Suspected shooteris charged withattempted murder

From STAFF rEPorTS

A 36-year-old Vance County man was on life support Thursday following a shooting at the home he shared with two others.

Sheriff Peter White said deputies responded at about 1 a.m. Thursday to the home of Rodney Kearney at 42 N.C. 39 Loop Road Lot 44 and found he had been shot in the head with a small caliber rifle. Kearney was taken to Maria Parham Medical Center and later flown to Duke University Medical Center.

White said another resident of the home, Fred Holden, 67, was charged with attempted murder and is being held without bond in the Vance County jail.

No motive has been established for the shooting, White said, but alcohol may have been involved.

Two other people were at the home when the shoot-ing occurred, White said, but they were not involved in the shooting.

They are Ellen Davis, 52 and who also resides at the home, and Willia Harris, 38, of 3956 Chewning Road, Oxford.

Hope VI revitalization project under way

On a drizzly Thursday

morning, but with much enthusiasm, citizens, developers, leaders and officials gathered in a building along South Gar-nett Street for the start of the HOPE VI Main Street Revitalization Project.

“Even though it’s rain-ing outside, it’s sunny in here for us,” City Planning Director Erris Dunston said of the event, which commemorated what is said to be the first ever beginning of a HOPE VI project in the nation.

Dunston was comment-ing about Phase I of the project, which officials have said will provide 12 apartment units in the city center, predominately above existing retail spaces. Phase I is expected to be complete in ap-proximately eight to nine months.

The HOPE VI Main Street program was set up by the federal government. The program provides assistance to smaller com-munities in the develop-ment of affordable housing that is undertaken in con-nection with revitalizing central business districts.

Dunston and Hender-son-Vance Downtown Development Director Phil Lakernick wrote the grant request that resulted in the city receiving $1 mil-lion from the U.S. De-partment of Housing and Urban Development for Phase I.

Dunston traces the origins of the project back 818 days. Dunston and Lakernick were assigned to seek funds for the city center. And she said neither she nor Lakernick

knew what they were doing.

Dunston said when she and Lakernick thought they had completed the grant application on a Friday evening she was phoned by Lakernick about there being two more pages of require-ments due by Monday morning.

And Dunston recalled sitting for approximately five minutes and calling Lakernick back and saying they had to work on the two pages on Saturday and even on Sunday if they had to do so. They

got the application in late Sunday evening with no hopes of receiving the grant.

By October 2007, the $1 million was awarded “and we were ecstatic,” Dunston said.

Dunston said she and Lakernick had no idea how the project was going

to become a reality, but they received assistance from a HUD official, Law-rence Gnessin.

Additionally, Rehab Development, of Winston-Salem and a specialist in restoring old build-ings, was brought in. The company’s list of accom-plishments included the

Senior Center in 2002, the old West End school in 2003 and the Professional Building this past sum-mer, Dunston said.

The total estimated cost for construction of Phase I of HOPE VI is slightly less than $1.5 million.

Dunston additionally read aloud the names of those who have commit-ted to provide the addi-tional funding necessary to complete the project: Brian Paynter of Corner-stone Development; Jason Stewardson of CPNONE;

Phase I will provide 12 apartment units in the city center

WISE – The Wise His-toric Restoration Project moved a dream one step closer to reality on Nov. 7, when Wise-Paschall Ruritan Club members and community support-ers met at the Wise School campus.

The dream is to pre-serve and restore three historic Wise properties:

• The two-story Brick School, which was built around 1904.

• The one-story Frame School, which dates from the 1920s.

• The medical office of Dr. Thomas Holt.

Ernie Fleming, Warren County commissioner and an avid preservationist, chaired the initial meet-ing. Officers of the project will be elected at a future meeting.

Those attending the meeting discussed the importance of saving these three historic properties, which have played signifi-cant roles in the lives of many residents of Warren County and of the Wise community in particular. In addition, project par-ticipants identified initial needs to move forward.

A primary need is to raise funds. To provide an incentive for contribu-tors, Fleming donated a pen-and-ink drawing of the Brick School. He will sign and number a copy for each of the first 200 individuals who donate at least $20 to the project.

Donations of any amount may be sent to the Wise Historic Restora-tion Project, P.O. Box 46, Wise, N.C. 27594. Checks should be made payable to Wise Historic Restoration Project.

Duncan, 17, of 500 Raleigh St., and Jarquise Thorpe, 18, of 104 Westbury Drive.

Wolford said Duncan and Thorpe were booked for having committed a separate act of break-ing and entering along Westbury, which is in the northern part of the city.

Duncan is charged with felony breaking and enter-ing, larceny after breaking and entering and felony possession of stolen goods. And Thorpe is charged with the same offenses as Duncan.

Editor’s note: Wolford, in his statement, did not provide the specific ad-dresses of the arrested per-

sons. The chief, in response to an e-mail request by the Dispatch for those specific addresses, cited what he said are potential ongo-ing investigative issues at specific addresses.

The Dispatch’s policy is to print the specific ad-dresses of persons charged with crimes. And the spe-cific addresses of Evans, Duncan and Thorpe are available on the Supe-rior Court Clerk’s public computer terminals and are part of the county jail’s records.

John B. Bullock

DURHAM — John Burns Bullock, 91, of Durham, left this world for a better one on Thurs-day, November 19, 2009.

John was born in New Haven, Conn., on December 14, 1917, to Marie and Clifton Bullock. His father hailed from Henderson, so eventu-ally the family moved back to North Carolina. John was graduated from North Carolina State University in 1939 with a degree in Electrical Engi-neering. In 1941 he joined the Army and taught at Harvard, instructing young soldiers in commu-nications equipment. He was later ordered to the Philippines to “report to General McArthur” which he did, literally. He left the service as a Major.

He worked for CP&L, now Progress Energy, and for 33 years at RCA, designing microwave communications equip-ment. After retirement, he worked for the Public Broadcasting Station op-erating and maintaining a system he had designed years before.

He was a private pilot

and HAM radio operator. He served as a Presbyte-rian church elder in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

John and his wife moved back to North Carolina, which he always considered his second home, to be near their daughter and her family.

He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Prather Bullock; two daugh-ters, Janet M. Vaught and husband, Larry, of Creedmoor, and Martha C. Carlson, of Raleigh; and three grandchildren, William Vaught, Eliza-beth Vaught, and Sara Vaught.

Beloved husband, father, and grandfather, your toils are over. Thank you for all you taught and did for us. We love you. Go in peace.

A graveside service will be held at Sunset Memo-rial Gardens at 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 21, 2009.

Flowers will be ac-cepted, or memorials may be made to the Alzheim-er’s Association, Eastern North Carolina Chapter, 400 Oberlin Road Suite 220, Raleigh, N.C. 27605; or to Duke Home Care and Hospice, 4321 Medi-cal Park Drive Suite 101, Durham, N.C. 27704.

By ALAN ZIBELap real esTaTe WriTer

WASHINGTON — A ris-ing proportion of fixed-rate home loans made to people with good credit are sinking into foreclosure, adding to concerns about the strength of the economic recovery.

Driven by rising un-employment, such loans accounted for nearly 33 percent of new foreclosures last quarter. That com-pares with just 21 percent a year ago, when high-risk subprime loans made during the housing boom were the main reason for default.

At the same time, the pro-portion of homeowners with a mortgage who were either behind on their payments or in foreclosure hit a record-high for the ninth straight quarter.

The Mortgage Bank-ers Association’s report Thursday suggests the housing market and broader recovery could be thwarted by the continuing surge in home loan defaults, espe-cially as the unemployment rate keeps rising. Lost jobs, rather than the shady loans made during the housing boom, are now the main rea-son homeowners fall behind on their mortgages.

After three years of plunging prices, the housing market started to rebound this summer. While opti-mists hope the worst is over, pessimists say there are

simply too many foreclosed properties that have yet to be dumped on the market and expect further price declines.

About four million homeowners were either in foreclosure or at least three months behind on their mortgage payments as of September, according to the mortgage bankers group. Even if a quarter of those borrowers are able to stay in their homes, “there’s a lot of potential inventory coming into the market next year,”

said Jay Brinkmann, chief economist with the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Those foreclosures will push home prices downward, especially in the hardest-hit California and Florida cities, places that are also coping with soaring unemployment, he said.

