ECONOMY INFLATION RATE FALLS, A BOON TO BORROWERS

Consumer prices fell in April for the first time in more than a year. The figures released Wednesday were welcome news for people who qualify for loans and want to take on more debt. But low rates hurt savers, especially those on fixed incomes. Page 10A

Healing begins More than 1,200 family, friends and classmates pack civic center for memorial service By BILLY LIGGETT bliggett@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Cecil Mack stood before one of the largest gatherings the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center has ever seen Wednesday and recalled the day Josh Britt taught him how to “text.” The defensive coach for the Lee County Yellow Jackets’ varsity football squad known Britt around campus as “Coach Mock” (with an “O”), Mack said he and Britt chatted a lot by text messages after that, and he said he’ll never forget the last text he received from the smart, energetic 17-year-old junior. “Love you like a fat kid loves cake,” Mack said, causing more than a few smiles and laughs on an otherwise solemn day.

A standing-room only crowd of family and friends of Josh Britt watch as a photo slideshow of his life is shown. Britt, shown on the screen wearing the No. 9, was a well-known student and athlete at Lee County High School. More than 1,300 people — family, friends, classmates and strangers — packed the center and the hallway leading into it Wednesday to say good-bye to Britt, who was killed Friday night when his vehicle hit another car that was traveling south in a northbound lane on U.S. 1.

The other driver, 48-year-old Anthony Boswell of Sanford, was killed instantly as well. Police are still investigating the accident and whether or not Boswell was under the influence of alcohol at the time.

Leaders say deal with 3M saving water for county PITTSBORO — Regional officials are touting an industrial project that could save hundreds of thousands of gallons of drinkable water at a plant just north of Lee County. The project, according to Chatham County leaders, will route treated wastewater from Pittsboro to the 3M plant near the Chatham and Lee County line. Plant operators will use the reclaimed water to cool a granule roofing product created at the 3M facility and suppress dust clouds that make up an irritating byproduct of the work. All told, the initiative is expected to save between 125,000 and 200,000 gallons of potable water used every day at the 3M

PURYEAR RESIGNS AT SOUTHERN LEE By ALEX PODLOGAR

SANFORD — Budget deliberations began in earnest for the Sanford City Council Wednesday. Officials huddled for more than two hours on a proposed $40.5 million spending plan put forth by City Manager Hal Hegwer last week. Hegwer’s budget trims more than $800,000 in general fund expenditures from the current fiscal year’s budget and includes no increase on the city’s 54-cent property tax rate. Council members were lukewarm to the budget Wednesday, expressing concern about rising spending in some departments. Councilman Samuel Gaskins pointed to expenditure increases in risk management,

Today is Thursday, May 20, the 140th day of 2010. There are 225 days left in the year. This day in history: On May 20, 1961, a white mob attacked a busload of Freedom Riders in Montgomery, Ala., prompting the federal government to send in U.S. marshals to restore order. In 1506, explorer Christopher Columbus died in Spain. In 1861, North Carolina voted to secede from the Union. In 1902, the United States ended a three-year military presence in Cuba as the Republic of Cuba was established under its first elected president, Tomas Estrada Palma. In 1927, Charles Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field in Long Island, N.Y., aboard the Spirit of St. Louis on his historic solo flight to France. In 1932, Amelia Earhart took off from Newfoundland to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. In 1959, nearly 5,000 Japanese-Americans had their citizenship restored after renouncing it during World War II. In 1969, U.S. and South Vietnamese forces captured Ap Bia Mountain, referred to as “Hamburger Hill” by the Americans, following one of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War. In 1970, some 100,000 people demonstrated in New York’s Wall Street district in support of U.S. policy in Vietnam. In 1985, the FBI arrested John A. Walker Jr., who was later convicted of heading a spy ring for the Soviet Union.

DSS urges elder and disabled abuse prevention

PITTSBOROâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Chatham County Department of Social Services joins with Governor Beverly Perdue in recognizing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vulnerable Adult and Elder Abuse Awareness Monthâ&#x20AC;? through June 18, 2010. Residents can help prevent such abuse by being aware of and reporting suspected cases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like most areas, we have had rapid growth in our senior population. Sadly, we also are receiving a growing number of cases referred to us related to suspected elder as well as abuse of disabled adults,â&#x20AC;? said Ethel Farrell, adult services supervisor for DSS. Farrell said that the referrals are coming all social and economic classes, not just lower-income populations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are getting more referrals related to exploiting financial assets of the elderly and disabled,â&#x20AC;? Farrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reports often involve family members taking advantage of older parents, grandparents and other vulnerable adults. In some instances, they may be misusing their role as Power of Attorney.â&#x20AC;? Farrell said that in just the last month, DSS has received five reported cases of exploitation, including two cases where an adult child took motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Social Security check and failed to pay the cost of the motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facility care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both moms were under the threat of being discharged from the care facility.â&#x20AC;? Farrell urged residents to be mindful of potential signs of abuse of the elderly and disabled adults and to report them to DSS by calling (919) 542-2759. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; From staff reports

