SANFORD — One of the Sanford Pottery Festival’s two new T-shirt designs was especially created to appeal to local pride. “The Potters of Sanford” features photos of 12 unique pieces of North Carolina Pottery made in Sanford. “Our most popular T-shirt design showed a similar row of pottery lined up from left to right across the shirt,” said festival co-creator Don Hudson. “This included work by Sanford potters, but others from the Seagrove Area and beyond were used,”. Beth Guerrero and Sharon Lankford, volunteer coordinators for the festival — which will be held Saturday and Sunday at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center — encouraged Hudson to produce new T-shirts for the upcoming event and promised to market them enthusiastically. Once the decision was made to do so, the idea of creating one design to feature pottery made by San-

SANFORD — Water and sewer rates could soon be on the rise again for Sanford customers. The Sanford City Council’s Law and Finance Committee on Wednesday discussed a multiyear plan to phase in higher rates as the city preps to pay for improvements in Sanford’s swelling sewer system over the next decade. Under the plan, outlined by consultant Lex Warmath, a vice president at Charlotte-based Raftelis Financial Consultants Inc., Sanford would bump up rates anywhere from 9 cents to $1.04 per 100 cubic feet, or 748 gallons, of water or sewer consumption. Under the city’s system, the rates decline as consumption increases. Customers buying from outside of city limits also pay twice the rate of those inside municipal lines. Among Warmath’s proposed increases, customers inside the city will see rates jump from $12.98 to $13.50 if they use anywhere from zero to 300 cubic feet per month. For most residential and non-residential customers who use more than 300 cubic feet, the rate would increase to $4.08. The exception would be nonresidential customers inside the city who use more than 800 cubic feet per month. Their rate will

Almanac Today is Thursday, April 29, the 119th day of 2010. There are 246 days left in the year. This day in history: On April 29, 1945, during World War II, American soldiers liberated the Dachau concentration camp; the same day, Adolf Hitler married Eva Braun and designated Adm. Karl Doenitz (DUHR’-nihtz) president. In 1429, Joan of Arc entered the besieged city of Orleans to lead a French victory over the English. In 1946, 28 former Japanese officials went on trial in Tokyo as war criminals; seven ended up being sentenced to death. In 1968, the counterculture musical “Hair” opened on Broadway following limited engagements off-Broadway. In 1974, President Richard M. Nixon announced he was releasing edited transcripts of some secretly made White House tape recordings related to Watergate. In 1983, Harold Washington was sworn in as the first black mayor of Chicago. In 1992, deadly rioting erupted in Los Angeles after a jury in Simi Valley, Calif. acquitted four Los Angeles police officers of almost all state charges in the videotaped beating of Rodney King. One year ago: During a prime-time news conference marking his 100th day in office, President Barack Obama pledged “to do whatever it takes” to battle the spread of swine flu. The World Health Organization raised its alert level for swine flu to its nextto-highest notch. Twin car bombs ravaged a popular shopping area in Baghdad’s biggest Shiite district, killing at least 51 people.

Armed robber sought by police

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sanford police are searching for an armed robber who held up a woman early Monday morning in west Sanford. Sgt. Harold Layton with the Sanford Police Department said the 39-yearold woman reported the stick-up around 5:25 a.m. Monday at 713 Fitts St. The woman said she had been backing her vehicle out of a garage and parking it on the side of the road when a man walked up and pulled out a handgun, Layton said. He said the man made off with an undisclosed amount of money and began running north toward Carbonton Road. The woman described the robber as a white man in his late teens, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, wearing blue jeans, a brown coat, sunglasses and a black hat, Layton said. No one was hurt in the robbery. Police had not made an arrest and the case was still under investigation Wednesday afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by Billy Ball

The final day of one-stop voting, which allows locals to register and vote in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primaries in the same visit, is Saturday. The Lee County Board of Elections has two early voting sites: the McSwain Agricultural Center at 2420 Tramway Road in Sanford and the Board of Elections office at 225 S. Steele St. in Sanford. Sites are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Election officials say traffic has been sluggish at the sites since it opened April 15, with 777 total residents casting ballots as of Wednesday.

ASHLEY GARNER/The Sanford Herald

SĂAna Smith, 10, smiles for joy as she is awarded her white belt at J.R. Ingram Elementary School on Wednesday.

Contest held for stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;natural wondersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; From staff reports From the mountains to the coast, hikers, hunters, boaters, fishermen and beachcombers often debate which natural area of the state they feel is the best. Land for Tomorrow is taking that debate online with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ten Natural Wondersâ&#x20AC;? contest. Former Governors Jim Hunt and James Holshouser and an expert panel of local celebrities, conservation experts and outdoor champions have joined the effort to settle the debate - what are North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest natural wonders? Land for Tomorrow, a coalition dedicated to supporting the preservation of North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land,

water and historic places, will begin taking online nominations for the contest today. Individuals can learn more at the Land for Tomorrow Facebook page or www.landfortomorrow. org. North Carolinians are encouraged to nominate any landscape, natural feature, wildlife or plant life that is unique to North Carolina and should be considered among the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest natural wonders. The contest is part of Land for Tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort to highlight past generationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; conservation successes and urge North Carolina lawmakers to

continue supporting conservation in our state. The general public will have until May 6 to nominate their favorite North Carolina natural wonders for consideration in the contest. Then, the expert panel will narrow down the nominations to a group of finalists. Popular vote online will determine â&#x20AC;&#x153;North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ten Natural Wonders.â&#x20AC;? And, as an added bonus, prizes from vendors across North Carolina, including fine art, outdoors equipment and music, will be awarded to participants each weekday of the contest.

Having a pet means wading through a lot of information about what is right or wrong for your animal. Through the years some misinformation has surfaced that many have taken as truth. To clear up some tall tales about household pets and their environments, check out these myths debunked. Myth: People food should be off limits. Truth: In moderation, some people food is okay for pets. Avoid fatty, spicy or sweet snacks. However, green beans, carrots or even a nice piece of fruit are great as a low calorie snack. Very lean meat can also be a good snack as long as it is approved by your veterinarian. Snacking should be less than 10% of your pets daily diet. Myth: Cats are bad for babies. Truth: Cats like to sleep snuggled up to warm things, which may have started the association of cats smothering children because of their propensity to cuddle in bassinets or baby blankets. Cats do not purposely set out to smother an infant, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the difference between what is a safe sleeping position and a poor one. Keep cats out of a sleeping babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room and gradually introduce the pet to the child so they can learn to cohabitate peacefully. Myth: A dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouth is cleaner than a humanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Fact: Oral bacteria are so species-speciďŹ c that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difďŹ cult to say which mouth would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;cleaner.â&#x20AC;? However, dogs do lick all sorts of things, including eating their own excrement on some occasions, therefore always use caution around a petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouth. Myth: Bad dog breath is normal. Fact: Bad breath in a dog, cat or human is a sign of illness or dental disease. Proper oral hygiene is necessary to keep breath smelling fresh. Myth: Cats and dogs eat grass when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sick. Fact: Cats and dogs just like the taste of grass. Eating it in abundance may force other food through the digestional tract, which is why Fido or FiďŹ may vomit or defecate after his meal of grass blades. Myth: A dog wagging his tail is friendly. Fact: Sometimes a wagging tail is not attached to a happy dog. Dogs are still animals and you should always use caution around a dog you are not familiar with. Myth: Cats always land on their feet. Fact: Although they do have keen balance and a great acrobatic sense, cats can be injured falling from high elevations. Myth: Cats should drink cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk. Fact: Drinking too much cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk can result in intestinal discomfort. Stick to a bowl of water.

Time to give tourism a serious look Our View Issue: The idea of a tourism board for Lee County

Our stance: This county has gone long enough without a concerted effort to bring guests to our many attractions

oday’s matinee performance of “South Pacific,” Temple Theatre’s final production of the 2009-2010 season, is nearly sold out. Sure, it’s only one of a scheduled 15 shows in the next three weeks, but if the seats remain filled during the popular musical’s run, it will mean everything to Temple Theatre — which has struggled financially the past two years — and it will mean a lot to Sanford’s economy. Think about it ... the reason today’s show will be packed is because a few busloads of theater-goers will be driven in from

Charlotte and Fayetteville to visit one of Sanford’s top tourist destinations. Those people will need to eat somewhere before the show ... meaning local restaurants will have full tables. Perhaps some of them will want to visit a few downtown merchants, putting more money into the pockets of local business owners. When the Temple succeeds, Sanford succeeds. But this isn’t an editorial pleading with you to go see a Temple show. We’ve done that enough the past two years — and while we certainly feel you’re missing out by not going,

we’re not going to beg. We are, however, encouraging the city and county officials to give tourism a serious look in the next round of budget planning. The current “community vision” committee — part of Second Century — is promoting tourism and encouraging local officials to make it a priority. As they’ve pointed out, Lee County is rich with tourist sites like Temple Theatre, and when they succeed, we all benefit. And they can’t succeed without promotion ... which is where a tourism department comes in. We’ve gone long enough without one.