The record-high foreclo-sure numbers are being driven by borrowers with traditional fixed-rate mort-gages, rather than the high-risk subprime loans with ad-justable rates that triggered the mortgage crisis.

Subprime loans with adjustable rates have fallen to 16 percent of new foreclo-sures from 35 percent a year earlier.

Loans backed by the Fed-eral Housing Administration also show increasing signs of trouble. More than 18 per-cent of FHA borrowers are at least one payment behind or in foreclosure.

Among states, the worst of the trouble is still concen-trated in California, Nevada, Arizona and Florida, which accounted for 44 percent of new foreclosures in the country. Nearly 13 percent of all loans in Florida were in foreclosure, the highest in the U.S., followed by Nevada at more than 9 percent.

ap phoTo/DaviD Zalubowski

In this May 9, 2008, file pho-to, a foreclosure sign stands outside an existing home on the market in Denver. More than 14 percent of American homeowners with a mort-gage were either behind on their payments or in foreclo-sure at the end of September, a record-high for the ninth straight quarter and a prob-lem that could threaten the economic recovery.

SEATTLE (AP) — Three school districts and a coalition of charter schools have agreed to be test kitchens for some radical ideas for improving teacher quality — from paying new teachers to spending another year practicing before getting their own class to let-ting student test scores affect teacher pay.

In exchange, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is handing them the biggest pile of cash — $335 million — it

has spent on education reform in about a decade.

The grants include $100 million to Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Fla., $90 million to Memphis City Schools, $60 million to a coali-tion of charter school organiza-tions in Los Angeles, and $40 million to Pittsburgh Public Schools.

Proects have a number of central themes. They will focus on teacher training, put the best teachers in the most chal-

lenging classrooms, give the best teachers new roles as men-tors and coaches while keeping them in front of children, make tenure a meaningful milestone, get rid of ineffective teachers, and use money to motivate people and schools to move toward these goals.

VANCE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

GASTONIA (AP) — Friends and family say two North Carolina women whose bodies were dumped miles apart in South Carolina knew each other.Multiple media re-ports Thursday said authori-ties are investigating the slay-ings of both Gastonia women as homicides, but haven’t said the cases are connected.

The York County, S.C., Sheriff’s Office said a badly burned body spotted on Sun-day by a horseback rider in Kings Mountain State Park was that of 30-year-old Randi Dean Saldana. The body of 17-year-old Heather Marie Catterton was discovered three weeks ago about 10 miles away.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s top public defender is taking on a rare challenge: accepting cases of convicted criminals who say they’re innocent but don’t have the DNA to prove it.

The Ohio Public De-fender’s Wrongful Convic-tion Project is one of just a handful of innocence groups nationally devoted full time to non-DNA cases.

The project will review claims of inmates who say they didn’t do it and who

were convicted on such evidence as bite marks, al-leged arson and eyewitness testimony.

State Public Defender Tim Young says the success of DNA exoneration has con-vinced him there are more innocent people behind bars.

Similar projects in New York and Michigan handle only non-DNA cases but few other groups do so. Proving innocence without DNA can mean months or years of investigation.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon said Thursday it will scour its procedures for identifying volatile soldiers hidden in the ranks following the Fort Hood shooting ram-page and lapses that might allow others to slip through bureaucratic cracks.

“It is prudent to determine immediately whether there are internal weaknesses or procedural shortcomings in the department that could make us vulnerable in the future,” Defense Secretary Robert Gates said.

A 45-day emergency investigation will examine personnel, medical, mental health, discharge and other policies in all corners of the vast Defense Department. It will also look at ways to im-prove security and emergency response at Defense Depart-ment facilities.

The quick review will be led by two former Pentagon officials, former Army Secre-tary Togo West and former Navy chief Vernon Clark.

A longer, second review lasting about six months will look at what Gates called “systemic institutional shortcomings.” Gates, who has fired several top officials in three years heading the Pentagon, did not address any possible consequences of the inquiries he announced Thursday.

Gates broached little new information about the case of Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 in the shootings at the Texas military post on Nov. 5.

Gates called it disturb-ing that Hasan has e-mail contact with a radical cleric in Yemen, but stressed that his review is separate from the criminal investigation into Hasan and should not be in-terpreted as a finger-pointing exercise against Muslims or anyone else.

Investigators have said e-mails between Hasan and the imam, Anwar al-Awlaki, did not advocate or threaten violence. After the shootings, al-Awlaki’s Web site praised Hasan as a hero.

Both Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of

the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the chief goal of the Pentagon probe is preventing another such attack and improving future responses by disaster teams.

In 1995, as President Bill Clinton’s Army Secretary, West ordered a review of the Army’s racial climate, includ-ing whether there were ties between extremist groups and members of the military. The investigation was prompted by the arrests of two para-troopers in connection with the murders of two black

people and concerns that the two men may have had ties to white supremacist groups.

Gates would not comment Thursday on whether he con-siders the Fort Hood attack a terrorist act. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., told a Senate hearing that he does, and urged a government in-vestigation “to learn whether the federal government could have acted in a way that would have prevented these murders from occurring.”

A joint terrorism task force overseen by the FBI learned

late last year of Hasan’s re-peated contact with al-Awla-ki, who encouraged Muslims to kill U.S. troops in Iraq. The FBI said the task force did not refer early information about Hasan to superiors because it concluded he wasn’t linked to terrorism.

Hasan’s psychiatry supervisors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center had ex-pressed concerns in May 2007 about what they described as Hasan’s “pattern of poor judgment and lack of profes-sionalism.”

NEW ORLEANS — The federal government could be vulnerable to billions of dollars in claims after a judge ruled that the Army Corps of Engineers’ failure to properly maintain a navigation channel led to massive flooding in Hur-ricane Katrina.

U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval on Wednesday awarded seven plaintiffs $720,000, but the government could eventu-ally be forced to pay much more. The ruling should give more than 100,000 other individuals, busi-nesses and government entities a better shot at claiming damages.

Duval sided with six residents and one busi-ness who argued the Army Corps’ shoddy oversight of the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet led to the flooding of New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward and neighboring St. Bernard Parish. He said, however, the corps couldn’t be held liable for the flooding of eastern New Orleans, where two of

the plaintiffs lived.The ruling is also

emotionally resonant for south Louisiana. Many in New Orleans have argued that the flooding in the af-termath of Katrina, which struck the region Aug. 29, 2005, was a manmade di-saster caused by the Army Corps’ failure to maintain

the levee system protect-ing the city.

Duval referred to the corps’ approach to main-taining the channel as “monumental negligence.”

Joe Bruno, one of the lead lawyers for the plain-

tiffs said he expected the government to appeal.

The corps referred calls seeking comment to the Justice Department. Spokesman Charles Miller said the government would review the judge’s ruling before making any decision on how to proceed.

During trial testimony, government lawyers and experts argued the levee system was overwhelmed by the massive storm, and levee breaches couldn’t solely be blamed on the shipping channel dug in the 1960s as a short-cut between the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans.

The corps had also unsuccessfully argued that it is immune from liability because the channel is part of New Orleans’ flood control system.

Pierce O’Donnell, another lead plaintiffs lawyer, said the ruling was the “first time ever the Army Corps has been held liable for damages for a major catastrophe that it caused.”

Negligence ruling in Katrina floods

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The holidays may not be so sweet this year.

Nestle — which sells nearly all the canned pump-kin in the U.S. — says poor weather hurt its harvest, creating a potential short-age of its Libby’s pumpkin pie products through the holidays.

In a statement to cus-tomers this week, Nestle said heavy rains made it nearly impossible to pick its pumpkins during this year’s harvest.

The longer the pumpkins sit in the muddy fields, the more they deteriorate. As a result, Nestle said this week that it would not pack any more pumpkins this year, which means it may be hard to find its canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie filling product until next year’s harvest.

Nestle is the largest national brand for canned pumpkin products, with 80 to 90 percent of the market, the company said.

It plants a special strain of pumpkin at a farm in Morton, Ill., which provides nearly all its products. If you turned all the pumpkins on its farm to pie, it would

total 90 million pies, Nestle spokeswoman Roz O’Hearn said.

The company had a wet harvest last year, too, which meant it didn’t have a surplus to carry over into this year and led to spotty shortages in late summer and early fall. The harvest started in August and it began getting products on its shelves soon after, but it won’t be able to meet its normal demand.

