Kost to deliver ‘State of the County’ address March 15

Ellmers to file for election today

PITTSBORO — Chatham County Chairman Sally Kost will present the 2010 “State of the County� address at 6 p.m. on March 15, near the beginning of the regular board meeting. “The address provides a summary of major initiatives and accomplishments for Chatham County government over the past year as well as important trends and challenges facing the county,� said Kost. “This has been a very busy year with many major projects, but also a challenging fiscal time due to the recession.�

The State of the County Address was initiated two years ago to help keep residents informed on important county issues and services. The address will coincide with the release of the county’s printed 2009 Annual Highlight report.

The Superior Courtroom is located inside the traffic circle in Pittsboro, on the second floor.

RALEIGH — Republican Renee Ellmers of Dunn will officially file papers to seek North Carolina’s Second District Congressional seat.

Ellmers is one of five Republicans who has announced plans to challenge Democrat Bob Etheridge, a Lillington tobacco farmer who has held the seat since 1997.

Ellmers, a nurse, will file for the seat 3:30 p.m. today at the state Board of Elections in Raleigh. — from staff reports

County urges caution on water line service solicitation

LILLINGTON — Harnett County sheriff’s deputies are looking for a man who went missing Sunday night.

Family members of Nathaniel McLean, 48, of Back Pack Lane in Lillington reported him missing around 8:30 p.m. Sunday. He was last seen at his residence on Back Pack Lane, which is located off of Raven Rock Road about a mile from Raven Rock Park.

McLean is a black male who stands 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds.

He was last seen wearing a green and beige shirt, a green coat and blue jeans.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office at (910) 893-9111.

LILLINGTON — A number of local residents have contacted Harnett County during the past several weeks about a mailing received from Home Service USA Corp. offering “Water Line Service Coverage.�

This mailing was not directed, endorsed or approved by the Harnett County Department of Public Utilities and Harnett County is in no way associated with Home Service USA Corp. or the services it is offering for sale.

The mailing from Home Service USA Corp. advertises that homeowners can purchase water line service coverage for the “costs associated with repairs or replacement of a leaking or broken water service line on your property.� The mailing further states that “Home Service is an independent company that partners with many large utility companies and protects hundred of thousands of households across the US from emergencies related to broken water service lines.�

Harnett County is not a partner of Home Service USA Corp. and Harnett County does not require that you purchase “Water Line Service Coverage.�

Impossible to sit, stand, walk...

It was all I could do to get in my car to get to the doctor’s ofďŹ ce. During my ďŹ rst exam, my range of motion was VERY limited! It was almost impossible to sit, stand, walk or even breathe!

After examining my x-rays, we started treatment.

After a mild adjustment on my neck, by that afternoon, I could see improvement. The next few days, my pain decreased drastically! As each visit passed, my pain was less and less. I truly believe in chiropractic care and would recommend it to anyone suffering from back pain as I did.

Thanks Dr. Ammons & Dr. Silvester!

Kudos to CCH for chest pain accreditation Our View Issue: Central Carolina Hospital recently received certification as a Chest Pain Center

Our stance: The hospital is working hard to best serve our community, and that’s a great thing

I

t’s likely that if you’re reading this editorial, you or someone you know have had chest pains ... or, perhaps congestive heart failure.

The statistics speak for themselves — more than 5.3 million Americans are affected by congestive heart failure.

When those chest pains begin, it’s important for individuals to seek immediate medical attention.

It’s understandable that oftentimes area citizens have sought treatment at larger hospitals in Pinehurst, Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. Medical centers in each of those locations are re-

nowned and have provided great care over the years.

But when it comes to heart pain — and possible heart failure — time is of the essence. There’s no time to drive longer distances, especially when good care is available here in Lee County.

Central Carolina Hospital has receive full accreditation as a “chest pain center” by the Society of Chest Pain Centers.

RN Jeanette Wood, the hospital’s chest pain accreditation coordinator, says of the recognition, “It tells patients we have the best practices for acute coronary care.

We’re confident that one you’re under our care, you’ll receive

top-notch quality care.”

One way of assurance of such care is to get those patients with chest pain an electrocardiogram (EKG) within 10 minutes of arrival, according to CCH CEO Doug Doris. The EKG helps to determine what steps should be taken for the respective patient.

Central Carolina Hospital deserves much credit in procuring such accreditation and working to assure that local residents can achieve high quality health care here without having to travel longer distances.

As Doris said: “We want to be the community’s hospital of choice, and this recognition

is just part of our efforts to be nationally recognized for our quality care.”

It’s not the first heart-related recognition for the hospital, which proudly boasts on its website: “CCH is the first hospital in North Carolina to earn the Silver award in Heart Failure (HF) care from the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines program. CCH also earned the Silver for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).”

Obviously, the hospital is working hard to best serve our area residents — and that’s something for which we all should be grateful.

LETTERS Frazier-Cemetery intersection dangerous To the Editor:

Scott Mooneyham Today in North Carolina Scott Mooneyham is a columnist with Capitol Press Association

Who’s left standing?

T

he court decision raised important questions easily lost in both the subject matter, and the legal process and language.

The subject matter was business incentives, and once again, the North Carolina Court of Appeals dismissed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of tax breaks and cash grants handed out by state government to lure new businesses.

The questions raised by the decision were more basic, cutting to core issues of representative democracy: When do citizens have the right to challenge the constitutionality of laws? At what point are we, as taxpayers or voters or citizens, damaged by legislative and executive branch actions that may not be constitutional?

The case raised these questions because a three-member panel of the Court of Appeals — Judges Sam Ervin IV, John Martin and Barbara Jackson — didn’t decide the lawsuit on its merits.

Rather, the judges ruled that the three taxpayers suing to stop incentives given to a Google server farm did not have the legal standing to bring the suit.

Essentially, the court said that the taxpayers’ relationship to the Google award was far too general, that they couldn’t suffer specific damage simply because they pay taxes that might make up some fraction of the money going to Google. ...

The issue isn’t that some portion of these three taxpayers’ payments to the state — be it a dollar, a penny or a fraction of a penny — went to Google, and therefore the state subjected them to unequal taxation.

Unequal taxation occurs on the front end, not the back end. The issue is the hole left by companies like Google who essentially pay no tax or less tax because of incentive legislation, and how that may cause other taxpayers to pay more.

Interestingly enough, the decision never makes mention of last year’s $1 billion tax hike.

More troubling, Ervin, the author of the opinion, never provides any context about who could ever bring such a lawsuit. Who, under this court’s view of legal standing and incentives, could challenge a law that was clearly drafted to benefit one and only one company?

If the answer can only be dreamed up in the theoretical — oh, you know, another search engine company opening a server farm that was going to invest a half billion dollars here and, because of some technicality, didn’t get incentives — then the decision on its face is bad law.

And if, based on court decisions, classes of taxpayers become so narrow as to undo the whole concept of unequal taxation, then the good judges might as well put a match to the state constitution.

Perhaps a business bringing the lawsuit might have been a more ideal plaintiff. But businesses and individuals pay sales tax, and state law makes no distinction between the rates.

If that doesn’t make me, and you, and every business and individual a “similarly situated taxpayer,” what does?

Obama’s stimulus plan

W

hen you’re president of the United States and your primary claim to fame is your economic prowess but your economic record fails by all objective measures, what do you do? You call on your skills as a virtuoso propagandist.

With the perceived catastrophic economic crisis of 2008-09, President Barack Obama captured the presidency at the perfect time in America’s modern history for him to unleash his grandiose socialist policies — policies so ambitious that the American people would never have tolerated them under any other circumstances.

