Today is Tuesday, April 13, the 103rd day of 2010. There are 262 days left in the year. This day in history: On April 13, 1743, the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, was born in Shadwell, Va. In 1598, King Henry IV of France endorsed the Edict of Nantes, which granted rights to the Protestant Huguenots. The edict was abrogated in 1685 by King Louis XIV, who declared France entirely Catholic again. In 1860, the Pony Express completed its inaugural run from St. Joseph, Mo., to Sacramento, Calif., in 10 days. In 1870, the Metropolitan Museum of Art was incorporated in New York. The original museum opened in 1872. In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the Jefferson Memorial. In 1958, American Van Cliburn, 23, won the first International Tchaikovsky Competition for piano in Moscow; Russian Valery Klimov won the violin competition. In 1960, the U.S. Navy’s Transit 1B navigational satellite was successfully launched into orbit. In 1970, Apollo 13, four-fifths of the way to the moon, was crippled when a tank containing liquid oxygen burst. The astronauts managed to return safely. In 1986, Pope John Paul II visited the Great Synagogue of Rome in the first recorded papal visit to a Jewish house of worship. In 1992, the Great Chicago Flood took place as the city’s century-old tunnel system and adjacent basements filled with water from the Chicago River.

Forum Continued from Page 1A

budget priorities and how they’d grade the school system during the two-hour event, the final scheduled forum for the candidates before early voting, which begins Thursday. Of all the topics, the dropout rate and graduation rate at Lee County Schools was brought up most often. “I don’t see how we cannot consider this an important measure in the success of our schools,” said Gurwitch. Reaching children in fourth grade is key to catching those at risk, added Smith; while Atkins said she believes kindergarten is the place to identify which children have which strengths and catch them at an early age. Akinosho said he’d like to see LCS help children to achieve the high academic standard that they need to compete in the 21st century. An area where the candidates agreed across the board was transparency and parental involvement. “It’s an overview, and you need more than just an overview,” Lilley said of board and committee meeting minutes released to the public. “Every dollar we spend needs to be in the classroom.” Bonardi and Mangum mentioned communication issues between parents and the schools and said they’d like see something done about that. Atkins said she’d like to see town hall-style meetings to encourage parent involvement with the district. “As long as parents feel that they’re being heard I think they’ll feel better about the school system,” she said. Smith and Mangum said they were interested in expanding the kindergarten through second grade enrichment program.

Lee County Board of Education member Ellen Mangum answers a question. kids to go when they’re done,” she said. Middle and high schools need to be created as those children move on. Akinosho agreed and said more children need to be involved in year-round schooling. Bonardi said there was an attempt to make SanLee a year-round school but after surveys were sent to parents, it seemed there wasn’t enough interest. “I am an advocate of year-round schools but I am an advocate of choice,” he said. “Parental choice is what it comes down to.”

GRADING THE SYSTEM When asked to give the school system a letter grade, Lilley and Gurwitch each gave LCS a D. “That’s what our graduation rate is and that’s a perfect example,” Lilley said. “We have failed over and over again,” Gurwitch said. Atkins and Bonardi gave the district a B . Atkins mentioned that some school programs were pulled too quickly or staff were let go too quickly when cuts were made last year. “We have great staff. They work hard and

they’re dedicated,” Bonardi said. “Obviously, we want to give them the tools that they need but there are budget constraints.” Mangum and Smith attacked the D grade and said it wasn’t fair to teachers. “There are so many factors that go into a school system,” Mangum said. “We can’t just look at the dropout rate.” She added that the D grade was “a slap in the face” to teachers. “That’s very discouraging. I think we’re doing well. I think we can do a lot better,” she said. Smith agreed, mentioning that “to give our school system a D, that is a put down.” Akinosho gave LCS a C. “We are mediocre at best,” he said. Gurwitch and Lilley defended the grades they gave and said it wasn’t an attack on the teachers. “D as rated is not aimed at my teachers,” Lilley said. “It’s aimed at the board...We’re not pushing enough.” Bonardi disagreed and said the board shouldn’t take all of the blame. “Teachers teach... the board of education is a

governing board,” he said. “You talk about setting the standard high. It is high; that’s why not all of the students are meeting it. To say the teachers are doing well and then complaining about the graduation rate and put it on the board is misrepresenting.”

BUDGET APPROACH Keeping a watchful eye on the line items were the popular answers for the candidates involving their budgetary approach if elected. “I really want to see each line item to clearly define where that tax dollar is being spent,” Lilley said. “I want it spent in the classroom first.” Gurwitch and Akinosho used the word “streamline” in their answers, with Akinosho adding that wasteful spending needed to come to an end, though he did not cite an example of wasteful spending by the current board. Atkins had a different approach, pointing to a local church that recently donated uniforms to a local school. She said the district should reach out to the community more, as well as find other unique

ways to save. “You can cut costs associated with managing (the district) by getting people to volunteer their time and resources,” she said. Bonardi leaned out previous experience on the board, stating the budgetary process is one of the more difficult parts of the job. “We need to follow the process closely … take in initial requests and make decisions based on the information provided,” he said. “It’s a difficult process.” Smith said she would focus more on budgetary items that would affect school safety. “It’s important that we move money around in the budget so that safety concerns are taken care of,” she said.”

DROPOUT RATE The district’s dropout rate was mentioned often in previous answers, but one specific question late in the forum dealt with

what steps the candidates would take to reduce the dropout rate if elected. Mangum said promoting mentor programs is a key. “Sometimes children don’t have one person they can relate to,” she said. “(With mentors), having that one relationship with someone makes a huge difference for students.” Gurwitch pointed to a program initiated by a district in Tennessee that encourages businesses to get together with schools to work one-on-one with children. She said she would promote a similar program if elected. “If only one adult shows a significant interest in a child, it will help them stay in school,” she said. Akinosho said getting parents involved is important in reducing the dropout rate. “We need everyone to be the eyes of the community to look out for these children,” he said.

A community effort to benefit from BRAC

B

RAC is becoming a wellknown term to those who live in the Cape Fear region. BRAC — which stands for Base Realignment and Closure — has the potential to have a major impact on the 11 counties that are nearest to Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base. The U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) and U.S. Army Reserve Command (USARC) will be moving from Fort McPherson, Ga., to Cumberland County. But, with the move, there will be thousands of people (families) moving to our region, and it has the potential of having a major effect

on our economy. Kirk Bradley, chairman, president and CEO of Lee-Moore Capital Company, has been a major player in the local Second Century Project in branding and marketing Sanford and Lee County. He knows well of the impact BRAC can have for us. “The BRAC opportunity is the single biggest economic development opportunity that our community will have for the next several years,” he noted in a recent article that appeared in The Herald. “Very rarely do you have such a significant onetime event that actually continues to impact you in the future.” Bradley says that “our public

staff and elected officials are very aware of BRAC and have been actively engaged in that planning process.” But, are we really doing all that we can to attract those who will be making the move to our area? “I’m not sure that we have pulled together all of our best efforts in one easily communicated package as to why those BRAC transferees should choose to live in Sanford, Broadway or Lee County,” says Bradley. “I think some of the initiatives that Second Century is embarking upon such as Web site coordination and the education brochure will help, but it really

comes down to money.” Ah, the “m” word. Bradley says much of the investment from public/private partnerships needs to take place over the next few years to “get the message” out to the local population. He’s right, but again, it comes down to money ... and time. This is not a situation where we can simply roll out a red carpet and hope they will come. While we have done some recruitment, we’ve got to continue to let these people know how great our community is and give them reasons why they should move to Sanford, Broad-

way and Lee County. We’ve sent teams to Fort McPherson to promote Sanford, and the work on that front isn’t done yet. We need to tout our businesses and our schools and all of the other good things that we have going for us. We’ve got to show them that we welcome them with open arms. Again, it’s going to take money and time. Are we willing, as a community, to step up to the plate and take advantage of this economic development opportunity? Time will tell.