Political scandals

ALEIGH — With recent news updates on the continuing investigation of former Gov. Mike Easley, the details of last summer’s shooting incident involving soon-to-be-former Sen. R.C. Soles, and other matters of political import, now is a good time to assess how much such news is likely to affect politics in North Carolina. My view is that scandals can determine electoral outcomes, but not through the mechanism that most often springs to mind: propelling undecided voters into the camp of the party out of power. I don’t doubt that high-profile scandals can sometimes do this. In 2006, the perception of widespread Republican incompetence and corruption in Washington probably led some voters with weak partisan affiliations to lean in favor of giving Democrats more power. What I doubt is that the number of undecided voters swayed by scandal is large. Could they make the difference in an otherwise-close race? Of course. Any seemingly minor factor can be determinative if the margin is tiny. But I would contend that the greater effect of political scandal on elections comes from base voters, not swing voters. Within the party of a politician convicted or even just credibly accused of wrongdoing, the scandal saps the energy of volunteers, weakens the pitch of fundraisers, and depresses the turnout of the base. It happened to the Republicans in 2006. It happened to Democrats in 1994, after a series of scandals in the then-Democratic Congress. Meanwhile, within the party out of power, scandal leads to two mutually reinforcing responses: righteous indignation at incumbent abuses of power and rising expectations about the possibility of electoral victory. As a result, challengers benefit from more energetic volunteers, more effective fundraisers, and more turnout. In addition to the fact that I think the elections data bear out this thesis, I think there are good logical reasons to believe that scandal stories affect the base more than the swing. Ideological, highly partisan voters are better informed about the details of politics than swing voters. On both sides, they are more likely to know which party controls which congressional or legislative chambers. They are more likely to recognize the names of politicians below the rank of president, governor, or U.S. Senate. And they are more consistent consumers of political news, from newspapers, talk radio, public radio, or online sources. ... Adding these effects will create a difference in resources and turnout. In non-presidential years such as 1994, 1998, and 2006 — all years in which one or both chamber of Congress changed hands — real or perceived scandals in the incumbent party contributed to its downfall largely by depressing turnout among base voters. Those are cycles in which swing voters played smaller roles, because there was no presidential race at the top of the ticket to bring them to the polls.

Letters to the Editor Shook deserves an apology from board To the Editor: The Herald served its readers well by the editorial board exposing the deplorable conduct of the chairman and vice-chairman of the Lee County Board of Commissioners at the public hearing on April 22. Beyond any doubt, taxpayers should now know that they have only one supporter on the board of commissioners. That is Commissioner Linda Shook. If there was any doubt, it was surely dispelled after the nowthey-tell-us-the-truth public hearing. Instead of the $19.98 million that the commissioners had approved for Lee County High School renovations only five months ago, on April 22, the board approved spending $23 million, or an additional 15.1 percent. As clearly pointed out in The Herald’s editorial, the approval by the board of this outlandish debt load on taxpayers, was not the only disturbing thing that happened. In a display of deplorable conduct and the lack of interest about the impact of the issue at hand, Chairman Richard Hayes and Vice Chairman Larry (Doc) Oldham rudely shut off Commissioner Shook when she merely wanted answers to questions about the results that this additional funding would have upon taxpayers. Thus, there was virtually no discussion about the debt load that already exists because of school projects and what could result from this new spending. Mr. Hayes and Mr. Oldham should immediately apologize to Mrs. Shook, all citizens of Lee County and resign as commissioners. CHARLES STALEY Sanford

Test of political character

ASHINGTON — Arizona’s new immigration law is understandable — and dreadful. Few Americans would happily tolerate living near a porous border with a failed state, or, in this case, a Mexican state that has failed in certain lawless regions. Portions of the border have descended into an arid state of nature — a vacuum of authority filled by drug gangs, human traffickers, roving vigilantes and desperate migrants who sometimes die in the desert or in drainage ditches. It is offensive to find such chaos under the American flag. This is an argument for effective border enforcement. It is also an argument for a guest worker program that permits an orderly, regulated flow of temporary, migrant laborers, allowing border authorities to focus on more urgent crimes than those resulting from the desire to provide for one’s family. But chaos at the border is not an argument for states to take control of American immigration policy — an authority that Arizona has seized in order to abuse. American states have broad powers. But they are not permitted their own foreign or immigration policy. One reason is that immigration law concerns not only the treatment of illegal immigrants but also the proper treatment of American citizens. And here the Arizona law fails badly. Under the law, police must make a “reasonable attempt” to verify the immigration status of people they encounter when there is a “reasonable suspicion” they might be illegal. Those whose citizenship can’t be verified can be arrested. But how is such reasonable suspicion aroused? The law forbids the use of race or ethnicity as the “sole” basis for questioning. So what are the other telltale indicators? Gov. Jan Brewer, who signed the law, looked flustered when asked during a news conference the obvious question of how illegal immigrants might be identified. “I do not know what an illegal immigrant looks like,” Brewer replied. “I can tell you that I think that there are people in Arizona that assume they know what an illegal immigrant looks like. I don’t know if they know that for a fact or not.” Yet Brewer has ordered Arizona police to be trained in the warning signs of illegality — signs that she cannot herself describe. There is a reason no Arizona official has publicly detailed these standards — because the descriptions would sound like racial stereotyping. And probably would be. The law creates a suspect class, based in part on ethnicity, considered guilty until they prove themselves innocent. It makes it harder for illegal immigrants to live without scrutiny — but it also makes it harder for some American citizens to live without suspicion and humiliation. Americans are not accustomed to the command “Your papers, please,” however politely delivered. The distinctly American response to such a request would be “Go to hell,” and then “See

you in court.” The government of Arizona, it turns out, has been ambushed by its own Legislature. If this vague law is applied vigorously, the state will be regularly sued by citizens who are wrongfully stopped. But if the law is not applied vigorously enough, it contains a provision allowing citizens to sue any agency or official who “limits or restricts the enforcement of federal immigration laws.” Either way, lawyers rejoice. The Arizona law — like others before it — does have one virtue. It sorts Republicans according to their political and moral seriousness. By the mid-1990s, California had experienced an exponential growth in illegal immigration that strained public services. Gov. Pete Wilson responded by supporting Proposition 187, which denied schooling and non-emergency medical care to undocumented children and adults. Doctors and teachers were required to report anyone they suspected of being illegal immigrants. The resulting debate revealed a gap in judgment. Wilson rode ethnically based resentment to re-election — while alienating Latinos in large numbers, driving the statewide California Republican Party into irrelevance and earning the general contempt of history. Republican leaders such as Jack Kemp and then-Gov. George W. Bush of Texas (not coincidentally, I worked for both men) fought the political current, opposed Proposition 187-like restrictions and gained in stature over time. A similar test can be applied concerning the Arizona law. For the record, former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas states, “There is no such thing” as being “American-looking.” Florida Republican Senate candidate Marco Rubio says the law could “unreasonably single out people who are here legally.” California Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has come out against the Arizona law. Republicans wishing to gain some everlasting credit should join them.

Today’s Prayer And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28) PRAYER: Father, we thank You for Your love, mercy and grace. Amen.

When the Quintuplets were delivered to the school board, the educational philosophy, core values and fundamental processes of effective governance collapsed. The five siblings with their one-size-fits-all approach was mired in self-fulfillment of a take over. Almost immediately, they approved withdrawing membership in Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. A SACS accreditation assures parents, businesses and the public Lee County’s Schools are committed to raising student achievement within a safe enriched learning environment, which is a school board’s main priority. What’s interesting about this power action is all Lee County schools were accredited and awaiting pursuit of district accreditation. Note: It took six years to realize the importance and accountability of SACS’ standards recently renewing membership. What was educationally lost during those six years? The impulsiveness of the Quintuplets continued as they eliminated funding for students in advanced courses taking the Advanced Placement tests. School improvement plans in the fourth year of a five year plan were deleted with a start over new five-year plan. Again, what is educationally lost taking these power actions? It continued with the value engineering recommendations for Southern Lee High School were ignored with funds directed to enhancements of athletic facilities. Later approving the 60 to 40 percent attendance zone split creating the large 4A Lee County High School versus a smaller 3A Southern Lee High School. They failed to seize an opportunity in creating a well-balanced educational community for both academics and extra curricular activities. Population growth by state demographics was indicated to grow by 15 percent, from 51,014 in 2000 to 58,645 by 2010. During the next 10 years the calculations are 12.7 percent from 58,645 to 66,116 by 2020. This data is generally utilized when developing a Capital Improvement Plan. Perhaps the Quintuplets didn’t know this... Lastly, when school board members disassociates itself from their legal and ethical roles and responsibilities choosing instead a vigorous political route due to having a majority control or members who have a penchant for politics eventually you will have problems. Lee County Schools are its future in miniature. Are you satisfied? If not, vote for change May 4. RUTH GURTIS Sanford

