HAITI RELIEF

Car slams into home

TROOPS, AID ON THE GROUND, BUT PEOPLE ARE STILL HUNGRY Troops, doctors and aid workers flowed into Haiti on Monday and officials said billions of dollars more will be needed following the quake that killed an estimated 200,000 people and left many still struggling to find a cup of water or a handful of food. European nations pledged more than a half-billion dollars in emergency and long-term aid, on top of at least $100 million promised earlier by the U.S. Page 10A

N.C.-BASED PARATROOPER RETURNS TO HAITI TO FIND FAMILY Junior Florestal left Haiti when he was 13 for a better life in the United States. He long promised to return, but it took an earthquake to bring him back. Florestal is one of at least three Haitian-American paratroopers in the 82nd Airborne Division helping get sorely needed food, water and supplies to survivors of the magnitude-7.0 earthquake that shattered this capital city last Tuesday.

SANFORD — Firefighters scrambled Monday afternoon to keep a house fire at bay that was the result of a car accident just blocks from downtown Sanford. The Sanford Fire Department was able to finally subdue the flames after gas company personnel dug into the ground and closed a gas line that had been fueling the fire. The fire at 423 Charlotte Ave. began around 1:40 p.m. Monday after a car accident near the home caused Elva Sanchez Crissman’s 2009

2010 ELECTION

LEE COUNTY

Board to consider merger of two fire departments

Woman killed in weekend accident near Lemon Springs

SANFORD — The Lee County Board of Commissioners will consider tonight a move that would merge the West Sanford and Northview volunteer fire departments. The Lee County Fire Advisory Board has recommended that the commissioners approve the measure, which would see the absorption of the West Sanford Fire Department, which services much of northern Lee County and is based in the Cumnock community, by the Northview Fire Department, which services an area centered around the U.S. 15-501 corridor leading into Chatham County. The boards of both departments have voted in favor of the merger. The merger has been imminent since June of 2009, when the commissioners voted to order the department to come up with a workable merger proposal by January. In other business, the commissioners will consider bids for the repair of the lower dam at San Lee Park. The low bid comes from Charlotte firm Hall Contracting in the amount of $977,300. WANT TO GO?: The Lee County Board of Commissioners will meet a 6 p.m. today in the commissioners meeting room at the County Government Complex, 106 Hillcrest Drive. The meeting is open to the public.

SANFORD — A woman was killed in a single-vehicle accident early Sunday near Lemon Springs, the state Highway Patrol reported Monday. Martha Ann Clark, 35, of 4121 Farmstead Drive died around 1 a.m. Sunday after she was ejected from her vehicle during an accident. Trooper C.B. Cook of the North Carolina Highway Patrol reported that Clark was headed north on Sheriff Watson Road when she ran a stop sign at the intersection with Swann Station Road and then went off the road, striking a ditch and causing her 1999 Lexus to overturn several times. Cook estimated that Clark was traveling about 85 mph at the time of the accident and was not wearing a seat belt.

Council to hold public hearing on re-zoning request SANFORD — The Sanford City Council will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. today on a request to rezone 8.5 acres of land at 2107, 2111, 2113, and 2117 Woodland Avenue from mixed residential to a conditional zoning for elderly housing. The public is invited to the meeting, which will be held in the council’s meeting chambers at City Hall, 225 E. Weatherspoon St.

Candidates set sights on Etheridge PITTSBORO (MCT)— Call it Tea Party — The Second Cup. After having jammed town hall meetings over health care reform last summer, the reinvigorated conservative movement is now setting its sights on the 2010 elections. In North Carolina, members hope to knock off Democratic congressmen such as 2nd District Rep. Bob Etheridge, who voted to overhaul health care. More than 100 people crowded into a Pittsboro senior citizens center Tuesday to hear the candidates seeking the Republican nomination to challenge Etheridge in November. “The grass roots is moving, and we have started a wildfire,� Frank Deatrich of Franklin County, one of the four GOP congressional candidates, told the crowd. “We need to keep it going.� While conservatives are concerned about a broad range of issues, the health care debate that sparked the protests last summer continues to be the strongest focus. That debate prompted Renee Ellmers, a registered nurse from Dunn, to challenge Etheridge. She and her husband, Brent Ellmers, a physician, toured the state with Americans for Prosperity, a conservative

group opposing Democratic plans to overhaul health care. If elected to Congress, Ellmers said, she would continue her effort. “If something is passed, I will fight to repeal whatever they put through,� Ellmers told the GOP forum. “Health care, I’m sorry, is not a right that we have in the Constitution. There is a responsibility for individuals to pay for that health care. “I’m all for free-market solutions. There are reforms that need to be made. But it should not be from the government.� Etheridge, after months of not saying publicly how he would vote, joined most of his fellow Democrats last year in passing the Democratic-backed health care plan. House and Senate conferees are now trying to reconcile differences between the two versions of the bill. Etheridge represents a district that voted twice for President George W. Bush. Other Democrats who represent conservativeleaning districts — Mike McIntyre of Lumberton, Larry Kissell of Biscoe, and Heath Shuler of Bryson City — all voted against the health care plan. Since first winning election in 1996, Etheridge has never had a close race. His district includes sections

Then he goes back to Washington and votes with the far-left liberals.� The nonpartisan National Journal rates Etheridge’s 2008 voting record as 70 percent liberal and 30 percent conservative, and his 2007 record as 58 percent liberal and 42 percent conservative. Two of the four candidates, Ellmers and Deatrich, a Franklin County businessman, attended the forum in Pittsboro. The other candidates, who were originally scheduled to attend, are Dan Mansell, a Clayton businessman who has run against Etheridge before, and Jay Johnson, a health care administrator from Dunn. Of the four GOP candidates, Ellmers seems the fastest out of the gate. She has hired a number of veteran political consultants, including Carter Wrenn, the former chief strategist for U.S. Sen.

Entrepreneurship is alive and well Our View Issue: Eight local participants in CCCC’s Rural Entrepreneurship through Action Learning course

Our stance: In these times of economic uncertainty, if it good to see some with a vision to help our community

Much has been said about our country’s economic woes in recent times. Sure, there have been some down times. There have been businesses to close and lots of lost jobs. But truth be told, there have been some good times as well. There have been businesses to open and jobs that have opened. Even the stock market is showing positive signs. Another positive sign is that of entrepreneurship. Just consider Central Carolina Community College’s REAL (Rural Entrepreneurship through Action Learning) course. This fall, eight individuals went through the course and

planned for their own businesses. The eight individuals and their planned businesses: Alex Benitez — Events to Remember, Aleida Benitez Hernandez — Tony’s Play Pin, Beth Hall — Green Home Builders, Brooke Paschal — Brooklyn’s Night Club and Lounge, Samantha Selix — Paws A Day Pet Sanctuary and Clinic, Jeremy Strothers — DL Token Entertainment, Elizabeth Crudup — The Glass Carriage, and Roshonda Peele — Soothing Touch Spa and Wellness Center. Most communities have at the heart of their business local entrepreneurs who through the years have provided much ap-

preciated service. It’s true that industry and big-name stores are important, but so is the entrepreneurship of smaller businesses. Central Carolina Community College deserves a salute for its service in providing such a program for entrepreneurs to work through their ideas and develop a business plan. These eight individuals, and the many others who have gone through this program over the years, are to be saluted for their vision in seeing their entrepreneurship move into a level that provides a service for the community.

