SANFORD — Voters decided Tuesday night they wanted a little of this and a little of that on the Lee County Board of Education. In a race that was decidedly polarized, challengers Mark Akinosho, Shannon Gurwitch and Kim Lilley stood together to point out the shortcomings of incumbents Ellen Mangum and Linda Smith along with former board member John Bonardi, who steadfastly held

together in their defense. But voters decided on a mixed bag Tuesday night, choosing Smith and Smith Bonardi along with newcomer Akinosho to take up the three available seats. Smith was the top vote getter, procuring 1,934 votes, while Akinosho gained 1,852 and Bonardi came in with 1,826. The results were unofficial,

Today is Wednesday, May 5, the 125th day of 2010. There are 240 days left in the year. This day in history: On May 5, 1961, astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr. became America’s first space traveler as he made a 15-minute sub-orbital flight in a capsule launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. In 1821, Napoleon Bonaparte, 51, died in exile on the island of St. Helena. In 1891, Carnegie Hall (then named “Music Hall”) had its official opening night in New York City. In 1925, schoolteacher John T. Scopes was charged in Tennessee with violating a state law that prohibited teaching the theory of evolution. (Scopes was found guilty, but his conviction was later set aside.) In 1955, West Germany became a fully sovereign state. The baseball musical “Damn Yankees” opened on Broadway. In 1960, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev announced his country had shot down an American U-2 plane which the U.S. claimed was conducting weather studies over Turkey. (The U.S. cover story fell apart two days later when Khrushchev announced that the U-2 pilot, Francis Gary Powers, had survived.)

Four Fayetteville actors star in classic musical

SANFORD — Four Fayetteville actors star through May 16 in a production considered by most critics to be among the greatest musicals of the 20th century. South Pacific, currently showing at the Temple Theatre in Sanford, stars Cape Fear Regional Theatre regulars Ken Griggs, Bill Barker and Chris Emano, along with longtime Fayetteville actor Michael Brocki. Griggs stars as French landowner Emile de Becque and Brocki portrays the irascible Luther Billis.

year-old Pittsboro resident Salmon David Alston, crashed into the courthouse just before 2 p.m. probably due to “medically-related” problems. Roberson declined to disclose the nature of the man’s medical ailment. Alston was taken by ambulance to UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill, but he suffered no serious injuries, Roberson said. Police said the man seemed “confused” following the accident, according to Chatham County spokeswoman Debra Henzey. A phone book search turned up an East Alston Road address in Pittsboro for the man. No one else was hurt in the accident, which marked another scary moment for a building torched in an advertent blaze March 25. The 130-year-old structure sustained major damage when a soldering

It is not known how far Fisher Hamilton fell into a concrete pit at the base of the elevator shaft, said Oak Island Fire Chief John House, who responded to the emergency Sunday after 1 p.m. The child was taken to a hospital in Wilmington before he was transferred to UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill. Emergency personnel said he would be monitored closely for dangerous signs of bleeding in the brain, and his mother had posted on Facebook Monday that his ventilator tube had been removed. A Facebook group called “Praying for Fisher Hamilton” had already been set up and one member said she had created a benefit fund to assist the Hamilton family in paying for the boy’s medical expenses. Nearly 2,700 people had joined the Facebook group as of 9 p.m. Tuesday, posting messages of encouragement for the family.

Barker and Emano are featured throughout and shine in such classic numbers as “There Is Nothing Like a Dame.” “I’m honored to be part of such a great cast and working with such wonderful friends,” said Griggs, whose recent productions at the Cape Fear Regional include The Full Monty and White Christmas. Temple Artistic Director Peggy Taphorn, an awardwinning actress, director and choreographer, directs the production and also stars as Ensign Nellie Forbush.

iron used in renovation work sparked a late-afternoon fire. The courthouse has been a mainstay of this small, Chatham County town, located in the center of a traffic circle routing motorists to Sanford, Raleigh, Siler City and Chapel Hill. Authorities were reluctant to move the car, a late-model Dodge Charger, because of fears that it had compromised the structural integrity of the scaffolding, but eventually used a wrecker to take the vehicle from the scene Tuesday afternoon. “We wanted to definitely make sure that it was structurally sound before we removed the car,” Roberson said. Alston’s vehicle plowed through a fence that had sectioned off the charred courthouse since the March fire. The construction scaffolding surrounding the building had been there since workers began renovation work on the historic structure this year.

“We don’t really know you and vice versa, but when prayers are needed, we all join in,” wrote one woman from Smithfield. Another woman from Raleigh wrote, “Praying for your precious little one,” and still another Wilmington resident commented, “Sending prayers to Fisher and your family.” The child’s family has posted photos taken just before and after Fisher Hamilton’s fall, including shots of the boy playing on the beach Sunday morning and stark photos of his badly bruised face taken after the accident, according to photo captions. According to the Web site, individuals can make donations to the benefit fund by visiting any Crescent State Bank branch and designating their money “for the benefit of Fisher Hamilton.” The Web site said checks can also be mailed to: Crescent State Bank, 870 Spring Lane, Sanford N.C., 27330. The note “for the benefit of Fisher Hamilton” should be written on the memo section of the check. An individual can also make a direct transfer from their bank account by contacting their bank and asking them to reach out to Crescent State Bank at (919) 708-7055.

‘Dancing’ event now vital to CIS I Our View Issue

Communities in Schools of Lee County announced this week the date for the second annual "Dancing With the Lee County Stars"

Our stance Because of the many wonderful programs CIS helps run, we are happy to promote the event and encourage bigger participation

t’s been the “Year of Reality TV” in Sanford in the past 12 months — native Noelle Marsh was a Top 10 finalist on “So You Think You Can Dance” and resident Migdalia Sebren and her mother were contestants on “Biggest Loser,” two shows with millions of viewers. But last August, another hit reality show, “Dancing With the Stars,” made an appearance in Lee County ... in a way. Communities in Schools, at the time facing near extinction thanks to a drastic drop in donations and a poor economy, packed the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center last year and put on a show some still talk about to this day. “Dancing With the Lee County

Stars” raised more than $50,000 — well above the goal — and helped save the nonprofit and catapult it into the next decade on a high note. We’re bringing this up still months away from the second annual event because this week, CIS announced a date for the already much-anticipated sequel. “Dancing With the Lee County Stars” is set for Aug. 13, and this year, Pfizer will sponsor the fun. Names of the dancers haven’t been revealed yet, but it’s a good bet The Herald’s Billy Liggett will not return (he’s been humbly defeated). But don’t count out another newsroom-er joining in this year.

Joking aside, we’re promoting the event because of the many wonderful things CIS does for our schools. Funds generated this year will benefit several vital programs like Adopt-A-School, which brings community partners into each elementary school in the district. Other important programs include BackPack Pals, Book Buddies, e-mentoring, the teacher resource room ... the list goes on. The new CIS director is Heather Little, a former Herald “Citizen of the Year’ because of her work with BackPack Pals. Call her at (919) 718-5426 to find out more about this wonderful event and her even more wonderful program.

R.V. Hight Special Projects Editor R.V. Hight can be reached at hight@sanfordherald.com

would like to wish to all mothers a special Mother’s Day greeting for this Sunday. I am blessed and grateful to have a wonderful wife who is a great mother, as well as a tremendous mother and mother-in-law. And, I am grateful that my son is blessed with a great motherin-law. The bonds between a mother and her children are special — and should be cherished.

To the Editor: The unmitigated gall of columnist David Limbaugh to call President Obama disrespectful of foreign leaders and George W. Bush respectful is beyond the pale. I guess that’s why everyone hates us now. They sure didn’t like us the past eight years. Republicans have given President Obama absolutely nothing. Most presidents get that 100-day honeymoon when they take office — not Obama, at least from Republicans. They’ve said “no” to everything under the sun, even if it was once one of their proposals. You say he’s been nasty to those who oppose him? You mean the way Dick Cheney talked to Sen. Patrick Leahy? You mean like the way Republicans have talked about Obama’s “Waterloo”? Yes, Republicans and conservative talk show hosts have been very disrespectful of the president. Even Bush was treated better by liberals than Obama has been by conservatives. I’m not sure, David, but you may be more fanatical than your brother. NEIL ROTTER Sanford

To the Editor:

Mother’s Day

Disrespect to Obama has been appalling

Politicians are becoming tyrants in the U.S.

National Day of Prayer

hursday is the National Day of Prayer. Among the events is the annual YMCA Prayer Breakfast at St. Luke United Methodist Church. Also, programs are scheduled at noon at the Sanford Municipal Center flagpole and at the Veterans Memorial in Broadway. At 7 p.m., a Patriotic Music and Prayer Service will be held at East Sanford Baptist Church, with a pancake supper to precede the program in the fellowship hall. What is the National Day of Prayer? According to the National Day of Prayer website, “The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. Our Task Force is a privately funded organization whose purpose is to encourage participation on the National Day of Prayer. It exists to communicate with every individual the need for personal repentance and prayer, to create appropriate materials, and to mobilize the Christian community to intercede for America’s leaders and its families. The Task Force represents a Judeo Christian expression of the national observance, based on our understanding that this country was birthed in prayer and in reverence for the God of the Bible.” It’s great that so many people take part in National Day of Prayer activities. I do believe in the power of prayer, although there will be some people who may believe that is not a politically correct thing to say. I do respect the fact that there are those who do not believe in the Christian faith or in the power of prayer, although that is far from my own belief. For Christians, I do believe that prayer should be a part of our everyday lives. It’s important for us as individuals and for our nation. While I am pleased that one day is set aside each year for a National Day of Prayer, it seems a shame that this emphasis occurs just once a year. It is my hope that all Christians, especially on Thursday, will take time out to pray. I would recommend attendance at one of the above listed services, if you so desire. But, no matter where your life may take you on Thursday, I hope and pray that you’ll take time out to say a prayer for yourselves, your families, your churches, your communities, your nation and the world.

Border-first hallucinations

ASHINGTON — The notion that the first thing to do is “secure the border” between the United States and Mexico — and only then worry about comprehensive immigration reform — falls somewhere between hopeful fantasy and cynical cop-out. It’s a good sound bite but would be a ridiculous policy. Fact-based analysis is increasingly out of fashion, however, and so the border-first hallucination has become popular among politicians and pundits reacting to Arizona’s new “breathing while Latino” law. The measure, which has sparked angry protests nationwide, orders police to act on “reasonable suspicion” in identifying, arresting and jailing undocumented immigrants. Anyone who thinks such extremism could be quelled if the federal government would just “secure the border” really ought to visit Arizona and take a look. Or at least consult a map. Or even just read up on what is happening at the border — which, according to Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, “has never been more secure.” Border crossings by undocumented immigrants have declined sharply over the past decade. With more Border Patrol agents on duty than ever before, apprehensions of would-be immigrants along the 2,000-mile border have dropped from a peak of 1.8 million in fiscal 2000 to 556,000 in fiscal 2009. Some of the decrease may be the result of tougher border enforcement, but the weakness of the U.S. economy also could be a factor. There has been much sound and fury about Mexico’s rampant drug violence spilling over into the United States — much of it wrong, at least as far as Arizona is concerned. Sen. John McCain, who should know better, said recently that failure to secure the border “has led to violence — the worst I have ever seen.” Gov. Jan Brewer said she signed the state’s outrageous new law because of “border-related violence and crime due to illegal immigration.” But law enforcement officials in border communities say this simply is not true. Roy Bermudez, assistant police chief of the border city of Nogales, told The Arizona Republic that “we have not, thank God, witnessed any spillover violence from Mexico.” The newspaper reported — citing figures from FBI crime reports and local police agencies — that crime rates along the border have been “essentially flat for the past decade.” Violent crime is down statewide, as it is nationally. It should be pointed out there wouldn’t be any drug-related violence along either side of the border if Americans would curb their insatiable demand for illegal drugs. It also bears noting that the Mexican drug cartels procure their assault weapons on the U.S. side of the border, where just about anyone with a pulse can buy a gun.

