LEGACIES HONORED AT ENRICHMENT CENTER More than 100 people gathered at the Enrichment Center of Lee County Friday to celebrate the legacies of locals with singing, prayer and recognition
SANFORD — Though three new candidates entered the fray before the noon deadline to file for the 2010 election cycle Friday, more notable is the names that won’t be on the ballot this year.
Lee County District 4 Commissioner Jamie Kelly and Lee County Board of Education member Frank Thompson Sr. both chose not to seek re-election to their respective seats in 2010. Also absent from the list of candidates is challengers for Commissioner Robert Reives
and Lee County Sheriff Tracy Carter. The three candidates who did beat the deadline to file included two gunning for Kelly’s seat and a Republican challenger for District 2 Commissioner Amy Dalrymple, a

BON JOVI USING TOUR AS A RESEARCH MISSION The tour in support of Bon Jovi’s latest release, “The Circle,” is also a fact-finding mission.

Almanac Today is Saturday, Feb. 27, the 58th day of 2010. There are 307 days left in the year. This day in history: On Feb. 27, 1960, the U.S. Olympic hockey team defeated the Soviets, 3-2, at the Winter Games in Squaw Valley, Calif. (The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal.) In 1861, in Warsaw, Russian troops fired on a crowd protesting Russian rule over Poland; five marchers were killed. In 1922, the Supreme Court, in Leser v. Garnett, unanimously upheld the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which guaranteed the right of women to vote. In 1939, the Supreme Court, in National Labor Relations Board v. Fansteel Metallurgical Corp., outlawed sit-down strikes. In 1951, the 22nd Amendment, limiting a president to two terms of office, was ratified. In 1973, members of the American Indian Movement occupied the hamlet of Wounded Knee in South Dakota, the site of the 1890 massacre of Sioux men, women and children. (The occupation lasted until May.) In 1979, Jane M. Byrne confounded Chicago’s Democratic political machine as she upset Mayor Michael A. Bilandic to win their party’s mayoral primary. (Byrne went on to win the election.) In 1991, President George H.W. Bush declared that “Kuwait is liberated, Iraq’s army is defeated,” and announced that the allies would suspend combat operations at midnight, Eastern time.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Legacies honored at Enrichment Center celebration By CAITLIN MULLEN COMING SUNDAY
cmullen@sanfordherald.com
SANFORD — As part of Black History Month, a room full of people celebrated legacies in Lee County Friday at the Enrichment Center. More than 100 people gathered at the Enrichment Center for the celebration, which featured singing, prayer and recognizing special people. “It means a lot to me,� Wilma Brown of Sanford said of recognizing the history of black Americans. “We’ve come a long way. It means so much. God has been with us.� Claudia Lee hosted the celebration, honoring those who have died by lighting a memorial candle. She also recognized certain members of the community, like Leonard and Rosemary Jones, who have been married for 58 years. Lee said the event is a success because it remem-

in short-term and degree programs to accommodate enrollment increases. In addition, we work closely with business, economic development, and community partners to provide programs and services that are relevant to the needs of our community. In July 2009, the college became the administrative entity for Workforce Investment Act programs, which serve dislocated workers and others. We view this new role as an opportunity to work directly with service providers that deliver WIA programs in order to deliver seamless services to individuals who are unemployed and seeking to train or to reenter the workforce.
Q
: What prompted the creation of the Division of Economic and Community Development and what do those changes mean?
A
: The Division of Economic and Community Development brings together the areas of the college focused on responding to emergent community and workforce needs. Every area of the college is involved to some extent in workforce development, but the departments within ECD are sharply focused on rapid delivery of programs and services that are of immediate need to business, industry, community organizations and workers. In the past, areas of the college that provided these services were disenfranchised. The new division brings together Adult and Continuing Education, the Civic Center, the Emergency Services Training Center, Industry Services, the Small Business Centers, Workforce Development and

Enrollment Management. Adult Education programs provide courses toward the Adult High School Diploma or GED, literacy, numeracy and compensatory education. Continuing Education provides an array of professional development, occupational and enrichment programs. The Emergency Services Center provides continuing education and facilities specifically geared to emergency medical services, fire, law enforcement and preparedness. Industry Services offers customized training, incumbent worker grant programs, and other support services to local industries. The Small Business Centers provide counseling and seminars to current or prospective entrepreneurs and small business owners and Workforce Development administers the Workforce Investment Act for Chatham, Harnett, Lee and Sampson counties. The Enrollment Management department is an effort to support career pathways
for our students and recruitment and retention in all divisions of the college.
A
Q
: What trends or changes is the college experiencing as a result of the economy?
A
: Growth in enrollment is the short answer, and we are poised and proud to be able to serve our community in this way at such a challenging time. Yet, we are also faced with providing increased services with limited resources. Though enrollment is growing, the state budget is constrained. Two specific trends we are noticing are more individuals seeking short term training as a way to gain skills quickly for employment and the need for student financial assistance has increased greatly.
Q
: Are there programs at the college specifically targeted to dislocated workers or the unemployed?
: Because community colleges have such a rich vocational education tradition, most programs offered by the college appeal to the needs of dislocated and unemployed workers. Specifically, the college provides occupational skills training that are short-term certifications that match the job projections and industry needs of our local area. Human Resources Development is an area of training in employability that is no charge to dislocated or unemployed workers. Currently, the Governor’s JobsNow program which focuses on job creation and economic development includes collaboration between the N.C. Community College System and the N.C. Department of Commerce to help community colleges build capacity in short term training programs.

We’ve seen so many changes for the better.

and some of us, maybe it’s new to you. But today let us pull out all the stops and celebrate black history,� she said. “We will find that we are more alike than we are different.� McIver mentioned some of the historic areas of the city and the importance of the black involvement in those locations. “There is a history, a black history, that some of the young ... know nothing about. But you travel that way every day,� she said. McIver stressed that people of all colors should embrace black history as America’s history. “The black history theme that came to my heart was, we are one. One heart, one color, one history. The history we are celebrating and talking about today is our history. ... We are the ones that we have been waiting for. (President Barack) Obama said that. Let’s own up to this black history.� opment programs provide training in computer skills, career exploration, job search, interviewing, and resume composition. HRD is offered at no cost to adults who are unemployed, have received notice of layoff, or who are working and are eligible for the Earned Income Credit or earning wages up to twice the federal poverty guidelines. The college also operates a Career Center that provides no-cost career interest inventories and related services. Visit www.cccc.edu or call (919) 775-5401.