Arrogance of power

I

t was October 1998, and then-state House Speaker Harold Brubaker was pushing his wheelbarrow full of frogs (his great description of a slim legislative majority) toward the finish line of lengthy legislative session. My colleague at the Associated Press, Dennis Patterson, was given the task of watching the final, fitful days of the legislative session. I was pushed out the door to go chase around two U.S. Senate candidates — crusty Republican incumbent Lauch Faircloth and fresh-faced Democratic neophyte John Edwards. I had interviewed Edwards on a couple of occasions, but hadn’t spent any significant time around him. Then I met him one day in Durham for a series of events and speeches. Like many who came across Edwards’ path as part of that initial political quest, I was struck by how down to earth he seemed. ... His apparent ease around people whom he’d only recently met was remarkable, contrasting with the suspiciousness of Faircloth. That John Edwards can’t be found in The New York Times Magazine excerpts from Game Change, the new book from John Heilemann and Mark Halperin exposing the inside of the 2008 Edwards presidential campaign as it crumbled amid his infidelity and arrogance. Heilemann and Halperin paint Edwards as a manipulative politician increasingly isolated by an ever-growing, superduper-sized ego. The question that I’ve always struggled with, and on occasion discussed with others who covered or knew him, is how much of the John Edwards that I saw back in 1998 was ever real in the first place? How much was political façade and how much was the real man? Heileman and Halperin suggest that the power and public adulation that came from Edwards’ first presidential run in 2004 changed him. I’d like to believe that. I’d like to think that I, and those Iowa voters in 2004, weren’t duped. I’m not convinced. In 2000, while covering the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia, I had long conversations with Chuck Fuller, who had been Faircloth’s campaign manager, about Edwards and the Senate race. Fuller was certain that Edwards possessed an arrogance rare even for Washington. He talked about doctors deposed by a callous man. At the time, I dismissed the talk as the bitter residue of an election loss. But stories began circulating around Raleigh about Edwards’ disregard for those looking for time with their U.S. senator. At an event at Wake Medical Center, I remember being shocked watching him harshly deal with staffers only to walk into a room and transform into Mr. Charm. The question is important because it leads to another one: Are the spectacular failings of John Edwards the result of the trappings of ultimate power, or does our political system attract and reward those with such flaws?

Turning the tables P oetic justice is a beautiful thing. Republican Party grandees were all set to use Michael Steele in the most cynical way. Now it’s becoming clear that Steele has been using the users all along. Republicans must have thought that electing Steele as their national chairman was a brilliant stroke. The 2008 presidential election had been a debacle for them. The Democratic Party was on top of the world, with the first African-American president taking office amid a national outpouring of good will. Among the mediocre field of contenders for the RNC job — at that point, after all, who would want it? — there was one intriguing option. Why not begin the process of rebranding and renewal by installing the first African-American party chairman? Steele was smooth and charismatic. He was effective on television, in a wallof-noise sort of way, and clearly loved the limelight. African-Americans, Latinos and Asians had rejected the party in historic numbers, and smart Republican strategists understood the long-term implications of allowing the GOP to be pigeonholed as almost exclusively white and Southern. With Steele, the face the party presented to an increasingly diverse nation would be strikingly different. It would also be fraudulent, but hey, this is politics. By now, however, it’s clear that Steele had an agenda of his own. It didn’t seem unusual that the leader of the Republican Party would come out with a new book titled “Right Now: A 12-Step Program for Defeating the Obama Agenda.” But it was bizarre — and, to some Republican officials, infuriating — that Steele would spring this project on the party without bothering to tell anyone it was coming. Who came up with these 12 steps? Who decided it was a good idea to announce this “program” in the name of the party? Was there a vote, a meeting, even a memo? No. The book just adds to the compendium that should be called the Quotations of Chairman Mike. And the list keeps growing. In one of a series of television interviews to promote the book, Steele opined that the party had no chance of regaining control of the House in this year’s midterm elections. This note of pessimism — probably true, but not likely to motivate GOP activists and donors — upset Republicans on Capitol Hill. The Washington Post reported that during a conference call, an unidentified “top congressional aide” told members of Steele’s staff: “You really just have to get him to stop. It’s too much.” But Chairman Mike never stops. His response: “Fire me. But until then, shut up. Get with the program or get out of the way.” The book and its fallout are just the latest Steele controversies. A few weeks ago, two former party chairmen took the unusual step of going public with criticism when

Letters to the Editor Responses to letter failed to tackle the issues at hand To the Editor: Re: Back-and-forth letters debating government control of banks, retailers To letter-writer Sheila Barber, while your issues against government control are good ones — which I can agree with you on most of them — you have still failed to address the issues stated in my original letter to the editor. Those issues — unfair bank practices and retailers who inadvertently cause bank overdraft charges by placing a hold on a consumer’s bank account for additional money they are not entitled to until the debit charge clears. I agree with you that citizens still have the power to make a difference, and one way they can do this is to go to higher authorities when the banks turn a deaf ear to the problem. It is because citizens wrote to their senators and representatives that two major studies are being conducted to examine bank overdraft practices — one by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and one by the General Accountability Office, Congress’ investigative arm. Federal legislation already introduced in Congress would bar many current bank overdraft practices. It is called “Consumer Overdraft Protection Fair Practices Act,” and congressional hearings are planned this summer to highlight abuses of the practice. If you know of a bank that does not use these unfair practices, those who have been swindled by their banks will be glad to hear the good news and would probably switch over to that bank. My purpose for writing my original letter to the editor was to make citizens aware that these unfair practices by the banks and retailers are going on in our own area. If my letter has made just one person aware of these unfair practices and has caused that person to check it out, my letter has served its purpose. DOROTHY CRAIG Sanford

Questions about the Parkdale incentives To the Editor:

Eugene Robinson Columnist Eugene Robinson is a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group

it was revealed that Steele, who is paid $224,000 annually by the RNC, has also been making paid speeches at up to $20,000 a pop. In November, when Republican candidates won the governorships in Virginia and New Jersey, Steele took personal credit for the victories, as if they had been all his doing. “Assume the Heisman position,” he said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” as he, indeed, struck the iconic Heisman trophy pose. “There you go. That’s my moment.” If Steele’s critics are shocked to discover that he is an adept and tireless self-promoter, they should have bothered to check his record. On the basis of one term as lieutenant governor of Maryland and one failed U.S. Senate campaign — most of his television ads failed to mention the fact that he was a Republican — he has made himself into a national figure. The party should have known that it wasn’t getting a chairman who would just shut up, sit in the corner and wait to be trotted out when the subject of diversity came up. No matter how much Steele’s opponents in the GOP establishment may fume, the party is unlikely to dump him anytime soon. The “optics” of dismissing the first AfricanAmerican chairman so quickly would be awful. And while the long knives may be out for him in Washington, he is much more popular among Republican officials outside the Beltway. And why not? The party, moribund when Steele took over, has had an excellent fundraising cycle, taking in $80 million. He cleaned house at RNC headquarters, shaking up the complacent staff. He pays attention to long-neglected state party leaders. Disgruntled GOP insiders are probably stuck with him. I sympathize. A good figurehead is so hard to find.

