Judge hears two motions in school suit By LARRY DALE Daily Courier Staff Writer
RUTHERFORDTON — A Superior Court judge heard two motions Monday in Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy’s civil lawsuit against the Rutherford County Board of Education, but did not immediately make a ruling. He said it would take him about a week to digest the information that had been
presented. Judge A. Robinson Hassell heard arguments on the defendant’s motion for summary judgment in the suit and briefly on an individual’s motion to intervene as a defendant in the case. A summary judgment is defined by wordnet.web as “a judgment rendered by the court prior to a verdict because no material issue of fact exists and one party
or the other is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.” In this case, the board of education says that Thomas Jefferson, a charter school, does not have a valid claim on the monies it is seeking. The charter school alleges it has been underfunded by the school system. Please see Motions, Page 6

FOREST CITY — The Chase High School Class of 2010 is prepared to chase their dreams. Mackenzie McCraw, who was ranked number one in the class, gave that message to the 160 graduates Sunday night during the school’s annual commencement ceremony. “We have the chance to create our own happily ever after,” McCraw said during her speech that began like a fairy tale.
“We do not have to be scared by what comes next,” McCraw reminded her classmates. “We can create the fairy tale ending ourselves.” McCraw said graduation wasn’t an ending and not a beginning, but rather the middle of a journey. And that after four years as students at Chase High, it was time to do more. “Now we’ll turn the noun into a verb and go chasing our dreams,” she said. Second-ranked Laura Tomblin took the Please see Chase, Page 2
RUTHERFORDTON — Weather wise, this week is likely to be “a carbon copy of last year,” Brad Boris said from the Broad River Water Plant Monday afternoon. Boris measures the temperature and rainfall for the National Weather Service. He said typically temperatures in Rutherford County range in the upper 80’s to the mid 90’s this time of year. “The winds out of the south have brought in a lot of moisture from the gulf state region and you can really tell that by the humidity. “With temps in the 90’s, along with the high humidity, it is a good recipe for a miserably uncomfortable day,” Boris said. Monday was “supposed to be the hottest day so far” this year and as of 3 p.m. Monday, he had a temperature reading of 95. “The rest of the week, can expect lower 90’s,” he said. Wendy Craig said the highest reading from the Lake Lure Fire Department Monday was 97 degrees. At about 4 p.m., it was 92 degrees, she said. NWS also receives weather data from Lake Lure.
Keever will seek re-election By JEAN GORDON Daily Courier Staff Writer
FOREST CITY — Incumbent Board of Education member Carolyn Keever filed her intention Monday with the Board of Elections to seek a second term of office. Keever, who represents the R-S District, was the first to file Monday as three seats on the Rutherford County Board of Education are up for re-election along with two seats for Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor. “I look forward to what is going to happen in the future under Dr. (Janet) Mason’s leadership,” Keever said. “I am excited about the things that have happened in the Rutherford County Schools and I know great things are going to happen. We need to get it out there in the forefront and our communities need to know the great things that are happening,” she added. “We have an outstanding staff in every capacity who care about our children, who want to support them and want to take care of them,” Keever added. The two other seats up for election are held by Sherry Bright, East District 2 and Scott Morrow, Chase District 3. Interested candidates have until July 2 at noon to file.

Carolinas Today NC teen’s death reviewed
ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) — Police are investigating the death of a North Carolina teenager at a South Carolina psychiatric treatment facility. The Charlotte Observer reported that 17-year-old Levi Snyder of Lenoir, N.C., died Saturday morning at the New Hope Carolinas treatment center. Rock Hill police Detective Kathy Harveston said the early investigation turned up no evidence of foul play. The teen was a patient at the center that treats emotionally disturbed adolescents. Harveston said Snyder had been treated for chest congestion last week and was on antibiotics. The York County coroner is expected to conduct an autopsy this week.
Fire closed a part of I-40
GREENSBORO (AP) — Authorities say a stretch of Interstate 40 in Greensboro has been closed as firefighters battle a blaze that began when lightning struck a gasoline tank. The North Carolina Division of Emergency Management said a stretch of the interstate was closed between state Highway 68 and Guilford College Road. Spokeswoman Julia Jarema said in an e-mailed statement early Sunday that lightning struck a gasoline tank at the Colonial Pipeline Tank Farm near I-40 shortly after midnight. She said no injuries were reported and there was no danger to the public.
Traffic was being rerouted onto Market Street and signs were in place to guide motorists. People driving through the area were being asked to follow the Greensboro Bypass along I-74.
Marijuana seized
RALEIGH (AP) — The two former FBI assistant directors who are investigating the state crime lab in North Carolina will be on the job for several more months. The state has extended the contracts of Chris Swecker and Mike Wolf through the end of the year. Attorney General Roy Cooper ordered the outside review of the State Bureau of Investigation crime lab after testimony at a groundbreaking innocence hearing showed lab reports didn’t always include all test results. The original 90-day contracts expired in June and paid each man up to $40,000. The extensions pay each up to $100,000 and were signed Friday.
Fort Bragg statue moving FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — Fort Bragg’s original iconic paratrooper statue is moving to its new home in front of a nearby military museum. The 3,000-pound statue will be moved early Monday morning in front of the Airborne and Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville. Officials said they want the statue, affectionately called Iron Mike, in place for the 70th anniversary of the Army Parachute Test Platoon’s first official jump. The statue was commissioned in the 1950s and dedicated in September 1961. It stood 15 feet tall and cost slightly more than $4,000. A new $250,000 bronze Iron Mike statue replaced the original in September 2005.

LINCOLTON (AP) — North Carolina police have seized more than 200 pounds of marijuana and charged four people with drug trafficking. The Charlotte Observer reported that the drugs seized by Alcohol Law Enforcement Division agents in Lincolnton had an estimated value of
$168,000. Police had received a complaint of drug sales at a hotel and motel that were not identified. Agents say they found 110 pounds of pot when they pulled over a van driven by 28-yearold Ninfa Hinojosa of Athens, Ga. A search of a home connected to the van led to another 100 pounds. Other charged in the case were 23-year-old Jose Jesus Ramirez, 20-year-old Ricardo Carrillo Polanco and 24-year-old Modesto Marquez Medina. All are residents of Lincolnton, which is about 40 miles northwest of Charlotte.

stage after McCraw, saying that as she began Chase as a freshman, she was scared of what to expect because she was a band geek. She recalled going home to her mother and saying she wished she could get past freshman year. “I could say what has been great or not great about the last four years, but what happens next is the most important,” Tomblin said. Tomblin said high school wasn’t just a time to learn how letters can be used in math equations, but also a time for lessons that occurred outside the classroom. “We learned to respect authority even when we didn’t like the decision .... Not everything we learned came out of textbooks,” she said. In closing, Tomblin reminded her peers that hard work and motivation were keys to future success. For his speech, Andrew Scruggs chose to compare the lives of the stu-
dents to the life cycle of a plant. “The life of a plant starts as a small seed, and with care and nurturing the seed grows into a plant,” he said. But as the plant grows, sometimes weeds and insects will invade. “It’s up to us to keep the weeds and insects out of our lives,” he said. Scruggs reminded his classmates the fruit of the plant is what bears the seeds for the next generation. “We should produce the most positive fruit they (parents and others) hope we achieve,” he said. “I encourage everyone to continue to grow and mature and be known for the fruit you produce and not the weeds you grow.” Following the conferring of diplomas by Superintendent Dr. Janet Mason and Chase Principals Greg Lovelace, Richard Millwood and Tim Torvinen, the class celebrated their achievement with a fireworks celebration.