Eugene Robinson Columnist Eugene Robinson is a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group

Still, it’s hard to argue, in principle, against making every effort to lock down the border. The problems come in figuring out how to translate principle into practice. In Nogales, the busiest Arizona crossing, there is already a big, impassable fence; the place is crawling with Border Patrol agents and other police. Most of those who cross illegally do so in remote areas, where they have to walk for many miles across scorched, unforgiving desert. Undocumented migrants already find ways to overcome daunting and potentially deadly obstacles, and it would take a lot more than rhetoric to make the border truly “secure.” An attempt to design a high-tech “virtual” fence using sensors and cameras has not gone well. The equipment, thus far, has not been able to discern people from wildlife. And even if there were a system that could alert authorities whenever an illegal immigrant had stepped onto U.S. soil, how would authorities find him or her in the vast wilderness? It would be possible to build a 2,000-milelong Berlin Wall, complete with watchtowers. But it would be stupid and counterproductive. The U.S.-Mexico relationship is vitally important, economically and politically, and the border has to be permeable enough to permit a massive legitimate daily flow of goods and people. Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, who is seeking approval to sue the state to overturn the new law, told me Monday that the only solution is comprehensive reform that provides a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants already settled here, a legal way for temporary workers to come and go, and increased quotas for Mexicans who want to immigrate permanently. The answer is not a bigger wall. And the answer surely is not Arizona’s shameful new law, which, Gordon said, “doesn’t do one thing but make our city less safe.”

Today’s Prayer I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone calls ... he will live forever. (John 6:51) PRAYER: Father, we thank You for Your Word. Help us apply it to our lives. Amen.

Bravo, Bravo, Bravo. Ms. Kasier hit the nail on the head (“Politicians are over campaigning”). Sort of. She is correct in saying that political campaigning has gotten completely out of hand. The media has turned it into big business and more of a circus than American politics has ever been. It is impossible for any politician to get elected, settle into the people’s business and do the job we hired them to do. It is impossible because they have been swept up in a whirling dervish of chaos that is the new American political game. It is possible for them to do this simply because we have allowed them to do so. Yes... we have. Ever since Mike Dukakis climbed in that tank and put on that helmet, we have been star-struck with the ridiculousness of politicians playing to the media and the media playing to the politicians. But where are we? Too busy. Too busy watching reality TV. Too busy playing video games. Too busy blaming others for our troubles. Too busy letting foreign governments buy pieces of us. What happened to the unity we all felt after Sept. 11? It was dashed on the rocks during the Bush years, and and now we find ourselves shipwrecked on a desolate island with an administration happy to keep us there. Dependent, scared, taking away a little here and giving away more there. Look to me, follow me, give me your money and your freedom and I will give you order and bread. I say it is time to clean house. Well, both houses actually ... and every state house and local political body around this great nation. No legislature will impose term limits upon themselves, so it is up to us to do it for them. The longer they stay in office, the more power they will accumulate, the more power they accumulate, and the more arrogant to the people’s needs they will become. Can replacing every incumbent politician with a political novice do any more damage than what these “experts” have delivered to us? And when the people we elect, become this lost, this blind, this deaf to our voice, then the more we will move away from our freedom and will have no choice but to follow their order. That is tyranny my friends. And so help me God, that is a yoke I will never live under. RICHARD S. BLACKWELDER Sanford

Burr easily defeats GOP challengers; Democrats jostle

Congressional members facing tough primary challenges

EDITOR’S NOTE: Full results from all state elections are posted at sanfordherald.com

RALEIGH (AP) — A half-dozen Democratic candidates jostled Tuesday for the chance to unseat North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr, who easily vanquished three GOP challengers in his bid for re-election. Unofficial results from Tuesday’s primary election showed the Republican lawmaker with 80 percent of the vote with 22 percent precincts reporting. That was enough to beat Eddie Burks of Asheboro, Brad Jones of Lake Toxaway and Larry Linney of Charlotte. Each of them had less than 10 percent of the vote. The most prominent Democratic hopefuls — former state Sen. Cal Cunningham, Chapel Hill attorney Ken Lewis and Secretary of State Elaine Marshall — have each spent more than $300,000 wooing voters. One of them needed to win 40 percent of the vote to avoid a two-person runoff, which would take place next month. Marshall led during early returns Tuesday night, tallying 39 percent of the vote. Cunningham was second with 27

percent. Despite polls indicating voter discontent with Congress, there was scant mobilization at the polls. On Tuesday night, the director of the State Board of Elections projected turnout to be slightly above 2006 levels, when only 12 percent of voters cast a primary ballot. “I was hoping for more,” said elections chief Gary Bartlett. The North Carolina race for U.S. Senate has been closely watched since the Democrats ousted Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole two years ago. Though the GOP has been gaining momentum nationwide and expanded the map to target Democratic seats, the Democrats still believe Burr is vulnerable. Burr, who spent the day in Washington, has seen weaker approval numbers than Dole did at this stage in 2008. An Elon University survey released in April showed that 37 percent of those interviewed approved of how Burr is handling his job. About 28 percent disapproved, while 35 percent didn’t know. The same poll showed that 69 percent of state adults said they disapproved of the way Con-

gress was doing its job. Voters on Tuesday echoed some of those sentiments but many Republicans said they still voted for Burr. Rey Arias, 56, a Republican restaurant owner in Cary, said he voted for the incumbent because he likes what Burr is doing in Washington and is worried about the direction of the country. “I’m not really fond of the way our country is going with all the taxes,” said Arias, who grew up in Cuba. Democrats, meanwhile, were divided about their choices. Jeanne Sumpter, a 66-year-old retired nurse from Raleigh, praised Marshall’s work but said she believes Cunningham has the best chance to beat Burr because of his background in the Army and as a lawmaker. Kim Truitt walked into the same precinct just a few minutes later with a different outlook: She wanted to see more cooperation in the Senate and thought Marshall could foster that on the job. “Women seem to be more conciliatory and interested in working on a team,” said Truitt, 55, who was laid off as a technical writer for IBM last year.

RALEIGH (AP) — Longtime Republican Rep. Howard Coble and firstterm Democratic Rep. Larry Kissell sought to fend off opponents in primary elections Tuesday as a wave of discontent filled North Carolina ballots with congressional candidates. With about one-fourth of precincts reporting, Coble led five opponents seeking to unseat him in the 6th district, which covers several central Piedmont counties. The longest-serving GOP House member in state history, he first won his seat in 1984. With even fewer precincts reporting, Kissell led his one opponent — a former volunteer for his campaign who turned against him largely because he opposed the health care overhaul bill. Two other Democratic members who faced primary opposition — Reps. G.K. Butterfield in the 1st District and Health Shuler in the 11th — won handily, according to unofficial results. Butterfield defeated Chad Larkins of Macon; Shuler defeated Aixa Wilson of Asheville. There was at least one

primary in 12 of 13 U.S. House districts in North Carolina, with the GOP holding contests for 12 of the seats. Rep. Sue Myrick was the sole Republican incumbent who avoided a primary. Unofficial results also showed that GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry won his 10th District seat, beating three other Republican opponents. Republicans were behind North Carolina’s most crowded fields for congressional races in decades. More than 40 GOP candidates filed as Republicans and unaffiliated voters voiced exasperation over what they consider out-of-control spending in Washington. That disdain contributed to why Coble, who didn’t have a Republican primary for 26 years, had five challengers. Most argued the 79-year-old Coble hadn’t been vocal enough in opposing Democratic spending and failed to carry out party principles while Republicans were in

charge of Congress. Bill Andrews, a 46-yearold security guard from China Grove, said he backs the tea party and was upset about the nation’s growing debt and what it means for his four children. Still, he said he voted for Coble. “When the Republicans take over control of Congress again, it’s going to help because he’s been there a long time,” Andrews said. Coble’s most vocal challengers included Billy Yow, a Guilford County commissioner and welldrilling company owner, Pinehurst anesthesiologist James Taylor and furniture showroom owner Cathy Hinson. Coble’s campaign had $500,000 at its disposal entering the primary, giving him a huge advantage to portray himself as a familiar incumbent who has made a career as fiscal hawk by refusing to take a congressional pension. The primary winner will take on Democrat Sam Turner.

The race between Womack and Brogan was quiet for the most part, with both candidates agreeing to keep “dirty politics” out of it. The race wasn’t without its

Challengers Dana Atkins (1,704), Gurwitch (1,694) and Lilley (1,396) rounded out the list of seven candidates vying for the three seats. Smith said she was “overwhelmed at the support,” she received from the voters, and she looked forward to working on the board for another term. “We’ve got a big job ahead,” she said. “I hope that in the next four years we can get done what

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former Sen. Dan Coats, the Washington establishment’s favored Republican, won the GOP nomination in Indiana’s Senate race on Tuesday, beating back a challenge from one candidate supported by the tea party coalition and another who is an ex-congressman. Voters in Ohio also made their choices in House and Senate primaries. In Indiana this fall, Coats — who was recruited by the National Republican Senatorial Committee — will face Democrat Brad Ellsworth, whose nomination is assured. The candidates are seeking the seat held by retiring Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh. Coats, 66, retired from

“Mark strikes me as very intelligent and someone who is very passionate about education,” Bonardi said. “I don’t foresee problems. Obviously we won’t agree on every issue, but I think we can come together and do what’s best for Lee County.” Board Chairman Bill Tatum agreed, saying “he looked forward to getting back to work.” He was disappointed, though, that Mangum lost her seat. “I’m so sorry Ellen was not elected,” he said. “The significant contributions she made to the board the people will begin to understand in the next three-to-four months.”

the Senate in 1998, has worked as a lobbyist and was U.S. ambassador to Germany under President George W. Bush. He overcame spirited challenges from four, including state Sen. Marlin Stutzman, a tea party favorite who was endorsed by South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, and former Rep. John Hostettler, who had the support of one-time presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas. Democrats quickly piled on, calling Coats a “deeply flawed candidate” and casting him as a Washington insider beholden to special interests. Turnout was exceptionally light in Indiana, Ohio and North Carolina, a possible indication that the anger fueling voters across the country over economic woes, persistently high unemployment and Congress itself wasn’t translating into votes — and, perhaps, the limited influence of the conservatives and libertarians who make up the fledgling tea party coalition. In all three states, candidates backed by Democratic and Republican leaders in Washington squared off against challengers drawing their support from elsewhere. While it’s difficult to draw concrete conclusions about the state of the country from just a few races, the results gave some idea of whether the national parties still can influence rank-and-file supporters.

