INSTANT CLASSIC FANTASTIC FINISH

CHAMPS COME HOME

THE BIG 3

Minute by minute, second by second, the NCAA title game got better and better. Then came the final four seconds that produced one of the most dramatic finishes ever seen.

The only thing missing from a perfect scene at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham Tuesday was the man who brought Duke University its fourth title — Coach Krzyzewski

Jon Scheyer, Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith — the Duke Blue Devils’ “Big Three” — simply wouldn’t be denied their first title and the first one for the school since 2001

TEMPLE THEATRE

SANFORD — Sanford officials gave the go-ahead Tuesday on a rezoning that clears the way for a planned apartment complex on 11.5 acres in the Jonesboro area. The City Council unanimously voted to accommodate a developer’s request to allow a higher-density complex than Sanford’s previous residential mixed district allowed. Developer Brad Parker of South Carolina-based Greenway Residential Development LLC wants to build a 120-unit community called Autumn Oaks Apartments spread out over six, three-story buildings, in addition to a singlestory clubhouse with a leasing office, exercise and computers rooms and laundry facilities. According to a city staff analysis of Parker’s request, Autumn Oaks would have a density of 10 units per acre, although the property’s current zoning only allowed for 3.5 units per acre. Tuesday’s vote establishes Autumn Oaks as a conditional zoning district, or a “stand-alone district with (its) own unique conditions,” the

Former contractor resentenced in beating case

LILLINGTON (MCT) — A former CIA contractor from Lillington who was the first American civilian convicted of mistreating a detainee in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq was resentenced today under the direction of an appeals court. A federal judge sentenced David A. Passaro to six years, eight months in prison followed by three years of supervised release, according to a release from U.S. Attorney George E.B. Holding. Passaro was originally sentenced in 2007 to eight years, four months in prison after being convicted of assault resulting in serious bodily harm. That sentence was thrown out by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit after an appeal by Passaro. The appeals court confirmed Passaro’s

conviction, but it said the lower court should have better explained the sentence it imposed. According to the release, the assault took place while Passaro was working for the CIA at a base in Afghanistan. The victim of the assault was an Afghan man whom Passaro had been asked to interrogate. The man, Abdul Wali, was a farmer who lived in a nearby village and a suspect in a 2003 rocket attack on the base where Passaro was working. According to testimony at his trial, Passaro beat Wali with a flashlight and a spotlight and kicked him twice in the groin during two days of interrogations. Wali died within 48 hours. His death was subsequently investigated by the CIA and the FBI. — The Fayetteville Observer

Hegwer should have kept the public informed Our View Issue: Sanford City Manager Hal Hegwer approved $93,000 in debris removal without city council knowledge

Our stance: Voters don’t want to know every penny the city spends, but it has the right to know about a $93,000 bill. In the very least, our elected officials need to know

C

ities, counties and states make billions and billions of dollars worth of expenditures and transactions every day. And for the most part, the public is fine with the spending (as long as their tax dollars aren’t going up, of course). The average citizen has very little idea about the government’s bills, and frankly, many would cease to have a social life if they tracked every little penny. But there are the rare times when the government makes large transactions — like, say, in the $93,000 range — and not only does the public not realize

it ... the elected officials chosen to run the government don’t either. This happened Friday when Sanford City Manager Hal Hegwer approved about $93,000 for the removal of street debris that had been, for years, kept in the city’s Public Works Service Center. An audit of the facility by the state performed in December revealed that the debris needed to be moved somewhere else, like the city’s solid waste facility. The city was given until January, and then February, to make this happen, and after a few successful time extensions, hauling crews were seen doing the dirty

work on Friday. This became a problem with Sanford’s mayor, Cornelia Olive, noticed the trucks and the workers working on a day when the rest of the city had a holiday — Good Friday. Olive joined councilmen Mike Stone and Sam Gaskins on Monday for a behind-closed-doors discussion of the expenditure. Their concern — why was this nearly six-figure bill not expressed to them and why was the work being done on a holiday? We’re not suggesting Good Friday was chosen strategically, but we completely agree the

council (and more importantly, any resident — voter — who follows such transactions) should have been made aware of it. We elect our councilmen to make sure City Hall’s electric bills are reasonable ... and we sure-the-heck want them to be able to debate a $93,000 transaction. Hegwer didn’t break any laws. And if the debris removal was mandatory, it was mandatory. But let’s keep the public aware of these things. In the very least, keep the people they elected in-the-know. It’s what transparent government is all about.

Saluting Coach Gay

T

he name Paul Gay is emblazoned on the football stadium at Lee County High School — and for good reason. As coach at Sanford Central High School and later Lee County High School, from 1960 to 1985, his Yellow Jacket football teams saw great success. The 177-75-12 record speaks for itself, not to mention the various championships, including a state title. Coach Gay has received numerous honors over the years, including induction into the N.C. Sports Hall of Fame, East Carolina University Sports Hall of Fame and the N.C. High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame. One thing that stands out about Coach Gay are the close relationships he’s had with former coaches, players and managers. The respect they hold for their coach is heartwarming. It’s great to see that many of those individuals will be here on Saturday for the Paul Gay Gala, an opportunity to salute their former coach. It should be a memorable outing.

Springtime awakening

If you don’t think that spring has woken, just notice the yellow dusting that has blanketed our landscape. It’s nothing that a good spring rain will not wash away — at least temporarily. Speaking of spring, there’s plenty of happenings over the next several weeks. Events include the Spring Fever Festival at The Enrichment Center this Saturday, the Broadway Our Way Festival in Broadway and Old Fashioned Farmers Day in Silk Hope on April 17, the Cameron Antiques Street Fair on May 1, the Sanford Pottery Festival May 1-2, the Siler City Alive 2010 Festival on May 7-8, the Carthage Buggy Festival on May 9, the Central Carolina Small Business Expo on May 12, the Relay for Life of Lee County on May 14 and the Old Mill Crankup on May 15-16.

Today’s Prayer

I would like to openly voice my concerns about the school system’s dress code after reading your recent front page article which put compliance back in the hands of our principals through superintendent Dr. Moss. I have worked with our youth for the past decade, which makes me fully qualified to have my strong opinion. It concerns me that we have become more of a school system fashion show with less concern as parents of what our children know. If you look around, the skirts are shorter, along with the open blouses ... and the sagging jeans are at an all-time high of popularity (or is that an all-time low?). The truth is that how you look does still matter in a society that judges your first and last appearance, or is that impression? We may always fight the uniform concept, but the greater issue here is that we must teach our children to take pride in how they look as their community leaders and parents. It may seem like a small thing right now, but the first teachers of self-pride and self-respect are still our parents and grandparents. Now that our children look like school fashion models, is their GPA — which still stands for “going places average” when you apply for college or any job — still worthy? Who out there is still honestly leading by example? WILLIAM K. JOHNSON Sanford

True compassion means learning to say ‘no’ To the Editor: In response to Katherine Griffith (“Etheridge courageous for voting for health reform bill”), I would love to have the opportunity to ask her why she thinks taking money from me by force meets your admonition to “love our neighbors.” That does not feel like a loving act to me. I truly believe that loving my neighbors is to care for them as I would my own family. At times, that would include withholding the urge to give money that will be wasted in an effort to encourage more reasoned behavior. Compassion often requires saying “no.” The compassion you seek does not come at the end of the barrel of the government’s gun, but from the heart of the giver to the heart of the recipient. The government can’t replicate this act in any way. It merely exacerbates the problems of the recipient and inflames the “donor.” Please work toward truly changing your society by asking what can you do that the government shouldn’t. I pray you can see the value in this. MIKE NEAL Sanford

6A / Wednesday, April 7, 2010 / The Sanford Herald CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA

Region sitting on a trove of natural gas

RALEIGH (MCT) — North Carolina could become the next hot spot in the nation’s natural gas bonanza. Natural gas deposits, trapped in prehistoric geological formations, lie buried less than a mile deep throughout parts of Lee, Chatham, Durham, Wake and Orange counties. Geologists estimate the formations cover nearly 1,400 square miles and could contain enough natural gas to supply the state’s energy needs for about 40 years at current levels of usage. North Carolina relies heavily on natural gas to run electric power plants, to fuel industrial operations and to heat homes and offices. “We think it’s commercially significant,� said James Simons, the state geologist. “These deposits could extend farther than

we think. It could be a lot more.� The more natural gas is confirmed, the more frenzied the scramble to cash in. Still, no one expects the rush in North Carolina that gripped Louisiana in 2008 after the discovery of the Haynesville Shale, a 9,000-square-mile natural gas deposit. Hundreds of wells tapped into the gasrich “pay zone,� making millionaires overnight out of landowners and spawning a host of environmental concerns. For the time being, state laws that prohibit certain types of drilling as well as uncertainty about the size of the deposits have limited industry interest in North Carolina. But the natural gas potential in this state is piquing interest, and a federal assessment of the state’s gas potential, due out next year, could focus

greater attention on the state. Energy companies have been collecting state geological data in recent months and checking county land records to identify local property owners. “The people who are interested are trying to keep itquiet,� said Ronald Perkins, a Duke University geology professor who also works as a consultant for the energy industry. “If it does take off, companies will start coming in and competing for land.� Right now, Perkins said, the state is in “the wildcat phase� of exploration. WhitMar Exploration Co. in Denver and Magnum Land Services of Michigan have requested core samples from the state geological archives, and have checked county land records. If the companies decide to drill in North Carolina, landowners could reap a windfall in land-lease bonuses and royalty payments — ranging from less than $100 a month to thou-

sands of dollars, depending on property size — for natural gas extracted below their farms and homes.

Drilling techniques Natural gas is in high demand because it’s the planet’s cleanest fossil fuel, producing only half the greenhouse gases generated by burning coal. Unlike coal, gas emits virtually no mercury, a potent neurotoxin that can cause birth defects. Until recently natural gas was in scarce global supply. Vast underground reserves called shale basins were long thought impractical to drill because of their length. But the prospects for natural gas changed dramatically less than a decade ago as energy companies perfected two technologies: horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. The breakthroughs have turned previously marginal shale basins into energy goldmines, not only in this country but also in Europe, South America, India and China. According to industry

and government estimates, natural gas from U.S. shale basins will boost U.S. natural gas supplies by a third to a half. Geologists and mining companies have known for decades that North Carolina contains pockets of oil, coal and natural gas, and coal was mined here throughout the last century. The presumed amounts of oil and gas did not justify further exploration. But the extent of natural gas deposits in the state was unknown until just several years ago, when state geologists researched and analyzed the Triassicera shale basins in the state and made their estimates for natural gas potential. In recent months the N.C. Geological Survey has been sharing the data with state public officials, environmentalists and the energy industry. The basins in this state cross county lines, and some exceed 50 miles. In addition to the Triangle, geologists have identified shale deposits in Moore, Granville, Montgomery, Richmond and Anson counties.

