District close onrevised dress codeGroup will meet with principals to cement changesBy CAITLIN [email protected]

SANFORD — After meeting Thursday, an ad hoc committee of the Lee County Board of Education is a bit closer to settling on changes to the school dress code.

The group decided to attend a princi-pals’ meeting to gauge their reaction to the potential requirements, which include

some signifi cant changes to the student dress code.

The proposed changes to the dress code would require collared shirts, without any labels, graphics or insignias of any kind, except for the manufacturer logo; bottoms must be pants or skirts in solid khaki, black or color and style as approved by the each

SANFORD — The city and county are entertaining a $5 million expansion proposal from Frontier Spinning pro-jected to bring about 15 jobs to the area.

Bob Heuts, director of the Lee County Economic Development Corporation, said both the city and county have agreed to hold pub-lic hearings on whether to provide additional funding for an incentive for Frontier Spinning.

Richard Hayes, chairman of the Lee County Board of Commissioners, said he’s a proponent of doing anything the board can do to help cre-ate jobs.

“At this time, with the

economic climate and we’re starved for jobs, I think it’s a great thing,” he said.

Frontier Spinning, found-ed in 1995, is the second-big-gest yarn spinning company in the U.S. Last fall, Frontier Spinning planned to add a $10 million expansion, creat-ing an estimated 35 jobs. The proposal asked for $249,357

in local incentives: $144,975 from the county and $104,382 from the city.

Heuts said they’ll be asking that that contract be amended to $15 million to combine the two projects.

For this more recent proposal, the county would contribute $69,647 from its general fund to the project; the city, $50,146 with rev-enues from its general fund.

These amounts were determined by examining the taxes that would be paid over a fi ve-year period, Heuts said.

“It’s a competitive game out there today. They have options,” he said of the company, which has other locations across the country.

EDUCATION

By CHRISTINE ARMARIOAssociated Press Writer

MIAMI (AP) — North Carolina was one of 16 fi nalists named Thursday by the U.S. Department of Education in the fi rst round of its “Race to the Top” competition, which will deliver $4.35 billion in school reform grants.

Selected from a pool of 41 applicants are: North Carolina, Colorado, Dela-ware, the District of Co-lumbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisi-ana, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Caro-lina and Tennessee. The winners will be chosen in April, and a second round of applications accepted in June.

“These states are an example for the country of what is possible when adults come together to do the right thing for children,” U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said.

The grants are designed to reward states that have adopted and will continue implementing innova-tive reforms to improve student performance. The money is part of President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus law, which pro-vided an unprecedented $100 billion for schools. Much of that has gone toward preventing teacher layoffs and addressing other budget concerns. The $4.35 billion “Race to the Top” fund is targeted specifi cally for education reform.

Applications were read

and scored by panels of fi ve peer reviewers. Those with the highest average score were selected to visit Washington later this month to present their proposals. The Education Department said it ex-pects no more than half of the money to be awarded in the fi rst phase of the competition.

Duncan said they are setting a high bar in the fi rst phase and anticipate few winners.

“But this isn’t just about the money,” Duncan said. “It’s about collaboration among all stakeholders, building a shared agenda, and challenging ourselves to improve the way our students learn.”

The money may go to a handful of states. In a con-ference call with reporters on Thursday, Duncan said it was a “fair statement” to anticipate a total in the single digits.

One standout rejection: California, where districts have laid off thousands of teachers and slashed aca-demic programs in light of steep budget cuts. Law-makers there wrangled for weeks before passing a package of school reform measures designed to make the state more com-petitive for the funding.

“This decision by the Obama administration demonstrates that we need to be more ag-gressive and bolder in reforming our education system,” Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said.

The Education De-partment asked states to

concentrate their propos-als on four areas priori-tized in the Recovery Act: adopting standards and assessments to better prepare students for ca-reers and college; getting high-quality teachers into classroom; turning around low-performing schools; and creating data systems to track performance.

States also were required to be legally per-mitted to link student per-formance data to teacher evaluations — a measure that created resistance among some teacher unions. Unions also have expressed concern that not all of the “Race to the Top” fi nalists included teacher input in forming education policy in their applications.

Randi Weingarten, president of the Ameri-can Federal of Teachers, said real change can only succeed if teachers and administrators work together.

“As the process moves forward, we hope that every state will work to ensure that teachers’ par-ticipation and input is not simply sought but actually incorporated as an inte-gral part of every stage of this process,” she said.

North Carolina, one of the states named a fi nal-ist, sought $4.69 million over four years to expand use of computer-based assessments that evalu-ate students throughout a school year.

“Every child in this state must graduate pre-pared to go on to college,

a career or technical train-ing,” Gov. Beverly Perdue said. “And we can accom-plish that through innova-tion and rethinking the way we track our students’ progress.”

Critics have questioned the timing, saying the administration is out of touch with state budget needs in putting forward billions in reform at a time when many districts can barely afford basic neces-sities.

Florida’s K-12 educa-tion budget is facing a roughly $1 billion short-fall, including a $778 million reduction in local property taxes because of falling real estate values. The rest is due mainly to increased enrollment from an infl ux of Haitian children displaced by the earthquake there and former private school students no longer able to afford tuition.

“You can always say now is not the right time for change,” said Amy Wilkins, vice president for government affairs and communications at The Education Trust. “But the fact is that improv-ing education is sort of a linchpin in improving the economic health of the country. So we have to do this now.”

Questions have also been raised about the department’s approach in rewarding states that have a history of past success through education inno-vation, rather than those now looking to enact reform.

City, county drug units work together on search warrant

SANFORD — Members of the Lee County Sheriff’s Of-fi ce Narcotics Division and the Sanford Police Depart-ments Tactical Narcotics Team joined forces Thurs-day to execute a search warrant at 242 Stroud St.

At the home, authorities seized approximately 25 grams of cocaine, 631 grams of marijuana, 83 dosage units of metha-done, 53 dosage units of Xanax and $5,664 in currency.

Gregory Wayne Baker, 33, of the home was charged with traffi cking opium, pos-session with intent to sell a Schedule IV controlled substance, possession with intent to sell cocaine, possession with intent to sell marijuana, maintaining a dwelling to store drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Baker was placed in the Lee County Jail under $500,000 secured bond.

TRAMWAY

Convenience storerobbed at gunpoint

SANFORD — A Kangaroo store in the Tramway area was robbed at gunpoint early Thursday morning.

At about 12:05 a.m. Thursday, Sanford police on patrol responded to an armed robbery call at the Kangaroo on Tramway Road.

Two men allegedly entered the business, pulled out a handgun and demanded money from the clerk. Once the clerks complied, the two men left the store on foot.

An offi cer saw the men run from the store and chased them on foot, tak-ing one of the men into custody shortly after the chase began.

Arrested was Jesus Agu-irre, 17, of 250 Mansfi eld Drive in Broadway. Aguirre was charged with one county of robbery with a dangerous weapon. He was placed in the Lee County Jail under a $50,000 se-cured bond.

The second man was described as a Hispanic male, 5’10”, 175 pounds, wearing browns pants and a brown coat. No injuries were reported. The case is still under investigation.


BROADWAY

‘Broadway Our Way’set for April 17along Main Street

BROADWAY — Mark your calendars for April 17, because that’s when the successful Broadway Our Way festival will make its return to Main Street.

According to festival organizers, the festival committee is “hard at work to make the second year of the festival even better than last year’s highly suc-cessful event.”

The festivities will begin with an 8 a.m. “Run the Buck” 5K and will conclude with a street dance at 10 p.m. In between, festival goers will enjoy a wide va-riety of activities, including a street fair, car and tractor displays, and barbecue cook-off.

Children’s activities will be expanded this year and there will be cash prizes for the “Broadway Idol” talent contest.

Live entertainment will be continuous at two venues — last year’s Center Stage at the Broadway Community Center and Stage at the Park at the N.C. Veterans Memorial Park.

Back by popular demand will be Gene Dickens and Second Chance Band, and Sweet Potato Pie. Also, new to the festival will be Broadway’s own Four Heart Harmony, which have won numerous country gospel music awards.

HARNETT COUNTY

Charges droppedagainst clerk

LILLINGTON — A conve-nience store clerk who lost her job after 25 years for allegedly selling alcohol to a minor in 2009 had all charges dismissed recently.

Glenda Wood of Lillington had her case voluntarily dismissed, according to attorney Jesse W. Jones. Wood, who was listed as a “great, loyal” employee by her boss at the time of her termination, said she lost her job after she was ticketed.


MOORE COUNTY

Vass man caught distributing Vicodin

VASS — Moore County Sheriff Lane Carter re-ported Thursday the arrest of an man on charges of traffi cking in controlled prescription pills.

The investigation was conducted by offi cers from the Moore County Sheriff’s Offi ce Narcotics Unit in May 2009 near the Vass area of Moore County.

During the investigation 15 dosage units of Vicodin prescription pills were purchased and seized. Vicodin is a Schedule III controlled substance. The estimated street value of the pills seized is $160.

Derryl Jay Raymond was arrested on Thursday and charged with three counts of felony traffi cking in opium (Vicodin), felony possession with intent to sell or deliver a Schedule III controlled substance, felony sell a Schedule III controlled substance, and felony deliver a Schedule III controlled substance.

Derryl Jay Raymond re-ceived a $125,000 secured bond and was placed in the Moore County Detention Center.


AROUND OUR AREA

College seniors ... think-ing of job hunting any time soon?

High schoolers ... thinking of posting “pics” from that party you weren’t supposed to attend last week?

Everybody out there ... think that the photos you post and the words you use on your social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter can only be viewed by your “friends”?

Think again. A survey from CareerBuilder.

com found that 22 percent of hiring managers screened potential employees through Google and their social net-

working sites. About 34 percent of those who did this found content that made them drop that candidate from their “hir-ing” list.

And there are literally hun-dreds of Web sites dedicated to teaching parents how to moni-tor their teens’ Internet usage (there’s even a social network-ing guide for parents on the Web ... easy enough for even them to find).

The point is this — it’s baf-fling what some of us think is suitable for public view, even if that “public” is a list of friends they believe are the only ones viewing it. A survey conducted

by MTV in 2009 said that one-third of people between 14 and 24 admitted into sex-related activities (sexting) through e-mail or video shared online.

The funny thing about the Internet is once it’s out there, it doesn’t go away.

Ask NBA star Greg Oden. Ask Disney’s Vanessa Hudgens. Ask Paris Hilton.

It’s enough that employers are searching for reasons not to hire you, but now your parents have found their way to Face-book. Your current boss uses it. You’ve probably got third-grade teachers checking in on you to make sure you became the

person they thought you’d be. Privacy is waning. We’re all

wired in somehow. So our advice to you is watch

what you’re posting online. If it’s something you wouldn’t want everybody to see, then it’s a good idea to just keep it out of the digital realm alto-gether. And when it falls into the wrong hands, it’s likely that image or that video or that ill-conceived blog will never go away.

Be smart. Only post things grandma would approve of.

Chances are ... she’s online, too.

More than just your ‘friends’ are watching

Issue: A survey from

CareerBuilder.com found that 22 percent of hiring managers screened potential employees through Google and their so-cial networking sites

ware. More than your friends are watching your Facebook pages these days

To the Editor:Re: The District Attorney’s role in

prosecuting violent criminalsThank you so very much for want-

ing to know Lee County residents’ thoughts on this subject since for the last few months that is exactly what I (and probably most of the other citizens) have been wondering after reading our daily newspaper.

Is Lee County soft on violent criminals?

Yes ... actually, it looks like we’re soft on all criminals.