STATE BRIEFS

Video gambling again on the table By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — North Carolina lawmakers just can’t seem to scratch video poker from their to-do lists. Four years after the General Assembly thought it had banned video poker gambling machines, the House and Senate could consider in the upcoming legislative session whether to try to ban an alternate form of the games or find a more profitable way to live with them. For more than a year, trial judges have blocked state agents and police from closing down socalled “sweepstakes cafes” or “business centers” where customers buy Internet or phone time but usually play computerbased games and win cash and prizes. This legal opening has led to a proliferation of the businesses, where supporters argue locals can relax after work and maybe win a few dollars or check their e-mail. Video poker opponents are repeating worries voiced before the original ban took effect in 2007: Addicted customers are blowing their paychecks on the new games and hurting their families in the process. “This is a huge problem,” said Rep. Melanie Goodwin, D-Richmond, a primary author of the 2008 law designed to close a loophole that remains

open. “They see the flashing lights and say, ’Maybe the next time I’ll win.”’ Opposition to video poker-style games has been almost unanimous at the General Assembly, which goes into session next week, but some influential senators are suggesting the only solution may be to highly regulate new sweepstakes parlor gaming and tax it heavily if it can’t be banned. “If there is no way we can stop it by law, we then should certainly collect a very, very aggressive tax, and hopefully that would also retard its use,” Senate leader Marc Basnight, DDare, said in an interview. Judges in three counties have sided for now with game distributors who argue the video screens aren’t covered by the original 2006 law or a 2008 amendment aimed at the new crop of games, because they are designed to market legal products or don’t meet the definition of gambling. While the cases are pending, the trade group for the state’s amusement machine owners have tried to persuade lawmakers video gambling machines should be legalized again. It has promoted a bill that would give the state 20 percent of the money in the machines and require state oversight and regulation the machine distributors say would provide legitimacy

for a beleaguered industry. Basnight, an ardent video poker opponent, made clear last week he doesn’t want to go back to the days of traditional video poker machines. “They have no place in North Carolina in my opinion,” he said. Video poker was tainted with suspicions in the political arena before the 2006 ban. Then-House Speaker Jim Black was one of legal video poker’s biggest supporters and campaign donations from machine distributors were investigated extensively by state election officials. Black ultimately went to federal prison for corruption unrelated to video poker. Former Buncombe County Sheriff Bobby Medford was sentenced to 15 years in prison after being convicted in 2008 of taking up to $300,000 in bribes from illegal video gambling operators while sheriff. Chase Brooks, of Alamance County, who operates a dozen sweepstakes locations statewide with hundreds of computer terminals combined, says the locales are different from the poker games. He said customers at his well-kept cafes spend on average about $27 and most win some kind of prize. The odds of winning, however, are predetermined and have nothing to do with how one plays the games. Brooks

said lawmakers should consider regulating Internet-based games because they can be monitored remotely and shut down if it’s determined the games are crooked. “The state needs to demand that,” Brooks said. “If it’s Internet-based, they can control it.” Basnight’s close ally, Sen. David Hoyle, D-Gaston, said if the state has no say, the North Carolina Education Lottery could license Internet-based video gambling machines and split profits with convenience store owners that set them up. “We ought to look at joining the party,” Hoyle said. Current Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said he believes the overwhelming number of lawmakers in the chamber would vote to reinforce the ban. Attorney General Roy Cooper’s office has been asked for suggestions on how to change the video poker law to ban games like those Brooks offers before the session ends this summer. Since the court cases are pending, however, it’s still unclear exactly how or if the law can be changed. Goodwin said it’s a complicated legal topic — one that may be difficult to resolve until there are final court rulings. “I’m not sure I can get my arms around it, either,” she said.

UNC chancellor says school to end coal use by 2020 CHAPEL HILL (AP) — The chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill says the school will stop using coal in its power plant in the next 10 years. Chancellor Holden Thorp accepted all recommendations on Tuesday that he received last week from a task force studying energy issues. The school’s cogeneration facility will test co-firing coal with biomass later this spring. By May 2020, the school aims to end all coal use. In the fall, Binghamton University in New York state made a similar pledge. In February, UNC students protested their school’s power plant as part of a national campaign by the Sierra Club. Campaign coordinator Kim Teplitzky (tuh-PLIT’-skee) says Chapel Hill’s commitment is a sizeable victory in the campaign to cut coal use on campuses.

Pastor, wife convicted on federal tax charges CHARLOTTE (AP) — The pastor of a North Carolina church and his wife have been convicted on federal income tax evasion charges. Multiple media outlets re-

ported that Anthony Jinwright of the Greater Salem City of God church and his wife were convicted of a number of charges Monday night in Charlotte. Fifty-three-year-old Anthony Jinwright was convicted of 13 of the 18 charges against him, including conspiracy, tax evasion and filing false tax returns. He faces up to 53 years in prison.

Hearing held for man who went on shooting spree WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — A hearing has started in Winston-Salem to determine if a North Carolina man who killed four people and injured five others during a shooting spree in 1988 can be released from a state psychiatric hospital. The Winston-Salem Journal reported the hearing for Michael Hayes began Monday and was expected to conclude Tuesday. Superior Court Judge Steve Balog could rule immediately or decide later. Hayes has been treated for mental illness at Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh since 1989, when a jury found him not guilty by reason of insanity. He can now spend much of his time away from the hospital, including working and making unsupervised visits with his girlfriend and their two children.

Businessman guilty of illegal contributions

WILMINGTON (AP) — A Wilmington businessman pleaded guilty Tuesday to violating three misdemeanor campaign donations laws when he funneled money to North Carolina’s governor and two state senators. New Hanover County District Court Judge John J. Carroll accepted the guilty plea from Rusty Carter, the owner of the Atlantic Corp. packaging company.

Carter was fined $5,000 and sentenced to two years of unsupervised probation. The fine was paid to the New Hanover County Schools. Carter was charged with making illegal campaign contributions to Gov. Beverly Perdue, Senate leader Marc Basnight and Sen. Julia Boseman. Dressed in a dark suit and Carolina blue tie, Carter did not speak during

the hearing except to answer the judge’s questions. He didn’t speak to reporters after the hearing. The state’s Board of Elections investigated Carter and his employees after he contacted them in March when questions were raised about contributions to Perdue, Basnight and Boseman. According to Tom Old, an assistant district attorney in New Hanover

County, more than a dozen employees at Carter’s company contributed more than $175,000 to the three campaigns since 2003. Carter’s lawyers said the employees were given a bonus knowing that some of it would be contributed to political campaigns. State law caps individual campaign contributions at $4,000 and businesses cannot contribute directly or indirectly to a candidate.

Rescuers pray for no more victims in Tenn. floods

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The dark waters of the Cumberland River slowly started to ebb Tuesday as residents who frantically fled the deadly flash floods returned home to find mud-caked floors and soggy furniture. Rescuers prayed they would not find more bodies as the floodwaters receded. The river and its tributaries had flooded parts of middle Tennessee after a recordbreaking weekend storm dumped more than a foot of rain in two days, rapidly spilling water into homes, roads and some of Music City’s best-known attractions. At least 29 people were killed in Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky by either floodwaters or tornadoes. Water submerged parts the Grand Ole Opry House, considered by many to be the heart of country music, and the nearby Opryland Hotel could be closed for up to six months.

Mummified baby corpse missing from NH grave site CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The mummified body of a baby, kept by a family for nearly a century before a judge ordered the remains to be buried, has been removed from a cemetery, police said Tuesday. A cemetery visitor on Monday reported that a grave appeared to have been unearthed, police Sgt. John Thomas said. The corpse of “Baby John” has not been recovered, he said. The mummified body had been kept for years by Charles Peavey. He had said the family had the mummy, possibly the stillborn son of a great-great-uncle, for 80 to 90 years and considered it a family heirloom. Police learned of it in 2006 after Peavey’s then4-year-old niece mentioned it at her day care center. Authorities took the 18-inch mummy in for testing, and Peavey went to probate court to get custody of it.

Report: Oil washes ashore on island MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — The winds and waves eased in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, an encouraging development for crews trying clean up a massive oil spill, yet an official with BP PLC said more than 20 boats were looking into an unconfirmed report of oil coming ashore in Louisiana. People along the beaches and bayous waited anxiously to find out just how badly it might damage the delicate coast. A Coast Guard official said forecasts showed the oil wasn’t expected to come ashore for at least three more days and that the calm weather was allowing cleanup crews to put out more containment equipment and repair some of the booms that were damaged in the rough weather. They also hope to again try to burn some of the oil on the water’s surface. “We do have the gift of time. It’s a gift of a little bit of time. I’m not resting,” U.S. Coast Guard Rear Adm. Mary Landry said. BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said boats were dispatched to Chandeleur Island to look for the oil coming ashore, but so far haven’t been able to find it. The Associated Press reported Thursday that some oil washed ashore at the mouth of the Mississippi River along the Louisiana coast.

gallons a day since an April 20 explosion aboard the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon that killed 11 workers. The rig was owned by Transocean Ltd. “The waiting is the hardest part,” said Dodie Vegas, 44, who rents rooms in her Bridge Side Cabins complex in Grand Isle, the southernmost tip of Louisiana. She said 10 guests have already canceled their rooms, worried about the oil slick. “I understand their point. You can’t be mean about it,” she said. “That’s their week off, and if they can’t get another week, they’ve got to decide where they’re going.” BP has been unable to shut off the well, but crews have reported progress with a new method for cutting the amount of oil that reaches the surface. They’re using a remotely operated underwater vehicle to pump chemicals called dispersants into the oil as it pours from the well, to break it up before it rises. Results were encouraging but the approach is still being evaluated, BP and Coast Guard officials said. The latest satellite image of the slick, taken Sunday night, indicates that it has shrunk since last week, but that only means some of the oil has gone underwater.

A bird floats in the water dead with a light oil sheen of oil on it in Chandeleur Sound, La., Tuesday. So far only sheens have reached some coastal waters. The oil has lingered in the Gulf for two weeks, despite an uncapped seafloor gusher. The slow movement has given crews and volunteers time to lay boom in front of shorelines, an effort stymied by choppy seas over the weekend. Rig operator BP PLC continued to try to cap one of the smaller of three leaks, which if successful, could make it easier to install a containment system over the well. BP’s chief executive said a containment dome designed to cover the principal leak will be on the seabed Thursday, and will be hooked up to a drill ship over the weekend. CEO Tony Hayward stressed to reporters in Washington that the procedure had never been

done before at a depth of nearly a mile below the water’s surface. “So we’ll undoubtedly encounter some issues as we go through that process,” he said. “But if that was a good outcome, then you would have the principal leak contained by the early part of next week. But there’s no guarantees.” The plan is to cover the leak with a 98-ton concrete-and-metal box structure known as a cofferdam, and funnel the oil to the surface. Hayward also said that chemical dispersants being used on the oil have significantly reduced the amount of oil coming to the surface. The uncertainty has been trying for people who live along a swath of the Gulf from Louisiana to Florida. The undersea well has been spewing 200,000

Times Square bomb suspect charged with terrorism

NEW YORK (AP) — A Pakistani-born U.S. citizen was charged Tuesday with terrorism and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction in the botched Times Square bombing. The government said he confessed to receiving explosives training in Pakistan. Faisal Shahzad — the son of an air force officer in a wealthy Pakistani family — was arrested Monday night, pulled off a plane that was about to fly to the Middle East. According to the complaint, Shahzad confessed to buying an SUV, rigging it with a homemade bomb and driving it Saturday night into Times Square, where he tried to detonate it. In Pakistan, intelligence officials said several people had been detained in connection with the Times Square case. But a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press the FBI is not aware of any arrests in Pakistan related to the case. Shahzad admitted to receiving bomb-making training in Waziristan, the lawless tribal region where the Pakistani Taliban operates with near impunity, but there is no mention of al-Qaida in the complaint filed in Manhattan federal

Pakistan makes arrests over failed bomb

In this photo from the social networking site Orkut.com, a man who was identified by neighbors in Connecticut as Faisal Shahzad, is shown. Shahzad was arrested at a New York airport on charges that he drove a bomb-laden SUV meant to cause a fireball in Times Square, federal authorities said. court. The complaint said he returned from Pakistan in February, telling an immigration agent that he had been visiting his parents for five months and had left his wife behind. “Based on what we know so far, it is clear that this was a terrorist plot aimed at murdering Americans in one of the busiest places in our country,” Attorney General Eric Holder said in Washington. Shahzad was on board a Dubai-bound flight that was taxiing away from the gate at Kennedy Airport late Monday when the plane was turned around

and federal authorities took him into custody, law enforcement officials said. Federal officials had placed him on a “no-fly” list hours before his arrest. Holder said Shahzad was talking to investigators, providing them with valuable information, The FBI read Shahzad his constitutional rights after he provided the information, and he continued to cooperate, FBI Deputy Director John Pistole said. Shahzad’s court appearance Tuesday was delayed, in part because he was cooperating with authorities. President Barack Obama

