Seven students from Western Vance High School were arrested Wednesday following a fight in the parking lot of Southern Vance High School. All seven were charged with misdemeanor simple affray and misdemeanor disorderly conduct. Each was given a secured bond of $2,000 and court date of Jan. 5. Those charged were: • Sha’Keema Hargrove, 17, of 1261 Americal Road Lot 4. • Tu’Keisha Person, 18, of 1261 Americal Road Lot 4. • Elvis Morgan III, 16, of 1009 Harriett St. • James Kearney, 17, of 92 Casei Lane. • Janequa Gregory, 16, of 160 S.

A proposed redistricting plan that would take effect when the new elementary school on Garrett Road opens has been released. A name for the school, shown in this Dec. 3 photo, has not been chosen.

New districts for elementary schools proposed BY AL WHELESS DAILY DISPATCH WRITER

Next February, the Vance County School Board is expected to receive the proposed redistricting plan recently completed in connection with the new elementary school to open next August. Those who will attend classes in the $13 million complex off Garrett Road will include all of the students who went to Clark Street Elementary, which will be closing at the end of

A related $15,000 reassignment study was done by the Institute for Transportation Research and Education at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. The results include a map and written descriptions showing the attendance zones for the

new elementary school and three others: Aycock, L.B. Yancey and Zeb Vance. Margaret Ellis, a member of the Vance County School Board, said in August of 2008 that replacing Clark Street School had been on the minds of the panel since the 1980s. A ground-breaking ceremony for the new facility — which will hold 773 students and will contain 95,000 square feet of space — was held April 30.

Henderson firefighters Joel Bartholomew and Lt. David Stanley look around the kitchen of a home on Shank Street while conducting a safety inspection Thursday morning. Members of the Henderson Fire Department are going door to door throughout the city passing out fire safety literature and offering no obligation safety inspections.

Door-to-door fire safety inspection City firefighters offer to help you prevent tragedies in home BY AL WHELESS DAILY DISPATCH WRITER

Henderson Fire Department personnel went door-to-door on Shank Street Thursday morning to give residents heating safety tips to protect them and their homes this Winter. The education effort in the city was prompted by three deaths during recent weeks. Chief Danny Wilkerson said alternative methods of heating,

such as a fireplace or the misuse of portable electric heaters, “could lead to fires resulting in an increased loss of life and greater property damage.” Higher fuel costs could result in people seeking less expensive methods for heating, such as the use of fire places or electric heaters. “While these methods are safe, many residents may not have used these sources in years,” Wilkerson said. “This creates a situation conducive to a large number of house fires this heating season,” he said. According to the National Fire Protection Association,

Wilkerson added, space heaters — whether portable or stationary — accounted for 30 percent of the home-heating fires and 73 percent of home-heating fire deaths in 2006. “In addition to protecting lives through education, the Henderson Fire Department will be recording address information to be store in computer software,” Wilkerson said. “This software will be used to improve emergency response.” For more information, contact the department at (252) 438-7315.

The Zoning Board of Adjustment, before granting a special use permit for a future all voluntarily-run homeless shelter for men at First Presbyterian Church, extensively sought details from the chairman of the future shelter’s task force. “This is not a drunk tank. This is not substance abuse treatment. This is not mental health crisis intervention,” Joel Rice told board member Cathy Ringley, who asked whether there would be testing to determine whether a homeless man approaching the shelter has used illegal drugs. Rice and fellow shelter organizers said the plan is based on simplicity: Any man who is homeless, who registers between 5:30 p.m.-7 p.m. to stay that night and who is willing to abide by the shelter’s rules will be able to enter. Rice made clear to the board that he and fellow shelter organizers understand there will be men who may want to push the limits of the rules. And Rice said those men will not be allowed to stay in the shelter. Meals will not be cooked in the shelter, but will be prepared by volunteers and brought in, Rice said. The plan in the evening, Rice said, is to serve chili, soup or stew, with bread and water. The plan in the morning, Rice said, is to serve bagels and coffee, with the homeless men to be required to be out of the shelter by 6:30 a.m. Rice said that the shelter capacity will be no more than 20 and that on any given night nine PLEASE SEE SHELTER, PAGE 3A

