Southern Vance soccer bus hit by car during road tripBy ERIC S. ROBINSONDispatch sports eDitor

A bus carrying Southern Vance High School soccer players to a match in Chapel Hill was rear-end-ed on Interstate 85 Wednesday.

The blue Vance County bus was struck from behind by a Saturn, which became wedged underneath the bus.

“In my 28 years of coaching, I’ve never been involved in anything like that before,” said Southern Vance soccer coach Mike Rotolo, who was driving the bus.

“I’m so glad nobody got hurt.”Rotolo said it took a couple of

hours, two tow trucks and flooring the bus accelerator to dislodge the Saturn from underneath the bus.

The wreck occurred on Inter-state 85 South near the Redmill Road bridge, The (Durham) Herald-Sun reported. Rotolo said he was traveling about 55 mph, and had not applied the brakes before he heard the impact.

“I didn’t know if we backfired, but I could feel a jolt,” he said.

Rotolo didn’t realize the vehicle was stuck underneath the bus until he came to a stop and surveyed the wreckage. He said that a sheriff’s deputy, who heard the noise, reported to the wreck, and within a short time more officers, paramedics and a fire engine were on the scene.

The driver of the Saturn was re-portedly cited for a traffic offense.

The soccer match against

Chapel Hill High School, which was scheduled to start at 6 p.m., was postponed and has been ten-tatively rescheduled for Oct. 15.

Southern Vance soccer play-ers returned to Henderson before 7 p.m., and were at the school before the conclusion of the Southern Vance-Durham Riverside volleyball match.

Rotolo admitted he was “a little nervous” following the accident be-cause his neck and back felt a stiff.

“I’m definitely going to go get checked out,” he said.

Southern Vance has a home soccer match with J.F. Webb scheduled for tonight at 6 p.m.

The panel responsible for recommending projects for Golden LEAF Foundation grants totaling roughly $2 million will meet Oct. 21 to question the initial top-five applicants and hear 10-minute presentations from them.

The scoring results from a process that members of the se-lection committee recently com-pleted were presented to them Wednesday night when they met in the Civic Center at Vance-Granville Community College.

When they get together on Oct. 21, those on the panel will already have the written replies to specific questions answered in advance by the representatives for the projects.

There is no guarantee that those who show up for the question-and-answer session will get anywhere close to what they are asking for, or even make the final cut when all is said and done.

Many of the others on the lengthy list could still be in the running for some of the fund-ing, depending on the outcome, according to Pat Cabe, vice-pres-ident of Programs/Community Assistance And Outreach with the foundation.

The Zoning Board of Adjustment granted a special use permit for the reopening of the former America’s Best Value Inn, with a list of extensive and strict requirements.

And City Attorney John Zollicoffer said the motel operator would still have to obtain a permit from the building inspector and to receive the okay from the fire marshal.

The board on Tuesday afternoon cast a 4-1 vote for the permit after taking a tour of the property at 200 Parham Road and af-ter approximately an hour of discussion and question-ing at City Hall. Board member Thomas Badger was the lone dissenter.

Board member Ruxton Bobbitt, in leading the vote, said, “I’ve never seen anything like this,” a refer-ence to his having served the past 12 years, except for an approximately 18-month period.

“What I saw today is a very old building that could be brought up to code and they could legally reopen it, but for me to make a motion to approve, it would be based on a tremendous amount of conditions, none cosmetic,

because you can’t enforce that,” Bobbitt said.

Those conditions are as follows:

• The motel operator will provide air quality test results satisfactory to state health code levels.

• A security camera system will be installed to monitor the entire facility.

• The motel will be al-lowed to use the first floor, subject to an engineer-approved closing procedure of the second floor of the two-story building. The motel management said more time is needed to work on the second floor before a reopening. The top level had been closed off to all but the property manager and a couple of others after a fire.

• The second floor will not be occupied or rented until the entire building is approved by the fire marshal, the fire inspector and Vance County’s code enforcement arm.

• There must be documentation showing the property is cleared of building code violations by the county’s code enforce-ment arm.

• There must be docu-mentation of approval of the building and the swim-ming pool by county health officials.

Citizens for Animal Protec-tion of Warren County (CAP) is sponsoring a free rabies clinic for Warren County cats and dogs on Saturday, Oct. 17 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The event will be held at the Warrenton Lions Club Parking Lot, 249 W. Ridge-way St. Vaccinations will be administered by Dr. Laureen Bartfield and her staff. The clinic is also offered to those with a Littleton address.

Organizers of the clinic have asked that the following

guidelines be observed:• People should remain in

their vehicles with their pets. A volunteer will come to the car.

• One-year and three-year vaccines will be available. To receive a three-year vac-cine, the owner must show a valid rabies certificate; a tag on a pet’s collar is not sufficient proof of vaccina-tion.

• Cats must be in a carrier.• There is a limit of 10 ani-

mals per vehicle.

In North Carolina, if a pet does not have a current rabies shot and is exposed to a rabid animal, the pet must be killed or quarantined for six months at the owner’s expense. State law requires that all dogs and cats over four months of age be vaccinated.

Rabies is a disease caused by a virus that can infect all mammals, including humans. It is usually contracted by a bite and is almost always fatal to animals and people once signs of the disease appear.

For humans, immediate treatment by a doctor after exposure will prevent develop-ment of the disease.

Rabies is present in North Carolina. Since people’s pets may be exposed to rabies through contact with other animals, pets should be vac-cinated against this disease by a veterinarian or a certified rabies vaccinator.

Funds for this free rabies clinic were raised at the Citi-zens for Animal Protection’s “Pawfest” fundraiser.

Students and instructors in the criminal justice program at Vance-Granville Communi-ty College recently completed a service project to collect supplies for local children in foster care. VGCC students coordinated the project with the departments of social services in Vance and Warren counties. Donations will ben-efit children in the foster care system in those counties.

The project is an example of “service-learning,” an in-novative teaching and learn-ing strategy that integrates community service with academic instruction. Among the items donated by college students, faculty, staff and members of the community were school supplies such as book bags, paper and pencils; comfort items such as teddy bears; and hygiene products like toothpaste, toothbrushes and shampoo. In addition,

$110 in cash was donated, which will be used to buy gift cards that will be distributed

to the social services agen-cies. The agencies will be able to use the gift cards to buy

needed items for children, once the donated supplies are exhausted.

Students involved in the project included (front row, from left) Etasha Cheek, Rashunda Henderson, Tiffany Branch, Amanda Carroll, Keysha Towler, Jay Boyer and Derrick Knight; (back row, from left) VGCC Administrative Assistant for Business and Applied Technologies Betty Jo Ellis, Tommy Overcash, Winfred Crawford, Brandon Ray, Criminal Justice instructor Andrea Ferguson, Raymond Dunn, William Yarbrough and Charlotte Hedgepeth.

Evaluating the hopefuls

LEAF, from page one

• The motel must have an established rate sheet.

• The motel will be sub-ject to a bi-annual inspection of the second floor, with the details to be reported back to the city staff.

• Police will monitor the property on a regular basis.

• And if there is a re-sumption of the pattern of numerous calls to Emer-gency 911, then police will have the ability to declare the property a nuisance and take appropriate action.

• The motel manage-ment will have to comply with all conditions set by Henderson’s technical review committee, which include not letting the property be an extended stay facility and not allowing cooking in rooms.

The Fire Department on June 15 shut down the motel for safety violations after responding to an anonymous complaint about unsafe conditions. The ac-tion additionally came the day after a fatal shooting on the property.

Police Chief Keith Sidwell called the location “a flop-house.”

Appearing before the board on Tuesday were Tara Chand, of Miami and who is the new operator, Ken Sheth, who is the manager, and Eula Simmons, who is the assistant manager.

The three said they would bring the property up to code and additionally said cosmetic improvements would be made to the prop-erty, but they faced ques-tions and statements from board members.

Bobbitt said, “It’s difficult for me to go through that

building and look past a lot of cosmetic problems, issues, air quality, code violations.”

Board member Marchita Vann pressed Chand about what he is willing to do for the property and how much he is willing to spend, noting, “We saw mold in there. It needs to be painted. It’s dusty. You have a lot of problems.”

Chand said he is ready to do whatever is required, noting, “We have a couple of hundred thousand” dollars budgeted for an upgrade and noting he has spoken with a bank, which he said is ready to provide financ-ing.

And Sheth later added, “Please believe me, my boss is never so stingy not to spend money. He will spend money.”

The motel, which is located off Interstate 85 and North Garnett Street, was once part of the Howard Johnson chain. And Sheth said he would like to bring the location back to the sta-tus of a Howard Johnson.