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani authorities have detained several people in connection with the bombing attempt in New York’s Times Square, intelligence officials said Tuesday. Authorities here also said the suspect detained in the U.S. in the failed bombing, Faisal Shahzad, came from a wealthy family in northwest Pakistan. Law enforcement officials in Washington, D.C., said Tuesday that the Pakistani-born U.S. citizen had attended a terror training camp in Pakistan. He was charged with terrorism. Shahzad was arrested late Monday aboard a flight that was headed to the Middle East for trying to blow up the sport utility vehicle in Times Square on Saturday evening. Shahzad is the son of retired Air Vice Marshall Baharul Haq, a former top Pakistani air force officer and deputy director general of the civil aviation authority, according to Kifyat Ali, a cousin of Shahzad’s father. Ali spoke with reporters outside a two-story home in an upscale part of Peshawar, the main city in the northwest, owned by the family. Ali said the family had yet to be officially informed of Shahzad’s arrest in the United States. Ali called Shahzad’s detention “a conspiracy so the (Americans) can bomb more Pashtuns.” It was a reference to a major ethnic group in Peshawar and the nearby tribal areas of Pakistan and southwest Afghanistan. He insisted that Shahzad “was never linked to any political or religious party here.” He said Shahzad often stayed in Peshawar when he came back from the United States. On her social networking page, Shahzad’s wife, Huma Mian, lists her languages as English, Pashto, Urdu and French, her religion as Muslim and her political view as “nonpolitical.” Her favorite television shows were Everybody Loves Raymond and Friends.

said “hundreds of lives” may have been saved Saturday night by the quick action of ordinary citizens and law enforcement authorities who raised the alarm about the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder rigged with a crude bomb made of gasoline, propane and fireworks. The SUV, which had begun smoking, was parked on a bustling street in Times Square. “As Americans and as a nation, we will not be terrorized. We will not cower in fear. We will not be intimi-

dated,” Obama said. Shahzad, 30, became a naturalized U.S. citizen last year shortly before traveling to Pakistan, where he had a wife, according to law enforcement officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation. Investigators hadn’t established an immediate connection to the Pakistani Taliban — which had claimed responsibility for the botched bombing

in three videos — or any foreign terrorist groups, a law enforcement official told the AP. “He’s claimed to have acted alone, but these are things that have to be investigated,” the official said. Shahzad is the son of a former top Pakistani air force officer and deputy director general of the civil aviation authority, according to Kifyat Ali, the cousin of Faisal Shahzad’s father. Ali told reporters outside a two-story home in an upmarket part of Peshawar, the main city in northwestern Pakistan, that the family had yet to be officially informed of Shahzad’s arrest in the United States. “This is a conspiracy so the (Americans) can bomb more Pashtuns,” Ali said, referring to a major ethnic group in Peshawar and the nearby tribal areas of Pakistan and southwest Afghanistan. “He was never linked to any political or religious party here.” He said Faisal often stayed in Peshawar when he came back from the United States. His mother and father, retired Air Vice Marshall Baharul Haq, had left the house for an undisclosed location because of the media interest. One man detained in Karachi was identified only as Tauseef and was a friend of Shahzad, according to one official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Pakistani intelligence officers insist on anonymity as a matter of policy. Media reports described some of the others detained as relatives of Shahzad.

DAVID LETTERMAN

E-BRIEFS

Producer sentenced in blackmail plot By JENNIFER PELTZ Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — The former CBS television producer who tried to shake down David Letterman over the comic icon’s office affairs started a six-month jail sentence Tuesday, closing a case that opened Letterman’s behind-thescenes behavior to public scrutiny. Carrying a Bible to a court date he knew would end in time behind bars, Robert “Joe” Halderman declined to speak before he was led from a Manhattan court in handcuffs to begin his jail term, to be followed by 1,000 hours of community service. He agreed to both when he pleaded guilty in March to attempted grand larceny. Letterman wasn’t on hand for Halderman’s sentencing Tuesday, and a spokesman for him declined to comment afterward. But throughout the six-month saga, Letterman made himself a presence in the case, if not the courtroom. He revealed the blackmail plot — and the workplace dalliances at the heart of it — before prosecutors unveiled the case. He dispatched his lawyers to many of Halderman’s court appearances with statements in hand for the press, and Letterman himself commented during

Robert “Joe” Halderman leaves Manhattan criminal court in New York. Former television producer Robert “Joe’’ Halderman faces a six-month jail term for attempting to blackmail David Letterman by threatening to go public with details of his sex life. Halderman, 52, pleaded guilty to attempted grand larceny in a plea deal that spared him a potential 15-year prison term. a TV appearance last week on the toll the disclosures had taken on his personal life. Halderman, 52, admitted in March that he demanded $2 million in hush money last fall to keep from revealing personal information about Letterman. Halderman buttressed the threat with information he’d culled from peeking at a former girlfriend’s diary, which described a relationship with Letterman, her boss, officials have said. Besides being stung by jealousy, Halderman also was under financial pressure, his lawyer has said. Lawyers for Halderman’s ex-wife have said in court

papers that he was struggling with money in the aftermath of their divorce, and Halderman told a Letterman lawyer in a secretly taped conversation that he needed money to visit his son. “Obviously, it was a very difficult part of his life,” Halderman’s lawyer, Gerald Shargel, said Tuesday, adding that Halderman made no excuses for his conduct. Halderman said when he pleaded guilty that he felt “great remorse” for the scheme. The case spurred Letterman to disclose on-air that he’d had sex with women on his staff, stunning viewers, stripping away

his well-guarded privacy and initially tarnishing his good-guy image. Viewers have stuck with Letterman, whose show averages 4 million viewers this season, up 3 percent over last season, according to the Nielsen Co. Letterman didn’t have to compete against Jay Leno for several months this season. But the scandal dealt Letterman an emotional blow. “You take a look at the explosion, and it knocks you down,” he said Friday on “Live! With Regis and Kelly.” Letterman married longtime girlfriend Regina Lasko last year. They have a 6-year-old son. Halderman, who was a producer at CBS’ “48 Hours Mystery,” no longer has his job there. The network, which also hosts Letterman’s show, has declined to say whether he quit or was fired. Shargel declined to discuss whether Halderman has been working or elaborate on his career plans after his release. During a decades-long television career, Halderman has been nominated for Emmy Awards for work on pieces on such issues as the siege of Sarajevo and a bloody assault on a Russian school. He was hit by rubber bullets during a demonstration in Argentina while working for CNN in the early 1980s.

Coroner: Haim died of pneumonia complications LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Corey Haim died from pneumonia complicated by an enlarged heart, bad lungs and narrowed blood vessels, while drugs found in his system Haim played no role in his death, the Los Angeles County coroner said Tuesday. Haim, 38, died of natural causes from “communityacquired pneumonia” along with lung, heart and blood vessel problems, according to an autopsy report. Low levels of eight drugs, including both prescription and over-the-counter medications, were found in his system along with marijuana, coroner’s spokesman Craig Harvey said. “But nothing was at a level that would have contributed to his death,” Harvey said. They included common cold and flu medications, such as ibuprofen and a cough-suppressant, he said. Haim, who had struggled with drug problems throughout his life, died March 10 after collapsing in his mother’s apartment. Haim was ill with flulike symptoms before his death, and police said he was taking over-thecounter and prescription medications. “The pneumonia is what killed him,” Harvey said. Mark Heaslip, the actor’s agent, did not return a phone message seeking

comment Tuesday. California Attorney General Jerry Brown said in April that Haim employed “doctor shopping” to obtain 553 prescription pills in the two months before his death. Brown called Haim — the star of 1980s films such as “The Lost Boys” and “License to Drive” — a poster child for prescription drug abuse. He said Haim obtained powerful sedatives such as Valium and Xanax and painkillers such as Vicodin and Oxycontin. However, no Oxycontin was found in his body, Harvey said. He noted that Haim’s heart was abnormally large and factored in his death. “His heart was 530 grams. The average normal heart weighs 300 grams,” Harvey said.

Doctor: Bret Michaels released from hospital PHOENIX (AP) — Poison frontman Bret Michaels has been released from a Phoenix hospital and is expected to make a full recovery after suffering a brain hemorrhage last month. The lead doctor treating Michaels said Tuesday that he recommends Michaels wait at least four to six weeks before resuming normal activity. Dr. Joseph Zabramski of the Barrow Neurological Institute wouldn’t say when Michaels was released or whether he was sent home or to a rehabilitation facility. Zabramski says the 47-year-old contestant on “The Celebrity Apprentice” is receiving therapy. Two tests showed that Michaels did not suffer an aneurysm, so doctors are unsure what caused the bleeding.

Mass. senator’s daughter gets CBS ’Early Show’ job BOSTON (AP) — Former “American Idol” contestant Ayla (AY’-lah) Brown has a new job even before she graduates from Boston College. The daughter of Massachusetts Republican Sen. Scott Brown is serving as CBS “Early Show” contributor. She’s producing pieces focused on the youth audience. Executive Producer David Friedman said Tuesday he became interested in Brown when she sang on the morning show. She had previously been an “American Idol” semifinalist. He says, “You can’t create the next Katie Couric; you just have to find talent that you think can develop into something.” The senator famously embarrassed his elder daughter on election night in January, when he told a nationwide audience she was single.

Factory orders, home sales contracts up

Volcanic ash dealing uncertainty to air travelers

WASHINGTON (AP) — A surprisingly busy month for U.S. factories and a surge in home buying are the latest signs that the economic recovery is picking up. Orders to U.S. factories rose 1.3 percent in March, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. That was much better than the 0.1 percent decline analysts had expected. Excluding the volatile transportation sector, orders gained 3.1 percent, the biggest increase since August 2005. Widespread activity in many industries offset a big drop in commercial aircraft. The increase offers further evidence that U.S. manufacturers are helping drive the recovery. A separate report showed that more people signed contracts on previously owned homes in March than was expected. The jump was in large part the result of tax incentives that have propelled the housing market this spring. The National Association of Realtors said its seasonally adjusted index of sales agreements for previously occupied homes rose 5.3 percent from a month earlier to a reading of 102.9. It was the highest level since October and a 21 percent increase from the same month a year earlier. The index provides an early measurement of sales activity

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., accompanied by House Majority Whip James Clyburn of S.C., left, and Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., speaks to reporters following a meeting with economic advisers, Tuesday on Capitol Hill in Washington. because there is usually a one- to two- month lag between a sales contract and a completed deal. The two reports offered more evidence that the recovery is strengthening. They also follow a government report Monday that said consumers stepped up their spending in March by the largest amount in five months. As evidence of that trend, MasterCard Inc. on Tuesday said its first-quarter profit jumped 24 percent as more shoppers are feeling comfortable enough about the economy and their jobs to reach for the plastic again. But Wall Street appeared to be more focused on the growing debt crisis in Europe. Stocks dropped

sharply around the world over concerns that European countries would fail to approve a $144 billion bailout package for Greece. By early afternoon the Dow Jones industrial average was down more than 230 points, erasing a 143-point gain on Monday. At the moment, manufacturing is the leading star of the economic rebound and economists are predicting that will continue for the rest of the year, helping to offset weakness in other areas. Manufacturers are benefiting not only from the rebound in the United States but also rising demand for U.S. exports as the global economy recovers at a faster rate than had been expected.