“Now it’s America’s turn, and this will not be a short debate. Higher premiums, tax increases and Medicare cuts to pay for more government. The American people know that is not reform.” — Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., after Majority Leader Harry Reidunveiled legislation to extend health care coverage to 30 million more Americans and force insurancecompanies to take all comers, including those with pre-existing conditions.

“President Karzai has not done too well in the past four years. I hope he can perform better in the future. In this country if you want a good job you have to pay a bribe to get it. Maybe he can stop that.” — Sher Mohamad, a taxi driver, after Hamid Karzai took the oath of office for a second five-year term in Afghanistan.

“We didn’t come halfway across the world for ticker-tape parades. We came here to lay a foundation for progress. We’ve done that.” — Senior Obama adviser David Axelrod, at the conclusion of the president’s first trip to Asia as chief executive.

In what is indisputably a sign of the times, many American Christmas-shoppers who don’t carry cash can now donate to the familiar Salvation Army kettle drive with plastic.

The News & Observer of Raleigh has reported that The Salvation Army’s Wake County chapter has joined a few others across the state in experimenting with kettles that not only accept bills and coins dropped through the old-fashioned slot, but that also can accept a donor’s credit or debit card. North Carolina’s progressive chapters join chapters from Colorado, Texas and Wisconsin in the up-to-date endeavor. A year ago, Salvation Army chapters in those states decided they had to respond to the modern trend of shoppers who increasingly pay for their holiday shopping with plastic.

The move makes perfect sense. Even a decade or two ago, many families would go to the bank, cash out the “Christmas fund” and go to the mall or local stores with wallets or purses bulging with bills. Staging outside the most popular stores was a perfect opportu-nity for a worthy charity — and the Salva-tion Army is among the most worthy — to catch a shopper’s attention and benefit from the change that was left from those major purchases, whether that donation came in nickels and dimes or $1s, $5s and $10s.

But it just doesn’t make sense to carry cash anymore. Not only does doing so turn a happy holiday shopper into a target for robbery, it’s just less convenient. Even if you don’t want to charge your way to a merry Christmas (and really, we shouldn’t), just be-ing able to debit your purchases straight out of the checking account with one little swipe and a quick punching of numbers makes the stressful holiday shopping process much easier.

But it had to be costing the Salvation Army in a big way.

We’re glad to see that the charity is learn-ing to adapt, and we’ll be sure to donate in this new fashion when card-swiping kettles come to Henderson, too.

Organ musicWe got it in the early ’70s: a Kimball or-

gan that sat in our living room for 20 years or more.

It had single buttons that played whole chords. Other buttons played cymbals, ma-rimba and other rhythmic beats.

I spent hours playing the thing. My father, too — his fingers are so big he had trouble playing just one key at a time — played it often.

And at family gather-ings, my mother and her siblings would stand around it for hours, singing holiday tunes and other well-known standards.

I had no idea then how technological innovation made our living-room organ possible.

Harvey Olsen, a retired electrical engi-neer, electronics instructor and organ ex-pert, told me the history of the home organ.

In 1933, Lawrence Hammond, an inven-tor and high-end clock maker, got into the organ business. His goal was to produce a mechanical instrument that replicated the sound of a pipe organ.

Hammond’s very first organs consisted of spinning wheels — tone generators — and lots of other electromechanical parts. The machines were extremely well built and many are still functioning today.

By the mid-1950s, however, organ mak-ers began replicating the organ sound with lower-cost vacuum-tube technology — tubes that looked and acted like light bulbs. It was much less costly to create tones electroni-

cally than with lots of mechanical parts.

By the late ’60s, vacuum tubes gave way to even-lower-cost transistor technology. The transistors were small, inexpensive and reliable. They enabled the develop-ment of compact integrated circuit boards — the electronic gizmos made it possible to produce more sophisticated sounds, such as a marimba beat.

They also allowed organs to be produced cheaply.

And so it was that the ’60s and early ’70s became the heyday of the home organ. Ham-mond, a high-end organ maker, soon found competition from low-cost producers, such as Lowrey, Thomas and Kimball.

Every mall had an organ store staffed with organ-playing sales representatives. They seduced thousands of suburban dads, such as mine, into digging into their wallets to bring organ music into their living rooms — something that had been unimaginable to my father as he grew up during the De-pression years.

To be sure, our old Kimball organ brought us many hours of amusement. As sophisti-cated as we thought it was in the ’70s, we would have been shocked had we known what organs could do by 2009.

Digital technology has revolutionized the organ, as it has everything else. Today, for

significantly less than my father paid for our Kimball in the ’70s, a fellow can buy a digi-tal organ that produces incredible sounds.

If you’re traveling in Europe and come across a pipe organ in a medieval church, you can probably buy a “sampling” software program that allows you to reproduce its exact sound in your living room.

In any event, we’ve had so much techno-logical innovation in America that we take it for granted, but we do so at our own peril.

The fact is, innovators and entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of our economy. We need their inventions, many of them not yet known, to resolve a multitude of challenges we face — to produce the wealth we need to cover our bills.

Government spending is tying up needed capital and a proposed increase in capital gains taxes will only punish success and inhibit investment in new ideas. Shouldn’t the government do everything possible to unleash innovation — rather than quell it?

Where America’s innovators and entre-preneurs are concerned, can’t we strike a better chord?

Mrs. Mazie ain’t playin’ with a possumEditor’s note: Once again,

some names and circumstances in this “inspired by real events” story of rural life have been changed to entertain, and to protect … well … ever’body but the critter.

Mrs. Mazie was fixing break-fast for Jonas the morning the visitor arrived.

Forty-seven years married, Jonas still savored Mrs. Mazie’s breakfast of fatback biscuits and eggs, which she prepared daily in their old tenant house on Creeky Way.

As customary, Jonas peered over his morning crossword puzzle, chuckling at the puffi-ness rimming Mrs. Mazie’s eyes, as well as the red lipstick she deemed more crucial to apply than combing through her wave of disorderly silver ringlets, mat-ted with pink and yellow Velcro curlers.

While Mrs. Mazie nudged the streak o’ lean, which sizzled with the spatula’s touch, Jonas reached for a steaming sip of coffee.

Moments later, crossword complete and breakfast practi-cally prepared, Jonas heaved from his chair and hobbled toward the medicine cabinet for his morning’s pills. Mrs. Mazie pointed at his wooden cane, rest-ing against the old oak buffet, nodding for Jonas to clutch it for support.

Reunited with his cane, Jonas returned to the table and Mrs. Mazie returned her attention to the fatback-filled skillet.

That’s when the visitor started a’knocking.

Mrs. Mazie, alerted by the sound of shuffling and bumping in her cubby of a kitchen, as-

sumed such noise arose from an impatient Jonas, eager for his early meal.

And so, Mrs. Mazie continued her cooking, paying little mind to the background noise that

fought for dominion over the crackling of fried fat.

But as the shuffling and bump-ing ampli-fied, Mrs. Mazie grew possessed with irrita-tion.

“Hush that racket,

Jonas!” she hollered, not turning to notice that a confused Jonas stood motionless by the table.

Mrs. Mazie’s plump arm wiped the small beads of perspi-ration forming over her top lip, as she mumbled her favorite few choice words.

A dull rumble jarred Mrs. Mazie, as she lowered her arm and beat the skillet with her spatula, popping drops of grease onto her apron.

“Jonas, I tell you, hush! Don’t be rushing me!” she scowled with frustration.

Dumbfounded by Mrs. Mazie, as well as the undeclared noise, Jonas shook his head and grad-ually collapsed into his chair.

A few moments of silence fol-lowed, and Mrs. Mazie opened the overhead cabinets, grabbing a few plates.

A rattle turned to a crash, nearly causing her to drop the plates. Mrs. Mazie jerked straight in the direction of Jonas.

But before his wife could scold him again, Jonas lifted his cane, waving an interruption.

“Haish!” he quarrled. “It ain’t me!”

As Mrs. Mazie stared at the motionless Jonas, and as the crash erupted yet another time, her widened eyes fixed on her husband — her longtime protec-tor. With a paling face, she whis-pered, “Well then, what is it?”

The noise silenced.The round-rumped Mrs.

Mazie shuffled toward Jonas, her slippered feet brushing the floor until a loud thud froze her stiff.

