show sponsored by Holy Hip Hop Awards that airs once a week in about 100 cities. “We get letters from prison all the time,” Wilson said. “One man wrote, ’I wish I had this music when I was out on the street, it might have saved my life.”’

Sean Simmonds, left, and hip-hop gospel artist Trey Andale Williams perform in a recording studio in Harvest, Ala. Joey Elwood, president of Gotee Records, a small independent label, agrees hip-hop gospel would benefit from more air play on both gospel and secular outlets, but he believes “a lot of the outlets are afraid of offending people.” “If there’s any genre where I think that would not be an issue, it would be in hip-hop,” Elwood said. “I think hip-hop listeners are less likely to complain about a gospel message in their song. The radio stations have got to get a little bit braver.”

Xist could create more awareness and demand for its music with its other ventures, said Kymberlee Norsworthy, director of publicity for Verity Gospel Music Group, a subsidiary of Sony. “I think only time will tell, but I have faith and confidence that it will be successful,” she said of the company. Xist’s film, “Stand,” and its reality TV show focus on three young hip-hop gospel artists struggling in the industry who refuse to trade their beliefs for fame.

Black said the gospel cruise, which allows fans to mingle with their favorite artists, is also an opportunity for people to enjoy themselves “and not ... worry about compromising what they believe in.” “We Christians, but we party, too,” he said. The key will be staying true to a Christian message, said Vassal Benford, a top California-based record and movie producer who is working on his first gospel album. Xist needs to clearly distinguish the music from secular hip hop, whose reputation and lyrics are often “centered around a lot of darkness,” such as robbing and killing. “Gospel music has a certain wholesomeness to it,” he said. “And whether it’s a hip-hop beat or whatever it is under it, the underlying cause of it should always be about God and ... creating a positive influence.” Trey Williams, also known as Andale, is a Nashville gospel rapper starring in Xist Worldwide’s film. He said his lyrics focus on humility and encouragement, rather than negativity. On a track from his latest CD, “White Flag,” Williams says: “I’m surrendering ... sick of lying, sick of stealing ... I’m taking my life back the devil he don’t really like that but Christ glad I’m waving this here bright white flag.” Williams said he believes the movie will provide valuable exposure for hip-hop gospel. “If people know we’re here and they know the level of quality we’re presenting then they’ll pay attention to it, but the trick is getting them to pay attention,” said the 27-year-old Williams. “We have to get in their face, and a lot of times they just don’t know we exist. I think this film will help with that.” Hip-hop gospel pioneer Vicki MackLataillade, whose discoveries include gospel star Kirk Franklin and a group called The Gospel Gangstaz, said she understands the challenges of “doing radical music” and applauds companies like Xist Worldwide for thinking outside the box. “It’s healthy for the industry to have ... new visions,” she said. “It’s the lifeblood.” On the Net: • Xist Worldwide: http://www.xistworldwide. com • Xist Urban Gospel Cruise: http://www.xistgospelcruise.com • Trey Williams (also known as Andale): http:// www.andalemuzik.com • Holy Hip-Hop Awards: http://www.holyhiphop.com • Gotee Records: http://www.gotee.com

Woodland Garden Club enjoys tour of Franklin Brothers Nursery The November meeting of the Woodland Garden Club was hosted by Betty Ayscue. Program chairman was Katherine Moss, who scheduled a member field trip to Franklin Brothers Nursery and Greenhouses for a special program entitled “Indoor Plants for Winter Enjoyment,” presented by Sam Franklin. Sam Franklin and his brother, Joe Franklin, are both graduates of N.C. State University. At the present time, Sam’s son, Tommy, manages the nursery. He is the fourth generation to farm the land where the nursery is presently located. Joe Franklin left the nursery business in 1998 to follow his calling as a missionary. Sam Franklin stated that Franklin Brothers Nursery was started as a partnership by Sam and Joe Franklin. Sam is active in Henderson and Vance County and is a member of New Sandy Creek Baptist Church. The nursery occupies 20 acres of Franklin Farms. There are 26 greenhouses that cover approximately two acres. During the past ten

Members of the Woodland Garden Club listen to a presentation by Sam Franklin. years, serious droughts have affected the business, but preventive types of landscaping has helped, he said. Many nursery crops have needed adjustments as a result. Franklin introduced Gail Shirk, garden center manager, who accompanied Franklin and the group on the tour.