Changing the law Current state law does not allow horizontal drilling or hydraulic fracturing. The legal impediments are limiting exploration efforts in North Carolina and buying time for environmentalists to shore up support for strict standards. Rep. Joe Hackney (D-Chapel Hill) said he has not been lobbied by the gas industry to change the law and added that it was too early to say what could happen next. Critics likely would fight revisions to the state law

that don’t require companies to disclose injected chemicals, don’t lead to a reduction of air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions and have the effect of crowding out development of solar power and wind energy. “It’s fraught with potential risk,� said Molly Diggins, state director for the Sierra Club. “The bar to doing it in an environmentally safe way is pretty high.�

Land acquisition Timber farmer Dan Butler of Southern Pines owns underground mineral rights his father bought from more than a dozen Lee County property owners decades ago as an investment in coal mining. Years, later, wells drilled on the properties indicated the presence of natural gas. Butler owns the rights to natural gas royalties in perpetuity on those properties. He said he was not at liberty to discuss which properties are affected or his contacts with natural gas companies. “Several companies have contacted me with regard to these properties,� Butler said. “They’re wishing to evaluate the area.� North Carolina is such a latecomer to the shale gas boom that recent maps showing the nation’s shale basins don’t include this state’s formations. Perkins, the Duke professor, said energy exploration in the state would likely appeal to regional companies that work smaller projects. “The first they’ll want to do is establish a land position,� Perkins said. “You get all the land you can get, and then decide where you want to drill.�

Light-filled building opens

Hopefuls diverge from Obama on drilling

RALEIGH — The North Carolina Museum of Art’s new building marries light and white in a way that designers say shows off the works to their best advantage, leaving nothing to color visitors’ view of the art. The 127,000-squarefoot expansion opens to the public April 24, but reporters got to see the approximately 750 works in their new home on Tuesday. The lightness and airiness of the museum are meant to emphasize the art, yet are as important to the building as the works themselves. “We wanted to push it to the limit,� Dan Gottlieb, the museum’s director of planning and design, said of the lack

Hamilton said she didn’t know where to begin describing Blue; she had too many good things to say about him. “He was probably one of the most talented and gifted people I have ever known,� she said. “He was probably the most supportive person.� As a drama teacher and theater director, his shows always had “what I’d call a magic moment,� Hamilton said, “that one special thing that tied a show together.� Blue impacted the lives of her children as well, she said. “He was truly the most giving person,� Hamilton said. “If you mentioned something, he’d show up with it.� She still has a stuffed bear Blue gave her in high school. “His capacity to love was limitless,� she said, choking up. “He was the best guy in the world.� Chelsea Schalton (Chelly Gahar), who graduated from Sanford Central High School in 1974, met Blue in junior high and worked with him in theatrical productions in high school.

Jo Ann Bowman, former music teacher and administrator at Lee County High School, met Blue when he was 8 years old. She said they struck up a friendship then that had remained strong ever since. “It was obvious very quickly that he was extremely bright and extremely talented,� she said about meeting him. “Once I got to know Bobby, we became very good friends.� Bowman worked with him while he was a student at LCHS (then known as Sanford Central) and, after graduating in 1974, he returned to teach. “The kids who worked with him were just devoted to him,� she said. “It was obvious that he absolutely loved theater ... He loved being the one who helped introduce students to theater.� Each moment with Blue was special, Bowman said, adding that there are too many good memories to name just one. “He did so many good things and never told anyone. He spread his goodness in silence,� she said. Trish Hamilton met Blue when she was 14 years old. He started as a

This building is about making a pure experience so that whether it’s a Renaissance painting or contemporary art, you’re bringing natural light and the absence of color so that all that’s left is the art work.� Even the museum’s curator of European art — who was accustomed to seeing Old Masters hanging on deeply colored walls and, therefore, was skeptical of the allwhite concept — said he accepted the whiteness. “I tell you, when you see them here, when you see the daylight coming in from the side, these

Even for me as a curator, who has lived with these pictures for more than 25 years, it’s a revelation to see them in this kind of light.� New York-based architects Thomas Phifer and Partners designed the building, using light in a way that designers say has never been seen in a museum.

To this day, Schalton said Blue’s high school performance as Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof� is the best she’s ever seen. Bianka Stumpf was a good friend of Blue’s for many years; he sang at her wedding and many people said she could charge money for it. “He’s just that talented. He will be sorely missed,� she said. Many people are lucky to do one thing well; Blue did a variety of things well, like writing, singing, acting and teaching, she said. “He truly was the most brilliant person I know,� she said. “Just the total package in terms of intellect and talent.� When directing a play, “he always, always was respectful of anybody’s contribution,� no matter their talent level, Stumpf said. “He could make anyone feel like, ‘Wow, I am something,’� she said. Stumpf said she’ll never forget his big, booming laugh. “I feel very fortunate to say, hey, I was his friend,� she said.

seum to display casts of sculptures by Auguste Rodin in the middle of the floor, rather than up against the wall. The museum has more than 30 Rodin casts, some inside the building and others in a courtyard off the Rodin gallery and accessible from that gallery. The building was funded with $67 million in public money, continuing a tradition that began 1947, when the Legislature appropriated $1 million to purchase art. The design has allowed the museum to exhibit new large works — such as an 18-foot-by25-foot contemporary piece by El Anatsui of Nigeria, made of bottle caps, pieces of liquor packaging and older works.

multi-generational play “Crowns� and drama “Proof.� In “Chicago,� set in the 1920s, Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly are murderers on Death Row, fighting for the spotlight and acquittal. It’s become an especially well-known production after the film version came out in 2002 starring Renee Zellweger and Catherine ZetaJones. It’s a high-energy production with great musical numbers, Taphorn said, and will feature a cast of about 20 people. It will run Sept. 16-Oct. 3. Contemporary farce “Flaming Idiots,� running Oct. 21- Nov. 7, focuses on two men hoping for a murder to take place in their restaurant because they believe it will put them on the map. It’s a nine-person comedic production, Taphorn said. “We’ve had a lot of success with comedies in the past,� she said. “‘Flaming Idiots’ is a farce but it’s a more modern farce.� She hopes to use local talent for “Flaming Idiots� like she did for “Moonlight and Magnolias� and “Stones in His Pockets.�

Former state Sen. Cal Cunningham said he would currently vote against any drilling but might consider it as part of a broader energy plan. “While I’m resistant to drilling off North Carolina’s coast, I also recognize that we need a comprehensive national energy policy,� Cunningham said. “If they find something that is a crucial part of a greater energy policy, let’s discuss that.� Obama last week voiced support for lifting drilling bans off the southern Atlantic coastline, in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and in parts of Alaska, reversing two decades of policy. Each of the three leading candidates said in interviews with The AP that they’d prefer to focus on a broader party platform of investing in alternative energy sources.

AUDITIONS The Temple Theatre will hold general auditions for the 2010-11 season on July 17. Auditions for the upcoming season are open to anyone ages 8 and up. Audition times are available between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. July 17. To schedule your audition, call Temple Theatre’s administrative office at (919) 774-4512, ext. 221.

Taphorn hopes “Christmas Carol,� running Dec. 2-19, becomes a Sanford tradition. The show, which premiered this past year and featured almost 40 actors, is a musical take on the classic holiday production. “It was such a big hit,� she said. “We put so much work and time and energy into it.� “Crowns� is an 11-person play about multi-generational relationships that will run Jan. 28-Feb. 6. It tells the story of a young black girl who learns about family traditions through the other women in her family. “Crowns� refers to the hats black women wear to church, Taphorn said. It’s a joint production with The Burning Coal Theatre in Raleigh, Taphorn said. She first saw the production there in 2007 and has worked with the producers to show it at Temple as well. “It was so successful for them,� she said. “They’ve done the

ground work for it, basically.� “Proof,� the story of a daughter of a disturbed mathematical genius, was performed just once at the Temple’s Black Box Theatre, but “people still talk about that,� Taphorn said. “It’s a great piece, a great drama.� The Temple will finish the season with “Beguiled Again,� one of Taphorn’s personal favorites. “It was honestly the hardest show I have ever performed in,� she said. It features classic songs “Blue Moon,� “The Lady Is A Tramp� and “My Funny Valentine,� and follows the careers of composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Lorenz Hart. Taphorn said she hopes the schedule doesn’t change but mentioned that it could if licensing issues arise. She has secured the licensing for all of the productions but said that it can be revoked or changed at any time if a larger, national tour of a certain production comes to the area.

RALEIGH (AP) — President Barack Obama’s plan to allow oil drilling off North Carolina’s coast has no support among his party’s chief candidates for U.S. Senate in the state. Chapel Hill attorney Ken Lewis positioned himself in an interview with The Associated Press as the most forceful opponent of offshore drilling, saying he wasn’t convinced that exploration would reduce gas prices and arguing that it would distract the country from focusing on low-carbon sources. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall said she would support exploration to see how much oil would be available but worries about the environmental and economic threat of drilling. “I am not very keen about that at all,� she said.

MISSING ROCKY MOUNT WOMEN

STATE BRIEFS

Perdue calls out National Guard

ROCKY MOUNT (AP) — North Carolina National Guardsmen started to help Tuesday in the search for two women whose disappearances are linked to the discoveries of seven bodies found in this area over the past several years. Gov. Beverly Perdue said the soldiers were deployed to the outskirts of this small city at the behest of the county sheriff. They are focused on an area where five women’s bodies have been found since 2007, the governor’s office said. “Having more boots on the ground will help law enforcement agencies

cover a larger area and speed up search efforts,� Perdue said in a statement. Police in September charged Antwan Maurice Pittman with first-degree murder in the death of one of the women. Authorities say he is a suspect in four similar slayings but have not charged him in any other death. Thomas Moore, Pittman’s court-appointed defense attorney, said his client has pleaded not guilty. “He’s only charged with one and he’s denied that,� Moore said. “We’re going to have a trial.�

Remains of the women, most with histories of drug use and prostitution, have been found months and years after they vanished. Many of the victims had histories of drug abuse and prostitution. The seventh body was found last month by people riding four-wheelers. Sheriff James Knight said the search of about 35 square miles started last Monday and would take the rest of this week. He said it included officers on four-wheelers, horseback and 14 teams with cadaver dogs. Authorities were focused along several

rural roads that are mostly empty at night — and also keeping an eye out for evidence in the slayings. “We’re trying to look at a direct route that they would take according to the patterns where we have found bodies at it in the past,� Knight said. He thanked the governor and said the timing was important because of the season’s rapid growth of plants obscuring the ground. The two women still missing were last seen in February 2009 and in June 2007, according to The Rocky Mount Telegram.

