HUMANE SOCIETY OUTREACH EVENT

Education for pet ownersHumane Society offering education, free vaccinations on SaturdayBy ALEXA [email protected]

SANFORD — More than 212,000 animals are euthanized in North Carolina animal shel-ters every year, and several local, state and national organiza-tions are banding together to do something about it.

The Humane Society of the United States, the N.C. State Col-lege of Veterinary Medicine and community organizations such as Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption, Jonesboro Heights

Baptist Church and Shallow Well Church will sponsor a commu-nity outreach event Saturday focusing on pet health and responsible pet ownership.

The event will feature free vaccinations for cats and dogs, including rabies and distem-per shots, as well as free and reduced spay/neuter vouchers for the Spay/Neuter Veterinary Clinic in Vass. There is a limited supply of vaccines and vouchers.

“The Humane Society con-tacted us and Shallow Well and asked about hosting something,”

said Mark Gaskins, senior pastor at Jonesboro Heights Baptist Church. “We thought this would be a good opportunity to reach out to the community.”

The outreach event will also include information about re-sponsible pet ownership. Abbey Lindauer of CARA said the goal is to provide Lee County resi-dents with some much-needed services while educating people about ways to keep pets out of shelters, and consequently re-

CAGE OF FOOLSBy JENNIFER [email protected]

SANFORD — When two dim-

witted friends make the bad decision to open a restaurant, then employ an even worse idea when it fails, the result can make for some hilarious theater.

Temple Theater’s latest production “Flaming Idiots” is the tale of a misguided business

venture and its comical con-sequences. The modern farce follows ex postal employees Phil and Carl as they open a restau-rant and devise a hare-brained scheme to keep it afl oat.

According to Director Craig Rhyne, Temple is hosting the regional premiere of Tom Rooney’s comedy.

CRIME

Man arrested for hitting son, pulling out hairBy BILLY [email protected]

SANFORD — Lee County investigators arrested a local man Tuesday after they say he beat his 12-year-old son and pulled out chunks of his hair.

Deputies said Donnell

Gene Stanley, 42, of 973 Minter School Road in Sanford, is be-ing charged with misdemean-or child abuse in the case.

The Sheriff’s Offi ce was called to Stanley’s residence around 4:50 p.m. Tuesday in reference to screaming in the area. Upon their arrival, depu-

ties found Stanley sitting in his yard holding a beer and a belt.

Stanley said he had got-ten into an argument with his son, and his son reported that Stanley hit him with a belt and pulled out his hair.

Investigators said Stanley was disciplining his son for

low grades in school and for disobeying him.

Deputies found belt marks on the boy’s arms and back, as well as missing hair from his head.

Stanley was released from Lee County Jail under a $2,500 unsecured bond.

City plansout moresidewalks,greenwaysPlanners target more than 19,000feet of pathwaysBy BILLY [email protected]

SANFORD — City planners outlined a long-term map for pedestrian paths Tuesday, includ-ing with it millions in proposed spending on local sidewalks and greenways.

The still in-the-works plan is being drafted by city planners along with regional engineering fi rm McGill Associates, emerging from a local steering committee and community surveys of top priorities.

Mike Norris of McGill Associ-ates told City Council members Tuesday that planners are target-ing the construction of nearly 19,000 linear feet of sidewalks in the city, adding up to an estimat-ed total bill of almost $935,000.

Norris identifi ed large roads like Horner Boulevard, Vance Street, Carthage Street, Lee Avenue and more as top priori-ties. These areas combine heavy pedestrian and motorist traffi c, offi cials said.

Youth sportsbegin workto preventconcussionsBy JAIME ARONAP Sports Writer

DALLAS — Youth football leagues are responding to warn-ings about the dangers of hard hits by offering new videos, coaching exams and other lessons about preventing and recognizing concussions — even though or-ganizers believe their level of the sport is as safe as football gets.

There are an estimated 3 million kids ages 6 to 14 playing tackle football in the United States and longtime league administra-tors say the majority of players aren’t big enough and don’t hit hard enough to cause serious damage.

“It’s really surprising how few (concussions) we’ve had,” said Carolyn Stewart, a coach, board member or commissioner for nearly 20 years in the Dallas-area Spring Valley Athletic Association’s football leagues. “I know of more from skateboards or falling off playground equipment.”

Still, at a time when the pros

‘Kids Voting’ returns to teach election processBy ALEXA [email protected]

SANFORD — Voters may have to be 18 years old for their ballots to count, but that doesn’t mean younger politically-minded people can’t ex-press their opinions. Kids in grades K-12 can share which candidates they think should hold offi ce through Kids Voting.

A partnership among Kids Voting N.C., Com-munities in Schools and Lee County Schools, Kids Voting is open in Lee County now through Election Day on Nov. 2, albeit with a few changes from years past. Kids will now vote online rather than going to Kids Voting booths at Lee County polling locations.

“I think the kids have really enjoyed it in the past,” said Nancy Kimble, director of the Lee Coun-ty Board of Elections. “It ingrains into a child that voting is very important. They could go with their parents and see how they

vote.”But this year, kids

in more than 20 North Carolina counties will be voting from the comfort of their homes or class-rooms rather than ac-companying their parents to the polls on Election Day. Daintry O’Brien, executive director of Kids Voting N.C., said the organization decided to offer the online option because Early Voting has taken a hit on Kids Voting participation.

“With people having the opportunity to vote early, they’re going on lunch breaks or before they get home and they can’t bring their kids,” said Heather Little, executive director of Communities in Schools of Lee County.

Kimble said with the number of people who vote early, there just isn’t room to support Kids Voting during Early Vot-ing hours. She said in the future, polling locations may feature a Kids Voting booth with a computer so kids can cast their votes online and still visit the polling site, but the Board of Elections would have to discuss it fi rst.

Some schools are developing ways to recreate the voting booth atmosphere in the classroom. At J. Glenn Edwards Elementary, the fi fth grade class will turn the computer lab into a polling site where students can cast their votes online. Little said even though kids won’t be voting at the polls with

their parents, it is still important for parents to take an active role in the Kids Voting process.

“Especially with an election like this that’s more of a local election, they could take their kids to see someone around town who’s running for offi ce,” Little said. “They still have an opportunity to say, ‘This is who I’m voting for and this is why.’”

Kids Voting was fi rst introduced in North Carolina in 1992 as a two-part process. Teach-ers fi rst incorporate Kids Voting materials and activities into their les-sons, emphasizing civics, history and how to fi nd sources that will help students make informed choices in an election. After completing the edu-cation component, kids participate in the mock election.

Jeff Moss, superin-tendent of Lee County Schools, said he thinks Kids Voting is a crucial part of the curriculum.

“The Kids Voting program exposes our students to the election process and teaches them the importance of be-coming a responsible and informed citizen,” Moss said. “Our ultimate goal is to help our students develop the habits and skills they need to be ef-fective, engaged citizens and leaders.”

Though all grade levels receive the education component, O’Brien said younger students tend to participate in the mock election portion more often than older students. But with the introduction of the online option, she said she hopes more high school students will be motivated to cast their votes.

“Democracy is as strong as the people that support it,” O’Brien said. “It’s our right and our responsibility to vote. Thekids need to learn how to do that and learn it’s im-portant to do it, not just in the big elections but in every election.”

duce euthanasia numbers.“We’re really excited we

have a national organiza-tion interested in our com-munity and willing to help out,” Lindauer said. “What we’re ultimately hoping to do is establish a low-cost spay/neuter option locally.”

One goal of the event is to provide people with information about why spay/neuter is impor-tant for controlling pet population and shelter intake. Lindauer said a lot of people don’t have their pets spayed or neutered because they simply can’t afford it.

On average, spay/neu-ter in Lee County can cost anywhere from $150-$300. In addition to possibly opening a low-cost clinic, Lindauer said CARA and the Humane Society hope to provide transportation to spay/neuter clinics for people who may not have a way get there.

“There are so many people around who are not able to afford a lot of things,” Gaskins said. “We’ve found much of the low-income population of Sanford is concentrated in a 2-mile radius of our church. This is a way of providing a service to our community.”

In addition to provid-ing information about spay/neuter, Lindauer said the event will also address tethering because of the proposed ordinance that would place restrictions on the type of tether people can use and the amount of time animals can be teth-ered. She said CARA repre-sentatives will explain why they support the initiative and encourage discussion among attendees.

“Dogs that are teth-ered can become a public nuisance and a safety and health risk, because they do have a tendency to de-velop anti-social behaviors and have been known to bite,” Lindauer said. “It’s important all around for the animals and the

public.”Lindauer said it’s

important to provide the community with free and low-cost pet services and information about proper pet care because some people simply might not know the best ways to care for a pet.

“I’m a fi rm believer that Lee County as a whole is a very animal-loving place,” Lindauer said. “Some people don’t know the ad-vances or the changes that have been made in animal welfare. They might just be doing things the way they were raised.”

To further the infor-mation and discussion about animal welfare in Lee County, CARA, the Humane Society and the local government will team up Nov. 18 for a grass-roots community forum. Participants can voice their concerns and opinions about local animal welfare and brainstorm potential solutions.

