City won’t see a tax increase Sanford Manager’s ‘conservative’ budget will freeze some government jobs By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Sanford officials on Wednesday presented what City Manager Hal Hegwer described as a “conservative” $40.5 million budget that maintains

Sanford’s current tax rate. The proposal, inked by city financial heads, was presented to the Sanford finance committee and is expected to be considered by the full City Council next week. It comes with a roughly

$285,000 drop in projected general fund revenues for the city, as well as a handful of frozen government jobs and continued strain on Sanford employees’ pocketbooks due to rising health

Almanac Today is Thursday, May 13, the 133rd day of 2010. There are 232 days left in the year. This day in history: On May 13, 1940, in his first speech as prime minister of Britain, Winston Churchill told Parliament, “I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this government: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.” In 1607, English colonists arrived by ship at the site of what became the Jamestown settlement in Virginia. In 1917, three shepherd children near Fatima, Portugal, reported seeing a vision of the Virgin Mary. In 1918, the first U.S. airmail stamps, featuring a picture of a Curtiss JN-4 biplane, were issued to the public. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed into law the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Act. The musical play “The Pajama Game” opened on Broadway. In 1958, Vice President Richard Nixon and his wife, Pat, were spat upon and their limousine battered by rocks thrown by anti-U.S. demonstrators in Caracas, Venezuela. In 1968, a one-day general strike took place in France in support of student protesters. In 1981, Pope John Paul II was shot and seriously wounded in St. Peter’s Square by Turkish assailant Mehmet Ali Agca. In 1985, a confrontation between Philadelphia authorities and the radical group MOVE ended as police dropped a bomb onto the group’s row house; 11 people, including founder John Africa, died in the resulting fire that destroyed 61 homes.

U.S. 64

N.C. BOYS CHOIR

State wants to ease flow from Cary to Pittsboro

Group to kick off spring tour in Sanford

CARY (MCT) — Dan Epstein moved to Cary from New York to get away from the hustle, bustle — and complicated traffic patterns — of big-city living. But the things from which he sought refuge appear to have followed him south, and he’s not pleased. Epstein is among the vocal group of western Wake County residents who last year fought a proposal to turn U.S. 64 into an elevated expressway. The N.C. Department of Transportation dropped that idea and a few others Wednesday. “The public felt that an elevated expressway through their community would be too intrusive and would move the traffic way too fast,� said Dan Thomas, a DOT planning engineer. DOT planners also backed away from other unpopular ideas as they released a new plan for easing traffic jams and handling growth over the next 30 years on a 19-mile stretch of U.S. 64 between Cary and Pittsboro. But Epstein and other organizers of Save 64, a grassroots group formed last year, said the new plan is still disappointing. “We want to preserve the integrity of our community,� Epstein said. “The real battle is that the state is trying to create an uninterrupted route between Raleigh and Charlotte.� The state said it wants to keep the busy part of U.S. 64 in western Wake from growing into a dreadful drive resembling the clogged Capital Boulevard in northern Wake County. Much of the worst congestion is around traffic-signal intersections on U.S. 64. Drivers frequently are backed up waiting for others to make left turns, and cars on side roads face long waits for short green lights. Part of the state’s plan involves steps to block side-street drivers from crossing or turning left onto U.S. 64. Last year’s version proposed newfangled “superstreet� loops at seven intersections between U.S. 1 in Cary and N.C. 751 in Chatham County, and a few more between N.C. 751 and Pittsboro. Under that scheme, all side-street drivers would have to turn right onto U.S. 64. To go back the other way, they would make Uturns across the median. The new plan drops the superstreet idea at the clogged Laura Duncan Road intersection in Apex. Parents warned in a noisy public hearing last July that students from nearby Apex High would be run over by cars when they tried to walk across the new road. So DOT came up with a new approach for Laura Duncan Road, something not seen before in North Carolina called a “modern roundabout interchange.� The intersection would be converted to an interchange, with Laura Duncan passing over U.S. 64. Instead of a simple overpass road, Laura Duncan would become a flattened circle — stretching across the bridge and connecting to the U.S. 64 ramps on both sides. Drivers exiting from U.S. 64 would make a right turn onto the roundabout as it circles across the bridge. A sidewalk would take pedestrians around the outside of the loop. — The Cary News

SANFORD — The North Carolina Boys Choir will kick off its 2010 spring concert tour with a concer at a local church on Friday. The performance will start at 7 p.m. at Jonesboro United Methodist Church, located at 407 W. Main Street in Sanford. There is no charge for the event and reservations are not required. The North Carolina Boys Choir is one of the few existing boychoirs in the country. It is the only full time boychoir in the Southeast and one of only two in the nation to be named as the state boychoir by a gubernatorial designation. Both the concert choir, made up of 32 boys ranging in age from nine to 15 years old, and the chamber choir, which includes young men of high school and early college age, will perform several selections, both of a religious nature and beyond, said Jonesboro UMC Director of Music Ministries Dwayne Williams, who set up the concert earlier in

WANT TO GO? The North Carolina Boys Choir will kick off its 2010 spring concert tour with a concert at 7 p.m. Friday at Jonesboro United Methodist Church, located at 407 W. Main Street in Sanford.

In the past, the choir has include boys from Lee County, but the current roster does not. Williams, who also teaches music at Greenwood Elementary School, said the concert is also a great chance for young people and parents in Sanford to become accustomed to the choir, and possibly audition for it down the road. Current Musical

Director William Graham founded the choir in 1972 as the Durham Boys Choir. The choir exists as a private music organization, and the boys attend their own elementary and middle schools in a five-city area. It is based in Durham and through the years has enjoyed a close relationship with the Duke University Chapel, where the choir often performs. Each member of the

Concert Choir (touring ensemble) was initially selected through several auditions and has gone through the ranks of the Training Choir (beginning choir), as well as an accelerated training unit of the boychoir education process. The organization also has a Chamber Choir of tenors and basses, which is comprised of young men and adults, high school aged and up.

The choir presents two major performances each year at Duke Chapel, and traditionally sings in the Duke Chapel Service of Worship the Sunday before Christmas. The choir has appeared on statewide television in a special program Christmas at the Governor’s Mansion, and most recently was featured on North Carolina People hosted by Dr. William Friday.

Exonerated man deserves timely pardon Their View

Greensboro News and Record

Issue:

everal days after Greg Taylor was exonerated by the N.C. Innocence Inquiry Commission, Gov. Bev Perdue vowed, “I will work aggressively to make sure he gets whatever he is owed by the state.” She hasn’t kept her word. It’s been almost three months since the three-judge panel found Taylor innocent of murdering a Raleigh woman, for which he served 17 years in prison. Under state guidelines, those wrongly convicted and imprisoned are entitled to be

Gov. Perdue’s pending pardon of Greg Taylor, who was found innocent in February of a crime for which he served 17 years in prison

Our stance: It’s time for the governor to keep her word and give Taylor the respect he deserves

S

fairly compensated for time lost. Taylor could get $750,000, but only if Perdue grants him a pardon. A spokesperson says one won’t be issued until the governor sees more evidence. Apparently, that means waiting for tests on clothing worn by Taylor on the night of the crime. Keep in mind he agreed to the tests, and Raleigh police say Taylor isn’t a target of the reopened probe. Besides, he couldn’t be retried for the crime. According to the spokesperson, before granting the par-

don, which she says “should be an easy decision,” the governor would like to review DNA results — whenever that might be. Former state Supreme Court Chief Justice I. Beverly Lake, whose work led to creating the innocence commission, finds Perdue’s foot-dragging to be “outrageous.” Delaying the awarding of compensation to which Taylor is entitled makes his readjustment to life on the outside all the more challenging. Rather than making amends for a wrongful conviction based on sloppy police work, mishandled evidence and misleading

court testimony, the state continues setting up roadblocks. Ed Taylor, Greg’s father and a Greensboro resident, says the DMV has withheld issuance of a driver’s license because of an unresolved DWI case -- an odd tactic considering Greg Taylor hasn’t driven for 17 years. That’s longer than any likely license suspension. As for compensating those wrongly convicted, the General Assembly should give that authority to the innocence commission. Perdue’s performance underscores that a governor shouldn’t be able to impede that process.