HEALTH CARE REFORM

Suit talk stopped as N.C. activists meet

RALEIGH (AP) — Democratic statewide elected officials have avoided an uncomfortable vote for now on Republican efforts to get North Carolina to join a lawsuit with at least 15 other states challenging the federal health care overhaul law. Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue refused Tuesday to discuss the

merits of a request by the two GOP members of the Council of State to allow Attorney General Roy Cooper’s office to spend public money from a special emergency account to pay legal bills associated with a potential lawsuit. Perdue said it wasn’t the right time to discuss it because fellow Democrat Cooper was absent

— Cooper’s office said he was in Charlotte talking with FBI supervisors at a speaking engagement he agreed to in January. The FBI meeting was originally set for February but rescheduled. “I will rule it out of order simply because the attorney general isn’t here,� Perdue said. “And when he is here you may have this discussion.�

Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry, one of the Council members making the request, disagreed with Perdue’s ruling but Perdue wouldn’t budge and went on to other business. Nine of the 10 council members were present or participating by telephone, save for Cooper, who would file any lawsuit on the state’s behalf.

Lawmakers hear from public on road formula RALEIGH (AP) — Local government officials and transportation advocates have given their input to North Carolina lawmakers on whether the state’s formula for road-building dollars should be changed. The Legislature’s transportation oversight committee took public comment on Tuesday from citizens and groups about the Department of Transportation’s so-called equity formula. It’s been used for more than 20 years to distribute money to seven regions. Urban areas argue the formula doesn’t account enough for traffic congestion and local population.

Man convicted of murders meant to hide robberies RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina man accused of killing five people to cover up a series of robberies has been convicted of firstdegree murder in all five deaths. Multiple media outlets reported that a Wake County jury convicted 33-year-old Samuel J. Cooper Jr. on Tuesday in the murders of five people in 2006 and

2007. Testimony indicated that all but one person was killed during a robbery. A sentencing hearing will begin on Wednesday after which jurors will decide whether Cooper is sentenced to life behind bars or death.

Ex-CIA contractor’s prison term reduced in appeal RALEIGH (AP) — The first American civilian found guilty of mistreating a detainee during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has had his prison sentenced reduced to less than seven years. Former CIA contractor David Passaro was resentenced Tuesday after the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the judge failed to explain his reason for giving Passaro a longer term than federal sentencing guidelines suggested. Passaro was initially sentenced to more than eight years in prison. Passaro was convicted in August 2006 after prosecutors argued that he beat detainee Abdul Wali with a flashlight and kicked him in the groin. Prosecutors said the assault took place during a two-day interrogation at a remote military base in Afghanistan in July 2003. Wali later died.

Crews search for survivors where 25 died

MONTCOAL, W.Va. (AP) — Rescuers held out slim hope Tuesday that four missing coal miners might have survived when a mine repeatedly cited for improperly venting methane gas exploded, killing 25 people in the country’s deadliest underground disaster in a quarter-century. A day after the blast in southern West Virginia, desperate rescuers began boring into the mine in hopes of releasing poisonous gases so crews could go in search of the men. But Gov. Joe Manchin said it could be Wednesday before much progress is made. “I don’t want to give anybody any false hope, but by golly, if I’m on that side of the table, and that’s my father or my brother or my uncle or my cousins, I’m going to have hope,” he said. Officials said the missing miners might have been able to reach airtight chambers stocked with food, water and enough oxygen for four days. But rescue teams checked one of two chambers nearby, and it was empty. The buildup of gases prevented them from reaching other chambers. On Tuesday, bulldozers carved an access road to make way for drilling crews, who planned to dig four shafts to vent methane, a highly combustible gas that accumulates naturally in coal mines, and carbon monoxide from the blast site about 1,000 feet beneath the surface. The digging could be done by midday Wednesday. Massey Energy Co.,

On Monday Prillaman’s uncle Benny Willingham, 61, was killed in an explosion at Massey Energy’s Upper Big Branch Coal Mine. which operated the Upper Big Branch mine, was fined more than $382,000 in the past year for repeated serious violations involving its ventilation plan and equipment. The company’s chief executive said the mine was not unsafe, but federal regulators planned to review its many violations. In an area where coal is king, people anxiously awaited word on the missing miners. One resident hung a “Praying 4 Our Miners” banner outside a home. At Libby’s City Grill in nearby Whitesville, the accident was the talk at every breakfast table. Owner James Scott was grieving his own loss — his 58-year-old uncle, Deward Scott of Montcoal, was among the dead. Neither his uncle nor his customers talked much about their work. “I never heard anyone say anything about the

mine, good or bad,” James Scott said. “You just don’t talk about it.” Diana Davis said her husband, Timmy Davis, 51, died in the explosion along with his nephews, Josh Napper, 27, and Cory Davis, 20. The elder Davis’ son, Timmy Davis Jr., described his father as passionate about the outdoors and the mines. “He loved to work underground,” the younger Davis said. “He loved that place.” Two other family members survived the blast, he said. At the time of the explosion, 61 miners were in the mine, about 30 miles south of Charleston. “Before you knew it, it was just like your ears stopped up. You couldn’t hear. And the next thing you know, it’s just like you’re just right in the middle of a tornado,” miner Steve Smith, who

heard the explosion but was able to escape, told ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Nine miners were leaving on a vehicle that takes them in and out of the mine’s long shaft when a crew ahead of them felt a blast of air and went back to investigate, said Kevin Stricklin, an administrator for the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration. The chief executive of Massey Energy, Don Blankenship, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that a carbon monoxide warning was the first sign of trouble. Mine crews were checking on the alarm when they discovered an explosion had occurred. “I don’t know that we know what happened,” Blankenship said. Some may have been killed by the blast and others when they inhaled the toxic gases, Stricklin said.

Top RNC activist, official quit amid Steele criticism WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid growing concern over Michael Steele’s stewardship of the Republican National Committee, a New Hampshire activist resigned his seat Tuesday, citing an “out-of-touch, free-spending culture of Washington” within the party. Meanwhile, a finance report that showed the RNC spent $982 at a Vermont winery for what it called “office supplies” — five cases of wine — was unlikely to calm the fretting. Committeeman Sean Mahoney, a New Hampshire businessman who is mulling a run for Congress in November, joined the chorus of criticism from activists and donors over lavish spending by the RNC. Mahoney was the latest person to cut ties with the committee; Steele’s top aide and one of his top outside advisers ended relationships with the committee Monday. Republican officials said it was unlikely Steele would depart the committee, and Steele himself vowed to remain.

victory for Comcast Corp., the nation’s largest cable company, which had challenged the FCC’s authority to impose such “network neutrality” obligations on broadband providers. Supporters of network neutrality, including the FCC chairman, have argued that the policy is necessary to prevent broadband providers from favoring or discriminating against certain Web sites and online services, such as Internet phone programs or software that runs in a Web browser. Advocates contend there is precedent: Nondiscrimination rules have traditionally applied to so-called “common carrier” networks that serve the public, from roads and highways to electrical grids and telephone lines.

Court rules for Comcast and against FCC WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal court threw the future of Internet regulations into doubt Tuesday with a far-reaching decision that went against the Federal Communications Commission and could even hamper the government’s plans to expand broadband access in the United States. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the FCC lacks authority to require broadband providers to give equal treatment to all Internet traffic flowing over their networks.

The evolution of two kid stars

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Get ready to meet Bridgit Mendler and Victoria Justice, the two biggest stars the world has never heard of — at least that segment of the planet that excludes anyone outside the ages of about 8 and 14. But among that increasingly coveted “tween� demographic, the one that made superstars of Miley Cyrus and Zac Efron, Justice and Mendler’s career arcs have been steadily rising for years. Mendler, as almost any kid with a TV knows, was the cute vampire who dated David Henrie’s socially inept wizard on “Wizards of Waverly Place.� Justice was the equally cute upstart rival to Jamie Lynn Spears on “Zoey 101.� Now the two 17-yearolds are getting their own Sunday night sitcoms, Justice in “Victorious,� which debuts at 8 p.m. EDT this weekend, and Mendler in “Good Luck Charlie,� which airs just a half hour later and had its debut last weekend. And if the past success of their respective networks’ star-making machinery is any indication (Disney for Mendler and Nickelodeon for Justice), both are poised to be kid TV’s next big thing. Mendler’s character on “Good Luck Charlie� is determined to video-

The show’s creator, Dan Schneider, says he began grooming the actress for just such a breakout role the moment he saw her audition to play second banana to Spears on “Zoey 101� nearly five years ago.

“You could tell from the first five seconds of the tape ... she was just meant to be in front of a camera,� said Schneider, creator of such hugely popular kid shows as “Drake and Josh� and “iCarly.� At rival Disney, the feeling was the same when a 14-year-old Mendler arrived to audition for “Sonny With a Chance.� The role would go to another tween idol, Demi Lovato, but Mendler wouldn’t go unnoticed. “Bridgit is a great example of ... us finding somebody, knowing that we wanted to do business with her and then waiting to find the perfect role,� said Gary Marsh, chief creative officer and president of entertainment for Disney Channels Worldwide.

There seems to be a wealth of TV tween stars at the moment, raising the question is there room for two more. The Jonas Brothers have their own eponymous show, Miranda Cosgrove has become nearly a household name on “iCarly� and so has Selena Gomez on “Wizards of Waverly Place,� their images plastered all over TV, on lunch boxes, backpacks, even the sides of buses. But that doesn’t mean networks like Disney and Nickelodeon can ever stop cranking out new kid stars, says media consultant Jonathan Taplin. The obvious reason: they grow up, as Cyrus, in her last year of “Hannah Montana,� is quickly doing. Some of them sometimes also cause embarrassment, as Spears did when she announced she was pregnant as the fourth season of “Zoey 101� was beginning. Or when a nude photo of Vanessa Hudgens surfaced on the Internet when she was starring opposite Efron in the “High School Musical� movies. “They have to have backup,� Taplin says of the networks. “It’s the farm team. You give someone a supporting role in a series and if they’re good they eventually get to be the star.�

Oprah Winfrey snags Rielle Hunter interview CHICAGO (AP) — Oprah Winfrey has landed the first televised interview with Rielle Hunter since former presidential candidate John Edwards first admitted two years ago that he had an affair with Hunter Hunter. Harpo Productions said Tuesday that Hunter will appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show on an unspecified date. GQ magazine last month published the first interview with Hunter in which she addressed the scandal. She told the magazine the affair ended in July 2008 and that the relationship is now something “different.� She didn’t say whether they are still romantically involved but said Edwards wants to be there for their 2-year-old daughter. Edwards admitted in January that he is the girl’s father after initially denying it. He and his wife, Elizabeth Edwards, are now separated.