Lighten up on movies that contain smoking Our View Issue: The Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education is calling for movies that include smoking to be slapped with an R-rating
Our stance: While it is good that less smoking is seen in movies these days, giving films that do have smoking an Rrating is a little harsh
Hollywood’s relationship with cigarettes lasted eons longer than most Tinsel Town romances. The smoke-filled rooms set the mood in “Casablanca,” and “Citizen Kane” — considered by many to be the greatest film ever — had either a cigarette, pipe or cigar in ever scene. Men were suave with a cigarette in their hand. Women sexy. They’re the perfect prop ... giving actors and actresses something to do with their hands as they spoke. In the “golden era,” it was also the perfect way to meet a dame (need a light?) We forget that stars like John Wayne (even Walt Disney) eventually died of lung cancer. And
We agree there needs to be a concerted effort in Hollywood to uncool smoking, but we don’t necessarily think it warrants an R-rating. today, as cigarettes become less and less “cool” and more of a weakness in society’s eyes, there’s a fight to snuff out smoking in Hollywood, the place that made it cool to begin with. The Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education is calling for most movies that include smoking to be slapped with an R rating — a rating usually saved for violence, sex and vulgarity. According to Dr. Stan-
ton Glantz, the center’s director, movies are the biggest reason teens smoke. Using the R rating — a box office crippler in many cases — may force some directors to keep the smoke away if it’s not totally necessary. He may have a point. Go back and watch the 1978 “Superman,” a movie made for kids, yet a movie that include a Marlboro chain-smoking Lois Lane and a few obvious Marlboro product
placement moments. How far have we come? The 2006 “Superman Returns” included a smoking Lois, too ... though with a scene where Superman tells her it’s bad for her. There’s anger over the megablockbuster “Avatar,” too ... which also contains characters who light up. We agree there needs to be a concerted effort in Hollywood to un-cool smoking, but we don’t necessarily think it warrants an R-rating. Hollywood is reflecting reality more and more, whereas back then, it was the other way around. As society continues to kick the habit, we feel the silver screen will, too.
Letters to the Editor Speak up, hunters ... you’ve been called out To the Editor:
Froma Harrop Columnist Froma Harrop is a columnist with The Providence Journal
Bayh watch
I
n an essay titled, “Why I’m Leaving the Senate,” Evan Bayh brilliantly explains what’s wrong with the Senate and how to fix it. If only the headline had read, “Why I’m Not Leaving the Senate” — or better, “Things I Will Do If Indiana Voters Give Me Another 6 Years.” Bayh is a heartland moderate with many attractive qualities and high poll numbers. After the Hoosier declared that he could not bear another term of senatorial dysfunction, pundits instantly speculated that Bayh might run for president. Hmmm. One recalls New Jersey Democrat Bill Bradley’s announcement in 1995 that he would not seek re-election because the Senate is “broken” but that he’d consider the presidency. A politician who lacks the intestines to do battle in the Senate might not seem an ideal choice for the presidential hot seat. (Bradley’s 2000 campaign for the Democratic nomination fell flat.) Only senators can make the Senate work as it should, and Bayh has excellent thoughts on that subject. On bringing “honest dialogue” back to the Senate, he suggests, “Why not have a monthly lunch of all 100 senators?” They could pick a topic, and “each side could make a brief presentation followed by questions and answers.” Capital idea! Why doesn’t Bayh hang around and start those lunches? On the “distorting influence of money,” Bayh suggests requiring corporate donors to put their names on the political ads they finance. He would also bar beneficiaries of government contracts or bailouts from spending money on political campaigns. Go for it, I say. On filibusters, Bayh writes that legislative hijackings by the minority have proliferated “because under current rules just one or two determined senators can stop the Senate from functioning.” He has great proposals for curbing the filibuster while affording the minority some say. For example, he would require that 35 senators commit “to continually debate an issue in reality, not just in theory.” ... Bayh ends his piece with a pledge to spend his final 11 months in the Senate trying to make these reforms a reality. That’s nice, but a lame duck advocating for changes that might take years to achieve is unlikely to produce much success. ... A two-term senator and son of a three-term senator, Birch Bayh, Evan Bayh has the experience and smarts to direct a needed repair of the legislative body. He repeated the saying from his father’s day — that “a senator legislates for four years and campaigns for two” — and notes that senators now campaign all the time. But suppose that Bayh, rather than quit the Senate, were to secure another six years in which he wouldn’t campaign at all. Suppose he were to use the opportunity to push, push, push for rules to restore the Senate’s ability to serve the people. This is no time for reformers to jump ship.
Who’s next president? W
ho is going to take Erskine Bowles’s place as President of the multicampus University of North Carolina (UNC)? The easy answer is “whomever the 32person Board of Governors of the university selects.” Somebody gave me a more cynical answer: “Whoever gets 16 plus one votes.” The Board will be looking for the new president who has two critical qualifications: 1. A good feel for North Carolina’s traditions and the state’s needs, and, 2. Successful experience at the highest level of university administration. It has been tough to find the right candidate who meets both these qualifications. Presidents Dick Spangler and Bowles met the first test, but not the second. President Molly Broad met the second test, but not the first. So, is there anybody out there today who can meet both tests? Here are a few possibilities: n Henderson native Elson S. Floyd, president of the four-campus Washington State University, is a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill, where he also held important administrative positions. He has been president of the fourcampus University of Missouri and president of Western Michigan University. n J. B. Milliken is president of the University of Nebraska. Previously, he was senior vice president at UNC, where he gained an intimate familiarity with the state’s political elite. n Harold L. Martin, currently North Carolina A&T’s chancellor, served as senior vice president for academic affairs at the UNC from 2006 until 2009. n Fayetteville native Holden Thorpe is still on a long honeymoon as chancellor at UNC-Chapel Hill. His youthfulness has been an asset in his current position and could be a real advantage if the UNC board wants someone who could serve, as did William Friday, for more than a few years. n Bernadette Gray-Little, a native of eastern North Carolina and long time faculty member and recent executive vice chancellor and provost at UNC-Chapel Hill, is the brand-new chancellor of the University of Kansas. n Davidson College President Tom Ross spent 16 years as a Superior Court judge based in Greensboro and served as the director of the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Court, where he worked closely with the legislature and oversaw the rewriting of the state’s sentencing guidelines. In 2001 he became executive director of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, where he worked with multiple constituencies on a host of North Carolina’s problems and opportunities. n Asheville native Leslie Winner succeeded Ross at Z. Smith Reynolds. Previously, she was UNC’s vice president and chief legal
D.G. Martin One on One D.G. Martin is host of UNC-TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch
officer. Earlier she served in the state senate where she oversaw appropriations for education. n William Roper, dean of the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Medicine, vice chancellor for Medical Affairs and CEO of the UNC Health Care System, is a nationally respected expert on health care issues, and a proven manager in the most complicated of university activities. n Debra Stewart, president of the Council of Graduate Schools since 2000, was vice chancellor and dean of the Graduate School at North Carolina State University, and she served as interim chancellor at UNCGreensboro. n Mary Sue Coleman, president of the University of Michigan since 2002, is one of Time Magazine’s top 10 university presidents. She was president of the University of Iowa and held top administrative posts at UNC-Chapel Hill, where she earned her doctorate in biochemistry. n Elizabeth Kiss, president of Agnes Scott College, was previously director of the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University. She graduated from Davidson and Oxford, where she was a Rhodes Scholar. Sometimes public university governing boards pick one of their own to lead the institution, usually in recognition of the importance of political judgment and clout. One obvious possibility would be Greensboro lawyer Jim Phillips, a former board chair and deemed by one magazine “the most plugged-in attorney in North Carolina.” D.G.