Politicians shooting themselves in the feet

he sentiment to “throw the bums out” during this year’s election cycle continues to gain steam. Sure, the economy’s a mess, unemployment is still staggering, the administration’s approval rate has plummeted and no matter what your political persuasion or leaning, it seems everyone has something about which to be upset. But even so, the bums are doing a pretty good job of disqualifying themselves for service by doing stupid things. Of course there’s anti-establishment fever, which finally caught up with five-term Sen. Arlen Specter, a staple on

Capitol Hill as long as most of us can remember. The Democrat (he became a Republican in 1965 but switched parties again last year) saw his bid for re-election sunk in a stunning primary loss Tuesday. Another Democratic Senator, Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, was forced into a runoff after a negative ad-laced campaign failed to decide a winner in the primary race. Specter and Lincoln can thank, among others, the 78 percent of Americans — according to a recent Pew Research Center survey — who distrust the government. People everywhere are

unhappy with politicians, regardless of which side of the aisle they sit. The self-inflicted wounds don’t help. Indiana Congressman Mark Souder, a Republican, resigned this week after admitting he’d had an affair. The eight-term House of Representatives member acknowledged an extramarital relationship with (as is the case all too frequently) a “part-time member of my staff.” Souder’s infidelity comes on the heels of scandals involving Mark Sanford, the governor of South Carolina, Sen. John Ensign of Nevada and Rep. Eric Massa of New York,

among others, who have either strayed from their marriage vows or committed another type of sexual indiscretion. (Not unlike many Democrats who face re-election, the conservative Souder was facing a difficult race to keep his seat anyway after narrowly winning his party’s primary.) It was also a tough week for a Senate candidate from Connecticut who is seeking to take the seat of Democratic Sen. Christopher Dodd, who’s not seeking re-election. Richard Blumenthal, his state’s attorney general, finally apologized after admitting he’d “misspoken” about his Vietnam

service. Blumenthal has faced criticism related to statements he’d made about his record of military service. In past appearances, he’s claimed he “served in Vietnam,” but it turns out what Blumenthal MEANT to say was that he served DURING Vietnam. He explained away the discrepancy as “a few misplaced words,” covering his bases by taking responsibility for what he said, but adding it wasn’t intentional. Holy cow. Is November really still almost six months away?

Finding good fits

efore long, Gov. Beverly Perdue will announce a plan to eliminate or merge some of the roughly 400 state boards and commissions. These commissions perform task that range from the controversial to the mundane. They set policy, adopt rules and oversee professional licensing. Seats on some, like the Board of Transportation or Wildlife Resources Commission, are highly coveted and attract well-heeled political donors. Sometimes the board members find themselves in the news. So, Perdue has put new ethics rules in place for her appointees to the boards. And now she is pledging to try to streamline the groups. With that in mind, I thought I’d give the governor a little advice on some possible board mergers that could prove logical fits. n The ABC Commission and the State Ethics Commission. Sure, the ethical challenges of local ABC boards might make this a good fit, but there’s a better reason to merge these two commissions. The ABC Commission controls the state’s liquor warehouse. Given all the ethical problems facing state government lately, no one needs a good, stiff drink more than State Ethics Commission members. ... n The State Banking Commission and the State Cemetery Commission. The FDIC has been stretched pretty thin lately shutting down failing banks. Perhaps the cemetery commission could step in to help bury a few. ... n The state Utilities Commission and the NC Arts Council. This could be Perdue’s attempt to placate conservatives. Anytime a state-supported art exhibit generated complaints about raciness, utilities commissioners could just dim the lights a bit. n The N.C. Real Estate Commission and N.C. Child Care Commission. Considering some home owners’ tendency to buy more home than they can afford, and the housing and mortgage industries’ encouragement of the practice, some babysitting seems to be in order. n The state Board of Transportation and the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission. This merger would have nothing to do with improved government efficiency. It would be part of campaign-finance reform. By trimming the two boards by half, money in political campaign around the state would probably fall by at least 50 percent. n The state Employment Security Commission and the Governor’s Advisory Council on Aging. Dealing with double-digit unemployment and seeing that borrowing from the feds pile up to pay unemployment benefits is bound to cause a few gray hairs. n The N.C. Medical Board and the Legislative Research Commission Advisory Subcommittee on Offshore Energy Exploration. Anyone who still believes oil drilling off the North Carolina coast is a good idea probably needs their head examined.