“Fall is for planting,” Franklin told the group. Pansies and evergreens are great for gifts, he said. Plants planted in the fall gain six to eight weeks of root growth. Even though a plant appears dormant, it will continue to grow. This will give the plant a head start for next spring and summer.

A question was asked about the care of garden mums. Garden mums should be cut back until July 4, Franklin said, and they will remain compact until they bloom in the fall. The garden mum naturally blooms in late September. Franklin then discussed plants that will bloom in late fall and winter. The

Knock-out rose is one of the plants that will bloom until Christmas. Franklin recommended cutting back the roses around February to 14-15 inches tall. He then pointed out to the group that Sasanqua camellias will bloom until late fall. Heather is also is a small shrub-like plant that blooms in the winter, he added.

After touring the garden center, the group went into the greenhouse where the poinsettias were in bloom. Franklin explained the process for growing the poinsettias. In March, the greenhouse staff grows about 100 mother plants. The mother plants are grown into small shrubs that are about 18 inches tall. From these plants, they take about 20 to 24 cuttings for plants to root in July and August. The cuttings are then planted in 4-inch to 10-inch pots. The plants naturally bloom in October and the red color develops between October and early December. Franklin discussed Easter lilies and the various crops for holidays. Christmas cactus (or Thanksgiving cactus) naturally blooms around the end of November. They are a popular addition to the poinsettia crop. They come in colors of red, white, pink, lavender, orange and yellow. Following the tour, members gathered for a short business session. After the business meeting, members assembled at the Bamboo Garden to enjoy a lunch together at tables reserved by Ayscue.

Garrett receives Eagle Scout award Daniel Keith Garrett of Boy Scout Troop #318 in Raleigh was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout on Oct. 17. Garrett began scouting in 2000. He has earned 25 merit badges and has served his troop as historian, assistant patrol leader and patrol leader. He was elected into the Order of the Arrow in 2009. For his Eagle Scout service project, he organized a shoe drive supporting Shoes for Orphan Souls.

2009

Recently, Franklin County used the amazing power of photography to show the different aspects and importance of farm life in Franklin County. The photography contest awards ceremony was held at the Seby B. Jones Performing Arts Center at Louisburg College. The contest was sponsored by the Franklin County Cooperative Extension Service, the Franklin County Arts Council, and the Franklin County Tourism Development Authority. The pictures were taken during several farm tours held on May 16-17 in Franklin County. The contestants ranged in age from 8-12 years (children), 13-19 years (teens), and 20 years and up (adults).

Old Italy lives in ‘Assassin’s Creed II’ By LOU KESTEN Associated Press Writer

Italian crime families have become a staple of video games over the last few years, starring in such hits as “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City,” “The Godfather” and “Mafia.” And don’t get me started on “Mafia Wars,” the browser game that’s consuming half of my Facebook friends. “Assassin’s Creed II” (Ubisoft, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, $59.99) can be thought of as a prequel to all of those. At times, it feels like what you would get if you took the open-world mayhem and melodrama of “GTA” and transported them to Renaissance Italy. It’s one of the year’s most fascinating adventures. You are Ezio Auditore, a young ne’er-do-well living the high life in 15th-century Florence. Soon, however, his father and brothers are falsely accused of treason and executed. Ezio escapes, swearing vengeance on

The conspiracy Ezio unravels involves the highest levels of Italian society, all the way up to the Pope. Several historic figures, including Niccolo Macchiavelli and Lorenzo de Medici, figure prominently, and Leonardo da Vinci is delightfully cast as an excitable gadget guru. Ezio’s story, however, is just

THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME by Mike Argirion and Jeff Knurek

Unscramble these four Jumbles, one letter to each square, to form four ordinary words.