The primary mode of sharing this information has historically been in the form of the obituary page of the local newspaper or announcements made by the local radio station. However, with saturation of the internet into almost every area of our lives, we are now seeing a major shift in how information about local deaths is communicated to the public. Newspapers are now engaged in publishing online editions of the daily news which include the daily obituaries. Most newspapers subscribe to an obituary service that combines local deaths with those of notable national figures. These online editions also often include the ability to sign a guestbook or post a comment about the deceased. It has been my

In addition to online newspaper obituaries, most funeral homes now have websites that accommodate the posting of obituary information. This is usually done as a courtesy to the family as part of the service provided by the funeral home. I have heard recently that some funeral homes are now charging for the obituary to be placed on their website. However, at present this is the exception not the rule.
Multiple media outlets reported part of the ceiling at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church near Hickory fell about noon Sunday. Hickory Police Lt. Bryan Adams says about 200 people were in church when some ceiling tiles in the back of the church fell. Twelve people were taken to area hospitals.

Our Views Be careful — heat can kill
S
ummer has arrived with a vengeance as high temperatures and humidity have people in Rutherford County sweltering. Now is a great time to remember — heat can kill. It behooves each of us to do all that we can to stay cool and to make sure that our friends and neighbors, especially those who may be at greater risk due to heat related problems are safe. These tips can help: n Drink more fluids (nonalcoholic), regardless of your activity level. n Stay indoors and, if at all possible, stay in an air-conditioned place, even if its only for a few hours. n Fans can help, but taking a cool shower or bath is better. n Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing. More safety tips can be found on the CDC website (cdc.gov) or the RedCross website (redcross.org)
Our readers’ views Says county should be thankful for VFDs To the editor: I would like to tell you people of Rutherford County a story. I feel the volunteer fire department does not get the recognition they deserve. A month ago, around midnight, my mom, who struggles to breath, collapsed on my back porch. I immediately called 911. Within 10 minutes, a man arrived from the fire department. His name is Daniel Edwards. When he got to my mom, she was already in respiratory distress and had stopped breathing. Hid did his job and saved her life. This man who loves his job and is dedicated to saving lives as well as the other local heroes like him need to be recognized for what they do. I want to thank Daniel Edwards and the Ellenboro Fire Department volunteers and the emergency responders who came that night. If it wasn’t for you, I would not have my mom today. Melissa Greene Ellenboro
Candidate thanks voters for their support To the editor: It is hard to believe, it has already been a month since the primary election. I have been busy traveling throughout the county thanking those that supported me during the primary race and asking for everyone’s input and guidance on issues important to them as we
move forward to the general election on Nov. 2nd. For those readers of The Daily Courier that supported my candidacy and whom I have not had an opportunity to personally thank … let me take this opportunity to thank each of you and ask for your support again in November. When you see me traveling across the county over the next five months, please stop me and let me know what issues are important to you. Between us, we will work to make Rutherford County an even better place in which to live and work than it currently already is. Julius Owens Forest City
Follows up writer’s comments on oil spill To the editor: While I haven’t always agreed with past letters from Tara Wright I have to admit that the last letter on June 10th concerning the oil spill was right on the money. There are many questions that the people need answers for. She asked, what contribution from other big oil companies are they giving for the clean up? So I did a little research and this is what I found. On the Exxon Corp. website they state..”ExxonMobil continues to provide assistance to support efforts in the Gulf of Mexico. ExxonMobil has teams of technical experts in its Upstream Research Company and drilling organization working to provide BP with engineering and techni-
cal expertise in a range of areas related to the response. Does this mean that they are on the ground helping? Who knows. On the Chevron Corp. website they state that they have a “highly-trained Oil Spill Response Team” but I couldn’t find if they are helping BP or not. I saw that there are a lot of ideas out there on how to clean it up. Some sound kookie and others sound pretty good. Why not try them all instead of pointing fingers as to who is to blame. There will be plenty of time for that later. And just like Tara said ... write your congressman. Or better yet call them. Heath Shuler-(828) 252-1651 or (202) 225-6401. Patrick McHenry (704)481-0578 or (202)225-2576. Demand answers on how we are cleaning things up. Waiting on BP to get things done has past. We need every expert on the matter down in the Gulf working and not in D.C. chatting with Congress. Barbara Sane Rutherfordton
Church thanks all who helped in benefit To the editor: Mt. Hebron United Methodist Church congregation would like to thank everyone who took part in the unconditional love benefit held May 8 for a family in need. Thanks for the food donated, the donations of money, and the workers who got it together. God bless. Imogene Hodge Rutherfordton
Updated Gazetteer could help some politicians As the primary runoff campaign for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination draws to a close, it is fair to ask what has been the hardest challenge for the two candidates. I will tell you my answer in a minute. But first I am going to give you the name of a useful book that every statewide political candidate should carry in the front seat of the car. Here is the book: The North Carolina Gazetteer, Second Edition: A Dictionary of Tar Heel Places and Their History. The new book is an update of the 1968 classic that was compiled by North Carolina history hero William Powell. Michael Hill from the N.C. Office of Archives and History updated Powell’s almost 20,000 entries and added about 1800 new cities, towns, crossroads, waterways, islands, mountains, counties, and other geographical and historical points of interest. Now, what is the chal-
One on One D.G. Martin
lenge for political candidates and how would this book help? Consider the experience of one U.S. Senate campaign in which the candidate was invited to give a speech at “the courthouse in Rockingham.” On the appointed date, the candidate arrived at the courthouse in Rockingham in Richmond County near the South Carolina border. Finding the courthouse doors locked, he wondered why not a single supporter had shown up to greet him. Meanwhile, at the Rockingham County Courthouse in Wentworth, not far from the Virginia border, the small group that had gathered to greet the candidate gradually dispersed, wondering why he had not shown up.
With a quick look at page 448 of the Gazetteer, the candidate would have noted the two Rockinghams and their different locations. Also, he could have gotten a little interesting history to add to his speech — noting, perhaps, that Rockingham (both city and county) and Wentworth were named for the same man, Charles Watson-Wentworth, Marquis of Rockingham and a British Prime Minister who had been friendly to the American colonies. Travelers in North Carolina, as well as candidates, get confused because so many county seats carry the names of counties other than their own. For instance, Asheboro is the county seat of Randolph County and Asheville is the county seat of Buncombe County. The county seat of Ashe County is West Jefferson. The county seat of Washington County is Plymouth, not Washington (“Little Washington), which is the county seat of Beaufort
County. Beaufort is the county seat of Carteret County. The Greene county seat is Snow Hill, not Greensboro (county seat of Guilford) or Greenville (country seat of Pitt). Pittsboro, meanwhile, is county seat of Chatham County. Jackson County’s seat is Sylva, not Jackson (county seat of Northampton) or Jacksonville (county seat of Onslow). There are more. Columbus is county seat of Polk; Lenoir of Caldwell; Graham of Alamance; Franklin of Macon; Waynesville of Haywood; Yanceyville of Caswell; and Henderson of Vance (although Hendersonville is, appropriately, the county seat of Henderson County.) The Gazetteer takes care of this confusion about counties and county seats and other things that create problems for statewide political candidates, who sometimes mispronounce the names of the places where they campaign, places like Robeson County (ROB-uh-son,
according to the Gazetteer), Rowan County (ROW-an), Tyrrell County (Tir-ehl) and Beaufort (BOE-furt). I hope future editions will tell candidates and young public radio reporters how we pronounce Salisbury and Concord. Also thanks to the Gazetteer, our U.S. Senate candidate could develop his or her foreign policy resume by visiting places like Warsaw, Belgrade, Dublin, Lisbon, Bolivia, and Arabia, without ever leaving North Carolina. If you are looking for a gift for your favorite political candidate or any other “serious North Carolinian,” the Gazetteer might be the answer to your challenge. Note: Michael Hill is scheduled to talk about the Gazetteer at UNC-Chapel Hill Saturday, July 24th, as part of a meeting of the Cumming Map Society. Martin hosts UNC-TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch, which airs Sundays at 5 p.m.