Letters to the Editor Good experiences with Lee Co. Animal Control To the Editor:

The insular Republicans

U

nfortunately for them, James Carville won’t be working for North Carolina Republicans this

fall. If he did, he might remind them that, once again, it’s the economy, stupid. Republican politicians and activists, in North Carolina and elsewhere, constitute a strange brew. Becoming increasingly insular, listening to and reading those of a like mind, many possess a great ability to convince themselves that their beliefs are always shared by a majority out there in the real world. ... Out there in the real world, people are angry at institutions of authority of all shapes and sizes. ... Republican politicians hope to direct more of that anger at government and those incumbent Democrats this fall. But they seem to be putting an awful lot of their eggs in the health care bunny’s basket. (Last) week, Republican legislators spoke at a Raleigh rally where about 150 conservatives continued denouncing the national health care plan. Less than two blocks away, the top two GOP elected leaders of state government, Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry and Agriculture Commission Steve Troxler, had hoped to push and prod Democratic Attorney General Roy Cooper to join 14 other attorneys general in filing a lawsuit to challenge the health care legislation. Apparently Cooper is scared. He didn’t show up for the meeting. At the rally, State Rep. Paul “Skip” Stam, the Republican leader of the state House, vowed that he and his counterpart in the Senate, Sen. Phil Berger, would file legislation that would force Cooper to join the lawsuit and block enforcement of the law in North Carolina. Who cares that some heavy-hitting law professors, including the fellow who once argued cases for Reagan administration before the U.S. Supreme, sees these efforts as absurd and futile? Stam went on to say that if Democrats in the legislature stopped their bill, it would become the first order of business when the legislature reconvenes next January. The implication was that Republicans would be in charge by then. What Stam, Berger et al seemingly fail to grasp is that the Democrats, come the fall, will be just as willing to brandish the anger sword. They’ll direct it at other institutions of authority distrusted by the public — insurers and banks — and accuse Republicans of doing their bidding, being their dupes. In ads and mailers, opposition to the health reform plan will become siding with insurers to deny coverage to those stricken with cancer and other lifethreatening diseases. As anxiety ebbs regarding health care reform, that simple message will have resonance. Meanwhile, economists expect job growth to remain sluggish and economic anxiety to stay high. Maybe there’s a reason that Carville worked for the Democrats. When he called them stupid, he did get their attention.

Grievance machine W

hat is so wrong about Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell declaring April to be Confederate History Month? Can’t we respect Robert E. Lee’s high-minded sense of honor? The average Confederate soldier’s outnumbered stubbornness? Americans can appreciate these things, and do. But when a public official celebrates Confederate history without mentioning slavery, there is a problem. The historical context of secession was the defense of slavery — what Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens called the “cornerstone” of the Southern cause. Downplaying this context, as McDonnell initially did before later amending, was a sin of omission. When a Virginia governor speaks of the Civil War, he has a positive duty to disavow the racist sentiments that find refuge in Confederate nostalgia. Context matters. This principle of responsible leadership has broader application. We have entered a national debate on the role and size of government, intensified by the passage of health care reform legislation. It is not quite Antietam, but many Americans feel that their deepest beliefs about liberty and self-government are being undermined. Passions run high. Activists slip easily into reckless talk of tyranny and revolution. In this context — on the day health reform became law — Sarah Palin wrote to her Twitter tribe: “Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: ‘Don’t Retreat, Instead — RELOAD!’” In a moose-hunting culture, these words probably carry less menace. Palin was not trying to incite violence. But she was careless about the context of her words and ignored a positive duty to confront political extremism. A few years ago, the historical context was different: Opposition to an unpopular war seemed to justify any rhetorical excess. At anti-war rallies, George W. Bush was routinely compared to Adolf Hitler. A film was made contemplating Bush’s assassination. In his article, “The Case for Bush Hatred,” The New Republic’s Jonathan Chait stated, “I hate President George W. Bush. There, I said it.” Some political leaders ignored this toxic context as well. Sen. Harry Reid called Bush a “loser,” a “liar” and alleged that he had “betrayed the country.” Al Gore termed Bush a “moral coward.” Concerning the 9/11 attacks, Howard Dean speculated that Bush might have been “warned ahead of time by the Saudis.” It would indicate a total ideological blindness to locate such offense entirely on one side of the political spectrum. Which is precisely the problem. Everyone in American politics has plentiful fuel for their grievances — complaints that are echoed by partisan cable and talk radio, intensified by Internet brutishness and wrapped in conspiracy theories until they overwhelm good sense and sympathy. The most basic test of democracy is not what people do when they win; it is what

RE: “County wants tighter leash on Animal Control.” The first sentence in this article led me to think there were allegations of cruelty issues with Lee County Animal Services. Further reading however, revealed this not to be the case. I do think the writer could have phrased the lead-in to the article in a considerably more informative manner. My personal experience with Lee County Animal Control this past January was one of an extremely helpful service with people who really cared. I visited the shelter several times, some when they were close to closing, and each visit was met with helpful people who went out of their way to assist me in my search for a rescue pet. I have a pet that came from a very troubled beginning and is now my companion. She’s still adjusting to life, and I’m looking forward to her further development. Thanks to each of you at the shelter. Gracie and I really appreciate the jobs you do. RICHARD COBB Sanford

people do when they lose. Citizens bring their deepest passions to a public debate — convictions they regard as morally selfevident. Yet a war goes on. Abortion remains legal. A feared health reform law passes. Democracy means the possibility of failure. While no democratic judgment is final — and citizens should continue to work to advance their ideals — respecting the temporary outcome of a democratic process is the definition of political maturity. The opposite — questioning the legitimacy of a democratic outcome, abusing, demeaning and attempting to silence one’s opponents — is a sign of democratic decline. From the late Roman republic to Weimar Germany, these attitudes have been the prelude to thuggery. Thugs can come with clubs, with bullhorns, with Internet access. Admittedly, the call for civility can be a political ploy. It is not a coincidence that the party currently in power is invariably the defender of decorum, hoping to shield itself from criticism. And some people attempt to use the threat of radicalism as a weapon. The syllogism goes: Some who oppose health care reform seem prone to extremism. Therefore anyone who opposes health care reform is promoting extremism. It is enough to make a professor of logic weep. It is also the same reasoning that would accuse all who hold anti-war views of promoting anti-Americanism. But though the idea of civility can be abused, it is a terrible thing when it is misataken for weakness. When Sen. Tom Coburn, of unquestioned conservative credentials, recently called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a “nice lady,” he was attacked by some on the right as a “chump” and “clueless” — punished for practicing the Golden Rule. So, for the record: I don’t hate President Barack Obama. There, I said it.

