Southerland highbidder so faris from Durham

By AL WHELESSDaiLy DiSPatch Writer

The flurry of counter pur-chase offers for Southerland’s Mill Pond continues with sub-mitted “as is” bids of $73,550 from D. Randall Cloninger on Sept. 9 and $90,000 from O. William Faison on Sept. 15.

Faison, the apparent high-bidder at this point, lives in Durham.

Cloninger lives at 338 Pool Rock Shore Lane in Hender-son.

The current 10-day round of upset bidding for the property in the southeastern part of Vance County will end Sept. 29 at 5 p.m., according to City Clerk Pam Glover.

She said Wednesday that the next round will begin after the two bids are legally advertised in The Daily Dis-patch.

The city bought the prop-erty in 1952 for $51,000.

On July 27, the City Coun-cil voted 7-1 for a resolution of intent to sell the property, which consists of 79.43 acres.

The site was a former water supply reservoir for the city, with city-owned land across the road from the pond having once been proposed as a site for a wastewater treat-ment plant.

Earlier bids for the prop-erty have come from Bier Haus, $70,000 and $55,000; Robert Southerland, whose family once owned the land, $63,500 and $43,000; Elissa Yount, $60,000 and $50,000.

The city acquired the prop-erty in 1952 for $51,000.

Rescue-pumperhas 6,000-wattlight tower

By AL WHELESSDaiLy DiSPatch Writer

OXFORD — When the Fire Department’s new rescue-pump-er truck arrived at the station on McClanahan Street Monday, it weighed in at about 30,000 pounds and $546,133.

Even at that hefty price, which includes a compressed-air foam suppression system for both fires and some hazardous materials, the 33 1/2-foot-long KME is not the costliest iron horse in the stable.

David Cottrell, fire officer in charge of operations, said the department’s 95-foot aerial truck was bought 12 years ago for nearly $700,000.

Almost needless to say, the new rescue-pumper possesses lots of mechanical refinements and accoutrements.

They include a 6,000-watt light tower that can rise up to 35 feet to illuminate fire scenes at night, hose bed covers to keep lines from flying out of the vehicle into the roadway, a 15 kilowatt hydraulic-driven generator for self-sufficiency, and extra-large compartments to hold equipment.

Water and all kinds of gear taken on board will probably add another five tons or so to the less-than-svelte rescue-pumper’s total poundage.

The KME’s tank of 750 gal-lons of water can be expended in 30 seconds if necessary, can also be stretched out to last three times as long if mixed with foam.

When sprayed to save lives and/or buildings, the solution can reach higher-than-usual altitudes due to less water inside the hose lines, according to Cottrell.

He said the hoses themselves, when loaded with foam, are 40 percent lighter than lines

containing only water. A gallon of H2O pushes the needle to 8.2 pounds on a weighing-scale. The foam can be used inside a struc-ture, as well as outside.

Manufactured at a plant in Nesquehoning, Pa., the construction process began in mid-January and was completed about 2 1/2 weeks ago, Cottrell said.

He explained that the seller — Slagle’s Fire Equipment of South Boston, Va. — checked out the truck thoroughly before making the delivery.

The third pumper in the city’s fire-fighting arsenal won’t make its debut in neighborhoods or at business locations until this coming weekend, Cottrell said, when all of the engineers will have finished learning to drive it.

No grants were used to acquire the truck, according to the fire officer. He said the city purchased it with capital outlay funds.

Coordinator offers tips for passengers

By DAVID IRVINEDaiLy DiSPatch Writer

Phyllis Maynard, who coordinates transporta-tion for veterans from the local area to the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Durham, says that the ser-vice is receiving increasing interest from residents of Vance and Granville coun-ties. In an interview with The Daily Dispatch, she provided some pointers for veterans who want to use the service.

The veteran must have an appointment with the VA to use the transporta-tion service. Veterans can arrange transportation by calling (252) 438-4520. This should be done at least two working days before the appointment. The veteran will be given a time to meet the van. Veterans living in Vance County should come to the Vance County Sheriff’s Office at the designated

time. For veterans living in Granville County, the van will stop to pick them up at three designated places: at the BP station at I-85 exit 206; at the Shell station at exit 204; and at the Exxon station at exit 191.

Before boarding the van, the veteran must show his/her veteran’s identification card and a letter confirm-ing the appointment.

The van operates under rules established by the VA Medical Center and the Disabled American Veterans organization. The rules include the fol-lowing:

• The veteran must be able to travel indepen-dently. No wheelchairs, walkers or anything else than cannot be stored flat in the rear of the van are allowed.

• The veteran can be accompanied by someone else only if a physician has provided a letter or the caregiver is authorized by the VA.

Gun control fearboost for sales

By MARy FOSTERaSSociateD PreSS Writer

NEW ORLEANS — Bullet-makers are working around the clock, seven days a week, and still can’t keep up with the nation’s demand for ammunition.

Shooting ranges, gun dealers and bullet manu-facturers say they have never seen such short-ages. Bullets, especially for handguns, have been scarce for months because gun enthusiasts are stock-ing up on ammo, in part because they fear Presi-dent Barack Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress will pass antigun legislation — even though nothing specific has been proposed and the presi-dent last month signed a law allowing people to carry loaded guns in

national parks.Gun sales spiked when

it became clear Obama would be elected a year ago and purchases contin-ued to rise in his first few months of office. The FBI’s National Instant Crimi-nal Background Check

System reported that 6.1 million background checks for gun sales were issued from January to May, an increase of 25.6 percent from the same period the year before.

The day was the culmination of a series of western-themed learning ac-tivities during the week, such as learning about cowboys and cowgirls, singing western songs and making trail mix. On Western Round-Up Day, the young students wore western attire to school and received a special visit from Brenda Satterwhite of Hen-derson and her horse, Suede. Satterwhite is the grandmother of three children enrolled at the day care center, including the one she is holding in the picture, Tre Satterwhite.

“That is going to cause an upswing in ammunition sales,” said Larry Keane, senior vice president of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade asso-ciation representing about 5,000 members. “Without bullets a gun is just a paper weight.”

The shortage for sports-men is different than the scarcity of ammo for some police forces earlier this year, a dearth fueled by an increase in ammo use by the military in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“We are working over-time and still can’t keep up with the demand,” said Al Russo, spokesman for North Carolina-based Remington Arms Com-pany, which makes bullets for rifles, handguns and shotguns. “We’ve had to add a fourth shift and go 24-7. It’s a phenomenon that I have not seen before in my 30 years in the busi-ness.”

Americans usually buy about 7 billion rounds

of ammunition a year, according to the National Rifle Association. In the past year, that figure has jumped to about 9 billion rounds, said NRA spokes-woman Vickie Cieplak.

Jason Gregory, who manages Gretna Gun Works just outside of New Orleans, has been build-ing his personal supply of ammunition for months. His goal is to have at least 1,000 rounds for each of his 25 weapons.

“I call it the Obama effect,” said Gregory, 37, of Terrytown, La. “It always happens when the Demo-crats get in office. It hap-pened with Clinton and Obama is even stronger for gun control. Ammuni-tion will be the first step, so I’m stocking up while I can.”

So far, the new admin-istration nor Congress has not been markedly anti-gun. Obama has said he respects Second Amend-ment rights, but favors “common sense” on gun

laws. Still, worries about what could happen persist.

Demand has been so heavy at some Walmarts, a limit was imposed on the amount of ammo custom-ers can buy. The cutoff varies according to caliber and store location, but sometimes as little as one box — or 50 bullets — is allowed.

At Barnwood Arms in Ripon, Calif., sales manag-er Dallas Jett said some of the shortages have leveled off, but 45-caliber rounds are still hard to find.

“We’ve been in busi-ness for 32 years and I’ve been here for 10 and we’ve never seen anything like it,” Jett said. “Coming out of Christmas everything started to dry up and it was that way all through the spring and summer.

Nationwide, distribu-tors are scrambling to fill orders from retailers.

“We used to be able to order 50 or 60 cases and get them in three or four days easy, it was never an

issue,” said Vic Grechniw of Florida Ammo Traders, a distributor in Tampa, Fla. “Now you are really lucky if you can get one case a month. It just isn’t there because the demand is way up.”

