SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With the economy turning, local companies are beginning to hire workers again.

man Resource Management, Career Blitz 2010 helps applicants brush up on their job interviewing skills, learn what local employers are looking for in new employees and understand how to move up the career ladder once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve landed that all-important job.

POLICE BEAT HARNETT COUNTY

Britney Quick is charged with one count of breaking and entering into a residence, one count of larceny and one count of possession of stolen property. Raeder is charged with 14 counts of breaking and entering into a residence, 11 counts of larceny, 11 counts of possession of stolen property, two counts of conspiracy and one count

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because so many people have been out of work for so long,â&#x20AC;? Parker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When hiring picks up, people who have given up on finding a job will start looking again. That means there will be even more people in the job market than it appears right now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Companies will have a lot of people to choose from. Applicants who have a lot to offer and come across best on the application and in the job interview will be the ones hired.â&#x20AC;? Parker believes job seekers can improve their chances by getting some

good advice and spending time preparing for the interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, there are a lot of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dos and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ts to make a better impression, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely essential in any interview,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take the handshake, for example. A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give it any thought whatsoever, but it could be the most important part of the entire interview.â&#x20AC;? Seating is limited for Career Blitz 2010.

Relay for Life brings out the best in Sanford Our View Issue: The expected success of the 15th Relay for Life event tonight at the Lee County Fairgrounds

Our stance: Even in these difficult financial times, the people of Sanford show their true colors by supporting this worthy event

The generosity of the people of Sanford never ceases to amaze us. Even in the last two years, when our unemployment rate has skyrocketed to among the tops in the state and sales have been down across the board, the folks of Sanford have kept their priorities in order and given what they could to make life brighter for someone else. Need an example? Look no further than tonight’s Relay for Life event at the Lee County Fairgrounds. Last year, even in the most dire of economic recession, the event still raised more than $176,000 in corporate and individual contributions.

This recession has been rough for all of us, and hopefully there’s light at the end of the tunnel now. But the expected success of an event like tonight’s 15th Relay for Life during the difficult times shines a light on what we love most about our town and area. This year, according to Event Organizer Shirley Crissman, the event has already surpassed last year’s total for pre-event contributions, with more than $85,000 in hand going into the night. It looks like, with more corporate and individual donations expected to flow in overnight tonight, this year’s goal of $180,000 raised for the American Cancer Society looks like a piece of cake.

Wyeth was a major contributor to fundraisers in this area before Pfizer purchased the company, and the local vaccine plant, last year. Local fudraisers faced the possibility that one of their strongest corporate partners woudl die with the merger. But even the new company in town, Pfizer, has stepped up to the plate, donating more than $14,000 from corporate

and worker contributions to this year’s event, making them the leading “team” going in. Many others have done their part as well, including teams from Pentair and Sanford Women’s Fitness and corporate donations totalling more than $3,000 from Walgreen’s. This recession has been rough for all of us, and hopefully there’s light at the end of the tunnel now. But the expected success of an event like tonight’s 15th Relay for Life during the difficult times shines a light on what we love most about our town and area. You’re good people, Sanford. Keep it up.

Water in the liquor

ALEIGH – A recent legislative review of North Carolina’s government-controlled system of alcohol sales proved just how much influence local governments have over the lawmaking crowd in the state capital. The review began after some eyecatching abuses by local officials who oversee Alcohol Beverage Control stores in New Hanover and Mecklenburg counties. ... As legislators met, talk of liquor store privatization was being batted about. Legislators looked at an earlier study in which legislative staffers called for more state control and consolidation of local ABC boards. By the time it completed its review, the legislative study committee wasn’t quite so bold. It recommended only that the state ABC Commission set performance standards and training requirements for local ABC officials. On the same day that the legislative committee made its recommendation, a budget review group appointed by Gov. Beverly Perdue issued its own, more aggressive proposals. It called for limitations on local salaries, additional powers for the state ABC Commission to close under-performing stores and requirements that local ABC officials comply with state ethics rules. In trying to understand why two groups studying the same problems came to vastly different conclusions, it’s worth considering the respective backgrounds of each. Many legislators began their political lives as town or city council members, or county commissioners. Even those who didn’t typically consider town and county governments among their most important constituents. With local government considered the government that is closest to the people, state legislators usually don’t ignore the wishes of those representatives of local government. Town aldermen and county commissioners are also people with whom legislators socialize, go to church, chat with at local political functions. Local government officials weren’t happy with the talk of liquor sales privatization or more state control. For many, liquor sales help boost their budget bottom lines. ... Perdue’s Budget Reform and Accountability Commission, on the other hand, is heavily weighted with business executives and former business executives. Just one member, Norma Houston, has held a local government position. Houston was Dare County attorney for a few years. Of course, just because one group of legislators recommends a set of watered-down proposals doesn’t mean that their counterparts in the legislature won’t go in different direction. The proposals from Perdue’s commission will put pressure on legislators to consider broader reforms. But you can bet that any legislators who back bills infringing on local government power will be getting calls from fellow elected officials back home.

Mystery of Elena Kagan

ASHINGTON — From the supporters of Elena Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court, we have learned that as Harvard Law School’s dean she provided free bagels and coffee to students, improved the gymnasium and added a multipurpose ice rink. Her detractors have reported on liberal columns she wrote — as a college student in the Daily Princetonian. Profiles have informed us that during Kagan’s Supreme Court clerkship, Justice Thurgood Marshall dubbed her “Shorty.” The chattering class is focused on such trivia because there is not much else to say. The single most prominent thing about Kagan is her extraordinary ability, while holding high-profile jobs in the legal profession, to say nothing about the major issues of the day. It is the one judgment that Kagan observers of all ideological backgrounds seem to share. Tom Goldstein, a Kagan supporter, admits, “I don’t know anyone who has had a conversation with her in which she expressed a personal conviction on a question of constitutional law in the past decade.” Carrie Severino, a Kagan critic from the right, concludes, “She’s been so careful for so long that no one seems to know exactly what she does think.” Glenn Greenwald, a Kagan critic from the left, contends that “her academic career is surprisingly and disturbingly devoid of writings or speeches on most key legal and Constitutional controversies.” Kagan has been a leader in the field of law without having a distinctive legal voice. She has been a leader in academia without having left a discernible academic mark. We know little about her views and values — and we are not intended to know much about them. This has become the path of least resistance to the Supreme Court — being eminent without being conspicuous. But no public life is without a trace. In her story we can discern at least a few things. First, we know that she is connected to just about everyone in the legal establishment, and most seem to like her. She was a classmate of former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and legal commentator Jeffrey Toobin, and was a protege of historian Sean Wilentz and Judge Abner Mikva. As dean of Harvard Law School, she hired conservative scholars and treated them decently. On a personal level, she is not a vicious partisan. Second, we know from friends and colleagues that Kagan is a social liberal. Charles Fried, a prominent jurist at Harvard, says, “I do not doubt that her heart beats on the left.” It could hardly be otherwise. Kagan hails from a very small ideological neighborhood — Manhattan, Princeton University, the University of Chicago, and Harvard Law School. To paraphrase President Obama, she shows a keen understanding of how the law affects the daily lives of people on the Upper West Side and in the