“You’ll see all the great comics of the past are in here,” Rhyne said, “Abbott and Costello, the Three Stooges … ; I haven’t laughed so much in rehearsal I think ever.”

If the play’s protago-nists were inspired by the great comedy teams of the past, Michael Brocki said his character, Phil, is meant to be the less likeable one.

“I think he’s a jerk,” Brocki quipped. “He’s a bossy guy.”

His buddy, Carl, played by Stephen Moore, is well-meaning but slow on the uptake.

“He really wants to be accepted, to elevate his life, and Phil has this idea of how to do that,” Moore said, “and [Carl’s] not strong enough or smart enough to put up a fi ght.”

Phil and Karl open an eatery without any rel-evant experience – hiring a deaf cook played by Kristen McCabe and a melodramatic waiter played by Jonathan Coarsey .

Coarsey calls his char-acter, an aspiring actor named Eugene, “egocen-tric” and “over the top.”

“He feels he knows more about what’s going on than anyone else in the show,” Coarsey said.

Jonathan Rion Bethea portrays the show’s shady busboy, who claims to be Norwe-gian and is rarely seen without a mysterious briefcase in hand. The far-fetched character of Offi cer Task, a clueless cop played by Daniel Joyce, would be the comic relief in any other show.

Rounding out the cast are Katie Deal as Jayne, a newspaper critic who can’t seem to keep her hem out of her under-wear, and Mark Filiaci as would-be hitman Louie.

When their business fails to take off, Phil and Carl look to their rival, Zippy’s, for a foolproof marketing strategy. A notorious murder is responsible for Zippy’s popularity, and without a better plan, the friends stage a fake “hit” to drum up business.

“Nothing goes the way they expect or hope,” Rhyne said, “and hilarity ensues.”

“Flaming Idiots” opens Thursday at Tem-ple and runs through Nov. 7. Tickets are $20 per person and available by calling the Temple Box offi ce at 919-774-4155.

“Come in and leave your troubles out on Carthage Street,” Moore said. “Just have a good time.”

LEE COUNTY COMMISSIONERDISTRICT 2 (4-YEAR SEAT)

❏ The candidates: Incum-bent Amy Dalrymple (Demo-crat) vs. Charles Parks (Repub-lican)

❏ The Herald’s endorse-ment: Dalrymple

Broadway’s Amy Dalrym-ple sought the unexpired District 2 Lee County

Board of Commissioners seat in 2008 after heavy involve-ment in various issues sur-rounding Lee County Schools, notably the charge she helped lead for the renovation of Lee County High School.

She won the seat over Re-

publican Harry Undy, advanc-ing to the county board after serving as a member of the Broadway Town Council.

In many ways, in the two years since, Dalrymple, a homemaker and mother of four, has been a marginal rep-resentative.

So vocal about issues prior to the 2008 race, she’s since been mostly a silent observer on the board of commis-sioners. Her most notable contributions came in recent months, after she was appoint-ed by the board’s chairman to oversee an ad hoc Economic Development Corporation study committee, which

helped re-structure the coun-ty’s approach to development and incentives. Following that committee’s work, she’s made (like most candidates) eco-nomic development and job growth the primary elements of her platform.

Her campaign, though, has been short on ideas and sug-gestions for innovation and substantive positive changes for the county.

She’s involved and active as a commissioner, and atten-tive to details and issues, but movement doesn’t always imply improvement.

Still, Dalrymple, 46, has the edge over her Republican

opponent, Charles (Charlie) Parks. Parks, who’s 70, retired to Lee County after a career as an air traffic coordinator for the Federal Aviation Admin-istration and touts his experi-ence with the federal govern-ment and the life experiences he gained as a child of a De-pression-era farmer as proof he’ll deal appropriately with the county’s fiscal operation.

He’s accused the board of “tunnel vision,” yet in detailing missteps by the board, pri-marily offers up the standard Republican rhetoric (we’re go-ing in the wrong direction, I’ll be more responsible with your tax dollars, we need better

oversight, etc.) without hav-ing concrete solutions to the problems he claims commis-sioners like Dalrymple (who helps husband Tommy run the family farm) have caused. He promotes the need for tourism initiatives but won’t commit to making that a “must need” item for a budget he says needs major cuts.

Parks does a unique back-ground and is a viable candi-date, but frankly Dalrymple has more of a vested interest and, with two years served on the board, is a better fit to help the group navigate the turbu-lent financial waters ahead.

Endorsement: Dalrymple for District 2Editorial Board: Bill Horner III, Publisher • Billy Liggett, Editor • R.V. Hight, Special Projects Editor

Sheriff Carter should becommended for decision

To the Editor:Sheriff Tracy Carter should be

commended for refusing to allow partisan politics to hamper his job to enforce the law.

Recently, Sheriff Carter has received criticism from the Republi-can Party because he crossed party lines to support Butch Johnson, candidate for the Lee County Board of Commissioners and Rep. Jimmy Love Sr., candidate for the North Carolina House of Representatives. Sheriff Carter believes these candi-dates are better suited to support law enforcement.

Sheriff Carter has acted with dig-nity, integrity and dedication to our community by voicing his support for the candidates he feels will best represent the needs of Lee County. Despite the fact that these can-didates are not affi liated with the Republican Party, he has chosen to willingly expose himself to criticism from his own party in order to stand up for what he believes will best benefi t Lee County.

Regardless of political affi liation, we can all agree that Sheriff Carter has and will continue to do his very best to ensure our community is safe. His actions are a breath of fresh air for those voters who, like me, are more concerned with the best interest of their families, Lee County and the State of North Caro-lina than they are with the “R” or “D” following a name on the ballot.

We should all commend Sheriff Carter for having the integrity to make a decision he feels is the best for the county regardless of the criticism it may trigger.

Etheridge won’t explainhis liberal voting record

To the Editor:Now let me get this straight.

We should forget about the voting record of our career congressman because one of his acquaintances fi nds his character and familial achievements to be admirable?

I am willing to accept the evalua-tion due to its source but fi nd it to be of secondary importance.

The team of Obama, Pelosi and Reid are kept in power only by the rubber-stamp support of congres-sional Democrats like Bob Etheridge (97 percent). He has had more than ample time to develop the indepen-dence of thought that his constitu-ents need and deserve.

I am still waiting for his response to my June request for an explana-tion of his then recent votes in support of the Obama team. For a while, I thought he was just ignoring me, but now I believe it is more likely that he hasn’t yet been given the explanation by Pelosi, his de facto constituent.

SAN DIEGO — Either Democrats have bad memories or they have no shame.

Even in the heat of an election where it appears they’re about to get hammered, Democrats should know better than to play the “foreign card.”

Yet that’s what they’re doing. The strategy is to turn up the heat on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a generous contributor to Re-publican candidates and an effective coun-terweight to labor unions that give millions of dollars to Democrats. The preferred line of attack is that the chamber is acting as a conduit for money from foreign entities that want to infl uence our elections.

(The chamber does accept contributions from outside the United States, but offi cials insist that this money is kept separate from the funds used for political contributions.)

President Obama recently seemed to take a swipe at the chamber when he decried television ads blasting Democrats and the fact that “one of the largest groups paying for these ads regularly takes in money from foreign corporations.”

Vice President Joe Biden went after Karl Rove, the former White House adviser who has started an advocacy group that has raised millions of dollars for Republicans. Biden says he is concerned about these funds because: “We don’t know if they’re com-ing from foreign sources.”

The Democratic Nation-al Committee has released a new television ad blast-ing Republican congres-sional candidates because “it appears they’ve even taken secret foreign money to infl uence our elections.” And the liberal group MoveOn.org has claimed that “(f )oreign corporations are funding some of the $75 million the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is spending to defeat Democrats.”

As political tactics go, playing the foreign card is both offensive and dangerous. It exploits people’s fears of the unknown and appeals to the prejudice that many of us feel toward those who are different. It also fuels ugly nativist instincts that — once unleashed — can do real damage.

Democrats know this better than anyone because, over the last few years, this card has been played with regularity against the leader of their party: Barack Obama. In fact, when the story is written about Obama’s ar-rival on the national political scene, mem-bers of both political parties will have a lot for which to atone.

That includes a Democrat who endorsed Obama’s rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton, for president. Bob Kerrey, the former Nebraska senator, said during the Democratic primary that Obama should not be penalized for at-tending a “secular madrassa” as a child — a claim that had, at the time, already been discredited by the media. A day earlier, Ker-rey said: “It’s probably not something that

appeals to him, but I like the fact that his name is Barack Hussein Obama, and that his father was a Muslim and that his paternal grandmother is a Muslim. There’s a billion people on the planet that are Muslims, and I think that experience is a big deal.”

It was a sneaky way of playing the foreign card — and it had the effect of reminding us that the practice of exploiting ethnocentrism to score political points isn’t exclusive to Republicans.