A local minister cited unity, the likes of which he said he has never seen in any effort, as key to the organization of a future voluntarily-run homeless shelter for men at First Presbyterian Church. The Rev. Paul Baxley is past chairman of the Ministers Community Partnership, which has been working for approximately a year trying to develop a response to various challenges related to homelessness and poverty in Henderson and Vance County. The Zoning Board of Adjustment on Tuesday granted a special use permit for the future shelter, which will be in a basement on the First Presbyterian property, 222 Young St. Baxley has been senior pastor of First Baptist Church for six years and previously served First Baptist as an associate pastor from 1992-99. Baxley told the board before the vote for the permit that he is encouraged he and his fellow future shelter organizers will be providing the emergency service. “But, the other most hopeful sign about what

is before you today is this is the first time in my 13 years of knowledge of this community that Christians from the city and Christians from the county have stood together and said, ‘We’re for something’,� Baxley said, with emphasis. “This is the first time I know of that Christians who are African-American and Christians that are Caucasian in larger numbers have come together as one and said, ‘There’s something we can do together that we must come together and do’,� Baxley said. Baxley additionally cited the coming together of the faith-based community and the private sector and noted Maria Parham Medical Center Vice President of Operations Mickey Foster was in the audience. Maria Parham has agreed to provide laundry services and linen supplies and Fort Bragg has donated more than 40 cots. And Baxley thanked First Presbyterian for stepping forward in a courageous way and said he believes this says amazing things about the strength and vitality of the church’s congregation, history and leadership. “It’s inspiring. And it calls on other churches in this community to ask

ourselves the question: How can we step forward in a more excellent way?� Baxley said, adding that volunteers from nearly 10 churches are ready. “This is just the beginning of a journey,� Baxley said, noting that he and fellow shelter organizers may return to the board someday to ask for a special use permit for a more permanent location for a homeless shelter. Gateway Community Development Corp. Director Gary Morgan said people came to his office the previous winter seeking anything in terms of a place to stay. Morgan additionally told of people huddling together in abandoned houses. “And as we progress to redevelop this city, we have to touch every individual,� Morgan said. “We have to make sure that they count.� Of future personal involvement with the future shelter, Morgan said, “I’m a volunteer, too.� “Is it hard? Sure. Is it important? Yes. Is it necessary? Absolutely,� Morgan said. City Councilwoman Brenda Peace is pastor of Greater Little Zion Holiness Church and a member of the Ministers Commu-

nity Partnership. Peace told of an encounter a couple of years ago with a man she believed to be 18 or 19 and who had nowhere to go. And Peace said as she made phone calls, she realized the lack of a homeless shelter for men in Vance County and said the closest place she could obtain help for the man was in Raleigh or Durham. Peace noted that the women of her church are ready to prepare meals for the future shelter and that three men of her church are ready to volunteer their time. “And it’s something that’s so much needed,� Peace said. The Rev. Joseph Ratliff is pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church and is chairman of the Ministers Community Partnership. Ratliff urged the board to give a vote of confidence so he and fellow future shelter organizers can make a difference in the lives of those who are considered the least among the people, realizing, “They are our brothers. They are our fathers. They are our relatives. They are our friends.�

church sanctuary, Benze said. The future shelter has one front door and one door providing access to an alleyway. The board spent nearly 40 minutes asking questions and hearing from shelter organizers and advocates. The Planning Board at a Sept. 21 special meeting recommended changing wording in the zoning regulations to allow homeless shelters in OfficeInstitutional districts by

a special use permit to be approved by the Board of Adjustment. First Presbyterian, 222 Young St., is in an OI district. Homeless shelters have only been allowed in a Highway Commercial “A� district or an OfficeInstitutional “A� district by a special use permit. The City Council on Oct. 12 approved the Planning Board’s recommendation.