SESMY ESSMYT RAHBOR Answer: Saturday’s

NEW BIBLE Jumble Books Go To: http://www.tyndale.com/jumble/

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Everything may be in working order, but it will still benefit you to make a pit stop for the repair and maintenance of your soul. Whatever you feel like you need to lighten your spirits, get it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll go about your activities with a light heart because you have people at home who love you and enjoy your company. Your house will feel especially cozy this evening when you return. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A new love is simply a new person awakening the feeling of love that was already inside you. It’s nice to have someone unlock it for you, but not necessary. It was always there. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Life is not a problem to be solved; it’s an experience to be savored. Balancing the sweetness of fun with the saltiness of hard work is challenge, but it can be done. One need only watch you! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will find yourself in the company of people who know you and love you in spite of your quirks. So refrain from spending your energy on improving this or that. See if you can love things as they are. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The topic of conversation you choose among friends says a lot about where you and your friends are emotionally. Here’s a topic to help you stay positive: What are the three best things that happened to you recently? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The secret to winning this race is knowing how to pace yourself. Pay attention to the internal signals that alert you to when you’re starting out too fast or trudging along below your ability. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Remember when you used to sit around and wonder what your life would be like? Well, this is it. Give it your approval rating. Things are moving fast now, too, so throw in a twist to keep it interesting. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re proud to have all sorts of different kinds of friends. The rabble-rousers help you appreciate the quiet, loyal people in your life. Sunday morning pals are an essential complement to your Saturday night conspirators. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are a few worries in the back of your mind, but you may as well let them go — they are unfounded. The clouds on the distant horizon aren’t coming any closer to you. So warm your face in the sun and feel glad to be alive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A rift that arose out of nowhere needs to be mended. A simple misunderstanding can grow into an irreconcilable difference if neglected, so time is of the essence. Reach out and apologize for your part in it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you want your own fun, you’ll have to seek it out consciously. Because the kind of fun that just happens to find you is actually someone else’s fun — still good, but not a perfect fit.

the surface of an elaborate mythology that Ubisoft has cooked up for this series. It concerns a centuries-long battle between the Templars, who want to control all of humanity, and the Assassins, who are fighting for free will. The Italy in “ACII” is really just an incredibly detailed computer simulation drawn

from the generational memory of one of Ezio’s descendants, a 21st-century bartender named Desmond Miles. Using a device called the Animus, Desmond is sent back into the memories of his ancestors to find information that could tip the balance of power between the Templars and Assassins. In the original “AC,” Desmond traveled back to the Holy Land of 1191, where he assumed the role of an assassin named Altair. The first game buckled under the weight of its ambitions: The story was confusing and poorly paced, and the gameplay quickly became repetitious. “Assassin’s Creed II” fully answers every complaint critics had about its predecessor. The vengeance-driven main story zips along nicely, taking some genuinely surprising turns. And there’s plenty of other action to distract Ezio — assassination contracts, courier missions, treasure hunting — so you can

Now arrange the circled letters to form the surprise answer, as suggested by the above cartoon.

easily switch gears if you tire of one type of challenge. The most significant improvement is that every activity, from exploring to fighting to horseback riding, feels smooth and instinctive. That’s particularly true whenever Ezio needs to get a higher vantage point: Running across rooftops, leaping across alleys and scaling tall buildings have never felt so exhilarating. And when you find yourself perched on a church steeple, take the time to look around, because the scenery is gorgeous. I was disappointed when “Assassin’s Creed” didn’t live up to its potential, so I’m all the more delighted with “ACII,” which exceeds expectations in every way. I can’t wait to see where — and when — the next chapter takes us. Four stars out of four. On the Net: • “Assassin’s Creed II”: http://assassinscreed.us.ubi.com/assassinscreed-2/
