We remember the passengers on those doomed flights, the brave and heroic service of countless police officers and firefighters, and we send our deepest regards to all those who lost loved ones that day.
Dear Editor:
I will tell you why everyone blames President Obama. First of all, he’s a black man. Second, he’s a black man with power.

LOUISBURG -- While some fans squirmed in their seats, Louisburg College football coach John Sala embraced adversity as part of his club’s season-opening home showdown last Saturday against Erie Community College.
And for Sala and his Hurricanes, this was more than just an initial game to the campaign -- it was history in the making as LC’s first-ever contest as part of the Northeast Football Contest.

LOUISBURG -- Last season didn’t live up to expectations for the Louisburg High School boys soccer program -- and the Warriors are bent on reversing that outcome this time around.

RALEIGH -- No doubt about it -- members of the Franklinton High School coaching staff considered last Friday’s football contest at Ravenscroft to be a ‘statement game’.
Yes, FHS entered the event with a perfect 2-0 mark, but the high-powered Ravens were considered a schedule upgrade -- and it’s never easy to take on Ravenscroft on its home turf.
ADA, OHIO -- North Carolina Wesleyan College opened its 2011 football season last Saturday afternoon with a 38-20 loss to 14th-ranked Ohio Northern University on the road.