A case contains 500 or 1,000 bullets.

At Jefferson Gun Outlet and Range in Metairie just west of New Orleans, owner Mike Mayer is wor-ried individuals are going to start buying by the case.

“If someone wants to shoot on the weekend you have to worry about hav-ing the ammunition for them. And I know some people aren’t buying to use it at the range, they’re taking it home and hoard-ing it.”

With demand, prices have also risen.

“Used to be gold, but now lead is the most expensive metal,” said Donald Richards, 37, who was stocking up at the Jef-ferson store. “And worth every penny.”

According to the alert, Natasha “Pecan” Dixon-Parker, 39, is believed to be suffering from dementia or some other cognitive impairment.

She was last seen at 3659 Raleigh Road and may have been going to Dabney Drive or Water Street in Henderson.

Dixon-Parker has a scar over her left eye and is missing two front teeth. She was last seen wear-ing a white blouse with a gold pen stripe and brown

pants. She is black, is about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds. Her hair is black, and her eyes are brown.

Anyone with informa-tion about Dixon-Parker should call Detective D.R. Thomas at the Vance County Sheriff’s Office, (252) 738-2200.

Dr. S. MaloneParham

HENDERSON — Dr. S. Malone Parham, 88, passed away at Maria Parham Hospital on September 22, 2009, after a long period of declining health.

Born in Vance County on May 9, 1921, he was the son of the late Sum-ner Fuller Parham and Asa Libsomb Parham.

He was the grandson of Edwin Wiley Fuller, poet and author of Angels in the Cloud and Sea Gift. He attended local public schools, graduating with the class of 1938 at Henderson High School. He attended Virginia Military Institute and after two years, trans-ferred to the Univer-sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was a member of the Zeta Psi fraternity and graduated premed in 1942. He then attended the two year UNC School of Medicine and then transferred to receive his M.D. degree at the University of Mary-land Medical Center in Baltimore. He served his military duties as a flight surgeon with the 14th Air Force during World War II. After his military service, he resumed his formal education at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Balti-more. He attended a four year residency in Obstet-rics and Gynecology and was named chief resident. Then he returned to Henderson to practice his specialty in 1952.

In addition to his pri-vate practice, he founded and supervised the Vance County Health Depart-ment Prenatal and Post-partum, subsequently the county Family Planning Clinic. He retired in 1986.

Dr. Parham was an honorary member of the Maria Parham Medi-cal Staff; a member of the county, state, and national medical associa-tions; a diplomat of the American Board of Ob-Gyn; a member of the NC Ob-Gyn Society; a mem-ber of the South-Atlantic

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 64 years, Mary Louisa Jackson Cooper Parham, who passed away on Jan-uary 10, 2008; by his son Dr. S. Malone Parham, Jr. of Kinston, who died of an untimely accident in 1984; three siblings, Edwin Fuller Parham of Henderson, Maria Par-ham Gary of Pinehurst, and Dr. Asa Richmond Parham of High Point.

Paid Obituary

ap phoTo/Times-News, MIKE DIRKS

Careless and recklessMembers of the Etowah-Horse Shoe Fire Department rescue a family who drove through high water Wednesday on Banner Farm Road in Etowah and got stuck. According to the North Carolina Highway Patrol, Diane Marie Ferrari was driving with her son and mother to take her son to school. Ferrari, who passed three high water and road closed signs, was charged with careless and reckless driving. The road, which is near the French Broad River, was under water due to the river flooding from three days of heavy rain.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Bill and Melinda Gates got a first-hand look at North Carolina schools and col-leges on Wednesday after beginning what they called a “two-day learning trip.”

The Microsoft billion-aire and his wife met with teachers, students and administrators at West Charlotte High School to talk about how the school is using data to track stu-dent progress and identify effective teaching methods.

“They literally are doing assessments every two weeks and the data is available the next morn-ing,” Melinda Gates told The Associated Press in an interview afterward. “They are really using data to measure those kids and it’s starting to drive outcomes at a school that had been underperforming before. That’s a key part of what we’re trying to do.”

The couple later met with dozens of students from several North Caro-lina colleges at Central Piedmont Community College. Students did most of the talking as the couple questioned them on their experiences with devel-opmental courses, online learning and how they were paying for college.

Students represented

schools from Davidson County Community Col-lege, Guilford Technical Community College, Pied-mont Central, North Caro-lina A&T State University and University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

The Gateses are co-chairs of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which is pushing to improve the success rate of community college students.

Their initial education

efforts focused on high schools, but in recent years they’ve increasingly supported programs that they hope will be modeled for increasing the percent-age of community college students who complete a degree.

The couple will be in Raleigh on Thursday to meet with state officials and former Gov. Jim Hunt, a prominent national figure in education reform.

RALEIGH — State Sen. David Weinstein will step down from the General As-sembly to become director of the Governor’s Highway Safety Program early next month, a program spokes-woman said Wednesday — the latest in a line of depar-tures from the Legislature this year.

Weinstein, D-Robeson, will resign from the seat he’s held since 1997 effective Sept. 30 to head the program best known for initiatives such as “Booze It & Lose It” and “Click It or Ticket.”

Weinstein, 73, a retired merchant and former mayor of Lumberton, will assume his new post Oct. 5. His sal-ary hasn’t yet been set, but predecessor Glenn Jerni-gan made about $92,000, program spokeswoman Beth Horner said.

The seven-term sena-tor had made no secret of wanting a new job. He was interested in becoming chair-man of the Alcoholic Bever-age Control Commission, but Gov. Beverly Perdue named someone else last week.

Weinstein, who serves at the governor’s pleasure, didn’t return phone calls to his Lumberton home and legislative office.

Weinstein will become the seventh state lawmaker out of 170 elected last Novem-ber to vacate their seat this year, either by resignation or death. On Sunday, Rep. Ty Harrell, D-Wake, resigned in the midst of a State Board of Elections audit of his cam-paign finances.

Democrats in Hoke and Robeson counties, which comprise the 13th Senate District, will nominate a replacement to serve out Weinstein’s two-year term. He had said earlier this year

he was unlikely to run again in 2010.

While in the Legislature, he pushed legislation to double legislators’ terms to four years and to tighten financial controls on nonprofit economic booster groups in the state. He also was a booster of the state’s equine industry.

Jernigan, the program’s director the past six years, will remain at the agency as a liaison to law enforce-ment officers. The program creates public service announcements aimed at reducing traffic injuries and fatalities and distrib-uted more than $9 million in federal highway safety grants to state and local agencies.

RALEIGH (AP) — Two North Carolina waste sites have been added to a fed-eral list of hazardous sites now eligible for cleanup funding.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Wednesday that Ore Knob Mine in Laurel Springs

and GMH Electronics in Roxboro have been added to the National Priorities List of Superfund Sites.

The agency said the locations are two of 11 sites around the country and Puerto Rico that pose risks to human health and the environment.

The EPA also added Kerr-McGee Chemical Corp. in Navassa to a list of 10 proposed sites.

The Superfund is a federal program that cleans up uncontrolled hazardous sites. The 11 added sites are now part of more then 1,270 sites around the country.

RALEIGH (AP) — The largest sewage spill in North Carolina in at least a decade went unreported for about 20 days until an environmental-ist notified federal investiga-tors.

The Yadkin Riverkeeper notified the Environmental Protection Agency that mil-lions of gallons of untreated

wastewater had flowed into a tributary that feeds into High Rock Lake.

The EPA is conducting a criminal investigation of the almost 16-million gallon spill, which is believed to have begun July 16 at the lake and continued until Aug. 4. In addition, one employee of Thomasville’s wastewater

treatment plant has resigned.The city initially re-

ported the spill on Aug. 3, saying 385,000 gallons of untreated wastewater had been dumped. The estimate jumped to almost 16 million gallons when the city submit-ted a revised estimate to state environmental officials in September.

Our OpiniOn

Gupton’s health, anda city’s political health

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: Because that for his name’s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

QuOtable

“Simply put, it is past time to talk about starting negotiations — it is time to move forward. We cannot continue the same pattern of taking tentative steps forward and then stepping back.” — President Barack Obama, displaying an unusual level of public frustration as he prepared to sit down with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to relaunch Mideast peace negotiations.

