Elizabeth City police are investigating what appears to be
the accidental unearthing of
human remains during the creation of a new burial site.
City police said the human
remains were discovered by an
employee of a lawn contractor
at the back of the city-owned Old
Oak Cemetery on March 14. The
remains apparently had been
unearthed from somewhere else
on the cemetery property, according to a press release from
police.
Bones from at least three different bodies have been found,
according to city officials.
Capt. John Young said it’s
clear that the remains unearthed
were not recent burials.
“They’ve definitely unearthed
old gravesites,” Young said.
The remains have been mixed
together too much to be able to
attempt any kind of identification, Young said. On top of that,
there is no DNA available to try
to check for any kind of match,
he said.
Two corner pieces of caskets
also were found.
Police collected the remains
and have stored them until the
original gravesite can be located. Once that happens, the
remains will be reburied, police
said.
Police and city officials are
examining recent obituaries as

Medicaid vital not just to beneficiaries
Program generated $12M for hospital
Part 2 of a series
By Jon Hawley
Staff Writer
What if Medicaid —
the federal health care insurance program for the
low-income and disabled
— ended tomorrow?
The program, now almost 49 years old, has
become a cornerstone of
the U.S. and North Carolina economies. It pays
for vital, often life-saving care for people of all
ages.
At Albemarle Hospital
alone, Medicaid paid for
10,570 emergency room
visits in 2012, generating
$3 million in revenue. For
a sense of how important
that $3 million is to the
hospital, consider the 42
layoffs and other cost-cutting measures Albemarle
officials announced this
week to help save $4 million over the next six
months.

Judge overturns rezoning for salvage yard
Ruling: Rezoning
illegal spot zoning
By Cindy Beamon
Staff Writer
CURRITUCK — A Superior
Court judge has overturned Currituck commissioners’ decision
to rezone one acre in Shawboro
for a proposed salvage yard,
agreeing with a lawsuit’s claim
that the rezoning was “illegal
spot zoning.”
Judge Walter H. Godwin’s decision turns the property at the
end of Station Lane back from
heavy manufacturing to its original zoning for agricultural use.
The change essentially ends
plans to turn a former grain storage facility into a junk yard/salvage yard as proposed by Shaw-
boro resident Clay Cartwright.
Only properties zoned for heavy
manufacturing can be used for
that purpose under Currituck’s
unified development ordinance.
Cartwright had planned to use
the site to collect, transfer and
sell scrap metal, rock, mulch,
concrete and dirt. But a lawsuit
filed in early 2012 by three Shawboro residents after Currituck
commissioners voted 6-1 to re-
zone the property argued that a
salvage yard would not fit with
the surrounding farming and
residential community.
Plaintiffs E. Ray Etheridge
and Fred F. and Mary K. Etheridge also accused commissioners in the lawsuit of engaging in
illegal spot zoning.
Spot zoning is the rezoning of

Friday’s Most PoPular online stories:
Today is Saturday, March 23, the 82nd day of
2013. There are 283 days left in the year.
Today’s highlights in history:
■ In 1913, five days of heavy rain began falling in the
Ohio River Valley; Dayton, Ohio, saw catastrophic
flooding as the rising Great Miami River breached its
levees. Hundreds of deaths in the region were blamed
on the weather.
■ Ten years ago: During the Iraq War, a U.S. Army
maintenance convoy was ambushed in Nasiriyah; 11
soldiers were killed, including Pfc. Lori Ann Piestewa;
six were captured, including Pfc. Jessica Lynch, who
was rescued on April 1, 2003. Also in Nasiriyah, 18 U.S.
Marines from Charlie Company were killed in the vicinity of the Saddam Canal Bridge.
■ Five years ago: A roadside bomb killed four U.S. soldiers in Baghdad, pushing the overall American death
toll in the five-year war to at least 4,000. Vice President
Dick Cheney visited the West Bank, where Palestinian
leaders asked him to pressure Israel to halt settlement
construction and voiced other complaints. The Seattlebased fishing trawler Alaska Ranger sank in the Bering Sea, killing five crew members; 42 others survived.

Fort Bragg announces cost-cutting steps Dredging completion date now mid-April
Threatened loggerhead habitat protected
Fort Bragg is dealing with Army budget cuts by restricting lighting on sports
fields, postponing retiree appreciation
days and reducing custodial services for
some buildings.
Retiree appreciation days had been
scheduled for May 17 and 18 and are being postponed until the fall. Lighting
at all sports fields except Hedrick and
Towle stadiums have been turned off to
save on power.
Custodial services provided by the
base are also being trimmed. Child development centers and busy areas such
as chapels, Throckmorton Library, Bank
Hall and the basement and first floor of
the Soldier Support Center will continue
to receive limited custodial services.
Dredging in the Hatteras ferry channel
won’t be complete until mid-April and
not the earlier projected date of March
31.
Officials with the state Transportation Department said Friday that bad
weather and mechanical problems with
the dredge are responsible for the delay.
They say the project began in early December and is 75 percent complete.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
project will clear a 10- to 12-foot depth
along the route between the ferry facilities on Hatteras and Ocracoke.
The dredge completed work in the
Rollinson Channel last week and is now
working in the northwestern side of the
Hatteras Inlet.
The federal government is designating
about 175 miles of Carolinas coastline
as critical habitat for loggerhead sea
turtles.
The turtles are considered threatened
in the Carolinas, and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service is seeking public comment on the designation.
The designation means any federal actions in the area must be considered for
possible impact on the habitat.
It does not impose restrictions on nonfederal lands unless an activity needs a
federal permit.
The designation includes 96 miles of
shoreline in North Carolina that include
areas in Carteret County south to Brunswick County.