I was sickened when I opened The Herald on Sunday morning to see another non-believer. What so little faith in hers and his neighbor and our city and county leaders as well. We’ve always had hunting season in the city limits — bows, not guns. It’s just a longer season by the North Carolina Wildlife Commission to control the urban population growth of Deer numbers. There has been research for years — the number of deer complaints is growing. Trapping and poisoning are a no-go ... deer deserve better than that. Machine guns and cannons ... I hope for better research on that one. The hunters always get the bad rap, but hunters live and work in all walks of life. They choose hunting for a sport just like any other sport. Yes, archery is a sport these days, and it’s a highly effective one. God bless our pets — we love them and keep them inside, but many are letting their pets run loose, falling to all kinds of demise. Hunters and sportsmen provide for all kinds of wildlife as well with land and food and clean water. We make and maintain their habitats, and we have rights to choose to live and let live. I call on all sportsmen and sportswomen to please speak up ... you’ve been called out. DAVID EADES Sanford
Will Stone represent Lee County residents or his friends in Raleigh? To the Editor: Referencing The Herald’s Feb. 20 headline story, “Stone may seek Love’s state seat,” it was reported that City Councilman Mike Stone was down to just six days to decide whether or not he would make a run for Rep. Jimmy Love Sr.’s seat. As your article reported, Mr. Stone, “admitted he has been in talks with the State Republican Party and House Republican Caucus about the possibility ... what we are looking for are commitments from the State level.” Apparently folks outside of Lee County wield much influence over Mr. Stone as he is waiting to get their blessing before deciding to run. If Mr. Stone gets to run, would he represent them or us? CHIP POST Sanford

E-Mentors Continued from Page 1A
IBM has provided the laptops over the years and given grant money for the program, said Angel Mills, the K-8 ESL lead teacher. “They provide the technology but they also have someone to talk to once a week,� said Laura Biediger, program director for Communities in Schools of Lee County. “It’s improving their English skills but they also get to use the computer and get experience with technology.�
Mills said she began working with the program six years ago to have students work on their writing skills, but it also teaches them how to use e-mail and Microsoft Word in a hands-on, independent way. While thanking the mentors, the students spoke highly of them, some saying the adults are “like a sister� or a best friend. A few of the students have had the same mentors for three years, Biediger said. “Sometimes they feel like it’s easier to open up and be themselves

because it’s a little more comfortable being on a computer,� she said. Mentor and IBM software engineer Jeff Weiner said the program is just another resource to help students. “I think it give the kids in ESL a chance to work on their writing,� he said. And the 15-30 minutes the mentors put in each week is easy, said mentor Ovies Brabson. As a Hispanic person, Brabson wanted to help students who primarily speak Spanish. “It’s a good way for me to connect with other
Hispanic kids,� she said. Mentor and IBM employee David Whiteman and his mentee Noe Lopez, a 14-year-old eighth grader from Sanford, have developed a relationship in working together two years. Whiteman said they’ll have conversations about working hard and how it has paid off. “If he reads a book, he tells me about what he’s learning and I respond to that. It’s usually around some sort of assignment. He bounces ideas off me,� Whiteman said. “He’s a good friend and helps me,� Lopez added.

Official: Mill can’t meet EPA water goal
Tuesday. Attorneys for Hennis argue that the military does not have the power to charge him. Hennis was convicted in 1986 in the deaths of Kathryn Eastburn and two of her children. He was acquitted in a new trial ordered by an appeals court. The Army forced Hennis back into uniform in 2006 to face a court-martial after civilian investigators reported that DNA testing linked him to the crime.
Politicos running over as candidacy time ends
RALEIGH (AP) — The ballots are set for candidates seeking elected office in North Carolina. The three-week filing period for candidates seeking jobs from U.S. Senate down to the General Assembly and county commissioner ended at noon Friday at elections offices statewide. The Senate race will be at the top of the ballot and 11 people, including incumbent Richard Burr, filed paperwork to run. Both major parties will have a Senate primary May 4. Nearly 70 people signed up to run for the 13 seats in the U.S. House delegation. State elections director Gary Bartlett says it’s the largest number he can recall in at least 20 years. There are also 170 seats in the General Assembly and dozens of judgeships up for grabs this year.
Dell postpones closing computer plant again WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Dell Inc. is again postponing plans to close its North Carolina personal computer plant by three months thanks to an uptick in computer sales to businesses, governments and schools. The company told 400 workers Friday they could keep their jobs until the end of July, the close of the company’s second quarter. Dell announced last fall it would close the plant in January, then pushed the date back to April, and now to July. Spokesman David Frink said Dell cut its workforce from 900 last fall in anticipation of closing. The company quickly repaid local governments $26 million in incentives used to attract the plant that opened in 2005. Dell was offered more than $300 million in state and local incentives to choose a North Carolina site in 2004.