Today’s Prayer To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see. (Hebrews 11:1 TEV) PRAYER: Thank You, God, for putting the answers in front of us at a time when the pain is too great for us to find them ourselves. Amen.

To the Editor: When the State Legislature returns to Raleigh next month, lawmakers will be staring at a significant deficit, as must as $300 million some predict. News reports indicate the governor is working on a number of budget cuts that could go as high as $1 billion. In the Charlotte area, Associated Press recently reported that school officials are looking at laying off as many as 600 teachers. Against this backdrop, thousands of residents are playing video sweepstakes and other video games without any regulation or taxation. That’s millions of dollars state authorities could have in their treasury to balance the budget shortfall. The Entertainment Group of North Carolina will again go to the State Legislature this summer and ask the lawmakers to regulate and tax the video gaming business. If the state would provide oversight and regulation, taxes generated from video gaming could provide up to $498 million a year. The only difference between playing a scratch off ticket and a video sweepstake is the revenue the state is collecting. It’s time to for the state to oversee, regulate and tax video gaming in North Carolina. WILLIAM THEVAOS Entertainment Group Charlotte

creating updos, braiding hair and making up mannequins in preparation for the competition. More than 100 people — many were students watching the models work their creations — attended the show, cheering and whooping for their fellow students. Categories featured evening looks, fantasy makeup and haircuts for women and men. It’s a time for students to be creative and show what they’ve learned in class, said Faye Stephenson, the lead instructor at the Dunn school. “In cosmetology, you have a total look presentation,� including hair, makeup and outfit, Stephenson said. The complex updos and makeup looks take time, she said. When planning the fantasy looks, the students drew their ideas on paper, just like any designer. “They really have to process and think through,� she said. “It takes a lot of thought and practice.� Stephenson said the competition is a motivator for the students before entering the professional world. “It teaches them how to put on this type of presentation,� she said, adding that many of these students may go on to do cosmetology work for theater or movies. “There’s got to be a

versatility there.� The students are excited to show their artistic side during competition, Stephenson said. “It’s fascinating to see how creative they can be,� she said. “It’s just a good thing for the students to have a great time. And it’s a learning process.� In the fantasy category, models wore peacock feathers, Coca-Cola labels on a dress and yarn for hair. Many of the looks took hours to plan, the students said. “I just like doing hair,� said Michael Lunsford, a student at the West Harnett Center studying barbering. “It really interests me to do hair and see what everyone else is doing, with the trends and fads.� “With every competition you learn something new, you get better,� said student Lakisha Denning. Sandra Goldston, a cosmetology instructor and trainee at the Lee County campus, said the competition gives the students a sense of accomplishment. “I think it gives them some confidence to know that they know what they’re doing,� she said. CCCC’s Cosmetology School Dean Joni Pavlik believes students get to see another level of cosmetology during the show.

“It just broadens their horizon,� she said. Each year, Pavlik lets one student use her as a model. Stacy McNeill, a cosmetology student at the Lillington campus, was the lucky one this year. McNeill spent almost eight hours creating the fan hair piece Pavlik wore Monday, and another two hours doing Pavlik’s makeup and making finger curls in her hair. “It’s amazing,� Pavlik said. “They work very hard. You just watch her eyes and see the creativity going through her brain.� That ability to be creative and the diversity of the field are the attraction for students like Jalessa Cade, a student at the Dunn campus studying cosmetology who modeled a look for another student. “You get to work with different people, different backgrounds,� she said. But, no matter what, “hair is hair.�

CAPITOL LETTER

Medical tax getting look from N.C. lawmakers

RALEIGH (AP) — The Legislature socked it to retail customers, smokers, drinkers and big earners with higher taxes last year to help close a budget gap calculated by Democrats at more than $4 billion. Could hospitals or doctors’ offices be next? Legislative leaders are returning to Raleigh early to begin adjusting the second year of the state’s two-year budget and they’re intrigued by a hospital or provider tax or fee because it could draw down three times as much extra money in federal matching funds for Medicaid. It’s one of several options they’ll examine to help close another budget gap starting July 1 that ranging from $700 million to $1.2 billion. Medicaid, the state-federal health care program for the poor, is on track to be $475 million over

budget in North Carolina next fiscal year as more — and apparently sicker — patients enroll, legislative staff members told budget-writers last week. “It’s worth considering,� said Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt, DBuncombe. “Medicaid is there to serve the people and we’ve gone past the point, in my opinion, of being able to serve people appropriately. We’ve cut to that point.� Hospital and doctors’ lobbying groups in North Carolina oppose the idea, although they would receive higher Medicaid payment rates as part of any bargain. While discussions are preliminary and final revenue decisions at least two months away, the idea Democratic lawmakers would ponder openly more taxes in an election year after raising them by $1 billion last year shows they see a dwindling

The painting, which had been copied from a 18th century original by British painter William Hoare, was a mainstay in the historic courthouse, but it was located in one of the most heavily damaged areas in the burned structure. A construction worker’s soldering iron touched off the blaze March 25, and firefighters were unable to save the 130-year-old building. Henzey said workers have cleaned out most of the burned rubble in the Pittsboro courthouse. There were surprises, including scores of artifacts largely unspoiled in the courthouse’s museum. But Pitt’s portrait, crafted by Chatham painter the

number of options to fix the state’s fiscal problems. “The aversion to increasing taxes right now is at full-bore odds with cutting a program that’s already been cut too much,� said Rep. Pryor Gibson, D-Anson, cochairman of the House Finance Committee. “This is way beyond the lesser of two evils.� The concept isn’t entirely new in North Carolina, one of 44 states that have at least one kind of Medicaid-related provider tax, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. A state usually levies the tax on a broad class of medical providers. All Florida hospitals, for example, are charged 1.5 percent of their annual net operating revenues, according to documents presented to legislators on the topic and obtained by The Associated Press.

Harris said Historical Association President Barbara Pugh was attempting last week to make contact with Nash’s family to see if the painter had made any duplicates or if she has a relative who would be able to make a copy. The original painting, done by Hoare in 1754, hangs today in the N.C. Museum of Art in Raleigh. It captured the British politician, known for leading the country during a time of colonial turmoil and revolt in “the New World,� wearing his dress robes. Nash’s copy of the painting had one notable difference. In it, Pitt was facing the opposite direction.