Sheth said the eventual plan is for 110 rooms at a 60-percent occupancy rate, with Simmons saying the daily rate would be $45, plus tax.

“We’re going to need something to bring in busi-ness,” Simmons said of set-ting this charge for a room.

Badger expressed con-cerns about the financial plan, with Sheth agreeing, but maintaining no one in the motel business turns a profit in the first few years in operation and noting the need for time to build a good reputation.

“We are in half-deep wa-ter up to here,” Sheth said under questioning from an-other board member, Cathy Ringley, about finances. “We don’t have a way to back out, obviously.”

Sheth, while acknowledg-ing the situation is a mess, noted more than $100,000 has been invested in a nearly complete fire alarm system and said he and his boss will overcome the troubles.

Fire Chief Danny Wilk-erson told board that, “They didn’t cut any corners on the fire alarm system, I got to give ’em that,” and added that the system is “top notch.”

At the same time, Wilk-erson said the second floor should not be closed without an engineer presenting a plan. The building is designed such that, if one blocks off some of the areas to the upstairs, then one simultaneously is blocking off some of the exits from the first floor, Wilkerson said.

Additionally, City Plan-ning Director Erris Dunston presented the board with E-911 records showing there have been 267 calls for ser-vice to the property dating back to January 2007.

That prompted Ringley to question Simmons about what would be done to relieve the burden on the police.

Simmons said plans include 16 cameras and a system in which the doors to the front would automati-cally lock at 9 p.m., with late arrivers having to check in at a window.

And, Simmons added, “I made a ban list” of potential

troublemakers based on a check of past records of motel guest files and said guests would have to be age 21 to check in for a room.

And Steth said the motel would have a security per-son at night.

Ringley remained con-cerned prior to the vote, not-ing the $45 pricing strategy and the ban list in saying: “They’re not targeting this hotel, this motel toward people coming off of the interstate, are they? I mean, they’re looking at, basically, a place where you go over to Ambassador Inn, you hang out, andthen you party.”

The Ambassador Inn & Suites is across Parham Road from the former America’s Best Value Inn.

Simmons afterward told the Dispatch said she was pleased with the board’s decision, adding that, “We have a lot of hope” and that, “We’ll do everything else to comply.”

Badger afterward told the Dispatch, “I don’t believe what they told me” and cited the E-911 records. “And it’s a dump,” Badger added.

“I don’t think it’s doing Henderson any good,” said Badger, who favors con-demning the property and tearing down the building.

Board member Duane Townes was absent from the meeting. Board mem-ber Richard Brand had to abstain because, under the board rules, he was not pres-ent for the previous meeting in which the matter was discussed and tabled.

OXFORD — Walgreens will open for business on Friday, with a grand open-ing to be in two weeks, said Tanya Weary, assistant to the city manager/downtown development director.

The Walgreens is at the corner of Hillsboro Street and Linden Avenue at the southwestern edge of the central business district. Weary said the project represents an investment of more than $5 million into the Oxford community.

Word of a new Walgreens in Oxford had been circulat-ing at least as far back as the spring of 2007. Then-Walgreens spokeswoman

Carol Hively said the com-pany, which is the nation’s drugstore chain, had looked at Oxford.

In October 2007, Mayor Al Woodlief told this re-porter that Walgreens was eyeing Oxford’s central business district as a place to build a new store. Hively at the time said she could not confirm or deny Wood-lief’s statement.

In June 2008, Hively said Walgreens would have a store in Oxford sometime in 2010.

For northern Granville County residents, the near-est Walgreens is at Oxford Road and Dabney Drive in Henderson. That store is just yards away from a competing CVS pharmacy.

In Oxford, CVS has a location with a remodeled exterior at Williamsboro and Lanier streets at the eastern edge of the central business district.

Walgreens becomes the second major chain business to open a new store in Ox-ford in less than a month.

On Sept. 16, the ribbon was cut on the Walmart Supercenter off U.S. 15 near the Interstate 85 inter-change.

The supercenter re-placed a box-like Wal-Mart discount store at Granville Corners at Linden Avenue and Industry Drive near I-85.

Oxford Walgreens opens Friday

Officials of the new Hen-derson Collegiate Charter School asked Vance Com-missioners Monday night for use of the Clark Street Elementary School building as a three-year site after it is abandoned at the end of this school year.

Appearing before the commissioners were Nancy Jo Smith, chairwoman of the board of directors; Dr. Cornelius Cathcart, a board member; and Eric Sanchez, co-founder and school plan-ner.

They told the County board members that the Charter School would ac-cept the Clark Street prop-erty “as is,” would maintain it in good condition at their own expense, and would be willing to share the facility with the Boys & Girls Club, which is looking for space.

In an Aug. 26 letter to County Manager Jerry Ayscue, Smith said the charter school’s board of directors hopes it will eventually become a tenant in the proposed Zene Street/REEF tobacco warehouse conversion project.

“We would propose oc-cupancy on July 1, 2010, which corresponds with the completion date scheduled by Vance County Schools for its new elementary school,” she wrote.

Saying that “the inner city children are our target population,” Smith referred to the Clark Street prop-erty as “an ideal temporary location.”

If the Clark Street site is allowed to become vacant

for even a short period of time, she said, “the repair costs associated with van-dalism and non-attention would be very high.”

The Vance Commission-ers agreed Monday night to have their Property Committee consider the charter school’s proposal, and to report back with a recommendation at the full board’s regular meeting on Nov. 2.

“I can’t think of a better use for it,” Commissioner Danny Wright said of the Clark Street building.

“I also applaud your efforts and I’m willing to support your use of the site on a temporary basis,” Com-missioner Deborah Brown told the charter school officials.

Commissioner Eddie Wright voiced approval of their plans to begin with a fourth grade containing more than 100 students.

He said that is a good age in terms of helping children learn life and social skills, as well as academic subjects.

In other business, the Commissioners approved submission of a $40,000 grant application to the Abandoned Manufactured Home Clean-up Program.

The grant would be used to help begin the County’s Abandoned Manufactured Home Abatement Program in the current fiscal year.

According to a plan ad-opted in June and amended in July by the Board of Commissioners, the program would indirectly offer a financial incentive to remove the units from prop-erties throughout Vance.

The plan states that “Measures will be taken to ensure that all demolition debris is properly disposed of, or recycled at designated demolition sites.”

It also said “The goal of the program is to reduce the number of properties that pose a threat to the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Vance County.”

The proposal to submit the application was pre-sented to the board Monday night by Planning Director Jordan McMillen.

In other business, the Commissioners approved a resolution to accompany the County’s application to the North Carolina Rural Cen-ter for a $40,000 planning grant for a proposed sewer line along Raleigh Road.

There is a requirement of a 10 percent match, which amounts to $4,400.

The five- or six-mile stretch under consideration would start just outside the Henderson city limits, and would run along U.S. 1 to Kittrell.

Also Monday night, the Commissioners approved the Board of Eduction’s request for ADM funds totaling $47,720 for renova-tion work at 10 schools.

In other business, the board agreed to allow filling of these position vacancies:

• A Detective Sergeant in the Sheriff’s Office.

• A Social Worker II in the Work First Unit of Social Services.

• A Detention Officer in the jail.

Hagan backs amendment on Camp Lejeune water

WILMINGTON (AP) — North Carolina’s junior sena-tor has added an amend-ment in a bill to prevent the Navy from dismissing claims regarding water contamina-tion at Camp Lejeune.

Sen. Kay Hagan’s amend-ment, also sponsored by Republican Sen. Richard Burr, passed Tuesday night. It prevents the Navy from dismissing claims until two Centers for Disease Control studies are completed.

The CDC’s health study and water model could take two years to complete. Hagan said the studies are critical to prove if the expo-sure to chemicals resulted in illnesses.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — An environmental group says state data show all 13 coal-ash ponds owned by two utilities in North Carolina have contaminat-ed groundwater nearby.

The Charlotte Observer reported that Appalachian Voices analyzed the data about groundwater near the ponds owned by Duke Energy and Progress Ener-gy. Its report detailed 681

examples of testing near the ponds that showed pollutants exceeded state standards.

Duke and North Caroli-na environmental officials say they see no evidence contaminated groundwa-ter is flowing from the ponds to neighborhoods.

Coal-burning plants leave behind ash, which is filled with metals that can be toxic at high levels.

It’s often mixed with water and piped into open ba-sins. The practice is under scrutiny after a ruptured dike in Tennessee spilled 5 million cubic yards of sludge in December.

Contaminated groundwater found near ash ponds in N.C.

RALEIGH (AP) — A leader of a General As-sembly panel examining energy exploration off the North Carolina coast says the state should consider working with neighbors to ensure its interests are protected.