With the nation in near panic over the impending doom of the economy, Obama presented his now-infamous “stimulus plan” to artificially create government demand by spending more than $800 billion of borrowed money to “jump-start the economy.”

Being a die-hard Keynesian, Obama probably believed his program would create jobs.

But given his attitude about the wealthy being undeserving of their good fortune, he probably wasn’t risking too much in the event it didn’t work. The funds would redistribute wealth to those less fortunate and whom society, in Obama’s view, has cheated. It would also force allocations of money to “green” enterprises that would never be pursued if left to the sanity of private-sector consumer demand, further expand the public sector in general and provide ample slush money to reward unions and other supporters to shore up his re-election efforts.

According to Keynesian theory, as I understand it, it doesn’t matter much where the government spends other people’s money — just as long as it spends it. Once the money is injected into the economy (never mind that an equal amount is taken out of the economy from the private sector), a multiplier effect unfolds to stimulate economic growth and jobs.

But just to hedge his bets, Obama was careful in choosing his words in predicting the coming prosperity. He said he would “save or create 3 million jobs” — or whatever number suited his purposes at the particular speech he was giving. Reasonable people said at the time that this was a bizarre formulation — that it would be impossible to prove or disprove such a claim — but the media dutifully ignored the skeptics.

But Obama wasn’t always disciplined in his message. Sometimes he allowed his exalted opinion of himself to seduce him into projecting that his plan would guarantee that unemployment would not exceed 8 percent.

A year later, with employment still about 10 percent, Obama has dispatched his minions to tout the enormous “success” of his plan, without which, he claims, we would have suffered a depression. It’s no accident that he included “audacity” in the title of one of his books.

By every reasonable measure, his stimulus plan has been an abject failure. When you examine the empirical evidence, you’ll find there is an inverse relationship between the monies he spent and employment; as more

David Limbaugh Columnist David Limbaugh is a columnist with Creators Syndicate

money was spent, there was less employment.

The chart doesn’t lie.

Obama now claims he saved some 2 million jobs that would not have been saved but for his stimulus package. But as Heritage Foundation scholars note, he bases his numbers not on any evidence whatsoever, but on the preposterously circular argument that Keynesian theory holds that these government expenditures must have created that number of jobs.

But in fact, reports Heritage, we have lost 3 million real jobs held by real people (as opposed to cartoon characters producing widgets), making the gap between Obama’s promised 3 million jobs gained and the actual jobs lost some 6 million jobs. In the meantime, most of the money Obama purloined from the private sector has been completely wasted. Did you see the report that his inane plan to create 90,000 “green” jobs throughout America has succeeded in weatherizing only 9,000 homes at an average cost of $57,362? But don’t worry; Obama hasn’t finished spending all our money yet, and he’s planning a second stimulus as we speak. There is never a shortage of cartoon characters or widgets.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you that history doesn’t repeat. For 70 years, liberals have been spinning the yarn that FDR’s New Deal, despite all the evidence that it exacerbated and prolonged the Great Depression, quickened our economic recovery. Indeed, I remember scratching my head when one of my college history professors in the 1970s tried to convince us of that theory and its corollary — an even better howler — that FDR was actually a conservative, because if he hadn’t implemented his socialist programs, the republic would have died right there.

But despite all of Obama’s assaults on America and its solvency during the past year, we have witnessed one encouraging development: The American people aren’t buying his propaganda anymore — so let him keep talking.

Today’s Prayer Sing unto him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise. (Psalm 33:3) PRAYER: Father, we thank You for giving us music, so we may praise You in song.

Amen.

The intersection of Frazier Drive and Cemetery Road is a very dangerous intersection. Within the past month, three wrecks have occurred there. Over the past few years, at least a dozen or more accidents have occurred (one which involved a fatality and others involving injuries.)

Some drivers travel much too fast on both of these roads. To my knowledge, only one of the wrecks occurred late at night. The others happened during the day when visibility was good.

Not only are residents who live in this area at risk every day, but school buses with children going to J. Glenn Edwards School on Cemetery Road are also in danger.

Cars involved in the wrecks after being hit, often ending up in the yard of one of the homes at the corners. Thank God children were not playing in the yard when these accidents occurred. I might emphasize, however, such a tragedy could happen.

There are stop signs on Frazier Drive and even a painted warning on the street: “STOP AHEAD.” This has not been a deterrent in keeping accidents from happening at this intersection.

Residents have requested the councilmen do something before another fatality happens. Last year, a work crew painted an “island” on Frazier Drive, which did no good at all and has faded away.

A stoplight or four-way flashing red light would have a more effective result and would not impede the flow of traffic like an “island” would do.

We urge the councilmen to act on this as a priority before another tragedy occurs.

REID CRAIG Sanford

Urban archery plan a ridiculous idea To the Editor: I think the proposal to allow bow and arrow hunting within Sanford city limits is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.

There isn’t enough space in rural areas to kill deer? Will having men shoot bows and arrow within city limits really make things better? Is it as safe as deer hunters want you to believe?

Do we really need more deer running around with arrows sticking out of their bodies? What could be more cruel?

Of course hunters are going to be in favor of such a proposal, and Mark Brady and his archery shop has everything to gain by such a proposal going through.

People should learn a lot more about the restrictions that Pittsboro has put into place, regarding urban deer hunting and not just accepting the urgings of a deer hunter who wants to make deer hunting a little easier for himself.

Brogan is a firsttime candidate for the Reives county’s District 2 seat currently held by Democrat Jamie Brogan Kelly.

Kelly, first elected in 2006, hasn’t announced whether he’ll seek re-election to the seat. “I think I’m typical of many people who are unhappy with government and tired of politics as usual. Government is not like a business that has to make a profit. It really is more like a family household, and that will be my approach to my responsibilities,� she said Monday. “For example, when there is an unexpected expense I can’t make across-theboard cuts in my family budget. I have to prioritize what items have to be cut back or done without.

We may have to cut out something or delay future purchases. This would be my strategy for avoiding property tax increases.�

Brogan noted that she’d like to reform the county’s economic development

policy, which is currently based on incentives, or tax breaks, for companies that agree to locate or expand in the area. “Our current economic development program based on incentives is not working and needs to be re-evaluated in light of the changes in our economy,� she said.

Monday’s filings mean that every seat on the county board which is up for election in 2010 will have at least one candidate. Democrat Amy Dalrymple so far faces no opposition in her bid for re-election to the District 2 seat, and Republican Linda Shook faces a challenge from Democrat Mike Womble in her bid for a second term on the county’s District 3 seat.

County-wide seats up for grabs in the 2010 election include Lee County sheriff and Lee County clerk of court. Respective incumbents Tracy Carter (Republican) and Susie Thomas (Democrat) have both filed for re-election; neither faces a challenge yet.

Two incumbents on the Lee County Board of Education, Linda Smith and Ellen Mangum, have also filed for re-election.

Former board member John Bonardi filed to run on the first day of the filing period and Kim Lilley announced last week that she plans to make a second bid for a seat. Incumbent Frank Thompson Sr. has not said whether he’ll seek re-election.

The non-partisan school board races will be decided in the May primary.

The filing period ends Friday at 5 p.m. Candidates should file in person at the Lee County Board of Elections, 225 S. Steele St. The elections office can be reached at (919) 718-4646.

Shooting Continued from Page 1A

Taurean Tyrell Gunter, 19, of 417 Kenwood Trail was charged Sunday with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury after allegedly shooting two men at a private party on the Lions Club Fairgrounds.

Gunter was on probation for a similar crime at the time of his arrest.

Police took Gunter into custody as he tried to leave the Lions Club Fairgrounds around 3:10 a.m. Sunday. Officers had arrived about an hour before that in response to a call that Franklin Dorsett, 25, and Errick Washington, 29, had been shot during the course of the party.