Workers found no trace of the art as they scoured the remains of the gutted building, she said. “Like anything that we lost in the fire, it’s regrettable that it happened,� said Walter Harris, a member of the Chatham County Historical Association board of directors. “It’s a very unfortunate accident.� Chatham commissioners have said they plan to rebuild the beloved courthouse in the center of Pittsboro’s famed traffic circle, although Henzey said it’s much too soon to talk about details like courtroom art. Henzey said commissioners are likely to launch a public task force seeking input on the

STATE BRIEFS

Dem candidates talk job creation

RALEIGH (AP) — With the deficit on pace to reach $1.6 trillion this year, the economy slow to recover from the Great Recession and entitlement programs burdened by the unemployed and aging baby boomers, North Carolina’s next U.S. senator will face tough questions about how to put the nation’s fiscal house in order. The three leading candidates seeking the Democratic Senate nomination in May agreed in separate interviews with The Associated Press the short-term surge in federal spending through stimulus legislation must continue to generate job growth and consumer spending so that tax revenues can ultimately rebound. The debt “is unsustainable in the long term,� Chapel Hill attorney Ken Lewis said, but “I believe though that we must first act to end this recession because, part of the reason the debt is as high as it is, is we’re in a recession.� Once the economy is back on its feet, the candidates said, the federal debt — now at a breathtaking total of $12.8

trillion and projected to reach $18 trillion by 2014 — needs to be pulled back so as not to discourage economic growth and place Social Security and Medicare on stronger long-term footing. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall suggested raising the current retirement age of 67 to receive full Social Security benefits or the income cap on levying Social Security taxes should be examined to help develop an austere budget strategy. “With an aging electorate, some hard choices are going to have to be made on some of these programs,� Marshall said. Lewis believes cutting unnecessary military weapons programs and widespread government efficiencies could help. Cal Cunningham, a Lexington attorney and former state senator, said he would consider slashing the number of federal contractors, tightening tax collection enforcement and strengthening pay-as-you-go spending policies. The debt is “one of the defining issues of our time,� Cunningham said. “This is a legacy issue

from one generation to the next.� Cunningham, Lewis and Marshall emerged earlier this year as the strongest candidates to challenge for Republican Sen. Richard Burr’s seat, each entering 2010 with more than $100,000 in campaign cash. Three other less-prominent candidates in the race were asked to respond to a series of AP questions in writing. The three leading candidates endorse on their Web sites proposals to create a temporary tax credit for employers who hire new workers through 2011 or longer in an amount equal to a percentage of the new worker’s salary, perhaps as high as 25 percent. Cunningham wants to eliminate capital gains taxes for investments in small businesses and help thaw more quickly frozen credit for growing firms. Lewis wants to create a $30 billion investment fund for building public schools, leading to construction jobs. Marshall would seek a small transactions fee on every stock transaction to pay for her job creation initiatives.

Cunningham starts first ad LEXINGTON (AP) — Cal Cunningham is poised to become the first Democratic U.S. Senate candidate in North Carolina to run a television commercial, three weeks before the primary. Cunningham’s campaign unveiled on Monday a biographical ad. Cunningham narrates how he’s a former state senator who volunteered for the Army reserve after 9-11 and served in Iraq.

Ex-Rep. Clayton backs Lewis DURHAM (AP) — Ken Lewis has landed the endorsement of former elected leader Eva Clayton for his campaign for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. Lewis’ campaign announced the endorsement on Monday. Clayton said in a news release that Lewis would help shape policies that benefit working families in North Carolina and nationwide and be a steadfast progressive vote in the Senate.

Michelin expands N.C. tire plant to add retreads NORWOOD (AP) — A North Carolina factory that makes Michelin tires for aircraft ranging from NASA’s Space Shuttle to private planes is expanding and adding 74 jobs over the next 18 months. The U.S.-based subsidiary of France’s Group Michelin said Monday it will expand its aircraft tire production plant in Norwood to add a group that puts new tread on aviation tires. Officials said Greenville, S.C. -based Michelin North America would receive $620,000 in state funds for the expansion, plus other incentives from local governments. The Stanly County plant now employs about 320 workers producing high-performance tires for military, airline, corporate and other jets.

Friends, family testify for convicted soldier FORT BRAGG (AP) — Relatives, friends and fellow soldiers testified Monday at the sentencing of a soldier convicted of murder in the slayings of a North Carolina mother and two of her daughters, describing him as a caring father and professional

Army sergeant. “I still love him. I believe in him,� a sobbing Beth Brumfield testified, crying as she described how she feels about her brother, Master Sgt. Timothy Hennis. Hennis was found guilty at a military trial last week of three counts of premeditated murder in the slayings of 31-year-old Kathryn Eastburn and two of her three daughters in their Fayetteville home in 1985.

Business owner says Rand wanted his company MORRISVILLE (AP) — The owner of a North Carolina company that sells devices to keep cars from starting if the driver is drunk has accused former state Sen. Tony Rand of trying to force him to sell his business in 2004, a newspaper reported Sunday. “He wanted my company,� Larry Mobley, founder and owner of Monitech, told The News & Observer of Raleigh. “He’s the guy in charge of writing the laws that deal with drunk driving. You couldn’t ask for a clearer conflict of interest, and yet he assumed I’d be cool with that because we could make money.� Rand, D-Cumberland, was Senate majority leader and co-chairman of the Governor’s Highway Safety Program at the time.

SUPREME COURT NOMINATION

NATION/WORLD BRIEFS

Source: Judge Sidney Thomas on list By BEN FELLER Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s candidates for the Supreme Court include a new name, federal appeals court Judge Sidney Thomas of Montana, and at least six others who were contenders when Obama chose his first high court nominee last year, The Associated Press has learned. Among the others under consideration are former Georgia Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears, federal appeals court judges Diane Wood and Merrick Garland, Solicitor General Elena Kagan, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. The president is seriously reviewing about 10 people as a potential nominee to replace Justice John Paul Stevens, who is retiring this summer. Seven of those names are now confirmed to the AP by the administration. A senior administration official said the president’s consideration is not just centered on the three people receiving the most public attention: Wood, Kagan and Garland. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcements have been made about the people

Federal appeals court Judge Sidney Thomas of Montana (left) and Judge Diane Pamela Wood (right) are among President Obama’s candidates for the Supreme Court seat soon to be vacated by Justice John Paul Stevens. Obama is considering. Thomas, 56, of Billings, Mont., serves on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the largest of the nation’s appellate courts. He was nominated to the federal bench in July 1995 by then-President Bill Clinton and confirmed by the Senate in January 1996, with no controversy, in a voice vote. He comes from Western roots — born in Bozeman, Mont., bachelor’s degree from Montana State University, law degree from the University of Montana. Thomas worked in private practice in Billings and was an adjunct community college law professor there for years before becoming a federal judge. The White House on

Monday quickly ended speculation about another potential nominee: Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Her named had been floated as a possibility by Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, but White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Obama “is going to keep her as his secretary of state.� Obama’s list includes three people whom he interviewed as finalists when the court had an opening last year — Wood, Kagan and Napolitano. The president ultimately nominated federal Judge Sonia Sotomayor to replace retiring Justice David Souter. She was later confirmed in a 68-31 vote by the Senate. With his second nomination in less than a year,

Obama is in a far different position this time. He has the experience of having gone through a successful search, and a readymade list of names from that effort. But administration officials say Obama is also intent not to rely on the candidates from last time and that new ideas are in the mix, cautioning about an over-reliance on conventional wisdom. So far, most of the known candidates under Obama’s review are familiar within Washington’s political and legal circles. They are: n Wood, an appeals court judge in Chicago who has worked at the State Department, the Justice Department and in private practice. Like Obama, she taught at the University of Chicago Law School. n Kagan, who stepped down as dean of Harvard Law School to become the nation’s first female solicitor general. Like Obama, she has her law degree from Harvard and taught at the University of Chicago Law School. n Granholm, the Michigan governor and former federal prosecutor and Michigan attorney general. n Napolitano, the homeland security chief who is a former Arizona governor and a former federal prosecutor.