Deaths Jimmy Dean RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Jimmy Dean, a country music legend for his smash hit about a workingman hero, “Big Bad John,” and an entrepreneur known for his sausage brand, died on Sunday. He was 81. Born in 1928, Dean was raised in poverty in Plainview, Texas, and dropped out of high school after the ninth grade. He went on to a successful entertainment career in the 1950s and ‘60s that included
the nationally televised “The Jimmy Dean Show.” In 1969, Dean went into the sausage business, starting the Jimmy Dean Meat Co. He sold the company to Sara Lee Corp. in 1984. With his drawled wisecracks and quick wit, Dean charmed many fans. But in both entertainment and business circles. His start in the music business came as an accordionist at a tavern near Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C. After leaving the Air Force in 1948, he fronted his band, the Texas Wildcats. By the early 1950s, Dean’s band had its first national hit in “Bummin’ Around.” “Big Bad John,” which is about a coal miner who saves fellow workers when a mine roof collapses, became a big hit in 1961 and won a

Grammy. His fame led him to a string of television shows, including “The Jimmy Dean Show” on CBS. Dean’s last big TV stint was ABC’s version of “The Jimmy Dean Show” from 1963 to 1966. Dean in February was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame. Dean became a headliner at venues like Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl and became the first country star to play on the Las Vegas strip. He was the first guest host on “The Tonight Show,” and also was an actor with parts in television and the movies, including the role of James Bond’s ally Willard Whyte in “Diamonds Are Forever.”

Thomas Jefferson is represented by attorney Richard Vinroot of Charlotte. The Rutherford County Schools is represented by attorney Christopher Z. Campbell of Asheville. Vinroot said the legal issues in the case have already been resolved three times over, and he cited the Sugar Creek I, Sugar Creek II and Delaney cases. Carolina Journal wrote about those cases, “In two recent high-profile decisions regarding charter school funding, known as Sugar Creek I and Sugar Creek II, the N.C. Court of Appeals unanimously held that Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education had violated the state statute requiring local school districts to distribute the appropriate per-pupil share of money in the current local school district current expense fund to every school in the district, both traditional public and charter schools. As a result, CMS paid $5.5 million to the 10 charter schools that were plaintiffs in the lawsuit.” Vinroot said Monday, “If it goes into the current expense fund, we are entitled to a fair share.” He said the case involves funding in

equipment. “Everything I had was in there,” Campbell said Monday morning. He was using a carpet cleaning machine that sends sensors if the water or oil in it is low and will actually cut off if that happens. It doesn’t cut off that often and when it did Friday, he said “I really didn’t think anything about it, but when I went outside to crank it again, flames were everywhere. Campbell said he had just completed cleaning one of the rooms and was about to do another when the machine shut off. Fire was erupting from all over the van as all the doors were open. The van also contained a propane buffer and fortunately the way the van was parked, Campbell said, when it exploded the flames blew in the opposite direction of the house. The house sustained extreme siding damage at the garage entrance and smoke damage throughout the house. “This is just stuff,” Ginger said Monday morning “It is going to be okay, she said. “It’s been one of those weekends,” Ginger said from the site of the new home. “It was just stuff. No body was hurt, all this can be fixed,” she said. A renovation crew from Hendersonville met with the couple Monday morning to give estimates and begin the repairs. “We have a delayed scheduled,” she said. After the siding is replaced, the house repainted indoors and a few

it would have the unintended consequence that “no good deed goes unpunished.” He said, for example, that a school board might be reluctant to take Smart Start money because they would then have to turn around and allocate money to the charter school. As for moving money around in the budget, the motion for summary judgment says, “The Board was entitled to amend its budget resolutions for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 to properly reflect the restricted nature of certain revenues and that said revenues transferred from Fund 2 into Funds 7 and 8 should not be shared with Plaintiff.” In the other motion, student Grant Rodrigo Hernandez, through his guardian, Elizabeth Lane, asked to intervene in the case as a defendant.
other smoke damaged areas are cleaned, the couple plan to move in. Trey, a Marine, had taken a 10-day leave from his Washington, D.C. office to help his family with the move. Ginger and the couple’s family were already in Forest City. But when the movers were in route from Florida, their former home, with all the furniture, the moving van broke down and their household belongings were stranded. They have been delivered to Bright’s Storage in Forest City for the time being. “We’ll get there when it is meant to be,” she said. In addition to the damage to the house and the destruction of the cleaning van, the couple had also borrowed a small pick up truck to help with the moving. It sustained paint damage from the van inferno. Although the Guys had been new homeowners for just five hours, they have insurance to replace the belongings and the damage to the home. Unfortunately, Campbell did not have insurance, he said. Forest City Fire Chief Mark McCurry said Campbell told him it was not something he could afford. But he told him, he’d have it the next time. Campbell is trying desperately to get back on his feet, going on the Internet to see if Craig’s list has any available equipment. He found a carpet cleaning vehicle that seems to be a reasonable price and he’ll continue looking. “Trust me. I’ve lost everything,” he said. “I wouldn’t wish this on anyone,” Campbell said. “When I saw the fire all I could think about was the house.
Everything in me went empty. Just bottomed me out,” he said. He is also checking out other possibilities for more equipment and other jobs. McCurry also said he is not sure what caused the vehicle fire. “I don’t know why it started. We went over and looked at it Saturday. It was not in the cleaning machines. It appears to have started in the compartment area of the van, toward the driver’s door. He had some batteries in there, but we don’t know if something got against the battery or something,” McCurry added. Campbell said he had just completed one other job when he arrived at the Perry’s house, and all the equipment he owned was in the van. “We feel so sorry for him,” Ginger added. Another Forest City family had extensive damage to their home off Franklin Drive after a fire at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday. Ronnie and Susie Huntley were out of town when their granddaughter and a friend were cooking and a pan of grease ignited on the stove. “They pulled the pan off the stove,” McCurry said, and the granddaughter said when she put baking soda on the fire, it got much worse. “The fire went right to the attic and spread from one end of the attic to the other,” McCurry said. Estimated damage is between $40,000 and $50,000, McCurry said. “The whole roof is going to have to come off,” McCurry said. The house was insured.
The response from the plaintiff’s attorneys was that it was inappropriate, since there was no dispute with that individual and the impact on that person would be indirect or inconsequential. Campbell, speaking for the defendant, said the issue is essential to the case, and the “ruling could affect the intervener.” Contact Dale via e-mail at ldale@thedigitalcourier.com

