Bradford Creek’s fate to be debated
■ A consulting firm suggests increasing Bradford
Creek’s annual membership by realigning staff,
increasing green fees and issuing more than
$500,000 in city-sanctioned subsidies.
the daily reflector
The Greenville City
Council tonight will consider whether a five-year plan
suggested for the Bradford
Creek Public Golf Course
is a practical approach to
ensuring the club remains
viable in a market that some
believe is overcrowded with
suppliers.
The proposal recommended for the course by
the consulting firm Golf
Convergence of Castle Rock,
Colo., suggests increasing
Bradford Creek’s annual
membership by realigning staff, increasing green
fees and issuing more than
$500,000 in city-sanctioned
subsidies to the municipal
club.
The council agreed in
Januarynot to sell Bradford
Creek, but had some dif-
ficulty accepting a 90-page
strategic vision for the course
written by Golf Convergence that had the city pay
$130,000 a year and make a
$400,000 capital investment
in the course to bring it in
line with its finances and industry standards.
The council will hear
staff’s evaluation of the con-

A weekend DWI checkpoint
resulted in 55 traffic citations
and arrests and potentially saved
lives, according to police who set
up overnight Saturday next to
Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
Officers from multiple agencies manned the checkpoint
from 10 p.m. Saturday to 2:30
a.m. Sunday on 14th Street near
Berkley Road, where suspected
drunk drivers were escorted on
board a BATmobile — Breath
Alcohol Test mobile — to be
tested for impairment at one of
six breath stations.

accused to a sober, responsible
adult or have the person transported to jail.
Police on Sunday afternoon
had not reported how many people were stopped during the effort,
and information about arrests and
charges was not available.
Tests were administered by
Stephen Morgart, state BATmobile manager who created the
program and travels across the
state. The former 22-year New
York policeman came to North
Carolina and received a grant
in 1995 to begin the program.
The first vehicle was obtained in
1996.
“They said, ‘OK, here’s the
grant, you’ve got three years to
do it. You’re out of a job if it fails,’
but it worked,” he said. Grants
also paid for the program’s seven
vehicles, many of which were
purchased for about $230,000.
The newest BATmobile was
used here during the weekend
effort. It is a 1-month-old “dream
vehicle” purchased at $529,000
that works well at larger checkpoints.
“We would get overwhelmed
at large checkpoints,” he said. “It

to May to allow additional
time for negotiations and
discovery.
By Kristin ZaChary
The Daily Reflector
A trial slated to begin today
in the August 2011 murder of
a popular Greenville figure outside his Fleming Street home
was pushed to May to allow additional time for negotiations
and discovery.
In October,
a trial date was
set today for
Willie James
Langley
Jr.,
24, charged
with murder,
possession of
a firearm by
LangLey
a felon and
robbery with
a dangerous
weapon in the
death of William
Hardy
“Bozo” Cooper, 60.
The
trial
was postponed
Cooper
this month as
negotiations continue between
the state and the defense, and
prosecutors still are working
to provide case documents to
Langley’s attorney as part of the
discovery process required by
law, according to District Attorney Kimberly Robb.
Greenville police received reports of shots fired on Fleming
Street about 2 a.m. on Aug. 24,
2011. Cooper was found dead
from a gunshot wound to the
chest in his Mercury Marquis
outside of his home at 1491-B
Fleming St.

Bless Your Heart
Allow me to apologize
for driving at the speed limit, and bless the hearts of all
those who get upset at me.
Make your obscene gestures
to the DOT and not to me.
It is not my fault; it is theirs.
I am just trying to follow the
law.
Bless the heart of the DR
poll on hiring new resource
officers in the schools. That
is not the problem. The
problem is in the homes
and not in the schools. Send
the resource officers to the
homes. That is where they
are needed.
BYH to The Humane So-
w
ciety of Eastern
Carolina and the
city leaders. The
Canine Crawl
where my husband, our dog, and
I spent a very pleasant
afternoon with many
other people from the
area was well-organized and
is such a good cause for the
area.
To city leaders: The parking lot and the parking spaces on the street were still full
in the afternoon. I was so
grateful that Greenville had
a space that would allow this
gathering. There were no
buildings to limit our view
of the river. I hope it stays
that way.
Be smart. Allow Greenville to
continue to have
this open, green
space
downtown
with no interference by
bricks and mortar.
BYH
Bless your heart to my
husband, who would rather
spend all his time at home
on his iPad or iPhone rather
than with his two young
children. I hope Craigslist,
Facebook and God knows
whatever else are that important to you when your
children are grown and have
no relationship with their
father.
Yield means to slow
down or render to stop your
vehicle to give right away to
other vehicles and pedestrians. This does not mean
you should go through a
yield sign without stopping
or rendering your vehicle
to slow down to an almost
stopped position.
Just for those of you who
refuse to slow down and
speed up in the death circle
off Fire Tower and Portertown Road without yielding. Where are the folks
who control traffic, police
officers, Highway Patrol?
You really need to focus on
this in the mornings between 7:15-8:00.
I had the misfortune to
take a fall at the entrance
of Lowe’s Food Store. For a
short period, I was not able
to get up, since the fall exacerbated my knee replacement surgery. I was lying on
the floor in great pain with
bleeding wounds and torn
clothing from the hard fall,
trying to get my strength.
There were some shoppers, however, who did not
need any additional strength
as they gathered their shopping cart and carefully
weaved their way around me
as I lay prone on the floor.
These intrepid shoppers
were able to maneuver their
carts over and around me
and enter the market without even slowing down to
perhaps be a “good Samaritan” or, indeed, to respond
to a fellow human being in
need. Bless their hearts. I am
so glad that no one tripped
and fell over me.
Bless the heart of those
who may want to take a
White House tour as they
are now closed. But for a
donation of $500,000, you
may visit four times a year.

Skydivers did not deploy chutes
Girl seeks help after crash
Endangered giraffe born
Two Icelandic skydivers who died during
weekend jumps at a southwest Florida camp
did not deploy their main parachutes, the coowner of the facility said Sunday.
Deputies found the bodies of the skydiving instructor and a student Saturday after
the two did not return from a jump with
a group, setting off an hours-long air and
ground search around the Zephyrhills facility, about 30 miles northeast of Tampa.
Pasco County sheriff’s authorities identified the victims as 41-year-old instructor
Orvar Arnarson and 25-year-old student
Andrimar Pordarson of Iceland. The men
jumped separately, not in tandem.
The fact that the men did not deploy their
main parachutes could mean that they lost
altitude awareness and did not know where
they were during the dive, which is unusual,
T.K. Hayes, co-owner of Skydive City, said.
A 9-year-old girl crawled out of a mangled SUV, climbed out of a canyon and
walked about a mile in the middle of the
night to find help after surviving a highway crash that killed her father in Southern
California, authorities said.
The 2010 Ford Escape was launched
about 200 feet down an embankment along
a semi-rural stretch of the Sierra Highway
in Acton about 1 a.m. Sunday, California
Highway Patrol Officer Cheyenne Quesada said. The vehicle overturned several
times.
The girl managed to extricate herself
and walk through rugged terrain to a nearby home, but nobody answered the door,
the CHP said. She then hiked up the steep
embankment and along the road to a commuter rail station, where she flagged down
a passing motorist about 2:30 a.m.
A rare, nearly 6-foot-tall giraffe listed as
an endangered subspecies has been born in
a Connecticut conservation center.
Petal, a 6-year-old Rothschild giraffe,
gave birth on Friday to female calf as a
group of other giraffes and staff at the LEO
Zoological Conservation Center watched.
Marcella Leone, founder and director of
the center, said the young animal is curious, approaching humans early on.
When fully grown, the newborn, who
will mingle with a group of five giraffes,
could reach 18 feet in height.
The calf is the first born at the off-exhibit
conservation center.
Rothschild giraffes were named and described by Lord Walter Rothschild, a British zoologist, after an expedition to East
Africa in the early 1900s.