And with that, Jonas lifted his cane, pointing towards a cabinet beneath the sink from where the noise had emerged.

“That’s where it be …” he trailed, and both husband and wife watched the wobble of cabinet doors, swinging, until a small, whiskered nose emerged.

Mrs. Mazie gasped as two dark eyes met hers, and as the gray furred head returned inside the cabinet, it’s door shut with a thud.

“Jonas! It’s a possum!” she screamed.

What followed was pure frenzy.

And some animal activists would call it murder.

Jonas, a few years Mrs. Mazie’s elder and a victim to near blindness, hobbled towards the back bedroom, where hid his shotgun from younger, huntin’ years.

Mrs. Mazie, left alone in the kitchen save the possum perpe-trator, hastily shuffled behind Jonas.

“What are you gonna do?” Mrs. Mazie cried, more fearful of Jonas with a gun than of facing

that possum alone.“I’m gonna shoot the darn

thing!” Jonas hollered, his cane clicking as it darted against walls and floor. He finally reached the gun rack, locked in the bedroom closet.

The firearm fight that fol-lowed was not the likes of the movies — nor was it really that much of a struggle.

The plump, lipstick wearing Mrs. Mazie grabbed a hold of Jonas’ caned arm, knocking the pillar from his grasp. The old man, wobbling and spitting his own streak of choice words, sur-rendered as Mrs. Mazie claimed the prize.

With the shotgun now in her possession, she shuffled back to the kitchen, where possum and fatback awaited.

Mrs. Mazie had two choices — and a decision that must be made fast. Knowing Jonas would not rest until the possum had met judgment, she knew either Jonas had to go, or else the possum had to go, because Jonas’d probably kill them all, including himself, trying to shoot that possum dead.

And so a decision was made. A couple of shots blasted through the old tenant house on Creeky Way …

Jonas lived to be a few years older.

Mrs. Mazie patched up the hole in her kitchen floor and the sink cabinet.

And an odd tasting meat was served with fatback biscuits and eggs the next morning.

Pneumonia saidbiggest killer of children under five

By MARGIE MASONap meDical WriTer

HANOI, Vietnam — Diarrhea doesn’t make headlines. Nor does pneu-monia. AIDS and malaria tend to get most of the attention.

Yet even though cheap tools could prevent and cure both diseases, they kill an estimated 3.5 mil-lion kids under 5 each a year globally — more than HIV and malaria com-bined.

“They have been ne-glected, because donor or partnership mechanisms shifted their emphasis to HIV and AIDS and other issues,” said Dr. Tesfaye Shiferaw, a UNICEF official in Africa. “These age-old traditional killers remain with us. The ones dying are the children of the poor.”

Global spending on ma-ternal, newborn and child health was about $3.5 bil-lion in 2006, according to a report by the Bill & Me-linda Gates Foundation. That same year, nearly $9 billion was devoted to HIV

and AIDS, according to UNAIDS.

Pneumonia is the biggest killer of children under 5, claiming more then 2 million lives annu-ally or about 20 percent of all child deaths. AIDS, in contrast, accounts for about two percent.

If identified early, pneumonia can be treated with inexpensive antibiot-ics. Yet UNICEF and the World Health Organiza-tion estimate less than 20 percent of those sickened receive the drugs.

A vaccine has been available since 2000 but has not yet reached many children in developing countries. The GAVI Alli-ance, a global partnership, hopes to introduce it to 42 countries by 2015.

Diarrheal diseases, such as cholera and rotavirus, kill 1.5 million kids each year, most under 2 years old. The children die from dehydration, weakened immune systems and mal-nutrition. Often they get sick from drinking dirty water.

The worst cholera outbreak to hit Africa in 15 years killed more than 4,000 people in Zimbabwe last year. The country re-cently reported new cases of the waterborne disease, and more are expected as

the rainy season peaks and sewers overflow.

Rotavirus, a highly contagious disease spread through contaminated hands and surfaces, is the top cause of severe diar-rhea, accounting for more than a half million child deaths a year.

A vaccine routinely giv-en to children in the U.S. and Europe is expected to reach 44 poorer countries by 2015 through the GAVI Alliance.

“Every child in the United States gets it, even though they have access to clean water and hygiene,” said John Wecker, of the Program for Appropriate Technology in Health, a Seattle-based nonprofit that is part of the vaccine alliance. “The only effective way to prevent these deaths is through vaccination.”

Diarrheal diseases received more attention in the 1980s and 1990s, he said, but interest has waned or been diverted elsewhere, allowing them

to creep back.“How did the leading

killers end up at the bot-tom of the global health agenda? I don’t know,” Wecker said at a recent GAVI meeting in Ha-noi. “We’ve got the tools. We’re not looking for the next technological break-through. It’s here now and it’s not being used.”

Death can often be prevented by giving children fluid replace-ment, a simple recipe of salt and sugar mixed with clean water to help ward off dehydration. Yet 60 percent of children with diarrhea never receive the concoction, according to a WHO and UNICEF report released last month.

“It is so preventable,” said Dr. Richard Cash, a Harvard University expert who helped develop the oral rehydration therapy 40 years ago. “Preventing the deaths is at the very least what we should be striving for.”

10A The Daily DispaTch LocaL News FriDay, November 20, 2009

Tom and Letha Anderson of Mostly Handcrafted; and Lauren Inscoe and Kelly Broadwell of Inscoe Properties.

Dunn & Dalton of Kinston are the architects.

And Dunston recalled, “We were crazy enough to write an-other grant,” which resulted in a notice in September 2008 of $1 million coming from HUD for Phase II.

And Dunston said plans are to request more HUD funding at the start of next year for a third phase.

Dunston cited unity as the

key factor in the successes.“It really takes a team to

do this,” said Ed Lipsky, presi-dent of Rehab Development.

“We are all pioneers,” Lip-sky said in citing the unique-ness of the project.

Stewardson, who addition-ally chairs the Downtown Development Commission, said he believes the hard part of the project is past.

“We’ve been to the moon. And now it’s time to turn around and come back,” Stew-ardson said.

Mayor Pete O’Geary could

not attend for personal rea-sons, but City Manager Ray Griffin read aloud a statement from the city’s chief executive saying, “This is indeed a red letter day for Henderson.”

Mayor Pro Tem Lonnie Davis said, “We need to stress the things that we do that are very, very positive in the city of Henderson. And this is one of those things.”

Davis said, “People talk about a lot of negative things that’s going on. Well, you tell me a place there aren’t nega-tive things going on.”

Davis said, “This is a project which is really worthwhile. And tell your friends and neighbors about it.”

City Councilwoman Mary Emma Evans, in whose ward the project is located, said that with revitalization and redevel-opment efforts, “We will make Henderson a more beautiful place, provide safe, decent housing and improve the qual-ity of life for our citizens.”

And Evans said, “With these improvements, we hope that those who have not yet decided to call Henderson

home will be so impressed that you will come back and bring your family and your vision with you.”

Thursday’s event was held in a structure that is owned by Paynter and that serves as a Pilates and yoga studio.

Griffin noted the presence of the senior center, which is across the street, new restau-rants along the street and a new yarn shop soon to open next door.

“And, in the not-too-distant future, you’re going to hear the roar of passenger trains

coming through at a high speed, stopping here, connect-ing us with Washington, D.C., Raleigh, Charlotte and Atlanta and points beyond,” Griffin said.

“That’s going to mean one huge booster shot for down-town Henderson and Vance County and our region,” Grif-fin said.

City Councilman Michael

Inscoe recalled Henderson’s central business district being quite a vibrant place as far back as his childhood.

Inscoe, 60, who grew up in the city, on Thursday morning told the Dispatch about going into the heart of Vance County every Saturday morning with

his father, who was in the construction business.

Inscoe said that there were several building supply houses located right around the city center and that his father would visit friends.

“And, of course, I would get into all sorts of mischief as a

young kid,” Inscoe recalled with a smile.

And Inscoe said that, when he was later a student at Hen-derson High School, he and his fellow students in the afternoon would head down Garnett Street to what was Page’s drug-store and soda fountain.

“And that was kind of the local teenager hangout,” Inscoe said.

And Inscoe recalled the cen-tral business district once being

the location of a pool hall.“Had great hot dogs,” he

said.The central business

district began suffering from the decline of big tobacco and the textile industry, plus the shifting of commerce closer to the Interstate 85/Dabney Drive interchange.