Today’s Prayer For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and His ears are open unto their prayers. (I Peter 3:12) PRAYER: Thank You, Father, for being with us through the good times as well as the bad. Amen.

I see that both the Lee County Board of Commissioners and the Sanford City Council have agreed to jointly give Parkdale approximately $79,000 of taxpayer money. I had asked questions about the soundness of this when it was a BOC issue only. Now, I am more concerned since the city has decided to “follow suite.” Therefore, I have the following sample questions for both governing bodies: o What do each of you see as the difference between the word “incentive” and the word “bribe”? o Is either word closely synonymous with the phrase “lobbyist influence”? I believe you fully understand the meaning of this Washington, D.C., phrase. o What written guarantee (contract) was received from Parkdale that the formerly displaced workers will be re-hired and the other promised new workers will be hired? Was there a clause in this contractual agreement which stated that, if this did not occur by a certain date, the entire package would become void? o Does this contract in any way prohibit Parkdale from using these “incentives funds” for other purposes? o Were the entire contents of these incentives made available to the taxpayers or review both before and especially after final contract signing? Possibly the one commissioner (Mrs. Shook) and the two councilmen (Mr. Taylor and Mr. Stone) who voted against these items, saw something that “just didn’t jell.” I applaud all three’s position on this issue. Thanks to corporate greed (spurred by outsourcing), along with Federal Trade Agreements with offshore countries and Union wages, the textile mills are a dying U.S.A. business. We had best concentrate on small businesses, especially those seeking help to hire local unemployed people and produce a product that the offshore countries and the Unions haven’t gotten their greedy hands on. I assume Parkdale still takes depreciation write-offs on their capital assets. Could they be “somewhat double-dipping”? RUSSELL B. NOEL Lee County

munity spirit in Sanford and Lee County.� The afternoon included singing, prayer and remarks from Rep. Bob Etheridge (D - 2nd District), among others. “It is remarkable that this many people came. It’s a testimony to Martin Luther King Jr., that this many people show up on a beautiful day like this,� he said. Etheridge brought up the recent social progress made in government — the election of President Barack Obama, the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor — but stressed that there is more to do. “We have made great strides. We have yet to reach that just society that Dr. King talked about,� he said. King broke down barriers and left a strong impact that continues to be celebrated, CEAD President Margaret Murchison told the audience. “The amount of courage was so great that few of us realized it at the time,� Murchison said. “His dream is now my dream, and hopefully our dream.� The event’s main speaker, Pastor Leonzo

Lynch of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Charlotte, told the audience that one person, like King, can be powerful. “Never underestimate what God can do through a life. Never underestimate what God can do in the lives of young people,� he said. He spoke of racism, equality and working toward the society that King envisioned. “How do we get there? We’ve got to do what we already know we need to do,� he said. Voting, supporting education and pushing for social justice are the moves Americans need to make, he said. “Learn how to speak out whenever we see injustice against humanity. Too many times, we stay quiet when we ought to speak out,� he said. Alberta Williams of Sanford said the program, which she attends every year, was “beautiful.� “He was a legend. He helped everyone,� she said of King. “He didn’t die for just one race. If everybody followed Dr. King, this would be a beautiful world to live in.�

STATE BRIEFS N.C. applies for federal education money

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina is seeking almost $470 million in federal education funds from a grant that rewards states for innovation and improved student performance. Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office said the application for money from the $4.5 billion “Race to the Top� initiative was mailed this past weekend. The state funds would be spent over four years. Perdue hopes to get the money for her own initiative, called “Ready Set Go!,� which she announced last week. Under the plan, she hopes to expand modern technology to every classroom so that learning can be accelerated and provide more real-world experiences for students. The proposal also would include evaluations of students throughout a school year, along possible expansion of higher pay for teachers who serve in rural areas or the lowest-performing schools.

House made famous in ‘Nights in Rodanthe’ moving

RODANTHE (AP) — The Outer Banks beach house made famous in the movie “Nights in Rodanthe� has a new location. A Dare County Web camera showed movers pulled the house, called Serendipity, from its spot at the end of the Hatteras Island community of Rodanthe about 10:40 a.m. Monday. The house was moved less than a mile south to a safer location that’s still beachfront and still in Rodanthe. The house was supposed to be moved Friday, but the Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk reported that contractors The Dare County Sheriff’s Office said the permit to move the house expired at 2 p.m. A bail bondsman from Newton and his wife purchased Serendipity and paid to move it. Dare County had declared the surf-endangered house a nuisance.

Authorities: N.C. cops shouldn’t have hired officer

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Officials say a North Carolina police department missed red flags that should have kept them from hiring an officer accused of sexually assaulting women during traffic stops. The Charlotte Observer reported Sunday that a 2005 civil restraining order accusing Marcus Jackson of hitting a girlfriend should have disqualified him from a job with the CharlotteMecklenburg Police Department. Deputy Chief Ken Miller says police mistakenly thought criminal background checks would also reveal civil restraining orders from a job candidate’s past. Jackson was fired after he was arrested Dec. 30 and charged with sexu-

ally assaulting three other women. Five women have accused the 25-year-old Jackson of fondling them or forcing them to have sex. Jackson is in jail on $423,000 bond.

Authorities looking for men who shot at teen ROCKY MOUNT (AP) — Police are trying to find the people who shot at two North Carolina teenagers, wounding one of them. WRAL-TV reported Sunday that a 14-year-old told Rocky Mount boy told police that two men got out of a dark vehicle and shot at him around 10:30 p.m. Saturday. The boy told police he and 18-year-old Cortez Sykes were running down the street when he realized he had been shot. Police said the 14-year-old was shot in the chest and right leg. Sykes was not injured. The 14-year-old was in stable condition at a hospital Sunday. Authorities are still investigating.