“America has come in a new, hypocritical face. Smiling at us, butstabbing us with the same dagger that Bush used. God willing, your end will be at the hands of the Muslim nation, so that the world and history will be free of your crimes and lies.” — Al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri, addressing President Barack Obama at the end of a new 106-minute long video marking the eighth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

letters tO the eDitOr

Former City Councilman Bobby Gupton’s medically forced withdrawal from his bid to regain Henderson’s Ward 2 at-large seat is disappointing on two counts.

First, it’s unfortunate to hear that Mr. Gupton’s health — a worsening bout with vertigo, to be specific — has not been good. We extend get-well wishes to Mr. Gupton.

Second, we regret the loss of a candidate who always prompted Henderson’s popula-tion to talk — and to think — about what might be best for the community.

We’re never ones to celebrate an unop-posed candidate for public office. While we have the utmost respect for City Council members Gary Daeke, Lonnie Davis and Brenda Peace — and it can be argued that their lack of opposition this year signifies a community that is satisfied with their work — it’s best for voters to have a choice.

And thankfully, because the Ward 2 at-large race was a three-man contest, with political newcomer Lowell West also filing as a challenger, voters still have an alternative if they don’t wish to send Mike Inscoe back to the council chambers for two more years.

(In fact, at this late date, Gupton’s name remains on the ballot and you can still choose him, if you wish. He just won’t accept the office if he wins.)

But the point is, while oftentimes people who believe they have the best interests of the community in mind like to complain about all the divisions between us, a little bit of thoughtful disagreement never hurt any-body. Bobby Gupton gives a lot of thought to what he believes, and he says what he thinks. Those are valuable qualities in a po-litical candidate. Whether you agree with his positions or not, at least there’s no guessing as to what those positions might be.

Unopposed candidates and single-mind-edness among government officials could only be appropriate in a utopian community where nothing ever goes wrong and quality of life couldn’t possibly be improved.

Since Henderson doesn’t qualify (and what town would?) we hope people like Bobby Gup-ton never stop thinking about whether gov-ernment is doing the best it can, and deciding to run for office to see if they can change their town for the better.

Why Cosby likes ‘Obama Show’Twenty-five years ago NBC

took a risk. In late September, the network launched a half-hour situation comedy about a prosperous, well-educated family whose children actu-ally listened to their parents without a lot of wisecracks.

And, oh, by the way, the family also happened to be black. Young people today may have a hard time imagining it, but that was a big deal at the time.

ABC had turned the show down, but NBC, which was lagging in the ratings, was a bit more desperate. They won. “The Cosby Show” lasted eight years, five of them as the No. 1 sitcom in the Nielsen ratings.

Changing times give the show’s anniversary special significance as we ponder how much the show helped change our times. The program is of-ten credited with enriching the image of the African Ameri-can family in the eyes of the world. I think it also deserves credit for reaffirming the value of the traditional American family unit, regardless of race or ethnicity, although with a more equal-partner role for the wife than used to be the typical case in 1950s sit-coms.

Heathcliff Huxtable was a doctor. Clair Huxtable was a lawyer. I don’t recall seeing her in an apron, although it is not hard to imagine Cliff wear-ing one, if only to offer a visible argument for partnership in a successful marriage.

Before Cosby brought us the Huxtable family, networks had little interest in reviving the too-perfectly idealized strong-dad/omniscient mom/obedient

kids format of “Father Knows Best” or “Leave It to Beaver.” But repack-aging those old-school middle-class family set-ups with a middle-class black family sent a reassur-ing social

message that subtly grabbed viewers’ hearts: The American Dream was not for whites only.

Cosby sounds less grandi-ose when talking about his achievement, but no less ambi-tious. He simply didn’t like the sitcoms TV offered.

“It had nothing to do with the color of them — I just didn’t like any of them,” he said in a recent interview with the Web site The Root. “I wanted to take the house back. I felt that on all these other shows the children owned the house. Now in real life, I have five children and (my wife and I) aren’t letting people go around the house the way the writers were writing for these kids.”

The show offered a glimpse

of the self-help initiatives for which Cosby has more recently crusaded across the country, despite critics — like George-town Prof. Michael Eric Dyson, author of “Is Bill Cosby Right? (Or Has the Black Middle Class Lost Its Mind?)” — who complain that he lets struc-tural racism off the hook.

But if Cosby’s view is con-servative, as Ta-Nehisi Coates, a blogger with The Atlantic, put it recently, “he’s much closer to the conservatism of black nationalism than to the conservatism of Shelby Steele.” He does not reject outside help for the black poor. He does call attention to what blacks at all levels of social need should do to help one another.

It is inevitable that we also wonder how much “The Cosby Show” helped to prepare the way for President Barack Obama’s election. Cosby plays that down. “You can’t get elected because of somebody you see on TV,” he told The Root. But he was being mod-est about media power. Since John F. Kennedy narrowly beat Richard M. Nixon in 1960, no one has gotten elected president without paying due respect to the selling power of TV images.

I think President Obama owes a cultural debt to the Huxtables. What better way for the Obamas to calm voter anxieties than to present the nation with a real-life version of America’s most

beloved TV family.I also think the anti-Cosby

backlash has been overblown. Having interviewed Cosby sev-eral times over the years and witnessed him work the stand-ing-room-only crowds at his call-outs, his rhetoric resonates with the social conservatism of black barbershops, churches and backyard barbecues that looks for allies in the battle against social dysfunction.

In similar fashion, he broadened the vision that we Americans have of ourselves. Amid all of our divisions over other issues, he tapped the fundamental values that most of us share. He reaffirmed the value of nuclear families at time when black Americans in particular were suffering from rising crime, violence, drug addiction and out-of-wedlock births.

Cosby tapped the old-school values that still make up a common culture in our other-wise diverse country. He made mainstream Americans more comfortable with the idea of a black family on their televi-sion sets and, eventually in the White House.

Cosby says he enjoys what he calls, “The Obama Show.” He should. He helped to pro-duce it.

Newspaper profitability: Is it critical to our democracy?

Today, as you read this column in your favorite newspaper, I hope that you can appreciate the irony of where I am choosing to voice my opposition to President Obama’s expressed “happiness” to look at proposals to provide federal funding to help “rescue” the struggling print segment of the Fourth Estate. Just what we need … more of our tax dollars going to pick and choose seg-ments of the public sector that the administration deems worthy of assistance.

I do agree with President Obama when he states that good journalism is “critical to the health of our democracy.” While I think we can all agree that the media find maintaining neutral-ity and hiding biases difficult in many circumstances, one cannot discount their role in keeping this nation’s representatives in check and sometimes even hold-ing them accountable for their actions. The essential nature of a free press was so recognized by our Founding Fathers that it was enshrined in the Bill of Rights.

But these views on the importance of journalism in a free society does not mean I am willing to submit or subscribe to the theory that we can abandon the principles of a free market in order to pick and choose select private industries deemed worthy of receiving federal dollars to bol-ster their chances of surviving the ever-changing marketplace.

Today, many of our nation’s longest standing print outlets are struggling to garner advertis-ers and subscribers. The impact of the challenging economy on advertising budgets and the ease and freshness of online news

sources have put traditional newspapers in a challenging position. However, rather than arrogantly assuming government dollars may be the key to their

continued viability, we should step back and take note of the countless periodicals that are withstanding these un-friendly chal-lenges to their profitability by exploring new, creative ways to remain viable

during times of economic hard-ship and increasing competition from the online community.

We are not facing the end of the press, but a necessary and perhaps even desirable evolution in the particular form and style of our media sources. Journalism is diversifying, not dying. This is the free market at work.

But this administration and this Congress seem to think that government is the solution — the only answer. The answer to what? To help struggling finan-cial institutions as well as the auto and newspaper industries gain an advantage? But what industry, what sector is next? Perhaps they should next look at helping revive the now-defunct Arena Football League?

As we look out over our na-tion as it attempts to climb out from the devastating economic morass of the last 18 months, we can still see so many Americans

out of work and countless small business struggling to make ends meet. How can President Obama talk about continued bailouts — especially one directed toward the media — when we fail to address the concerns of the small businesses that make up a major-ity of the jobs in our country? How about targeted tax cuts/rebates for these small businesses instead?