A fLIGHt INfOrMAtION SIGN at the renovated Birminghamshuttlesworth international Airport in Birmingham, Ala., fell
on a mother and her three children Friday, killing one child and
injuring the mother and her two other children.
Airport flight sign is
removed after fatality
the Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM,
Ala.
— Airport officials looking
into why a flight information panel fell on a family
and killed a 10-year-old boy
took down an identical sign
on Saturday.
Officials at the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport removed the
panel a day after a sign fell
on Luke Bresette of Overland Park, Kan., killing him.
His mother was severely
injured, and two of his siblings also were hospitalized.
The children were being
treated at Children’s Hospital
of Alabama. Their mother,
Heather Bresette, was taken
to University Hospital, where
spokeswoman Nicole Wyatt
said she is in critical condition.
Firefighters estimated the
panel, which displayed arrival and departure times,
weighed 300 to 400 pounds.
It was in a recently renovated terminal that includes
two concourses.
The flight sign fell in a
renovated concourse that
opened March 13 and was
part of a $201.6 million
upgrade of Birmingham’s
airport. The construction
began in June 2011 and is
being overseen by Brasfield
& Gorrie Global Services
Group. The Birminghambased company issued a
statement saying it is working with authorities to determine why the sign fell.
“This is a terrible tragedy
that none of us fully understand, and we hope that the
family who lost their loved
one will find strength through
prayer and the support of all
of us,” the statement said.
Mayor William Bell said
he talked with the boy’s father — who was not injured
— and is pressing officials
to explain how the sign toppled over.
WASHINGTON — Two of the
loudest voices in the gun debate say it’s
up to voters now to make their positions known to Congress.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and National Rifle Associate Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre
claim their opposing views on guns
have the support of the overwhelming
number of Americans. They are looking at the next two weeks as critical
to the debate, when lawmakers head
home to hear from constituents ahead
of next month’s anticipated Senate vote
on gun control.
Bloomberg, a former Republicanturned-independent, has just sunk
$12 million for Mayors Against Illegal
Guns to run television ads and phone
banks in 13 states urging voters to tell
their senators to pass legislation requiring universal background checks
for gun buyers.
“We demanded a plan and then we
demanded a vote. We’ve got the plan,
we’re going to get the vote. And now
it’s incumbent on us to make our voices heard,” Bloomberg said.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
said Thursday that legislation would
likely be debated in his chamber next
month that will include expanded federal background checks, tougher laws
and stiffer sentences for gun trafficking and increased school safety grants.
A ban on assault-style weapons was
dropped from the bill, fearing it would
sink the broader bill. But Reid has
said that he would allow the ban to be
voted on separately as an amendment.
President Barack Obama called for a
vote on the assault weapons ban in his
radio and Internet address Saturday.
Recalling the horrific shooting three
months ago at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school that left 20 first graders and six school administrators dead,
Bloomberg said it would be a great
tragedy if Congress, through inaction,
lost the moment to make the country
safer from gun violence. Bloomberg
said that 90 percent of Americans and
wAyNE LAPIErrE, left, ceo of the National rifle Association, makes remarks
at cPAc 2013 at the Gaylord National resort & convention center in National
harbor, Md. New York city Mayor Michael Bloomberg, right, speaks to the
economic club of Washington. Two of the loudest voices in the gun debate say it
is up to voters to make their positions known to congress.
80 percent of NRA members support
universal background checks for gun
purchases.
“I don’t think there’s ever been an
issue where the public has spoken so
clearly, where Congress hasn’t eventually understood and done the right
thing,” Bloomberg said.
But the NRA’s LaPierre counters
that universal background checks are
“a dishonest premise.” For example,
mental health records are exempt from
databases and criminals won’t submit
to the checks. Background checks, he
said, are a “speed bump” in the system
that “slows down the law-abiding and
does nothing for anybody else.”
“The shooters in Tucson, in Aurora,
in Newtown, they’re not going to be
checked. They’re unrecognizable,”
LaPierre said. He was referring to the
2011 shooting in a Tucson shopping
center that killed six and wounded 13,
including former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and the July assault in a suburban Denver movie theater that killed
12 and injured 70. In both instances,
as well as in the Newtown killings, the
alleged shooters used military-style assault rifles with high-capacity ammunition magazines.
LaPierre slammed Bloomberg for
the ad buy.
“He’s going to find out this is a country of the people, by the people and for
the people. And he can’t spend enough
of his $27 billion to try to impose his
will on the American public,” LaPierre
said, adding, “He can’t buy America.”
“Millions of people” from across
the country are sending the NRA “$5,
$10, $15, $20 checks, saying stand up
to this guy,” LaPierre said, referring to
Bloomberg.
LaPierre said the NRA supports
a bill to get the records of those adjudicated mentally incompetent and
dangerous into the background check
system for gun dealers, better enforcement of federal gun laws and beefed
up penalties for illegal third-party purchases and gun trafficking.
LaPierre would like to see Congress
pass a law that “updates the system
and targets those mentally incompetent adjudicated into the system” and
forces the administration to enforce
the federal gun laws.
In Colorado, a state with a pioneer
tradition of gun ownership and selfreliance, Gov. John Hickenlooper just
signed bills requiring background
checks for private and online gun sales.
The legislation also would ban ammunition magazines that hold more than
15 rounds.
“After the shootings last summer in
the movie theater, we really focused on
mental health first then universal background checks,” Hickenlooper said.

Kerry warns Iraq on Iran flights
Cyprus turns to EU for bailout
‘Protective measures’ threatened
Just days after the 10th anniversary of
the U.S. invasion of Iraq, U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry confronted Baghdad for
continuing to grant Iran access to its airspace and said Iraq’s behavior was raising
questions about its reliability as a partner.
Speaking to reporters during an unannounced trip to Baghdad, Kerry said that he
and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had
engaged in “a very spirited discussion” on the
Iranian flights, which U.S. officials believe are
ferrying weapons and fighters intended for
the embattled Syrian government.
Kerry said the plane shipments — along
with material being trucked across Iraqi
territory from Iran to Syria — were helping President Bashar Assad’s regime cling
to power by increasing their ability to strike
at Syrian rebels and opposition figures demanding Assad’s ouster.
Cypriot politicians turned to the European Union on Sunday in a last-ditch effort to
help their island nation forge a viable plan to
secure an international bailout after failing
for a week to find a solution to a crisis that
could force their country into bankruptcy.
Politicians were under pressure to come
up with a solution quickly. The European
Central Bank has threatened to stop providing emergency funding to Cyprus’ banks after today if there is no agreement on a way to
raise $7.5 billion needed to get a rescue loan
package from the International Monetary
Fund and the other European countries that
use the euro currency.
If Cyprus fails to secure a bailout, some
of its banks could collapse within days,
rapidly dragging down the government
and possibly forcing the country of about 1
million out of the eurozone.
Egypt’s president delivered a stern warning to his opponents on Sunday, saying he
may be close to taking unspecified measures to “protect this nation” two days after
supporters of his Muslim Brotherhood and
opposition protesters fought street battles
in the worst bout of political violence in
three months.
Nearly 200 people were injured — some
seriously — in Friday’s violence outside the
headquarters of the Brotherhood, Egypt’s
dominant political group.
“If I have to do what is necessary to protect this nation I will, and I am afraid that
I may be close to doing so,” a visibly angry
Morsi said in an animated speech to the
opening session of a conference on women’s rights.

— Former President Pervez
Musharraf returned home
on Sunday hoping to make
a political comeback despite
Taliban death threats and
looming arrest warrants.
Judging by the lackluster

him, his biggest challenge
could be his waning popularity.
His return comes as Pakistan is poised to transition

has experienced three coups

Pakistani politics, Musharraf

JERUSALEM — Hundreds of Christians marked
Palm Sunday in the Holy

Crowds of faithful gathered at Jerusalem’s Church

traditional site of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection.
Many waved palm fronds
to symbolize how worshippers greeted Jesus more
than 2,000 years ago as he
triumphantly returned to
Jerusalem.
Mostly Palestinian worshippers gathered in the
Nativity Church in Bethlehem, the traditional site of
Jesus’ birth, clutching olive
branches and bouquets as
they sung. The Biblical city
of Bethlehem is in the West

for their future state.

general who was chief of the
army, took power in a 1999
coup, and his military-led regime steered the country for
nearly a decade until he was
forced to step down in 2008.
Confronted with mounting
criticism and widespread
protests after he tried to dismiss a popular chief justice,
he left facing impeachment.
He later left the country
and has been living between
London and Dubai.
The former Pakistani
strongman had promised to
return to his homeland many
times before. He finally followed through, boarding
a plane in Dubai with supporters and journalists and
flying to the southern port
metropolis of Karachi, the
largest city in the nation.
Stepping out of the terminal, surrounded by police
and supporters, he portrayed
himself as a savior seeking
to return the country to the
prosperity and stability that
supporters said marked his
presidency.
“I want you to get back the
Pakistan that I had left when
we used to feel proud in ourselves,” he said.
Musharraf represents a
polarizing force that could
further complicate Pakistan’s
attempt to hold parliamentary elections on May 11. The
country passed another milestone Sunday when the election commission appointed
a caretaker prime minister to
run the government ahead
of elections, a step that is designed to promote electoral
independence.
BEIRUT — Syria’s Western-backed
opposition
plunged into disarray on
Sunday as its president
resigned and its military
leader refused to recognize
a prime minister recently
elected to lead an interim
rebel government.
The chaos inside the opposition Syrian National
Coalition threatened to undermine its bid to unite the
forces battling President
Bashar Assad and better organize the fight to oust his
regime. It also could hamper support from the U.S.
and other powers, who have
hoped the Coalition would
emerge as the most credible
body to channel aid to antiAssad groups inside Syria
and undermine the Islamic
extremists who dominate
the fight on key fronts of the
nation’s civil war.
As the opposition’s political leadership stumbled, rebel
fighters inside Syria pressed
ahead Sunday with their offensive in a restive southern
province that borders Jordan.
Also, Israel’s military said its
forces in the occupied Golan
Heights responded to fire
across the border by shooting
at a target inside Syria.
In his surprise resignation

the opposition body itself. AlKhatib, a respected preacher
who has led the Coalition
since its creation late last year,
said in a statement posted on
his Facebook page that he
was making good on a vow to
quit if certain undefined “red
lines” were crossed.
“I am keeping my promise
today and announcing my
resignation from the National
Coalition so that I can work
with freedom that is not available inside the official institutions,” he said.
He also blamed world
powers for providing what
he deemed insufficient support for the rebel cause, and
complained that many “international and regional parties”
have insisted on pushing the
opposition toward dialogue
with the regime. Most oppo-
sition leaders and activists say
Assad’s regime has killed too
many people to be part of a
solution to the conflict.
“All that has happened to
the Syrian people — from destruction of infrastructure to
the arrest of tens of thousands
to the displacement of hundreds of thousands to other
tragedies — is not enough
for an international decision
to allow the Syrian people to
defend themselves,” the statement said.
Despite electing a new,
U.S.-educated prime minister to head a planned interim
government last week, the
Coalition has failed to establish itself as the top opposition authority on the ground
in Syria, where hundreds