to 12 homeless men may sleep in the shelter, depending on the outdoor temperatures. The shelter only will be open during the cold weather season. Rice works as a homeless coordinator for the Five County Mental Health Authority and is chairman of the Five County Homeless Coalition. Board of Adjustment member Richard Brand wanted to know whether there is any potential limit on how many nights a homeless man could return to the shelter. “Remember, this is a work in progress,� Rice said. “Nothing is written in stone. We’re going to tweak it as we go along because we want to address that.� Rice, symbolically putting on his clinical services hat, said that a homeless man repeatedly staying in the shelter will certainly raise red flags. And Rice noted that he runs a homeless assistance program with funds to put people in housing. And Rice said he would like to have a program where a homeless man can be transitioned into receiving services and living in permanent housing. Of the future shelter, “It’s not intended to be a long-term place where someone can come and live for any length of time,� said First Presbyterian’s minister, the Rev. Keith Benze. The future shelter’s

location, which will be in a basement of the church property, is intended to be somewhat temporary, with the plans being to get the shelter operational until such time that the shelter could possibly be turned into its own entity, Benze said. Board member Joseph Brown asked about what kind of security would be in place. Benze said that the shelter doors will be locked at 7 p.m. and that trained volunteers will be with the homeless men all night. “At that point, we are not only protecting the men who are in the shelter, but we’re also protecting anyone who is outside of the shelter,� Benze said. Benze noted he does not believe the shelter organizers believe the homeless men will present any physical harm or security issues. And Benze noted the Police Department is ready to respond to any emergency calls. Under questioning from City Attorney John Zollicoffer, Benze said there will have to be plumbing renovations to the future shelter location. There is no direct access from the location of the future shelter to the

In this Feb. 23 file photo, a home is seen in San Antonio, facing imminent foreclosure without assistance. Just over 31,000 homeowners have received permanent loan modifications under the Obama administration’s mortgage relief plan, a big setback for the government’s embattled effort to stem the foreclosure crisis. reduced to as low as two percent for five years. They are given temporary modifications, which are supposed to become permanent after borrowers make three payments on time and complete the required paperwork, including proof of income and a financial hardship letter. Without the needed documents, however, borrowers are ejected from the program. Mike Brauneis, director of regulatory risk consulting at consulting firm Protiviti Inc., predicts that only 20 percent of borrowers who were verbally approved for modifications will ultimately sign up. Some borrowers lied about their incomes when they originally took out their loans, and still aren’t able to show proof. During the housing boom, the lending industry didn’t require borrowers to prove their income, and those

loans are highly concentrated in the states hardest hit by the housing bust. More than half of loans made in California and Nevada from 2004 to 2007, for example, required little or no documentation, according to research firm First American CoreLogic. Nationally about 4.3 million of those loans were made during the boom years. “You definitely have a group that shouldn’t be in the loan in the first place� said Terry Moore, managing director of consulting firm Accenture’s North America banking practice. But a watchdog report this week said the government effort “appears capable of preventing only a fraction of foreclosures� and said that only $2.3 million out of a potential $75 billion government commitment had been spent.

Variety Wholesalers imported toys recalled Toys imported by Variety Wholesalers Inc. of Henderson were among product recalls announced Thursday. About 700 Super Rigs play sets made in China have been recalled because the toy trucks’ surface

coating has high levels of lead, which is toxic if young children ingest it. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The recall involves the “Super Rig Transport� toy truck with trailer and

vehicles. The recalled toy trucks were sold at discount stores in the Southeast from September through November 2009. Details: by phone at 800-678-7776; by Web at http://www.vwstores.com or http://www.cpsc.gov.

WASHINGTON — Just over 31,000 homeowners have received permanent loan modifications under the Obama administration’s mortgage relief plan, a big setback for the government’s embattled effort to stem the foreclosure crisis. Lenders blame the low success rate — only about four percent of the nearly 760,000 who have signed up — on borrowers who don’t return the necessary paperwork to complete the process. Among big lenders, Bank of America Corp. had the worst results. The nation’s largest lender had only completed 98 modifications at the end of November. GMAC Mortgage had done 7,100, the most of any lender in the program launched in March. The Treasury Department, which released the figures Thursday, said it will step up pressure on the industry to improve. The administration’s focus is to “get as many of those eligible homeowners as possible into permanent modifications,� said Phyllis Caldwell, chief of Treasury’s homeownership preservation office. When the poor progress was clear last summer, the Treasury Department set a goal of enrolling up 500,000 borrowers by Nov. 1. With the clock ticking, many lenders started giving homeowners verbal approval and a temporary modification. Under program, eligible borrowers who are behind or at risk of default can have their mortgage interest rate