Is this the fault of the D.A., local law enforcement, nobody or every-body? Well, the local law enforce-ment arrests these criminals, so they are doing their jobs. Then it is up to the D.A. to prosecute them.

Should criminals be punished? Absolutely, that is the DA’s job — to prosecute criminals, which protects law-abiding citizens.

I think it is a great idea that the Lee County Board of Commission-ers supports programs aimed at combating crime, “supports the elimination of plea bargain agree-ments with reduced sentences” and asks the D.A. to set the maximum sentence for those convicted of violent crimes.

But what about considering doing this for all repeat offenders and crimes committed in our county?

It seems that every day, we are seeing worse and worse crimes here in Sanford. The newspaper is full of robberies, rapes, crimes against nature, children being abused and shootings.

Just two recent examples:As a citizen, it infuriated me (and

others) to read on the front page about a man (repeat offender) who raped a helpless person bound in a wheelchair, set free because he had already served his time in our county jail.

Maybe he should have been tried immediately and served his time in a real prison instead of a county jail. And another example is the guy, another repeat offender, who had been in trouble over and over again since 2007 for repeated shootings. Well, he fi nally might go to prison because he actually shot someone this time.

It seems that these repeat offend-ers have already fi gured out that all they are going to get is a fi ne and a slap on their hand for their punish-ment here in Lee County.

What would be wrong if Lee County was the toughest county in North Carolina for criminals? What would be wrong with criminals know-ing not to commit any crimes here because our county pursued the maximum sentences available to punish criminals?

Lee County is our home, and in our home, we should be able to feel secure and safe, not frightened.

WASHINGTON — The most interest-ing political developments violate ideological expectations. Why did Bill

Clinton fi ght for NAFTA and accept an end to the welfare entitlement? Why did George W. Bush push a Medicare prescription drug ben-efi t? In each case, some bold political calcula-tion or deep policy conviction was at work.

So why is President Obama pursuing edu-cation reform with such creative vigor?

In its rhetoric, spending and budget, the Obama administration has promoted two ambitious principles: serious consequences for chronically failing schools, including mass teacher fi rings and takeovers by charters, and the use of student performance to assess indi-vidual teachers and principals.

There is no purely political explanation for this approach. At the last Democratic conven-tion, about one in 10 delegates were members of teachers unions. Unions, not unexpectedly, oppose the wholesale fi ring of teachers. In a number of states, unions have helped pass legislation making it illegal to base teacher evaluation or compensation on student per-formance.

Administration offi cials are careful to point out that measuring student performance by classroom is directed toward rewarding good teachers and improving the performance of marginal teachers, not just weeding out the weakest. A recent Gates Foundation survey of 40,000 public school teachers found a broad hunger for better information about student performance. Good teachers would rather not operate in the dark.

But this kind of data is likely to seed a revo-lution. It introduces a foreign concept — pro-fessional rigor — into public school teaching. Under the administration’s proposals, princi-pals would be given information on individual teacher performance. Over time I suspect that parents would want access to that data as well. Some teachers would be honored or become motivated to change; others would be exposed and threatened. Merit works that way.

The explanation for this emphasis on merit is a potent combination: an obvious national problem (teacher quality), an innovative Cabinet secretary in Education Secretary Arne Duncan and a president willing to back him. The administration used last year’s Recovery Act not only to fund cash-strapped school dis-tricts but also to require and fund turnarounds of failing schools. Duncan’s Race to the Top program has created a national competition among states, with grants going to those that use student outcomes to measure the effec-tiveness of teachers and professional develop-ment programs. States that receive Race to the Top funds can no longer place caps on the number of charter schools or prohibit the use of student test scores in assessing teachers.

These measures are providing momentum for reformers, shown recently at Central Falls High School in Rhode Island — a high-poverty school where 10 percent of students could perform as expected in math and about 55 percent read at grade level. When the teach-

ers union balked at changes that would have required extra duties, district offi cials fi red all of Central Falls’ 93 teachers and staff (up to half can be rehired when the school is reorga-nized under new leadership) — an act which Duncan described as “showing courage and doing the right thing for kids.” The president of the local teachers union complained, “Every-one looks at this as establishing a national precedent.” We can only hope.

In recent years, education reform has proved that bipartisanship is not completely dead. No Child Left Behind resulted from the matter and antimatter, fi re and ice coop-eration of George W. Bush and Ted Kennedy. Republican and Democratic governors have often been led by data and desperation toward the same reform goals.

But with the reauthorization of the Elemen-tary and Secondary Education Act planned for this year, there is also a bipartisan alliance for the betrayal of poor and minority children. Some liberals try to resist any accountability for teachers by blaming the poverty and social circumstances of students themselves, argu-ing in essence, “First solve all the problems of society, then children can be taught.” They are refuted by the existence of high-poverty, high-performing public schools.

Some conservatives object to any policy that involves a federal role in education, no matter how effective. But education policy points to the limits of federalism. States and localities have often protected and perpetu-ated systemic educational malpractice. And it is a basic commitment of justice that when local institutions seriously fail in their duties, higher-level institutions should intervene. Lo-cal authority is the fi rst, best response — but it is not an excuse for Jim Crow laws, or for schools that never succeed and never change.

In this debate, Obama and Duncan have undertaken the right fi ght for the right rea-sons. And credit is due.

Give Obama credit

Your GOPprospectsRALEIGH — Republican political

activists see another 1994 about to unfold before their collective

eyes.They don’t want to miss out. So

they’re fi ling for political offi ce in droves.

With election fi ling in North Carolina just closed, 48 Republicans have fi led to run in the 13 congressional districts in the state. In all 50 state Senate districts, even those overwhelmingly populated by Democratic voters, at least one Republican will be on the ballot come November.

Another round of change, or Obama backlash, would seem to be in the air. Better jump on board.

Sixteen years ago, the crush of elec-toral change surprised winning GOP challengers nearly as much as losing Democratic incumbents. The result was an historic change in the North Carolina legislature, with Republicans gaining control of the state House for the fi rst time since Reconstruction.

Veteran Democratic congressmen, including David Price of North Caroli-na’s 4th District, were ousted by political novices. The wave of anti-incumbency fi ltered all the way down to local races, some not even partisan ...

Surely a repeat is just around the corner. GOP offi cials expect as much. “Republicans are galvanized and they sense a historic opportunity,” state Republican Party chairman Tom Fetzer said as election fi ling closed last Friday.

Fetzer and his friends may end up disappointed.

It’s easy to get caught up in the paral-lels to 1994. Just as then, a fi rst-term Democrat sits in the White House and it’s a non-presidential election year. Just as then, this president has waded into domestic Vietnam — health care reform.

It’s not quite as easy to delve into what could turn out to be signifi cant differences.

Among the most glaring differences is that the fi nancial collapse of 2008 is still fresh in the minds of voters. ...

In the aftermath of that fi nancial collapse, people don’t just distrust politicians. They distrust institutions of authority, period.

Meanwhile, polls continue to show Barack Obama viewed favorably by about 50 percent of the state’s electorate. His numbers are a lot better than Con-gress, an institution of which less than 20 percent of voters express satisfaction.

A more cynical voter and a Demo-cratic president who retains some popularity doesn’t mean that Repub-licans won’t enjoy some gains come November.

It is a mid-term election, and a Democratic majority in the state Senate is clearly in jeopardy as longtime Demo-cratic incumbents retire in several swing districts.

But predicting exactly how the vola-tility of the angry voter of 2010 plays out is beyond anyone’s crystal ball.

That anger may skewer some who to-day believe that they’ll be its benefi ciary.

... he blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness. (Mark 3:29)

PRAYER: Thank You, Father, for forgiving us of our sins, no matter how bad the sin is. Thank You for loving us. Amen.

school’s School Improve-ment Team; and shirts must be tucked in at all times and only closed-toe shoes may be worn.

Committee members still aren’t in complete agreement about the changes: Committee Chairman Frank Thomp-son is in favor of seeing the current policies en-forced, while committee member Shawn Williams would like to see more of an overhaul to the dress code.

“If we would enforce what we got, things would be fi ne,” Thomp-son said.

Many of the proposed changes seem similar to an academic attire policy, though committee mem-bers didn’t want to call it that. Williams argued that uniforms are required in many workplaces, like those of Walmart and McDonald’s.

“We’re not proposing a uniform, we’re proposing dress for success,” Wil-liams said. “We’ve got to give them something we

can enforce.”Superintendent Jeff

Moss agreed that enforce-ment is necessary.

“I think it’s valid to say we’re not enforcing what we already have in place,” Moss said.

Moss oversaw the incorporation of an academic attire policy while working in Beaufort County.

“I’ll support whatever the board adopts and I’ll make sure it’s enforced,” he said. “I’ve lived through the adoption of an academic attire policy. It’s not easy. I think you do need to give notice to parents if that’s the direc-tion you want to go in.”

Moss also warned the committee that there will be those who try to push against some of the rules, as he saw in Beaufort County. Some students or parents may challenge what a collared shirt is, or the ability to wear fl ip-fl ops.

Committee members even questioned their own clothing, wondering what of it would apply to the proposed dress code.

The committee agreed that consistency is key, noting that enforcement

is often left to staff and principals at the schools.

“I think the hardest part of this is administra-tion can all be on board, but then the staff aren’t on board,” Williams said. “I think that’s where it’s going to have to become consistent.”

Support from the board and central offi ce administration is essen-tial in making sure the dress code changes go over well, Moss said.

“You as board mem-bers will get calls from parents,” he told Thomp-son, Williams and com-mittee member Linda Smith.

“The onus resides with the principal ... as to enforcement,” Smith said. “A lot of it is, again, it has to be enforced at the school site.”

Safety issues motivat-ed much of the discus-sion of the dress code changes, like the possibil-ity of mandating dress colors at each school so gang colors aren’t as much of an issue.

The proposed changes also include a list of con-sequences for fi rst and subsequent violations.

“I do like the concept of consistent conse-quences for violations,” Moss said.

Things can get sticky, though, if employees don’t set the example for students.

“Will we model this? Because we have employ-ees that won’t be able to model our student dress code,” Moss said.

The committee will meet with principals March 10 and present the proposed changes. From there, they would like to see the principals elicit feedback from staff before fi nalizing the changes and presenting them to the full board in the next month or two.

“Whatever they de-cide, we’ll back them up,” Thompson said.

“little bit of a solo,” Marsh said.

“She said she’ll be about naked, so don’t be alarmed,” Marsh said, laughing.

Noelle has been practicing for the awards show for since Monday, he said.

“Adam picked her to be front and center,” Marsh said of “So You Think You Can Dance” judge Adam Shankman.

The show airs at 8:30 p.m. on ABC.

“We want them to make it here and provide more jobs. ... We need it des-perately at this time.”

After meeting with Heuts at Monday’s board meeting, commission-ers encouraged him to proceed, Hayes said.

“We’re looking for good, solid partners in the business world,” he said. “This is good. This is a good sign that things are beginning to grow.”

Economic incentives are common, especially now as job creation is needed, Hayes said.

“I think that there’s a difference between sit-ting on the sideline and deciding to do some-thing about job growth,” he said.

Commissioner Linda Shook opposed the last incentive granted to Frontier Spinning.

“My position is the same. These type of tax incentives have not proven themselves,” she said. “Our unemploy-ment rate is worse now

than it’s ever been. If you can’t give them to small businesses, it’s not fair to everyone.”

On the city council’s end, Councilman Sam Gaskins acknowledges that companies have city and county governments in a bind.

“The incentives may not be a good idea in the fi rst place, but we’re in a competitive market,” he said.