UNC: Feds to visit campus in sexual assaults probe
Inspectors wonder
if reports accurate
By EMERY P. DALESIO
Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL — Federal inspectors who want to
know if the University of
North Carolina has been
accurately reporting campus crimes as required by
federal law are to visit the
campus at Chapel Hill next
month, the school said Friday.
U.S. Education Department inspectors are re-
sponding after a former
assistant dean of students
accused the school of underreporting sexual assault cases for 2010 in the
university’s annual report
on campus crime to the
federal government.
The federal Clery Act
requires campuses participating in federal financial
aid programs to collect and
disclose crime statistics
and security information.
The former university
employee, Melinda Manning, resigned in December. She did not respond
to a message seeking com-
ment Friday.
UNC-Chapel Hill has
denied
underreporting
crimes and said it’s cooperating with the investigation. The university this
week provided the federal
agency with a spreadsheet
detailing all student complaints of sexual harassment or assault through
this month and what was
done in each case. A school
spokeswoman said UNC
would not provide a copy
of the spreadsheet.
“We expected this review, and will cooperate fully with the review
team,” Chancellor Holden
Thorp said in a statement.
“We are committed to complying with the Clery Act
and properly informing
students and the campus
community about criminal
activity and safety threats.
The review is an opportunity to make additional improvements if needed.”
Thorp is resigning in
June to become the chief
academic officer of Washington University in St.
Louis.
The university also responded by a deadline
Thursday to questions
posed as part of an investigation by the Education
Department’s Office for
Civil Rights.
Manning, three students
and one former student in
January alleged violations
of Title IX, education’s
gender-equity law, in the
handling of sexual assault
cases. Two of the women
who have spoken for the
group did not respond to
requests for comment Friday.
The federal agency could
punish a violating university by cutting off federal
funding, but that’s never
Veterinarians at Noah’s
Ark Companion Animal
Hospital in Franklin are
caring for the dog, which
they named Bryson. The
dog’s muzzle and face were
injured.
“He’s doing a heck of a
lot better. He still has some
bleeding in his nose,” said
Dr. Jessica Tracy, who was
caring for the dog. Bryson
probably has some fractures, but he wants to eat,
wants attention, and “he’s
wagging his tail whenever
any of us come around.”
Carswell’s wife, Love,
said the dog seemed to
have suffered a crushed
muzzle. “It took a heck
of a lot of force. The dog
was bleeding through its
nostrils, and it could not
open its mouth there was
such heavy swelling,” she
said.
Love Carswell, a retired
911 dispatcher, said she
received hundreds of calls
about animal abuse over
the years.
“We’re so passionate
about this. I have seen this
so many times, cases of
cruelty and abuse. We’ve
had to deal with this for
years and years and years.
We’ve just had enough,”
she said.
Swain County does not
have a county-run animal

said Chief Deputy Jason
Gardner.
Authorities don’t have a

Swain County leaders
have talked about getting
animal control and a shelter, but they have never
moved ahead with it, Gardner said.

complaint
against UNC-CH has been
released, but the agency’s
letter acknowledging the
investigation alleges that
the nation’s oldest public university failed to
respond appropriately to
sexual assault concerns
and that it didn’t provide
impartial investigations.
The complaint also alleges
the school didn’t have appropriate grievance procedures and didn’t provide
appropriate training for
residential life staff and
others.

Associated Press
BRYSON CITY— Authorities in a western North
Carolina county that has
no animal shelter are investigating a case where a
dog was found in a trash
bin alongside a dead dog.
The Asheville CitizenTimes reported that Thomas Carswell found the dog
Wednesday in a container
off U.S. 19 outside Bryson
City when he was dropping
off trash.
The dog had pushed
his head and paws out of
the bag, Carswell said.
“I’m sure it woke up and
was suffocating,” he said.
“They had to have known
the dog was still breathing when they put it in the
trash bag.”

Lessons of Iraq, perpetual war still unlearned
T
en years ago today the first “shock and
awe” troops hit the ground in Iraq. It’s
hard to believe that it has been a decade since we blundered into the Middle
East in the name of righteous indignation
and ran smack into chaos, death and ultimately, ourselves. To say that we haven’t
been the same since would, I think, be an
understatement.
The tale of our Iraqi adventure is one of
failure on multiple levels. Our leadership,
including the legislative and executive
branches, plus both political parties failed
us miserably. The media failed us. We
failed each other. And we all ... all failed
our brothers and sisters in uniform. That
was the greatest failure of all. They took
up arms and placed themselves at risk of
death and dismemberment because we
asked them to. They were pawns in a reckless, unprovoked, preemptive invasion of
a sovereign nation that was the result of
unchecked hubris. They — and we — were
told that Iraq was responsible for the loss
of thousands of American lives. That
was a lie. Not a mistake, mind you – but
a dangerous lie. We then sacrificed them
— thousands of them — on the altar of
duty, honor and country. They were brave.
We were gullible. The result was tragedy.
It is one of the most shameful periods in
American history, yet it continues still.

Fortunately, this group of men
realized that they were prone to

a method to correct and/or improve their work. Amendments
are a pretty good way to keep the

current times and issues.
Unfortunately, it took nearly
75 years to correct the slavery
issue (the 13th Amendment) and
129 years for women to gain the

But that would be too harsh. The autopsy is a good-faith effort to stare the

It’s just that there are inherent limits
to any such exercise. The party is not going to be saved by committee. The autopsy inevitably reflects the lowest common

comprehensive immigration reform and
hinting at surrender on gay marriage.
It is more interesting and useful when
suggesting process changes, especially

For his part, Rubio has begun to talk

Police arrest 2 teens in Ga. baby killing FAA to close 149 air traffic towers
3 dead, including suspect, in shooting
Police have arrested two teenagers suspected in the shooting death of a baby
in a stroller and the wounding of the
baby’s mother. Brunswick Police Chief
Tobe Green said Friday that 17-year-old
De’Marquis Elkins is charged with firstdegree murder as an adult. The 14-year-old
is also charged with murder, but he was
not identified because he is a juvenile.
The chief said police were still investigating the motive and searching for a
weapon. The mother, Sherry West, said
she was walking near her home Thursday
morning with her baby, Antonio, when
she was approached by two boys who demanded money.
The Federal Aviation Administration
says it will close 149 air traffic control
towers at small airports around the country because of federal budget cuts.
The agency announced the decision
Friday, a month after it released a preliminary list of facilities that could be
closed.
All of the affected airports will remain
open. Pilots will be left to coordinate takeoffs and landings among themselves over
a shared radio frequency with no help
from ground controllers. That’s something they are trained to do, but airport
directors have raised concerns about the
potential impact on safety.

a second victim dead, along with the
body of the suspected shooter, who died
of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A base
spokesman initially described the situation as a standoff. Maxwell said later in
the morning that there was no standoff.

Late night: Senate Democrats work to pass budget
Proposal increases
taxes by $1 billion
By ANDREW TAYLOR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats neared approval of their first budget
proposal in four years on
Friday, calling for almost
$1 billion in tax increases
over the coming decade
while sheltering safety
net programs targeted by
House Republicans. The
Democrats also would reverse automatic spending
cuts that are beginning to
strike both the Pentagon
and domestic programs.
The nonbinding but politically symbolic measure
caters to party stalwarts
on the liberal edge of the
spectrum just as the House
GOP measure is crafted to
appeal to more recent tea
party arrivals.
Approval of the Senate version was expected
to come long after dark
— after dozens of votes
on amendments, many
of which were offered in
hopes of inflicting political damage on Democratic
senators up for re-election
in GOP-leaning states like
Alaska and Louisiana.
Some $1 trillion in new
revenue would flow to

well as burial records to
determine who might have
unearthed the gravesite
and whether the city’s
burial registration procedures were followed.
Under city ordinances,
funeral homes that bury
human remains in a cityowned cemetery have 10
days to register that burial
with the city clerk’s office.
Among the information
that’s required is the exact
location where the remains
are buried.
Young said he expects
the investigation to be
wrapped up within a week.
Whoever is responsible
will be charged at least
with a city ordinance violation, and possibly with a
state law violation as well,
according to Young.
Young said similar incidents have happened before in the city. About 12
years ago he investigated a
similar case, he said.
Bobbi White, director
of the Elizabeth City-Pasquotank County Parks and
Recreation Department,
which maintains the city
cemeteries, said she knows
human remains were
found at cemeteries in 2008
and 2011.
“It’s
heartbreaking,”
White said of the situation, noting the families
of those who were buried