Inscoe was one of a group of officials on hand Thursday morning for the start of the HOPE VI Main Street Revi-

talization Project to convert obsolete or vacant upper floors of buildings in the city center into apartments.

Included in the project are Inscoe’s two daughters, Kelly Broadwell and Lauren Inscoe, who own Inscoe Properties.

A city application for a federal grant for the project was submitted in August 2007, before Michael Inscoe was elected to the council. And he has continued to abstain from

voting on the project while on the council.

Still, the councilman, who is a consultant, is looking forward to seeing new development in the central business district. He noted that he and his wife eat at a restaurant that opened last year just up Garnett.

And when asked by the Dispatch about whether he believes the city center can once again be a lively place, he said, “I think it can be, yes.”

dear abby

DEAR ABBY: I’m 32 and a “large girl.” I am also intelligent, witty and fun to be around. I make friends wherever I go. The problem is my mother — who is also big — keeps telling me that heavy women are not desir-able and we must “settle” when it comes to choosing a mate.

My mother has had two long, unhappy marriages. She’s always saying I think too highly of myself and my standards for men are out of my reach.

Abby, I would rather remain single than marry someone I’m not happy with just to have a man. I’m not looking for a movie star; I just want to find someone I’m attracted to and who has the same values and ideals that I have.

Is Mother right? Am I setting my sights too high? — HAPPY BEING ME IN MASSACHUSETTS

DEAR HAPPY BEING YOU: I don’t think so. If you want to achieve the same level of satisfaction in your life that your mother has, then follow her roadmap. However, if you want more, then cross your fingers and keep looking.

Meeting “The One” is a matter of putting yourself out there, and luck and timing. There are worse things than being alone, and having two long and unhappy marriages ranks right up there. Just look at your mother.

DEAR ABBY: A year

ago, my boss was diagnosed with cancer. She had major surgery and a round of radia-tion therapy. Last week, her doctor discovered a mass, and after biopsy, she may be going in for more surgery.

I am finding it difficult to show much empathy for my boss. Despite having had the disease she continues to live an unhealthy lifestyle. She still smokes, has a couple of drinks a day and eats a lot

of red meat. I don’t drink or smoke and I’m a vegetarian, so I can’t understand why a person would risk her health by doing these things.

We have received several newsletters at work from our insurance provider on how to prevent cancer, but she hasn’t taken any of the advice. Abby, it’s not like I have come right out and said, “It’s your own fault,” but it’s frustrating to listen to her problems when she won’t try to live a healthy lifestyle. She’s generally whiny to begin with, and now she seems to want ev-eryone to feel sorry for her.

What do I need to do to be more sympathetic? — TRY-ING IN TEMPE

DEAR TRYING: You don’t know what caused your boss’s cancer and nei-ther do I. Some people who live a healthy lifestyle get cancer anyway — and that includes teetotalling, non-smoking vegetarians. Please try to remember that — and then think about karma. If you do, it may help you become more sympathetic and less judgmental.

DEAR ABBY: I was with a group of friends at a sports bar discussing the baseball playoffs when the owner of the bar made a racist com-ment about the game. I was so shocked and offended that I said nothing for the rest of the evening.

Later, I told my friends I was disappointed in myself for not speaking up — that when someone makes a comment like he did and you let it go, you’re condon-ing that type of behavior. My friends said they just “considered the source” and I should not have been of-fended. How should we have handled this? — SECOND THOUGHTS IN FLORIDA

DEAR SECOND THOUGHTS: If the com-ment was offensive, you were right to be offended -- regardless of “the source.” The way to punish an ignorant bigot such as you described would be to hit him in the wallet. A way to have done that would have been for all of you to leave and tell him why. And an-other would be for all of you to spread the word about the incident.

Dear

abbyUniversal Press

NEW YORK — San Fran-cisco Giants ace Tim Lincecum won the NL Cy Young Award on Thursday for the second straight year, emerging from one of the tightest votes in the history of the honor to become the first repeat winner since Randy Johnson.

The wiry right-hander, nicknamed “The Freak” for his giant stride, needed only 15 victories to earn the award — the fewest for a Cy Young starter over a non-shortened season.

Lincecum led the NL with 261 strikeouts and tied for the league lead with four complete games and two shutouts.

Only 10 points sepa-rated the top three vote-getters. Chris Carpenter was second and St. Louis teammate Adam Wain-wright finished third despite getting the most first-place votes.

The 2009 honors for Lince-cum and Kansas City Royals ace Zack Greinke reflect a recent shift in how voters pick baseball’s best pitchers. Wins, losses and ERA used to de-termine the Cy Young Award winner — now it’s detailed statistics such as WHIP, FIP and BABIP.

Greinke equaled the previ-ous low of 16 wins for a non-shortened season when he won the AL award on Tuesday.

“It’s turned into a game of complete numbers and statistics and what people do with that,” Lincecum said. “So I mean just to put more options in the voters’ heads about what’s supposed to be more important, which takes priority over another, that’s all based on opinion.”

Lincecum is facing misde-meanor marijuana charges stemming from a traffic stop in his home state of Wash-ington on Oct. 30. No ques-tions were allowed about the incident in his conference call after winning the award but he did acknowledge making a mistake and apologized in a prepared statement.

Kerr-Vance’s wrestling team split their tri-match with High Point Wesleyan and Ravenscroft Thursday night. The Spartans were defeated by Wesleyan 45-36, but won over Ravenscroft 48-33.

KVA trailed by three points against Wesleyan going into the final match, but Wesleyan got the pin of Daniel Currin to seal

the win.“To be three points out going

into the final match, I was happy with (that),” said KVA coach Rick Frampton. “I thought we wrestled with heart tonight. I don’t think we gave anything up. I think we tried.”

KVA’s Josh Smith went the distance with Ravenscroft’s Aus-tin Hill at the 152-pound match, falling in a 7-0 decision.

Northern and Southern Vance met in the pool for the second straight day Thursday, getting a lot accomplished in the young season.

Northern’s boys and girls took first place in the meet at the Aycock Rec Center, which also featured Franklinton and Bunn. Southern took second in both boys’ and girls’ meets, and Franklinton and Bunn were third and fourth, respectively, in both meets.

Both local squads saw swim-mers meet regional consider-ation times. Southern’s Cam-eron Drive will be considered in the 500-yard free. His time of 6:08.19 was not only good enough for first, but broke the school record.

Southern’s girls’ 200 medley relay and 200 free relay teams reached regional consider-ation times. Bethanie Mahl’s 50 free time of 28.80 will give her consideration. The boys’ 200 medley and 200 free relay teams met consideration times as well.

“(I’m) very excited about where we are at right now with our times, ahead of where we expected to be,” said Southern coach Chris Leas. “Surprised and pleased, especially with how they responded to swim-ming in back-to-back meets.”

For Northern, the girls’ 200 medley relay team, the 200 free relay and the 400 free relay will be considered, along with the boys’ 200 medley relay, 200 free relay and 400 free relay.

Northern coach Natasha Rubin said her team had an “awesome meet.”

“(They did an) awesome job cheering and supporting one another, and stepping up to swim hard and stay focused even through being tired,” she said.

Crossroads Christian kept the score close early against Lighthouse Christian Thursday, but the Eagles’ guard play was too much for the Colts to handle.

Crossroads trailed by only eight after the first period before the Light-house backcourt put it in overdrive and scored a 98-41 win.

“They have extremely quick guards,” said Colts coach John Ander-son.

Devin Masone paced the Eagles with 32 points and Rob Wilde had 21, with six 3-pointers.

“I think last year he scored 40 something against us,” Anderson said of Masone. “Fortunately, he wasn’t shooting many 3’s tonight. He’s so quick.”

Jeremy Grainger had a big night inside for Crossroads, leading the team with 18 points. Thad McCleland

had 10 and Jacob Campbell chipped in with six.

Grainger opened the game’s scor-ing with a close-range shot down low, plus a free throw conversion on a foul. Grainger converted another three-point play to cut the lead to 14-6.

Anderson said he wants to get Grainger even more involved in the post.

“In the past, we’ve had difficulties getting it down to him,” Anderson said. “Jeremy has an extremely soft touch for a big guy.”