He sees it as a posi-tive deal because the city pays nothing up front.

“They purchase capital equipment. We

charge them property tax on that capital equip-ment. Each year they pay property tax, we give half of that back,” he said. “They do the job and we refund them some of the property tax. It defi nitely costs the city money but nothing up front.”

The county will hold its hearing at 6 p.m. March 15; the city’s will be held at 7 p.m. March 16. Both will hear public comments regarding the proposal and decide whether to fund the incentive.

HARNETT COUNTY

Prosecutor attacks credibility of mother-in-law

FAYETTEVILLE (MCT) — A prosecutor attacked the credibility of Abdul-lah El-Amin Shareef’s mother-in-law this morn-ing as Shareef’s capital murder trial continued in Cumberland Superior Court.

The exchange between Assistant District Attor-ney Rita Cox and Denise Stanley became testy at times as the prosecutor tried to punch holes in Stanley’s testimony.

Shareef, 31, of Raeford is accused of stealing two vehicles and running down fi ve people over a two-hour period on April 14, 2004, in Cumberland and Harnett counties.

Stanley said she had worked 11 years in the administration depart-ment of Virginia Cares, a program that provides help for inmates, ex-of-fenders and their fami-lies, and the mentally ill.

Cox asked Stanley why, with her background, she didn’t provide help to her troubled son-in-law and her daughter, Talethia, who is married to Shareef.

“This was somebody in your background you could have helped,” Cox said.

Stanley told defense lawyer Carl Ivarsson that she had no training in the mental health and sub-stance abuse fi elds.

Later, the defense called Shareef’s wife, Ta-lithea, back to the stand. Again, Ivarsson attempt-ed to present his client as a victim of mental illness.

Talithea Shareef testifi ed that during one of her visits with her husband at Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh, he told her he had made a tremor happen in Rich-mond, Va. “He told me he could make the clouds disappear,” she said. “He thought that was special. He wanted to know if I thought it was special.”

Talithea Shareef re-called an incident at her husband’s home some-time after August 2002 when Abdullah allegedly tried to choke their eldest son, who was 2 or 3 at the time.

RALEIGH

Complaint against Realtors dismissedBy GARY D. ROBERTSONAssociated Press Writer

RALEIGH — The State Board of Elections dis-missed Thursday a com-plaint against one of the most powerful interest groups in North Carolina politics over requiring its members to give extra dues largely to fi ght local votes over raising the land sales tax.

Following more than two hours of arguments and testimony, board members determined the 38,000-member North Carolina Asso-ciation of Realtors didn’t break the law when it required up to $75 extra from each member in 2008.

The proceeds went to an “Issues Mobiliza-tion Fund” to extend the association’s efforts to fi ght county referenda to raise the land transfer tax. All of the more than 20 county ballot mea-sures have failed.

Becky Harper, a Wake

County real estate agent who fi led the complaint, argued it was unlaw-ful for them to demand extra dues from her and other Realtors to oppose the land transaction tax. Her lawyer cited a law preventing referendum committees from seek-ing money by threat of “job discrimination or fi nancial reprisals.”

The board deter-mined the law didn’t apply to the association in part because defeating the referenda isn’t the association’s main pur-pose. But board Chair-man Larry Leake criti-cized the association for denying people access to a key home buying and selling database if they didn’t pay the special assessment because they would lose their associa-tion membership.

“If in fact you were going to kick this woman out for not making an assessment payment for this one issue, that’s morally wrong,” Leake

said, but “I’m not sure that we have under this specifi c fact situation a legal peg to hang our hat to address this moral wrong.”

The dues collected from the special assess-ment helped replenish the association’s mobi-lization fund that had already spent more than $1 million since fall 2007 opposing the referenda.

The association spent nearly that much earlier in 2007 lobbying and generating grass-roots opposition to the Legis-lature’s proposal to give counties the authority, with local voter approv-al, to raise the transfer tax on land transac-tions from the current 0.2 percent of the land’s value to 0.6 percent. The change would increase the transfer tax by $800 on a $200,000 home. Counties would keep the extra revenues.

When that effort failed, the association focused on the county-

by-county votes.John Wallace, an at-

torney for the Realtors, said the Issues Mobili-zation Fund had been around for nearly 20 years, and had been used for many other advocacy efforts beside spending money on land transfer tax opposition.

He said the associ-ation’s giving to local referenda committees during 2007 and 2008 comprised about 5 per-cent of the group’s total fi nancial activity dur-ing the period — hardly enough to identify the association as solely focused on referenda.

The Realtors group is a trade association formed under a section of the federal tax code that depends on mem-bership dues to operate, Wallace said.

“Those dues were used to advocate in the interest of the member-ship as the membership had determined its inter-est to be,” he said.

Mother gives birth to child after 4 triesBy JOHN HINTONWinston-Salem Journal

WINSTON-SALEM — Charmara Mahan carefully cradled her son in her arms.

“God bless you,” she said softly when he sneezed.

“I lost fi ve children before him,” Mahan said. “When he was (born), it was a miracle. I still pray. It is a blessing. And I cry all of the time.”

Mahan gave birth to her son, Ra’Shawn Shamar Ratliff, at 7:01 a.m. Feb. 25 at Forsyth Medical Center. He weighs 7 pounds and 1 ounce.

She delivered him af-ter enduring four miscar-riages and the death of infant girl, Lenique, who was born prematurely at 23 weeks.

Her last miscarriage occurred in May 2009, a month before she became pregnant with Ra’Shawn.

“It’s been a story of hope,” she said. “Thank God for his grace and mercy.”

Mahan, 34, works as

a certifi ed nursing as-sistant in the hospital’s emergency room.

She spent much of her pregnancy in the

hospital, as doctors tried desperately to keep the baby from being born prematurely. Twice, surgeons performed an

operation in which they stitched her cervix closed to keep her from giving birth early.

Dr. Andrew Lewis was one of Mahan’s doctors.

“I was honest with her,” Lewis said. “At that point, I didn’t have high hopes for the pregnancy. I wanted to get her to the point where the baby would have a fi ghting chance.”

She spent 11 weeks of her pregnancy in a hos-pital bed, with her legs elevated above her head for the baby’s safety.

Finally, doctors in-duced labor and she gave birth to Ra’Shawn after 10 hours of labor.

Diane Mann, the hos-pital’s perinatal-bereave-ment service coordina-tor, befriended Mahan when Mann was organiz-ing a remembrance last year for parents who had lost babies. Mann said she was thrilled that Ma-han had a healthy boy.

“She hasn’t had a lot of sleep,” Mann said of Mahan. “But that is a cute little boy.”

Insurer: No money for damage at inn that burnedASHEVILLE (AP)

— The company that insured a historic inn in western North Carolina is refusing to pay for dam-ages from a fi re, saying someone associated with the owners is responsible for the blaze.

The Asheville Citizen-Times reported Thursday the owner is accusing former employees of the Richmond Hill Inn of setting the fi re last year that destroyed the inn’s centerpiece mansion as it faced a scheduled fore-closure auction.

Harleysville Mutual In-surance Co. fi led a letter

with the court in January saying it wouldn’t pay the claim seeking at least $6 million. In turn, owner William Gray posted a note on the inn’s Web site saying he wouldn’t be able to reopen because of vandalism, theft and ar-son by former employees.

Harleysville, based in Pennsylvania, main-tains in a lawsuit that The Hammocks LLC, an ownership group of which Gray is a member, “had the opportunity and the motive to commit this arson.”

“The fi re was started by a party acting on be-

half of The Hammocks,” Harleysville said.

The investigation into who started the March 19 fi re remains stalled, said Buddy Thompson, who heads the Asheville-Bun-combe Arson Task Force.

He confi rmed Wednes-day that someone turned off the sprinkler system before the fi re.

“Obviously, there’s somebody out there that knows what occurred, and they’ve not come forward,” Thompson said. “We don’t have the information that we need to be able to bring charges.”

Gray has declined to speak with investigators, Thompson said.

The inn will remain closed for the foreseeable future, Gray said on the inn’s Web site.

“Due to vandal-ism, theft and arson by former employees, Richmond Hill Inn is un-able to reopen on April 1, 2010, as planned,” the site states. “We hope to reopen in the future after extensive repairs caused by these problems. We are sorry to disap-point all of the guests who have supported us through the years.”

NC-based soldiers returning home from Haiti

FORT BRAGG (AP) — Para-troopers from the 82nd Air-borne Division are returning to their North Carolina post after more than a month in earthquake-stricken Haiti.

More than 800 soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment are due to return to Fort Bragg over the next several days. About 3,500 Fort Bragg soldiers fl ew to Haiti to help in recovery efforts after the massive earthquake on Jan. 12 that killed an estimated 200,000 people.

Soldiers helped provide security for groups distribut-ing food and shelter. Army medics treated the injured.

DOT paying back workers for insurance premiums

RALEIGH (AP) — The North Carolina Department of Transportation is investigat-ing why more than 700 em-ployees weren’t told their life insurance policies offered through the state had been canceled eight years ago, and nearly 100 continued to pay premiums.

DOT said Thursday it will refund $160,000 to 93 workers who paid premiums after a worker panel agreed to cancel the policy offering in 2001. The refunds range from several hundred to thousands of dollars.

Transportation Secretary Gene Conti regrets what hap-pened and said the agency is working to prevent similar future problems. The state auditor is also looking into what went wrong.

Power outage slows operations at RDU airport

RALEIGH (AP) — Power has been restored at Raleigh-Durham International Airport after a morning outage delayed some fl ights out of North Carolina.

Airport spokesman Andrew Sawyer says power went out about 10:30 a.m. Thursday as crews were working on an electrical substation. Sawyer says generators powered the airport’s critical systems, such as security check-points.

He says airlines were hav-ing trouble processing pas-sengers through the ticket counter, leading to some fl ight delays.

Committee chairmanships shuffl ed in House

RALEIGH (AP) — There’s been some shuffl ing of committee chairmanships after the recent departures of two members of the North Carolina House.

Democratic Reps. Cullie Tarleton of Watauga County, Earl Jones of Guilford County and Phil Haire of Jackson County have new leadership positions.

Those come following the resignations of Rep. Ty Har-rell and of Margaret Dickson, who is now in the Senate.

House Speaker Joe Hack-ney says Tarleton is now chairman of the House Com-merce Committee, replacing Dickson. Jones is Harrell’s successor as chairman of the Committee on Science and Technology.

50 new probation offi cers on the job

RALEIGH (AP) — Fifty new North Carolina probation offi cers have started work since the beginning of the year as the state ramps up hiring to fi ll a backlog of open positions.

Correction Department spokesman Keith Acree said Thursday the department still has almost 110 open posi-tions as of Thursday, with job offers issued in about three dozen of those slots. About half the remaining jobs are entry-level positions.

The system has been under scrutiny for two years, since two men on probation were charged with killing a graduate student at Duke University and the student body president at the Uni-versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Man gets life in prison for killing sister

GREENSBORO (AP) — A man has been sentenced to life in prison after he pleaded guilty to stabbing his sister to death in North Carolina last year.

The News & Record of Greensboro reported that 43-year-old Connell Ferrell pleaded guilty Wednesday to fi rst degree murder.

Prosecutors say 55-year-old Mary Ferrell Jones was beaten and stabbed in the Greensboro apartment they shared last October.

Ferrell apologized to family members, saying what hap-pened was out of his control.

Complacency could jeopardize air safety

WASHINGTON (AP) — For the third time in seven months, the judgment of those who operate the nation’s air traffi c control system has been called into question and concerns have been raised that complacency may be caus-ing controllers and their supervisors to bend rules.