Human beings are such smart critters. When we started making bone and stone tools, we were compelled to make them beautiful as well as functional. As we learned to work metal, we looked up into the heavens and discerned a magnificent architecture there. We learned the order of the seasons and discovered how to plant, grow and harvest in harmony with it. We developed language, music and mathematics. Surely such extraordinary creatures are capable of harnessing their technology to safely harvest fossil fuels, clean up coal and produce atomic energy without destroying our planet. Let’s focus, kids. P.S. You children have to learn to get along with each other, too! IRENE SMITH Sanford

Ivy League. Third, we know, or at least suspect, that Kagan is favorable to strong executive authority. Her writings endorse presidential control of federal agencies on domestic issues. During her confirmation hearings for solicitor general, Kagan also seemed to approve the detention of enemy combatants without trial during a time of war. So: Kagan is a fair-minded social liberal who favors a strong executive. Sound like anyone you know? It would seem that Obama has chosen a version of himself. But are these vague attributes enough for the Senate to make a serious judgment about the quality of a Supreme Court nominee? Wouldn’t it be helpful to know Kagan’s political, legal and constitutional views? The political culture surrounding judicial nominations — driven by attack ads and advocacy groups — undermines this possibility. “The Framers intended the Senate to take the broadest view of its constitutional responsibility,” a senator once explained, including the scrutiny of a nominee’s “political, legal and constitutional views.” That was Joe Biden announcing his opposition to Judge Robert Bork in 1987. Bork’s vivid opinions were used by opponents to sink his nomination. Kagan’s confirmation strategy, implemented over a lifetime of blandness, is likely to be more effective. Yet Kagan’s expansive silence leaves a broad range of plausible interpretations. Is she a temperamental moderate who doesn’t like comprehensive pronouncements or judicial activism of any kind? Is she a consensus-oriented liberal who will be able to pull Justice Anthony Kennedy to the left on key votes? Is she is a committed progressive who has carefully hidden her views? Is it possible Kagan lacks any well-formed constitutional perspective at all? Who knows? Who could possibly know?

On behalf of more than 5.5 million citizen-activists nationwide, the 60 Plus Association is asking Congress to support the passage of HR 2057/S.3181, the “Motor Vehicle Owners’ Right to Repair Act.” The Right to Repair Act is a good piece of bipartisan legislation that requires automakers to provide the same service information, safety alerts and tools to independent auto repair shops, as well as to consumers, that the automaker dealership service centers receive. This bill would increase competition in the auto repair industry in the United States which we believe would benefit senior consumers. Opponents of this legislation don’t give consumers, especially seniors, credit. They are savvy enough to shop and compare. Competition keeps rates down and keeps companies on their toes — answering to consumers on technology, service and price. As for the property rights concerns cited by the car companies, the bill states that their trade secrets and proprietary information will be protected. This legislation, which has attracted supporters on both sides of the aisle, is good for seniors and all consumers. Times, technologies and service providers have changed, and now Congress needs to change the law so that all auto repair facilities can fairly compete for seniors’ business.

Primary Continued from Page 1A

although the N.C. State Board of Elections has yet to certify statewide returns. All told, 4,491 voters cast their ballots this primary season through one-stop voting, provisional and absentee ballots and election day voting. That’s about 14 percent of Lee County’s 32,408 registered voters. Primary day voting, which accounted for almost 70 percent of total turnout, was 3,063. Kimble said such a low turnout was expected in a primary election that did not involve a presidential race and few contested offices. The majority of those votes, or 2,564, were cast by Lee County Democrats, while another 1,817 Republicans weighed in as well. Turnout was heaviest in Sanford’s southern precincts A1 and A2 with voting at Southern Lee High School and J. Glenn Edwards Elementary, respectively. Last week’s results advanced newcomer Jim Womack as the Repub-

lican challenger for an open seat on the county Board of Commissioners. In an election that came down to just 146 votes separating Womack from his challenger Tamara Brogan, Womack did the most damage in western precincts, beating out Brogan by nearly 100 in ballots cast at J.R. Ingram Elementary. Womack will face Democrat Kenny Cole in November’s election for the Board of Commissioners. With three Board of Education seats up for grabs, incumbents Linda Smith and John Bonardi, as well as newcomer Mark Akinosho emerged at the top. Smith led all candidates with 1,949 votes, with Akinosho and Bonardi just behind with 1,877 and 1,833, respectively. Smith fared well across the board in Lee County precincts, and grabbed the highest count, more than 700 votes, in early voting to keep her seat. Akinosho and Bonardi also had a big showing in early voting, tallying 551 and 651 votes, respectively.

TRIANGLE

Building permits, lot closings soar By MONICA CHEN The Durham Herald-Sun

DURHAM (MCT) — The number of building permits issued and the number of lots closed in the Triangle surged in the first quarter compared to a year ago, signaling eagerness on the part of some builders to snap up products at a low cost, housing experts said. The numbers released by Market Opportunity Research Enterprises, a real estate research firm in Rocky Mount, showed that while the number of closings and median sale prices have stayed roughly the same compared to first quarter 2009, the number of building permits and lots have doubled and tripled in some parts of the Triangle. In Durham County, the number of building permits issued more than

organizers are hoping to raise $180,000 through the event — funds that come from both corporate sponsors and money raised from individuals at the walk. She said that the economy took its toll on last year’s event, but it was still able to raise

down 39 percent, while the median price of lots more than doubled, to $75,000. Bernard Helm, president of MORE, said some of the activity can be attributed to the second round of homebuyers tax credits. “Builders are the most optimistic businessmen in the economy. They take risks that no one else would take,” Helm said. “A lot of builders took permits for the first quarter, anticipating demand created by the second tax credit program.” To be eligible for the tax credit program, buyers needed to have homes under contract by the end of April, to close by the end of June. “The government programs have muddied the waters around the true state of the housing industry, making it very difficult

doubled from 132 in first quarter 2009 to 271 first quarter 2010, and the number of lots closed for single-family homes have nearly quadrupled from a measly 55 last year to 264 this year. The median price of lots closed dropped, however, from $35,000 last year to $30,000 first quarter 2010. In Wake County, the number of building permits was up 72.3 percent from last year, to a total of 1,082 permits issued in the first quarter. The number of single-family lots closed nearly tripled, to 702. Orange County, because it is a smaller market, did not trend with the other counties. The number of building permits issued there increased by nine from the same period last year, to a total of 59. The number of lots closed was

for us to see where we are relative to the condition of the longer term market,” Helm added. By August, he said, the picture will be clearer. Nick Tennyson, executive vice president of the Home Builders Association of Durham, Orange and Chatham, was similarly sedate about the first quarter numbers. “If you get the base low enough, you have some exciting percentage changes,” he said. “None of us are having parties, though. There are still a lot of people that are not working.” Tennyson said some of the sales might have been made because the lot values were so low that they were too good to pass up, especially for builders who were able to muster up the financing.