Priorities at issue as commissioners tackle budget
T
he Board of Commissioners did well to bail out Pitt
County’s financial ship last
year when members approved a budget that included a modest increase in the property tax rate.
For years, the board had dipped into
savings in order to balance the budget
and pay for annual expenses, and the
spending plan adopted last year all but
ended a practice that was not sustainable and would lead to insolvency.
As this year’s budget picture comes
into focus, it has become clear that
balancing the books is only half the
board’s battle. A number of long-term
investments have been delayed by the
ongoing refusal to adopt a commonsense budget and the board is now
faced with the difficult and unenviable task of determining which immediate needs can be met and which
by state law. The county must set
aside $125,000 for retirement costs
and pay $130,000 for unemployment
insurance. Beyond that, there are
four areas of need that commissioners must consider. They are $750,000

Cyprus mess matters
A
couple of years ago, the journalist Nicholas Shaxson published
a fascinating, chilling book
titled “Treasure Islands,” which
explained how international tax havens
— which are also, as the author pointed
out, “secrecy jurisdictions” where many
rules don’t apply — undermine economies
around the world. Not
only do they bleed revenues from cash-strapped
governments and enable
corruption; they distort
the flow of capital, helping to feed ever-bigger
financial crises.
One question Shaxson
PaUl
didn’t get into much,
KRUGMaN however, is what happens
when a secrecy jurisdiction itself goes bust. That’s the story of Cyprus right now. And whatever the outcome
for Cyprus itself (hint: It’s not likely to be
happy), the Cyprus mess shows just how
unreformed the world banking system
remains, almost five years after the global
financial crisis began.
You might wonder why anyone cares
about a tiny nation with an economy not
much bigger than that of metropolitan
Scranton, Pa. Cyprus is, however, a member of the eurozone, so events there could
trigger contagion (for example, bank runs)
in larger nations. And there’s something
else: While the Cypriot economy may be
tiny, it’s a surprisingly large financial player,
with a banking sector four or five times as
big as you might expect given its economy.
Why are Cypriot banks so big? Because
the country is a tax haven where corporations and wealthy foreigners stash their
money. Officially, 37 percent of the deposits in Cypriot banks come from nonresidents; the true number, once you take into
account wealthy expatriates and people
who are only nominally resident in Cyprus,
is surely much higher. Basically, Cyprus is a
place where people, especially but not only
Russians, hide their wealth from both the
taxmen and the regulators. Whatever gloss
you put on it, it’s about money-laundering.
And the truth is that much of the wealth
never moved at all; it just became invisible.
On paper, for example, Cyprus became a
huge investor in Russia — much bigger
than Germany, whose economy is hundreds of times larger. In reality, of course,
this was just “roundtripping” by Russians
using the island as a tax shelter.
My guess is that, in the end, Cyprus will
adopt something like the Icelandic solution, but unless it ends up being forced
off the euro in the next few days — a real
possibility — it may first waste a lot of time
and money on half-measures, trying to
avoid facing up to reality while running up
huge debts to wealthier nations. We’ll see.
But step back for a minute and consider
the incredible fact that tax havens like
Cyprus, the Cayman Islands and many
more are still operating pretty much the
same way that they did before the global
financial crisis. Everyone has seen the
damage that runaway bankers can inflict,
yet much of the world’s financial business
is still routed through jurisdictions that
let bankers sidestep even the mild regulations we’ve put in place. Everyone is crying
about budget deficits, yet corporations and
the wealthy are still freely using tax havens
to avoid paying taxes like the little people.
So don’t cry for Cyprus; cry for all of us,
living in a world whose leaders seem determined not to learn from disaster.

Iraq war worth not repeating
San Francisco Chronicle
It’s not an anniversary that inspires
public ceremonies or reflection, though
it should. Ten years ago, the United States
launched the Iraq war, which cost thousands of lives, hundreds of billions of dollars and squandered this nation’s worldwide leadership.
American troops left a year ago, but the
war lingers. Wounded veterans need help.
Military spending deepened a national
debt that totals $15 trillion. Iraq remains a
fragile, violent place. The terrorist scourge,
nominally the cause of the war, endures.
A Gallup poll out this week found that
barely half the nation, some 53 percent,
think the war was a mistake, down from 63
percent five years ago. No one likes to dwell
on the bad memories, it seems.
Recalling the reasons for the war should
remind Americans how unfounded the
cause was. There was no Iraqi connection
to al-Qaida as President George W. Bush’s
team suggested. Nor were there weapons
of mass destruction as intelligence experts
predicted. Finally, the Middle East didn’t
embrace democracy after the U.S. invasion
toppled Saddam Hussein. The Arab Spring
uprisings, which came years later, didn’t
feature posters or chants praising American troops sweeping into Baghdad.
If anything, the Iraq war produced yet
another cautionary tale on the limits of
military power.

McCrory’s budget proposal not exactly a progressive vehicle forward
O
ne of the most telling reactions to the state budget
proposal released by Gov.
Pat McCrory Wednesday
came from Senate President Pro Tem Phil
Berger who was not happy that McCrory’s
plan would slightly increase state spending.
Berger told the News & Observer that
he believes less is better than more. Teachers who have been fired, laid off workers
who are losing unemployment benefits
and parents of at-risk kids locked out of
pre-K programs in the last two years are
well aware of Berger’s penchant for less.
It’s true that McCrory did not propose
the radical tea party slash-and-burn
budget that Berger apparently would have
preferred and that many in Raleigh feared
he would come up with when he appointed Art Pope as state budget director.
That prompted another interesting reaction to his budget plan, a round of cautious and tentative praise from a range of
advocates who were bracing for the worst
and were understandably
relieved that McCrory
did not recommend another round of devastating cuts to education and
human services.
But when you read the
details, McCrory’s budget
is not a plan to move
chRis
fiTzsiMoN North Carolina forward.
It just seems that way
because the budgets of the last two years
have been so draconian.
Yes, McCrory spends slightly more
than last year but as the N.C. Budget &
Tax Center points out, he doesn’t spend
enough to keep state services at their
current and woefully inadequate levels
when you consider increased school
enrollments and inflationary increases. It’s
not a step forward at all, it’s a small step
backwards.
Like almost any budget, there are specific things to like and dislike in McCrory’s plan. He adds 1,800 teachers, an
admission that the teacher cuts in the last
two years were misguided, but he pays for
them by firing 3,000 teaching assistants in
the 2nd and 3rd grades.
He gives teachers and state employees
a 1 percent pay raise but ominously puts
$7.5 million in a reserve for severance pay
for future state employee layoffs.
He fully funds the state Medicaid
program but this comes after signing a
bill denying Medicaid expansion under
the Affordable Care Act that would have
provided health care for 500,000 low-income adults with the federal government
picking up most of the cost.
McCrory also wants to end public
financing of judicial elections and slash
funding for rural and community economic development efforts. Both programs have also long been on the rightwing hit list.
The budget plan would transfer much
of the legal staff out of Democratic Attorney General Roy Cooper’s office while
restoring staff to Republican Lt. Gov. Dan
Forest.
McCrory does deserve credit for
proposing $10 million for victims of the
state eugenics program, funding that
Berger and the Senate refused to support
last year. And he includes money to allow
5,000 more at-risk kids to enroll in pre-K,
though that still doesn’t restore the cuts
that the General Assembly has made to
the program in the last two years.
In a sane political environment,
McCrory’s spending plan would be a floor
that lawmakers would build on with increased investments in education, human
services, environmental protections and
community economic development.
But these are not normal political
times in North Carolina. The reactions to
McCrory’s meager and inadequate budget
are ample evidence of that.

