W RECK ON U.S. 1 CLAIMS TWO LIVES

Tragedy strikes LCHS Popular student killed after colliding with car stopped in wrong lane By BILLY LIGGETT and JONATHAN OWENS The Sanford Herald

‘GENERAL KAGAN’ HOLDS HER OWN BEFORE HIGH COURT

SANFORD — Two men — one a 17-year-old Lee County High School student — were killed in a collision on U.S. 1 near Wicker Street Extension Friday night.

The U.S. Supreme Court can be an intimidating setting for any lawyer, but the venue was all the more daunting for Obama nominee Elena Kagan because her courtroom experience before appearing before the justices was exactly nil

According to a report from the Sanford Police Department, Joshua Dean Britt, a junior at LCHS, and Anthony Newell Boswell, 48, of Sanford, each died at the scene. In the report, a witness told officers Boswell’s 1998 Mercury was stopped in the northbound lane of U.S. 1 facing south

with no lights on when Britt, driving a 1999 Ford at 65 MPH, hit him head on at 10:53 p.m. Friday. Police suspect Boswell was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The crash is still under investigation. There were no other pas-

SANFORD — For Candi Adcock, laughter was the best medicine. The year was 1994 and Adcock, a Sanford native, had just been diagnosed with an extremely aggressive form of breast cancer at the age of 35. One session of chemotherapy later and Adcock, who was known for her

long, Farrah Fawcett-style cut, was completely bald. She still remembers the look of shock on her thenteenaged son’s face when he saw her smooth scalp for the first time. “I said to him, ‘Do you reckon I could get a job with Sinead O’Connor?’” Adcock said. “He just died laughing and it broke the ice.” Then there was the longtime friend who, in a moment of absent-mind-

Almanac Today is Sunday, May 16, the 136th day of 2010. There are 229 days left in the year. This day in history: On May 16, 1960, a Big Four summit conference in Paris collapsed on its opening day as Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev demanded, but did not receive, an apology from President Dwight D. Eisenhower over the U-2 incident. The first working laser was demonstrated at Hughes Research Laboratories in Malibu, Calif. by physicist Theodore Maiman. In 1770, Marie Antoinette, age 14, married the future King Louis XVI of France, who was 15. In 1866, Congress authorized minting of the first five-cent piece, also known as the “Shield nickel.” In 1868, the Senate failed by one vote to convict President Andrew Johnson as it took its first ballot on the eleven articles of impeachment against him. In 1910, the U.S Bureau of Mines was established. (It ceased operations in 1996, its functions having been transferred to other agencies.) In 1920, Joan of Arc was canonized by Pope Benedict XV. In 1929, the first Academy Awards were presented. The movie “Wings” won “best production,” while Emil Jannings and Janet Gaynor were named best actor and best actress.

Bank threatens foreclosure as medical bills mount By GREG BARNES The Fayetteville Observer

SANFORD (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The letter from the mortgage lender promising lower payments couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have come at a better time. Linda and Lynwood Coombsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; infant son, Ethan, was in intensive care in the burn center at UNC Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital in Chapel Hill, and the bills were continuing to mount. Wells Fargo was saying it could cut the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mortgage payment by more than two-thirds through a loan-modification program approved last year by the Obama administration as a way to stem the enormous tide of foreclosures sweeping the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounded like an answer to our prayers when we were at a lowest point in our life,â&#x20AC;? Linda Coombs said. Today, the offer has become a nightmare. Wells Fargo is threatening to foreclose on the Coombsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home unless the family can come up with thousands of dollars that they say they just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have. In August, Linda Coombs was boiling tea on the stove. She turned the pot handles to the back as she had been taught, but she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider the dangling tea bag strings. One-year-old Ethan grabbed a string and pulled, Coombs said, sliding the pot off the stove and spilling boiling water over about two-thirds of his body. Ethan was rushed to UNC Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, where he stayed for nearly two weeks. He suffered second- and third-degree burns over much of his body and has required extensive surgery and frequent hospital stays, his mother said. The letter from Wells Fargo arrived while Ethan was still in intensive care. It said the family had been prequalified for the loan-

modification program, Linda Coombs said. The Coombses, who have four children, were a month behind in their mortgage payment, so they jumped at the offer to cut their monthly bill from about $766 to $233. Under the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Affordable Modification Program, eligible borrowers receive trial mortgage modifications in which payments are reduced to 31 percent of their income, according to the Congressional Oversight Panel. After three months of successful payments, participants are told, the modification is converted to â&#x20AC;&#x153;permanentâ&#x20AC;? status for five or more years. As instructed by Wells Fargo, Linda Coombs said, she began paying $233 a month in September. That continued for three months, she said, until Wells Fargo sent a notice saying the family owed more than $3,000 in back payments. Coombs said Wells Fargo told her to ignore the notice because it was automatically generated by computer and had no bearing on the loan modification. Coombs said the notice made her uncomfortable, so she returned to making the original $766 mortgage payment. Mortgage statements supplied by Coombs support her claims. Afterward, Coombs said, she repeatedly called Wells Fargo to check on whether the loan modification had become permanent. Each time, she said, she was assured that the final modification would be approved soon. When a letter arrived saying Wells Fargo had started foreclosure proceedings, Coombs said, she was again told she had nothing to worry about because the letter was automatically generated to warn customers who might be in arrears.

Cancer Continued from Page 1A

After several months of treatment, doctors told Adcock she was cancer-free, at least for the moment. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still cancer-free today. And her hair is back in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Angelsâ&#x20AC;? mode. Adcock was just one of many cancer survivors kicking up her heels this weekend for the American Cancer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lee County Relay for Life, an annual fundraiser for cancer prevention and treatment. According to Adcock, the popular fundraiser began the year she was diagnosed with cancer, and she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missed an event since. Today, Adcock is a nurse at Central Carolina Hospital in Sanford and she contributes her time to reach out to others facing the disease. When she was diagnosed though, Adcock was a single mother of two, just a few credit hours away from completing a degree in accounting. She remembers waking up one day in January 1994 with a pain on her chest. On Saturday, she found a spot about the size of a pea. By Sunday, that spot had grown to a mound. Doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; suspicions were correct. Adcock was suffering from cancer. She would need a masectomy and months of painful radiation treatment. She still vividly recalls getting the news from her doctor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first thing I said was, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, what do we do now?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first thought was, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Go ahead and take both (breasts). Just get rid of it. Do whatever you have to do. Take anything you have to take. Just get rid of it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Doctors ended up removing one of Adcockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Luminaries, one for each survivor or victiim registered with Relay for Life of Lee County, light the way Friday night. breasts and starting her on an achingly aggressive regime of chemotherapy. The treatment is known for killing bad cancer cells, but wreaking the same havoc on the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good cells too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a whirlwind,â&#x20AC;? Adcock said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have time to sit back and dwell on it.â&#x20AC;? Most heartbreaking for Adcock was that she was forced to quit school, at least for a time, while she battled the disease. One of her favorite sports, bowling, became increasingly difficult for Adcock as she weakened. And then there were her children, who needed to be reassured that the illness facing their mother was not an automatic death sentence. Weeks later, there was the wig, that awful, uncomfortable, too hot brown wig. Adcock admits she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let anyone see her head, which she described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;slick as an onion.â&#x20AC;?

Her only gaffe came during one of her morning rituals, retrieving the Sanford Herald from the front yard. Adcock stepped outside and was just feet away from the paper when she felt a cold breeze on her scalp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ran back inside covering my head,â&#x20AC;? she said with a laugh. She returned to school to finish her accounting degree after she was declared cancer-free, but opted to study nursing as well after her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. Her mother lost her battle with cancer in 1997, and Adcock decided she wanted to help people. Now Adcock has found her calling caring for sick people in Sanford.

She can bowl again and coif her hair to perfection, and while she admits she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the athlete she once was, hit the streets for some exercise like Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Relay for Life. Adcock is quick to point out a person who has faced cancer once can never feel completely free of the disease again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every unusual ache or pain, you think cancer,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though they tell you youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cancer-free, you never truly feel like you are. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always in the back of your mind.â&#x20AC;? But if the illness or any other pitfalls ever strike Adcock again, you get the sense sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready for it. After all, she has her secret weapon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to have some humor about it,â&#x20AC;? she said.

sengers involved

‘HE WAS SUCH A GREAT KID’ News of Britt’s death traveled quickly on the social networking site, facebook.com, early Saturday as friends and family began writing condolences on the popular student-athlete’s page. A memorial page had more than 300 members as of Saturday night. Lee County High School will have counselors on campus Monday to help students cope with the loss. Principal Greg Batten said he remembered Britt as “good student” who was very involved and who “brightened up a room when he walked in.” “Obviously, this is a tough situation for everybody,” he said. “He was very popular in both the school and the community. He was in almost every extracurricular activity. Something like this reminds everyone of how fragile life is ... especially teenagers.” Britt was a member of the LCHS Yellow Jackets football team in 2009 and ran track as well.

The Sanford Herald / Sunday, May 16, 2010 / 5A Paxton-Patterson’s version of a showcase and training site, and 100125 teachers and school leaders will travel to Lee County each year to experience the PaxtonPatterson labs. The House is expected to vote on the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act (H.R. 5116) this week. The bill, which was introduced by Rep. Bart Gordon (DTN), authorizes science and technology research programs for five years and contains a number of provisions to support education and training

in science, technology, engineering, and math. Originally enacted in 2007, the reauthorization bill includes a number of provisions to improve STEM education nationwide. In addition to providing for scholarships and stipends to recruit math and science teachers, the bill creates a new grant program for colleges and universities to improve undergraduate STEM education and creates a new director of STEM education within the Department of Energy.

Womack recalled Britt stopping in the training room almost daily to “just check in and speak to everyone.” “He was the kind of kid who never met a stranger,” Womack said. “He was a such a great kid. It’s such a tragedy, and I feel so sorry for his family.” Britt was born in Pinehurst to Jeff Britt and Jill Schuchard Britt. An avid sports fan, Britt played softball on the New Hope Baptist Church team when not in school. Friend Paige Yarborough, a junior at cross-town high school Southern Lee, said her friend was “hilarious,” and “knew exactly how to make you smile.” “He will never be forgotten,” Yarborough said, “and he will truly be missed. I was blessed to know him.” Friend Allie Lilley said Britt was “a bundle of excitement.” “He was full of life and knew how to have a good time,” she said. “He was a great friend for the little time I knew him.” In addition to his parents, Britt is survived by two brothers, Noah and Jake; and one sister, Madison. Funeral services will be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday at New Hope Baptist Church, and

the family will receive friends following the service. Burial will follow at 11 a.m. Thursday at Ashley Heights Baptist Church in Aberdeen. The family is asking that in lieu of flowers, memorials are made to the Lee County High School Booster Club in memory of Britt.

TWO TRAGEDIES According to a report, police suspect Boswell was under the influence of drugs or alcohol during the accident, and they hope an investigation will reveal why the 48-year-old Alabama native was stopped in the middle of the highway with no lights on. According to Boswell’s father, Rick, Anthony was the oldest of four children. After his parents divorced, Anthony Boswell moved to Pinehurst with his mother in 1972. According to Rick Boswell, Anthony’s mother died “a few months ago.” Anthony, who was working for a friend’s swimming pool company, leaves behind a wife and a son.

Taking DNA at arrest will help fight crime From News and Record, Greensboro

Their View Issue: A state measure to take DNA samples from suspects at the time of arrest

Our stance: The General Assembly would be wise to look for the money to get this initiative going

When people get arrested, the police snap on the cuffs and read them their rights. They cart them off to jail, where they take a mug shot and a copy of their fingerprints. Soon, police might add something else to the routine: the collection of a DNA sample. N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper was pushing a measure a year ago to get DNA from felony suspects at the time they are arrested. Gov. Bev Perdue agrees, and on Tuesday at GTCC outlined a budget proposal to do just that. Even President Barack Obama thinks it’s time to build a national DNA data-

base to help law enforcement. In North Carolina, the General Assembly would be wise to look for the money to get this initiative going. DNA is the 21st century version of the fingerprint, which revolutionized crime fighting more than a century ago. Like fingerprints, a person’s DNA is unique. When detectives can’t find fingerprint evidence, a DNA sample from blood, saliva or semen can make all the difference in identifying both suspects and victims and, on occasion, freeing innocent persons. Nearly every state, including North Carolina, takes DNA samples from convicted felons. But by adding samples from

everyone who’s arrested on a felony charge -- something that the FBI and about 20 states already do -- police will be able to cast a much wider investigative net. This could help them solve cases more quickly and even link suspects to unsolved crimes. The State Bureau of Investigation says it could solve up to 100 cold cases in a year if it had access to more DNA samples. That’s an impressive number. The state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union says the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition against unreasonable searches should apply to DNA collection, especially when people have not been convicted of any crime. But using a cot-

ton swab to collect saliva from someone’s mouth is no more invasive than using ink and cardboard to collect their fingerprints. The unique value of DNA to criminal investigations outweighs any privacy concerns here. Money, of course, will be the issue. The governor’s budget ask for $700,000 to hire a forensic specialist and provide statewide training on proper handling of DNA samples. It’s a worthy priority, even in this tight budget year. DNA is a powerful tool to fight and solve crime. Law enforcement in North Carolina would be better served with a broader DNA database.

To the Editor:

RE: LEE EARLY COLLEGE GRADUATES 7 ‘PIONEERS’ The statistics on how the class did will not be in until next year. These ambitious seven students completed their four years of high school and two years of college in four years. They were given an opportunity to excel and that is exactly what they did. They took advantage of the chance they were given and ran with the program. They started in 2006 and completed in 2010 which is four years. Of course, as we can see, the current school board does not like AIG programs or a way to allow students to rise above others. No kid left behind means no kid is allowed to get in front of the others. So I guess Lee Early College will be cut out next year.

— charlesstaley Nice story, but where are the numbers that would support keeping this idea alive? How many students entered the program the first year? What, if at all, is the drop out rate? Did all teachers and administrators stay with the program and if not who didn’t, why and when did they leave? Ultimately what was the cost to graduate these seven? If this program saves a parent the expense of two years of college because it is cheaper, then every parent would want to know.

— alan061977 RE: MOTHER’S DAY TRIBUTE TO 98-YEAR-OLD WOMAN A lovely tribute to Mrs. Wilson ... thanks for sharing. If my mom were living, she would be about Mrs. Wilson’s age. Even thought their circumstances were different, i still remember some of the WWII conversations as a child. And, I recall my mother’s fears and anxiety when my two older brothers were on a naval ship in the Pacific during the Korean war. WWII was just to fresh in memory for her to be assured of safety for her sons. The first half of the 20th century was difficult for millions of families in so many ways.