rise from $2.44 to $2.53. The hardest blow would fall on the city’s “district” customers, or those customers outside of city lines who were purchased by Sanford from Lee County’s public utility system. District customers would see their rates soar from $25.95 to $26.99 if they use anywhere from zero to 300 cubic feet of water per month. For those district customers exceeding300 cubic feet, the rates will jump to $9.79. Meanwhile, sewer rates will go up from $13.47 to $14.28 for those using less than 300 cubic feet, and from $4.49 to $4.76 for those using more than 300 cubic feet. “Nobody likes to talk about rate increases,” said Sanford Public Works Director Victor Czar. “They’re not popular at all. They’re an unfortunate reality.” The rate increases represent a 4 percent jump for water and 6 percent jump for sewer. For water, the rates are expected to go up 3 percent in 2012, 2 percent in 2013 and 2 percent in 2014. The sewer rates will soar another 5 percent in 2012, 2 percent in 2013 and 2 percent in 2014. Czar said the city’s rates are primarily set by inflating operational costs and plans to expand the Big Buffalo sewer plant from 6.8 million gallons of capacity per day to 12

million gallons a day. City officials say the upgrade, which is estimated to cost more than $67 million and be completed in 2013, is needed to meet expected growth through 2030. “As the costs go up, somebody’s going to have to pay,” Warmath said Wednesday. Czar said rate increases are not uncommon considering the rising cost of providing services, pointing out the rates went up from 2009 to 2010 as well. Sanford City Manager Hal Hegwer said he hopes to have a new rate structure in place before July 1, the first day of the 2011 fiscal year. City Councilman Mike Stone said Sanford might have to consider opening up alternatives, such as wells, for customers strained by the price hikes. “It’s going to go up dramatically in the next five years and people aren’t going to want to irrigate,” Stone said. City officials say they are also looking to gradually phase in a structure for district residents that mirrors those of Sanford’s other customers outside of municipal limits. “We’re taking baby steps,” Czar said. “If you think we should be taking bigger steps, we can certainly do that.”

sional theater.â&#x20AC;? Toward the beginning of the 2008-2009 season, Taphorn announced to the city that Temple Theatre was in dire financial straits. Without a solid showing, several fundraisers and ramped-up efforts from donors, she said then the theater was in danger of having to shut down. While the economy today continues to hurt not only the Temple but theaters across the nation, Taphorn said the theater is surviving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting there,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This season was actually worse than last season sales-wise, but because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve cut everything down to the bare bones, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve managed better. Sales have

been off, donations have been off ... but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to see it slowly coming back. Next year may be difficult as well, but hopefully, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back.â&#x20AC;? Like this season, the theater has cut its season to six shows (from eight the previous years), and it will lead off the 2010-2011 season in the fall with another Broadway hit, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicago.â&#x20AC;? Entering the next season will be a lot easier if â&#x20AC;&#x153;South Pacificâ&#x20AC;? is a hit for Temple. Early signs point to it being a success. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matinee is almost sold out, thanks to a few busloads of tourists from Fayetteville and Charlotte, Taphorn said. In addition to the Templeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation, â&#x20AC;&#x153;South Pacificâ&#x20AC;? is considered by many to be the greatest musical ever to hit the stage.

Bragg soldier arrested for beating homeless man

CINCINNATI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Authorities in North Carolina on Wednesday arrested a soldier who is accused with three other men of assaulting a homeless man in Ohio just because they wanted to beat someone up. Spc. Travis D. Condor, stationed at Fort Bragg, and the other men â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pvt. Riley Feller, Michael Hesson and an unnamed suspect â&#x20AC;&#x201D; had been drinking when one of them suggested that they go out and â&#x20AC;&#x153;kick somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s butt,â&#x20AC;? Cincinnati police have said. They then decided to target a homeless person they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, police said. The homeless man, John Johnson, had been sleeping at his encampment under a bridge on April 10, when the men beat him with a baseball bat and pipe and cursed at him, police said. Johnson, 52, suffered a fractured cheekbone and had cuts and bruises over his body. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They kept calling me a bum and telling me to get a job,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said Tuesday.

of Sanford, said Capt. Jeff Johnson of the Lee County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. Johnson said Lee attacked Burton April 16 after he was told to leave Burtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property. Burton suffered a black eye and needed to receive stitches for a three-inch cut above his eye, Johnson said. Burton â&#x20AC;&#x153;wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested and he repeatedly told this guy to leave,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the demonstration and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want a vacuum cleaner. The frustration just built up with this guy and (Lee) lost his cool.â&#x20AC;? Lee is charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and second-degree trespassing. Johnson said Lee was also cited Wednesday for violating Lee County ordinances because he was selling products door-to-door without a peddlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. Lee is being held in Lee County Jail under a $30,000 secured bond. Johnson said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never seen an incident quite like the attack on Burton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess with everything going on, people are really territorial,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like people coming up and soliciting at their house.â&#x20AC;?

ford potters quickly took shape, Hudson said. The other design is called â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Great Threesomeâ&#x20AC;? and celebrates the fact that the Sanford Pottery Festival is evolving toward a series of related events that will be held on the same weekend in Sanford. This shirt features pottery, North Carolina wines and gourmet chocolates. All will be well-represented at the festival this weekend. Supplies of the T-shirts are limited and those wishing to purchase them should try to get to the festival early on Saturday and visit the lobby of the civic center, where they will be on display. The designs and shirt colors available can be viewed on the festival website, www.sanfordpottery.net. One shirt costs $10 and two cost $15. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought we would try to make it very affordable to wear community pride,â&#x20AC;? Hudson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Besides, when local people who support the pottery festival and the arts wear one of our shirts, they are helping us with advertising. An event can have too little promotion, but never too much.â&#x20AC;?

A chance to do well by doing good Special to The Herald At the 2009 Sanford Pottery Festival, the Lee County Partnership for Children sold tickets for a drawing to win a large piece of pottery made by Coleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pottery in Sanford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sold hundreds of tickets and raised over $600 to help the little children of Lee County,â&#x20AC;? said Celeste Hurtig, outreach coordinator for the Lee County Partnership for Children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pottery has been an important part of Sanford for about 75 years and we appreciate them for so generously donating their work.â&#x20AC;? The Lee County Partnership for Children will be running the Registration Booth where every

visitor to the festival can register free for the chance to win $1,000. This is a popular part of the festival. When registering for this prize, many who admire the work of Coleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pottery also purchase from one to ten opportunities to win a large piece of pottery donated by them. The pottery made by Coleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and featured on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Potters of Sanfordâ&#x20AC;? shirt will be raffled to help support the local Partnership for Children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so successful the first year we did this that Neolia gave us two pieces to raffle off in 2010,â&#x20AC;? said Lyn Hankins, the Partnershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to do even better to raise money.â&#x20AC;?

Word ‘bomb’ on Rielle Hunter talks about mirror prompts Edwards with Winfrey flight diversion

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Continental Express flight from Houston to the Washington, D.C., area was diverted Wednesday morning when someone discovered the word “bomb” written on a bathroom mirror inside the plane, U.S. officials said. A search of the plane after it landed in Greensboro, N.C., turned up no explosives. The officials who described what was written on the mirror spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. Earlier the Transportation Security Administration had said only that a threatening message was written on a bathroom mirror, but gave no details of the message. FBI agents, Greensboro’s police bomb squad, and bomb-sniffing dogs owned by the Piedmont Triad International Airport Authority swept through the plane and

its cargo and found no explosives, airport executive director Ted Johnson said. Every passenger was questioned by the FBI, Johnson said. “Somebody did it but we’ve got to draw the right clues to the right person,” Johnson said. Amy Thoreson, an FBI spokeswoman in Charlotte, said agents continued their investigation and had no immediate plans to file criminal charges. Agents released the jet back to the airline. The flight took off again for Dulles International Airport in Virginia more than six hours after landing in North Carolina, Continental spokeswoman Christen David said in an e-mailed statement. Flight 3006, operated by regional carrier ExpressJet for Continental Airlines Inc., was when it was directed to land at the airport near Greensboro “out of an abundance of caution,” the TSA said.

CHICAGO (AP) — John Edwards’ mistress said the former presidential candidate’s wife didn’t know about their involvement until after he gave an interview to ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff admitting the affair. “She didn’t know until after the interview,” Rielle Hunter Hunter told Oprah Winfrey about Elizabeth Edwards in quotes provided Wednesday by Harpo Productions. “He came clean with her after that interview.” Hunter’s full interview with Winfrey is to air on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on Thursday. Winfrey asked Hunter why John Edwards, a former North Carolina senator, did the August 2008 interview with Woodruff. “Everyone who was

close to — well, who knew all the facts and knew the truth said, please don’t do that interview. Please don’t do that interview,” Hunter said. “Elizabeth really wanted him to do that interview. She wanted him to say, you know, you’ve got to get out in front of it. You’ve got to, you know, say the truth and speak the truth. And she didn’t know the truth. So it’s like you can’t do the interview and not speak the whole truth.” Hunter’s appearance on Winfrey’s show is her first televised interview since Edwards first admitted two years ago that he had an affair with her. In January, Edwards said he and Hunter have a 2-year-old daughter after initially denying it. He and Elizabeth Edwards are now separated. GQ magazine last month published an 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 daughter. Winfrey said she thinks Hunter is speaking out “because she wants to tell her own truth.” “What surprised me most?” Winfrey said in quotes provided by Harpo. “She doesn’t think she’s a home wrecker. Doesn’t think of herself as a home wrecker and she does not think she played a key role in breaking up the Edwards marriage.” Elizabeth Edwards appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” last May and discussed John Edwards’ infidelity, her struggle with terminal cancer and her memoir detailing how she coped with both. Winfrey did not mention Hunter’s name during the interview, a condition Elizabeth Edwards requested.