Congressman apologizes for video incident RALEIGH (AP) — A Democratic congressman apologized Monday after video posted online showed him swatting at a video camera and demanding that two men taping him with it identify themselves. “I deeply and profoundly regret my reaction an I apologize to all involved,” Rep. Bob Etheridge said in a statement. “No matter how intrusive and partisan our politics can become, this does not justify a poor response.” Etheridge, a congressman in North Carolina since 1997, reiterated his apology at a hastily called news con-
ference Monday afternoon. “The truth is I had a long day,” he said. “I’ve had bad days many times. It’s not a good crutch to lean on and I won’t use that.” The video was posted Monday on websites owned by Andrew Breitbart, the conservative Web entrepreneur who also released video of workers for the community organizing group ACORN counseling actors posing as a pimp and prostitute. It shows two men approaching Etheridge with a camera on a Washington street. He swats at the
camera and repeatedly asks the men who they are. When they say they are students, he grabs one by the wrist and quickly by the back of the neck before pulling him against his side. The video is interspersed with several screens of text, including: “What happens when a US congressman meets a college kid on a street in Washington?” and a few frames later, “He goes BERSERK!” In a telephone interview from London, Breitbart declined to name the students who recorded the video, saying he wanted to protect them.

the 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09 school years, with an audit awaited on the 2009-10 year. Both the plaintiff’s and the defendant’s attorneys cited North Carolina General Statutes ranging from 115C425 to 115C-433 concerning the budgeting of money for schools. Vinroot also cited examples of where the Rutherford County Board of Education moved money into other accounts, which he claims was to shield the money from charter school claims. Campbell said a restriction on how some money can be spent is the crucial reason for not simply splitting up the money in the current expense fund. The defendant’s motion for summary judgment states, “Plaintiff is not entitled to share in any revenue, directly or indirectly, from Fund 2 (the Local Current Expense Fund) to the extent that said revenue is from federal and/or state sources and said revenue is limited by federal and/or state laws or regulations as to its use in that each dollar must be accounted for and used to provide voluntary services to a population outside of the Board’s obligation to provide an education to public school students from kindergarten through twelfth grade.” Campbell said if that money had to be divided up with a charter school

Italy opens Cup defense with a draw
Under the radar Owls split Sunday, Monday games MARTINSVILLE, Va. — After giving up a late rally Sunday night to Asheboro, it was Forest City’s turn to spark a late rally in their 4-1 win over the Martinsville Mustangs Monday night at Hooker Field. Will Skinner had the gamewinning RBI triple in the top of the eighth inning on a fly ball that was just out of reach of the diving center fielder Matt McGovern with two outs, to score second baseman Colin Durborow from first base. Forest City plated a couple of more runs in the ninth to seal the deal. Skinner went 3-for-4 and was a home run shy of hitting for the cycle. Seth Cutler-Voltz looked sharp in his first start of the season for the Forest City Owls, tossing 7.1 innings and spraying seven hits and allowing the only Martinsville run. Chase Boruff came in to retire the side in order in the ninth to notch his fifth save after Brett Stackhouse relieved CutlerVoltz in the eighth inning. Stackhouse was able to work out of trouble by striking out the Mustangs’ first baseman Jeff Forgerson with two runners on. On Sunday, Ryan Arrowood’s perfect mark in CPL play and the Owls 18-game home win streak both came to an end. The Asheboro Copperheads (7-8) scored two runs in the eighth to upend the Owls, 3-1. The loss spoiled a 12-K performance by Arrowood, who had won his first 11 games as an Owl. In addition, Asheboro became the first club to beat the Owls at McNair Field since July 15, 2009. It was also the Copperheads who beat the Owls, 10-2, on that day. In between, the Owls won 18 straight, including four home playoff games in the Petitt Cup.
Big 12 bounces back, lives to play again AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Staring at extinction, the Big 12 is once again in play. The beleaguered conference made a rousing comeback Monday, when Texas declined an invitation to join the Pac-10 and decided to stay in the Big 12. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M quickly followed the Longhorns by recommitting to the conference after commissioner Dan Beebe convinced his members they would make more money in television and media deals in a 10-team Big 12 then in a 16-team Pac-10.

Carolina Panthers’ Jimmy Clausen throws a pass during a summer training session practice for the NFL football team in Charlotte Monday.
Clausen enjoying some time out of the limelight CHARLOTTE (AP) — Aside from the day a limousine was parked near the practice field and a few people jokingly asked if it was for him, Carolina rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen has avoided the spotlight in his first two months in the NFL. Veteran QB Matt Moore’s promotion to starter has garnered plenty of attention. The uncertain future of coach John Fox, the competition to replace departed defensive end Julius Peppers, linebacker Thomas Davis’ knee injury and receiver Muhsin Muhammad’s retirement have all produced more headlines than the Panthers’ second-round pick. It’s new territory for Clausen, who has spent most of his life as the main attraction. Now he’s simply a rookie running the second- and third-team offenses. “It’s great,” Clausen insisted
Monday. “This is what I was born to do, play the game of football. God has obviously gifted me with a special talent. I’m just trying to come out each and every day and just get better at all the little things.” After questions about his attitude caused him to slip from a sure top-10 pick in the draft all the way to the 48th selection. Clausen has spent most of the past month of voluntary workouts focusing solely on getting adjusted to the NFL game. This is where Clausen was destined to be for some time. He was a record-breaking high school star in California. He arrived at a news conference to announce his college coach in a limo. He was a cocky, three-year starter at Notre Dame before leaving school a year early. Please see Clausen, Page 9
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Defending champion Italy was far from proving itself to be a credible contender for a second straight World Cup title Monday, and the flying form of the Netherlands never really got off the ground. The Italians, who came into the World Cup in South Africa with an aging squad and questions about whether they could again win consecutive tournaments as they did in 1934 and ‘38, were held to a 1-1 draw by Paraguay in Group F in Cape Town. The two-time finalist Dutch struggled to get the offense moving at Soccer City but still managed to earn a 2-0 win over Denmark in Group E. In the other Group E match, Keisuke Honda scored to lead Japan over Cameroon 1-0 in Bloemfontein. Associated Press Antolin Italy’s Daniele De Alcaraz gave Rossim, center, celeParaguay the brates with fellow team lead at the members after scoring Green Point a goal during the World Stadium with Cup group F soccer a header in the match between Italy and Paraguay Monday. 39th minute of the rainy Group F match, and Daniele De Rossi equalized for Italy from close range in the 63rd. “The biggest regret is the result,” Italy coach Marcello Lippi said. “They only approached the goal once and they scored. We reacted well but you’ve got to win games likes these.” Italy, however, played the second half without goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who left the game with back a problem. Buffon said the problem was with his sciatic nerve. “I hope he’s back for the next game but that will be up to the doctors,” Lippi said. In Johannesburg, Dirk Kuyt scored one goal for the Dutch, who came into the tournament in South Africa expecting to show the world how to play beautiful, free-flowing football. But the other goal came off an unfortunate mishap when Denmark defender Simon Poulsen headed a ball off the back of teammate Daniel Agger and into the net. “We wanted to play beautiful football but we lost the ball,” Netherlands coach Bert Van Marwijk said. “(But) from time to time you could see how good we can be.” The Netherlands took the lead against Denmark in the 46th minute when Poulsen tried to clear a cross from Robin van Persie but instead headed it off Agger’s back and into the net. “I was just thinking, this can’t be hap Please see Cup, Page 9

