Group of officials seek more creativity, better focus to boost local economy From staff reports BROADWAY — A small group of elected officials agreed Wednesday that the Lee County Economic Development Corporation needed to be more accountable — yet it also needed more flexibility in order to attract business and industry

here. “We put all our eggs in one basket 20 years ago and now we’re paying for it,” said Lee County Commissioner Amy Dalrymple, who presided at the afternoon session — the first of the ad hoc Economic Development Study Committee — at the Broadway council chambers.

Among the ideas the members — appointed by their respective boards to the committee — considered while brainstorming about the policies and practices of the county’s EDC: create a simpler incentives policy that allows for “outside

SANFORD — Regular customers at the Fairview Dairy Bar, a Sanford staple for more than 60 years, were greeted with bad news Wednesday in the form of a locked doors and closed

signs. But unlike most closings in an economic recession, this one is likely to be shortlived. A sign on the business’s locked door read that it was undergoing a change of ownership. The closure is the result of a change in ownership from

Fairview Dairy Bar LLC., headed by Rick Quinn, back to original owners Kathy and Paul Freedle. The Freedles foreclosed on a $200,000 loan to Quinn in mid-April because of missed payments,

SANFORD — City officials nixed talks to add an additional position at the Sanford Police Department Tuesday, citing budgetary constraints. City leaders were considering hiring out a new position staffing the front desk at the police department, pointing out injured and sick police officers have had to fill the desk job in recent months. Still, a majority of City Council members said that it wouldn’t be prudent as officials prep what is expected to be a tighter-than-normal spending plan for the next year. “With the economy and sales tax revenues down, we decided it was probably better not to fill it at this time,” said Councilman Samuel Gaskins. Moves to ax a new addition survived opposition from Council members James Williams and Leopold Cohen, and calls that leaving officers at the desk could cut down on police presence on the streets. Gaskins pointed to data indicating that the crime rate is declining in Sanford and that Sanford has more police officers per capita than the national average for a police force. “It’s inefficient the way it is, but it would be more inefficient if we hired additional personnel,” he said. Sanford Mayor Cornelia Olive said city leaders must be especially frugal in these times.

Brogan thanks her supporters, wishes Womack luck

SANFORD — Lee County Commissioners District 4 candidate Tamara Brogan wished GOP winner Jim Womack luck Wednesday, a day after falling to Womack in the primary election. Womack will face Democrat Kenny Cole in November’s general election. The winner of the Womack-Cole race in November will fill in for District 4 Democrat Jamie Kelly, who announced earlier this year he would Brogan not be running for his seat. Tuesday night, Womack said he was “blessed” to have won and wished his opponent luck. “I wish Tamara great success on her many endeavors,” Womack said. “She had a great issues-focused campaign, and I wish her the very best. Brogan, a housewife and part-time fitness instructor, said Wednesday she wished Womack “the best of luck” in his campaign for November and said the experience was a good one for her. “It was a great learning experience,” she said. “What I enjoyed the most was meeting so many nice people whom I wouldn’t have met otherwise.” She thanked everyone who supported her and voted for her and gave a special “thank you” to her volunteers Wednesday. “I appreicate all the help and support I received,” she said. “And it was a lot of help. I couldn’t have done any of it without all of that support.” Brogan said Wednesday she plans to remain active in the community and didn’t rule out running for office again in the future. “Who knows what the future holds for me,” she said. “I will continue to stay involved, and I will continue to have concerns about our community.”

Pittsboro and Wake and Chatham counties. Since the end of the public comment period, several changes were made to the draft, including removing a proposal to create an elevated expressway in Cary and adding a roundabout interchange at the intersection of Laura Duncan Road near Apex High School. The size of the proposed interchange at the N.C. 751 and New Hill Road interchange in Chatham County has also been reduced to address environmental impacts. The 30-year plan will make improvements that will accommodate higher traffic levels in 2035, transportation officials said. It proposes to convert many major intersections to interchanges or overpasses but mantains signals in developed areas. The master plan involves a short-term component, too. The short-term plan consists of temporary strategies to improve mobility, safety and pedestrian accessibility at major intersections. The public is invited to comment on the study through June 30.

“We’ve got to be creative with our resources,” she said. Gaskins said the city is searching for personnel from other departments who might be underutilized at this time and could transition to manning the desk at the police department. In other city news, the Council opted Tuesday to move ahead with an employee survey designed to assess workplace conditions in Sanford government and workers’ take on the City Council’s performance. Olive said the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina will administer the survey at

no charge. City leaders considered a similar survey in 2007 but backed out due to a $12,000 bill, Gaskins said. “The price was much more attractive now,” he said. Officials said the survey will help to determine what the city is doing right and wrong when it comes to making government work more smoothly. “We’re not on any kind of witch hunt, not at all,” Olive said. “This is just to make our working conditions better.” She said there is no timetable for administering the survey yet, although it will likely begin sometime after city officials finish prepping a 2010-2011 budget.

No political commitment for young criminals Their View Issue State will work with U.S. Dept. of Justice to learn why young people land in prison

Stance Problem isn’t lack of studies, but a lack of political commitment and a reluctance to try new approaches when it comes to juvenile public safety

ov. Bev Perdue has announced that North Carolina will be working with the U.S. Department of Justice to learn why young people land in prison. We’re pleased that she is open to new ideas, but the problem is not a lack of studies. It is a lack of political commitment and a reluctance to try new approaches. Perdue made her announcement about the same time she presented her Fiscal 2011 budget. That was no coincidence. North Carolina spends about 11 percent of its annual budget — $2.18 billion in Fiscal 2011 — on justice and public safety.

Of that, $1.326 billion is just for corrections. Between 2000 and 2008, the prison population grew by one quarter and state corrections spending nearly doubled. Perdue said that if that rate of growth continues for 10 years, we’ll need 8,500 more prison beds at a cost of about $2 billion. The governor has been around state politics since the mid1980s, so she knows that there have been studies galore. One committee after another has looked at this issue with consistent findings. To reduce crime rates and prison populations, the state must move on two fronts. The first is politically difficult

in a state that has traditionally punished crime severely. North Carolina sentences are comparatively harsh. We imprison people who, in another state, might be punished outside of prison, and our sentences are longer than those in other places. Efforts to reduce sentences and to institute alternative punishments have had some success, but more could be done. There is always strong legislative resistance based on the political argument that we are going soft on crime. North Carolina can also fight crime by providing better opportunities for young people. That means better programs

for students who get in trouble and for low-achievers. It means after-school programs of study and recreation. And it means communities spending time on their children — not just in government programs — to prepare them to be contributing citizens and not inmates. But look at the recent budget cuts. These kinds of programs for youngsters were cut heavily last year at both the state and local levels. We don’t need a study to tell us that when kids are not succeeding and when they are left on the streets alone after school, they get in trouble. — The Winston-Salem Journal

Letters to the Editor Reader warns: What goes up must come down

Scott Mooneyham Today in North Carolina Scott Mooneyham is a columnist with Capitol Press Association

Legislators and fun

ALEIGH — It won’t be long before legislators come piling back into the state capital, ready to argue over state spending and posture about this and that. Another legislative session is nearly upon us. With more government scandal hanging about, it would be easy enough to rail about ethics, about the failings of our elected officials, about money in politics. But after looking around the country, North Carolinians have it pretty good. A big chunk of our legislators have some semblance of sanity. That’s not the case everywhere, a prime example being Arizona. I’ll steer clear of that whole immigration thing, except to say that apparently lawyers in Arizona (and I would assume there are some lawyers in that state’s legislatures, unless they’ve passed a law to detain and deport them all) don’t read the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. No, the really fun legislation passed in Arizona has nothing to do with immigration. Just a couple of weeks ago, the Arizona House passed a bill that requires presidential candidates to hand over documentation proving that they were born in the United States. After all, you wouldn’t want to be tricked and allow a Kenyan Muslim who was really the Anti-Christ to get on the ballot. ... The good news is that Arizona lawmakers may soon be homeless. They passed a law last year that allows the state to raise money by selling the state Capitol building before leasing it back from the owners. I understand that there’s a chance that legislators sold it to a holding company secretly controlled by vengeful Hispanics. “Excuse me, sir, I understand you’ve detained my cousin. Well, we’re evicting you. You have 30 days to vacate the premises.” A legislator from North Carolina once proposed a similar sell-and-lease scheme here, calling it frog, or ribbit, or some such nonsense. He’s in federal prison today. His name is Jim Black. A former North Carolina legislator pitched the idea to Black. Rumor is that he moved to Arizona. Just south of the border, a South Carolina legislator introduced a bill this year banning federal currency from that state. Republican Mike Pitts believes that only by replacing those greenbacks with gold and silver coins can the U.S. stave off an economic collapse. ... Legislators representing our other southern neighbor, Georgia, recently passed a new law allowing people to bring guns into airports. Now that will make terrorists think twice. Of course, gun owners still can’t take them onto airplanes, so I guess they’ll just have to stash them in restroom trash cans. As North Carolina legislators come back into town, we can only hope that they’ll propose something as silly. After all, aren’t legislatures supposed to be entertaining?

Nice guy in angry time

ASHINGTON — “A few days ago,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty relates, “I was having breakfast with my wife, my 91-year-old mother-in-law and daughters, 17 and 13. On TV there was a news report about the financial situation in Greece. Out of the blue, my 13-year-old said, ‘This is going to be us pretty soon.’ I almost dropped my fork. This is an eighth-grader.” It sounds a bit like Jimmy Carter in 1980, telling the much-mocked story of a discussion on nuclear proliferation with his 13-year-old daughter Amy. But Pawlenty — all Midwestern, blue-collar candor — is nothing if not sincere. And his daughter’s macroeconomic judgment is disturbingly insightful. “Something is happening for the first time of my adult life,” Pawlenty continues. “Average people, not activists, are openly talking about debt and the deficit with an understanding that it matters. They know something is amiss. One of the driving sentiments is that government is out of control. “ Pawlenty is among the least known of Republicans angling for his party’s presidential nomination in 2012. Pawlenty himself estimates that 75 percent of the GOP has no idea who he is. But he exhibits the confidence of a man holding at least a few aces. If the problem is deficits, Pawlenty believes he is the solution. From 1960 to 2002, state spending in Minnesota increased by an average of 21 percent every two years. As governor, Pawlenty has held the growth of spending to just over 2 percent. Last year, he cut state spending in real terms — the first time that has happened in 150 years. “We cut everything except public safety and K through 12 education,” he says. “We changed the entitlement structure.” All while moving Minnesota off the list of the top 10 most heavily taxed states. Pawlenty is the successful conservative governor of one of the most liberal states in the union — as if Ronald Reagan had been elected in Sweden. One explanation is his disarming, beer-sharing niceness, which is among Minnesota’s main exports to the nation (exception: the seething Sen. Al Franken). In normal circumstances, this virtue would be a pleasing contrast to President Obama’s increasingly touchy, brittle public persona. But there are drawbacks to being a nice guy in an angry time. No tea party activist will find Pawlenty the most enraged choice. His attempts at stump-speech outrage come across like a Baptist trying to swear; the words are right but the melody is lacking. Which raises the question: In a party of the incensed, can Pawlenty win the nomination without sacrificing his authenticity? Pawlenty responds that niceness is not inconsistent with toughness. He recounts his confrontation with Minnesota’s public transportation union to limit its overgenerous health benefits. “People were standing

outside my house holding signs. We shut down the (bus) system for 44 days.” Eventually, like Reagan staring down the air traffic controllers union in 1981, Pawlenty got his concessions. But Pawlenty suffers from another possible handicap in the Republican race — a history of policy innovation. In Minnesota, he instituted a performance pay system for teachers and passed a market-based health reform for public employees that reduced health cost inflation. “I can take conservative ideas and values,” he says, “and make them connect at the gut level with people who are not Republicans.” Pawlenty has been one of the Republican Party’s most serious policy modernizers. But given the current Republican mood, modernization and outreach are not much in demand. It says something about our political moment that Pawlenty’s civility and policy creativity are not advantages in a presidential run. But he possesses other possible advantages. His quiet evangelical Christianity could attract interest, particularly if former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee does not run. His governing seriousness might impress Republican leaders and conservative intellectuals. And Pawlenty’s fiscal record may fit the moment, particularly if his daughter’s worries about public debt prove widespread. “Change has to come,” he says. “It is a matter of junior high school math. Entitlement spending is going up. Revenues are likely to be flat, even as the economy recovers. The outcome is certain; it is just the timing that is in question. When President (George W.) Bush attempted entitlement reform (in 2005), the country wasn’t ready to take up entitlements. Congress wasn’t ready for reform. But they’re warming up. There is a saying: ‘When the pupils are ready, the teacher will appear.’ The pupils are getting ready.”

Today’s Prayer For by grace you have been saved through faith, ... not of works. (Ephesians 2:8,9) PRAYER: Father, thank You for Your love, in that while we were sinners, Christ died for us. Amen.

To the Editor: I would like to express my concern for our community. I recently had a bullet come through my window and into my couch. Had anyone been sitting there, it could’ve killed them or injured them seriously. My neighbor has bullet holes in the front of her home. We live in a good community (Carolina Trace area), and I have lived there all of my life. I’ve never had any problems like this. Recently, another gentleman in the Lemon Springs area had a bullet come through his roof and through his bed. Had he been in the bed, it also could have killed him or injured him as well. The detective’s theory was that it must come from people randomly shooting into the air. Bullets can travel for miles. Something needs to be said about these people randomly shooting in the air. The bullets do not “disappear” into the air. They don’t stop until something stops them whether it be a tree, the ground, a window ... or a life. Please alert the residents of this town the dangers in “shooting in the air” and the legal consequences as well. KRISTA M. THOMAS Staff assistant, Sanford Fire Department

‘Dairy Bar’ column wasn’t fit for biz news To the Editor: I was totally embarrassed for the Quinn family when I read the Business section of The Herald on Sunday morning. I am making reference to the “Changes at the Dairy Bar” column. This would not seem to me, a positive article to include in this section. I would suggest if this is the only info can be supplied in an article, then the column be discontinued. Do you plan to publish all possible business foreclosures? I always looked forward to read of new business activity in the Sanford community — of which this was definitely not. BARBARA TRAVERSINO Sanford

and will likely assume management of the restaurant when it opens again. The Herald was unable to reach the Freedles for comment on when the restaurant would reopen, but a former employee who wished to remain anonymous said it would likely serve customers late next week. Another anonymous reader reported to The Herald that the restaurant closed at 10 p.m. Tuesday night, an hour earlier than posted. Quinn was also unavailable for comment, although he did speak with The Herald about the changes for Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition. He cited a poor economy as the main impetus for the foreclosure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a sad business situation, but it is exactly that, business,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(His wife) Frankie and I were very happy at the Dairy Bar.