Man gets life in case that blamed innocent man GOLDSBORO (AP) — A North Carolina man has been sentenced to life in prison for rape — a punishment for an assault that sent another man to prison for nearly 19 years. Multiple media outlets reported Wednesday that 54year-old William Jackson Neal was sentenced in a Wayne County courtroom for breaking into a home in 1987 and raping a 12-year-old girl. He was sentenced to three consecutive life terms plus 10 years. Dwayne Dail of Goldsboro was convicted in 1989 after the victim identified him. A small sample of semen found on a nightgown showed Dail wasn’t the rapist. He was released in 2007. The victim told the court that her and Dail’s lives were ruined. The prosecutor said he would never forget the sound Dail made when he was wrongly convicted.

Pastor regrets big spending, denies tax evasion CHARLOTTE (AP) — A North Carolina pastor says the millions in income, fancy cars and homes he and his wife received from their congregation was generous. But The Charlotte Observer reported that Anthony Jinwright on Tuesday denied tax evasion allegations. Jinwright acknowledged taking “too much” compensation from his Charlotte congregation and making innocent financial mistakes. Prosecutors accuse him and his wife Harriet of failing to report about $1.8 million of the $5 million in income they received over five years from the Greater Salem City of God church. Government witnesses say the church had a special account to buy the Jinwrights luxury items including Louis Vuitton (LOO-ee vee-TAWN) bags and a $1,500-a-month lease payment on a MercedesBenz.

City bans smoking in parks, near city buildings ASHEVILLE (AP) — A North Carolina city is cutting back on smoking in public places, banning smokers from parks and the vicinity of municipal buildings. The Asheville Citizen-Times reported Wednesday the city council expanded its smoking ban and beefed it up with a threat to fine offenders $50. The mountain city that just hosted a weekend getaway for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama also will allow building owners who ban smoking to call police when people who light up. Smoking already is prohibited in city buildings. The new rules take effect in July. Only a handful of municipalities have passed similar bans which are now allowed by a new state law that prohibited smoking in most bars and restaurants.

WHITEVILLE (AP) — A North Carolina judge has set a $5 million bail after a witness to a shooting involving a state senator failed to appear in court on a cocaine charge. The Fayetteville Observer reported Wednesday that District Court Judge Scott Ussery set the bond for Billy Jay Wright when he failed to show up for a first appearance hearing. A Tabor City police detective charged Wright last weekend with cocaine possession, the second time this year he has been charged with the offense. The judge ordered the 23-year-old Wright arrested. An officer at the Columbus County jail said Wright was not in custody early Wednesday.

GOP to abandon blockade of bill

Court skeptical on keeping petitioner IDs private

tally that granted registered domestic partners the same legal rights as married couples.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Supreme Court justices appeared skeptical Wednesday about keeping secret the names of people who signed a petition to repeal Washington stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gay rights law, suggesting citizens cannot always hide behind anonymity if they want to be heard. Opponents of gay rights want the court to keep the names private to avoid intimidation by the other side. But several justices questioned whether allowing petitioners to stay anonymous might imperil other vital open records like voter registration and lists of donors to political candidates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact is that running a democracy takes a certain amount of civic courage,â&#x20AC;? Justice Antonin Scalia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the First Amendment does not protect you from criticism or even nasty phone calls when you exercise your political rights to legislate or to take part in the legislative process.â&#x20AC;? The case, which will be decided by the court before the end of the summer, could draw a new line between votersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; desire for openness in government and the right to political speech unfettered by fear of intimidation. Opponents of the law that expanded the rights of gay couples mounted a petition drive that succeeded in getting a referendum on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;everything-but-marriageâ&#x20AC;? law on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ballot. But voters backed the law by a 53 percent to 46 percent

Fed keep rates at record lows; upbeat on economy

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Republicans set the stage Wednesday to lift their blockade against legislation to tighten regulations on Wall Street, opening a road to likely passage for the most sweeping rewrite since the Great Depression. GOP lawmakers said they would now try to change the bill on the Senate floor. Democrats said the Republicans simply had realized they were losing the battle for public opinion. Earlier in the day, Republican senators had blocked the beginning of floor debate for a third straight day, contending they needed more time to try to work out compromises with Democrats in private talks. Republicans huddled in the late afternoon on their next step. There had been signs

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Federal Reserve sounded a more confident note Wednesday that the economy is strengthening but pledged to hold rates at record lows to make sure it gains traction. Wrapping up a two-day meeting, the Fed in a 9-1 decision retained its pledge to hold rates at historic lows for an â&#x20AC;&#x153;extended period.â&#x20AC;? Doing so will help energize the recovery. The Fed offered a more upbeat view of the economy even as it noted that risks remain. It said the job market is â&#x20AC;&#x153;beginning to improve,â&#x20AC;? an upgrade from its last meeting in mid-March. It observed then that the unemployment situation was merely â&#x20AC;&#x153;stabilizing.â&#x20AC;? The Fed also noted that consumer spending has â&#x20AC;&#x153;picked up,â&#x20AC;? an improvement from its last observation that spending was expanding at a â&#x20AC;&#x153;moderate pace.â&#x20AC;? Even with the economic gains, the Fed noted reasons to be cautious. High unemployment, sluggish income gains and tight credit are still dampening consumer spending, a major contributor to economic activity.

that some Republicans were growing weary of continuing to block the bill after President Barack Obama and other Democrats accused them of siding with Wall Street, an institution that rivals Congress in its unpopularity. Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, said on Tuesday he would vote to let the bill advance to the Senate floor if bipartisan talks were no longer progressing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have an idea of how much time it takes to cut a deal,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not possible, then we go on.â&#x20AC;? Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said Wednesday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been immense pressure bottled up inside the Republican caucus through these last three votes. A lot of their members have been very deeply unhappy with the direction their leadership

has been taking them. Better heads prevailed.â&#x20AC;? Obama, winding up a Midwest tour promoting the legislation, said he was pleased the debate would proceed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The time for reform is now,â&#x20AC;? the president said. The bill would establish a nine-member Financial Services Oversight Council, including the treasury secretary, Federal Reserve chairman and the heads of regulatory agencies to monitor markets for threats, such as the bubble in housing prices and mortgagebacked securities that preceded the financial collapse two years ago. The Federal Reserve would begin policing large bank holding companies and interconnected nonbank institutions whose collapse might pose a threat to the economy. With approval of the

council, the Fed could even break up complex companies that posed a grave threat. Most investment derivatives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as the hundreds of billions of dollars in complex instruments blamed for accelerating the crisis two years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would have to be traded on regulated exchanges. Sen. Richard Shelby, the top Republican on the Banking Committee, said Wednesday he had received assurances that Democrats would adjust the bill to address GOP concerns that it would perpetuate bailouts of banks. But he said he and committee chairman Chris Dodd had given up finding common ground on other provisions, including Doddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consumer protection language that Republicans say goes too far.

Crews try setting fire to oil leak

OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hellish scene: Giant sheets of flame racing across the Gulf of Mexico as thick, black smoke billows high into sky. This, though, is no Hollywood action movie. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the real-life plan to be deployed just 20 miles from the Gulf Coast in a last-ditch effort to burn up an oil spill before it could wash ashore and wreak environmental havoc. The Coast Guard late Wednesday afternoon started a test burn of an area about 30 miles east of the delta of the Mississippi River to see how the technique was

working. Crews planned to use hand-held flares to set fire to sections of the massive spill. Crews turned to the plan after failing to stop a 1,000barrel-a-day leak at the spot where a deepwater oil platform exploded and sank. A 500-foot boom was to be used to corral several thousand gallons of the thickest oil on the surface, which will then be towed to a more remote area, set on fire, and allowed to burn for about an hour. About 42,000 gallons of oil a day are leaking into the Gulf from the blown-out well drilled by the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. Eleven workers are

a hardened ball of tar that can be removed from the water with nets or skimmers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say there is little threat to the environment because it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coat an animal, and because all the volatiles have been consumed if it gets on a shore it can be simply picked up,â&#x20AC;? he said. Authorities also said they expect minimal impact on sea turtles and marine mammals in the burn area. A graphic posted by the Coast Guard and the industry task force fighting the slick showed it covering an area about 100 miles long and 45 miles across at its widest point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premature to say this is catastrophic. I will say this is very serious,â&#x20AC;? said Coast Guard Rear Adm. Mary Landry.

missing and presumed dead. The cause of the explosion has not been determined. Greg Pollock, head of the oil spill division of the Texas General Land Office, which is providing equipment for crews in the Gulf, said he is not aware of a similar burn ever being done off the U.S. coast. The last time crews with his agency used fire booms to burn oil was a 1995 spill on the San Jacinto River. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you can get oil ignited, it is an absolutely effective way of getting rid of a huge percentage of the oil,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overstate how important it is to get the oil off the surface of the water.â&#x20AC;? The oil has the consistency of thick roofing tar. When the flames goes out, Pollock said, the material that is left resembles

Immigration bill calls for benchmarks before status change WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An emerging immigration proposal by three Democratic senators calls for more federal enforcement agents and other border security-tightening benchmarks before illegal immigrants could become legal U.S. residents. Those goals â&#x20AC;&#x153;must be met before action can be taken to adjust the status of people already in the United States illegally,â&#x20AC;? according to a copy of the draft legislation, obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press, that Sens. Harry Reid of Nevada, Charles Schumer of New York and Robert Menendez are developing. The benchmarks include additional Border Patrol officers and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to combat smuggling; more ICE inspectors at work sites; an increased number of ICE officers assigned to detect fraudulent documents, and better ways to determine fakes; more personnel to check for contraband at ports of entry; additional resources to prosecute drug and human smugglers and illegal border crossers, and for deportations. An outline of the proposal does not specify the additional agents or resources required to meet the benchmarks. It does suggest a two-phase system for legalizing people who are in the U.S. illegally.