cates believe standards that allow the Pigeon River to remain tea-colored aren’t strict enough to protect water quality. Equipment to clarify the water could be installed at a reasonable cost, said Hope Taylor, executive director of Clean Water for North Carolina. She said the state is protecting the mill. Downstream communities in Tennessee also want stronger discharge limits. Pollution in the Pigeon River “has absolutely hindered us from reaching our full potential for being a viable and sustainable community,� said Cocke County Mayor Iliff McMahan Jr.

The EPA doesn’t believe the color limits in the state’s draft water permit give the company an incentive to improve, said Davina Marraccini, a spokeswoman at the EPA’s regional office in Atlanta. The EPA also objects to temperature and dioxin limits outlined in the permit, and the absence of monitoring for some water quality standards. The Atlanta office reviews hundreds of wastewater discharge permits each year and typically objects to fewer than five, the agency said. The EPA could take over authority for the discharge permit unless it can agree with state water regulators. Environmental advo-

The 101-year-old plant previously was owned by Champion International, then for about eight years by its employees and a New York investment group. “Technologically, it’s possible. Anything is possible, but the cost would be astronomical. It is not feasible.� said Sergei Chernikov of the state Division of Water Quality. He was responding to a rare EPA objection to the state’s proposed discharge permit, which allows the plant to release treated industrial wastewater into the river.

NATION BRIEFS
Odds long, but Dems push ahead
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats pushed hard to revive President Barack Obama’s stalled health care overhaul on Friday — and pointed to glimmers of hope — but the long odds facing them seemed little changed after Obama’s extraordinary summit with both parties’ leaders. At the White House, press secretary Robert Gibbs said Obama would unveil a “way forward” next week on legislation that has been his foremost domestic priority. Obama, who will first discuss the strategy with Democratic congressional leaders, said at Thursday’s bipartisan marathon that he’s open to several Republican ideas, including medical malpractice changes. On Capitol Hill, a pair of retiring Democrats who opposed the legislation when the House approved it in November appeared willing to reconsider. And some supporters of a House provision strictly banning federal financing for abortion — a complicated sticking point — indicated an openness to different language. The outcome could affect nearly all Americans, remaking the way they pay

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif. speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Friday. for health care, the kinds of care they’re likely to receive and where they’re likely to get it. Or there could be smaller changes — or none — outcomes the Democrats say will lead to crushing budget problems and tens of millions of people still being left out. Republicans see problems in the health care system, too, but recommend less-far-reaching prescriptions. Despite the signs of movement, a day after television cameras brought the nation Obama’s unusual day-long discussion with top Republicans and Democrats there were no clear indications of a major change in Congress. The equation remained the
same: Democratic leaders, especially in the House, will have to scramble to find votes to pass any health legislation and they’re almost certainly going to have to do it without Republican support. And there are Democratic doubts, as well. “People who voted ’yes’ would love a second bite at the apple to vote ’no’ this time, because they went home and got an unpleasant experience” because of their votes, said Rep. Jason Altmire, a moderate Democrat from Pennsylvania. “On the other hand,” he added, “I don’t know anybody who voted ’no’ who regrets it.”
SANDHILLS ORTHODONTICS
ken leaders posed more woes for a party that had vowed to end a “culture of corruption.” The House ethics committee said that aides to the 20-term New York Democrat tried at least three times to show him the trips — to Antigua in 2007 and St. Maarten in 2008 — had corporate sponsorship, a violation of congressional gift rules.
Paterson drops bid for election under pressure from Dems
Top Democrats spoke of plunging ahead anyway. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said she saw “good prospects for passing” health legislation and contended Thursday’s meeting showed a GOP content to accept the status quo of insurance companies bullying consumers. That was echoed in the Senate by No. 2 Democratic leader Richard Durbin of Illinois, who said, “We are not going to wait.” The Democrats seem ready to use “reconciliation,” a seldom-used procedure that could let them push legislation through the Senate with a simple majority. Until now, Republicans have used a filibuster to force Democrats to find 60 votes in the 100-member Senate — one more than they have. Republicans say reconciliation should be used for budget changes, not a dramatic reshaping of national health care policy. With polls showing some voters consider the process unfair, some moderate Democrats have expressed a reluctance to support it. Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, D-S.D., said Friday she will be a “definite no” if it is used.
NEW YORK (AP) — Less than a week after declaring he would seek a full fouryear term, New York Gov. David Paterson abruptly dropped his election bid Friday under pressure from Democrats concerned about his faltering agenda and criticism of his handling of a domestic abuse case involving a trusted aide. At a news conference, Paterson cited an accumulation of distractions that prompted him to end his campaign, but said he had never abused his office. Paterson insisted that he would not resign and said he would serve out his term “fighting for the state of New York.”
Rogers stepping down as WH social secretary WASHINGTON (AP) — White House social secretary Desiree Rogers is stepping down three months after an uninvited couple crashed the Obama administration’s first state dinner and she was heavily criticized for her role in allowing the embarrassing episode to happen. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama issued a statement Friday thanking their longtime friend from their days together in Chicago for the “terrific job she’s done” organizing more than 330 events in little more than a year in the post. They indicated no reason for the departure, effective sometime next month after a transition period.
Rangel won’t step down after ethics criticism WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Charles Rangel said Friday he won’t step down as chairman of the powerful House tax-writing committee after being admonished by an ethics panel for accepting corporate-sponsored trips to the Caribbean.