At the same time, though, in a sluggish economy which has resulted in crippling layoffs by local industries and business, the group suggested EDC Executive Director Bob Heuts and his board need to find new and different ways to help Lee County compete for business and industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The EDC needs the freedom and flexibility to be more creative,â&#x20AC;? Dalrymple said. Also attending from the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of commissioners was Larry â&#x20AC;&#x153;Docâ&#x20AC;? Oldham. Councilmen Sam Gaskins and J. D. Williams represented the City of Sanford and Commissioners Clemellyn Welch and Lynne Green the Town of Broadway at the session. As an accountability measure, the group plans to recommend the EDC provide quarterly formal reports about its activities and accomplishments to the respective boards, which help fund the entity, in addition to the annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;state of the economyâ&#x20AC;? presentation it does to the business community and the monthly written reports it provides.

Dalrymple said. When that time comes, the group agreed, the EDC needs to be ready. Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s session was the most recent formal step by local elected boards which have assailed the EDC during a time of high local unemployment and declining local industrial base. Separately, some officials have called for increased accountability and more tangible results for and from the non-profit organization and for new priorities. A key part of the discussion Wednesday was about incentives. In recent years the EDC has targeted large manufacturers for incentives and in its recruiting efforts, committee members said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anybody likes incentives, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way the game is played,â&#x20AC;? Dalrymple said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what businesses want. That may change, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way it is now.â&#x20AC;? The group discussed the idea that time and focus might be better spent elsewhere, specifically with up-and-coming small businesses that make up the bulk of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re catering to the 15 percent and leaning

Dalrymple said. The answer? Diversify local industry and avoid manufacturing crashes that drove up local unemployment over the years, the group said. Gaskins, however, warned the panel that such a focus could be problematic, arguing that many small businesses fail early in their lifespan. The group spent time reviewing policies of other economic development entities and discussed an industrial recruitment â&#x20AC;&#x153;punch listâ&#x20AC;? of priorities. Dalrymple noted that industry leaders place high priority on things like easy access to highways, affordable energy costs, low corporate taxes, economic incentives, skilled labor and proximity to major markets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you look down that list, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in better shape than a lot of counties,â&#x20AC;? Dalrymple said. The group generally praised the work of Heuts and the EDC. They also recognized it would take more than just the EDC to attract new employers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day up to us to sell ourselves,â&#x20AC;? Dalrymple said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we have to be unified doing it,â&#x20AC;? Green responded. The panel is expected to continue to develop recommendations for municipal and county leaders to present to the EDC in a meeting this summer. Its next meeting is tentatively set for 7 p.m. on May 25 in the Gordon Wicker Room at the Lee County Government Center in Sanford.

BRIEFS

Senate runoff runs risk of draining cash By MIKE BAKER and GARY D. ROBERTSON

Burr proposes 3 Senate debates for October

Associated Press Writers

RALEIGH — A day after a primary election failed to produce a winner, two Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate looked ahead Wednesday to a protracted runoff campaign that will drag into the summer — a grueling schedule that threatens to leave the eventual winner starved for cash. North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine Marshall, who led Tuesday’s vote with 36 percent but failed to get enough support to win the nomination outright, said it would not be good use of resources for rival Cal Cunningham to continue the campaign. He finished second in the six-member field, with 27 percent. The two began a second phase of their primary fight with competing events in Raleigh on Wednesday. The runoff is June 22. “The history of runoffs in the Democratic party is not particularly good,” Marshall said. “It ends up costing certainly a lot of time and a lot of money. We ought to be focusing on the main objective, which is the November election.” Cunningham said voters know Marshall from

Cunningham will face Elaine Marshall in a runoff election. her years in office, and that nearly two-thirds of them chose not to back her Tuesday. Speaking to reporters outside a Raleigh restaurant, Cunningham said he’s the best candidate to take on Burr in the fall but knows it will be a big challenge to beat him. The Democratic candidates are already low on funds. Cunningham reported $345,000 in cash at the middle of April compared to $171,000 for Marshall, and both of them spent heavily on advertising in the weeks between that reporting

deadline and this week’s primary. Republican Sen. Richard Burr, meanwhile, had $4.9 million in cash last month and breezed through his primary Tuesday, taking 80 percent in a four-way race. He has already proposed a series of October debates against his eventual challenger. Cunningham said in an interview he’s mindful that Burr “will continue to load his war chest.” But Cunningham said the runoff gives him a chance to bolster his fundraising and muster a get-out-thevote effort for the fall.

Tuesday’s vote also set up runoffs in several other races. Republican primaries for three U.S. House seats — the 8th, 12th and 13th districts — failed to settle an outright winner. The 8th District campaign has already been costly. Businessman Tim D’Annunzio, who took 37 percent of the vote, has committed $1 million of his own money to the race thus far. Former sportscaster Harold Johnson, who advanced with 33 percent of the vote, put in $240,000 through the middle of April.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr says he has accepted an invitation to an October debate and is challenging his eventual opponent to two more forums. Burr’s campaign said in a statement on Wednesday that he would participate in a debate organized by the League of Women Voters of North Carolina and WNCN-TV in Raleigh. The Republican lawmaker suggested two other debates in October, one held by UNC-TV and another by a to-be-determined media outlet in western North Carolina.

Incumbent Rep. Larry Kissell, a first-term Democrat in the state’s most competitive district, reported only $300,000 available to spend in April. D’Annunzio and Johnson both seemed ready Wednesday to expand their campaign in the district stretching from Charlotte to Fayetteville. D’Annunzio challenged Johnson to a series of debates.

Ellmers to face Etheridge in November election FAYETTEVILLE (MCT) — Renee Ellmers of Dunn will face seven-term U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge in the general election in the 2nd Congressional District. Unofficial returns showed Ellmers with 56 percent of votes in the Republican primary, well ahead of her two rivals. Frank Deatrich of Louisburg had 25 percent of votes, followed by Todd Gailas of Morrisville at 19 percent. “I’m on cloud nine right now,” Ellmers said. “Now we’re able Ellmers to move on to the real fight, which is against Bob Etheridge.” Etheridge, from Lillington, had no Democratic opposition. Ellmers, 46, is a registered nurse who manages her husband’s medical practice. She decided to run after joining in protests against health care reform. She said she believes her background won over voters. “One of the things I think people are looking for right now is someone they can put their trust in,” she said. Libertarian Tom Rose of Benson also will be on the November ballot for District 2, which includes Harnett and Lee counties and parts of Cumberland and Sampson.

N.C. HOUSE RACES

Five N.C. House members lose their primaries By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — Five North Carolina state House members — four of them Democrats — won’t be returning to the Legislature in 2011 after losing primary elections Tuesday that saw the total number of contested race soar. Unofficial results showed Democratic Reps. Nick Mackey of Mecklenburg County, Bruce Goforth of Buncombe County, Ronnie Sutton of Robeson County and Earl Jones of Guilford County all lost to challengers. Republican Rep. Pearl Burris Floyd of Gaston County also failed to keep her seat after winning her first term in 2008.

No state Senate incumbents lost. Mackey, who also won his first term in 2008, lost to challenger Rodney Moore, who snared 62 percent of the vote. Mackey’s defeat came a day after a North Carolina State Bar disciplinary panel ordered Mackey’s law license suspended for up to three years for failing to disclose late tax filings and troubles while a police officer on his Bar exam application. Moore will face Michael Wilson, who won Tuesday’s GOP primary, in the November election. Other Charlottearea House Democrats — Reps. Beverly Earle and Becky Carney — won their primaries. Earle and

Carney had challengers with personal or professional connections to Mackey, raising questions of Democratic infighting. Sutton, a nine-term House member and Lumberton lawyer, narrowly lost to Charles Graham, the former special education director in the Robeson County Schools. Sutton, a chairman of a House judiciary committee, received 49 percent of the vote compared to 51 percent for Graham. Goforth, a four-term House member, lost handily to former congressional candidate Patsy Keever. Keever had 60 percent of the vote compared to 40 percent for Goforth. The race’s key issue had been how to

rose from 29 to 34, caused in part by the departure of eight Democratic senators either through upcoming retirements or recent resignations. House Democratic incumbents who won their primary challenges included Rep. Winkie Wilkins of Person County; first-term Reps. Rosa Gill and Darren Jackson of Wake County; and Reps. Edith Warren of Pitt County. Former Rep. Mary McAllister lost her Democatic primary rematch to Rep. Elmer Floyd, D-Cumberland, who beat McAllister two years ago. GOP Reps. Jeff Barnhart of Cabarrus County, Jerry Dockham of Davidson County and John Blust of Guilford County withstood primary challenges, while Rep.

Jones has been a strong supporter for backing stem-cell research in North Carolina, making video poker legal again and permitting marijuana use for medical purposes. Real estate agent Kelly Hastings, who is white, defeated Burris Floyd, the Legislature’s lone black Republican, 53 percent to 47 percent, according to unofficial results. The incumbents lost during a primary election in which there were 81 contested House and Senate races, an increase compared to the 51 contested races in both the 2006 and 2008 primaries. The GOP had 47 contested races for the Legislature on Tuesday, more than double the 22 races two years ago. The number of Democratic races

Voters whittle Court of Appeals candidates to four RALEIGH (AP) — Two incumbents seeking additional terms on the North Carolina Court of Appeals advanced to the November election by finishing in the top two in their respective races Tuesday. Judge Rick Elmore finished second Tuesday night to state Supreme Court law clerk Steven Walker in one race. Judge Ann Marie Calabria finished first in the other race and Wake District Court Judge Jane Gray came in second. With nearly all precincts reporting, Walker had about 38 percent of the vote in his race, followed by Elmore with 29 percent. Leto Copeley was third at 18 percent and Alton Bain had 15 percent. Calabria led her race with 37 percent, followed by Gray with 36 percent. Superior Judge Mark Klass was in third place at 27 percent. The top two vote-getters in each nonpartisan race advance to face each other in November. Elmore and Calabria each won eight-year terms in 2002 to the court, which is comprised of 15 judges. The court meets in three-judge panels and hears appeals of lower court cases, except for death penalty cases. Their rulings may be appealed to the Supreme Court. Elmore, of Greensboro, was a local lawyer for 20 years before joining the court. Walker is a Campbell University law school graduate who has been the judicial clerk of Supreme Court Justice Ed Brady since 2005. Calabria, of Cary, is a former private-practice lawyer who was a Wake County District Court judge before joining the appeals court. Gray formerly worked as a state government attorney and counsel to former House Speaker Jim Black before being appointed to a District Court judgeship. She has been re-elected twice. The state Democratic Party has asked voters to support Gray, Klass, Copeley and Bain, while the state GOP put its support behind Elmore, Walker and Calabria. One Supreme Court and two other Court of Appeals races also will be on the ballot in November.

Voters in North Carolina and Ohio kept their incumbents while those in Indiana turned to an old Capitol Hill hand â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Republican Dan Coats â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primaries despite the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bottom-of-the-barrel support for Congress and frustration with the Washington establishment. Coats, who was recruited by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, won with nearly 40 percent of the vote, and 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 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 opponents, 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;deeply flawed candidateâ&#x20AC;? and casting him as a Washington insider beholden to special interests. Turnout was exceptionally light in Ohio and North Carolina, a possible indication that voter anger over economic woes, persistently high unemployment and Congress itself wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t influencing elections â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, perhaps, a reflection of the limited influence of the conservatives and libertarians who make up the fledgling tea party coalition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We rebuilt the pyramids and recarved the Grand Canyon in our spare time,â&#x20AC;? joked poll worker Dina Roberts, who saw only 147 voters in nearly 12 hours at her downtown Indianapolis polling site. By the end of the day, however, the Republican turnout in the Indiana Senate primary was the highest this decade, including primaries in presidential election years. In all three states, candidates backed by party leaders in Washington squared off against challengers drawing their support from elsewhere. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. At the very least, the outcome of Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primaries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first set of contests in the two months since Texas held its February primary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; set the stage for Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s congressional matchups and provided early insights about voter attitudes ahead of this fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elections. Among the notable House races in Indiana, 14-term Republican Rep. Dan Burton â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest-serving congressman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; struggled but managed to fend off six challengers for his 5th Congressional District seat, and Rep. Mark Souder easily won the GOP nomination in the 3rd District after a nasty campaign. In Ohio, Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, a former state attorney general backed by Democrats in Washington, withstood a challenge from Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner. The two sought the nomination to fill the Senate seat of retiring Republican George Voinovich. Fisher will face former Rep. Rob Portman, the budget director and trade representative under George W. Bush.

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Longtime Republican Rep. Howard Coble withstood his first primary challenge since he joined Congress and first-term Democratic Rep. Larry Kissell fended off an opponent Tuesday as a wave of discontent failed to unseat any incumbents in North Carolina. Coble beat five challengers seeking to unseat him in the 6th District, which covers several central Piedmont counties. Kissell defeated a former volunteer for his campaign who turned against him largely because he opposed the health care overhaul bill. With all precincts reporting, Coble had 64 percent of the vote, followed by Billy Yow at 16 percent and James Taylor at 15 percent. In the 8th District, Kissell had 63 percent, compared to 37 percent for Nancy Shakir, according to unofficial results. Coble, the longestserving GOP House member in state history, said Tuesday night he took the race seriously because it involved five candidates that could have made it difficult for him to avoid the cutoff for a runoff at 40 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have probably worked more diligently in this campaign than any campaign since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in the Congress,â&#x20AC;?

Coble said. All other incumbents with primary challengers won. Democratic Reps. G.K. Butterfield in the 1st District and Health Shuler in the 11th won handily, according to unofficial results. GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry beat three Republican opponents for his 10th District seat, while Reps. Walter Jones in the 3rd District and Virginia Foxx in the 5th also easily won their primary races. 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. Republicans were behind North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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-ofcontrol spending in Washington. That disdain contributed to why Coble, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a Republican primary for 26 years, had five challengers including Yow, a Guilford County commissioner and well-drilling company owner. Most argued the 79-year-old Coble hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been vocal enough in opposing Democratic spending â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t translate at the polls.