The era of austerity F

ollowing decades of welfare state comfort and years of Keynesian stimulus spending, Europe is seeing the panicky arrival of austerity politics. Resentful debtors such as Greece, Spain and Portugal are being forced into tax increases and spending cuts that are painful, unpopular — and just beginning. Their resentful citizens throw tantrums and sometimes rocks at police. Resentful creditors such as Germany provide bailouts while wondering why they ever shackled themselves (and the value of their currency) to such irresponsible governments. Those not resentful are scared. Great Britain — with a deficit that is higher as a percentage of its economy than Greece’s — has formed a coalition government united by little except a commitment to budget responsibility. The constitutional innovation of keeping the current Parliament for the next five years is designed to assure creditors and markets that David Cameron’s government will be stable enough to make difficult fiscal choices. Every looming budget crisis is eventually a political test — a test of political foresight and discipline, or a test of crisis management. And America is not exempt. In 2009, the federal government spent $1.67 for every $1 it collected in taxes. The Obama administration’s budget proposals would dramatically increase publicly held debt as a percentage of the economy over the next decade, eventually slowing economic growth, fueling inflation and making America more dependent on the kindness of creditors. How has our political system responded so far? Congress recently found $60 billion in savings in the federal student-loan program — and promptly spent most of it on other education projects. President Obama’s health care reform cut more than $350 billion from Medicare spending — and soaked up all of it and more into new health entitlements. This can go on only for so long before a challenge more similar to Britain’s becomes a fate more similar to Greece’s. America is about to enter its own period of austerity, which is likely to be the dominant political reality for the next decade. The new game will have few winners and many losers. If the federal government takes spending reductions seriously, the first wave of austerity would hit the states and public employees. An infusion of cash from last year’s stimulus package temporarily masked the unsustainable fiscal condition of many states. But there will be no more stimulus packages. Some of the largest states — California, New York — are on the verge of default. And they will only achieve major spending reductions by cutting their pension and public employee compensation systems. This would set up a serious battle between state governments and the labor movement, since a majority of union workers today are public employees. Democratic governors, elected with union support, would be in for a particularly interesting time.

It would be remiss if I did not send a letter to The Herald expressing my gratitude toward those who made a lasting impression on my family while I lived in Sanford for only two years. Having lived in many regions of the United States, I sure have some notes to compare on the quality of life in each place. I can attest that Sanford has some of the friendliest, kindest and most compassionate people I have had the pleasure to meet. Among the most noteworthy are the folks at Lee Christian School. Dr. Stephen Coble and his devoted team of Christian educators and caregivers are an outstanding group of individuals. Their dedication to children and Christian-based curriculum is truly outstanding. Thank you all for what you have done for my family over the past two years. You will be deeply missed and will hold a place in our hearts. KAREN E. ELWOOD Boulder, Colorado

Web comments Michael Gerson Columnist Michael Gerson is a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group

In austerity politics, another group of likely losers is middle-class Americans currently in their 40s. There can be no serious reduction in federal spending without entitlement reform. Social Security and Medicare eventually will need to be transformed from middle-class entitlements given because of age to entitlements given to those with lower incomes. In any entitlement reform, Americans at or near retirement will probably be exempt. Young people will have decades to prepare for a new entitlement structure. Middle-aged, middle-class people may be caught, well, in the middle. And the biggest losers may be responsible politicians who take these realities seriously. Necessary changes will not resemble the relatively painless deficit reduction deals of 1990 or 1993. This round may require not only the means testing of Social Security and Medicare but the reduction or elimination of middle-class entitlements such as the mortgage interest deduction and the employer health care exclusion. Some politicians may be asked to sacrifice their careers for an important cause. Because of the difficulties, it is possible that the federal government will not be serious about spending cuts. Public employees and the middle-class elderly, after all, are powerful voting groups. The alternative is to attempt deficit reduction primarily through tax increases — perhaps an additional consumption or value-added tax. But this approach would involve a massive shift of resources from the private sector to the public sector, making many people poorer for the benefit of favored political constituencies. To sustain expansive public commitments, Americans would be asked to accept lower economic growth and weaker job creation. And middle-class voters may not like higher taxes any more than reduced benefits. An austerity era is a miserable, thankless time to serve in politics — but also an important one.

Thoughts from readers on stories found at sanfordherald.com

RE: Pfizer to cut 400 jobs I think this was Pfizer’s plan to begin with. Eliminate Wyeth, get rid of any competition. Take their products and close their facilities. Way to go for the people on top who got their pockets padded for the transition. Meanwhile, the rest of the workforce will be scrounging for whatever jobs are left to be had. My question is how is it possible for this to happen? Why are large companies being allowed to get larger and shut down their competitors? Didn’t AT&T get scroutinized in the ‘80’s for becoming a monopoly? Seems like the same thing should happen here. — jermnc77

RE: City approves water, sewer fees If the sewer plant needs expansion (doubtfull) why raise the Water fees? Because they can shift the cost to out of city users of water that don’t use the sewer system at all and there isn’t much we can do about it. They said the last time they increased out of city rates that it was to bring “district” fees into line. Did they do so? Not that I can see. — Townsend