Sadly, it appears to be politi-cal. The president seems more concerned about the influence of blogs and other online informa-tional resources on the political process than he does about help-ing the working families of our nation by being judicious and fair with their tax dollars. He claims that many of the online news op-tions are simply carefree when it comes to the facts. Or perhaps he does not appreciate the online use of facts that is helping to shape our health care debate?

But regardless of his reasoning or intentions, one thing is clear: the use of our tax dollars to bail out the newspaper industry is just one new example of a federal government that is intent on expanding its own power and reach — all the while trampling on America’s traditional notion of capitalism and free markets. Now, that is something worth reporting.

Independent auto dealers back ‘right to repair’ legislation

To the editor:

The National Indepen-dent Automobile Deal-ers Association strongly supports the Motor Vehicle Owners’ Right to Repair Act (HR 2057) and urges Congress to pass the legis-lation on behalf of its over 20,000 members.

As a national trade asso-ciation representing indepen-dent automobile dealers, we share the belief that special-ized equipment, information and materials should be available to all repair facilities who wish to pursue service and repair opportunities, and should not be restricted to just those who are affiliated with a manufacturer. Right to Repair ensures that our members’ customers can have their vehicles serviced at the repair shop of their choice.

Because vehicles are increasingly monitored or controlled by computers, ready access to complete and accurate information, tools and software from the car companies is necessary to keep vehicles in safe work-ing condition. The Right to Repair Act protects the motoring public by making it illegal for manufacturers to withhold information neces-sary to diagnose, service or repair vehicles.

We encourage our mem-bers and all motorists to visit www.righttorepair.org to send a letter to each of their congressional representa-tives, urging them to support the Right to Repair Act.

dear abby

DEAR ABBY: I am responding to “Alone But Happy in Canada” (July 12), who feels guilty because she feels relieved following the death of her husband from a long, difficult illness.

Everyone grieves dif-ferently, but I don’t think grieving a loved one’s loss BEFORE his or her death is uncommon. I’ve known several people who watched loved ones wither away into helpless, needy and miser-able individuals. I can’t think of one who didn’t feel the same as “Alone But Happy.”

I have begun referring to it as “grieve-as-you-go guilt.” A person grieves through the decline and eventual demise of a beloved mate, and when she fails to feel sadness, she substitutes guilt where she believes her grief should be. But actually she has been grieving all along, and needs to acknowl-edge that fact. Only then will she be able to enjoy not only her clean house, but her clear conscience as well. — AZY IN WASHINGTON

DEAR AZY: You have keen insight. Other read-ers wrote wanting to offer reassurance to “Alone But Happy.” Read on:

DEAR ABBY: Your answer to “Alone” was ap-preciated by all caregivers, I’m sure. Nobody knows, un-less they have walked that particular path, how difficult and lonely it is to watch a spouse disappear over a long time, losing the history you share together, making hard decisions alone, and rebuild-ing an identity not tied to the past. Every morning brings a new bout of grief from the moment of waken-ing — every day another day you don’t want to face.

Keeping healthy and planning ahead for yourself, not as a caregiver but as a participant in the “real world,” is the only way to

maintain sanity sometimes. Though I love my husband dearly, I look forward to having a life again that is not centered on his disease. No one should be made to feel guilty for restarting life when he or she has given so much. — DAY AT A TIME

DEAR ABBY: I also lost my husband of 35 years just a month ago. He endured several years of health prob-lems and as his caregiver, I, too, felt a great sense of relief with his passing. I do not, however, feel guilty about it.

I realize that I have been grieving for several years already, as I knew this time would be coming. In many ways it is as if I am in the fi-nal stage of the process even though my husband’s death has only just occurred.

Our son put it best when he said at my husband’s bed-side, “I lost my dad several years ago, but my father died tonight.” He, too, under-stands that his grief began a long time ago. — MOVING FORWARD

DEAR ABBY: Having to put another person’s needs and wants before one’s own can be very stressful. Not ev-eryone is able to do that and stay pleasant and patient at all times. Fortunately, I found a local caregivers’ support group. Our weekly meetings help us see that we are not alone in experiencing the trials and tribulations of family caregiving.

For those who are labor-ing to do their best for their sick or disabled loved ones, let me suggest they find a Senior Information and Assistance office in their area. Another resource is the National Family Caregivers Association (www.thefami-lycaregiver.org; phone (800) 896-3650). These may be helpful in allowing caregiv-ers mental and physical relief by connecting them with hourly in-home care services.

It is important that people experiencing this kind of stress get respite time to themselves, away from their care recipient, in order to be able to keep on helping them. — ONE OF THE MANY

Dear

Today is Thursday, Sept. 24, the 267th day of 2009. There are 98 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight:On Sept. 24, 1969, the trial

of the “Chicago Eight” (later seven) began. (Five of the de-fendants were later convicted of crossing state lines to incite riots at the 1968 Democratic national convention, but the convictions were ultimately overturned.)

On this date:In 1789, Congress passed

a Judiciary Act which pro-vided for an attorney general and a Supreme Court.

In 1869, thousands of businessmen were ruined in a Wall Street panic known as “Black Friday” after finan-ciers Jay Gould and James Fisk attempted to corner the gold market.

In 1929, Lt. James H. Doolittle guided a Consolidat-ed NY-2 Biplane over Mitchel Field on Long Island in the first all-instrument flight.

In 1960, the USS En-terprise, the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, was launched at Newport News, Va.

In 1976, former hos-tage Patricia Hearst was sentenced to seven years in prison for her part in a 1974 bank robbery in San Francisco carried out by the Symbionese Liberation Army. (Hearst was released after 22 months after receiv-ing clemency from President Jimmy Carter.)

Ten years ago: Oregon teenager Kip Kin-

kel, who killed his parents and gunned down two class-mates at school, abandoned an insanity defense and

pleaded guilty to murder. (He was later sentenced to 112 years without parole.)

Five years ago: Iraq’s interim prime min-

ister, Ayad Allawi, appealed to world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly to unite behind his country’s effort to rein in spiraling violence, lighten the foreign debt and improve security ahead of the January elections.

One year ago: Officials reopened Galves-

ton, Texas, to residents who were warned about Hurri-cane Ike’s debris and disrup-tion of utilities. Japanese lawmakers elected Taro Aso, leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, prime minister.

Today’s Birthdays:Actor-singer Herb Jeffries

is 98. Actress Sheila MacRae is 85. R&B singer Sonny Turner (The Platters) is 70. Singer Barbara Allbut (The Angels) is 69. Pro Football Hall of Famer John Mackey is 68. Singer Phyllis “Jiggs” Allbut (The Angels) is 67. Singer Gerry Marsden (Ger-ry and the Pacemakers) is 67. Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Greene is 63. Actor Gordon Clapp is 61. Former U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy II, D-Mass., is 57. Actor Kevin Sorbo is 51. Christian/jazz singer Cedric Dent (Take 6) is 47. Actress-writer Nia Vardalos is 47. Baseball All-Star Rafael Palmeiro is 45. Country musician Marty Mitchell is 40. Actress Megan Ward is 40. Singer-musician Marty Cintron (No Mercy) is 38. Contemporary Chris-tian musician Juan De-Vevo (Casting Crowns) is 34.

NEW YORK — After 50 years in baseball, Bobby Cox figured the only way he would ever give up managing was to pick a specific time and announce it publicly.

So that’s what he did Wednes-day, revealing his plans to retire as manager of the Atlanta Braves after next season.

Now comes the hard part:

sticking to it.“There is a little bit of relief

once you come to grips with an-nouncing it,” Cox said. “I’ve never lost the love to manage, period. But you have to make a decision. At my age, you have to make a decision. Somebody a little younger can start up.”

The 68-year-old Cox, a four-time Manager of the Year, agreed to a one-year contract extension for 2010, the Braves announced before Wednesday night’s game against the New York Mets. He will start a five-year consulting agreement to advise the team in baseball operations after he steps down as manager.

“I’ll believe it when I see it,” Braves slugger Chipper Jones said.

During an illustrious career on the bench, Cox has guided Atlanta to 14 consecutive post-season appearances (1991-2005) and the 1995 World Series title.