WEATHER TRIVIA

Factory orders have jumped in 11 of the past 12 months, and economist anticipate more gains in the coming months. “Businesses slammed on the brakes too hard in reducing inventories during the recession,” said Tim Quinlan, an economist at Wells Fargo Securities. “Now that the recession is over, the shelves are bare and that means they have to ramp up their orders to restock. We are seeing pretty broadbased strength in a lot of industries.” But Quinlan said factory orders are only 44 percent of their pre-recession peak from July 2008. Even with manufacturers producing more, Quinlan expects high unemployment and low housing values to slow economic growth. “We are not out of the woods yet in terms of the job market,” he said. “The biggest ongoing burden for the economy is that about 10 percent of the workforce is out of a job and another 10 percent are not working as much as they would like to work. That will be a drag on growth.” For March, demand for durable goods, items expected to last at least three years, fell 0.6 percent, a better showing than a preliminary report on April 23 which had put the decline in durable goods at 1.3 percent.

DUBLIN (AP) — Iceland’s clouds of volcanic ash are menacing European air traffic again, but transport chiefs insisted Tuesday they are learning from last month’s crisis and won’t let the hard-to-measure emissions ground their continent again. Rising volcanic activity spurred aviation authorities in Ireland, northwest Scotland and the Faeroe Islands to shut down services Tuesday after a two-week hiatus. Their airports reopened several hours later, once the densest ash clouds had passed over their airports and back over the Atlantic. But soon a new wave of engine-damaging ash was approaching British airspace, forcing Britain’s Civil Aviation Authority to announce that airports in Scotland and Northern Ireland had to cancel all services indefinitely, beginning at 7 a.m. (0600GMT) Wednesday. The British authority said its forecasters had determined that ash in United Kingdom airspace “has increased in density.” It said the prevailing winds would probably continue to push the threat southward, “potentially affecting airports in the northwest of England and North Wales tomorrow” — but missing the key European air hubs in London.

Stocks slump as fears of Grecian debt worsen NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks plunged around the world Tuesday as fears spread that Europe’s attempt to contain Greece’s debt crisis would fail. The euro fell to its lowest point against the dollar in a year. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 225 points, its biggest drop in three months. The slide erased a 143-point gain from Monday. The Dow and broader indexes each fell more than 2 percent. Meanwhile, Treasury prices rose on increased demand for safe investments. Stocks have seesawed in the past week as European countries’ efforts to agree on a bailout package for Greece proceeded in fits and starts. An agreement finally came together over the weekend, but its ballooning size of $144 billion has investors worried that Europe would have an even tougher time assembling an aid package if a larger country such as Spain or Portugal were to get in trouble. Traders are concerned that problems in Greece and other countries

could spill over to the rest of Europe and in turn, the U.S.

Iran’s president defiant in face of new sanctions NEW YORK (AP) — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that his country won’t be deterred by the threat of new U.N. economic sanctions over its nuclear program. Ahmadinejad spoke at a New York news conference Tuesday as the U.S. and its allies were negotiating for U.N. Security Council approval of further sanctions to pressure Tehran to suspend its uranium enrichment program, which Western powers allege is aimed at building atomic bombs. The Iranian president said new sanctions would mean that U.S. President Barack Obama has given up on his campaign to engage Iran diplomatically. “While we do not welcome sanctions, we do not fear them either,” Ahmadinejad said. “We feel that the U.S. government will be damaged more than us by those sanctions.” Despite Iran’s defiance, major powers on the U.N. Security Council appeared undeterred.

Iraq’s Shiites unite to try to form new government BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s two largest Shiite electoral blocs announced Tuesday they have formed an alliance that gives them a strong chance of setting up the next government, though they have yet to work out the contentious question of who would become prime minister. The coalition deal between Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s State of Law coalition and the conservative Shiite Iraqi National Alliance leaves them just four parliamentary seats shy of a ruling majority. The union could cement Shiite domination of Iraq’s government and further alienate minority Sunnis who lost their positions of privilege with the fall of their patron Saddam Hussein in the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. Such an outcome threatens to stir further violence at an especially fragile moment in Iraq as American troops prepare to withdraw. It could also ensure that neighboring Shiite power Iran maintains influence in Iraqi affairs. The coalition deal was announced at a news conference, but the question of who would be prime minister could threaten to derail their plans to form a government.

POLICE: SLAIN UVA PLAYER MAY HAVE BEEN THREATENED

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Investigators are looking into whether a University of Virginia lacrosse player found dead in her apartment Monday had been threatened some time before the killing, a police official said Tuesday. Charlottesville Police Chief Tim Longo said investigators had recovered a computer that belonged to the slain woman and are checking it for evidence. Men’s lacrosse team player George Huguely, 22, was arrested Monday and charged with first-degree murder in the death of Yeardley Love, who was also 22. Documents say Huguely told police he kicked in Love’s bedroom door early Monday, then shook her and hit her head repeatedly against a wall. He also told police that he had communicated with Love by email and took her computer, according to an affidavit filed with a search warrant. Later he told police where to find it, the affidavit says. Longo said police are interviewing friends, relatives and teammates of the pair “to see to what extent there’s truth to” reports that Huguely may have threatened Love.

President Barack Obama has called the law “misguided.”

Jackets pick up critical victory By ALEX PODLOGAR alexp@sanfordherald.com

CARY — Win again, and they’re in. The Lee County Yellow Jackets continued their state playoff push with a 6-2 victory over Panther Creek to remain in the driver’s seat for at least the final

postseason berth out of the Tri9 Conference. Nick Durazo struck out eight in 4 2/3 innings and allowed just one earned run as Alex Furl had three hits and Carson Wilson had two hits and drove in three for Lee County. The victory is the third straight for the Jackets (11-10,

7-8), who snapped a skid in which they lost five out of six games with a convincing 9-3 win over Southern Lee a week ago. Lee County rallied from a 5-0 deficit to beat Cary 6-5 last Friday. Now, with a win over Fuquay-Varina at home on Friday, the Jackets will return to

the playoffs. “If we win on Friday, we’re in,” said Lee County coach Charlie Spivey. Zach Bradford also had two hits for the Jackets, who got one hit apiece from Dillon Frye, Garrett Verrilli, Cody Palmer and Trent Clark, who worked 2 1/2 innings to pick up the save.

Woods trying to hit his stride By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The 18th hole on the TPC Sawgrass is not nearly as daunting without wind, which was the case on a muggy Tuesday morning when Tiger Woods set up over the tee shot with a 3-wood in hand. The ball never had a chance to stay dry. It started down the left side with a severe hook and splashed down some 20 yards to the left of the water’s edge. With a mild curse under his breath, Woods asked his caddie for another ball. It was his fifth ball in the water during nine holes of practice at The Players Cham-

A former Titleist tour rep is offering Woods’ irons on eBay with a minimum opening bid of $250,000. Woods said Tuesday that while those might be his clubs, they weren’t the ones he used in winning the U.S. Open, British Open, PGA Championship and Masters in a span of 294 days. Steve Mata tells a different story. He says when he swapped out irons in New York in the summer of 2001, Woods told him to keep the previous set.

SPORTS SCENE

Gordon settles for another 2nd SASL RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Jeff Gordon crossed the finish line in silence, unsure of what to say after losing yet another race this season. The four-time NASCAR champion remained winless on the season after Kyle Busch beat him with a late pass Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway. Crew chief Steve Letarte was the first to finally speak, breaking the silence with a brief pep talk to the deflated No. 24 crew. “Good job guys, another good car,” Letarte said on the radio. “We’re going to get him one.” Eventually, the law of averages is going to even out and Gordon is going to get to Victory Lane. Until then, though, he’ll have to suffer through frustrating near-misses that have pushed Gordon’s losing streak to 39 races. His last win was at Texas last year, and he’s actually won just one of his last 87 races. But he’s sure come close quite often. Saturday night was his eighth secondplace finish since last year’s Texas victory. “It’s a little disappointing we haven’t won some races yet,” Gordon said. “If we keep doing this, those will come. We’ve got to keep putting ourselves in position.” Gordon has done a great job of doing that this year, which so far appears to be

Kyle Busch (18) goes past Jeff Gordon (24) in the final laps of the Crown Royal NASCAR Sprint Cup race at the Richmond International Raceway in Richmond, Va., Saturday. a resurgence after two subpar seasons. He went down to the wire in an intense 2007 championship battle with teammate Jimmie Johnson, then followed it with a winless 2008. Although he finished third in last year’s final standings, he was clearly behind both Johnson and Mark Martin, the two Hendrick Motorsports drivers who beat him in the standings. This year, Gordon has been the late leader in four races only to lose because of cautions and restarts. He’s led a series-high 599 laps, but instead of wins, he’s has settled for a pair of second-place finishes and a pair of thirds. Although anxious to get back to Victory Lane, Gordon is pleased with his performance. “We’re a team that’s made huge strides, in my opinion, from last year,” he said. “Even though we finished third in the points

HEG>C< HE:8>6A

last year, I don’t feel we were near as competitive as we are right now. That’s what I’m excited about. We’re leading laps, a bunch of laps, at a lot of different types of tracks. I think our team is really on top of our game.” Gordon led 144 of the 400 laps at Richmond, including 123 straight in a race that had just three early cautions before a flurry of late activity. With three more cautions over the final 36 laps, Gordon figured it would be too difficult to stop the late pass, particularly if Busch could put himself in contention. Busch dominated the early portion of the race, leading 221 of the first 229 laps while picking off traffic one-by-one until only eight cars remained on the lead lap. Two debris cautions helped even out the field, and Busch’s car faded to give Gordon control of the race.

But Busch was lurking in second on the final restart, with five laps remaining — a short burst of racing that didn’t suit the strength of Gordon’s Chevrolet. He knew Busch would be better on the restart, and chose the inside line for the final go. “Kyle was just unbelievable on the restarts,” Gordon said. “I followed him enough times early in the race to watch him run around the bottom on the inside. I knew that if I gave him the inside, he was going to drive by me faster than he did on the outside. I was struggling on that last restart. Just an unfortunate sequence of cautions for us that wasn’t to our favor and we finished second.” It capped a week in the spotlight for Gordon, who had an uncharacteristic feud with Johnson. The two tangled in consecutive races at Texas and Talladega, leading Gordon to take a rare public swipe at his teammate last week. Johnson took the blame for their Talladega scrap, but team owner Rick Hendrick moderated a midweek conference call in which he ordered the fourtime champions to settle their differences. That Gordon chose to be so vocal, though, showed a fiery side that’s been missing of late. Although he ranks sixth in all-time wins (82), he hasn’t won a championship since 2001.

Celtics GM seen tossing towel as distraction Video designatedhitter. wordpress.com

Cleveland Cavaliers’ Anderson Varejao, from Brazil, reacts after being called for a foul in the third quarter of Game 2 against the Boston Celtics in the second round of an NBA basketball playoff series Monda in Cleveland. The Celtics won 194-86 to even the series at 1-1.

Nationals promote No. 1 pick Strasburg

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — A nuisance as an NBA player, Danny Ainge is still being a pest as general manager. Boston’s GM was spotted in TV replays throwing a white towel in the air to distract Cleveland forward J.J. Hickson at the free-throw line in the third quarter of Game 2 on Monday night. Ainge, sitting in the first seat to the right of Cleveland’s basket, is seen reaching behind the stanchion to grab one of the ball boy’s towels as Hickson prepares to shoot. Ainge then tosses the towel into the air on Hickson’s second attempt with 1:53 remaining. At the time, the Celtics were leading 80-57 on their way to winning 104-86 and evening the Eastern Conference semifinal at one game apiece. Hickson made his second free throw.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Stephen Strasburg dominated in Double-A. Now it’s time to see what he can do at the next level. The Washington Nationals promoted their No. 1 overall draft pick to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, keeping him on pace for a major league debut in the next month or so. “We thought it was time for him to take the next step,” general manager Mike Rizzo said, “get to Triple-A, see more veteran, seasoned hitters, little tighter strike zones, that type of thing, and take the next step in his development.” Strasburg went 3-1 with a 1.64 ERA in five starts with Double-A Harrisburg, striking out an Eastern League-high 27 and walking six in 22 innings. He ranked first in the league in strikeout-to-walk ratio and strikeouts per nine innings.