Puryear Continued from Page 1A

Puryear was hired in June 2009 after the abrupt 363-day tenure of Bill Maczko, getting a firm endorsement from Lee County Schools Superintendent Jeff Moss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He comes with some positive features that we believe will impact the school in a positive manner,â&#x20AC;? Moss said of Puryear that summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just in wins and losses, but also in the way heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carried himself in his career so far.â&#x20AC;? Puryear came to Southern Lee after successful stops as a position coach and coordinator at the small college level. He has a business degree from N.C. Central University and a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in business administration from Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Mo., where he served as a graduate assistant coach. The plan was for him to earn his teaching certification via lateral entry. At the same time, he was asked to begin the rebuilding of a football program that fell apart after two playoff appearances in its first two varsity seasons. The improvement, though, would have to be judged in ways other than wins and losses. Southern Lee played a brutal nonconference schedule before embarking in the realigned Cape Fear Valley Conference. The result was a winless season in which the Cavaliers struggled mightily on both sides of the ball, though the team closed with a competitive 10-0 loss to Union Pines in the season finale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys make the game fun for me,â&#x20AC;? Puryear said before the end of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anybody that gets the opportunity to play football and uses it not just as something to do, but as something to try to do well in and to excel in and get better at, that means everything to me.â&#x20AC;?

Following the season, which ended without the public criticism that came the previous offseason, Puryear helped out with the wrestling program and was the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; track and field coach in the spring, helping the 4x200-meter relay team qualify for the state 3-A meet. But on March 22, a job posting for the Southern Lee head football coaching position appeared on the state jobs board online, prompting a reaction of surprise from Puryear and caution from Southern Lee Principal Bonnie Almond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The advertisement put on the Web site is cautionary and due to the terms of (Puryearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) contract and the requirements heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to meet by June 14,â&#x20AC;? Almond said. Citing personnel issues, Almond did not give specifics as to what the requirements were. But Puryear noted that they had to do with his teaching certification, and said that the dates of the licensure deadline were up for debate. Puryear said in April that he believed he had until June 30 to receive his teaching certification, and added that he was on track to complete his coursework by then. But he contended that the administration first told him the deadline was June 1, and that the date changed again upon Almondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comment to The Herald. Puryear also said that the first he heard of the June 14

date was when he read The Heraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That would not be my field of expertise,â&#x20AC;? Almond said of the deadline debate in April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since I am the principal I do not handle licensures. The requirements would be handled by the state.â&#x20AC;? Puryearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with the school continued to sour from there. After a meeting with Almond and Assistant Athletic Director Tammy Batten, Puryear said he left with the feeling that his days at Southern Lee were numbered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to (be the coach), but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t envision it, no,â&#x20AC;? he said on April 8. Six weeks later, amid internet rumors that the school was deep into the interview process and that a new hire might be imminent, Puryear said he chose to step away. School officials have not commented on his departure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did appreciate my time spent in Sanford and I know that I was appreciated by the kids,â&#x20AC;? Puryear said on Tuesday, the 1-year anniversary of the day Maczkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaving of the program was confirmed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The upside for the program is tremendous with the right coach and the right people around that coach.â&#x20AC;? It was a loud cry from his words 11 months earlier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a good year. Trust me,â&#x20AC;? Puryear said on June 18, 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a good thing.â&#x20AC;?

plant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking down the road to the future, but this is the first step toward what could be a county and perhaps regional reused water network,â&#x20AC;? said Pittsboro Mayor Randy Voller. Voller said he has stumped for using reclaimed water since he was elected in November 2005, around the time that locals labored under a rain-starved drought that created stringent water restrictions. Environmentalists point to reclaimed water as a green-friendly way to save, especially in drought-impacted regions. The process involves the removal of solids and impurities from wastewater and funneling of the cleaned product back into the system for irrigation or industrial uses. The 3M plant started using reclaimed water for its work over the last month, although principal

players in the decadelong planning process will have a project dedication Saturday. Nearly $2.6 million of work, including a 500,000 gallon reclaimed water storage tank south of Pittsboro and a 315 gallon per minute reclaimed water pump station, was funded through grants from the N.C. Department of Commerce, the state-backed Clean Water Management Trust Fund and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 3M footed the bill for equipment modifications to transport the reused water. Voller said the project has been in the works with contributions from Chatham County government and economic development officials, as well as 3M. The international company creates a variety of products, although the reclaimed water in Pittsboro will go toward cooling heated granules for roofing before they are stored. Voller said Pittsboro has never entered into a project for reclaimed water before, although he said years of sparse rainfall made it a necessity for officials to seek out ways to save water. Voller said he hopes to one day make the 3M project part of a larger web of pumping reclaimed water for usage in other parts of Chatham County and eventually Lee County and Sanford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have the backbone of a robust reused water network,â&#x20AC;? he said. Voller said he has had

brief conversations with local leaders like Sanford Mayor Cornelia Olive on the topic, although there have been no official conversations of speeding such a regional partnership. Olive said Sanford already uses treated wastewater to irrigate the city-run Sanford Municipal Golf Course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to do this,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very conscious of the savings, especially on golf courses.â&#x20AC;? Olive said the Sanford City Council has talked of implementing reclaimed water for more uses in the past, although those conversations have waned of late. She said the expense of initiating such an overhaul, including the installation and usage of new pumping lines that keep the treated wastewater separate from the rest of the water system, give leaders pause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not anything that you would do hurriedly and cavalierly,â&#x20AC;? Olive said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you would have to make a conscious decision to do.â&#x20AC;? If the money is there, however, Olive indicated she would back a regional system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a plausible, reasonable, economical thing to do,â&#x20AC;? she said. Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedication will be held at the 3M plant, located off of U.S. 15-501 about five miles south of Pittsboro, at 10 a.m. Officials from Chatham County, Pittsboro, 3M and the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources will be on hand.