Letters to the Editor Investment firms should pay price for deception To the Editor:

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

Sleight of hand

R

ALEIGH — Coming soon to a town relatively near you: Legislato the Magnificento, the greatest magician alive.. Watch as he dazzles with one hand, holding up another round of eye-catching ethics reform. In the other hand, he’ll quietly and deftly shuffle hundreds of thousands of dollars through various campaign accounts, a sleight of hand accomplished with a tricky loophole that he’ll never reveal or give up. Yes, the North Carolina General Assembly is coming back to the state capital this week, convening for what legislative leaders hope will be a session lasting just a couple of months. The biggest order of business will be passing a state budget in another year where money is scarce, tax collections down. Other than the budget, another batch of ethics reform awaits legislators. The focus is likely to be on bills already passed by the House last year, with a few modifications, that would require state board and commission appointees to disclosure campaign fund-raising activities and prohibit some vendors holding state contracts from giving to the politicians who oversee those contracts. Action is also likely on a House proposal to keep high-level executive branch employees from registering as lobbyists immediately after leaving their positions. Some additional ethics requirements that Gov. Beverly Perdue has placed on her board and commission appointees, including meeting attendance requirements, also may be put on all state appointees. ... In fairness to our legislators and the current legislative leadership, they did pass significant ethics reforms in 2006 and 2007, helping to change the culture of the legislature. Gift bans and conflict of interest laws mean that legislators no longer troll around following floor sessions in search of a lobbyist to treat them to a fancy steak dinner. ... Lobbyists worry about whether their actions could represent conflicts that could run afoul of the law and damage their clients. Still, legislators on both sides of the aisle have shown no interest in closing the campaign-giving loophole that allows large sums of money to be passed through the political parties, circumventing a $4,000 donation limit. It’s a loophole that is central to the ongoing scandal surrounding former Gov. Mike Easley. Donors connected to Easley gave five- and six-figure donations to the state Democratic Party at the same time they sought development-related regulatory approvals from his administration. That loophole also allows legislative leaders, particularly the Democrats in power, to easily target swing districts critical to keeping or winning majorities in the legislature. ... If legislative leaders want to get serious about a true source of corruption in North Carolina, they’ll stop the magic show, acknowledge the sleight of hand and agree to no longer perform this little trick.

Kids out of control S

AN DIEGO — I have no idea what five students at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Calif., have in mind by way of career plans, but they should take up acting. They’re good at it.

Try to follow this. ... Goldman sets up a hedge fund made up of high risk trades. These were actually bundled up subprime loans — loans banks were regulated against making because they would never “pass the mustard test.” Anyone with common sense knew most of these subprime loans were doomed to fail. Then Goldman easily convinces investors this fund is a great investment. They even invest in it themselves. Then they take out insurance (called Credit Default Swaps-CDS) that bet against the fund. These CDSs are the actual root of the credit crisis. They were not insured at face value, they were insured for many times that amount. Individuals made billions of dollars. By not letting investors in on this incredible deal, I call that being mislead. Many Americans, including me, lost thousands upon thousands of dollars due to this unbelievable deception! All of these investment firms that pulled this off should be drawn and quartered. Think that will ever happen? TIM BOYLES Sophia

RE: Parents to LCS: Don’t leave ‘gifted’ behind Many of us left the meeting after the public comments were closed because there were others in the hallway that needed to come in. We, in essence, gave up our seats for others that were still on the agenda. I belive that is common courtesy, esp. given the space limitations and the presence of the Fire Marshall. There is very little transparency with what all happens inside of the schools. Even parents with children in the AIG program were unaware of the changes that have been implimented and those that are being proposed. Meetings are either not open to the public or not announced. Many people feel as if their voices are not heard.

Drug agents seize 53 doses of crack Street value of drugs estimated at $1,260 By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Sanford investigators busted a pair of locals on drug charges Wednesday. Agents from the Sanford Police Department’s Tactical Narcotics Team raided a residence at 219 Circle Drive, seizing 53

dosages of crack cocaine and 1 gram of powder cocaine. Police arrested two residents of the home, 42-year-old Larry Donnell Williams and 24-year-old Aisha Koya Hall. Both are charged with possession with the intent to sell cocaine,

maintaining a dwelling to keep drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia. Police say they obtained a search warrant for the home following an investigation. The drugs have a total estimated street value of $1,260. Both Williams and Hall were being held in Lee County Jail under a

$30,000 bond. Williams has a history of crime, according to state criminal databases, having been convicted of drug, breaking and entering and larceny charges since 1991. Hall’s criminal record is more limited, including one conviction last September for possession of drug paraphernalia in Lee County.

Expo Continued from Page 1A

Pool, an independent Mary Kay cosmetics consultant, joined nearly 100 other entrepreneurs touting their businesses and their products at the 23rd annual Small Business Expo, sponsored by the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce and the community college’s Small Business Center. But for Pool — a firsttimer at the Expo — and other retailers, this year was more special (and profitable). For the first time, businesses were allowed to sell their goods to Expo visitors and ring up the sales on site at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center. And even though not everyone in attendance knew of the rule change, the businesses on hand were pleased with their newfound freedom to sell. “It’s been going very well today,� said Pool, who helped man a table that sold cosmetic packages, individual items and skin creams. “Being allowed to sell what we have is making customers more interested in approaching us and talking to us. There’s been good interaction today.� David Yarbrough, owner of The Carpenter’s Shop — a Christian bookstore that sells much more than books — is no stranger to the Expo, and while he

said it may take “a good two to three years for customers to get used to the idea of buying at the Expo, he gave the change a thumbs up. “It will make it more interesting for people coming in,� said Yarbrough, who offered a good variety of different gift items for Father’s Day and graduations, as well as some high-priced items like acoustic guitars and paintings. Kristy Arey with Added Accents was also an Expo newbie Wednesday, and through lunch, she reported solid sales. “So far, so good,� said Arey, who also mixed up her offerings, which included a $290 painting of a cow in a pasture. “It’s been great exposure for us. We’re selling a few things, but we’re also interacting with customers ... some of whom might not have realized we moved downtown or hadn’t shopped with us before.� Small Business Center administration special Zhyra Barber said about 20 to 25 percent of the business on hand Wednesday were retailers, though many service businesses were selling items as well. “We chose to allow sales because in this economy, this was a way to attract more exhibitors,� Barber said, “and we think it adds value to the visitors here. It gives them instant gratification.�

tional high schools are receiving their diplomas after four years, members of the LEC Class of 2010 have earned both diplomas and associate degrees or transfer credits to continue their education at the university level. “Lee Early College has been the most amazing experience,� said Hillary Akers, who was just 13 when she became a member of LEC’s inaugural class in 2006. “I wanted to come because I knew I was going to grow more from being on a college campus.� Now 17, she receives her Associate in Arts degree at CCCC’s spring commencement, scheduled for today, where she will be one of the speakers. Akers will continue her education at UNC-Pembroke, majoring in mass communication. The other LEC students who are receiving associate degrees from the college are Nathaniel Newell, who will attend UNC-Chapel Hill on a full-ride scholarship to study biomedical engineering; Raul ZamoraDuprey, who plans to study psychology at the university level; and Caroline Griffith, who is heading to Brigham Young UniversityHawaii to major in international communication. Rodolfo Zelaya will complete his associate degree in the summer semester. “I feel fantastic,� said Newell, who was 14 when he started at LEC and now, at 17, has earned his Associate in Arts degree. “Lee Early College met my expectations and, in addition, allotted me such a degree of freedom to excel.� The associate degree students will attend their universities as freshmen for the first semester, according to LEC counselor Dave

The Sanford Herald / Thursday, May 13, 2010 / 7A Nourse. After that semester, all their CCCC credits will transfer and they will have academic standing as juniors. Instead of earning associate degrees, some students are using their earned college credits to continue at a community college. Anthony Smith is transferring to Fayetteville Technical Community College to major in funeral service education. Alejandra Lopez is applying to CCCC’s Associate Degree Nursing program. The Class of 2010 will also receive diplomas at LEC’s high school graduation on May 17 at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center. Due to the event scheduling, these students are in the unique position of receiving their college degrees before their high school diplomas. Other members of the inaugural class will graduate in December or in spring 2011. “Lee Early College has been an extraordinarily successful collaboration,� said CCCC President Bud Marchant. “The college is pleased to have worked with Lee County Schools to provide this unique educational environment in which these young people could excel. We welcome them to the ranks of CCCC alumni and wish them great success in continuing their educations and in their careers and lives.� LEC is an academically advanced, non-traditional high school under Lee County Schools. Current enrollment is about 260. During the first two years, the students are taught by LCS teachers and focus on their requirements for their high school diploma. During the second and following years, they shift to college-level courses, taught by CCCC instructors. Lee Early College has established the students’

academic schedules so they can finish both their diplomas and an associate degree/ transfer credits within four years, though the students are allowed five years if needed. “We are extremely proud of the performance and dedication of the Lee Early College students,� said Lee County Schools Superintendent Jeff Moss. “Their hard work shows that young adults in today’s society can achieve both a high school diploma and a college degree by putting forth the time and energy.� LEC was established in 2006 as the local response to the call by then-N.C. Gov. Mike Easley for school districts to work with colleges and universities to improve and expand educational opportunities for high school students. North Carolina is now a leader in the establishment of early colleges. Nationally, there are about 130 early colleges in 24 states, with 42 of those here. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation provided the initial funding for LEC through the North Carolina New Schools Project. LEC receives standard North Carolina high school educational funding, so students do not pay for tuition or books, even after they have transitioned to college classes. It also receives funding from the N.C. Department of Public Instruction’s High School Innovation Project. The first graduates of Lee Early College say they’re leaving with a sense of accomplishment and confidence in their ability to achieve and move on to even greater success. “I’m grateful to have had this opportunity.� Griffith said. “Attending Lee Early College encourages you to look at the big picture and start life sooner. Being here has gotten me farther faster than I could have otherwise.�

Insurance ad touts tort reform RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s leading property and liability insurers are taking their case to the public to impede an effort in the Legislature to change how monetary awards are determined when somebody gets hit by a car while crossing the street or slips on an icy sidewalk. The Insurance Federation of North Carolina said it began running

Word of Hickman’s death spread quickly on Wednesday, and by noon many of his more than 400 Facebook friends had posted words of comfort on his page. Close friend Justin Neal called Hickman “a good person,� Wednesday afternoon and said he was shocked by the news. “He was always there to help me out,� said Neal. “He’s going to be deeply missed by a lot of people.� Another friend since childhood, Joellen Patterson, said she’ll always remember hanging out with Hickman, be it in middle school or just a few days ago. “He could always make you smile no matter what mood you were in,� she said. “He had such a big heart and was a great person.� Funeral arrangements were incomplete Wednesday afternoon.

radio ads Wednesday — the opening day of this year’s legislative session — it says will educate listeners on how a proposal to change the rule for negligence cases would raise their insurance rates if approved. While supporters of the tort reform argue rates essentially won’t change, opposition resulting from ads could reach legislators’ offices and help derail a House bill approved last year that would allow an accident victim to recover damages even if the person is slightly to blame for what happened. The federation’s statewide media blitz, which it says will cost roughly $30,000 a week, reflects the high stakes for trial lawyers, insurance companies and other businesses should the state switch to what’s called a “comparative negligence�

standard. “Given the current economic climate ... we’re just trying to open the public’s eyes to the potential costs,� said Jennifer Cohen, the federation’s executive director. “Comparative negligence is always going to create increasing pressure on insurance rates.� North Carolina Advocates for Justice, the group representing the state’s trial lawyers, want North Carolina to join 46 other states that follow a variation of the comparative negligence or comparative fault standard. Under comparative negligence, if a judge or jury determines the plaintiff is entitled to $100,000 in damages but finds the injured person 30 percent at fault and the defendant 70 percent to blame, the plaintiff is awarded 30 percent less, or $70,000.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY SESSION OPENS

STATE BRIEFS Reform. The governor was set to attend but spokeswoman Chrissy Pearson says Perdue now feels it would be inappropriate to do so. Tickets cost $50 for next week’s event, hosted by several legislative lobbyists. The coalition received a State Ethics Commission opinion that says elected officials can eat and drink at the event for free. Coalition leader Jane Pinsky says the group needs to raise money to “keep the lights on.�

Study: Triangle growth creates commuter demand

RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina study forecasts there will be an increase in demand for commuter trains as the area known as the Triangle experience population and job growth. The News and Observer reports a study funded by the North Carolina Railroad Co. shows rider interest in a train line with stops from Durham through Raleigh and beyond. Study project manager Masroor Hasan says a commuter train traveling that 50-mile stretch could serve a projected 2 million riders annually by 2022. The study results support discussions by some Triangle leaders to include commuter trains in area transit plans. Taxpayers would have to pay for any regional transit improvements by approving a proposed half-cent sales tax which could go to voters next year.

500 teachers in Charlotte may be laid off CHARLOTTE (AP) — About 500 teachers in one North Carolina system will get preliminary layoff notices after the local school board approved a budget that prepares for cuts of up to $78 million. The Charlotte Observer reported the notices will go out Wednesday, hours after the school board approved the 2010-11 budget. The plan includes five scenarios, with options that include laying off hundreds of employees. Chief Operating Officer Hugh Hattabaugh says 170 teachers will lose their jobs because of low job ratings and/or the lack of proper licenses. Another 20 in that category have resigned. Also getting preliminary notices are 240 teachers who are working on short-term contracts and 99 whose skills don’t match available jobs. Those 99 could be placed if jobs open up. Layoffs aren’t final until a board vote, scheduled for June.

Perdue backs out of ethics group fundraiser

RALEIGH (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue has backed out of an appearance at an event sponsored by ethics reform advocates for North Carolina government after she learned it was a fundraiser for the group. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Wednesday that Perdue was one of several elected officials invited by the North Carolina Coalition for Lobbying and Government

Budget top priority for lawmakers D-Buncombe. Lawmakers also will consider campaign finance and ethics bills and reforms to the state’s liquor sales system. Lobbyists and advocates for a host of interest groups and legislation swarmed the legislative complex downtown to prepare to push — or push back on — legislation that has a chance to pass before adjournment. “Our goals for this session are to have an expeditious session ... but also to have a thorough session,� House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said while releasing the House Democrats’ four-point agenda to help small businesses create jobs, protect public education to keep teachers in the classroom, root out government waste and fraud and pass ethics and state contract reforms. Republicans, who are aiming to win back both chambers in November and control the once-adecade redistricting in 2011, were unanimous in voting against last year’s budget bill. That could change this year if Democrats find real savings and don’t use scare tactics of severe cuts to generate new revenues, House Minority Whip ThomTillis said. “You can’t sugarcoat what is a poorly run operation that has lots of costs that should be

By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — North Carolina legislators returned to Raleigh on Wednesday to focus on fixing a state budget that still can’t keep up with flagging revenues and to find ways to encourage job creation among small businesses. The gavels fell at noon Wednesday in the Legislative Building, bringing the House and Senate officially back to work after a nine-month absence. Their main business will be to adjust the second year of the two-year budget approved by lawmakers last summer. Democrats estimate between $800 million and $1 billion in additional revenues or spending cuts are needed to balance the budget for the year starting July 1. But Democratic leaders, who control both chambers, have made clear they don’t want to stick around too long after the budget adjustments are made and signed by Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue. Senate Democrats say they’re still on track to pass their version of the budget adjustments by May 20. “We don’t have money to fix most problems, so there’s not a whole lot of reasons to stay around here,� said Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt,

driven out before we ask for another dime from taxpayers,� said Tillis, RMecklenburg. Hackney said he wants to work with Republicans on issues but wouldn’t consider GOP legislation he considers political in nature. That would appear to include bills Republicans want heard that would exempt North Carolina from the federal health care law. Dozens of conservative activists gathered behind the Legislative Building to denounce the health care law and its mandate for everyone to buy insurance or pay a fine starting in 2014. Republican congressional hopeful Bill Randall, who faces a runoff next month for the right to represent the GOP in November’s election against incumbent Democratic U.S. Rep. Brad Miller urged the crowd to face the building and shout their demand for greater freedom now. Others wore red shirts while lobbying senators to approve changes to the state’s involuntary annexation rules. “My question is how long are these senators going to sit on their hands while the cities continue to abuse the law?� asked Tony Tetterton with the Fair Annexation Coalition. Wednesday was largely about ceremony, renewing acquaintances and

recognizing new members. Democratic Reps. Diane Parfitt of Cumberland County, John May of Franklin County and Chris Heagarty of Wake County took their seats for the first time, while new Democratic Sens. Michael Walters of Robeson County and Margaret Dickson of Cumberland County were recognized. Six other House members who lost in last week’s primary began what will be their final regular session. The arrival of Dickson, a former House member, highlighted a changing of the guard in the Senate. She replaced Majority Leader Tony Rand, D-Cumberland, who resigned in December to join the state parole commission. Nesbitt now sits in a front row seat next to Senate leader Marc Basnight where he and Rand had helped rule the chamber for most of the last decade. Basnight wouldn’t speculate this week about when this year’s session would end. “Welcome back to your summer home,� Basnight, D-Dare, told colleagues before the Senate adjourned for the day after a 20-minute session where only one bill was considered. “Hopefully we do not spoil our vacations that may occur or may not occur.�

NATION BRIEFS

Kagan makes Capitol Hill rounds

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan defended herself Wednesday against Republican charges she’s not fit to be a justice as she met for the first time with senators who hold the key to her confirmation. Mostly mum in public as she made the rounds on Capitol Hill, Kagan sought during a series of private meetings to beat back GOP suggestions that she’d be a liberal rubber stamp for President Obama, who named her Monday to succeed retiring Justice John Paul Stevens. “She’s been politically active throughout her life, she’s identified with the American liberal position, she clerked for two activist judges,� said Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the top Republican on the Judiciary panel that will hold hearings on Kagan’s nomination. Sessions said he asked Kagan during a lengthy meeting whether she understood she might be called upon as a justice to issue rulings that might disappoint her “fans and supporters.� The 50year-old solicitor general responded “that she would be faithful to the law,� Sessions said, “but of course every nominee says that. Some of our most activist