Yet over the last two years right wing-ers have turned fear-mongering into an art form. The birther movement, which suggests that Obama was actually born in Kenya and

thus not eligible to serve as a president, is all about playing the foreign card and making the fi rst black president second-class by claiming he’s not a citizen.

The same goes for the more recent but equally far-fetched assertion by

conservative thinker Dinesh D’Souza that, as president, Obama is somehow channeling the “anti-colonial” spirit of his dead Kenyan father.

That would be the same father Obama hardly knew because he abandoned the family when his son was just a boy. Besides, Obama was raised by his white grandpar-ents in Hawaii and later went to college and graduate school in the Ivy League. Why not assume he learned his values there?

It’s because that assumption doesn’t let D’Souza tap into this fear of the foreign — an anxiety that liberals and conservatives alike have been willing to exploit to serve their own ends.

Both parties play the foreign card, and both have had it played against them. It’s time to remove it from the deck, and reac-quaint ourselves with something you don’t see much of in politics these days: decency.

Playing the foreign card

Don’t bring home the bacon

RALEIGH — Incumbent lawmak-ers, regardless of party or position, have a favorite slogan for this stage

in a political campaign: “Re-elect me, or else our district will lose its pull.”

I detest this argument, and seriously consider its utterance as a reason to vote for the challenger, any challenger, as long as he or she is not an evident crook, demagogue, or economic illiterate ...

Perhaps the most-objectionable reason offered to return an incumbent to offi ce is a promise to “bring money back home.” ...

If election offi cials agree that much government spending is wasted — be it at the federal or state levels — and then vow, smiling conspiratorially, to get “our fair share” anyway, they are helping to perpetuate a costly fraud. The relative pittance of taxpayer funds that a “power-ful” member of Congress or the General Assembly can deliver to a local district pales in signifi cance when compared to the cost of extracting taxes from the district, shipping the money to a capital city, skimming off shipping and handling charges (the political class gets paid fi rst), and then sending the money back denominated in giant novelty checks. ...

The funding system is rigged to make virtually everyone poorer, give virtu-ally everyone the impression that he is getting a little richer, and leave virtually everyone with the sneaking suspicion that everyone else is getting a lot richer — and it’s all because the local represen-tative doesn’t yet have enough seniority! How convenient.

This is not an argument against representative government. It is better than the alternative. It makes sense to apportion legislative power by district, among politicians who are elected from specifi c geographical constituencies, so as to ensure that a wide variety of talents, experiences, and viewpoints gets rolled into the policymaking process.

But representative government should not devolve into a system of regional sales reps ...

No. The system is what it is because we allow it to be. We have the power to send our lawmakers a message: that we want governmental leaders to start leading, to start addressing major public problems with concerted, thoughtful action.

I have my own list of actions I want to see my representatives in Congress and the state legislature take up next year. For example, now that government spending makes up nearly 40 percent of America’s gross domestic product, lawmakers should start by closing our yawning budget defi cits without more taxes. We’re taxed enough already.

Next, reform the tax code. Reform Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other fast-growing entitlements that threaten our fi scal future. Expand choice and innovation in education. Defeat Is-lamic totalitarianism. Redirect our trans-portation dollars to alleviate congestion and get America moving again. Combat the crime, disorder, and social decay that continue to inhibit progress in our inner cities. Defend our constitutional rights against their enemies, foreign and domestic. Restore freedom of speech and property-rights protection.

Thou art my hiding place. (Psalm 119:114)

PRAYER: Father, keep me safe and se-cure, shelter us from fear, so that we may move fully into a life of loving. Amen.

OBITUARIES

down to high school teams are adopting new rules about concussions, and Congress is holding hearings about the risk of permanent brain damage from poorly treated head injuries, youth football organizers realize it only makes sense to play it safe. Nobody wants to be the one who ignored the warnings.

USA Football, the sport’s national govern-ing body on the youth and amateur levels, has created a 12-minute video about concussions and made it part of a coaching certifi cation exam. The organization also is push-ing the catchphrase “when in doubt, keep them out,” and has just hit TV, radio and the Internet with a campaign called “Put pride aside for player safety,” which aims to erase the notion of someone merely having his bell rung, so he should shake it off and get back in there.

USA Football’s reach is limited, however. It’s a budding group, hoping its work on head injuries will help it gain authority — as opposed to the NFL, NCAA and National Federation of State High School Associa-tions, which already have the power to implement

changes.Ten states have passed

laws requiring a doctor’s approval for youth athletes suspected of having a concussion to return to play, and NFL Commis-sioner Roger Goodell has urged governors of the other states to join them. Last week, Congress heard testimony on the Protect-ing Student Athletes from Concussions Act, which would set standards for concussion safety and management in schools.

“You’ve got to be tough to play football, but no one has a tough brain,” said Dr. Stanley A. Herring, a member of USA Football’s wellness committee who has testifi ed many times before state and federal lawmakers.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates there are 3.8 million sports- and recre-ation-related concussions per year, among all ages. A 2007 CDC report estimated there are 135,000 emer-gency room visits per year for traumatic brain injuries among people ages 5 to 18, the majority coming from recreational sports.

Youth football organiz-ers say their sport barely contributes to that total.

“I can probably count on one hand the number (of concussions) I’ve seen or that have been reported to us over the last several years,” said Jim Louro, in

his third season as safety offi cer for the Jersey Shore Pop Warner league, one of the nation’s largest with about 12,000 players on 260 teams across a 90-mile region.

Louro pointed to age-weight restrictions that ensure kids are all roughly the same size. While weight ranges vary among leagues, it’s typical for kids on the higher end to wear a sticker or an X on their helmet signifying they can only be linemen; the very heaviest are restricted to offensive line. The Las Cruces (N.M.) Bantam Weight Sports Association has those rules, and Darin Spence felt the league was safe enough for his son, Drake. Spence even teased that the fi fth- and sixth-graders weren’t hitting, they were “belly bumping.”

Then Drake, a 70-pound quarterback, ran a sweep and was clobbered by a player weighing at least 100 pounds. He came away with a concussion and a dent above an ear-hole on his helmet.

Spence, the women’s basketball coach at New Mexico State, had seen enough concussions to be cautious. He forced Drake to miss two weeks.

“If they whine, you’ve just got to be good at explaining you are doing what’s best for them,” Spence said.

A basic step toward preventing concussions is teaching kids proper tackling technique.

“We always tell them, ‘You cannot hit with your head down,”’ said Jeff Mabry, defensive coordinator for a team of 11- and 12-year-olds in the Franklin (Tenn.) Cowboys program that’s featured in country star Kenny Chesney’s “Boys of Fall” video.

“It’s ambitious but yet it gives you direction for the future,” Norris said.

The plan also identifi ed millions in spending on lo-cal greenways around the Big Buffalo Creek, some of which is already under construction. The plans

were met with some reluc-tance from City Council members.

“Where’s the money go-ing to come from?” asked Councilman L.I. “Poly” Cohen. Sanford Planning Director Bob Bridwell said the plans will be phased into budget requests over the years, appearing in capital budget expenses and smoothing the way for the city to seek fi nancial

grants for various projects.Bridwell said the city

has struggled in the past with builders creating offi ce projects without pedestrian access.

“That’s particularly true in the (Central Carolina Hospital) area,” Bridwell said. “We’re now suffer-ing because we don’t have sidewalks there.”

Bridwell said plan-ners will look to call on

builders to come up with and implement plans for sidewalks and pedestrian walkways during the devel-opment process.

Norris said engineers based their maps of areas in need of pedestrian pathson places that include a large number of occupants without cars, or areas with a heavy population of school-age children or businesses.

Four teams from the At-lantic Coast Conference’s Coastal Division began the season ranked in the national polls.

They’re fi nally starting to play like they belonged there.

No. 23 Virginia Tech and 25th-ranked Miami are back in the Top 25 after absences of varying lengths. Two other teams are starting to reappear on voters’ ballots: North Car-olina, which is returning some key players to the fi eld and fi nding closure for others, and Georgia Tech, which bears little resemblance to the team that lost to lowly Kansas.

After a topsy-turvy start to the season, order fi nally seems to have been restored to the Coastal.

“The two losses defi -nitely hurt us, but we’re starting to get on a roll now and playing like the team that we all know

we could be since as early as January,” Virginia Tech cornerback Rashad Carmichael said. “I think we’re right where we want to be going into this ACC stretch.”

That’s just as true of the Hokies — who are 2-2 outside the ACC and 3-0 in it — as it is for the Hurricanes, Tar Heels

and Yellow Jackets. All of them appear to have bounced back from the early struggles that cast serious doubt on the pre-season observation that the Coastal, with its four preseason Top 25 teams, was by far the stronger of the ACC’s two divisions.

NEW YORK — CC Sabathia pitched like a champion, and the New York Yankees are head-ing for Texas. A whole lot better than heading home.

Nick Swisher and Robinson Cano hit consecutive homers to

build an early cushion, Sabathia made the lead stand up and the Yankees avoided elimina-tion, beating the Rangers 7-2 Wednesday and closing within 3-2 in the AL championship series.

“We’re right where we need to be,” Swisher said.