BY WILLIAM F. WEST DAILY DISPATCH WRITER

OXFORD — The departing City Commission’s final items of business included dealing with laying the groundwork for the present commission to approve a pair of annexation items. The departing commission on Tuesday evening approved a 6-1 e-mail vote accepting annexation reports for Meadow Heights Lots 1-6 and for Shadow Lane Lots 1-13. Commissioner Steve Powell was not available for that e-mail vote. Annexation reports are conducted to see whether there is justification to expand the municipal bound-

ary. The new commission will have to conduct public hearings before voting for the annexations. Meadow Heights is off Country Club Drive and Shadow Lane is off Saddletree Road. Shadow Lane is located at the upscale far southeastern edge of Oxford. Commissioners Walter Cantley, Bob Shope and Bob Williford more than a year ago asked about whether Shadow Lane would be on the agenda for the process of being taken in by Oxford. The departing commission on Tuesday evening approved the annexation of property at 1020 Lewis St./U.S. 15, as requested by Dale Cates. Mayor Al Woodlief

has said Cates’ property is across from the new Shoppes at Oxford, which has the Walmart Supercenter as the anchor store. Woodlief has said that Cates’ well went dry and that the supercenter provided utilities facilities for Cates, whose property is required to be annexed to receive the municipal services. A public hearing was held Nov. 30 and there were no objections to Cates’ request. Contact the writer at bwest@ hendersondispatch.com.

Burr will hold up U.S. attorney nominee GBI finds possible link in attack cases BY MIKE BAKER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

RALEIGH — Republican Sen. Richard Burr said Thursday he will hold up a White House attempt to replace the federal prosecutor overseeing a probe of twotime presidential candidate John Edwards. The North Carolina lawmaker said in a statement he will support the nomination of Charlotte lawyer Thomas Walker only after current U.S. Attorney George Holding completes investigations into Edwards and former Democratic Gov. Mike Easley. Burr said Walker’s political contributions to Edwards and Easley “represent a conflict of interest.� “Given the importance of these investigations to the people of North Carolina, and in the interest of good

governance and transparency, I believe the investigations must be directed by and have the full attention of the U.S. attorney, and the U.S. attorney himself must have the full faith of the people of North Carolina,� Burr said. Campaign finance records show Walker gave $750 to Edwards’ presidential campaign in 2003. He donated $2,000 to Easley in 2004 and $250 in 2002. The announcement was a shift for Burr, whose office said last week he planned to sign the so-called “blue slip� that home-state senators give to the Senate Judiciary Committee to move the nomination process along. Burr’s Democratic counterpart, Sen. Kay Hagan, has also pressed the White House not to replace Holding but has not decided

whether to block Walker’s nomination. Little is known about the status of the Edwards and Easley probes. Edwards, a former North Carolina senator who competed with President Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic primaries and later went into seclusion after acknowledging an extramarital affair, has denied any improper use of campaign funds. Easley has also denied wrongdoing. A federal grand jury has been hearing testimony about Easley’s travel, a coastal subdivision where he owns property, and his wife’s hiring at North Carolina State University. Walker, 45, is a partner at Alston & Bird, LLP. He was an assistant U.S. attorney in the western district of North Carolina from 1994 to 2001.

MADISON, Ga. (AP) — Authorities are investigating a possible link between an attack on a woman in Morgan County and similar incidents in Union County and Ranger, N.C. Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesman John Bankhead said Thursday

She said her attacker looked like the man in the Ranger sketch. GBI agents hope the similar incidences will help them solve the disappearance of Blairsville mother Kristi Cornwell. Police believe she was abducted Aug. 11 as she walked along a road near her

Opponents turn to court to derail N.C. cement plant WILMINGTON (AP) — Environmental groups have gone to a Wake County court to force a controversial cement plant near the North Carolina coast into a full review of potential pollution before it receives state air and water operating permits. Media reports said Thursday the groups asked the court to review a state agency’s decision on the proposed Titan American plant. The agency said the project doesn’t require a full review until public