wait to be tested. This way, we can
test six people at one time.”
The BATmobile significantly reduces the amount of time an officer
takes with an alcohol-related case
because a probable cause hearing
in front of the magistrate occurs
immediately after a positive reading, according to Greenville police
Cpl. Michael Montanye.
An officer’s time is wasted when
a person blows a .10 or a .09, for
example, and their blood alcohol
content decreases by the time they
arrive at the jail, Morgart said.
“Their alcohol level drops, andwhen they get to the jail and end
up getting tested, they might be
a .07 or .06, and most of the time
they’ve found no probable cause,”
he said.
At the checking station with
the BATmobile, everything is
“wrapped up in one location,”
Pitt County Magistrate Herbert
Causey said. Court proceedings
against the accused begins in front
of the magistrate.
“On any night, we’re the lowest rung of the judicial system.
We see the people at their very
worst when they’re first charged,
accused of a crime,” he said. “We
determine probable cause. We
make the decision as to if the person gets bond, if they have to be
held until they can either sober
up or be released to a sober adult,
someone who can be responsible
for them until they’re no longer
impaired.”
Driving while impaired checkpoints are effective, Causey said.
“It’s a deterrent,” he said. “You
come up and see all the officers
out there and the traffic is backing
up. If I was a person that drank, I
would definitely think twice.”

urday and early Sunday saw 28
officers from Greenville, Bethel
and ECU police departments, as
well as law officials from the State
Highway Patrol and Pitt County
Sheriff ’s Office and one Citizens
on Patrol volunteer.
It was the first checkpoint for Officer J. Neekins, who has been with
ECU police for about a year. The
officer checked cars coming and
going from a dorm parking lot.
“Any time I can take an intoxicated driver off the street, I’m
creating a chance to save my life,
your life and their life,” he said.
ECU freshman Roderic Davis
said at the checkpoint on Saturday that the effort would be more
effective if held downtown, where
more people are drinking.
“I can see how it serves the college campus, but not in a parking
lot,” he said. “It’s not helping people here because by now they’re
almost home.”
The location was selected for
the likelihood of detecting impaired drivers, traffic conditions,
number of vehicles expected to
be stopped, and the convenience
and safety of the motoring public,
Montanye said.
Montanye, supervisor of the department’s Traffic Safety Unit, has
coordinated traffic checkpoints for
five years and said the main goal is
to make Greenville roads safer.
The team was looking mostly
for alcohol violations, he said, but
individual officers used their discretion regarding other citations
or arrests.
The weekend effort resulted in
55 citations and arrests for DWI,
driving with license revoked, no
operator’s license and other traffic
violations, Montanye said. Drug
arrests also came out of the checkpoint, and more than 28 grams of
marijuana and other drug paraphernalia were seized.
The number of DWI arrests
vary from checkpoint to checkpoint, depending on location and
timeframe, Causey said.
During a Halloween checkpoint, he and another magistrate
processed 104 people, the magistrate said.
“That’s not including the ones
that were just issued citations,” he
said. “These were the ones that
were actually cuffed and stuffed.
“Most of them are meek and
mild, but some let the alcohol
do the talking,” Causey said. “If
they’re belligerent, I’m not going to take the chance to release
them to someone. Chances are, if
they’re not going to listen to me,
they’re not going to listen to anyone else.”
When accused impaired drivers
are released to a sober adult, that
person is held responsible in the
event any other incidents occur, he
said. The sober adult has the right

to refuse custody.
Austin Riggs, another ECU
freshman, said he believes the
checkpoints are a good idea.
“It keeps people from doing stupid stuff,” he said.
“Law enforcement relies on the
public’s perception that, if they
break the law, they will be caught,”
Scott Lascallette, a Greenville police motorcycle officer, said. “This
plants that seed. We won’t catch
everyone, but that pause (before
someone decides to drive after
drinking) may save a life.”

Palestinians cool to partial settlement freeze
By MoHAMMeD
DArAGHMeH
the Associated Press
RAMALLAH, West Bank
— A senior Palestinian official on Sunday rejected
the idea of a partial Israeli
settlement freeze as a way of
restarting peace talks, a sign
of tough times ahead for
the Obama administration’s
new attempt to bring the
sides together.
U.S. Secretary of State
John Kerry met separately
late Saturday with Palestinian President Mahmoud
Abbas and Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to talk about ending a
deadlock of more than four
years over settlements.
Abbas said he won’t return to negotiations without an Israeli construction
freeze, arguing that Israel’s
building on war-won land
pre-empts the outcome of
talks on a border between
Israel and a future state of
Palestine. Abbas last held

Bradford
Creek’s lifespan, the course,
despite having an operational
surplus some years, has needed $900,000 from the city to
pay off debt. The course’s future could include more expenses, reports suggest.
After spending the winter
conducting a comprehensive
review of the course, James
Keegan, the managing principal of Golf Convergence, said
that Bradford Creek would
require about $1.5 million in
capital investment for the next
five years to remain viable in a
market where courses exceed
the demand for golfers at a ratio of 2:1.
Among the alternatives
talks with Netanyahu’s predecessor in late 2008.
Netanyahu has refused
to halt construction and
instead calls for an immediate return to negotiations.
President Barack Obama
sided with Israel’s position
during a visit to the region
last week, saying the Palestinians should return to
talks to sort out the settlement issue.
The United States has not
spoken publicly about possible compromises in recent
days, though there has been
some speculation it would
propose a partial construction stop in the West Bank
heartland, east of Israel’s
separation barrier.

Saeb Erekat said Sunday
that the Palestinians do not
seek a confrontation with
the Obama administration,
but appeared to suggest that
nothing short of a full freeze
will bring them back to negotiations.

state in the West Bank, Gaza
and east Jerusalem, areas Israel captured in 1967. Since
that war, Israel has built
dozens of settlements —
considered illegal by much
of the world and now home
to more than half a million
Israelis — in the West Bank
and east Jerusalem.
Much of the construction takes place in so-called
“settlement blocs” close to
Israel and in east Jerusalem. Israel’s separation barrier cuts off east Jerusalem
and some of the settlement
blocs from the rest of the
West Bank.
Asked if Abbas would accept a partial freeze, east of
the barrier, Erekat told Voice
of Palestine radio: “Absolutely not. It is rejected.”
“First of all, 90 percent of
the building in settlements
is going on in the blocs,” he
said. “If we accepted that, we
would be committing two
crimes. The first is legalizing what is illegal, which
is settlement construction,
and the second is accepting
the Israeli policy (of) dictation.”
Israel agreed to a 10month slowdown in settlement construction early in
Obama’s first term, allowing talks to resume briefly
in 2010. The talks fizzled
out after Netanyahu refused
to extend the slowdown,
which halted new housing
starts but allowed previously started construction
to continue.
Israeli Justice Minister
Tzipi Livni, who will oversee any negotiations with
the Palestinians, said it remained to be seen what
would bring about a new
round of talks.
“We are after four years
of stalemate, of distrust, and
we need to see how we restart, what we will discuss,”
she told Army Radio.

Little progress on jobs for disabled Americans
By JENNIFER C. KERR
WASHINGTON — Whether it
means opening school track meets
to a deaf child or developing a new
lunch menu with safe alternatives
for students with food allergies,
recent Obama administration decisions could significantly affect
Americans with disabilities. But
there’s been little progress in one
of the most stubborn challenges:
employing the disabled.
According to government labor
data, of the 29 million workingage Americans with a disability —
those who are 16 years and older
— 5.2 million are employed. That’s
18 percent of the disabled population and is down from 20 percent
four years ago. The employment
rate for people without a disability
was 63 percent in February.
better recruitment, especially at
colleges and universities. And
last month, OPM issued rules to
limit the paperwork that potential
hires with disabilities would need
to provide. They essentially “self
identify” as disabled by qualifying for a special hiring category
known as “Schedule A” that allows
disabled people to apply for a job
through a noncompetitive hiring
process, meaning they could be
hired without competing with the
general public.