I drove all the way home, opened up that mouth-watering box and found a healthy whole wheat bun, the little bit of mayo and lettuce and no chicken. A hamburger pattery ... but no chicken. One can understand maybe not getting enough special sauce on the bun or maybe pickles when you asked for them to be left off ... but a grilled chicken breast and a hamburger patty do not even look them same if the lights are off.

Tiger balm for that? Well, I see that the anointed one (no, not Obama) had to withdraw on the last day of a major PGA golf tournament due to a “pain in the neck.” Guess too much extracurricular “activity” will make that happen. As far as I am concerned he is a pain and should go back to the clinic in Mississippi and get it worked out. And can someone please tell me how he is still, until this week, the No. 1 golfer? Wonder if he would like a little cheese with that whine.

Is it profiling or probable cause? What is with this immigration profiling? Is it not called probable cause? We who were born here can be stopped and questioned for probable cause. If you don’t have anything to hide, there will be no problem. So, perhaps these illegal immigrants should go back where they came from and come back legally.

Supreme choice

Gender & geography

lena Kagan is not a surprising choice for the United States Supreme Court, but she is a very smart and deserving one. She is smart and honorable, a woman of character and integrity. And perhaps most important of all, in these times, she will be very hard to oppose. I have to laugh when I hear conservatives complain that she is not qualified to serve on the court. The former dean of Harvard Law School? The current solicitor general of the United States? Sorry, my friends, but that dog don’t hunt. Then there’s the argument that she’s too liberal, the “judicial activist” routine. A judicial activist, I’ve come to conclude, is someone who goes out on the line to disagree with you. Liberals think defenders of the Second Amendment are judicial activists. Conservatives think the same of defenders of the First Amendment. The truth is, you can’t interpret the Constitution without being an activist. You’d have nothing to say. Pretending that the words of the First Amendment tell you whether images of dogs being crushed can be sold online, or that the words of the Second Amendment tell you how far a state can go in limiting the possession of certain weapons, is just plain absurd. It’s what nominees say when they’re going through the modern charade called confirmation hearings. But no serious legal scholar, liberal or conservative, thinks that all a justice has to do is call balls and strikes. That’s just what the smart ones say to get confirmed. If Judge Bork had been equally disingenuous, he’d be Justice Bork. Fool me once... As for where Kagan actually stands on the ideological spectrum, my guess is that she’s not as far left as liberals would like and not as far right as conservatives would hope — which is to say she’s highly confirmable. In the rarified world of legal academia, she’d almost certainly be counted as a moderate, not even close to a “lefty.” (But that may be scant comfort, because the same is true of me.) Her academic writings have been careful, not controversial. Her tenure as dean of Harvard Law School was marked by broadly shared good will, not radical change, and great success in fundraising. In the solicitor general’s office, she has been a very effective advocate, a great boss and a popular presence. The court treats her with great respect. She gets along with liberals and conservatives alike. She is a great favorite on the Judicial Conference circuit, the get-togethers of federal judges around the country. How do you beat a woman like her? You don’t. Some will probably argue that in picking Kagan, the president made a safe choice, and I think that is certainly true. But he also made a very good choice. Kagan’s experience in the Clinton White House and at Harvard Law School (once known as the Beirut of legal education, in the days when Beirut was more like Baghdad) helped her develop a set of skills that is almost as important in a Supreme Court justice as legal brilliance. She is a consensus-builder. She is a team player. She is ideally suited to succeed in an institution where five votes matter, not one. When Justice Stevens, whom she will replace, first joined the court, he was known for his dissents. They were brilliant dissents, but they were, very often, lonely ones. I remember, clerking for him in the early years, telling him how this or that justice worked the halls or the phones to put together their majorities. It was not his instinct, in those early years, to do that kind of politics. He wanted reason, argument and logic to carry the day. He had lunch every day with his law clerks, which was wonderful for us, but not a vote getter. I think Kagan will be a very popular justice. I think she will be one of those who walks the halls, works the phones, does lunch and dinner. I think she will be a leader of the court for years to come. She happens to be, on a personal level, a lovely woman. I could not be more pleased for her, or more appreciative to the president.

Pro-rich or pro-poor

istening to America’s liberals, who now prefer to call themselves progressives, one would think that free markets benefit the rich and harm the poor, but little can be further from the truth. First, let’s first say what free markets are. Free markets, or laissez-faire capitalism, refer to an economic system where there is no government interference except to outlaw and prosecute fraud and coercion. It ought to be apparent that our economy cannot be described as free market because there is extensive government interference. We have what might be called a mixed economy, one with both free market and socialistic attributes. If one is poor or of modest means, where does he fare better: in the freer and more open sector of our economy or in the controlled and highly regulated sector? Let’s look at it. Did Carnegie, Mellon, Rockefeller and Guggenheim start out rich? Andrew Carnegie worked as a bobbin boy, changing spools of thread in a cotton mill 12 hours a day, six days a week, earning $1.20 a week. A young John D. Rockefeller worked as a clerk. Meyer Guggenheim started out as a peddler. Andrew Mellon did have a leg up; his father was a lawyer and banker. Sam Walton milked the family’s cows, bottled the milk and delivered it and newspapers to customers. Richard Sears was a railroad station agent. Alvah Roebuck began work as a watchmaker. Together, they founded Sears, Roebuck and Company in 1893. John Cash Penney (founder of JCPenny department stores) worked for a local dry goods merchant. It wasn’t just whites who went from rags to riches through open markets; there were a few blacks. Madam C.J. Walker, born Sarah Breedlove, just two years after the end of slavery, managed to build an empire from developing and selling hair products. John H. Johnson founded Johnson Publishing Company, which became an international media and cosmetics empire. There are many modern-day black millionaires who, like other millionaires, black and white, found the route to their fortunes mostly through the open, highly competitive and more free market end of our economy. Restricted, regulated and monopolized markets are especially handicapping to people who are seen as less preferred, latecomers and people with little political

clout. For example, owning and operating a taxi is one way out of poverty. It takes little skills and capital. But in most cities, one has to purchase a license costing tens of thousands of dollars. New York City’s taxicab licensing law is particularly egregious, requiring a person, as of May 2007, to pay $600,000 for a license to own and operate one taxicab. Business licensing laws are not racially discriminatory as such, but they have a racially discriminatory effect. The Davis-Bacon Act of 1931, still on the books today, had a racially discriminatory intent and has a racially discriminatory effect. The Davis-Bacon Act is a federal law that mandates “prevailing wages” be paid on all federally financed or assisted construction projects and as such discriminates against non-unionized black construction contractors and black workers. During the 1931 legislative debate, quite a few congressmen expressed racist motives in their testimony in support of the law, such as Rep. Clayton Allgood, D-Ala., who said, “Reference has been made to a contractor from Alabama who went to New York with bootleg labor. This is a fact. That contractor has cheap colored labor that he transports, and he puts them in cabins, and it is labor of that sort that is in competition with white labor throughout the country.” Today’s supporters of the Davis-Bacon Act use different rhetoric, but its racially discriminatory effects are the same. The market is a friend in another unappreciated way. In poor black neighborhoods, one might see some nice clothing, some nice food, some nice cars but no nice schools. Why not at least some nice schools? Clothing, food and cars are distributed by the market mechanism while schools are distributed by the political mechanism.

It is also my anchorage, my port of call.” Those 13 words imprinted on my brain when I first read them years ago and have stuck with me. Somewhat oddly, they came to mind a few days ago upon the nomination of Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court. Much has been made of Kagan’s career path and her professional trailblazing. Despite a lack of any judicial experience, she is the first of her sex in two previously male-dominated domains — first female dean of Harvard Law School and first female U.S. solicitor general. No small accomplishments. But though we are what we do, what we do is not all of what we are. We are also products of place. Where we grew up and how we experienced the physical environment of our formation are also a part of who we are. What is Kagan’s geography? What is her anchorage, her port of call? Coincidentally, she shares the same hometown as the other two women on the court. Assuming Kagan is confirmed, all three women will hail from New York City. Kagan grew up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Sonia Sotomayor is from the Bronx, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg is from Brooklyn. If diversity on the court is our goal, we may be missing a region or two. These facts ultimately may be more anecdotally interesting than significant in terms of how a judge might perform. Then again, spending one’s formative years walking past the infamously crime-riddled “Murder Hotel” en route to school, as Kagan did — and, say, walking past the First Baptist Church to ballet class — are not the same cultural marinade. The latter hypothetical is proffered only for the sake of contrast and metaphor. It seems remote to unlikely that a woman whose life has involved Baptist churches and ballet slippers would find herself on a track to today’s Supreme Court, though that ought not to be the case. Women are not of one cloth. ... Both current female justices and Kagan also attended Ivy League schools, not that there’s anything wrong with that. But does a gender-mixed court featuring Kagan, Sotomayor and Ginsburg qualify as a diverse court because they are women? Or do these three represent ideological purity in a lace bib? The jury is still out. President Obama has made clear his desire to nominate justices who are in touch with “ordinary Americans.” He specifically mentioned “empathy” in choosing Sotomayor. Before Kagan’s nomination, Obama said he wanted someone with a “keen understanding of how the law affects the daily lives of the American people.” ... Enter Kagan? Certainly New York City dwellers would argue that they struggle with ordinary concerns, just in a more densely arranged environment. But New York, like other urban areas, tends to be more liberal than the vast rest of the country. More than half the country also happens to be Protestant, yet with Kagan, the court will feature three Jews, six Catholics, and nary a Protestant. ... One does not have to be from a rural Georgia backwater (Clarence Thomas), or the child of recently arrived immigrants (Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito), to qualify as a justice, though it might help in claiming identity with ordinary people. ... But the president adheres to the ordinary-people principle, and so the question must be asked: Does Kagan meet the standard? She may have other qualifications, including her willingness at Harvard to invite conservative scholars to her faculty. But a New York City girl who attended a prep school, Ivy League colleges and law school — who once barred military recruiters from Harvard’s recruitment office and was an adviser to Goldman Sachs — can’t be characterized as anything close to mainstream America. Either Obama may want to tweak his operating narrative — or geography may well be Kagan’s wound.

EASLEY INVESTIGATION

Western peak joins most Grand jury endangered Civil War sites asks to see By STEVE SZKOTAK Associated Press Writer

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Southwestern desert peak where cavalry clashed nearly 150 years ago has joined an annual list of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most endangered Civil War battlefields because state budget cuts are set to close the park that marks the site. Picacho Peak in Arizona, the Western frontier in the battle between the North and the South, was named for the first time on the Civil War Preservation Trustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual list of 10 historic battlefields most threatened by development or neglect. The list was released Thursday in Washington, D.C. In addition to Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gettysburg and the Wilderness Battlefield in Virginia, the list includes some memorable battles waged in states where the Civil War still resonates on the eve of its 150th anniversary. They are located primarily in the South and the Mid-Atlantic. For sheer distance, Picacho Peak stands apart from the rest. The state park is slated to close June 3 because of budget cuts. On April 12, 1862, Lt. James Barrett led a detachment of Union cavalry to the rocky spire 50 miles northwest of Tucson and skirmished with Confederate Rangers, intent on blunting an ocean-to-ocean Confederacy.

Tatum all live in Fayetteville and have invested in LEA. Tippett serves on the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors with Rand. Rand couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately be reached for comment Friday. Nor could Tippett, a certified public accountant, nor Tatum, a Fayetteville State University official. The DMV purchased surveillance equipment from LEA through no-bid contracts while Tatum was in charge of the division. Rand has been sued by two former LEA executives for allegedly firing them for cooperating with another federal investigation. Rand, who was Senate majority leader until last year, has denied the allegations. The two former executives claim that more than a dozen prominent state politicians, including Easley and Gov. Bev Perdue, also invested in LEA, which is publicly traded. Rand became LEA chairman after former state Sen. John Carrington pleaded guilty in 2005 to illegally exporting police equipment to China. The former LEA executives said they were cooperating with a new federal probe into whether Carrington, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founder, violated his plea agreement. The subpoena, received at DOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices May 5, orders department officials to produce the requested records for grand jury sessions set to begin Wednesday in Raleigh.

MOUNT OLIVE COLLEGE

WAKE COUNTY

Husband, wife graduate together

Judge gives green-light to neighborhood schools

By CATHARIN SHEPARD News-Argus of Goldsboro

MOUNT OLIVE (AP) — Justin and Juli Balch have already shared some big moments together in their first year of marriage, and last weekend the couple marked another special occasion as they both graduated from Mount Olive College. The couple met at a bible study group while Justin Balch was stationed at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. Juli, the daughter of a missionary minister from Georgia, and Balch, a California native, dated through their years in the Mount Olive College psychology program and continued pursuing their bachelor’s degrees after marrying in June 2009. Balch always wanted to earn a college degree, and joined the Air Force in part because of the service’s college benefits. After leaving active duty and going into the reserves, he spent several years working with a Goldsboroarea ministry before deciding to turn his full attention to getting a degree at the Mount Olive-based college’s Seymour Johnson satellite location. Balch, who also attended the college’s satellite campus, said that it was challenging for her to return to college after

taking a few years off. Starting a life together with her husband in the middle of working full-time and going to school to earn her bachelor’s degree took careful prioritizing. “It was pretty difficult to juggle life, school, and work in the beginning. Just about the time I started to get into the swing of things, Justin and I got married and we had to relearn how to manage our time,” she said. As psychology majors, the couple took many of the same classes together while going through the program. They had the chance to work on projects together, study together and support each other. Balch went into the reserves after serving four years as an active duty airman, and Balch was working full-time while going to school. It was a big adjustment for both of them, but the challenges helped to make them stronger. “That gave us an opportunity not only to learn together but to grow closer together,” Balch said. They both would not hesitate to tell other non-traditional students thinking of continuing their education to jump in with gusto. “Education opens doors and provides opportunity which otherwise may never present itself. Sacrifice a little

now to reap big rewards later,” he said. And the experience of struggling through so many major life changes in such a short time has, in a way, helped the couple grow closer together as they completed college. “Over the course of the past three years we have been able to learn together, grow together, and truly become best friends. Sharing my education with Justin has made the whole experience richer and has benefited us both,” Balch said. The Balchs are in the process of relocating to Colorado to attend graduate school, and they both hope to use their degrees to combine their expertise and their faith into a powerful tool to help others. “We are so excited about the next phase of our lives. Our hope is to one day partner in ministry helping people with marriage, family and life,” Balch said. And although they will miss their friends, family and time spent at Mount Olive College, they are ready for whatever comes next. “You go to school to get trained and qualified and the next phase is to go out there and do it. We’re excited about what God has in store for us,” Balch said.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s largest school district is set to give final approval next week to a plan to end its busing for diversity program after a judge dismissed a lawsuit seeking to block the move. Judge Bill Pittman said in his ruling Friday that the Wake County school board was taking reasonable measures to accommodate the large crowds that have been at its meetings concerning the change in attendance policy. Opponents of sending children to school based primarily on where they live had challenged the board’s move, saying public participation at meetings was limited by the size of the meeting space. “The board has taken actions that clearly have the intention and effect of curtailing public attendance,” said Swain Wood, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs in the case. To ease the growing crowds at meetings, the school system began requiring people to have tickets to get seats in the board room starting with the March 23 meeting. School officials said that move was a fire safety precaution. To compensate, school officials expanded time for public comment and meetings were shown live on video screens in overflow rooms.