Dorsett suffered an injury to his groin and Washington suffered gun shots to the neck and thigh; both men are expected to recover.

The fairgrounds has been home several private parties recently.

At least six of them have resulted in shootings.

“The fairgrounds has turned into our new hot spot for shootings,” Capt. David Smith of the Sanford Police Department said. “Going back to January of 2008, we’ve had 32 calls there. Everything from breaking and entering to vehicles

to fights and people discharging firearms. We’ve had six calls for shootings there in that time.”

Richard Hendley, president of the Sanford Lions Club, couldn’t be reached Monday to say whether the club plans to continue renting the building at the fairgrounds for events like the party held Saturday night.

But Smith indicated that police may put and end of their own to the parties. He noted that organizers may face charges over the large amounts of alcohol and evidence that it was being sold found in the building. The party’s organizers didn’t have any permits allowing them to sell alcohol, Smith said.

As for Gunter, police said Monday they hoped Sunday’s incident will be the last for him. Court documents show he has a criminal record consisting of more than 50 charges going back years. The charges, most of which were dismissed, include multiple counts of assault, robbery and various drug charges. Sanford police officers list him as a known gang member.

In each of the past two years, Gunter has been charged in connection with shootings.

In June of 2008, he was accused by city police of shooting three teen-

age girls at a party on Boykin Avenue in what police described as one of a series of retaliatory shootings between rival gangs.

Prosecutors dismissed those charges in September of the same year.

A year after the first shooting incident, Gunter was again charged with firing a gun at homes on Evergreen Street and Dudley Avenue. In that case, prosecutors dismissed two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill after he agreed to plead guilty to one count of the charge.

Gunter was given three years of supervised probation in that case.

2007 charges of possessing a stolen firearm and possessing a weapon of mass destruction were dismissed in April of 2009, and a Novemeber 2008 charge of firing a gun inside the city limits was dismissed in January of 2009.

Detectives who handled these cases expressed frustration that, often, they weren’t even let know that charges would be dismissed.

“The charges were dismissed and I found out through word of mouth,” said Det. Vinny Frazier of the Sanford Police Department.

Frazier was the lead detective on the case involving Gunter’s 2007 weapons charges.

Other detectives reported finding out that charges they’d filed against Gunter had been dismissed without their knowledge as well.

“Hopefully he’ll be put away this time,” Smith said.

Gunter is in the Lee County Jail under $1 million secured bond.

killed in action. Fighting lasted just longer than a month.

The anniversary of the battle and event “means a lot to me. It’s something that you’re proud of. I’m proud of being a Marine,” McLeod said.

Personally witnessing such a notable part of history was “exciting,” he said.

“We knew so many of the boys, everybody that was blown up. That was my outfit,” he said proudly.

Seventeen-year-old McLeod entered the service in 1944, serving as a sniper. His group went through extensive training in California, so that the moves became natural, he said.

“You learn to protect the person in front of you, the person behind you and the people on either side of you,” he said.

Upon arriving at Iwo Jima, his unit was told to secure the left side of the island, which they took in one day, McLeod said.

Thousands of men died during the battle, and many men were wounded more than once.

“I was there too much.

I got the legs to prove it,” McLeod said, who was hit in both the back and legs. He said the man who loaded him onto the stretcher was John Bradley, father of “Flags of Our Fathers” author James Bradley.

He remembers seeing bodies piled in corners everywhere he went.

Facts on The Battle of Iwo Jima n The Battle of Iwo Jima, or Operation Detachment, actually lasted from Feb. 19 to March 26, 1945. The battle produced some of the fiercest fighting in the Pacific Campaign of World War II. n The battle was the first American attack on the Japanese home islands n During this one-month-long battle, 27 U.S. military personnel were awarded the Medal of Honor for their actions, 14 of them posthumously. This represents more than a quarter of the medals awarded during the entirety of World War II. n Of the 22,786 Japanese soldiers entrenched on the island, 21,570 died either from fighting or by ritual suicide. Only 216 were captured during the battle. The Allied forces suffered 26,038 casualties, with 6,821 killed in action. The number of American casualties was greater than the total Allied casualties on D-Day. n The battle has been the subject of many Hollywood films, including “Sands of Iwo Jima,” a 1949 American film starring John Wayne, and “Flags of Our Fathers” and “Letters from Iwo Jima,” two films directed by Clint Eastwood.

death,” he said. “I had a habit of sticking my bayonet in people to make sure they were dead. You just don’t know.”

“You can’t put it in words because you don’t know what death smells like ... Bullets, bullets — it’s unreal. I could hold my hand up and I wouldn’t have a hand.”

He remembers crouching in his foxhole for extended periods of time, and “if you had to do your business, you had to do your business right there.”

Simply staying alive was the motivation behind many of the soldiers’ moves, he said.

“You’ve got to realize that death is so close to you,” he said, tearing up and sitting silently for a minute or so. Decades later, reliving the memories is difficult for McLeod.

“Everything is a tragedy in life. You don’t like

to talk about them and you always remember,” he said. “Battle is a funny thing. I’ve always been competitive in sports ... but there’s nothing competitive about a battle.”

Though he’s proud of his experiences, he said he wouldn’t want anyone else to go through them.

“It’s been a lifetime of history,” he said. “I’m not necessarily a hero. I’m just one of the instances that got caught up in the battle.”

McLeod is a member of the Marine Corp League and used to go to the Marine reunions, though he said he’s become too old for that now. When he’s attended the past few years, he’s noticed the number of Iwo Jima veterans dwindling.

“I can go to reunions now and see nobody I know,” he said. “It’s hard for me to remember them all together.”

STATE BRIEFS Governor worried about lack of small biz loans

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue wants the federal government to ease tight credit markets making it hard for small banks to lend money to growing businesses.

Perdue said on Monday she planned to meet with the head of the Small Business Administration before her trip to Washington for the National Governors Association ends. Perdue has been in the nation’s capital since Saturday.

She told reporters in a phone call that community banks in the state tell her they’re over-regulated by Washington and hesitant to lend. The governor would like the Obama administration to create a small loan pool.

Perdue also said she told Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood her disappointment about only receiving $10 million in federal stimulus grants to replace the aging Yadkin River bridge along Interstate 85.

Ex-prosecutor pleads guilty in ticket fixing SMITHFIELD (AP) — A former North Carolina prosecutor at the center of a scheme to fix drunken-driving tickets has pleaded guilty to obstructing justice and other charges and is headed to prison.

Two GOP candidates — Asheboro city councilman Eddie Burks and Hendersonville business owner Brad Jones — also have filed to challenge Burr in the primary. The filing period closes Friday at noon.

Cunningham tried again Monday to compel the other Democratic candidates to participate in an “open discussion� about jobs and the economy, preferably at the state party’s executive committee meeting March 6 in Durham. Lewis and Cunningham sought a similar event a few weeks ago, but it didn’t come together due in part due

No televised debates have yet been organized for the Senate Democratic primary, although the party is assembling two forums, the first for March 8 in Winston-Salem. Marshall said she, Lewis and Cunningham attended an event in Winston-Salem on Sunday night, and she stayed afterward to take questions from voters.

Lewis and Marshall plan to speak Tuesday night to some Chatham County Democrats. Cunningham won’t attend because of a scheduling conflict, his campaign said.

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Republican incumbent Richard Burr and Democratic hopeful Elaine Marshall filed their paperwork Monday to get on the ballot for U.S. Senate this year, marking the official entry of the candidates with the longest political resumes in the race.

Burr, a five-term U.S. House member who defeated Democrat Erskine Bowles in 2004 to join the Senate, filed his candidacy forms and entry check through a campaign aide Monday morning at the State Board of Elections.