Troop returns to Haiti, finds family By KEVIN MAURER Associated Press Writer

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Junior Florestal left Haiti when he was 13 for a better life in the United States. He long promised to return, but it took an earthquake to bring him back. “I’d always wanted to come,� the 33-year-old U.S. Army staff sergeant said Sunday. “But I didn’t want to come in this way.� Florestal is one of at least three Haitian-American paratroopers in the 82nd Airborne Division helping get sorely needed food, water and supplies to survivors of the magnitude-7.0 earthquake that shattered this capital city last Tuesday. His unit learned it would leave the following day, giving Florestal hope he could both bring aid and track down dozens of relatives living in Port-au-Prince and in

15 sickened on flight from US Virgin Islands

Continued from Page 1A

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Emergency crews responded to a major North Carolina airport after 15 passengers and crew members complained of sickness. US Airways spokeswoman Michelle Mohr said Sunday that seven crew members were taken to the hospital from Charlotte-Douglas International Airport Saturday night after complaining of headaches and nausea. The crew had been onboard a plane that had just arrived from St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Mohr says eight passengers from that flight were treated on the scene and went on to board connecting flights out of Charlotte. Shortly after the plane took off from St. Thomas, crew members noticed an odor and alerted Charlotte authorities. Mohr says the plane has been taken out of service. Authorities are investigating what caused the odor.

house and the two involved in the accident, only one suffered any injuries. Yeimi Sanabria, 25, of Cannon Circle, was driving a 1995 Saturn west on Charlotte Avenue when she allegedly ran a red light and struck Crissman. Sanabria was taken to Central Carolina Hospital and treated for minor injuries, police said. Heather Fair, who lives at the home, said everyone inside was able to get out quickly. “All I heard was ‘get out the house,’� Fair said. “Somebody hit that

villages surrounding the capital. “I was ready to go that day,� he said. “When I was watching it on TV in the States, I couldn’t wait to get back here and help out.� Florestal joined the Army in 1996 and has served twice in Iraq and once in Afghanistan. Trained to be a cook, he’s fluent in Creole. Since arriving Saturday has been translating for officers who coordinate relief efforts from the division’s base on a hillside golf course. “It helps to have someone with a similar background,� said Capt. John Hartsock, who has been overseeing food distribution with the Fort Bragg-based division. Quake survivors implore the soldiers in halting English for more food and water and for medical help. Florestal responds in Creole — and

surprised Haitians waiting in lines slap him on the back and shake his hand. “They feel good that there are Haitians in the U.S. Army,� he said. When Florestal hasn’t been working as an interpreter, he’s been asking quake victims if they have any information about his family. On Saturday, he walked up and down a makeshift barricade, questioning those waiting in line for food. Amazingly, he found one of his cousins, who told him most of his family survived. Later, he called his mother, who had been crying and still unable to reach any relatives in Haiti from her Orlando, Florida, home. She was overjoyed to hear that her sister and brother were alive, he said. Florestal remembers a pleasant childhood in Haiti, growing up near a

beach. Two decades later, he’s returned to a place that’s tough to recognize. On Saturday afternoon, Florestal went with a group of paratroopers to another part of the golf course to walk through a tent city of 50,000 people that had formed since the quake. Survivors sat in the shade of trees and under makeshift tarps. In one thicket near a fairway, the Haitians set up a hospital. Children lay on ratty mattresses, bandages on their heads stained with blood. Nearby, a woman had an exposed wound the size of frying pan on her back. In the neighborhood next to the golf course, the school collapsed, leaving nothing but a pile of cinderblocks. Power lines dip down in the middle of the street. A lamp pole blocked a road. Florestal said serving in Haiti has become a personal mission.

white car and rammed them into my house.� Fair said the family also had two full grown dogs and nine puppies, all of which made it out of the house. Only a pet rabbit was killed. “Everybody’s all right. It’s just that this is everything we’ve worked for,� she said. “We’re renting (the house) from Adcock. We heard about somebody hitting the house before, but that was a couple of years ago, and we never thought anything about it. We never thought this would happen.� Sanford Fire Chief Wayne Barber confirmed there had been similar incidents with the house in question, which was

one reason he hesitated to call the house a total loss, despite significant fire, smoke and water damage. “Because of where that house is located, there have been two other similar incidents with cars and fire,� Barber said. “And the owners have rebuilt, so it really just depends on what the owner wants to do.� The fire emanated completely from the severed gas line, meaning firefighters were only able to keep the flames at bay. Eventually, work-

ers had to dig two holes in the ground near the house and clamp the line shut, which caused the gas to stop flowing. A neighbor who asked that her name not be published said she ran from her home (two houses away) when she heard “an explosion.� “It was so loud, it sounded like it came from my house,� she said. Sanabria was charged with a stop light violation and not having a driver’s license.

NATION BRIEFS

Both sides look to turn out voters

BOSTON (AP) — Democrat Martha Coakley rolled out an eleventhhour TV ad featuring President Barack Obama amid intense get-outthe-vote efforts by both parties on the eve of Tuesday’s crucial Senate election in Massachusetts. “Martha knows the struggles Massachusetts working families face because she’s lived those struggles. She’s fought for the people of Massachusetts every single day,� Obama is shown saying in the spot during a gymnasium rally at Northeastern University. Her Republican opponent, Scott Brown, said voters are “tired of business as usual. They want someone who isn’t part of the machine or an insider.� Coakley’s commercial came a day before Tuesday’s special election for the late Edward M. Kennedy’s Senate seat. Obama needs her to win to deny Republicans the

In the ad, Obama says Coakley “took on Wall Street� as attorney general, while going after big insurance companies and predatory lenders. “Every vote matters, every voice matters. We need you on Tuesday,� he adds. As the final day of campaigning began, Coakley told over 1,000 at a Martin Luther King Jr.

breakfast in Boston that the voting is a chance to act on the civil rights leader’s dream. “If Dr. King were here today, he’d be standing with us,� she told the heavily black audience. “And I know that he would be standing with us on the front line for health care, not as a privilege, but as a right.� The Massachusetts attorney general also laid blame for the country’s

current economic problems not with Obama, but his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush. “I wish there were easy answers to the tough problems we have,� Coakley said, echoing an Obama refrain. “Do not forget that they are problems that were not created by, but inherited by, our president, Barack Obama.� Brown didn’t have a speaking role at the breakfast, and he faulted Coakley for using it to tout her candidacy. He also brushed aside criticism from Obama, who had said Brown’s truck would drag the country back to the failed policies of the past. Brown has featured his pickup truck in television ads as a symbol of the traveling he’s done to reach out to voters. “I thought it was pretty funny,� the Republican said of Obama’s comment. “People are having difficulty even buying trucks these days.�

Obama honors slain civil rights leader

Most Haitians seeking U.S. refuge will go back

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama served plates of steaming hot lunches to the needy Monday, one of several ways the nation’s first black president paid tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. on the federal holiday honoring the slain civil rights leader. Obama held a discussion at the White House with black elders and their grandchildren about the push for racial equality that King led until he was assassinated in 1968. The president also was to speak at the Kennedy Center during a musical celebration of King’s legacy. His outing was part of an array of holiday tributes. Worshippers at King’s Ebenezer Baptist Church heard Princeton University scholar Cornel West deliver a passionate keynote address in Atlanta, urging them not to “sanitize� King’s legacy. In Washington, Obama spent the day with King observances. “How are you sir? God bless you,� the president said, greeting one man among the dozens of men and women who filed into the dining room at SOME, or So Others Might Eat.

MIAMI (AP) — U.S. authorities are stepping up contingency plans for a potential mass migration of Haitians even though there’s no immediate signs of such an event. The migration plan, known as “Operation Vigilant Sentry,� calls for clearing space at Miami’s Krome detention center by moving existing detainees to other facilities. Officials say some migrants could also be housed temporarily at the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The U.S. policy regarding Haitian migrants who are caught trying to reach this country by sea has not changed in the aftermath of the earthquake. With a few exceptions, most will be sent back to Haiti.