“The statute is not designed to vest rights in every individual to be in the room to watch the proceedings,” said attorney Kieran Shanahan, who represented the school board in the lawsuit. Wood said it is unlikely that his clients would appeal Friday’s ruling. “It was a frivolous lawsuit and truly not about the Open Meetings Law,” school board chairman Ron Margiotta said. “We are bending over backwards to accommodate the public.” Margiotta said there are no plans to move Tuesday’s meeting, where the board is expected to give final approval to removing all references to socio-economic diversity in favor of making students’ living close to school a priority. Other groups, including the North Carolina branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, have threatened to sue to stop the policy change. NAACP leaders have said they think the switch to neighborhood attendance will lead to resegregation of Raleigh-area schools based on race. The state NAACP is planning a rally Monday night at Martin Street Baptist Church in Raleigh. ———

STATE BRIEFS

Man who killed four in 1988 will be released

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina judge ordered the release of a man who spent 20 years in a mental institution after being found not guilty by reason of insanity of killing four people and wounding five others in 1988. Judge Steve Balog ruled Friday that Michael Hayes can be released with conditions, the Winston-Salem Journal reported. A case worker has to certify that Hayes can meet those conditions before he will be released. It is unclear how long that will take. Hayes has been held at Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh since 1989. During a two-day hearing last week, seven psychologists and psy-

chiatrists testified Hayes is not dangerous and no longer suffers from a personality disorder. Family members of Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; victims say they think he should remain in custody. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been punished for what he did,â&#x20AC;? said Linda Cantrell, who lost her 16-year-old daughter, Crystal, in the shooting spree. Hayes has said he thought he was killing demons in human bodies when he shot his victims at a rural crossroads. Doctors have said he suffered a psychotic break brought on by drug and alcohol abuse. As a condition of his release, Hayes must submit to random drug testing and searches and must attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

He also cannot own any guns or ammunition and is barred from traveling to Forsyth County where the shootings took place or out of the state. Over the years, Hayes has been granted privileges that allow him to spend much of his time away from Dix. He works 40 to 60 hours a week as an assistant manager at a convenience store and has unsupervised visits with his girlfriend and their two children. The judge ordered that Hayes must stay employed to remain free and he must go to counseling for his relationship with his girlfriend. Balog will review Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; case after a year to make sure he has met the conditions of his release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Years ago, I said it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a question of whether Michael was going to be released. It was a question of when,â&#x20AC;? said Karl Knudsen, Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; longtime attorney.

The Lee County Board of Education is accepting applications for appointment to the Central Carolina Community College Board of Trustees (one position available with term ending June 30, 2014). Applications are available on-line at www.lee.k12.nc.us or by contacting Susan Britt, Clerk to the Board at 774-6226. The deadline for applications is Monday, May 24, 2010, at 5 pm.

Rare sea turtle washes up dead on beach NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH, (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A wildlife expert says a rare sea turtle that was found tied up and dead on a North Carolina beach may have been intentionally dragged behind a boat. The StarNews of Wilmington reported that the Kempâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ridley sea turtle washed ashore Friday. Sea turtle rescue center executive director Jean Beasley said the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flippers were tied together with twine or rope, and a piece of twine trailed away from the flippers as if the turtle had been dragged or towed by a boat. Her center â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is offering a reward for information about the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death.

Asheville police spokeswoman Melissa Williams told the Asheville Citizen-Times on Friday that investigators learned of the message by checking the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cell phone. 16-year-old Ashley Johnson of Arden died Tuesday at a local hospital one day after the wreck. She was a 10th-grader at Buncombe County Early College. Investigators also said Ashleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car was going 52 miles an hour in a 45 mph zone. The driver of the pickup truck Johnson hit had injuries that were not life-threatening. Officials said no one will be charged in the wreck.

NATION BRIEFS BP expects Gulf oil siphon to work after setback

ROBERT, La. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; BP expected a mile-long tube to start siphoning oil from its blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico by Saturday night after a setback. If successful, the deepsea experiment would reduce but not end a spill thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spewed millions of gallons of crude into the ocean. Technicians have been working since early Friday to insert the tube into an oil pipe a mile beneath the surface using robotic submarines. The tube is intended to suck oil up like a straw to a tanker on the surface, while a stopper surrounding it would keep crude from leaking into the sea. Even if it works, a smaller leak that has been estimated to be contributing one-fifth of the spill would remain. On Friday night, the company pulled the insertion tube back to the surface to readjust its connection to a tanker intended to collect oil at the surface, said Doug Suttles, BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief operating officer. The company was working again to insert it and expects to be pumping at least some of the oil to the surface by Saturday night. Other efforts to fight the spill continued above and below the surface. BP also began spraying chemical dispersants Saturday beneath the sea, a contentious development because it has never been done underwater. Federal regulators had a day earlier approved the underwater use of the chemicals, which act like a detergent to break the oil into small globules and allows it to disperse more quickly into the water or air before it comes ashore.

Episcopal church in LA to ordain 2nd gay bishop

Astronauts forced into shorter survey By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer

LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Seven years after the Episcopal Church caused an uproar by consecrating its first openly gay bishop, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set to do the same thing again â&#x20AC;&#x201D; only this time with a woman. The Rev. Canon Mary Glasspool, of Baltimore, will be ordained and consecrated on Saturday, making her the second openly gay bishop in church history and one of the first two female bishops in the Diocese of Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 114-year history. The Rev. Canon Diane M. Jardine Bruce, of San Clemente, Calif., will also be ordained Saturday. The Episcopal Church, which is the Anglican body in the United States, caused turmoil in the church in 2003 by consecrating the first openly gay bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire.

Synagogue buys Pa. swim club accused of racism PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Philadelphia synagogue that bought a suburban swim club accused of racial discrimination last year says it plans for its 2,000-plus members to use the property. The Congregation Beth Solomon bought the Huntingdon Valley-based Valley Club for $1.46 million at a bankruptcy auction on Thursday. The club filed for bankruptcy in November following discrimination lawsuits and a critical state report. Last summer, the club revoked the memberships of 56 mostly black and Hispanic day campers, saying there were too many children and that many couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t swim.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A snagged cable forced Atlantisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; astronauts to resort to a more inconvenient and less comprehensive method of inspecting their space shuttle Saturday as they sped toward a weekend rendezvous with the International Space Station. Mission Control, meanwhile, was monitoring a piece of space junk that was threatening to come too close to the space station. The debris was projected to pass within six miles of the complex Sunday morning, shortly after the shuttleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheduled arrival. Flight director Mike Sarafin said the estimated gap was right at the allowable limit, and noted that even a small error in determining the location and timing of the junk could have dire consequences. Experts did not know how big the object was or where it originated. Flight controllers were

Space Shuttle Atlantis lifts-off from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Fla. going to decide Saturday evening whether to move the space station into a slightly lower orbit. Even if the station has to dodge out of the way, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t delay Sunday morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheduled docking by Atlantis. The condensed safety survey of Atlantis also will not interfere with the docking, Sarafin said. The inspection is a standard â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and essential â&#x20AC;&#x201D; procedure the day after liftoff. A 100-foot boom is used to survey the heat

shield on both wings and the nose in a hunt for launch damage. On Saturday morning, however, the astronauts could not tilt the bundle of laser sensors and TV camera on the end of the pole. It turns out a cable was pinched by the camera at the end of the boom. The astronauts didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they could free it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh come on, man, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got faith in you,â&#x20AC;? Mission Control said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t crack the whip with a little centrifugal acceleration?â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Need to pull some G,â&#x20AC;? replied commander Kenneth Ham, referring to gravity forces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spin her up,â&#x20AC;? joked Mission Control. The six astronauts used cameras and binoculars to beam down close-up pictures. The cable was dented where it was being squished, Ham reported. Finally, after several hours, Mission Control had the astronauts use the backup set of lasers and camera hard-mounted to the boom, which left out some potential problem areas. They were limited to the daytime side of Earth because of the digital camera equipment. The crew focused on the most vulnerable areas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the heat shield on the wings and nose. It was unlikely they would get everything they needed from the left wing. Sarafin said he expects to get all the necessary images one way or another, either from extra zoom-in photos taken by the space station crew during Atlantisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final approach Sunday or following the linkup.

Attacks lead to racial tension By JULIANA BARBASSA Associated Press Writer

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Mrs. Cheng feels like she’s living under siege in her own home. In January, an 83year-old neighbor, also a Chinese immigrant, was beaten into a coma. Days after he died in March, Mrs. Cheng, 53, was attacked and pushed off a public transit platform, coming to minutes later with front teeth knocked out and her mouth full of blood. Both attacks happened within a block of her house. Now Mrs. Cheng avoids going out, gets rides to work, and keeps her two daughters close to home. She doesn’t want to be identified for fear of retaliation, but she doesn’t want too much to be made of what happened to her, either. She repeatedly said through a translator that she just wants everyone to live in peace. Still, such attacks and the death of a Chinese immigrant from San Francisco who was assaulted during a visit to Oakland have focused the anger of Asian-Americans here, pushing them to vent in emotional rallies their long-simmering perception that they are targets of racially mo-

A women holds up a sign showing actors Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker at a rally at City Hall in San Francisco. Two highly publicized attacks by black youth that led to the death of two elderly Chinese-Americans have tapped into an undercurrent of long-simmering anger in the San Francisco Bay Area’s Asian community. tivated violence. In all cases, the perpetrators were black teenagers, police said. “This just sent them over the top. This is an activist city, but this isn’t an activist population at all,” said Chia-Chi Li, one of the organizers of a rally that drew hundreds of mostly older ChineseAmericans to the steps of San Francisco City Hall bearing signs saying, “Asians are not punching bags,” and “Stop attacking the elders and the vulnerable.” In this bastion of diversity and tolerance, the tension between two of its minorities has become painful. Although both groups have suffered discrimina-

tion over the decades, the African-American community has been declining here faster than in any other major city, while the Asian-American community has been growing, partly due to immigration. Now almost one in three San Franciscans is of Asian descent, and many have moved into affordable, historically black neighborhoods. Street violence in these neighborhoods is not new, say people in the black community. They’ve suffered it for years. It just never drew much attention, they said. But seeing this violence serve as a wedge dividing two ethnic minori-

ties that have much more to gain from working together is particularly hard, said Supervisor Sophie Maxwell, who represents the district where Mrs. Cheng lives. “It is so sad — in a wealthy city, in this city of St. Francis that harbors everyone, to see that our children are in such distress, our communities are in such distress,” said Maxwell, who is AfricanAmerican. Maxwell emphasized race was not a factor in the attacks — the problem was the violence inflicted on a neighborhood. “These kids need help. They are perpetrating violence against all of us,” she said. “How are we going to protect each other and be responsible for each other?” Police Chief George Gascon has played down the role of race in the attacks, and pointed to statistics to show Asian Americans are not disproportionately targeted in street crimes in San Francisco. Asian Americans make up 30 percent of the city’s population, and account for 19 percent of the victims, Gason said. African Americans are 7 percent of the population, but make up 21 percent of victims.

Obama honors law officers killed in line of duty WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama paid tribute Saturday on behalf of a grateful nation to law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice while safeguarding their communities. Americans “rely on a certain order in our lives, a certain sense of security that lets us sleep safely in our beds and walk around our neighborhoods free from fear and go about our daily lives without being the victims of crime. That sense of security doesn’t come on its own,” he said in brief remarks on the west front lawn of the Capitol during Peace Officers Memorial Day, which honors officers killed in the line of duty. “What makes it possible, what makes freedom possible, are the law enforcement officials that we honor today,” he said. The event is part of National Police Week, an annual tribute to law enforcement service and sacrifice. The president said he was proud of law enforcement officials who chose their careers out of a sense of calling to serve their neighbors, neighborhoods and “to live a life in service of others.” “It’s a calling that carriers immense risk,” he added, citing the uncertainty of what that next duty call might bring. “Every day in America, families go about their lives” — work at the office, dropping kids at school,

said Obama, who was joined at the event by Attorney General Eric Holder. “We often take it for granted, this cycle of life.” But, he added, “chance can change everything overnight.”

Obama’s advice to grads: Don’t believe the cynics

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has some advice for graduates who are about to embark on the next chapter of their lives. He says young people are growing up during a time of “great challenge” and “sweeping change” — and that the voices of cynicism and pessimism seem the loudest on television and in newspapers and blogs. Writing in “Parade” magazine, the president says: “Don’t believe them.” He says Americans have a proud history of persevering through difficult times. Obama carries his commencement message next Saturday to graduates of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. In June he speaks at a high school in Kalamazoo, Mich. He’s also given commencement speeches at the University of Michigan and Virginia’s Hampton University.

Police: Sheriff’s deputy in WA shoots in-laws GIG HARBOR, Wash. (AP) — A sheriff’s deputy accused of fatally shooting his wife’s parents was found dead in his Gig Harbor, Wash., home early Saturday, after an hourslong standoff with police, authorities said. SWAT team members reported that 49-year-old Pierce County Deputy Allen Myron was dead when they entered the house more than six hours after the standoff began, Tacoma police Detective Gretchen Aguirre told The Associated Press. The SWAT team surrounding the house heard a single gunshot around 10 p.m. Friday, but did not enter the house at that time, Aguirre said. Myron’s body was discovered shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday. Aguirre said she didn’t know how Myron died. Two of Myron’s children had been trapped in the house but managed to escape during the early part of the siege. Myron’s wife was not present during the shooting, Aguirre said.

Poll: Only a third want own lawmakers back WASHINGTON (AP) — People want Democrats to control Congress after this fall’s elections, a shift from April, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll released Saturday. But the margin is thin and there’s a flashing yellow light for incumbents of both parties: Only about one-third want their own lawmakers reelected. The tenuous 45 percent to 40 percent preference for a Democratic Congress reverses the finding a month ago on the same question: 44 percent for Republicans and 41 percent for Democrats. The new readout came as the economy continued showing signs of improvement and the tumultuous battle over the health care law that President Barack Obama finally signed in March faded into the background. “To the extent that Democrats can focus on job creation rather than health care, they tend to do better,” said Jack Pitney, a political scientist at California’s Claremont McKenna College.