Vatican: Bishops should report sex abuse to police VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican on Monday made clear for the first time that bishops and other church officials should report clerical sex abuse to police if required by law. But the policy failed to satisfy victims who charge that the church deliberately hid abuse for decades. Victims, government inquiries and grand juries have all charged that the Catholic Church created what amounted to a conspiracy to cover up abuse by keeping allegations that priests raped and molested children secret and not reporting them to civil authorities. The Vatican has insisted that it has long been the Catholic Church’s policy for bishops, like all Christians, to obey civil reporting laws. In a new guide for lay readers posted on its Web site, the Vatican explicitly spells out such a policy.

Nuclear summit gets boost from Ukraine pledge WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama optimistically opened a 47nation nuclear summit Monday, boosted by Ukraine’s announcement that it will give up its weapons-grade uranium. More sobering: Obama’s counterterrorism chief pointedly warned that al-Qaida is vigorously pursuing material and expertise for a bomb. Ukraine’s decision dovetailed with Obama’s goal of securing all vulnerable

nuclear materials worldwide within four years — an objective that the White House hopes will be endorsed by all summit countries at a closing session Tuesday, even if the means to accomplish it are unclear. Before formally opening the summit with a reception and working dinner, Obama held a series of one-on-one meetings with leaders from China, Jordan, Ukraine, Armenia and Malaysia. Presidential aides billed the summit as the largest gathering of world leaders hosted by an American president since the 1945 conference in San Francisco that founded the United Nations.

Tea party leaders envision militia to fight mandates OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Frustrated by recent political setbacks, tea party leaders and some conservative members of the Oklahoma Legislature say they would like to create a new volunteer militia to help defend against what they believe are improper federal infringements on state sovereignty. Tea party movement leaders say they’ve discussed the idea with several supportive lawmakers and hope to get legislation next year to recognize a new volunteer force. They say the unit would not resemble militia groups that have been raided for allegedly plotting attacks on law enforcement officers. “Is it scary? It sure is,� said tea party leader Al Gerhart of Oklahoma City, who heads an umbrella group of tea party factions called the Oklahoma Constitutional Alliance. “But when do the states stop rolling over for the federal government?�

AP Survey: Recovery to remain sluggish into 2011 WASHINGTON (AP) — The pillars of Americans’ financial security — jobs and home values — will stay shaky well into 2011, according to an Associated Press survey of leading economists. The findings of the new AP Economy Survey, released Monday, point to an economic recovery that will move slowly and fitfully this year and next. As a result, the Federal Reserve will be forced to keep interest rates near zero until at least the final quarter of this year, three-fourths of the economists said. The new AP survey, which will be conducted quarterly, compiles forecasts of leading private, corporate and academic economists on a range of indicators, including employment, home prices and inflation.

PULITZER PRIZES

Conan, TBS agree to deal

Va. paper wins for gas-royalties coverage

By FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — The late-night guessing game is over, with a startling twist: Conan O’Brien has chosen TBS as his future talk-show home. Expected to debut in November, the as-yetuntitled show will return O’Brien to the air after an OĘźBrien absence that began in January when he abruptly left NBC, his employer of 17 years. O’Brien’s new program will air Mondays through Thursdays at 11 p.m. Eastern, which will shift “Lopez Tonight,â€? starring George Lopez, from 11

p.m. EDT to midnight. O’Brien’s show will originate from Los Angeles, where he moved from New York for his shortlived stint hosting “The Tonight Show.� For the second half of each show, he will face off against Jay Leno, who replaced him. The five-year contract gives O’Brien ownership of the show, according to a person familiar with the deal who spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to publicly discuss it. Upon TBS’ announcement Monday, O’Brien quickly fired out a celebratory tweet. “The good news: I will be doing a show on TBS starting in November! The bad news: I’ll be playing Rudy on the all new Cosby Show,� he posted on Twitter.

TBS said that talks with O’Brien accelerated last week after Lopez called O’Brien to ask him to come aboard. “I can’t think of anything better than doing my show with Conan as my lead-in. It’s the beginning of a new era in latenight comedy,� Lopez said in a statement released by TBS. Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment Networks, said he flew from Atlanta to George Lopez’s office on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles last Wednesday to enlist the comedian’s help. Koonin pitched Lopez on the idea that both he and O’Brien are in their 40s (O’Brien turns 47 on Sunday) and appeal to a young demographic, while Leno and David Letterman are older and play to an older crowd. “He got very excited,� Koonin said. “George saw the vision.� Lopez picked up the phone to speak with

O’Brien immediately. With his own show just months old (it began in November), Lopez agreed to have “Lopez Tonight� pushed back an hour. Within days, a deal was struck. “Hopefully, this will be something that lasts for the next decade,� said Koonin. The deal happened quickly, so there was no discussion about how many staff O’Brien could keep. “In the 90 hours we had to do this, we didn’t get into that,� Koonin said. He declined to reveal the budget for the show. “They told us what they needed to make the show, and we said, ‘Let’s go make the show.’� Koonin said he was optimistic that O’Brien will have more freedom on cable, saying “cable has historically had a different temperament than broadcast,� but noted, “Conan’s not a dirty comedian. That’s not what he does.�

NEW YORK — The Herald Courier of Bristol, Va., a small paper in the coalfields of Appalachia, beat out journalism’s powerhouses to win the Pulitzer Prize for public service Monday for uncovering a scandal in which Virginia landowners were deprived of millions in natural gas royalties. The daily was honored for what many regard as an endangered form of journalism in this age of wrenching newspaper cutbacks — aggressive reporting on local issues. The Washington Post received four Pulitzers — for international reporting on Iraq, feature writing, commentary and criticism. The New York Times won three — for national reporting, for explanatory reporting, and for investigative reporting for collaborating with the fledgling news service ProPublica for a story on the life-anddeath decisions made by New Orleans doctors during Hurricane Katrina. The ProPublica prize — and an editorial cartooning award for the self-syndicated Mark Fiore, whose work appears on the San Francisco Chronicle Web site SFGate.com — represented a victory for new media in a competition long dominated by inkon-newsprint. ProPublica, a 2-yearold organization, is bankrolled by charitable foundations, staffed by distinguished veteran

journalists, and devoted to doing the kind of big investigative journalism projects many newspapers have found too expensive. The Pulitzers opened its doors wider in recent years to online-only material. The changes reflect the seismic shifts going on in the industry in the past decade, with readers getting their news online at all hours, in a never-ending news cycle. Pulitzer administrator Sig Gissler said there about 100 online entries from 50 sites this year, up from 65 entries last year. “You could see they’re really doing serious journalism,� he said. “I think over time they’re going to get stronger.� The 33,000-circulation Herald Courier — with only seven reporters — won the Pulitzer for reporter Daniel Gilbert’s computer analysis that showed how a state board allowed the energy industry to funnel into an unaudited escrow fund tens of millions of dollars in royalties owed to people in one of the poorest regions of the state. Gilbert called the award “a hell of an honor� and said it underscores the importance of public service reporting in rural areas. A prize for investigative reporting also went to the Philadelphia Daily News for exposing a rogue police narcotics squad. The Seattle Times staff was honored in the breaking news category for its coverage of the shooting deaths of four police officers in a coffee shop.