Bill Andrews, a 46year-old security guard from China Grove, said he backs the tea party and was upset about the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing debt and what it means for his four children. Still, he said he voted for Coble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the Republicans take over control of Congress again, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to help because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been there a long time,â&#x20AC;? Andrews said. Cobleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 a fiscal hawk by refusing to take a congressional pension. Coble, who will take on Democrat Sam Turner in November, said he ran on his record and his level of constituent service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt about my conservative credentials,â&#x20AC;? he said. Kissell faced Shakir, who said she decided to run against the incumbent because â&#x20AC;&#x153;we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a Democrat in the Congress who is voting like a Republicanâ&#x20AC;? on issues like health care. Carol Burnett, an 80year-old retired dental hygienist from Concord, said she was angry about the direction of the country but voted for Kissell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not doing a bad job. He voted against health care. I want to give him a chance,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lieutenant sentence reduced

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A judge has cut in half the sentence of a former Robeson County sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lieutenant, marking the second time a law enforcement officer involved in the same corruption investigation has gotten a reduced sentence. Multiple media outlets reported that Charles Strickland, 43, was sentenced Tuesday to 40 months behind bars, plus three years of supervised release. Strickland is now scheduled for release in 2011. The new sentence is still about a year harsher than recommended. U.S. District Court Judge Louise Flanagan, who sentenced Strickland, said she wanted to send the message that â&#x20AC;&#x153;people who hold supervisory positions such as you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t above the law.â&#x20AC;? A six-year federal investigation known as

Operation Tarnished Badge resulted in Strickland, who was head of the drug unit, being charged with leading a corrupt division. Deputies in Stricklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unit were accused of stealing property from drug dealers, assaulting suspects and satellite piracy, among other crimes. Strickland, who resigned in 2003, pleaded guilty in 2008 to conspiracy to commit money laundering in a plea agreement that dropped several other charges against him. Strickland was re-sentenced after the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the seven-year sentence imposed by U.S. District Judge Terrence Boyle. The appeals court says Boyle didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain sufficiently why he exceeded federal sentencing guidelines. Previously, the sixyear sentence Boyle imposed on former

Sheriff Glenn Maynor was reduced to two years. Maynor is now on house arrest at his home in Lumberton. Stricklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife and extended family wept behind him as he told the judge how deeply he has missed loved ones while detained at a federal prison in Rochester, Minn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been a tough situation for me,â&#x20AC;? Strickland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just ask for your help coming home.â&#x20AC;? His lawyer, Joe Zeszotraski, argued that Strickland has served about 23 months, which is more than he deserved. Most of the other 22 officers charged in the federal investigation were sentenced to less than two years in prison, Zeszotraski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the government is right that Mr. Strickland was the supervisor of this unit, the people who actu-

ally committed these acts were sentenced to six, eight, 24 months,â&#x20AC;? Zeszotraski said. Flanagan rejected Zeszotraskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s argument that investigators never proved Strickland knew about his deputiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ties to drug dealers or other crimes in his unit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find every reason to believe you knew what was going on,â&#x20AC;? she said. The judge scolded Strickland for helping build an agency that, she said, undermined the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trust in government. And Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank Bradsher said the local District Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office was forced to dismiss more than 300 cases in the wake of the investigation. Strickland has 14 days to appeal the sentence, court officials said. Zeszotraski declined to comment after the hearing.

Judge warns school districts to shape up

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Superior Court judge warned three large urban school districts on Tuesday to clear the â&#x20AC;&#x153;deadwoodâ&#x20AC;? out of chronically bad schools, or face the possibility of greater state control. Judge Howard Manning told officials from Guilford, Forsyth and Durham counties that test scores show thousands of students in those districts are being badly served by their schools, with many reaching their teenage years barely able to read or do simple math. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not happy about is, with all the talk, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got all these little children who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read,â&#x20AC;? Manning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to clean up the classroom.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadwood that needs to go.â&#x20AC;? The officials spent much of the more than five-hour hearing trying to convince Manning that they already have strategic plans in place that will turn around the performance at schools where test scores show huge numbers of students arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meeting minimum state standards. Together, the three districts have roughly 156,000 students in public schools. In some cases, the districtsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plans mean giving teachers new technology to track their studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grades and test scores and thereby assess their own performance as educators. In others, they mean re-

structuring the school day to allow for more flexibility in providing tutoring to students who need it. But Manning was more interested in hearing about more severe remedies, including forcing out staff members at schools that regularly come in below state minimums on test scores and other measures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are you going to do about the principals in these schools that are doing so terribly?â&#x20AC;? Manning asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How long are they going to get to stay?â&#x20AC;? Guilford County Superintendent of Schools Superintendent Maurice Green had an answer that Manning liked: recently, every employee at chronically underperforming Oak Hill Elementary School in High Point was dismissed, although they can reapply for their jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the staff have decided not to reapply,â&#x20AC;? Green said. Officials with the Forsyth and Durham county systems didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have examples as dramatic, but said that principals and

teachers at failing schools have either been reassigned or encouraged to find work elsewhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making no excuses about where we are,â&#x20AC;? said Minnie ForteBrown, chairwoman of the Durham County Board of Education. The systems are also collecting data that will help identify students in danger of falling behind long before they make it to high school. In Forsyth County, which includes the city of Winston-Salem, the school system is working on a program to gather data from public preschools that will allow kindergarten teachers to identify which students entering their classroom will need extra help. While that may seem early, Wayne Foster, program manager for student intervention support in Forsyth County schools, said test scores at the end of 3rd grade are strikingly accurate predictors of how students will perform in high school. In other words, the earlier the better.

Burr proposes three debates for October

Outdoor drama director has new job at gardens

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr says he has accepted an invitation to an October debate and is challenging his eventual opponent to two more forums. Burrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign said in a statement on Wednesday that he would participate in a debate organized by the League of Women Voters of North Carolina and WNCN-TV in Raleigh. The Republican lawmaker suggested two other debates in October, one held by UNC-TV and another by a to-be-determined media outlet in western North Carolina. Democrats have yet to nominate a candidate for the November election. Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary advanced Secretary of State Elaine Marshall and former state Sen. Cal Cunningham to a runoff. The two began that race with competing campaign events in Raleigh on Wednesday.

MANTEO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The man who said last week he was resigning as executive director and producer of North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outdoor drama â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lost Colonyâ&#x20AC;? has a new job, starting in October. The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Va., reported that the Elizabeth Gardens said Carl V. Curnutte III has been chosen as the gardensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new executive director. Curnutte will start after he completes his work with â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lost Colonyâ&#x20AC;? on Oct. 20. The Elizabeth Gardens are English-style gardens that memorialize the 1587 Roanoke colony that mysteriously disappeared and the Elizabethan heritage of the island. The Waterside Theatre, where â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lost Colonyâ&#x20AC;? play has been staged since 1937, and the gardens are located within Fort Raleigh National Historic Site on the north end of Roanoke island.

NC ABC commission make liquor rule recommendations

Police: Dead man was suspect in clinic shooting

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A legislative committee recommending changes to North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liquor control laws fell short of suggestions made by a separate panel with appointees of Gov. Beverly Perdue. The Joint Study Committee on Alcoholic Beverage Control approved legislation on Wednesday which it will present to the General Assembly when it reconvenes next week. The committee wants the state ABC Commission to set performance standards and training requirements for local ABC boards and their stores. They also would have to follow the same rules local governments do in carrying out their annual budget.

DURHAM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Investigators believe a man killed in a confrontation with North Carolina police officers was the suspect in a shooting at a medical clinic that left a woman dead. Durham police say 49-yearold Charlene King of Durham was shot and killed shortly before 3 p.m. on Tuesday at a Duke University Health System clinic. Police say they were involved in a shooting with 51-year-old Burnett Taylor of Durham near the clinic about 40 minutes later. A police spokeswoman said Taylor died Tuesday evening from injuries received in the shootout. Police say the shooting appears to have resulted from a domestic issue.

Tax panel wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend cig tax stamps RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A legislative panel has declined to recommend restoring a requirement that wholesalers adhere tax stamps to cigarette packs they distribute in North Carolina to deter smuggling. The Revenue Laws Study Committee voted against recommending legislation to the full General Assembly to require the stamps after a 16-year hiatus. North Carolina is one of three states without the stamps. The stamps show the cigarette tax has been paid and make it harder for black-market vendors to sell packs in high cigarette tax states. Legislative researchers say the state could lose revenues with stamps because fewer out-of-state residents would purchase North Carolina cigarettes.

Students cited for drinking alcohol on prom bus CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Several high school students in North Carolina face citations and school suspensions after being accused of drinking vodka on a prom bus rented by a local school board member. The Charlotte Observer reported that Rhonda Lennon is a member of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board who rented the bus to take 34 North Mecklenburg High School students from dinner to the prom Saturday. Lennon says she rented the bus so the teens wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be driving. Among those charged with underage drinking is Lennonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, whom Lennon says was suspended for 10 days. She says authorities acted properly and the students should face the consequences.

DNA tests vindicate Ohio man convicted of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;81 rape

Crews prepare to take contraption to leak By HARRY R. WEBER

CLEVELAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An Ohio man tasted freedom for the first time in nearly 30 years Tuesday after a judge vacated his conviction because DNA evidence showed he did not rape an 11-year-old girl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It finally happened, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting,â&#x20AC;? Raymond Towler, 52, said as he hugged sobbing family members in the courtroom. He walked from the courthouse, arms around his family members, amid the smell of freshly cut grass, blooming trees and a brisk wind off Lake Erie. He was headed to an â&#x20AC;&#x153;everything on itâ&#x20AC;? pizza party. Asked how he would adjust, Towler responded: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just take a deep breath and just enjoy life right now.â&#x20AC;? Towler had been serving a life sentence for the rape of a girl in a Cleveland park in 1981.

Ex-Bear Stearns CEOs defend failing firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conduct

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; James Cayne, who led Bear Stearns for 15 years, and his successor defended the conduct of the Wall Street firm against members of a special panel who were skeptical that uncontrollable outside forces were to blame for its demise two years ago. The firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stunning collapse in March 2008 â&#x20AC;&#x153;was due to overwhelming market forces that Bear Stearns ... could not resist,â&#x20AC;? Cayne testified Wednesday before the congressionally chartered Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Considering the severity and unprecedented nature of the turmoil in the market, I do not believe there were any reasonable steps we could have taken, short of selling the firm, to prevent the collapse that ultimately occurred.â&#x20AC;?

Senate GOP proposes alternate consumer plan

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Republicans offered a weaker alternative to consumer protection measures that are central to President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wall Street regulation plan, opening a new front Wednesday in the Senate debate over how to rein in financial institutions. The Senate pivoted straight into that confrontation after reaching a compromise on how to dismantle large failing firms. In that agreement, senators voted 93-5 to eliminate a contentious $50 billion fund that would have been used to pay for a firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liquidation. The Senate also voted 96-1 to protect taxpayers from losses. But the government would still have to put money up front to cover the costs of a firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orderly dissolution. That money would be recovered through the sale of the failed firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assets and by forcing shareholders and creditors to take substantial losses.

With Newsweek sale planned, is end of an era near? NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; At a time when people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to wait a minute for information, let alone seven days, do newsweeklies have a future? If Newsweek does, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be with its current owner. The 77-year-old magazine, hobbled by sagging ad revenue and circulation, is being put up for sale by The Washington Post Co., which is bowing out of the struggle to keep the genre relevant. The recession and online competition have left magazines and newspapers in general struggling to hang on to advertising revenue and circulation, but newsweeklies such as Newsweek, Time and U.S. News & World Report have a particular challenge finding a niche.

PORT FOURCHON, La. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 12-man crew was making final preparations Wednesday to take a 100ton contraption 50 miles off the Louisiana coast in an unprecedented attempt to help funnel out oil spewing from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. The giant-concreteand-steel box is the best short-term solution to bottling up the disastrous oil spill that threatens sealife and livelihoods along the Gulf Coast. BP PLC chief operating office Doug Suttles said it would take about two days to put it precisely on the seafloor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been done before, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very complex and it will likely have challenges along the way,â&#x20AC;? Suttles said. The pipes and tubing were to be hooked to a ship over the weekend, and if successful, the oil would eventually be brought to shore. The boat, a 280-foot vessel named the Joe Griffin, was expected to start its 100-mile trip around the Mississippi Delta later Wednesday. The box is the latest idea engineers from oil giant BP PLC are trying after an oil rig the company was operating exploded April 20, killing 11 workers. It sank two days later. Capt. Demi Shaffer said the trip would take

A shrimp boat is used to collect oil with booms in the waters of Chandeleur Sound, La., Wednesday. 10 to 11 hours at a speed of 11 knots, or about 13 miles per hour. Shaffer, who lives in Seward, Alaska, said the ship would wait at the Deepwater Horizon site for the arrival of another vessel with cranes that will lift the containment device and lower it 5,000 feet to the seabed. Rusty Ledet, an operations coordinator for the company that owns the Joe Griffin, was aboard helping out for a few hours before the journey to sea. He was asked whether the device would work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all going to find out together,â&#x20AC;? he told The Associated Press. The Joe Griffin, which also helped fight the rig fire after the Deepwater Horizon exploded, is owned by Edison Choest Offshore and is under contract to BP. The vessel is named for a boat captain who

worked with company founder Edison Chouest, when Chouest was still in the shrimping business. Coast Guard Rear Adm. Mary Landry cautioned about high expections for the containment system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, please, I have to manage your expectations and just understand that our job is not done until this well is sealed, until this well is cemented, our job is not done â&#x20AC;&#x2122;til then,â&#x20AC;? she said. She also said fires had been lit where the oil is heaviest, near the area of the accident. BP is in charge of the cleanup and President Barack Obama and many others have said the company also is responsible for the costs. BP capped one of three leaks at the well Tuesday night, a step that will not cut the flow of oil but that BP has said will make it easier to help with the

gusher. Two satellite images taken Wednesday morning indicate oil has reached the Mississippi Delta and the Chandeleur Islands off the coast of Louisiana. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear whether the oil is on shore, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very close, said Hans Graber, director of the University of Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satellite sensing facility. U.S. Coast Guard Lt. James McKnight said crews remained at the Chandeleurs on Wednesday after officials got a report of oil coming ashore, but they have not located it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sitting there, basically, waiting for the first signs of any kind of sheen to touch the islands,â&#x20AC;? he said. Graber said the images also show oil drifting south, toward the Loop Current, which scientists say could carry it toward Florida and the Florida Keys. The northern edge of the current may have already picked up some oil. Florida officials fearing tourists will cancel their vacations are trying to quash rumors that oil is already washing up on beaches there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not two or three days away from it hitting the shore,â&#x20AC;? said David Halstead, Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency management chief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The beaches are still open.â&#x20AC;?

NATION BRIEFS Rep. Obey, House Appropriations chairman, to retire

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rep. David Obey, a leading liberal Democrat and chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, said Wednesday that he will retire at the end of his term this year, dealing Democrats defending their majority another blow in an election season of voter discontent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a time to stay and a time to go,â&#x20AC;? the Wisconsin lawmaker told reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And this is my time to go.â&#x20AC;? Obey won the first of 21 terms in 1969 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when a special election was held after President Richard Nixon tapped Melvin Laird to be his defense secretary. He faced a potentially bruising re-election campaign this fall, and his retirement is likely to make it easier for Republicans to pick up his seat. Obey, 71, among a handful of veteran House Democrats who had been bracing for competitive races this fall, has routinely won re-election. In 2008 he did so with 61 percent of the vote. But voters this year are souring on Washington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe the job of a good politician was to be used up fighting on behalf of causes you believed in, and when you are used up, to step aside and let someone else carry on the battle. Well, today I feel used up,â&#x20AC;? he said.

