The East Laurinburg Baptist Church float received sec- ond place. “We were so excited to learn we had received first place,” said Dr. Olivia Guzman, veterinar- ian at the hospital. “I heard that Laurel Hill had won for the past 12 years, and we never thought we could beat them. But we started hearing compli- ments during the parade, and started to have a few hopes since we finished second last year. It was a great, fun project and I’m so happy for the staff that we won.” Hinson said the display created by Adams Pet Spa was another of her favorites. “I just loved how well behaved the dogs were,” she said. “Mine would never stay on the float like those animals did.” Gary Bowden of Laurinburg said that he was impressed by the number of floats in this year’s event.

Still, it would be hard to envision the Eastern Band without a deal soon that will bring in millions of additional dollars annually to the tribe and local school districts. There's the promise of 400 new jobs in a sour economy. The tribe also has increased its political clout over the past decade. During that time, the tribe has made more than $1 million in state campaign contributions. Key legislators and Perdue's office are talking about working together to finish the deal. "We want to get it done," said Republican Sen. Tom Apodaca, chairman of the powerful Senate Rules Committee from Henderson County, not far from the casino. "We don't see it as increasing gambling but increasing jobs. There will be some who are dead set against it, but I don't think you'll hear nearly the arguments that you heard over the lottery." The compact signing between Perdue and Eastern Band Principal Chief Michell Hicks would allow the tribe to go beyond the electronic video poker-style and card games it already offers at the casino, which opened in 1997. The agreement would give the state a 4 percent cut of the gross revenues from the new games, tick- ing up to 8 percent during the 30-year compact. In exchange, the tribe gets to be the exclusive provider of the live table gaming west of Interstate 26. The U.S. interior secretary will take a close look at whether the percentage of revenue the state will receive and the parameters of exclusivity are fair and reasonable, said Steve Light, co-director of the Institute for the Study of Tribal Gaming Law & Tom Hughes | AP Policy at the University of North Dakota.

It's a bit too big. The planet is smack in the middle of what astronomers call the Goldilocks zone, that hard to find place that's not too hot, not too cold, where water, which is essential for life, doesn't freeze or boil. And it has a shopping mall-like surface temperature of near 72 degrees, scientists say. The planet's confirmation was announced Monday by NASA along with other discoveries by its Kepler telescope, which was launched on a planet-hunting mission in 2009. That's the first planet confirmed in the habitable zone for Kepler, which had already found Earth-like rocky planets elsewhere. Twice before astronomers have announced a planet found in that zone, but neither have been as promising. "This is a phenomenal discovery in the course of human history," Geoff Marcy of University of California, Berkeley, one of the pioneers of planet- hunting outside our solar system, said in an email. "This discovery shows that we Homo sapiens are straining our reach into the universe to find planets that remind us of home. We are almost there." The new planet — named Kepler- 22b — has key aspects it shares with AP Earth. It circles a star that could be This undated handout artist rendering provided by NASA shows Kepler-22b, a planet known to comfortably circle in the habitable zone of a sun-like star. the twin of our sun and at just about It is the first planet that NASA's Kepler mission has confirmed to orbit in a star's habitable zone — the region around a star where liquid water, a require- the same distance.

Matt Smith Sports Editor

Porter Ridge may have thrown the first punch in the opening round of the North Carolina 4-A state championship Saturday, Dec. 3, at BB&T Field in Winston-Salem, N.C., but it was the Fighting Scots who landed the knockout blow, scoring 35 second-half points to rout the Pirates 42-16 to claim their first state title. Early nerves and turnovers sent Scotland (15-0) down at halftime for just the second time this season, but a dominant defensive performance, in front of an immense pro-Scotland crowd, helped fuel a second-half comeback that willed the Fighting Scots to victory. Scotland quarterback Kwashaun Quick threw for 172 yards and two touchdowns in the second half, garnering game MVP honors, while running back Tony McRae rushed for 75 yards and two scores to earn offensive MVP honors in the process. Nose tackle Kris Tyndall earned defensive MVP honors, highlighting a Scotland defense that forced four turnovers and allowed just 161 yards through the air. The title was also the first for Scotland head coach Chip Williams, who in just his fourth year with the Scotland pro- gram, took a team with 2-9 records in his first two seasons and turned them into championship contenders. “It’s about these young men,” Williams said. “The first meet- Quarterback Kwashaun Quick rushes for a first down. Quick earned game MVP honors, throwing for 228 yards and three scores. ing at Scotland County, these guys were there. We talked about playing in this game and winning. These guys did exactly what we asked them to do. We worked extremely hard. They perse- vered and did everything we asked them. They’re deserving of this state championship. “They play together well,” he said. “They’re a team. It’s not an individual group. They have MVPs for every game, but we have a lot of MVPs on our team.” Quick, who finished with 228 yards on 9-of-15 passing with three touchdown and three interceptions said his dream of hoisting a state title at the end of the season finally came to fruition. “It means a lot,” he said. “It’s everything we’ve worked for and talked about. I’ve dreamed of this as a little kid and to finally see it happen means a lot.” A Scotland team that was the very definition of poise this year showed a bit of nervousness to start the game, turning the ball over on their first three possessions on two Quick interceptions and a fumble, leading directly to the Pirates’ first two scores. After Quick’s first interception, the Pirates moved the ball 68 yards on their second drive of the game, finding the end zone on a 3-yard touchdown pass from Lee McNeill to Zach Scarboro for the game’s first score. On Quick’s second interception, the Pirates’ Jordan Oakley jumped in front of a Scotland receiver, snagging Porter Ridges’ Scotland defensive lineman Kris Tyndall rumbles into the end zone after an interception, scoring on a 24-yard return. third takeaway of the night for an 82-yard interception return for a score to give the Pirates’ a commanding 13-0 lead with 2:06 to go in the first quarter. Faced with their largest deficit of the season, Scotland’s championship mentality reared its head, as the Fighting Scots outscored the Pirates 42-3 over the game’s final three quarters. Scotland cut the Pirates’ lead to just one score before half- time, as Quick found Travis Wall for a 5-yard touchdown pass with 8:23 left in the second quarter, bringing the score to 13-7 after an Aaron Stevens’ extra-point.

They did a great job.” See DESTINY | 2B