Court suggests greater lenience for religious symbols WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservative majority signaled a

greater willingness to allow religious symbols on public land Wednesday, a stance that could have important implications for future church-state disputes. By a 5-4 vote, the court refused to order the removal of a congressionally endorsed war memorial cross from its longtime home atop a remote rocky outcropping in Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mohave Desert. The court directed a federal judge to look again at Congressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan to transfer the patch of U.S. land beneath the 7-foot-tall cross made of metal pipe to private ownership. Federal courts had rejected the land transfer as insufficient to eliminate constitutional concern about a religious symbol on public land â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in this case in the Mojave National Preserve.

Militia leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep eye on son

DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The 71year-old father of a Michigan militia leader charged with plotting against the government says he would keep an eye on his son if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s released from jail while awaiting trial. Ray Stone says his son, David Stone, already lives in a pair of trailers on his 10-acre property in southern Michigan. Federal agents searched the trailers after they arrested David Stone last month. A federal judge in Detroit was hearing testimony Wednesday before deciding whether to release David Stone and eight other militia members on bail. Ray Stone had a testy exchange with a prosecutor when he was asked about his own weapons. He says he has more than a half-dozen rifles and handguns. The hearing began Tuesday.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lend Me a Tenorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a high note for Bartha By ALICIA RANCILIO Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Justin Bartha is losing weight. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or that he even needs to â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but his work on stage in the Broadway revival of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lend Me a Tenor,â&#x20AC;? a slam-bang farce by Ken Ludwig, is so physical heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already lost about 10 pounds. Bartha plays Max, a nervous assistant to an opera impresario in 1930s Cleveland. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve scored a â&#x20AC;&#x153;good getâ&#x20AC;? by snagging a world famous tenor, Tito Merelli, for a performance of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Otello.â&#x20AC;? Maxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main task is to get Merelli to the opening on time, but the plan goes awry when the singer accidentally takes too many sleeping pills. Rather than canceling the show, Max ends up disguising himself as Merelli â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dressed as Otello â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to pull off the performance. The role is intense. The 31-year-old actor must maintain high energy throughout the show: running in and out of rooms, jumping on a bed, falling on the floor, singing opera and pulling off an impossibly quick costume change. Bartha likens it to feeling like a car in a car wash. Because of those chal-

Bartha said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Victor Garber says you might break down a few times, then you know that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because you have â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it might not be that bad.â&#x20AC;? When Bartha first read the script, he was drawn to the idea of playing almost three characters in one performance. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Max in the beginning, Max as Otello and an improved, more confident Max at the end. But Bartha soon realized the role was harder than he first anticipated.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Farce) is deceptively difficult,â&#x20AC;? said the actor, who has appeared on film in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hangoverâ&#x20AC;? and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;National Treasureâ&#x20AC;? movies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I realized how difficult it was until halfway through rehearsals.â&#x20AC;? He also knew immediately that he wanted to work with its director, Stanley Tucci, and costars Anthony LaPaglia and Tony Shalhoub who were already attached to the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I pictured them right away in the parts and I could not stop laughing,â&#x20AC;? Bartha explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The actors were pushing the material along. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of why I wanted to do it so badly.â&#x20AC;? Bartha says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equally as great to be directed by a great actor.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Tucci) just gets it. He knows what all the actors are going through. He probably could play every part in this play better than anyone else and I think the biggest surprise is how we got right into it.â&#x20AC;? They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend time exploring the story or their characters but instead focused on the technical aspect of their role and getting the timing just right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would spend an hour on what sound to make when you fall on the ground or where exactly to place something,â&#x20AC;? he said. The admiration is mutual. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Justin Bartha is one of the most talented actors Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met in many years,â&#x20AC;? Tucci said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And having never done a play before, (he) has risen to the occasion ... and then some. He should be very proud and audiences are very lucky to be able to see him making his Broadway debut.â&#x20AC;? When the show is over, Bartha says he feels both amped up and exhausted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your body is exhausted but your mind is buzzing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bizarre. I literally sweat for pretty much the entire time and afterward youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d collapse, but you need a drink.â&#x20AC;?

Bullock divorcing James, adopting baby boy by herself NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sandra Bullock is dumping her twotiming husband and welcoming a new guy into her life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a baby boy she is adopting as a single mother. Divorce papers were filed Bullock Friday in Austin, Texas, where the 45-year-old Oscarwinning actress has a home. The impending end of her five-year marriage to Jesse James came as no surprise on the heels of reports that the motorcycle mogul had been cheating on her and that the couple had already separated. Instead, the bombshell, set off by Bullock in an interview with People magazine, published online Wednesday, was the news that she brought a newborn son home to California earlier this year and has been raising him unbeknownst to almost anyone. Bullock and James began the adoption process four years ago, according to the People article. They brought 3 1/2-month-old Louis Bardo Bullock home in January but decided to keep the news to themselves until after the Academy Awards. The baby is named after jazz great Louis Armstrong, who had touched Bullock with his signature song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a Wonderful World,â&#x20AC;? she said in the interview. The child was born in New Orleans, a city where Bullock and James had both spent time after

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60 Minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to air Conan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien interview Sunday LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Conan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien will be on TV this weekend with his first post-â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonight Showâ&#x20AC;? interview. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien talks with Steve Kroft on â&#x20AC;&#x153;60 Minutes,â&#x20AC;? CBS said Tuesday. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exit deal with NBC barred him from television appearances until May 1; the â&#x20AC;&#x153;60 Minutesâ&#x20AC;? piece will air the day OĘźBrien after. The interview was conducted last week in Los Angeles, according to a person with knowledge of it. The person, who lacked authority to discuss the matter publicly, spoke on condition of anonymity. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, who left â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonightâ&#x20AC;? in January over a time-slot dispute with NBC, has agreed to host a late-night show on TBS later this year. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now on a national comedy tour.

Lettermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company forms record label NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; David Letterman is getting into the music business. His production company, Worldwide Pants Inc., has formed its own record label and it already has its first act. Clear Entertainment/C.E. Music will release the debut album from the punk duo Runner Runner this summer. Their self-titled album is being released through a new partnership with Lettermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s label, EMI Musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Capitol Records and MRV label. The band, from Huntington Beach, Calif., will begin touring next month.

Carrie Bradshawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a teen in new book NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Before she grew up and became a Manhattan icon, Carrie Bradshaw was a small-town Connecticut girl who dreamed of becoming a writer, made interesting fashion choices and had a crush on a boy named Sebastian Kydd who always kept her guessing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Carrie Diaries,â&#x20AC;? which came out Tuesday, is a prequel to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sex and the City,â&#x20AC;? focusing on Carrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life as a 17-year-old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sebastian Kydd...I guess heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kid version of Mr. Big,â&#x20AC;? author Candace Bushnell says with a laugh. Like the adult Carrie, the 17-year-old version has a variety of friends and witty observations. What the book doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have, though, are the sexcapades found in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sex and the City.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Carrie Diariesâ&#x20AC;? is more, well, young adult.

WORLD BRIEFS

HP to buy Palm in $1 billion deal By RACHEL METZ AP Technology Writer

SAN FRANCISCO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Palm Inc. a pioneer in the smart phone business that couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite make the comeback it needed, has agreed to be bought out by Hewlett-Packard Co. for about $1 billion in cash. The two Silicon Valley companies announced Wednesday that the deal will see HP pay $5.70 for every Palm common share. Palm had closed trading Wednesday at $4.63 but traded as high

as $18.09 in the past 52 weeks. In after-hours trading, Palm shares jumped to $5.88 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; meaning some investors were willing to bet another suitor will step forward. Palm was founded in 1992 by Donna Dubinsky and Jeff Hawkins and helped originate the handheld computing market with its Palm Pilot â&#x20AC;&#x153;personal digital assistantsâ&#x20AC;? in the 1990s. But after Palm reshuffled itself repeatedly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it was bought by U.S. Robotics, a modem maker

that itself was bought by 3Com Corp. in 1997, and then spun off again as its own company in 2000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; other companies took control of the market. In recent years, as handheld computers morphed into â&#x20AC;&#x153;smart phones,â&#x20AC;? Palm struggled to keep up as consumers flocked to such devices as Apple Inc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iPhone and Research In Motion Ltd.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BlackBerry. In the past year, phones that use Google Inc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Android operating software have added new competition. Palm got itself into position for a turnaround last June, when it released a sleek touch-screen smart phone called the Pre and fresh operating software for it that won good reviews. But consumers were slow to embrace the Pre and its newer, smaller sibling, the Pixi. In the most recent quarter, Palm sold just 408,000 phones. In its last quarter Apple sold 8.75

million iPhones. HP hopes Palmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s webOS operating system, which runs the Pre and the Pixi, will help it participate more aggressively in the fast-growing market for Internet-connected mobile devices. Known for its printers and PCs, HP also has a line of phones called the iPAQ. But it had onetenth of 1 percent of the worldwide cell phone market last year, according to IDC. HP shipped just 100,000 units. IDC analyst Ramon Llamas said HPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deep pockets could help Palm catch up in a smart phone market that has taken on a furious pace. Motorola Inc., for instance, has said it will put out more than 20 new smart phones this year. Palm has introduced just two and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disclosed plans for more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With HP backing them, I would expect things to get a lot faster,â&#x20AC;? Llamas said.