Leading Alabama by seven runs with two outs in the ninth inning, the Tigers frittered away most of the cushion before reliever Will Lamb got Jake Smith to fly out to finish off an 8-6 victory in the deciding game of the NCAA Clemson Super Regional. Smith, who homered in the previous two games in the series, came to the plate with the tying run at second base. “It was full of drama,” said Clemson third baseman John Hinson, who put the Tigers on top for good with a two-run homer — his 17th of the season — in the second. “The whole season has been full of drama, but we’ve been able to stay together as a team.” “It’s always been a little tough for us,” said Clemson coach Jack Leggett, whose team has lost 10 one-run games and rebounded from a lateseason slump to sweep Florida State and claim the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Atlantic Division title. The Tigers (42-23) will take on Arizona State in their first game at the College World Series. Dominic Leone (3-1) allowed only one unearned run and three hits in 5 2/3 innings for the Tigers. Fellow freshman Richie Shaffer hit two home runs. The third Clemson pitcher in the ninth, Lamb earned his second save of the season. Clemson had dominated the Tide and standout right-hander Nathan Kilcrease, scoring eight straight runs after the Crimson Tide (42-25) scored first in the opening inning. The Tigers pounded out six runs on 11 hits in five innings against Kilcrease (8-3). Meanwhile, Leone and reliever Alex Frederick held the Tide at bay for eight innings. Brett Booth started Alabama’s ninth-inning rally with an opposite-field, two-run homer just inside the foul pole in right off Kevin Brady. The Tide followed with three straight hits and a walk by Ross Wilson. Then Tiger shortstop Brad Miller allowed a routine grounder by Clay Jones to scoot under him into left field. Leggett brought in Lamb, a lefty, to face the right-handed Smith, who hit 15 homers this season.
Cards bop Mariners ST. LOUIS (AP) — Albert Pujols took one off the noggin for his team on a perfect day at the plate and stand-in cleanup hitter Ryan Ludwick homered to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Seattle Mariners 9-3 on Monday night. Pujols singled three times and walked twice as the Cardinals bounced back after totaling 19 runs during a 1-5 West Coast swing that dropped them out of the NL Central lead. Plus, he stayed in the game after a throw to the plate glanced off his helmet ear flap in the fifth. Ludwick finished with four RBIs and Adam Wainwright (9-4) pitched into the eighth after a shaky start. Matt Holliday also was a success batting second for the first time in his career, getting two hits and scoring twice. The Mariners have lost six of seven, fizzling after Ichiro Suzuki hit the second pitch of the game for his 31st career leadoff homer — tying Chuck Knoblauch for 10th place. Suzuki also doubled in the eighth for his major league-leading 31st multihit game.

United States’ Clint Dempsey, center, celebrates after scoring a goal during the World Cup group C soccer match between England and the United States at Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg, South Africa, on Saturday, Associated Press
Dempsey wasn’t sure goal good
PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Clint Dempsey wasn’t even sure his goal counted in the U.S.-England opener at the World Cup. His 25-yard drive bounced twice and into the arms of goalkeeper Robert Green, then squirted out in soccer’s version of hot potato. “I didn’t know exactly that it went all the way to net or not, but I just wanted to see what the linesman was doing,” Dempsey said. “I saw the linesman running back with his flag, so I knew that they counted the goal and I just went and celebrated with the whole team on the bench.” Dempsey’s goal tied the score Saturday and gave the United States a 1-1 draw; now it’s on to Friday’s game with Group C leader Slovenia, which opened with a 1-0 win over Algeria. A victory would push the United States toward the knockout phase for the first time since 2002 and help erase the lingering memories of the 2-1 loss to Ghana that eliminated the Americans four years ago. The 27-year-old midfielder from Nacogdoches, Texas, is becoming one of the most accomplished goalscorers in American soccer history. Having also scored against Ghana in 2006, he joined Brian McBride

pening,” Poulsen said of the freak goal. Kuyt added the second goal in the 85th when he tapped in a rebound off the post from close range. The Netherlands reached the 1974 and ‘78 World Cup finals, but lost both times. Heading into this year’s World Cup, the Dutch finished the qualifying campaign with a perfect record. In Bloemfontein, Japan won its first match at the World Cup on foreign soil when Honda scored in the 39th from a curling cross by Daisuke Matsu.
(1998 and 2002) as the only U.S. players with goals in multiple World Cups. His out-of-nowhere 20-yard chip against Juventus in March, which put Fulham in the Europa League quarterfinals, is the most inventive big-goal score by an American in Europe, one that became instantly famous at Craven Cottage and caused the club to sell commemorative T-shirts. This is not your average American trying to make it in the world’s game. “He is still a player with some flair, some attacking ability, some creativity, a guy with a great competitive edge and somebody that has a nose to get goals and an aggressiveness in the box to score, and score different kinds of goals,” U.S. coach Bob Bradley said. Known as “Deuce” for the rap recording he once cut, Dempsey developed his early soccer skills playing with Mexican immigrants. He played club soccer in Dallas, attracted attention and went to Furman, where he played alongside current national team midfielder Ricardo Clark. After playing for Major League Soccer’s New England Revolution from 2004-6, Fulham acquired him for a $4 million transfer fee. He scored “I found a good position and the ball was very good,” Honda said. “I just told myself to be calm to make it because recently we have missed good chances, so I wanted to make it absolute today.” Through 11 games, there have been eight clean sheets, with the only matches where both teams scored coming in 1-1 draws between the United States and England, between South Africa and Mexico, and Italy Paraguay. Through Monday, no winning team had allowed a goal. The Italy-Paraguay match at Green Point Stadium in Cape Town started on time despite a wage dispute between stewards and a security contractor. Police
six goals in his first full season with the Cottagers, eight in 2008-9 and nine last season. Many big goals, too, like the one against Liverpool in May 2007 that pretty much ensured Fulham wouldn’t be relegated to a lower division. “I think I’ve become more of a complete player,” he said. “I think a weakness before I went over there was my defense, and I think that I’ve shown that, you know, now that that’s a strength of mine. And I think the speed of play in which I play, being able to see passes early, I think that’s improved being over there.” Paired with Landon Donovan on the midfield wings, Dempsey and Donovan give the U.S. soccer team much of their offense. Last year, Dempsey scored in consecutive games against Egypt, Spain and Brazil at the Confederations Cup as the U.S. reached a FIFA men’s outdoor final for the first time.
learned that firsthand in what had been shaping up as a dream first season with JGR. He won 21 races spanning NASCAR’s top three series that year. He was so unstoppable it seemed he could win anywhere. That included Infineon Raceway, a road course that had vexed Busch every year and the first two days of his visit there in 2008. But his No. 18 crew threw everything at the Toyota that weekend, and Busch broke through for his first victory on a road course. It’s similar to what Hamlin and his No. 11 team experienced at Michigan last weekend when their car was junk through two days of practice. Crew chief Mike Ford made significant changes heading into race day, and the result was a rocket ship that built leads of nearly 10 seconds. In winning, Hamlin proved he’s a legitimate title contender. He’s just got to avoid the same pitfalls that sabotaged Busch. And, so far, Hamlin seems on the right track. For starters, JGR seems much improved. Busch and Hamlin have a combined seven victories through 15 Cup races this season and are second and third in the standings. Busch trails series leader Kevin Harvick by 22 points while Hamlin is 47 back. Meanwhile, third JGR driver Joey Logano is showing steady improvement in his second season in the series. With four consecutive finishes of 13th or better, he’s 17th in the standings. That companywide consistency can make JGR only stronger in the long run and when the stakes are highest — something the organization struggled with in 2008. When Busch lost the championship, he had a mechanical problem in the Chase opener and a motor failure the next week. Last season, when Hamlin was making a run at the title, he had two engine failures in the Chase. JGR knows how to win championships — the team did it in 2000 with Bobby Labonte and in 2002 and 2005 with Tony Stewart. The trick is figuring out how to do it with more than one contending driver without sacrificing anything in equipment reliability. That’s where Ford comes in. He is as even-tempered as they come in the garage, and he does a tremendous job of keeping his crew focused. Few outside distractions are allowed inside the No. 11 hauler, which sometimes seems as if it’s operating as a single-car team. So long as Ford can keep his guys functioning with that same mindset, the No. 11 team should be able to ride the ups and downs that go with a title race. The last part of the puzzle is Hamlin, and how he handles the intensity of racing for a championship.
Clausen Continued from Page 7
If Clausen is still peeved over his slide in the draft, he was hiding it well on Monday. He was focusing more on how he feels Carolina is a good fit because he’s running the same pro-style offense that former coach Charlie Weis used at Notre Dame. Panthers offensive coordinator Jeff Davidson worked in New England when Weis was the offensive coordinator for the Patriots.