About an hour later, Marshall and more than a dozen supporters cheered as she turned in her information and $1,740 candidate fee â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one percent of the Senate salary.

Marshall â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secretary of state since 1997 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said she was the most qualified Democrat to take on Burr in November, citing

her efforts as an elected official to investigate securities fraud, push for lobbying law changes and help small businesses work their way through required paperwork.

Three other Democrats are seeking the nomination in the May 4 primary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somebody who has a very clear record, voters have something can rely upon, rather than folks who make very good stump speeches but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a track record,â&#x20AC;?

Marshall told reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a clear distinction between candidates.â&#x20AC;?

Burr held an open house at his Winston-Salem campaign headquarters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Six years ago, I made a commitment to serve North Carolinians,â&#x20AC;? Burr said in a prepared statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only North Carolinians can determine if I have upheld that commitment and give me the opportunity to continue my service to this state.â&#x20AC;?

8A / Tuesday, February 23, 2010 / The Sanford Herald HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL

NATION BRIEFS

Outlook no brighter for Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Starting over on health care, President Barack Obama knows his chances arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking much more promising.

A year after he called for a far-reaching overhaul, Obama unveiled his most detailed plan yet on Monday. Realistically, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just hoping to win a big enough slice to silence the talk of a failing presidency.

The 10-year, $1 trillion plan, like the current Democratic version in the Senate, would bring health insurance to more than 31 million Americans who now lack it. Government insurance wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be included, a problem for Democratic progressives.

Republicans are skeptical about where the money would come from â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and about Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim that the plan wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raise the federal deficit.

Striking out in one fresh direction that should have wide appeal, Obama would give federal regulators new powers over the insurance industry, a reaction to a rash of doubledigit premium hikes that have infuriated policy holders in California and other states.

The plan is supposed to be the starting point for Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s televised, bipartisan health care summit Thursday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a new beginning after a year of wrangling and letting Congress take the lead. Yet Republicans were quick to dismiss it as a meld of two Democratic bills the public doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want. Democrats, while reaffirming their commitment to major changes, reacted cautious-

President Barack Obama speaks to members of the National Governors Association Monday in the State Dinning Room of the White House in Washington. ly, mindful that Obama is asking them to stake their political fortunes in the fall elections.

In the end, Americans who have listened to a year of talk about big changes in their health care, may see much smaller changes, if any. The president is likely to have to settle for much less than he wants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; small-bore legislation that would smooth the rough edges of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s system but stop well short of coverage for nearly everyone.

Still, any kind of win on health care would be good for Obama right now. For a president, victory often begets victory, defeat spawns defeat. A modest achievement would allow Obama to move on to other pressing issues, claiming credit for getting something done despite the harshest partisan environment in

years.

White House spokesman Dan Pfeiffer called the proposal â&#x20AC;&#x153;an opening bidâ&#x20AC;? for Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One thing I want to be very clear about is that the president expects and believes the American people deserve an upor-down vote on health reform,â&#x20AC;? he said.

But privately, a senior White House official sought to lower expectations, saying a solid single is better than striking out swinging for the fences.

He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

Liberal Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., one of the rank-and-file lawmakers who would have to close ranks to pass Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal, questioned whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left in it for him after the president decided to dump a government

Democratic jobs bill faces key hurdle

insurance option sought by progressives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For many of us, the House bill represented a series of difficult compromises, and if the president is going to ask us to compromise further to go toward the Senate, I have to ask whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting,â&#x20AC;? Weiner said.

That means the plan is unlikely to pass without an all-out effort by Obama to muster votes from anxious Democrats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think all of us are going to have to sell this,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., the thirdranking Democrat in the House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The devil is in the details.â&#x20AC;?

If Obama ultimately settles for a pared-down plan, the final bill could look a lot like what Republicans have been calling for over many years.

It would include federal funding for high-risk pools that would extend coverage to people denied because of medical problems, a new insurance marketplace for small employers and individuals buying their own policies, as well as tax credits for small businesses.

White House senior adviser David Axelrod said the president had no intention of scaling back his vision â&#x20AC;&#x201D; unless forced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His goal is to make as much of a good-faith effort as we can possibly musterâ&#x20AC;? for a broad remake, Axelrod said.

When Obama began his health care overhaul effort a year ago, he sought to avoid the problems former President Bill Clinton encountered when he issued Congress a detailed prescription in the 1990s, a plan that failed and contributed to the Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; loss of Congress in 1994. Now Obama is being criticized for having been too deferential to lawmakers.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Republicans are trying to stall a scaled-back jobs bill in the hope of adding more tax cuts now that Democrats need GOP help to advance their own and President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda in an election year.

The bill, by Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is a far smaller measure than Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $862 billion economic stimulus bill enacted a year ago. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also significantly smaller than a rival bipartisan bill unveiled earlier this month by two senior senators.

But the measure still features the key job-producing element of that bipartisan accord: Exempting businesses hiring the unemployed from Social Security payroll taxes through December and giving them another $1,000 credit if new workers stay on the job a full year.

The wrangling over the jobs issue provides the first major test for both Democrats and Republicans of how to make the Senate work now that Democrats can no longer be guaranteed of defeating GOP filibusters. Assuming Republicans succeed in stalling the measure, Reid likely will offer concessions, a pattern that could play out on a host of issues between now and the November elections.

Bomb plot suspect Zazi cites â&#x20AC;&#x2122;martyrdomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attack NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A former airport shuttle driver accused of buying beauty supplies to make bombs for an attack on New York City subways pleaded guilty Monday, admitting he agreed to conduct an al-Qaida-led â&#x20AC;&#x153;martyrdom planâ&#x20AC;? because of U.S. involvement in his native Afghanistan.

Najibullah Zazi told a judge the terror network recruited him to be a suicide bomber in New York, where he went to high school and once worked a coffee car just blocks from the World Trade Center site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would sacrifice myself to

The Associated Press learned earlier this month that the jailed Zazi had recently volunteered information about the bomb plot in the first step toward a plea deal.

3 police officers acquitted in subway sodomy case NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A New York City police officer accused of sodomizing a drug suspect in a subway station was acquitted Monday after defense attorneys spent weeks chipping away at the credibility of the accuser, a self-professed gang member who admitted to smoking pot regularly. Two colleagues were acquitted of a cover-up.

Officer Richard Kern had faced as many as 25 years in prison if convicted of aggravated sexual abuse, while Officers Andrew Morales and Alex Cruz could have gotten up to four years on charges of hindering prosecution.

The defendantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; families sighed loudly and cried softly as the verdict was read.

After jurors were dismissed, the officers hugged their attorneys and families, and representatives from their union clapped each other on the back.

Toyota faces federal probes WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Federal prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation into Toyota Motor Corp.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety problems and the Securities and Exchange Commission was probing what the automaker told investors, the company disclosed Monday. Newly released internal documents showed that Toyota officials visited with U.S. regulators years ago who â&#x20AC;&#x153;laughed and rolled their eyes in disbeliefâ&#x20AC;? over safety claims.

The twin developments created new public relations challenges for Toyota plus the prospects â&#x20AC;&#x201D; however likely or unlikely â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of hefty federal fines or even indictments against executives in the U.S. and Japan. They also complicate Toyotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to discuss details driving its recall of 8.5 million vehicles because anything executives say could be used against the company inside a courtroom.

Top Toyota executives were expected to testify at hearings Tuesday and Wednesday on Capitol Hill. One lawmaker said he believed Toyota misled owners about the repairs and relied upon a hastily-arranged study to reassure the public.