KKK leader pleads guilty to killing woman after ritual

COVINGTON, La. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The leader of a Ku Klux Klan group in Louisiana pleaded guilty Wednesday to killing an Oklahoma woman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an erratic recruit who a witness said yelled â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want outâ&#x20AC;? the day after her initiation. Raymond Foster, 49, of Bogalusa, was immediately sentenced to life in prison for second-degree murder

by state District Judge Peter Garcia. Cynthia Lynch, 43, a Klan recruit from Tulsa, Okla., was shot and killed in November 2008, the day after initiation rites in rural St. Tammany Parish, about 50 miles north of New Orleans. Frankie Stafford, a former member of the Klan group, testified Monday that Lynch cried tears of joy the night of her initiation but the next day angrily cursed Foster and yelled â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want outâ&#x20AC;? before Foster shot her to death. After entering his plea Wednesday, Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice was shaky as he apologized to Lynchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Virginia Lynch, who was in the courtroomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front row. She had been present throughout jury selection and Staffordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testimony and wept at times as prosecutors outlined the crime.

NASA picks May 14 launch for Atlantisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last flight CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Space shuttle Atlantis is set to blast off on its final flight next week. NASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top managers agreed Wednesday to set May 14 as the launch date. Liftoff would be at 2:20 p.m. Atlantis will fly to the International Space Station, carrying up a crew of six and a load of supplies. Much of that is crammed inside a Russian-built module that will be attached permanently to the orbiting lab complex. The astronauts will venture out on three spacewalks to plug in fresh batteries and tack on a spare antenna. The 12-day mission is scheduled to be the last for Atlantis. NASA is retiring its three shuttles at the end of this year. After this flight, only two will be left. But Atlantis wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be dismantled and head to a museum when the flight is over. Instead, the spaceship will be prepped for a potential rescue mission for NASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very last shuttle flight. That final trip, by Endeavour, is scheduled for November at the earliest.

Suspect probably acted alone NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Pakistani-American accused of a failed car bombing in Times Square is believed to have worked alone in the United States on the plot almost immediately after returning from a fivemonth visit to his native land, authorities said Wednesday. They said they have yet to find a wider link to extremist groups. Two new surveillance videos emerged of the accused bomber, Faisal Shahzad. Police told The Associated Press that one video shows him in a white baseball cap walking away from the smoking, bomb-laden Nissan Pathfinder parked in the bustling heart of New York City. The second video shows him buying a weak batch of fireworks in a store in Pennsylvania, according to the shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner. Shahzad faces terrorism and weapons charges after authorities said he admitted rigging the Pathfinder with a crude bomb of firecrackers, propane and alarm clocks based on explosives training he received in Pakistan. Authorities said he was cooperating with investigators and did not appear in Manhattan federal court for a second day. Authorities indicated that Shahzad, the 30-year-old son of a retired air force official in

A New York City police officer patrols Times Square in New York Wednesday. Pakistan, had launched the bomb plot alone almost immediately after returning to his Connecticut home in February from the visit to his native land. A law enforcement official told the AP that authorities donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe there any other U.S. suspects in the plot and that several arrests in Pakistan in the past two days were not related. New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told a Senate panel that Shahzad bought the gun found in his car at Kennedy Airport in March, when he appeared to move ahead on the bombing plot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It appears from some of his other activities that March is when he decided to put this plan in motion,â&#x20AC;? Kelly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He

through extra screening at U.S. Customs because of rules put in place after the attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Day. Customs officials noticed Shahzad had traveled to Pakistan previously, but for weeks, instead of months like his most recent trip. Shahzad came back to the U.S. without his family and without a return plane ticket. When Customs officials come across people with suspicious travel patterns such as these, they send information along to the FBI. As the FBI was following leads from the SUV left in Times Square, they found a phone number in the records of a throwaway cell phone that Shahzad had used when he was buying the SUV in Connecticut.

Airlines required to check no-fly list more often WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The government is requiring airlines to check no-fly lists within two hours of being notified of list updates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a move aimed at preventing known terror suspects from boarding airplanes as the man accused in the Times Square bombing attempt did. Faisal Shahzad, who prosecutors say tried to blow up an SUV in Times Square on Saturday, was added to the no-fly list Monday only hours before he boarded an Emirates flight bound to Dubai. When updates are

made to the no-fly list, notifications are sent to airlines instructing them to check the updated list. Until now, airlines have been required to check for updated lists every 24 hours. Effective immediately, airlines will have to check the updated list within two hours of being notified of changes, according to a U.S. homeland security official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to publicly discuss the policy change. The official says airlines could be fined if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comply.

The no-fly list has been one of the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most public counterterrorism tools since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. But the list is only as good as the officials who analyze it and those who match names against it. If an intelligence lead is not shared, or if an analyst is unable to connect one piece of information to another, a suspected terrorist could slip onto an airplane. And if an airline decides not to look at an updated version of the list, someone on the list can board an airliner. Shahzad was able to

purchase a last minute ticket from Emirates airlines and board a Dubaibound airplane at John F. Kennedy International Airport late Monday night. But Emirates airlines apparently failed to check the latest version of the terror watch list that included Shahzadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. Customs and Border Protection officials saw Shahzadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name on the list of passengers 30 minutes before the flight was to take off. They pulled Shahzad off the plane and arrested him before the plane left the gate.

All the officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the case. The FBI was able to identify Shahzadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name because of information Customs and Border Protection officials shared months earlier, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the investigation.

Paint store clerk looks for big break By CARYN ROUSSEAU Associated Press Writer

MOUNT PROSPECT, Ill. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Before Lee Dewyze was singing Elvis Presley and Shania Twain hits competing on â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idol,â&#x20AC;? he was making up his own songs in his spare time while working at a paint store in his hometown of Mount Prospect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mostly Sundays, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take out his guitar and jam out a tune, off the top of his head. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d change it and twist it and turn it,â&#x20AC;? Mt. Prospect Paint owner Bill Lagattolla said Tuesday, between waiting on customers and answering the phone. These days Dewyze finds himself one of five remaining contestants on the Fox singing competition. The 24-year-old has support in the northwestern Chicago suburb with a sign outside the red and white corner paint store that reads: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mt. Prospect Paint congratulates its very own American Idol Lee Dewyze. Vote for Lee.â&#x20AC;? Inside, dozens of neon yellow and pink â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vote 4 Leeâ&#x20AC;? T-shirts sit for sale on a counter with painter pants stocked below. Lagattolla said some days the phone rings between 500 and 600 times with people inquiring about Dewyze, some asking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is that the kid who mixed

In this publicity image released by Fox, Lee DeWyze performs on the singing competition series â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idol.â&#x20AC;? my paint?â&#x20AC;? On Tuesday nights, Lagattolla said crowds of Dewyze fans pack the downtown Mount Prospect restaurant Blues Bar to watch their hometown idol. When the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over, â&#x20AC;&#x153;then they vote their fingers off â&#x20AC;&#x201D; groups of tables just texting and calling and voting for Lee,â&#x20AC;? he said. Lagattolla said he hired Dewyze to work at the decades-old paint store because he was so persistent, checking up after putting in his application to see if the store needed any more information.

He describes Dewyze as a neighborhood kid who is personable, eager to work and self-driven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was one of our top sales guys, too,â&#x20AC;? Lagattolla said. He has one of the singerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business cards, with its rainbow â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mt. Prospect Paint, Inc.â&#x20AC;? logo and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lee Dewyze Sales Associateâ&#x20AC;? printed below. On Tuesday, customers came in the store to buy the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vote 4 Leeâ&#x20AC;? shirts. The money goes to the local Prospect High School. Betsy Khamdiev, 48, of Mount Prospect bought two T-shirts, one for herself and one for her

daughter. Khamdiev said she votes for Dewyze, who Lagattolla said grew up down the street from the store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like his music style,â&#x20AC;? Khamdiev said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something about his voice quality, the way he translates the song.â&#x20AC;? Dewyze attended both Prospect High School in Mount Prospect and Forest View Alternative School in nearby Arlington Heights. Pat Monti, a dean at Prospect High School, said students are excited about the singerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success and every Tuesday is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vote for Lee Day.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids are very excited about someone who sat in the same chair they sat in doing so well in such a difficult competition,â&#x20AC;? Monti said. Dewyze has earned kudos from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? judges, too. The week the scruffy singer crooned Simon and Garfunkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Boxer,â&#x20AC;? Randy Jackson declared him a â&#x20AC;&#x153;great artist ready to make great music,â&#x20AC;? while Simon Cowell called his performance â&#x20AC;&#x153;sincere.â&#x20AC;? Back at the paint store, Lagattolla said he wants his employee to pursue his music career and is happy Dewyze has the opportunity to share his musical talents on a show with the magnitude of â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idol.â&#x20AC;?

Bret Michaels says hemorrhage felt like gunshot LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Poison frontman Bret Michaels thought a burglar shot him in the back of the head when he suffered a brain hemorrhage last month that left him in intensive Michaels care for nearly two weeks. The outspoken 47-year-old contestant on NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Celebrity Apprenticeâ&#x20AC;? told People magazine that the subarachnoid hemorrhage â&#x20AC;&#x153;sounded like a handgun, like it literally popped.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It made my mind go almost blank,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My neck tensed up. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move my head at all.â&#x20AC;? Michaels said after he experienced the sensation, he began pacing his living room then asked his girlfriend, Kristi Gibson, to take him to the emergency room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew I was slurring my words, and I was like â&#x20AC;&#x2122;OK, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a headache. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something really bad happening,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. Michaels recalled asking an emergency room doctor if he was going to die, and if he had a chance to survive, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want his two daughters, 9-year-old Raine Elizabeth and 5-year-old Jorja Bleu, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to see me in this condition.â&#x20AC;? Michaels was recovering from his April 12 emergency appendectomy at the at his Scottsdale, Ariz., home he shares with Gibson and their two daughters when he felt

Dr. Joseph Zabramski said at a Tuesday news conference that Michaels was expected to make a full recovery. Michaels will receive therapy and will probably continue to suffer from severe pain for another seven to 10 days as blood pooled under his brain dissolves, said Zabramski, chief of cerebrovascular surgery at the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a believer itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a combination of will and good faith,â&#x20AC;?

Paulina Rubio announces she is pregnant

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Paulina Rubio shared some big news with her fans on Twitter: She is pregnant. She tweeted: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life has a new meaning.â&#x20AC;? And she told her fans that they were Rubio going to be aunts and uncles. She gave no further details on the pregnancy.

It will be her first child.

Actor: Boycott of Arizona over law not warranted PHOENIX (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Actor and activist Danny Glover says a boycott of Arizona may not be an appropriate response by critics of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweeping law targeting illegal immigration. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lethal Weaponâ&#x20AC;? star said Wednesday the law is misguided, a disservice to the state and a reaction to an extraordinary level of fear. But he believes Arizonans and their leaders will resolve what he calls a moral crisis. Critics contend the law will result in racial profiling. Supporters deny that and say the law will pressure illegal immigrants to leave the country and save taxpayers money.

HOW TO KEEP PETS PROTECTED FROM SUMMERWEATHER Summer can be a trying time once the infamous dog days ďŹ nally arrive. Increased humidity and long periods of drought can make summer a difďŹ cult season to bear. Perhaps no one struggles through summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog days more than, well, a dog (or cat). The family pet could fall victim to summer heat when taken out during the heart of the season. To keep pets safe this summer, consider the following tips. Keep animals hydrated. Fresh, cold water should be available to pets at all times during the summer. Cats, dogs, rabbits, or any other domestic animal is not as equipped to handle heat as well as humans. When pets do go outdoors during summer, monitor their breathing closely and keep them in the shade as much as possible. Pets are far more susceptible to heat stroke than humans, highlighting the importance of keeping them hydrated and out of the sun.

Never leave a pet unattended in the car. Pet owners should never leave their pets unattended in the car. Even on mild spring days where the temperature outside seems perfectly comfortable, the temperature inside a vehicle can reach up to 130 degrees in less than 30 minutes. Regardless of how little time you think an errand will take, do not leave a pet unattended in the car. Simply leave the pet at home instead. Alter your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exercise schedule. If you routinely take your dog for a mile walk in the spring, reduce that walk to a half mile in the morning and then another half mile in the late evening, when temperatures are often at their most comfortable. Moderate exercise is best for pets during summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog days.

One relative said he noticed a difference in him only after he had spent several years in the U.S. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw a little change in him. When he was here, he was not religious-minded.

The most often cited reason for this is the ability of Islam to give people a clear sense of identity in an unfriendly and confusing environment. The four suicide bombers who attacked the London transportation system in 2005 were British Muslims, two of whom who had traveled to Pakistan. Five young Americans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two of Pakistani descent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are on trial in Pakistan facing terrorism charges. One left behind a farewell video showing scenes of

Keep animals cool indoors as well. Just because a pet isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t outside doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the pet wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suffer from the heat. Snub-nosed dogs such as English bulldogs or pugs, for example, need to be kept cool indoors as well as outdoors. Keep the air conditioning on when out during the day if possible, or keep a ďŹ&#x201A;oor fan running to ensure your pet stays cool indoors while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away. Be mindful of where you walk. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for dogs to get out of the house and go for a daily walk. However, the padding on your best friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feet is susceptible to burning when walking on hot asphalt. This can prove extremely painful for dogs. When walking a dog in the summertime, try and walk at a nearby park where dogs can casually stroll on a much cooler surface such as grass. In addition, avoid taking dogs to the beach, at least during the daytime. The beach provides no shade or fresh water, two things a dog sorely needs in the summertime.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rioting over harsh austerity measures left three people dead in a torched Athens bank and clouds of tear gas drifting past parliament, in an outburst of anger that underlined the long and difficult struggle Greece faces to stick with painful cutbacks that come with an international bailout. The deaths were the first during a protest in Greece in nearly 20 years. Fear that the bailout wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop the debt crisis from spreading to other financially troubled EU countries like Portugal and Spain intensified amid the violence Wednesday, as credit ratings agency Moodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put Portugal on watch for a possible downgrade. The euro sank, dipping below $1.29 for the first time in over a year, on fears of crisis contagion and concerns that political upheaval might keep Greece from keeping its end of the bailout bargain. Greece faces a May 19 due date on debt it says it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t repay without the help.

The U.S. has warned against excluding Sunnis for fear that sidelining the Sunnibacked election winner could enflame tensions. Several high-ranking Shiite officials confirmed to the AP the contents of the agreement, which lays out a list of conditions making possible the alliance between Prime Minister Nouri al-Malikiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State of Law coalition and the Iraqi National Alliance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; until recently wary rivals for power.