Doug Rader with the Environmental Defense Fund in Raleigh said Wednesday that North Carolina needs to watch potential oil and natural gas drilling or alternative energy initatives off the coasts of Virginia or South Carolina.

A oil and gas lease sale off the Virginia coast

is scheduled early next decade. Virginia’s state geologist told the offshore energy advisory panel two potential wind energy projects also are being discussed.

Rader said it would be unfortunate if North Carolina has no say about projects that could affect negatively the North Caro-lina coast, or can’t share in profits in nearby ventures.

Prior to being elected, Atkinson served in the Department of Public Instruction for nearly 30 years as a chief consultant and director in the areas of business education, career and technical education and instructional services.

The Outstanding Busi-nesswoman of the Year presentation will be made to a chamber member who haas demonstrated significant leadership at her company and who has promoted the advance-ment of women within her profession and community.

Nomination forms are available on the chamber’s Web site, www.granville-chamber.com, or ast one of

the office locations.There will also be a

display of hats which have been crocheted and knitted by North Carolina Cor-rectional Institution for Women inmates for their children from whom they are separated.

The H.A.T.S. (Hand-crafted And Totally Spe-cial) project is part of the community outreach and education work of chamber member Our Children’s Place.

Lunch reservations for the anniversary meeting are due by Tuesday, Oct. 27.

The cost is $15 for chamber members and $18 for nonmembers.

To make reservations, contact Wanda Garrett at 693-6125 or granvil-lechamber@embarqmail.com or Theresa Haithcock at 528-4994 or theresa@granville-chamber.com.

ROUND ROCK, Texas (AP) — Dell Inc. said Wednesday it will close a desktop computer manufacturing plant in Winston-Salem, N.C., by the end of January.

The computer maker said 905 people will be laid off, with around 600 to be let go next month. The plant was opened in 2005.

Dell was promised more than $300 million in state and local incentives to open the plant. But it was required to invest $100 million, create 1,700 jobs by September 2010 and

maintain those jobs for 10 more years. If those terms weren’t met, the company would forfeit the incentive package.

Dell said it would comply with the terms of the incen-tive agreement.

The plant closure is part of a plan to save $4 billion a year at Dell by 2011.

In June, Dell sold its Lebanon, Tenn., remanu-facturing plant to Genco. In January, Dell said the company would move its Ireland manufacturing operations to Poland, a pro-cess that is still ongoing.

Dell has plants in Miami, Nashville, Austin, Texas, Brazil, Ireland, Poland, China, Malaysia and India. It also partners with other manufacturers to make certain products.

Shares of Round Rock, Texas-based Dell fell 19 cents to $15.32 in after-noon trading.

I’m proud to be a part of Granville Health System, where delivering quality care and excellent customer service are always our top priority.

“As a woman and a MRI technologist at granville medical Center, I’m excited to see how our new digital mammography is improving the lives of our patients. I am also very proud that my hospital was the first in our service area to incorporate the innovative technology of digital mammography.

With our new digital mammography system, there’s no waiting for film to be developed and it uses much less radiation than conventional mammograms. Digital images are immediately available and can be shared with multiple physicians almost instantly. Our technologists can evaluate digital images as they’re taken, simultaneously adjusting view points on the system. That means women who choose Granville Health System for their mammograms spend less time in the exam room.”

Health care for all — except 18 million

“We do recognize that he has a tough decision, and he wants ample time to make a good decision. Frankly, I support that, but we need to remember that every day that goes by, the troops that we do have there are in greater danger.” — House Republican leaderJohn Boehner, in a statement as President Barack Obama has yet to signal whether he is prepared to send any more troops to Afghanistan — either the 40,000 his top commander wants or a smaller buildup, according to several officials.

“He has proved himself to be a philanderingcriminal disguised as a U.S. senator.” — CREWS Executive Director Melanie Sloan, after Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a letter to the ethics committee and the FBIalleging that Sen. John Ensignimproperly tried to appease hismistress’ husband with a lobbyingjob and made phone calls on behalf of the man’s clients.

Democrats on the Senate Finance Com-mittee Wednesday were pleased that the panel has drafted health care legislation which would, according to the Congressio-nal Budget Office, expand health insur-ance to 94 percent of all Americans at a 10-year-cost of $829 billion.

Congratulations, Democrats, on a job expensively and incompletely done.

The Finance Committee’s proposal actually is the closest anyone has come to offering what Democrats say they can deliver: Health reform that Republicans might support, and that covers all Ameri-cans, while saving money.

The Senate Finance Committee’s bill would not allow the government to sell health insurance in competition with private companies — a key sticking point for Repub-licans. And the CBO says the plan might actually save $81 billion over 10 years; the only reform plan Democrats have offered (in our recollection at least) that hasn’t been identified as adding to the deficit.

But even this plan isn’t what President Barack Obama claims to seek.

Those who call for a major reformation of the U.S. health care system frequently point to the roughly 15 percent of Ameri-cans who are uninsured. That amounts to about 45 million people, some — if not many — of whom simply choose not to pay for insurance. Most who by choice don’t invest in health insurance are young, healthy and simply don’t believe that they need it. That’s why some reform plans, including Obama’s latest sugges-tion made to a joint session of Congress in September, would require even those indi-viduals to buy their own insurance, if they don’t qualify for government coverage.

And that, Obama said, would create coverage for all, at a 10-year price tag of less than $900 billion.

Health coverage for everyone has long been an Obama goal. In August, the New York Times reported that Obama called health care for all Americans “a core ethi-cal and moral obligation.”

An obligation that, in the Senate Finance Committee, doesn’t extend to 6 percent of all Americans; some 18 million people.

Apparently for $829 billion we still can’t cover those folks.

Rollin’ … Rollin’ … Rollin’ on the vote countIt was supposed to be pretty

simple.The Board of Elections gets

the numbers from the precincts telling us who the voters picked. Our reporter calls the numbers in to us on the telephone — one precinct at a time. We put them into a spreadsheet that does the calculating for us. And we share the results with you, our readers, as the numbers are adding up.

Simple. Until the numbers don’t add up like they should.

Time was, the election wrapped up in the wee hours of the night and the newspaper didn’t have to worry about a precinct-by-precinct report until the next day’s newspaper. Lots of time to crunch the numbers.

Technology now gives us a chance to provide what we call “breaking news” in this busi-ness.

We’re all familiar with televi-sion looking at partial voting results (and those dreadful exit polls) and projecting winners. Who can be the first to say who won?

We weren’t so interested in projecting winners as we under-took our online coverage of the City of Henderson Municipal Elections on Tuesday night. We simply wanted to provide you, our readers, with a chance to see how the election was develop-ing as, first, the absentee and One-Stop voting results were announced and, then, one-by-one, the results came in from the seven precincts participating in the race.

Since the technology allows it, we wanted you to be able to see, too, how each candidate did in a precinct — how your neighbors voted — and what the final per-centages were — on the night of the election. And, if we were the first to announce who had won, that certainly would be OK, too.

In the 2007 municipal elec-tion, I recall, the tallies were in and the races over by shortly after 8 p.m. This year, it took a little longer.

We were pleased to be able to report the final results from

the Vance County Board of Elections by shortly after 9 — it was 9:01 p.m., to be exact. The board had told us to expect everything to come in very quickly — virtually all at once.

It didn’t move as quickly as we had expected, but they were right about it all coming at once when it finally came.

We immediately posted the winners on our web site and sent our new breaking news alerts to those who subscribe to our new service via Twitter.

Prior to the final tally from the Board of Elections, we had received only three of the seven precincts plus the absentee and One-Stop results.

When they gave us the final numbers — before we had the other four precincts broken out — we simply posted the final results and went about securing the precinct-by-precinct num-bers that we had promised our readers that would be available on election night.

A little “drama” resulted when we got the four other precincts and our spreadsheets didn’t jibe with the totals being given out by the board of elec-tions. It was shortly after 9:15 when we questioned why the numbers of votes were so much higher for the candidates than

what the board of elections was reporting.

The only race that seemed to be affected by the vote total “discrepancy” — note the quota-tion marks — was the Ward 4 At-Large seat. The board of elections had incumbent George Daye beating his challenger Ranger Wilkerson by 47 votes. The spreadsheet we had created looked like Wilkerson may have pulled off an upset.

After a call to the board of elections to bring the issue to their attention, we were told they were re-running the num-bers. We momentarily backed off the report that Daye had won and noted to our readers that the race was too close to call. At that point, our spreadsheet showed the combined numbers which appeared to give Wilker-son more votes than Daye.