While major air crashes have declined sharply over the last decade, thanks largely to improved technol-ogy, aviation safety experts say they are seeing signs that vigilance may have eroded.

The latest incident was reported this week: A con-troller twice brought a child to work at the control tower at John F. Kennedy Interna-tional Airport in New York, one of the nation’s busiest airports, and allowed the child to radio instructions to pilots. The Federal Avia-tion Administration has sus-pended the controller and his supervisor pending an investigation of the incident last month.

“This is a stunning ex-ample of a lack of profes-sionalism, not following the rules, not using common-sense,” Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood told a Senate committee Thursday.

More drivers fi le complaints after Toyota fi x

WASHINGTON (AP) — More Toyota drivers say their cars have sped up by themselves even after being fi xed to correct the problem.

Another fi ve people have reported problems to the National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration’s complaint database, describing surges of speed that came without warning. That is on top of at least 15 similar cases found by an Associated Press review of the data on Wednesday.

The complaints, which are submitted online or through a NHTSA hot line, have not been independently veri-fi ed. Government investiga-tors said Wednesday that they had found 10 possible cases of post-fi x problems.

As part of two recalls in-volving more than 8 million vehicles worldwide, Toyota is installing special metal shims and shortening gas pedals to solve the problem of unintended acceleration. The Japanese automaker blames the problem on gas pedals that can become sticky or be trapped under fl oor mats.

Paterson’s stature erodes even in stomping grounds

NEW YORK (AP) — Da-vid Paterson, New York’s fi rst black governor and a product of the Harlem political machine, faced rapidly waning support

Thursday even among New York City’s most infl uential black leaders, while his top spokesman resigned and said he couldn’t “in good conscience continue.”

The Rev. Al Sharpton con-vened a meeting of black politicians at a soul food restaurant in Harlem in an effort to craft a message asking Paterson to resign, according to a senior state Democrat briefed on the meeting.

A state panel accused Paterson on Wednesday of illegally obtaining World Series tickets, then lying about it. That charge came on top of an investigation of whether the governor or staff members had inap-propriate contact with a woman who made — but later inexplicably dropped — an abuse complaint against an aide who had accompanied Paterson to the baseball game four days earlier.

Alabama governor cracks down on bingo machines

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The governor of this Bible Belt state is waging a one-man crusade against gambling — and stirring ra-cial tensions in the process — by sending state troop-ers on late-night raids to shut down electronic bingo parlors.

Republican Bob Riley, a lifelong opponent of gambling, contends the electronic devices are essentially slot machines, which are plainly illegal in Alabama. He formed a task force a year ago to halt their spread.

He has forced the shutdown of more than 30 gambling halls — ranging from modest storefront operations to big, glamor-ous Vegas-style palaces — and idled more than 2,000 workers. Many of the bingo parlors are in poor, black areas.

Black leaders have com-plained that their communi-ties are being deprived of vital jobs and tax revenue.

Levin is acting chair of Ways and Means panel

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Sander Levin of Michi-gan was chosen Thursday as acting chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, a post that plays a major role in health care and billions of dollars in expiring tax cuts.

Levin replaces Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., who stepped aside Wednesday as chair-man while the House ethics committee investigates his fundraising and fi nances.

Rep. Fortney “Pete” Stark, D-Calif., held the acting chairmanship for a day under House rules, but Speaker Nancy Pelosi told a meeting of all House Democrats Thursday that Levin was the choice to run the committee.

He will serve until Rangel’s ethics case is resolved or a new Congress convenes next year.

Obama presses Dems: Seize momentBy ALAN FRAMAssociated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Sup-port from his own party in doubt, President Barack Obama summoned more than a dozen House Democrats to the White House Thursday, plead-ing with them to put aside their qualms, seize a historic moment and vote for his massive health care overhaul.

It’s the opportunity of a generation, he told them — and a chance to revive the party’s agenda after his rough fi rst year in offi ce.

In back-to-back meet-ings in the Oval Offi ce and Roosevelt Room, Obama urged uneasy rank-and-fi le moderates and progressives to focus on the positives rather than their deep disappointment with parts of the bill. The lawmakers said Obama as-sured them the legislation was merely the fi rst step, and he promised to work with them in the future to improve its provisions.

“The president very pointedly talked about how important this is historically,” said Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., “how he needs our help.” Obama told them that “this is an opportunity, it’ll give us momentum’” on other issues,” the congressman said.

Cranking up the pres-sure, congressional leaders said they were hoping for votes on the legislation in as soon as two or three weeks.

White House spokes-man Robert Gibbs told reporters he believes the House is on schedule to approve the landmark legislation by March 18, when the president leaves for an Asian trip, and he can sign it into law “shortly thereafter.”

Concerned about fellow Democrats’ trepidation about a legislative drive that has garnered only modest public support, House leaders expressed optimism but hardly certainty that they would

nail down enough support that soon.

Obama’s revved-up per-sonal involvement, along with the cautious tone of congressional leaders’ forecasts, illustrated the uncertainty still facing the president’s yearlong drive to push his signature leg-islative initiative through Congress. The outcome is important for all Ameri-cans, since the changes would affect the ways nearly everyone receives and pays for health care and failure to act would leave in place a system that many fi nd lacking and that leaves out tens of mil-lions of people.

Under the current strategy, Democratic leaders want Congress to send Obama the nearly $1 trillion health overhaul that the Senate passed in December, plus a separate bill making changes that House Democrats want. But there’s no decision yet on exactly what that second measure will look like.

Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., among 16 lawmak-ers who met with the president, said Obama told them he understands

the shortcomings of the current package.

“He thinks this ap-proach is the way it’s going to get done,” said Lee, who heads the Congres-sional Black Caucus. “He said this is the fi rst step, a foundation that we can build upon. He made a commitment to work with us on all the issues that are outstanding, and there are many,” including a desire by liberal Demo-crats for government-run health plans. That idea is opposed by moderate Democrats and nearly all Republicans.

Of the House Demo-crats Obama met with, all but two voted for a more far-reaching version of the health bill in November. The attendance list spot-lighted the White House’s need to reassure those supporters on the legisla-tion, even as it struggles to retain backing from more moderate Democrats worried about the bill’s costs and its language on abortion.

Another who attended, moderate Rep. Joe Crow-ley, D-N.Y., said, “I think when all is said and done we will have the votes to

pass health care reform.”House leaders were

more cautious about the prospects for the measure, which is virtually sure to be opposed by all Repub-licans.

Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the No. 2 House Democrat, said a March 18 House vote was possible, but he added, “Until we have something concrete, it’s diffi cult to ask people, ‘Can you sup-port this?’”

As if to illustrate that, Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev., a freshman who sup-ported an earlier version of the bill, said she is now undecided, citing ques-tions about what the fi nal measure would include.

“I think what’s hap-pened in my district is there’s a great deal of uncertainty,” she said.

In a sign of movement, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and oth-ers said Democrats have already sent parts of a revised bill to the Con-gressional Budget Offi ce, which will certify its price tag. The nonpartisan bud-get offi ce must estimate legislation’s cost before lawmakers can vote on it.

NEW YORK (AP) — Shoppers returned to the nation’s malls last month, buying a surpris-ing amount of spring clothing and other items and helping stores post the strongest retail sales since November 2007, a month before the reces-sion began.

The better-than-expected 3.7 percent gain reported Thursday showed that Americans are still thrifty, but they

are letting go of some of the frugality brought on by the economic down-turn. And many are will-ing to spend for certain higher-end goods.

Consumers “are now starting to go back to where they had typically shopped” before the recession, said Michael Niemira, chief econo-mist at the International Council of Shopping Centers, who expected a 2 percent gain. “I’m

surprised by the broad strength.”

But, he added, there’s still uncertainty about whether such a robust pace can be sustained, particularly later this year when the sales fi gures are being compared with more stabilized spending patterns.

The February sales report was the third consecutive monthly increase, according to the ICSC. The monthly

index excludes Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which stopped reporting monthly sales last year.

Shoppers shrugged off snowstorms and wor-ries about the economy to visit a broad array of merchants, from luxury retailer Nordstrom to middlebrow Macy’s Inc. to discounter Target Corp., which all reported solid sales increases that beat Wall Street analysts’ estimates.

The Sanford Herald / Friday, March 5, 2010 / 9ANationECONOMY

Retail sales gains strongest since late 2007

WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite doubts among many lawmakers that it’ll create many jobs, the House on Thursday passed legislation giving companies that hire the jobless a temporary pay-roll tax break.

The measure passed 217-201 on a mostly par-ty-line vote. The bill also extends federal highway programs through the end of the year.

Some Democrats feel the approximately $35 bil-lion jobs bill is too puny, while others say the tax cut for new hires won’t generate many new jobs. However, the pressure is on to address jobs and deliver a badly needed win for President Barack Obama and a Democratic Party struggling in opin-ion polls and facing major losses in the upcom-ing midterm elections. Further jobs measures are promised.

“If that’s the only thing that I can vote on ... I’ll vote for it, obviously,” said Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J. “We’ve got to get some-thing moving. We’ve got to get something done.”

“It’s really not a jobs bill,” said Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif. “It’s one small piece.” Lee said

she instead wants money in the legislation for job training and youth sum-mer jobs.

The House had passed a much larger measure in December that con-tained almost $50 billion in infrastructure funding, $50 billion in help for cash-starved state govern-ments, and a six-month extension of jobless aid. That bill conspicuously left out the proposals to award tax credits for hir-ing new workers. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was among those skeptical of that idea.

The Senate responded last week with the far smaller measure that the House is reluctantly accepting. The House amended the measure Thursday to conform with so-called pay-as-you-go budget rules that have become an article of faith among moderate Demo-crats. The rules require future spending increases or tax cuts to be paid for with either cuts to other programs or equivalent tax increases.

The minor tweak means that the notori-ously balky Senate would have to act again before Obama could sign the bill into law.

House passes tax breaks for new hiresBill incorporates Etheridge tax credit

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-Lillington) the only North Carolina-member of the House Ways and Means Committee, voted for the Hiring Incentives to Re-store Employment (HIRE) Act, or H.R. 2847, which passed by a vote of 217-201

“My number one priority is putting North Carolinians back to work,” Ether-idge said. “The HIRE Act will support more than one million new jobs this year, and encourage more businesses to take that next step to come off the sidelines and add employees.”

The centerpiece of the HIRE Act is a hiring tax credit, similar to that proposed in Etheridge’s HIRING Act, H.R. 4437. Etheridge said the bill will spur business investment by putting labor on sale for a limited time, help-ing small businesses expand.

The bill provides a payroll tax holiday to businesses that hire unemployed workers that is estimated to support 300,000 jobs, and encourages employers to keep those workers long-term with a tax credit of $1,000 for business-es that retain these employees.

The HIRE Act also includes another Etheridge proposal to support local school construction, building on the tax credit Qualifi ed School Construction Bonds that were included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The HIRE Act would allow issuers of qualifi ed school construction bonds to receive a direct payment from the Federal government equal to the amount of the federal tax credit.

Etheridge said this modifi cation will help North Carolina’s schools access nearly $500 million in school construction bonds to address our student’s needs and support more than 15,000 jobs in North Carolina.

“This change is a win-win for North Carolina, making sure our communities are building for the next generation and putting workers on the job now,” said Etheridge. “This simple fi x expands access to credit for state and local governments, and creates jobs by building the new schools we need.”

Teens’ double suicide rocks town

NORWOOD, Pa. (AP) — As the high-speed Acela train came thundering down the rails, a teenage girl screamed at her friends to get off the tracks.