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping. Psalms 6:4-8

OUR OPINION

Redistricting comes with new school A long-awaited redistricting plan has been made available to the public by the Vance County Board of Education. Since January, Vance County Schools Superintendent Dr. Norman Shearin has been reminding board members and the public that redistricting will be required with the completion of the new elementary school on Garrett Road. Still awaiting a final decision on a name, the new school is replacing the aging Clark Street Elementary School that will be closing. It’s only fitting that the students — and the teachers — who are now at Clark Street will be moving to the new school when it opens in August 2010. Efforts were being made more than 20 years ago to move students out of the worn-out Clark Street facility, so those students deserve the reward of attending the new $13 million, 95,000-square-foot complex on its 45-acre site. In addition to Clark Street shutting down, the new facility will allow the shutting down of 26 to 29 mobile classroom units in the district. The new school will hold 773 students with an expansion potential to nearly 900, officials have said. Also affected by the new school construction are the districts of three other elementary schools: Aycock, L.B. Yancey and Zeb Vance. The school board has released a detailed map and written descriptions of the proposed elementary school districts as prepared by the Institute for Transportation Research and Education (ITRE) at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. The reassignment study cost $15,000. A map that details the school districts for the new school, Aycock, Yancey and Zeb Vance is printed on Page 5B in today’s Daily Dispatch along with the written narrative of the plan detailing the proposed new zones. The plan will go the Vance County Board of Education for approval in coming weeks. It’s certainly an exciting time for students at Clark Street, and we celebrate with them as we await the completion of the school. Redistricting plans sometimes have a way of causing turmoil for students and parents who do not want their children moved. The board was wise to use an outside group such as the ITRE to help in the delicate process of deciding how best to allot school assignments.

QUOTABLE “(President) Obama has tried desperately to stay away from race, and all of us understand what he’s doing. But when you have such a disproportionate number of AfricanAmericans unemployed, it would be irresponsible not to direct attention and resources to the people who are receiving the greatest level of pain.” — Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., as black lawmakers are stepping up their demands that the nation’s first black president do more for minority communities hit hardest by the recession.

‘Raisinettes’: must all good things come in small sizes? Did the Sun-Maid raisin girl go on a diet? Or have gastric bypass? Nearly one hundred years post her debut on the box of Sun-Maid raisins, the iconic raisin girl now models for television audiences a diminished waistline and a gleaming smile. Likewise, the former fair lady of dried fruit has acquired a glowing tan — a result of too much time among the grape vines under an ineffective bonnet? While the box-art remains unchanged since 1970, a made-forGINA TV makeEAVES over dating DAILY DISPATCH to 2006 and COLUMNIST catching renewed attention today features a computer-generated spokesmodel with a trimmer tummy, a more buxom bosom, and dreams of Hollywood — where, supposedly, “everybody is healthy and fit.” Admittedly, I was quite fond of the full-figured maiden who first stamped each box of Sun-Maid Raisins in 1916. According to the company’s Web site, a “real” woman, Lorraine Collet-Peterson, “was asked to pose for a painting while holding a basket tray of fresh grapes” after being “discovered drying her black curls in the sunny backyard of her parents’ home in Fresno, California.” And thus began this raisin brand pinup. I considered the once-voluptuous Sun-Maid raisin girl a kindred spirit — well, at least in the physical sense. Prior to her redesign, the Sun-Maid raisin girl was one of the few remaining “poster girls” that embodied my own physical reality.

At left is the first Sun-Maid Girl from 1916 as compared to today’s digital makeover version in 2006. Source: SunMaid.com One could argue that the Sun-Maid raisin girl’s century-long battle with weight, which is cataloged by four box-art revisions in 94 years, represents our societal evolution of “what is beautiful.” Myself a product of the ’80s, I recall curvaceous models who branded advertisements, graced magazine covers, and adorned posters that hung in most high school boys’ bedrooms. Yet, as the ’80s gave way to the next decade, a not-so-great metamorphosis occurred. A lot of women stopped eating biscuits. Just like the Sun-Maid raisin girl, women began to disappear. Not in number. Just in proportions. Nearing our third decade later, the media are now inundated with super-thin, almost boy-like women whose low body fat necessitates plastic surgery, not nature, for bustline development. And what happened to men? If there were a SunMaid raisin man, he’d now be basking by the vines with his grape-filled basket, both hairless and underweight. Our society’s current definition of beauty and ideal body size was the topic of conversation a few days ago, after a colleague and I read of the recently revamped Sun-Maiden’s trimmed tummy and tawny tan.