Nation Today Killer gets life sentence
STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) — A Sunday school teacher who pleaded guilty to kidnapping and murdering a neighbor girl in Northern California made a tearful apology to the victim’s family Monday as she was sentenced to prison for the rest of her life. The punishment came after Melissa Huckaby, 29, reached a plea deal with prosecutors that took the death penalty and the possibility of parole off the table in the killing of 8-year-old Sandra Cantu of Tracy, whose body was found in a suitcase pulled from an irrigation pond.
Huckaby offered no motive for the 2009 killing as she addressed the girl’s mother, Maria Chavez. The victim was a playmate of Huckaby’s daughter. “I still cannot understand why I did what I did. This is a question I will struggle with for the rest of my life.” She said Sandra “did not suffer, and I did not sexually molest her.” “I’m asking you, Maria, for your forgiveness,” Huckaby said. “I can’t imagine forgiving someone who
harmed my daughter. I hope someday you can forgive me.”
Robber drops the loot PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh police are searching for a butterfingered convenience store robber who got away with seven packs of cigarettes but dropped all but $1 of the money he stole. Police say the man robbed the UniMart in the city’s Troy Hill section at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday. Police say the man wore a ski mask and ball cap and pointed a handgun at a clerk who gave him $66. A customer was in the store at the time, but nobody was hurt.
Man drowns in Hartwell WALHALLA, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina man has drowned while swimming in Lake Hartwell. Oconee County Coroner Karl Addis said Monday that 21-year-old Reginald Davis of Seneca drowned while swimming in about 12 feet of water in a cove on the lake. Rescue workers were called to the lake about 6 p.m. Sunday and found Davis about a half hour later.

Flash flooding rattles Oklahoma City drivers OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Flash flooding across the Oklahoma City area Monday stranded commuters on washed-out roads and prompted crews to send boats into inundated neighborhoods, rescuing dozens of residents and motorists who sought safety in trees and on rooftops. One boat carrying three rescuers to aid a 17-year-old girl — seen on aerial television footage struggling to stay above water by grasping at tree branches — sank in swift-moving floodwaters on the city’s north side, said Battalion Fire Chief Kirk Wright. All four were able to safely stand on branches in a group of trees and were rescued by a second boat, Deputy Fire Chief Marc Woodard said. No injuries were immediately reported across the city. Portions of three interstates and numerous thoroughfares in and out of the metro area were closed. Drivers were warned to stay off area roadways, Oklahoma Police Lt. Gamille Hardin said. Dozens of stranded motorists were rescued from vehicles in the northern suburb of Edmond, where resident Ryan Hearne saw at least one man who abandoned his vehicle on a submerged bridge for a nearby tree before being rescued. “The boat came through the floodwaters, and they grabbed him out of the tree and got him out of there,” Hearne said. “You couldn’t see the
LANGLEY, Ark. (AP) — Before a wall of water swept through a narrow gorge in the Ouachita Mountains, worried forecasters sent warnings four times in a single hour to advise of the potential for flash flooding. But those warnings, issued in the middle of the night, never reached vacationing families in a remote campground in the floodwaters’ path. The camp had no ranger on-site, no cell phone service and no sirens, and deputies at the nearest sheriff’s departments were at least an hour’s drive away. By the time authorities could have reached the campsites, the Little Missouri River would have already risen by 14 feet and started to cut off low-water crossings. As searchers on Monday recovered

Aerial footage showed one northside Oklahoma City neighborhood where water tinged brick red from nearby Chisholm Creek sat hip-deep in some places and reached the tops of garages in others. Crews ferried families from their homes on small boats and jet skis. At least one person floated his way around on an innertube and other residents gathered in a garage as water worked its way up the driveway.

bridge at all. You couldn’t see his vehicle. It was completely overrun with water.” A temporary shelter for displaced residents was set up at a local elementary school, said police spokeswoman Glynda Chu. “We’ve got a very dangerous situation all over Edmond because of flooding,” Chu said. “We had one officer who came in and rescued three carloads of people with families, including children and their pets.” Anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of rain an hour had fallen in the Oklahoma City area early Monday, and the National Weather Service said a few spots saw nearly 10 inches. Lightning knocked out electricity to some areas. Weather service meteorologist Forrest Mitchell said showers and thunderstorms hit the area almost continually for the better part of six hours Monday morning. More rain was expected later Monday.
We miss you very much, but you are alive and loved in our hearts and our minds. You always helped me with everything I did, you meant more to me than words can say. Thank you for being a great husband and father. We will always love you Brenda, Tracy, David, Regina, Davey, Josh & Lacy
the body of a 20th person killed in the raging torrent, attention shifted to preventing similar disasters in the future. Federal and state officials planned to conduct a review to determine what factors contributed to the disaster. On Monday, state police found the body of a young girl and were confident she was the final victim. Authorities planned to continue a limited search Tuesday morning. The weather service first issued a flash flood watch before noon Thursday. But by 2 a.m. Friday, it issued a flash flood warning, which was simultaneously broadcast via computer to law enforcement throughout Arkansas.

Six-week slide in gas prices may be ending
NEW YORK (AP) — It looks like the nearly sixweek run in lower gasoline prices is just about over. Gasoline prices have dropped about 8 percent since hitting $2.93 per gallon on May 6 on the back of lower oil prices. Pump prices fell 0.3 cent to a national average of $2.698 a gallon Monday, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. Prices are now about the same as the 2009 peak. “We may wobble down another nickel or up a nickel, but what you see now on the street probably will be close to what you pay for July 4th weekend,” said OPIS’ Tom Kloza. Kloza expects that prices likely will climb beginning in July as hurricane season starts in earnest and as new investments are made in crude for the third quarter. Investors worry that hurricanes can damage crude and natural gas production in the Gulf of Mexico and refineries along the Gulf coast. Shutdowns can send prices higher. Gasoline prices have dropped 2.6 cents in the past week and are 17.9 cents below where they were a month ago. Prices are 3.5 cents higher than a year ago. Motorists have benefited as oil prices fell since reaching an 18-month-high of $87.15 a barrel in early May. Worries over the European debt crisis, a big drop in stock prices and a stronger dollar helped push oil below $70. Prices have since come back, with benchmark crude for July delivery rising $1.34 to settle at $75.12 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Obama strikes optimistic tone on Gulf recovery
Associated Press/The Sun Herald, Tim Isbell
President Barack Obama and Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen arrive at Trent Lott Combat Readiness Training Center in Gulfport, Miss., Monday morning. Obama was making a two day trip to Mississippi, Alabama and Florida to learn more about the effects of the BP oil spill on local businesses.
signs informing patrons they are not serving Gulf seafood. The council expressed concern that this leaves the door open for competitors, including international ones, to enter the market. Obama portrayed his trip through Mississippi, Alabama and Florida as vital preparation for Tuesday night’s address and for Wednesday’s confrontation with BP executives, with the ruin brought to Gulf businesses and lives giving him valuable evidence. He found it on a vacant beach in Mississippi, where tourists were scared off from the still-pristine stretch by the mere threat of oil that has lapped the state’s barrier islands. He found it in neighboring Alabama, where the muck has come ashore and stuck. And he found it over lunch, in the testimony of local hotel and restaurant owners who are hurting badly from the loss of customers. “We’re gathering up facts, stories right now so that we have an absolutely clear understanding about how we can best present to BP the need to make sure that individuals and businesses are dealt with in a fair manner and a prompt manner,” the president said. The Oval Office address, Obama’s first, is intended

Asked how much oil is still being released daily despite the containment efforts, Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen said it remained unclear. “That’s the $100,000 question,” he said on Air Force One.