Legendary Tigers broadcaster Harwell, 92, dies

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers say longtime broadcaster Ernie Harwell has died. He was 92. Harwell called Tigers games for more than four decades and was one of Michigan’s most beloved sports figures. Spokesman Brian Britten said

Tuesday that the team learned about Harwell’s death from his agent. Harwell announced in September that he had been diagnosed with inoperable cancer of the bile duct. Harwell started with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1948 and continued with

the New York Giants and Baltimore Orioles before joining the Tigers in 1960. The Baseball Hall of Fame honored Harwell in 1981 with the Ford C. Frick Award, given annually to a broadcaster for major contributions to baseball.

how far she’s come in such a short period of time.” She’s doing pretty well, too. In her current point standings, Galyean is second in her class (1B) with 13 points. She also finished second at the recent Clash of the Carolinas event, which gave her eight points in her point standings to put her in second. “Her level of success has been greater than I ever expected,” said Cynthia. “She’s stayed between second and third in a lot of her races. She’s competing against adults, too. The most important part, though, is that she’s having a good time with it. She loves it out there.” Races are held on the first Saturday of every month at the Lee County Mud Motorsports Complex and the third Saturday of every month in Marion, S.C. At the end of the year, Marion will host the North vs. South Cham-

pionship in which Makayla will be participating. As far as her future in the sport, Makayla plans on continuing in the sport as long as she keeps on enjoying herself. “I really like it,” said Makayla Galyean. “It’s a lot of fun.” Cynthia says she doesn’t get too concerned with safety in the sport because of its family-friendly environment. Makayla’s father sits beside his daughter in every single race. “Safety is one of those things that is a concern in every sport,” said Cynthia. “It’s a concern in swimming, in gymnastics and in any other sport. Makayla doesn’t really travel too fast when she starts and her father is right there beside in the truck. It’s a familyoriented sport and we do it as good family fun. We all enjoy it and we enjoy seeing Makayla being successful in it.”

Makayla’s mother, Cynthia Galyean — also the team mother for Sweet and Sassy Racing — says that her daughter told her that she wanted to compete in the truck mud events when she turned 8, the qualifying age for drivers. Prior to competing, Makayla was participating in power wheel divisions and go-cart divisions for younger drivers. When she turned 8, Makayla kept her promise and started driving. “She enjoys watching her uncle race,” said Cynthia Galyean. “She’s been wanting to do it for a while. She told me that once she turned 8, she was going to compete. She started off with the power wheels and then moved to the go-carts. Now, she’s doing the trucks. We’re very pleased with

pionship. He lost two in the water on the front nine the day before. There have been flashes of brilliance, as always, but far more shots that hardly resemble golf from the world’s best player. “It’s just a matter of ... getting my mind where it needs to be,” Woods said. “And certainly, I’ve made a lot of adjustments in my life, and I’ve gone through a lot — a lot. Just trying to make sure I get everything organized so I can play.” Woods is capable of making some form of history at just about any golf tournament, and The Players Championship is no exception. Only now, the

question is whether Woods will miss the cut in consecutive tournaments for the first time in his career. He didn’t just miss the cut last week at Quail Hollow, he missed it by a mile. With a 79 in the second round — his second-highest score in his career — Woods posted his highest 36-hole total (153) in 14 years on the PGA Tour. Two days of practice this week did little to change the notion that his game — not to mention his head — is not in a good spot. After three days of rampant speculation that he would ditch his swing coach, Woods said that nothing has changed with Hank Haney, who was not at Sawgrass. Haney rarely goes to tournaments outside the majors. “I’m still working with

him, yeah,” Woods said. How did he tie for fourth at Augusta National in his first tournament in five months, then miss the cut by eight shots in his next start? Woods has hit into the trees even during good times. The surprise was the mental mistakes he made, whether it was failing to leave a chip shot below the hole, or powering putts when he should know how

stun gun probe hit the teenager, who stumbled forward, slid face-first on the grass and stayed down for about 30 seconds before standing up and walking off the field. “From the preliminary look at it, it appears that the officer was within the policy,” said Vanore, adding that he did not know what may have transpired before the video started. “He was attempting to make an arrest and the male was attempting to flee.” Police said the teen is charged with defiant trespass, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. His name was not being released because of his age. The department is reviewing whether its officers should be on the field wrangling fans who aren’t threatening anyone, Vanore said. “Should we be on the field at all? I think that’s what’s being looked at,” Vanore said. “I’m not sure we should be chasing people around the field.”

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A city police officer who used a Taser to subdue a teenager who ran onto the field during a Phillies game has the backing of his chief, but the department is reviewing whether officers should be involved in such on-field confrontations in the future. Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey reviewed video of the arrest and felt the officer acted within department guidelines, which allow officers to use Tasers to arrest fleeing suspects, said police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore. The department’s internal affairs unit is investigating, Vanore said. The teen leapt onto the field at the top of the eighth inning during Monday night’s game against St. Louis. He ran around in circles in the outfield, waving a white towel, and dodged two security officers. The police officer chased him for about 30 seconds before the

Woods said it’s getting better, perhaps because “it couldn’t get any worse.” Physical or mental? “All of the above,” he said. “Didn’t hit the ball very good, didn’t think myself around the golf course very well, and didn’t putt well, didn’t chip well. I teed up the ball well. I didn’t have any balls fall off tees. It just kind of got worse from there.”

BRIDGE HAND

Victim of herpes infection feels consumed by anger DEAR ABBY: I recently got genital herpes. I am very depressed over it and am experiencing a lot of difficulties, not to mention the expense. The man I caught the virus from, “Jack,” claims he didn’t know he had herpes. I don’t know what to believe, except that I should be compensated. My life has been destroyed. I hate the fact that this happened and, to top it off, Jack has changed his phone number! Is this a criminal act? Should I take action? — OUTRAGED IN MISSOURI

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Don’t be too sure of yourself or you will make a costly mistake. Much can be accomplished if you are diligent about why and how you do things. You must take action and address every detail so you receive the credit you deserve. Don’t fall short this year because someone has let you down personally. Your numbers are 6, 13, 21, 25, 32, 40, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take the edge off your stress by doing something physically challenging or that can boost your confidence. Interacting with people who offer a different slant on things will help you formulate new plans with greater potential for success. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): An emotional matter that revolves around home and family will raise issues that need to be addressed. Decide what’s important to you and what you must discard in order to ease tension and keep things amicable. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Inconsistency and uncertainty are the enemies. Don’t let anger or someone’s discontent sway you from what you know in your heart must be done. This is the time to think, make your plans, do your own thing and discover what life has to offer you. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Show stability by sticking to your plans and following through with promises. Older and younger people in your life will be counting on you and you mustn’t let them down, no matter what. Avoid overspending. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be inclined to react harshly toward anyone who disagrees with you. Emotional issues will be raised and can lead to an argument as easily as to a passionate encounter. The outcome will be directly linked to the way you deal with the suggestions made. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

WORD JUMBLE

22): Productive projects with moneymaking potential should be on your agenda. Proper diet and regular exercise should be implemented into your everyday routine. Keep a close watch over what everyone around you is contributing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is the perfect day to contribute to your emotional well-being. Don’t let someone else’s uncertainty cause you to miss out on something you really want to do. You’ll enhance your love life if you are playful and experimental. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Avoid people who withhold information or use emotional ultimatums. Stand up for what you want. It’s not worth holding on to a relationship that is all take and no give. Back away from anyone who won’t meet you halfway. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Fact finding will be in your best interest, especially when it has to do with legal, financial or medical issues. A new friendship can turn into a financially worthwhile connection if you share knowledge. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Worrying about a money matter won’t save you from loss but making an unexpected move will. Set up a budget that will help you deter anyone from trying to talk you out of your cash. Put your money into your home or an investment property. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Nothing will be easy for you if you let your emotions take over. Don’t try to push others or put too much pressure on getting things done. You need time to think matters through and to figure out what to do next. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you don’t have any expectations, you won’t be disappointed. Rely on your own abilities to get you through the day. Depending on others will lead to dissatisfaction. Delays will cause uncertainty and a need to rethink your next move.

DEAR OUTRAGED: Please do not allow having herpes to define who you are. Your life has not been “destroyed.” You contracted a virus, as millions of other Americans have. While inconvenient, it is not the end of the world. What you need is emotional support, and it’s as near as your computer. There are support groups for people who have herpes -- just Google “herpes support groups-USA” and you’ll find groups galore. As to whether to take legal action against “Jack,” please remember that lawsuits can be expensive. And to determine whether he knew he had herpes at the time he was involved with you, you would have to get a hold of his medical records — which could be complicated. Your time and money would be better spent in other ways than looking backward, and that’s what I recommend.

o DEAR ABBY: I am 35 years old and the mother of two children. The oldest is 4 and my little one just turned 1. My mother-in-law had gastric bypass surgery two years ago. She lost a lot of weight and looks great, having gone from a size 16 to a size 4. My problem is the comments she makes about my weight in the presence of others. For example, “Do you see that ‘Cate’ is so big-boned and I am so petite?” It hurts, and I don’t know what to do about it. What can I say to her the next time she says something like that? — “CATE” IN OKLAHOMA CITY DEAR “CATE”: Don’t wait for your mother-in-law to say something about your weight in front of others. Tell her clearly, in advance, that her comparisons are hurtful and you want them stopped

DEAR ABBY: Early this year, my mother went to the curb to collect the empty trash bin and put it away for the week. As she wheeled it behind her home, she slipped on the ice and broke her hip. She lives alone and was in the back of her property where nobody could see or hear her. Fortunately, she’d had the foresight to grab her cell phone before she went outside. Because she was unable to stand up she could have frozen to death. She called 911 and within minutes an ambulance arrived to take her to the hospital. Mom had surgery to repair the hip and is recovering, but it was a close call. This is a reminder to your readers that if they live alone -- or have parents who do -- to make sure to have a cell phone available at all times. — RELIEVED SON IN ELKHART, IND. DEAR RELIEVED SON: I’m pleased to pass along your important message. Your mother did, indeed, have a close call. It must have been her guardian angel who handed her her cell phone as she left the house that wintry day. Please tell her I said so and that I hope she’s better soon.

Mass. woman with no arms preparing for black belt

Stripper accused of committing worker’s comp fraud

PEABODY, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts woman who was born without arms or kneecaps is preparing to test for her black belt in taekwondo. Sheila Radziewicz was scheduled to take her test next month at Bruce McCorry’s Martial Arts in Peabody. The 32-year-old brown belt, who was born with thrombocytopenia-absent radius, or TAR syndrome, told The Salem News she’s been training in martial arts for three years. McCorry, her teacher, said he’s never seen a student like Radziewicz. Despite her condition, she can use nunchucks and break boards with her kicks. The Salem resident, who works as an advocate for victims of domestic violence, said she has never let her disability stop her. At 23, Radziewicz earned her driver’s license. She uses a car that she controls with her feet.

QUAKERTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania woman is facing insurance fraud charges after authorities say she worked as a stripper while collecting worker’s compensation payments. The state Attorney General’s office said 43-year-old Christina Gamble, of Quakertown, collected thousands of dollars in insurance payments while working at C.R. Fanny’s Gentlemen’s Club and Sports Bar. According to a complaint, Gamble claimed she fell and hurt her back while working at a restaurant in 2007 and told a doctor it was difficult for her to stand or change positions. Authorities say she received more than $22,000 in disability benefits. Gamble was arraigned Thursday on two counts of insurance fraud and one count of theft by deception and released on her own recognizance. A phone listing for Gamble could not immediately be located.

Woman’s gun stolen after leaving it in restroom JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A 24-year-old Juneau woman went into a public restroom packing heat and left burned. The Juneau Police Department reports Veronica Balle-Arnes was carrying a Ruger .380 - a small pocket pistol - worth about $400 with her Friday night. She told police she took the gun out of her waistband and set it on top of a toilet paper dispenser in the women’s room at the Fisherman’s Wharf, a building on Juneau’s downtown waterfront with a bar, eateries and shops. She told police she forgot to pick it back up. When she realized it was missing a few moments later, she returned to the restroom but the gun was gone.

Police seek bank robber who handed out $100 bills COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Police in Columbus are looking for a man they say robbed a bank near downtown, then handed two $100 bills to passers-by as he ran away. FBI Special Agent Harry Trombitas said the man robbed a Huntington Bank branch early Monday afternoon after showing a teller a gun in his waistband. Trombitas said the man was running up the street when he encountered a mother and daughter window-shopping. The robber stopped and gave them each a $100 bill, assured them it was real, then kept running.

Christ ‘clothes’ us in holiness Q: Our pastor quoted something from the Bible that said we’d never see God unless we were holy. Well, I don’t consider myself a particularly holy person, because I know I’m not perfect. Does this mean it isn’t enough to believe in Jesus for our salvation? --J.H. A: Your pastor was probably quoting from the New Testament: “Without holiness no one will see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14). But this doesn’t mean it isn’t enough to believe in Jesus in order to be saved. In fact, the opposite is the case. Let me explain it this way. Suppose you were a farmer working in your fields. It had rained the day before, and by the end of the day you were filthy and your clothes were covered with mud. (I grew up on a farm, and I know how easily this could happen!) Then suppose that when you came home your wife told you the governor had invited you for dinner that evening. But you knew that if you showed up in your dirty clothes, you’d be turned away -- and when you went to your closet, everything else was dirty also. But then suppose the governor’s chauffeur drove up, and brought in a spotless suit of clothes that fit you perfectly! Now you could appear without embarrassment at the governor’s dinner. This is a homely illustration, I know -- but this is what Jesus Christ has done for us. We have no holiness of our own; as the Bible says, “All our righteous acts are like filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6). But when we come to Christ, God takes those rags away, and He clothes us instead with the perfect holiness of Christ.

Northwood council partners with environmentalists The Northwood High School Student Council has recently become much more invested in the environmental health of Chatham County. The student council decided that as part of its community service activities this year, it would include working with the Haw River Assembly at their annual Haw

River Cleanup-athon. Junior Senator Spencer Nelson organized a team of eight people from his school, composed of both council members and noncouncil members. Together they covered a large swath of the Duke state forest, filling over a dozen bags with litter. “It was great for us to really get deeply involved with the Haw River. I have always enjoyed utilizing the trails up and down the river. In fact, I went back a week later, and was pleased to see the wonderful job that the teams had done to find each and every piece of trash,” said Nelson.

Bowden shared information and items of interest with students in grades K-8 as he spoke about the history of war in Iraq and the current military support operation called Operation Iraqi Freedom. A multimedia presentation brought historical events to light and helped students understand that the men and women who serve our country in military operations around the world are real people who are members of our communities. Bowden was deployed to Iraq during 2009-2010 and has only recently returned to his regular duties with the Siler City Police Department.

Clear your head with hot salsa

AP Food Editor

isits with my family from Texas have always meant two things — lots of laughter, and lots of salsa. My Uncle Todd is the one person I know in this world who I truly believe is addicted to salsa. He eats it all day long. And he eats it hot. Super hot. On everything. He puts salsa on his eggs at breakfast and on tortilla chips the rest of the day — or on just whatever else he may be eating. He makes his INSIDE own and it See our is the easi- weekly Dining est recipe Guide for you could local menu ever imag- options ine — a Pages 4-5C 28 oz. can of Hunt’s whole tomatoes and a 12 oz. jar of jalapenos. Yup, the whole thing. He tosses those two ingredients in a blender and purees it. The longer it sits in the fridge, the hotter it gets. But it never stays in the fridge for long, which is a good thing. It doesn’t need to get much hotter than that. Several years ago when I brought Ross to N.Y. to meet my family for the first time, my Uncle Todd was there, and so, of course, his salsa was there as well. Ross became hooked quickly. I remember falling asleep on the couch and waking in the middle of the night to find them both half asleep in the kitchen over a bowl of salsa. When we came home, Ross wanted to continue making Todd’s salsa. Over time, the recipe has evolved. We still love Todd’s salsa, and had our fair share of it last month when we visited my parents. My Dad has also perfected the recipe and had a big bowl waiting for us when we pulled in the driveway. At our house, we have cut back on the heat (Ross claims after you add about 10 of the jalapeno rings it doesn’t matter if you add the rest

Just 5 minutes of work, then a short while in the oven, will let you give mom this baked dill eggs with shrimp and sour cream dish to start her Mother’s Day.

Surely, Mom is worth 5 minutes work? Because that’s all it takes to make these comforting baked eggs that beg to be eaten in bed on Mother’s Day. The egg mixture — a simple blend of eggs, sour cream, dill, salt and pepper — even can be whisked together the night before. The cooking is equally effortless. The eggs are poured into ramekins then slowly baked in a water bath to keep them moist. A water bath is just a baking dish filled with hot water into which you place the ramekins in the oven. For a particularly luxurious breakfast, I also added chopped shrimp to the eggs. Cooked ham, chicken or sausage could

Fixing soil first pays off By DAVID BARE The Winston-Salem Journal

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — The best gardeners understand time. They know that they must work hard and expect the reward to be painfully slow in arriving. Bill and Sherry Beasley understand the slow processes that change clay to soil. The first lesson came when Bill Beasley took a tiller to the front bed of the house. “The rototiller bounced across the soil. What I thought would take a few hours took four days,” he said. But it is months and years — not hours and days — that define garden time, a slow and gradual change INSIDE that patience and persisThe extentence work on the landsion’s weekly scape. Garden Guide The Beasleys were wise plus more enough to recognize this, agriculture and spent an entire year news working on the soil before Page 7C they planted anything. They added WinstonSalem’s city leaf compost and turned in thick layers of straw with the rototiller. They also grew buckwheat as a green manure crop. Buckwheat was seeded into the bed and turned into the soil with the rototiller. “We turned it when it began to flower, but before it went to seed,” Sherry Beasley said. “We were able to get about four crops in per year.” The Beasleys live in Ardmore on a curving, picturesque little street with many gardens and rolling hills. The buckwheatfertility program attracted the curiosity of the neighbors. It was a brave step for the suburbs, where front-yard projects are typically planted, mulched and completed in one weekend. The buckwheat days are now behind them. The Beasley’s little cottage garden is overflowing with flowering perennials. Columbines and wallflowers wave above

mats of creeping moss phlox and golden creeping jenny. The flowers of coneflowers, iris and globe thistle are still to come. New shoots of clematis ensnare the low fence that Bill built to surround the front yard. A wandering drift of Sheffield Pink chrysanthemum lines one sidewalk while ajuga and lambs ears complete the pattern on the opposite side. “We’ve been working on a cottage garden here, but we have to be careful of the roots,” Sherry said, referring to the cherry tree planted in the center of the bed.

et during the opening months of the Civil War, “My Name is Mary Sutter” portrays the story of a young midwife who struggles against the confines of society’s definition of women. From the first pages we see Mary Sutter through the eyes of her family, patients, and the men who will eventually love her; without fail, each person senses a strength and vitality in Mary that heartache and the war cannot diminish. She possesses unmistakable gumption and the reader is captivated along with everyone Mary meets; you almost can’t help pulling for Mary as she works to make her dreams become reality. Mary Sutter comes from a long line of midwives and by the time the book begins, she has acquired an impressive reputation for her skill in delivering babies and caring for their mothers in her hometown of Albany, N.Y., and in

the surrounding areas. She has compassion and tenacity, which combine with an innate understanding of the practice to make her extremely good at what she does. Throughout the book, Mary instills confidence by simply coming onto the scene; people are drawn to her and compelled to believe in her abilities almost at first glance. However, Mary is not satisfied with merely being a midwife; she wants to be a surgeon and is resolved to do whatever it takes to become one, despite the unwillingness of society to accept a woman in such a role. Inspired by Florence Nightingale, she takes off for Washington at the first opportunity, to learn about medicine in the war hospitals in the nation’s capital. In her persistence to learn all she can about becoming a surgeon, Mary meets two doctors who become meaningful to her, and are among the many to fall captive to her admirable but nearly mystical qualities. Throughout the book we meet many significant people — such as Abraham Lincoln, General George McCellan, and Dorothea Dix — who shaped history

and directly influenced the world in which Mary lived. Author Robin Oliveira describes the historical figures and events with accuracy and details that make the story come alive on the pages of the novel. While this book is Mary’s story, it also encompasses the chronicle of a nation at war, and a president’s struggle to put the pieces of his country back together as it crumbles right before his eyes. I was completely swept into the story of Mary Sutter and inspired by her resolve and optimism in the face of so much pain and destruction. Oliveira does an excellent job of making the reader feel as if he or she is with Mary in the dark, death haunted halls of Union Hotel, the military hospital, or on the streets of Washington, watching injured troops pour into the capital and literally take up every spare inch of the city. By combining the stark, realistic details of the war with the warm, vibrant emotions of characters who lost so much and still persevered, Oliveira has created a stunning piece of art that will engage and challenge readers as they, too, are drawn into the story by the grace and strength of Mary Sutter.

What health care reform means for seniors

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: How will the new healthcare bill affect seniors? My wife and I both receive Medicare benefits and would like to know what we can expect. — CONCERNED SENIOR

DEAR CONCERNED: There are several ways the new healthcare reform law will affect seniors on Medicare and those planning for their retirement years. Here are some of the key changes you should be aware of.

Jim Miller Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit www.savvysenior.org.

Drug benefit boost

If you’re one of the 27 million U.S. seniors who has a Medicare (Part D) prescription drug plan, healthcare reform has just upgraded your coverage. Seniors that fall into the coverage gap known as the doughnut hole will get a $250 rebate to help pay for their medications this year, and a 50 percent discount on brandname drugs next year. By 2020 the coverage gap will be eliminated. That means that seniors who now pay 100 percent of their drug costs once they’re in the doughnut hole will pay 25 percent. Currently, seniors fall into the doughnut hole once they hit their $2,830 annual limit. Then they have to pay $3,610 out-of-pocket for drugs before prescription coverage picks up again at $6,440.

Free screenings In addition to the prescription drug plan improvements, Medicare’s preventive services will also be beefed-up under the new law. Currently, traditional Medicare covers a one-time “Welcome to Medicare” physical, but only to new beneficiaries within the first 12 months of enrollment. And, they pay 80 percent of most health screening costs with you footing the bill for the remaining 20 percent. But starting next year, Medicare beneficiaries can get annual wellness exams and preventive tests, like screenings for high blood pressure, diabetes and certain cancers, for free.