A late-arriving crowd for the

late-afternoon game wondered whether this would be it for the defending World Series champs after Texas outscored them 25-5 while winning three in a row.

But Sabathia bounced back from an erratic opener, staying away from too much trouble

Defending champs Duke the runaway favorites in ACCNorth Carolina picked third, N.C. State fourth at annual conference media eventBy STEVE WISEMAN and BRIANA GORMANDurham Herald-Sun

CHARLOTTE — Duke is the near unanimous, or maybe the full unanimous, pick to win the ACC men’s basketball championship, according to media cover-ing the league.

The Blue Devils, the reigning NCAA champions, received 61 of 62 fi rst-place votes from media members who attended ACC Operation Basketball on Wednesday.

But the lone dissenter, Chris Miles, a reporter from Roanoke, Va., television station WDBJ, said his vote for North Carolina was a mistake.

Either way, Duke is a resounding favorite. It’s the ninth time in the past 15 years, and the second year in a row, that Duke has been the preseason league favorite

“Our program and our fans are accustomed to hav-ing a target on their backs,” Krzyzewski said. “I’d rather have it there than not have it there.”

Virginia Tech, with fi ve starters back from a 25-9 team, was picked second, with UNC, N.C State and Florida State rounding out the top fi ve. The rest of the poll, in order of fi nish, was Maryland, Clemson, Miami, Georgia Tech, Boston Col-lege, Virginia and Wake Forest.

UNC is coming off a diffi cult season when the Tar Heels fi nished 5-11 in the ACC and 20-17 overall, missing the NCAA Tourna-ment.

UNC coach Roy Williams, before learning Miles’ iden-tity, joked the fi rst-place vote for the Tar Heels had a hidden meaning.

“That had to be a North Carolina graduate that hates Duke,” Williams said. “I’m always pulling for the Ameri-can against the guy from the foreign country regardless of who it is. That had to be that situation right there.”

Miles, though, gradu-ated from Farifi eld (Conn.) University.

The preseason all-con-ference team is led by Duke senior Kyle Singler, the lone unanimous pick. Duke’s Nolan Smith also made the team, along with Virginia Tech’s Malcolm Delaney, N.C State’s Tracy Smith and Chris Singleton of Florida State.

Singler was picked as the league player of the year, while UNC’s Harrison Barnes is the selection as rookie of the year.

Williams is confi dent Barnes can deal with the expectations.

“I think he’ll handle them exceptionally well, I really do,” Williams said. “He’s just that kind of individual. It doesn’t bother him. He wants the expectations. He takes a great deal of pride in people thinking that’s he’s going to be pretty good, and then that drives him to work hard enough to do that.”

Hamlin ready for short track showdownJohnson leads by 41 points heading into MartinsvilleBy JENNA FRYERAP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE — Mired in traffi c in the closing laps of the March race at Martinsville Speedway, Denny Hamlin bulldozed his way through the crowd determined to be fi rst to the fi nish line.

“I think no matter what, we were going to win that race,” Hamlin recalled this week of his sensational drive through the pack to his fi rst victory of the season.

He needs to have the same mindset Sunday when he goes into the sixth race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship trailing four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson by 41 points.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Alex Smith chuckled Wednesday when asked about Carolina’s Jimmy Clausen getting benched after just three games.

The San Francisco quarterback, who will face the Panthers on Sunday, knows a thing or two about being jerked in and out of the lineup as a rookie.

“I kind of refer to it as scar tissue, things that stay with you” Smith said in a conference call. “You get put in that tough situation where you have to play and you’re un-prepared. If you go out there and play bad in this league and go through some rough things as a young player it can abso-lutely cause you to carry that scar tissue with you for a while.”

Smith built up some of that in his rookie season with San Francisco in 2005, when a combina-tion of inconsistent play and injuries left fi rst-round pick in and out of the lineup. It’s a similar situation to what’s hap-pening now with second-round choice Clausen and

the woeful Panthers (0-5).Coach John Fox

benched Matt Moore after just two games for Clau-sen. The former Notre Dame standout then got only three games before he lost the starting job.

So despite six intercep-tions and two lost fumbles in less than nine quarters, Moore is the starter again despite his 33.3 passer rating.

“It didn’t help much,” Fox said of his earlier decision to start Clausen. “We’re 0-5 and we were 0-2 when we made the last switch. Right now, we’re just looking for improve-ment and we’re going with experience.

“Matt did win four out of fi ve games last year. He does have more experi-ence. I think it was time to take a look back at him.”

And put Clausen back on the bench. Thanks to poor protection, incon-sistent and inexperienced receivers and a running game bogged down by eight-man defensive fronts, Clausen didn’t have much of a chance to succeed.

He didn’t come close.

Carolina averages a league-low 10.4 points a game and is last in the NFL in total offense. Clau-sen has three intercep-tions, seven fumbles and just one touchdown pass.

Now, just as top re-ceiver Steve Smith seems poised to return — he practiced Wednesday af-ter missing a game with a sprained ankle — Clausen has been demoted.

“They just said they needed to try to get some momentum,” Clausen said. “That’s why they did it the fi rst time, going to me instead of Matt and making the switch. They said he has more experi-ence and will have me go on the sidelines and watch a little bit.”

Moore’ success in his second stint will depend a lot on his teammates. The running game needs to get out of its funk, the offensive line must give him time and the receiv-ing corps must fi nally become a factor.

Steve Smith’s return might help.

“I love to play, but I have to be healthy,” said Smith, injured Oct. 3 against New Orleans. “I feel like I’m healthy. I’m out of the boot and I don’t have much pain so I’m able to move around. So I feel good.”

But even if the Pan-thers start to fi nally move the ball with Moore, Alex Smith warns that Clausen, who has a 52.2 passer rating, must continue to prepare each week as if he’ll play.

Southern remains unbeaten in conference playBy JONATHAN [email protected]

CAMERON — Southern Lee’s soccer team contin-ued its romp through the Cape Fear Valley Confer-ence slate on Wednesday, scoring two late goals to beat Union Pines 2-1.

The win clinches at least a share of fi rst place in the conference for the Cavaliers with three games to play.

Southern is an unde-feated 9-0 in the league, and face Douglas Byrd on the road today and home games against Douglas Byrd and Union Pines on Monday and Tuesday of

next week to fi nish the regular season.

A win in any of the three remaining games clinches the conference title outright for the Cavs.

After a scoreless fi rst half, Union Pines’ Alan Cha scored on a free kick from 25 yards out to put the Vikings ahead.

But Southern’s Rogelio Vivas put his team ont he board in the 50th minute with an assist from Carlos Flores to tie the game.

With eight minutes left, Freddie McCallum found the back of the net on an assist from Ronaldo Sanchez to set the game’s fi nal score.

SIX SPECIALTIES

The Sanford Herald / Thursday, October 21, 2010 / 3BSports

Chase standings — they have combined to win the last eight races at Martinsville — and this short track showdown could be pivotal in determining this year’s champion.

“People would think so, and I would think so,” Hamlin said of the title implications for Sunday’s race. “I’d think that he’d be one of the guys that I would have to beat.”

Hamlin held the points lead through the fi rst two Chase races, but dropped behind Johnson after Kansas, and has seen the gap widen the last two weeks. Yet he still feels as if he has Johnson right where he wants him with fi ve races remain-ing in the Chase.

When the series fi rst stopped at Martinsville this season, Hamlin, the preseason pick to be Johnson’s top challenger, was off to a disappoint-ing start. He announced that weekend he’d have surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate liga-ment in his left knee in the coming days, and his critics were quick to dismiss him from the pool of championship contenders.

He then used that stirring comeback victo-ry to prove to everyone that he wouldn’t go qui-etly, and he’s matched

Johnson all season in performance. Both driv-ers have a series-best six wins apiece.

Johnson has crept ahead the last three weeks, but not enough to cause Hamlin much concern.

“I’m not nervous at all going into Martins-ville,” Hamlin said. “For me, I would be more nervous if I was (John-son) going into Martins-ville because we won the last two races there. He didn’t have the spring race he was hoping for. We are going out there to be on the offense. He’s going to try to go out there and win the race as well.

“But for me, he’s go-ing to have to beat us to do it. I feel like we’re going to be strong when we get there. It’s going to take a lot to beat us there.”

Johnson, a six-time Martinsville winner, was ninth in the spring race. But he was admittedly not racing for the win.

“We ran 10th all day in the spring race. We were trying some stuff the fi rst time there, and we are not going back with the same style car,” he said. “We went to Little Rock and made some laps, and feel like we have got a good place to start, and go back with what we know and race from there.”

If he’s right, it could mean the two main title contenders will be rac-ing each other hard all day Sunday.

Hamlin has so far re-sisted being too aggres-sive, but said this week-end could be a repeat of the spring race, when a stop for tires with seven laps left had him ninth on a restart. It got very physical from there, and the race went eight laps past the scheduled distance because of late cautions.

Hamlin bumped and banged his way to the win, and would do it again.