Volcanic ash snarls Scottish, Irish air services DUBLIN (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A new wave of dense volcanic ash from Iceland snarled air traffic Wednesday in Ireland and Scotland, stranding tens of thousands of people but narrowly missing England and key London air hubs. Dublin Airport canceled all flights until 4 a.m. (0300GMT) Thursday, marooning more than 30,000 passengers in the process. More than a dozen other airports throughout the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland shut down, too, as unseasonable winds pushed the enginewrecking ash southwest back toward the Atlantic. Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Air Traffic Service said the densest ash clouds skirted the western coast of England and North Wales but posed no threat to airports there. The renewed volcanic-ash threat in the skies of Britain and Ireland this week, following a two-week lull, has tested the more precise safety rules adopted by European aviation authorities following the unprecedented April 14-20 closure of most northern European airspace. This time authorities are grounding flights only when the ash reaches sufficient density levels and gets within 60 miles (100 kilometers) of an airportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path for landings and takeoffs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a stark contrast to last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closures of air services throughout several countries.

CELTICS’ GARNETT, PERKINS MISS WORKOUT

WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) — Boston Celtics big men Kevin Garnett and Kendrick Perkins skipped practice with injuries Wednesday, but coach Doc Rivers said he expects both to play in Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss said Garnett has a mild strain in the middle of his right foot and Perkins has a hyperextended right knee. Although both were at the team’s practice facility, neither practiced as the Celtics returned from a day off to begin preparations for Friday night’s game. “If we had a game today, I don’t think (Garnett) could have played,” Rivers said. “We just have to wait.”

The team announced the revised policy Wednesday, two days after a Philadelphia police officer Tasered a teenage fan who ran onto the field at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies say they made the decision after discussions with the police department. The team says in a statement that Phillies security personnel will apprehend most field jumpers, but will call for the assistance of police officers at the park if greater force is necessary.

BRAVES’ JURRJENS HITS DL WITH BAD HAMSTRING

WASHINGTON (AP) — Atlanta Braves right-hander Jair Jurrjens is headed to the 15-day disabled list because of a left hamstring strain. The Braves announced the move before Wednesday’s game against the Washington Nationals. The 24-year-old Jurrjens, who was scheduled to start Saturday at Philadelphia, sustained the injury April 29, when he left a start at St. Louis after only one inning. Braves manager Bobby Cox said right-hander Kris Medlen would take Saturday’s start. Jurrjens was 0-3 with a 6.38 ERA in five starts. To replace Jurrjens on the 25man roster, the Braves purchased the contract of right-handed reliever Craig Kimbrel from Triple-A Gwinnett.

By DOUG FERGUSON PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Padraig Harrington would be among the thousands of fans surrounding the island green on the TPC Sawgrass if he came to The Players Championship as a spectator instead of a three-time major champion.

than the par-3 17th at the Players Stadium Course, which is not to suggest it’s one of the great holes in golf or among the most beloved. Exciting? Usually. Pivotal? Sometimes. It is part of one of the more dynamic closing stretches on the PGA Tour, coming after the reachable par-5 16th with water framing the right side of the final 200 yards, and before the tough 18th hole, where the wind typically comes in from the left off

a lake that runs down the entire side of the hole. “But 17 is the one because there is glory and some horror shows there,” Harrington said. “And we all, as spectators, that’s what we want to see. We want to see the highs and lows and the emotions. You’ll see a lot of them on 17.” There should be plenty of action, for sure, when The Players Championship gets under way

SPORTS SCENE

Many storylines from Richmond

hat to write about this week? I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to watch much of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sprint Cup race. But I did see the last few laps and several storylines developed. Has Kyle Busch changed? Will Jeff Gordon win again or has he and his crew forgotten how? How can Kevin Harvick be so good just as his contract is expiring? Is Jimmie Johnson just taking it easy until the Chase? Who is Carl Edwards? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take a brief look at these and maybe another question or two. Kyle Busch has vowed that he has matured and wants to be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? race car driver. Oh yeah, he turned 25 this past Sunday and as he said, he is a new driver. Well, I am sure he will still raise his ire when things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go his way. I am sure that if someone bumps him out of the lead or cuts his tire or his pit crew makes a mistake. He will turn into the ogre that he can be. Just because he reached the plateau of 25 wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change his attitude or his personality. I will admit that he faced adversity and came back to win. He led a lot laps, then fell back to mediocrity but came on strong at the end. The young Busch would not have handled that very well, but the old man did well. He won and in the process handed Gordon another crushing loss. Poor Jeff. He could easily have four wins by now. He had the best car at Las Vegas and Texas but his pit crew and their calls went against him. He was leading at Martinsville and Phoenix in the final two-lap restarts and then a potential charge

at Talladega was thwarted by his teammate. After losing momentum he got caught up in something not of his doing and thus took him out of contention. Now Richmond. I actually feel kind of sorry for him. His team is way ahead of where they were last year but they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to get over the hump. And as competitive as Sprint Cup is this year he may not get those chances again. Right now they are a dominating team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just not a winning one. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it amazing that Harvick is leading the points and here he is the biggest free agent on the market? You know Richard Childress does not want to see him go but he may not be able to afford him. Chances are he could become the highest paid driver in racing. All he needs to do is continue to lead the points, get into the Chase and maybe sneak in a championship. That is not too farfetched because the Childress cars are all running well and are in contention almost every race. But where would he wind up? Maybe Tony Stewart can make room for him? Yeah, Johnson fell to second in the points. Big deal! He canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the best every week, although he really is the biggest threat every week. I am participating in a

fantasy racing league and if I could I would take him on my team every race, but the rules donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow that. Four championships in a row is enough of a resume for me. All he is doing is making sure he is in contention every race, and then if the opportunity presents itself, he wins. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take unnecessary chances that could eliminate him from winning. Now, he might get caught up in something else, but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be of his doing. I guess what I am saying is that when the work is over he will win No. 5. Has anyone seen Carl Edwards. Congratulations to him as he finally showed up at Richmond and led a lap. That was his first one this season. Ten races in and he led a lap. I guess he has finally finished making commercials and decided to become a race car driver again. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe I am

Tigers take field with Harwell memories fresh

Braves’ Heyward leaves game with sore groin

WASHINGTON (AP) — Atlanta Braves rookie slugger Jason Heyward has left a game against the Washington Nationals in the second inning with a sore right groin. Heyward lined out to shortstop Wednesday night for the first out in the second and was replaced in right field in the bottom of the inning by Melky Cabrera. The Braves say Heyward is day to day. The 20-year-old Heyward is hitting .286 and leads the team with eight home runs and 24 RBIs. He was chosen NL rookie of the month for April after leading all rookies with six homers and 19 RBIs.

No Bradley in Mariners’ starting lineup

SEATTLE (AP) — Milton Bradley has asked the Seattle Mariners management for help in dealing with personal issues and is not likely to play much in the coming days. Bradley was not in the starting lineup on Wednesday night against Tampa Bay, a day after he left the stadium following his benching by manager Don Wakamatsu. General manager Jack Zduriencik says Bradley met with Wakamatsu and Zduriencik on Wednesday morning and told the pair “I need your help.” Zduriencik says the team will do whatever it can to help Bradley. Bradley told the Mariners management that his issues have put him in a position where he can’t compete the way he expects and that “It’s been a long time coming.”

Damon leaves game because of calf spasm

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Detroit Tigers left fielder Johnny Damon was pulled from Wednesday’s game at Minnesota because of a spasm in his right calf muscle. Damon was 0 for 2 when he departed after the fourth inning on a chilly afternoon against the Twins. He was replaced by Ryan Raburn. The team said Damon’s status

is day to day, and he is not expected to miss much time. The Tigers have Thursday off before playing Friday at Cleveland, and manager Jim Leyland said he expected Damon to be ready to face the Indians.

Twins’ Hardy hurts wrist, misses Wednesday game MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Twins shortstop J.J. Hardy is out with a jammed left wrist. Hardy got hurt sliding into third base on his ninth-inning triple that helped lift Minnesota to a 4-3 victory over Detroit on Tuesday night. He was replaced by Alexi Casilla for Wednesday’s game against the Tigers. Manager Ron Gardenhire said Hardy will miss a day or two. Catcher Joe Mauer was also out of the lineup for the fifth straight game because of a deep bruise on his left heel. Gardenhire reiterated the team’s desire to be cautious about the injury to the reigning AL MVP.

O’s Jones scratched with strained right hip NEW YORK (AP) — Orioles center fielder Adam Jones was scratched from Baltimore’s lineup against the New York Yankees on Wednesday because of a strained right hip. He was replaced atop Baltimore’s lineup by shortstop Julio Lugo. Lou Montanez took Jones’ spot in the field and batted ninth against the Yankees.

Phillips doubled off the outfield wall during a 5-4 loss to the Mets on Tuesday night. He apparently thought the ball was going to clear the wall, and didn’t run all-out at first. Baker thinks he could have gotten a triple if he’d run hard the whole way.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Andy Pettitte (46) delivers in the third inning against the Baltimore Orioles at Yankee Stadium in New York on Wednesday.

Yankees hold off O’s; Jays clip Tribe NEW YORK (AP) — Nick Johnson and Nick Swisher homered, Mark Teixeira hit a two-run double and New York’s depleted bullpen barely held on for a 7-5 win on Wednesday. The Yankees led 6-1 after seven innings, but Baltimore scored four times against five relievers, including a pair of solo homers by Matt Wieters and Nolan Reimold in the ninth. Andy Pettitte (4-0) gave up six hits and two walks in five innings to improve to 7-0 in his last nine starts against Baltimore. Blue Jays 5, Indians 4 CLEVELAND (AP) — Adam Lind hit a two-run homer with

two outs in the ninth inning to send the Toronto Blue Jays to a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Indians with a 5-4 win. Lind homered after Cleveland shortstop Luis Valbuena’s error on a grounder that could have ended the game. Twins 5, Tigers 4 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Denard Span had three singles and a walk, and Minnesota earned its first sweep in nine series this season. Kevin Slowey (4-2) surrendered seven hits and three home runs in 5 2-3 innings, but they were all solo shots — two by Miguel Cabrera. Alex Avila also homered twice for the Tigers, and Rick

Porcello (2-3) tied his career high with four walks, allowing five hits and five runs in 5 1-3 innings. Athletics 4, Rangers 1 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Eric Patterson homered and Trevor Cahill won in his second start since getting called up from the minors for Oakland. Reds 5, Mets 4 CINCINNATI (AP) — Orlando Cabrera led off the 10th inning with a home run just inside the left-field foul pole, sending the Cincinnati Reds to a 5-4 victory over the New York Mets. Cabrera’s fifth game-ending homer, a drive off Pedro Feliciano (1-1), gave the Reds their second last-swing victory in the series.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Last September, Ernie Harwell came to Comerica Park in Detroit for a formal farewell. It was Harwell’s voice that made him famous, and the Detroit Tigers were focused on every word. Harwell addressed the team before that game, giving a stirring speech that is still remembered fondly in the clubhouse. Manager Jim Leyland called it “priceless” and “fulfilling.” Shortstop Adam Everett was one of several players motivated and moved by Harwell’s talk. “Nobody said a word,” Everett said Wednesday, the day after the Hall of Fame broadcaster died at age 92 after fighting cancer. “I don’t think anybody blinked the whole time. That’s how intense it was.” The speech wasn’t so much “win one for Ernie” as it was about his thoughts on life and baseball, his appreciation of the game. Harwell also spoke to the crowd that day, a clip catcher Gerald Laird said he watched online three or four times during the offseason. “It’s inspirational. It’s unbelievable,” Laird said. “That guy left his mark on this game, and he’s definitely going to be remembered forever — as long as this game’s going on.” Leyland’s eyes teared up Tuesday night when talking about Harwellas he shared many of his thoughts Wednesday about the man who spent 42 of his 55 years on the air calling Tigers games before retiring in 2002.

AP Source: Hornets interview Fratello

Ice Box skipping Preakness

NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A person familiar with the meeting says the New Orleans Hornets have interviewed Mike Fratello, the third candidate to meet with the club about its vacant head coaching job. Hornets executives met with Fratello in Cleveland on Wednesday, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the club has not officially announced interviewing Fratello. Fratello has coached the equivalent of about 15 seasons with the Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Memphis Grizzlies. His last coaching stint was in Memphis from 2004 to 2006. On Tuesday, Hornets executives were in Texas interviewing former Dallas coach Avery Johnson and current Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kentucky Derby runnerup Ice Box is skipping the Preakness. Trainer Nick Zito said Wednesday itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more likely the 3-year-old colt will be pointed to the Belmont instead. Ice Box finished a hardcharging second to Super Saver in last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Run for the Roses. Zito said the day after the race he was concerned the his horse might have trouble with the short two-week turnaround between the first and second Triple Crown races.

Obama gives shout out to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Los Sunsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of Phoenix

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Barack Obama has given a shout-out to NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Phoenix Suns, who are wearing jerseys that say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Los Sunsâ&#x20AC;? to honor the Latino community, diversity and the state of Arizona. Obama made the remarks at the beginning of a Cinco de Mayo celebration in the Rose Garden. The president said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that a lot of you would rather be watching tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Spurs against â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Los Sunsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from Phoenix.â&#x20AC;? The line drew applause from the crowd. Arizona adopted a hard-line immigration law that cracks down on illegal immigrants. Civil rights groups say it could lead to racial profiling. Obama has called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;misguided.â&#x20AC;?

Calif. lawmakers seek temporary ban on metal bats

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A California legislative committee advanced a bill Wednesday that would place a two-year moratorium on the use of metal bats in high school baseball to allow for a safety review. Supporters said metal alloy and aluminum bats make baseballs travel faster and lead to more serious injuries. Opponents of the moratorium said wooden bats also are dangerous. The bill moved forward on the same day a 16-year-old pitcher for Marin Catholic High School, who was struck in the head by a line drive hit off an aluminum bat, was released from a rehabilitation hospital. The March incident left Gunnar Sandberg with a traumatic brain injury.

NCAA proposes tighter restrictions on elbows

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The NCAA has recommended tougher penalties for players who throw elbows. The decision was announced Wednesday, one day after the Basketball Rules Committee completed its spring meetings. All proposals must still be approved by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel next month. If the new rule passes, officials would have to call an intentional or flagrant foul for anything more than incidental contact when a player hits an opponent with an elbow above the shoulders. If the player hits the opponent below the shoulders, it could still be a common foul. Last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rules gave officials the discretion to determine whether an elbow should be called a flagrant foul, an intentional foul or a common foul. The new rule would apply to men and women.

Calipari eyeing extension, not raise LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kentucky coach John Calipari says while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open to a contract extension, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not interested in a raise. Calipari said Wednesday in an audio tweet on lexy. com that athletic director Mitch Barnhart approached him 10 days ago about restructuring his contract. Calipari says he told Barnhart that he welcomes the idea but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want his compensation to change. He recently finished the first year of an eight-year deal that pays him just under $4 million a season. The contract talks surfaced shortly after reports that Calipari was interested in coaching the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chicago Bulls.