‘Dancing’ leaps over ‘Idol’ in Nielsen ratings NEW YORK (AP) — For the first time in the history of the two long-running competitions, ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars� outdrew both editions of Fox’s “American Idol� last week. Meanwhile, the broadcast networks faced ratings disaster on April Fools’ Day that was no joke. The Nielsen Co. said Tuesday that nearly 23 million people watched “Dancing� a week ago. An estimated 21.8 million people watched “Idol� on Tuesday and 20.5 million on Wednesday, Nielsen said. “I chalk it up to the Gosselin effect,� said Don Seaman, a communications analyst for MPG America. Reality TV star Kate Gosselin is in the “Dancing With the Stars� cast this season. The ABC show has a particularly strong cast, including former “Baywatch� babe Pamela Anderson, astronaut Buzz Aldrin and Olympic gold medal figure skater Evan Lysacek. Producers have reduced the number of contestants this season, and that should enable fans to get to know them better, Seaman said.

Lawyer: Jon Gosselin to sue for custody ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Jon Gosselin plans to sue ex-wife Kate for primary custody of their eight children because her appearances on “Dancing With the Stars� have turned her into an absentee mom, a lawyer for the former reality show dad told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Jon Gosselin’s new lawyer, Anthony List, said he plans to file papers in Berks County Court in Pennsylvania this week to reopen their divorce settlement. List said that Kate Gosselin’s participation in the smash ABC dance competition show has taken her away from the children, and that she has delegated most child-rearing responsibilities to three nannies.

Obama calls nuke terrorism the top threat to U.S.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rewriting America’s nuclear strategy, the White House on Tuesday announced a fundamental shift that calls the spread of atomic weapons to rogue states or terrorists a worse threat than the nuclear Armageddon feared during the Cold War. The Obama administration is suddenly moving on multiple fronts with a goal of limiting the threat of a catastrophic international conflict, although it’s not

yet clear how far and how fast the rest of the world is ready to follow. In releasing the results of an in-depth nuclear strategy review, President Barack Obama said his administration would narrow the circumstances in which the U.S. might launch a nuclear strike, that it would forgo the development of new nuclear warheads and would seek even deeper reductions in American and Russian arsenals. His defense secretary,

Robert Gates, said the focus would now be on terror groups such as al-Qaida as well as North Korea’s nuclear buildup and Iran’s nuclear ambitions. “For the first time, preventing nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism is now at the top of America’s nuclear agenda,� Obama said, distancing his administration from the decades-long U.S. focus on arms competition with Russia and on the threat posed by nuclear missiles

on hair-trigger alert. “The greatest threat to U.S. and global security is no longer a nuclear exchange between nations, but nuclear terrorism by violent extremists and nuclear proliferation to an increasing number of states,� he said, spelling out the core theme of the new strategy. Obama’s announcement set the stage for his trip to Prague Thursday to sign a new arms reduction agreement with Russia. And it precedes a gathering in Washington next Monday of government leaders from more than 40 countries to discuss improving safeguards against terrorists acquiring nuclear bombs. In May, the White House will once again help lead the call for disarmament at the United Nations in New York during an inter-

Michael Mullen and Defense Secretary Robert Gates look on, at the Pentagon. national conference on strengthening the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Congressional Democrats hailed Tuesday’s announcement, but some Republicans said it could weaken the nation’s defense. Rep. Buck McKeon of

California, the top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, said the policy change could carry “clear consequences� for security and he was troubled by “some of the language and perceived signals imbedded� in the policy.

inute by minute, second by second, the NCAA title game got better and better. Then came the final four seconds — four ticks of the clock that produced one of the most dramatic finishes to one of the most memorable games college basketball has ever seen. “I’ve been fortunate enough to be in eight national championship games, and this was a classic,” said Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, who has won four of those games. “This was the toughest and the best one.” Butler had two chances to win it Monday night — one on a 15-foot fadeaway, another on a desperation halfcourt shot at the buzzer. Both shots clanked cruelly off the rim. Near misses. Duke held off the tiny Bulldogs 61-59, ending the small school’s search for the perfect, Hollywood ending. And though the sad, tired looks on the faces of the Butler players may not have told the story, when people look back on this magical night in sports — in a day, a year, a decade or more — it will be hard to say there really was a loser. “We came up one possession short in a game with about 145 possessions,” said Butler’s 33-year-old coach, Brad Stevens. “It’s hard to stomach when you’re on the wrong end of that.” Even before the game, there were signs that this could be a good one. The storylines were right. There was Butler, enrollment 4,200, the team that practices at the fieldhouse where “Hoosiers” was shot. The Bulldogs, playing six miles from campus, were on the verge of creating a sequel to the movie, based on real life, in which the tiny Indiana school goes against the big boys and comes out a winner.

DURHAM (AP) — The scene was almost perfect. The championship trophy was back. Fans had nearly packed Cameron Indoor Stadium to welcome the Blue Devils home after another national championship run. Even the arena’s scoreboards displayed Monday night’s final score. Only one thing was missing for Mike Krzyzewski. “It’s good to be home, it’s good to be in Cameron and it’s good to see that score,” the Hall of Fame coach told the crowd before gesturing to the rafters. “It’ll be even better to see a fourth banner up there.” About 9,000 fans greeted the team when it returned to campus Tuesday afternoon, less than 24 hours after the Blue Devils held off Butler 61-59 in Indianapolis to win the program’s fourth national title. That victory kicked off a long celebration on the Durham

Woods’ return comes during telecast

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Tiger Woods has an ideal tee time for his return to golf at the Masters — at least as far as TV is concerned. After weeks of speculation about his playing partners for the opening two rounds at Augusta National, the starting times released on Tuesday had more to do with

“when” than “who.” Woods is to tee off at 1:42 p.m., in the penultimate group for the second straight year. Barring any delays, his group likely will be on about the eighth hole when ESPN’s live coverage begins at 4 p.m. It will be the first time Woods has competed since a shocking sex scandal

began to unfold the day after Thanksgiving. Joining him for two days will be Matt Kuchar, a popular figure in these parts from his All-American days at Georgia Tech; and K.J. Choi of South Korea, which is sure to appeal to Augusta National’s broadcast partners in Asia.

INDIANAPOLIS — Mike Krzyzewski clipped the final piece of the net and gave it a kiss. Then he hoisted it skyward for all those Duke fans to savor. After claiming the fourth of his national championships, Coach K showed he still knows how to celebrate a title. With Duke’s 61-59 victory over Butler on Monday night, Krzyzewski moved past Bob Knight and into a tie with Adolph Rupp for second place on the all-time list. But just as he has throughout the postseason, he kept the emphasis on a different number: No. 1 — as in, the first championship for this current bunch of Blue Devils. “You’re asked more (about) this could be Duke’s fourth national championship, and all that,” Krzyzewski said. “We just shied away from talking about that Scheyer at all or try to think about it, and try to immerse ourselves in what these guys were doing. It’s much better. Like for me to think about being with them now is much better than thinking about the fourth national championship.” And Jon Scheyer, Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith simply wouldn’t be denied their first title and the first one for the school since 2001. Once again, the three stars did most of the heavy lifting — though they needed some timely help from the biggest player on the roster. “People have said we don’t have the first-team AllAmericans, this and that, but we have guys who do all the

SPORTS SCENE

Title-game loss does not deter celebration for underdog Butler INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The only thing missing was a championship trophy. Less than 24 hours after Gordon Hayward’s buzzerbeating shot bounced off the rim, Butler and its fans — new and old — partied inside Hinkle Fieldhouse as if the Bulldogs had won the national title. They didn’t win the final against Duke, but the Bulldogs won the hearts of this basketball-crazy state and captured the imagination of a nation that won’t soon forget Butler’s journey. “I think it gives all of us more hope,” said Mark Montgomery, a 46-yearold history teacher from Beckley, W. Va. “I’m a middle school football coach and I will refer back to this (team) when we talk about how the team concept wins.” It certainly felt like a victory party. Roughly 4,000 fans came to Hinkle and provided an atmosphere that was as festive as it was a week ago when the Bulldogs were still celebrating their first Final Four appearance. T-shirts at the bookstore were selling so fast that athletic department officials put up poles to organize the checkout line. Fans from West Virginia and Chicago, who had barely heard of Butler until two weeks ago, stopped by the fieldhouse

one last time to take a couple of more snapshots. Coach Brad Stevens taped an appearance for the “Late Show with David Letterman” from the free-throw line, and the Bulldogs even got a not-so-customary phone call from President Barack Obama. “I think his message was that he wasn’t just going to call the team that won today because of the way both teams played,” Stevens said. From the White House to Main Street, the Bulldogs opened eyes and turned heads. “I loved when Butler slayed Syracuse, and I think Duke had a cakewalk into the finals,” said Steve Boghossian, a 47-year-old surgeon from Chicago. “I think they captivated the hearts of people because they don’t talk a lot, they don’t like a lot of notoriety, they have a quiet calm about themselves and I think they were underestimated. Every game they played, they were supposed to lose.” Eventually Butler did lose, but not before the players and coaches went on the ride of their lives. Butler took down two of college basketball’s best programs, Syracuse and Michigan State, along with Kansas State, before barely losing to the bluest of the blue bloods, Duke.

Duke’s Smith wins a title for his father

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Nolan Smith did it for his dad. Thirty years after his late father won a national championship in this city, Nolan Smith and his Duke teammates took home their own title, beating Butler 61-59 on Monday night. Derek Smith was a sophomore forward on the Louisville team that beat UCLA 59-54 in 1980.