“If that same situ-ation comes up in the Chase, I will prob-ably drive it the same, because your margin of error on a shorter track is a little bit larger than what it is on a mile-and-a-half, 2-mile race track,” he said. “You make a mistake on those, and you’re in the wall, your car is done and fi nished.”

Bad races by Jeff Gor-don and Tony Stewart last weekend at Char-lotte have pretty much reduced the Chase fi eld to a three-driver race be-tween Johnson, Hamlin and Kevin Harvick, who is 77 points out.

Hamlin loves how it’s shaping up.

“For me, (I’m) more relaxed going out there and saying I’m going to go out there and gain points this week ver-sus, ‘Let’s just manage a good fi nish and not lose a certain amount of points,’” Hamlin said. “It’s more relaxed than really I’ve ever been.”

against Josh Hamilton and Texas’ big bats. Rangers slugger Nelson Cruz made an early exit with hamstring trouble, a day after Yankees star Mark Teixeira was lost for the postseason with a hamstring injury. Curtis Granderson added an eighth-inning homer for New York, his second RBI of the game.

“There was a determi-nation,” Yankees man-ager Joe Girardi said. “We have not played extreme-ly well in this series, to say the least.”

Now the teams will go deep in the heart of Texas to decide the pen-nant in the best-of-seven series.

When they resume Friday night in Arlington for Game 6, Phil Hughes starts for the Yankees against Colby Lewis in a rematch of Game 2, won by the Rangers 7-2.

“It’s not disappoint-ing,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said. “It’s a seven-game series.”

In the 50th anniversa-ry of a franchise that has never reached the World Series, Texas remains one win away. To get past the Rangers, the Yankees will eventually have to solve postseason star Cliff Lee, who would start a Game 7 against Andy Pettitte.

“Crazier things have happened,” Swisher said.

New York is trying to overcome its first 3-1 postseason deficit 1958. Since the LCS went to a best-of-seven format, 24 of the 30 previous teams to take 3-1 series leads have won pennants.

No matter what, the season is over for Teixei-ra. The All-Star fi rst base-man was removed from the postseason roster and replaced by Edu-ardo Nunez, and Teixeira would not be eligible for the World Series. Lance Berkman took over at fi rst base and had a scare when he slipped chasing Ian Kinsler’s foul pop, causing his head and back to snap back. Berk-man stayed in the game and later caught a foul popup for the fi nal out.

“I imagine he’s going to be pretty sore tomor-row,” Girardi said. “He gutted it out today for us.”

On what would have been Bob Sheppard’s 100th birthday and Mickey Mantle’s 79th, the Yankees took a 3-0 lead in the second as C.J. Wilson seemed to have trouble with a muddy mound and created a hole with a pair of four-pitch walks. Jorge Posada and Granderson had run-scoring singles, and another run scored on an error by right fielder Jeff

Francoeur.Sabathia lasted just

four innings in the opener, when he started on eight days’ rest and the Yankees rallied from a five-run deficit. Leads of 5-0 and 6-1 never seemed comfortable in this one as he allowed two runs and 11 hits — matching his season high — in six innings with no walks. His key outs came in the sixth, when the Rangers loaded the bases with one out.

Matt Treanor, who had homered in the fifth, hit an RBI grounder. Then, culminating an eight-pitch at-bat, Sabathia froze No. 9 hitter Mitch Moreland with a curve-ball to strike him out. The big man responded with a fist pump.

Kerry Wood had his second big pickoff of the series in the seventh. Elvis Andrus singled leading, advanced on a wild pitch and was caught leaning by Wood, who caught Kinsler off first in the eighth inning of the opener. After Wood struck out three in two scoreless innings, Mariano Rivera finished in a non-save situation as the moon rose above the ballpark in right.

Texas has dominated, outscoring the Yankees 32-18 and outhitting them .316 to .217. New York is batting just .160 (8 for 50) with runners in scoring position, and Alex Rodriguez (.176), Swisher (.105) and Mar-cus Thames (.154) all have failed to hit their weight. Teixeira (0 for 14) has been replaced by Berkman (.222).

While the aggressive Rangers have swiped nine bases in 10 chances, they’ve also been picked off twice in the late innings.

Wilson threw just 48 of 93 pitches for strikes,

giving up six runs — five earned — six hits and four walks in six innings as Texas lost for the first time in six postseason road games this year.

New York took a 3-0 lead in the second with the help of the Rang-ers’ sloppiness. Walks to Rodriguez and Berkman put two on with one out, and Posada singled sharply to left on a 2-0 pitch to put the Yankees ahead.

Granderson fisted a soft single into right field to drive in Berkman, and Francoeur overthrow third. Posada scored on Francoeur’s error as Wilson, who was backing up, threw past Treanor at the plate — Posada eas-ily would have been out with an accurate throw.

Swisher, who had been 1 for 16 (.063) in the series, sent a fastball just inside the left-field seats leading off the third. Two pitches later, Cano pulled a breaking ball over the right-field scoreboard to make it 5-0.

Treanor homered to left leading off the bot-tom half, and singles by Moreland and Michael Young put two on with one out. Hamilton, who has four homers in the series, pounded a hittable 1-1 fastball into the grass for a 4-6-3 double play.

Rodriguez, just 2 for 16 in the series, doubled with one on in the bot-tom half, and Berkman’s sacrifice fly made it 6-1. New York wasted Grand-erson’s leadoff double in the sixth, when Swisher grounded into an inning-ending double play.

NOTES: Cruz came out in the fifth and was replaced by David Murphy. Cruz was on the disabled list three times during the season with hamstring injuries.

Favre not disclosing details on meeting with offi cials

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Brett Favre doesn’t want to talk about any subject but the Green Bay Packers, while the NFL is seek-ing more information about allegations he sent suggestive messages and lewd photos in 2008 to a woman who worked for the New York Jets.

Speaking on a confer-ence call with reporters in Green Bay ahead of Sunday night’s Vikings-Packers game, Favre called the NFL’s inves-tigation into his alleged behavior a “league matter.” Minutes later, he also declined to answer a series of questions about the situation in his weekly Wednesday news conference with Minne-sota media.

“That’s a league is-sue,” Favre said, “that I just have to leave at that.”

The Vikings quarter-back met with NFL vice president for security

Milt Ahlerich on Tuesday about his alleged ad-vances toward then-Jets game emcee Jenn Sterger two years ago, when Fa-vre played for New York.

Favre brushed off a question about whether the situation has weighed on him, insist-ing it was instead the “front fi ve for Dallas” that weighed on him last week. He said this week his “focus is solely on Green Bay.”

Asked why he hasn’t denied the allegations, Favre said: “The one thing I’m going to say is that’s something that’s within the league, and I’ll just have to leave it at that — let that process work itself out.”

Sterger has hired lawyers but has not com-mented on the allega-tions, which were posted on Deadspin.com with-out her cooperation. The website paid a third party for the texts, voicemails and graphic photos, said

to be of Favre, that it posted in a video. Sterger has not commented on the website’s report.

Attorney Joseph Conway said Wednes-day his fi rm will advise Sterger “and pursue any potential remedies that may exist.” He confi rmed being contacted by the NFL, but said noth-ing had been decided on a possible meeting between Sterger and the league.

Sterger is now a TV personality for the Versus network. Her manager, Phil Reese, said she’s had no discussions with Favre representatives about a possible fi nan-cial settlement stemming from the allegations.

Deadspin posted an e-mail Wednesday that it said it received from Ahlerich, asking to set up a meeting with the editor to talk about “sharing any and all details you ... may have on this mat-ter.”

By STEVE WISEMANDurham Herald-Sun

CHARLOTTE — All of Duke’s winning basket-ball teams under coach Mike Krzyzewski since 1980 have set up a strong of mileposts for him to surpass this season.

Krzyzewski begins this season with 868 Division I coaching wins, plac-ing him fourth on the all-time list behind Bob Knight (902), Dean Smith (879) and Adolph Rupp (876).

The 2009-10 season became memorable for Duke because the Blue Devils went 35-5 to cap-ture the program’s fourth national championship. While NCAA title No. 5 is the ultimate goal, mov-ing Krzyzewski up the list would be an historic byproduct.

This year’s seniors, speaking Wednesday at ACC’s Operation Basket-ball preseason media day, relish the opportunity to deliver it.

“I’m very happy to be a part of it,” Duke guard Nolan Smith said. “When I came to Duke, I knew I was coming to a program with Coach K that was a legacy already.

“I’m just real excited to be part of something like this. He coaches hard for us. I’m glad to return the favor.”

Kyle Singler, the most outstanding player of the Final Four in April, called the opportunity an honor.

“You weren’t there for all the wins,” Singler said, “but you defi nitely feel you are part of it and it’s a special thing.”

With Duke the pre-season favorite to win the ACC and the consensus No. 1 team in the country, it fi gures to be a year full of special moments for Krzyzewski. For his part, he wants the focus to remain on the players.

“It’s important for me to be in their moment, not for them to be in some historical mo-ment,” he said.