But Gina Gentile and Van-essa Dorwart did not move. They hugged as the train bore down on them at speeds up to 110 mph, carrying out a suicide pact that the witness herself had backed out of only moments before.

The loss has shaken Norwood and its neighboring towns just outside Phila-delphia. There were hints the pretty and popular high school sophomores may have been suffering from depression, but experts say such suicide pacts are extremely uncommon — es-pecially among teens.

Pacts are made because suicide is so daunting — and they are broken for the same reason, said Thomas Joiner, a psychology professor at Florida State University.

Gee and Ness, or Gee-Gee and Nessa, were funny, outgoing and as close as sisters, said classmates at Interboro High School in Prospect Park.

Rowdy students block campus amid funding rally

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Rowdy protesters blocked the main gates of a Califor-nia university Thursday amid campus protests across the nation against deep cuts in education funding.

University of California, Santa Cruz provost David Kliger said there were re-ports of protesters carrying weapons and damaging a vehicle. Police did not imme-diately confi rm the reports.

An advisory posted on the school Web site urged people to avoid the campus because of safety concerns.

It said a windshield was reported smashed and protesters had photographed the license plate of a staff member trying to enter the campus.

Marches, strikes, teach-ins and walkouts were planned nationwide in what was being called the March 4th National Day of Action for Public Education.

Organizers said hundreds of thousands of students, teachers and parents were expected to participate in the demonstrations.

Wyoming Gov. Freudenthal won’t seek third term

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal said Thursday he will not seek re-elec-tion, ending speculation that the popular Democrat might try to overturn a state law that would have prohibited him from pursu-ing a third term.

The decision by Freuden-thal, 59, opens the seat in a heavily Republican state. While several prominent Re-publicans have announced they will seek their party’s nomination for governor this fall, Democrats in the state have been waiting to see what Freudenthal would decide.

“I’ve certainly communi-cated to them over time that they shouldn’t be counting on me running,” Freudenthal said of the state Democratic Party. “And I’m hopeful that they’ll fi nd qualifi ed candi-dates.”

Chelsea King suspect investigated for other crimes

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A con-victed sex offender charged with murdering Chelsea King in Southern California is under investigation in last year’s disappearance of a 14-year-old girl and the attempted kidnapping of another teenager, authorities said.

John Robert Gardner III remained jailed Thursday in San Diego County, a day after he pleaded not guilty to murdering the 17-year-old King.

The sheriff believes a body found Tuesday in a shallow grave on the shore of Lake Hodges is that of King, but the medical examiner’s of-fi ce had not yet confi rmed the identity.

Gardner, once described by a psychiatrist as a threat to underage girls, was under scrutiny in two other cases.

FILM REVIEW: ALICE IN WONDERLAND

A new take on ‘Alice’, without much meaningThere is a lot about

Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland”

that’s curiouser and curiouser, but just not much “muchness.” It is a phantasmagorical fever-dream that is both absorbing and banal, a looking glass that reflects Narnia, Middle-earth, and assorted other child-escapist imaginaria while refract-ing its source text.

The argument that Lewis Carroll’s origi-nal 1865 novel “Alice’s Adventures in Wonder-land” predates “The Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings,” and other similar fare is undercut by Linda Woolverton’s updated screenplay, a mash-up of “Alice’s Adventures” with Carroll’s “Through the Looking-Glass” and the creatures inhabiting “Japperwocky,” one of his more famous non-sense poems.

Although these nar-rative liberties may repulse English majors and Carroll purists, they do allow Burton the freedom to emboss the story with his own unique vision. What the director does with this license, however, is a conundrum worthy of a Mad Hatter riddle.

Ten years after her first trip to Underland

(renamed from Won-derland) — which she does not remember — a now 19-year-old Alice (Mia Wasikowska) finds herself at a personal crossroads. Following the death of her beloved father, Alice is due to become betrothed to a man she does not love in front a throng of attend-ees at a Victorian estate party.

Problem is Alice keeps wilting under social pressures and spying a strange white rabbit wearing a waist-coat and a pocket watch which, at the moment of her matrimonial truth, she chases into the woods and once again

down the rabbit hole.There, Alice encoun-

ters a host of familiar characters: the afore-mentioned White Rab-bit (voice by Michael Sheen); the chain-smoking Blue Caterpil-lar (Alan Rickman); Cheshire Cat (Stephen Fry); Tweedledee and Tweedledum; and, of course, the tangerine-hued Hatter, played to Burtonesque delirium by Johnny Depp. Seems only Alice can save Un-derland from the clutch-es of the cruel, bul-bous-headed Iracebeth the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) by slay-ing the Japperwocky and restoring Iracebeth’s

younger sister — the kindly, pacifist White Queen (Anne Hathaway) — to the throne.

Burton has always embraced the senti-ment behind Alice’s query, “What is the use of a book, without pictures or conversa-tions?” There is wonder in the film’s unrelenting visuals, comic spark, and intriguing voice works — I particularly liked the trippy cool of Rickman and Fry, while Christopher Lee is instantly recogniz-able as the Japperwock’s resonant baritone. But, it is a sense of awe not shared by the surpris-ingly aplomb Alice.

Burton’s 3D picto-rial of a young girl’s ar-rested development and reluctant embrace of womanhood belies the fact that Alice’s entire time in Under/Won-derland is spent hav-ing one creature after another tell her where to go and what to do. Her path seems remarkably inevitable, yet somehow the Alice that crawls out of the rabbit hole now is a budding feminist with aims of carrying on the family business and blazing trade routes to China.

The pleasingly zany spectacle of it all comes at the expense of the story’s soul. Beyond their collective lunacy — “We’re all mad here,” the Cheshire Cat fa-mously informs — we barely ascertain any character motivation.

The audience cranes its neck to hear a lone, brief exchange between the regal sisters, hop-

ing for some nugget of exposition about the germ of their animus. The revelation that the Red Queen felt the need to behead her kingly husband passes quickly and without elaboration,much like the emotional undercurrent to her relationship with the head of her Army, the Knave of Hearts (Crispin Glover!).

Woolverton previ-ously penned such inof-fensive Disney offerings as “Beauty the Beast” and “The Lion King.” So, her “Alice in Won-derland” scrub is not that surprising, nor is the fact that it may well appeal to younger view-ers looking for a slightly edgy, mostly palatable diversion — how else to contextualize Hatter’s abominable final act breakdance? For every-one else, another Alice assertion proves apt: “I don’t believe there’s an atom of meaning in it.”

A thin blue fi lm coats Antoine Fuqua’s “Brook-lyn’s Finest,” the director’s welcome needed return to his hardboiled cop drama roots. And, like Fuqua’s “Training Day,” this is a testosterone-fu-eled, actor-driven policier that favors melodramat-ics over originality.

The narrative is a loosely connected triptych following the travails of three ethi-cally-challenged police offi cers: A burned-down fl atfoot on the eve of retirement (Richard Gere), a drug-addled, fi nancially-strapped narc (Ethan Hawke), and an undercover cop dug deep inside the drug network of a local kingpin (Wesley Snipes). The archetypes and clichés run as long as the Brooklyn Bridge, but Fuqua infuses them with incisive character devel-opment that transcends the superfi cial plot and rationed screen-time.

“Brooklyn’s Finest” is a live “Wire” electrifi ed with almost cartoonish intensity. Luckily, the actors walking this beat know the score. While an emotionally distant Gere is miscast, Hawke has perfected the man-on-the-edge role. But, the fi lm belongs to the tre-mendous yet still strange-ly underrated Cheadle, fl ashing the same street-wise verisimilitude and offbeat dialogue that previously informed his performances in “Out of Sight” and “Devil in the Blue Dress.”

Burt Reynolds released from hospital after bypass

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Burt Reynolds’ manager says the actor has been released from a Florida hos-pital after a planned heart bypass operation.

Erik Kritzer said in a state-ment Wednes-day that Reynolds had been sched-uled for the operation for over a month.

Kritzer said Reynolds went into the hospital on Mon-day and was discharged Tuesday.

Kritzer says the star of “Smokey and the Bandit,” “Deliverance” and “Boogie Nights” told him that he has “a great motor with brand new pipes” and is “feeling great.”

Last year, Reynolds spent time in a Florida rehab center after treatment for painkiller abuse following back surgery.

Reynolds is 74.

Barbara Walters ready to end her Oscars TV special

NEW YORK (AP) — Bar-bara Walters says her last Oscars special will be her best.

Walters will sit down with actresses Sandra Bullock and Mo’Nique, both nomi-nated for Academy Awards. Bullock is up for Best Ac-tress for “The Blind Side.” Mo’Nique is nominated for

Best Supporting Actress for “Precious.”

Walters says she believes both will win.

Walters is ending a 29-year-old tradition of talking to celebrities on Holly-wood’s biggest night by bidding farewell in her March 7 special.

While the 80-year-old journalist is known for getting stars to open up and often tear up on camera, she says the celebrity interview has be-come less special in recent years and many stars are overexposed.

Walters isn’t done with television. She’ll continue to do the annual 10 most fascinating people special, co-host “The View” and do occasional pieces for ABC News.

Child services probes stun gun at Jackson home

LOS ANGELES (AP) — An attorney for Michael Jackson’s mother confi rms that child services workers are investigating the pres-ence of a stun gun at the Jackson family home, but he says the late singer’s children were never ex-posed to the weapon.

Attorney Adam Streisand confi rmed the investigation Tuesday but said the mail-order stun gun delivered to the home was confi scated before any harm was done.

Streisand represents Katherine Jackson, who has custody of her son’s three young children, Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II, also known as Blanket. Streisand said the weapon was ordered by the 13-year-old son of Jermaine Jackson, Jafar, and sent to the Jackson family home in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Jermaine Jackson’s chil-dren also live in the home.

“Jafar opened the package in his bathroom and tested it on a piece of paper,” Strei-sand said in a statement. Security and Katherine Jackson heard the sound and confi scated the weapon immediately, he said.

Streisand said Michael Jackson’s oldest son, Prince, saw the stun gun af-ter it was taken by security.

“Blanket Jackson never saw or heard the taser,” Streisand said. “Neither did Paris Jackson. Prince saw the taser in possession of security.”

Streisand said child services workers have not given him or Katherine Jackson an update on the agency’s inquiry. A phone message left for the agency was not immediately returned, but it generally does not comment on its cases.

Same category, same fi lm? Win not likelyBy DAVID GERMAINAP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES — The math is against “Up in the Air” co-stars Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick at the Academy Awards, where they’re likely to be left on standby in the supporting-actress category.

Setting aside Mo’Nique’s front-runner status for “Pre-cious,” performers nomi-nated in the same category for a single movie have a so-so history of winning.

Out of 65 past cases when two or more actors were competing against one another for one fi lm, they went home empty-handed 45 times.

With two actors from the same fi lm among the fi ve nominees, the math-ematical odds are that one of those performers would win 40 percent of the time. Historically, it’s worked out to just under 32 percent — 19 times out of 60 — when two are nominated in the same category for a single movie.

When three are in the running from the same fi lm, the odds rise to 60 per-cent that one of them will win. The reality is just 20 percent — there has been only one winner — Robert De Niro as supporting actor for 1974’s “The Godfather Part II” — out of the fi ve times when three actors have been up for the same category from a single fi lm.

The fi rst time multiple actors from one fi lm com-peted for the same prize was at the 1935 Oscars, when Clark Gable, Charles Laughton and Franchot Tone all were nominated for best actor for “Mutiny on the Bounty.” Victor McLaglen won for “The Informer.”