ing some extra costs are out of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s control such as state-mandated increases in retirement expenses. Cardinali said departments also have varying budget sizes, meaning an assessment of percentage increases for one branch with $50,000 budgeted isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the same as in a department with $1 million alotted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apples to oranges,â&#x20AC;? she said.

egy to slash recurring expenses in Sanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget during the recession. Meanwhile, Councilman Charles Taylor asked for a breakdown of city employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pay scales, one week after Mayor Pro Tem Mike Stone called for a sliding scale on Hegwerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed cost-of-living increases for workers. Hegwer put forth a 2.5 percent pay increase across the board for employees, but Stone pointed out 2.5 percent doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean as much to workers making $30,000 a year as it does to those earning $100,000. Under Stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion, those making less money should have an increased percentage alotted for their cost-ofliving raise. More budget talks are expected early next week for the City Council, which must have a final plan approved before the July 1 start of the 20102011 fiscal year. A full copy of Hegwerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed budget can be found at the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government Web site, located at www.sanfordnc. net.

Treating the Overweight Pet Most people know that obesity is a problem for the human race, but what about our pets? The fact is recent research indicates at least 40 percent of the American pet population is overweight. Dogs and cats could be following the poor exercise and eating habits of their owners. Obesity is just as much a problem for pets as it is for people, only it can be harder to detect in animals. Extra pounds strain organs and put pressure on joints and ligaments. Discomfort could cause a pet to become even more inactive -Here are just some of the problems that can be attributed to an overweight pet. s $IABETES s *OINT AND OTHER SKELETAL STRESS s 2ESPIRATORY PROBLEMS s 0OOR STAMINA s $IGESTIVE PROBLEMS s #OMPROMISED LIVER FUNCTION s 5RINARY TRACT INFECTIONS s 0OOR QUALITY OF LIFE AND DECREASED longevity s 3KIN AND FUR PROBLEMS s )NTOLERANCE TO HEAT Oftentimes people treat their pets as members of the family, and push poor habits on to the animals. A dog or a cat in the wild would know to eat when hungry. However, in the climate-controlled world OF THE HOME THEY CAN QUICKLY BECOME accustomed to feeding on demand, especially if their diet is supplemented with a lot of treats. Treats should make up no more than 10 percent of a petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diet say veterinarians. They should be given sparingly, and can even be eliminated if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re high in calories. Try substituting raw carrots or apple slices instead of calorie-laden biscuits. 3IMPLY CUTTING BACK ON THE AMOUNT of food your pet eats may not be the answer. He or she may be missing out on essential nutrients this way. Rather, consult with your vet to ďŹ nd out what type of diet would be best for your pet. A recommended food could be the key. %XERCISE IS IMPORTANT FOR PETS 0LAYING with your dog or cat and taking dogs for walks will reduce your pets weight and improve their health. Remember, just as in humans, weight gain may not be just a side-effect of poor EATING AND EXERCISE HABITS )T COULD BE a signal of an underlying medical issue. Therefore, if you are concerned about your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weight, consult with a veterinarian ďŹ rst. He or she can run blood work and other tests to determine if there is a health condition contributing to the obesity. Develop a program with your vet that is designed for your pet which will help get your pet back on a healthy path.

SANFORD, NORTH CAROLINA

HEADACHES Within a matter of several weeks, the treatment my son received at Ammons Chiropractic ended his severe headaches. All through childhood, my son experienced occasional headaches, usually occurring suddenly, and sometimes severe enough that sleep provided the only relief. At age 15, he began to have headaches more frequently, sometimes several times in a day, and three to four times a week. Conventional medical blood tests revealed no clues, an eye exam and an MRI showed nothing abnormal, but the headaches continued. My son could feel a difference seconds after the ďŹ rst treatment, and within two weeks experienced no more of the debilitating head pain. He also has peace of mind instead of fear of a headache striking at any time.