SPORTS BRIEFS McNabb starts ‘new chapter’ with Redskins

Continued from Page 1B

Strasburg taking hype in stride

campus, starting with thousands of students gathering around a bonfire on a quad near the Duke Chapel early Tuesday. The party was still going later in the afternoon with the team climbing onto a stage in Cameron in front of a banner reading “Welcome Home NCAA Champs!!!” The school had waited nine years for this title and hadn’t been to the Final Four since 2004, a drought by the program’s lofty standards that had some questioning whether Duke had slipped. But now the Blue Devils are celebrating just as they did when teams led by players like Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley, Grant Hill, Jason Williams and Shane Battier. “I’ve been doing this here at Duke for 30 years,”

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Washington Nationals phenom Stephen Strasburg is taking all the hype in stride. The 21-year-old righthander was the main attraction Tuesday during media day for Washington’s Double-A affiliate in Harrisburg. That’s where Strasburg will start his professional career. The No. 1 draft pick was the best starter for the Nationals in spring training and then sent to the minors for more seasoning. Strasburg says he’s been given no timetable on when he’ll get to the majors. Strasburg says he knows the focus will be on him, and that he’s just got to deal with the attention and keep things simple.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Donovan McNabb says he would have loved to finish his career with the Philadelphia Eagles, but it’s just something that didn’t happen. The six-time Pro Bowl quarterback was formally introduced Tuesday as the new quarterback of the Washington Redskins. Seeing McNabb hold up a No. 5 Redskins jersey after 11 years with the Eagles was odd sight, with McNabb saying he’s “starting a new chapter in the book of Donovan.” McNabb said he believes “in finishing what you started,” but he spoke in positive terms of his time in Philadelphia, even saying he hopes he’ll be cheered when he plays there with the Redskins this season.

Panthers sign Carter to be kickoff specialist

Donahue to take over at B.C.

Big 3

Continued from Page 1B

CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Carolina Panthers have signed kicker Todd Carter to take over the team’s vacant kickoff specialist role. Carter played at Grand Valley State from 200508 and converted 27 of 41 field goal attempts while also kicking off. He didn’t play in the NFL last season. Carter will likely replace Rhys Lloyd, who led the NFL in touchbacks with 30 in 2008 and had 21 last season. The Panthers decided not to give Lloyd a restricted free-agent tender of $1.1 million, and he signed with Minnesota. Carter will play for the rookie minimum of $325,000 after signing his deal Tuesday.

BOSTON (AP) — A Boston College official says Cornell coach Steve Donahue will take over as the Eagles’ new basketball coach. The official spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because Donahue’s hiring has not yet been announced. Donahue led Cornell to a 29-5 record this season and a third consecutive Ivy League title. The Big Red reached the regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament. Donahue will take over for Al Skinner, who was fired after 13 years in which he became the winningest coach in BC history.

little things,” Smith said. “We work so well together, and this team has done whatever it takes to get wins. We did that today.” Singler scored 19 points, Scheyer added 15 and Smith 13. All three made the all-tournament team, and Singler was selected the most outstanding player at the Final Four. But title No. 4 wasn’t secure until 7-foot-1 center Brian Zoubek got a hand in Gordon Hayward’s face on a missed shot with 7 seconds left, hit a free throw with 3.6 seconds to go and — after missing the second one on purpose — held his breath as Hayward’s half-court heave at the buzzer clipped

Krzyzewski said through a hoarse voice. “This is as good of a group of guys as I’ve coached here in 30 years.” The team arrived about an hour late, which allowed fans the chance to watch a replay of Monday night’s game on the scoreboard screens or shop for championship T-shirts. Their biggest cheers — until the team arrived, anyway — came when the screens showed live news coverage of the team arriving at nearby Raleigh-Durham International Airport and then taking the bus to campus. They waited in a nearby hallway for the replay of Gordon Hayward’s halfcourt shot to again bounce off the backboard, then carom off the rim and fall to the floor at the horn before walking on stage. “I know it took four years,” senior Lance Thom-

as said, “but four years is worth another banner.” The crowd of supporters included football coach David Cutcliffe and women’s basketball coach Joanne P. McCallie, while fans filled most of the upstairs level and packed a standingroom only area on the court at the base of the stage. Freshman Andre Dawkins carried the NCAA championship trophy and held it throughout the ceremony, while the players stood behind Krzyzewski as he addressed the crowd at the podium. “I’m so speechless right now,” said junior Nolan Smith, who teamed with fellow junior Kyle Singler and senior Jon Scheyer to form the high-scoring “Big Three” that led Duke’s offense. “It meant so much to me and my family to be a part of something special. Now we’re going to hang another banner in Cam-

eron. That’s what I came to Duke to do.” The crowd also took the opportunity to try and persuade Singler — the most outstanding player at the Final Four — to stick around for his final season instead of entering the NBA draft. “One more year!” they chanted when he came to the podium to speak. Singler didn’t respond to the chants. “I think for me and for you guys, just enjoy this and just have fun,” he told them. “That’s what we’ve been doing throughout the whole season.” As for Krzyzewski, he remained fixated on that soon-to-be added banner. “When you look up,” he said, “all of us would want you to say to yourself and to whomever you’re with: ’That’s when my team — our team — won the national championship.”’

off the glass and the rim. Once the Blue Devils exhaled, they were on top again. “I told the team right after the game when we were in the locker room I said you were good. I said you were really good. Then I said you were really good and had great character,” Krzyzewski said at the trophy presentation early Tuesday morning at the team’s hotel. “I was running out of things to say because I always wanted a carrot out in front of them. What you have before you is a great basketball team.” And there’s no doubting that the “Big Three” made it all possible. They had to. The Blue Devils (35-5) relied on them so heavily all season that there were moments during the cham-

pionship game when it seemed they might crumble under the weight of their teammates. The Singler-ScheyerSmith trio, the nation’s most productive threesome, entered averaging 53.4 points per game and had scored 69 percent of the Blue Devils’ points this season. So it was no surprise that Duke went to them down the stretch. With less than 5 minutes left and the Blue Devils leading by one, the ball was inbounded to Scheyer. He swung it to Smith, who found Singler cutting to the wing and passed to the junior sharpshooter. His jumper swished through to make it 58-55 with 4:46 left. That wound up being the final field goal of the season for the Blue Devils,

whose only three points the rest of the way came on free throws. “It really wasn’t about me shooting the ball,” Singler said. “It’s about the team, and we needed everyone in these last two games to get where we are right now.” Some more than others. Duke’s bench went scoreless against Butler, and managed only three shots, while the guys who do the dirty work — Zoubek and forward Lance Thomas — struggled inside for a while. The Bulldogs had outrebounded the Blue Devils by seven at halftime and threatened to become the first team in the tournament to hold a rebounding edge against the biggest team in Coach K’s three decades in Durham.

Oliver Purnell, shown in this file photo, was named the new head coach of DePaul on Tuesday. DePaul has hired Purnell hoping he can revive a once-proud program that has struggled in recent years.

DePaul hires Purnell to revive struggling program CHICAGO (AP) — Vowing to make DePaul “Chicago’s team� again, Clemson’s Oliver Purnell simply couldn’t resist the urge to restore a storied program and became the Blue Demons’ coach on Tuesday. He leaves behind a stunned school back in South Carolina — the Tigers clearly didn’t see this coming — while taking on the huge task at DePaul, which has one regular-season Big East win the past two years. “I think we’ve got a great opportunity to reestablish DePaul as Chicago’s team and hopefully get our share of Chicago guys,� Purnell said. It’s been awhile since DePaul was Chicago’s basketball team. It might help if the Blue Demons played on

campus rather than 15 miles away in Rosemont, Ill., but Purnell said a new arena was never discussed during his courtship and insisted the facilities in place are good enough for success. “DePaul belongs in the elite of college basketball,� Purnell said during his introductory news conference. “DePaul belongs in the elite of the Big East. DePaul belongs as Chicago’s college basketball team. The commitment is clearly there, the desire is clearly there to restore this program.� He replaces interim coach Tracy Webster, who took over after Jerry Wainwright was fired in midseason. DePaul did not disclose the terms of the contract, although several outlets reported the deal was for seven

There was Duke, the uber-successful team that much of America loves to hate — good this year, but not overwhelming, a team that made it every bit as far on grit as it did on raw talent. For 39 minutes, 56 seconds, nobody backed down. There were seven ties, 15 lead changes and, amazingly, neither team built a lead of more than six. Every possession was a struggle. Every point came at a price. Butler guards Ronald Nored and Willie Veasley made life hell on Duke’s outside players, Jon Scheyer and Nolan Smith. But Scheyer and Smith worked off picks, worked to get

open, and got their shots and their points. There was 3:16 left when Smith made two free throws to give Duke a 60-55 lead, which on this night, passed for a Grand Canyon-sized gap. The thought that Butler would pack it in, though — no way. Anybody who knew anything about the country’s most tenacious team — trying to become the smallest school to win the title since the tournament was expanded to 65 teams in 1985 — knew there was no quit in the Bulldogs. The teams traded steals and missed shots before Butler’s Gordon Hayward found teammate Matt Howard on a perfect bounce pass for a layup. 60-57. Smith missed a shot on Duke’s next possession. Butler came down and

Shelvin Mack missed a 3-pointer that would have tied the game, but Howard got the rebound and the put-back for another layup. 60-59. Duke’s Kyle Singler barely grazed the rim on the next possession and Butler got the rebound and worked the clock down to 13.6 seconds, then called a timeout. Butler’s best chance at winning came on a play that’s as simple as they come: Give the ball to your best player, Hayward, and let him create. He dribbled from the top of the key, spun and worked his way to the right baseline. He went up for a jumper, but with a hand in his face, he bent backward — off balance just enough to alter the shot. It hit hard off the far side of the rim.

years and $15 million. “His veteran experience is really important for what we’re trying to accomplish because not only are we looking to resonate with young kids, the guys that we’ll be recruiting, but we’ve also got to go in the Big East,� athletic director Jean Lenti Ponsetto said. “There are 18 games against some of the top coaches in the country.� Clemson AD Dr. Terry Don Phillips said during a news conference he was shocked by Purnell’s decision to leave. He said he learned of the move during a phone call from the coach at about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. “I’m not sure I know what to say,� Phillips said. “I’m in a little bit of shock. ... I’m as surprised as anyone.� OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK

BRIDGE HAND

Naked 9-year-old makes his sister’s life difficult DEAR ABBY: My brother is 9 and still walks around naked. I have asked “Josh” repeatedly to put on some clothes, but he blows me off and flaunts himself around the house. My mother is no help. When I ask her to talk to him, she laughs and says, “Boys will be boys.” Abby, I’m 13 and it is starting to freak me out. Am I being paranoid, or am I right to want him to put on a pair of boxers or something? — OLDER SISTER IN MCALLEN, TEXAS