My colleague, referencing a number of beauty magazines, made a valid point: These unrealistic, super-skinny size expectations are consumerdriven. And such perceptions will only persist because we continue supporting them with product purchases. Dove, commonly known for its beauty bar and other cleansing products, began its Campaign for Real Beauty and Self-Esteem Fund in 2004. Dove’s commitment to positive body image — protesting popular and unrealistic beauty expectations — is detailed at its Web site at www.dove.us, along with photos of and self-image resources for women and girls of all races and figures. Some may argue that thin is not only “in,” but it’s healthy. That the growing trend to decrease body fat and increase fitness is not purely eye-pleasing, but annualphysical-pleasing as well. A proponent, although not a participant, of daily exercise, I agree, and further believe that as a whole, our nation’s horrendous eating habits and inactivity have contributed to obesity and other health issues, both physical and mental. A study by Dr. Carolyn A. MCarty of Seattle Children’s Research Institute found that women who are obese are also

far more likely than women of lesser weight to suffer from alcoholism and clinical depression (www.msnbc.msn. com/id/33025876/ns/healthwomens_health/). Eating disorders that accompany impractically small size expectations are unhealthy, too. Perhaps it’s unfair of me to find fault in the made-over Sun-Maid raisin girl. If I ate that many raisins, I’m sure I’d be just as skinny. For now, I’ll choose to eat my raisins … probably opting for the chocolate-covered kind. Certainly I’ll continue eating my biscuits, as well. And as I do so — and notice that my pants mysteriously shrink (caused by the dryer, I’m sure) — I’ll fight my own body image battle mentally, with a little rhyme I created a few years ago: Thank God for designer clothing stores, where sizes are proportionately skewed; where a size twelve turns into a size two.

Harry Reid, the uncensored version On the Senate floor this week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid abused the dignity of his position with yet another desperate attack on Republicans and other Americans who understand the dangers of President Obama’s flawed health care proposal. Rather than debating the unremarkable “merits” of the Democratic plan, Sen. Reid arrogantly and prematurely declared that he was on the “right side of history” and that the Republicans were on the wrong side. More than that, he insisted these Republicans were the same types of people who opposed ending slavery and giving women the right to vote. I suppose no one in Sen. Reid’s office could be bothered to learn that it was a Republican president under whom the slaves were freed and that it was Republican President Teddy Roosevelt’s third-party movement which was the first to support women’s suffrage. Who needs facts when you can make wild allegations? More than that, though, Sen. Reid’s comments display the Democrat’s fundamental inability to sell their health care proposal with real arguments and facts. Harry Reid would have you believe that Republicans should lose this debate because they are inconsiderate and blind, morally culpable for the failings of our health care system, and as guilty of pushing down their fellow Americans as those who oppressed women and enslaved an entire race.

If he’d had more room in his speech, perhaps Republican actions would also have been likened to those which drove American Indians from their homes and interred JapaneseAmericans during the Second World MICHAEL War. REAGAN Harry Reid MEDIA TRIBUNE would SERVICES have you believe this, because it’s much easier for him to face than the reality that he’s peddling a flawed version of “reform” which the American people just won’t buy. The Democratic party controls the White House. They have a considerable majority in the House of Representatives and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Let’s go through that again. The Democratic Party could, without a single Republican, pass any health care bill they wanted through both houses of Congress and get it signed by a Democratic President. If they cared to, Democrats could cobble together a socialized, single-payer system which covered our insurance bills by selling Maine to Canada, and there’s not a single thing Republican Congressmen, voting completely in unison, could do to stop them. It is not simply the Republican Party — much less some mythical monster of slavery-

loving Republican terror — which is stopping Harry Reid and his posse from passing his beloved monstrosity of a bill. No, the people in his way are ordinary Americans, the same ones who rallied at town hall meetings, who are fighting to preserve their independence in their health decisions and to keep our country from piling on even more debt. The Republicans are not arguing, as Reid seems to suggest, that our health insurance system is above reform, or — heaven help us — that we are better off with several million people with limited access to health care. No, the Republicans, in concert with the American people, are arguing that this proposed reform is no reform at all, and it will only serve to make our country, and our health care system, worse off than it is now. Many have asked Sen. Reid to apologize for his crass remarks, something he has adamantly refused to do. Me? His comments were undeniably arrogant, foolish, and undeserved. But if we’re going to push for an apology, let’s push for the ones we really need to hear. Let’s ask Sen. Reid to apologize for ramming an unwieldy, bureaucratic nightmare of a “reform” bill down the throats of the American people without taking the time to look beyond his liberal talking points for a real solution to the problems. Let’s ask Sen. Reid to apologize for spending more time behind closed doors playing

political games than transparently addressing and debating different aspects of this proposal with the American public. And then let’s ask Sen. Reid to work with us to find an alternative solution which won’t ration our medical care, weaken our economy, and remove our choices. This country deserves better than what Sen. Reid and the Democratic Party have been offering.