Ohio patrol: At least 3 dead in small plane crash ELYRIA, Ohio (AP) — Police say at least three men have died in a small plane crash in the Cleveland area. Lt. Travis Hughes, commander of the Elyria post of the State Highway Patrol, tells The (Elyria) Chronicle-Telegram that the plane was approaching the Lorain County Regional Airport in Elyria shortly after 2 p.m. when it crashed. Hughes says Federal Aviation Administration officials from Cleveland are on their way to the site.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has personally thanked some American Red Cross workers for their efforts following the earthquake in Haiti last week. He also sent his first Twitter message. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama went to American Red Cross headquarters a few blocks from the White House on Monday, and toured the Disaster Operations Center. Obama thanked the workers, all seated at computer stations, for their efforts and urged them to keep up what he said was great work.

Man questioned after 5 found dead in Texas home BELLVILLE, Texas (AP) — Authorities working to determine what spurred a flurry of gunshots that left five people dead in southeast Texas are questioning a 20-year-old man who lived with the victims in the isolated house surrounded by pasture land. Police said Monday the victims of the weekend bloodshed all lived in the singlestory brick home in Bellville, a town of about 4,000 people located 55 miles northwest of Houston. They included a retiree and his wife, a younger woman and man, and a girl believed to be about 3 years old, police said. Investigators were questioning a 20-year-old man, who remained jailed on burglary and attempted burglary charges after allegedly trying to break into a Bellville home.

‘Avatar’ aims for Oscar after Globe win By DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — James Cameron may get to proclaim himself king of the distant moon Pandora at the Academy Awards. Cameron — who borrowed Leonardo DiCaprio’s line from “Titanic� and declared himself “king of the world� when that film sailed to Oscar glory 12 years ago — positioned himself for a repeat with his Golden Globe wins Sunday for the sci-fi blockbuster “Avatar.� The tale of big, blue aliens in conflict with rapacious humans on Pandora earned the Globes for best drama and director, prizes that also preceded the Oscar run of “Titanic.� “This is a trip,� said Cameron, recalling that as “Titanic� was becoming a box-office and Oscar juggernaut, he had thought to himself, “enjoy this ride, it ain’t never going to happen again.� Yet “Avatar� has soared to a worldwide box office of $1.6 billion, second only to “Titanic� at $1.8 billion, and could end up surpassing his 1997 smash about the doomed luxury liner. A key difference for Cameron’s success this awards season is that he’s doing it with a space fantasy, the sort of far-out tale that usually goes over-

Globe acting winners also firmed up their Oscar prospects, including dramatic-performance recipients Sandra Bullock for the football tale “The Blind Side� and Jeff Bridges for the countrymusic story “Crazy Heart.� The musical or comedy acting prizes went to Robert Downey Jr. for the crime romp “Sherlock Holmes� and Meryl Streep

for the Julia Child tale “Julie & Julia.� Supporting honors were presented to Mo’Nique for the Harlem drama “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ By Sapphire� and Christoph Waltz for the World War II saga “Inglourious Basterds.� Like “Avatar,� “Titanic� was a visual marvel, but it was an epic period drama, too, the kind of movie awards voters have embraced since the early days of the Oscars. Peter Jackson achieved rare awards acceptance for fantasy adventures with his “Lord of the Rings� trilogy, though those films had a long and distinguished literary pedigree in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. Cameron made every-

thing up himself for “Avatar,� a 22nd century story of interspecies romance set on Pandora, where intrusive humans are mining a priceless energy source, steam-rolling over the world’s natives to do it. Pandora’s inhabitants, the 10-foot, blue-skinned Na’vi, fight back with help from a paralyzed human (Sam Worthington), whose mind is transferred to an “avatar� resembling the natives. In something of a “Dances With Avatars� story, he finds a mentor and romantic interest in a fierce Na’vi princess (Zoe Saldana). “Thank you for believing in blue people,� “Avatar� producer Jon Landau told the Globes crowd. Assuming “Avatar� earns a best-picture nomination for the Oscars, it will have more company than usual. Oscars organizers have doubled the best-picture category to 10 nominees, aiming to bring a broader range of movies into the fold. The Oscars often are dominated by small and sober dramas, but this time, blockbusters could hold sway in the top category. Along with “Avatar,� potential nominees include two other sci-fi smashes, “Star Trek� and “District 9,� the hit “Inglourious Basterds,� and the animated blockbuster “Up.�

Wyclef Jean calls for evacuating Haiti’s capital NEW YORK (AP) — Haitianborn musician Wyclef Jean is calling for an evacuation of his homeland’s earthquakeravaged capital and asking for international aid to help set up Jean tent cities nearby. The Grammy Award-winning artist called for action during a news conference Monday in New York. He envisions temporary settlements housing 100,000 people each outside Port-au-Prince. Jean is one of Haiti’s most famous sons and has been a prominent voice in relief efforts since Tuesday’s earthquake. He has raised more than $2 million through his charity, The Wyclef Jean Foundation Inc. It is also known as Yele Haiti. But he has also faced questions about its accounting practices. He defended it Monday as a young organization that had made mistakes but has also been effective.

“The network asked him to make a compromise. He’s being a good soldier, and he’s being trashed,â€? said producer Jack Coen, who has worked with Leno for 14 years. He OĘźBrien added that there isn’t any truth to the suggestion that the talk host forced the issue to Leno get back on “The Tonight Show.â€? Tracie Fiss, a co-producer who has worked with Leno for 18 years, said her reaction to such characterizations is “frustration.â€? “Jay doesn’t have the power to make these decisions. The decisions are made by NBC,â€? she said. Settlement talks continued Sunday on a deal that would let O’Brien leave NBC and “Tonight,â€? and put Leno back into the 11:35 p.m. EST time slot he occupied for 17 years through last spring. NBC is dropping “The Jay Leno Show,â€? his disappointing prime-time show that debuted last fall at 10 p.m. A proposed deal would give O’Brien more than $30 million for leaving and allow him to go to another network as early as this fall, according to people familiar with the talks, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the negotiations. After O’Brien rejected NBC’s initial plan to move him and “Tonightâ€? to midnight EST and give Leno a half-hour show at 11:30 p.m. EST, the flap became monologue fodder for them and for other late-night hosts.