After seeing the beneďŹ ts to my son, I also received orthogonal treatment for neck pain and tightness, a sensation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;crimpingâ&#x20AC;? that I never seemed able to stretch out, and which had plagued me for probably 25 years. One treatment was all it took to relieve the neck tightness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and after a year, my neck remains comfortable and correctly aligned.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY

STATE BRIEFS the conviction and courage shown by Marshall, North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secretary of state, even as Democratic officials in Washington put their support behind the other remaining candidate, Cal Cunningham. He praised Marshall for her ability to organize grass roots support and to appeal to a broad range of voters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that to win this fall, Democrats will have to do both,â&#x20AC;? Lewis said, as Marshall and her supporters stood nearby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Secretary Marshall provides us with a demonstrably stronger opportunity to do just that.â&#x20AC;?

Lawmakers push small businesses with tax breaks

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina legislators desperate to show theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing all they can to boost job creation are offering small businesses new tax breaks and other help in the hope it will lead to new hiring. A state House committee on Wednesday approved what its sponsor called the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first broad attempt to help small businesses create jobs. The plan would allow businesses with 25 full-time employees or fewer to take a $1,000 tax credit for every job created and kept for three years. Businesses also could get a break to help pay the health benefits of employees earning less than $40,000. A University of North Carolina researcher whose report last year found the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business incentives programs largely ineffective said this proposal is better at targeting tax breaks.

Another mental health division leader to leave RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Another leader in North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mental health division is leaving. Health and Human Services Secretary Lanier Cansler announced on Wednesday management changes that put Dr. Mike Lancaster out as chief of clinical policy for the Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services. Cansler gave no reason for the departure. Lancaster has been on the job since 2004. Cansler said Tuesday that division director Leza Wainwright would retire and be replaced by John Tote, previously the executive director of the Mental Health Association in North Carolina.

Lewis said he was particularly impressed with

Senate give $19 billion budget OK By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The state Senate gave tentative approval Wednesday to a nearly $19 billion plan to run North Carolina state government for the coming year that largely gave public education a break from the worst cuts at the expense of health care and other programs. The chamber voted 3217 in favor of a plan that closes what Democratic leaders call a projected 4 percent revenue shortfall. All Democrats present joined three Republicans in support of the adjustments rolled out on the floor only a week after the Legislature convened this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s session. Speakers used the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;painâ&#x20AC;? several times during the nearly two-hour debate about a budget that would trim expenses in dozens of agencies and reduce spending in the Department of Health and Human Services by 9 percent compared to what had already been approved for the new year. Local school districts and the University of North Carolina system also would receive authority to furlough teachers and other employees to help avoid the potential loss of 1,600 jobs.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one wants to be furloughed,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. A.B. Swindell, D-Nash, one of the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief budgetwriters, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;I promise that we will all feel our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pain.â&#x20AC;? The Senate will give its final approval Thursday before sending it to the House, whose leaders are aiming to get its version approved by June 3. It would give lawmakers roughly three weeks to negotiate a final plan and send it to Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue before the new fiscal year begins July 1. The budget would trim the second year of the two-year spending plan approved last summer by nearly $600 million and spend $187 million less than Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget offer last month. The changes are designed to narrow a projected budget gap of $800 million to $1 billion caused by flagging state revenues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We keep North Carolina sound fiscally,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Linda Garrou, DForsyth, another budgetwriter. But Republicans contend the budget actually increases government spending when compared to actual state spending for this year when up to 5 percent was held back by Perdue. It also fails to

prepare the state for the loss of more than $1 billion in stimulus funds in 2011 by freezing spending at current levels, said Senate Minority Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just put a BandAid on a bleeding artery,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Bob Rucho, R-Mecklenburg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to think this is Christmas time compared to what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be facing.â&#x20AC;? Still, GOP Sens. Fletcher Hartsell of Cabarrus County, Stan Bingham of Davidson County and Richard Stevens of Wake County voted for the budget bill. The three voted for the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of the budget last year, too. Overall, the public schools would see a 3 percent reduction, or about $219 million less to a budget of $7.1 billion. The Senate plan doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eliminate a requirement that school districts locate another $80 million in cuts. And budget writers declined to accept Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to expand the cuts by a combined $215 million. There would be no pay raises for teachers and other state employees for a second straight year. Perdue got less than half of the $39 million

she sought for expanding the use of hand-held computers by teachers in elementary schools. Senate Democrats rejected a Republican amendment that would have taken most of the $15 million set aside for Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer effort and funneled it to eliminate a one-year moratorium on new school bus purchases. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest teacher lobbying group said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfair that UNC system spending will stay essentially flat and the community college system got 5 percent to pay for a surge in enrollment while public schools took a cut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The budget just fails to fund schools first,â&#x20AC;? North Carolina Association of Educators Vice President Rodney Ellis said. The bill contains no broad tax increases but keeps in place higher temporary sales and income taxes approved last year. It generates $22.2 million in new and additional court criminal fees and set aside $50 million for businessrelated tax breaks, most of which would cut the tax rate for owners of small businesses from 7.75 percent to the 6.9 percent rate paid by corporations.