their loved ones to be left

Young said he hopes
there will be a public outcry in response to this
case that will stop funeral
homes and gravediggers
from burying people in
existing gravesites — and
certainly stop people from
of more than $600 billion
in taxes on upper-income
earners approved in January — and would be coupled with a net $875 billion
in spending cuts. Those
reductions would be generated by modest cuts to federal health care programs,
domestic agencies and the
Pentagon and reduced government borrowing costs.
The budget proposes $100
billion in new spending for
infrastructure projects and
job training programs.
The president will reveal his own overdue taxand-spending plan in two
weeks, a plan that will be
judged in part by whether
it offers new, more politically risky proposals that
could form the foundation
for a bipartisan agreement
between the two houses.
Senators braced for dozens of votes during a marathon session running late
on Friday, with some predicting a final vote on the
Democratic plan in the predawn hours of Saturday. In
early voting Friday morning, Democrats rejected
the latest attempt to repeal
Obama’s landmark health
care law by a strictly partyline vote.
The Senate has already
taken several politically
freighted votes, including a move by Democrats
to force a vote on the Paul
Ryan House budget, which
was rejected by a 59-40 vote
Thursday night, with five
Republicans joining every
Democratic senator in opposition.
Republicans countered
with a move by Sen. Jeff
Sessions, R-Ala., putting
Democrats on record in opposition to balancing the
budget by the end of the
decade. It failed on a near
party-line vote.
Additional votes on Friday could feature forays
into off-topics like supersized soft drinks, domestic
drone strikes, handguns
and abortion — in addition
to the more traditional subjects of taxes, spending and
debt.
Such tallies give lawmakers the chance to test
support for their ideas in
the modern Senate, where
there are far fewer opportunities to offer amendments
and obtain votes. Such
votes are nonbinding. Seventeen Democrats joined
Republicans to endorse the
Keystone XL pipeline that
is to carry oil from Canada
to Texas oil refineries. And
after a bipartisan 75-24 test
vote, the Senate endorsed
an amendment by Dick

discarding unearthed human remains.
“I certainly don’t think
it was done with up-front
malice,” Young said.
But it does appear that
once the old grave was
dug, the human remains
and casket parts that were
located there were simply thrown into a nearby
swamp, Young said.
“That’s just beyond belief to me,” Young said,
adding “I’ve just been
taught all my life to respect
the dead.”
City ordinances spell out
procedures if human remains are found during the
digging of a new grave. According to the ordinance,
such digging is supposed
to stop if either human
remains or the coffin they
are buried in is unearthed.
In addition, those unearthing human remains or a
coffin are required to put
them back and restore the
ground cover “to the same
condition as it was before
the opening,” the ordinance states.
That human remains
might have been unearthed
in the Old Oak Cemetery
during the digging of a
new gravesite apparently
isn’t a surprise.
According to police, the
city has only controlled the
Old Oak Grove Cemetery
on Peartree Road since
the 1960s. Prior to then, a
number of gravesites in
the cemetery were never
recorded or marked. As
a result, it’s “essentially
impossible to locate old
burial sites without probing the earth,” according
to the release.
White said she will be
recommending to City
Council an ordinance
change designed to prevent a recurrence of the
problem.
Currently, funeral homes
are required to register
each burial within 10 days.

Camden hopes fill permits lessen flooding woes
Some cases to require
stormwater plan
By Cindy Beamon
Staff Writer
CAMDEN — Camden commissioners approved this week
a new rule designed to keep one
neighbor from flooding another’s
yard.
Adding fill to lots will now require a $50 permit. The fill permits will help the county keep
tabs on potential flooding issues
in neighborhoods, said Planning
Director Dan Porter.
In some situations, neighbors
add fill to a lot, lifting it above
surrounding properties. When
it rains, water flows to the lower
lots, which causes drainage problems, Porter said during a presentation in February.
To prevent that from happening, the new rule may require
a drainage plan from property
owners who add nine inches or
more of fill above the grade of
adjacent properties.
Commissioners voted 5-0 in
favor of the amendment to the
county’s Unified Development
Ordinance.
In many cases, the $50 permit
fee will be the only cost to a property owner, Porter said. But if the
county inspector decides nine
inches or more of fill will cause
a runoff problem, the county can
require a stormwater plan. Hiring an engineer to draw up the
plan could add another $500 to
$1,500 to construction costs, Porter estimated.
The new rule is expected to affect mostly smaller lots next door

Lawsuit
a relatively small tract of
land. Under North Carolina law, spot zoning is not
necessarily illegal and can
be approved for good reason. Spot zoning becomes
illegal if it conflicts with
the county’s land-use plan
and causes substantial
harm to nearby property
owners without an overriding benefit to the entire
community.
Goodwin’s
ruling affirms the lawsuit’s claims that the
rezoning was illegal spot
zoning. Godwin reportedly delivered the ruling
to attorneys in the case
after a March 11 hearing
in Currituck Superior
Court. The written order
outlining the judge’s reasons for his ruling had not
been filed in the Currituck
Clerk of Court’s office by
late Thursday.
Mary Etheridge said
Friday she was happy with
what she’s heard about the

Sports Writer Owen Hassell, who took third place
for Sports Coverage.
In addition to the overall
general excellence award,
The Daily Advance took
second place for General

judges commented, “Good

from the county to open

Cartwright’s attorney
had filed a lawsuit in Currituck Superior Court
to contest the Currituck
Planning Board’s earlier
denial of the special use
permit. That lawsuit now
becomes moot with Cartwright’s withdrawal of
his permit request and the
recent court ruling.
At the March 11 court
hearing, Currin argued
for the plaintiffs that
commissioners had not
adequately explained the
benefits of contradicting
the county’s land-use plan
in approving the rezoning.
The land-use plan adopted
in 2006 outlines suggested
uses for property in different areas of the county.
T hen-Commissioner
Owen Etheridge had argued in favor of the rezoning because of the
property’s proximity to a
railroad loading point; its
previous industrial use
for grain storage; and its
potential to boost muchneeded business in the