To further allay fears, the president announced a “comprehensive, coordinated and multi-agency initiative” to protect the seafood industry that is the pride and economic engine of the region. The effort is to include increased facility inspections and monitoring of fish caught just outside the contaminated zone. “This is important for consumers who need to know that their food is safe, but it’s also important for the fish-
ermen and processors who need to be able to sell their products with confidence,” Obama said. “So let me be clear: Seafood from the Gulf today is safe to eat, but we need to make sure that it stays that way.” The administration released few details. A statement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Food and Drug Administration detailed current efforts to close waters and inspect seafood but did not describe new initiatives. Underscoring the problem, a council representing commercial and recreational fishermen met Monday in nearby Gulfport, Miss., with federal officials from the National Marine Fisheries Service and the NOAA. They complained the government has not taken enough samples of seafood. Dangerous toxins have not been found by any of the federal agencies taking fish and seafood samples. However, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council said the agencies are slow to publish their findings — NOAA has yet to publish any — and the lack of information and transparency is raising concern with the wider public. Already, the council said, restaurants are putting up

took measures to cut costs in the weeks before the well blowout as it dealt with problems. A company engineer described the doomed rig as a “nightmare well.” The comment by BP engineer Brian Morel came in an e-mail April 14, six days before the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion that killed 11 people and began the nation’s worst environmental disaster. On the Gulf Coast on Monday, one focus of Obama’s remarks was the region’s seafood, which faces growing doubts around the country but which Obama pronounced safe. He noted he had some for lunch — including mini crab cakes, fried shrimp and shrimp salad sandwiches — and found it “delicious.”
to detail specific and potentially expensive new steps for responding to the spill. That is expected to include an ambitious plan to restore the fragile Gulf Coast ecosystem, already battered before the leak. The president also will argue for passage of comprehensive energy and climate change legislation. It’s a case the president has been making repeatedly, and doing so from the Oval Office will put a much higher profile on one of his domestic priorities that has fallen by the wayside due to the difficult politics of the issue. On the victims’ compensation fund, White House spokesman Bill Burton said the administration and BP were “working out the particulars,” such as the amount to be placed in an escrow account and how it would be administered. The account would be run by an independent third-party entity, as Obama has demanded, Burton said. And it would run into “the billions of dollars,” although he wouldn’t give a specific amount. “We’re confident that this is a critical way in which we’re going to be able to help individuals and businesses in the Gulf area become whole again,” the spokesman said. The administration had said Obama was ready to force BP, if necessary, to set up the fund, and Burton said Obama aides are “confident we have the legal authority” to do that. BP’s board was meeting Monday in London to discuss deferring its second-quarter dividend and putting the money into escrow until the company’s liabilities from the spill are known. Government estimates put the total amount of crude spilled into the Gulf of Mexico at between 40.7 million and 114.5 million gallons, far outstripping the Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska. A containment cap has been placed over the damaged well, siphoning off some of the oil spewing out from 5,000 feet below the ocean’s surface.

THEODORE, Ala. (AP) — In a newly optimistic tone, President Barack Obama promised Monday that “things are going to return to normal” along the stricken Gulf Coast and the region’s fouled waters will be in even better shape than before the catastrophic BP oil spill. He declared Gulf seafood safe to eat and said his administration is redoubling inspections and monitoring to make sure it stays that way. And his White House said Monday it had wrested apparent agreement from BP PLC to set up an independent, multibillion-dollar compensation fund for people and businesses suffering from the spill’s effects. He declared, “I am confident that we’re going to be able to leave the Gulf Coast in better shape than it was before.” That pledge was reminiscent of George W. Bush’s promise to rebuild the region “even better and stronger” than before Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Bush could not make good on that promise, and Obama did not spell out how he would fulfill his. With Obama hoping to convince a frightened Gulf Coast and a skeptical nation that he is in command, he is marshaling the tools at a president’s disposal: a two-day visit via Air Force One, helicopter and boat in the region, a prime-time speech Tuesday night from the symbolically important stage of the Oval Office and a face-to-face White House showdown Wednesday with the executives of the oil company that leased the rig that exploded April 20 and led to the leak of millions of gallons of coast-devastating crude. From an enormous waterside staging facility here, one of 17 where cleanup crews ready themselves and equipment to attack the spill, Obama mixed optimism about the ultimate result with warnings that the recovery could take a while. “I can’t promise folks here in Theodore or across the Gulf Coast that the oil will be cleaned up overnight. It will not be,” he said, after encouraging hard-hatted workers as they hosed off and repaired oil-blocking boom. “It’s going to be painful for a lot of folks.” In Washington, documents released by a congressional committee indicated that BP

Teen plans short life after eavesdropping Dear Abby: I’m 13 and I have cancer. My mom thinks I don’t know, but I do. I heard the doctor say I was better off without any meds. I have made a choice not to fall in love, and not to tell even my closest friend that I’m only going to live to be about 25-30 years old. My friend can’t understand why I am always sad and have never wanted a boyfriend. How do I tell her to stop advising me to be happy and cheer up, and to someday open my heart to love without telling her about my short life? — Made My Choice Dear Made Your Choice: If ever I heard about a girl who needs to have a talk with her mother, it is you. I don’t know what you think you overheard the doctor telling her, but it is very possible that the “meds” he was talking about had nothing to do with cancer. I would hate to see you ruin your teen years because you jumped to a conclusion based on a misunderstanding — so please speak up NOW! Dear Abby: Today, June 15, is World Elder Abuse Day. On this day, communities all over the USA and the world will sponsor events to shed light on the growing and tragic issue of elder abuse. Your readers, young and old, should be aware that the U.S. Administration on Aging estimates that as many as 5 million seniors are abused each year in the United
Dear Abby Abigail van Buren
States. And this is only the tip of the iceberg, since only an estimated one in five cases of abuse is ever reported to the authorities. Elder abuse can be financial, physical, emotional or sexual, and it also includes people who are neglected. But elder abuse is preventable — public awareness and education can help people learn the warning signs. For more information on what readers can do to join the fight against elder abuse, visit www.centeronelderabuse. org. Thank you, Abby, for all you do to help keep our seniors safe. — Laura Mosqueda, M.D., Geriatrics, University of California at Irvine. Dear Dr. Mosqueda: If publicizing your message and your website will help some of these vulnerable hidden victims, I am more than pleased to help. Readers, the elderly — unlike child victims of abuse — can slip through the cracks because too often they become invisible. Either they drop out of sight, or no one suspects what is going on until it is too late.
Psoriasis caused by strep throat Dear Dr. Gott: My 10-year-old grandson has had guttate psoriasis for more than a year. His dermatologist said it was caused by strep throat. Although the strep throat is no longer a problem, the psoriasis definitely is. Last summer, it faded with exposure to sunlight. Until February, it wasn’t too bad, but for the past several months it has been terrible. The red spots are literally all over him, even on the bottoms of his feet. He is using a steroid cream, which seems to have little or no effect, and takes Concerta for ADHD. Can you offer any suggestions? Dear Reader: The disorder presents most frequently in people younger than 30 and usually follows strep throat, bacterial infections, sunburn, burns, insect bites, stress and the ingestion of some medications. A physician might suggest exposure to the sun or prescribe antibiotics, cortisone creams, oral steroids, moisturizers, dandruff shampoos, prescription medications with vitamins A or D, or phototherapy. The Concerta that your grandson has been prescribed carries many
PUZZLE
Ask Dr. Gott Dr. Peter M. Gott side effects, including allergic reaction (rash, hives, etc.), sore throat, convulsions and unwanted behavioral changes. Whether it is related to his psoriasis or not, I don’t know. Is there any correlation between the time he was diagnosed with guttate psoriasis and was placed on the medication? His parents may choose to speak with his pediatrician to determine whether another drug might be substituted or if he can be switched to an herbal for control of his ADHD. I am not making light of his diagnosis, nor am I endorsing any specific product, but I can report that ginkgo biloba, lemon balm, hawthorn and lobelia have been used successfully by some but should be used only under the direction of a qualified physician.
IN THE STARS
Your Birthday, June 15;
Because your leadership qualities are likely to be far more obvious to both you and others in the year ahead, you will be up front in your activities. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Your flexible personality gives you greater emancipation. CANCER (June 21-July 22) - It is likely to be the little things that will be far more important. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Whatever you say to one friend about another will be broadcast. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - An important goal can be accomplished if you are careful. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Although history has a way of repeating itself, trade on that experience. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Your reasoning powers can give you an edge over your competition. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Step back a few paces when you have to deal with a complicated issue. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - All of your efforts are likely to be recognized and evaluated. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - What makes you such a hit at social gatherings is that you’ll know how to put others at ease. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - You’ll feel good about yourself if you first apply all the little finishing touches. ARIES (March 21-April 19) - If you get involved in a competitive activity, depend on your brains to help you win, not your muscle. Let the other guy try to battle his/her way out using nothing but brawn. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Be secure with making small gains instead of depending on beating the huge odds of scoring big in one instance. Lots of little coins can add up.