shows nearly 15 percent of new federal hires between 2010 and 2011
were people with disabilities — almost 19,000 people. That’s up from
the previous year when about 10
percent of new hires were people
with disabilities.
President Barack Obama signed
an executive order in 2010 aimed
at improving the federal ranks of
people with disabilities. The goal
was to add 100,000 disabled people
to federal payrolls in five years; that
would be within reach if the 20102011 hiring numbers were to stick
or improve.
Since the rule was proposed
more than a year ago, business
groups have complained that it
would be too burdensome and lead
to conflicts with federal laws that
discourage companies from asking
job applicants to identify themselves
as disabled.
“We have had a long history of
supporting the disabled community,” said Randel Johnson, vice
president at the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce for labor issues. “But
this proposal goes too far, woefully
underestimates cost of compliance,
and is completely unworkable as
structured in the proposal.”
Jennifer Lortie, 29, of Griswold,
Conn., considers herself one of the
lucky employed Americans with a
disability.
Lortie was born with cerebral palsy and has limited use of her arms
and legs. She graduated college during the recession and it was no easy
task finding a job.
Better recruitment
She spent more than a year scourFederal agencies are trying to ing newspapers, job search websites
achieve the numbers through and sending out dozens of resumes.
She worried her wheelchair might
be a strike against her until she
landed a position in 2009 as an assistive technology specialist with the
Connecticut Tech Act Project. The
federally-funded program aims to
increase independence for people
with disabilities by educating them
on new and best-fit technologies for
work, school and community living.
“I think helping people kind of
makes me think maybe there’s a reason that I am in a wheelchair,” Lortie
said in an interview. “There has to be
some reason to all this, so it gives me
a sense of purpose as far as ‘OK, I’m
in a wheelchair but I can help other
people’ instead of just sitting home
feeling sorry for myself.”
Lortie spends four hours each day
commuting to work and then back
to the home she shares with her parents. They drive her to the bus stop
and then she takes two buses to get
to work — two hours each morning
and two hours at the end of the day
to get home. And she doesn’t mind a
bit. “I like to help people,” she said.
Cost concerns
Jill Houghton works with companies to expand employment for
people with disabilities. Among the
big barriers, she said, are concerns
about cost. Companies worry about
whether they will have to make special accommodations or additional
training.
“The reality is that businesses
have found that when they create
inclusive workplaces, where people
with disabilities are working side
by side with people without disabilities ... the bottom line is that
it doesn’t increase costs,” said
Houghton, who heads the U.S.
Business Leadership Network, a
trade association that represents
about 5,000 businesses.

Local activists gather to mark ‘Bloody Sunday’
By Kristin Zachary
The Daily Reflector
The
Selma-to-Montgomery
marches 48 years ago in Alabama
for voting rights were commemorated Sunday at the Pitt County
Courthouse, where local rights
leaders gathered to denounce racism and discrimination.
On March 7, 1965, about 600
civil rights marchers began a
54-mile trek from Selma, Ala.,
to Montgomery in what is now
known as Bloody Sunday.
The people were demonstrating
for black voting rights and protesting the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson, 26, who was shot about three
weeks earlier by a state trooper as
he attempted to protect his mother at a civil rights event, according
to Ed Carter, a former Greenville
mayor.
“On the outskirts of Selma, after
they crossed the Edmund Pettus
Bridge, the marchers, in plain sight
of photographers and journalists,
were brutally assaulted by heavily
armed Alabama state troopers and
deputies,” he said.
Carter was one of about 25
CARTER
COUNCIL
community members who gathered Sunday afternoon at the Pitt
County NAACP event held inside
the courthouse to reflect on the
marches and sacrifices made for
blacks’ right to vote.
“Too much has been sacrificed
for the right we have to vote,” Reginald Barrett, the NAACP’s first
vice president, said. “We come in
solidarity, and we come in unity
today to tell somebody that we’re
not going to let anyone turn us
around, we’re not going to let anyone turn the clocks back and put
us in a time when they don’t respect our polls.
“We’re here to commemorate
Bloody Sunday for those people
who were courageous enough to
march across the Edmund Pettus
Bridge to stand up and say that we
need that right,” he said. “And we
come back 48 years later to say to
respect our right and protect our
right to vote.”
Pitt County school board member Mildred Council said she was
a sophomore in high school in
1965 and remembers praying with
her mother about the incident.
She since has had the opportunity
to go on a civil rights tour across
the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

on Saturday for the first time in

Dad golfed. He enjoyed the
sport and the good life that
went with it. He had no use for

I played with toy guns and air

hand.
I regret this a little when I am
with people who like to hunt
and shoot. They are in the game,
and I am on the sidelines.
The playing field opened up
this month when I took my

org.
More than 100 boys and girls
came out on March 16, most
with a parent in tow. It was the
12th spring youth day, and the
club has had nine in the fall with
another coming up.
Forty-five volunteers, most of
them club members, welcomed
and guided the guests, manned
the stations, carried ammunition
and gave out prizes.
Safe and proper handling of
the weapons was paramount as
instructors worked with shooters to hit paper targets, metal
plates and cans, foam targets
shaped like animals and clay
pigeons on the trap-shooting
range.
Access to the firing areas
was strictly controlled, and all
the kids were given ear and eye
protection in addition to professional instruction and kind
encouragement.
The youngsters fired more
than 2,000 rounds by day’s end.
The youth day is among many
ways the club’s 300 members
work with the public. Tavasso
said anyone who wants to learn
more can talk to a member or
visit the club’s website.
I enjoyed the youth event
because it allowed me to connect
my children to something that
certainly is in their blood, if not
mine.
My father-in-law is a gunowner and hunter who spends
as much time in the woods as
my dad spent on the golf course.
He was happy to see how well
his granddaughters shot when I
sent him pictures.
I have written about guns
once before, and I still think
the world is better off with me
being unarmed. But spending
an afternoon at the wildlife club
made me feel really good about
some people in Pitt County who
are armed and reminded that
shooting is a lot of fun.

Carter said efforts are under way to

“This would drastically reduce any

Discriminatory laws, ordinances,
intimidation, violence and fear have

TRIBUTE
Continued from B
to honor the Tuscarora people for the 300th anniversary with a Tuscarora Heritage
Day commemoration. The
event featured a special exhibit at the Greene County
Museum followed by the
dedication of the monument and a “walk home,”
where the Tuscarora nation walked into Snow Hill,
returning home after 300

years in exile.
Members of the Tuscarora nation also blessed the
monument site with ceremonial songs and the watering of a tree.
Dreamweaver of the Tuscarora nation scattered tobacco seeds that belonged
to his ancestors along the
monument’s perimeter. The
plant is the Tuscarora’s most
sacred and most medicinal
plant, and the seeds will
bring peace to the site, he
said.
“Our ancestors predicted
that within seven generations we would have a resurrection of our nation,”
Dreamweaver said. “We
see this as our resurrection.
A new world is beginning
now. We see people becoming more spiritual.”
The monument was
dedicated by East Carolina
University Provost Marylin Shearer and history
professor Larry Tise, along
with Mewborn and Sharon
Ginn, director of the Greene
County Museum.
Mewborn awarded Ginn
a symbolic deed, granting
the museum stewardship of
the monument.
“Since the birth of the
Greene County Museum 10
years ago, one of our goals
has been to somehow honor
the heritage of the Tuscarora people,” Ginn said. “We
begin that today. Welcome
home.”
Dan Richter, a professor
at the University of Pennsylvania and renowned author
specializing in the culture of
Native American peoples,
attended the dedication
ceremony. He described the

“I guess that’s what we call a slime dunk!”
Duhamel said.
Sandra Bullock and Neil Patrick Harris caught a wave of the green stuff after
a magic trick from the “How I Met Your
Mother” co-star went awry.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who
picked up the trophy for male butt-kicker,
blasted a sumo-suited Nick Cannon and
Duhamel with the goo.
Duhamel said a record-breaking 350
million votes had been cast for this year’s
viewer-voted ceremony, which honors kids’
favorites in film, music, sports and TV.

NEW YORK (AP) — The next book

lifted from online sources and not properly credited.
Hachette Book Group

2. Goodall said in a statement that she agreed to

LOS ANGELES — The caveman
comedy “The Croods” left an indelible mark on the wall, opening at
No. 1 with $44.7 million, according
to Sunday studio estimates.

with $30.5 million was “Olympus
Has Fallen,” an action thriller from
“Training Day” director Antoine
Fuqua in which North Korean terrorists take over the White House.
Gerard Butler, as a secret service
agent, leads an all-star cast that includes Aaron Eckhart as the president and Morgan Freeman.

in a while that’s gotten an A-minus
CinemaScore, so it’s obvious that
people are talking about it and enjoying it.”
This one-two punch of “Croods”
and “Olympus” — two movies that
appealed to two very different audiences — was much-needed at the
box office, which is down 13 percent from the same period last year,
said Paul Dergarabedian, box office
analyst for Hollywood.com.
“I was really surprised by ‘Olympus.’ This year, the R-rated action
films have all fallen flat,” Dergarabedian said, including “The Last
Stand” and “Parker.” “The marketing was good. Gerard Butler — he’s
the real deal, he looks the part and
everything. And the theme of the
movie, the fact that the president
is under siege — it worked on ‘Air
Force One.’ There’s something
about that theme that works for audiences.”