Krzyzewski needs fi ve wins to reach 800 for his career at Duke, where’s he has compiled a 795-220 record. Game No. 5 on Duke’s schedule is the second night of the O’Reilly Auto Parts CBE Classic at Kansas City, Mo., on Nov. 24. Duke will play either Gonzaga or Kansas State.

Duke’s ninth win of the season will propel Krzyzewski past Rupp, the legendary Kentucky coach who held the wins record for 25 years until Smith broke it in 1997.

Krzyzewski would move past Smith, his longtime UNC rival, with Duke’s 12th win.

That historic event almost certainly will happen in North Caro-lina. Games nine through 15 on Duke’s schedule are in-state between Dec. 8 and Jan. 9, and all but one are at Cam-eron Indoor Stadium. The lone exception is a Dec. 29 game against UNC Greensboro at the Greensboro Coliseum.

The win that vaults him past Smith fi gures to resonate throughout the state and the ACC.

“That will defi nitely say a lot about everything that Coach has done,” Smith said. “Year in and year out, he always has a winning program. Even in a so-called down year, he keeps it coming.

“He keeps the guys motivated; he keeps the guys wanting to win bas-ketball games. His secret is him. He just fi nds a way.”

Passing Knight, his former coach at Army, will take the most work. Duke must match the 2009-10 win total (35) or Krzyzewski will have to

wait until next season.Krzyzewski said he’s

friends with both Knight and Smith, although he hasn’t had contact recently with Smith, who is suffering from what his family described in July as a “progressive neuro-cognitive disorder that affects his memory.”

He did, however, have a recent dinner with Knight, who retired as the record-holder in 2008.

Nolan Smith said that Krzyzewski, even at age 63, continues to evolve and that makes him so successful.

“He’s defi nitely changed,” Smith said. “The USA basketball ex-perience has showed him different ways that he can coach his guys, different ways to motivate more, different ways to keep us fresh, fi nding ways to do conditioning or a practice.

“He defi nitely studies the game. He just con-tinues to get better as a coach.”

By BRIANA GORMANDurham Herald-Sun

CHARLOTTE — Before his collegiate career be-gan, North Carolina’s Tyler Zeller had missed just one day of practice and that was because of a fl u shot.

But over the past two seasons, a broken wrist and a stress fracture have forced the forward to miss 33 games and, by his own admission, set back his development.

Still, Zeller insisted Wednesday at ACC bas-ketball media day that he is not injury prone.

“I was never injured in high school,” Zeller said. “I missed one practice and it was for a fl u shot, and I don’t really know why I couldn’t practice that day.

“But I had to go tell my coach, and he made fun of me all day.”

At 7-0, Zeller is the tallest player for a team that is lacking frontcourt depth this season, as 6-9 Alabama transfer Justin Knox and 6-10 sophomore John Henson are the only other post players.

The Tar Heels need Zeller, who averaged 9.3 points and 4.6 rebounds in 17.4 minutes during the 2009-10 season, to stay healthy, especially since he will expected to take on a larger role both on and off the court.

With the dismissal of Will Graves, the Tar Heels have no senior scholar-ship players on the roster, and Zeller and junior Larry Drew II have been expected to fi ll the void.

“I had several discus-sions with Tyler in the spring when we did our individual meetings and in the early summer about, ‘Big fella, it’s time for you to step up,’ “ UNC coach Roy Williams said. “ ‘It’s time for you to be the player I want you to be, and I think you can be and you think you can be and you want you to be. It’s time for you to be one of those leaders out there on the court.’ “

The easiest way for Zeller to lead is by ex-ample, and that means avoiding injuries.

Zeller started the fi rst two games of his fresh-man year, then missed 23 games after breaking his left wrist. When he returned for the fi nal 13 games of the 2008-09 season, he seemed to be a step behind.

Zeller again got off to a solid start a year ago, then missed 10 ACC games in the middle of the season because of a stress frac-ture in his right foot.

“Last year, I think it set me back a lot just because I was starting to play well

and you get hurt and you can’t do anything,” Zeller said.

In fact, guard Dexter Strickland has played more minutes (625) in one season with the Tar Heels than Zeller has in two (586).

“I don’t think I’m injury prone,” Zeller said. “[My] freshman year [was] a freak accident, … and then last year, the stress fracture — pretty much you get a stress fracture for overworking.”

So making sure to not overexert himself was a point of emphasis for Zeller during the summer. He took time off between workouts to allow his body to heal and recover and said he’s feeling good right now — even though Williams said Zeller recently had an MRI on his calf as a precaution, although nothing was found wrong.

“Coming up, I was always taught work harder than the guy next to you, just continually go, go, go,” Zeller said. “So taking off days was something I wasn’t used to. But at the same time, it’s essential to being able to stay healthy.”

Zeller said the Tar Heels’ brutal offseason workouts have him in good shape and stronger now than he’s ever been. He said he hopes his improved strength will be another injury deterrent for a better season.

“I think you have to set high expectations to be able to get high results,” Zeller said. “I have high expectations, but at the same time, you’ve got to be able and go out and play.”

Cast of newcomers

Wake Forest coach Jeff Bzdelik was one of three new coaches who experienced their fi rst ACC media day Wednes-day. Bzdelik, who replaced Dino Gaudio in April, said being at a tradition rich program in one of the top leagues in the country is vastly different after spending the past three seasons as the coach of Colorado.

Bzdelik said that when he arrived at Colorado, which had won just seven games the previous sea-son, he spent part of his time trying to build a basketball culture.

“Now fl ip it over to Wake Forest,” Bzdelik said. “The tradition is there. The support is there.

“Those things are in place, whereas in Colo-

rado we were trying to develop a tradition and culture from the ground up and that’s hard to do. But at Wake Forest, those things are in place here, and I don’t have to go out and try to get people to come to games.”

Tweeting banned

North Carolina State coach Sidney Lowe doesn’t want to see any of his players putting objectionable material on Twitter. In fact, he doesn’t want them using it at all.

Lowe recently banned his players from Twitter and told them they had to close the accounts by this week. Forward Tracy Smith said Lowe didn’t offer a similar edict for Facebook, telling them only to “watch what we say and the things we put up there.”

“He just basically said people just go on there and say stuff that shouldn’t be said as far as curse words and slang words,” Smith said. “I mean, I can respect that. We had a team meeting and everyone was told to delete their Twitter account. Nobody had a problem with it. We just did it, no other way away around it.”

Smith said he had only recently joined Twitter, so closing the account was fi ne.

“If he had told me to delete my Facebook, I would’ve been like, ‘Oh, man,’” Smith said.

Delaney: Wake was dream school

On the same day Vir-ginia Tech was picked to fi nish second in the ACC and Hokies guard Mal-colm Delaney received the second-most votes for the preseason all-confer-ence team, Wake Forest was picked to fi nish last.

Oh, how things could have been so much dif-ferent.

Delaney said Wednes-day he wanted to go to Wake Forest while grow-ing up in Baltimore.

“Wake was my dream school because I looked up to Chris Paul a lot in high school,” Delaney said of the New Orleans Hor-nets point guard. “That was my favorite player.”

Delaney was expecting to receive a scholarship offer from the late Skip Prosser when he visited Wake Forest’s campus.

ACC NOTEBOOK

UNC’s Zeller hoping to beat the injury bug

Familiar face seen on campus at Miami

Frank Haith, who grew up in Burlington and graduated from Elon, is in his seventh season as Miami’s head coach.

Since a certain decision was made public this summer, he’s been getting a new helper.

LeBron James, the Miami Heat’s free-agent acqui-sition, has been spending time on Miami’s campus since, as James so famously said, “taking his talents to South Beach.”

Haith said James and New Orleans guard Chris Paul were looking for a place to play basketball one day. Paul and Haith have been friends since Haith, then an assistant coach, recruited him to Wake For-est.

Paul called Haith, who allowed them to use Miami’s practice facility. With so many NBA players living in South Florida, Haith said it’s not unusual for them to be around his program.

Of course, there’s only one LeBron.“He’s a different level,” Haith said.

County Leaders

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Colts punter Pat McAfee has become an example for his teammates headed into the team’s bye week — and not in a good way.

Indianapolis suspended McAfee for one game on Wednesday, a little more than 12 hours after the 23-year-old was arrested for public intoxication. Police said McAfee took a pre-dawn swim in a city canal and told them “I am drunk” as he tried to explain why he was sopping wet in the Broad Ripple neighbor-hood, a trendy area known for its nightlife.

Offi cers say the sec-ond-year player from West Virginia had a blood-alcohol content of 0.15 percent, nearly twice the legal limit for driving in Indiana. He was released from custody just before noon, about six hours

after his arrest.“Certainly not

pleased,” Caldwell said with one of the sternest expressions he’s shown in two seasons as head coach. “Very disappointed in what happened and once we have all of the information, we’ll take action at that time.”

According to the police report, McAfee was asked whether he was swimming in the canal and answered “I am not sure.” When he was asked why he was wet, McAfee responded, “It was raining.” When he was asked where his shirt was, McAfee said, “In the water.” And when he was asked how much he had to drink, McAfee said: “A lot cause I’m drunk.”