nation/world World Today Gunmen ambush Mexican police MEXICO CITY (AP) — Gunmen killed 10 federal police officers Monday in an ambush near a high school in western Mexico, staging one of the deadliest attacks on security forces since the government stepped up its fight with drug cartels. The latest in a series of mass slayings came as President Felipe Calderon defended his crackdown on traffickers in an essay on his office’s website. He vowed he won’t back down despite criticism that violence has only surged since he deployed thousands of troops and federal police in late 2006 seeking to crush the cartels.
An Uzbek woman who identified herself only as Khadicha, and who fled from the southern Kyrgyz city of Osh after her husband was killed and house burned down stands in line in no-man’s-land near the Uzbek village of Jalal-Kuduk waiting for permission to cross into Uzbekistan Monday.

Associated Press
Uzbeks fleeing Kyrgyzstan
JALAL-KUDUK, Uzbekistan (AP) — Standing behind barbed wire with other Uzbek refugees, the woman tearfully raised her hands in a Muslim prayer for her dead husband. She had left his body at their burned-down house in southern Kyrgyzstan while fleeing ethnic riots that reduced much of a major city to ruins. “He’s lying there unburied,” lamented the woman, who identified herself only as Khadicha, a doctor in her 50s, as she waited Monday in a no-man’s land to cross into Uzbekistan. She is among tens of thousands of minority Uzbeks who have fled the deadliest violence Kyrgyzstan has seen since the two ethnic groups fought over land 20 years ago as Moscow lost its grip on the former Soviet republic in Central Asia. In the southern Kyrgyz city of Osh, three miles (five kilometers) from the border with Uzbekistan, gunfire pierced the air and fires raged for a fourth day. Officials said 138 people were killed and nearly 1,800 wounded since the violence began last week, but an Uzbek community leader said at least 200 Uzbeks had already been buried, and many bodies had
not been recovered from charred homes and businesses. The United States and Russia, which both have military bases in northern Kyrgyzstan — away from the violence — worked on humanitarian aid airlifts, as did the United Nations. The U.N. Security Council late Monday condemned the violence in Kyrgyzstan and called “for calm, a return of rule of law and order, and a peaceful resolution of differences.” The council, in a press statement, noted the need to support the urgent delivery of humanitarian assistance and expressed support for the efforts of Secretary- General Ban Ki-moon and regional organizations “to deal in an appropriate way with the situation.” Uzbekistan hastily set up camps to handle the flood of refugees, most of them women, children and the elderly. They were hungry and frightened, with accounts of Uzbek girls being raped and Kyrgyz snipers shooting at them as they rushed to the border. Aid workers said many had suffered gunshots. Kyrgyzstan’s interim government, which took over when former President Kurmanbek Bakiyev was ousted in an April uprising in the impoverished
country, has been unable to stop the violence and accused Bakiyev’s family of instigating it to halt a June 27 referendum on a new constitution. Uzbeks — a minority in Kyrgyzstan as a whole but whose numbers rival the Kyrgyz in the south — have backed the interim government. Many Kyrgyz in the south have supported Bakiyev. Kyrgyz security chief Kenishbek Duishebayev said Monday evening on television that Bakiyev’s younger son, Maxim, was arrested earlier in the day in Britain when he flew into a Hampshire airport on a private plane. Prosecutors, who placed him on an international wanted list in May, allege that companies he owned avoided almost $80 million in taxes on aviation fuel sold to suppliers of the U.S. air base near the capital of Bishkek that is a crucial supply hub for the coalition fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan. The violent protests that led to President Bakiyev’s ouster were fed by anger over corruption permeating his extended family, which grew wealthy and powerful under his rule. The new government has been under pressure to bring them to justice.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Palestinian gunmen opened fire on a police vehicle in the West Bank on Monday, killing an Israeli police officer and wounding two others, police said, in a rare flareup of violence after months of calm. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the incident occurred near Hebron, a volatile city in the southern West Bank where hardline Jewish settlers live in fortified enclaves amid tens of thousands of Palestinians. There was no claim of responsibility. But Rosenfeld said police were treating the incident as an attack by Palestinian militants, and were searching the area for suspects.
EU steps up pressure on Israel JERUSALEM (AP) — The European Union on Monday called Israel’s closure of Gaza “unacceptable” and offered to play a role in opening the borders, as Israel appointed three Israeli experts and two foreign observers to a commission to investigate its deadly raid on a Gazabound flotilla. The EU move added to the intense pressure Israel has faced to lift the blockade since nine pro-Palestinian activists died in clashes after Israeli commandos rappelled aboard one of the aid ships last month. The three-year closure has withheld all but the most basic supplies from Gaza’s 1.5 million Palestinian residents.
S. Korea top army officer retires SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s president called Monday for greater military readiness and a stern response to North Korea over the sinking of a warship or risk a repeat attack, as his top military officer stood down over the deadly incident. South Korea has taken a slew of punitive measures against North Korea — including resuming propaganda operations — after blaming Pyongyang for torpedoing the South Korean warship Cheonan in March. Forty-six South Korean sailors died.

New Iraqi parliament holds symbolic session BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s new parliament convened for just under 20 minutes Monday in what was little more than a symbolic inaugural session because of unresolved differences over key government positions — a precarious political limbo three months after inconclusive elections. The sides are sharply divided over the formation of a new government, and analysts and some lawmakers have warned that a decision could still be months away. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is battling to keep his job after the rival Sunnibacked Iraqiya list narrowly won the most seats in the March 7 balloting.