Two graduation ceremonies were held due to the large number of students: an 11 a.m. ceremony for about 200 students attending to receive AAS degrees, diplomas and certificates in vocational, business and public service programs; and a 3 p.m. ceremony for about 100 students receiving AA and AS degrees, and AAS degrees, diploma and certificates in medical programs. Speakers for both commencement sessions were chosen by the recommendations of faculty. Alex Dawson of Harnett County and Donna Flowers of Lee County delivered the addresses at the morning graduation. Afternoon speakers were Robert Bridges of Lee County, Danielle Howarth of Harnett and Lee Early College graduating student Hillary Akers. Dawson said being dyslexic made school difficult for him and he had no desire to continue his education after high school. In addition, he is a recovering alcoholic, and he said with encouragement from his wife, Rebecca, he finally enrolled at CCCC. “The college opened my eyes to education again,” he said. “It’s never too late to pursue your dreams and your goals.” Akers was one of four Lee Early College students who received associate degrees from CCCC during the commencement. On May 17, they will also receive their high school diplomas

Lee Early College opened in 2006 on CCCC’s Lee County Campus as a collaborative effort between Lee County Schools and Central Carolina Community College. Its students earn both a high school diploma and an associate degree or university transfer credits in just four to five years. “If there is one lesson that I have learned from my experiences here it is that, when you find a community of people who can truly break the stereotypes set in stone by society, you have found a community of people who cannot fail,” she told the graduates and audience. She said that, with Lee Early College, CCCC broke through many stereotypes about adolescents, believing that high school age students could, with encouragement, achieve at the college level. “I believe that they have been proved right,” she said. The hall erupted with

cheers and the clicking of cameras as the graduating students’ names were called and each walked across the stage to receive the hard-earned degree, diploma or certificate from Marchant. When all were presented, CCCC Board of Trustees Chairman Bobby Powell instructed the graduates to move the tassels on their caps from the right to the left side, symbolic of their achievement. The excitement of the commencements carried into the Wicker Center’s foyer as the graduates reunited with their family and friends to receive congratulations and to congratulate each other. “It feels fantastic,” said Tanya Haislip, of Lee County, who received her AAS in Accounting degree and Certificate in Payroll Accounting. “I can’t explain it.” Haislip, who served as SGA president, is now looking forward to working and then earning a bachelor’s degree over time. Jeremy Rushlow and Gary Allen, both of Cha-

tham, had the distinction of being the college’s first recipients of its AAS in Alternative Energy Technology: Biofuels. CCCC is the first and only community college in North Carolina, and perhaps the nation, to offer this degree. “I’m relieved,” Rushlow said of achieving his degree. He’s not stopping there. He plans to now earn an Associate in Science-University Transfer

STATE BRIEFS

NAACP wants investigation of police deteriorated the social conditions that promote effective law enforcement and the partnerships that encourage public safety.â&#x20AC;? Supporters of the protesters claim Greensboro police use racial profiling among officers, citing a federal lawsuit of 39 minority officers who alleged racial discrimination under former chief David Wray. There are also allegations that a Latino police officer was unfairly charged with assault because he was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;whistleblowerâ&#x20AC;? of the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practices. The city responded Thursday to accusations. Greensboro Mayor William Knight said in a press release that he and his

administration supported the police. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no corruption within the Greensboro Police Department. Good policing, adherence to professional standards and quality training are benchmarks to which the department strives to reach every day,â&#x20AC;? he said. A letter from the Pulpit Forum with about 100 claims of police corruption was submitted to the city in January, said Denise Turner, assistant city manager. The claims are being responded to, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear yet whether any of those claims justify investigations, she said. The city will be issuing a response in the coming weeks.

MEBANE

13 suffer minor injuries in train derailment

MEBANE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An Amtrak-operated commuter train with 36 passengers on board derailed Thursday in North Carolina after striking a tractor-trailer that was stuck on the tracks, injuring at least 13 people and setting the locomotive and a car on fire. The Piedmont train derailed shortly after 8 a.m. when it hit a lowboy trailer used to carry large equipment at a crossing in Mebane, authorities said. Amtrak operates the train, which the state of North Carolina owns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never witnessed anything like that ever in my life,â&#x20AC;? Bob Farrar of Mebane, who saw the ac-

cident during a morning walk, told the Times-News of Burlington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like seeing special effects from a movie happen right in front of you.â&#x20AC;? The trailer was stuck on the tracks before the train reached the crossing, according to state Department of Transportation spokeswoman Sondra Artis. Emergency crews from Alamance County and the town of Mebane were working to clean up a diesel spill at the scene, Amtrak spokeswoman Karina Romero said. Calls to both agencies were not immediately returned Thursday. Witness Kent Cates

told WRAL-TV: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diesel fuel from the train busted and started blazing up pretty good. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like anybody (was) hurt badly. It sounded like a big boom, big explosion. You could see bolts and stuff coming off the train and onto peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cars.â&#x20AC;? The crossing at the intersection of 5th and East Center streets in Mebane has a gate with flashing lights. The gate and lights were both working, Artis said. Artis said local, state and federal agencies are investigating the derailment. Amtrak said in a news release that 12 passengers

and one crew member were injured in the derailment and were taken to one of three hospitals: Alamance Regional Medical Center in Burlington; Duke University Hospital in Durham or the University of North Carolina Hospital. Six previous accidents have occurred at the crossing dating back to 1978, including a wreck in 2005 that killed a 78-yearold, according to records from the Federal Railroad Administration. No one was injured in the most recent accident, which occurred in February. The Piedmont, train No. 73, runs daily between Charlotte and Raleigh.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Five North Carolina primary campaigns are heading to a runoff. Four of the races are for seats in Congress. Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham asked for a runoff in his race against Secretary of State Elaine Marshall. Republican congressional candidate Harold Johnson asked for a runoff in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitive 8th District. The other runoffs will be held in Republican primaries for the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12th and 13th congressional districts along with the Democratic campaign for the 21st state Senate district. The runoff will be held June 22. State Board of Elections deputy director Johnnie McLean said several candidates have also requested recounts in local races, mostly for various county commissions.