Ainge comes clean in Cleveland towel incident WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Danny Ainge says he regrets tossing a towel in the air to distract an opponent during a free throw attempt. The Celtics general manager told WEEI-AM in Boston he behaved unprofessionally during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against Cleveland. Ainge threw a towel in the air when Cavaliers forward J.J. Hickson was at the line in the third quarter. Ainge says that he regrets causing a distraction.

The arrest of Huguely and the death this week of Yeardley Love, both 22, have struck the highly ranked teams as they prepare for the NCAA tournament and shaken some on the picturesque campus where students are studying for finals. A memorial for Love was set for Wednesday night, and her funeral was set for Saturday in Maryland. Huguely remained jailed on a charge of first-degree murder. The teams will compete in the tournament, and the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic director said Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family supported that decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very frankly, this kind of killing is so rare that there are few protocols in higher education to deal with it,â&#x20AC;? University President John Casteen said. Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roommate and the roommateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend found her battered body early Monday. Police have said Huguely and Love were once involved in a relationship, but that it had ended. According to a search warrant affidavit, Huguely kicked in her bedroom door and told them her head hit a wall several times as he shook her. His attorney, Francis Lawrence, called Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death an accident. In court documents filed Wednesday, Charlottesville police said they took the stained jersey, the letter to Love and other items from Huguelyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment hours after Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was

on Thursday. The PGA Tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of a major championship has all the ingredients for a big show this year. Phil Mickelson has a chance to go to No. 1 in the world for the first time in his career, provided Tiger Woods finishes out of the top five. Woods has made that possibility seem even more real by missing the cut last week at Quail Hollow with the highest 36-hole score of his career. Henrik Stenson is the defending champion, and Europeans are trying to win this event for the third straight year. Those hopes lie with players like Rory McIlroy, who celebrated his 21st birthday on Tuesday just two days after winning at Quail Hollow with a round of 62 that will be talked about the rest of the year. But despite having the

discovered, according to the Charlottesville Daily Progress. The court records were later sealed. The 6-foot-2, 209-pound Huguely was charged just days before he and Love were to graduate and play in the NCAA tournament for the Cavaliers, with both teams considered contenders for the national title. Such an opportunity seemed like a done deal for Huguely as far back as 2006, when he was the star player at the $28,826a-year, all-boys Landon School in Bethesda, Md., which churns out players for top college programs like Virginia and Duke. Peter Preston and his family were neighbors of the Huguelys for more than a decade, and their children grew up playing together. He said the allegations against Huguely, whom he knew as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Georgie,â&#x20AC;? were baffling since he always seemed like â&#x20AC;&#x153;just a wonderful, charming, polite young man.â&#x20AC;? Preston said his son, Michael, who is one year older than George, had grown up playing lacrosse with him, but Michael and Huguely saw less of each as they grew older and went to different high schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;George is not a monster,â&#x20AC;? Preston said. At Landon, Huguely once snatched coach Rob Bordleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car keys from the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, drove around the school to where the coach was and talked with him from the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat until it dawned on Bordley what had happened, according to a 2006 article in

The Washington Post. Bordley described the high-scoring Huguely then as Landonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier player, with a top-notch attitude. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always in an upbeat mood,â&#x20AC;? Bordley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing really fazes him. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve asked my assistant coaches if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen him rattled and they said no. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just unflappable.â&#x20AC;? Two other accounts in the 2006 story referred to Huguely joking about women at lacrosse games. In one, he said he bet a Landon assistant coach that if he pulled off a big play by picking off a pass, the assistant coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiancee would kiss him. Huguely made the play, then asked the assistant coach for the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number. He also cracked wise about â&#x20AC;&#x153;a good-looking EMTâ&#x20AC;? who treated him in 2005 for heat cramps. He said his teammates â&#x20AC;&#x153;wanted to see if I could get her number.â&#x20AC;? He also got into his share of trouble, however. Police in Lexington, Va., about 70 miles from Charlottesville, said that in November 2008, Huguely was shocked with a stun gun by an officer after resisting arrest on public intoxication. He pleaded guilty to two charges last year, was placed on six monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; probation and was given a 60-day sentence, which was suspended. Casteen said at a news conference that the school didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about the arrest and that there is nothing in state law that makes police report such incidents to colleges.

him nine spots on the leaderboard and $747,000), Mickelson had a two-shot lead. In the last four years, the only time the tournament had suspense over the closing holes was when Sergio Garcia made a clutch par on the 18th to get into a playoff, then won on the 17th when Goydos hit into the water. Such things are cyclical. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, OK, if you played the first 66 holes and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so far ahead of the field, maybe you do deserve to win in comfort,â&#x20AC;? Harrington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the golf course isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t boring. That is the last thing you could ever accuse it of being.â&#x20AC;?

The opportunity is always there for the unexpected, especially with the strongest and deepest field in golf. Mickelson doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blink when comes to daring plays, yet he says it was only until he stopped trying to make a birdie on the 17th hole and settled for a par â&#x20AC;&#x201D; rare for him with a wedge in hand â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that he won his first Players Championship in 2007. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an exciting finish because 16 poses eagle possibilities as well as birdie,â&#x20AC;? Mickelson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seventeen can go from 2 to 5 fairly easily, and then 18 you can make up ground with a par.â&#x20AC;?

Raiders Continued from Page 1B

Sergeant First Class Patrick Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Kelley, the ROTC instructor at Lee County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids worked so hard and definitely earned this. We definitely didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it coming. We were pretty shocked.â&#x20AC;? On Saturday, the Fort Bragg Best Raider competition consisted of a 10kilometer run, a four-man rope bridge, a rock wall climb, a logistics run and an orienteering course. Each team was broken up into two four-person teams, one all-male team and a co-ed team. The Lee County Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A-Team of team commander Shawn Townes, Anthony Bailey, Scott Piper and Rosalio Avalos finished in first place overall in the competition. The B-Team consisting of team leader Rebecca Malcolm, Chris Heyson, Antonio Garcia and Walter Martinez also finished in first place in the co-ed division and fifth place overall. Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A-Team finished with 24 points, which edged Jack Brittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s B-Team, which was second overall with 25 points (lowest point total wins). Jack Brittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A-Team was in third and South Rowan, the team that had won the last three Best Raider competitions, finished in fourth place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was certainly unexpected,â&#x20AC;? said Piper, who broke his finger during the logistics competition when a tire fell on it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they tallied up our scores at the end, we were all very surprised. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy that we did it. We definitely earned it.â&#x20AC;? Overall team place-

ment is determined by a simple â&#x20AC;&#x153;low-pointâ&#x20AC;? scoring system. For each event, a team receives a point that represents its placement in that event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had one thing go wrong for us,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Kelley, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we might not have won the whole thing. If we had lasted a second longer on any other event, we definitely wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have won. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how close the competition was.â&#x20AC;? In the four-man rope bridge event, the goal is for the Raider team to build a single rope bridge that crosses a 52-foot gap and then cross to the other side. To do this, the Raiders had to tie the rope to two trees on either side of the gap, and after the rope was tightened and secured, the Raiders crossed wearing harnesses to allow them to pull themselves across. After all four competitors crossed, the bridge had to be disassembled and

The event was timed and the Lee County A-Team finished in fourth with a time of 1 minute and 25 seconds. The B-Team was 16th with a time of 2:04. In the logistics run, the Raiders competed in a relay style race that consisted of carrying an ammo crate under simulated barbed wire, carrying buckets of water for a certain distance and flipping a 250-pound tire for a certain distance. The Lee County A-Team finished in 12th place with a time of 1 hour and 36 minutes. The B-Team was second with a time of 1 hour and 16 seconds.

In the 5.3 mile-orienteering course, each team was divided into pairs that had to search the course for 10 checkpoints that were marked on a map. The Lee County ATeam was the first to find all 10 checkpoints with a time of 53 minutes. The B-Team was also first with a time of 59 minutes. In the 10-kilometer run, the Lee County A-Team was first overall. In the climbing wall, the Lee County A-Team was seventh with a time of 53 seconds. The B-Team was ninth with 55 seconds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of every single person that participated in this,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Kelley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us to come

back with the first overall finish was very surprising. They really earned it.â&#x20AC;? Townes says that winning the overall competition as the commander of the A-Team really proved something to the other Raider teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winning this competition really made me feel like I proved something,â&#x20AC;? said Townes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It proved that we might not have the best individual people when it comes to competition, but we have the best overall group. Other teams train for this every morning, afternoon and evening. We kind of look at it as something fun for us to do. When it comes time to compete, though, I think we all bring out the best in each other.â&#x20AC;? That they definitely do. The season ranges from September to May and the Lee County Raider team tries to participate in at least one event a month. This season, the team has a record of 1129 in Raider competitions throughout the area, with all nine losses coming at the beginning of the year. That record makes them the highest scoring Raider team in school history with a 93 percent win ratio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more relaxed with what we do,â&#x20AC;? said Alyssa Jones, who commands the entire Raider team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do a lot of training on our own when it comes time to prepare for competition. I think that teaches us a lot about self discipline. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Raiders, definitely. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all we do. A lot of us are involved with other stuff in the school.â&#x20AC;? Jones will be graduating later this year and has been accepted to do ROTC at North Carolina State. Bailey plans on going straight into the Army after high school and Malcolm is hoping to get the same ROTC scholar-

ship that Jones received. In her first time as a team commander, Malcolm, the only female on the co-ed team, says she was very excited when the Lee County Raiders were named the winners in the division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the co-ed team, I think we definitely went into the competition thinking that we were definitely not up to speed with the other teams,â&#x20AC;? said Malcolm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an exciting feeling winning the entire thing. I never had the opportunity to lead a team before and for me to do it when we win, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an incredible feeling.â&#x20AC;? The Lee County Raider team, which consists of 17 overall members, holds tryouts in the first month of each semester. In order to get a spot on the team, participants have to take the same physical fitness test that is required to get into the U.S. Army Airborne School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have to score within the 80th percentile on this physical fitness test to be on a Raider team,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Kelley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The test includes two minutes of push-ups and sit-ups, a 2-mile run and pull-ups. Girls are required to do just one pull-up and guys have to do 11.â&#x20AC;? The Lee County Raiders will have one more competition later this month. On May 15, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Kelley plans on taking the team to Ocracoke Island for the Best Lee County Raider Competition. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a competition to figure out who the best Raider is on the entire team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just doing for fun,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Kelley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids want to know who the best Raider on the team is. So, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do some competitions and find out. It should be interesting.â&#x20AC;?

Happy MotHerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day! MoMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CrossworD

Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is the day of the year that we stop to honor our Mothers for all they have done for us. In the United States, as well as in many other countries such as Austria, Brazil, Switzerland and Japan, Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Solve the puzzle using the always occurs on the second Sunday in May. Other clues provided below. parts of the world observe the holiday on different days. On Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, people find many different ways to honor their Mom and tell her they love her. The earliest Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day celebrations occurred in ancient times to honor the mother goddesses. The Phrygians celebrated in honor of the Mother of all gods, Cybele. In Greece, the same holiday was celebrated for the Mother of their gods, Rhea. Similar observations were also held in ancient Rome. The western tradition of Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day in the United States was created by the works of three women, Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis (the elder) and her daughter Anna Jarvis. In 1870, Howe wrote the Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Proclamation, a statement requesting that the Civil War be put to an end in the name of a Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day for Peace. Though Julia first conceived the idea for a Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, it was never officially recognized. In the late 1850â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Anna Jarvis began using the idea as a Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day of Work to help improve sanitation conditions, but this, too, did not bring the idea of a national Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day to the Country. It was her daughter who finally brought the idea to national attention, and in 1914 President Woodrow Wilson declared the first official Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Many nations followed suit, and what we know today as Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day was born. In Cross lues Germany, Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is called Muttertag. This was a holiday that was started in the 1930â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by then dictator, Adolf Hitler. Another origin of the tradition came out of England in the 1700â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, when servants were freed for a period of 1. Month that Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day occurs in the United States. time during the Easter season to go home and visit their â&#x20AC;&#x153;mother churchâ&#x20AC;? and other family members.

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Don’t let the little things get to you this year or you will miss out on a life-changing opportunity. Focus on what’s really important, forget about what everyone else says and does and follow your own path. Judge each step you take carefully and make sure that your motives are valid and realistic. Your numbers are 3, 15, 18, 22, 32, 38, 45 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Participate in activities you find exhilarating and you will meet someone to whom you can relate and form a friendship. A professional problem should get you thinking about your options. Don’t make an impulsive move; plan your future carefully. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Get your priorities straight and don’t allow anyone to push you in a direction that doesn’t feel right. Not everyone you talk to will be honest. You cannot let your emotions overrule common sense. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll discover something you can do well and enjoy doing. An opportunity to make extra money is apparent. An unusual meeting or get together will bring you in contact with someone who can market what you have to offer. Love is in the stars. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Use your intelligence coupled with your excellent memory to decipher the truth. Not everyone will be upfront with you, so do your own fact-finding. If someone puts pressure on you, don’t be afraid to walk away. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You have to separate who is using you and who is a loyal friend. Use your intuition to guide you. If something doesn’t feel right, take a pass. A love relationship will be enhanced if you have a heart-to-heart conversation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have to have a plan but don’t rule out tak-

ing an unusual approach in order to grab attention. Taking what you do best and making it appear effortless will impress people the most. Changing your mind will show your adaptability. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t sit back waiting to be discovered. You have talent, so show what you have to offer to the people most likely to require your services. Love is apparent and can accentuate opportunities that come along. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be careful not to let your heart rule your head when dealing with personal or professional matters. Hold off making an important decision if you are the least bit uncertain. Someone you are involved with will withhold information. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You’ll be drawn to any activity or event that promises excitement, adventure or thrill seeking. The more you explore your options, the less likely you are to remain in your current situation. Uncertainty at home will lead to a change. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Talks will lead to an unusual set of circumstances and will be a reminder of something from your past. A problem regarding a debt will cause you to take action before you suffer a loss. Get to the bottom of a personal situation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put your ideas to work for you. Your insight will surprise the people you are dealing with, allowing you greater freedom to move ahead. Love is on the rise and can bring about some interesting changes to how you live your life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone you least expect will be watching you. A romantic encounter can take place if you make the first move. Don’t limit what you can do because you fear rejection or failure. A confident approach will ensure you end up with what you want.