The newspaper won third

members would be exempt.
A fill permit would be required
anytime a property owner wants
to build above the grade of adjacent properties.
The UDO amendment also
prevents fill from being added
within 10 feet of any side or rear
property line and within 10 feet
of the front street property line
except for driveway improvements. Stormwater ponds cannot
be within 10 feet of a no-fill zone.
The amendment also limits fill
to 24 inches for what’s commonly
called “mound” septic systems.
Like other cornerstones
of the local economy,
Medicaid’s
importance
can probably best be understood by imagining its
absence. If Medicaid funds
and services stopped tomorrow, the effects would
be felt far beyond patients
and providers. Local health
care officials can measure
some of those effects; others are hard to imagine.
Albemarle Hospital, for
instance, relied on Medicaid last year to generate
$12 million — 11.6 percent
of its total net patient revenues, according to spokesman Patrick Detwiler.
With Medicaid covering
all but 10 percent of the
cost of health care services,
the program is crucial in
the hospital’s high-poverty
service area — and to sustaining roughly 1,000 jobs
regionally. Detwiler also
noted that median pay for
hospital employees is $22.51
per hour, almost three times
the minimum wage.
“Not receiving Medicaid
payments would significantly impact our finances,” Detwiler said.
Medicaid pays for health
care services for some
22,000 people in Albemarle
Health’s
seven-county
service area of Camden,
Chowan, Currituck, Dare,
Gates, Perquimans and
Pasquotank counties. Were
those people unable to pay
for care, Albemarle Health
would have to provide much
of it for free — increasing
the hospital’s costs for unreimbursed care, a total
already in the millions of
dollars annually.
Similarly, Medicaid paid
for health services for 51,532
patients and clients across
Albemarle Regional Health
Services’ seven-county service territory, spokeswoman
Jill Jordan said.
ARHS is the umbrella
organization for the county health departments in
Pasquotank, Perquimans,
Camden, Gates, Bertie,
Chowan and Currituck.
Services provided by the
multi-county agency include family planning, maternal health, communicable diseases, adult health,
child health, pediatric care
primary care, diabetes and
dental treatment. Medicaid
payments make up more
than $3.7 million of ARHS’
$23 million annual budget.
It also helps sustain 351
jobs across the agency.
Jordan said Medicaid’s
role is “vital” to maintaining essential public health
services. The loss of those
dollars would force the
agency to reassess its role
and scale back services,
she said.
The economic impact
of losing Medicaid would
go beyond a loss to the
health providers, Detwiler
notes. It could also result
in a sicker, less-productive work force. The region
has high rates of diabetes,
cancer, heart disease and
other chronic conditions
requiring constant attention and care.
“Unfortunately, even if
(people) have Medicaid
coverage, many patients
do not seek treatment at
the appropriate level —
such as regular visits with
a primary care provider to
manage their high blood
pressure — and end up
in (Albemarle Hospital’s)
emergency
department
even now,” Detwiler said.
“Those who seek treatment
only when a condition
becomes an emergency
will almost always have a
worse long-term outcome.
... Episodic care leads to
more serious effects on the
body and a lower quality
of life.”
Considering the high
cost of health insurance,
such episodic care would
likely become more common if low-income residents didn’t have access to
Medicaid. A study released
last year by the Commonwealth Fund, a private
foundation for health care
research, shows health
insurance premiums in
North Carolina now cost
more than one-fifth of median household income.
According to the U.S. Cen-
sus Bureau, median household income is now $52,762
nationally, $46,291 for
North Carolina and $45,298
for Pasquotank County.
Health bills, even for
common procedures without complications, easily
run into the thousands of
dollars. Detwiler estimated the base cost of a tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy at
$6,515. Delivering a newborn costs about $2,066. An
in-patient stay for chronic
obstructive
pulmonary
disorder, often caused by
smoking, typically costs
$11,610 — more than the
annual federal poverty line
income for an individual.
For low-income residents across the Albemarle, paying for health care
on their own puts them at
risk of not having enough
money for food, rent and
other necessities — money
that’s pumped into the local economy.
Medicaid, while it pays
for the treatment of the
poor and disabled, comes
with side effects.
Pasquotank Board of
Commissioners Chairman
Jeff Dixon, formerly an
Albemarle Hospital board
member, says the region’s
high percentage of Medicaid beneficiaries makes
it harder to recruit physicians, who are reimbursed
at lower rates for Medicaid
claims than for claims on
traditional health insurance. Prospective physicians tend to take their
practices elsewhere in
search of patients of
greater means, Dixon explained, causing a shortage of doctors in the local
area. The shortage makes
it harder for low-income
patients to get adequate
care, he said.
Still, Dixon would rather see more Medicaid patients than less. He said
the Medicaid expansion,
recently rejected by Gov.
Pat McCrory and the Republican-led Legislature,
would have helped Albemarle Hospital treat more
patients and given a needed boost to revenues.

ruling so far. She declined
to make any further comment until the judge’s order is official.
Godwin’s ruling reportedly dismissed claims that
Currituck commissioners’
decision had been “arbitrary and capricious.” The
judge also denied a motion
asking that Currituck pay
the plaintiffs’ attorney
fees and court costs.
Currituck Attorney Ike
McRee said he is not likely
to appeal the ruling but
wants to see the judge’s order before making a final
decision.
Robin Currin, an attorney based in Raleigh who
represented the Etheridges, could not be reached
for comment Thursday.
Cartwright said Thursday he will no longer pursue plans for the salvage
yard and no longer wants
to buy the one-acre lot currently owned by Currituck
Grain.
Even before the recent
ruling, Cartwright withdrew his application for
a special use permit, another approval he needed
to houses in older subdivisions,
Porter said.
New subdivisions already require drainage plans, but vacant
lots in older subdivisions are exempt. White Hall Shores, South
Mills Village, Treasure Point and
Milltown Road all have potential
trouble spots, Porter said.
In some cases, nine inches of
fill will cause no problem, said
Porter. Two- to four-acre properties are not likely to cause drainage problems with neighboring
properties, he said. Farmers

He said he builds a relationship with his subjects, “gaining
their trust” to create photographs that will become a part
of their family’s history.
“It’s an honor to have that
trust,” said Richardson.
Richardson said he is always
looking for a “classic, timeless”
shot. It is experience that helps
guide him towards that perfect
shot.
A groom seeing his bride in
her wedding gown for the first
time and a newly married couple
sharing a quiet moment before
they enter their reception are
candid moments caught by
Richardson’s camera.
“Photography is about light,”
said Richardson.
A spectacular sunset dazzles
in the ripples of the Pasquotank
River as Richardson takes a
family’s photograph in front of
the picturesque setting.
Richardson often finds natural
backgrounds for portraits of
families and graduating seniors.
Finding the right angles and
direction of light has resulted in
Richardson rolling up his pants
legs and taking a shot amidst
breaking waves in the ocean or
wading into the sound to take
advantage of the sun’s glistening rays on a bride’s veil.
A member of Wedding & Portrait Photographers International, Richardson’s photography
has been featured in an advertisement in The Knot Magazine.

“Not many people get to do
what they really love,” said
Richardson, who savors his time
behind the lens of a camera.