movie from DreamWorks Animation, is a great start to the spring
holiday,” Aronson said.
“Olympus Has Fallen” also opened
higher than expectations — much
higher — given that FilmDistrict
figured it would end up somewhere
in the under-$20 million range, said
president of distribution Jim Orr.
This is by far the biggest debut for
the independent distributor, which
was founded in September 2010;
the previous best was the $14.3 million the “Red Dawn” remake made
during last year’s Thanksgiving
weekend.
“Millennium Films and Antoine
Fuqua delivered a brilliant, actionpacked, serious thriller with an allstar cast led by Gerard Butler, and
the word of mouth seems to be terrific,” said Orr. “It not only exceeded
all our pre-weekend estimates, as
the weekend has gone on, it’s gotten
better. This is the first action thriller
“The Croods” now has made $108
million worldwide, also opening
this weekend in Russia, the United
Kingdom, Germany and Spain. In
the United States, it’s the only game
in town as far as animated films for
the whole family, and it will continue to be so as kids head out of
school for spring break during the
next couple of weeks.
“It’s a terrific crowd-pleaser, it got
an A CinemaScore and an A-plus
with audiences under 18, which
leads me to believe a lot of kids
loved the movie,” Anne Globe, chief
marketing officer for DreamWorks
Animation, said.
Chris Aronson, president of domestic distribution for 20th Century Fox, said “The Croods” had a
stronger opening than the $40 million the studio had projected.
“To come in at the $45 million
mark, ahead of ‘How to Train Your
Dragon,’ which was another terrific

diligently with my team to address all areas
of concern,” said Goodall, who has written
or co-written more than 20 books.
Hachette said excerpts that appeared
this month in Smithsonian magazine did
not contain questionable material.
Goodall, 78, co-authored “Seeds of
Hope” with Gail Hudson, who has written
for Nature, Good Housekeeping and other
publications. The book is being billed as
a study of “the critical role that trees and
plants play in our world.”
Earlier this month, a Washington Post
freelance reviewer alerted the paper to numerous similarities between material in
“Seeds of Hope” and passages on Wikipedia and on websites for organic tea and the
history of tobacco.

ECU blows late lead as UH completes sweep

HOUSTON — Jacob Campbell’s sacrifice fly to left field
scored Justin Montemayor in
the bottom of the 10th inning
to lead Houston to a 5-4 win
over East Carolina on Sunday at
Cougar Field.
Trailing 4-3 in the bottom of

NBA
Heat streak up to 26 straight
MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James and
company put on quite a show for some
of the biggest names in sports on Sunday
night.
James finished with 32 points, 10 assists
and eight rebounds, Chris Bosh added
15 points and the Miami Heat won their
26th straight game, cruising to a 109-77
victory over the Charlotte Bobcats.
The world’s best were courtside in
Miami. Novak Djokovic, the top-ranked
men’s tennis player. Wladimir Klitschko,
the world heavyweight boxing king. Rory
McIlroy, who sits atop the golf rankings
for at least one more night.
And James responded with another
sterling performance, making 11 of 14
shots while helping Miami move within
seven wins of matching the 1971-72 Los
Angeles Lakers for the league record of 33
in a row.
Norris Cole scored 15 and Ray Allen
added 14 for the Heat, who played without Dwyane Wade, held from the lineup
because of right knee soreness.
After overcoming yet another slow
start, Miami begins a four-game road trip
in Orlando today, a swing that will also
take the Heat to Chicago, New Orleans
and San Antonio.
Charlotte led by 11 in the early going
and was within five in the third quarter,
but two huge spurts by the Heat were
more than enough to put the game away.

‘The little things’
Pirates get in work on their own prior to start of spring practice
By NathaN SummerS
The Daily Reflector
As he was making his way to
Minges Coliseum for an East Carolina men’s basketball game last week,
a parking guard stopped ECU head
football coach Ruffin McNeill to ask
him a question.
“The guard said, ‘Did you all have
spring practice today?’” McNeill recalled. “I said, ‘No, we don’t start
until Monday, sir.’ He said, ‘Well, I
saw the team out there practicing.’”
It wasn’t a mirage. It was a disciplined, experienced team trying to
make sure it was ready to make the
most of every minute of spring football which, as McNeill said, begins
today.
McNeill’s team is only a few
months removed from its seasonending loss to Louisiana-Lafayette
in the New Orleans Bowl, and is already set to dive headlong into the
2013 season with today’s 3:30 p.m.
opening practice.
“They’re doing the little things,”
McNeill said late last week of his
players’ final days before spring
drills. “On Saturdays, you’ll see
(quarterback) Shane (Carden) and
a group of guys — receivers, running backs and offensive line — on
their own, going through plays.
“Those are the intangibles that
you can’t put a price on.”
The Pirates are set to return the
second-most starters in the nation, an obvious luxury, and they’ll
undoubtedly be inspired to avenge

Kansas continues dominance of Tar Heels
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Topseeded Kansas was on the ropes,
turning the ball over about as
often as it was putting up shots,
and had allowed North Carolina to build a comfortable lead
by halftime.
Bill Self followed his team into
the locker room and, undoubtedly, delivered quite a message,
even though his answer dripped
with sarcasm when he was asked
later to describe it.
“I told them, ‘Hey, just keep
doing what we’re doing, we’ll be
fine,’” Self said with a grin.
The Jayhawks were fine indeed, but only because they
flipped the script.
They played better on defense, protected the ball on offense — making shots didn’t
hurt either — and behind the
impassioned play of Travis Releford and Jeff Withey, pulled
away from the eighth-seeded
Tar Heels for a 70-58 victory
Much to the chagrin of former Kansas coach Roy Williams, whose Tar Heels were
knocked out of the tournament
by Kansas during its 2008 title
run and again last year, when
the Jayhawks advanced all the
way to the Final Four.
“It was definitely a nightmare
in the second half,” Williams
said. “No question about it.”
Withey scored 16 points
and grabbed 16 rebounds and
Releford added 22 points. Together, the two senior starters
helped the Jayhawks (31-5) outscore the Tar Heels 49-28 after
halftime, pushing the Big 12
champs into a South Regional
semifinal against fourth-seeded
Michigan on Friday night in
The AssociATed Press Arlington, Texas.

Thunderstorm stops Tiger’s march at Bay Hill
By DOUG FERGUSON
ORLANDO, Fla. — Tiger
Woods is going to have to
wait one more day to try to
reclaim No. 1 in the world.
Moments after Woods
made a 10-foot birdie putt
on the second hole, a vicious
thunderstorm packing gusts
that topped out at 62 mph
interrupted the final round
of the Arnold Palmer Invitational and wiped out play
until today.
The storm dumped nearly 1½ inches on Bay Hill
and formed small ponds in
the fairways — there was
even a fish in the middle of
the 18th fairway. The wind
toppled the TV tower behind the 10th green, which
was a pile of metal poles,
wood, mesh netting and

ment.
McNeill is mindful, however, that his team can’t win
any games this spring.
“I want those expectations and goals and visions,”
he said. “There are a lot of
practices left before we play
a game, a lot of conditioning
left before we play a game,
but the process is the key
thing with this team. I think
they’ve got a good grasp on
it.”
had a stationary camera in
the middle of it all.
About an hour after a tornado warning expired, officials said they would need
time to clean up the course
and let it drain. The final
round was to resume at 10
a.m. this morning.
Woods is going after his
eighth win at Bay Hill, which
would return him to No. 1
in the world ranking for the
first time since the last week
of October in 2010.
He hit all of six shots on
Sunday, enough to build a
three-shot lead over Rickie
Fowler, Keegan Bradley,
John Huh and Ken Duke.
“At least we got a little
activity in today, so we’re
not completely stagnant,”
Woods said before leaving.
“We’ve dealt with this before.”
Eye-openers
As always, some players
have embraced the offseason as a time to make their
greatest strides.
McNeill said one such
player is senior receiver Justin Jones, whom McNeill
said was a shining star with
ECU strength coach Jeff
Connors the past couple of
months.
“When coach Connors
offers (praise), that’s a high
compliment,” McNeill said,
noting that Jones is up to
277 pounds, is benching
SpEctatORS mOvE past a toppled scoreboard behind the
first tee as a severe thunderstorm hits the Arnold Palmer
invitational golf tournament in orlando, Fla., on sunday.
There was plenty of action on a short day, none
more bizarre than Sergio
Garcia.
The Spaniard’s tee shot
on the 10th hole somehow
came to rest about 15 feet
up in an oak tree, sitting be-
tween two large branches.
Garcia used a cart to jump
into the tree, and after a few
minutes, hit a one-handed,
back-handed shot back to
the fairway, before jumping some 8 feet back to the
ground.
400-plus pounds, turned in
a 37-inch vertical leap and
was clocked around 4.78 in
the 40-yard dash. “There are
a lot guys in that same category, too.”
Some of those other guys
who made remarkable gains
include defensive ends Jonathon White and Lee Pegues,
defensive back Domonique
Lennon, linebacker Maurice
Falls, offensive linemen C.J.
Struyk and Adhem Elsawi
and wide receivers Reese
Wiggins and walk-on John
Worthy, who turned in the
team’s third-highest all-time
vertical leap.
Subtractions
The most significant
piece missing from the ECU
offense this spring will be
senior 1,000-yard rusher
Vintavious Cooper, who
is suspended indefinitely
after a recent on-campus
marijuana citation. McNeill
confirmed that Cooper will
sit out all spring football activities.
Further opening the door
in the ECU backfield is the
departure of Hunter Furr,
William McGirt was
playing his shot from the
fairway bunker on the other
side and had no idea what
Garcia was doing.
“I knew they were looking
around the tree,” he said. “I
didn’t know they were looking in the tree. I looked over
and Sergio is up in the air,
and I’m trying to figure out
what in the hell he’s going to
go. He called for a club. He’s
hugging the tree. And the
ball comes flying out.
“Are you kidding me?”
Two holes later, the horn
sounded. McGirt said Garcia handed him the scorecard and said, “I’m out of
here.” Garcia earlier had
taken a 9 on the par-5 sixth
hole.
Billy Horschel hit three tee
shots into the water on the
sixth hole and made an 11.
Attribute that to the wind,
which was gusting hard
when the leaders teed off.
Mark Russell, the tour’s
vice president of competition, said officials discussed
whether to play early Sunday
from two tees to try to beat
the storms. He said NBC
Sports was involved in the
discussions — Woods going
for the win, with Fowler at
his side is sure to boost ratings — and they rolled the
dice.
“If we played early, it was
going to be a tape-delay
situation. People were going
to know who won before
it came on television, so it
defeats our television partners,” he said. “They wanted
to take a chance. They’ve
been involved in several
situations where we played
early and it didn’t rain.”
who will remain a member
of the ECU track team, as
will former Pirate rusher,
receiver and defensive back
Torrance Hunt. Also, senior Michael Dobson has
switched to defensive back
after spending his entire career as a tailback.
The Pirates will also be
without a handful of mainstay defensive starters for
all or part of spring due to
injuries and offseason surgeries. Senior safety Damon Magazu (back) and
senior defensive ends Justin
Dixon (knee) and Matt Mil-
ner (hip) are all out for the
entire spring. Junior inside
linebacker Jeremy Grove
(shoulder) could be back
by late spring, while nose
tackle Terrell Stanley (knee)
could be back by the second
week of drills.
Out on the offensive side
are a couple of former walkons in inside receiver Chris
Cacciola (shoulder) and
running back Jamal Tillman
(knee).