Joining up with a coterie of volunteer signoras who everyday answer a legion of similar lovelorns, Sophieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belated response to Claireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weathered missive inspires â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in ridiculously rapid fashion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the now-septuagenarian widow and her peevish, hunky grandson, Charlie (Matt Damon clone Chris Egan), to hop a flight and trot off to Tuscany in

Frankly, anyone with a minimal level of cognition can surmise the remainder of this filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plotline based solely on the preceding two sentences. That realization sets in early for the viewer, making all the obligatory tropes of

vineyards, rugged men on horseback, and a wedding-scene denouement that much more arduous to endure. Adding insult to inanity is the utter waste of Bernal in the de rigueur role of the boyfriend so goofily self-centered â&#x20AC;&#x201D; why did Sophie agree to marry him in first place? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it justifies her eventual wayward eye.

As it is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letter to Julietâ&#x20AC;? sours quickly, and the only place it is destined for is the wasteland of the Lifetime Movie Network.

Since television was born, TV shows have been set in New York City. From â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Honeymoonersâ&#x20AC;? all the way to â&#x20AC;&#x153;30 Rock,â&#x20AC;? generations of New Yorkers have grown up seeing their hometown used as a backdrop, or even a central character, in everything from sitcoms and cartoons to edgy dramas. Some shows depict a New York that simply doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist (try and find two struggling Manhattan twentysomethings with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friendsâ&#x20AC;?sized apartment). Others offer a window into a single corner of New York life: Fashion-obsessed women really do sip cocktails in trendy bars, just like on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sex and the City.â&#x20AC;? But most TV fare offers up a mere sliver of New York City. For two decades, until it was canceled Friday, NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Law & Orderâ&#x20AC;? did something different. It showed the world not just one New York but hundreds. We saw wealthy criminals who could afford to get away with

their felonies. We saw immigrant communities, middle-class families and people of all stripes struggling, sometimes stumbling through their day. We saw Manhattan and the far boroughs. We saw New Yorkers who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care enough to report crimes and people who risked their lives to save strangers. Made in New York by people who lived there, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Law & Orderâ&#x20AC;? never trafficked in Gotham cliches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A New York City institution,â&#x20AC;? mayor Michael Bloomberg called the show Friday. He praised producer Dick Wolf for â&#x20AC;&#x153;helping showcase the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depth and versatility.â&#x20AC;? Many New Yorkers would agree. They made room for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Law & Orderâ&#x20AC;? in their lives. And the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique structure, partnering gritty police drama with high-stakes legal scheming, made room for the entire city in return â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and employed a whole lot of its people. If your neighbor or cousin or favorite bartender was an actor, chances are at some point they turned up on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Law & Order.â&#x20AC;? The show hired actors for as many as 700 speaking roles each season; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14,000 roles over its tenure. Lorraine Rodriguez, a theater actress and native New Yorker, grew up watching the show. She earned her Screen Actors Guild card appearing on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sopranos,â&#x20AC;? but â&#x20AC;&#x153;Law & Orderâ&#x20AC;? was always her goal. She auditioned four times for â&#x20AC;&#x153;day playerâ&#x20AC;? roles on the show but had yet to land one when she heard it had been canceled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first thing my dad said when I started acting was, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When are you gonna be on Law & Order?â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rodriguez says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big deal when they call you in.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other shows arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like that,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They brought in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Good Wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to shoot here, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set in Chicago. ... You audition and they say Do you have a Chicago accent?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But with Law & Order, you felt like you can be you if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from New York.â&#x20AC;? Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-running procedural, of course, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first show to feature the NYPD and the lawyers who help them put bad guys behind bars.

SUPREME COURT NOMINATION

‘General Kagan’ holds her own before high court

WASHINGTON (AP) — Six times in the past nine months, Solicitor General Elena Kagan has come to the mahogany lectern in the hushed reverence of the Supreme Court to argue the government’s case before the justices she now hopes to join soon. Her arguments have gone like this: “Well, Mr. Chief Justice, even if you are right, I think that we prevail.” “We don’t actually think that that’s right, Justice Stevens.” “I think, Justice Scalia, it’s wrong.” And so on. The justices have given Kagan an earful, too. “I don’t think you really caught what I suggested,” said John Paul Stevens. “I’m sorry, but that seems rather odd,” said Chief Justice John Roberts. “I don’t understand what you are saying,” said Antonin Scalia.

Supreme Court nominee, Solicitor General Elena Kagan, arrives for a meeting on Capitol Hill as she makes the rounds with Senate leaders and Judiciary Committee members in Washington. And so on. Oral arguments in the Supreme Court are something of a rarified mosh pit. Meticulously prepared lawyers often struggle to get out a few coherent sentences between the interruptions of justices who tend to be supremely confident that they know better. An intimidating setting for any lawyer, the venue was all the more

daunting for Kagan because her courtroom experience before appearing before the justices was exactly nil. Yet “General Kagan,” who skipped the government lawyer’s traditional morning suit with long tails in favor of a standard dark suit, held her own and emerged to declare the experience “a great deal of fun.” Kagan is the first woman to serve

as solicitor general, the government’s top lawyer at the Supreme Court. Kagan won one of the two cases that have been decided thus far, but those results have more to do with the strength of the cases she inherited than her persuasive abilities in a courtroom. “Very few people could do as well as she did with as little experience as she had in that job,” said attorney David Cole, who argued against Kagan on one of her six cases. “One wouldn’t know that she was not a seasoned advocate before the court.” Kagan, who already knew most of the justices, has parried with them on matters of free speech, terrorism, executive power and more, with a style that was surprisingly conversational for someone so inexperienced. She mixed in a largerthan-usual dose of humor and showed herself unafraid to disagree with

her questioners or to admit she didn’t know something. She also was adept at slipping in wellplaced compliments to those doing the grilling, referring to one of Scalia’s past opinions as “brilliant,” and telling Ruth Bader Ginsburg, “You said it better than I did, Justice Ginsburg.” Court watchers are now scouring Kagan’s courtroom transcripts for clues into how she might interact with fellow justices and handle future cases. Lincoln Caplan, author of the “The Tenth Justice: The Solicitor General and the Rule of Law,” said recent accounts of Kagan’s ability to combine humor, respect and responsiveness to the judges in her oral arguments “suggest that if she becomes a justice she’s likely to be effective in developing working relationships with the other justices, and that’s likely to be useful to her and

justices who agree with her on the legal outcome of particular cases.” Caplan cautioned, though, that oral arguments offer only clues — “nothing definitive.” Kagan, who is 5-foot-3, began one case by rather dramatically turning a crank to lower the lectern after the court heard from her much-taller courtroom adversary. She drew some chuckles when she told the justices, “This may take some time.” Justices tend to be a proper bunch, so it’s not clear that they universally appreciate her informal style. Her toughest questioner has been Roberts, an accomplished Supreme Court advocate before he became a judge. He called one of Kagan’s arguments “absolutely startling” and upbraided her when she committed a courtroom no-no, posing a question of her own. She immediately apologized.

Lookin At Lucky wins Preakness BALTIMORE (AP) — Change in jockeys, change in fortune. So it was for trainer Bob Baffert and his Preaknesswinning colt Lookin At Lucky, who stayed out of trouble with Martin Garcia aboard and held off First Dude to win by three quarters of a length Saturday. Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver faded to eighth as the 9-5 favorite in the 12-horse field, squandering a perfect trip and foiling jockey Calvin Borel’s boast of a Triple Crown. “When I asked him, he kind of just folded up. It happens,” said Borel, who didn’t ride the rail this time — his signature trip. Jackson Bend was another head back in third. Lookin At Lucky ran 1 3-16 miles in 1:55.47, giving Baffert his fifth Preakness victory, tying him with D. Wayne Lukas for second all-time. It was the Hall of Famer’s first Triple Crown win since 2002, when War Emblem won at Pimlico. “When they turned for home, he can really finish,” Baffert said. Lucky’s win means yet another year will pass without a Triple Crown champion. Affirmed was the last to sweep the Derby, Preakness and Belmont in 1978. Lookin At Lucky paid $6.80, $4.60 and $3.80 as the 2-1 second choice. First Dude returned $16.60 and $9.20, while Jackson Bend paid $6.60 to show. Baffert made a gutsy

Former Lee County pitcher Daniel Martin was recently contacted by Lee County head coach Charlie Spivey to help throw batting practice before the Yellow Jackets took on Millbrook in the first round of the NCHSAA 4-A playoffs. Martin currently plays for East Carolina’s club baseball team.

Martin still making impact with 2010 Yellow Jackets By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — The Lee County Yellow Jackets are in the second round of the NCHSAA 4-A state baseball tournament for the first time since 2001 and Daniel Martin is a big reason why. Martin, a left-handed pitcher for East Carolina’s club baseball team, was recently contacted by Lee County coach Charlie Spivey to come to a recent practice and throw batting practice with the Yellow Jackets the day before they took on Millbrook in the first round of the playoffs last week. The Yellow Jackets, who faced Millbrook lefty Justin Abbott, won the game 14-4 to get to the second round for the first time since they won their second state championship in a five year span. “I felt proud that they asked me to come in and throw BP,” said

Martin, who graduated from Lee County in 2006. “It was an honor for me to do it. It’s a privilege that they would call me out of all the lefties that came out of Lee Senior.” Spivey’s goal was for his team to see a left-handed curveball in action, so he contacted Martin and asked him to come help. “I wanted our guys to see and visualize a left-handed curveball in practice so they could know what to expect in a game,” said Spivey. “Daniel did a great job and I know that the kids really appreciated it as well. It obviously paid huge dividends for us because we kept hitting the ball.” The Yellow Jackets (12-10), the No. 5 seed out of the Tri-9 Conference, lit up Abbott, a Georgetown signee. Lee County took a 7-0 lead in the second inning and had 13

Jackets draw Raiders in second round ROCKINGHAM — The Richmond County Raiders defeated East Chapel Hill 3-2 to advance to the second round of the NCHSAA 4-A state baseball tournament. The Raiders (17-10) will now host Lee County (12-10) in the second round on Tuesday night in Rockingham. The Raiders scored two quick runs early thanks to a two RBI single from Josh Hilton. “Richmond County is traditionally a good program,” said Lee County coach Charlie Spivey. “They’ve got a good program and nice facilities over there. It’s going to be tough.” Tuesday’s game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. start.

ELON — Emotions were running high for the Southern Lee Cavaliers after their tough defeat on the diamond. Southern Lee baseball coach Matt Burnett, his assistant coaches and all 18 of his varsity players were in tears following a devastating 7-6 loss to Western Alamance in the first round of the NCHSAA 3-A state tournament on Friday night in Elon. The Cavaliers, the No. 4 seed from the Cape Fear Valley Conference, built a 6-1 lead on the Warriors, the top seed in the Midstate Conference, after two innings but were held without a base hit over the final five innings. The Warriors responded with six unanswered runs, which included a walkoff single from Adam Smith which scored Taylor Collins from second in the bottom of the seventh inning to win the game. “We’ve got a lot of ballplayers very upset right now and I’m concerned about them,” said an emotional Burnett after the game. “This team played with a lot of heart. What we lack in talent, we make up for in heart. We took a darn good team and pushed them to the limit. I couldn’t be more proud of this team.” Southern Lee (15-11-1) took a 3-0 lead after the top of the first inning. Runs were scored by Jared Kahegias, A.J. Collazo and Jeffrey Ward. In the bottom of the first, Western Alamance’s Daniel Kennedy had an RBI single which scored Clay Winters to make the score 3-1. In the top of the second, Southern Lee scored three more with runs being scored by Walt Podruchny, A.J. Jackson and Jack Sapp to make the score 6-1. Western Alamance went to the bullpen and brought in Virginia Tech signee Zac Macaneney to take over for starting pitcher Kyler Gregory. Macaneney, a lefty,

ight minutes left. Down by two goals. Against one of the top teams in the state. The odds of the Lee Countybased SASL Lightning’s U-14 soccer team advancing beyond the quarterfinals of the Kepner State Cup weren’t exactly good. Of course, being seeded 17th at the beginning of the three-week, 28-team tournament to go with a No. 23 ranking in the state thanks to a 2-5-2 regular season record wouldn’t have generated much confidence outside of the Lightning’s sideline anyway. So a quarterfinal appearance was something to hold onto. It hadn’t started well, though, this game against rival CASL United White, a Cary-area team the Lightning knows well. Seven minutes in, the Lightning had their two-goal deficit. And even after Derek Cannady connected on a header from an assist from Marc Gamboa in the

NATIONWIDE SERIES

SPORTS SCENE

Busch wins Nationwide race at Dover DOVER, Del. (AP) — Kyle Busch has won the Nationwide Series race at Dover International Speedway on Saturday, a day after he ran out of fuel at the end of the Trucks Series race. Busch won from the pole in a race that needed a green-white checkered finish Saturday. And what a finish. The final laps were marred by wrecks, including one in which Clint Bowyer intentionally hit Denny Hamlin in retaliation for an earlier accident. Bowyer was immediately parked and ordered straight to the NASCAR hauler. The race was red flagged for 11 minutes, 43 seconds with less than 10 laps remaining after an accident

left fluid and debris all over the track. Ryan Newman, Jamie McMurray, Reed Sorenson and Jason Leffler rounded out the top five. “It got exciting for everybody at the end,” Newman said, laughing. Bowyer was rear-ended by Hamlin on one of the late restarts. Bowyer took his car to the pits, but just before the green flagged dropped, he drove into Hamlin and spun the No. 20. Hamlin said his hit on Bowyer was “nothing intentional.” Bowyer could lose points as part of a NASCAR AP photo punishment. Drivers Kyle Busch, right, and Denny Hamlin take the “I hope that they don’t green flag to start the NASCAR Nationwide Series Heluva penalize Clint Bowyer,” Good! 200 auto race on Saturday in Dover, Del. Busch McMurray said. went on to win the race.