Solicitor General and Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, rides the Senate Subway during her day of meetings on Capitol Hill in Washington Wednesday. judges have said that.� The exchange came on a day when senators in both parties promised a fair confirmation process for Kagan, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., pledged as he welcomed her to the Capitol to make it “as smooth as possible.� Barring a surprise, Kagan is likely to be confirmed this summer by a Senate where Democrats have more than enough votes to prevail and Republicans are showing little appetite for a Supreme Court showdown. Still, the debate is virtually certain to become a forum for the two parties to battle over the direction of the court and hot-button legal issues from abortion to political speech. Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Repub-

lican leader, said before visiting with her that Kagan must prove that her current post on Obama’s team wouldn’t skew her rulings to favor his policies. “It’s my hope that the Obama administration doesn’t think the ideal Supreme Court nominee is someone who would rubber stamp its policies,� McConnell said. “Americans want to know that Ms. Kagan will be independent, that she won’t prejudge cases based on her personal opinions, that she’ll treat every one equally, as the judicial oath requires.� Kagan said little publicly Wednesday as reporters and photographers trailed her through the Capitol and senators’ office buildings, shuttling from meeting to closely watched

meeting. “Haven’t I seen you someplace before?,� she joked with reporters as she entered her eighth and final meeting of the day, with Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., a Judiciary Committee member. “Everybody’s been very gracious,� she said. Sen. Patrick Leahy, DVt., Judiciary Committee chairman, said Kagan will get “a fair hearing.� “I will guarantee that all Democratic senators and all Republican senators are able to ask all relevant questions, and I’m sure she’ll answer them,� he said after their visit. And he suggested the former Harvard Law School dean could be a welcome counterbalance to what he called an “activist conservative majority� that currently dominates the high court. “We’ve seen how a narrow conservative majority on the nation’s highest court has ignored in many instances congressional intent and the court’s own precedent to overturn decades of law, to limit protections for workers of all ages, to curb access to court, to muffle Americans’ voices in their elections,� Leahy said. Kagan, he added, “feels the law matters in people’s lives.�

and procedural problems in the oil rig explosion and massive spill that is still fouling the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and threatening industries and wildlife near the coast and on shore. The public also got its first look on Wednesday of oil gushing from the broken pipe that rests nearly a mile under water as BP PLC, the well’s operator, released a video taken by a remotely controlled camera. Oil flowing from a break in the yellowish pipe becomes lighter in color as it mixes with natural gas. Over the past 21 days more than 4 million gallons of oil have been released. A litany of worrisome events and findings that were at play on the night

of the well explosion and pipe rupture was described in internal corporate documents, marked confidential but provided to a House committee by BP and by the manufacturer of the safety device. Lawmakers released them at a House hearing. A senior BP executive, Lamar McKay, cautioned, “It’s inappropriate to draw any conclusions before all the facts are known.� But the documents established the firmest evidence to date of the sequence of catastrophic events that led to the explosion and worsening spill, a series of failures more reminiscent of the loss of the space shuttle Challenger than the wreck of the Exxon Valdez.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. trade deficit rose to a 15-month high as rising oil prices pushed crude oil imports to the highest level since the fall of 2008, offsetting another strong gain in exports. The larger deficit is evidence of a rebounding U.S. economy. Analysts expect this year’s deficit to be up significantly from 2009, when it hit an eight-year low. But U.S. exports should keep growing, providing a major source of strength from American manufacturers, and will only be marginally affected by the European debt crisis. The Commerce Department reported Wednesday that the trade deficit rose 2.5 percent to $40.4 billion in March compared to the February imbalance. It was the largest monthly trade deficit since December 2008. Exports of goods and services were up 3.2 percent to $147.87 billion, the highest level since October 2008. Imports were up 3.1 percent to $188.3 billion. U.S. manufacturers, the standout performers so far in this recovery, will continue to get a boost from rising demand for their products, economists predicted. Their sales are being helped by a rebound in the global economy and declines in the value of the dollar against other major currencies.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles on Wednesday became the largest city yet to boycott Arizona over its tough new law targeting illegal immigration in a move that likely will affect some $8 million in contracts with the state. The City Council voted 13-1 to bar Los Angeles from conducting business with Arizona unless the law is repealed. The vote followed an emotional council discussion during which many members noted that their ancestors were U.S. immigrants. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa already has said he would approve the boycott. The proposal could affect investments and contracts worth as much as $52 million, including contracts for airport, harbor and trucking services, according to a report from the city’s chief legislative analyst. That report recommends the council consider suspending travel, cutting contracts and refraining from making any new ones with Arizona-based companies. But Councilwoman Janice Hahn, who co-authored the resolution, said it would be impractical to cancel most of those deals and only about $7 million to $8 million in city contracts probably would be affected.

Republicans choose Tampa for 2012 convention OXON HILL, Md.

A Republican National Committee panel recommended the Gulf Coast city during a closed-door meeting, rejecting GOP strongholds of Salt Lake City and Phoenix. The decision came amid calls from Hispanic groups and others to boycott Arizona after it adopted a law to crack down on illegal immigrants, although party members insisted their decision against Phoenix was not linked to that legislation. “We got it!� RNC Secretary Sharon Day, a Floridian, shouted into a hotel hallway as she danced out of the closed-door meeting. Florida, with its hefty 27 electoral votes, decided the 2000 election for George W. Bush. Obama won the state in 2008.

Police: Judge had slain boy spend summer with mom

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A custody fight in Virginia led to a judge’s order that a 4-year-old boy spend the summer in Utah with his mother, who will be charged as an accomplice to the youngster’s killing, police and a family member said Wednesday. The biological father of Ethan Stacy received a full briefing on the slaying Wednesday, he told The Associated Press. “I can’t talk right now. I just got the horrible news, talking to prosecutors,� said Joe G. Stacy of Tazewell, Va. “Right now is not the time.� The boy’s body was desecrated and buried in a northern Utah canyon, where it was recovered Tuesday, police said. The stepfather, Nathanael W. Sloop, 31, of Layton, is being held on suspicion of aggravated murder. Sloop and the boy’s mother, Stephanie Sloop, 27, face additional charges of desecration of a corpse, along with felony child abuse and obstruction of justice, police said.

‘COLBERT’ AND ‘HOUSE’

E-BRIEFS

The funniest relationship on TV? By JAKE COYLE AP Entertainment Writer

NEW YORK — The funniest relationship on TV might be the clandestine, cross-network affair between “The Colbert Report� and “House.� If you look carefully, you can spot a small, framed photograph of Hugh Laurie, the star of Fox’s “House,� on the set of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report.� “House� has reciprocated the gesture with a photo of Colbert that sits on Dr. Gregory House’s desk. On Monday’s “Report,� Stephen Colbert said House’s photo sits on his shelf because he’s a huge fan of the TV doctor. “House and I have a lot in common,� Colbert, in mock pundit character, said on the show. “We both refuse to play by the rules, never consider the consequences of our actions, and are horribly abusive to our staffs. “In the end, we’re both always right.� The shelf behind Colbert’s C-shaped desk contains a collection of odd objects that he has found reason to keep by some twist of the show’s bizarre comedic meanderings. The House photo currently rests, Colbert noted, “in a place of honor next to my coin purse made from a bull scrotum.�

AP photo

British actor Hugh Laurie, who stars in the FOX drama “House,� and Stephen Colbert have developed quite an on-screen relationship. Colbert first placed the photo on his set in June 2006 after Colbert (the real one) received an honorary degree from Knox College. This made him a doctor, Colbert claimed, and next to his degree, he placed photos of three other TV doctors: House, Noah Drake from “General Hospital,� and Dr. Cliff Huxtable from “The Cosby Show.� The House photo (now more visible because “The Report� broadcasts in high-definition) has stuck around, Colbert said in a recent interview, because the show noticed it would frequently show up on camera over his shoulder. “We said we’ve got to keep that — we can’t get rid of the picture of House,� he said. When he saw that

“House� responded in kind, Colbert said he was “honored because I’m such a fan.� In an e-mail Wednesday, Laurie said he was “hugely flattered by Mr. Colbert’s tip of the hat.� “People sometimes ask whether I have anything in common with the character I play, and I answer as truthfully as I can: House and I are the same height and we both have a worshipful obsession with Stephen Colbert,� said Laurie. “That’s it. And even the height part isn’t quite right. I am actually one inch taller than House. But it seemed to us completely and satisfyingly consistent for House to curl up in front of Colbert after a hard day’s healing.� The connection between the two fictional

characters is fitting because it mirrors a real-life link. Both are comedians with a fondness for wordplay and an extraordinary talent for embodying a character. American audiences are less familiar with Laurie’s earlier sketch comedy work on British television, including the beloved, acclaimed series “Blackadder� and “A Bit of Fry and Laurie,� and his portrayal of P.G. Wodehouse’s empty-headed Bertie Wooster in the PBS series “Jeeves and Wooster.� Colbert says he’s particularly a fan of “A Bit of Fry and Laurie,� which co-starred Stephen Fry (also Laurie’s co-star in “Jeeves�). “I love it when people say, ‘Oh, I saw Hugh Laurie on “SNL.� He was funny!�’ said Colbert. “Yes, there was something he did before ‘House.�’ But that’s background that Colbert — or Laurie — would never even wink at on TV. No, instead Colbert continues to play up his character’s love of “House.� “I spend a lot of time praising the larger-thanlife figures who shape our nation, be they President Bush, Vice President Cheney or House,� Colbert said on a 2006 show. “When will that hospital learn just to trust his instincts? They already give him the hopeless cases.�

Sean Penn pleads no contest to vandalism LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sean Penn pleaded no contest to vandalism on Wednesday, effectively ending a case in which the Oscarwinning actor was videotaped kicking a celebrity Penn photographer. Penn was not present in court and entered the plea through his attorney. He was sentenced to three years of informal probation and ordered to perform 300 hours of community service, said city attorney’s spokesman Frank Mateljan. Mateljan says those hours can be completed through Penn’s earthquake-relief efforts in Haiti. He was also ordered to undergo 36 hours of anger management counseling and stay 100 yards away from the photographer. Penn was charged in February with misdemeanor battery and vandalism for the October dustup and faced up to 18 months in jail if convicted. “Prolonging this matter in the court system would not have been in Mr. Penn’s best interests and would have distracted from his charitable commitments, specifically his work in Haiti,� Penn’s attorney Richard Hirsch said. “Accordingly he has decided to accept the terms and move on.� If he completes the terms of his sentence, Penn will be

allowed to reduce the charge to disturbing the peace. Mateljan said a restitution hearing for the photographer will be held July 8. The photographer, Jordan Dawes, has sued Penn in civil court. That case remains active. Penn, 49, has won two best actor Oscars for roles in “Mystic River� and “Milk.� He has made a major humanitarian push in Haiti since the country was devastated by an earthquake in January, co-founding the Jenkins-Penn Haiti Relief Organization. The group provide medical care, water filters and food and has opened a health clinic for mothers and victims of a growing sexual assault epidemic. Until the recent case, the actor has remained out of trouble after several run-ins with photographers and the law in the 1980s.