Man who spread HIV to 13 could be locked up for life

Crist poised to drop out of GOP primary, run as independent

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A sex offender who infected at least 13 women with the AIDS virus should be locked up indefinitely under a civil law meant to keep the most dangerous offenders out of communities even after they complete prison sentences, the state said Wednesday. The attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office described 33-yearold Nushawn Williams in court papers as a mentally disturbed, sex-obsessed drug user who was unruly and sometimes violent during his 12 years in prison and would likely infect more women if set free. He pleaded guilty in 1998 to charges of statutory rape and reckless endangerment after his behavior set off a panic in the small western New York town of Jamestown, where the dreadlocked convict was known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Faceâ&#x20AC;? to the young, sometimes drug-addicted women and girls he charmed for sex.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, headed for defeat in the Republican Senate primary, intends to bolt the party and run as an independent, three confidants said Wednesday, setting up an unpredictable three-way race for a seat that once seemed his to lose. Crist told The Associated Press that he has told no one of his decision, but three Crist confidants say he told them in phone calls that he plans to pursue the Senate seat as an independent. Cristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected announcement would clear the way for conservative Marco Rubio, once a distant long shot, to claim the GOP nomination in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aug. 24 primary. Democratic Rep. Kendrick Meek is all but certain to win his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination. Crist, considered a rising Republican star not long ago, will announce his plans at 5 p.m. Thursday in his hometown of St. Petersburg.

RIVALRY RENEWED: SOUTHERN LEE AT LEE COUNTY

LESLIE COMMITS TO LOWE, N.C. STATE By BRIANA GORMAN bgorman@heraldsun.com

N.C. State coach Sidney Lowe landed his most high-profile recruit in four seasons when Raleigh’s Word of God C.J. Leslie made a verbal commitment to the Wolfpack on Wednesday. Leslie, a 6-8, 210-pound fivestar forward, is ranked No. 12 in the class of 2010 according to Scout.com. The McDonald’s AllAmerican picked N.C. State over Connecticut and Kentucky, where former classmate John Wall attended last season. “C.J. Leslie gives the Pack one of the top collections of talent in the country,” Scout.com recruiting analyst Dave Telep said. “Athletically, he has few peers and to stay home and play for the Wolfpack gives Sidney Lowe his biggest haul as a head coach.” Leslie will join N.C. State’s other five-star commitments — point guard Ryan Harrow and shooting guard Lorenzo Brown — on campus in the fall. Harrow (5-11, 155 pounds) out of Walton High in Marietta, Ga., is ranked the No. 8 shooting guard in the country, and Brown (6-4, 175) is from Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va.

NFL DOLPHINS GM APOLOGIZES TO BRYANT

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland has apologized to former Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryant for asking whether his mother was ever a prostitute. The apology Wednesday came after Yahoo! Sports reported that Ireland posed the question during a pre-draft interview with Bryant. “My job is to find out as much information as possible about a player that I’m considering drafting,” Ireland said in a statement. “Sometimes that leads to asking in-depth questions. Having said that, I talked to Dez Bryant and told him I used poor judgment in one of the questions I asked him. I certainly meant no disrespect and apologized to him. “I appreciate his acceptance of that apology, and I told him I wished him well as he embarks on his NFL career.” Bryant’s background received extensive scrutiny from NFL teams before the draft. He was taken by the Dallas Cowboys with the 24th pick in the first round last Thursday. “My mom is not a prostitute,” Bryant told Yahoo! Sports. “I got mad — really mad — but I didn’t show it.”

Yellow Jackets trip rival Cavs Starting pitcher Nick Durazo fans 10 as Lee County prevails 9-3 By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Nick Durazo made the right pitches. Southern Lee made the mistakes. Durazo’s 10-strikeout game lifted the Lee County Yellow Jackets to a 9-3 victory over county rival Southern Lee on Wednesday night in Sanford. The Cavaliers (13-7-1) committed eight errors as they dropped their second of their last three. The win for the Yellow Jackets (9-9) snaps a five-game losing streak that’s been plaguing the team since April 9. “This was a win that our kids needed,” said Lee County head coach Charlie Spivey. “We’ve been fighting all year long and have had some good

NASCAR KESOLOWSKI DOCKED 50 NATIONWIDE POINTS

CHARLOTTE (AP) — NASCAR has docked Brad Keselowski 50 points in the Nationwide Series because his car failed inspection following his win at Talladega Superspeedway. Keselowski’s lead in the Nationwide standings dropped from 60 points to 10 after Wednesday’s penalty. The penalties were for 25 points each because NASCAR found an unapproved left-front spring, and an unapproved right-front shock after the victory Sunday. Keselowski gets to keep the win.

QUAIL HOLLOW CHAMPIONSHIP

Tiger takes his game to public tourney

Michael Jordan, left, talks with Fred Couples, right, on the eighth green during the pro-am of the Quail Hollow Championship golf tournament at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte on Wednesday.

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

CHARLOTTE — Tiger Woods entered the room with little fanfare, and without the constant clicking of camera shutters. His press conference lasted only 16 minutes. The PGA Tour required an Woods admission ticket for the media, although that wasn’t necessary. There were 76 seats in the interview room, and 24 of them were empty.

Jordan hits the links again By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE — Tiger Woods was inside talking to reporters about playing his second tournament of the year Wednesday when a Tiger-like

buzz began near the first tee. Michael Jordan had been spotted near the putting green. Soon a swarm of thousands craned their necks for a clear view as the new owner of the Charlotte Bobcats hit his first shot in the Quail Hollow

Championship pro-am. Throw in Bobcats coach Larry Brown following him for the final 10 holes, and you had a day of not only star watching, but intrigue, too.

and have much larger teams,â&#x20AC;? said Samantha Kerns, the co-owner and gymnastics director at the academy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to train our kids well in order for them to be competitive against these other gyms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our athletes have been training hard and they deserve a big win like this. It goes to show that just because you are in a small town and are on a small team, this can be done! Coaching these kids has been such an amazing experience for me.â&#x20AC;?

First-place Mets win 7th straight

MLB BRIEFS DH to be used every year in All-Star game

NEW YORK (AP) — There will be two extra All-Stars this summer. Rosters have been expanded again by commissioner Bud Selig’s special committee for on-field matters, with each team bringing 34 players to the July 13 game in Anaheim, Calif. A pitcher who starts on the final Sunday before the All-Star break will be ineligible to pitch in the All-Star game and will be replaced on the roster, Major League Baseball said in a change announced Wednesday. In addition, a designated hitter will be used in the All-Star game every year, including in NL cities. The DH has been used since 1989 when the All-Star game was played in AL ballparks. There would have been a DH anyway for this year’s game. “The changes are designed to make the All-Star game as competitive a contest as it could possibly be,” said Rob Manfred, baseball’s executive vice president of labor relations. The players’ association already has approved the changes. Under a change that runs contrary to normal baseball rules, each manager may designate a position player who will be eligible for re-entry to the game if the final position player — at any position — is injured. Previously, there was a special All-Star rule allowing re-entry only to replace an injured catcher.

Kerry Wood threw 35 pitches during a bullpen session on Tuesday, and is scheduled for another one Friday before the club can determine the next step in his recovery from an upper back injury that has kept him sidelined since March 10. Manager Manny Acta says Wood could be activated in 10-14 days if there are no setbacks. The 32-year-old right-hander, in the final season of a two-year contract that pays him $10.5 million this season, threw two simulated games last week and wasn’t pleased with the second one Friday in Oakland. “It went well. I threw with better location and I had better command of my pitches,” Wood said following the Indians’ 9-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. “I was way better today than I was in Oakland, so that’s a positive thing. We’re bouncing back, and I’m still being able to go every other day.”

Anderson shut down for 2 weeks ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Oakland Athletics lefthander Brett Anderson will not throw for two weeks due to a left arm injury. Oakland manager Bob Geren said Wednesday that Anderson has a strained flexor. Anderson, on the 15-day disabled list, underwent a contrast MRI exam Tuesday.