Another quick follow-up call to the Board of Elections resulted in this explanation:

The earlier numbers first posted for absentee and One-Stop ballots had been “rolled into” the seven precincts partici-pating in the election.

For example, each One-Stop vote placed at the Board of Elec-tions office in advance of Elec-tion Day — votes which were logged as One-Stop votes in the first reported results of the night — was eventually reallocated to whatever precinct the voter actually belonged.

That caused spreadsheets like ours to count some, but not all, of the early votes twice.

From the final precinct totals we got from another trip to the board office, we found that our first three reporting precincts did not include these “rolled over” votes but the final reports from all precincts did. Thus, anyone following this vote count with a spreadsheet was seeing duplicated vote totals — some

numbers being counted in the One-Stops and in their precinct at the same time.

Our initial online spreadsheet had columns for seven precincts plus absentee and One-Stop. You’ll notice that the final spreadsheet omitted the absen-tee and One-Stop columns.

We were satisfied that the Board of Elections indeed had the numbers right. No question that Daye had won, albeit in a very close race.

The official canvassing of the vote tallies — scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 11 a.m. — will put the final stamp on the totals we reported online Tuesday night and in Wednes-day’s print edition. And we’re assuming the board of elections has gotten it right.

For us, it was a lesson that you can’t ask enough questions about procedures in advance. From our 2007 reporting of the Municipal Elections, it didn’t appear that this “rolling” of number into precincts had been done, so we simply weren’t ex-pecting it this time. Next time, we’ll know.

It was a lesson, too, in how difficult it can be to report “breaking news.” There’s an overwhelming desire to be the first to report a story in this business. That should never out-weigh the desire to make sure we have the story right.

Thanks to all of you who tracked the results online through the evening and to those who followed with your Twitter news alerts on your cell phones.

Don’t change channels — an-other election and more online coverage is right around the corner in early November! We’ll be here.

Comics have caught up to ObamaComedy relies on surprise. “Saturday

Night Live” has felt painfully dull this sea-son without Sarah Palin to kick around or Tina Fey to do the kicking. Then it surprised the world this weekend. It kicked President Barack Obama. Even more surprising, it got away with it.

Only a few months ago major comedians like Jon Stewart and Will Ferrell were lamenting with slack-jawed remorse how resilient Obama has proved to ridicule. How the comics missed the target-rich environments offered up by his prede-cessors.

Even the gifted Fred Armisen, who could pull off an Obama imitation almost good enough to fool the Secret Service, found jokes at Obama’s expense fell flat. Audiences treated the man Oprah Winfrey famously pronounced “The One” as though he were a bank too big to fail, a balloon of hope too big to be punctured.

But that appears to have ended after Obama’s failed attempt to help Chicago win its bid to host to 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Like one of those Macy’s Thanksgiv-ing Day parade balloons that had snagged on a tree, Obama’s balloon of hope fizzled to earth.

It had to happen sooner or later. Armisen found Obama’s comedic vulnerability not on his right, where he is predictably pummeled by certain pundits, but on his left, where supporters tend to muzzle themselves in

defensive solidarity, even when they are unhappy.

In a mock presidential address to the na-tion, Armisen as Obama assures angry con-servatives that they have nothing to worry about. “Because when you look at my record,” he declares, “it is very clear what I have done so far — and that is nothing. Nada! Almost one year and nothing to show for it!”

Armisen’s Obama then checks off a laundry list of what he has not done: “Close (the prison at) Guantanamo Bay ... Out of Iraq ... Improve Afghanistan ... Health Care reform....” “No,” “no, “worse” and “Hell, no,” are the assessments of each.

And what about the left? “They’re the ones who should be mad,” he says, offer-ing another checklist: “Global warming ... immigration reform ... gays in the military ... limits on executive power ... torture prosecutions.” Here again, the answer was no to each.

As caricature, Armisen’s skit passed the first test of comedy: it was funny. But was it true? Was it fact-based? And did it make a point worth making? There’s a thin line between truth and a cheap shot, especially in politics where the line is always moving, depending on your audience.

Fact checkers give Armisen’s checklist a mixed grade. Guantanamo is “stalled,” for example, and Iraq and health care are works in progress, according to Politifact.com, a Pulitzer Prize-winning nonpartisan fact-checking Web site. Afghanistan has gotten measurably worse, but Politifact gave Obama credit for living up to his promise to send in two more brigades.

Politifact, operated by the St. Petersburg Times, monitors 500 promises Obama made

as a candidate. So far, by their count he has accomplished 47 and compromised on a dozen more.

After his first nine months, it is hard to call him a slacker. But Team Obama can’t afford to be too sanguine about facts. If there was a point the “SNL” skit makes it is how politics is based less on facts than percep-tions. “SNL” often has signaled changes in public perceptions and created a few of its own.

“SNL” has a 30-plus history of redefin-ing public perceptions of presidents and candidates, from Chevy Chase’s bumbling klutz of a Gerald Ford and Al Franken’s monotone-speaking Paul Simon (the late Il-linois Democratic senator, not the singer) to Will Ferrell’s “strategery”-planning George W. Bush and Amy Poehler’s frighteningly ambitious Hillary Clinton.

“SNL’s” message reveals, among other subtle insights, a repressed discontent on the left. They see a center-left president who often seems more concerned with the art of compromise on issues like health care, or inclined to put off issues like global warming and gays in the military, than with standing up for his core beliefs.

Obama came into office tackling two wars, a world economic crisis and an over-haul of the nation’s health care system, just for starters. He has a lot that he’s trying to do. Even so, SNL reminds the president, as he pursues what he’s trying to do, that sometimes he needs to remind us of what he’s done.

DEAR ABBY: My sister “Tricia’s” daughters, ages 5 and 7, are my only nieces. A few weeks ago, I sent the 7-year-old a gift for her birthday. When I didn’t get a response, I called my sister to ask if it had arrived. Tricia said, “Oh, yeah, we got it. We’ve been busy and so we didn’t open it. We’ll get to it someday.” I felt terrible knowing my niece didn’t get the gift on her birthday and didn’t know I had remem-bered her.

I have since learned that my nieces weren’t given the gifts I sent last Christ-mas, either, which ex-plains why I didn’t receive thank-you notes. Tri-cia told me her girls get lots of presents so she limits when they can have them. She gives them as rewards or saves them for rainy days.

The younger daughter’s birthday is coming up, and now I’m wondering what to do. I don’t want to spend the time or money picking out something she may never see. Should I just send a card? Or call to wish her a happy birthday?

My sister is generous with my kids. They open the gifts right away and send thank-you notes. How do I re-ciprocate? — HURT IN SAN FRANCISCO

DEAR HURT: By inter-cepting your gifts and pre-senting them as “rewards” or “saving them for a rainy day,” your sister is defeating their purpose and may be taking the credit that should be going to you. Your nieces should absolutely know that you think of them on their birthdays and other holidays.

By all means call them and send cards. And start contributing to a college fund for them. Although they may not appreciate right now what a thoughtful gift you are giving them, I guarantee they will in the future.

DEAR ABBY: I have a

good relationship with my

84-year-old mother, but it’s difficult to spend time with her because during the past year she has started hitting me. She does not appear to be angry when she does it. She’ll do it if I say something she thinks is funny, when I do something nice or for no reason at all.

It hurts me physically and emotionally when she hits me. I have asked her repeatedly to please not do it, but she persists. I wasn’t abused as a child, so I don’t understand what’s going on. Any ideas? — BRUISED IN SPRINGFIELD

DEAR BRUISED: I have a suspicion. I have written before that any significant change in a senior’s behav-ior or personality should be reported to his or her doctor. Your mother may need to be physically and neurologi-cally evaluated because it’s possible that she doesn’t remember that you have asked her not to hit you. My advice is to have your mother checked out, and if I’m right, you have my sympathy.

DEAR ABBY: My

daughter is divorced from my grandson “Cody’s” father, “Mitch.” Cody is only 8, and when Mitch makes plans with him and then doesn’t show up or even bother to call, of course Cody is sad.

I can’t stand to see my grandson hurt over and over again. How can I help him get through these difficult times? — PROTECTIVE NANA IN RHODE ISLAND

DEAR PROTECTIVE NANA: It isn’t possible to shield your grandson entirely from his father’s neglect. However, you might lessen his disappointment by mak-ing alternative plans to do something with him if his father is a no-show. And if Cody has uncles, a grandfa-ther or other male influences in his life, perhaps they could step up to the plate on some of those occasions when his father strikes out.

Today is Thursday, Oct. 8, the 281st day of 2009. There are 84 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight:On Oct. 8, 1871, the Great

Chicago Fire erupted; fires also broke out in Peshtigo, Wis., and in several communi-ties in Michigan.