Settlement in gill net case to protect turtles RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A settlement has been reached between North Carolina regulators and a rescue center in an effort to protect endangered turtles in coastal waters. The North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission and the Division of Marine Fisheries agreed to new rules governing fishing practices to minimize the incidental catch of turtles. The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center filed the lawsuit in February to

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former North Carolina Rep. Robin Hayes is picking sides in a Republican runoff as the GOP seeks to regain the seat Hayes lost two years ago. Hayes said on Thursday that he is endorsing Harold Johnson for the 8th District seat. He said he was impressed by the former sportscasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge of the issues and commitment to the country. Johnson came in second in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary election but requested a runoff because winner Tim Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Annunzio did not get enough votes to earn the nomination outright. That second election will be held June 22. Hayes held the 8th District seat for a decade before losing to Democratic challenger Larry Kissell in 2008. Kissell is seeking re-election.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making every mile a memoryâ&#x20AC;?

Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, said Republicans will attempt to introduce a measure during the legislative session that started this week to narrow the law to considering race only after a guilty verdict. But the GOP proposal is unlikely to advance this year. The decision to join Kentucky came last year after months of contentious debate and House and Senate votes along party lines. Any effort to introduce new legislation also faces multiple procedural hurdles lawmakers impose on themselves to focus work this year on passing adjustments to the state budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to go around the rules to get into the Racial Justice Act again. This session is to focus on the budget, not to go in with bills that will be controversial,â&#x20AC;? said House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman, D-Davidson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be glad to listen, but unless thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than one case out there, it can wait until Januaryâ&#x20AC;? when the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long legislative session begins. The law was opposed by district attorneys,

sheriffs and victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advocates who said it would make death penalty prosecutions too difficult. North Carolina has not had an execution since August 2006. Advocates pointed to research such as a 1990 report by the U.S. General Accounting Office that said dozens of studies have found â&#x20AC;&#x153;a pattern of evidence indicating racial disparities in the charging, sentencing, and imposition of the death penalty.â&#x20AC;? In one case cited by supporters, then-Gov. Mike Easley commuted the death sentence of Robert Bacon Jr. to life in prison in 2001. An allwhite jury had sentenced him to death for stabbing his loverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband to death. The woman, who is white and who lured her husband to the spot where he was killed, avoided a death sentence and has since been paroled. State NAACP president William Barber said the law will remain a target of Republican opposition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some people who will never want to acknowledge that we have racial disparities in America,â&#x20AC;? Barber said.

WILMINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The North Carolina studio where stars such as Michelle Williams and Chad Michael Murray got their start is expanding to Atlanta, partially because movie companies have asked for cityscapes Wilmington canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide. The StarNews of Wilmington reported that EUE/Screen Gems has begun the process to lease the former Lakewood Fairgrounds in Atlanta for a new studio lot called the Georgia Film and Television Center. The city of Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finance committee has approved the lease, and the city council is expected to vote on the deal Monday. EUE/Screen Gems plans to build a sound stage of up to 40,000 square feet, about the same size as Wilmingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dreamâ&#x20AC;? Stage 10 which opened a year ago, said Bill Vassar, executive vice president of the Wilmington studio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are people who have already contacted us about filming at the facil-

ity,â&#x20AC;? Vassar said. The new studio facility is expected to create more than 1,000 new jobs. EUE/ Screen Gems also has discussed starting a film job training program in cooperation with technical schools and colleges in Atlanta. Vassar said movie and television producers had asked EUE/Screen Gems to consider building in Atlanta for several reasons, including that they need cityscapes for some productions. Wilmington works well for country and suburban settings, but does not have a background that substitutes for large urban settings. NBC, Vassar said, had 17 pilots this year that were all based in big cities. None came to Wilmington because this area could not stand in for places like New York or Chicago. The lease agreement is for 50 years at $250,000 per year, increasing to $600,000 in the 10th year, the city of Atlanta said in a news release.

BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to try small tube to stem gusher

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; BP officials said Thursday they would thread a small tube into a jagged pipe on the seafloor to suck oil to the surface before it can spew into the Gulf and add to a disaster apparently set in motion by a long list of equipment failures. Engineers will have to make sure the 6-inchwide tube is inserted deep enough into the 21-inchwide pipe so gas and seawater donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mix, which can form crystals that could clog the tube. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also have to thread the tube into the pipe without hitting debris around the riser. The smaller tube will be surrounded by a stopper to keep oil from leaking

A Coast Guard plane flies over the Development Driller III oil drilling platform which is drilling a relief well at the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana Wednesday. into the sea. The tube will then siphon the crude to a tanker at the surface, though BP declined to estimate how much oil the tube will be able to collect. Company spokesman Bill Salvin said engineers hope to start moving the tube into place Thursday night, but it will take 12 hours to get the tube fully hooked up. Another option is a small containment box called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;top hat,â&#x20AC;? which is already on the seafloor and also would siphon oil to a tanker on the surface. Officials are waiting to use the box until they know if the tube works, and how well itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working, Salvin said. Engineers still might consider trying to fill the leak with golf balls and other debris â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the â&#x20AC;&#x153;junk shot,â&#x20AC;? though that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be until at least next week. And a relief well is being drilled, but that is at

least two months away. BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s updates came a day after hearings in Washington and Louisiana uncovered a checklist of unseen breakdowns on largely unregulated aspects of well safety that apparently contributed to the April 20 blowout aboard the Deepwater Horizon: a leaky cement job, a loose hydraulic fitting, a dead battery. Company officials insist what caused the accident is not yet clear. The trail of problems highlights the reality that, even as the U.S. does more deepwater offshore drilling in a quest for domestic oil, some key safety components are left almost entirely to the discretion of the companies doing the work. It remains unclear what, if anything, Congress or the Obama administration may do to address these regulatory deficiencies.

So far, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has proposed splitting his departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Minerals Management Service in two to make safety enforcement independent of the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other main function â&#x20AC;&#x201D; collecting billions in royalties from the drilling industry. But the events that unfolded in the hours before the blowout on the Deepwater Horizon suggest much more will need to be done on the regulatory front. As the day of the catastrophe got under way on the drilling platform 48 miles off Louisiana, workers were stabilizing the miledeep exploratory well to mothball until production. Shortly after midnight, nearly 22 hours before the explosion, contractor Halliburton finished pumping cement into the well. Heavy cement is used to fill gaps around the drill piping and block any surge of natural gas or oil. As part of the planned routine, the workers next capped the drill pipe with the first of multiple cement plugs. The plugs are meant to stop any upsurge of gas or oil inside the piping. The cement and metal casing along well walls were then checked. Positive pressure tests indicated they were sound. However, there are no federal standards for the makeup of the crucial cement filler.