NEW YORK (AP) — John Maine returned from an odd injury to pitch into the seventh inning, and the New York Mets beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-3 Wednesday to complete their best homestand in more than 20 years. Angel Pagan had a two-run triple, helping the Mets beat the Dodgers for the third time in less than 24 hours and extend their winning streak to seven. The Mets finished a 9-1 homestand, their best since going 9-1 from Sept. 12-22, 1988. Recovered from a 4-8 start, New York heads into a weekend series at the NL champion Philadelphia Phillies atop the NL East at 13-9. Pirates 6, Brewers 5, 14 innings MILWAUKEE (AP) — Ryan Doumit got the best of Trevor Hoffman again and Garrett Jones’ two-out, run-scoring double in the 14th rallied the Pittsburgh Pirates past the Milwaukee Brewers 6-5. Doumit homered off the all-time saves leader for the second straight day to start the ninth, tying it 4-4. Phillies 7, Giants 6, 11 innings SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Wilson Valdez doubled home the go-ahead run in the 11th inning, Jayson Werth’s three-run double with two outs in the ninth rallied Philadelphia after Tim Lincecum left the game, and the Phillies beat the San Francisco Giants 7-6 to avoid their first sweep of 2010.

It was Howard’s first homer since agreeing Monday to a $125 million, five-year contract extension. Diamondbacks 12, Rockies 11, 10 innings

SPORTS BRIEFS IOC strips 2000 Games team bronze medal from China

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The International Olympic Committee has stripped China of its bronze medal from the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team competition at the 2000 Sydney Games for using an underage gymnast. Dong Fangxiaoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results from Sydney were wiped out in February after the International Gymnastics Federation determined she was only 14 at the 2000 Olympics. Gymnasts must turn 16 during the Olympic year to be eligible. Because Dongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scores contributed to China winning the bronze, the FIG recommended the IOC take the medal back. As expected, the IOC executive board formally stripped the medal Wednesday. The medal now goes to the U.S. women, who had been fourth.

Monty reveals 3 ideal choices as assistants

SEVILLE, Spain (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Europe captain Colin Montgomerie says Thomas Bjorn, Paul McGinley and Jose Maria Olazabal are ideal choices to be vice captains for the Ryder Cup in October. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assuming none of them qualify to play. Montgomerie wants Bjorn and McGinley, who have competed in a combined five Ryder Cups, to focus on their performance over the next couple months in case they can make the team. Olazabal lost out to Montgomerie about 15 months ago for the captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job against the United States at Celtic Manor in Wales. The Spaniard said at the time that he did not want to be vice captain because â&#x20AC;&#x153;they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make decisions.â&#x20AC;?

Ochoa saying goodbye this week in Mexico

MORELIA, Mexico (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lorena Ochoa, the top player in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf, is saying goodbye this week, leaving the sport to raise a family and focus on her charity foundation. LPGA Commissioner Michael Whan jokingly tried to talk the 28-year-old Mexican out of her early retirement, saying Wednesday he would send her videos of Brett Favre. Ochoa laughed, patted Whan on the shoulders and continued to say goodbye at the Tres Marias Championship. She has 27 career victories â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including two majors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has held the No. 1 ranking for three straight years and has been the LPGA Tour Player of the Year for four years running.

New NCAA president embraces tourney proposal

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New NCAA president Mark Em-

mert wants to resolve the thorniest issues in college sports. Does the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball tournament need more than 68 teams? Should there be a college football playoff? How will universities and athletic departments deal with tighter budgets? Emmert doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretend to have all those answers less than 24 hours after accepting his new job, but the University of Washington president way he intends to find the solutions has a familiar look. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that (being a president) is one of the most important attributes that I have here,â&#x20AC;? Emmert said during a conference call Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sat in those chairs, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked in a variety of contexts in higher education, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the situation on the ground and I understand the trade-offs one has to make.â&#x20AC;?

Magicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Howard fined by NBA for comments on blog EORLANDO, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Magic center Dwight Howard has been fined $35,000 by the NBA for criticizing officials on his blog. The league made the announcement Wednesday. Howard was in chronic foul trouble and constantly complaining about officiating in the Magicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s series sweep over Charlotte. Howard posted on his blog: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not looking to say anything to get myself in trouble with the league, but I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see other star players getting called for fouls the way I get them. No star player in the league is outta games the way I am.â&#x20AC;?

practices over and over. This might be one of the best practice teams Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever coached. So, for it to finally show on the field in front of a large crowd against our county rival is big for us. These kids really needed it and it was nice to get the win.â&#x20AC;? Durazo, a sophomore, threw five complete innings and allowed just five hits and walked three in the win. In relief, Trent Clark struck out one and did not allow a hit in the final two innings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been huge for us all year,â&#x20AC;? said Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see him do more of is throw strikes. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got great stuff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he just needs to locate better. If he can do that, I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll definitely be more effective a pitcher. If we even have a chance of making the playoffs, Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a huge factor for us. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a sophomore and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to have him around for two more years.â&#x20AC;? The Yellow Jackets scored five runs in the second inning to go up 5-0 on the Cavaliers. The scoring fest got started with a double from Dillon Frye. Patrick Oldham reached base on an error from Southern Lee. Garrett Verrilli scored Frye with an RBI single and Cody

Palmer, who reached base on another error, eventually scored. Grant Brown drove in a run on a walk. Alex Furl had a two-RBI single in the inning as well. The Yellow Jackets were led by Frye, who had a solo home run in the bottom of the third. He finished the game 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Pat Oldham was 1-for-3 with a single Verrilli was 1-for-2 with an RBI, Palmer was 2-for-4 with a single and a double and Furl was 1-for-3 with two RBI in the second inning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was great to get a win and now it gives us some confidence headed back into the heart of conference play,â&#x20AC;? said Spivey.

Shouts of, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for buying the Bobcats, Michael!â&#x20AC;? battled for time with, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you coming back, Larry?â&#x20AC;? While Brown just smiled and waved as he remains undecided on his future, the crowd soaked up Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second appearance playing in this pro-am. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come back and done anything in North Carolina, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very supportive of me and positive,â&#x20AC;? Jordan said. In 2007, Jordan played with Woods in a zoo-like atmosphere.

Tiger Continued from Page 1B

On the golf course, Woods received warm applause when he was introduced on the first tee. The loudest cheer came at the end of his pro-am round Wednesday at Quail Hollow when he knocked in

This time, Jordan was paired with another PGA Tour friend, Fred Couples. Quail Hollow Club president Johnny Harris completed the threesome on the sundrenched day. Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend, Yvette Prieto, followed the group for all 18 holes, too. Jordan, who bought the Bobcats last month for $275 million, had hoped to be in Orlando on Wednesday for Game 5 of their playoff series. But after the Bobcats were swept by the Magic in four games in the franchiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first playoff appearance, Jordan agreed to play. It just had a different feel with Woods playing in an earlier group.

a 25-foot birdie putt before thousands of fans soaking up warm sunshine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to say, this feels a heck of a lot more normal than the Masters did,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. The Quail Hollow Championship is another step toward Woods trying to get back to normal, at least with his golf.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as competitive,â&#x20AC;? Jordan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s totally relaxed and enjoying himself and so am I.â&#x20AC;? Jordan acknowledged he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had as much contact with Woods since his sex scandal hit in November. Quail Hollow marks Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first event since his return last month at the Masters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cure in one moment,â&#x20AC;? Jordan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take some time. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been doing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least from afar where I am. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talked as much as we used to be because I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably trying to get himself right. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all supportive of that.â&#x20AC;? Jordan signed autographs

Everything about this tournament was going to be different from Augusta National, where the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 player made his celebrated return to competition after five months of fallout from his extramarital affairs. Quail Hollow doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the magnitude of the stage, the size of the gallery or the level of media interest. Even so, this is the first PGA Tour event Woods is playing where tickets were sold to the general public. The behavior was not much different from three weeks ago at the Masters, and Woods wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you what, the people here have always been very gracious, very excited about this event,â&#x20AC;?

after nearly every hole of his upand-down round that included some wayward drives early, but also a birdie putt on the fifth hole and driving the green on the par4 13th. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His golf game is great,â&#x20AC;? Couples said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In front of a lot of people itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder. Of 30,000 people out here, 20,000 are watching Michael. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of pressure and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all yelling at him to do this or do that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too focused out there, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always fun to play with him.â&#x20AC;? Jordan has even been able to get Couples to buy a couple of season tickets, two of the 845 new orders the Bobcats have closed on as they build off Jordan-fueled

Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These fans here really get into the event, and again, with a great field like this, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be another great week.â&#x20AC;? He caught a couple of jeers upon leaving the 18th green when he walked past fans wanting his autograph, but it was a claustrophobic walkway toward the clubhouse, and Woods stopped about 30 yards away and signed for 20 minutes. He went out of his way to make eye contact with the fans, as he did at the Masters. Woods even posed for a picture with a kindergarten student on his way to the second tee. Perhaps that will change when the tournament begins on a world-class course with another strong

excitement, according to team president Fred Whitfield. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncertain, though, if Jordan will close the deal on keeping Brown. The nomadic Hall of Famer has had 13 pro and college head coaching jobs. He insists he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coach anywhere but Charlotte, but wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t close the door on stepping down or going to another team in a front-office role. His wife and children live in Philadelphia, where the 76ers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a coach. Brown talked on the back nine about missing his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to take a couple of days and talk to (wife) Shelly,â&#x20AC;? Brown said.

field that includes four of the top five players in the world ranking. Phil Mickelson is making his first start since winning the Masters, although his week got off to a rough start when he withdrew from the pro-am with a stomach illness. Woods is to start Thursday morning with Stewart Cink and Angel Cabrera, and he will play Friday afternoon when the gallery typically is at its most vocal. If there are fans wanting to heckle him, that might be the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether they do or not, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened before, and it happened before any of this ever happened,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dealt with that before. But as far as the fans here over the years, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

been great. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason why that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue.â&#x20AC;? One change Woods wants to see is with his golf. He sounded bitter in his interview with CBS Sports after his final round at the Masters, more angry at a missed opportunity than pleased with a tie for fourth having not played a tournament in five months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But given a little time to reflect on it, it was an incredible week,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it went as well as it could have possibly gone, and obviously I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do what I needed to do on the weekend, but after not playing for that long and coming back and finishing fourth, I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty reasonable.â&#x20AC;?

Kamehamehaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crossword

The Hawaiian Islands

The State of Hawaii is made up of a string of islands in the Pacific Ocean. There are eight major islands: Kauai, Lanai, Maui, Oahu, Molokai, Hawaii, Niihau, and Kahoolawe. Hawaii was first settled by Polynesians who crossed the oceans in canoes almost 1,800 years ago! At one time different chiefs ruled the islands, but in the 1700â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one chief, Kamehameha, made himself the king.

In 1959, Hawaii became the last state to join the United States of America. Today there are over 1.2 million people living in the State of Hawaii. Approximately 900,000 of these people live in the capital city of Honolulu, located on Oahu, the main island of Hawaii.

Sister fears inheritance may doom drug-addicted brother

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Work on partnerships and business prospects. Being upfront and honest about where you are and where you see yourself heading will eliminate uncertainties that you and the people you are dealing with might be harboring. This is the year to ask questions and to be vocal in order to finalize deals and get on with your life. Your numbers are 9, 14, 20, 26, 35, 39, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can negotiate, close a deal, make changes to your home or even make a move. As long as you do everything according to the rules, you will not face any setbacks. Use your energy wisely. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do your own thinking -- as soon as you rely on someone else, you will be disappointed. A partnership will undergo some important changes and the outcome should put you in a good position. 3 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A proposal offered can be good for you even if you feel it lacks excitement and substance. Right now, it’s more important to make extra cash and clear any debts you’ve incurred. Take care of your responsibilities without being asked. 3 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Control your own personal and professional situation. If you call the shots, speak up and do a great job, you will play an instrumental role in your future. Your influence will parlay into a chain reaction of support and new friendships. 5 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Disagreements with the people you must deal with will cause you to rethink your plan of attack. Don’t let your emotions lead you down a vulnerable path. You need a change of scenery and associating with new friends will ease your stress. 2 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep things in perspective, especially

WORD JUMBLE

with love and romance. Changes that take place may come as a surprise at first but will help you financially and emotionally. An opportunity is available if you initiate it. 4 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t be afraid to try something new or to do things a little differently. Your diversity and creative input will grab attention and hold interest. The more flexible you are, the better you will do. 3 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s in your best interest to try new things and incorporate your knowledge and experience into what you are trying to create. The potential to get ahead is present as long as you don’t overspend foolishly. 3 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you send mixed signals, you are likely to get the same in return. Offer only what’s yours to give, not an exaggerated version. Present truthfully who you are, what you have and what you are looking for. 3 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): As long as you collect information and evaluate your position, you will not be disappointed in what you can achieve. Don’t get involved in someone else’s problems or pick up the tab for someone else’s mistake. Protect your money, your assets and your heart. 4 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): You may want to make some adjustments to relationships that will cost you a friendship. A love interest is likely to become your stability by helping you come to terms with what you need to change in order to move onward and upward. 2 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Put your money in a safe place or invest in a long-term investment. You can make money if you are smart and don’t share how much you are worth with others. A love relationship will get better or worse, based on a financial choice. 5 stars

DEAR ABBY: My brother is a lifelong drug addict who has spent the last two decades in and out of jail. He rarely works and has no permanent residence, finding shelter instead with various friends, girlfriends and sometimes sleeping in his broken-down vehicle. When he calls me, it’s always with some creative story and a request to send him money. The money I have sent over the years has gone to pay for his new drug fix, not to resolve whatever problem his sob story was about. Recently, our grandmother died and she left each of us some money. As her executor, I am responsible for making sure my brother gets his share. While I want him to benefit from this modest inheritance, I’m afraid he will use it to buy drugs — possibly enough drugs to harm himself, if unintentionally. Obviously, this is not what our grandmother would have wanted. How can I make sure this money goes to help, and not further enable, my drug-addicted sibling? — CONFLICTED SIS IN MARYLAND DEAR CONFLICTED: Consult an attorney, preferably one who has experience with wills and trusts, and see if some arrangement can be made that ensures your brother has a roof over his head and won’t starve. It may be possible that something can be worked out so his necessities would be paid for him, without his actually getting his hands on the money. o

you became as guilty in his eyes as Sally and her lover. My advice to readers about what to do when someone starts telling them about an affair? Stay out of the line of fire by telling the person you don’t want to hear it.

Abigail Van Buren

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

DEAR ABBY: Like many parents, my husband and I would like our three children to read more. And they, like many children, would prefer to watch more television. We arrived at a compromise, and I would like to share it with your readers. Many television shows are also available with closed captioning. For those who don’t know what closed captioning is — it is a service available on most TVs that shows what is being broadcast via audio. We mute the television and have the children read the words instead of listening. It works great! Their reading skills have soared, and I have noticed they are now reading more books than they used to. In addition, I really enjoy the quiet time while we’re watching the TV. Please pass this strategy on. Some of our friends are also doing it and feel it has helped their children, too. — PROUD PARENTS

DEAR ABBY: I have been left confused and bitter over the loss of my best friend, “Sally.” I expected to go to her children’s weddings and be there for the birth of her grandchildren. Sally had an affair, which I knew about. When her husband, “John,” found out, he called me asking why I didn’t tell him. After that horrible phone call, during which I lied to protect Sally, I never heard from them again. Had I known this would happen I would have told John the truth. Instead of leaving her husband, Sally gave up her friendship with me. What did I do wrong? Should I be punished for listening to her? What would you advise your readers to do when someone starts telling them about an affair they’re having? — THROWN UNDER THE BUS, BELLEVUE, WASH. DEAR UNDER THE BUS: What you did “wrong” was allow yourself to be dragged into that mess as a co-conspirator. Silence implies agreement. Once John realized you knew all about her affair and lied,

DEAR PROUD PARENTS: I’m pleased to spread the word. Closed captioning, which was originally intended for use by people with hearing disabilities, can also be very helpful for individuals who are learning English as a second language.

ODDS AND ENDS PETA buys ad space on Oregon man’s cremation urns PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A dying Oregon comedian’s last words will be written on his cremation urns — and the message will be sponsored by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The animal rights group has paid $200 to place ads blasting KFC and dog breeders on the urns that will hold the remains of Aaron Jamison, who is dying of colon cancer. The Springfield man offered the ad space earlier this month so his wife wouldn’t be left with funeral costs. Since then, the $800 cremation cost has been covered, and donations have helped pay some of Jamison’s medical bills. One of the PETA ads will say: “I’ve Kicked the Bucket — Have you? Boycott KFC.” The other reads: “People who Buy Purebred Dogs Really Burn Me Up. Always Adopt.”

Flea infestation shuts down Ohio health department LANCASTER, Ohio (AP) — A county health department in Ohio has closed because of a hygiene issue under its own roof: an infestation of fleas. Officials with the Fairfield County Department of Health said Wednesday that its offices would be shut down through the weekend so the building can be cleaned thoroughly and fogged with insecticide. Fleas can transmit disease, but county Health Commissioner Frank Hirsch says he does not believe the bugs have posed a health risk at the department in Lancaster (LANG’-kuh-stur), about 30 miles southeast of Columbus. He says they’ve mostly been an annoyance for his employees and have been a recurring problem for years. Several public programs scheduled at the building this week have been postponed until Monday.

Beginning your journey? Start with God Q: How can I know which faith is right for me? There are dozens of churches in my city, and I can’t visit all of them. I don’t come from a religious family, but now that I’ve moved away from home I feel I need to change. But how do I start? — G.P. A: The place to start — is with God Himself! God loves you, and I firmly believe He has implanted this desire within you to know Him. Don’t let that little flame die out, but thank God for it and trust His promise: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7). But (you may be asking) who do you ask? Where do you seek? What door do you knock? The answer is Jesus Christ. Jesus was more than a great religious figure or someone who greatly influenced history. The Bible says He was God in human flesh, sent from Heaven to save us from our sins. He did this by dying on the cross as the final sacrifice for our sins, and the proof is that He rose again from the dead. This is why I invite you to ask Jesus to come into your life today. Only one thing separates us from God, and that is our sin. But Christ shed His blood to take away our sins — and because of this, heaven’s door is now open to us. By a simple prayer of faith ask Him to come into your life — and He will. Then ask Him to lead you to a church where you’ll feel welcome and can grow in your faith.