4-time champion Johnson looking to end slump in Dover DOVER, Del. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson is in a slump. A big one by his standards. He’s finished two of the last three races in the garage instead of on the track. Johnson hasn’t won in six races and no longer holds the Sprint Cup points lead. Throw in a busted rear axle in the season-opening Daytona 500 and he already has two more DNF’s than he did all of last year. Johnson is suddenly

hearing questions he’s not accustomed to answering. Has Johnson’s luck finally run out? Have other drivers — notably the ones at Joe Gibbs Racing — finally caught up with the four-time defending champ? Ahh, not so fast. For all the issues that have hit Johnson’s No. 48 team this season, he still has three wins and is a lock to qualify for the Chase for the championship. And no

driver dominates those final 10 championship races quite like Johnson and his Hendrick Motorsports crew. Count out that fifth title at your own risk. Still, watching Johnson’s Chevrolet limp toward the garage after getting caught up in wrecks has to have the rest of the field hoping some of that misfortune lingers well into October and November. “We’ve been saying this all along with the 48

car being at the top of its game, this stuff doesn’t last forever,” Johnson said. “The garage area get smarter, teams, drivers, everyone is developing and trying to make their equipment faster and better.” Johnson refuses to blame NASCAR’s earlyseason shift to the spoiler as the reason. Instead, it’s been bad luck and accidents that have some thinking he might finally be vulnerable.

batters come to the plate before Abbott was relieved and replaced with a righty. When Martin was throwing batting practice with the Yellow Jackets, based on what he saw, he knew the team would do well against Abbott and the three-time defending Cap-7 4-A Conference champion Wildcats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was throwing a curve from about 30 or 40 feet out and I was throwing it at about 100 percent,â&#x20AC;? said Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on what I could see in their swings, I knew that the team would do great in that game. They were getting a feel of the ball and were drawing contact. I knew theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be fine.â&#x20AC;?

Goal. Tie game. Overtime comes and goes. Both 10-minute overtime sessions fly by, leaving a trip to the state Final Four to be decided by penalty kicks. The two sides exchange two scores each, but Lightning keeper Olivia Sturdivant got a hand on both of the Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring attempts. Then White misses high, and Castaneda scores, giving the Lightning a 3-2 edge. And Sturdivant stones White. Tyler McCoy scores. Game over.

They will play the Fayetteville Force in the semifinals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a team they lost to 1-0 at home during the season.

Like his players, Spivey was also very appreciative of Martin for coming out and throwing batting practice with his club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you coach for,â&#x20AC;? said Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than wins and losses and winning state championships, you coach to establish lifelong relationships with your players. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m blessed to have such a close relationship with a lot of my former players. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great when your former players still care about the program after theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done playing.â&#x20AC;? Martin was flattered that Spivey and the rest of the Yellow Jacket coaches

thought about him when trying to figure out how to prepare for the Wildcats. The lefty felt like he owed it to his former players after everything theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve helped him with during his career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to know that they still think about former players and that they still care,â&#x20AC;? said Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Spivey and coach McNeill have a huge impact on where I am as a player and this was the least I could do for them after all theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done for me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to know that those guys still care about their former players. That says a lot about them.â&#x20AC;? Martin, who is attending classes at East Carolina this summer, says that if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever a time that Spivey and the Yellow Jackets need some help with batting practice or anything, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a phone call away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anytime they need me to help, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be more than happy to do it,â&#x20AC;? said Martin.

Burnett knew how good Macaneney was coming into the game and was very complimentary of the way he helped the Warriors bounce back from a fiverun deficit. At the same time, Burnett was especially proud of his two pitchers, starter Andrew McNeill and Podruchny, who both got the Cavaliers out of some jams.

decision when he replaced Garrett Gomez with Garcia after Lookin At Lucky finished sixth on a sloppy track as the Derby favorite two weeks ago. At Churchill Downs, the bay colt was compromised by his starting position on the rail. He was immediately checked hard along the

and Kennedy rounded the bases to cut the deficit to just one at 6-5. Over the next two innings, the Warriors, despite having several opportunities, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any runs across the plate. In the sixth inning, Winters scored the tying run on a sacrifice fly from Adam Huffman. The Warriors might have scored more in the sixth, but Southern Lee first baseman Derek Gaster prevented that from happening when he made a spectacular catch where he reached over the fence of the Warriorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dugout to catch a foul ball which ended the inning. McNeill threw 3.3 innings before being relieved by Podruchny. McNeill allowed five runs while striking out two. Podruchny went the rest of the way allowing two runs on six hits. Offensively, Southern Lee was limited to just five hits and did not have a base hit after going up 6-1 in the second. Ward led the Cavaliers offense with a 2-for-2 performance at the plate. He also added three RBI. Collazo was 1-for-3 with an RBI. McNeill and Nick Mauldin each had hits for Southern Lee. In the past four years, the Cavaliers have gone to

the NCHSAA 3-A state tournament. In each of the last three seasons, Southern Lee has won 15 or more games. Burnett expects this loss to hurt for a while and plans on spending the next few days trying to comfort all of his players and telling them how proud he is of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, all I want to do is just make sure that this group of guys is OK,â&#x20AC;? said Burnett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m extremely proud of the season that we put together and the year we just had. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got 18 guys to console and that goes from the seniors all the way down to the freshman. They all put their heart and soul into this season. This one stings.â&#x20AC;? After meeting with his team on the field and telling each player how grateful he was for the past season, Burnett hugged every senior on the team and wished them well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told them that I am very proud of every last one of them,â&#x20AC;? said Burnett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a heck of a year. This group of seniors has been to the playoffs in every year and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for much more than that out of a group. This team is a special unit. Everybody will always be a part of Cavalier baseball and will also be a part of my heart forever.â&#x20AC;?

fence under Gomez, who rode Lookin At Lucky in his first nine races, including a troubled trip as the beaten favorite in the Santa Anita Derby. For this race, he made his own luck. Lookin At Lucky and Super Saver broke next to each other in the starting gate. Garcia kept Lookin At Lucky clear and out of trouble while running mid-pack down the back-

stretch, behind pacesetting First Dude. He made a big move on the final turn to challenge the surprisingly stubborn First Dude, a 23-1 long shot. Lookin At Lucky finally took charge in deep stretch. Gomez was aboard Lukasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dublin, who broke poorly from the 12th post and was not a factor. Yawanna Twist was fourth, followed by Dublin, Paddy Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Prado and Caracortado.

Bryant says Lakers focused on another title

NBA BRIEFS Bynum says knee injury getting worse

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Andrew Bynum says his injured knee gradually is getting worse, although the Los Angeles Lakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starting center plans to keep playing on his swelling leg in the Western Conference finals. Bynum disclosed his right kneeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worsening state after running in practice Saturday with the Lakers, who open the conference finals against Phoenix on Monday night. Bynum discovered a small tear in his meniscus after straining his knee during the Lakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first-round series with Oklahoma City. The resultant swelling prevented him from playing effectively in the defending NBA championsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last two playoff games in Utah.

Barnes misses practice with back spasms

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Magic forward Matt Barnes has missed practice because of back spasms but expects to start in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against Boston. Barnes said after Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice that he feels pain in the lower-left side of his back. The injury recently flared up after first occurring in Game 3 of the Magicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-round sweep of Atlanta. Orlandoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive stopper is expected to switch off Paul Pierce and guard Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ray Allen in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener. Magic coach Stan Van Gundy

had announced those plans before Barnes was injured, saying Barnes was better suited to chase Allen on the perimeter.

Perkins sits out with sore right knee

WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Boston Celtics center Kendrick Perkins is taking some time to rest his sore right knee before the Eastern Conference finals. Perkins was held out of practice on Saturday. He wore wraps on both knees for most of the session and kept ice on the right one toward the end. Perkins is expected to be the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main option for guarding Magic star Dwight Howard when the best-of-seven series begins in Orlando on Sunday.

Suns smirk at Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2122;travelingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; accusation

PHOENIX (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Phoenix Suns have reacted with a collective smirk to Phil Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion that Steve Nash travels with the basketball. Nash even had a subtle retort worthy of Jackson himself. Nash says he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been called for carrying the ball yet, and that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best coach in the league Gregg Popovich (of San Antonio) didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a problem with it last week.â&#x20AC;? Get it? He called Popovich, not Jackson, the best coach in the league. Coach Alvin Gentry laughed it off, saying youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to admire Jackson for his creativity.

Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett (5) dunks as Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James watches during the second half in Game 6 in a second-round NBA basketball playoff series in Boston. The Celtics won 94-85.

Olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Celtics, or just old? Boston to show vs. Magic ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Plopped on the couch in his living room, Stan Van Gundy was watching Boston blow past Cleveland in the Eastern Conference semifinals and thought it was some sort of replay from the Celticsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2008 NBA title run. There were the familiar scenes: Kevin Garnet pounding his chest, Ray Allen swishing 3-pointers and Paul Pierce pumping his fist. Boston was winning, and winning big. Orlandoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach was perplexed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at them, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the (same) team,â&#x20AC;? Van Gundy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What would be the difference?â&#x20AC;? These days, it might be

hard to tell. Turning back the clock to make another championship run, the resurgent Celtics are healthy again and looking to take down the playoff-perfect Orlando Magic starting Sunday in an Eastern Conference finals pitting the past two conference champions. The Celtics, with 17 NBA titles and names such as Larry Bird and Bill Russell hanging from the rafters, want to add to their lore and prove that the bullies from Beantown are back. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to do it against a favored Orlando team thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hungry to win its first NBA championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Orlando was the team

coming into the season where if you wanted to get out of the East, you had to beat Orlando,â&#x20AC;? Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the team that won the East last year, not Cleveland, and I want to make sure our guys focus on that.â&#x20AC;? The motivated Magic, spurred by last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NBA finals loss, swept through the first two rounds and have won 14 straight going back to the regular season. They eliminated the Celtics in seven games in the second round a year ago, and went 3-1 against Boston this year. That might not mean much now. Garnett, the centerpiece of Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last title, was out with a right knee injury in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoffs and is now close to full strength for the first time since. Orlandoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting point guard, Jameer Nelson, also was sidelined with a tear in his right shoulder last season.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kobe Bryant is among the fortunate few NBA players who know plenty about both winning a championship and successfully defending it. He thinks the Los Angeles Lakers spent most of the regular season just trying Bryant to avoid losing their title. In the past few weeks, the Lakers have been much more focused on winning another. When Bryant stopped Saturday to ponder the difference between these two daunting tasks, he delivered an unusual amount of effusive praise for the way the Lakers have rebounded from a successful but trying regular season with three weeks of perhaps their best basketball in a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not thinking about defending a title, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking about winning one,â&#x20AC;? Bryant said when asked how his greener teammates are responding to the stresses of repeating as champs. With Bryant leading a balanced offense and a sturdy defensive effort, the Lakers have won six straight games heading into the Western Conference finals against the Phoenix Suns, who also have won six in a row. After participating in a portion of Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; latest practice, Bryant praised the Lakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; increased aggressiveness and poise over the past few weeks.

BRIDGE HAND

Wife sinks husband’s teeth into zealous housecleaning DEAR ABBY: The other day my wife of 45 years was cleaning our bathroom and I popped in to ask her a question. I saw her remove my denture brush from the cup and begin cleaning the cracks and crevices of the bathroom with it. When she realized I was watching her, she said, “Oops, busted! Oh, well, it’s not like you put it in your mouth.” She also admitted it wasn’t the first time. Do you think I should be concerned? — BRUSHED OFF IN WISCONSIN

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: You will have an opportunity to redo something you fell short of accomplishing in the past. This is a year to move forward. The time for talk is over, allowing you to put your undivided attention into actual accomplishment. Love will take you on a rollercoaster ride but your insight and intelligence will help you find what you are looking for. Your numbers are 2, 5, 13, 25, 27, 31, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put a little pizzazz back into your life. Take on a physical challenge that will test your endurance and motivate you. Romance is highlighted but don’t neglect to spend quality time with the one you love or you may be faced with a disgruntled partner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone from your past may want to inch back into your world but only to meddle and cause you grief. Prepare to say no and then put your focus on someone you truly want to be with. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be faced with some emotional situations if you haven’t cleared up past relationships. Giving someone a false impression or offering to do more for someone than you are capable of doing will be a costly mistake. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may get backed into a corner but that doesn’t mean you should lie or keep secrets. Be upfront in order to end old conditions and start anew. A positive change is heading your way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You have to find out information first hand so your plans are based on solid evidence. Taking anyone or anything for granted will result in criticism and a heated discussion. Listen to the voice of experience. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ve got a lot on

WORD JUMBLE

your plate and must concentrate on what needs to be done. Expect someone who isn’t keen on your recent choices to create an emotional conflict that slows you down. Put your creative imagination to work. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Schedule and organize your plans and time wisely. An error will leave you at a loss and may cause you some emotional problems with someone you care about. Don’t take anyone for granted or you will pay the price. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Let your creativity lead the way. A project could turn into a moneymaker. Positive changes at home will make your place more conducive to productivity. Don’t let someone’s disapproval slow you down. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): The best way to accomplish your goals is to do it yourself. It’s always nice to get help but those closest to you will only slow you down. A lover will play with your emotions if you are neglectful. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do things with family and focus on ways to help the ones you love accomplish their goals. Your insight, determination and strong family ties will ensure greater support and progress lies ahead. Love, money and security are in the stars. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Love is in the stars and emotional matters will rise to the top, giving you reason to make some interesting, life-altering moves. A creative plan can be put into play. A moneymaking project will bring in positive resources. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Look and listen before you make a promise that is unfair to you. Additional responsibilities may sound doable but, in the end, you will be faced with impossible tasks. Think matters through before you give your word.

DEAR BRUSHED OFF: You absolutely should be concerned. Although the denture brush doesn’t go into your mouth, it does have contact with the appliances that do. Your wife’s behavior could be a sign of ignorance or bad judgment, but it could also be a sign of senility. This should be reported to your doctor, who should explain to your wife how ill-advised this practice is — or give her a diagnosis. o DEAR ABBY: Two years ago, after much searching, I found the love of my life, “Laura,” and we were married. Most of our time together is harmonious; the remainder is volatile. Laura is insanely jealous of practically everything I do. The most recent episode was over a junk e-mail she had seen in my inbox. She asked me about it as we

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

were going to bed, and I told her I had no idea what it was. The next day she asked me to look for it. I did, but I couldn’t find it. Laura then accused me of hiding and deleting it. Well, I always delete the “spam” e-mail I receive. Laura had a horrible first marriage and was wronged in the divorce. She keeps telling me it isn’t the reason for her suspicions, but it’s hard to believe that doesn’t play a part. These arguments are horrible and are causing trouble in our marriage. I am open and honest with her, and I truly want to be with her for the rest of my life. But her doubts, fears and mistrust are driving me crazy. What do I do? — UNDER CONSTANT ATTACK IN TEMPE, ARIZ. DEAR UNDER ATTACK: If you want your marriage to survive, tell Laura that although you love

her, you will no longer tolerate her inability to trust you and the volatile scenes her insecurity has caused. Whatever is driving her paranoia, she needs to work it through with a licensed mental health professional. Because she may be resistant to the idea, start by insisting you both see a marriage counselor. That person can be an ally in guiding her into the counseling she seriously needs. I wish you luck, because I suspect her issues go back farther than her first marriage. o DEAR ABBY: With the push in stores to buy their reusable shopping bags, I was wondering what the rule is about bringing bags from different stores. Is it rude if I use bags I purchased from somewhere else? — SHOPPING GREEN IN BLOOMFIELD, N.M. DEAR SHOPPING GREEN: Not at all. Stores are in the business of selling merchandise, and if they can bring in money and at the same time promote their brand by selling bags with their logo, that’s a double bang for their buck. But please don’t feel obligated to use store-brand shopping bags in every establishment you patronize — or you’ll wind up owning more than you can reasonably use. And that’s not budget-wise or “green” either.