Post-traumatic stress disorder can occur after one event
D
ear Doctor K: A few months ago I
was in a serious car accident. Since
then I’ve been incredibly jumpy and
have trouble sleeping. My wife thinks I
may have PTSD. Could she be right?
Dear Reader: Post-traumatic stress
disorder — PTSD — is a condition in
which distressing symptoms occur after
a major trauma. PTSD is often discussed
in the context of troops who have served
in war zones, but you don’t have to see
battle to get PTSD.
For example, one of my patients with
PTSD, like you, was in a terrible auto
accident as a young man. The accident,
which broke many bones and caused
him to be hospitalized for many weeks,
occurred at a particular intersection not
far from his home — a drunk driver ran
a red light.
For years afterward, every time he
came near the intersection, his heart
raced, he broke out in a sweat and he
felt like he was going to die. Finally, he
stopped driving anywhere near
that intersection. But he still
had bad dreams. Fortunately,
with treatment his PTSD became much less of a problem.
About 10 years ago, though,
just after he retired, the bad
dreams came back. His explanation: “When I no longer had to
worry about work, I was free to
worry about other things.”
An aggressive schedule of
church work, book clubs
and travel helped beat
back the PTSD.
A single crisis (such as a serious car
accident) or a series of events — as long
as they are severe enough — can cause
PTSD. You could also have PTSD following:
• airplane accidents;
• physical assaults, robberies or kidnappings;
• fires;
• heart attacks and other major physical illnesses;
• natural disasters, such as
hurricanes, floods and earthquakes.
It’s normal to experience
fear, shock, helplessness, stress
and extreme sadness soon after a traumatic event. But if
you’re still experiencing these
reactions more than one
month after the event,
that might indicate a
problem. I’ve put a brief
questionnaire on my website, AskDoctorK.com. Your responses
to these questions might help you determine if you’re suffering from PTSD.
When diagnosing PTSD, doctors
often look for three things:
• Hyperarousal. This is an ongoing
state of tension that resembles a “fight
or flight” response to danger. You may
experience insomnia, angry outbursts,
Anthony
KomAroff, m.D.
an exaggerated startle response and hypervigilance. Headaches, trembling, diarrhea and fatigue are common.
• Avoidance. You may feel detached or
numb. You may be unable to talk about
the traumatic event or revisit the place
where it occurred. PTSD patients also
often withdraw from people and social
events, particularly those even remotely
associated with the trauma.
• Re-experiencing. This is the worst
symptom. You may have unwelcome and
disruptive thoughts about the event that
interfere with normal concentration and
function. Recurrent nightmares are also
quite typical. In extreme cases, you may
mentally relive the traumatic experience.
Talk to your doctor. Whether or not
you have PTSD, you clearly need support
to recover from your experience. If it is
PTSD, psychological support, drug therapy or a combination should help.

Minister’s daughter cloisters herself in boyfriend’s room
D
ear Abby: My 25-year-old son,
“Mark,” lives at home, has a fulltime job and dates a girl, “Julia,”
who is a minister’s daughter. He keeps
bringing her to our home on occasions
when she’s “sick” or needs to catch an
early flight and he needs to drive her to
the airport. They are seeing only each
other.
Julia is in pre-med and Mark thinks
she’s wonderful and smart. Abby, when
she’s here, she holes up in his room
and never comes out. She’s as quiet as a
mouse. I am boisterous, and I get the feeling I turn her off.
The last time she stayed over was before an out-of-state interview Mark was
driving her to. Abby, she never even said
hello or goodbye. He made her breakfast
in bed, and they sat there laughing and
eating with the door shut.
When she visits she stays down in our
den and ignores the rest of us the entire
time, as does Mark. After the
holidays, she left without wishing us “Happy Holidays” or even
giving us a card. I had a present
for her, but didn’t give it to her
because I decided I wouldn’t go
out of my way for a person who
ignores me.
I want my son to move out. I do
not want this girl sleeping over
or staying under my roof anymore. I don’t like her. What
should I do? My mother says I
should put my foot down and
send my grown son out the
door. She says I need to grow a spine, but
I’m afraid! — Mama in Ohio
Dear Mama: You are dealing with
two separate issues. Your son is seriously involved with a girl who either
never learned basic good manners or
who may be pathologically shy. You and
your husband should talk privately with
Mark and find out exactly what
her problem is. You also need
to establish some ground rules
for when she visits, so you don’t
feel shut out under your own
roof.
Adult “children” live with
their parents for various reasons. Some can’t afford to live
independently; others are trying to save money to buy a
home of their own. I don’t
know Mark’s reason and neither will you if you don’t address this with him.
Your mother may be right. It may be
time for him to move. But what concerns
me about what has been going on is the
lack of communication and a certain
lack of respect. And nothing will change
unless you and your husband insist upon
it.
Dear Abby: This year my school start-
AbigAil
VAn buren
ed an international program, so we have
students from around the world who
attend school with us. I’d like to learn
about their countries and invite them to
the youth group I attend, but I’m nervous
about talking to them and don’t think I
could work up the nerve. I’m also worried about what they will think of me.
What should I say and do? — Apprehensive in Indiana
Dear Apprehensive: Please don’t be
afraid to reach out. Put yourself in those
students’ shoes. If you were in a strange
school in a foreign country, wouldn’t you
be glad if someone approached you and
introduced himself or herself and invited you to an activity, or to their home
for dinner? All you need to do is smile
and say, “Hi, I’m —.” If you do, you could
start a lifelong friendship and expand
your horizons further than you could
ever dream.

Actress Tina Fey’s ‘Admission’ is not hard to get into
Y
es, the film’s title is
a double entendre.
“Admission” is both
about a college admissions
counselor and about a secret admission from her
past.
When uptight Princeton staffer Portia Nathan
makes a recruiting call on
an alternative high school,
she not only hooks up with
old boyfriend John Pressman who runs the school,
but she meets a gifted kid
who might just be the child
she gave up for adoption
years ago.
It’s billed as a comedy, but
whoa! — the subject sounds
serious to me.
The cast is one that can
almost pull it off. Tina Fey
(TV’s “30 Rock” and “Saturday Night Live”) as befuddled Portia. Paul Rudd
(“Dinner for Schmucks,”
“Our Idiot Brother”) as old
beau John; with backup
performances by Michael
acress tina Fey is shown in a
scene from “admission.”
shirrel
rhoades
Sheen
(“Frost/Nixon,”
“The Queen”) as Portia’s
current, weasel of a boyfriend; Lily Tomlin (TV’s
“West Wing,” “Nine to
Five”) as her feisty mom;
plus Wallace Shawn (“The
Princess Bride,” “My Dinner With Andre”) and Gloria Reuben (TV’s “ER,”
“Lincoln”).
And young Nat Wolff
(TV’s “The Naked Brothers
Band,” “New Year’s Eve”)
plays the part of Jeremiah,
the boy in question.
Based on the book by
Jean Korelitz, “Admission”
is directed by Paul Weitz
(“About a Boy”).
“The situation is fun because Tina is so desperate
to get this one kid into the
school,” says Weitz.
Here, Tina Fey reprises
her unlucky-in-love career woman persona as an
admissions counselor at
Princeton University. How-
ever, in real life Tina failed
her own admissions interview to that prestigious institution.
“My mom wanted me to
apply to Princeton, because
she had this dream since I
was a kid that I would apply to Princeton,” she tells
the story. “And it was not
happening. I had this small
plaid skirt on, and a suit
jacket, and I just wasn’t
bringing it.” As Tina shook
the interviewer’s hand, she
was thinking, “Nope. I can
tell. I can tell from the moment we’re meeting that
you’re not into me.”
Eventually, she got accepted at the University of
Virginia.
Princeton’s loss, she
shrugs. But that was then.
“Unlike now, where I’m dazzling,” she smiles prettily.
Director Paul Weitz
chuckles at Tina’s college
woes.
“It probably, on some
level, feels like the end of
the world, whether you get
in somewhere or not, but it
doesn’t matter. You have to
have control over your in-
tellectual growth and your
growth as a person. Good
for you if you get into Princeton — that’s fantastic, but
that doesn’t solve anything.
Don’t let anybody tell you
that you’re not worthwhile
because you don’t achieve
a specific thing. Sometimes
it’s how you react to failure
that makes you as a person.”
Nonetheless, Weitz believes real-life admissions
officers have a really hard
job. “They’re really trying
to get people who are going
to succeed and benefit from
being there. It’s a very, very
subjective one, no matter
how hard they try to make
it objective.”
Paul Rudd didn’t have
that problem. “I never applied to any colleges,” he
admits. “My parents are
European, I don’t think
they understood the process.”