HEELS’ ED DAVIS LEAVING FOR THE NBA

CHAPEL HILL (AP) — North Carolina forward Ed Davis is skipping his final two seasons of eligibility to enter the NBA draft. The 6-foot-10 forward was the team’s second-leading scorer. He was also the Tar Heels’ top rebounder and shot blocker before missing the last 13 games with a broken left wrist sustained against Duke in February. In a statement from the school, Davis said he is pursuing a “lifelong dream of playing in the NBA” and that he would continue to work toward his degree. Davis averaged 13.4 points and 9.6 rebounds this year and was a key reserve as a freshman in North Carolina’s run to the 2009 national championship. He had 11 points and eight rebounds in 14 minutes against Michigan State in that title game.

NFL DA: NO CHARGES AGAINST ROETHLISBERGER

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will not face charges after a college student accused him of sexually assaulting her at a nightclub last month, authorities said Monday. Ocmulgee Circuit District Attorney Fred Bright said the 20year-old student’s accusations could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and her lawyer said in a letter that she did not want to press charges. The woman told an officer Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her early March 5 at the Capital City night club, where he was drinking with friends shortly after his 28th birthday. Bright said the investigation showed the woman was heavily intoxicated that night.

NFL JETS’ NEW WR HOLMES SUSPENDED 4 GAMES

NEW YORK (AP) — Newly acquired Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes was suspended Monday without pay by the NFL for the first four regularseason games for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. The league announced the suspension a day after the Jets acquired the talented but troubled Holmes from the Pittsburgh Steelers for a fifth-round pick in this month’s draft. Holmes, the 2009 Super Bowl MVP, is eligible to participate in the team’s offseason program and in all preseason practices and games. He would be suspended for an entire season if he violates the league’s policy again.

Former Masters champion Angel Cabrera, left, of Argentina helps Phil Mickelson put on his Masters jacket after his win at the 2010 Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Ga., Sunday.

Mickelson captures 3rd Masters By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer

AUGUSTA, Ga. — As Phil Mickelson strolled up to the 18th green, his third green jacket locked up, he wondered if his wife would be waiting for him. She’d been there the first two times he won the Masters, but he would’ve understood if she decided to skip this victory celebration. Yet there she was, waiting with an embrace they’ll remember for a lifetime. “I normally don’t shed tears over wins,” Mickelson said, his eyes watering. “When Amy and I hugged off 18, that was a very emotional moment for us. I’ll cherish every moment of this week.” Eleven months ago, Amy Mickelson was diagnosed with breast cancer. While the prognosis is good, she’s worn down physically. It’s tough to get out among the crowds at a place such as Augusta National. “She didn’t feel well and she doesn’t have energy,” her husband said. “To have her here and share this moment and share the joy of winning on 18, and to share this with my kids, is something that we’ll look back on the rest of our lives.”

WAKE FOREST BASKETBALL

Wake to talk to Colorado’s Bzedlik Bzedlik arrives on Winston-Salem campus to discuss coaching opening RALEIGH (AP) — Wake Forest is talking to Colorado’s Jeff Bzdelik about its coaching vacancy. A Wake Forest spokesman told The Associated Press that Bzdelik arrived on campus in Winston-Salem on Monday and would be interviewing for the job through Tuesday. Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn says he’s monitoring the developments “on a daily basis, on an hourly basis, actually.” “Jeff knows how we feel about

him, and our constituents who support basketball have been incredibly encouraging and supportive of Jeff, and he knows that,” Bohn said. “And I’m sure this will be a tough and emotional decision for him.” Bohn says he’s prepared, no matter what happens with Bzdelik and Wake Forest. Bzdelik and Wake Forest athletic director Ron Wellman have a history together. Both were at Northwestern in the early 1980s

when Wellman was the baseball coach and Bzdelik was an assistant on the men’s basketball staff. Colorado officials previously said that Bzdelik met with the Buffaloes players Sunday to tell them he would discuss the job with the Wake Forest administration, but that the position had neither been offered nor accepted. Wake Forest officials later confirmed that statement. Bzdelik is 36-58 in three

seasons with the Buffaloes, and their 15-16 record this past season was an improvement. But he has not been to the postseason since taking Air Force to the semifinals of the 2007 NIT. In 2006, Bzdelik took Air Force to the NCAA tournament, with the Falcons losing in the first round. He finished 50-16 in two seasons at the academy. Bzdelik also spent 2 1/2 years coaching the Denver Nuggets, leading them to a 73-119 mark.

CAROLINA HURRICANES

Canes enter offseason with question marks RALEIGH (AP) — Rod Brind’Amour is taking some time before he decides whether he’ll return to the Carolina Hurricanes for another season. Ray Whitney hopes he’ll be back, but didn’t want to talk much about it. The offseason began in earnest Monday for the Hurricanes, with team management holding exit interviews with the players,

and two of the biggest question marks are Brind’Amour and Whitney. Brind’Amour, who turns 40 this summer, plans to take some time before he sits down with general manager Jim Rutherford to figure out if he’ll play his 22nd season in the NHL. The longtime Carolina captain yielded that role this season to Eric Staal, one of the young faces of the franchise. “My whole mindset, if I can be more blunt, is, I never quit anything in my life,� Brind’Amour said. “To quit something I haven’t

finished is kind of weighing on me a little bit. If I was to walk away today, I’d be, in my mind, almost quitting. That’s kind of why I need some time to say, ’Wait a minute, that’s not what you’re doing.’ There’s a lot of things that are weighing. ... It’s not something you can just decide overnight.� Whitney turns 38 in May and is one of the few Hurricanes who will become an unrestricted free agent; the team dealt away most of the other potential free agents at the trading deadline. Back then, he said he expected to be among those

dealt, was surprised he wasn’t and wants to return for a sixth season “but I’m not going to elaborate too much on it.� Monday’s chat with management, he said, didn’t cover any contract talk — only the season. “My body feels as good as it did three years ago,� Whitney said. “I feel fine. Once I am not able to play at a fairly high level, then I don’t want to eke it out at the end.� Even if those two veterans wind up back with Carolina, the Hurricanes figure to be a young team when they gather in about

five months for training camp. Ten players who skated in the home finale weren’t on the active roster when the season opened last October, either because of injuries, the flurry of deadline deals and the ofttraveled path from Albany to Raleigh. Carolina started 3-12-5, set a club record with a 14-game winless streak and spent a few weeks as the worst team in the league — while just about every key player wound up missing time on the injured list, including Staal.

reality begin to converge. It is at this point where the gallery’s murmur can become one of two things: A tremendous roar; Or an agonizing groan. Phil Mickelson has heard — and done — both. Lefty is famous for his perceived reckless abandon on a golf course. The U.S. Open in his grasp, not to mention a real shot at his own version of the Tiger Slam — a Mickelslam — Lefty threw caution and wisdom to the wind and on the 18th tee at Winged Foot in 2006. A 5 wood, a mid iron and a wedge added together to equal a bogey 5 would have won him the Open. But a blocked driver off a corporate tent roof, and a go-for-it, ahem, “recovery� shot gifted the Open to Geoff Ogilvy. Mickelson, in major championship golf, hadn’t been the same since. At least not on the scorecard, and not on the leaderboard. Until Sunday at Augusta. But while the result was clearly different, the golfer — and his golf — was nearly one and the same. Give Mickelson credit; he won his third Masters