DEAR ABBY: “Just Clumsy in Amarillo” (March 24) could be my twin. I am also a klutz who bruises easily. Years ago, when I was a brand-new EMT, my arms were so bruised and purple from lifting stretchers that co-workers started asking if my husband was beating me. Luckily, my husband, a submariner, was on patrol at that time so it let him off the hook. My husband used to tell me the only reason he didn’t worry too much about me at work was because I wore steel-toed boots, and he suggested I buy steel-toed flip-flops and slippers. I can walk through the house and trip over nothing at all. I once broke all the toes on one foot sliding off an exam table in a doctor’s office. Tell “Clumsy” to hang in there. She’s not alone. Lord knows there are a lot of us klutzes out there and she’s in good company. As long as she can keep a sense of humor about her condition, she’ll be fine. — ANOTHER KLUTZ IN UTAH DEAR ANOTHER KLUTZ: I received many responses regarding being accident-prone. While many readers shared their “graceless” moments, others pointed out that it could be caused by a medical problem. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I have an inherited neuromuscular disorder called Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, also known as CMT. It is also called motor sensory neuropathy or peroneal

muscular atrophy. CMT affects the peripheral nerves. A common symptom is short wide feet with very high arches, weak ankles, and tripping over our own feet. Falling UP the stairs is what we do best. At family reunions, we sit around comparing our funny feet and the bruises from our frequent falls. “Clumsy” should see a neurologist for nerve conduction testing. The extent of her frequent “accidents” and bruising is not normal, and she needs to know what the problem is. — ESTHER, AN R.N. IN IDAHO DEAR ABBY: You were right to tell “Clumsy” that she shouldn’t avoid her friends as that would only increase their suspicions. However, she also needs to include her fiance more in their social activities. If her friends get to know him and discover that he is a kind and compassionate person who respects boundaries

DEAR ABBY: As a child, my mother always chided me to “watch out, pay attention and look where you are going.” I had bruises all over from bumping into things. At 45, I learned from an ophthalmologist that I had NO depth perception. Now I understand why I must look down when stepping off curbs or drive five car lengths behind other cars, etc. “Clumsy” needs to get a thorough eye exam and have her depth perception measured. — MADE SENSE OF IT DEAR ABBY: I am 31 and have been clumsy all my life. I have fallen on ice a few times this winter, even though I tried to be very cautious. Thankfully, I have sustained only some bruises and a few pulled muscles — no broken bones. I, too, have seen the looks, rolled eyes and heard the sighs of concerned friends. It’s hard not to become defensive when your friends might have a negative perception of your husband. I just smile and make playful reference to the fact that this has been going on far longer than I’ve known my husband. To “Clumsy”: Drink plenty of milk to keep your bones strong, and maintain a lighthearted attitude when the subject comes up. — NOT-SO-GRACIE IN NEW YORK

Growling sea lion pup pulled from under police car

Man charged with stealing firefighter’s helmet

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A sea lion pup has been captured after hiding under a San Diego police car for four hours in the middle of a road. Police Sgt. Jack Knish says officers got a call about 4 a.m. Wednesday that the pup was crossing a street in the Ocean Beach area. Knish says an officer parked his car in the middle of the road and went to investigate. That’s when the sea lion came out from under another car and scuttled under the patrol car. SeaWorld experts retrieved the growling pup at about 8 a.m. Rescuer Kevin Robinson grabbed it by the tail and put it in a net. Robinson says the pup, who’s less than a year old, was dehydrated but uninjured. He says the pup weighs about 25 pounds — less than half what it should weigh.

SEMINOLE, Fla. (AP) — A man was charged with stealing the helmet of a firefighter who responded to help his friend. The sheriff’s office reported that Seminole Fire Rescue firefighters responded to treat an ill person Sunday morning. While rescue workers were inside the home treating the sick person, authorities said a 21-year-old man got into the unlocked cab of the fire truck and took the helmet. The firefighter noticed that his helmet, worth about $500, was missing several hours later. Deputies were able to track it back to the man. He was charged with grand theft, burglary of an unoccupied vehicle and possession of a controlled substance. He was being held on $7,000 bail.

Mass. church to offer worship services for dogs DANVERS, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts church is scheduled to launch a new monthly worship service - for dogs. Calvary Episcopal Church will offer later this month its first “Perfect Paws Pet Ministry” aimed at giving area pooches and their owners improved odds at getting canines into heaven. The Danvers church plans to hold the service on the third Sunday of every month, complete with communion for the humans and special blessings for pets. Dogs will get special treats. Church officials said well-mannered, leashed dogs are invited. People can submit a paper prayer if their pets are sick, not good around other dogs or deceased. Prayers can also be offered for other types of pets. Rev. Thea Keith-Lucas said barking won’t be banned.

Up in smoke: Man wins at casino, loses it in blaze SOLVAY, N.Y. (AP) — A Syracuse-area man’s lucky day at an upstate casino has gone up in smoke — along with his winnings. Kenneth Lamoree said he returned to his home in Solvay around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday after winning $3,200 at the Turning Stone casino in Verona. A little more than an hour later, a fire broke out in the two-family home he shares with his fiancee and their three children. They and the family living downstairs escaped unharmed. Police evacuated residents of two neighboring houses as a precaution. The house suffered extensive damage and its contents — including Lamoree’s wallet with his casino winnings — are believed to have been destroyed. Lamoree said he had planned to use the money to pay bills.

Pray for our nation in these times Q: I get very disillusioned with the way our politicians squabble all the time. Do you see any hope for the future, or is our nation headed for the trash heap like every other civilization? -- K.M. A: This week, millions of people in our country will be observing the annual National Day of Prayer — and I hope you’ll be joining them. May Samuel’s words to the people of his day guide us as well: “As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you” (1 Samuel 12:23). Yes, it’s easy to get disillusioned over the complex problems our nation faces — not just in politics but in almost every part of our society. More than ever, we seem to have lost our way, and millions of young people are growing up without ever learning the difference between right and wrong. We’re in danger of becoming like the ancient Israelites during the days of the judges, when chaos ruled because “every man did that which was right in his own eyes” (Judges 21:25, KJV). Where will we turn for answers? We need to turn to God, for only He can change our hearts and turn us away from that which is evil toward that which is good. It has happened before -- and it can happen again. Don’t despair, but pray and trust God to work in our midst. The Bible tells us to pray for “all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” (1 Timothy 2:2). Yes, pray daily for our nation, that God will turn us back to Himself. But may it begin in your life, as you turn to Christ in repentance and faith, and commit your life to Him.

Expo showcases local businesses M

ark your calendars for Wednesday, May 12. The Central Carolina Small Business Expo is back, different, but better than ever. Expo 2010, located in the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center in Sanford, will open its doors to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “We have not raised our entrance fee to allow anyone to come and enjoy the show for a minimal $2 or three cans of food — and it can even be dog or cat food for those animal lovers. We are, again, happily donating all canned food contributions to two organizations that help our local community, Christian United Outreach Center and Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption (CARA),” says Nancy Gust of sponsoring Central Electric Membership Corporation. “The monetary earnings from the entrance fee are used to help offset the cost of the Expo’s seven food vendors that will be serving free samples all day and also used to contribute to various aspects of the business community. Central Electric Membership Corporation is pleased to join with the Chamber and the College to drive this focus for small business.” This year marks the 22nd Annual Central Carolina Small Business Expo. It is organized by the Expo Steering Committee that is comprised of sponsors and business volunteers. They have been hard at work behind the scenes since October 2009. However, as they anticipate another successful year, they know Expo could not have been possible without Don Stec, Judi Marsh and Doris Cupps, who dreamt of and began the annual celebration in 1989. The Expo Steering Committee is simply making sure their intentions stay alive. “Our objective in the last 22 years has remained the same: recognize small businesses. We do this every May during a celebratory ‘Small Business Week’ with a one-two punch — one being the Small Business Banquet and two being the Small Business Expo,” says Jim Felton, Central Carolina Community College Small Business Center Director and Expo Co-Chair. “They both spotlight small businesses, their impact on our community’s economy, and their contributions in all aspects of a community’s quality of life.” “This year, we have over 90 exhibitors registered in the Expo. They consist of, but are not limited, to bakeries, beauty consultants, boats, building materials, business associations, carpet, cars, Christian books, communications, cosmetics, energy solutions, fitness, gift boutiques, home furnishings, interior décor & design, landscaping, nonprofits, personal care, restaurants, salons, senior care, technology, traditional home construction, web design and women’s fashion,” says Zhyra Barber of the CCCC Small Business Center. “But it doesn’t stop there.We also have accounting, banking and financial, commercial sales, chiropractic, healthcare, insurance, investments, medical, personnel associations, pet care, photography, public news

media, public radio, public TV, real estate, schools, transportation maintenance and travel. So, basically, something for everyone!” “People will not want to miss this year’s Expo. There are over 25 new exhibitors, new products and services, and new surprises,” says Felton. “The event continues to grow more popular each year. We estimate 1,6002,000 visitors this year alone. Interest in this year’s show has been high since January when we started taking exhibitor registrations. Now, there are only a few booths left, but we anticipate the booths to be filled by Expo opening.” Every Expo is always different than the years before. This year’s biggest change is delivering the biggest buzz: retail sales. “For the first time ever, we are allowing retail sales to take place. Many retail vendors, such as gift stores and bakeries, will be present on the floor this year,” says Barber. “Allowing retail sales have attracted many new first-time exhibitors (Added Accents, Shops of Steele Street, Kathryn’s Hallmark & Fiona’s, Goodies Galore, Amber Bakery & Catering, and Mary Kay), while pleasing many repeat-exhibitors (The Carpenter’s Shop, Avon and The Painted Petal). It broadens the value and experience of the exhibitors and the attendees. So, bring your wallets and purses and enjoy a little shopping therapy at Expo 2010.” Year after year, Expo’s food vendors provide a “Taste of Lee County” that has always been a major crowd pleaser. This year is no different. Relish in the tasty samples, goodies, beverages and possibly a special coupon from The Steele Pig, Graham’s Café, Sagebrush Steakhouse & Saloon, Quizno’s Subs, Yarborough’s Ice Cream, Pizza Inn and Smith’s Coffee & Premium Water. A couple of restaurants may sound new and a couple may be your tried-and-true. Either way, make sure to check all seven of them out. Bon appétit! Expo has become an event that Lee County looks forward to each year, and it is certainly a major event that businesses take advantage of in our area. It is the place to be on May 12th this year. Bob Joyce, Chamber President, says, “In this challenging economic environment, the Chamber’s goal is to help businesses, especially our members, to be successful. Expo is an excellent venue in which to showcase new products or services to prospective consumers … some of whom are newcomers to our area. “Expo also provides support for building our business community. The proceeds generated from Expo

are used to market our community to consumers and visitors, promote a business-friendly environment, and offer scholarships to our Leedership Sanford Program. A small portion of the proceeds provides a monetary award for ‘Best Business Plan’ to participants in the CCCC Rural Entrepreneurs through Action Learning (REAL) Program each year. So, we are very pleased to unite with the Small Business Center and our generous sponsors to present this remarkable business show for the 22nd year.” Kicking off the Expo is the ever popular Business-To-Business Breakfast (invitation only), 7:30 a.m.–10 a.m., sponsored by Triangle South Workforce Development Board and coordinated by Jane Wesley of Economic Development Corporation (EDC). The Business-to-Business allows exhibitors and VIP ticket holders a chance to preview the show, network with one another and enjoy a light breakfast. “Triangle South Workforce Development Board is thrilled to sponsor the Business-to-Business Breakfast of Expo 2010. I believe it adds value to our marketing effort and our fellow exhibitors’ marketing effort in the community,” says Cindy Casler, first-time sponsor. Members of the Expo Steering Committee emphasize the only way to get into the Business-to-Business Breakfast is with a VIP ticket. “These tickets allow you free entrance into the show all day, so everyone seems to want one. And there are several thousand out there waiting to be yours. But the only way to get the VIP tickets is to visit the different exhibitors, industries, Chamber businesses and government agencies in our area that we have given the tickets to for distribution to their preferred clients and others they deem special. One could be yours, so see them today,” says Sam Sillaman of All Digital Printing. “The morning kickoff has always been a great way to increase the opportunity exposure for our VIP business contacts and offers an excellent value to our exhibitors, too.” The biggest draw of the Business-to-Business kickoff may be Tom Shay, principal of Profits Plus. He will present a seminar during the morning session. He is a nationally recognized small business consultant, a fourth-generation business owner, author, columnist and speaker. With over 25 years of frontline experience in management and ownership of small businesses, Tom Shay shares and teaches from experience — not from theory! Only Business-to-Business Breakfast attendees will have the first opportunity to hear Shay speak at 8 a.m. in the Lecture Hall. His topic, “Strategies to Win in 2010,” explains how the challenging economy can actually provide a business with some great opportunities as the competition is often retreating without any plans. After his presentation, he is offering a discount price of $25 for a one-to-one counseling session. If you are interested, but do not have

Expo, banquet traditions continue From Jim Felton

Chairman 22nd Annual Central Carolina Small Business Expo

am pleased to report that through the efforts of the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce; Central Electric Membership Corporation; WWGP Broadcasting Group; Wright Travel; Davenport, Marvin, Joyce & Co. and Central Carolina Community College’s Small Business Center, the Small Business Banquet and Expo continue their traditions. Yes, this Small Business Banquet will be the community’s 25th annual event. The Expo started up three years later and the rest is history. Credit for these two celebrations should go to Hal Siler, Don Stec and Judi Marsh and others, I am sure. Though, they would be first to tell Felton you many people have contributed and made this possible. In fact, we still have quite a team. Margaret Murchison served on the very first Steering Committee and actively serves now.

Certainly, over the past year, we have experienced a very difficult economy. Some say the worst since the ’60s. I don’t know about that, but I do know businesses and our community have really been challenged. Friends, you have heard this before, but if ever you wanted to help, please “Shop LocalLee” whenever possible. That’s the focus of the Expo theme and should be our focus this year. We have such a great team now that if you haven’t attended a Small Business Banquet or the Expo in the last few years you have no idea of the energy, excitement and just plain fun there is at these events. This year, for the first time, there will be product and service sales on the floor during the Expo. This year will be special! What a treat, as this year’s Banquet celebrates musician Maurice Williams of the fabulous Zodiacs which should prove to be a smash hit. Thanks, WWGP Broadcasting Group, for bringing him! Making up our team are Expo’s key corporate sponsor, Central Electric Membership Corporation; Banquet sponsor, Davenport, Marvin, Joyce & Co.,LLP; Entertainment Sponsor “Extraordinaire,” WWGP Broadcasting Group; Business-To-Business sponsor, Triangle South Workforce Development Board, and Expo’s grand draw-

ing sponsor, Wright Travel. Thanks to each of these businesses for making this celebration of business and its impact on our community a real success! This great team also includes the Steering Committee, a group of hard working professionals selflessly dedicated to assuring that small business is aptly recognized. Please join our committee, the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce and Central Carolina Community College as we offer a sincere thanks and appreciation to Morris McClelion, CEO & GM of Central Electric; Pamela Wright, President, and Janet Whitehead, GM, of Wright Travel; Richard Feindel, President of WWGP Broadcasting Group; Cindy Casler and her board, Triangle South Workforce Development Board, for their generous sponsorships as they have each come forward to make these events a success. They join with us to recognize the vital importance of the small business community to the greater economy of Lee County. On behalf of our large team of dedicated professionals and wonderful sponsors, we want to encourage everyone to mark their calendar now and come to celebrate with us for the Thursday, May 6th, Banquet, and Wednesday, May 12th, Expo.