“They asked me to come back, and I said I would do it for one more year, and we’ll announce the retirement along with it. It’s the only way I think I’m ever going to walk away from the game, is to go ahead and say I’m going to, and then I’ve got to,” Cox said. “There’s no turning

back now — win, lose or draw. Whatever happens next year is going to be it.”

A cigar-smoking baseball lifer, Cox managed the Braves from 1978-81, switched to manage the Toronto Blue Jays from 1982-85, then returned to manage At-lanta in 1990. He led the Braves to five NL pennants and a record 14 straight division titles from 1991-2005.

CHARLOTTE — Raymond Felton signed Charlotte’s one-year, $5.5 million qualifying offer on Wednesday after the restricted free agent was unable to come to teams on a long-term contract.

The move means the Bobcats starting point guard will report on time to training camp next week, then become an unre-stricted free agent next sum-mer.

“Raymond didn’t want this to be a distraction to his team-mates or to the organization going into training camp. So we just decided it was time,” agent Kevin Bradbury said. “Raymond wanted to move on. He didn’t want this to linger anymore.”

Felton averaged 14.2 points and 6.7 assists last season and won over new coach Larry Brown, who said keeping Felton was a top offseason priority.

Felton also repeatedly said he wanted to stay in Charlotte and sign a long-term deal, but the two sides were never close.

Bobcats general manager Rod Higgins met with Bradbury in Las Vegas in July, but the talks ended quickly with the two sides were far apart on money. Brad-bury said discussions resumed in the last couple of weeks, but a deal wasn’t imminent. Bradbury declined to reveal the contract numbers they wanted, but said Felton holds no hard feelings toward the organization. The Bobcats made few moves this offseason and are under orders from owner Bob Johnson not to reach the luxury tax threshold of $69.9 million in payroll.

“There were just too many factors involved and Raymond decided that he wanted to focus on basketball,” Bradbury said. “He’s got big hopes for this team this year.”

Felton will be under pres-sure to help Charlotte reach the playoffs for the first time — and hold off D.J. Augustin for the starting job this season. The Bobcats used the ninth pick in the 2008 draft on Augustin, but Felton kept his job in 2008-09.

Brown was impressed with the 6-foot-1 Felton’s toughness and eagerness to learn, but his shooting remained a weakness. He’s shot less than 40 percent from the field in his four-year career, and made less than 30 percent of his 3-point shots in each of the last two seasons.

The Bobcats were the NBA’s lowest-scoring team last season when they went 35-47. They’ll face a difficult task reaching the playoffs this season in the improved Eastern Conference.

Felton will now become part of what could be the biggest free-agent class in NBA his-tory next summer with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and others.

The Bobcats report to train-ing camp Monday. The first workout is a day later.

Southern Vance controlled the tempo for virtually the en-tire match Wednesday against former conference rival Warren County, but only had two goals to show for it.

The Warren County defense held strong, but the Eagles couldn’t get much of an offense going as they were shut out by the Raiders 2-0.

Southern improves to 5-1-1 on the season, while Warren

County falls to 0-4 under first-year coach Trevor Brown.

Brown was an assistant under coach Bill Overby last season.

“I’m very happy with the way we came out and played tonight. We took it to a very good team,” he said. “We played good soccer, and we probably played the best we’ve played all year long.”

After a few minutes of back-and-forth possessions, South-ern managed a shot at minute six that narrowly missed. At

minute 12, a Raider shot was negated by an offsides call.

Eagle goalie Adam Aycock made a save at minute 17, knocking the ball just over the crossbar. It was the first of many saves for Aycock, as the Raiders peppered Warren County with goal attempts all night.

“Adam comes up big in just about every game. We’ve just kind of come to expect it of him,” said Brown. “He played

In a season full of ties, North-ern Vance added another to its record after their 5-5 match at Franklin Academy (8-3-3) Wednesday.

Northern fought back from a 3-0 deficit to tie it at 3 going into the half.

They held a 5-4 lead until the final minute, when Franklin Acad-emy knotted it up with a goal on a free kick.

Justin Munn came up big for the Vikings, scoring the hat trick with three goals. Kevin Byrom and Blake Wade each had a goal and an assist.

Ethan Byrom, Bryson Faulkner and Tate Frazier each had assists.

After spending 18 months in federal prison and sitting out the first two games as the final league penalty for his role in a dogfighting ring, Vick is eli-gible to play his first regular-season game in 33 months when the Philadelphia Eagles host the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

The three-time Pro Bowl quarterback was so excited Wednesday he ran full speed in the morning walkthrough.

Braves win again

“He’s one of the greatest — not only managers, but people,” Los Angeles Dodg-ers manager Joe Torre said in Washington. “He’s a Hall of Famer.”

Cox began Wednesday with 2,408 regular-season wins as a manager, fourth behind Connie Mack (3,731), John McGraw (2,763) and Tony La Russa (2,550). Cox and Joe McCarthy are the only managers with six 100-win regular seasons.

“Bobby’s one of the best ever,” Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland said in Cleveland.

Braves general man-ager Frank Wren said he won’t start thinking about a successor for Cox until an appropriate time next season. Both men said Cox will have input.

“He’s been the one con-stant through the entire run that we’ve had over the last 20 years,” said Jones, who has played for Cox his entire career. “It’ll be a sad day, a sad day when he leaves.”

Still feisty, Cox has been ejected seven times this season, extending his major league record to 150.

“What you can always say about Bobby is that he always gets the best out of his players and that he’s a class act,” umpire Ed Rapuano said in Cleve-land. “You could toss him, but the next day all was forgotten.”

Jones said the Braves will have added incen-

tive next season to send Cox out a winner. But the 37-year-old third baseman added that he’s not sure he’ll stick around long enough to play for a differ-ent manager.

“I’m just glad he’ll be around for one more year,” Jones said.

Wren said the agree-ment was reached last weekend while the Braves were playing Philadelphia, but Cox didn’t want an announcement to take the focus off that series.

The team had decided to reveal the news when it returned home to Atlanta next week, but Wren said all the public specula-tion and false informa-tion about Cox’s future persuaded the club to make an announcement Wednesday.

Cox’s entire coaching staff will be retained next season, too.

“We know we’re growing older. I know Bobby feels like he’s still capable. His mind is as good today as it will be five years from now. But there’s a demand of pressure and energy on his job. We all come to that point,” Braves president John Schuerholz said at a Turner Field news confer-ence in Atlanta.

“He’s comfortable with this. It’s his plan. He’s at peace managing a team next season to a champi-onship level,” Schuerholz added. “He’s handled the highs and lows better than any other manager in baseball I’ve ever seen.”

Cox said his role as adviser likely will include visiting Braves farm clubs to offer advice, evaluations and perhaps even hands-on instruction. He said it’s a job he’s excited about.

Still, many in baseball have a hard time imagin-ing anyone besides ol’ No. 6 in the Braves’ dugout.

“He may change his mind. Bobby loves the game. It’s in his blood,” La Russa said in Hous-ton before his Cardinals played the Astros. “He always had his team ready to play.”

Mets manager Jerry Manuel called Cox “an icon in the sport.”

“Managers look to try to attain that level of status that he has,” Manuel said. “I think that’s unfortunate for the Braves — probably fortunate for everybody else in the division.

“He’s had a tremendous, tremendous run. He has really set the bar tremen-dously high over there. So anybody that steps in there will have some big, big shoes to fill as far as stability and strategy.”

Cox said the person he consulted most about the decision was his wife, Pam, and he acknowl-edged she was happy about it.

“She’s been after me for quite awhile,” Cox said with a smile.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Brett Favre said Wednesday he believes the fines handed down by the NFL for his absence from last year’s New York Jets injury reports were “very unfair.”

Favre was asked by reporters for the first time about the $125,000 in penalties levied on the Jets organization ($75,000), general man-ager Mike Tannenbaum ($25,000), and former head coach Eric Mangini ($25,000).

“I just think it’s wrong,” Favre said. “They did everything that I felt they were sup-posed to.”

Favre earlier this month revealed the pro-cess he and the Jets went

through in assessing the health of his throwing arm last December. He played through a torn bi-ceps tendon, and his per-formance suffered. The NFL investi-gated and announced the fines last week for Mangi-ni’s failure to list Favre on the injury report.