Inventors say BP ignoring their ideas

NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A suggestion box or publicity stunt? BP has received thousands of ideas from the public on how to stop the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, but some inventors are complaining that their efforts are getting ignored. Oil-eating bacteria, bombs and a device that resembles a giant shower curtain are among the 10,000 fixes people have proposed to counter the growing environmental threat. BP is taking a closer look at 700 of the ideas, but the oil company has yet to use any of them nearly a month after the deadly explosion that caused the leak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re clearly out of ideas, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole world of people willing to do this free of charge,â&#x20AC;? said Dwayne Spradlin, CEO of InnoCentive Inc., which has created an online network of experts to solve problems.

Salt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not just a PR stunt.â&#x20AC;? BP said Wednesday it hopes to begin shooting a mixture known as drilling mud into the blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico by Sunday. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;top killâ&#x20AC;? method involves shooting heavy mud into crippled equipment on top of the well, then aiming cement at the well to permanently keep down the oil. Even if it works it could take several weeks to complete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is all being done at a depth of 5,000 feet and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been done

at these depths before,â&#x20AC;? said Doug Suttles of BP PLC, which leased the rig that exploded April 20 off the coast of Louisiana. If the top kill effort fails, BP is considering a â&#x20AC;&#x153;junk shot,â&#x20AC;? which involves shooting knotted rope, pieces of tires and golf balls into the blowout preventer. Crews hope they will lodge into the nooks and crannies of the device to plug it. About 70 BP workers are taking more suggestions at a tip line center in Houston. The company plans to test one idea from actor Kevin Costner

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a centrifuge device to vacuum up the oil â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but that was not delivered through the suggestionbox system. Thousands of barrels of oil are still pouring into open waters each day, and some of it has washed ashore as far east as Alabama. Tar balls found in the Florida Keys were not from the spill, the Coast Guard said Wednesday. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists said a small portion of the oil slick from the blown-out well has reached a powerful current that could take it to Florida. They said diluted oil could appear in isolated locations in Florida if persistent winds push the current toward it, but that oil could evaporate before reaching the coast. The U.S. and Cuba were holding talks on how to respond to the spill, U.S. State Department spokesman Gordon Duguid said, underscoring worries that the oil might reach Cubaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northern coast.

Obama renews push for federal immigration law WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Confronting soaring frustration over illegal immigration, President Barack Obama on Wednesday condemned Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crackdown and pushed instead for a federal fix the nation could embrace. He said that will never happen without Republican support, pleading: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I need some help.â&#x20AC;? In asking anew for an immigration overhaul, Obama showed solidarity with his guest of honor, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who called Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law discriminatory and warned Mexico would reject any effort to â&#x20AC;&#x153;criminalize migration.â&#x20AC;? The United States and Mexico share a significant economic and political relationship that stands to be damaged the more the nations are at odds over immigration, which affects millions of people on both sides of the border. Obama said that would require solving border security, employment and citizenship issues all at once â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the kind of effort that collapsed in Congress just three years ago.

Both parties rush to embrace primary lessons WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dazed and confused. The biggest primary night of the season left the two parties struggling Wednesday to figure out their next steps in an increasingly volatile

election year. House Republicans tried to explain their costly defeat in a special election in Pennsylvania, a contest they had hoped would launch them toward big gains in Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midterm elections. President Barack Obama failed for a fifth time to push Democratic choices to victory, a troubling sign for the White House. Despite the White House support, Sen. Blanche Lincoln was forced into a runoff with union-backed Lt. Gov. Bill Halter in Arkansas and is clinging to her political life. Arlen Specter saw his long Senate career end altogether with Joe Sestakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination in Pennsylvania. Tea party activists scored a big victory in Kentucky, rejecting Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand-picked GOP nominee â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Trey Grayson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other Senate seat in favor of political upstart Rand Paul.

4th member of Midwest militia gets out of jail DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A fourth member of a Midwest militia accused of plotting to overthrow the government was released from jail Wednesday after prosecutors said they were confident that the strict conditions under which he was set free would ensure the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety. Kristopher Sickles of Sandusky, Ohio, will be electronically monitored 24 hours a day, like three other members of the Hutaree militia who were released under the same conditions Tuesday.

WHITE HOUSE STATE DINNER

SHOW BUSINESS

Star chef tweets about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;day of creationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Wal-Mart pulls Miley Cyrus jewelry over cadmium

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Got my fingers crossed there are no hitches.â&#x20AC;? And with that tweet, Rick Bayless, a Chicago chef adored by President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama for his way with Mexican food, dashed to the White House to finish preparations for Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state dinner for Mexican President Felipe Calderon and his wife, Margarita Zavala. The same could be said for the entire White House staff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; anxious to pull off a flawless event after Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first state dinner six months ago was overshadowed by an uninvited husband-andwife couple who somehow slipped through security. About 200 guests have coveted invitations for the four-course dinner in the East Room, including New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who planned to attend. A larger group will be treated to dessert and after-dinner entertainment inside a big white tent on the South Lawn. Grammy Award winner Beyonce and the Mexican singing duo of Rodrigo y Gabriela were set to perform. Bayless, guest chef for the dinner at the invitation of Mrs. Obama, arrived in Washington two

Dinner will open with a salad of jicama with oranges, grapefruit and pineapple, followed by herb green seviche of Hawaiian opah. The main course of Oregon wagyu beef will be served in a Oaxacan black mole sauce that Bayless says uses more than 20 ingredients and takes days to come together. Grilled green beans and black bean tamalon will accompany the main course. Chocolate cajeta tart with toasted homemade marshmallows will be served for dessert, along with a graham cracker crumble made with honey from the White House beehive and goat cheese ice cream.