Dis-advantaged The news isn’t so good for seniors who have a

Medicare Advantage plan. These are plans run by private insurers and are an alternative to Original Medicare (Part A and Part B). Many of these plans offer extra benefits that original Medicare does not provide like free eyeglasses, hearing aids and even gym memberships. These extra benefits, however, come at an extra cost. Studies have shown that Medicare Advantage plans cost the government 14 percent more on average than original Medicare. That’s why the new healthcare law will cut around $135 billion in subsidies over the next three-to-six years to the private insurers who offer these plans. What all this means is that the 10 million seniors that have Medicare Advantage can expect their premiums or copayments to increase, or their extra benefits to be reduced, or both, over the next few years. Keep in mind that if you are enrolled in Medicare Advantage, you can switch to original Medicare and join a prescription drug plan any time during the open enrollment period, which is between Nov. 15 and March 31, every year. To help you compare your Medicare Advantage plan with other plans in your area or with original Medicare, visit www. medicare.gov/mppf or call 800-633-4227. And to

evaluate Part D prescription drug plans, see www. medicare.gov/mpdpf.

Long-term care Another prevision in the healthcare reform law that older workers approaching retirement should know about is the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) Act, which is a voluntary longterm care insurance program available through employers. Starting next year, workers can set aside money from their paychecks to pay for services and supports that many will need in their old age or if they become disabled. This program is meant to help offset the high costs of home-based care, assisted-living facilities and nursing homes. Those that pay into the program for at least five years will receive an average cash benefit of no less than $50 a day when they need it. The details of the program, including the eligibility requirements, premiums and a mechanism that allows people to purchase insurance if they’re self-employed or if their employers decline to participate, are being ironed out.

ALSO FOR MOM...

A super creamy A sweet and savory French toast rice pudding made like a risotto By ALISON LADMAN For The Associated Press

This easy-to-assemble casserole can be put together the night before, refrigerated and baked just before serving on Mother’s Day. This also is an easy recipe for the kids to help with. Let them whisk the eggs, layer the bread and pour the egg mixture.

By ALISON LADMAN For The Associated Press

To create an especially creamy rice pudding worthy of serving on Mother’s Day, we took a lesson from another fine rice recipe — risotto. The latter dish gets its creamy texture by slowly cooking the starch out of the rice with the help of plenty of stirring and the slow addition of small amounts of liquid. This rice pudding uses the same technique. The dark chocolate ganache can be served warm or used to line the glass you serve the pudding in.

Borrowing its cooking technique from risotto, this brown butter and orange rice pudding with chocolate ganache recipe will be a rich and creamy treat for mom on Mother’s Day.

Start to finish: 1 hour Servings: 12 For the pudding: 3/4 cup unsalted butter 1/2 cup nonfat powdered milk 2 cups arborio rice Zest of 2 oranges 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup honey 7 cups milk For the ganache: 1 1/4 cups heavy cream 12-ounce bag dark chocolate chips In a large heavy bottomed saucepan over medium, melt the butter. Stir in the powdered milk. The mixture will resemble sand. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the milk powder browns and smells nutty. Add the rice and stir to coat. Add the zest, salt, honey and 1 cup of the milk. Stirring constantly, continue to cook until most of the milk is absorbed into the rice. Add another cup of milk and cook again, stirring until the milk is absorbed. Repeat this process until

all the milk is absorbed and the rice is cooked and creamy. This will take about 30 minutes. Set aside. To make the ganache, in a small saucepan over medium, bring the cream to a boil. Place the chocolate chips in a large bowl. Pour the hot cream over them and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Serve the ganache warm with the pudding or pour into glasses and chill.

Arrange the sausage meat over the bread, then top with 6 slices of the cheese, breaking the slices as needed to arrange a single layer over

all of the sausage and bread. Arrange the remaining bread over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the top. At this point, the pan can be covered and refrigerated overnight, if desired. Otherwise, heat the oven to 375 F and let the French toast rest for 30 minutes to allow the bread to absorb

Intense ginger pancakes start Mother’s Day right By JIM ROMANOFF For The Associated Press

Pancakes are a perennial favorite, in part because they’re fun and easy to make, both desirable attributes for a Mother’s Day meal. Way better than flapjacks from a packaged mix, these double-ginger pancakes with orangevanilla yogurt creme are as good as something you’d be served for brunch at a restaurant, yet easy enough for the kids to help prepare. A combination of ground dry and grated fresh ginger creates an intense flavor in the pancakes, which is complemented by a sweet and tangy yogurt topping laced with orange zest. If you want to make the project even simpler, you can just top the pancakes with a dollop of vanilla or lemon flavored Greek-style yogurt right out of the container.

Easy enough for the kids to help make but elegant enough to be proud to serve, these double-ginger pancakes with orange-vanilla yogurt creme are a perfect start to Mother’s Day. 2 tablespoons orange juice 2 teaspoons grated orange zest For the pancakes: 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons ground dry ginger 1 teaspoon cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup butter 1 cup orange juice 1/2 cup molasses 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger 2 large eggs Oil or melted butter, for the pan

Heat the oven to 200 F. To make the orange-vanilla yogurt creme, in a small bowl whisk together the yogurt, orange juice and orange zest. Set aside. To make the pancakes, in a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, allspice and salt. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the orange juice, molasses, brown sugar and grated fresh ginger. Whisk in the eggs. With a rubber spatula, fold the orange juice mixture into the dry ingredients just until no trace of the flour remains.

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low. Lightly brush it with oil or melted butter. With a 1/4 cup measure, drop the batter into the skillet, allowing room for the pancakes to spread. Cook the pancakes until bubbles appear and the edges are set, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until browned on the second side, about another minute. As the pancakes are cooked, place them on an oven-safe plate and place in the oven to keep warm. Serve the pancakes topped with the orange-vanilla yogurt creme.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/4 cup of sour cream and a pinch each of dill, salt and pepper. Stir in the shrimp. Divide the egg mixture between the prepared ramekins. Place the baking dish on the oven’s top rack. Carefully pour enough of the water from the kettle into the baking dish to come two-thirds of the way up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and

Extension to hold composting class

Home remedies for helping gain control of fire ants

Would you like to learn how to build and maintain a compost pile? Are you confused about what materials can and cannot be composted? Are you wondering about composting with worms? Cooperative Extension will be hosting the workshop “Composting 101,” taught by Rhonda Sherman, Extension Solid Waste Specialist at North Carolina State University. Learn about how to build a compost pile in your backyard that will turn kitchen scraps and yard waste into a garden amendment. The program will be held from 6:30-8:30 p.m. May 13 at the McSwain Center. Receipt of the $3 fee is required prior to registration. Please call 775-5624 for more information.

ee County is creative and unique when it comes to fire ant control. After sharing information about fire ants and research-based, legal controls, it is inevitable that someone will counter with, “Well, let me tell you what works for me.” At that point, I brace myself for a creative, albeit usually illegal, fire ant control story. I’d like to spend some time this week demystifying some of the home remedies floating about that claim to kill fire ants. One of the most common home remedies people share with me (or their neighbors share with me) is the use of gasoline to kill fire ants. Although gas and other petroleum products may be effective at killing some fire ants, their use is extremely dangerous. Furthermore, gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive (to all of you who ignite gasoline for fire ant control, think about the serious consequences that could result). I like to remind people of the serious results from contaminating your soil with gasoline. If a gas spill happened on the road, what would happen? Gasoline residue can persist in the soil, as well as contaminate the groundwater that you or your family drinks. Do not use gasoline to control fire ants or any other insect! Another common home remedy is the use of grits. The theory behind this method (all home remedies have believable stories to “prove” their effectiveness) is that fire ants will eat grits, which then swell in their stomachs and eventually kill the pests. There is no scientific research to support this claim. In fact, only the last larval stage of the developing fire ant eats whole foods. All other life stages eat liquids or greasy materials. Plus if your grits killed fire ants, you may have a bigger problem (with the grits, that is!). Now come the long list of other home remedies including battery acids, bleaches, ammonia products, soap solutions, cleaning products, citrus peels, wood ashes and many others. Many of these products can be dangerous for the applicator, as well as could pollute the soil. In addition, unless the product is labeled for use as an insecticide in the specific area of treatment (yard, home, vegetable garden, etc.), you would be using the product in a violation of state and federal law. The newest home remedy that has been spread by e-mail and has caught many people’s attention is the use of club soda. According to the e-mail, Walter Reeves, a retired

Stephanie Romelczyk Garden Guide Romelczyk is the Horticulture Agent for N.C. Cooperative Extension in Lee County

Georgia Extension Agent and local TV host, has endorsed the use of club soda as a control for fire ants. However, on his website (http://www. walterreeves.com/insects_animals/article. phtml?cat=21&id=1031) Reeves refutes the claim that he endorsed this control method. The theory behind this home remedy is that the club soda is heavier than air and will displace the oxygen in the mound, effectively suffocating the queen and worker ants. Again this home remedy has not been shown effective. Many home remedies appear to work. However, any type of disturbance can cause the ant colony to move to a new location, which may make the control method appear effective. Although home remedies can be enticing to try, stick to methods that have been scientifically proven to work. Some of these methods are certified organic or use nonsynthetic chemicals. For more information on controlling fire ants, reference ENT/ort-145: Managing Fire Ants in Your Yard, ENT/rsc-35: Red Imported Fire Ant in North Carolina or contact our Center at 775-5624.

porch in the summer. The sunny front does not prepare you for the subtleties of the back yard. After one enters through a vine-covered arbor, the garden opens on a stone-and-pebble patio that has an intimate seating area. Kwanzan cherry trees in full bloom line the tall, enclosing fence. The branches billow with powder-puff, baby-pink flowers. Off to one corner a fountain trills from a cobalt urn. Dry-stacked stone lines beds of hostas, wild ginger, solomon’s seal and Japanese-painted ferns. Everywhere little details await discovery, a whimsical insect sculpture here, a wall hanging there, little pots spilling over with flowers and birdhouses of all shapes and sizes, many of which are already occupied. An imposing Chinese Warrior sculpture stands cross armed at the entrance to the greater garden, sword dangling by his side. The Beasleys call him Gus. Beyond, the garden widens into an oval surrounding a large bed that Bill said is in transition. “It used to be a sun bed, but as we get older we are going more toward shade gardening and cutting down a little on the maintenance with ground covers.” Bill, 62, is a letter carrier with the postal service. He has worked

The two have crafted a partnership in the garden that seems to work perfectly. “I’ve gardened most of my life,” Sherry said. “I followed my grandmother around the garden when I was little. I’m the dig-a-holeand-plant-it person and he’s the figure-out-howit-will-look-and-design-it person.” Beyond, the trail leads through an akebiacovered arbor, giving the impression that the

garden continues. “This is one of our favorite parts of the garden,” Bill said. “We call it our path to nowhere.” Moss-lined stone defines the center of the garden. Everything done in the garden was done by hand, from sculpting the beds out of the sloping hillsides, to laying drainage and carrying in massive stones to build paths and patios. The soil from the dirt basement was dug out and also contributed to the flower beds. The Beasleys also built the screened-in

porch that overlooks it all. Beneath the porch’s canopy a system of eight connected rain barrels funnel water from the roof to be used in the garden. The rain barrel drums are recycled pharmaceutical containers. Both Beasleys are advocates of taking the time to build good soil. They maintain several compost drums, a worm bin and a system known as bokashi. It involves wheat bran, molasses and microbes in a fast-acting, kitchen scrap composting scheme. “The soil was completely dead when we started here,” Bill said. “Now every shovel has an earthworm in it.” Sherry said she counts spending time with a group of gardening friends — who regularly get together to enjoy each other’s gardens, learn from each other’s trials and trade plants — as among her favorite times in the garden. Bill said he enjoys relaxing with a glass of wine and surveying all that the garden has become. Like that wine, gardens get better over time.