NEW YORK — Jay Leno
and the “Tonight” show is
one of the few remaining
successful programs that
NBC has on its network.
So why would its executives think about getting
rid of him?
NBC has confirmed that
it is building a new studio
for Jimmy Fallon at its
New York headquarters
but refuses to comment
on reports that Fallon is
due to replace Leno on
a New York-based “Tonight” show as early as
next year.
With Leno already taking potshots at network
executives regularly in his
monologue, the network
risks repeating the nightmare of 2010, when Conan
O’Brien failed at “Tonight” and NBC brought
Leno back.
“They seem to be making the same mistakes
over and over again with
a new regime,” said Christine Becker, an associate
aP FiLe Photo
as Jay Leno lobs potshots at ratings-challenged NBc in his
“tonight show” monologues, speculation is swirling the network is taking steps to replace the host with Jimmy Fallon next
year and move the show from Burbank to New York.
professor at Notre Dame
University and author of
the News For TV Majors
blog. “You kind of wonder
what’s in the water at NBC
that is making them make
that decision.”
On its face, such a move
would seem like a proactive strategy from NBC’s
new corporate owners at
Comcast Corp., known for
its decisive decision-mak-
ing.
Leno, 62, and his longtime rival David Letterman, 65, are approaching the end of their long
late-night reigns. Fallon,
38 and with his own latenight show getting critical acclaim, represents
the next generation.
So does Jimmy Kimmel,
45, at ABC, and that network made the strategic
chess move in January to
give him the same time
slot as Leno and Letterman.
Leno’s contract expires
next year and so does
Letterman’s, so some
corporate fear might be
involved: Does NBC risk
losing Fallon to another
network that can offer an
earlier time slot than the
12:35 a.m. one he currently occupies?
There’s also some concern that Kimmel will
establish himself as the
11:35 p.m. favorite of a
younger audience before
Fallon can establish himself.
While all the corporate
thinking is going on, Leno
has continued to stay in
the ratings lead.
That’s no small feat at
NBC, which has seen its
prime-time lineup collapse
to historic ratings lows
this winter. Leno, “Saturday Night Live,” and
Brian Williams’ “Nightly
News” are the only reliable ratings leaders left at
the network.

Nine-time All-Pro safety ed Reed is leaving
the Super Bowl champion Ravens.
Free agent Reed signs with Texans
HOUSTON — Free agent safety Ed
Reed is finally a Houston Texan.
The nine-time Pro Bowl safety
signed a contract with Houston on Friday, a week after leaving town with no
deal in place.
The Texans did not disclose terms,
though the Houston Chronicle reported it was a three-year deal worth $15
million, with $5 million guaranteed.
The move is another blow to Baltimore, where Reed played his first 11
NFL seasons.
The 34-year-old Reed made $7.2
million last season with the Ravens,
who’ve been gutted in free agency
since beating San Francisco in the
Super Bowl. Reed and Ray Lewis were
cornerstones of one of the NFL’s most
feared defenses for more than a decade, and now both are gone. Lewis
retired and now works for ESPN.

won three last year, and has won the
pole three times at Auto Club Speedway.
Biffle was right behind at 187.217

PHILADELPHIA —
Duke had been hearing
about Lehigh for a year.
The
second-seeded
Blue Devils used the
perimeter shooting of
Seth Curry and the inside dominance of Mason Plumlee to put last
season’s NCAA tournament upset to rest,
beating Albany 73-61
on Friday in the second
round of the Midwest
Regional.
It was in the same
round — and with the
same seeding — that
Duke was shocked by
Lehigh last March.
“Doesn’t really matter to us what people are
talking about,” Plumlee
said. “We’re very confident. I thought it was
a good win today, and
we’re just focused on
us.”
It may not have been
a blowout against 15thseeded Albany, but the
Blue Devils (28-5) held
a comfortable lead
throughout and will
play
seventh-seeded

Freshman keeps Blue Devils rolling without Gray
Luis M. ALvArez/Ap photo
NCAA WomeN
AP Sports Writer
in the absence of the injured
Chelsey Gray, freshman Alexis
Jones of Duke (left) has stepped
up her game.
DURHAM — Duke hasn’t
missed a beat with Alexis
Jones running the show.
Since sliding over to play
point guard after Chelsea Gray was injured, the
flashy freshman has played
with supreme confidence
— and her versatility and
leadership have kept the
Blue Devils flying high entering the NCAA tournament.
“Basically, (I’m) just using my skill ability that I
have and basically trying
to make the team just go
like I know I can,” Jones
said.
Jones will have to keep it
going for a few more weeks
if the second-seeded Blue
Devils (30-2) are to reach
their first Final Four since
2006.
against North Carolina
in the ACC championship
game, led to her selection
as the MVP of the tournament and prompted some
high praise from Tar Heels
coach Sylvia Hatchell.
“From what I can see,
they’re probably a better
team with Alexis Jones
out there than they were
with Chelsea Gray,” Hatchell said. “They’re doing a
lot of things with Alexis
at point that they weren’t
doing when Chelsea was
there.”
When Gray went down
with a dislocated kneecap
on Feb. 17, the question
popped up immediately —
how could the Blue Devils
possibly be as good without their star, pass-first
point guard?
By JOEDY MccREARY
They begin tournament
play on Sunday against
15th-seeded Hampton (285) in the first round of the
Norfolk Regional.
She seems to be at her
best when facing the best
opponents. Jones’ three
highest-scoring
games
have all come against nationally ranked teams and
in the absence of Gray, the
Atlantic Coast Conference
co-player of the year.
Her run was capped by
a 24-point performance
But Jones — with a quick
first step and the ability to
create her own shot — has
done plenty to soothe those
concerns. Duke is 6-1 since
Gray’s injury.
“I think it’s just more of
the teams that we play, and
more of the creating that I
can do to help our team,”
Jones said.
She scored a then-season
high 15 points in a win at
No. 8 Maryland and outdid herself with 22 against
North Carolina in the regular season finale before
taking over the ACC tournament, averaging nearly
18 points in three games
while leading the Blue
Devils to their third league
title in four years.
“I tell you, it’s inspiring,
isn’t it?” coach Joanne P.
McCallie said. “She’s one
of the best listeners I’ve
ever coached and as she
developed with her dad
coaching her, she must
have developed that skill,
and it has allowed her to be
beyond her years in maturity and also in skill level.”
Jones developed those
moves back in her hometown of Midland, Texas,
out of necessity.
Her father and first
coach, David Jones, said
she started playing at age 4,
performed the same drills
as her brother who is nine
years older than she is, and
played with seventh-grade
girls while she was in the
fourth and fifth grades.
She came up with her
repertoire while playing
against the boys back in
Midland, including current Baylor wide receiver
Antwan Goodley.
“They don’t like to lose,
so they treated me like a
guy — they never treated
me like, ‘Oh, she’s just a
girl, she can’t play,’” Alexis
Jones said. “Guys are a lot
quicker and they like to
dribble, so just watching
them play, I think, I developed my skills by playing
one-on-one a lot.”