On this date:In 1918, Sgt. Alvin C.

York almost single-handedly killed 25 German soldiers and helped capture 132 in the Argonne Forest in France.

In 1945, President Harry S. Truman announced that the secret of the atomic bomb would be shared only with Britain and Canada.

In 1956, Don Larsen pitched the only perfect game in a World Series to date as the New York Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in Game 5, 2-0.

In 1957, the Brooklyn Baseball Club announced it was accepting an offer to move the Dodgers from New York to Los Angeles.

In 1982, all labor organiza-tions in Poland, including Solidarity, were banned.

Ten years ago: A damage award to State

Farm auto insurance custom-ers swelled to nearly $1.2 billion after a judge in Illinois ruled that the nation’s largest auto insurer had committed fraud by using generic auto-body repair parts. (However, the Illinois Supreme Court overturned the judgment in 2005.)

Five years ago: A videotape surfaced

showing kidnappers behead-ing British hostage Kenneth Bigley in Iraq. Martha Stew-

art reported to the Alderson Federal Prison Camp in West Virginia to begin serving her sentence for lying about a stock sale.

One year ago: German farmer Karl Merk,

who received the world’s first complete double arm transplant, told reporters that incredulity gave way to joy when he woke from surgery to discover he had arms again.

Northern Vance and J.F. Webb came into Wednesday’s Carolina 3A battle searching for a conference win — something that has eluded both sides this season.

Webb used two first-half goals in its 3-0 win to beat Northern to the all-important victory.

Andrew Pruitt found the net twice for the Warriors (7-7, 1-2), who snapped a seven-game los-ing skid.

“It’s really important, espe-cially coming off some tough losses,” said Webb coach Allie Urbanski. “We needed this to feed off the momentum for the next game.”

The Warriors took the lead in the 15th minute of the first half when striker Stephen Hill chased down a pass that

appeared to be headed for the end line and put it past Vikings keeper Aaron Daeke from a dif-ficult side angle.

“That’s his strength. He never

quits,” Urbanski said of Hill. “He always runs right through the keeper and anticipates them

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Braylon Edwards’ arrival was picture-perfect for the New York Jets.

The talented but troubled wide receiver was acquired from Cleveland on Wednesday and showed up at the team’s facility shortly after practice ended — just in time to try on his new green and white threads and be included in the team picture.

“It was interesting getting off a plane and rushing right to a team photo,” Edwards said, smiling. “The guys in the locker room were good.”

Edwards said he felt welcomed right away be-cause he was a target of some good-natured jokes as soon as he walked into the locker room.

“A couple of guys cracked on the pants I had on,” said Edwards, who already knows several of the Jets players. “I took that as a good sign.”

The Jets dealt wide receiver Chansi Stuckey, linebacker Jason Trusnik and two undis-closed draft choices in return for Edwards, who has 10 receptions for 139 yards but was shut out for the first time in his career in the winless Browns’ 23-20 overtime loss to Cincinnati on Sunday.

“I believe coming here to a team that’s doing well with a new head coach that has them going in the right direction ... is a fresh start and a clean slate,” Edwards said.

Edwards was on his way to the Browns’ facility at 7:45 a.m. when he received a call from coach Eric Mangini, who told him to come to his office, where he was told of the deal.

“I hadn’t any clue I was going to be traded,” Edwards said.

Edwards, in his fifth season, is expected to practice Thurs-day and coach Rex Ryan said he will start Monday night at Miami for the Jets.

“I think he’s going to fit right in with our group,” Ryan said.

New York was lacking a le-gitimate deep threat for Mark Sanchez to throw to opposite Jerricho Cotchery, and the Jets believe Edwards will also help jumpstart the running game.

“I’ve had to defend against him twice a year in Baltimore, and that’s not fun,” Ryan said. “He is a matchup nightmare.”

Raiders wins rematch with Riverside in fiveBy ErIC S. rOBINSONDiSpatch SportS eDitor

The first matchup between Durham Riverside and Southern Vance was much like the film Rocky — an exciting, intense match with an ending that didn’t favor the hometown team.

Wednesday’s rematch resem-bled the film’s sequel. After los-ing the first match by a fifth-set score of 16-14, the Raiders took the Pirates the distance again, this time coming out on top (25-14, 17-25, 25-22, 20-25, 15-11).

“Much of what you saw is much of what happened at their place,” said Southern Vance coach Tracey Turner. “And I said, well this time, you know like movies have an alternate ending? Let’s choose the alter-nate ending this time.”

Shauna Terry and Treman-

isha Taylor again had great nights for the Raiders, and they both set the tone early with strong net play in the opening stanza. With the score tied at 8 in the opening frame, Southern Vance took over.

After a Terry block gave Southern a 9-8 lead, they closed it out with a 16-6 run.

But all the momentum swung the other way in the second set, after Riverside jumped out to a 7-2 lead.

Down 10-4, Turner called a time out, but it was to no avail as the Pirates continued to pile on, increasing their lead to 19-7.

PHILADELPHIA — One strike away from a shutout, Cliff Lee stepped off the mound, took a deep breath and allowed himself to enjoy the moment.

Quite a debut for a post-season rookie.

Lee dominated the Colo-rado Rockies, tossing a six-hitter, and the Philadelphia Phillies began their World Series title defense with a 5-1 victory in their playoff opener Wednesday.

Raul Ibanez had two hits and two RBIs, and Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth drove in runs with key extra-base hits off 15-game

winner Ubaldo Jimenez.Lee, the reigning AL

Cy Young Award winner, struck out five and had no walks in his first career playoff start. He retired 16 straight batters at one point until Garrett Atkins hit a

wind-blown double in the seventh. Lee lost his shutout when Troy Tulowitzki doubled in a run with two outs in the ninth.

“I had him 0-2 and I stepped off and wanted to give myself a chance to ab-sorb it all,” Lee said. “Then I threw three straight balls and allowed a double in the gap. Maybe it cost me a run. Whatever, we had a five-run lead.”

Game 2 of the best-of-five NL division series is set for Thursday with Cole Hamels, last year’s World Series and NLCS MVP, on the mound for the Phillies against Colo-rado’s Aaron Cook.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Michael Crabtree is confident he can play a big role for the San Francisco 49ers as a rookie even though he’s months behind.

He will get his chances in an offense that could really use him.

Crabtree signed a six-year contract early Wednesday after a drawn-out negotiation process that had some wonder-ing whether the star wide receiver would ever show up this season.

“It’s a lot of relief off my shoulders,” Crabtree said when formally introduced at team head-quarters.

While spe-cific terms of the deal, which was completed around 2 a.m. Wednesday, were not disclosed, Crabtree will receive nearly $17 million in guaranteed money, accord-ing to a person familiar with the contract. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the details weren’t made public.

Crabtree headed out Wednesday for his first prac-tice as the 49ers prepare for Sunday’s home game against Atlanta.

“Everybody came to a reach-able agreement and it hap-pened,” Crabtree said, sport-ing a red No. 15 practice jersey and charcoal gray sweats. “I’m just glad I’m past that part. I’m very humble right now, man, it’s a very humbling ex-perience. Just getting a chance to sit back and better myself as a person, as a player, as a teammate. ... I feel like going through that it made me look at the world in a different way, look at my teammates a differ-ent way. Hopefully it will work out for the best.”

The agreement was first reported by ESPN.com. Coach Mike Singletary called it a “fair deal for both parties involved.”

The former Texas Tech star was the only draft pick who hadn’t signed — and even rap-per MC Hammer got involved to finally make it happen.

Crabtree could provide the game-breaking receiving threat the 49ers have been lacking, assuming he can quickly learn the offense after

making a mistake.”Webb added its second

goal just four minutes later when a Jose Pelcas-tre corner kick found the head of Pruitt to double the lead.

Pruitt’s goal decimated a Vikings team that his been struggling to find the net.

“As a coach you think 2-0 is very beatable because all you have to do is score one and you get some confidence and momentum,” said North-ern coach David Hicks. “I think with our scoring drought, the 2-0 deficit was big for us mentally.”

The Vikings had every opportunity to break that drought in the first half, but couldn’t capitalize.

Northern nearly scored first in the 12th minute of the first half, but Webb keeper Geoffrey Cash came up with a diving save of Kevin Byrom’s shot aimed at the far post.

The Vikings dominated possession after Webb’s

second goal, but still couldn’t find a way on the scoreboard, despite out-shooting the Warriors on the night, 18-15.