Kagan courts converts, gains favor on Capitol Hill

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan won praise from skeptical senators in both parties Thursday, building momentum toward what for now appears a smooth road to confirmation this summer. Kagan, in her second full day of private one-on-one meetings on Capitol Hill, scored points for candor with one-time critic Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., and convinced Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strong supporter of the military, despite her move as law school dean to bar its recruiters from Harvardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus. Neither senator committed to voting for Kagan, the solicitor general who President Barack Obama has tapped to succeed retiring Justice John Paul Stevens. But the positive reviews suggested Kagan is making a strong case for herself as she calls on the senators whose votes sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to be confirmed.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New claims for unemployment benefits dipped for the fourth straight week, a sign the job market is improving at a slow but steady pace. Employers, encouraged by a recovering economy, are hiring again. But they are not doing it at the level needed to reduce the jobless rate. The Labor Department said Thursday that initial claims dropped last week by 4,000 to a seasonally adjusted 444,000. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slightly above analystsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; estimates, according to Thomson Reuters. The previous weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total was revised up to 448,000. The four-week average, which smooths out volatility, registered a steeper decline. It fell by 9,000 to 450,500 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; close to the averageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowest level this year reached in late March. After dropping steadily last year from a peak of 651,000, first-time claims have fluctuated at around 450,000 since January. Many economists would like to see claims fall faster, which would be a sign of more hiring.

in the recession could be gone for good. And unlike in past recessions, jobs in the beleaguered manufacturing sector arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only ones likely lost forever. What sets the Great Recession apart is the variety of jobs that may not return. That helps explain why economists think it will take at least five years for the economy to regain the 8.2 million jobs wiped out by the recession â&#x20AC;&#x201D; longer than in any other recovery since World War II.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fans plan series finale parties A hit with Oprah, singer tries to win over teens

By DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lostâ&#x20AC;? changed Cliff Ravenscraftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. The insurance agent and his wife began dissecting the mind-bending ABC drama in a weekly podcast as a hobby in 2005. Ravenscraft loved the medium so much, he ditched his career in 2008 and now makes a living from podcasting and consulting. When the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creators announced the series finale would air May 23, Ravenscraft knew he needed to plan something huge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I recognized early on that this was going to be something bigger than my living room,â&#x20AC;? he said. Ravenscraft reserved the entire restaurant at the Hilton Cincinnati Airport hotel in Florence, Ky., for the one-time-only occasion. He expects over 75 visitors from as far away as The Netherlands to attend the finale fete and nosh on a buffet dinner â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no boar meat, he promised â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while watching the final â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lostâ&#x20AC;? spectacle from a highdefinition projector. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to watch something as big as this by yourself,â&#x20AC;? said Ravenscraft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife and I are die-hard â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Lostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fans. We have a community of

Glatfelter co-hosts â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lost Podcast with Jay and Jackâ&#x20AC;? with his father Jack. over 50,000 subscribers. These people want to get together with each other. There is no doubt in my mind that on that evening, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to need some Kleenex on hand. My wife has already shed tears over this.â&#x20AC;? Jay Glatfelter, who cohosts â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lost Podcast With Jay and Jackâ&#x20AC;? with his father Jack, is planning something even bigger. He enlisted a sponsor, Global Cash Card, and rented out the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles to watch the final exploits of Jack, Hurley, Kate, Sawyer and company. Glatfelter said the nearly 2,000 tickets have already sold out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to expect,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be

exciting and scary all at the same time, just like the show. If nobody likes the finale, there may be a riot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown Los Angeles after all, but I hope itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a lot of fun. The â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Lostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; community is like one big family. We can laugh together, and we can cry together.â&#x20AC;? Along with studying the finale, the event boasts a question-andanswer session with actor Michael Emerson (who plays Benjamin Linus), panel discussions from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lostâ&#x20AC;? bloggers and podcasters and a live edition of Glatfelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s podcast immediately following the finale. The event will also feature the winner of a video contest receiving a replica Dharma Initia-

tive van. Some fans are keeping it simple. Bobby â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fatboyâ&#x20AC;? Roberts, who assays â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lostâ&#x20AC;? with partner Cort Webber on their podcast â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cort and Fatboy Show,â&#x20AC;? has been organizing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lostâ&#x20AC;? viewing parties for 600 like-minded fans at Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic Bagdad Theater since the final season began airing Feb. 2. The duo are planning a similar soiree for the series finale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cort and I will get up, say hello, thank everyone for coming on the ride with us, then get out of the way so we can endure the two hours of show and 30 minutes of commercials,â&#x20AC;? said Roberts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Matthew Fox wants to drop by and watch it with us, since he apparently lives in our neck of the woods now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly not against him appearing and saying hi.â&#x20AC;? No matter where â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lostâ&#x20AC;? fans plan to watch the finale, the entire conclusion will require a colossal time commitment. Preceding the twoand-a-half-hour finale is a two-hour retrospective special looking back at the past six seasons. Afterward, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lostâ&#x20AC;? cast members will bid the series farewell on his hourlong talk show.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Charice has already won over the mom market. The teen wunderkind from the Philippines has been wowing audiences with her big voice and Celine Dion covers on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ellen DeGeneres Show,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Oprah Winfrey Showâ&#x20AC;? and other shows for the last two years. This week, she appeared on Winfreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show for the fourth time. But as she releases her self-titled debut album this week, Charice finds herself with a serious challenge as she tries to translate her success with an adult audience to her peers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been singing big songs, and this is the actually the first time they are going to hear me sing Justin Biebertype of songs, Miley Cyrus-type of songs,â&#x20AC;? the 18-year-old said recently in her heavily accented English. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just excited for all the teenagers to hear my album.â&#x20AC;? Had Charice come along around the era of Dion or Whitney Houston, two of her idols, it would have been easier to make that move. Back then, big-ballad singers with towering voices dominated pop radio. These days, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the grooves behind the big voice that matter. David Foster, the

Charice

Grammy-winning mentor behind Charice, probably knows that better than anyone. A legendary producer who has made hits for Houston, Dion, Barbra Streisand, Toni Braxton and dozens of other top names, Foster understands his sound isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what makes hits on pop radio anymore (though he still makes hits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the producer behind multiplatinum stars Josh Groban and Michael Buble). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew if I produced the album, it would be adult-oriented. It would skew older. It would be maybe a quick, easy sale, but ultimately, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very, very hard to skew younger after you start older, so we made a conscious decision to skew young first,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to say that we crumbled under the pressure of having to go youthful, but I think we hit it square on.â&#x20AC;? Though Foster and his sister Jaymes are the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive producers, they left most of the music-making to younger writers and producers like Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, whose hits include Beyonceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Haloâ&#x20AC;? and Leona Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bleeding Love.â&#x20AC;? The albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first single is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pyramid,â&#x20AC;? featuring singer Iyaz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just thought like, teenagers are falling in love ... they love this very catchy and very romantic words from all these young artists,â&#x20AC;? Charice said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I thought that this album ... they are gonna love it, all the lyrics, all the melody and all the music.â&#x20AC;? So far, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pyramidâ&#x20AC;? is No. 2 on the dance charts, but it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet translated to pop radio. Foster is aware of the challenge it takes to make a hit, but he thinks Charice has a lot to add to the scene.