Suspected celeb burglar loses motion for deal

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge on Wednesday rejected a bid by a key suspect in a rash of celebrity burglaries to force prosecutors to give him a favorable plea deal in exchange for his cooperation. Attorneys for Nicholas Prugo argued authorities made an implied deal for favorable treatment for his assistance in unraveling break-ins at homes of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and other stars. The lawyers said in court filings that Los Angeles police would have been unable to recover some of the stolen property or make cases against other defendants in the crew without Prugo’s help. But Deputy District Attorney Sarika Kim argued that the motion was premature because her office had made no plea offer to Prugo. She said that would come after a preliminary hearing scheduled for May 25. Prugo’s statements to police could be used during that hearing. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Darrell Mavis agreed with Kim, saying any agreement for cooperation between Prugo and police was “very vague.� Prugo’s attorneys are seeking leniency for the 19-yearold, including a sentence that wouldn’t involve jail time. Attorney Daniel Horowitz said Wednesday that Prugo would get “beat up and brutalized in prison� because he has been branded a snitch. Kim argued that Prugo has sought media attention and conducted several nationally televised interviews about his case. He is charged with seven counts of felony residential burglary for break-ins at the Hollywood Hills homes of Orlando Bloom, “The Hills� star Audrina Patridge, Megan Fox and her boyfriend Brian Austin Green, and several others, including Lohan and Hilton.

SOUTHERN LEE’S STAR

Hard work pays off for Smith By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

CUSHING KEEPS ROOKIE AWARD AFTER REVOTE NEW YORK (AP) — Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing won a revote Wednesday to keep The Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award, despite his positive drug test. The second vote was taken after the league suspended Cushing without pay for four games last week for violating the NFL’s drug policy. Although Cushing said he took a non-steroid substance, the league still considers it a performance-enhancer. The AP decided to have a revote, with a Wednesday noon deadline. That revote gave Cushing 18 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league. Buffalo safety Jairus Byrd received 13 votes, and Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews III got 12. Washington linebacker Brian Orakpo earned three votes, and St. Louis linebacker James Laurinaitis got one. “I was just glad to hear the news, that people stuck by me. Very honored,” Cushing said. “I’m very happy to have the award once again, and I’m just happy with how everything turned out.”

SANFORD — Finally. After being just two points shy at last year’s conference meet, Southern Lee track and field star Anelia Smith recently closed out her senior season in style by winning the Cape Fear Valley Conference Female Athlete of the Year award at the conference meet at Union Pines High School. Smith had a first-place finish

in the long jump, a secondplace finish in the 100- and 300-meter hurdles and was fourth in the 200. She accuSmith mulated a total of 31 points to earn the award for the first time in her four years at Southern Lee. “It feels great,” said Smith, a

two-sport athlete who also plays basketball for the Lady Cavaliers. “All my hard work paid off. I’m proud of myself.” Southern Lee track coach Lamont Piggie, who has seen a vast improvement in Smith’s ability, was also proud of Smith’s big accomplishment. “After coming so close last year, I’m so happy that she was

INDIANAPOLIS — West Virginia and Butler couldn’t beat Duke at the Final Four. They both finished ahead of the Blue Devils in the classroom. Three of the men’s Final Four teams — the Bulldogs, Mountaineers and Michigan State — made the NCAA’s list of academic overachievers Wednesday while the national champs were left out. The biggest surprise on the list: West Virginia, whose coach, Bob Huggins, has repeatedly been criticized for not taking academics seriously. Huggins’ Cincinnati teams had a 0.0 graduation rate for several seasons. “It’s a commitment by the athletic department and the university to supply the resources to help the players succeed academically,” Huggins said in a statement released by the school. “I commend our guys not only for their performance on the floor but in their academic work in the classroom as well.” NCAA officials annually honor the top 10 percent of teams in each sport and all teams with perfect Academic Progress Rate scores. This year, 841 teams made the list of so-called overachievers, including Oklahoma — the only women’s Final Four team to make the list. Last year, 767 teams were recognized. The actual scores, which will be released later this spring, cover the fall semester of 2005 through the spring semester of 2009.

WORLD CALIBER COACHES

CONCORD (AP) — David Reutimann wants a multiyear contract out of his current negotiations with Michael Waltrip Racing. Reutimann has had a series of one-year deals since joining MWR in 2007, and extended job security is one of the things he’s seeking during talks on another extension. “I’d like to get a multiyear deal because it puts your mind at ease,” he said Wednesday during an appearance at Charlotte Motor Speedway. “It’s always in the back of your mind, that concern about what’s going to happen next year, and I really think it can take away from what you are trying to accomplish.” The defending Coca-Cola 600 winner said he wants to stay with MWR. He gave the organization its only Sprint Cup Series victory last May, and also won a Nationwide Series race in 2007 at Memphis for MWR.

Coach K and Geno prep for world championships By DOUG FEINBERG AP Basketball Writer

NEW YORK — It’s going to be a busy summer for both Mike Krzyzewski and Geno Auriemma. Fresh off winning college basketball national championships last month, the two Hall of Fame coaches will prepare for their next

challenge — guiding the U.S. men’s and women’s basketball teams to gold at the world championships. Krzyzewski will start training with the men’s national team in July in Las Vegas while Auriemma will have a few days to work with his players during the WNBA AllStar break. “They are very different situ-

Woods says he has neck inflammation ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods said tests Wednesday showed an inflamed neck joint that causes pain and makes it hard to turn his head, an injury that will require little more than medicine, massages and rest. Woods had an MRI that revealed inflammation in a facet joint of his neck. He said on his website that when facet joints are inflamed, it causes pain in the area along with headaches and difficulty rotating the head. He withdrew from the final

round of The Players Championship on Sunday after a week in which he was seen stretching and rolling his neck. Woods said his neck had been bothering him since before he returned from a five-month layoff at the Masters, and that it was not related to the Nov. 27 car accident when he ran into a tree, setting off revelations of infidelity. “I now need to take care of this condition and will return to playing golf when I’m physically able,” Woods said.

NASCAR

Drivers use social media to drum up All-Star support DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — From Tweet-Ups to YouTube ads, chasing the fan vote for a NASCAR All-Star spot has gone viral. Richard Petty Motorsports teammates A.J. Allmendinger and Elliott Sadler took part in Twitter gatherings at Darlington in which fans waved signs urging others to vote their driver into the May 22 race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Martin Truex Jr. has a series of YouTube spots for his “Tried and Truex” campaign. And social media sites are filled with race teams not yet in the elite field attempting to get out the vote.

“If you’re lucky enough and your fans vote you in,” Clint Bowyer says, “that is awesome.” It can also be lucrative. Kasey Kahne had missed all chances to make the AllStars in 2008 and was on his way home when he learned he’d won the fan vote. The result? Kahne won the All-Star race, $1 million and a 10-year exemption into the event. He also parlayed the momentum into a Coca Cola 600 victory a week later. “I love it,” Kahne said of the vote. “Hey, the weekend is all about the fans.” Drivers who’ve won a Sprint Cup race in the past year, former NAS-

CAR champions and past All-Star winners make the exclusive field. The top two finishers in the preliminary Showdown race also advance to the final field. The last spot goes to the leading fan vote-getter from those not already in and who also finished the Showdown. As of May 4, the top 10 — which NASCAR gives in alphabetical order to preserve the suspense — were Allmendinger, Marcos Ambrose, Greg Biffle, Bowyer, Jeff Burton, Carl Edwards, Juan Pablo Montoya, Sadler, Truex and Michael Waltrip. Voting continues until an hour before the All-Star race. “I think the fan vote is

a great thing,” Bowyer said. “It is a great tool to get the fans involved.” And websites such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have given NASCAR teams a new network to tap into their fans’ passion for everything racing. Sadler’s Twitter entry Monday began: “Nice day in VA! It’s a perfect day to pick up your Sprint phone and vote me into the allstar race.” Truex has a video pitch, which made its debut last week ahead of the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. He’s seen in the Michael Waltrip Racing race shop sneaking a T-shirt with his “Tried and Truex” slogan over a life-sized mannequin. Another has Truex outside Mac’s Speedshop in Cornelius slipping campaign fliers under windshield wipers of parked cars.