Four years later, both supporting categories featured two nominees for the same fi lm, Harry Carey and Claude Rains for “Mr.

Smith Goes to Washington” and Olivia de Havilland and Hattie McDaniel for “Gone With the Wind.” McDaniel won, while Carey and Rains lost to Thomas Mitchell for “Stagecoach.”

Over the next 30 years, there were 31 instances when two or more co-stars from one fi lm were nominated in the same category, but only four times where one of those performers won.

Then they went on a

tear from 1970 to 1984. During that span, there were 19 cases when multiple actors competed against one another for the same fi lm, and one of them won 13 times.

Among those winners: Ben Johnson as supporting actor for 1971’s “The Last Picture Show,” his com-petition including co-star and current best-actor favorite Jeff Bridges; Tatum O’Neal as supporting actress for 1973’s “Paper Moon,” her competition including co-star Madeline Kahn; Peter Finch as best actor for 1976’s “Network,” his competition including co-star William Holden; current best-actress nomi-nee Meryl Streep as sup-porting actress for 1979’s “Kramer vs. Kramer,” her competition including co-star Jane Alexander; and F. Murray Abraham as best actor for 1984’s “Amadeus,” his competition including co-star Tom Hulce.

Since then, mul-tiple nominees from one movie have fallen back into drought mode. There were 12 times from 1985 to 2008 when two performers were up against each other for the same fi lm, but only two won: Dianne Wiest for 1994’s “Bullets Over Broadway,” her competition including co-star Jennifer Tilly; and Catherine Zeta-Jones for 2002’s “Chicago,” her competition including co-star Queen Latifah.

CHILE EARTHQUAKE

Pakistan: Another Afghan Taliban in custody

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pak-istan’s intelligent agents have arrested a senior Afghan Taliban commander, offi cials said Thursday, the latest move in a crackdown against the insurgent net-work in Pakistan.

Agha Jan Mohtasim, a for-mer fi nance minister for the Taliban before the U.S-led invasion in 2001, was de-tained in the southern city of Karachi, two intelligence offi cials said. They did not say when the arrest was made, and spoke on condi-tion of anonymity because they were not authorized to give their names to the media.

Pakistan and Afghan offi cials have said at least four other Afghan Taliban leaders have been arrested in Pakistan in recent weeks, including the No. 2 leader of the movement, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar.

Iraq early voting shattered by deadly blasts

BAGHDAD (AP) — A string of deadly blasts shattered an early round of voting in Iraq Thursday, killing 17 people and highlighting the fragile nature of the country’s security gains ahead of crucial parliamen-tary elections this Sunday.

Iraq security forces were out in full force, trying to protect early voters in an election that will determine who will lead the country through the crucial period of the U.S. troop drawdown and help decide whether the country can overcome its deep sectarian divisions.

But three explosions — a rocket attack and two sui-cide bombings — showed the ability of insurgents to carry out bloody attacks. They have promised to disrupt the voting with violence.

“Terrorists wanted to ham-per the elections, thus they

started to blow themselves up in the streets,” said Dep-uty Interior Minister Ayden Khalid Qader, responsible for election-related security across the country.

Thursday’s voting was for those who might not be able to get to the polls Sunday. The vast majority of early voters were the Iraqi police and military who will be working election day — when the rest of the country votes — to enforce security. Others voting included de-tainees, hospital patients and medical workers.

Strong earthquake hits Taiwan; injuries reported

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — A powerful 6.4-magnitude earthquake rocked southern Taiwan on Thursday, terrify-ing residents, disrupting communications and trigger-ing at least one large fi re. Twelve people were injured, the National Fire Agency said.

No tsunami alert was issued. The quake was cen-tered in the same mountain-ous region of rural Kaoh-siung county that endured the brunt of the damage from Typhoon Morakot, a devastating storm that killed about 700 people last August.

Taiwanese actor Chu Chung-heng said he and other passengers were close to panic when the high-speed train on which they were traveling was dislodged from its track by the quake.

“Many people in my car were screaming,” he said. “I was so scared that I couldn’t make a sound. The train shook very hard and I thought it was going to overturn.”

Rail service in southern and central Taiwan was suspended, as was the state-of-the-art subway system in Kaohsiung city, Taiwan’s second largest with a population of 1.5 million. Kaohsiung is about 250 miles (400 kilometers) south of Taipei.

WORLD BRIEFS

Haitian family survives 2 quakesSAN BERNARDO, Chile

(AP) — The Desarmes family left their native Haiti two weeks after the devastating Jan. 12 earth-quake, joining the eldest son in Chile for what seemed a refuge from the fear and chaos of Port-au-Prince.

Their sense of security lasted barely a month. It was shattered at 3:43 a.m. Saturday when one of the most powerful quakes on record shook a swath of Chile.

All the Desarmes’ im-mediate family survived both quakes. But twice cursed, the family now sleeps in the garden of a home that the eldest son, Pierre Desarmes, found for them just south of the Chilean capital of Santia-go. They fear yet another temblor will strike.

“I left my country and came here because of an earthquake,” Seraphin Philomene, a 21-year-old student and cousin of Desarmes, said Wednes-day. “And here, the same thing!”

“My God, I left my country and I didn’t die, but I’m going to die here!”

Pierre Desarmes, 34, managed to get his fam-ily out of Haiti thanks to personal contacts at the Chilean Embassy in Port-au-Prince and the Chil-ean armed forces. Nine members of his family — his parents, two broth-ers and their families, and three cousins — arrived in Santiago on a Chilean air force plane Jan. 23.

Desarmes, the lead singer of a popular Haitian reggaeton band in Chile, still gets choked up when he recalls seeing his family

for the fi rst time stepping off the plane.

“I saw them but I didn’t believe it. I said, ’My God, they’re here.’ It was a very diffi cult moment,” he said, speaking in French in the garden of the house the family now calls home.

“Each time I think about it, I get sad, because I realize I was able to do this because I was here. But there are so many people who are there and I don’t know what’s going to happen to them.”

His relatives had to leave Haiti with only hours’ notice, receiving instructions on where to go via cell phone text messages from a rela-tive in the United States who was in contact with Desarmes in Santiago. Philomene didn’t even have time to pack, dash-ing to the Chilean Em-bassy when she received word the family had been cleared to fl y out.

Saturday’s earthquake has made a diffi cult transi-tion even more traumatic.

“When the aftershocks

come, they refuse to stay in the house,” Desarmes said, sipping a Coke at a table in the garden, his relatives sitting nearby.

“I have to talk to them all day long telling them: ‘There are no problems, it’s a country that’s prepared for earthquakes, it’ll pass, it’s not so bad.’ But they don’t hear me. Psychologi-cally for them, they’re still really affected by it.”

Desarmes’ brother, Stanley Desarmes, 32, is deeply unsettled. The father of a 2-year-old girl, Nelia, who plays in the yard, he worries for his family’s safety and is thinking about uprooting them again to move some-where with less danger of earthquakes.

“I don’t know what I can do, but staying isn’t pos-sible,” he said. “I could die and I could lose my fam-ily. I have to leave. I don’t know where, I don’t know how. But I don’t want to die with my family here.”

Philomene, his cousin, plans to stay, hoping to bring the rest of her family

to Chile. She was the only member of her immediate family to get out because she was living with the Desarmes in the Haitian capital to fi nish her stud-ies. Her mother, father, twosisters and a brother are still in Cap-Haitien, a town in northern Haiti about 90 miles from the capital.

“I’ve had no news from them,” she said, choking up.

Reached late Wednes-day by The Associ-ated Press in Cap-Haitien, Philomene’s father, Luigene Philomene, was elated at the news that his daughter was safe. He said he hadn’t heard from her since before Chile’s earthquake and had been trying to reach relatives in Port-au-Prince for an update.

The elder Philomene said when he heard that his daughter had been in the Chile earthquake he thought of a Haitian saying that loosely translates as “we saved her from the river and she ended up in the sea.” Now he feels she has divine protection and the 43-year-old said he would eagerly join his daughter in South America if he could.

“God is looking for out for us,” he said. “Our family didn’t die in Haiti so they aren’t going to die in Chile either.”

Francius Pierre, a cous-in of Seraphin’s in Port-au-Prince, had already learned from a brother that his relatives in Chile survived. Pierre, a univer-sity student who injured his knee in the Haitian quake, said Seraphin and his other relatives moved from Haiti for safety.

NFL FAVRE: NO DECISION YET ON PLAYING AGAIN

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Brett Favre says he still hasn’t decided whether he’ll play again next season.

Appearing on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” Thursday, the Minnesota Vikings quarterback told Jay Leno he’s not going to say anything anytime soon and that he just plans to sit back and enjoy the offseason for now.

Favre is the NFL’s career leader in nearly every major passing category and a three-time league MVP. The former Green Bay Packer had one of his best seasons ever after deciding to play for his former bitter rival in Minnesota.

But Minnesota’s overtime loss in the NFC championship game at New Orleans Jan. 24 left the 40-year-old battered. He has said his main concern was whether his body could hold up for another season.

GEORGETOWN’S FREEMAN HAS DIABETES

WASHINGTON (AP) — George-town’s leading scorer Austin Freeman has been diagnosed with diabetes, leaving his status uncertain for the team’s upcoming games.

Freeman returned to practice Wednesday and Thursday after missing Monday night’s loss to West Virginia. He was also limited in Saturday’s loss to Notre Dame.

Originally thought to have a stomach virus, Freeman learned he had diabetes when he went to the hospital Monday night.

27 ARRESTED AFTER MARYLAND BEATS DUKE

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Police arrested 27 people, including some University of Maryland students, after hundreds of basketball fans turned confrontational near the College Park campus, authori-ties said Thursday.

Police spokesman Cpl. Larry Johnson said about 1,500 people poured onto U.S. Route 1 near a stretch of clubs and bars in Prince George’s County at about 11:30 p.m. Wednes-day, after No. 22 Maryland beat No. 4 Duke 79-72.

The initial celebration with people cheering and jumping turned chaotic as some parad-ed around with detached street signs. County police, campus police and mounted units from the Maryland-National Capital Park Police responded. TV footage showed people running from offi cers on horseback and police in riot gear. An offi cer can be heard telling them to “move, move,” and others are seen patting down and shoving young men.

Expectations still set high for CavaliersBy RYAN [email protected]

SANFORD— Although the season didn’t quite get off to the start he hoped for, South-ern Lee baseball coach Matt Burnett’s expectations are high for this season’s Cavaliers.

With a returning nucleus of talent and some new additions,

Burnett feels like the Cavaliers will be able to compete for yet another Cape Fear Valley Conference championship, which will help give them a decent draw in the 3-A playoffs at season’s end.

“I really think this team can win a state championship,”

Diamond NoteThe Cavaliers have typically

contended for conference titles with their pitching and defense, and the style should be the same in 2010. With two of their three starting pitchers returning to go with quality defense up the middle, Southern Lee is seeking a deep postseason run.

Camels ousted from tourney

MACON, GA. — Micah Williams scored a career-high 32 points — 23 in the second half — and East Tennessee State rallied for a 72-64 win over Campbell Thursday in the quarterfi nal round of the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament at the University Center.

The fi fth-seeded Bucs (18-14) scored 51 second-half points, hit 55 percent from the fi eld after intermis-sion and extended their win-ning streak to four games since a 79-57 loss Feb. 19 at Campbell.

ETSU will face 8th-seed-ed Kennesaw State on Friday at 6:30 p.m. in the semifi nal round. Second-seeded Jack-sonville will meet the winner of Thursday’s nightcap between 3rd seed Belmont and 6th seed Mercer in the other semifi nal.