EDUCATION

Should everyone go to college? Experts say not necessarily

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In a town dominated by the University of Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flagship campus and two smaller colleges, higher education is practically a birthright for high school seniors like Kate Hodges. She has a 3.5 gradepoint-average, a college savings account and a family tree teeming with advanced degrees. But in June, Hodges is headed to the Tulsa Welding School in Oklahoma, where she hopes to earn an associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in welding technology in seven months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They fought me so hard,â&#x20AC;? she said, referring to disappointed family members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They still think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to college.â&#x20AC;? The notion that a fouryear degree is essential for real success is being challenged by a growing number of economists, policy

They say more Americans should consider other options such as technical training or two-year schools, which have been embraced in Europe for decades. As evidence, experts cite rising student debt, stagnant graduation

rates and a struggling job market flooded with overqualified degreeholders. They pose a fundamental question: Do too many students go

to college? â&#x20AC;&#x153;College is what every parent wants for their child,â&#x20AC;? said Martin Scaglione, president and chief operating officer of work force development for ACT, the Iowa-based not-for-profit best known for its college entrance exam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is, they may not be ready for college.â&#x20AC;? President Barack Obama wants to restore the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s status as the world leader in the proportion of citizens with college degrees. The U.S. now ranks 10th among industrial nations, behind Canada, Japan, Korea and several European countries. But federal statistics show that just 36 percent

of full-time students starting college in 2001 earned a four-year degree within that allotted time. Even with an extra two years to finish, that groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduation rate increased only to 57 percent. Spending more time in school also means greater overall student debt. The average student debt load in 2008 was $23,200 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a nearly $5,000 increase over five years. Two-thirds of students graduating from fouryear schools owe money

on student loans. And while the unemployment rate for college graduates still trails the rate for high school graduates (4.9 percent versus 10.8 percent), the figure has more than doubled in less than two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A four-year degree in business â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that get you?â&#x20AC;? asked Karl Christopher, a placement counselor at the Columbia Area Career Center vocational program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A shift supervisor position at a store in the mall.â&#x20AC;?

SANFORD’S DIRK WINS SR. AMATEUR TOURNEY; STURDIVANT SECOND

ASHEBORO — Alan Dirk, of Sanford, hit a 5-iron for his 2nd shot at the 515 yard, par-5, 3rd hole in the Senior Amateur Golf Tour Tournament held at Pinewood Country Club Thursday. Landing safely on the green, Dirk calmly stroked the eagle putt home for a 3. Dirk wound up with a 2-under score of 70 and first place in the Championship Flight competition. Craig Sturdivant, also from Sanford, and Pinehurst’s Ken Eichele finished two strokes back. Dirk is going to have to deal with George Shadwick of Jackson Springs in the next event. After logging a 74 in the A Flight for a single stroke victory over Zebulon’s Dale Rogers, Shadwick declared, “Move me up (to the Championship Flight) next event”. Durham’s Mike Allison and Dale Rogers of Lawsonville finished two back of Shadwick.

Selig defends MLB’s record

NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball commissioner Bud Selig is ignoring calls to move next year’s All-Star game from Phoenix because of Arizona’s new immigration law. Asked about such demands at a news conference Thursday following an owners meeting, he responded with a defense of baseball’s minority hiring record. “Apparently all the people around and in minority communities think we’re doing OK. That’s the issue, and that’s the answer,” he said. “I told the clubs today: ‘Be proud of what we’ve done.’ They are. We should. And that’s our answer. We control our own fate, and we’ve done very well.” Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said he wouldn’t

participate in next year’s AllStar game if it remains in Arizona because of the law, which empowers police to determine a person’s immigration status. The Major League Baseball Players Association condemned the law and Rep. Jose Serrano, a New York Democrat whose district includes Yankee Stadium, sent Selig a letter asking him to move the game. Selig cited sports sociologist Richard Lapchick, whose annual report from the University of Central Florida’s Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports last month gave baseball an A for race and a B for gender hiring. Selig also referenced a lifetime achievement award he received in March from the Jackie Robinson Foundation.

Vickers hospitalized, won’t race Dover By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE (AP) — NASCAR driver Brian Vickers was being treated Thursday for an undisclosed medical condition that will prevent him from racing this weekend at Dover International Speedway. Red Bull Racing said Vickers was hospitalized Wednesday night and being held for further testing. The team did not reveal where he was hospitalized, although Vickers was scheduled to visit Walter Reed

Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., on Thursday and tour the Capitol with U.S. Rep Doc Hastings. Red Bull said Casey Mears will replace Vickers this weekend in the No. 83 Vickers Toyota. “It is unfortunate that I will not be able to participate in the Dover race,” Vickers said in a statement. “Casey

is a good friend of mine, and I know he will do his best for the No. 83 team this weekend. Red Bull general manager Jay Frye called Vickers’ illness a “minor setback.” “Our main concern right now is with Brian and his health and recovery,” Frye said. “All things are looking good at the moment, this is just a minor setback. We appreciate Casey filling in this weekend

For Gibbs, NASCAR’s Hall just as big as football CHARLOTTE (AP) — Joe Gibbs is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame for winning three Super Bowl titles as a coach. Maybe someday he’ll make it a double with the new NASCAR Hall of Fame. Although the car owner said that’s “probably a long ways off,” Gibbs insisted Tuesday’s opening of the stock car racing shrine in his home state means just as much as his football honor. “I’ve never been able to separate them,” Gibbs said. “Obviously, with this one

you get my family being a part of it. Having it here, for us it’s a big family deal. That’s a big part of my feelings toward this sport and this town. “The other thing is being a part of the NFL thing is a thrill, because it’s a whole different area for me because over there I was more of the technical guy.” Before embarking on building Joe Gibbs Racing, Gibbs guided the Washington Redskins to four Super Bowls, winning three. He was voted into the football

hall in Canton, Ohio, in 1996. “You can imagine what kind of goes through their minds,” Gibbs said of Hall of Fame inductees Junior Johnson and Richard Petty, the two living members to be enshrined May 23. “I know it’s a real thrill for those guys.” Indeed it is. A beaming Johnson said being in the first class is “the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me.” Petty added: “When you’re recognized with your own peers, it just makes it that much

MLB ROUNDUP

Houston Astrosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hunter Pence, left, rounds the bases after hitting a three-run home run off St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Chris Carpenter, right, during the third inning of a baseball game Thursday in St. Louis.

Astros complete an unlikely sweep of Cards field, although nothing got overheated. Pence was next up with two outs, and he hit his fifth homer to put Houston ahead 4-0. Padres 1, Giants 0 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mat Latos pitched a one-hitter, allowing just a sixth-inning single that deflected off him, and also drove in the lone run to lead the San Diego Padres over the San Francisco Giants 1-0 for a three-game sweep.