Tigers blank Yanks

DETROIT (AP) — Rick Porcello pitched seven sharp innings and Magglio Ordonez drove in one of two runs in the sixth, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 2-0 win over the New York Yankees on Wednesday in the first game of a doubleheader. The Yankees lost their season-high third in a row. Blue Jays 3, Red Sox 2 BOSTON (AP) — Shaun Marcum pitched two-hit ball for seven shutout innings and Travis Snider homered, doubled and drove in all three runs, helping the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Boston Red Sox. Twins 3, White Sox 2 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Denard Span and the Minnesota Twins picked up Carl Pavano this time, pecking away at John Danks to beat the Chicago White Sox. Reds 5, Pirates 0 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Homer Bailey became the latest Cincinnati Reds starter to pitch a gem against the Pittsburgh Pirates, tossing his first career complete game in a 5-0 win that completed a three-game sweep. Rockies 4, Phillies 3, 10 innings DENVER (AP) — Miguel Olivo went 5 for 5, including a leadoff home run in the 10th inning in the opener of a day-night doubleheader. Phillies ace Roy Halladay took a 3-1 lead into the seventh, but the Colorado native wound up with a no-decision after Brad Hawpe’s tying, two-run triple. Nationals 6, Mets 4 NEW YORK (AP) — Roger Bernadina hit his first two major league homers, including a tiebreaking shot off Francisco Rodriguez in the ninth inning, and made a marvelous catch to lead the surprising Washington Nationals past the New York Mets. Starting pitcher Craig Stammen drove in three early runs with a pair of hits for the National. Cubs 4, Marlins 3 CHICAGO (AP) — Carlos Silva stayed away from major trouble and Marlon Byrd hit an RBI double.

Atlanta Braves’s Jason Heyward (22) steals second with Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks (23) covering during the sixth inning of a baseball game Wednesday in Milwaukee.

Braves complete sweep of Brewers MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Atlanta Braves found a familiar way to beat up the Milwaukee Brewers. Brooks Conrad homered, doubled and drove in four runs while subbing for injured Chipper Jones, and the Braves roughed up Milwaukee’s bullpen once again for a 9-2 win Wednesday and a threegame sweep. “You need to have confidence and get a little swagger back,� Braves manager Bobby Cox said. The Braves, a team not known for their potent hitting this season, outscored the Brewers 28-7 in the series. Another late-game outburst by the Braves squandered a solid start by Yovani Gallardo and continued the Brewers’ woes at home. They are 4-11 at Miller Park this season — and after a day off Thursday, the Phil-

lies are coming to town. “I don’t think anybody can explain why we’ve been having a tough time getting wins at home,� Casey McGehee said. “We’ve got to figure out something.� The bullpen is a prime suspect, at least in this series. All three games were close early, only to turn into blowouts. “It’s been a little bit of an epidemic here, throughout the series,� Brewers manager Ken Macha said. “It’s not just one or two guys.� But it hasn’t helped that starters are having trouble going deep into games, wearing Brewers relievers down. Macha said he asked closer Trevor Hoffman on Wednesday morning if the veteran closer needed to pitch an inning after getting little work of late. Hoffman said yes — not for his

own benefit, but because the rest of the bullpen is so worn down. It showed again Wednesday. Gallardo left after pitching the top of the sixth, and the Brewers tied the game at 2-all in the bottom half of the inning. The Braves then jumped all over Brewers relievers, scoring a total of seven runs in the final three innings. It looked a lot like the previous two games, when the Braves turned close games into blowouts. Jason Heyward hit a hard shot off first baseman Prince Fielder’s glove for a go-ahead double in the seventh inning. “But it wasn’t just that we scored, it was that we scored often,� said Matt Diaz, whose pinch-hit double set up Atlanta’s tworun seventh inning.

DENVER (AP) — Binoculars in the bullpen? Major League Baseball isn’t happy, and has told the Philadelphia Phillies to knock it off. The Phillies insisted Wednesday they weren’t trying to steal signs when bullpen coach Mick Billmeyer was caught on camera peering through binoculars from the bullpen bench at Coors Field earlier this week. Manager Charlie Manuel told The Associated Press that Billmeyer simply was watching Philadelphia catcher Carlos Ruiz set up defensively Monday night. FSN Rocky Mountain, the flagship broadcaster of the Colorado Rockies, showed Billmeyer using the binoculars to peer in on Colorado catcher Miguel Olivo while the Phillies were at bat in the top of the second inning. It also showed a quick image of Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino in the dugout on the bullpen phone in the top of the second. “We were not trying to steal signs,� Manuel said. “Would we try to steal somebody’s signs? Yeah, if we can. But we don’t do that. We’re not going to let a guy stand up there in the bullpen with binoculars looking in. We’re smarter than that.�

Nationals RHP Marquis expecting elbow surgery NEW YORK (AP) — Washington Nationals pitcher Jason Marquis thinks there’s a good chance he needs surgery on his injured right elbow. Marquis made a rehab start for Class-A Potomac on Tuesday night and said his elbow stiffened after he woke up Wednesday morning. He says there’s a “strong possibility� he’ll have surgery to clean out bone chips, which he

estimates would probably sideline him until August. The right-hander joined Washington as a free agent in the offseason, signing a $15 million, two-year contract after going 15-13 with a 4.04 ERA for Colorado last season.

Orioles bring up Patterson, send to Reimold to minors BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles have sent slumping outfielder Nolan Reimold to Triple-A Norfolk and purchased the contract of Corey Patterson from the same minor league club. Reimold was batting .205. He acknowledged after Tuesday’s game against Seattle that he had “been playing pretty bad.� Manager Dave Trembley said it was obvious that Reimold had lost his confidence.

Mora, Ruiz hurt on same play DENVER (AP) — Colorado Rockies second baseman Melvin Mora and Philadelphia Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz were injured on the same play in the fourth inning Wednesday and both had to leave the game. Playing second base with Troy Tulowitzki (thigh) out and Clint Barmes at shortstop, Mora had to stretch to his right to grab third baseman Ian Stewart’s throw to complete a double play on a groundball by Ruiz. Mora wasn’t able to make the relay throw to first for a possible triple play, but Ruiz injured his right knee running out the groundball. He was replaced by pinch-runner Paul Hoover once he reached third base following a double by the next hitter, Wilson Valdez. The Phillies said Ruiz was day-to-day. The Rockies said Mora strained a gluteal muscle in his right leg and is dayto-day. He was replaced by Eric Young Jr.

NBA Playoffs

The Sanford Herald / Thursday, May 13, 2010 / 5B

LeBron, Cavs still confident INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — As a nation of critics dissected his rare poor playoff game, questioning his effort, digging for deeper clues about his future and wondering if he has what it takes to win an NBA championship, LeBron James worked on his jumper. As panic spread through the region, swallowing his nearby hometown of Akron James and causing further damage to Cleveland’s badly damaged sports psyche, James exuded calm. There’s nothing he can do about Game 5. It’s history. Game 6 in Boston, however, is a chance for redemption and James believes Cavaliers fans should be confident. Why? “They got me,� he said. But which one? The league’s two-time MVP? Or the guy who made 1 of 11 shots from the outside, stood around passively on offense as the Celtics pulled away to take a 3-2 series lead and then raised eyebrows afterward by not being accountable and saying, “I spoil a lot of people with my play.� One day after scoring 15 points in the 120-88 loss — the Cavaliers’ worst in playoff history — and being booed by fans who wonder if they’ll ever see him play in person again, James, who can leave Cleveland as a free agent on July 1, said he and his teammates understand their season, the one that was supposed to end with a downtown parade, is on the brink. “It’s win or go home at this point,� he said. “All these guys understand what’s at stake and we

look forward to it.� Backed up against a wall, both literally and figuratively, James spent nearly 12 minutes after practice on Wednesday answering questions from a media throng about the health of his injured elbow; outside criticism directed at Cavaliers coach Mike Brown; his legacy; and postgame comments by Cavs owner Dan Gilbert that his All-Star laden team isn’t fulfilling high expectations. And for the first time, James referred to his elbow injury as “an issue I’ll deal with in the offseason.� James was in a better mood than after Game 5, when he was somewhat somber and spoke with a sense of resignation that he had done all he could. He engaged in a competitive shooting game — at the basket closest to the TV cameras — with teammates before talking to reporters. At one point, he even joked he should be given preferential treatment because of his elbow, which has been diagnosed as a sprain and is clearly affecting his shot. “I’ve got a handicap sticker on,� he yelled to teammates. “You’ve got to give me special privileges.� His tone and body language on and off the floor in Game 5 were puzzling for Clevelanders, who have rarely seen him in anything but in assault-the-rim mode. James never got into the flow. He attempted just four shots in the first half, didn’t make his first field goal until late in the third quarter and was essentially a non-factor in the Cavs’ biggest game this season. It was shocking. For everyone. James, though, chalked it up to an “off� shooting night and was dismissive about being disheartened by his effort.