McAfee was not released from custody before Indy practiced and was not in the locker

room during the 45-min-ute media availability fol-lowing practice. By then, radio talk shows and local blogs had turned McAfee into the butt of jokes.

Not surprisingly, the Colts found no humor in it. They’ve now had four players arrested on alcohol-related charges this year.

“I talk about it more often than the bye weeks,” Caldwell said. “But that’s not the issue. What I’ve been doing hasn’t been enough. So the fact of the matter is we’ve got to get it straightened out.”

The Associated Press sent an e-mail seeking comment from Colts owner Jim Irsay and left two messages at the of-fi ce of McAfee’s attorney, Jim Voyles.

Team President BIll said the team decided

to suspend McAfee for next weekend’s Houston game, which could be a big loss for the Colts in a key AFC South game. McAfee could also face NFL penalties under the substance-abuse policy.

Police were called after a driver at a red light re-ported that a man with no shirt approached her car. The woman told police she feared the man was going to try to get in, so she ran the red light and called 911.

McAfee then told po-lice he was waiting for a friend to get him, but also that he planned to take a taxi home, the report said. He asked if he could walk home, but offi cers arrested him. They say he smelled of alcohol, his eyes were watery and bloodshot and his speech slurred.

Upset Harrison excused from Steelers practice

PITTSBURGH (AP) — This time, James Har-rison sacked himself.

The unhappy Steelers linebacker was excused from Wednesday’s prac-tice after meeting with coach Mike Tomlin about the $75,000 fi ne Harrison incurred for a helmet hit on a Browns receiver. Tomlin felt Harrison needed time to cool off.

Harrison was so upset with the fi ne — and the NFL’s stricter enforce-ment of dangerous hits — that he said he was weighing retirement, although Tomlin ex-pects him to practice on Thursday.

“I thought it was bene-fi cial for him and for us if I gave him a little time to cool off and give him the day off,” Tomlin said. “I excused him at that time and we went on and had a productive day. I’m sure he will be back in the building tomorrow.”

Harrison said in multiple radio interviews that he isn’t certain that he can keep playing the way he has been taught, now that the league not only is fi ning players but is threatening to suspend them for fl agrant hits. He was fi ned $5,000 earlier this season for a hit on Titans quarterback Vince Young. Neither of the Harrison hits that drew fi nes was penalized.

“How can I continue to play this game the way that I’ve been taught to play this game since I was 10 years old?” Har-rison said on Sirius/XM radio. “And now you’re telling me that everything that they’ve taught me from that time on, for the last 20-plus years, is not the way you’re supposed to play the game any more? If that’s the case I

can’t play by those rules. You’re handicapping me.”

The three-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker also said he might retire, although the Steelers don’t seem to be taking that threat seriously. If he quit, Harrison would owe the Steelers a share of the $20 million in upfront money he collected when he signed a $51.2 million, six-year contract in April 2009.

Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley also expects Harrison back, saying, “He loves the game too much, man. He loves it too much.”

Harrison was the 2008 AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year and has a reputation of being one of the league’s hardest hitters. His helmet hits about seven minutes apart in the second quar-ter caused Browns receiv-ers Joshua Cribbs and Mohamed Massaquoi to leave Sunday’s game with concussions.

Harrison was fi ned,

but not suspended, for the hit on Massaquoi be-cause the receiver could not protect himself as attempted to complete a catch. Harrison appeared to launch himself toward Massaquoi and struck the receiver with his helmet.

Tomlin repeated Wednesday that he is convinced Harrison’s hit was permissible.

“This is a very emo-tional thing for James,” Tomlin said. “He’s a very disciplined and regimented guy who’s passionate about the game of football. It both-ers him maybe that he’s being perceived as a dirty player. He doesn’t desire to be. He simply wants to play the game and play it extremely well.”

After the game, Har-rison said he tries to hurt opposing players be-cause it helps the Steelers win, although he doesn’t try to injure players. Tomlin wouldn’t specu-late if those comments may have led the NFL to increase its fi ne. Harri-

son has since backed off those comments, saying he doesn’t try to injure anyone.

The absent Harrison received considerable support from his team-mates, with guard Chris Kemoeatu saying that the linebacker’s relentless attitude motivates the offensive players, too.

“He is a really big in-fl uence to us,” Kemoeatu said. “We look up to him and we see his style of play and we want to be like him and hit like him and run like him. I don’t know how he’s affected by it, but I know he’s disappointed. I think he’s going to work things out and I think he will be all right.

Told that Harrison was contemplating retire-ment, Patriots quarter-back Tom Brady joked that he hoped it was true.

“I’d love to for him to retire,” said Brady, who plays in Pittsburgh on Nov. 14. “If he retired, it would make me very happy.”

The Atlantic Divi-sion is led by preseason favorite Florida State, which is 4-0 in the ACC. But midway through the year, two surprise teams — North Carolina State and Maryland, each with one ACC loss — remain on the Seminoles’ heels.

There aren’t any such shockers in the Coastal, where both struggling Virginia and Duke are 0-3 in league play and sit a full two games behind the four front-runners.

That fi gures to set up a wide-open stretch run in the Coastal, with things heating up this weekend when North Carolina faces Miami. The biggest day for the division might come Nov. 13, when Georgia Tech hosts Miami and Virginia Tech visits the Tar Heels.

“It’s going to play itself out here in the next couple of weeks, because everybody’s going to start to play everybody else,” said Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson, whose team beat North Carolina last month in the only matchup so far of top-four Coastal teams.

“We were picked fourth. We’ll see if they were right. We’ll know here in the next three weeks probably,” he added. “You’ve got Mi-ami and North Carolina

playing, so one of them is going to have two (ACC) losses. Then it hits the gauntlet. All the Coastal teams that were predicted in the top four are going to be playing each other in the next two, three weeks.

“So it’s going to sort itself out.”

League supporters might say these four schools fi nally are playing as expected. Cynics would argue that of course the wins were bound to come; they’re merely beating up on teams from a subpar ACC.

But either way, the four favorites have qui-etly gotten themselves back on track.

Virginia Tech had a miserable season-open-ing six-day span that included losses to Boise State and, stunningly, FCS member James Madison.

“You knew they’d bounce back,” Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said.

They certainly have — scoring at least 41 points four times during a fi ve-game winning streak.

“The fi rst week of the season, we dropped 0-2 that fast in that one week. It’s real easy to get down on yourself and throw in the towel like ‘Dang, we done lost two games that fast,’” Virginia Tech receiver Dyrell Roberts said. “But we got great senior lead-ership and our coaches kept us on the right track

and let us know that ... we still have plenty more weeks to go. And luckily right now, we’re on a roll and hopefully we can keep putting the work in and stay on this roll and fi nish out the season strong.”

North Carolina’s problems seemed to be mostly personnel-relat-ed. The Tar Heels opened the season minus more than a dozen players who were held out as part of the investigation into potentially improp-er agent-player benefi ts and possible academic misconduct.

Some, like defensive backs Deunta Williams and Da’Norris Searcy and running backs Shaun Draughn and Ryan Houston, have returned. Others, like de-fensive linemen Marvin Austin and Robert Quinn and receiver Greg Little, won’t see the fi eld again in college after being either dismissed from the team or found by the NCAA to be “permanent-ly ineligible.”

“It didn’t look too well at the beginning of the season for the ACC,” quarterback T.J. Yates said. “We weren’t doing so well, especially in the Coastal. After a couple of weeks, we all kind of got back on track and things got back to normal.”

Meanwhile, Georgia Tech’s season may have swung on one drive.

The Yellow Jackets ap-peared headed for disas-ter when a loss at Kansas dropped them out of the national consciousness. They appeared destined to be 2-3 when they trailed Wake Forest late. Joshua Nesbitt then led a

potentially season-sav-ing drive he capped with the winning touchdown pass with 15 seconds left. Tech won its next two games by an average of 20 points.

Miami was the ACC’s lone Top 25 team two weeks ago, but a blowout loss to rival Florida State knocked the Hurricanes out of the poll. They’re back in following a solid 28-13 win over Duke that marked turnover-prone quarterback Jacory Har-ris’ fi rst interception-free performance since the opener and Damien Berry’s third straight 100-yard rushing game.

Doubters might won-der just how impressive a 15-point win over the lowly Blue Devils can be. But nobody can com-plain about the defense’s seven turnovers.

“You can’t let it carry over,” Miami safety Vaughn Telemaque said following the Duke game. “You just want to keep on coming with a lot of energy, and we play a lot better that way.”

One thing is clear en-tering the stretch drive. One Coastal team — no matter which one it is — will have dug itself out of a considerable hole to earn a spot in the league title game.

“I think the schedule defi nitely gives us an op-portunity to control our own destiny,” Virginia Tech’s Carmichael said. “But either way it goes, we would be doing our best to try to win out, especially with those two losses early. We got our losses early, so now you’re trying to take it slow.”