Bon Joviâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour doubles as research By GENE JOHNSON ON THE NET
Associated Press Writer
http://www.bonjovi.com http://www.jonbonjovisoulfoundation.org http://www.desc.org
SEATTLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jon Bon Joviâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new tour is bringing the veteran rock star to venues he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually visit on the road. A shelter for hardcore alcoholics in Seattle. A tour of Skid Row in Los Angeles. Perhaps a squatters village in Sacramento. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because this tour in support of Bon Joviâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest release, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Circle,â&#x20AC;? is also a factfinding mission. The singer plans on visiting as many homeless shelters and programs as time allows in hopes of getting ideas and inspiration to shape his own work with the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, a Philadelphiabased charity that fights homelessness by building affordable housing, establishing community kitchens and cleaning up vacant lots in blighted neighborhoods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent the last quarter of a century touring, going from arena-stadium to hotel back to arena-stadium-hotel,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This time, because of my foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work over the last six years building affordable housing, on my days off and when the opportunity arises ... I will go do

Among those stops: Skid Row in Los Angeles early next month with Steve Lopez, the Los Angeles Times columnist who wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Soloist,â&#x20AC;? about a schizophrenic, homeless and wildly talented cellist named Nathaniel Ayers. The book was later made into a movie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Skid Row is an eyeopener,â&#x20AC;? Lopez said in an e-mail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know Jon Bon Jovi, but I suspect he may come out of this with a keener sense of how many people are suffering in this economy, and of how many people on Skid Row are dealing with a combination of financial, physical and mental health issues, many of them veterans.â&#x20AC;?
Such themes dovetail with the latest album, which features â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working for the Working Manâ&#x20AC;? and other songs inspired by the economic meltdown and political turmoil around the world. Before he kicked off the tour with two shows at Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s KeyArena last week, Bon Jovi toured one of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most well-recognized homelessness programs, a building run by the Downtown Emergency Service Center that provides homeless alcoholics, many of whom have serious mental illnesses, a place to live â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and drink alcohol. The program saves taxpayers more than $4 million a year in social service and jail costs and creates a safe atmosphere where residents
may be more likely to get sober, according to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association last year. The singer didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t specify what aspects of the program he might incorporate into his future work at the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, which has built more than 150 units of affordable housing in seven cities since 2006. Various problems of homelessness require different solutions, he said. Thinking back on a quarter-century of hanging out in hotels around the world, does the 47year-old wish he started working on the homelessness issue earlier? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I was ready for it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a boy in a rock band, you want to go out and see the world and do all the great things youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to do when you join a rock band.

NYPD investigating Seinfeld parking placard NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The New York Police Department is investigating why a Bronx police placard was displayed in comedian Jerry Seinfeldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car. Seinfeld spokeswoman Elizabeth Clark Seinfeld Zoia on Wednesday said the performer wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of the parking placard, which belonged to Seinfeldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longtime driver, a retired police officer. She says the driver became concerned for Seinfeldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety when he arrived with the comedian to the studio where his new show is being filmed and found a crowd outside. She says the driver apparently posted the placard briefly so he could escort Seinfeld inside. The spokeswoman says Seinfeld is sorry and takes responsibility for the incident, which wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be repeated. She says the driver wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fired. Police say their records indicate the paper placard had been turned in at the end of 2007, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re investigating.

on set as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Insiderâ&#x20AC;? says on its Web site that Coleman was transported to a local hospital in stable condition. A publicist for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Insiderâ&#x20AC;? declined to say Coleman what the former child star was doing on the entertainment program and referred inquiries to the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Web site. Coleman walked off â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Insiderâ&#x20AC;? during a visit to the show earlier this month. He was being interviewed about his arrest in Utah last year on domestic violence charges when he blew up, telling the attorney questioning him to â&#x20AC;&#x153;drown herself in the oceanâ&#x20AC;? before he stormed off the set. Coleman was briefly hospitalized last month after suffering a seizure. He has had two failed kidney transplants and been plagued by various health problems.
Harry Potter speaks for gay suicide prevention NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Daniel Radcliffe is explaining why he has just filmed a public service announcement for The Trevor Project, the leading organization focusing on suicide prevention efforts among gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered youth. Because his parents were both actors, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up knowing a lot of gay men and it was never something that I even thought twice about â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that some men were gay and some werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harry Potterâ&#x20AC;? megastar said Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then I went to school and (for) the first time ... I came across homophobia. ... I had never encountered it before. It shocked RatliďŹ&#x20AC;e me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have always hated anybody who is not tolerant of gay men or lesbians or bisexuals,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I am in the very fortunate position where I can actually help or do something about it.â&#x20AC;? The result is a PSA that was filmed Friday at the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wall Street offices. The announcement is scheduled to air sometime this spring. Radcliffe first became aware of The Trevor Project, founded in 1998 by three filmmakers, while he was appearing on Broadway in the 2008 revival of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Equus.â&#x20AC;? Their movie, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trevor,â&#x20AC;? which won an Academy Award for best short film, concerned a gay teen who attempts suicide. The Trevor Project allows young people to call in for counseling or just to talk.

Charlie Parks, a Republican, filed to run against Dalrymple. Cole was a county employee for 13 years, spending 11 years as the public works director and two as the assistant county manager before leaving in 2007. He currently serves on the Lee County Board of Health.

Bad move?
Sports QUICKREAD LOCALS COMPETE IN STATE WRESTLING TOURNEYS GREENSBORO — There will not be a state wresting champion from Sanford this year. Lee County wrestler Devante Ragland lost his first-round 4-A state tournament match at the Greensboro Coliseum on Friday morning, falling 8-1 to Glenn’s Chris Giddens. But the day was not a total loss for the Jackets’ senior heavyweight. Ragland bounced back with a pin in the first period against West Mecklenburg’s Devin McCrorey in the consolation bracket. At presstime, Ragland was still awaiting his next opponent. Southern Lee freshman Arturo Aguirre also lost in his opening 3-A match in the 103-pound weight class, falling 9-7 in a close match against Fred T. Foard’s Jeffrey Buchanan. Aguirre also rebounded with a win in the consolation bracket, upending West Craven’s Dajohn Gooding 8-7. At presstime, Aguirre was scheduled to wrestle North Iredell’s Jacob Tutterrow. Former Southern Lee standout Chris Rubinosky, now of Union Pines, opened his 3-A tournament with a 5-0 shutout of St. Stephens’ Alex Pollard in the 135-pound division. Rubinosky then fell 6-5 to Marvin Ridge’s Nathan Mullins and at presstime was set to wrestle Havelock’s Michael Newby in the consolation bracket.