E-BRIEFS

Silverstone having a great â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By ALICIA RANCILIO Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Many of us groan at the idea of starting a work week and count the days until the weekends. Alicia Silverstone, on the other hand, loves her current gig in the Broadway play â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time Stands Stillâ&#x20AC;? so much, she thinks of it as camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever you get to do a really good movie or a really good job (like theater), ... itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in camp,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going on an adventure and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just so stimulated.â&#x20AC;?

And the Manhattan Theatre Club production definitely is stimulating.

Written by Donald Margulies, the play opened last month to excellent reviews and has been extended through March 27. It concerns a war photographer named Sarah (Laura Linney) and her journalist boyfriend (Brian dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arcy James).

Sarah returns home to New York after being injured in Iraq. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s readjusting to life away from the front lines of battle and reconnects with her editor (Eric Bogosian) and his much younger girlfriend Mandy (Silverstone), who provides much of the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comic relief.

Upon meeting Sarah

Alicia Silverstone and Eric Bogosian are shown in a scene from the Manhattan Theatre Club production of Donald Marguliesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time Stands Still,â&#x20AC;? playing at Broadwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre in New York. for the first time, Mandy brings two balloons. One balloon says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome Homeâ&#x20AC;? and the other, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get Well.â&#x20AC;? Mandy earnestly, absurdly confesses she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decide which balloon was more appropriate to the situation so she brought both. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really very young and fresh and from a different world,â&#x20AC;? Silverstone explains.

While Sarah, her boyfriend and editor read The Economist and The

New York Times, Mandy is more of a follower of Us Weekly and Oprah Winfrey than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in the world on a global scale.

Yet, Mandyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective is broader than appears. When she sees photos Sarah took of a dying boy, she cries, asking why Sarah didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything to help. Sarah believes it was her duty to take pictures; Mandy thinks Sarah should have done something in an ef-

fort to keep the child alive.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that type of engagement that makes Silverstone thrilled to be in the production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go to the bathroom in rehearsals because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss anything. I was so excited. It was so stimulating. Just the energy in the room,â&#x20AC;? says Silverstone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got these people who are passionate and inspired and artistic and thoughtful and intelligent and ... thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pulse in the room.â&#x20AC;?

Director Daniel Sullivan says Silverstone has a zest for life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alicia is a breathe of fresh air,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think she brings that onto the stage. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge enthusiast for life. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something she carries with her. ...Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a moment in the play when her character asks the others to feel the joy in the world. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very personal statement for Aliciaâ&#x20AC;?

This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Silverstoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first time on Broadway.

She co-starred in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Graduateâ&#x20AC;? with Jason Biggs and Kathleen Turner in 2002.

Silverstoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career began to take off in the late 1990s as a recurring star of Aerosmith music videos and then in the film â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clueless.â&#x20AC;? She soon was considered one of a Hollywood â&#x20AC;&#x153;It Girl.â&#x20AC;?

Connick performs for students at White House WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Harry Connick Jr. told students Sunday that music can get people through the darkest times â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even a disaster like Hurricane Katrina, which devastated his hometown, New Orleans, in 2005.

The Grammy-winning composer and singer was welcomed to the White House by first lady Michelle Obama, who invited him to perform for members of a Washington elementary school glee club.

Connick invited one of the children to join him and his band onstage and help sing â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the Saints Go Marching In.â&#x20AC;?

Mrs. Obama told the children that just as singing in their club makes them happy, music can help lift the spirits of a city like New Orleans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just playing music and earning money and performing, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also community leaders, too,â&#x20AC;? Mrs. Obama said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if you can sing and dance, the question is: What do you give back?â&#x20AC;?

Supermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut comic book issue sells for $1M NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A rare copy of the first comic book featuring Superman sold Monday for $1 million, smashing the previous record price for a comic book.

A 1938 edition of Action Comics No. 1, widely considered the Holy Grail of comic books, was sold from a private seller to a private buyer, neither of whom released their names. The issue features Superman lifting a car on its cover and originally cost 10 cents.

The transaction was conducted by the auction site ComicConnect.com.

Stephen Fishler, co-owner of the site and its sister dealership, Metropolis Collectibles, orchestrated the sale.

Fishler said it transpired minutes after the issue was put on sale at around 10:30 a.m. Eastern time. He said that the seller was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;well known individualâ&#x20AC;? in New York with a pedigree collection, and that the buyer was a known customer who previously bought an Action Comics No. 1 of lesser grade. ** Planet 51: PG (10:20), 12:20, 5:25 ** Planet 51: PG (10:20), 12:20, 5:25

US sees â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;steady progressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in fight

Top US general: US has Plan B for slower Iraq exit

AP National Security Writer

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top defense leaders said Monday that U.S.-led forces were making steady progress in their efforts in a Taliban stronghold in southern Afghanistan but faced stiffer resistance than expected and the operation would take longer than hoped.

Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at the Pentagon the efforts against the Taliban were â&#x20AC;&#x153;messyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;incredibly wasteful,â&#x20AC;? as was war in general. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not worth the cost.â&#x20AC;?

Mullen said the battle and the broader war can be won with the proper resources and strategy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all been seeing, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making steady, if perhaps a bit slower than anticipated, progress,â&#x20AC;?

Mullen said.

Mullen also expressed regret for a NATO airstrike that killed at least 27 Afghan civilians. It was the third coalition strike this month to kill noncombatants and drew a sharp rebuke from Afghanistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government about endangering civilians.

At the same brief-

Stanley McChrystal, saying McChrystal keenly understands the need to do the utmost to avoid civilian casualties and has made that a top priority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have confidence in his judgment,â&#x20AC;? Gates said.

For 10 days, U.S. and Afghan troops have been fighting holdout Taliban forces in an effort to secure the southern town of Marjah in Helmand province.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The situation remains serious but is no longer deteriorating,â&#x20AC;? Gates said.

On a related subject, Gates said recent arrests of high-level Taliban fighters

by Pakistan marks â&#x20AC;&#x153;real progressâ&#x20AC;? by the Islamabad government and â&#x20AC;&#x153;another positive indicationâ&#x20AC;? of its commitment to stabilizing its border with Afghanistan.

Earlier this month, Pakistani authorities arrested the No. 2 Afghan Taliban leader, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi.

Also arrested are a pair of Taliban â&#x20AC;&#x153;shadow governorsâ&#x20AC;? from two Afghan provinces and several other militant suspects linked to al-Qaida and the Taliban.

Gates told reporters that â&#x20AC;&#x153;what we are seeing is the importance of operations on both sides of the border.â&#x20AC;?

When asked whether the arrests might help turn the tide in the eight-yearwar, Mullen cautioned against putting too much stock in any single event.

He said â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just too early.â&#x20AC;?

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The top U.S. general in Iraq said Monday he could slow the exit of U.S. combat forces this year if Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s politics are chaotic following elections this spring.

Gen. Ray Odierno said there are no signs that will be necessary, but he says he has a Plan B and told his superiors about it during Washington meetings over the past week.

The U.S. has about 96,000 troops in Iraq nearly seven years after the Americanled invasion that overthrew dictator Saddam Hussein.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the lowest number of American forces in the country since the invasion.

Under an agreement negotiated under former President George W. Bush, all combat troops are to leave the country by Aug. 31 although some 50,000 will remain behind to help train Iraqi security forces.

Iran to build uranium enrichment facilities inside mountains TEHRAN, Iran (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iran said Monday it plans to build two new uranium enrichment facilities deep inside mountains to protect them from attack, a new challenge to Western powers trying to curb Tehranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear program for fear it is aimed at making

weapons.

Ali Akbar Salehi, who is also Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice president, said Tehran intends to use its more advanced centrifuges at the new sites, a decision that could add to growing concerns in the West over Tehranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program because the technology would allow Iran to accelerate the pace of its program.