Williams made 9-of-14 shots, 4-of-6 threes, and all 10 of his free throws to eclipse his previous career high by 10 points. Tommy Hubbard added 18 points (10-of-12 from the line) and 8 rebounds, plus 3 steals.

Jonathan Rodriguez led fourth-seeded Campbell (19-11) with 20 points on 8-of-15 shooting to close his career with 2,153 points, the third-highest total in A-Sun history. The 4-time all-conference selection also fi nished with 1,066 career boards, second-most since the league was formed in 1978. He is one of 101 players in NCAA Division I history to score at least 2,000 points with at least 1,000 rebounds in his career.

Senior Miles Taylor added 14 points (4-of-8 fi eld goals, 6-of-6 from the line), while Junard Hartley scored 10 points and dealt 7 assists. Campbell’s 2nd-leading scorer, Lorne Merthie fi n-ished with 8 points and fi ve steals, but hit only 2-of-11 from 3-point range. The sophomore guard closed the regular season as the league’s most accurate 3-point shooter in conference games (.452).

ETSU moved in front for the fi rst time all day in the midst of a 15-4 run that put the Bucs ahead 39-33. CU cut the margin to 46-45 on Miles Taylor’s bucket with 7:30 left, but ETSU coun-tered with a 12-2 push as Williams had 10 points in the burst, and pushed the gap to 58-47 with 5:01 left.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Duke lost a gut-wrenching game and an opportunity to claim a coveted champion-ship Wednesday night, yet the potential gains from the game weren’t lost on the Blue Devils.

“A game like this is good for both teams,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said following a 79-72 loss at Maryland. “Our guys responded in this atmosphere.

They were in a position to win, and I’m proud of that.

“This wasn’t a game where we didn’t play hard or we played stupid _ it wasn’t any-thing like that.”

The loss dropped the Blue Devils (25-5, 12-3 ACC) into a fi rst-place tie with the Terrapins in the ACC standings (22-7, 12-3) with one game left for both. Maryland visits Virginia on Saturday afternoon (1:30 p.m.,

DAYTON, Tenn. — The Grace Christian Lady Crusaders are playing in a national tourna-ment.

SPORTS SCENE

IN BRIEF

Paulus’ next trick — play in the NFLSYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP)

— After playing point guard at Duke and quarterback at Syracuse, Greg Paulus is ready for a new frontier — the NFL.

“You dream of these things. To have this op-portunity, I wanted to take advantage of it,” the 23-year-old Paulus said as he prepared for Thursday’s pro day before at least a dozen NFL teams at Syracuse. “In the back of my mind this was defi nitely something I wanted. Hopefully, we’re going to get some positive feedback. I’ll do the best I can.”

Paulus ended his one-year career with the Orange with two school records — most completions and highest completion rate. He started all 12 games of a 4-8 season, completing 193 of 285 passes (67.7 percent) with 14 interceptions and 13 TDs for 2,024 yards.

Orange head coach Doug Marrone, in his rookie year

at his alma mater, tabbed Paulus as the team’s starter in preseason camp last Au-gust — less than a week after seeing him throw a pass in person for the fi rst time.

“Only having since the end of May, you only have two or three months to build your arm strength,” said Paulus, who was voted a team captain before the season by his new team-mates. “That wasn’t enough. Now that I’ve been doing it a certain amount of months straight and preparing for this time, it’s gotten a lot stronger. It’s not even close.”

Paulus has been working out with Orange strength and conditioning coach Will Hicks and has boosted his weight to 204 pounds, up from about 180 when he arrived.

“I feel good about that. I’m always trying to get stronger, faster, continuing to build footwork,” Paulus said. “I didn’t have as much time to prepare for the

season. Being able to work on footwork has been a huge thing. Being able to throw on a consistent basis has allowed my arm and my timing to be better. I’m just trying to continue to get better.”

Hicks said Wednesday that the 12 to 15 NFL teams Syracuse expects at pro day all want to take a look at Paulus.

“Considering when he fi rst got here, he’s made great progress as far as his body weight, strength, core stability, arm strength, those type of things,” Hicks said. “I’ve been getting a lot of interest ... He’s going to have a legitimate opportunity. He’s a hard worker, he’s got all the charisma and leader-ship skills and the smarts. I just hope he improved enough physically to give himself an opportunity.”

Paulus’s unique college athletic career entered a new stage just days after the Duke basketball season ended last spring. He worked out for the Green Bay Packers and had contact with more than 20 college programs before deciding Syracuse was the best fi t.

Paulus handled the tran-sition to football well when one considers he played for a team that had won a total of 10 games the previous

four seasons and whose of-fensive line was constantly in fl ux as Marrone perse-vered with a depleted roster.

“You have to respect him just coming in here, not playing the game for four years, not knowing any of his teammates,” said Chris Gedney, an All-American tight end at Syracuse in the early 1990s and now an analyst on football broadcasts. “Everything was new again. I thought he did exceptionally well with handling himself, and that’s the biggest thing.

“It’s hard to train for football. You’re not really building,” Gedney said. “You’re trying to maintain what you’ve put together with a little bit of emphasis on growth. It’s a grind, but if the team’s got a good conditioning program and you continue to grow, who knows where your ceiling’s at?”

Paulus was a record-setting quarterback at Christian Brothers Acad-emy in Syracuse. As a senior running a spread offense, Paulus threw for 3,700 yards and 43 touchdowns in a 13-0 season. He fi nished his prep career with 11,763 yards and 152 touchdowns passing and was named 2004 Gatorade High School National Football Player of the Year. Maryland beats

GREENSBORO (AP) — Ly-netta Kizer had 22 points and 10 rebounds to help Maryland hold off North Carolina 83-77 on Thursday in the fi rst round of the Atlantic Coast Confer-ence tournament.

Tianna Hawkins added 13 points and 11 rebounds for the ninth-seeded Terrapins (19-11), who saw a 16-point second-half lead whittled all the way to two in the fi nal seconds before holding on. It was a big win for the defending tournament champions, who had lost eight of 12 to put their NCAA tourna-ment hopes in jeopardy.

Mohammed, Chandler return to practice for Bobcats

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Char-lotte Bobcats centers Nazr Mohammed and Tyson Chan-dler have returned to practice following injuries.

A team spokesman says both players will be listed as game-time decisions for Friday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Mohammed has missed the past fi ve games with se-vere back spasms. Chandler has sat out seven straight games with left foot and ankle pain. The injuries have left recently acquired Theo Ratliff as Charlotte’s starting center.

Sabbatini: Woods will play well; how will fans be?

DALLAS (AP) — Rory Sabbatini once made headlines for calling Tiger Woods “more beatable than ever,” and that was long before the world’s No. 1 golfer put his career on hold to straighten out his personal life.

So, how does Sabbatini expect Woods to play once he returns?

“We all know you don’t just have a talent like that and it disappears,” Sabbatini said Thursday. “It’s going to be there, it’s going to return. He’s going to be playing well. It’s go-ing to be interesting to see how his mental game is, how his head is in regards to keeping his focus out there.”

He also said it’s going to

be interesting “to see the reaction of the public to Tiger.”

“Obviously he’s always been the golden boy of the spectators,” Sabbatini said. “It’s defi nitely going to be interesting to see how they react to that, how they respond to it when it occurs.”

Accused doctor resigns from CFL’s Toronto Argos

TORONTO (AP) — A doctor accused of selling an unap-proved drug has resigned as team doctor of the Canadian Football League’s Toronto Argonauts.

Dr. Anthony Galea resigned in early February after work-ing for the team since 2003, Argos spokeswoman Beth Waldman said Thursday. She said she doesn’t know the reason for the Canadian doctor’s resignation.

“Dr. Galea resigned as our team doctor so we’re no longer associated with him,” Waldman said.

SPORTS BRIEFS

WRAL), hours before Duke hosts North Carolina (9 p.m., ESPN).

Given what was on the line and the emotional energy between Duke and Maryland regardless of records, the Blue Devils didn’t want to lose under any circumstances.

Still, the circumstances could benefi t them going forward into postseason play.

The game was just Duke’s fourth one all year _ all on the road _ where the game was up for grabs in the fi nal seconds, and just the second one where the teams entered the fi nal minutes on even terms.

While Duke rallied to make the loss at Wisconsin interesting in the clos-ing seconds, and Boston College did the same in its home game against Duke, the only game before Wednesday that went to the wire virtually even was Duke’s loss at Georgia Tech nearly two months ago.

“We had courage to shoot and take it, and it didn’t go in,” Krzyzewski said. “We’re not coming off the Eastern front here, not ready to fi ght again. We’re ready to fi ght. My team is a bunch of fi ghters.

“There are no blank stares. There’s disappoint-ment.”

Duke junior Nolan Smith was among the disappointed but seemed far from distraught. After Duke went through a brutal shooting stretch midway through the sec-ond half _ missing 13 of 14 shots as a four-point lead turned into a fi ve-point defi cit _ Smith responded with three strong scoring plays toward the basket in less than two minutes to reclaim the lead for Duke.

A couple more inches, and Smith could have been celebrating rather than contemplating. He had Duke’s last best chance to pull it out, but his 3-pointer with 1:05 left and Duke trailing 71-69 bounded off the front of the rim.

“I thought it was a great shot, and the coaches were happy with it. It’s great go-ing forward to know that if we’re in a tough situation like this, guys aren’t going to be afraid to shoot,” Smith said. “I think I can defi nitely take something out of this. I grew up tonight.

“I’ve been growing up all year, getting more and more confi dent. In an atmosphere like this, this is where players are made. I really felt confi dent.”

The world’s 711th-ranked player — who needed to survive a pre-qualifi er, then a Monday qualifi er, then a playoff, just to get into the fi eld at PGA National this week — shot a 4-under 66 on Thursday, one shot back of Nathan Green and Michael Connell after the fi rst round on a windy and unseasonably cool fi rst day at the Honda Classic.

“I needed a day like today like, you have no idea,” Rocha said. “And it was for nobody. It’s for myself.”

The Honda is only his fourth PGA Tour event; the last was in 2003, and he’s never made a cut. He lost his European Tour card last year and got status earlier this year on the Asian Tour, only after deciding that he wanted to continue playing golf for a living.

The IOC had much to do with that. First, they awarded the 2016 Summer Olympics to his native Brazil, then added golf to that program. Rocha — who didn’t know a word of English when he arrived at Mis-sissippi State — took those moves as signs of what he was supposed to do, so he recommitted to the game with hopes of fi nally making something happen.

Uncapped season begins today for NFL

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL has swallowed the poison pill.

When the league and the players association reached a new collective bargaining agreement in 2006, a clause called for eliminating the salary cap in 2010. Both sides assumed an uncapped sea-son would be so distasteful that a new contract would be fi nalized long before the cap disappeared.

Even when the owners opted out of the CBA in 2008, little thought was giv-en to an actual removal of the salary cap that gener-ally has been benefi cial for both owners and players.

On Friday, pro football’s salary cap dies. Free agency begins under a whole new set of rules, and no one is sure where it will lead — perhaps even to a work stoppage in 2011.

Yes, the most profi table and popular sport in Amer-ica is entering territory even more uncharted than the end zone was for the St. Louis Rams last season.

“The situation we’re

walking into is certainly unknown for everyone,” Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik says. “So no one can really look at the crystal ball and say here’s what people are going to spend and here’s what people aren’t going to spend. It’s all pure speculation.”

Marc Ganis, president of Chicago-based coansult-ing company Sports Corp. Ltd., thinks teams will be tightfi sted.