GATORADE LATEST TO DROP TIGER WOODS
NEW YORK (AP) — Add Gatorade to the list of endorsement deals that Tiger Woods has lost. A spokesperson for the drink, sold by PepsiCo Inc., confirmed late Friday that it had ended its relationship with the golfer. “We no longer see a role for Tiger in our marketing efforts and have ended our relationship,” a Gatorade spokeswoman said. “We wish him all the best.” The spokewoman said Gatorade would continue its relationship with the Tiger Woods Foundation. Gatorade discontinued its Tiger Woods-brand drinks in November, a decision made before Woods’ marital problems and infidelities became known. At the time, Gatorade stuck by him as a sponsor, but it too relented on Friday, becoming the third major endorsement deal the golfer has lost. AT&T Inc. and Accenture, dropped Woods in the weeks following the tabloid frenzy of cheating allegations.
NCAA UNC’S TRAVIS WEAR MAY RETURN SOON
CHAPEL HILL (AP) — North Carolina coach Roy Williams doesn’t sound optimistic about getting freshman Travis Wear back for this weekend’s game at Wake Forest. Williams said Friday that Wear is participating in limited portions of practice and would have to go through a lot more with no effects from his sprained left ankle before he can play again. Wear was hurt in practice and has missed five straight games. The injury is one of several to hit the struggling Tar Heels. They have likely lost Ed Davis for the year with a broken left wrist, while Travis’ twin brother David is also likely lost for the rest of the year with a left hip injury suffered in a recent practice.

SANFORD — For a quarter, it looked as though the Southern Lee Cavaliers were going to win their second sectional final in school history. But it was only for a quarter. After leading 16-10 at the end of the first period, the Cavaliers were limited to just four second-quarter points as Northeast Guilford rallied to a 60-50 victory in the third round of the NCHSAA 3-A East Playoffs on Friday night in Sanford. The Cavaliers (17-9) were outscored 31-18 in the second and third quarters and Southern Lee was unable to catch up. “I give a ton of credit to Northeast Guilford for making the proper adjustments,” said Southern Lee head coach Gaston Collins. “We started off

Josh Mellette finished with 10 points and four rebounds before fouling out in the fourth quarter. Robert Richard had nine points, all of which came in the second half, and nine boards.

Hockey party draws little heat
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Carry on, ladies. Canada’s top Olympic official sees no reason to worry about the women’s hockey team’s beer-swigging, cigar-smoking celebration of its gold-medal victory over the U.S. team. After the players swiftly apologized, other top Olympic officials praised the Canadians and played down the party Friday, even while encouraging them to be a bit more discreet next time. “As far as we’re concerned, the matter is closed,” said Michael Chambers, president of the Canadian Olympic Committee. “It was nothing more than an error of judgment committed at the exciting time of winning a gold medal. It was a
spilling out of the celebration that was going on in the dressing room.” The International Olympic Committee send it would send a letter to Canadian organizers asking for more details about what happened but was careful not to characterize the response as an investigation. Vancouver organizing chief John Furlong said it was simply a matter of “young kids who were happy.” “They had a great time,” Furlong said Friday. “They let their hair down. Yes, they said they were sorry, but they’re great ambassadors for hockey, and they shouldn’t regret what they did for a moment.” Several players were expected to comment on their victory later Friday.

scored four times on Kiprusoff in a six-goal first period Friday, winning 6-1 and surging into the Olympic gold-medal game. As the clock ran out, U.S. captain Jamie Langenbrunner led the celebration by banging his stick against the boards as his teammates hugged on the bench . The U.S. will meet the CanadaSlovakia winner on Sunday, 50 years to the day after capturing gold in 1960 at Squaw Valley, Calif. “It was a crazy 12 minutes,” said forward Patrick Kane, who scored twice. “I’ve never been a part of something like that. It seemed like we were scoring every shift.” It felt even longer to the Finns. “The game is over after six minutes,” 39-year-old Finland forward Teemu Selanne said. “It was a long day and very disappointing.” By the time Kiprusoff left the game 10:08 in, the U.S. had a 4-0 lead on only seven shots. The Calgary Flames goalie had allowed four