With seven minutes to play in the first, Tate Fra-zier’s corner found Byrom — but Byrom’s header found the woodwork. Byrom’s unfortunate luck continued when his stop-page time free kick nailed the crossbar from just

outside of the box. “It was one of those

nights if you kicked it from one foot away, it would hit a pothole six inches away and jump the other direction,” Hicks said. “We had some lovely chances. Right now it’s just not going in.”

Hicks moved Joseph Falkner from the back to midfield after halftime in effort to push the ball

forward. “We moved a couple

of people around,” said Hicks. “I thought Joseph looked like he had a whole lot of energy. We thought, ‘let’s let him run a little bit in the middle.’”

But Webb still man-aged to keep the Vikings scoreless and added an insurance goal at the mid-way point of the second half. Pruitt tallied his second goal on a crack-ing shot from center that was too tall for the out-stretched mitts of Daeke.

“Andrew has improved tremendously,” said Ur-banski.

“The last three games he has just stepped up and become a horse on the field. And he proved it again tonight with the two goals.”

Webb will look for its second conference win of the season on the road against Southern Vance tomorrow at 6 p.m., while Northern (5-8-4, 0-4) will wait to visit the Raiders on Monday at 6:30 p.m.

Riverside called a time out to regroup with the score 24-17. The Pirates scored the next point to put the set away.

Southern led 8-4 early in set 3. Durham rallied to within one at 11-10, but Southern held the lead until late in the set.

After a long volley, the Pirates tied it at 20 and took the lead with an ace on the next volley. But they turned it back over to Southern when the next serve went into the net.

Taylor put the set away with a kill that made it 25-22.

Southern got strong play from the back row all night, particularly in the fourth set. Morgan Adcock made a dig on a hard spike that set up Terry perfectly for a kill, which brought Southern to within two, down 14-12. Riverside went on to claim the set 25-20.

“I think sometimes they don’t think — they move,” said Turner. “There were moments out there when you can tell when the feet were thinking, and when they were thinking. I like it when their feet think.”

“Morgan, I think she hit a zone there. Between her, Ashley (Meador) and Amber (Edwards) — they weren’t letting anything hit the floor. They were squar-ing up with the hitter... and reading what was happen-ing.”

Adcock led the team with 24 digs to go along with a kill and an ace. Edwards had 19 digs, and Meador had six digs, five assists and a kill.

Sumner led the team in

assists with 36. She also had 21 digs and two aces.

Meredith Moore had five digs, while Brittany Bishop had two.

Southern wasted no time taking the advantage in the fifth set. Two Terry kills contributed to the 4-1 lead. The Pirates fought to within one at 7-6, but never could tie it up as the Raid-ers won 15-11.

“I was glad to see they were able to focus and put (the fifth set) away and it not be a nail-biter,” said Turner.

Taylor notched 25 kills, 15 digs and a block. Terry had nine blocks, 19 kills and 14 digs.

The Raiders have one game left to conclude their tough two-week run. Last week, they finished 3-0 with wins over Northern Vance, J.F. Webb and Wake Forest Rolesville.

Cardinal-Gibbons ended their streak when they won in four sets on Tuesday. Southern hosts another Carolina 3A Conference opponent, Orange, today at 6 p.m.

“I would say Orange is a lot like a Riverside. We’ve just got to be more consis-tent,” said Turner.

The first time Southern faced Orange this season on the road, they were swept. But in that game, the Raid-

ers were shorthanded due to illnesses. This time, they should be at full strength.

“It’s going to be won-derful to be able to take Orange on head-to-head, and I think they’re looking forward to the rematch,” said Turner.

NCAA seeks rehearing in FSU records case

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The NCAA has asked an appeal court to reconsider a ruling for public release of documents on an academic cheating scandal at Florida State.

The college athletics organization also Wednesday asked the 1st District Court of Appeal to certify the case to the Florida Supreme Court as a question of great public importance if it denies a rehearing.

In addition, the NCAA wants release of the docu-ments to The Associated Press and other news media stayed pending further litigation.

They concern a proposal to take wins away from coaches and athletes. That includes football coach Bobby Bowden who could lose 14 victories — dimin-ishing his chances of overtaking Penn State’s Joe Paterno as major college football’s winningest coach.

Young wants to play, not at Titans’ expense

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee fans have been clamoring for Vince Young to be given a chance to play with the Titans now 0-4.

He wants to play but not at the expense of his teammates.

Young said Wednesday he isn’t worried about what fans might say and has no interest in such questions because that would mean his teammates would be losing.

He says he respects his teammates and the team needs to put the pieces together.

Coach Jeff Fisher insisted Monday he is sticking with Kerry Collins over the 2006 Offensive Rookie of the Year. Young lost his starting job after being injured in the 2008 opener.

Young said he always wants to play. But he said his job is to be the scout team quarterback, prep the defense and pay attention mentally.

No decision on Tebow’s return for Gators

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Tim Tebow’s status against No. 4 LSU appears that it will be a game-day decision.

Florida coach Urban Meyer said Wednesday that his medical staff told him to prepare as if the injured Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback will play Saturday night in Baton Rouge. Team doctors also warned Meyer that Tebow might not be cleared in time for the game.

“It was very simply, ’Plan to play with him and plan to play without him,”’ Meyer said following practice. “That’s day to day.”

Tebow practiced Tuesday for the first time since suffering the first concussion of his career Sept. 26 against Kentucky. He was hospitalized overnight, and there has been much speculation about whether he should return against the Tigers.

Meyer has left the decision up to the team’s medi-cal staff, but there’s little doubt he would rather have Tebow running the top-ranked Gators in Death Val-ley instead of sophomore John Brantley making his first career start on the road and in front of a hostile night crowd.

Tebow was given partial clearance to practice Tuesday, with team doctors telling him to avoid contact for now. Although one concussion expert told Meyer he should let Tebow take a few light shots to the chest, the coach said it hasn’t happened.

The former Michigan star and Pro Bowl selec-tion comes to the Jets with his share of off-field issues. The NFL is investigating whether Edwards violated the league’s conduct policy following accusations he assaulted a man outside a nightclub early Monday.

Edwards allegedly punched promoter Edward Givens, a friend of NBA star LeBron James, fol-lowing an argument in downtown Cleveland. Police are also looking into the incident.

Edwards declined to dis-cuss the situation, saying it’s a legal matter.

Although Edwards hasn’t been charged with a crime, the league’s conduct policy states that

discipline may be imposed for “the use or threat of violence.”

“We’re comfortable with adding Braylon,” general manager Mike Tannenbaum said. “We’ll cooperate with all the authorities, and we’re glad he’s here. We did our due diligence.”

The Jets, off to a 3-1 start under Ryan, were

looking to replace Laver-anues Coles in the starting lineup since allowing him to become a free agent in the offseason. They looked into former Giants star Plaxico Burress’ legal status before the draft, and were mentioned in possible trade talks for Denver’s Brandon Mar-shall.

Edwards’ best season

came in 2007, when he had 80 catches for 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns.

“I know he’s going to add something great to this offense,” Cotchery said of Edwards.

“We’ve got to smile about that because he’s a great player and he’s going to demand a lot of atten-tion.”

Edwards also has taken some criticism over the years for his propensity for dropping passes and lapses in concentration.

“Is he going to catch ev-ery pass that’s thrown to him? No,” Ryan said. “But, he’s going to catch enough of them and he’s going to make a lot of difference.”

Edwards has a year remaining on his contract,

but the Jets had no im-mediate plans to sign him to a new deal during this season.

“I don’t want to be a distraction,” he said. “All I want to do is play football. They have a machine mov-ing in the right direction, so to sit here and talk about a contract would be pretty petty.”

Edwards has been involved in other off-field incidents, but Ryan said he consulted with people he really trusts; his twin brother, Rob, is the Browns’ defensive coordi-nator.

“We’re confident with the player on the field and off the field,” he said.

It’s the second major trade the Jets have made

with the Browns and Mangini. On the first day of the draft in April, the Jets acquired the fifth overall pick from Cleve-land — using it to select Sanchez — in exchange for New York’s second-round-er (No. 52), defensive end Kenyon Coleman, safety Abram Elam and quarter-back Brett Ratliff.

Stuckey, who won the No. 2 receiver spot out of training camp, has 11 catches for 120 yards and a touchdown. Trusnik, signed as an undrafted free agent out of Ohio Northern in 2007, is a special teams ace.

missing all of training camp. The 10th pick overall, he also sat out offseason minicamps and organized team activities while recovering from a foot injury, but was a regular presence at the team’s training facility.

Before Wednesday, Singletary had spoken to Crabtree just once since breaking offseason workouts in June.

Crabtree and his agent, Eugene Parker, met with three top 49ers officials Tuesday to work through his contract impasse.