ODDS AND ENDS 20K pieces of mail end up in Pa. carrier’s garage

Wash. dad charged with branding kids is acquitted

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The United State Postal Service has recovered approximately 20,000 pieces of mail — some of them more than a decade old — from a Philadelphia postal carrier’s garage. Special Agent Scott Balfour says it took three mail trucks to remove the letters. The carrier worked in the city’s Bustleton neighborhood. Balfour says some of the mail dates back to 1997. Postal officials say they recovered the mail on April 28 and it was being delivered to customers this week. Balfour wouldn’t comment on what prompted the investigation but says the carrier hadn’t been to work since February. Postal officials haven’t identified the carrier. Balfour says they’re still trying to find the man so they can question him.

PORT ANGELES, Wash. (AP) — A man in Washington state who branded his children like cattle has been acquitted of second-degree assault charges. A jury in Port Angeles deadlocked Thursday on two lesser charges of fourth-degree assault, and a judge declared a mistrial on those counts. The two teenage sons of 39-year-old Mark J. Seamands testified that they had wanted to be branded. The Sequim man was branded himself. He testified he wanted to bring the family closer together while he was going through a divorce. Seamands’ ex-wife said she was horrified when she saw the scars. Seamands’ 18-year-old daughter also was branded, but the dad wasn’t charged with assaulting her because she was old enough to give consent. The children were branded with the letters “SK,” which stands for “Seamands’ kids.”

Police: Southern NJ ‘robbery’ was failed drug deal MIDDLE TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) — Police in southern New Jersey say a man called to report that he had been robbed after getting angry with someone who sold him fake cocaine. Middle Township police say 24-year-old Lawrence Walsh called them Thursday and said he had been robbed at a convenience store. Officers soon responded, but the alleged assailant had fled in a cab. But police learned Walsh bought what he thought was cocaine from Thomas M. Sexton, a 23-year-old Lower Township resident. When he realized it was crushed Sheetrock, he made the robbery report. Sexton was charged with distribution of imitation drugs, while Walsh was charged with wandering in a public place to purchase drugs.

Minor injury for photo-taking hiker bitten by bear GATLINBURG, Tenn. (AP) — A man was bitten as he was trying to take a picture of a black bear in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, but the injury was minor and did not require medical attention. The National Park Service said in a release the unidentified man suffered a small puncture wound on his foot after he was bitten on the Laurel Falls Trail to the south of Gatlinburg, Tenn., on Wednesday. Wildlife biologists captured a 60-pound female bear that visitors reported seeing near the trail. As a matter of park policy, bears that have contact or injure people are euthanized. The park service said it is likely the bear had been eating food left behind by visitors. See answer, page 2A

Don’t let God be a distant relative Q: I don’t have any trouble believing in God but He seems very far away -- like a distant relative I’ve never met. People talk about getting close to God, but what do they mean by this, and is it really possible? -- Z.S. A: Yes, it is possible -- and the reason is because God doesn’t want to be like a distant relative to us! He loves us and wants us to know Him and sense His presence with us every day. How can we know God’s presence in our lives? First, by realizing that He is everywhere -- even if we don’t realize it. The Psalmist declared, “Where can I go from your Spirit?... If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there” (Psalm 139:7-8). God hasn’t gone off and hidden Himself in some dark corner of the Universe; He is all around us. But the key to knowing God’s presence is to invite Jesus Christ to come into our lives. Yes, God is all around us -- but we are still separated from Him by our sins. But Jesus Christ came to forgive us and cleanse us of our sins -- and He did this by taking upon Himself the judgment we deserve. Now we can be reconciled to God, because of what Jesus Christ did for us. Don’t let God be a “distant relative” any longer. Instead, by a simple prayer of faith tell Him that you know you have sinned, and you want Christ to come into your life. Jesus’ promise is for you: “Here I am! I stand at the door (of your heart) and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in” (Revelation 3:20).

Dairy Bar reopens Tuesday

Why you are where you are

fter several weeks of elongated columns on the ownership change at the Fairview Dairy Bar, it’s nice to have a shorter one full of quick hits this week. I know I like writing these kinds of columns — with small snippets on several businesses — better, and I think you like reading them. So here goes... First, I guess I should say a final word or two on the Dairy Bar situation. I spoke with Kathy Freedle on Saturday as she and her staff were putting the final touches on the restaurant. She said the county health inspector is supposed to be at the restaurant at 9 a.m. Monday, and if everything passes, the Dairy Bar will be serving customers once again at 6 a.m. Tuesday morning. She added that she is getting more and more excited as the opening approaches. “A lot people come in to say ‘we are glad to have you back,’” Freedle said. We have the place all painted and spiffed up, and we’re ready to put our best foot forward again. We’re ready to go.” And if you’re wondering, Tuesday’s specials include broccoli and cheese with chicken casserole, beef tips and possibly salmon patties.

Soynuts company set to launch in June So, I was walking out of the gym on Saturday (I know, shocking right?), and a brochure caught my eye for a new local business. It seems that Farmer’s Roasted Soynuts, a company owned by Chris Gaster and located at 1547 Sheriff Watson Road in Sanford, will be launching products in June. What are soynuts, you ask? Well I wondered the same thing, so I called Gaster on Saturday for a little more information. Apparently, they are just what they sound like Gaster explained that he first came in contact with roasted soynuts around 1998, when a sales rep at a company he worked with was eating them. Gaster asked the rep how much they cost, and he told him $6 for a small bag. Gaster saw an opportunity, because at the time he wasn’t getting $6 for a 60-pound bag of soybeans. So he built a roaster and began experimenting with them.

Peace College President and Chairman of the Leadership North Carolina Board of Directors Laura Carpenter Bingham, ESC Deputy Chairman and Chief Operating Officer David Clegg and the President of Leadership North Carolina Brian Etheridge Thursday at the ceremony.

Sanford native David Clegg honored with Preyer Award by Leadership North Carolina Special to The Herald RALEIGH — Sanford native David L. Clegg received one of Leadership North Carolina’s highest honors — the L. Richardson Preyer Alumni Award — during the LNC graduation ceremony in the Old House Chamber of the N.C. Capitol on Thursday. Clegg received the honor “for his support of the program and active involvement in its promotion and success,” according to LNC Executive Director Brian Etheridge. The Preyer Award is named in honor of the late Greensboro congressman, who was instrumental in the founding of LNC, and presented annually to an LNC graduate “whose demonstrated leadership has made a significant improvement in the quality of life, economic wellbeing and/or sense of community in the state; who has given of his time, talent, and resources to make the state a better place to live and to work.” The event saw the graduation of the 17th LNC class, which contained 47 members from around the state. N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue delivered the keynote address. Sanford Mayor Cornelia Olive was among members of this year’s graduating class. Clegg was a member of the seventh LNC class. Clegg serves as deputy chairman & chief operating officer

here are a lot of things that go into buying a home. The old adage is that real estate is all about location. Before you pick a home though, most people pick some other things first. The actual selection of the specific home is many times the last decision that gets made. Let’s look at a few of these items and see where we stand today. For those of us in the real estate business, we have to consider what is attractive to people considering a move to Sanford and the surrounding area. We also want to consider what is it that we as natives or current residents cherish in our community. For a community to prosper, we need to be able to keep what is good about Lee County and work on the things that are not so spectacular. First and foremost people, both residents and those moving here, want opportunity. Opportunity to have a good job, opportunity for their children to get a great education, opportunities to relax, feel safe and have recreation. When I think about what I want my children to have and do, we often speak about having choices, making good choices and the opportunity to have choices rather than to be stuck taking whatever someone will let us have. So, as a community, we want to be a good choice for those who live here, a community where people can grow and grow up, a place where we can decide to be whatever our dreams, abilities and efforts will take us. Do we have choices here? Do we have choices in jobs, in schools, choices in recreation? As

CHAMBER CHAT

Help us show off Sanford in Atlanta

Bob Joyce Bob Joyce is President of the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce.

he Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce’s promotional trip to Ft. McPherson in Atlanta is gaining steam. Together with the Moore County Chamber, we’re holding a Relocation Fair for military and civilian employees with Forces Command who may be moving to our area next year. The Chamber will be representing our entire business community but we will also be accompanied by many businesses who want to meet face to face with these potential new customers. Our home

builders and real estate communities will be there along with representatives from our schools and community college. Restaurants and hotels will send promotional materials. Door prizes for our guests will be provided by many local merchants — all in an

effort to help these transferring families know more about our Lee and Moore counties and the amenities we enjoy. If your business or organization wants to go to Atlanta to meet new customers, please call the Chamber tomorrow at 7757341. We have only a few spots left on our bus. We’ll be leaving on Thursday afternoon, June 3; we’ll spend the night Thursday night; meet and greet on Friday

someone who grew up here, we have more choices in many of these areas than ever before. We have multiple public schools and choices about where to live and which school to attend. Some, such as Tramway Elementary and Lee Early College, can be chosen independently of where you live in the county. Tramway also allows people to choose a year round versus a traditional school schedule. We have two private K-12 options in Grace Christian and Lee Christian, and we have a Montessori school for elementary aged children as well. Some even opt to live here and send their children to the O’Neal School or Cary Academy. So there are many options that afford choices in education. And all of these schools are educating students who are prepared to be successful in very good universities and colleges and beyond. I spoke to the mother of a student at NC State who is finishing his freshman year with a 4.0 GPA (all A’s) in chemical engineering. Could he have been more prepared somewhere else? The results would say no. He graduated last year from Southern Lee. It was not too long ago when there was no Jordan Lake, no Temple Theater, no Carolina Trace. Now we are adding a trail to the Endor Iron furnace. A generation ago there wasn’t a YMCA, and I don’t think the Kiwanis family park or the Nautilus were here either (if they were, they were pretty new). There were few restaurants downtown. Now there are coffee shops and wine bars and gourmet pizza. And don’t forget the Pottery festival, bike races, House in the Horseshoe, and the Heart of Carolina jazz ensemble. This weekend alone you can see South Pacific at the Temple, the North Carolina Boys Choir at Jonesboro UMC, the African Childrens’ choir at Shallow Well Church of Christ, or take in the Lee County Community Orchestra’s two concerts. You can also go out to the Crankup at the Old Gilliam Mill Park on NC 42. Plus many of you participated in

the local Relay for Life. So if you can’t find something to do, it may be your own fault! Right now, it doesn’t feel as if there are as many job options as we have had at times. I don’t think our community is alone in that sentiment. We do have a choice though, as a community. We can sit around and wait and hope things get better, or we can pick ourselves up by our bootstraps and make things better. While big businesses may not be coming, we can encourage people to create small businesses. Our local government can prepare to have infrastructure for better times ahead. We are beginning to find alternatives to bank financing for some of our work, since many banks are limiting their financing for Acquisition, Development and Construction (AD&C) loans. We can’t stop planning and preparing just because things get slow. We’ve become more knowledgeable with regard to energy efficiency options and practices during this slower time, for instance. Clearly, some people see opportunity in Sanford. Cracker Barrel is a perfect example. I didn’t think Sanford was a town to which Cracker Barrel would be attracted. I was so used to seeing them along interstate highways that I didn’t think we met their profile. I don’t know how many towns this size they are in that aren’t along a major highway, but their success here may open a whole new niche for them. We can get bogged down in what we don’t have, but there is a tremendous amount of opportunities we do have. Sure, we have things we need to do better, what town doesn’t? We’re going to Fort McPherson with the Chamber of Commerce in a few weeks to tell those folks who are considering moving here with BRAC why we think this is a good place to live. For over 40 years the staff at The Groce Companies has helped consumers in central North Carolina design, build and secure financing to build or buy their homes.

Carter and, yes, Herald editor Billy Liggett, performing routines to raise more than $80,000 for the organization. So I have a lot to live up to, I guess, which is why I’ve been working on my fitness in preparation. The funny thing about it is, I’m not a “star,” and I’m even less of a dancer. But if we’re going to do it, we’re going to go all out. If that doesn’t scare you away, I’m still looking for my partner. I want to best, too. Send me an e-mail if you think you can hang with my skills.

By the way, I’ll explain at the end of the column more about why I was at the gym.

The things you do for charity... OK, so about the gym. This week I did something I know I am going to regret. I agreed to participate in the second Dancing with the Lee County Stars fundraiser on August 13, to benefit Communities in Schools of Lee County. Last year’s event was a smashing success, with dancers such as Lee County Sheriff Tracy Insurance Legal Award of Merit in 2005. The mission of the LNC Program is to inform, develop and engage committed leaders by broadening their understanding of and involvement in issues and opportunities facing our state. The program is aimed at persons who have demonstrated community and professional leadership experiences. Six monthly, two-day sessions give class members a broader understanding of the state, with a focus on issues in the topical areas of: Economic De-

velopment, Education, Environment, Government and Health and Human Services. Participants learn about the critical issues in these areas through discussions with top officials of the state, professionals in the areas, field trips and experiential activities. The program cultivates a network of citizens with diverse backgrounds and experiences who represent the many geographic areas of the state and who are committed to volunteer service.

190 new families on our businesses, our churches and our neighborhoods. Houses will be sold. New furniture, carpet and draperies will be purchased. More families will go out to eat and go to the movies. Lee County may become home to an even larger group of vibrant, diverse people than we have today. Generally speaking, in our 103-year history, we’ve been a self-contained community. We’ve had everything we needed — good shopping, great health care, good paying jobs. We haven’t marketed ourselves as a bedroom community for the large metropolitan areas around us

although we all enjoyed the benefits of traveling to those areas occasionally. In the next few years, we may see more families living here and working elsewhere. If that trend occurs, what differences will that make in our community? Research shows that families living in bedroom communities want more activities like parks, hiking trails, dog parks and sports venues. We hope many of those working at Ft. Bragg will choose our community as home. We know Lee County will definitely be changed by this growth — and change is good for everyone, including businesses.