A basket by Campbell narrowed the gap to 22-14 at the end of the first.

“We gave them a good headstart with all the turnovers and not han-dling the ball. We did control a little bit and we did make some gains,” said Anderson.

The Colts were without starting guard Cody Matthews, forcing Ander-

Missed free throws cost the Crossroads Christian girls in regulation.

But made free throws iced the game in double overtime of the Colts’ 65-58 win over Lighthouse Christian Thursday.

Eight of Crossroads’ 12 points in the second overtime came at the charity stripe.

Morgan Davis gave the Colts a 59-58 lead at the line with 1:12 remaining, before two Britney Anderson free throws put the game out of reach in the final 30 seconds.

“If we hit free throws at the end of regulation and the first overtime, we would have won both of them,” said Crossroads coach John Anderson. “We had

plenty of opportunities to win the game on free throws and then at the end, we finally did.”

Britney Anderson led the Colts with 21 points. Elizabeth McAuslan had 19, Davis and Katie Sumner each had 11 and Albrie Tucker had three.

Lighthouse got off to hot starts in both OTs, but Cross-roads responded each time. An inside score from Sumner tied the game with 2:09 left before two free throws from Anderson gave the Colts a 58-56 lead.

“At a certain point, I told the girls they needed to drive and get to the foul line,” said Ander-son.

Crossroads held a 53-51 lead late in the first overtime, but the Eagles’ Erica Vidal scored

Pack, Cavs collide

By JEFF LATZKEAP SPortS Writer

STILLWATER, Okla. — Third-string quarterback Brandon Weeden threw for 168 yards and two touchdowns in the second half, leading No. 12 Okla-homa State back from an 11-point deficit for a 31-28 win against Colorado on Thursday night.

With starter Zac Rob-inson injured and backup Alex Cate ineffective, Weeden took over in the second half and got the offense going for the Cow-boys (9-2, 6-1 Big 12).

His 28-yard touchdown pass to Justin Blackmon with 8:11 remaining proved to be the winner, keeping pressure on No. 3 Texas in the Big 12 cham-pionship race. The Long-horns would have clinched the Big 12 South with an OSU loss.

Colorado got out to a 21-10 lead against the one-di-

mensional Cowboys before Weeden finally provided a viable passing threat. He went 10 for 15 and threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to Keith Toston.

The Buffaloes (3-8, 2-5) had one final chance to go for the win after stuffing OSU on fourth-and-short for the third time in the game with 3:14 remaining but decided to punt after Tyler Hansen threw three straight incomplete passes. The Cowboys, the Big 12’s top rushing team, ran the final 2:45 off the clock.

Oklahoma State wore black uniforms for the first time since 1994 — a miserable 3-7-1 season — and they didn’t seem to be a good luck charm in the team’s first Thursday night home game since 1995.

Cate, who had attempt-ed only five passes in his career, started in Robin-son’s place but went 0-for-9 with an interception in the first half — and it could

have been worse. Colorado players had chances for at least two more picks, but let the ball slip through their hands.

Weeden, a 26-year-old, came on in relief and con-nected on his first pass before throwing three straight incompletions for a three-and-out. When he completed back-to-back passes on OSU’s third drive of the third quarter, the crowd of 50,080 let out Bronx cheers.

Two plays later, Toston finished that drive with a 45-yard touchdown run through a huge hole on the right side of the line to cut the deficit to 21-17.

Colorado had a chance to stretch its lead, but Aric Goodman’s 50-yard field goal try caromed off the right upright and coach Dan Hawkins then opted to go for it on fourth-and-3 from the 29-yard line in-stead of sending Goodman out to try a 46-yard kick.

No. 18 Dayton 63, No. 21 Ga. Tech 59 SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico

(AP) — Sophomore guard Paul Williams scored seven of his 13 points in the final minute, including a go-ahead 3-pointer, in No. 18 Dayton’s 63-59 win over No. 21 Georgia Tech in the opening game of the O’Reilly Auto Parts Puerto Rico Tip-Off on Thursday.

Chris Johnson scored 19 points for Dayton (2-0), going 4 for 8 from behind the 3-point line, and Luke Fabrizius added 12 points.

The Yellow Jackets (1-1) trailed the Flyers 31-22 at the half, but rallied with a string of dunks and layups by Derrick Favors and Gani Lawal.

A 3-pointer by Brian Oliver gave the Yellow Jackets their first lead of the second half at 49-47 and a layup by Zachery Peacock on an offensive

rebound with 4:37 to play gave them a 57-50 lead.

The energetic Flyers came back on Johnson’s outside shooting, and Wil-liams, a reserve, sealed the victory with his key 3 and by going 4 for 4 from the free throw line down the stretch. Dayton got 47 points from its backups.

Favors and Maurice Miller led Georgia Tech with 10 points apiece. La-wal had eight rebounds in helping the Yellow Jackets outrebound Dayton 34-26.

In the first half, Dayton took control with an 8-0 run capped by Chris Wright’s breakaway dunk that gave the Flyers a 30-20 lead three minutes before the break. Fabrizius hit two 3-pointers during the run.

The Flyers had 22 turn-overs, but also scored 27 points off 26 Georgia Tech turnovers.

Miami 74, Tulane 54CHARLESTON, S.C.

(AP) — Dwayne Collins had 23 points and 14 re-bounds as Miami overpow-ered Tulane 74-54 Thurs-day in the first round of the Charleston Classic.

Collins made all eight of his shots from the field, and eight of his rebounds came on the offensive end.

The Hurricanes (3-0) broke away in the second half with a 19-4 run. They advanced to play the Penn State-UNC Wilmington winner.

Kris Richard scored 13 points for Tulane (0-2).

Virginia 79, Rider 46CHARLOTTESVILLE,

Va. (AP) — Mike Scott had 17 points and eight rebounds Thursday night, leading Virginia to a 79-46 victory against Rider in the Cancun Challenge.

The Cavaliers (2-1)

held Rider to 33.3 percent shooting (17-for-51), end-ing a fast start to the sea-son that saw the Broncs (2-1) average 87 points in beating Mississippi State and Lehigh.

Scott had 13 points in the first half, which ended with Virginia ahead 36-22.

The Cavaliers used a 14-3 run to start the second half to stretch the margin to 50-25 with 15 minutes left. The Broncs never got any closer.

Sammy Zeglinski added 12 points and Jeff Jones 11 for the Cavaliers.

The Broncs, who arrived with three players averag-ing 17.5 points or more, got nine points from Ryan Thompson, 8.5 below his average. Mike Ringgold had eight, more than 15 below his average, and No-var Gadson had just three, 17 off his norm. Brandon Penn scored 10.

NEW YORK — Deon Thompson had 15 points and 12 rebounds and No. 6 North Carolina managed to hold on for a 77-73 victory over No. 15 Ohio State in the 2K Sports Classic semifi-nals on Thursday night.

The Tar Heels (4-0), who led by 19 points with 10:23 to play, will face Syracuse, which beat No. 13 Califor-nia 95-73, in Friday night’s championship game of the tournament that benefits Coaches vs. Cancer.

North Carolina coach Roy Williams hadn’t been overly pleased with the Tar Heels’ play in their three double-digit victories, including ones over Florida Interna-tional and North Carolina Central, to advance to New York.

He couldn’t find much to be upset with early against Ohio State (2-1) as the defending national cham-pions — only one starter returned from the team that beat Michigan State in April — were in charge for most of the game.

The Buckeyes finally started hitting from the outside at the same time the Tar Heels starting missing free throws, and Ohio State

was within 75-73 on a 3 by Jon Diebler with 11 seconds left. Larry Drew II, who missed four of his previous six free throws in the final minute, then made two from the line with 11 seconds left for the final margin.

Evan Turner, who had a triple-double in Ohio State’s opening win over Alcorn State with 14 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists,

matched that feat against the Tar Heels but it was a lot different as he finished with 23 points, 11 rebounds and 10 turnovers.

The 6-foot-7 junior swing-man, who had 17 rebounds in each of the first two games, couldn’t go anywhere on the court without Marcus Ginyard, North Carolina’s defensive specialist who missed most of last season

with a stress fracture in his left foot.

Turner’s time was limited as well by foul trouble, and his second personal was an offensive drawn by Ginyard.