The two plants are among 10 industrial scale uranium enrichment facilities Iran approved the construction of in November, a dramatic expansion of the program in defiance of U.N. demands it halt enrichment.

Vatican official dismisses calls for resignation VATICAN CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Vaticanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top bioethics official on Monday dismissed calls for his resignation following an uproar over his defense of doctors who aborted the twin fetuses of a 9-year-old child who was raped by her stepfather.

Monsignor Renato Fisichella told The Associated Press he refused to respond to five members of the Vaticanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pontifical Academy for Life who questioned his suitability to lead the institution.

Fisichella wrote an article in the Vaticanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newspaper in March saying the Brazilian doctors didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve excommunication as mandated by church law because they were saving the girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life.

HANK AARON APPLAUDS MCGWIRE’S APOLOGY KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Former career home run king Hank Aaron says Mark McGwire should have a clear conscience after his recent admission he used performance-enhancing drugs as a player.

Aaron said other players still harboring similar secrets also should come clean.

“I think baseball is cleaning up its act a little bit, I really do,” Aaron said Monday during a visit to Atlanta Braves camp.

“I’ve said this and I’ll say it again, over and over again, this is the most forgiving country in the world. If you come through and tell the truth, then you’re going to be forgiven.

“The kid with the Yankees, (Andy) Pettitte, came out and it was a week of news and after that it was over. We all make mistakes. If they ever did enhancing drugs, whatever they did, they should come clean and be able to sleep at night.”

Aaron said McGwire’s admission and apology this year was overdue but still welcome.

nfl L.T. RELEASED BY CHARGERS IN SALARY CAP MOVE SAN DIEGO (AP) — LaDainian Tomlinson was released Monday by the San Diego Chargers, ending a brilliant nine-year run in which he became one of the NFL’s greatest running backs.

The move had been expected for some time. Tomlinson, who turned 30 last summer, was injured early in the 2009 season and finished with 730 yards on 223 carries for an average of 3.3 yards per carry, all career lows.

Tomlinson was due a $2 million bonus in early March, which all but guaranteed he would be cut loose as his role diminished on a team that thrived with a pass-happy offense.

L.T. wasn’t immediately available for comment. He said after the Chargers’ playoff loss to the New York Jets that he felt he could still play for a few more seasons.

Ramirez is with the Dodgers at spring training in Arizona.

Los Angeles general manager Ned Colletti said Monday he’s not looking into the future with Ramirez.

The Dodgers have reached the playoffs in both seasons Ramirez has been with them.

Ramirez is 37 and coming off a year in which he served a 50game drug suspension.

SANFORD — With his team trailing by nine in the third quarter, Southern Lee head coach Gaston Collins switched from a zone defense to a man-to-man.

It was a call that might have saved the Cavaliers season as they held off the Orange Panthers 48-44 in the opening round of the 3-A State Playoffs on Monday night in Sanford.

The Cavaliers (16-8), who trailed 31-22 before Collins called a timeout and made the switch, outscored the Panthers 26-13 the rest of the way to rally back.

“We just weren’t playing with enough inten-

sity,” said Collins. “When we switched to the man, I figured it could help us force some turnovers and get back into the game.”

The Cavaliers were led by sophomore Ace Chalmers 12 points and four rebounds. Josh Mellette had a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds.

CHAPEL HILL — There is a possibility that freshman David Wear could be lost for the rest of the season with a hip injury, North Carolina coach Roy Williams said during his weekly radio show Monday night.

Williams said Wear, who played just eight minutes in Saturday’s loss at Boston College, has a possible labrum Wear tear in his hip, but the Tar Heels will not know for certain until sometime today.

During a teleconference earlier Monday, Williams said he did not think the forward would play against Florida State on Wednesday (7 p.m., ESPN).

“We don’t feel real good about it, but I thought I’d try a different routine,” Williams said during his radio show. “I thought I’d say something about it up front, and then if it was not [season ending] that then I’d say, ‘Golly I’m glad we were wrong.’ ...

[With] everything else, we’ve always had these fears and we don’t say anything about it and it comes out that it is [a serious injury].”

Wear was held out of Friday’s practice after his hip bothered him during stretches. After being limited in Saturday’s game, he went through some tests Monday.

“I don’t know that there was one specific incident that did it,” Williams said. “He’s been having some clicking feeling, sound, in his hip, and it’s been bothering him a little while.”

If Wear does not play against FSU, he will be the eighth UNC player to miss a game because of an injury this season.

In fact, the Tar Heels just got back 7-foot sophomore Tyler Zeller on

3 Yellow Jackets earn postseason honors

By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com SANFORD — Although the season didn’t quite end the way the Lee County boys basketball team had hoped, three Yellow Jackets still managed to earn postseason honors.

Israel Williams, a junior, was named to the All Tri-9 Conference 2nd Team. His twin brother Isiah and sophomore guard Russell Tatum received honorable mentions for All-Conference this season.

“All three are very deserving of these accomplishments,” said Yellow Jacket head coach Reggie Peace. “They played a pivotal role in what we wanted to accomplish

and helped us a lot down the final stretch of the season.”

At one point this season, the Yellow Jackets were at an 0-10 hole in the conference before winning their final six league games to clinch sixth place in the recent Tri9 Conference Tournament.

The Yellow Jackets, who needed to win the conference tournament in order to qualify for the postseason, lost 61-58 to No. 3 seed Panther Creek in the opening round of the tournament.

Israel Williams averaged 12 points per game during the final 10 games of the season, leading the Yellow Jackets’ magical turn-

SPORTS SCENE

Fontana showed that it was a different chapter of the same old NASCAR story W

ell, it sure didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for racing to get back to the same old story lines. Last week, it was pot holes, Jamie McMurray and attendance. This week Jimmie Johnson wins, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has problems and attendance is still an issue. The more things change, the more they stay the same. I had really hoped 2010 would be different, but I guess not. To me, the pothole troubles at Daytona are long forgotten but after that happened some media outlets have said that people left the race before it was over and television viewers turned away. They missed a great finish, but I understood because of the delays.

I think the television audience turned away because of having to listen to Darrell, Mike and Larry. I know I quit and watched other stuff, but the race Sunday had no excuses. I just want to know where the fans were? Was it my imagination or were there a lot of empty seats in Fontana? It seemed that every time the cameras would show the angle from inside the first turn as the cars would come down the front stretch, the seats would appear to be emptier than before. I thought

Lynn Gaines In The Draft

that building that track in California was supposed to build up NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation in the west and bring in more money. All it did was give NASCAR a chance to showcase itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sport and bring in some star power and attempt to increase the fan base. But something is wrong. Again, this proves that it is all about money. Yes, Fontana is a great track and the racing was exciting at times, but it mainly shows me that they need to bring racing back to itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots. Personally, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather see sellouts in places like Rockingham or Darlington than watch cookie cutter tracks have empty seats. I thought that they moved races from tracks like Rockingham because they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell enough tickets?

Well, wake up NASCAR. They were empty Sunday, too.

Jamie McMurray was on

a whirlwind tour of America this past week but it was short lived as he came back to Earth Sunday. All it took was Jimmie Johnson. He was back to his usual self.