Darius Gill had eight points. Northeast Guilford was led by Donavan Griffith’s 18 points and six rebounds. Bryce Benjamin added 15 points and five rebounds. Darius White scored 14 points in the victory for the Rams, who advance to the fourth round once again under head coach Curtis Hunter. “We’ve been there before, but this one really feels great,” said Hunter. “This is a young team and with all the trials and tribulations we’ve had this year, it feels great to win a sectional final. We’ve got to play much better next week than we did tonight if we want to keep on playing.” The Rams shot 19-of33 in the second half for 59 percent after shooting just 39 percent in the first half. Hunter says that once his Rams played their style of basketball in the final three periods, it made it difficult for the Cavaliers to catch back up. “We calmed down a little bit,” said Hunter. “We saw that they were able to push the ball up the floor, so we did it, too, and we stopped turning the ball over. We made it hard for them to score. They had a rough night from the free throw line, so we were lucky to foul guys that were struggling.” The Cavaliers clearly exceeded many people’s expectations this season, especially after losing four-years starters in superstar Akeem Richmond and point guard Chad Taylor. Collins feels that this year’s team still has a lot to be proud of. “I’m extremely proud
After the Canadians beat the United States 2-0 on Thursday and were given their gold medals, 14 players returned to the ice, smoking cigars and drinking beer and champagne. Marie-Philip Poulin, the 18-year-old hero of the gold-medal game with two goals, had a beer in her hand while she’s still a few weeks shy of the legal drinking age in British Columbia. Haley Irwin poured champagne into the mouth of Tessa Bonhomme, gold medals swinging from both their necks. Goalies Charline Labonte and Kim St. Pierre posed at center ice for Poulin, lying on their stomachs with a giant bottle of champagne resting just above the Olympic rings. Rebecca Johnston even
goals total on 75 shots in three previous games, giving him the top save percentage in the tournament. “No one is ever as good as they look. And no one is ever as bad as they look, either,” Langenbrunner said. Kiprusoff’s day appeared to be over after Eric Johnson made it 3-0 with a power-play goal at 8:36. That prompted Finnish coach Jukka Jalonen to call timeout. Kiprusoff got a reprieve, but was back at the bench 1:32 later when Kane scored his first. This time, Kiprusoff kept his mask on and marched straight down the tunnel toward the dressing room. Backup goalie Niklas Backstrom pulled off his baseball cap and took Kiprusoff’s place in the net. Things didn’t go any better for him. Backstrom got beat twice on the first four shots he faced. “We didn’t expect that in a million years,” U.S. defenseman Jack Johnson said. “I don’t think anyone did, especially when you get down to the final four, but it happened for us and we’re looking forward to Sunday.” It will be the first time since 1972
jumped into the driver’s seat of the ice-resurfacing machine, posing for pictures and grinning. Gilbert Felli, the IOC’s executive director of the Olympic Games, said the antics were “not what we want to see.” “If they celebrate in the changing room, that’s one thing,” he said, “but not in public.” But IOC spokesman Mark Adams suggested Friday the only outrage was coming from the press. “To be honest, I think people are in search of a story that doesn’t exist,” he said. Hockey Canada apologized in a statement several hours after the match and said it regrets any embarrassment to the IOC or Canadian organizers.
the U.S. men will play for Olympic gold on foreign soil. Kiprusoff had only himself to blame for the start of his misery. The U.S. cleared its zone with a nudge of the puck that sent it sliding slowly into the Finnish end. Phil Kessel raced after it and forced Kiprusoff to come way out of his crease. The goalie gently swept the puck away, but right onto the stick of Malone. He quickly fired a shot from the top of the left circle into the vacated net at 2:04 for his third goal. Zach Parise matched Malone and made it 2-0 when he nestled a shot under the crossbar for a power-play goal. It came off a perfect pass from Paul Stastny at 6:22. This marks the second time in three Olympics the American men will play for gold. They haven’t claimed the top spot on the podium since the 1980 Miracle on Ice at Lake Placid, N.Y. “We believed we could win a gold medal. Now we have the opportunity,” Langenbrunner said. Canada edged the U.S. for gold during the 2002 Salt Lake City
OLYMPICS BRIEFS competition. Holcomb and his teammates in USA-1 — “The Night Train” — completed their two runs in snowy conditions on Friday in 1 minute, 41.75 seconds. Holcomb is attempting to end a 62-year gold-medal drought in fourman. He leads Canada’s Lyndon Rush by 0.40 seconds and is 0.44 ahead of Germany’s Andre Lange, the two-time defending Olympic four-man champion. Lange earlier won the two-man at the Vancouver Games.
Riesch wins, Vonn misses gate in slalom WHISTLER, British Columbia (AP) — Maria Riesch of Germany has won the slalom title for her second gold medal of the Winter Olympics, as Lindsey Vonn skied out chasing her second victory. Riesch led after the first leg and had a combined two-run time of 1 minute, 42.89 seconds through the snow and fog on Friday. Marlies Schild of Austria was 0.43 second back to take silver. Sarka Zahrobska of the Czech Republic trailed by 1.01 to get bronze. Downhill champion Vonn straddled a gate early in her first run and did not finish for the third time in five races.
U.S. bobsled among 6 to crash WHISTLER, British Columbia (AP) — Six bobsleds, including one from the United States, have crashed during the first two heats of Olympic four-man bobsled. Bobsleds from Austria, Russia, Slovakia, Japan and Britain also crashed Friday — all in turn No. 13. There were no serious injuries. John Napier, in the USA-2 sled, lost control during his second run. The sled overturned in the notorious curve nicknamed “50-50.”

DEAR ABBY
BRIDGE HAND
Teen being offered sex needs to have a talk with father DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend is very sweet. The problem is, she wants to have sex with me. I don’t think I am ready for that. I also don’t know how to approach my parents about this. I really need some help — fast! — NOT READY IN PENNSYLVANIA
HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate
Happy Birthday: There will be plenty to contend with regarding work and dealing with colleagues, superiors and institutions. Emotional blackmail is apparent, so stick to the truth. Use your energy wisely and build your base on solid ground. This can be a great year but only if you play a straight game. Your numbers are 2, 9, 20, 26, 31, 34, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do something nice for yourself that will help you relax and enjoy home and family. You will accomplish more if you feel rested and have had time to mull over your plans for the immediate future. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t fall for a good sell job when you know better. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably won’t work. Stick to your budget regardless of the temptations around you. Don’t let your emotions take over. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Avoid making promises you may not want to deliver. Someone you are trying to impress will take advantage of your vulnerable position. Focus on home, family and improving your surroundings. A short trip will lead to a good buy. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t just sit there when you can be doing so much to improve your life, your position and your future. Love is in the stars and spending time with someone special will lead to a much better relationship. Make and accept change. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be honest, attentive and willing to meet the demands put on you by someone you find intriguing. You can make money but don’t do so at the expense of someone who is counting on you. A trip may be enticing but it won’t bring you the hopedfor results. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): An opportunity to
WORD JUMBLE
share something special with someone you care for will lead to a larger commitment and future plans. Enforce ground rules and push for what you feel will bring you the greatest return. Partnerships and team efforts will pay off. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stop procrastinating before you miss out on something good. You are the only one holding you back. Take whatever you have done and launch it as is and the help you need finishing what you started will appear. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take advantage of what’s being offered. Don’t be so suspicious; just do your homework and move forward swiftly. A change in the romance department will be unexpected but will lead to a much happier union. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You’ll be intuitive but that may not be enough. If you have been difficult to deal with in the past, expect to face some tough questions about your intentions. Your charm will not help you get away with lies or exaggerating the truth. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Thoughts should be followed by actions but, before you take a leading role, figure out what everyone is up to. Better to be safe than sorry. Take your past experience into account in order to make the right choice now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): It’s time to lay your cards on the table. By opening up, you will be able to gain the trust and understanding of someone who can help you achieve your goals. Your intuition won’t let you down. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Follow through with any promise you have made, regardless of how tough it might be. Your reputation will suffer if you don’t hold up your end of a bargain. Love is in the stars, so put aside time for romancing.
DEAR NOT READY: Your girlfriend may not be as interested in having sex with you as she may be in doing what she thinks you may expect from her. That’s why you should have a talk with her and tell her that, at this point, you don’t think you are ready. You may find she’s relieved to hear it. Because you find this subject too delicate to talk to both your parents about, I recommend you bring it up with one of them — your father, perhaps. You don’t have to start the talk by announcing that you’re being pressured into sex. Instead, start out by saying there is talk around your school about the number of kids who are having sex and you’d like to talk about it. If he isn’t comfortable with discussing this with you — and I’m pretty sure that won’t be the case — then talk to a counselor at school about the fact that you need some direction. o DEAR ABBY: My daughter “Kayley” has been asking me to set up a playdate for her and her friend “Julie.” I have met Julie’s parents on a few occasions -- the playground, school events, etc. For some reason, I feel uncomfortable
P.S. You may be worried over nothing because Julie’s mother may not make that offer you’re dreading. o