Tournament.
The Pirates (19-12) host
the Broncs (19-14) at 5 p.m.
in Minges Coliseum today
and ECU is hopeful it can
add another memory to an
already historic season.
East Carolina’s 66-65 win
over Savannah State on
Tuesday in the first round
of the CIT was the Pirates’
first-ever Division I postseason victory. A win today
will give ECU a 20-win season for the first time as a DI program and for only the
second time since the program’s inception in 1931.
“We’ve been having a
great season,” said Mau-
rice Kemp, a 6-foot-8 senior
forward who leads the Pirates in scoring with an
18.7 points per game average. “To still be playing
at this time of year and
to have an opportunity to
make history once again is
pretty cool.”
Rating Rider
The Broncs are led by
Jonathan Thompson, a 6-4
senior guard who is averaging 12.8 points per game.
Senior Anthony Myles, a
6-5 junior guard, scores
at a 12.4 ppg clip while 67 junior forward Daniel
Stewart is the team’s lead-
ing rebounder (7.4 rpg) and
averages 10.8 points per
outing.
“They’re very athletic
and they have big, athletic
guards who can score,
which is a concern for us,”
Lebo said.
Stress factor
ECU junior guard Akeem
Richmond, whose late season tear continued with a
14-point night against Savannah State, recognized
the significance of being
a part of the Pirates’ landmark win on Tuesday, but
admitted it was not all fun
and games.
“It’s an amazing feeling,” said Richmond, who
is averaging 11.4 points
per game and has made 99
3-pointers, a single-season
Pirate record and tied for
the 11th most in Division I
this season. “It’s all about
surviving and advancing.
It’s very stressful though. I
will say that. ... But survive,
advance. You live to fight
another day.”
The players were not the
only ones feeling pressure
late in the win over the Tigers. ECU, which trailed by
as many as 15 points in the
second half, did not lead
until Miguel Paul, a senior
point guard averaging 13.1
ppg, hit a 3 with 47 seconds
left to play.
Paul then had to hit two
free throws with 13 ticks remaining to give the Pirates
the lead for good and they
still were not in the clear
until Richmond prevented
Savannah State’s Rashad
Hassan from getting off
a shot on the game’s final
possession.
When asked what Lebo
told ECU’s players during a timeout at the 9-second mark, Paul replied,
“‘Get that stop.’ He was
like, ‘Don’t give me a heart
attack.’”
Earnhardt modest about fast start
followed up with three
solid races, coming in fifth
at Phoenix, seventh in Las
Vegas and sixth last weekend at Bristol despite a
rough day. Earnhardt has
been driving too long to get
excited a mere month into
the season, even if his fans
don’t share his caution.
“When I hear people
talking about the fast start,
I just feel like you’ve got to
take a lot of different factors into the equation,” he
said. “We’ve had good fortune. We’ve got real lucky.
... We’ve ran well. We’ve
had good cars, too. We also
had real good fortunes on
where we were restarting,
what lane we were in, and
just having good opportunities to get positions for
various reasons at the end
of these races.”
His teammates realize
it’s more than luck that’s
keeping Earnhardt up
front. He’s already comfortable in NASCAR’s new
Gen-6 car, which suits his
driving skills well.
“Junior Nation, as we
all know, is very vocal and
large,” Jimmie Johnson
said. “Any time he wins,
it’s a nice reprieve from
the pressure that’s associated with that. It would
mean a lot to him on many
levels, and for his team.
They’ve been getting so
much stronger year after
year, week after week, and
I think they’ll be winning
on a regular basis here before long.”
There’s a good reason
Earnhardt always brings
discussions about his early steadiness back around
to the importance of finishing first. He has made a
tradition of getting off to
strong starts — most notably in 2004, when he won at
Daytona and Atlanta early
— only to cool off late in
the season.
Earnhardt has been
fairly consistent in recent
seasons, yet has still won
only four races in the last
eight years. His victory at
Michigan last August was
his first win since 2008.
Yet his current start is
his best yet: Earnhardt
had never put up an average finish of better than
10.25 in the first four races
of the Sprint Cup series.
He’s just one of five drivers to complete all 1,283
laps this season, and no-
“We ended on a good run
to the regionals and it’s
sad that it’s over, but here’s
a game where we have
the opportunity to play
together one more time,”
Forbes said. “We’ll make
the best of it and have a
good time.”
It’s also a time to make
another impression on college coaches.
Coaches from Division
II schools such as CIAA
teams Chowan, Virginia
State and Elizabeth City
State will be on hand, as
well as North Carolina
Wesleyan, Pitt Community
College and Christopher
Newport.
Forbes, who has been
accepted to Christopher
Newport, is still undecided
on his college plans and if
they will include basketball.
“I’ll just go out and play,
and if coaches see me and
like me and want to talk
to me, I’ll consider them,”
Forbes said. “Overall, you
just go out there and play.”
Camden’s seniors will
play alongside Four Rivers
Conference rivals Carl McCray from Plymouth and
South Creek’s Justin Williams.
The North Carolina team
will also have Bertie’s Malcolm Cherry and Raekwon
Williams and First Flight’s
Billy Foster.
“This is a chance to
see them one more time
and maybe confirm an offer,” showcase organizer
Shawn Tolson said. “I’ve
seen this game do that for
some kids.”
The crop of Hampton
Roads players have yet to
lose in the annual contest,
and while not the absolute
best team it could offer, will
boast three players — Jacorey Smith and Byron Taylor of King’s Fork in Suffolk and Steve Beinlien of
Great Bridge — that were
named on The Virginian
Pilot’s All-Tidewater Second Team.