Boston Celtics’ Kevin Garnett attempts a free throw in a recent game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA’s Eastern Conference semifinals. The Celtics won game 5 120-88 and can close out the series with a victory over the Cavaliers tonight in Boston.

Garnett’s strong play boosts Celtics against Cavaliers WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) — Glen Davis sat beside the practice court, recalling the last time the Boston Celtics led a playoff series 3-2. That happened just last year when an injured Kevin Garnett had his own seat at courtside. He watched helplessly in street clothes as the Celtics lost the next two games to the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Now Boston holds a 3-2 lead in that same round against the Cleveland Cavaliers. But Garnett’s right knee is healthy again and he’s playing some of his best basketball of the season. His offense has picked up and on Tuesday night he directed a defense that shut down LeBron James in a 120-88 rout in Cleveland. “It’s a different ball-

game when you’ve got one of your star players in there,� Davis said in a soft voice after a brief practice Wednesday. “He can carry a team with his actions.� That’s what James usually does. But one more loss Thursday night in Boston and the team with the NBA’s best record won’t even reach the conference final. Orlando already has made it by sweeping Atlanta in four games. The league’s MVP had one of his worst playoff games in Game 5, finishing with 15 points on 3-for14 shooting after being blanked from the field in the first half. “We focused enough on him getting to the basket. I mean, my gosh, for (the first) three games he basically had a high-

way to the basket and our thought was, we’ve got to get bodies in front of him,� Boston coach Doc Rivers said. “He’s going to give us a great shot (Thursday). We’re going to have to take it, withstand it and still win the game.� The Celtics Big Three of Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen have been depicted at times as too old to carry the team to its second title in three years. They totaled 37 points in a 29point loss in Game 3. But in Game 5, they combined for 64 in a 32-point victory. “When we play well, it’s because of their experience,� Rivers said with a smile. “When we (stink) it’s because they’re too old. That’s basically how it’s been throughout and that, in some ways, may be true at times. But I would

always lean on the experience side.� That’s where Garnett comes in. The 15-year veteran averaged 14.3 points during the regular season. But he’s been remarkably consistent against Cleveland, scoring 18, 18, 19, 18, and 18 points in the five games for an average of 18.2. He also leads the team with 7.2 rebounds per game. The Celtics want to feed him in the post where the 6-foot-11 Garnett can work on his 6-9 defender. “I think we’ve got a great matchup with him and Antawn Jamison, so that’s why he’s been more aggressive,� Boston center Kendrick Perkins said. “He knows we’re trying to go to him. We told him to be aggressive and we want him taking 20 shots a game.�

Promoters cautious on 2nd go at megafight “That’s the fight people want to see, and that’s the fight I’m going to do my darnedest to make happen,� Arum said. “My first goal is to make that fight happen, but we’re not going to negotiate this thing in the press, because if we do, given the egos (involved), it’s never going to happen.� Arum returned Tuesday from the Philippines, where he proudly attended Pacquiao’s apparent victory in a congressional election.

When the promoters for Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. take a second crack at putting their fighters together, they’re hoping a calm, quiet approach will lead to the fireworks everybody craves. Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum said Wednesday he’ll start talking to Mayweather’s camp “sooner rather than later� about matching the world’s top two welterweights for a Nov. 13 bout in either Las Vegas or Texas.

finally able to win it this year,� said Piggie. “Anelia has worked so hard and has improved in every event that she’s in. She is definitely deserving of this award. She’s earned it.� Next up for Smith is the NCHSAA 3-A Mideast Regional, which will take place on Saturday at Ledford High School in Thomasville. Smith will be participating in the aforementioned events. “I think she’s got a great shot at winning the regional in all of her events,� said Piggie. “She’s ranked near the top of all of her events

unique situation having to juggle their commitment to their schools and U.S. basketball. Krzyzewski did it over the last five years, guiding the Americans to gold in the 2008 Olympics and bronze in the 2006 worlds before agreeing to return to coach the U.S. through the 2012 London Games. “You just learn that you have

think the success of one event is really the beginning or the end of a sport.� Pacquiao’s next fight definitely will be in early November, with Arum hoping to match Pacquiao against former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito if talks with Mayweather fall through. Margarito hasn’t been licensed to fight in the U.S. after getting caught with a plaster-like substance in his gloves in Los Angeles in January 2009, but Arum believes he could get a license in Texas.

Smith is currently just three inches shy of breaking former Southern Lee track star Trenay Burch’s record of 17 feet, 4 inches, in the long jump. Smith’s distance in the long jump is currently 17-2. Headed into the regional meet, Smith has five first-place finishes, two second-place finishes and one third-place finish this season. “Anelia is a hard-worked and is very coachable,� said Piggie. “She strives for the best and is just a natural athlete. It’s going to be tough replacing her next year. She’s a great person and is a great athlete. We’ll miss her.� Smith says that she’s enjoyed her time running track and playing basketball under Donna Taylor at Southern Lee.

“It’s been a great experience at Southern Lee,� said Smith, who plans on attending Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte in the fall. “I’ve improved in every event that I’ve competed in and I’ve improved a lot over the last four years. I’ve learned to strive hard at everything that I do and not give up.� Joining Smith in the regional meet will be teammate Keeley Wood. Woods will be participating in the 800, the 1,600 and the 3,200 runs. On the boys side, Southern Lee’s A.J. Jackson will be competing in the high jump and Michael Reeves will be doing the 200. Jackson and Reeves will also be teaming up with Quentin Ingram and Aaron Turner in the 4x200 relay.

to say no to some things and people,� Krzyzewski said. “You just hope it’s not your family.� Both coaches have learned to appreciate what little downtime they have. Auriemma went from winning his seventh national championship to running a training camp for the U.S. women’s team just a few days later. Throw in some recruiting for UConn and he was happy to have some leisure time. “I’ve had some time to spend

with my family and am anxious to get back out there on the court,� Auriemma said. “I haven’t gotten to play as much golf as I normally do, but I’ll make up for it soon.� Krzyzewski’s schedule hasn’t been as hectic since Duke won its fourth title and first since 2001. The national team won’t train until the summer, but he was eager to get back on the court. “I always love coaching USA basketball as you learn so much from the players and assistants,�

he said. The longtime Duke coach still isn’t sure who will be playing for the Americans in the world championships that will take place in Turkey at the end of August. “Obviously everyone has a lot of commitments this summer with free agency, family, and other things,� Krzyzewski said. “I’ll worry about that closer to the time.� The Americans will try to win their first world championship

since 1994. Krzyzewski led them to a bronze medal in 2006 and a another bronze in 1990 when the team had college players. The women also will be trying to take the gold after finishing third in the 2006 worlds when they play in late September in the Czech Republic. “I hope they have a little chip on their shoulder,� Auriemma said. “Especially the ones like Diana (Taurasi) and Sue (Bird), who were there when they lost.�

That means only two of those academic years came during Huggins’ tenure. The other two were under John Beilein, who left for Michigan after 2006-07. Each athlete earns one point per semester

for remaining academically eligible and another point each semester for remaining at that school or graduating. A mathematical formula is then used to correlate a team’s score, with 1,000 points being perfect. It is the first time West Virginia made the list in men’s basketball, and under

naggi this weekend, echoed Arum’s desire for a calm, private negotiation out of the media spotlight. “Is it the fight everyone would like to see? Yeah, it is,� Schaefer said. “But everyone would like to see as well LeBron James against Kobe Bryant in the NBA finals, or Federer against Nadal in the Wimbledon final, or now that World Cup soccer is coming up, the Brazilians against the Italians in the World Cup soccer final. “Does it always happen? No, it doesn’t. But I don’t

that when I’m competing.� This season, Smith has shattered the school record in three events. She currently holds the record in the 100 with a time of 12.3 seconds. She has also set the school record in th 200 with a time of 26.1 seconds. Smith has been running both events in all four years with the Cavaliers. In her first season of doing the 300 hurdles, Smith has already set a record of 49.25 seconds after just four meets. “She asked the coaches about three weeks before the conference meet if she could do the 300-meter hurdles and we told her, ‘Yes,’� said Piggie. “She’s worked hard all season on this event and has performed well in it.�

there’s no question about it,� Arum said. “I have no idea whether it’s going to happen or not.� Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, who represents Mayweather, also refuses to predict success after the camps’ first negotiations fell apart over drug testing disagreements. Schaefer said no formal talks are scheduled, and Mayweather is busy spending time with his family and watching the NBA playoffs. Schaefer, in New York promoting Amir Khan’s bout with Paulie Malig-

Smith has made it a goal to make it to the state meet, and despite being a little nervous, she feels that she can accomplish that goal. “I want to make it to states; it’s been a goal of mine all season long,� said Smith. “I feel pretty confident that I can do it, too.