ST. LOUIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bud Norris shut down St. Louis for the fourth straight time, Hunter Pence hit a three-run homer after a testy exchange and Houston wrapped up a threegame sweep of the Cardinals on Thursday. The Cardinals have lost seven of nine. Norris (2-4) struck out eight and walked none in eight innings. He gave up one run and six hits. Though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 8-7 with a 5.10 ERA lifetime, Norris is 4-0 with a 0.35 ERA in four career starts against St. Louis. The Astros scored all four runs in the third, perhaps taking advantage of Chris Carpenterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temper. Carpenter (4-1) and Carlos Lee had a staredown and then exchanged words after Lee popped out with two runners on base, leading to both benches and bullpens streaming on the

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Not many 7foot-tall people can be described as unobtrusive, yet Andrew Bynum sometimes has a knack for blending into the scenery. Wearing street clothes and speaking in his soft voice, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fairly close to unremarkable while his fellow Los Angeles Lakers finish up an easy workout during their long week off. Bynum has no idea how visible heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in the Western Conference finals against the Phoenix Suns, whose small lineups and fast-paced game run counter to most of the advantages in Bynumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size and strength. He realizes he could spend much of the series on the bench, which might hurt his pride, but help the torn meniscus in his right knee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just need to be a little more active, which is tough with the knee, but I think I can get it done,â&#x20AC;? Bynum said Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just have to take advantage of early opportunities. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all I can really do. In the halfcourt set, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be fronting (me) ... but if I get down the court before all that happens, I get myself into the game, I get myself going.â&#x20AC;? The center who entered the league as a teenage target of Kobe Bryantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ridicule has grown into an effective low-post scorer and defender, still with room to improve. Bynum did some of the best work of his career early in the regular season, leading to brief talk of an All-Star candidacy. Yet Bynum knows he also has a tendency to disappear in games, playing passively on offense and moving too slowly on defense. He also knows

offs for the first time since 2001. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We beat a real good team,â&#x20AC;? said Lee County coach Charlie Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to give up, no matter how big their deficit was. We just prevented them from getting that big inning. Our kids gave a great offensive performance. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to hand it to this group.â&#x20AC;? A big second inning lifted the Yellow Jackets to a quick 7-0 lead over the Wildcats (16-9). In the second, Lee County sent 13 hitters to the plate and finished the inning with eight hits. The scoring fest got started when Garrett Verrilli belted an RBI double towards center to score Nick Durazo. Verrilli would eventually score on a wild pitch thrown by Georgetown signee Justin Abbott. Julio Parades, Alex Furl, Carson Wilson, Tyler Castleberry and Patrick Oldham each had hits and runs scored in the inning. The Yellow Jackets (13-10) allowed a run in the bottom of the second and then piled on four more runs of their own in the top of the third to go up 11-1. Parades, Furl, Dillon Frye and Castleberry each scored runs to put Lee County up by 10. In the bottom of the third, the Wildcats added another run to trim the deficit to nine at 11-2.

kept its offense going in the fourth with three more runs from Furl, Wilson and Castleberry. Leading 14-2 after 4 1/2 innings, Lee County allowed Millbrook to score two more runs in the fifth, but the Wildcats couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t extend the game with an extra run that would have prevented the game from ending due to the mercy rule. Lee County was led by Castleberryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-for-4 performance at the plate. Castleberry had two singles, a double and four RBI. Wilson was 2-for-4 with three RBI and two runs. Furl was 3-for-3 with a walk and scored three runs. Durazo was also 3-for-3 with a walk and two RBI. Oldham was 2-for-4 with two RBI. Verrilli finished 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just kept hitting the heck out of the ball,â&#x20AC;? said Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got that big lead, but we wanted to keep on adding runs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real easy to build a big lead and then get comfortable and lazy out there. We wanted to prevent that from happening and I think we did a good job of doing that.â&#x20AC;? The only source of offense for the Wildcats came from Patrick Hanks, who was 2-for-3 with two runs. Abbott was 1-for-3 at the plate and also had two runs. On the mound for Lee County wasFrye, who was sensational again after five days of rest. The righty threw a complete game and allowed just five hits while striking out seven in the victory.

Coming into Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoff game, Spivey knew his team would be facing a left handed pitcher. So, to help the Yellow Jackets prepare for a lefty, Spivey called former Yellow Jacket and current East Carolina club team pitcher Daniel Martin to throw batting practice on Wednesday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had four days of preparation and we had a great four days of practice,â&#x20AC;? said Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daniel Martin came and threw BP for us and that really helped us out a lot. It really helped get us ready for a lefty. Him coming down was absolutely huge. It really helped this team a lot.â&#x20AC;? Lee County will advance to the second round and will face the winner of East Chapel Hill and Richmond County on Tuesday night on the road. Those two clubs will meet tonight in Rockingham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Traditionally, Richmond County is a very good program and the same goes for East Chapel Hill,â&#x20AC;? said Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to be going to the second round but at the same time, we know that anything can happen in this game so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that we take things one game at a time.â&#x20AC;?

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Boss’s hint of cover-up means it’s time to leave company DEAR ABBY: I overheard my boss talking about something that sounded like a cover-up for an “accident” involving some people he doesn’t like. I would like to report him to the police, but he knows I heard him and I’m afraid if the police question him, my little girl or I could wind up having an “accident,” too. What should I do? Several people are already in the hospital. — WORRIED SICK

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: This is a great time to formulate and put into play all the ideas you have been mulling over the past few years. You can stabilize your position and make progress with regard to money, status and new prospects. Take a passionate look at your past, present and future and make choices that will help you achieve your dreams, hopes and wishes. Your numbers are 9, 12, 18, 23, 28, 31, 38 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Trust your judgment. Take the initiative to try things that will motivate you to experiment and do more. Accomplishment should be your intent and finishing what you have left undone, your goal. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t let your emotions play havoc with the decisions you need to make. You can have it all if you just forge ahead and put your know-how to good use. Don’t let someone else’s uncertainty bring you down. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Misrepresentation can be expected if someone has the impression you have something to offer that you don’t. Be very clear about what you can do. It’s best to undersell your talents right now and surprise everyone with the outcome. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t hold back. Lay your cards on the table and speak from the heart. The reactions you get will be better than you anticipate. An added responsibility at home will be favorable and will bring you greater security in the future. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A disagreement over money will come between you and someone you are trying to make a deal with. This is not the time to be greedy but also not the time to give away too much. You will have to strike a balance and make sure whatever you

WORD JUMBLE

offer is fair. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Relax and enjoy friends and activities you find inviting. Socializing will allow you to share ideas and expand plans you have for the future. Treat a lover relationship carefully or you may face complaints. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take in a stage production or go to the movies with a friend. You need to stimulate your mind, body and soul by being a participant. Today should be all about you and what you want to accomplish. Plan a special evening conducive to love and romance. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Forward thinking will be required. Be progressive and put your imagination and original ideas into play. Avoid anyone who is negative. Stick to the people who offer enlightening suggestions and positive input. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): A relationship problem must be dealt with logically if you don’t want it to turn into a costly matter. A skill you learn will come naturally and be satisfying. It’s time for new beginnings -- personally and professionally. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t take chances when it comes to finances or love. Update your personal papers to ensure that you will get the highest return. What you do now will help you build a financially stable future for yourself and your family. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Don’t wait to do things when you should be getting the small, detailed jobs out of the way now. Don’t let the stress of owing others get you down. Pay back whatever you owe. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There is no time to rest. Plan your actions and execute what needs to be done with precision. Putting your ideas to the test is the best way to gain support and promote your objective.