Ohio State chipped away at the lead and were finally within single digits when David Lighty scored on a drive that made it 68-60 with 2:09 to go. Ginyard hit a 3 with the shot clock winding down to make it 71-60 with 1:36 to go, but the Buckeyes finally hit from the outside as William Buford and Lighty hit 3s as Drew struggled at the line.

Will Graves had 14 points for North Carolina, and Drew finished with 11 points and eight assists and was 6 of 10 from the line Diebler had 17 points for Ohio State, which finished 6 of 21 from 3-point range after going 1 of 10 in the first half. The Tar Heels had the lead to 10 points within the first 6 minutes, and it reached 16 points three times, the first at 29-13 on a 3-pointer by Ginyard with 5:40 left in the half.

Ohio State missed its first nine 3-point attempts, and the Buckeyes finished 1 of 10 from beyond the arc and shot just 29 percent (9 for 31) overall in falling behind 38-24 at the half.

No. 5 Villanova defeats George Mason on late shot

Williams leads Dolphins past Panthers

“Although he lost — and he doesn’t want to lose — he didn’t give up one more point at the end of the third period, which would have given them four team points instead of three,” said Frampton.

“You never know, that cold be the difference at the end.”

KVA took the lead on a forfeit win in the next match, and never lost the lead against the Ravens.

Colton Tabbert had an impressive night for KVA wrestling at the 189-pound level. After pinning his Wesleyan opponent with 25.7 seconds left in the second period, Tabbert pinned Ravenscroft’s Thomas Schieman less than 30 seconds into the match.

“He wrestled very smart, and when he wrestles smart, he’s hard to beat — especially with the gas tank that he has,” Frampton said of Tabbert.

KVA’s Brett Greenway, at 112 pounds, won his first match by pinfall and his second by forfeit. He goes into the Thanksgiving break unblemished on the season.

KVA opened their sea-

son with three matches at the Cary Duals Saturday. They faced Ravenscroft at that meet, and won 39-27.

Jake Dorrance lost his 140-pound match to Luke Tine in Cary. Thursday’s rematch went his way, as Dorrance defeated Tine by an 8-1 decision.

Despite being low in numbers, Wesleyan left the day 2-0. They defeated Ravenscroft 48-30.

Against Kerr-Vance, Wesleyan won four matches by pinfall.

“I believe we lost that match on inexperience,” said Frampton. “There were three matches that we lost by pin that were all mistakes that we made from just not knowing. I told them, I can deal with that today. I can deal with that for that match... But I better not see it in the next match.”

KVA’s record is now 3-3 on the season.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — The first shot of Isaiah Armwood’s college basketball career was a big one.

The freshman hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 17 seconds left, rallying fifth-ranked Villanova over George Mason 69-68 Thursday in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Puerto Rico Tip-Off.

“He was the last one I wanted to take the shot. I’ll be honest,” Villanova coach Jay Wright admit-ted.

The Wildcats (3-0) trailed by 13 points in the first half and were behind 68-66 with time ticking down.

Armwood hit his only shot, connecting from the top of the arc. He played just four minutes, coming off the bench after Anto-nio Pena and Taylor King both fouled out.

“It felt good when it left my hand. It felt even better after the game,” Armwood said.

Wright, by the way, said Armwood now “defi-nitely” has a green light to shoot away.

The Wildcats never led until late in the second half. They were down 67-63 in the final minute,

then freshman Maalik Wayns hit a 3.

After Sherrod Wright made one of two free throws for George Mason, Armwood made his 3. The Patriots (2-1) did not get off another shot.

Scottie Reynolds scored 18 points despite relent-less pressure from George Mason’s guards, who contributed to his eight turnovers.

He said he was eager to improve in the second round of the tournament Friday.

“I’m going to have to watch the film and I’ll come back better tomor-row,” he said.

Wright said he was surprised his team did not handle George Ma-son’s intensity better.

“They had a great game plan, and they did a great job on our guards,” he said. “We’re going to take this one and learn from it.”

Reynolds’ jumper with seven minutes left gave Villanova its first lead. Ryan Pearson responded with a basket for the Patriots.

Pearson led the Patri-ots with 14 points and star guard Cam Long added 13 before leav-ing the game because of cramps. Andre Cornelius had 13.

Anderson expects his guard play to improve when Matthews returns from illness — but in the mean-time, freshman DJ Mat-thews is providing a capable ball-handler off the bench.

“He’s hopefully going to be one of our star players on the JV team,” said Ander-son.

Crossroads returns to action Friday with a road date at Trinity of Durham at 7:30 p.m.

CHARLOTTE — He may be 32, but Ricky Williams is far from done. And even without Ronnie Brown, the once written-off Miami Dolphins are back in the playoff picture.

Williams rushed for 119 yards and scored three touchdowns, and the Dolphins beat the Carolina Panthers 24-17 on Thurs-day night for their fourth win in six games.

A day after learning Brown is lost for the season, the Dolphins (5-5) contin-ued their surge after an 0-3 start behind Williams. The 2002 NFL rushing champion had a receiving and rushing touchdown in the same game for the first time in his career that included a couple of lost seasons.

It was enough to beat the Panthers (4-6) when Jake Delhomme’s despera-tion pass into the end zone was knocked down as time expired.

DeAngelo Williams rushed for 122 yards, but Delhomme had his streak of three games without an interception snapped, then couldn’t lead a late come-back bid.

Dolphins coach Tony Sparano hinted his team might abandon the wildcat without Brown, who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday because of a foot injury. And Miami didn’t use the formation until the second quarter. It coincided with the Dol-phins’ first touchdown drive — Chad Henne’s 14-yard touchdown pass to Wil-liams, who wrestled away from linebacker Na’il Diggs.

Miami took a 14-3 half-time lead when Williams took the direct snap at the 1 and got to the end zone ahead of speedy linebacker Jon Beason.

The Panthers got within 17-14 on Steve Smith’s leaping 27-yard touchdown catch and DeAngelo Wil-liams’ 2-point conversion run with 5:18 left. But Ricky Williams bounced to the outside and shook

off Sherrod Martin at the Carolina 5 on a 46-yard touchdown run on the ensu-ing possession.

Williams also caught two passes for 19 yards and a touchdown. Chad Henne overcame losing his center and his backup and com-mitted no turnovers.

Early on, Carolina’s offense stalled under the weight of its makeshift offensive line — and the re-turn of Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter from exile.

Benched from Sunday’s win over Tampa Bay, Por-ter served as a captain for the coin toss, then sacked Delhomme on third down on Carolina’s opening drive, leading to John Kasay’s 29-yard field goal.

The Panthers mixed in some of the no-huddle offense on the drive after its effective debut Sunday against Atlanta. But they used it sparingly after that, and the offense got bogged down without Pro Bowl left tackle Jordan Gross.

Porter had two of Delhomme’s three first-half sacks, beating Gross’ replacement Travelle Wharton.

Dolphins center Jake Grove left in the third quar-ter with an ankle injury and was replaced by Joe Berger. Nate Garner moved to center when Berger went down early in the fourth quarter. Henne bobbled Garner’s second snap, but he recovered.

Berger returned on the next series and was injured again, but Henne made it look seamless. He com-pleted 17 of 29 passes for 172 yards.

On a night of few spec-tacular offensive plays, DeAngelo Williams’ 50-yard run early in the third quarter seemed to give Carolina life. But the drive ended when Nathan Jones picked off Delhomme’s pass intended for Smith at the Miami 4.

Smith caught seven passes for 87 yards despite

getting into a minor car accident on the way to the game.

Delhomme, who had thrown 13 interceptions in his first six games, had gone turnover-free this month. But he was just 19 of 42 for 247 yards, and Carolina fell to 0-4 against the Dolphins.

It was a crushing loss for the Panthers, who had also begun eyeing the playoffs after an 0-3 start. Sunday’s win over Atlanta gave them confidence, but their old offensive coordinator had other ideas.

Dan Henning, fired by Carolina after the 2006 sea-son, found a way to score just enough without Brown.

Williams, the 1998 Heisman Trophy winner, continued his resurgence after a career that included a brief retirement and a drug-related suspension. The time off might be help-ing him now when many running backs decline after they turn 30.

ately both on and off the field,” he said. “I certainly have learned a valuable lesson through all of this and I promise to do better in the future.