UNC’s Brown out for year; Burney to miss Miami game

CHAPEL HILL (AP) — North Carolina cor-nerback Charles Brown won’t play this season amid the ongoing NCAA investigation into the football program, while cornerback Kendric Burney will miss this weekend’s game at No. 25 Miami.

Brown started all 13 games last season and still has a year of eligibil-ity remaining, though the school didn’t specify why he will sit out the season. Both he and Burney were among six players declared ineligi-ble “for violating school and/or NCAA rules” be-fore the opener against LSU. Neither has played this season.

Burney recently completed a six-game suspension issued by the NCAA for receiving

improper benefi ts con-nected to trips, but the school says there is an “unresolved issue” for Burney connected to the probe.

The NCAA launched an investigation in the summer focused on agent-related ben-efi ts, though that probe expanded to include possible academic viola-tions involving a tutor. The academic cases are being handled primarily by the school’s student judicial system, though privacy laws prevent the school from discussing in detail any player’s involvement in the aca-demic review.

Brown is the sixth player to miss the season connected to the investi-gation, joining defensive tackle Marvin Austin, defensive end Robert

Quinn, receiver Greg Little, and safeties Brian Gupton and Jonathan Smith. The NCAA de-clared Quinn and Little “permanently ineligible” for receiving jewelry and travel accommoda-tions, then lying about it in three interviews. The school kicked Austin off the team after the NCAA offered prelimi-nary information that he had received $10,000 to $13,000 in improper benefi ts.

As with Brown, the school didn’t specify why Gupton and Smith wouldn’t play this sea-son.

In addition to Bur-ney, the status of two other players — defen-sive end Michael McA-doo and fullback Devon Ramsay — remains in question. McAdoo has

yet to play this season, while Ramsay played the first four games before the school an-nounced it would hold him out of games due to the investigation.

Last week, defensive lineman Linwan Eu-well and tailback Ryan Houston were cleared to return after missing the fi rst fi ve games. Euwell played in the win at Virginia, though coach Butch Davis said Hous-ton might redshirt.

Tailback Shaun Draughn (one game) and safety Da’Norris Searcy (three) also missed games before being cleared to play, while safety Deunta Williams recently returned from an NCAA-issued four-game suspension for improper benefi ts con-nected to trips.

DEAR ABBY: Regarding the letter from “Lost in the Land of Aloha” (Sept. 1) and whether short men are considered less desirable — height is relative. I am 5’3” and dated taller men, usually 6 feet and over, because those were the guys who just were around and seemed to be attracted to me.

Then I met my husband. He’s 5 feet 6 inches and absolutely won-derful. Before me, he dated much taller women. He’s kind, loving, showers me with affection, offers me understanding, is a fantastic father and a complete kid-mag-net. He cooks, washes dishes, does laundry, changes diapers, and actually picks things up off the fl oor instead of vacuuming around them. I am the luckiest woman on this planet, and I know it.

Never pass up a short guy. They’re not short — they’re fun-sized!

— VERY, VERY HAPPY WIFE IN TEXAS

DEAR WIFE: I received a tsu-nami of responses to my question, “Does height really matter?” And it shows there’s no “shortage” of sup-port for men like “Kal” (“Aloha’s” friend) and your honey of a hus-band. Read on:

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are both 5 feet 6 inches. In the past I was concerned that we didn’t fi t the stereotype of the man be-ing taller than the woman, but it has actually worked out great. We can switch cars without having to adjust the seats and mirrors. Our lips line up exactly when we kiss. I

never have to stand on my toes! On our wedding day, I wore gorgeous ballet fl ats. “Kal” will eventually fi nd a woman who appreciates him for the breadth of his heart and not the length of his body.

DEAR ABBY: It’s all a matter of personal preference. I need to think the man I’m with will be able to protect me if need be. I don’t have that feeling with a short guy. And it doesn’t matter how muscular he is — it’s the height that counts in my mind.

— LIKES LOOKING UP AT THE GUY

DEAR ABBY: You bet a man be-ing tall makes a difference. I’m an average-sized bachelor who works around many attractive women. I get plenty of fl irting and interest, but every time I meet one of my co-workers’ husbands, he’s a tall athletic stud. That’s just the way it goes.

— THE SHORT OF IT IN LONGMONT, COLO.

DEAR ABBY: This may seem shallow, but height does matter to me. I’m a tall woman, and when I date men who are shorter than I am, I feel even bigger. It makes me uncomfortable, which does not make for a good date.

— TALL DRINK OF WATER IN EUGENE, ORE.

DEAR ABBY: Aren’t you aware that the vast majority of females prefer taller men? “Heightism” is

a rampant and virulent prejudice. Even if a guy is an inch or two taller than the woman, he will be consid-ered too short if he isn’t taller than she is when she’s wearing heels.

Women go gaga over the really tall guys. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard them brag about how tall their man happens to be. I have never heard a female boast, “My boyfriend’s only 5 feet 6, but he really is all man.”

— ROLAND IN MAINE

DEAR ABBY: Does height mat-ter? Not a whit! I’m a 6-foot-2-inch guy. The men who catch my eye are in the 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9-inch range, but I certainly don’t draw the line. Shorter guys? Bring ‘em on! (One at a time, though.)

— DON IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR ABBY: No matter how tall or short you are, the most impor-tant thing in a relationship cannot be measured: It’s LOVE.

God hates sin, but He loves you

Q: All my life, I’ve been told that God hates sin, and since I’m a sinner, all I can expect is hell unless I turn my life around. I’ve tried to do that, but I still have a deep fear of God. Is this what God is like? — C.K.

A: It’s true that God hates sin — because every sin is an act of rebellion against Him. The Bible says, “’Do not plot evil.... I hate all this,’ declares the Lord” (Zechariah 8:17).

But God also hates sin be-cause He knows it destroys us — and He doesn’t want that to happen, because He loves us! If you are a parent, you know that your children would be in great danger if you simply ignored them or allowed them to do anything they wanted to do. But you love them and don’t want bad things to happen to them — and because you love them, you give them rules to follow so they won’t get hurt. The same is true with God.

Listen: The most important truth you will ever discover is that God loves you. God doesn’t hate you; He loves you! If God hated you, why would He send His only Son into the world to die on the cross for you? But Jesus Christ did come, and He did die for you — because God loves you. The Bible says, “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifi ce for our sins” (1 John 4:10).

Don’t be a prisoner to fear any longer, but by a simple prayer of faith turn to Jesus Christ and accept the free gift He offers you — the gift of salvation.

Woman brings fake $10,000 bill to Mass. bank

LOWELL, Mass. (AP) — A $10,000 bill? The staff at a Massachusetts bank just wasn’t buy-ing it. The suspicious staffers quickly determined that the bill a woman brought into the Lowell bank was a fake.

Michael Gallagher, risk management director at Enterprise Bank, told The Sun of Lowell that it is believed there are only about 300 $10,000 bills left, and most are in the hands of collectors.

The bank called police, who in turn notifi ed the U.S. Secret Service, the agency that investigates counterfeiting.

Gallagher would not say what kind of transac-tion the woman attempted with the note on Tuesday.

The woman’s name was not released because she has not been charged, but a police spokes-man says she may have mental health issues.

Ohio juror to become witness in assault case

CINCINNATI (AP) — An Ohio juror listening to opening statements in an assault case suddenly announced she saw the alleged beating and had called 911.

The woman was on a 12-person jury in Cincin-nati hearing domestic violence and felonious as-sault charges against 42-year-old James Capell. Najah Johnson-Riddle blurted out Tuesday that she had called 911 after being awakened and seeing a female neighbor being beaten.

The Hamilton County judge declared a mistrial. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported prosecutors plan to call the former juror as a witness in the new trial. Capell has denied the allegations.

Authorities knew an anonymous 911 call had been made but never connected it to the juror.

Jurors were asked personal background ques-tions before being seated.

World’s longest cat — Stewie — measures 4 feet

RENO, Nev. – The world’s longest cat mea-sures more than 4 feet, stealing the record from another Maine Coone. The Reno Gazette-Journal reported that 5-year-old Stewie was certifi ed as the new Guinness World Record holder after measuring 48 1/2 inches from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail bone. That’s a little more than 4 feet long.

The record was previously held by another Maine Coon that measured 48 inches.

Stewie’s owners, Robin Hendrickson and Erik Brandsness, say they decided to try for the record after hearing countless people say they were amazed by Stewie’s length.

Hendrickson said Maine Coons are known as “the gentle giants” of the cat world.

Maine teen saved after being pinned under car

ROCKLAND, Maine (AP) — A high school football team in Maine came up with a big win by rescuing a teammate who was trapped under a car in the school parking lot. Offi cials said John Gerry was riding on the hood of a teammate’s car when he tripped and fell to the ground Friday, with one of the tires ending up on his back.

The Bangor Daily News says about six players from Rockland District High School and a couple of parents tilted the car up, and they held the car there for 20 minutes until an ambulance arrived.

His team gave him the game ball after winning the next day. Gerry, who admits jumping on the hood of his friend’s car was a bad idea, is expected to make a full recovery.

The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers.

n Every row of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order

n Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order

n Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9