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Don’t let family or friends upset you or cause you to miss an opportunity this year because you are stuck with other people’s problems. Deal with matters efficiently and without overspending. Sticking to a budget will make you attractive to someone who is considering offering you a position. Your numbers are 6, 17, 22, 25, 28, 30, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Sticking to the task at hand will prove you have what it takes to be a leader. Productivity will be your ticket to the next level. Set your sights on what you desire and you won’t be disappointed. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you have been too busy to enjoy life, you may want to finish what’s pressing and plan to take a little time out of your hectic schedule. You will lessen your stress and know what you should be doing in the future to make your life better. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Experiencing different philosophies or ways of doing things will help you decipher how you want to lead your life and do things in the future. You thrive on change and will find that, without it, you will become bored. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Tighten your money belt and refuse to let anyone stick you with an expense that doesn’t belong to you. Don’t fall for a fast-talking person who wants a donation. Concentrate more on your job and increasing your income. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sharing and caring will make a difference in reaching your goals. An even split is important if you don’t want to face problems or possible sabotage at a later date. Be precise when explaining what needs to be done. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make sure you have checked everything out

WORD JUMBLE

thoroughly before making a decision that will affect your future. There are plenty of opportunities that can add to your quality of life if you are willing to make a commitment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You have to take action if you want things to go your way. Expect opposition but don’t give in to pressure. You can make changes to your home or living conditions that will increase your emotional well-being. SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): Scale back and refrain from making unnecessary changes. You must not let emotional upset lead to an argument; the repercussions will affect your status or your lifestyle. You will make gains if you keep your life simple and within your means. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Stick to whatever rules and regulations are set and you will avoid trouble. An unexpected change will be due to overindulgence, overspending or overreacting. An ex-friend or companion is likely to cause trouble. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): The more time you spend making your home a place of comfort and entertainment, the closer your family will become. Take on a responsibility so you can control the situation. An investment you make now can make a big difference to your financial future. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Only take on what you know you can handle. No one can answer for you or do for you. You may not want to make the required changes to your life but, in the end, you will be happy you did. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20): You have to include practicality into your plans if you want them to fly. Anything that doesn’t go according to plan because you didn’t do efficient groundwork will be blamed on you. Functionality and adaptability will count.

DEAR OLDER SISTER: Your mother is right about one thing: Boys WILL be boys. Your brother is acting like an immature child who’s enjoying teasing his sister. On the other hand, she’s wrong to laugh off your discomfort. One reason children have parents is so someone can teach them respect for the feelings of others. At 9, Josh is too big to ignore, and at 13, you are no longer a little girl. If he wants to be naked in his bedroom, fine and dandy. But when he’s in the rooms shared by everyone, he should cover up. And if he doesn’t, there should be consequences. o DEAR ABBY: My ex-motherin-law died unexpectedly three weeks ago. We were very close, and I handled most of the arrangements. She left no will, so my ex-husband and I did our best to provide what we thought she

would have wanted. We chose to have Mom cremated, but decided to have a short open viewing at the funeral home for her grandchildren’s benefit. We wanted them to realize Grandma was no longer in her body. This morning I was shocked to receive a phone call from the funeral parlor saying they have received a letter from one of Mom’s co-workers, expressing that she felt the viewing was disrespectful and in bad taste. Abby, we chose to display her body on a table with blankets. We didn’t think spending hundreds of dollars for a coffin for the four-hour viewing was justified, nor did we think Mom would have wanted us to do that. Was it inappropriate? — SLAPPED IN THE FACE IN MONTANA DEAR SLAPPED IN THE FACE: There was nothing disrespectful or inappropriate about the way your ex-mother-in-law’s body was displayed. And you were wise not

o DEAR ABBY: I work for a nonprofit organization, and once a month we convene early in the morning for a staff meeting. To make up for the fact that we are meeting earlier than usual, departments take turns providing breakfast. This has turned into a contest to see who can bring the most elaborate breakfast. Frankly, it’s all I can do to get breakfast on the table for my own family without the added pressure of having to provide something for my “work family.” The one-upmanship and back-stabbing is bad enough without having to become Martha Stewart in the process. Please comment. — EGGS-ASPERATED IN NEW YORK DEAR EGGS-ASPERATED: I can see how something like that could get out of hand. Someone must break the cycle -- so why not you? When your department’s turn rolls around, either order something you can pick up the night before or the morning of the meeting, or bring in fruit, granola and yogurt so your colleagues can have a healthy breakfast. And don’t apologize for it.

Errant text to police leads to 3 NY drug arrests

Women arrested in UK for taking corpse onto plane

PINE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — An errant text message is costing three New York drug-dealing suspects dearly. Police say the suspects made a mistake when trying to text a potential buyer and instead reached a task force agent in Dutchess County, about 50 miles north of New York City. The three were arrested after arranging a meeting with the agent, who pretended to be the buyer. Police say they recovered 60 bags of heroin. Task force Sgt. Brett Orlich says, “Their bad luck is our good luck.”

LONDON (AP) — Police have arrested two women at an British airport after they reportedly tried to smuggle a corpse onto a flight. Police said Tuesday the women were detained at Liverpool’s John Lennon airport “on suspicion of failing to give notification of death” of a 91-year-old man. The BBC and other British media reported that the women placed the man, a relative of theirs, into a wheelchair and covered his face with sunglasses in a bid to get him aboard a flight to Berlin. The women, aged 41 and 66, were detained Saturday and have been released on bail.

Alaska bar takes in smaller-than-usual fake bills JUNEAU, Alaska — Police in Alaska say lawbreakers must be really getting desperate because someone left 13 fake $1 bills in a bar’s tip jar — an unusually small denomination for the crime. Viking Lounge owner Jack Tripp says that in the 19 years he has owned the establishment, it has received counterfeit money only twice. Both times were in the last year, and both were fake $20 bills. Juneau Police Department spokeswoman Cindee Brown-Mills says the latest fake bills were probably printed off the Internet. Some were blank on one side. She says the economy must be really bad if people are counterfeiting $1 bills. Tripp reimbursed his employees their $13 in tips — with real money.

Robber locks bank workers in vault, leaves package ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) — A gunman locked bank employees in a vault in Elkhart Lake and left behind a package with flashing lights before stealing cash, while the bank manager unknowingly went about her business. Police Chief Randy Boeldt said the man, disguised with a wig and fake mustache and beard, entered the National Exchange Bank & Trust Thursday and ordered three tellers into the vault where he locked them behind a gate and told them it was no April Fools joke. Boeldt said the man left a box with flashing lights near the vault and told the tellers they would be electrocuted if they left before the lights stopped flashing. See answer, page 2A

God should be at the heart of all Q: All my life I’ve heard the expression, “God helps those who help themselves,” and I think our society would be a lot better off if people practiced it by working harder. Where is it found in the Bible? -- Mrs. S.L.K. A: This phrase actually isn’t found in the Bible, and while it is right up to a point, it isn’t entirely accurate in light of the Bible’s teaching. Let me explain. On one hand, you are right: People need to work and be responsible for their actions, and when they aren’t, society suffers (as do they). God didn’t intend for us to spend our lives pursuing pleasure or ease; He gave us work to do, and even ordinary tasks are important when they are done for Him. The Bible says, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might” (Ecclesiastes 9:10). When we do that, God will bless our labors. But on the other hand, we are dependent on God for everything -- even the next breath we take. It’s easy to forget this and think that we’re strong enough to do everything we want to do -- but we aren’t. We need to depend on God, and He should be at the heart of everything we do. The Bible says that He “is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us” (Ephesians 3:20). Never forget, however, that no matter how hard we work, we can never win God’s favor or save ourselves by our own efforts. We need Christ, because even our best efforts are tainted by sin.

The Jordan-Matthews High School drama and band departments put on “Cliques: A Stereotypical Musical Revue� last month.

Jordan-Matthews holds a different kind of musical

Submitted photo

The second grade classes at B.T. Bullock performed the musical “BUGZ� on March 16. The lively performance was directed by the second grade teachers and by the music teacher, Mrs. Donna Phillips.

PITTSBORO — When Jordan-Matthews chorus and drama teacher Matt Fry and band director Mark Dillon started looking for a show to follow last year’s “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,â€? they had trouble finding just the right mix of fun, familiar songs along with costumes and a set that would not break the budget of the young theatre program. “We considered a classic Broadway musical revue like “Smokey Joe’s CafĂŠâ€? but we were afraid the setting and songs might not speak to our students,â€? said Dillon. “And then we thought ‘Hey, let’s put together our own show!’â€? That’s how “Cliques: A Stereotypical Musical Revueâ€? came to be. With a script by Jordan-Matthews media specialist Rose Pate, the hour-long show, performed in late March,

featured a cast of characters familiar to anyone who has attended high school. Characters include The Jock, The Geek and The Fashionista, as well as plenty more teens the audience will recognize. “Finding a group where you fit in is a part of the high school experience everyone can identify with,� said Pate. “But the real point of the show is what can happen to relationships when people manage to get beyond the stereotypes.� “Cliques� featured almost a dozen entertaining Broadway numbers from a huge range of shows, spanning the decades from “Oklahoma� to “Rent� and Wicked.� But the situations the characters find themselves in are more geared to high school drama than that of Broadway. The teens have been asked to participate in a research study led by a nosy, neurotic graduate student played by junior Chelsea Greenhaw, and they let her know how they feel about their lives in songs. The show even follows one of the latest Broadway trends: having the musicians in the show. The Jordan-Matthews Jazz Band, directed by Dillon, is providing the accompaniment from right on stage. “How to work the musicians into the show? Have the researcher find she’s sharing a room with the band during after school practice,� said Dillon.

I don’t necessarily miss living in this state, but I sorely miss all of the things that go along with it.