Crabtree balked at a long-standing offer of approximately five years and $20 million, with a reported $16 million guaranteed. Instead, he sought money compara-ble to what higher draft picks received.

“We came out of the gate and put a solid of-fer on the table,” 49ers general manager Scot McCloughan said, still unsure what Crabtree’s side didn’t like about it. “I’m curious to find out because it goes against the norm. Very seldom do you see this.”

Oakland Raid-ers receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, the No. 7 choice, signed a five-year contract that will guar-antee him at least $23.5 million.

Jaguars top pick Eugene Monroe, taken eighth overall, signed a five-year, $25 million contract that includes $19 million guaranteed.

Crabtree shook hands throughout the locker room to greet his team-mates.

“We accept Crabtree no matter what,” tight end Vernon Davis said. “I think his play will speak for itself.”

Singletary acknowl-edged last month the 49ers discussed changing their offer to Crabtree,

and team president Jed York said in mid-Sep-tember the team hoped for a face-to-face meeting with Crabtree. The 49ers received a call Sun-day that Crabtree and Parker were en route to the area. That meet-ing finally happened Tuesday.

Crabtree and Parker were joined by York, vice president of football op-erations Paraag Marathe and McCloughan.

Hammer, a friend of Parker and client Deion Sanders, also partici-pated.

Singletary found out the deal was done when he woke up Wednesday morning.

“This is a great day for the 49ers,” he said. “It showed the commit-ment in place in having Crabtree here. Obviously Michael missed a lot of time, a lot of valuable time, and has a lot of work to catch up.”

Crabtree’s contract can be voided after five years with two solid seasons. It’s unclear when Crabtree will be ready after missing so much time, but San Francisco has a bye next week. It’s conceivable he could make his debut in a limited role Oct. 25 at Houston.

“It’s going to be a process,” said Singletary, whose team leads the NFC West and at 3-1 is off to its best start since 2002. “Hopefully after the bye, Mike will be ready to go. Certainly it’s going to start small, a small role here and there, figuring out ways to get him on the field.”

The 49ers needed to sign Crabtree by Nov. 17 for him to remain eli-gible to play this season. There would have been a seven-week window before the 2010 draft to trade Crabtree if he did not sign.

San Francisco wide receiver michael Crabtree smiles dur-ing an news conference at 49ers headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif., Wednesday.

Some questioned manager Charlie Manuel’s decision to give Lee the ball over the playoff-tested Hamels for the first game. But Lee made his manager look brilliant with a master-ful performance.

On a day when swirling winds made flyballs difficult to track, Lee ignored the elements and shut down the NL’s second-highest scoring offense. Avoiding the adventures that come with the Phillies bullpen, Lee mixed a deceptive fast-ball with off-speed pitches, had pinpoint accuracy and threw 113 pitches.

“He was aggressive, he had good tempo and rhythm and he handled the whole flow of the game real good,” Manuel said.

The hard-throwing Jime-nez was equally impressive against the league’s No. 1-scoring offense for four innings, but ran out of gas in the fifth. He got chased with no outs in the sixth after allowing nine hits and five runs in five-plus innings.

“Up until the fifth, it was one of the better games he had pitched over the course of the month,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. “He was really, really on his

game into the fifth. He had all his stuff.”

A sellout crowd of 46,452 — the largest in the six-year history of Citizens Bank Park — rocked the ballpark, waving their white-and-red “Fightin’ Phils” towels. The Phil-lies were 7-0 at home last October and set a franchise attendance record this season.

Werth, one of five All-Stars in Philadelphia’s lineup, got it started with a walk in the fifth. He scored when Ibanez ripped a double into the right-field corner. Ibanez’s hit fired up the fans, who screamed “Rauuuuuuuul!” Carlos Ruiz followed with a single to right to make it 2-0.

The Phillies got insur-ance runs in the sixth. Chase Utley led off with a single and stole second. Howard lined a run-scoring double to left that mixed up Carlos Gonzalez, who fell backward into the wall.

Werth followed with a drive that hit high off the left-center field wall. Werth may have had a chance for an inside-the-park homer, but he trotted slowly to first before turning it on and settling for a triple after the wind kept the ball in the

park.“Had we not been dealing

with the wind conditions, that ball would have been hit out of the ballpark,” Tracy said.

Werth, who didn’t even see Tulowitzki’s ninth-in-ning double until it passed him, said the sun and wind made it “the toughest day I’ve ever seen in Philly.”

Joe Beimel came in to face Ibanez after Werth’s hit, and allowed an RBI single that made it 5-0.

That was plenty of sup-port for Lee, who made sure everyone has to wait another day to see if Brad Lidge gets the chance to be Philadelphia’s closer. Ryan Madson and J.A. Happ were warming up in the ninth in a non-save situation.

Just two years ago, Lee watched from the bench as the Cleveland Indians reached the ALCS. He was left off the postseason roster after a poor season in which he was demoted to the minors and relegated to the bullpen.

But he went 22-3 last year and was shipped to Philadelphia on July 29 when the cost-cutting Indi-ans purged their roster.

“I tried to treat it as

much as a regular game as I could,” Lee said. “Obvious-ly, there’s more excitement with a playoff game but it’s still 60 feet, 6 inches to the plate and it’s the same strike zone.”

Jimenez showed off his blazing fastball early. He reached 100 mph against the second batter, Shane Victorino. The 25-year-old right-hander didn’t wait long to mix speeds, either. He froze Howard with an 80 mph curveball for a called third strike in the second. He got Utley on the same pitch in the fourth.

The Phillies have been on cruise control for a while, waiting to start the postsea-son and have a chance to be the first repeat cham-pions since the New York Yankees won three World Series in a row from 1998-2000. Though they didn’t clinch their third straight NL East title until the final week, it was never in doubt. Philadelphia moved into first place for good on May 30, and had a comfortable lead the rest of the way.

Colorado rebounded from an awful start and finished a franchise-best 92-70, including 74-42 after Jim Tracy replaced Clint Hurdle as manager on May 29.

NEW YORK — Derek Jeter got a big hit, just as he did in Octobers past at the famed ballpark across the street. CC Sabathia joined in the postseason fun. Even Alex Rodriguez broke out of his playoff rut.

It was like old times in the first postseason game at the new Yankee Stadium, with New York beating these tired Minne-sota Twins 7-2 Wednesday night in the opener of their AL playoff series.

“It felt just like the old place,” Jeter said. “We couldn’t have drawn it up any better for us.”

After Jeter’s third-in-ning homer off loser Brian Duensing drew New York even at 2, Nick Swisher pulled a go-ahead double down the left-field line in the fourth that scored Rob-inson Cano from first as left fielder Delmon Young and shortstop Orlando Cabrera made a pair of poor throws.

Rodriguez had gone 0 for 29 in the postseason with runners on base dat-ing to Game 4 of the 2004 AL championship series before chasing Duensing with an RBI single that made it 4-2 in the fifth.

From there the Yan-kees breezed to their first postseason win in exactly two years.

On a night with sus-tained winds blowing to right-center at 20 mph, with gusts up to 43 mph, Hideki Matsui followed with a two-run homer into Monument Park on left-

hander Francisco Lirano’s fourth pitch. The Yankees celebrated like kids, just as the Twins did when they beat Detroit in an AL Central tiebreaker at the Metrodome on Tuesday night.

“Crazy. Nuts,” Swisher said. “Everyone knows I’m a little hyper. Probably the hardest thing was keeping myself under control.”

Rodriguez added an-other run-scoring single in the seventh against Jon Rauch following an error by first baseman Michael Cuddyer, with A-Rod’s drive hitting halfway up the right-field wall. New York scored five runs with two outs.

“It definitely felt good,” Rodriguez said. “There’s no questions the numbers aren’t good, but you’ve got to come out and play.”

Wearing long sleeves on the blustery night, Sa-bathia got past a 22-pitch first inning and found a sharp cutter in his Yan-

kees postseason debut.“This is what you come

here for,” Sabathia said. “It was electric tonight.”

Despite retiring the side in order just twice, Sa-bathia allowed one earned run and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings, striking out eight and walking none.

“He got nasty. He was deceiving,” Minnesota’s Denard Span said.

Sabathia, who twice got crossed up with catcher Jorge Posada, left with two on after 113 pitches. He tipped his cap to a ballpark record crowd of 49,464 that included actress Kate Hudson and rapper Jay-Z.

Jeter’s home run had inspired the big lefty.

“The place got loud,” Sa-bathia said. “Him starting out the game with a single and then tying the score up right back, it just made me want to go out there and get three quick outs.”