Howland out as UCLA’s coach
Duke women pull away for win
Ruffin-Pratt leads UNC women
UCLA has fired Ben Howland as
basketball coach after 10 seasons that
included three Final Four appearances, but
culminated with another early-round exit
from the NCAA tournament.
Athletic director Dan Guerrero told
Howland on Sunday he was out, and the
university announced it in the evening.
Howland had a 233-107 record in
Westwood, including three consecutive
Final Four appearances from 2006-08 and
four Pac-12 championships, including
this season. The Bruins’ season ended last
Friday with an 83-63 loss to Minnesota in
the NCAA tournament.
In a statement, Howland said he’s been
blessed to coach at UCLA and that he
looks forward to what comes next.
He has two years left on his contract
that includes a $2.3 million buyout.
Tricia Liston scored 13 of her 20 points

10 rebounds for the second-seeded Blue
Devils (31-2).
They watched Hampton trim their 19point lead to six before recovering with a
23-8 run that gave them their 20th straight
NCAA tournament-opening victory.
Keiara Avant had 18 points to lead 15thseeded Hampton (28-6), and her jumper
with just over 10 minutes left capped a
furious 27-14 rally that pulled the Pirates
to 46-40.
But Duke locked down defensively,
forcing Hampton to miss 12 of its next 15
shots.
Tierra Ruffin-Pratt scored a career-high
30 points, and third-seed North Carolina squeezed past Albany 59-54 Sunday
to stagger into the second round of the
NCAA tournament.
North Carolina trailed 28-23 at halftime
and 48-44 with just under 10 minutes left
before rallying behind Ruffin-Pratt, who
scored 17 of the Tar Heels’ final 21 points
— including two clinching free throws
with 10.8 seconds left.
Waltiea Rolle had 14 points and 14 rebounds for North Carolina (29-6), which
will next face sixth-seeded Delaware (313) on Tuesday night. Delaware advanced
with a 66-53 win over West Virginia.
Megan Craig scored 12 points, and Ebone Henry and Lindsey Lowrie each had
11 for Albany (27-4).

Busch avoids wreck in thrilling Fontana finish
week, so that’s what he gets,”
Logano said.
Yet the 22-year-old Logano might have even bigger
worries than his burgeoning
feud with Hamlin, whose
team expects him to be fine.
Stewart got into a post-race
shoving match with Logano,
with the three-time champion threatening to “whoop
his (butt)” after Logano aggressively blocked Stewart
out of a late restart.
“It’s time he learns a lesson,” Stewart said. “He’s run
his mouth long enough. ...
He’s nothing but a little rich
kid that’s never had to work
in his life, so he’s going to
learn what us working guys
who had to work our way up
(know about) how it works.”
Almost forgotten in the
post-race frenzy was Busch,
who led 125 of 200 laps in
his Toyota and earned his
first victory of the season
when he sped past Hamlin and Logano on the final
turn. Dale Earnhardt Jr. also
ceded the spotlight, even
though NASCAR’s most
popular driver moved into
the Sprint Cup Series points
lead with his second-place
finish.
Even without Busch and
Junior, NASCAR’s closest
race to Hollywood had an
abundance of drama.
“I’m tired of these guys
doing that stuff, especially
out of a kid that’s been griping about everybody else,
and then he does that the
next week,” Stewart said,
referring to Logano’s complaints about other drivers’
similar moves. “He sent
Denny to the hospital and
screwed our day up. He’s
talked the talk, but he hasn’t
walked the walk yet.”
After a fairly entertaining
race highlighted by Logano’s
aggressive move to block
Stewart out of the final restart, the last lap developed
into a spectacle pitting rivals
already angry at each other
about driving tactics.
Hamlin spun Logano at
Bristol while Logano was
racing for the late lead on
that tight Tennessee bullring. Hamlin claimed Logano had cut him off three
times earlier in the race, but
Logano ran over to Hamlin’s
car afterward and leaned
in his window for an angry
exchange before the teams
pulled them apart.

FONTANA, Calif. —
Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano raced side by side into
the final lap, two bitter rivals
unwilling to give even an
inch — right up until they
made contact with less than
a mile to go.
The race ended with
Hamlin in the hospital, Logano in a shoving match
with Tony Stewart, and Kyle
Busch celebrating a victory
that seemed secondary to all
the fury at Fontana.
Hamlin was airlifted away
from the track Sunday after a
collision with Logano on the
penultimate turn sent him
nearly head-on into the inside wall, putting a spectacular finish on the fifth race of
the NASCAR season.
Logano managed to finish third despite wrecking
into the outside wall after
hitting Hamlin, who spun
Logano last week at Bristol
and sparked a bitter postrace confrontation that
didn’t cool off during the
past week.

la Salle 76, MiSSiSSippi 74
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tyrone Garland banked home
a scooping layup with 2 seconds left and 13th-seeded La
Salle beat Mississippi 76-74
on Sunday, vaulting the Explorers to their deepest run in
the NCAA tournament since
they played for the championship in 1955.
In the round of 16 in Los
Angeles on Friday, the Explorers will meet ninth-seeded
Wichita State.
Ramon Galloway had 24

which was playing its third
game in five days. No. 12 Ole
Miss (27-9) led 74-72 with
1:58 left but failed to reach

first time since 2001.
After Tyreek Duren’s two
foul shots tied it 74-all at the
1:07 mark, Marshall Henderson failed to hit an off-balance
bank shot that would have given Mississippi the lead.
Henderson had 21 points in
game with 11 lead changes.
Duren had 19 points for La
Salle and Garland had 17.
Murphy Holloway had 14
points for Mississippi, which
fell one win shy of breaking
the school record. Jarvis Summers had 12 and Nick Williams had 10 for the Rebels,
who were a miserable 10 for