While the house that my parents live in now isn’t the house that I grew up in; in fact, I have never even lived in this house; it is amazing to me how it is still such a nostalgic place for me. Though this never was technically my home, I feel as though I am home the minute I walk through the door. I am not sure if it is just being with my parents, or having all of the familiar furniture and decorations from my childhood around me, or just something about being together with the people that mean most to me. It makes me think about the fact that home isn’t so much about a physical place, but about the people, the memories, and the emotions that surround us.

t’s not every day a best-selling author comes to Sanford, so I was surprised to hear that Beverly Lewis, a national best-selling writer and the creator of the genre of Amish fiction, is coming on April 9, to sign books and meet readers at The Carpenter’s Shop in Tramway. I was excited at the prospect of meeting Lewis, but that excitement doubled when I was offered the chance to interview her in anticipation of the book signing and on the heels of the release of her newest book, “The Telling.” I had the opportunity to speak with the author last week and was able to gain some insight into her life and work. Through the interview we discussed her journey into writing, her interest in the Amish way of life, the impact of her faith on her work, and what she hopes her readers will take from this newest series, “Seasons of Grace.” According to Lewis, she “got the writing bug” early on. She started writing at about the age of nine, but hid her stories and only allowed her mother and

NYC study: 50 native plants disappearing By DAVID B. CARUSO

Stephanie Romelczyk

Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — Oriental Bittersweet was an exotic foreigner still found mostly in East Asia when the New York Botanical Garden planted its first specimen in 1897. Today, it is everywhere. The shrubby vine is common in woodlands and fields in 21 states, ranging from North Carolina, to Maine, to Illinois. The American Bittersweet, meanwhile, has been in a slow decline. Once common across the eastern two-thirds of the U.S., the native version of the plant still is around, but it has vanished from many areas now dominated by its hardier, faster-breeding Asian cousin. “We go entire seasons now without seeing it,” said Gerry Moore, director of the science department at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The rise and fall of the two plants has been chronicled by the Botanic Garden as part of a 20-year study that offers a dispiriting outlook on the future of some native flora. So far, the project has identified 50 native species that have disappeared from metropolitan New York during the last 100 years, and others that have become far less abundant due to factors including the destruction of their habitat, pollution and competition from foreign interlopers. In some areas, the landscape is also becoming less biologically diverse. “While you used to have a marsh of 50 or 60 species, you might now have an entire marsh of phragmites, the common reed,” Moore said. The study focused on counties within 50 miles of New York City, but experts say

Road to literacy starts early

I

f you have young children at home, now is a great time for them to get a head start on developing early reading skills. Learning to read starts at home with parents playing a crucial role in language and reading development. You may not have realized it, but when your child was just an infant, you were preparing him or her to learn sounds, letters and words. Once children learn these basics, they gradually become able to make the connection to put them all together. Here are some ways that you can continue to lay the groundwork for language and reading development. Encourage your child to use language to express feelings, needs and objects. In order to grasp reading skills, your child must have a strong command of language. Make efforts to keep conversations going about the things your child sees, does and feels. This will help your child make sense of his or her emotions and the activities around him or her. Similarly, books also help children make sense of their experiences. Read aloud to your child. Of course, you have been doing this since birth, so keep it up! Having lots of books at home shows that reading

transportation, and we have yet to see the full effect of that.” “It took 170 million years for the continents to drift apart, but only 400 years to move them all back together,” he said. “I describe this as Darwin on steroids, and we are going to see extremely fast changes because of it.” Climate change and pollution may only worsen the problem, as they make the habitat of many native plants less hospitable, said Peter Raven, president of the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis. “Obviously the loss of wild areas and their reduction in size makes it harder for natives to persist. As global warming proceeds, it will get worse,” he said. The problem is one that has attracted attention both in the U.S. and globally. The Nature Conservancy, a leading environmental group, has persuaded some major home and garden retailers to stop selling invasive trees like the Norway maple and Lombardy poplar in regions. It also has been working with researchers and government regulators on developing models that might predict when a nonnative plant might have the potential to become dangerously invasive, if imported into the U.S. Several states have established advisory committees on inva-

sive species and a few have banned the sale of plants like the Purple Loosestrife and the Japanese barberry, both of which came over the late 1800s and are now out-competing native flora. The U.S. Coast Guard has been working on draft regulations for ballast water, aimed at preventing ships from picking up invasive aquatic organisms on foreign coasts and bringing them into North American waters. Any changes will come too late to prevent some of the native losses identified by Brooklyn Botanic Garden researchers. Their comprehensive and ongoing survey has found that wildflowers such as the Scarlet Indian Paintbrush, pennywort, Sidebells wintergreen and the Sundial lupine have all seriously declined in the region At the same time, camphor weed, one found only in the South, has become common throughout the metropolitan area. “There is still a lot of native diversity out there, but this is an alarm,” said Troy Weldy, director of ecological management for the Eastern New York chapter of the Nature Conservancy, and co-author of the New York Flora Atlas. Species shift due to globalization, he said, “could turn out to be much more of a threat than climate change.”

with mix and gently firm the top. Some vegetables will do well if directly seeded, some will do better if you use transplants. When selecting transplants, look for plants that are stocky, medium green, and have a good root system. You may need to provide support to some vegetables. Be prepared to trellis peas, pole beans, and cucumbers. Tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers may all need cages. When growing in containers, you will need to keep a close eye on your plants. They will require about one inch of water per week. In the summer, when it is hot and plants are large, this may mean watering every day. You will also need to provide fertilizer, either in a slow-release or soluble form, on a regular schedule. Place your containers on a level surface where plants will receive 8-10

hours of sunlight per day. Some leafy greens and cool-season crops can tolerate a minimum of six hours. Keep containers near a water source for easy maintenance. Container vegetables are great for growing food in small places. Place them near the house so you will have produce close to where you prepare it.

is important to your family. Exaggerate and add emotion to your words when reading to your child. Read “predictable” books with your children. Predictable books are those that are familiar to your child, such that they can finish a sentence that you start. The ability to finish out your sentence will help your child feel comfortable and relaxed with reading. Encourage hearing and playing with the sounds of language. Does your child love to chant, sing phrases and rhymes? This type of playing with language is actually shaping your child’s literacy development. You can play “name that sound” or “what sound is that” games with your child. When reading to your child, have the child find all the objects on a page that start with “s”. Have play letters handy in case your child is curious

rial that will be easy to move when filled with soil. Containers can be ornate or inexpensive. You can use everyday objects such as five-gallon buckets, tires, crates, and half whiskey barrels. The most important thing to look for in a container is drainage holes. Do not buy a container without them (unless you are going to drill them yourself ). Although I said container gardening is relatively inexpensive, the one place you do not want to skimp is with

about what a word looks like that they hear. Expose your child to writing. Any involvement your children have in writing letters or sending cards can be very beneficial in developing their language skills. Children love to participate in sending and receiving mail. Keep paper and writing utensils available at all times. Your child’s scribbles will develop into more organized marks and will eventually become letters and words. Help your child observe signs and labels such as a stop sign. What does the “stop” sign mean? Last, but not least, MAKE READING FUN! Choose books about things your child has an interest in. Help your child “act out“ what is happening in the book. It may also help if you use obvious facial expressions and emotions to help your child understand what some unfamiliar words mean. The road to literacy does not start at preschool, day care or kindergarten. It starts at home and from birth. The time you spend encouraging language and reading development with your child from birth all the way through high school graduation will greatly influence their literacy success.

the potting media. The potting media supplies roots with nutrients, water and air, allows for maximum root growth, and physically supports the plant. Purchase a soil-less potting mix from a garden supply store. Do not use the soil from your backyard. Even the best soils in Lee County contain diseases, weeds, and insects. Soil-less mix is sterile, loose, light and drains freely. What do you do with old potting mix? You can reuse potting mix if the

to Europe. Kudzu, which hails from Japan and China, infested the South after farmers in the 1930s through the 1950s were encouraged to use it to stop soil erosion. Even the pristine open spaces of Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming are now populated with Houndstongue and Yellow Toadflax, both from Europe. Bit by bit, scientists say, the American landscape is becoming less American. “We are going to our national parks now and seeing Europe,” said Tom Stohlgren, a research ecologist for the U.S. Geological Survey. “We are homogenizing the globe at a very fast rate.” Experts say the trend has many causes, but the biggest one may turn out to be globalization. European traders and settlers have been bringing Old World plants to the Americas since colonization, but the process has accelerated with every advance in travel. Now, foreign species arrive so frequently aboard planes, trucks and cargo ships that the odds of the next Oriental Bittersweet arriving are exponentially greater. “That’s the scary part, and the $64,000 question,” Stohlgren said. “What we have had is an explosion in trade and plants did not exhibit disease symptoms the previous year. You will probably need to apply more fertilizer since there will be fewer nutrients available to the plants. If you do not want to reuse the mix, dump it in the woods or incorporate it into your garden. You can plant almost any vegetable in containers. Corn, okra, melons, and cucumbers may need more space than containers can provide. Be sure to use vegetables that will thrive in the current growing season. Look for cultivars that are described as bush or dwarf; these will fit in containers better. You can add color and interest with flowers and herbs incorporated into the container. This way you will have a container that is both edible and beautiful. Do not add gravel to your container since gravel will add weight and decrease drainage. Fill the container ¾ full

COOKING ON DEADLINE

Happy 150th birthday. Or is it?

Easy mac-n-cheese you won’t feel bad about serving

LEEDS, England (AP) — Britain has plenty of venerable institutions, but none so tasty as fish and chips. It’s a simple dish, usually a hunk of golden brown cod or haddock served with thickly cut strips of potatoes sprinkled with salt and vinegar. Despite that simplicity, the dish has become an icon of British culture. This year, fish and chips is celebrating its 150th birthday. Or is it? That date is according to the National Federation of Fish Friers, which represents about 8,500 fish and chip shop owners in Britain. Yet there are competing stories about when the dish was first created, and the exact origins are lost to time. One story is that an entrepreneur named John Lees started selling fish and chips in 1863 out of a wooden hut in Mossley, near Manchester, before moving to a permanent location nearby. In his new digs, so the story goes, he hung a sign in the window proclaiming, “This is the First Fish and Chip Shop in the world.� But Douglas Roxburgh, president of the national federation, said his group can date the dish to 1860. That’s when, according to lore, the Malin family in London, who worked as rug weavers, started frying chips in their home. Thirteenyear-old Joseph Malin came up with the idea of combining them with battered fried fish to sell on the streets of London’s impoverished East End. If you look at the components of the dish — fish minus chips, for

Arthur Parrington is seen with his freshly cooked chips during a private class on preparing fish and chips at the National Federation of Fish Friers headquarters in Leeds, England. This year, Britain’s venerable gastronomic institution — the humble fish and chips — celebrates its 150th birthday. Or does it? Turns out there are competing stories as to the origins of the dish. example — the origins go back further. Charles Dickens wrote in Oliver Twist, published serially from 1837 to 1839, about “fried fish warehouses,� where the fish generally were sold with big hunks of bread or baked potatoes. Fried fish itself was brought to Britain and northern Europe by Sephardic Jewish refugees from Spain and Portugal in the 17th century. Thomas Jefferson wrote in a letter that he ate “fish fried in the Jewish fashion� while visiting London in the late 1700s. As for chips, legend has it that a housewife who was either in Belgium or France, depending on whom you believe, cut up some potatoes in the shape of fish to fry when she couldn’t get her hands on any real fish. So long as the fish and chips are tasty and fried, perhaps it doesn’t matter. Roxburgh cites a recent survey that asked people to name things

they thought were typically British. At the top of the list, edging out the queen, was fish and chips. In fact, the dish is such a vital part of the culture that to keep up morale during World War II, it was one of the few foods the government didn’t ration, Roxburgh says. It’s still one of the most popular takeout foods in the UK, with about 10,500 “chippies� employing 60,000 people and selling nearly 276 million fish and chip meals a year. That’s the history. But what about the reality? How hard could it be to fry up some fish and potatoes? Harder than you might think. Just ask staff and students at the federation’s headquarters in Leeds in northern England, where aspiring owners of fish and chips shops can learn the tricks of the trade during a three-day course at a cost of $1,000. Students are taught how to debone cod fillets

before slicing them into 5-ounce pieces. They learn how to peel 15 pounds of potatoes in 2 minutes using a “rumbler� — think of a small top-loading washing machine lined with sandpaper-like abrasive. And they learn to use another machine that slices them up in 30 seconds. “There’s so much more than just chucking a piece of fish into a bit of fat and hoping for the best. There’s an art to it,� said student Barrie Richards, who’s in the process of buying a “chippy.� Instructor Mark Drummond demonstrates how to batter and fry a piece of cod on a traditional frying range. He submerges it into the mixture and lifts it out, pausing to touch the bottom tip to the side of the metal container to let the excess dribble off, before lowering it into the vat of boiling, sizzling oil. He lets it go with a gentle, outward motion so it floats away from the middle, freeing up space for more fish.