FONTANA, Calif. —
Dale Earnhardt Jr. had
never filled out an NCAA
tournament bracket before this year, even though
he’s a hoops fan.
He would have done it
earlier, but he doesn’t like
to lose.
“I didn’t really know if
brackets were even that
fun to do,” he said Friday.
“I hate making the wrong
pick, but what are you going to do? There’s a lot of

NASCAR’s most popular

a whole lot closer to some
more important victories
during his outstanding
start to the year. With two
top-five finishes already,
Earnhardt is second in the

“It’s a long year, and
we’re going to have some
bad luck,” he said. “It’s
bound to happen. Nobody
runs the whole season perfectly, and I’m just trying
to get as many points as we
can early, so when that bad
luck comes, it doesn’t hit
us as hard as it hits some
of these guys early.”
Earnhardt saw the importance of early points
up close last season, when
Hendrick
Motorsports
teammates Kasey Kahne
and Jeff Gordon got off to
slow starts and spent all
summer playing catch-up.
After two straight trips to
the Chase, Earnhardt has
proved he knows plenty
about consistency.
While other drivers
whine about the new Gen6 car’s quirks and worry
about its development

against them.”
In the girls game, the

Fla. Gulf Coast, La Salle score huge upsets

NCAA
Tournament
Kansas State’s rodney Mcgruder

D.J. peterson at the Sprint Center
in Kansas City on Friday.
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA
—
Sherwood Brown scored
24 points and Bernard
Thompson had 23 to lead
Florida Gulf Coast to an
incredible NCAA tournament debut, a 78-68 win
over second-seeded Georgetown on Friday night in the
second round of the South
Regional.
The Eagles, in their
second season of being
eligible for Division I postseason, became just the
seventh No. 15 seed to beat
a No. 2.
FGCU (25-10) will play
the winner of the game
between
seventh-seeded
NC State
Houston, sending Valvano on his joyous ramble
around the court.
Given the expectations for
this season, the ending was
a huge disappointment.
“I wouldn’t say it weighed
on us, but when you come
in the season with a target
on your back like we had,
people are going to give
you their best shot,” Howell said. “There were times
when we came out and
didn’t give other teams our
best shot.”
Times like Friday.
The Wolfpack trailed
most of the game but cut it
to 74-72 on Lorenzo Brown’s
jumper with more than
2 seconds left. Wyatt was
fouled on the inbounds play
and finished it off. He went
6 for 6 from the line in the final 32 seconds even though
he hurt his left thumb in
the second half, making
him grimace every time it
got touched.
The Owls (24-9) are trying
to shed their reputation as
San Diego State and No.
10 Oklahoma in the third
round on Sunday.
La Salle 63, Kansas
State 61: Jerrell Wright
made three foul shots in
the final 30 seconds, and
the No. 13 seed Explorers
an easy-out team. They’d
made the tournament each
of the last five years, losing
their opening game all but
once. They haven’t been to
the round of 16 since 2001,
when they reached the regional final.
They were having one
of their best games of the
season, holding a 17-point
lead, before Wyatt got hurt,
giving them a huge fright.
The Atlantic 10’s player
of the year and top scorer
got his thumb caught in a
defender’s jersey and had it
twisted backward.
He took himself out of
the game — a sign something was badly wrong
— got it taped and returned
to finish it off.
How bad was it?
“It’s sore,” he said, then
realized that didn’t fully
capture the depth of the
discomfort.
“It’s sore,” he added. “It’s
sore.”
Every shot was an adventure, but he made enough
to keep Temple around for
more than one game. He hit
his last two with 2.2 seconds
to go, finishing 12 of 14 from
the line overall.
survived after blowing an
18-point halftime advantage to beat fourth-seeded
Kansas State.
Wright, who scored a
game-high 21 points for
the Explorers (22-9), made
the first two free throws to
Duke
in the third round,” said
Duke forward Ryan Kelly,
who missed the Lehigh
game because of injury.
Curry scored 26 points
on 10-of-14 shooting, and
Plumlee was 9 of 11 — including six dunks — for 23
points.
“These two guys really came through for us,”
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said.
Quinn Cook had 11 assists — many on lob passes inside to Plumlee — and
Duke shot 58.7 percent (27
of 46), just off its seasonbest 60.8 percent against
Florida State.
“He was really good.
Passing the ball, that’s
as well as he’s played in
a while,” Plumlee said.
“That gets guys going, and
it’s really hard to guard a
passer. I thought he played
great and just made life
easier for everybody else
offensively.”
The Blue Devils, who
lost 75-70 to 15th-seeded
give La Salle a 62-61 lead.
Kansas State’s Jordan Henriquez missed in the paint
at the other end, and Wright
made the first of two more
foul shots with 9.6 seconds
to go.
The Wildcats (27-8) raced
down court, looking for
a tying basket, but point
guard Angel Rodriguez got
hung up in the corner near
the Kansas State bench. His
off-balance shot over the
corner of the backboard
missed everything, and the
Explorers jumped off their
bench to celebrate.
The Explorers will play
12th-seeded
Mississippi,
which knocked off No. 5
Wisconsin 57-46 earlier in
the day, for a spot in the
round of 16 in a suddenly
shredded West Region.
Miami 78, Pacific 49:
Shane Larkin, the sophomore who is the only nonsenior starter for the Hurricanes and the ACC player
of the year, had 10 points
and matched his career
high with nine assists as
No. 2 seed Miami breezed
in the East Regional.
Playing their first NCAA
tourney game in five years,
the Hurricanes (28-6) took
control with a 14-0 run midway through the first half.
They went on to their mostlopsided victory ever in the
tournament.
Durand Scott had 21
points with five 3-pointers
for the Hurricanes, who already have four wins more
than they ever had before.
Reggie Johnson had seven
points and 10 rebounds.
The Hurricanes will play
Sunday against Colorado
or Illinois.
Indiana 83, James
Madison 62: Freshman
Yogi Ferrell scored 14
points in the first six minutes as top-seeded Indiana
slam dunked its way over
James Madison.
Creighton 67, Cincinnati 63: Doug McDermott
had 27 points and 11 rebounds, and Gregory Echenique scored 13 points to
help Creighton hold on in
the Midwest Regional.
The seventh-seeded Bluejays (28-7) move on to play
Duke on Sunday.
Mississippi 57, Wisconsin 46: Marshall Henderson shook out of a shooting
slump and scored 17 points
in the second half, leading
12th-seeded
Mississippi
past No. 5 Wisconsin.
Illinois 57, Colorado

Great Danes (24-11), who
got as close as eight points
with 4:40 to play.
“They’re Duke for a
reason. They’re good for
a reason. They have great
players all around you,”
said Albany guard Jacob
Iati, who finished with 15
points. “They play in big
games all season long and
their whole careers every
game is like that for them.
For us, it’s like the game
of a lifetime; for them,
it’s just another day in the