Sanford wants to reconcile with wife BY JIM DAVENPORT ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford said Thursday he still wants to reconcile with the first lady even though Jenny Sanford has made clear she won’t be standing by his side in the wake of his affair. Sanford spoke with reporters a day after a legislative panel Sanford rejected an impeachment resolution and instead decided to recommend a formal rebuke for his trysts with an Argentine mistress and his misuse of state planes. The panel said his actions had brought the state “ridicule, dishonor, disgrace and shame.� Just hours after the panel’s decision, ABC aired a previously recorded interview with Jenny Sanford.

The first lady said her husband’s actions hurt her, but have not robbed her of her self-esteem. Sanford said he didn’t watch the interview but understands why his wife is speaking out. “The obvious is the obvious, which is I hurt her greatly as I did many other people across the state, but I hurt her most greatly and so I don’t begrudge her in any way for speaking out as she has,� Sanford said. Jenny Sanford, a former Wall Street investment firm vice president who helped direct her husband’s political campaigns, surprised many in June when she said she didn’t know where her husband was over Father’s Day weekend. The governor’s spokesman said he had gone hiking along the Appalachian Trail, but the first lady’s remark heightened the mystery over Sanford’s whereabouts. He emerged after a fiveday absence to tearfully

confess he’d been in Argentina and had been having a yearlong affair with Maria Belen Chapur, a woman he described as his soul mate. Since then, Jenny Sanford has moved out of the Governor’s Mansion with the couple’s four sons and lives at the family’s beach house on Sullivans Island near Charleston. Sanford said Thursday he still wants to reconcile. “Yeah. I mean, you may have missed it, but I mean I was down there last night and dropped by and saw the kids,� Sanford said. Sanford wouldn’t talk about whether he has cut off contact with Chapur. “I’m not going back to June. We’ve had all those conversations.� In his political life, Sanford has just over a year remaining in his second term. His affair prompted investigations into travel and spending practices that resulted in 37 counts brought by the State Ethics

Commission and he could face $74,000 in fines. He faces a hearing on next month. Meanwhile, the state attorney general is reviewing the allegations to see if they merit criminal prosecution. Sanford said the panel’s vote Wednesday was an important one. “We’re very much back to the business at hand which I think is where the people of South Carolina have wanted us to get for quite some time,� he said. Even though lawmakers are considering a formal reprimand, Sanford said he won’t tread lightly around them. “It’s not in my nature unfortunately to walk on egg shells,� Sanford said. “I failed at a rather epic level. I apologized. There were consequences that we’ve dealt with for the last five, six months. One of those consequences seemingly seems to be coming to a close.�

Man bets against Saints, gets his TV shot to bits BY MARY FOSTER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

Spring told his friends that if New Orleans beat the Washington Redskins on Sunday, anyone who wanted could come to his house and shoot his television. “I was a Saints fan, but used to be they never could win and I admit I was a fairweather fan,� Spring said on Thursday. “And there was all that “Who-Datting� going on, on line, so I just decided to go against the grain.� Things were looking good until the Saints tied the game and sent it into overtime. Spring, a nurse who owns a medical staffing company,

said as soon as the undefeated Saints kicked the winning field goal, his phone started ringing. About a dozen Saints fans, toting firearms and a case of beer, showed up at his home in Albany, some 50 miles northwest of New Orleans, and shot up his TV in the back yard. Spring put the video on YouTube and says it has had over 145,000 hits in three days. “I was amazed,� Spring said. “I’ve put stuff on YouTube before. About three years ago I put one on a bicycle. I put a jet engine on, and it took two years to get 80,000 hits on that one.� After the barrage of gunshots, Spring joked, “I ain’t checked on my neighbors. I guess they’re all right, but I ain’t seen them lately either.� Spring said he actually lives in a fairly isolated area. Authorities said the TV shooting apparently didn’t break any laws.