Stead, Pinkney win top children’s book awards NEW YORK (AP) — Rebecca Stead’s “When You Reach Me� and Jerry Pinkney’s “The Lion and the Mouse,� two highly praised books for young people that draw upon famous stories, have received the top prizes in children’s literature. Stead’s intricate, timetraveling narrative set in 1970s Manhattan, which was inspired in part by Madeleine L’Engle’s “A Wrinkle in Time,� won the John Newbery Medal for best children’s book. The Randolph Caldecott prize for picture books was given to Pinkney’s wordless telling of the classic Aesop fable. The awards were announced Monday in Boston at the American Library Association’s annual midwinter meeting. ** Planet 51: PG (10:20), 12:20, 5:25 ** Planet 51: PG (10:20), 12:20, 5:25

People beg for food and water outside a supermarket in Port-au-Prince, Monday. Troops, doctors and aid workers flowed into Haiti on Monday even while hundreds of thousands of Tuesday’s quake victims struggled to find water or food. Army’s on-the-ground commander, Lt. Gen. Ken Keen, said the city is seeing less violence than before the earthquake. “Is there gang violence? Yes. Was there gang violence before the earthquake? Absolutely.� U.S. officials say some 2,200 Marines were arriving to join 1,700 U.S. troops now on the ground and U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon announced Monday he wants 1,500 more U.N. police and 2,000 more troops to join the existing 7,000 military peacekeepers and 2,100 international police in Haiti. While aid workers tried to make their way into Haiti, many people tried to leave. Hundreds of U.S. citizens, or people claiming to be, waved IDs as they formed a long line outside the U.S. Embassy in hopes of arranging a flight out of the country. Dominican President Leonel Fernandez, hosting an international meeting to plan strategy for Haiti, said it would cost

$10 billion over five years to reconstruct the country and confront the immediate emergency. Roughly 200,000 people may have been killed in the magnitude7.0 quake, the European Union said, quoting Haitian officials who also said about 70,000 bodies have been recovered so far. EU officials estimated that about 250,000 were injured and 1.5 million were homeless. Even many people whose houses survived are sleeping outside for aftershocks will collapse unstable buildings. And while the U.N. said that more than 73,000 people have received a week’s rations, many more still wait. So many people have lost homes that the World Food Program is planning a tent camp for 100,000 people — an instant city the size of Burbank,

California — on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince, according to the agency’s country director, Myrta Kaulard. About 50,000 people already sleep each night on the city golf course where the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division has set up an aid camp. In town, Bodies still lay in the street six days after the quake, but Haitians had made progress in hauling many away for burial or burning. People were seen dragging corpses to intersections in hopes that garbage trucks or aid groups would arrive to take them away. Six days after the quake, dozens of rescue crews were still working to rescue victims trapped under piles of concrete and debris. “There are still people living� in collapsed buildings, U.N. humanitarian spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs told The Associated Press. “Hope continues.� She said some might survive until Monday — and a few special cases could make it further: Rescuers pulled a 30-yearold man and a 40-year-old woman from a ruined supermarket on Sunday. Officials said they had had survived for so long by eating food where they were trapped. Stunned by images of the disaster, the European Union Commission said it would contribute euro330 million ($474 million) in emergency and long-term aid to Haiti.

More troops, aid, but hunger persists

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Troops, doctors and aid workers flowed into Haiti on Monday and officials said billions of dollars more will be needed following the quake that killed an estimated 200,000 people and left many still struggling to find a cup of water or a handful of food. European nations pledged more than a halfbillion dollars in emergency and long-term aid, on top of at least $100 million promised earlier by the U.S. The president of the neighboring Dominican Republic said it will cost far more to finally rebuild the country: $10 billion. Help was still not reaching many victims of Tuesday’s quake — choked back by transportation bottlenecks, bureaucratic confusion, fear of attacks on aid convoys, the collapse of local authority and the sheer scale of the need. Looting spread to more parts of downtown Portau-Prince as hundreds of young men and boys clambered up broken walls to break into shops and take whatever they can find. Especially prized was toothpaste, which people smear under their noses to fend off the stench of decaying bodies. At a collapsed and burning shop in the market area, youths used broken bottles, machetes and razors to battle for bottles of rum and police fired shots to break up the crowd. “I am drinking as much as I can. It gives courage,� said Jean-Pierre Junior, wielding a broken wooden plank with nails to protect his bottle of rum. Even so, the U.S.

BRIEFS Defense chief says no U.S. police role in Haiti ABOARD A U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT (AP) — U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Monday the U.S. forces in Haiti for earthquake relief can defend themselves and innocent Haitians or foreigners if lawlessness boils over. Gates said he does not foresee an expanded policing role for the United States, however. The United States is chiefly involved in distributing relief and will support the United Nations in providing security, Gates said. “I haven’t heard of us playing a policing role at any point,� Gates told reporters traveling with him to India for talks on defense cooperation, trade and relations between India and Pakistan. Gates gave a fuller explanation of the rules under which U.S. troops are operating than the Pentagon previously provided. Gates approved rules of engagement for U.S. forces on shore and aboard nearby ships. “Anywhere we deploy our troops they have the authority and the right to defend themselves,� Gates said, adding that the troops could also

defend others “if they see something happen.�

French minister criticizes U.S. aid role in Haiti

PARIS (AP) — The United Nations must investigate and clarify the dominant U.S. role in earthquake-ravaged Haiti, a French minister said Monday, claiming that international aid efforts were about helping Haiti, not “occupying� it. U.S. forces last week turned back a French aid plane carrying a field hospital from the damaged, congested airport in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, prompting a complaint from French Cooperation Minister Alain Joyandet. The plane landed safely the following day. French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner warned governments and aid groups not to squabble as they try to get their aid into Haiti. “People always want it to be their plane ... that lands,� Kouchner said Monday. “(But) what’s important is the fate of the Haitians.� But Joyandet persisted. “This is about helping Haiti, not about occupying Haiti,� Joyandet, in Brussels for an EU meeting on Haiti, said on French radio.

PUJOLS STANDS IN MCGWIRE’S CORNER ST. LOUIS (AP) — Albert Pujols is in Mark McGwire’s corner. The National League MVP offered his support to the St. Louis Cardinals’ new hitting coach, who admitted a week ago that he used steroids while breaking the single-season home run record. Pujols said Monday that he told McGwire he was proud of him for making the disclosure. He said he’s also looking forward to working with Big Mac in spring training. Pujols said he didn’t think McGwire admitted to steroids use to prop up his flagging chances for the Hall of Fame.

BASEBALL OFFERMAN BANNED FOR LIFE FROM LEAGUE SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — Jose Offerman was banned for life by the Dominican winter league for throwing a punch at an umpire during an argument on the baseball field. The former All-Star, manager of the Licey Tigers, appeared to hit first base umpire Daniel Rayburn in the face or neck with a fist during Saturday’s playoff game against the Cibao Giants. Rayburn fell to the ground. The Dominican league’s president, Leonardo Matos Berrido, announced the ban Monday.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Skip Holtz’s staff at South Florida will include five new assistants, as well as four holdovers who worked with the Bulls under fired coach Jim Leavitt. Mark Snyder, Todd Fitch, Vernon Hargreaves, Peter Vaas and Rick Smith were added on Monday. They join Kevin Patrick, Larry Scott, Carl Franks and Phil McGeoghan, who were retained from Leavitt’s staff. Specific staff titles were not announced. Holtz was hired last Friday, one week after Leavitt was fired for mistreating a player. Fitch, Hargreaves and Smith worked for Holtz at East Carolina.

ASHLEY GARNER/The Sanford Herald

SANFORD — When it comes to academics in junior college athletics, Central Carolina Community College sets itself above the rest of the pack. The athletic programs started in 1993 and since then, the Cougars have maintained higher academic standards than the National Junior College Athletic Association minimum. “We’ve had this standard since the beginning of our athletic programs,” said Central Carolina Athletics Director Mike Neal. “At Central Carolina, we put an emphasis on progressing students towards a degree and we take that very seriously by doing everything possible for that to happen.” Central Carolina requires a 2.0 grade-point

average for all students and makes no exceptions for athletes. If a student-athlete falls below the required GPA, they will be put on academic probation and may not participate in intercollegiate athletics for the following term. The NJCAA, however, requires a 1.5 GPA giving student-athletes some wiggle room in case they fail a course. After the first full year on campus, the NJCAA requires a 1.75 and in

Central Carolina’s Dejan Brown averages 16 points per game for the Cougars. The depleted Cougars See CCCC, Page 3B have lost four players due to academic issues.