Favre said he dis-cussed his condition with the Jets last year because he wanted the team to know he wasn’t at his best.

“I felt like maybe there were some throws where I could’ve played better because of this injury,” Favre said. “I just want-ed to let them know that.

I never asked them to put me on the injury re-port. I can’t tell you how many times I probably should’ve been on the injury report. I practiced. I played. I knew I was going to play.

“I wanted them to know that I wasn’t too proud to play just to play.”

Favre said he told Tan-nenbaum and Mangini, who now coaches the Browns, that he was sorry about the way the season went sour. Favre led the Jets to an 8-3 start and first place in the AFC East, but he threw nine interceptions down the stretch and the team lost four of its last five games to miss the playoffs.

Favre retired, was released by the Jets, then came back for a second

time to join the Vikings.The NFL has stepped

up policing of the injury report, and the penalties for the Jets were an op-portunity for the league to stress the importance of following the rules. Tannenbaum acknowl-edged recently that Favre should have been listed as “probable” down the stretch.

Favre last week set what the NFL believes to be the all-time record for consecutive games started, with 271. He hurt both hands in that game against the Detroit Lions, including the nail on his right thumb being bent all the way back.

“It doesn’t feel good, but that was it,” Favre said.

“It was a pretty good shot I took, but that was it.”

NEW YORK — Rus-sia’s richest man has a deal to buy a controlling interest in the New Jer-sey Nets and nearly half of a project to build a new arena in Brooklyn.

Mikhail Prokho-rov’s Onexim Group announced the deal Wednesday with Forest City Ratner Companies and Nets Sports and Entertainment. They say they have signed a letter of intent to create a partnership for the de-velopment of the Atlantic Yards Project.

According to the agreement, entities to be formed by Onexim Group will invest $200 million and make certain funding commitments to acquire 80 percent of the NBA team, 45 percent of the arena project and the right to purchase up to 20 percent of the Atlantic Yards Development Com-pany, which will develop the non-arena real estate.

Prokhorov would be the first non-North American NBA owner.

NBA commissioner David Stern praised the

move, saying it will help the NBA expand glob-ally and ensures that the Nets, whose current principal owner is Bruce Ratner, will have a new arena.

“Interest in basketball and the NBA is growing rapidly on a global basis, and we are especially encouraged by Mr. Prokho-rov’s com-mitment to the Nets and the op-portunity it presents to continue the growth of basketball in Russia,” Stern said in a state-ment.

The NBA will review the proposal, and the deal must be approved by three-fourths of the NBA’s board of governors.

Ratner and Prokhorov said in the joint state-ment they hope to have the sale completed by the first quarter of 2010.

“I have a long-standing passion for basketball and pursuing interests that forward the devel-opment of the sport in Russia,” Prokhorov said

in a statement. “I look forward to becoming a member of the NBA and working with Bruce and his talented team to bring the Nets to Brooklyn.”

Stern said the league was looking forward to the Nets’ move to a state-of-the-art facility in Brooklyn.

The team currently plays at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J., a building that opened about 30 years ago.

Prokhorov, who owns a share in the Russian bas-ketball team CSKA, was ranked as the country’s richest man in the Rus-sian edition of Forbes, with an estimated for-tune of $9.5 billion. He has weathered the global economic crisis better than many of his wealthy compatriots by cashing out of some lucrative assets before the down-turn battered commodity markets.

According to Forbes, his fortune shrank by some $7 billion — a breathtaking loss by most standards, but mild in comparison with some Russian oligarchs. Roman Abramovich, who as own-er of Chelsea is Russia’s

best-known international sports magnate, lost more than $9 billion, and Oleg Deripaska, a rival in Rus-sia’s metals business, lost around $35 billion.

Prokhorov’s interest in basketball isn’t only as a spectator. The 44-year-old was an avid player in his high school and college years.

He shot to prominence in the murky and chaotic early years of privatiza-tion deals that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union.

In 1993, the Onexim bank that he headed acquired Norilsk Nickel, one of Russia’s huge but lumbering and inefficient industrial conglomerates.

Prokhorov’s steward-ship saw Norilsk be-come more efficient and profitable. He resigned as Norilsk chairman in 2007 and sold off his shares for $7.5 billion, but retains substantial interests in other metals companies through Onexim, includ-ing shares in gold miner Polyus and Rusal, the world’s largest aluminum company.

Onexim’s other inter-ests include real estate, insurance and energy.

Braves 5, Mets 2NEW YORK (AP) —

Tim Hudson pitched six effective innings for his second win since major elbow surgery and the At-lanta Braves beat the New York Mets 5-2 on Wednes-day night to complete a three-game sweep.

Hours after announcing Bobby Cox will retire as manager following next season, the Braves won for the 11th time in 13 games. Clinging to scant playoff hopes, Atlanta began the day five games behind Colorado for the NL wild card. At press time, the Rockies trailed San Diego 6-3 in the eighth inning.

Adam LaRoche had three hits and two RBIs. Late substitute Kelly John-son also knocked in two runs for the Braves, who won their seventh straight road game and finished 13-5 against New York this year.

It was their first sweep on the road against the Mets since July 2003 at Shea Stadium.

Marlins 7, Phillies 6MIAMI (AP) — Pinch-

hitter Brett Carroll capped a two-run rally against closer Brad Lidge in the ninth inning with an RBI single, giving the Florida Marlins a 7-6 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night.

Jorge Cantu tied it with a single off Lidge (0-8), who blew his major league-lead-ing 11th save opportunity.

Lidge entered to start the ninth and promptly gave up a double to Ross Gload, who advanced to third on Chris Coghlan’s

fly out. Lidge struck out pinch-hitter John Baker before walking Hanley Ramirez. Cantu then lined a single to left-center to score Gload and make it 6-all.

Carroll fell behind 0-2 before singling to center to score Ramirez.

Dan Meyer (3-1) pitched an inning of scoreless relief.

Astros 3, Cardinals 0HOUSTON (AP) — Bud

Norris and the Houston Astros put the St. Louis Cardinals’ celebration on ice.

The Astros’ 24-year-old rookie shut out the Cardinals for the second time and St. Louis missed a chance to capture the NL Central in a 3-0 loss to the Astros on Wednesday night.

The magic number for St. Louis dropped to one when the Cubs lost in Mil-waukee before this game ended. But Norris (6-3) pitched six shutout innings and Jose Valverde pitched a scoreless ninth for his

28th save.The Cardinals had 25

cases of champagne wait-ing in the clubhouse, but the bottles will remain corked for at least another day.

St. Louis can clinch on their day off Thursday if the Cubs lose the opener of a weekend series in San Francisco.

Brewers 3, Cubs 2MILWAUKEE (AP)

— Prince Fielder hit his 42nd homer to give him a majors-best 131 RBIs and rookie Chris Narveson struck out 10 for his first win as a starter, helping the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2 on Wednesday night.

Jody Gerut homered for the Brewers, who avoided a three-game sweep but had been eliminated from the postseason on Tuesday. Chicago is still mathemati-cally alive, but St. Louis will win the NL Central title with a victory or an-other Cubs’ loss.

Narveson (2-0) was designated for assignment by the Brewers in July, but returned last month and was sharp into the sixth inning in his third career start. Narveson’s only mistake came when Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija (1-3) led off the sixth in-ning with a homer, his first career hit.

Nationals 5, Dodgers 4WASHINGTON (AP)

— Andre Ethier booted pinch-hitter Pete Orr’s fly to right field in the ninth inning, allowing Justin Maxwell to score, and the Washington Nationals

averted their 100th loss of the season with a 5-4 vic-tory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night.

Maxwell started the decisive rally with a single down the left-field line off James McDonald (5-5) to open the ninth. Alberto Gonzalez bunted Maxwell to second and Maxwell stole third before Jorge Padilla walked.

Orr, who was 2 for 13 as a pinch hitter, hit a fly to medium right and the ball bounced off the glove Eth-ier as he backtracked and Maxwell scored. Orr was credited with a sacrifice fly and Ethier was given an error on the play.

Reds 12, Pirates 2PITTSBURGH (AP) —

Joey Votto went 4 for 5 and scored three runs, Homer Bailey allowed two runs in six innings and the Cincin-nati Reds continued the Pittsburgh Pirates’ losing with a 12-2 win Wednes-day night.