AP photo

Phil Mickelson talks to his wife Amy after winning the Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Ga., Sunday. with a bogey-free round from the final pairing on Sunday. That’s brilliant enough. But the way he did it was astonishing. He carefully navigated the first seven holes with relatively nondescript pars before a birdie on the par-5 8th gave him a share of the lead nearing the turn. The Masters doesn’t rightfully begin until the leaders make the turn toward Amen Corner on Sunday — everybody knows that — and in a tournament with pristine scoring conditions all week, the champion was going to be decided by who went low on the last seven holes. But Lefty had some early fireworks in him — what

else is new? And they came long before the fateful murmur began to build around the 13th green. After finally pulling even with Westwood, a player who clearly staggered a bit during the historic Mickelson Roars a day before, Lefty inexplicably took driver on the 9th tee — and snaphooked it. Same player. Same, it seemed, brand of disastrous decision. But somehow Lefty made par from Dead, and Westwood was the one who made bogey. And yet Mickelson never backed off, missing fairways at 10 and 11. And still he made pars. Somehow. And so when his tee shot on the dangerous 12th

landed in a similar spot from which he made birdie in the 2006 Masters, it still felt as though Lefty wasn’t necessarily in control. A two-shot lead is nothing on the back six of Augusta, especially when the leader won’t — and in the case of 13 and 15, can’t — put his driver away. And so came the big hook on 13, into the trees and onto the pinestraw right of the fairway. If Mickelson couldn’t control things on a hole on which he is about 143-under for his career, nothing could save him from himself. But he had a look. He had a shot. In fact, Lefty had two shots, equal to the number of trees he needed to blast through. A). Lay up safely and let his legendary wedge game do the work. B). Go for the green in two, with the green jacket — and perhaps his legacy as well — on the line. Lefty pulled the 6 iron from the bag, and from 207 yards away as the gallery stood and watched in disbelief, the ball came shooting out of the woods like a rocket. In that moment, as the ball angled toward the green, winning and losing were riding along with it in the air. Here the murmur

began, clothed in apprehension and bathed in hope. Westwood, also from the pinestraw to the right of the fairway, thought the ball was headed for Rae’s Creek. Surely the gallery had to think it was possible. They had seen it before. Hope and apprehension on a golf course are different than in typical walks of life. They are audible feelings when a club is in hand, and certainly when a ball is airborne. And as the Lefty’s ball began its descent, the murmur’s pitch rose. And when it landed masterfully just 5-6 feet or so from the pin, the murmur erupted into a guttural roar. Lefty didn’t win the Masters with the shot of his career on 13. But he could’ve lost it. We know because we’ve all see him do it. And when he went for the green in two again on

15, and went pin-hunting on 18 (after, it should be noted, taking 3 wood off the tee with a two-shot lead), and after finding the bottom of the cup with a birdie putt rolling so furiously he might still be chasing it had he missed, no one was surprised with any of that, either. “A great shot is when you pull it off,� Mickelson said Sunday evening as the sun set on a drama-filled Masters week. “A smart shot is when you don’t have the guts to try it.� Because of the way he plays the game, Lefty is the people’s champion. Always will be. It is a role he wears every bit as well as a green jacket.

So, a tournament that started with the focus on a guy who committed serial adultery, ended with a victory celebration that was much more family friendly. This has been a trying year for Mickelson, who not only dealt with his wife’s illness, but his mother’s, too. She also is battling breast cancer. Not surprising that he’s been distracted from the game he plays for a living. Lefty arrived at Augusta National without a top five finish all year. But he’s always felt as comfortable at this course as any other, winning his first major here in 2004, then another two years later. When his family arrived — Amy, their three kids and his mother — Mickelson knew this might be the week he started playing like himself again. He opened with a 5-under 67. He closed with two more 67s on the weekend. Mickelson played with that same bravado and confidence that has always been his trademark — and often his undoing. He certainly could’ve gone either way at the par-5 13th hole, where he followed a clutch birdie putt in Amen Corner that gave him the outright lead by pushing his drive into the trees along the right side of the fairway. Most golfers would have played it safe, punched out into the fairway to give themselves at least a shot at birdie and no worse than par. Not Mickelson. He saw an opening between the trees and decided to go for the green — 207 yards away — with a 6-iron. “I had a good lie in the pine needles,� Mickelson explained. “I was going to have to go through that gap if I laid up or went for the green. I was going to have to hit a decent shot. The gap was a little bit wider — well, it wasn’t huge, but it was big enough for a ball to fit through.� How right he was. Mickelson ripped away with all his might, watched the ball clear the trees and soar through the air, plopping down 4 whole feet from the flag. “I just felt like at that time,� he said, “I needed

to trust my swing and hit a shot. It came off perfect.� Even though Mickelson missed the short putt and settled for birdie instead of eagle, that was the hole where he let it be known this tournament was his. He finished with a 16-under 272, three strokes ahead of Lee Westwood and four ahead of hard-charging Anthony Kim, who shot 31 on the back side for a closing 65. “It’s one of those shots only Phil could pull off,� said Westwood, who started the final round with a one-stroke lead but wound up with another close-butno-cigar finish in a major.

“I think most people would have chipped that one out. But that’s what great players do: They pull off great shots at the right time.� Mickelson was steady the rest of the way — another birdie at the par-5 15th, pars at the tricky 16th and 17th holes. That way, he could play it safe for once, going with the 3-wood at No. 18 to assure he didn’t spray it up in the trees and cost himself a tournament that no one else could win, but he could still lose. As the patrons rose to salute a familiar champion who was clearly the sentimental favorite on this day,

Mickelson had one person on his mind. She was there, and she was beaming. “I was just really glad she was there,� he said. “I knew she would be watching. I didn’t know if she would be behind 18. To walk off the green and share that with her is very emotional for us.� Woods’ wife, Elin, would not have been waiting if her husband had won. She stuck with her plan not to be at Augusta with their two kids, undoubtedly still grappling with the stunning reports that her husband has been cheating with numerous women.

DEAR ABBY

Sexually active seniors risk spreading diseases

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: You will thrive on challenges this year and show your best side when faced with problems. Be objective, don’t let your emotions cloud your vision and, most of all, look for solutions that suit everyone involved. Don’t let someone else’s uncertainty or unexpected reversal cause you to make a move you wouldn’t ordinarily make. Your numbers are 4, 10, 14, 24, 28, 35, 49 ARIES (March 21April 19): An energetic approach to whatever you do will serve you well and keep you out of trouble. Unpredictable motions will keep everyone around you guessing. Keep your emotions out of the equation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A trip will pay off if you get to confront someone face-to-face. A problem at home is best left alone until you have your facts and plans in order. Changes at work may be unnerving. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Join in and be a participant. A burden you face will be to your advantage once you realize how easy it is to put your skills to the test. Your curiosity, quick response and desire to experiment will lead to greater motivation and new ideas. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Love and romance can be yours if you are bold and make the first move. Recognize anyone trying to take advantage of you. Emotional tactics will be used -- acting fast will be your best recourse. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The more you accomplish, the better you will feel about yourself and the people you have helped. A job opportunity may not be what you expected but, if you do your best, it can be so much more. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Relationships can make a big difference in your financial affairs. A change of heart may

WORD JUMBLE

help you out personally, financially and with regard to the stress and burden you’ve been carrying. Love is in the stars. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t take anything too personally. It’s best to get your own responsibilities out of the way. Deal with any pending settlement, agreement or contract calmly and you will get what you want. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An unusual opportunity will come into play as a direct result of someone who has supported and loved you all along. Do whatever you can to meet the offers being given with equality, dedication and a long-term promise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Property purchases will prove to be within reach and will provide you with a secure future. A relationship may cause some unexpected changes to occur with regard to how you live your life and where. In the end, you will come out on top. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): You don’t want to raise any questions or give anyone the wrong impression. The less communication and the more action, the further ahead you will get. A change in your financial situation will be directly linked to your home, family or money from an unusual source. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): An old deal you thought was a dead issue will surface. Prepare to handle things differently this time around and you will reap the rewards you missed out on in the past. Don’t be afraid to question anything that appears dubious. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take on a responsibility that someone else can no longer carry. You will eventually get something worthwhile out of the effort you put in. A partnership will lead to a higher position, greater income and future financial freedom.