“That’s one of the pos-sibilities in the uncapped season, will some teams be spending far below the cur-rent fl oor, especially teams that perform poorly on the fi eld?” says Ganis. “Teams will have the option of spending the amount on their team that they think it is worth. A 4-12 team does not have the caliber players a consistently 12-4 team has.

“I expect the small and midsize market clubs are going to start to pay in this uncapped year based on what they can afford.”

But sports agent Joe Lin-

ta, who represents Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco among others, is optimis-tic the pocketbooks will remain open. His thoughts echo those by many of his colleagues:

“The owners are all wealthy,” Linta says, “and as much as they need and want to make money, the need to win is greater than the need to make money — they already have plenty. Their insatiable desire to win will override their greed to save and make money. So, yeah, they’ll spend.”

Some can spend more than others. But the crop of unrestricted free agents contains few difference makers and is inferior to the group of restricted free agents.

Under the CBA that expires next March, the top conference semifi nal-ists from January’s playoffs have extra restrictions in signing free agents. The fi -nal four, for example, must lose an unrestricted free agent (UFA) before they can sign one.

FedEx Cup Leaders

said Burnett, who enters his fourth season as coach of the Cavs. “Two of our top three arms are coming back and we have four returning defensive starters. There’s no doubt that we can contend this season.”

The season got off to a rocky start as the Cavaliers lost 3-2 at Ragsdale in their season opener on Thursday night. However, Burnett was pleased with how close the Cavaliers competed with one of the top 4-A programs in the state.

“I thought we played them very tough,” said Bur-nett. “We were competitive all the way through. The kids were a little disappointed that we couldn’t pull out the win, but I was very pleased with our performance.”

Jeffrey Ward, the team’s designated hitter, was 2-for-3. Walt Podruchny, the returning third base-man for the Cavaliers, was 1-for-3 with an RBI. Andrew McNeill, who started on the mound, was 1-for-2 with a double. Jared Kehegias was 0-for-3, but his walk drove in the other run.

“That’s a stout baseball team that we just played,” said Burnett. “They’re Divi-sion-1 all the way down in their lineup. Their No. 3 hit-ter has committed to South Carolina next year and their No. 4 guy is going to ECU. They’ve got a great program.”

Filling the void left behind by departed All-State catcher Daniel Haire is Nick Mauld-in, who started most of last season while Haire battled injuries. Kehegias, who trans-ferred from Lee Christian, is also expected to make an impact for the Cavaliers.

“Mauldin could have started immediately at any other program,” said Burnett. “He came here and has done great things. He was just behind an All-State catcher. This will be his chance to really shine this year. Jared is still young but I think he’ll improve tremendously over the years for us.”

Also gone from last year’s team that finished tied for first in the conference and lost in the first round of the playoffs is starting pitcher Matt Baker. McNeill will be doing most of the biggest pitching on the mound. Ward and Podruchny will also be key on the mound for the Cavs this season.

“McNeill is going to be our horse,” said Burnett. “We’re going to need him to come up big for us. He’ll also provides a big bat for us in our lineup. Jeffrey Ward has done a great job so far in relief for us.”

Also back is senior A.J. Jackson, who should provide some leadership in the out-field for the Cavs.

Gone from the Cape Fear Valley Conference are former strong programs Triton, Harnett Central and South Johnston. With new teams like Douglas Byrd and Westover in the conference

this season, Burnett still feels that the Gray’s Creek Bears, the reigning co-champions of the conference, are the team to beat.

“Our conference is still going to be tough,” said Burnett. “There’s a lot of new faces with the additions of Douglas Byrd and Westover but the team to beat, I think, is Gray’s Creek. Every game with them this season will be like a playoff atmosphere because we’re both going to want to win.”

At the end of the month, the Cavaliers will travel to Chattanooga Central High School in Chattanooga, Tenn., for a midseason tour-nament. Burnett feels that the spring break trip will help his team in two teams.

“It’ll help us to get away together as a team and build some camaraderie headed into the second half of the season,” said Burnett. “It’ll also help a lot of our players get exposure on a national level. It’s definitely a win-win for us and we’re looking forward to it.”

Burnett hopes that the immense hard work the Cavaliers put in during the offseason will pay off at the end of the season.

“We’ve got a lot of the same faces back again for us,” said Burnett. “These guys are hungry and eager to win. They’ve worked hard throughout the offseason. These guys have a tremen-dous work ethic and anyone can step up on any given night.”

B4SCOREBOARD

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating a guy who is wonderful, caring — everything a woman would want. There’s just one problem. When he takes off his shirt, he has an extremely ugly mole. It looks suspicious and is irregularly shaped. I can’t stand looking at it, but my eyes are drawn to it like to a car wreck. To top it off, it has hair growing out of it.

I know he probably pays no attention to it because it’s on his back. But I see it staring back at me. How do you tell a loving and caring man that you’re turned off by his scary mole?

— GROSSED OUT IN OKLAHOMA CITY

DEAR GROSSED OUT: Because man was not born equipped with a rearview mirror, it takes a car-ing friend to tell him — or her — what’s going on behind his/her back. It’s not necessary to say that you are “grossed out” at the sight of the mole. All you need to say is: “Honey, you have a large, irregu-larly shaped mole on your back that looks suspicious. It doesn’t look right, and you need to have it checked out by a dermatologist as soon as possible because I’m worried about you.”

DEAR ABBY: It’s tax season, and once again, my husband and I are faced with our annual

“conflict.” We buy a tax program for our computer and do our own taxes. Every year, one of our daughters has my husband do her taxes. After he completes them, he returns the forms so she and her husband can sign them. The problem is, they never pay the taxes they owe.

My daughter and son-in-law owe thousands of dollars, and I know they risk being audited by the IRS. If that happens, I am sure the kids will say that my husband actually did the taxes, which could draw us into their problem. It might even target us to be au-dited. I don’t want to be dragged into this potential problem. My husband thinks I’m being silly and borrowing trouble unneces-sarily. What do you think?

— HONEST TAXPAYER IN WISCONSIN

DEAR HONEST TAXPAYER: Be-cause your husband is preparing

the tax return as a favor and not being paid, I doubt he will get into trouble. But there’s a good chance your daughter and her husband will. What she needs to do is contact the IRS and work out some kind of workable pay-ment plan. And as loving parents, you and your husband should encourage them to act like re-sponsible adults and do that.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 48-year-old divorced man who has been

dating a divorcee for five years. Last night I asked her to marry me, only to be told she was not ready and afraid of being hurt again.

Should I stay in this relation-ship, or stop seeing her and try to start another relationship? I’m afraid that staying in this one much longer will prevent me from finding someone else who would marry me.

— REJECTED AND DEJECTED IN OHIO

DEAR DEJECTED: After five years of dating, the lady should have some idea of how trustwor-thy you are. Because she’s gun-shy, offer to go with her to some counseling sessions in order to allay her fears. If she’s willing, continue the relationship a little longer. If she’s not, then your instincts are correct, and it’s time to move on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Money, contracts, deals and, in general, getting ahead monetarily are apparent if you take charge. A relationship you have with someone spe-cial will be enhanced by the decisions you make. Negotiations will favor you. 5 stars

People in Old Testament knew heaven

Q: Did people in Old Testament times go to heaven when they died? Or is heaven reserved only for people who lived after Je-sus came? I haven’t found anything about heaven in the Old Testament. -- Mrs. L.D.

A: Heaven was meant for people of faith in Old Testa-ment times just as much as it is for us. It’s true that God didn’t reveal as much about heaven to them as He has to us, but they still understood that heaven was their fi nal home -- just as it is ours.

I think of Job, for example, who in the midst of his suffering and loneliness still knew that some day he would be in God’s pres-ence forever. He declared, “After my skin has been destroyed, yet in my fl esh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes -- I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!” (Job 19:26-27). Or think of the familiar words of King David in Psalm 23 -- words of hope and confi dence in God’s promise of eternal life. He wrote, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. ... and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever” (Psalm 23:4,6).

Yes, they believed God’s promises of heaven -- but you and I have even greater certainty, because Jesus Christ has opened heaven’s door for us. Only one thing will keep us out of heaven, and that is our sin. But Christ came to take away our sin, and because of His death and resurrection we can be saved.

MY ANSWERODDS AND ENDS

Mice infest UK’s Westminster Palace in London

LONDON (AP) — The House of Lords has a momentous decision to make: Should it get cats to chase the mice that have infested one of Britain’s most famous buildings?

London’s Houses of Parliament, also known as Westminster Palace, has rodents, and the peers aren’t exactly sure what to do about it.

Ivan Anthony Moore-Brabazon, the House’s administration chief, on Wednesday turned down suggestions to acquire cats. He says the felines could ingest mice poison or wander around the chamber and disrupt busi-ness.

He favors the current tactic of using poison and mousetraps.

Parliament staff have reported daily sightings of the rodents in the palace’s restaurants and bars.

S.C. cop stops go-cart, arrests man on drug charges

UNION, S.C. (AP) — A go-cart wasn’t much of a getaway vehicle for a South Carolina man.

The Herald-Journal of Spartanburg reported that sheriff’s deputies have arrested 29-year-old Edward Matthew Sweezy of Union after they stopped him last week at an intersection in Union.

The deputy had heard a report of a stolen go-cart and turned on his lights and siren after spotting it less than a half mile from Sweezy’s home.

Sweezy is charged with resisting arrest, pos-session of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and public drunkenness.

The deputy’s report says the men struggled and the offi cer spotted a crack pipe and a bottle with three pills inside.

Utah man determined to get arrested gets his wish

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A man rebuffed in an attempt to get arrested, finally got his wish when he went for an officer’s hand-gun.

Unifi ed police documents said the 54-year-old transient tried to turn himself in at the jail last weekend but an offi cer told him he had no reason to arrest him. At that point, police said the man grabbed for the offi cer’s gun saying, “Maybe I’ll try suicide by cop.”

Police said he failed in getting the gun and he also changed his mind about want-ing to go to jail because he began to resist.

The man, who was described as belliger-ent and appeared to be intoxicated, was subdued and jailed.

And he might have gotten more than he bargained for. Police said he was hit with several charges including a serious felony of disarming a peace offi cer.

Ky. deputy tries to shoot his way out of cell

COLUMBIA, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky sheriff says a claustrophobic deputy has lost his job after accidentally locking himself in a jail cell and trying to shoot his way out of it.

Adair County Sheriff Ralph Curry tells WKYT-TV that no one was hurt when Charles Wright fi red his weapon.

It happened Monday, the fi rst day a new $12.4 million county judicial center was open to the public after more than a year of construction.

Curry says the former deputy has claus-trophobia and has agreed to pay for the damage he did to the cell.

T hough the world is constantly changing, this phrase is still around.While it might be helpful to those mothers who are at the end of their

rope, it sure does give dads a bad rap. After all, dad doesn’t know what’sawaiting him behind the front door. Although his children might be rightfullyapprehensive, they know that he loves them even though he expects them tobehave. Therefore, some appropriate repercussion is not a surprise.

Like dad, Our Heavenly Father loves us even more than we can imagine.His words to us are found in the Holy Bible. Though we may causeourselves grief when we do not obey, God still forgives us when we ask Himto. His love never wavers. Psalm 115:11 reassures us, “You who fear him,trust in the Lord – He is their help and shield.”

Worship this week and learn more about your Father’s eternal andunconditional love.©

be conducted for con-sideration of the fol-

lowing two (2) amend-ments:

ment to Section 5.33.5.7 to allow new government-owned

amendment would no longer require a per-

ment to Section B,subsection c.2 to re-

vise the current lan-guage for the “Certifi-

cate of approval ofde-