Huggins, West Virginia’s number improved. Last year, the Mountaineers’ had a 960. This year, the NCAA said, none of the honorees scored lower than 978. Just as surprising was not seeing Duke on the list. The Blue Devils had made it each of the past two years. Teams lose one point if players transfer or leave early for the NBA and a second point if they are not in good academic standing when they leave. Duke had three transfers count against its

score during that four-year period, though it doesn’t mean the Blue Devils fell below the 925 threshold, which can lead to sanctions for teams with consistently poor scores. Duke also wasn’t the only national champion left off the list. Connecticut, which won the women’s basketball title, and Alabama, which won the BCS title game, also were missing. “Most Division I studentathletes and teams take seri-

ously their dual responsibilities in the classroom and on the court or field of play,� interim NCAA president Jim Isch said in a statement. “But every year there is a special category of teams that perform exceptionally well and deserve this noteworthy recognition.� Butler, the national runner-up, joined the academic overachievers for the first time and was one of 13 schools to have their men’s and women’s basketball teams make the list. North Carolina’s men’s basketball team extended its run of consecutive appearances on the list to five. The Kansas basketball team, which Roy Williams coached before returning to Chapel Hill, has made it three consecutive years. Only eight teams that played in a bowl game or the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs were honored, including the 2008 and 2009 FCS champions, Richmond and Villanova.

Your numbers are 6, 10, 14, 22, 26, 37, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Mix in some of the pleasurable things you used to enjoy before you become too wrapped up in the melodramas going on around you. Once you rejuvenate, you can make a rational decision regarding your work and your future. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Share your thoughts and feelings and you will find it easier to deal with situations you face. Your strong opinions will help others understand why you must follow a certain path. You will gain respect for your determination and strength of character. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can make some strategic financial moves that will help to keep your money matters secure for the time being. A strict budget, coupled with a long-term plan will show others you are capable of handling whatever comes your way. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Helping others will bring you satisfaction and enhance your reputation. Volunteering will result in new friendships and the potential to advance professionally. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You need to be wellinformed so you can take advantage of the situation that’s unfolding. Now is not the time to let anger take over.

edge and experience. A tiny adjustment to your plans will help you close a deal or turn an idea into a profitable venture. Speak authoritatively and people will listen. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may need to make a change at home to help you put your money to better use. Now is not the time to lend or borrow. Budgeting and/or selling valuables you can do without will help you get back on track. Romance is heightened. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An argument will only stifle your plans and hold you back. If someone doesn’t agree with you, don’t share your thoughts or plans with this person. You have to follow your heart and do what works best for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t go halfway when you need to finish what you start to reap the rewards. Now is not the time to rely on others to take on your responsibilities. If you feel you should move on, do so quickly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): The less you leave undone, the better you will feel and the more time you will have to enjoy friends and family. Your willingness to help others and to share what you have will bring about an interesting, surprising situation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Someone else’s lifestyle may appear to be better or more interesting but, before you decide to follow suit, consider your needs and what has worked for you in the past. You are original, creative and experimental so, no matter what path you follow, make it your own. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Remember what has happened before you decide to let someone back into your life who caused havoc in the past. Focus on your talent and ability to get ahead on your own and you will find it much less stressful.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married 19 years to a beautiful, accomplished woman. We have two wonderful children. I fooled around throughout my marriage because I could. I justified it by telling myself the women knew what they were doing, and I never made any false promises about leaving my wife. She suspected a couple of times, but always gave me the benefit of the doubt. My last affair ended publicly with every gory detail exposed. My family, work, reputation — everything that mattered to me — have been destroyed. I can’t talk about any of it to a therapist because I am so ashamed. Friends, family and co-workers now shun me. I have hit rock bottom. If you have a hopeful solution, please share it. Otherwise, please print this as a warning to other men like me that when they hit bottom — as will surely happen — there’s nowhere to turn. I want to end my life. — SHATTERED IN LOUISIANA DEAR SHATTERED: I understand this experience has been painful for all concerned, but stop focusing only about yourself and your pain. Suicide may seem like a solution to your problems, but your children need you alive and functional — and their needs must take precedence. Find a therapist — someone you can relate to, and feel safe enough with to discuss everything that has happened from the beginning. There is life after divorce. And,

Can you tell me how to tell her that visits to my house are no longer welcomed? — DONE WITH THE DRAMA

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

as many celebrities can attest, there is also life after public embarrassment and career setbacks. So straighten your backbone and keep marching forward. While it may not seem like it right now, there are better days ahead. o DEAR ABBY: My mother and I rarely get along — mainly because she thinks she’s fabulous and I don’t. I’m in my 30s, married with a child and have a career. I am tired of riding an emotional roller coaster with Mother. She is planning her next visit and I don’t want her to come. Her visits end up lasting a week or more, and her conversation consists of complaining, making snide comments about my house and how I am raising my child (under the guise of being “helpful”), and then whining because I don’t have the time or desire to entertain or placate her.

DEAR DONE: When your mother raises the subject of her visit, tell her that she would be more comfortable staying at a hotel when she comes and so would you. That way you can control the amount of time you spend together. Offer to split the cost with her, then pray she agrees. o DEAR ABBY: Here’s a new one for you. A group of friends and I are frequent customers on some of the home shopping channels. When we buy jewelry it arrives in a gift case or box. We hate to throw them away. Any ideas on how we can donate or recycle those gift boxes? — DIANA IN LAKEWOOD, CALIF. DEAR DIANA: Depending upon how you store your jewelry, you could keep the items in their presentation boxes in a drawer with the tops open, so the drawer becomes a large jewelry box and they don’t become scratched. Or, save the boxes and reuse them when giving small gifts at Christmas or on birthdays. If you know of any people or groups who make jewelry or other crafts, offer the boxes to them. Otherwise, (sob!) it’s off to the landfill.

ODDS AND ENDS Rare ’King of Herrings’ found off Swedish coast

Bottle-wielding man foils Va. truck-stop robbery

STOCKHOLM (AP) — First he thought it was a piece of plastic floating near the shoreline. When he got closer, 73-year-old Kurt Ove Eriksson realized the 12-foot (3.65-meter) serpent-like object was a rare creature from the depths of the ocean. Marine biologists later determined Eriksson had found a Giant Oarfish — the world’s largest bony fish — last seen in Swedish waters about 130 years ago. “It was very long and shiny,” Eriksson told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “It also had whiskers, even though it looked like they had been broken off. And a strange light-pink dorsal fin.” A retired engineer and avid fisherman, Eriksson made the unusual discovery Saturday on his way to his boathouse in Bovallstrand, on Sweden’s west coast. “I’ve been fishing around here since 1957 and I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said. “But I’ve seen enough fish to know that it was a deep-water fish.” Eriksson handed over the dead fish to The House of the Sea, an aquarium in the nearby town of Lysekil, where marine expert Roger Jansson said it’s being kept pending a decision on what to do with it. Jansson said the Giant Oarfish can grow up to 36 feet (11 meters), and is believed to live in deep waters. He said the last recorded discovery in Sweden was in 1879. Sightings of the fish are believed to have inspired tales of sea serpents.

CARMEL CHURCH, Va. (AP) — Officials said a customer who struck a guntoting man on the head with two beer bottles foiled a robbery at a truck stop off Interstate 95. Sheriff’s officials say the would-be robber brandished a gun at the clerk Saturday night at Mr. Fuel and demanded money, then pointed the weapon at several store customers. One customer walked to the rear of the store, got two beer bottles and struck the suspect in the back of the head. The customer struggled with the gunman, who in turn shot him several times. The customer didn’t suffer life-threatening injuries. Sheriff’s officials say the gunman hasn’t been arrested. A telephone message left Tuesday for Gary Poland, the general manager of Mr. Fuel, wasn’t immediately returned.

Woman accused of forcing son to smoke in ‘lesson’ ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. (AP) — An East Tennessee woman has been charged with forcing her 5-year-old son to smoke a cigarette. A Carter County deputy told the Johnson City Press that a 24-year-old woman was arrested Tuesday night on charges of child abuse and neglect, disorderly conduct and possession of marijuana. A jail officer said the woman was being held on a $12,500 bond. Jail records did not show if the woman hired a lawyer.

God is concerned with animals Q: Our daughter is very tender-hearted toward animals, and recently became a volunteer at our local animal shelter. We’re glad she’s found something that interests her, since many kids her age (she’s 16) drift along without much purpose. She feels this is what God wants her to do with her life, but is God really interested in things like this? -- Mrs. K.H. A: Yes, let me assure you that God is concerned about our care of every part of His creation -- including the animals. After all, He made them, and ultimately they belong to Him. The Bible says, “For every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills” (Psalm 50:10). And what your daughter is doing is a good thing in God’s eyes, for He is concerned about the way we treat animals (especially those that depend on us). The Bible says, “A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal” (Proverbs 12:10). On the day God made the animals, the Bible tells us that He pronounced it good (see Genesis 1:25). Should we ignore or treat cruelly something that God calls good? Of course not. Someone who is thoughtless or cruel to animals is also likely to be thoughtless or cruel to other people -- who are made in God’s image. Encourage your daughter to seek God’s will for her life -- and if she is convinced God is leading her in this way, be grateful for it and encourage her. On the other hand, caution her against loving animals more than she loves people (which can be easy to do -- because people can be difficult to love!).