Minnesota didn’t arrive at its hotel until nearly 4

a.m. and appeared to lack the energy that propelled the Twins during a 17-4 finish. The Twins struck out 12 times.

“Guys are tired,” AL batting champ Joe Mauer said before adding, “this isn’t the time of year for that, to be worrying about that.”

After a day off, the se-ries resumes Friday night, when A.J. Burnett pitches for the Yankees against Nick Blackburn. New York will be trying to get off to its first 2-0 postseason start since 1999 against Texas.

“We all need to go home, get a good night’s rest,” said Twins pitcher Carl Pavano, who will start Game 3. “We’re going to be a little fresher, I’m sure, on Friday.”

Minnesota took a 2-0 lead in the third when Cabrera singled with two outs, Mauer doubled, Cud-dyer hit an RBI single and Posada crossed up with Sabathia and allowed a run-scoring passed ball.

Casey Stengel hit the first postseason home run across the street at original Yankee Stadium, an inside-the-parker that gave the New York Giants a 5-4 win in the 1923 World Series opener.

Jeter tied the score with a drive about 10 feet fair down the left-field line. With his 18th postseason home run, he tied Yankees stars Mickey Mantle and Reggie Jackson for third on the career list behind Manny Ramirez (28) and Bernie Williams (22), another former New York star

CHARLOTTE — DeAngelo Williams was a catalyst for the NFL’s de-cision to allow players to wear pink cleats to raise awareness for breast cancer. Then he and the Panthers were off with a bye when the initiative began last weekend.

Williams will be a week late donning pink Sunday against Washington, while the Carolina Pan-thers hope the Redskins game marks the day they finally get their running game in gear and record a win.

That would be coming a full month late.

“We’ve kind of been behind a little bit in the games so we’ve had to abandon the run game faster than we would have liked,” Williams said Wednesday. “We’ll see. Each game takes on a dif-ferent beast all in its own. We’ll see if we can control the clock.”

A year after rushing for a franchise-record 1,515 yards and 18 touchdowns, and combining with Jona-than Stewart for the most yards rushing by NFL teammates since 1984, Williams’ numbers have declined in Carolina’s 0-3 start.

Williams has been held to 41 carries for 180 yards and two touchdowns. Williams is getting 13.7 carries a game after aver-aging 17 a year ago.

The Panthers, who last year attempted a league-low 25.9 passes a game, have been throwing it an average of 36 times this year — without success.

“That’s what we do, we run the ball,” right tackle Jeff Otah said. “We’ve got to start out running the ball strong at the begin-ning of the game and keep on doing it.”

Coach John Fox has attributed the decline in the rushing attempts to falling behind. That was the case in Carolina’s 38-10 loss to Philadelphia in Week 1. The Panthers were in games until late the next two weeks, yet had 41 passes to 25 runs against Atlanta and 33 passes to 16 runs against Dallas.

“I can’t call the plays, man,” Williams said. “Whether we’re running the ball or whether we’re passing the ball we have to make our plays. That’s something we’ve been inconsistent in, making our plays, as opposed to a

year ago.”The running game last

season took off after the bye week, and Williams would like a similar breakout Sunday while he honors his mom’s suc-cessful battle with cancer.

Williams, who said he lost three aunts to the disease, didn’t know his mother was diagnosed until after she was treated.

“She got it removed and she’s been in remis-sion,” Williams said. “She’s a five-year survi-vor.”

Williams has since done charity work for breast cancer aware-ness, and in July went to Panthers director of com-munity relations Riley Fields about lobbying the league to let players wear pink cleats. The NFL had already planned to have pink-wrapped goalposts, wristbands and gloves, but hadn’t approved pink shoes.

The NFL decided to al-low five or six players per team to wear pink cleats over two games. Williams and receiver Muhsin Mu-hammad, whose mother and mother-in-law are breast cancer survivors, are among the Panthers who will wear pink Sun-day.

“She was flipping through the channels this weekend and she was calling me every time she saw somebody in pink,” Williams said of his mother. “It meant a lot to her, so I know it meant a lot to a lot of the cancer survivors and families out there.”

Wearing pink and fac-ing the Redskins’ suspect run defense would seem to be the perfect platform for Williams and Carolina to get out of their run-ning funk. The Redskins rank 22nd in the league against the run, and the Panthers would like to take pressure off quar-terback Jake Delhomme, who has seven inter-ceptions and two lost fumbles.

“We can’t throw a 30-yard or 40-yard bomb and on the next play we have a fumble or a pick or we jump offsides or do some-thing to push us back 10 or 15 yards,” Williams said. “We’ve just got to be consistent at what we do.

“It’s not whether we run the ball more or less or that we pass the ball more or less. It’s just that we’re not making our plays on a consistent basis.”

With Williams wearing pink, Panthers ready to run

Dodgers lead in Game 1

By CLIFF BRUNTap spOrTs WriTer

INDIANAPOLIS — The high-scoring Phoenix Mercury saved their season with defense.

The Indiana Fever led the WNBA finals series 2-1 and had a chance to clinch their first title in front of an active sellout crowd that included local celebrities such as Indianapolis Colts players Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne. None of that mattered as the Mer-cury beat the Fever 90-77 on Wednesday night to tie the series and force Game 5 Friday in Phoenix.

Indiana shot 2-for 13 in the fourth quarter, stifling any chance it had of over-coming the 72-65 deficit it faced going into the period. The Fever scored 12 points in the quarter, the third-lowest total in a fourth quarter in finals history.

While Phoenix defended well, Indiana’s stagnant offense helped.

“In the fourth quarter, nobody wanted to take the shot for them, so they were

just passing it around,” Phoenix center Tangela Smith said. “That’s what we wanted.”

Tamika Catchings, who led Indiana with 24 points and 12 rebounds, agreed that her teammates became hesitant. She said this is the wrong time for that.

“Hopefully, that’s out of our system and we’ll get to Phoenix Friday and we’ll be ready to play,” she said.

Catchings shot 11-for-17 and Ebony Hoffman scored 17 points on 7-for-10 shoot-ing. The rest of the team shot 11-for-44.

All-Star Katie Douglas, who was hoping to cel-ebrate a clinching win in her hometown, scored seven points on 2-for-14 shooting.

“I thought Katie got some great looks, looks she had been knocking down from the 3-point line to the

rim,” Indiana coach Lin Dunn said. “Maybe toward the end, she passed up some shots because she had missed them.”

Indiana’s bench, which both coaches had said was the reason the Fever were leading the series, struggled on Wednesday. The Fever bench shot a combined 2-for-16 from the field.

Indiana rookie reserve Briann January, whose quickness had been a matchup nightmare for the Mercury, shot 1-for-9 and finished with eight points. Phoenix’s Diana Taurasi said stopping January was a key.

“In these games, we’ve struggled when everyone has gotten their points, especially Briann when she comes in and changes the game,” Taurasi said. “Sometimes you focus on certain things and you get them done.”

Phoenix’s offense was in tune as usual. Cappie Pondexter scored 22 points, Penny Taylor added 17 points and Taurasi and Smith each scored 16.

The Mercury shot 10-for-24 from 3-point range. Phoenix felt Indiana controlled the tempo and slowed it down the past two games, but the Mercury felt they regained control on Wednesday.

“Our strength all year has been in our confidence in our attack, and I felt we got that back,” Taylor said. “We were playing with con-fidence and attacking every single time down floor, and that’s hard to defend for 40 minutes.”

Phoenix shot 72 percent from the field in the first quarter to jump out to a 33-22 lead. The Fever held the Mercury to 16 points in the second quarter and cut their deficit to 49-47 at the half.

Indiana tied the score at 59 on a layup by Catchings with 4:30 left in the third quarter, but Phoenix went on a quick 6-0 run to force a timeout and put the fans, who had been standing in anticipation of a Fever lead, back in their seats. The Mercury extended their lead to 72-65 at the end of

the third quarter.Indiana trimmed its

deficit to 72-68 on a steal and layup by Catchings, but the Fever went cold and the Mercury pulled away with a 12-2 spurt. A 3-pointer by Taylor made it 84-70 with 2:33 to go.

Dunn was disappointed to lose at home, but focused on the fact that her team still could win the champi-onship.

“They had to win,” Dunn said of the Mercury. “They had to do it the hard way. Now, we’ve got to go out there and do it the hard way, too. The only situation we’ve got here is that we’re tied.”

Taurasi was glad to earn another chance, but she wouldn’t promise a victory on Friday.

“I’m going to guarantee that we’re going to come out and leave it all on the floor,” she said. “I’m going to guarantee that the min-ute the game ends, we’re going to be spent physically and emotionally — and hopefully we’re holding the trophy.”