MiaMi 63, illinoiS 59
AUSTIN, Texas — Shane
Larkin hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with a minute left and Miami kept possession on a ball
knocked out of bounds that
probably should have gone
to Illinois, helping the Hurricanes hold on for a 63-59 victory Sunday night to advance
to the NCAA round of 16.
After Larkin’s first field goal
in about 9 1/2 minutes, D.J.
he hoped the beef with Logano was finished, but Logano said he hadn’t received
any apology and wasn’t feeling particularly forgiving.
They ended up racing
together again in the opening laps at Fontana, with
Logano practically grazing
Hamlin’s bumper early on.
Their final-lap theatrics on
Fontana’s wide two-mile
track appeared to be motivated by fierce racing for a
win, not revenge.
They were side-by-side
heading into the final lap
and largely stayed that way
until Turn 3, where Logano
began to work up the track.
The cars made contact and
eventually lost control, with
Logano hitting the wall
while Hamlin slid inside
and made heavy contact
with the wall.
Hamlin got himself out of
the car, but then slumped to
the ground beside it before
an ambulance arrived. He
was eventually airlifted out
due to traffic around the
track.
NASCAR didn’t immediately have an update
on his condition, although
JGR President J.D. Gibbs
thought Hamlin would be
fine. Hamlin’s girlfriend,
Jordan Fish, tweeted that
Hamlin was “alert n awake,
main concern is his back.”
“We were super fast, led
a lot of laps,” Logano said.
“Nothing to hang our head
down about, that’s for sure.”
Stewart, the defending
Fontana champion, then
got his crack at Logano,
who went extremely low
to block Stewart out of the
last restart, killing Stewart’s
momentum and consigning
him to a 22nd-place finish.
“I had to throw the block
there,” Logano said. “That
was a race for the lead. I felt
if the 14 got underneath me,
that was going to be the end
of my opportunity to win
the race, so I was just trying
to protect the spot I had.”
Stewart ran over to Logano’s car and confronted
him after the race, shoving
the younger driver — who
then threw a water bottle
at Stewart, the veteran said
— before teammates pulled
them apart.
Stewart was replaced by
Logano at Joe Gibbs Racing
when Stewart left to drive
for his own team in 2009.
Richardson missed a 3-pointer. In the fight for the rebound,
the ball appeared to ricochet
off the hands of Miami’s Kenny Kadji out of bounds. But
the Hurricanes kept the ball,
and Durand Scott made two
free throws after that.
Miami (29-6) is in the round
of 16 for only the second time
in school history. The Hurricanes play Marquette (25-8)
in Washington, D.C. on Thursday night.

player of the year, finished
with 17 points. Rion Brown
had 21 with five 3s.
Brandon Paul had 18 points
for Illionis (23-13).
coach Tom Crean said. “They
take a backseat to nobody.”
Oladipo, who spent the afternoon doing all he could to
slow down Wyatt, scored 16
and Cody Zeller added 15 for
the Hoosiers, lucky to leave
Dayton with their national title
hopes intact.
After Oladipo’s long 3 put
the Hoosiers up 56-52, Indiana had to buckle down on
Wyatt, the Atlantic 10’s Player
of the Year.
Wyatt, though, was way off
with a 3-pointer from the right
wing with 6 seconds left and
Indiana’s Christian Watford
grabbed the rebound, was
fouled and made his two free
throws.

DAYTON, Ohio — On the
verge of being the second No.
1 knocked from the NCAA
tournament, Indiana finally
stopped Temple’s No. 1.
Victor Oladipo hit a key 3pointer with 13 seconds remaining and the top-seeded
Hoosiers, their season moments from ending in disappointment, shut down Owls
star Khalif Wyatt in the final
three minutes to hold off Temple 58-52 on Sunday in the
East Regional.
The Hoosiers (29-6) trailed
by four with 2:56 left, but
closed with a 10-0 run and
advanced to the round of 16
for the second straight year.
Indiana will play No. 4 seed
Syracuse in the regional semifinals on Thursday in Washington, a rematch of the classic 1987 title game won by
the Hoosiers.
Wyatt scored 31 points to
lead the Owls (24-10), who
gave one of the Big Ten’s big
boys all they could handle before collapsing when it mattered most.
“Temple, like I said to our
players in the huddle, they’re
as tough a team physically
and mentally as we faced all
year, and we faced the best all
year in the Big Ten,” Indiana
AUSTIN, Texas — Florida
guard Mike Rosario stood
near midcourt, smiling, shaking hands and high-fiving
his teammates as the final
seconds ticked off the clock
of a win over Minnesota that
had started as a laugher and
turned into a grinder.
Rosario and his teammates
could finally relax: the Gators
were on their way to the NCAA
tournament round of 16 for
the third consecutive year.
Rosario scored 25 points,
most of it coming on six 3pointers, and No. 3 seed
Florida used an overpowering
first half to earn a 78-64 win
Sunday over No. 11 seed Minnesota in the third round of
the South Regional.
After scoring just eight
points and spending long minutes on the bench in Florida’s
first tournament game against
Northwestern State, Rosario
was the go-to guy for the Gators, who earned a trip back
to the Lone Star State to play
No. 15-seed Florida Gulf
Coast University at Cowboys
Stadium in Arlington.
“The message that coach
gave us and gave me personally was ‘you’ve got to go out
there and compete,’” said Rosario, who was 6 of 9 from 3.

Bridge
By PhilliP Alder
United Feature Syndicate
Don Marquis, a journalist and humorist who died
in 1937, said, “A pessimist is a person who has
had to listen to too many
optimists.”
Not at the bridge table!
A pessimist will do better
in the long run and should
rarely listen to an optimist.
This deal is an example.
South has barreled into
four spades. West cashes
two club tricks, then
guesses well in shifting
to the diamond jack. East
takes dummy’s queen
with his ace and returns
the suit. How would an
optimist or a pessimist
continue?
North made a single
raise with a maximum
for the bid, having four
trumps, a king-queen and
a doubleton.
South’s jump to four
spades was a tad optimistic, but he expected the
game to have play. Also,
perhaps the opponent
might misjudge, bid five
clubs, and pay a doubled
penalty.
West was tempted to
shift to his singleton heart
at trick three, hoping that
his partner had a major-
suit ace. But he was not
that optimistic.
South saw that he
needed the heart finesse
to succeed, so, whether
an optimist or a pessimist,
assumed that it would.
The optimist, leaving it
at that, would draw three
rounds of trumps ending on the board and run
the heart 10. The finesse
would win, but when
declarer repeated it, West
would show out and the
contract would fail.
The pessimist would
anticipate the 1-4 heart
break. He would play
a heart to his queen at
trick five. Then he would
draw trumps ending with
dummy’s queen, run the
heart 10, play a heart to
his jack, and claim.

PotashCorp receives partnership award
Contributed photo
Ross smith, potashCorp-Aurora manager of environmental
affairs, accepts the outstanding partnership Award presented by
the environmental educators of north Carolina.
PotashCorp-Aurora
recently was presented the
2012 Outstanding Partnership
Award by the Environmental
Educators of North Carolina.
The recognition was a result
of PotashCorp-Aurora’s role
in supporting environmental
education and the goals of the
Environmental Educators of
North Carolina (EENC).
Each year, the EENC recognizes environmental educators,
members, organizations and
partners for their contributions to environmental literacy,
the field of environmental
education, the EENC, and the
environmental well-being of
North Carolina.
Nominations are made
throughout the state based
on unique accomplishments
that support the values of the
organization.
“Our facility and its em-
ployees work very hard, every
day to be good stewards of
our environment and to help
young people understand the
importance of environmental
stewardship,” Ross Smith, manager of environmental affairs
PotashCorp-Aurora, said. “It
is always nice to find out that
others in the field recognize
those efforts.”
PotashCorp-Aurora specifically was noted for its contributions to environmental
education facilities in eastern
North Carolina, where it helps
provide places for students to
learn and support hands-on
education with fossil kits for
use in the classroom.
The Environmental Educators of North Carolina also
recognized the time and effort
taken to return the mine to
its natural ecosystem despite
significant challenges and the
fact that PotashCorp-Aurora
“walks the walk” by providing
educational opportunities as
well as being an environmental
steward.
As the world’s largest crop
nutrient company, PotashCorp plays an integral role in
global food production. The
company produces the three
essential nutrients required to
help farmers grow healthier,
more abundant crops. With
global population rising and
diets improving in developing
countries, crop nutrients such
as potash, phosphates and nitrogen offer practical solutions
to help produce food.
PCS Phosphate Co. Inc.
(PotashCorp Aurora) produces
phosphate products for agricultural, animal nutrition and
industrial uses. The Aurora
division has more than 900
employees.

Ten ECU students earn
awards in annual ADDA
design drafting contest
Ten East Carolina University students received national
recognition for work completed during the fall 2012
semester.
The work was in partial
fulfillment of requirements for
a bachelor of science degree
in design, which is administered by ECU’s Department
of Technology Systems. The
recognition resulted from the
students having competed in
the American Design Drafting
Association’s (ADDA) 2012-13
Design Drafting Contest.
Because of their academic
preparation and experience,
all the ECU students were required to compete in Category
A (advanced level). Divisions
were A-RES (Architectural
Residential Design Drafting), A-COM (Architectural
Commercial Design Drafting),
A-MECH (Machine and Mechanical Working Drawings),
and A-OPEN (Open).
Fifteen students from ECU’s
architectural design and drafting course and 10 students
from ECU’s geometric dimensioning and tolerancing course
submitted entries. Contest
committees comprised of
experienced design drafters
judged criteria based on the
respective industry standards
and ANSI/ASME standards.
In addition, the students’
work was examined in terms
of the following: appearance/
neatness, accuracy, line work,

normally awarded to each of
the three places in each division. However, awards were
not made for all places in this

by a sufficient number of

Award of Excellence (first
place), Board of Directors
Award (second place) and
the Presidential Award (third
place). Board of Governors
winners also receive a $100
cash prize and a voucher for
ADDA annual conference fees
worth up to $677.
Winners are invited to accept their awards during the
annual conference, scheduled
for April 9-12 in Kansas City,
Mo.