Coastal company works to keep products dry By JUDY ROYAL An AP Member Exchange

Obama wants light on shadowy deals Merchants score By ERICA WERNER Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Closer watch over Wall Street will help consumers make better informed choices about investing and shine light on the shadowy deals that caused the financial crisis, President Barack Obama said Saturday in pushing Congress to pass overhaul legislation. In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama said the bill also would curb predatory lending practices, prevent banks from taking on too much risk and give shareholders more of a say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Put simply, Wall Street reform will bring greater security to folks on Main Street,â&#x20AC;? the president said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My responsibility as president isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just to help our economy rebound from this recession; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to make sure an economic crisis like the one that helped trigger this recession never happens again,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Wall Street reform will help us do.â&#x20AC;? The Senate is debating the broadest rewrite of the rules governing Wall Street since the Great Depression. A final vote is possible as early as the coming week. The bill

The legislation would set up a mechanism to watch out for risks in the financial system, create a method to liquidate large failing firms and write new rules for complex securities blamed for helping precipitate the 2008 economic crisis. It also would create a new consumer protection agency, a key point for Obama. The Senate version calls for an independent bureau within the Federal Reserve to write and enforce regulations that would police lending, while the House bill has a

stand-alone agency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youll be empowered with the clear and concise information you need to make the choices that are best for you. Well help stop predatory practices, and curb unscrupulous lenders, helping secure your familys financial future,â&#x20AC;? Obama said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With reform, well make our financial system more transparent by bringing the kinds of complex, back-room deals that helped trigger this crisis into the light of day. Well prevent banks from taking on so much risk that they could collapse and threaten our whole economy.â&#x20AC;?

Republicans and Democrats have bridged partisan divides to come together on some areas of the legislation, but the two parties still disagree on plenty. Republicans used their weekly address to accuse Obama and Democrats of promoting economic policies that rely too much on spending and not enough on cutting. The GOP address was delivered by Rep. Chris Lee of New York, who represents Buffalo. Obama visited the city Thursday to talk up his agenda for jobs and the economy, and Lee said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hoped the president â&#x20AC;&#x153;would listen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; really listen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to what the people are saying.â&#x20AC;? What the president would have heard, according to Lee: Americans â&#x20AC;&#x153;want us to work together on commonsense solutions to stop the spending spree and focus on helping manufacturers and small businesses create jobs.â&#x20AC;? Lee contended that the economic recovery act passed last year never lived up to Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; promises that it would reduce unemployment and that Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health care bill will cost taxpayers money, not bring savings.

Senate win in fight over card fees By MARK JEWELL AP Personal Finance Writer

BOSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Congress appears poised to tighten restrictions on the fees that merchants pay when customers swipe debit cards at cash registers. An amendment that cleared the Senate late Thursday is a loss for card payment networks like Visa and MasterCard â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whose stocks tumbled on Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as major banks that issue cards. But even if the amendment becomes law, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear whether savings from reductions in debit card swipe fees would trickle down to consumers in the form of lower prices, or would largely be kept by merchants. Swipe fees, formally called interchange fees, are charges that a merchantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bank pays the issuer of a customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s card for each electronic transaction. The proposed change isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to produce a windfall for shoppers, according to Scott Valentin, an FBR Capital Markets analyst who follows financial company stocks. Valentin said in a research note Friday that he expects â&#x20AC;&#x153;little, if any, of any cost savings gained by merchants to be passed on to consumers.â&#x20AC;? Beyond the cash register, lower swipe fees also could affect increasingly popular debit card rewards programs, where

customers rack up points for goodies like airline tickets or the latest iPod model. Valentin and another analyst said those programs could disappear, because banks rely on revenue from interchange fees to help cover the programsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reward costs. The programs â&#x20AC;&#x153;would likely diminish or go away once debit interchange revenues are reduced,â&#x20AC;? wrote Credit Suisse analyst Moshe Orenbuch. However, a merchant who has sued card companies and banks over swipe fees says savings from fee cuts would ultimately reach consumers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will transfer billions of dollars from banks to American families and small businesses,â&#x20AC;? said Mitch Goldstone, CEO of Scanmyphotos.com, an Irvine, Calif. e-commerce and retail photo business. If merchants pay lower fees on customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; debit payments, those that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond with price cuts will lose cost-conscious customers, said Goldstone. When businesses accept major credit cards they sign agreements with the card companies to pay a percentage of each transaction, usually about 2 to 3 percent. Fees are set in negotiations among the various parties, although merchants say terms are largely dictated by card companies and banks.

Pushing God to the periphery

Sunday should be kept holy

an there be any doubt that our society is eroding at a steady and rapid pace? While our primary attention is on the threat of global terrorism, within our borders moral and spiritual deterioration is taking place in almost every area of public life. Two generations ago our nation had a strong commitment to God and family. Today the traditional family is often looked down upon, and even reviled. Not everyone was a Christian in prior decades, of course, but society recognized that there were absolute standards for human conduct growing out of the truths found in the Bible. Beginning in Europe and spreading west, humanism (life centered on human interests and values), with God pushed to the background, started to take hold. Out went moral absolutes. Morality became dependent on the situation of the moment. The truth that people are sinful by nature was considered archaic and out of date. In came the idea that human beings evolved from lower life forms without God and are constantly improving. If that were true there would be no need for a Savior. The dominant philosophy today is that there are no absolutes, no truths that have always been true, are still true, and will always be true. What is often called “the new morality” is actually “the old immorality.” It elevates man and dethrones God. The decline in our culture caused by this loss of God-consciousness is

later he started looking even skinnier, even worse.” Khalid returned to the hospital and had a CT scan. The doctor couldn’t tell for sure, but thought it might have been neuroblastoma. Two days later a biopsy was performed that confirmed it. “I’ll never forget the feeling. It was surreal,” Khalid’s father, Eric Amos, said. “It seemed like everything had just stopped. Everything, just right there in those few minutes, changed.” Neuroblastoma occurs mainly in children younger than 10. About 650 new cases appear in the United States each year, and it’s the most common solid, nonbrain-tumor in children.

Four-year-old picked as cancer ambassador By ROBERT LOPEZ The News & Record of Greensboro

GREENSBORO (AP) — Fouryear-old Khalid Amos lifts his shirt up and reveals a faint scar on his chest. “That’s my port,” he says. “That’s where they put the medicine in, take blood out.” Khalid was diagnosed two years ago with neuroblastoma, a tumor of the sympathetic nervous system, which controls the body’s fight or flight responses. The cancer now is in remission, and he remains a playful, if shy, little boy. He also has become a public face for his condition. Khalid was named this year as one of St. Baldrick’s Foundation’s five International Child Ambassadors. The Monrovia, Calif.-based organization is best known for its head-shaving events, where volunteers cut off all their hair to draw attention to and raise money for childhood cancer research. Khalid’s mother, Danielle Cureton, will lose her locks in September as part of a campaign titled 46 Mommas Shave for the Brave. Khalid has eight siblings ranging in age from 11/2 to 15. Thin with a head full of curls, he enjoys playing on the Wii and is learning the alphabet. His mother said he can type his name on the computer. Cureton was about six

But then all he wanted to do was lay down. He didn’t want to run around or do anything else. And he wouldn’t eat, even if we gave him his favorite foods.” She took Khalid to the doctor, who ran some blood tests but couldn’t find anything wrong. They then went to Brenner Children’s Hospital to get some X-rays taken. “They could tell there was a blockage, but couldn’t tell it was a tumor,” Cureton said. “And so they sent us home and six days

Reinvention requires stages of growth

oday’s economic crisis is an external event but it is generating a lot of internal turmoil for people of all ages, provoking many to re-examine their work and lives.

t probably goes without saying but there are 10 Commandments, not nine. When God gave His law He gave Ten Commandments; among them was the commandment to keep the Sabbath. One day of seven was to be set aside for the cessation of work and for the corporate worship of Almighty God. Although the Sabbath originated from God’s own resting after six days of creation, it was included in the Law as a perpetual statute for God’s people. Jews still keep Saturday and Christians have historically observed Sunday, the day of Christ’s resurrection, but both have believed God’s law instructs the faithful to keep one day of the week for rest and worship. I find it interesting, in talking with many Christians, to learn that they believe we, while we are not under the law for salvation, nevertheless should abide by the ten commandments of God. They agree with the apostle Paul that the law is holy and good (Romans 7:12) but when it comes to observing the Lord’s Day, they somehow feel it is optional. The other nine commandments are all to be followed to the letter but the fourth commandment is no longer for Christians. How did it happen that the consensus of Christian people changed from observing

Artisans at Sanford’s recent pottery festival expressed concern for staying in business, wondering what would they do to earn a living and pay the bills if not able to continue creating their art. Meanwhile the wine makers reported robust sales so economic stress may be encouraging others to drink more soothing beverages for escape. My author friend Margaret called recently to say she is throwing in the towel in terms of book sales and going back to college to get her teaching certificate. Her master’s degree in liberal arts is not enough so

she has signed up for education courses to better qualify her. Transition may be forced by an external experience but always requires an internal process. Change, often initiated by an incident by loss of a job, relationship, person, etc., can often serve as the catalyst for growth and help individuals to make the most of the rest of their lives.

The honors were presented by UNCG Chancellor Linda P. Brady during a May 11 program that also recognized donors to the university. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are the highest honors that the university awards each year to community, state or national leaders for their service, and this year we celebrate the accomplishments of seven outstanding individuals,â&#x20AC;? Brady said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipients have helped change the state of North Carolina and the Triad for the better and they have inspired all who know them and have worked with them.â&#x20AC;? McCracken, who graduated from UNCG in 1960, received the Alumni Distinguished Service Award, presented to alumni who have rendered distinctive service on national, state or local levels, and made significant contributions to the liberal arts ideal. After graduation, she spent several years teaching in Durham County Schools before earning her masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree and becoming an English instructor at Central Carolina Community College.

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina Coastal Pines is pleased to announce Kayla Marie Lane, Briana Rollins and Raneesha Rollins, all of Sanford, have been awarded the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest achievement in Girl Scouting. A young woman who â&#x20AC;&#x153;goes for the Goldâ&#x20AC;? must have dedication and determination in order to attain this prestigious honor. This award symbolizes outstanding accomplishments and a significant time investment in the areas of leadership, career planning, personal development and community service. For her Gold Award project, Kayla planted flower beds at San-Lee Park in Lee County. She planned and landscaped four areas at the park and planted flowers native to North Carolina. Kayla said the reason she chose this for her project was to make the park more colorful for visitors to enjoy and because she loves gardening. Kayla is the daughter of Peter and Kimberley Lane of Olivia and is a graduate of Western Harnett High School. For her Girl Scout Gold Award project, Briana tutored students at Pittsboro Elementary School. During the school year, she helped them with their school work and taught them how to play games including kickball, hide and seek, and heads up seven up. During the summer, she led the children in arts and crafts projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My project provided children who might not be able to afford many extra-curricular activities a chance to participate in one,â&#x20AC;? said Briana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The participants learned how to work well with other children and learned to develop their imagina-

In addition to her Gold Award, Briana achieved another higher level of leadership. She received the Leader in Training recognition. She worked under the leadership of Yolanda Leach with Troop 513 at St. Luke United Methodist Church for one year. Briana is the daughter of Diana Girardi and is a graduate of Southern Lee High School. Raneesha worked with children during the summer at Pittsboro Elementary School for her Girl Scout Gold Award project. Raneesha led the children in games relating to science projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I provided a positive learning service to the children who participated in the project,â&#x20AC;? said Raneesha. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were able to participate in the projects themselves to

make science more of an active learning experience.â&#x20AC;? Raneesha is the daugter of Diana Girardi of Sanford and is a graduate of Lee County High School. The Girl Scout Gold Award has evolved from a long line of Girl Scout leadership awards going back as far as 1919. The Gold Award recognizes the work of Girl Scouts who demonstrate leadership culminating in 65 hours or more, dedicated toward a service project that has lasting effects in their community. Girl Scouts of the USA has a 98-year tradition of building leadership skills in girls. Girl Scouts - North Carolina Coastal Pines serves more than 31,500 girl members and 9,000 adult members in 41 central and eastern North Carolina counties.

other represents opportunity. While the journey through any type of transition may be difficult, even frightening, this is how reinvention occurs. Such passages have tremendous potential for personal, professional, and spiritual evolution. If a person accepts the process as a necessary metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly, she/he can grow more efficiently. The outcome leads to a higher state of awareness and eventually a greater sense of peace. Integrating the outer shift into a different inner identity can take weeks, months, even years. There are usually several stages. Compulsory change, especially if sudden, may involve feelings of disbelief, resentment, anger, denial, and pain.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the problems with neuroblastoma is that it tends to grow in the belly, where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of room to grow,â&#x20AC;? said Michael Armstrong, a medical instructor and pediatric oncologist at Duke University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we might not find it until late in the disease. Some kids will complain of belly pain. Or the parents might be giving the child a bath and feel a mass in the abdomen. They (the tumors) will occasionally grow in the chest and so there will be some respiratory complaints, such as a cold that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go away.â&#x20AC;? Lower-risk tumors can just be removed through surgery, Armstrong said, with a little bit of chemotherapy afterward to get rid of any tumor cells left behind that couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be taken care of otherwise. Higher-risk tumors, however, might need intensive chemotherapy, radiation therapy, bonemarrow transplants and maintenance therapy. Khalid had several tumors, the biggest of which was on his adrenal gland and wrapped around an artery that supplied blood to his left kidney. He was started on chemotherapy the day after the biopsy results came back, and

The best approach in this stage of transition is to start releasing the old and letting go of the loss connected with the situation. It is OK to allow ourselves to feel grief and seek support from family, friends, therapists, etc. We must not dwell on what might have been or why this happened to us. Stage two always includes a period of not knowingâ&#x20AC;Śliving in the mystery, which can be very challenging to security-minded folks, but may be freeing. Some may feel a temporary or prolonged â&#x20AC;&#x153;dark night of the soulâ&#x20AC;? and must depend on faith and hope to get them through this transition. Being unsure of next steps is common so it is a good time to research, read, explore talents, take courses, network at business functions, and gain insights about different possibilities. The third stage of

transition is re-creating ourselves by taking a different job, starting a business, experimenting with innovative ways of thinking and being, and allowing a different way of functioning in the world. For some folks the answer may be early retirement. For someone who has lost savings in funds this could mean moving to a smaller house with the blessing of a simpler life and/or taking a part-time job that turns out to be stimulating. During all phases of transition it is crucial to remember that action is not always about doing but also about being. Any type of awakening requires some serious soul searching that may seem like indulgence, but it is a crucial component for growing personally and professionally. American poet, essayist, and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noth-

ing is secure but life, transition, the energizing spirit.â&#x20AC;? Releasing the old, embracing the transition, and implementing strategies for creating a different way of working and living usually leads to a more rewarding existence. An energizing spirit will help us discover more meaning and magic in everyday life and also give us the strength to generate greater fulfillment.