Get up front, lead some laps, fall back and then when he needed to be in the right spot to take another win, there he was. Oh yeah, did I mention that he got lucky, again? Yeah, he did. I believe Kevin Harvick had the best car but when the horseshoe was found it was with JJ. I guess he is that good. Four championships in a row and I still doubt his ability. Why do I do that? As I said in my first column this year, until somebody else wins, he is the best.  Poor, Junior. I had really hoped that his performance last week at Daytona was a glimpse into his future but just like Jamie, it was short lived. He was never a threat on Sunday and floundered in the middle of the pack until his axle broke. Now, I did get tired of the announcers making excuses. All they wanted to do was blame his axle breaking on the concrete. Maybe it was a factor, but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget human error. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear of anyone else having that trouble and I have never heard of it at Dover where everything is

concrete. Basically, Junior gave his car too much gas before they dropped the jack and when the wheels did hit the concrete, BOOM! The torque was too much for the rear end and his day was over. More excuses for Junior and I guess it could be 2009 all over again. How much of this can Rick Hendrick take? Â Let me close with this.

How would you like to help me write some of my columns this year? Here is how you can contribute. My son and I have started a Facebook page devoted to the column. It is titled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In The Draftâ&#x20AC;?, what else? If you are into social media, then go to that page on Facebook and write about the race or write your thoughts about the race. Or, if you are a true fan of the column, then just become a friend. All thoughts and opinions will be edited and no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name will be disclosed, especially if it is something funny. I want that credit. Â Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on to Las Vegas.

Watch out for the Chevrolets again. I know Ford has a new engine but it appears that the Hendrick and Childress teams are already on the top of their games. If that is the case, then it is going to be a long season. We will see you next week.

OLYMPIC BRIEFS Canadian men improve to 8-0, beat US 7-2 VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kevin Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadians faced an early deficit against the U.S., then fought right back to keep their Olympic unbeaten streak alive.

The favored Canada foursome (8-0) eliminated the Americans from contention with a shortened 7-2 victory in nine ends Monday.

John Shusterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. team still has one more game Monday night against China in its final day of Olympic competition.

Martin already had secured the No. 1 seed into Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinals, but his team wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nearly as sharp in this one. The Canadians had a bye for Monday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s session before finishing the round-robin schedule Tuesday against China.

After four-man bobsleds from Croatia and Latvia crashed during supplemental training on Monday, International Federation of Bobsleigh and Tobogganing officials postponed the remainder of the practice session. They met with representatives from 11 sliding nations for more than 40 minutes near the 13th turn, the trackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toughest section, around the spot where Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lyndon Rush crashed in the two-man event.

Russian leader expecting more Olympic medals VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deputy Prime Minister Anton Zhukov is looking forward to a big finish from his countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletes to salvage whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a disappointing Winter Olympics.

Speaking at a news conference Monday about the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Zhukov acknowledges that â&#x20AC;&#x153;our athletes have not enjoyed as much success as we wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hoped.â&#x20AC;? But he says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still time to catch up.

One promising thing for the Yellow Jackets is that all three of these players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with big men Dequan Swann and Ricky Westâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;will be returning next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have a lot of things we need to work on,â&#x20AC;? said Peace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I was real pleased with how we finished as a team. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not where want to be yet, but with all of these guys returning, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a lot closer.â&#x20AC;?

After leading his team to a 22-5 overall record and the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular season and tournament championship, Apex head coach David Neal won Tri-9 Conference Coach of the Year.

Connor Belicic of Apex earned Tri-9 Conference Player of the Year. He averaged 13 points per game this season for the Cougars.

He scored 19 in a 58-52 win over Middle Creek in the tournament championship.

Ice victory over the Soviet Union in Lake Placid, twogoal scorer turned coach Mark Johnson watched his loaded womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team prevent a repeat of the Swedesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minor miracle in Turin.

Swedenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win in Turin was the first loss by a North American team in a major womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey tournament. Martin was the star, but she missed much of last year at Minnesota Duluth with a knee injury, only recently returning to competition.

Except for the symmetry of another semifinal meeting, there was little reason to expect a repeat: The U.S. team hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost to Sweden in five international meetings since Turin, outscoring the Swedes 30-2 before beating them three more times in exhibitions leading up to Vancouver.

final later Monday against powerhouse Canada, likely setting up the long-anticipated meeting of the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two best teams.

No Swedish surprises this time. The U.S. womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey team wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow any goalie to keep them from playing for gold.

Vetter soundly outplayed Martin, who let in a few stoppable goals and made at least one accidental save off her mask. The Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; superior offense took care of the rest, jumping to a 4-0 lead early in the second period on consecutive goals by Angela Ruggiero and Cahow before icing it with three goals on their first six shots in the third period.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Monique Lamoureux scored three goals, Jessie Vetter made 11 saves and the U.S. womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey team rolled into the Olympic gold-medal match with a 9-1 semifinal victory over Sweden on Monday.

Caitlin Cahow, Karen Thatcher and Kelli Stack each had a goal and an assist as the Americans avenged their 2006 Olympic shootout loss to Sweden. The rematch was a comprehensive thrashing of the Swedes and goalie Kim Martin, who came nowhere close to her 37-save performance in Turin.

After outscoring their first four opponents by a combined 40-2, the Americans will face the winner of Finlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semi-

WHISTLER, British Columbia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bode Miller hates the Olympics.

He rails about what he considers a misguided emphasis on medals and the rampant comMiller mercialism, along with â&#x20AC;&#x153;the corruption and the abuse and the money.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why he tuned out at the 2006 Turin Games â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because â&#x20AC;&#x153;being the poster boy for that, when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the absolute thing I despised the most in the world, was really draining on my inspiration, my level of passion.â&#x20AC;?

And, true to his contrarian streak, Bode Miller also loves the Olympics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has all the best things in sports,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has amazing energy and enthusiasm, passion, inspiration.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what changes lives.

In that sense, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the pinnacle of what sports and camaraderie and all that stuff is.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why he is thriving at the 2010 Vancouver Games: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You really get the chills. You feel the crowd. You feel all the energy. You feel the expectation. You feel everything.â&#x20AC;?

we just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into any sort of a rhythm out there. I give Orange a ton of credit.â&#x20AC;?

The game was tied at 41 with 1:33 remaining.

Mellette rebounded a miss by Orangeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nathan Jackola. Mellette dribbled the length of the floor and found Gill under the basket, who hit a layup to put the Cavaliers up 43-41 with just 47 ticks remaining.

Nine seconds later, Gill hit two big free throws to put the Cavaliers up 45-41. Thomas made it a six point, 47-41, lead after sinking two foul shots with 22 seconds left.

Tremel Brown hit a layup with 16 seconds left to make the deficit just four for the Panthers but they

could get no closer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During that final minute, I told our guys to just play hard and play smart,â&#x20AC;? said Collins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Orange wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to make it easy for us. We had to defend well and hit our free throws.â&#x20AC;?

made a point to emphasis the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;chance.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last week, we got [Zeller] in for one day of contact things the day before we played, and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play him at Georgia Tech,â&#x20AC;?

Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still up in the air as to whether weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d do it with Travis.â&#x20AC;?

DEAR ABBY

Fiancee’s shabby treatment arouses many readers’ ire

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Emotional issues will capture your attention and you may miss out on some good opportunities because you are wrapped up in personal matters.

Put your time and effort into getting ahead professionally and stop spinning your wheels trying to fight the inevitable. Change is necessary whether you want it or not, so get on with what needs to be done. Your numbers are 2, 8, 15, 23, 26, 33, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Someone who wants to make you look bad will use the information you divulge against you.

Problems with authority, institutions or neighbors can stand in your way.

Address any issues that arise swiftly without revealing too much.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may want to accommodate someone but, in the end, it will not help your emotional state of mind or your position.

If something doesn’t feel right to you, do not take part. Travel for business if it will help seal a deal.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You cannot change what has happened but you can put it behind you and start again. Too much of anything will turn into a bad thing. Don’t disrupt what you’ve worked so hard to achieve.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Participation will be the key to getting ahead.