Retail, service industry essential From BOB HEUTS

Lee County EDC Director

ongratulations again to the Central Carolina Community College Small Business Center and the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce, Jim Felton and the Expo Committee for their efforts in developing another successful celebration and tribute to small business. Many services and all different types Heuts of retail are offered in Lee County. Per capita sales are historically higher in Lee County compared to Harnett and Chatham counties which reflects the strength, quality and convenience of our service sector. The retail and service

sector is an important component of the total package that is available in Lee County. Those services distinguish us from the other rural counties in the surrounding area. I have said this before and will say it again: If you cannot find it (service or product) in Lee County, then you probably do not need it. With the help of the committee, Jim Felton improves the Expo every year with new and different businesses exhibiting their wares and services and repeat businesses that have expanded services in response to needs in our community. Small business is responsible for creating many of the new jobs year after year. Start-ups have special needs in financing, asset management and personnel in order to be successful. Also, mentors are needed to show potential businesses the advantages and pitfalls of decisions in marketing their product. If you think a small business

can benefit by your experiences, there is a way to help by calling Jim Felton at the Central Carolina Small Business Center. All of these services are available here locally and can be coordinated by the Small Business Center. The Lee County Committee of 100, Inc. and the Lee County Economic Development Corporation recognize the importance of and supports small business development as a way for Lee County to continue to grow and prosper. This year’s Small Business Expo again highlights our local vendors, their products and their services. It is well worth a visit to see who is exhibiting and the services being offered. These businesses work hard to stay competitive and everyone visiting will learn at the Expo. Visit the Expo. You will learn something new!

DMJ sponsors Banquet

avenport, Marvin, Joyce & Co., LLP is proud to sponsor the Small Business Banquet this year and we believe this to be an important event to recognize our business community.

Welcome to 2010 Small Business Expo From Bob Joyce

President Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce

or the 22nd year, the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to co-host the Small Business Expo at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center on Wednesday, May 12th. This year, for the first time, our small business exhibitors will be offering their products and services for sale to the public during the Expo. On behalf of the members of the Chamber of Commerce, we invite you to the Small Business Expo. Bring a friend and see what Central Carolina merchants have to offer. Joyce Some exhibitors have purchased special merchandise for sale only at the Expo. Other merchants are offering merchandise markdown coupons for Expo visitors only. The 2010 Expo promises to be the most exciting display of local products and services ever assembled. The Expo highlights our service industries, in addition to our

traditional products industry. Sponsors for this year’s Expo are Central Electric Membership Corporation, Triangle South Workforce Development, WFJA, WWGP and Wright Travel. The Small Business Banquet, to be held on Thursday, May 6th, is sponsored by Davenport, Marvin, Joyce and Co., certified public accountants and wealth advisors with offices in Sanford, Greensboro and Burlington. The banquet, held annually for over 25 years, honors our local small business community with recognition and awards for their service to our community. The Chamber is grateful for the participation of our merchants in this annual event. Here are a few quick facts about small business people — some 20 million strong across the country — who are the “muscle” of our economy: n account for nearly 50% of the gross national product. n create two of every three new jobs nationally. n produce two and a half times as many innovations as big companies. n small business owners are risk-takers; 66% survive after two years; only 44% operate four years or more.

n at any point in time, about 1 in 10 Americans is trying to start a business. This entrepreneurial spirit makes our economy the strongest in the world. As you can see, the importance of small employers to our economic well being cannot be overstated. They provide employment for our citizens, job creation to grow our economy and innovation to create wealth and investment. Come enjoy a stroll through the Expo and remember to always Shop LocalLee!

Why CEMC sponsors the Expo From Central Electric Membership Corporation

othing better represents the community than the small businesses at its foundation. Central Electric has been serving Lee, Chatham, Harnett, Moore and Randolph counties for more than 65 years, and is proud to help by sponsoring 22nd Annual Central Carolina Small Business Expo. A sponsor of the Small Business Expo for the past nine years and a participant since its inception, Central Electric strongly supports the values exhibited

by the many small business owners. As a Touchstone Energy Cooperative, we share a commitment to the community. The Expo is a true reflection of the small businesses in the area. It’s professionally done and is an economical way to showcase the varied products and services offered locally. As it grows each year, the event draws larger and larger crowds, allowing businesses the opportunity to get even more exposure. For the first time since inception, exhibitors will be selling goods and service to attendees at the show. The Chamber of Commerce does an excellent job

Musician Maurice Williams will be honored at banquet From RICHAEL FEINDEL WWGP-WFJA

t has truly been a pleasure for me and WWGP and WFJA to present the entertainment each year at the Small Business Banquet. In addition, I serve as the chairman of the Awards Committee. This year promises to be a year that will be long remembered. We are honored to present Maurice Williams, a true music legend, with the Lifetime Achievement Award at tonight’s Small Business Banquet. Feindel Maurice is celebrating 50 years in the entertainment business. His music is known all over the world with hits such as “Stay,” “May I,” “Little Darling” and many more. Maurice has also given back to society in many ways, his favorite

charity being Boys’ and Girls’ Homes of Lake Waccamaw, N.C. I am sure that everyone will be pleased to meet Maurice Williams and his wife tonight. The award was presented to Charlie Daniels in 2008 and Richard Petty in 2009. It is truly an honor to have the opportunity to work with such North Carolina legends. It is even more special this year for us at WWGP and WFJA because we have played Maurice Williams and the Zodiac’s hits for years. We are also fortunate to have Four Heart Harmony as tonight’s entertainment. Everyone should enjoy their unique blend of voices. Maurice Williams’ favorite charity is Boys and Girls Home of NC. The Chamber and CCCC Small Business Center would like to donate a goal of $1,000 in honor of Williams. If you would like to contribute, send your checks in the name of the Boys & Girls Home of NC, “Honoring Maurice Williams” in the memo line, to: CCCC/SBC, c/o Jim Felton, 1801 Nash St., Sanford, N.C. 27330.

promoting the Expo, and money left after expenses is used to fund scholarships and leadership classes. Central Electric welcomes the added bonus of helping support educational endeavors locally. Working together toward a common goal is the benchmark for the cooperative way of doing business — and the Small Business Expo parallels this. In addition to helping fund scholarships, the event allows visitors to the Expo to substitute the cost of admission with three cans of food. A local food pantry will be benefited.

Evermore committed to small businesses From Stelfanie Williams Vice President Central Carolina Community College

entral Carolina Community College has a long-standing commitment to small businesses and entrepreneurship, and today that commitment could not be stronger. We are proud of the Small Business Expo, the services it provides, and the partnered effort with corporate sponsors and the Sanford Area Chamber

to deliver it to the business community. This year, no doubt, will prove to be the best yet with increased networking and marketing opportunities.

Engaging speaker will visit here From DAVID MONTGOMERY Executive Director Downtown Sanford, Inc.

he Grand Canyon, the Statue of Liberty and a Grown Man in Red Cowboy Boots. What do these three have in common? Well, everyone should see these three things before they die. And you are in luck because you will have the opportunity to make number three on that list come true. Downtown Sanford, Inc., the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce and the Sanford Business & Profssional Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Organization have invited nationally recognized small business consultant Tom Shay to Montgomery share his insights on making better business decisions today that will make ones business better in the future. The first opportunity to hear him speak will be on Wednesday, May 12, at 8 a.m. during the Businessto-Business Breakfast in the Auditorium at the Small

Business Expo. His topic that morning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Strategies to Win in 2010 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; explains how the challenging economy can actually provide a business with some great opportunities as the competition is often retreating without any plans. Then on Thursday, May 13, he will speak at Downtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Temple Theatre at 8 a.m. There his session â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Keys to Building Strong Retailers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will teach existing businesses how to become better businesses and how businesses can work with one another to become better businesses. So what is this guy going to say or do that is going to make a difference to your business? Tom practices what he preaches. I for one have experienced first-hand some of the techniques he espouses; if not for the persistent yet polite phone calls every four months after he spoke at a North Carolina Main Street Conference two years ago, I probably would have forgotten about him. It was these gentle reminders that triggered my memory that made me think we need this engaging speaker to come speak to our downtown merchants and our business community.

Come Support Small Business In Lee County

Besides, Tom is a fourth-generation business owner. As such he knows the everyday issues that families and individuals, whose livelihood depends on the results of their business, have to deal with. Over the course of the two days, Tom will also be conducting 60- to 90-minute one-on-one consultations. The charge for individual consultations is $25. Tom will help those participating in the consultations to analyze their responses to a questionnaire that has been filled out prior to his arrival. That way Tom is already prepared prior to his visit and has the ability to understand oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns and make suggestions for improvements. For more information, Mr. Shayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website can be found at www.profitsplus.org. If you plan on taking advantage of one of the consultations, please let the Chamber of Commerce or Downtown Sanford, Inc. know as space may be limited. If you cannot participate in one of those consultations, I encourage you to at least attend one or both of these group sessions as they are absolutely free! Besides, who can resist seeing a grown man in red cowboy boots.

couple of weeks ago I spoke to a local civic club and I usually end one of my presentations with some Q&A. Most of the questions I get start like this, “When are we going to get…?” You can fill in your own area of interest. It’s pretty obvious just by riding around Sanford that this market is ripe for retail and commercial development. When I answer the aforementioned question I usually begin with a “blazing flash of the obvious.” We have a great market and any business that locates here has Bridwell an excellent opportunity for success. There is a core population within the city of some 30,000 people and close to 100,000 people within a 30 minute drive. Sanford is probably one of the most accessible markets in the state. Based on historic trends our market is growing at a rapid 2½-3 percent per year. That rate doesn’t even factor in the expected growth we’ll certainly receive. It is generally accepted that retail development typically lags 3-5 years behind population growth. We are experiencing considerable retail and com-

a VIP ticket, please contact the CCCC Small Business Center, the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce or Downtown Sanford Incorporated (DSI). “With all the morning excitement, Business-ToBusiness breakfast patrons also will be treated to a breakfast catered by Chef Paul, Smith’s Coffee and Premium Water and Fresh Choice Cafe. Providing firstrate food in the morning event has always been a great way to bring exhibitors and the VIP guests together for a more intimate networking experience. Exhibitors and VIP guests can generate new contacts and renew old ones prior to the rush of the public,” says Wesley. As if the Expo did not offer enough, there will be door prizes. The first drawing will be held during the Business-to-Business with compliments of the sponsor, Triangle South Workforce Development Board. All morning attendees, including exhibitors, will be eligible for the drawing. At the time of print, the prize was known to strengthen a business’ marketing effort, but the specifics were unknown. The prize is valued at $500. For the past 20 years, Wright Travel has sponsored

mercial growth. All you have to do is ride around town and you’ll see a fairly impressive number of commercial projects under construction. Typically these are small local businesses that have confidence in our market. We’re seeing a number of service related businesses such as health care, financial and legal currently building new facilities. Each of these new developments is recognizing growing market opportunities that foster confidence in long-term success. Not only is our population base expanding but we’re also experiencing some dramatic demographic changes that are creating new business opportunities. It’s no secret that our national and local economies are being influenced by “baby boomers” like me. As “me and the gang” approach retirement age there is an ever expanding demand for more and different health services, investment needs and life style choices. Data also suggests that Lee County have a relatively low median age which typically equates to young families with children. That means we are not just a growing market of “old folk” but also a market with a bunch of kids. You can look around and see local businesses responding to these market changes. Here’s the kicker. When I think of the “quality of life” deal what comes to my mind are things like parks, schools, museums, libraries and all that stuff. To many people, however, when you ask them how they measure quality it usually comes to “when do we get a Target (or Outback, Starbuck’s, Barnes and Noble) or

any of the national chains that seem to define shopping and entertainment.” From the retail perspective the standard answer as to why we don’t have more national chain presence has been “our market is not large enough and/or we’re too close to larger urban markets.” Neither answer is as accurate as it once was just a few years ago. Sanford is one of the more dynamic micropolitan markets in the nation with exceptional access to adjacent counties and market attraction. Sufficient “rooftops” has been the traditional requirement of many marketing departments to warrant research into new store locations. Our planners, economic development folks and our Chamber will tell you that we see “mystery shoppers” every day scouting out potential locations. Although we remain very accessible to and part of the Triangle an important trend over the past several years is a demand for products and services closer to home. Most national marketers have recognized this demand by providing more stores with less “drive times” and greater convenience. Many retailers and financial institutions have adopted a “street corner strategy” where they market nationally and sell locally. Market research has taken on a much tighter approach. At the same time data is much more accessible. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have revolutionized market research and retailers can tell what’s going on within a city block.

a grand prize drawing that is always an Expo enticement. “We have had a very special sponsorship with Wright Travel, and are extremely honored to have had their support over those years,” according to Felton. Janet Whitehead, Wright’s Travel Consultant and Manager, says, “We are pleased to support the Expo with an airline ticket to anywhere in the Continental United States. Wright Travel has participated in the Expo many years, and we always look forward to seeing new faces as well as familiar ones. Please drop by our Booth (#213 in the Main Hall) to enter for the airline ticket drawing.” Officials state that the drawing for the airline ticket will occur just prior to 4 p.m., and you need not be present to win. The committee is also planning to hold a special drawing during the lunch hours to encourage more attendance and fun within that time frame. “We are drawing for a big screen TV, compliments of our Business-to-Business sponsor, Triangle South Workforce Development Board. The drawing will be held at 12:30 p.m. and you must be present to win. Exhibitors, employees, committee or affiliates are ineligible for this drawing,” says Yvonne Bullard, committee member. “The Expo turnout, which has been continuously increasing each year, and the Expo registration momentum is a validation that the Expo has become more than a tradition in Sanford. It also offers great

marketing value to exhibitors and a fun experience for all attendees,” says Felton. “This year’s event will boast over 90 exhibitors ranging from many categories in the business spectrum. The co-sponsor relationship with the Chamber, the sponsors and the College has been a great way to solidify the Expo and Banquet. The energy has begun to grow even more with the great sponsor involvement from Central Electric Membership Corporation; Triangle South Workforce Development Board; WWGP Broadcasting Corporation; Davenport, Marvin, Joyce & Co. and Wright Travel. Their collective effort has done a great service and recognizes the significant contributions that small businesses are to our community in which we live, work and play. We certainly applaud all of the local small businesses, our exhibitors and sponsors for these contributions.” Expo 2010 aims to be the best ever, so you will not want to miss it! Save the date: Wednesday, May 12th, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Come, bring $2 or three cans of food, and enjoy the Central Carolina Small Business Expo. See you there!