around them. I thought I smelled alcohol on her father’s breath when we were at the playground, and he also said some things that seemed inappropriate. I’ve been avoiding the playdate request because I know if we invite Julie, she will probably invite my daughter to her house to reciprocate. I don’t think I can leave Kayley at their house. I keep making up excuses, but Kayley is persistent. I don’t want to tell her that I’m not comfortable with Julie’s parents or the prospect of having her go to their house because I’m afraid she might repeat what I say to Julie. What should I do? — AT A LOSS FOR WORDS IN MAINE DEAR AT A LOSS: Stop making excuses and invite Julie to play at your home. When Julie’s mother offers to reciprocate, tell her — sweetly — that you prefer playdates be at your home. Period. Do not be defensive about it, just firm.
DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Ben,” is a loving, caring, bighearted and sincere man, but I have a problem with the way he presents himself in public. His clothing is frequently stained, wrinkled and ill-fitting, and he doesn’t seem to care. He even wears clothing with holes and rips. Some of his clothes look like they haven’t seen a washing machine in weeks because they’re so stained. I have bought Ben new clothes, but most of the time he puts them away and wears his old, beat-up and grubby things. He gets upset and defensive when I bring it up. Other people have commented about the way he looks and, frankly, sometimes I’m embarrassed to be seen with him. He’s a great guy and I don’t want to hurt his feelings, but this really bothers me. I don’t want him to look like a fashion plate, but neat and clean would be good. Any ideas on how to deal with this? — DISAPPOINTED WITH DISHEVELED DEAR DISAPPOINTED: I do have one. Rather than buying your husband any more clothes he doesn’t wear, take him shopping and have him select some items in which he would feel comfortable.
ODDS AND ENDS Air mail: Crews search wilderness for mail bags KALISPELL, Mont. (AP) — A cargo plane door opened in flight over Montana and likely turned two bags into air mail. Crews are searching the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex for the two priority mail bags that might have fallen out of the plane last weekend. Alpine Air reported that a cargo hatch on the twin-engine turboprop opened during the flight between Billings and Kalispell and the pilot was unable to close it. The plane carried about 3,000 pounds of mail. Postal workers aren’t sure any mail is missing, but if any is, they say it’s likely two bags, or about 25 packages. Weather hampered the search on Thursday for the bright orange mail bags. Kalispell customers who believe they’re missing priority mail packages are asked to call the Kalispell Post Office.
Woman accused of sending daughter to steal purse INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indianapolis woman faces a theft charge for allegedly coaxing her 5-year-old daughter into stealing a woman’s purse at a restaurant. According to a probable cause affidavit, a 24-year-old woman admitted asking her daughter to steal the purse Feb. 14 at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant.
SUDOKU
MY ANSWER The woman allegedly told officers she pointed out the purse she wanted her daughter to take and urged her to “Do it for Mommy” when the victim wasn’t looking. An arrest warrant was issued Thursday for the woman, who faces charges of theft and contributing to delinquency of a minor. Her 27-year-old boyfriend faces theft and assisting a criminal charges. Police said the woman’s daughter brought the boyfriend the purse after taking it from a booth.
Ohio police officers get drunk — on purpose DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Law enforcement officers in southwest Ohio were chugging down alcoholic drinks this week as part of a training exercise on how to give field sobriety tests. Several police officers and deputy sheriffs in Montgomery County volunteered to drink so colleagues could practice conducting the tests given to suspected drunk drivers. Dayton officer Will Wright says officials wanted officers to drink until they had slurred speech, glassy eyes and a lack of coordination. One test required intoxicated officers to walk heel-to-toe down a line and then hold up one leg to demonstrate balance. Wright says he hopes the exercise at the Dayton Police Academy helped officers gain a better understanding of how to deal with impaired drivers.

Don’t let fear keep you away Q: I’d like to give my life to Jesus but if I do I’m afraid I won’t be able to stick with it and live like I’m supposed to. I guess I’m too weak to be a Christian. -- T.C. A: The person who is most in danger of failing in the Christian life is the one who thinks he’s strong enough to live it on his own. Why is this? The reason is because he doesn’t think he needs God’s help to live the way he should. But that isn’t true! We’re all weak, and not one of us has the ability in our self to live the way God wants us to live. The Apostle Paul was the greatest Christian who ever lived, and yet he knew failure -- when he relied on himself. He wrote, “I know that nothing good lives in me.... For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out” (Romans 7:18). But listen: God knows our weakness -- and when we come to Christ, God comes to live within us by His Holy Spirit. One reason He does this is so we can turn to Him for the help we need. You don’t have the strength to live the way God wants you to live -- but God wants to give that strength to you, and He is only a prayer away. The Bible says, “The Spirit helps us in our weakness” (Romans 8:26). Don’t let your fear of failure -- or anything else -- keep you from Christ. God loves you, and even when you fail (and you will), He stands ready to forgive you and strengthen you. Turn to Christ and open your heart and life to Him today.