Travel for business will be the deciding factor. A face-to-face meeting will ensure you are in the running for something you really want to take part in.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you pretend to know more than you do, it will lead to mistakes and a change of plans. Know who and what you are up against before you decide to challenge someone.

Confidence, know-how and experience will win in the end.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): Follow through with your plans or you will

be criticized. Avoid taking anyone for granted by doing the work by yourself. Once you have proved that you are quite capable of going it alone, you will attract worthy partners who can contribute as much as you have.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stick to the rules and regulations or you will face problems with superiors, institutions or agencies. Put your creative mind to work for you. Added responsibilities must not be allowed to hold you back.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There is money to be made, deals to be signed and settlements to go after. Buying or selling property or investments will be to your benefit. An unusual collaboration will bring about a new interest that can turn into greater cash flow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Expect to face opposition from friends, neighbors and relatives if you are not honest about your concerns and whereabouts. Inconsistency will be your downfall and will lead to changes in your personal life that you don’t foresee.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t take anything for granted. What you expect to unfold will not, so stay alert and prepare for an unusual turn of events. If you are ready to be a participant, you can take advantage of a rare opportunity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Your innovative, inventive outlook will take others by surprise and will drum up interest in your plans. Put your time, effort and cash into building a solid foundation for the future, replacing old habits that make your life repetitive and boring.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What you think you are getting and what is actually being offered are not the same. Emotional problems will leave you unsure of what to do next. Don’t make any moves that will disrupt your personal life.

WORD JUMBLE

DEAR ABBY: I agree with the response you gave to “Low Priority in Pennsylvania” (Dec. 11) that she reconsider her relationship with her fiance, but not for the reason you may think. Unless they are kids just out of college, three years is a long time to be engaged. Add to this the fact that the man seems to be making no moves to blend his old family with his new one, and it suggests to me that he isn’t really serious about making his relationship with “Low Priority” permanent.

After three years, a man who is planning to remarry should be gently encouraging his biological children to accept the new relationship. Obviously, when his kids are visiting he is going to spend a lot of time with them on their own, but he shouldn’t be reluctant to show her affection and respect in their presence. He also should not be ignoring her or her child, and there should be time scheduled for all of them to do things together.

That Sunday breakfast would be a perfect opportunity. A man who is serious would wake up the whole house and they’d go to breakfast together. Then afterward, maybe she would go home and he would take all the kids — her son included — to do something fun. Or maybe she should be the one who takes the kids for an afternoon, to give his kids a chance to get used to this new woman and negotiate a relationship with her on their own terms.

Abigail Van Buren Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

The fact that he has done none of this should be a huge red flag to “Low Priority.” She needs to decide if being engaged for life is good enough, or if she’d rather cut bait and look for a man who loves and respects her enough to fully incorporate her into his life.

— JAYMI IN ATLANTA DEAR JAYMI: Thank you for writing. Many readers disagreed with my comments and told me emphatically that not only did they regard the man as an uncaring partner, but also as an ineffective parent. Read on: DEAR ABBY: That man is not being a good parent when he has his kids. A real parent sets bedtimes and teaches the kids to consider all the members of the family. He is shortchanging his kids because of his behavior!

— ELIZABETH IN SAN DIEGO

DEAR ABBY: Through 23 years of marriage I tolerated isolating behavior from my husband when his two sons were visiting, first as teens and later as young adults.

Nothing worked -- talking to him, ignoring the behavior, taking my own trips on visit weekends, marriage counseling. I had no say in matters pertaining to the two stepsons, even though they affected my marriage and our home life.

My marriage ended when I finally decided if I was going to feel alone, I might as well enjoy the benefits. My former husband is now alone and none too happy about it. And his now grown sons are no more concerned with his feelings than he was with mine.

Children learn by example.

— FORMER STEPMOTHER DEAR ABBY: In a family, blended or otherwise, the adults are the heads of the family. It’s the so-called “executive system.” Their relationship must be kind, harmonious and respectful because it sets the tone for the entire family dynamic.

The fiance may love his children, but he’s actually causing them more harm by allowing them to rule the roost and see him essentially mistreat the woman and child with whom he has lived for three years. The part of your advice I agree with is that the woman should not marry him.

Guinness: Arizona Great Dane is tallest dog ever

Police: Dancing teen’s belt buckle gouges floor

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — A 250-pound blue Great Dane from Arizona gives new meaning to the term “big dog.”

Guinness World Records says Giant George from Tucson is the tallest dog ever on record.

Guinness said Monday that he stands 3 feet, 7 inches tall from paw to shoulder, which is three-quarters of an inch taller than his closest rival — Titan, a white Great Dane from San Diego.

The 4-year-old Titan took the title of world’s tallest dog in 2009 after Gibson, a Great Dane from Grass Valley, Calif., died of bone cancer.

Guinness officials say there were conflicting reports about Giant George’s height, so they sent a judge to verify it.

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (AP) — Police said they’ve arrested a teenager who caused thousands of dollars in damage to a western New York home’s hardwood floor by break dancing on it while wearing a large diamond belt buckle.

Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard said the 18-year-old apparently was intoxicated when he arrived at a house party held by the victim’s daughters in Elma, a small town just east of Buffalo. He said when the teen repeatedly tried to break dance he gouged the floor and caused about $3,000 worth of damage.

Police said the victim was on vacation at the time.

A sheriff’s deputy arrested the teen Sunday night at his home in neighboring Cheektowaga, a Buffalo suburb.

S.C. archaeologists say early octagonal house found BLUFFTON, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina archaeologists believe they might have unearthed the first octagonal house in the United States.

The ruins were found last fall on the banks of the May River in the southern coastal town of Bluffton. A letter written in 1796 by a visitor mentions the octagonal house and helps date the structure.

Archaeologists Heather Cline and Mary Socci say the 900-square-foot house was owned by Scottish immigrant William McKimmy and was built about 1790.

That would mean the home predates Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest. That home was built in the 1820s near Lynchburg, Va., and is considered to be the first octagonal house in the U.S.

Police: Woman shoots at hubby over tax return cash PINE LAWN, Mo. (AP) — A suburban St. Louis woman has been arrested after police said she shot at her husband when he refused to give her some of their tax return money.

Pine Lawn police said the unidentified woman was being held on a $75,000 cash-only bond on suspicion of first-degree assault and armed criminal action. It was not immediately known whether she had an attorney.

Police said she followed her husband to work Saturday morning at a barber shop and fired when he refused to turn over any money. The bullets missed the husband.

Investigators said the woman then went to St. Louis and threw the gun in a sewer.

Anyone can come back to faith Q: Is it possible to be so far from God that it becomes impossible for Him to reach you? I worry about this with my brother, because he’s never had any use for God and I don’t think he’ll ever change.

-- S.T. A: The Bible does warn us about the danger of getting so far from God that we’ll no longer be able to hear His voice. It says, “A man who remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed -- without remedy” (Proverbs 29:1).

These are solemn words, and we must take them very seriously.

But does this mean God can’t break through those barriers and bring someone who has ignored Him to Himself? No, not at all. I often think, for example, of King Manasseh in the Bible.

(You can read about him in chapter 33 of the Old Testament book of 2 Chronicles.)

King Manasseh has been called “the wickedest man who ever lived” -- and with good reason, because he not only hated God but embraced every type of evil, including witchcraft and sacrificing his sons to the pagan gods. He even banned the worship of God and placed a pagan idol in God’s temple.

But one day King Manasseh was taken captive and placed in a foreign prison -- and there he turned to God. In spite of his countless sins, God forgave him -and in time he was restored to his throne and spent the rest of his days trying to reverse the damage he’d done. The same can happen to anyone who truly repents and receives Christ.