A great mac and cheese can be easy. And healthy. The secret? Wholewheat pasta shells and a can of squash or pumpkin puree. The latter ingredient may sound odd, but it really is an easy way to add vitamin-packed produce to a dish otherwise devoid of vegetables. The creme fraiche (you could substitute sour cream, even low-fat sour cream) and Parmesan cheese lend wonderfully creamy and savory flavors that make the pumpkin seem like a natural for the sauce. A bit of crisped prosciutto also adds tons of flavor. It’s a smart choice over bacon for a healthier dish. And if you fear wholegrain pastas, get over it. The varieties on the market today are vastly better than even just five years ago. And the sauce in this recipe is robust enough to mask any wheatiness. This dish still can’t claim to be health food, but it is jammed with whole grains, fiber and produce.

them. I was astounded by how happy they seemed living in their tent cities after their homes were destroyed. While they didn’t have any of the physical items that were part of their home, they had the people that they cared about and the spirit of home in their hearts. Home can be wherever you need it to be, as long as you have the people and the memories along with you. Of course, home for me is just as much about the food from my childhood as anything else. I love being at home and cooking with my Mom — and being spoiled with all of the deliciousness that she prepares for us. While basking in the unheard of warmth for this time of year in Rochester, N.Y., I flipped through my Mom’s recipes and came across this one for Creamsicle Pie. A treat like this is almost as perfect as the treat of being at home. And just like all of my memories of this week with my family, the next time I am feeling a little homesick, I can pull

Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium, heat the olive oil. Add the prosciutto and cook until just crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the pumpkin, creme fraiche, hot sauce, cumin and Parmesan. Cook, stirring often, until hot. Add the pasta to the sauce and toss well to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: Can you offer some tips on how seniors can guard against 2010 census scams? I’ve heard that there are a lot of potential scams going on and I want to protect myself. — SUSPICIOUS SENIOR Dear Suspicious, Unfortunately, scams have become a persistent problem when the U.S. Census Bureau does its once-a-decade count of the U.S. population. Here’s what you should know.

Fill out your census In mid-March, nearly every U.S. household received a 2010 Census form in the mail. If you haven’t already done so, you need to answer the 10 questions (it only takes a few minutes) and mail the form back in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you did not receive your census form or if you’ve misplaced it, call the census questionnaire assistance center (866-872-6868) by April 21 and they will mail you another one.

Watch for scams While census participation is very important and required by law, you also need to be vigilant of census-linked scams. This is especially impor-

tant for seniors who tend to be prime targets. The Better Business Bureau warns against e-mail scams as well as con artist masquerading as census workers who will try to solicit your personal financial information. Here are some tips that will help you recognize a census scam and what you can do to protect yourself.

Guard your info Don’t give out your personal or financial information. The Census Bureau or a legitimate census worker will never ask for your Social Security number or any information regarding credit cards, banks or financial accounts. Nor will they ask for money or a donation. If you’re

Check worker’s ID If you don’t mail in your completed census form, a census taker will visit your home sometime between May and July to fill out the questionnaire for you. A legitimate census taker must present an identification badge that contains a Department of Commerce watermark and expiration date. The taker will also carry a hand-held device that’s used to take your information, a canvas census bag and a confidentiality notice. Ask to see a photo ID and their badge before answering any questions. However, you should never invite anyone you don’t know into your home. The census taker will only ask you the questions that appear on the questionnaire — your name, gender, age, race, ethnicity, type of residence and number of people living with you. They will not ask for sensitive personal information, such as your Social Security or credit card number. If you don’t trust their ID, close the door

and call your regional or local census office to verify that person is an actual census worker.

Avoid phony e-mails The Census Bureau is not conducting any part of the census on the Internet, nor will it send e-mails regarding the census. So ignore any e-mails that direct you to a census-related Web site. No matter how legitimate the e-mail and Web site look, it’s a scam looking to acquire your Social Security number or other private financial information. And, don’t reply to the e-mail or open any attachment. Attachments could contain viruses that could infect your computer. Forward the email or Web site address to the Census Bureau at itso.fraud.reporting@ census.gov. Then delete the message.

Author Continued from Page 1C

Amish was the discontinuity she saw between the media’s representation of the People and how they actually carried out their lives. She started researching, actually spent some time living among the Amish, and ended up with an abundance of source material, which provided for not only her first series, but her second one as well. In all, Lewis has written seven series for adults, all set within Amish culture. After talking about the influence Amish life had on Lewis’s writing, our conversation turned to the other hallmark of her work: the message of faith that is woven seamlessly through each story. When

asked about her religious background and how that has influenced her writing, she responded that faith has always been her way of life. She grew up watching the way her parents reached out to other people; her father was a minister and her family was always missions-oriented and generous. Lewis and her sister reflected the values they “absorbed at a young age” as they got older, and have lived out their faith ever since. She said that her faith is “part of the fabric of [her] life” and that it would only make sense that it would play a big role in her characters’ lives as well; from those first stories—tucked away in dresser drawers for no one to see—to this newest series, faith-based themes can be found in all of Lewis’s work. I asked Lewis what she

wanted her readers to take away from her latest series, Seasons of Grace, and particularly from the last book, “The Telling.” She said that this series is all about what can happen when secrets and past discretions are hidden from the people we love. Through the various scenarios and relationships in the books, Lewis wanted to show what it means to truly forgive. In one sense, she took the concepts of grace and forgiveness directly from the Amish community; she referenced the Amish school shooting of 2006, and how people were astonished to see the Bishop of that particular community lead the way in forgiving the man who had killed the students. According to Lewis, Amish people take scripture literally and truly embrace the ideas of the Jesus in the New Testament when He says that we can be forgiven only when we forgive others. She wanted to display that same type of mercy in her characters, namely Judah, who she points to as a wonderful picture of forgiveness, and Grace, who becomes a role model and the very definition of her name by the end of the story. Lewis’s desire to reflect the honest simplicity of Amish life and to provide readers with a picture of grace is truly evident in this latest series, and it was a wonderful experience to get to speak with her, and hear firsthand about what goes into her work. I look forward to her visit to Sanford this week, and to reading more of her work in the future.

BOOK REVIEW

‘The Telling’ a fitting end to Lewis’ series “The Telling.” (Bethany House, 2010. 336 pages. $14.99. By Beverly Lewis.) For thousands of years people have used stories to escape reality and spend time with characters from another way of life or place in time. Even before books, when narratives were conveyed through the age-old tradition of storytelling, listeners would be caught up in tales of bravery or love, and, for just a few moments, be removed from the monotony or uncertainty of their everyday lives. Today’s readers are just as eager to sink into a good book and get lost in the story; escaping into a new landscape for a few hours is often the perfect way to relax at the end of a complicated and busy day. There is also something about exploring unfamiliar ideas and places that tends to shed light on our own circumstances and make us more aware of what we face every day. Author Beverly Lewis provides readers with not only entertaining and inspiring fiction, but also a window into a world removed from our own that is still within the timeframe of present day. She is known for creating the “Amish Fiction” genre and writes stories set in the Amish country of Lancaster County. For more than a decade, readers have been fascinated with the simplicity of life that she depicts in her novels and find peace from the stories that reflect the ideals and values of the Plain way of life. Lewis’s newest series, Seasons of Grace, is no exception; while reading the series I was pleasantly ensconced in the Amish community of Bird-inHand, and drawn into the story by the endearing characters. It begins with Grace Byler, a young Amish woman who works hard to help her family and love her parents who have become increasingly difficult to read. Her mother Lettie seems to harbor a secret grief and it has caused a strain

in the family, which only deepens when Lettie leaves, with no warning and no word of where she’s going or when she will return. Grace struggles to maintain the home and shield her family from the speculation of the rest of the community, while at the same time wrestling with her own questions and doubts about her mother and hope for her future. Through the series, we see Grace meet and get to know an “Englisher,” named Heather, who has escaped to Bird-in-Hand on the heels of a serious diagnosis in search of peace and a new way of healing. Heather’s eyes become our own as she explores the Amish way of life and discovers the love and grace that the people show to one another in the community. In “Seasons of Grace,” Lewis references many people who are curious about the Amish or who have escaped to Amish country to find the peace and simplicity they lack in their own lives, in the same way readers turn to fiction to find refuge, peace, or inspiration. For Heather, and people like her, it is ultimately the values that the Amish display—mercy, forgiveness, truth, hard work—that become the inspiration they take back to their busy lives. “The Telling,” the final book of the series, is a wonderful conclusion to the story of the Byler family and a beautiful picture of the forgiveness that Christ has offered to everyone. Lewis gives readers a model for how a family can deal with deception and reconciliation as secrets are revealed and relationships tested in the book. I thoroughly enjoyed this excursion into Lancaster County through the stories of Grace and Heather. The series was aptly named “Seasons of Grace,” because, while it is the story of Grace and her family and all that they go through, it is also a depiction of grace — the undeserved mercy that we receive from God — at work in almost every aspect of the characters’ lives. — By Hannah Paschal