CONCORD — The buzz surrounding Denny Hamlin started months before he took the checkered flag on last season’s finale. What was a murmur, though, suddenly became a roar. That November victory at Homestead, his careerbest fourth of the year, officially made Hamlin the trendy pick to Hamlin unseat reigning four-time champion Jimmie Johnson in 2010. But being the preseason favorite isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, as Carl Edwards would likely admit. He was the popular pick last year, and instead suffered through a winless season and an 11th-place finish in the standings. Hamlin is determined not to fall into that same trap. “I’ve been compared to Carl before. He had a really good rookie year and then had a sophomore slump and didn’t make the Chase,” Hamlin said Monday during the annual preseason media tour. “But I am not Carl Edwards and I am not with Roush-Fenway (Racing). I am Denny, I am with Joe Gibbs Racing and with an organization that does a really good job of minimizing the peaks and valleys. “So I don’t foresee any of the expectations being too far off.” Hamlin set the bar high himself this time last year, when he went into 2009 determined to put a full season together and take the personal steps needed to be a true championship contender. Although he’s made the Chase in each of his four seasons, he struggled to mount a legitimate challenge to Johnson. Despite his tough talk, Hamlin had doubters. It wasn’t until September, when he grabbed a breakthrough win at hometrack Richmond, that people began to notice he had indeed flipped a switch. He became more vocal about NASCAR’s rules and regulations, and took to Twitter to both offer his

the second year, it requires a 2.0 overall GPA. “We take academics very seriously,� said Neal. “We strive for everyone in our university to succeed, not just student-athletes. If a player gets on probation, we do everything we can to help them get off of it. It’s up to them to get the work done and get their grades up so they can play.� The standards apply to all athletic programs at Central Carolina, which include men’s basketball, volleyball and golf. Neal says that while he does not know of any other schools in the region suspending players from athletics for full academic terms, he still takes the college’s rules seriously and makes no exceptions. “I am not aware of any other college in our region that has suspended players for academics during a term,� said Neal. “This is something we’ve done

The Sanford Herald / Tuesday, January 19, 2010 / 3B several times, which shows how serious we are about our standards. Sometimes, we’ve even suspended our leading scorer in past seasons.� This basketball season, the Cougars have lost six players from their opening roster. They lost one to injury, who is seeking a medical hardship to try and return next season. Another player was suspended for a violation of team rules at the end of the fall semester. More importantly, however, the Cougars have lost four players because they did not meet the team’s academic requirements. This has left the Cougars with just seven players on the active roster for the remainder of the season. The depleted Cougars are 10-9 overall this season and are 0-1 in the NJCAA Division III Region-10 Tar Heel Conference. Neal says that despite the record and the limited roster, he is proud of the players that maintain the school’s academic standards because they are true student-athletes.

“I don’t judge our athletic success solely on wins and losses,� said Neal. “I measure it by how well we do in the classroom. If we have a team that does well in the classroom but doesn’t always win a game, then it’s a success in my book.� Central Carolina has an Academic Assistance Center available for all students. It gives free tutoring for all students that may need help in the classroom. If Neal or Cougar head coach Doug Connor has an athlete struggling in school, they recommend for the player to get a tutor to avoid possibly becoming ineligible. “If we have an athlete having academic issues, we recommend that they get a tutor to help them with the material,� said Neal. “We will help them as much as we can but we are not going to do the work for them. That’s something they’ve got to do themselves.� The shorthanded Cougars will hit the court against the Belmont Abbey junior varsity team at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Sanford.

“I know how much it fuels me up wanting to be the guy who takes him off his chair,� he said of Johnson. “I don’t think anyone else in the garage wants it worse than I do right now.� Hamlin had only one true off race in the Chase — a 22nd at Dover — but was hampered by mechanical failures at Charlotte and Talladega that ultimately contributed to his fifthplace finish in the standings. There was also a little incident at California, when driver error caused him to wreck while leading.

That wreck, though, was really Johnson’s fault, Hamlin now understands. “He forced me into a wreck at California. Not literally, but just mentally,� Hamlin said. “I knew he had the car to beat and there was no way I was going to beat him unless I outdrove him. And I drove over my head and got in a wreck. So he forced me to make a mistake, and that’s what he’s so good at. “That’s what champions do. They don’t make mistakes, they make others make mistakes.�

Apex finished in fifth place with a score of 107.15. Leesville was close behind in sixth place with a 106.5. Lee County’s crosstown rival Southern Lee finished in seventh place with a score of 105.7. Broughton finished in eighth place with a 103.05. The Yellow Jackets will

return to action on Friday for the Tri-9 Conference Championships. The meet will take place at Impact Gymnastics in Cary. They will look for their fourth straight championship on Jan. 30 when they go travel to the Raleigh School of Gymnastics for the state meet.

Bobcats hold off Kings, win fifth straight game CHARLOTTE (AP) — Gerald Wallace shook off an ankle injury to score 28 points, Raymond Felton finished a rebound shy of a triple-double and the Charlotte Bobcats held off a furious Sacramento comeback bid to beat the Kings 105-103 on Monday. The Bobcats’ fifth straight win and eighth in a row at home proved more difficult than expected. The Kings, who rallied from a 35-point deficit to win in Chicago last month, nearly pulled off a similar feat. Charlotte led 82-58 with 4 minutes left in the third quarter before Tyreke Evans helped the Kings get within a point. But Felton made some key baskets to put Charlotte above .500 this late in a season for the first time in team history. Knicks 99, Pistons 91 NEW YORK (AP) — Nate Robinson showed his game is much more than dunks, scoring 27 points Monday to lead the New York Knicks to a 99-91 victory and a split of a home-and-home series with the Detroit Pistons. Chosen earlier in the day to defend his slam dunk title at All-Star weekend, Robinson made five 3-pointers, one during a 7-0 spurt that started the fourth quarter and gave the Knicks the lead for good. Wizards 97, Trail Blazers 92 WASHINGTON (AP) — Antawn Jamison scored 21 of his 28 points after halftime, Caron Butler made two big baskets down the stretch and the Washington Wizards put together a rare winning streak Monday with a 97-92 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. Jamison was 3 for 10 from the field at halftime, but he shot 7 of 11 in the second half in a game that was close throughout. The victory gave the Wizards two wins in a

Thunder 94, Hawks 91 ATLANTA (AP) — Kevin Durant scored 29 points, Jeff Green had 15 points and 11 rebounds, and the Oklahoma City Thunder ended the Atlanta Hawks’ three-game winning streak with a 94-91 victory Monday. Oklahoma City improved to 15-4 against the Eastern Conference. Durant made his first 14 free-throw attempts before his 15th bounced off the rim in the final seconds. Atlanta’s Josh Smith called timeout in mid-air after grabbing the rebound. Warriors 114, Bulls 97 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Monta Ellis had 36 points, eight assists and five

rebounds, Corey Maggette added 32 points, six rebounds and five assists and the short-handed Golden State Warriors snapped a three-game losing streak with a 114-97 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday. Stephen Curry had 26 points, 10 rebounds and six assists and Andris Biedrins grabbed a season-high 19 rebounds to go with a career-best eight blocked shots as Golden State ended the Bulls’ four-game winning streak. Spurs 97, Hornets 90 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The nagging pain in Tony Parker’s left foot lingers, so he tries to play through it as best he can, with some days better than others. Unfortunately for the Hornets, Parker felt pretty good on Monday, then went out and scored 25 points as the San Antonio Spurs handed New Orleans a rare home loss, 97-90.