DEAR ABBY: April is Sexually Transmitted Disease/Infection (STD/STI) Month. The good news is that many younger people pay attention to the education they have received and are more likely to use protection when having sex. The troubling news is, one of the fastest-growing groups of people contracting and spreading STDs/STIs is senior citizens. Some blame medications for erectile dysfunction; others blame midlife divorces and online dating sites. The biggest factor is lack of education. When seniors were growing up, they had to think about only two STDs. Today there are many more. Back then, the “worst” thing that could happen if you had unprotected sex was that you could get pregnant. Now, because many are past menopause, that risk factor is gone, so they don’t use condoms. And the STDs and STIs rage on. Many seniors won’t talk to their doctors about their sexual activity, and — worse — many doctors don’t bring up the subject because they feel uncomfortable or mistakenly assume older people don’t engage in sexual activity. Please, Abby, urge your older readers to get tested for STDs/STIs. — EDWARD SALKO, D.O., FORT MYERS, FLA. DEAR DR. SALKO: I long for the

days when the only things people associated April with were paying taxes and the rain that would bring May flowers. But enough about ancient history. Readers, if you are sexually active — and this applies to those of you from your teens to your 90s — for your own sake as well as that of your partner, use a condom every time unless you and your partner have been tested for STDs and know with certainty that neither of you has one. Not everyone who has an STD is aware of it -- and you can’t tell by looking at someone whether that person is infected. o DEAR ABBY: I work with a woman who talks to dragonflies and believes she was abducted by aliens. She’s one of those people who come across as sweet and

caring, but complain and gossip behind your back. I work in close proximity to her and must interact with her daily. I can’t stand her, yet she relentlessly tries to “befriend” me regardless of how hard I try to make it clear I’m not interested. Recently there was a fire in my home and our family was left with nothing. Miss “X” offered me her deceased mother’s dinner set. I felt awkward accepting it, but because she told me it made her feel good to spread parts of her mother around, I accepted. Now I regret accepting it because she thinks I’m indebted to her, and she makes my life miserable trying to engage me in mindless conversations during work. Abby, I thanked her for the dinner set at the time she gave it to me. How long do I have to pretend to like her? — NOT INTERESTED DEAR NOT INTERESTED: You always have to be polite and considerate, because that’s common courtesy. A way to handle this would be for you to return the dinner set to Miss “X,” thanking her warmly for “lending” it to you in your time of need. (I assume you have the means to buy one now.) And when she tries to engage you in personal conversations, tell her kindly but firmly that you have a lot of work to do and no time to talk.

Iowa teen to wear bubble gum wrapper dress to prom

Woman accepts ‘Village Idiot’ award for hair blaze

GARNER, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa teen is all bubbly over her one-of-a-kind high school prom dress she made out of gum wrappers. Elizabeth Rasmuson made her dress — and matching vest for her date — out of blue and white wrappers from Wrigley’s “5 gum.” The high school junior says she got the idea after hearing about someone making a dress out of duct tape. She and her boyfriend began collecting gum wrappers last August. Rasmuson says she quit counting after 200.

STORY, Ind. (AP) — A woman whose hair caught fire when her hairspray-coated follicles ignited as she lit a cigarette is now a southern Indiana town’s reigning “Village Idiot.” Dani Hamm earned the honorary title this month by getting the most votes from regulars at the Story Inn, a restaurant and bar about 15 miles east of Bloomington where she’s a bartender. The title awarded every April comes with a $100 bar tab at the rural inn. Hamm was driving to work in February when she lit up a cigarette and then heard a “whoosh” as her hair ignited. She wasn’t injured because she used her hands to douse her hair, which she had coated with a liberal layer of hairspray.

Cops: Woman attacks ex during reconciliation talk COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) — Police are investigating after a Columbus couple’s talk of reconciliation ended with the woman repeatedly slashing the man with two butcher knives. The Columbus LedgerEnquirer reported Sunday that Columbus police met with the 22-year-old man at The Medical Center after he drove himself there for treatment. He said he and his ex-girlfriend started arguing at her apartment Friday as they discussed reconciliation. The man told the woman he didn’t want to be with her anymore. He told police she then went into the kitchen, came back with two butcher knives and blocked the apartment door. He was cut on the face, arm and hand during the ensuing struggle. Investigators said he admitted punching her in self-defense. When he finally was able to get past her, she stabbed him in the lower back as he ran out the door.

SUDOKU

Police say meat salesman swallowed marijuana joint ATHENS, Tenn. (AP) — Athens police said they have arrested a door-to-door meat salesman who swallowed a half-burned marijuana joint as they watched. The Daily Post-Athenian in Athens reported that 30year-old Robert Sherk of Cleveland faces charges of tampering with evidence and resisting arrest. A jailer said Wednesday that Sherk was being held on a $5,000 bond and there was no record he has an attorney. Athens police said officers arrested Sherk after he tossed a half-burned marijuana cigarette into his mouth and then resisted the officers’ efforts to retrieve it and take him into custody.

Don’t let others keep you from God Q: I don’t have any use for someone who puts on a big show and claims to be a good Christian when they’re in church or with religious people, but then acts like a harsh tyrant around their family. My uncle is like this, and I can’t stand that kind of hypocrisy. -- S.A. A: Only God knows whether or not your uncle truly believes in Jesus -- but one thing is clear: His inconsistent life not only displeases you, but it displeases God. In fact (as I’ve often pointed out when people accuse Christians of being hypocrites), some of Jesus’ strongest words were directed at hypocrites -- at those who claimed to believe in God and follow Him but didn’t show it in their lives. He said of them, “These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me” (Matthew 15:8). When we try to dominate those around us and deal with them harshly, we fail to keep Jesus’ command to treat others the same way we’d want them to treat us (see Matthew 7:12). We also are failing to demonstrate God’s love for them, as Christ has commanded us to do. The Bible says, “Love is patient, love is kind.... It is not rude, it is not self-seeking” (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). At the same time, remember that Christians aren’t perfect -- nor will we ever be until we enter heaven. But God still loves us (just as He does you), and He accepts us just as we are when we come to Christ by faith. Don’t let the failures of a few keep you from Christ, or use your uncle’s inconsistency as an excuse to reject Him. Instead, face your need for His forgiveness and commit your life to Him today.