Brandon Phillips, Scott Rolen, Jay Bruce, Laynce Nix and Corky Miller each had two RBIs for the Reds, who have won seven of nine.

The Pirates are 3-22 in their past 25, having lost five in a row. They have allowed 33 runs the past three games.

Pittsburgh’s Andrew McCutchen had two hits and scored a run.

Since beating the Pi-rates at PNC Park Aug. 23, Bailey (6-5) is 4-1 with a 1.99 ERA — three of those victories coming against Pittsburgh. He allowed four hits and three walks.

beyond himself, he really did, along with a number of our other players.”

In an eight-minute span, Aycock saved shots from Humberto Salazar, Michael Lopez, Matt Bow-ers and Luis Rodriquez-Mendoza.

The Raiders nearly had a goal within the final 10 minutes of the first half. A shot on a corner kick play got by Aycock temporarily, but he scrambled to stop its progress before it went in the goal.

Salazar finally squeaked one in with a little less than three minutes to go in the half, giving Southern a 1-0 lead at intermission.

“It seemed like when we had shots, we would get unselfish and would make an extra pass. It seemed like sometimes we needed to make an extra pass, and we didn’t,” said Southern coach Mike Rotolo.

The Raiders were more aggressive in the second half, and continued their barrage. Still, besides their one goal in minute 43, the Eagle defense kept it out of the net.

Joel Lopez-Hernandez scored the only goal of the half, kicking it past the keeper 3:30 into the half. He had another attempt in minute 49 that sailed over the net, and his shot with 29:40 to play was saved by Aycock.

Salazar made a nice move to get past the keeper at minute 54, but Aycock retreated and scooped up

the ball before Salazar could take his shot.

Warren County had a rare drive toward the goal recalled for being offsides with a little more than 20 minutes remaining. With 4:30 to play, the Eagles had a free kick opportunity close to the goal, but the kick sailed way off, high and right of the net.

“I think we played harder in the second half. I still don’t think we’re playing the way we need to be playing,” said Rotolo. “We’re still not doing some things that we’re talking about doing in practice. We’re going to have to make some adjustments.”

“I don’t want to take anything away from Warren County. I thought their kids played hard, and I know those guys are working really hard with their kids every day. I was impressed with them, with their hustle, with their intensity.”

This year’s Eagles team is co-ed, featuring several girls playing at various starting positions. Brown said it was the first time, to his knowledge, the Eagles’ soccer team has had female players.

Warren County does not have a girls team in the spring.

“We had some girls that wanted to play, and so we decided to play co-ed,” he said.

to me,” Vick said.His role is uncertain

because the Eagles have a complicated situation at quarterback. Donovan McNabb did not practice Wednesday because of a broken rib that forced him to miss last Sunday’s 48-22 loss to New Orleans.

Kevin Kolb would make his second straight start if McNabb, injured in the season opener at Carolina, can’t play against the Chiefs. Kolb made his first NFL start against the Saints, throwing for 391 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions.

Coach Andy Reid isn’t

sure whether Vick or Jeff Garcia would be the backup quarterback. Reid wouldn’t even say that Vick is definitely playing against Kansas City. Vick said he will be in uniform, so that means he’ll at least serve as the No. 3 QB.

“One thing we do know is I’m going to be dressed up, so that’s a great op-portunity,” Vick said. “This is Andy’s team. He’s a smart guy. He knows what to do and when he comes up with the game plan. If it doesn’t include me, I’m cool. But, I will make sure that mentally I’m aware of what’s going on and I’m

ready in case something happens. You never know what can happen.”

When he plays, Vick is expected to run Phila-delphia’s version of the wildcat offense. The Eagles used that formation nine times against the Saints with three different play-ers taking snaps. Wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin and running back Brian West-brook took turns handling the ball. Westbrook even threw an incomplete pass to Leonard Weaver at the goal line.

Vick is quite familiar with a nontraditional of-

fensive style. During his six seasons with the At-lanta Falcons, he was more known for his running abil-ity than his passing skills. He holds several rushing records for QBs, including most yards in a season (1,039) and most career 100-yard games (eight).

“I was the Wildcat origi-nator, so it’s not foreign territory to me,” Vick said. “It’s just about making the right decisions and just playing football. It’s almost like backyard ball, but it’s become quite im-mense in this league now. Everybody’s doing it, so I’m excited about my role.”

On Tuesday night, New York became the first ma-jor league team to clinch a playoff berth.

Robinson Cano hit a two-run single, and Melky Cabrera followed with an RBI double in the fourth inning for the Yankees.

Gary Matthews Jr. and Bobby Abreu drove in runs for the Angels.

Carlos Guillen hit two of Detroit’s three home runs and the Tigers sent Cleve-land to its season-high 10th straight loss.

Rick Porcello (14-9) allowed one run and six hits over five innings as

the Tigers won their third straight.

Guillen tied a season high with four RBIs. He hit a two-run homer in the third off right-hander Justin Masterson (4-9) and connected on the second pitch from left-hander Mike Gosling to make it 9-1 in the fifth. It was the fourth time in his career the switch-hitter went deep from both sides and his seventh multihomer game overall.

Miguel Cabrera had a two-run homer, a 440-foot shot into the bleachers in left-center in the fourth, for Detroit.

The Tigers got four straight hits and took advantage of a throwing error by first baseman Andy Marte to take a 4-0 lead in the first.

in Toronto this season. The Orioles have been outscored 48-19 over their losing streak.

Richmond (7-10) al-lowed three runs and five hits in five innings to win for the first time in 10 starts. The rookie, 0-6 since beating Cincinnati on June 24, walked four and struck out two.

Jeremy Guthrie (10-16), who has lost four of five, allowed seven runs, five earned, and eight hits in seven-plus innings. Five of the eight hits were for extra bases.

Rays 5, Mariners 4ST. PETERSBURG,

Fla. (AP) — B.J. Upton had three RBIs, including a go-ahead two-run single in the eighth, for Tampa Bay.

The Rays loaded the bases on a single and two walks with one out against Mark Lowe (2-7) in the eighth and Upton gave the Rays a 5-4 lead on his single to left.

Akinori Iwamura had two RBIs for the Rays, who are 6-3 since an 11-game losing skid. The defending AL champions, eliminated from playoff

contention Tuesday, need to win four of their final 10 games to record a second-ever over .500 season.

Ichiro Suzuki hit an RBI single and Franklin Gutierrez had a run-scoring grounder to put Seattle ahead 3-0 in the fifth. The Mariners lost for the second time in seven games.

Red Sox 9, Royals 2KANSAS CITY, Mo.

(AP) — David Ortiz homered and drove in four runs, and Josh Beckett allowed two runs over six innings to lift the Boston Red Sox to a 9-2 win over the Kansas City Royals 6-2 Wednesday night.

Jason Bay and Jacoby Ellsbury each drove in two runs and Ortiz had a run-scoring single in Boston’s six-run fifth inning off Luke Hochevar (7-11). Or-tiz added his 25th homer in the eighth, a three-run shot off Carlos Rosa to give Boston 90 wins for the third consecutive season.

Beckett (16-6) limited the damage from 12 hits with seven strikeouts, im-proving to 5-0 with a 2.03 ERA in seven career starts against Kansas City

Yankees win series with Angels, first time since 2004

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Shavonte Zel-lous scored 23 points and Deanna Nolan added 22 as the Detroit Shock easily cruised to a 72-56 victory over the Indiana Fever on Wednesday night in Game 1 of the Eastern Confer-ence finals.

The Shock, seeking their fourth straight trip to the WNBA finals, have knocked out the Fever in each of the last three post-seasons. Game 2 is Friday night at Indiana.

Katie Douglas led Indi-ana with 16 points, but the Fever couldn’t overcome Detroit’s edge in rebounds and turnovers.

After trailing the entire

first half, the Shock scored the first six points of the third quarter to take their first lead, and expanded the margin to 52-43 going into the fourth.

The Fever cut the margin to four, but Nolan scored the next six points and Zellous added a three-point play to put Detroit ahead 63-50 with 5:09 to play.

The Shock struggled through the first half of the season, but closed with nine wins in their last 11 games and improved to 3-0 in the playoffs.