spent the next three weeks at Brenner. The family also had to make occasional trips to New York for antibody therapy. Eventually a tube was inserted in his chest so the doctors wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to poke him constantly with needles. He also ended up losing sight in his right eye permanently. Altogether, he spent about a year getting treatment, which included 14 cycles of radiation, seven blood transfusions, six rounds of chemotherapy, four bone-marrow aspirations, three platelet transfusions, three minor surgeries and one major surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was scary,â&#x20AC;? Cureton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just felt so bad because it was something we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if we could fix. If he had gotten a broken arm, we knew we could fix that. But with this, you just have to go by what the doctors tell you and trust that they will be able to fix it.â&#x20AC;? His parents managed to find a sitter for the nights they both had to be away and arranged their work schedules such that one parent could be home while the other one traveled with Khalid when he had to go to New York. But the illness also put a strain on the rest of the family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For awhile I really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to see the kids

that much,â&#x20AC;? Cureton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It got them off their rhythm. There were a lot of things that we needed to try to do with the kids but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much time for. We had some issues with grades. But they did step up, do chores around the house.â&#x20AC;? The family became involved with St. Baldrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Eric Amos met another parent whose child was also undergoing cancer treatment. He attended an event at Finniganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wake in Winston-Salem in 2008, where volunteers were getting their heads shaved. The organization, founded in 2000, wants its â&#x20AC;&#x153;shaveesâ&#x20AC;? to become walking billboards for cancer research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People see you, ask what happened to your hair, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Are you OK?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153; said Jane Hoppen, director of partnership for the foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you tell them, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Well, I did it because I wanted to raise money to fight childhood cancer. And do you know childhood cancer is the No. 1 disease killer of children in the United States?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153; Hoppen said the organization had received a great deal of support in North Carolina, so two children from the state

were chosen to be its ambassadors this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Khalid, he just came from a remarkable family,â&#x20AC;? Hoppen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a great smile, is full of energy even though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fighting cancer for about half his life.â&#x20AC;? Khalid does not seem to remember much about the experience, other than his belly hurt and he got to eat a lot of crackers, chips and juice afterward. He has had a few relapses, Cureton said, but the results from his latest biopsy were good. As an ambassador, he will appear on posters, annual reports and promotional materials for the organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just kind of puts the face on what the cause is,â&#x20AC;? Cureton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great. It gets the word out in any way they can to raise money to address the issue of childhood cancer. Khalid is a success story. It shows that children are surviving.â&#x20AC;? And she said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not nervous about going bald herself in September for the St. Baldrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraiser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine going through half of what he did,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If all I have to do is get rid of my hair, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be fine.â&#x20AC;?

perhaps most obvious in television. One professional media observer said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it comes to reinforcing traditional values and standards of morality and decency, TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judgment is clouded by a hostility to anything that smacks of Judeo-Christian mores.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;All too often,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional nuclear family is portrayed in the crudest terms imaginable: Dad, usually a weak character, belches at the dinner table; Mom, formerly a nurturing presence in the home, reigns as the put-down queen; and the children act bratty and disrespectful â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and proud of it.â&#x20AC;?

the Christian Sabbath to treating Sunday like any other day of the week? Like many things it changed little by little. Fifty years ago blue laws reflected the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belief that Sunday was a holy day and not a day for business. Sports were played Monday through Saturday but not on Sunday. Not everyone went to church but they respected the beliefs of those who did and closed up shop for the Sabbath. Farmers and factory workers alike rested on Sunday and families dedicated the day to church and quiet, restful activities. That was 50 years ago. Slowly but surely shops started opening; sports teams

to give. In other words, live for the moment and enjoy yourself because you are not going to be young forever. Besides, everyone is doing it. In addition to the encouragement to indulge in premarital sex, our cultural erosion is seen in things like the anti-Christian art we are forced to subsidize with our tax dollars. It is hard to understand how anyone could consider the portrayal of Christ on a cross in a vial of urine to be art. But that is the level to which our nation has fallen. God is being systematically pushed to the periphery of public life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Separation of church and stateâ&#x20AC;? is being interpreted by activist judges in our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal court system to mean â&#x20AC;&#x153;separation of GOD and state.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man (or a nation) sows, he (or a nation) will also reapâ&#x20AC;? (Galatians 6:7 NASB).

started scheduling; factories started running and Christians stopped protesting the desecration of the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Today, Sunday is just the second day of the weekend. Schedule anything you want at any time of the day you want. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter, most Christians donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in observing a Sabbath and those that do may complain, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll attend anyway. The Bible speaks of a day to be set aside for rest and worship. It is the first day of the week because Christ rose from the grave on that day and He is to come first in all things. You can choose to observe it or not; but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say we should keep the Ten Commandments yet make one of them optional. There are ten, not nine.

6C / Sunday, May 16, 2010 / The Sanford Herald Past Clubs News Sanford Lions Club

Even with prison overcrowding a problem in North Carolina, the state must keep violent criminals and habitual offenders behind bars, according to 11th Judicial District Attorney Susan Doyle. That might mean releasing some lower level inmates to make room, but the trade-off is worth it, she said. District Attorney Doyle spoke Thursday, May 6, at the weekly meeting of the Sanford Lions Club as a guest of Walter Roberts, program chairman. Doyle has been the top law enforcement official in Johnston, Harnett and Lee counties since 2007, following DA Tom Locke. The Republican is seeking re-election this year. She outlined her goals since taking office in 2007, including cracking down on habitual criminal offenders, more aggressive prosecution of those who drive while impaired including a no dismissal policy, fighting gang activity, and initiating a more efficient worthless check program that aids local business people by making the process less time consuming. DA Doyle presented statistics supporting the positive impact these priorities have had in the 11th District. The District Attorney is a native of Weaverville, near Asheville, and a graduate of UNC at Chapel Hill and the Campbell University School of Law. She interned in the DA’s office in 1992 while still a law student and realized that representing the victims of crime and the public was her passion. Locke hired her upon graduation and she served as an assistant district attorney until 2007 when she ran for and was elected to the top spot. She is currently vice president of the N.C. Conference of District Attorneys. In other business, Avron Upchurch gave a planning overview of the special 75th Anniversary celebration for the Sanford Lions to be held in August. The event will feature many invited local and area guests including Lions from the local, state and international levels. Work continues for the June 5th Sanford Lions Golf Tournament for which hole sponsors and golfers are needed. And a special meeting May 27 to host guests and potential members was discussed. Bob Groome was extended a warm welcome back following illness and other sick were remembered. President-elect Marvin Joyner presided while Walter Roberts gave the invocation and Dan Hruby led the Pledge of Allegiance.

San-Lee Sunrise Rotary

President Neal Jensen opened the meeting with the “Quote of the Week:” “I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn’t learn something from him.” — Galileo Galilei. Raymond Womble led the Rotary invocation and Larry Mintz led the Pledge of Allegiance. Club guest LaWanda Dauphin was recognized. In “Good News‚“ President Jensen and wife Molly entertained their grandson Friday through Sunday, and they reported they were glad to see their daughter on Sunday. Andy Manhardt is celebrating strawberry season in North Carolina, and the Martin Davis family is celebrating a new basset puppy. Howard Logue stated he has a budding movie actor in his family

in that his grandson has a part in an upcoming movie production. Larry Mintz shared the fact that he and Ron Moeller won a recent doubles match in tennis, and Terry Mullen shared his niece’s return from a two-month trip around the Pacific rim countries. In “Club News‚“ Terry Mullen reported that Fred Stuart had a successful weekend visit to Sanford accompanied by his two daughters. There will be no morning meeting for San-Lee Sunrise on Monday, May 17, but SanLee Sunrisers and their significant others will meet at the Buffalo Lake Club House at 6:30 p.m. that Monday evening for a celebration of Charter Night. Each member is asked to bring a dessert. Leslie Cox will provide directions to the club house via internet. There will be a San-Lee Sunrise board meeting after the morning meeting on Monday, May 24. Paul Dauphin introduced Leslie Cox for a program describing Cox’s recent visit to Australia as a member of the Rotary District 7690 Group Study Exchange. This was Leslie’s second trip to Australia as a GSE member, and he opened his presentation with a “G’Day Ya’ll” the Australian equivalent of “hello, folks.” The 7690 GSE group visited Rotary District 9640 in South Wales/ Queensland, Australia, an area with 56 Rotary Clubs and 1,456 Rotarians. Cox said their visit ranged from the mountains to the sea in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Other members of the group were Matthew Johnson, an urban planner; Megan McClure, a loan specialist; Chris Arrington, an environmental consultant and banjo picker; Farren Paton, packaging engineer; and Joseph Thompson III (aka THOMO), a poet. The visit itinerary included Palm Beach, Stanthorpe, Tenterfield, Burleigh, Surfers Paradise, Mullumbimby, Lismore and Yamba. President Jensen led the “Four Way Test.”

Kiwanis Club of Lee County President Matt Jackson presided over the weekly meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Lee County held at Davison’s Steaks on May 5. The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was led by Abby Cameron and the invocation was given by Cleo Blue. Jimmy Tucker sold the project fund tickets and Rita Oglesbee was the winner. The Kiwanis Member Spotlight for the day was John Payne, who shared information about himself and his family with the club. Susan Campbell thanked Janet Tucker for reading at Head Start and Cleo Blue volunteered for the next week. Lyn Hankins announced the 2 scholarship recipients but asked that the names be held until formal announcement goes to the recipients. The YMCA Prayer breakfast was May 6 where the Kiwanis of Lee sponsored a table. Also the Coalition for Families’ Kids & Pigs plate dinner fundraiser was May 7 and the Kiwanis of Lee assisted in serving.

She encouraged individuals to consider one of three shifts. Jan Brooks introduced Bob Brickhouse, founder and member of the local Parkinson’s Disease Support Group and the speaker for the day. Brickhouse began by explaining that the disease takes its name from London physician Dr. James Parkinson. In 1817 Dr. Parkinson began observing a problem in balance where people might run in order to prevent a fall. As a result he wrote his first essay on this illness titled, “An Essay on the Shaking Palsy.” A degenerative disease of the nervous system impairing motor skills, speech and other functions, Parkinson’s Disease symptoms might include tremors, rigidity, slow movement and loss of taste and smell. Prior to 1968 there was no medicine for the disease, but due to extensive study and experimentation the last 15 years has seen great improvements. Speaking from experience as a caregiver, Brickhouse spoke highly of the local support groups for the caregivers of individuals afflicted by this disease, noting that the patient is not the only one suffering. The local Parkinson’s Disease Support Group meets the third Wednesday of each month at the Enrichment Center of Lee County. At the onset of the disease caregivers should encourage vigor-

ous exercise, swimming, talking and singing to the affected individual. The disease can affect all ages. While the government has been slow, The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation has been quick to raise $180 million for research. For more information on this and other support groups, Brickhouse encouraged calling The Enrichment Center at 776-0501. For information on Parkinson’s Disease Foundation you should go to www. pdf.org or call 800/4576676. President Jackson adjourned the meeting with the following quote, “Live everyday like it’s your last because one day you will be right.”

Sanford Civitan Club The regular bi-weekly meeting of the Sanford Civitan Club was held May 6 at the Civitan clubhouse on Golf Course Road. There were 15 members present as well as three guests in attendance including the guest speakers. The meeting was opened by past president John Musselwhite, in the absence of president Van Blanton, who offered a warm welcome for everyone particularly the guests. J.C. Perry offered the invocation then Musselwhite led the Pledge of Allegiance. Musselwhite then briefly discussed health concerns of several members or their spouses. The guest speakers, Janice Holmes and Judi Womack, both from the Lee County Enrichment Center, gave a most informative presentation of the activities and services offered by the Center. Holmes spoke of many varied things offered such as educational opportuni-

ties in subjects ranging from financial planning, driver’s refresher, art and dancing. She also spoke of other services as delivered meals for shut ins, resource library, home repair (including wheelchair ramps which the Civitan club is involved in construction), insurance counseling, Senior Games and employment training to mention a few. She discussed the fitness and wellness activities and programs available, including various exercise programs and the equipped fitness room. She stated the Center has something for all seniors and always has something going on of interest. Womack then presented more specific program concerning caregivers. She spoke of the support and information activities available especially the caregiver time out that occurs every Tuesday between 1 and 3 p.m. This is an opportunity for caregivers to have a little time break for themselves to do things as shopping, resting or taking care of the various matters that caregiving precludes. The Special Olympics committee reported that the games will be held tomorrow and that only a few volunteers are signed up. The concession committee reported that the games at Dalrymple Park will end next Tuesday and that the games at Southern Lee Park will start next Wednesday and run through June 8. In addition there will be games held each Saturday in May from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. There was a motion passed to formalize the transfer of funds from the general fund to complete the two scholarships for CCCC. The next scheduled meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. May 20 at the clubhouse.

Jonesboro Rotary Club The May 6th meeting of the Jonesboro Rotary Club was called to order by President Kate Rumely. The invocation was given by Richard Carlson. Jay Childress performed his duties as Sergeant-at-Arms, noting that we had no visitors except our speaker Jan Hayes. There were a number of announcements: Michele Bullard mentioned the Greenwood school activities. Larry Aiken requested a “real” name badge for

Alan Finlanson; Rumely announced board meeting activities including a grant application for water resources that needs $34K in funding for our district, also a plug for the District Assembly meeting on May 14. Brags included Rumely’s for Ed Terry’s work on a film project with the Edwards students, a 45minute historical drama that debuts June 3. Terry bragged on Larry Aiken. Van Sillaman bragged on the Temple Theatre’s production of South Pacific. Alan Finlanson bragged that grading had started for their new building, and also on his upcoming vacation to Montana. The raffle was won by Doug Doris. Ray Martin had the last announcement, about the BreadBasket duty on Friday the 7th. Our program was given by Jan Hayes, executive director of the United Way of Lee County, and introduced by Bullard. Jan is a native of Hamlet and has degrees from Peace College, Meredith College and N. C. State University. She talked about the importance of volunteering in the community. The work of volunteers has been calculated as worth $20.25 an hour, but the benefits to our area go far beyond that. She mentioned a few stories about how some of the member agencies have helped people in our town, such as a diabetic who was assisted at the Helping Hand Clinic and now had been able to return to work. This is the 50th year for the United Way program locally, and 26 partner agencies are funded so they may provide programs that help Sanford. It is estimated that over 25,000 people’s lives were affected in 2009 by their work. For being our speaker for the day, Hayes received one of the coveted Jonesboro Rotary pens She was then solicited to buy a raffle ticket, but deferred as she had already committed to buy one prior. Bob McConville mentioned the opportunity for anyone wishing to present a Rotary Scholarship at either Lee Coutny or Southern Lee awards ceremonies, as we will be giving these later this month. And finally, Doug Doris led the 4-Way Test and Pledge of Allegiance to end another good meeting.

C. and the Naval Academy, and a youth Christian event. Roberto enjoyed the Rotary Gala Night