DEAR WORRIED: Because you are afraid you or your child could be in danger, find another job and put as much distance between you and your sociopathic boss as possible. And, as “insurance,” discuss not only what you heard — but also your concerns — with your religious adviser before contacting the authorities “confidentially.” All it takes for evil to flourish is for men (and women) of good conscience to remain silent.

o DEAR ABBY: I am a hospitalist, a physician who cares for hospitalized patients. When I enter a patient’s room, I invariably find the television blaring. Usually the patient or family members will make no effort to mute the TV, and I must turn it off myself. Because they are paying me to communicate, I would assume they would want to hear what I have to say. Occasionally patients have expressed irritation at having their TV turned off (they can turn it

back on using the bedside control). It seems to me that good manners require one to turn off the television or radio or hang up the phone when the physician makes rounds. Am I wrong? — HOSPITALIST IN THE NORTHEAST DEAR HOSPITALIST: You have my sympathy. Dr. Oz, Ellen and “The View” are stiff competition. No, you are not wrong. Not only is it good manners, it makes good sense to give full attention to everything the doctor has to say, as well as be able to answer any questions free of distraction. However, because your patients may not be thinking clearly — if they were they would use better manners — you are absolutely right to turn off the set after a brief explanation why.

o DEAR ABBY: I have been mar-

ried to my wife, “Leigh,” for seven years. We have two sons, ages 4 and 2. I love Leigh and our sons very much. Over the years I became increasingly dependent on drinking (beer). I have never been abusive, but Leigh expressed concern about it. I didn’t think the problem was anything we couldn’t deal with. A little over a year ago, Leigh’s mother died of cancer. It has been an extremely emotional time for her, and she has now decided she can no longer tolerate my behavior. She’s not even sure she’s in love with me anymore. Hearing her say it made me realize how big a deal my drinking is, and I am committed to changing. But after a month of trying, Leigh still says she would be better off alone. She is starting counseling soon. I told her I’d go with her. This is a painful period for us, and I can’t imagine my life without her and the kids. Is it too late? — SCARED SOBER IN AUSTIN DEAR SCARED: That remains to be seen. One month of sobriety isn’t enough to make up for years of being emotionally absent because you had a “buzz” going. Counseling may help you both, but you need more than that. If you are sincere about kicking the habit, you will join an alcohol rehab program. A listing for Alcoholics Anonymous is as near as your telephone directory — and so is Al-Anon, which could help your wife, who may still be grieving the loss of her mother.

ODDS AND ENDS Mules will help in radiation survey at LA-area lab LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency has a new weapon in the fight against radioactive contamination at a Los Angeles-area lab: Mules. The EPA will use four mules to carry high-tech scanning equipment to detect radiation on steep and rocky terrain at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory. The EPA is conducting a survey of soil and water contamination at the lab near Simi Valley, where rocket engines were tested for years and a partial meltdown of a nuclear reactor took place in 1959. About 500 acres of the lab will be scanned for gamma radiation. Results will be turned over to the state, which is overseeing a cleanup.

Thieves steal Ohio hearse, dump corpse, leave note CLEVELAND (AP) — A corpse was taken for a ride in Cleveland, then dumped by thieves who stole a crematory’s hearse and abandoned it with a note telling police where to find the body. Police on Wednesday found the woman’s body, in a bag and on a gurney, at the intersection specified in the note. Computer equipment also was taken from the crematory during Wednesday’s break-in. Sgt. Sammy Morris says police are investigating whether

MY ANSWER the hearse was stolen to haul the gear away. No arrests have been made. Funeral director Jim Murphy says the corpse was unharmed. It was scheduled to be cremated Wednesday. The Greenfield Crematory has apologized to the family. It says it was not unusual for the body to have been left in its vehicle, which was locked inside the building.

Police: Pa. pair forced man into boxers over drugs NEW KENSINGTON, Pa. (AP) — Police say a western Pennsylvania woman and her 20-year-old son forced a man to strip to his boxer shorts at gunpoint during a botched drug deal. Police said Nathaniel Lindgren and his mom, 41-year-old Jean Pinko, accosted the man on Friday after he came to their New Kensington home on Friday. Police say the man left his cell phone as collateral while he went to his friend’s car to get $90 to pay the suspects for the drugs. But before he could get the money, police arrested the friend on an outstanding theft warrant and began to tow his car away. Frightened, the man threw the drugs into the weeds and returned to get his cell phone. Police said Lindgren and Pinko thought the man was lying and made him strip to prove he didn’t have the drugs. Lindgren was charged with aggravated assault and weapons charges; Pinko was charged with conspiracy and other crimes. Neither has a listed phone.

Disabled son coping with taunts Q: Why are children so cruel? Our son has some slight physical handicaps, and it’s really hard for us to watch some of the children in his class make fun of him and call him nicknames that are hurtful. We’ve thought about saying something to his teachers, but we don’t want to be complainers. — Mrs. G.R. A: You shouldn’t hesitate to speak to his teachers about this; after all, your son’s welfare is at stake. They need to know what’s happening (which they probably don’t right now), and they should be grateful for your concern. Don’t take it to them as a complaint, however, but as something you felt they’d want to know. But I also hope you’ll talk with your son about this — not blowing it out of proportion, of course, but letting him know you love him and care about what’s happening to him. After all, one of our goals as parents is to prepare our children for adulthood -- for the time when they’ll no longer be under our care and protection. One way we do this is by helping them learn to deal with life’s bumps and bruises. In other words, some day your son will have to deal with things like this on his own — and the time for him to learn is now. Assure him that his physical limitations don’t make him any less valuable or important — either to you or to God. Most of all, urge him to commit his life to Christ, and to look to Him each day for the inner strength he needs. The Apostle Paul’s experience can become his: “I can do everything through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13).

A tiny little ball of fur, this puppy is so low to the ground that she is most familiar with her masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feet. Yet, when she is most lonely, just a cry and she is lifted up to see loving eyes that smile warmly. Though once again placed on the ground, the warmth remains. Each day, one might say that we, too, sit at the feet of our Master. As we travel from task to task, we may lose track of Him, but God is always watching over us. When we cry to Him we are lifted up and we feel the warmth and love that can only come from our Heavenly Father. Do you need to experience Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loving care?