“I hope and expect that the matter will be resolved soon. In the meantime I am focused on preparing for the 2010 season.”

Lincecum received 11 first-place votes, 12 seconds and nine thirds for 100 points in balloting released by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Carpenter had nine firsts, 14 seconds and seven thirds to take second with 94.

Wainwright, who led the NL with 19 wins and 233 innings, had 12 first-place votes, five seconds and 15 thirds for 90 points. Trevor Hoff-man, who finished behind Tom Glavine in 1998, is the only other player to get the most firsts and not win the award.

“The guys I was going up against, Wainwright and Carpenter, had tremendous seasons,” the 25-year-old Lincecum said. “It was a lucky one for me. I’ll take them as I come I guess.”

Two voters, Will Car-roll of Baseball Prospec-tus and Keith Law of

ESPN.com, did not in-clude Carpenter on their ballots. Carroll had Wain-wright in the top spot, Lincecum second and Ari-zona’s Dan Haren third. Law voted for Lincecum, Atlanta’s Javier Vazquez and Wainwright in third. Those were the only votes in any position for Haren and Vazquez.

The six-point gap between Lincecum and Carpenter is tied for the third-closest in the NL since the ballot expanded to three pitchers in 1970. The 10-point margin from first to third is the second-closest for the NL ballot.

Lincecum, who had a $650,000 salary and is headed for a big raise now that he’s eligible for arbitration, did not have any bonus provision for winning the award. Car-penter receives $100,000 for finishing second, Wainwright $100,000 for winding up third and Vazquez $70,000 for being voted fourth.

Lincecum teamed with Matt Cain to give the Giants a strong 1-2 punch at the top of their rota-tion, helping them stay in contention all year in one of baseball’s biggest sur-prises. He went 15-7 with a 2.48 ERA in 32 starts and 225 1-3 innings.

Lighthouse nailed an early 3 in the first over-time to make the score 50-47.

Tucker tied the game at 50 and McAuslan con-verted two free throws after coming up with a steal to set up a fast break lay-up attempt, giving the Colts a 52-50 lead at the 1:26 mark.

Lighthouse forced overtime on a last-sec-ond, long-distance shot from Tiffany Driver. The Eagles got the ball with 6.5 seconds left and pushed the ball up the court to Driver, who sank the 3 from the wing as time expired.

“I decided to take off the full-court pressure and put the girls up to the three-point arc to stop the three-point shot,” Anderson said of the buzzer-beater. “She stopped four feet in front of it, launched it and it went in.”

Despite the swing in momentum, Anderson was confident heading into overtime.

“I told them, ‘Let’s start over. Let’s fin-ish it,’” said Anderson. “That’s what we’ve been trying to stress with these girls. Once you get the momentum going, you need to finish it.”

Crossroads built a late, 44-37 lead in the

fourth quarter, but Lighthouse chipped away at the margin in the final minute to set up the game-tying shot.

McAuslan scored the first eight points of the fourth quarter for the Colts.

“Elizabeth is coming into her own,” said An-derson. “Once she knows that she has free reign to shoot, she’s going to make them.”

Crossroads trailed 35-34 at the end of the third and 26-24 at halftime. The Eagles surged ahead with a 26-16 lead in the second quarter before the Colts answered with a rally.

Crossroads ended the half on an 8-0 run, behind baskets from Sumner, Davis, Ander-son, and McAuslan.

However, the balanced offensive attack wasn’t the most impressive thing for Anderson.

“I was impressed with my girls’ man-to-man de-fense,” he said. “I’ve al-ways wanted us to play man-to-man, but felt we didn’t get the concept enough on help side. Tonight, that’s what won the game for us.”

RALEIGH — Tuomo Ruutu and Jussi Jokinen scored in the shootout and the Carolina Hurricanes rallied from three goals down to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-5 on Thurs-day night.

The latest meeting of the NHL’s worst teams had a wild finish. Ian White put the Maple Leafs ahead 5-4 with 29.9 seconds remain-ing, but Erik Cole tapped in a rebound with 2.9 sec-onds left to force overtime.

After an uneventful overtime, Ruutu and Joki-nen beat Jonas Gustavsson with wrist shots and Man-ny Legace stopped Phil Kessel and Lee Stempniak to preserve his first victory with the Hurricanes.

Alexei Ponikarovsky had a goal and an assist, and Matt Stajan, Lee Stempniak and Mikhail Grabovski also scored for the Maple Leafs, who led 3-0 after one period but extended their winless streak to five.

Tim Gleason scored twice in the third period, Matt Cullen had a goal and an assist, and he and Stephane Yelle scored 43 seconds apart in the second to lead Carolina. Legace

stopped 27 shots, and Ruutu finished with four assists for the Hurricanes in their club-record fourth straight overtime game.

Gustavsson finished with 40 saves — and as-sisted on Ponikarovsky’s third-period goal — for Toronto, which picked up points for the first time since Nov. 7, having lost four straight in regulation since.

When these teams last met two weeks ago, the

Hurricanes were in the midst of their club-worst-tying 14-game winless streak and lost to the Maple Leafs to claim the indignity of being the worst team in the NHL. Since then, Carolina lost two goalies to injury, includ-ing franchise cornerstone Cam Ward, and Legace was brought in to stabilize things for a while.

The situation in the standings hasn’t improved much for either team:

Carolina entered winless in 15 of its last 16 and haven’t won a game in regulation since Oct. 9. The Maple Leafs came in with a lengthy slump of their own, having won only once since their previous visit to Raleigh. The teams entered with a combined record of 6-23-10, and each had 11 points — four behind Anaheim.

Early on, anyway, To-ronto seemed determined to stop its slide, scoring 61 seconds in — the quickest goal Carolina has allowed this season — on its second shot of the night, then pushed its lead to 3-0 when Grabovski whipped in a rebound in the final mo-ments of the period.

Gleason, who entered with two goals all year, and nine in his career, tied it at 4-all with 8:04 remaining with his second goal — charging hard to the net, taking a pretty feed from Brandon Sutter and beating Gustavsson with a wrist shot.

That came after Yelle started Carolina’s come-back with about 3 min-utes left in the second by banging in a loose puck. Moments later, Cullen beat Gustavsson with a wrist shot to make it a game again.

Answer here:

Today’s answer

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Youhave long believed a certain adage tobe true, and yet it was never repre-sented in your life. Now the wisdomof the ages will take root in your per-sonal experience. Things are startingto really click for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Peo-ple think they can do what they seeyou doing, but it’s a foolish thought.You may not even realize what yourinherent talent and diligent practicehas created; it’s second nature now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Re-visiting happy memories from thepast can infuse the present with anew sense of joy. What you camefrom never left you — it is still part ofwho you are today, just dressed in abetter suit.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Vo-cationally, things may seem unset-tled. Professional stability can neverbe guaranteed anyway. Go for proj-ects that make you feel good andspeak to your sense of purpose, andyou’ll know real stability.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your ca-pacity to adapt is what will set youapart in the near future. You make asmany mistakes as anyone else. Thedifference is: You don’t repeat yours.A Pisces will help make sure of that.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Stick-ing to the original plan won’t workwell. The adjustments that will helpmay be very slight, but they must bemade in order to get to the goal. AScorpio figures prominently in yourpersonal life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Yourwheels have been turning with life’s

bigger questions. Self-reflection canbe marginally helpful. It’s time tostop, though. You can’t figure outwho you are by thinking. It’s only bydoing that you learn what you’remade of.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Yourpath to success is straightforward.There are three simple steps: Placeyourself in the line of opportunity.Make your needs and wants knownin an unemotional way. And then letfate take its course.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).That person who makes you laughand smile can also help you to ac-cess your higher mind. Being ingood spirits inspires you to make thebest, healthiest, most positivechoices.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).Pace yourself. If you do too much,you’ll only have sore, stiff musclesand be unable to move — or the in-tellectual equivalent, you’ll be burntout and not care anymore about suc-ceeding. Stay reasonable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).You’ll be surrounded by kind spirits,though maybe a bit mild-manneredfor your needs. They’ll support you,but they want you to do all the work.Put a request in to the universe tosend you an assistant who is a real“go-getter.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Youneed some time to goof off. Other-wise, you’ll have a sour attitude and ableak outlook. That’s not the head-space you want to be coming fromwhen you’re creating something asimportant as your life.