DEAR ABBY: I rent my own apartment and my family lives an hour’s drive away. My boyfriend of one year, “Mac,” lives about 10 minutes from me and spends the night a few times a week and viceversa. I got the flu last month and it developed into bronchitis. I was so sick I could barely drag myself out of bed. I asked Mac to come over and take care of me and he said, “No, I don’t want to get sick. I’ll come by when you’re better.” Abby, if someone cares about you, don’t you think he should help out — maybe make some soup, give you water at your bedside and just be there in general? If Mac got sick like that, I would go over and take care of him. But he wasn’t willing to do the same. He said he doesn’t feel it is “his job.” I am upset by this. Is it an indication of how he would be if we got married? — IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH DEAR IN SICKNESS: Yup. It appears Mac isn’t the nurturing kind. However, if he has everything else you’re looking for in a man, this needn’t be a deal breaker. Instead of expecting him to intuit what you need, try telling him what you want. Example: “Send some soup over.” “Please empty the trash.” “Call an ambulance.” You get the idea. If that doesn’t do the trick,

DEAR UNWILLING: Is no one, including your boss’s assistant, close enough to him to tell him that his loud phone conversations are distracting his employees and colleagues and offer to shut his door for him so he can have privacy? Most employers would prefer their workers and colleagues operate at maximum capacity, particularly in this economy. o

then scratch Mac. o DEAR ABBY: One of my bosses insists on using his speakerphone for conversations — business and personal — with his office door wide open. He speaks loudly, and both sides of the conversation can be clearly heard throughout the office. He also walks through the hallways with his cell on speakerphone. Everyone who works here finds his behavior annoying and boorish. No one says anything, and he doesn’t get the message when a chorus of doors slam shut each time he begins one of these calls or walks by with his cell phone blasting. Any ideas on how to address this issue? — UNWILLING THIRD PARTY

DEAR ABBY: Please settle a dispute between my wife and me. One of her co-workers, “Cassie,” is eight months pregnant and also overweight. My wife saw her and said, “Wow, you’ve gotten as big as a house!” Cassie told her she was hurt by the comment. In my wife’s opinion, what she said is not uncommon when said to a pregnant woman and she thinks Cassie was overly sensitive. I believe the comment was inappropriate. What do you think? — NEEDS A MEDIATOR, GAINESVILLE, FLA. DEAR NEEDS A MEDIATOR: I agree with you. No one — pregnant or not — wants to be told she resembles an orca, and your wife should have kept her observation to herself.

ODDS AND ENDS North Dakota city skips a day on new calendar GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota residents and others relying on a new calendar issued by the city of Grand Forks will get a jump-start on February. The recently issued City of Grand Forks 2010 Calendar is missing Sunday, Jan. 31. City spokesman John Bernstrom says the error was noticed when boxes of the calendar printed by Fine Print of Grand Forks were opened before Christmas. Bernstrom says if Jan. 31 had been a weekday in which there was garbage or recycling collection, the city would have issued a correction or public statement. Feb. 1 appears on the calendar as a Monday so the rest of the year is correct. Fine Print President Kevin Kuntz says January is the coldest month of the year and having one day less works for him.

Romanian claims negative energy lost him election BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — In the latest bizarre claim to come out of Romania’s presidential race last year, the loser and his wife have claimed he was subject to attacks of negative energy by aides of President Traian Basescu during a crucial debate. Former Foreign Minister Mircea Geoana who lost the Dec. 6 runoff, claimed Basescu ordered the attacks against him, Mediafax news agency reported Monday. “During the Dec. 3 debate ... people who were working for Basescu in this domain were present to the right of the camera. ... I saw them and I know who they are,” Geoana told Antena 3 television. Geoana fared badly in parts of the debate.

SUDOKU

MY ANSWER His wife Mihaela Geoana said Saturday her husband “was very badly attacked, he couldn’t concentrate.” Former President Ion Iliescu dismissed the allegations as “discussions for naive people, for uneducated people,” according to Monday’s edition of the daily Gandul. Geoana aide Viorel Hrebenciuc has previously alleged there was a “violet flame” conspiracy during the campaign. He said Basescu dressed in purple on Thursdays to increase his chance of victory. Asked about the violet connection, Basescu joked earlier this month that “it was the color of the year” in 2009. Basescu narrowly won the election. Geoana’s Social Democracy Party claimed the ballot was marred by fraud.

Bomb donated to Kodiak museum goes out with a bang KODIAK, Alaska (AP) — A World War II relic that was displayed outside an Alaska bar for years turned out not to be a dud. Soldiers on Wednesday detonated the 1,263-pound aerial bomb. Radio station KMXT reports it lost some of its boom after 60 years, but it did go with a bang. The ordnance was recently donated to the Kodiak Military History Museum by a local resident, but the museum director determined it was more than just an interesting artifact. Soldiers from the Fort Richardson Explosive Ordnance detail inspected the bomb and determined it still had Dunnite, a highly explosive material also known as “Explosive D.” They recorded the detonation and salvaged a piece of the “Da Bomb,” as it was known, for display at the museum.

God uses doctors to heal us Q: Does God still heal people, like He did when Jesus was on earth? If He does, then why do we need doctors and medicine? Shouldn’t a strong faith be enough, and isn’t that what God wants us to have? -- Mrs. L.P. A: I have no doubt that God does intervene on occasion to heal people without the aid of medicine -- but nowhere does the Bible urge us to reject medical treatment. God has given us the ability to develop modern medical treatments, and we should see them as a gift from His hand. It’s interesting that Luke, who wrote two major books in the New Testament (Luke and Acts), was a physician; Paul called him “our dear friend Luke, the doctor” (Colossians 4:14). Luke witnessed a number of miracles while traveling with the Apostle Paul, and he realized that they came from God’s hand. But he never rejected the use of his medical skills, because he knew God could use them to bring healing. This doesn’t mean, however, that we shouldn’t pray when someone is sick and ask God to heal them. Ultimately, our lives are in God’s hands, and even when He uses medicine to bring about a person’s healing, He still should get the credit. The Bible is clear: “From the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death” (Psalm 68:20). You are right, however, when you say that God wants us to have a strong faith. But how does our faith grow? It begins with our personal commitment to Jesus Christ and His will for our lives.