Zellous had 16 points in the first half and led a rally that pulled the Shock to 37-35 at the break.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — The fourth-ranked Missis-sippi Rebels sure sound ready for their college football close up.

The Rebels are highly ranked but untested after easy opening victories against Memphis and Southeastern Louisiana.

Ole Miss (2-0) opens its Southeastern Conference schedule Thursday night at South Carolina (2-1, 1-0) in front of a national television audience.

“It’s going to be a big showcase for us,” defensive end Kentrell Lockett said. “We can show the work and show people that we’re a top-five caliber team. So it’s going to be a big oppor-tunity for us.”

And maybe a chance for Mississippi quar-terback Jevan Snead to show Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier he should have stuck to his original preseason all-SEC team ballot, the one with Snead instead of Florida’s Tim Tebow.

Remember that sum-mertime whodunit? It turned out Spurrier had a

staffer fill out his all-SEC ballot and didn’t realize Snead was placed ahead of Tebow. He later changed his vote to make Tebow a

unanimous selection.Snead and the Rebels

have drawn plenty of at-tention coming into this season.

They haven’t been ranked this high since Manning — father Archie and not son Eli — was at quarterback in 1970. They’re riding an eight-game winning streak, the school’s longest in 37 years. A 3-0 start would be its best opening since 1989.

Lose to an unranked op-ponent, even one coached by Spurrier, and Ole Miss would likely take a dramatic tumble in the rankings.

“You are ready to play a game like this,” Missis-sippi coach Houston Nutt said. “It’s going to be a great atmosphere. Our guys are looking forward to it. I know as coaches, we are. I think our players are even more so.”

Mississippi figured to be that jacked up a year ago against the Gamecocks, returning home as heroes on the Grove after defeat-ing the eventual national champion Florida Gators 31-30 a week earlier. Instead, Snead and the Rebels bobbled things away in a 31-24 loss to South Carolina.

Snead threw an inter-ception and had a fumble as Mississippi coughed up

a 14-3 lead. The Rebels lost the next week to Alabama and haven’t been beaten since, landing everywhere this summer — including on the cover of Sports Illus-trated — as one of college football’s rising teams.

Nutt has seen before how quickly that can disappear.

“The intensity and the focus have to be a very high level,” he said. “This is why you come to Ole Miss to play the type of game like this. Really, there is nothing like it.”

The contest got a little extra juice in July when Snead picked up a vote for first-team all-SEC preseason quarterback. One-by-one, league coaches stepped to the microphone at the summer media gathering saying it wasn’t them. Finally, Spurrier fessed up to what he called an error on his part.

There’s no doubt Spur-rier, a Heisman Trophy winning quarterback, ad-mires Snead’s ability. Last year, Spurrier “just noticed the way the ball came out of his hand,” he said.

“He threw almost perfect spirals most every time.”

But, as Spurrier pointed out, “good defense can stop just about any quarter-back. Hopefully we are going to have good defense here Thursday night.”

Spurrier hopes South Carolina can call on its Thursday night success the past few years. The Game-cocks have won five of seven such spotlight games with their head ball coach, including a 38-23 victory in 2007 over an unbeaten and rising Kentucky program.

Two South Carolina starters, receiver Tori Gurley and cornerback Akeem Auguste, both said they committed to Spurrier after watching that win over the Wildcats.

“After the game, I called up ... and told them I wanted to be part of the Gamecock nation,” Gurley said.

Mississippi would love such a boost after this week’s game — and perhaps in bigger profile games to come.

“I do feel like this is a chance for us to kind of prove ourselves,” Snead said of his first Thursday night appearance, “and show the world what we can do.”

Fourth-ranked Rebels enter spotlight tonight vs. Gamecocks

Mississippi tailback Brandon Bolden sprints past a South-eastern louisiana defender on his way to a 44-yard run in Saturday’s game in oxford, Miss. The fourth-ranked Rebels will need as much as they can get out from Bolden as they head into Southeastern Conference play. Their first big chal-lenge of the season comes Thursday night against South Carolina and the SeC’s No. 2 rushing defense.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The College Football Hall of Fame, which never managed to attract the number of visitors its organizers hoped for after moving it to South Bend in 1995, is being moved to Atlanta to bring it more exposure, organizers told the city.

The National Football Foundation notified the city of South Bend in a letter Tuesday that it is terminating its agree-ment with the city when its current lease ends on Dec. 31, 2010.

“We take this ac-tion not because of any failure on your part, but because we have an opportunity to take the exposure of the Hall of Fame to an entirely new level,” wrote Archie Man-ning, chairman of the National Football Foun-dation and the College Football Hall of Fame.

South Bend Mayor Stephen Luecke said Wednesday that he met with football founda-tion officials on Tues-day and they told him that the move would be announced at a news conference Thursday in Atlanta.

Officials with the National Football Foun-dation and the Hall of Fame did not respond to telephone messages Tuesday and Wednesday seeking comment.

Luecke said he was told a group in Atlanta had put together an impressive package, “including some sponsor-ships that we were never able to develop here in

South Bend.”The hall moved to

South Bend from Kings Mills, Ohio, in 1995 to take advantage of its proximity to Notre Dame. Supporters pre-dicted it would attract more than 150,000 visi-tors a year, but it drew about 115,000 people the first year and about 60,000 annually after that.

“I think they feel being in a larger city perhaps will give them better exposure,” Luecke said. “It was a business decision on the part of the National Football Foundation.”

Luecke said he was “deeply disappointed” by the foundation’s deci-sion, but not surprised considering the number of communities that have courted the hall in the past.

“The hall has been a great asset for our com-munity. It has provided national exposure for us and it’s contributed to the revitalization of South Bend,” he said.

Luecke said founda-tion officials had ex-pressed frustration to him when some commu-nity members and city officials had complained that the hall was a finan-cial drain.

The city owns the building that houses the hall.

“So for them, perhaps it was an easier decision that it would have been otherwise,” Luecke said. “I don’t think we kicked them out, but some of those negative comments may have added to their willingness to make a decision to relocate.”

Today’s answer

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Natu-rally, you care about how you are per-ceived by others. But lately you’re notso worried about who thinks you’re“cool.” Your muse is drawing you in,and you are happiest when you un-selfconsciously follow its whims.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).You’re getting to be an expert at stay-ing organized and on track. If everymoment of your day is scheduled,the schedule won’t work. But whenyou block off some downtime, sud-denly all of your plans fall neatly intoplace.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Mostof today’s work is manageable — noteasy and not hard. The tricky part isin having the wherewithal to continuepast the point of boredom. When youdo, things get interesting again. All ofyour work begins to pay off.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).Whether you live alone or with others,you set the emotional climate of yourenvironment. Take steps to improvethat mood. A calm, quiet place to callhome will be essential to your peaceof mind.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Instead ofwondering why you’ve been dealt acertain hand, you’re figuring out howto play it. What you’ve learned paysoff for you. You will respond to prob-lems with an intelligent and preciselycorrect answer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).There’s a great deal of pressure onyou to succeed. That’s why you reallydon’t need critical or bossy peoplearound you. Tell your story to the onewho can listen without offering judg-

ment or direction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Give

yourself an extra 15 minutes to doeach thing you have to do. Moving ata slower and more careful pace, youwill be more confident, loving andpowerful. It’s a small change thatyields tangible results by the end ofthe day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Anold friend who knows you well hasoffered you some great advice. Youheeded it and were delighted with theresults. Now is a good time to recip-rocate that gift with one of your own.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).Take another look at relationship dy-namics. There’s a reason why youfeel more alive around certain peopleand less energized around others.Your vibrant existence requires asolid balance of give and take.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).Doing what feels right was never aproblem for you, but lately you havebegun to wonder whether your intu-ition is off. It’s not. That little kink inyour plan is about to work itself out inan unexpected and fortuitous way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).Your offbeat sense of humor isn’t al-ways totally appreciated, but being alittle bit wacky is just part of the fun.Throw back your head and laugh,and the world will laugh with you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).Shifting winds at the workplace leadto a new alliance. You are not directlyinvolved, but the new breeze is a wel-come one because things were get-ting stale and predictable. An e-mailbrings curious news.