Herbs, radishes and lettuces from Mrs. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden on the South Lawn were used for the meal. The two presidents and their wives will sit at a rectangular head table, with guests at a mix of rectangular and round tables draped in three shades of Mayan blue that simulate rippling water. Bouquets of fuchsia flowers, including roses and orchids, and prickly pear cactus were made into centerpieces. Guests will eat off from the Clinton china. Actors Whoopi Goldberg, Eva Longoria Parker and George Lopez were among the celebrities expected to attend. Another 104 guests will join the party for after-dinner entertain-

ment in a tent decked out with tiered seating and a dance floor. Guests walking into the room will get the feel of Monarch butterflies in flight. The White House said that decor was chosen to honor Calderonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthplace of Michoacan, Mexico, where the butterflyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual migration from Canada ends each spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;GR8 cooking w WH staff yesterday,â&#x20AC;? Bayless tweeted early Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remarkable their organization, knowledge of protocol.â&#x20AC;? That protocol, by the way, includes no tweets from the White House kitchen. That resulted in a pre-dinner kerfuffle when the Chicago Sun Times reported that Bayless wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be allowed to tweet from the kitchen. He twittered a retort: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I NEVER Tweet from WH, which I KNOW is not permitted. Apology?â&#x20AC;? Baylessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; upscale contemporary Mexican restaurant Topolobampo in the Obamasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Chicago hometown is one of their favorites. In an interview with The Associated Press prior to the dinner, he described his role as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;huge deal because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely outside of the normal things that I do, the normal places Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be asked to cook.â&#x20AC;?

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wal-Mart said Wednesday it is pulling an entire line of Miley Cyrus-brand necklaces and bracelets from its shelves after tests performed for The Associated Press found the jewelry contained high levels of the toxic metal cadmium. In a statement issued three hours after APâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial report of its findings, WalMart said it would remove Cyrus the jewelry, made exclusively for the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest retailer, while it investigates. The statement was issued along with Cyrus and Max Azria, the designer who developed the jewelry for the 17-year-old â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hannah Montanaâ&#x20AC;? star. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. had learned of cadmium in the Mylie Cyrus jewelry, as well as in an unrelated line of bracelet charms, back in February, based on an earlier round of tests by a chemistry professor, but had continued selling the items. It said as recently as last month that it would be too difficult to test products already on its shelves.

In its statement, WalMart did not say whether it would also remove the bracelet charms. Exactly how many of the items have been sold was unclear. The charms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also available exclusively at Walmart stores â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were sold under the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fashion Accessories,â&#x20AC;? though Walmart has not said when they began appearing on shelves. The Miley Cyrus jewelry first hit stores in December. Long-term exposure to cadmium can lead to bone softening and kidney failure. It is also a known carcinogen, and research suggests that it can, like lead, hinder brain development in the very young. Cadmium in jewelry is not known to be dangerous if the items are simply worn. Concerns come when youngsters bite or suck on the jewelry, as many children are apt to do. In the statement, WalMart said that while the jewelry is not intended for children, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is possible that a few younger consumers may seek it out in stores.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are removing all of the jewelry from sale while we investigate its compliance with our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jewelry standard,â&#x20AC;? Wal-Mart said. That was a reference to a policy Wal-Mart voluntarily implemented last month, under which suppliers are required to prove their products contain little cadmium, or else Wal-Mart would not accept the items. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy of not checking products already on the shelves appears to have changed: In its statement, Wal-Mart said it reviewed childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jewelry and pulled â&#x20AC;&#x153;the few products that did notâ&#x20AC;? comply with its new testing regimen. To judge the availability of pieces that Wal-Mart has known were contaminated, AP dispatched reporters throughout the country last month to search for and buy any of 13 items. Three of those were Miley Cyrus jewelry; the rest were from the line of bracelet charms. The packaging said they were made in China; all were bought for $6 or less. All but one of the 13 were on store shelves in the eight states where AP reporters looked.

Inflation vanishes, a boon for borrowers

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Inflation has essentially disappeared, and that gives the Federal Reserve more room to keep interest rates at record lows. Consumer prices fell in April for the first time in more than a year. The figures released Wednesday were welcome news for people who qualify for loans and want to take on more debt. But low rates hurt savers, especially those on fixed incomes. The Fed now appears more likely to keep rates at record-low levels well into next year, economists say. Some had

thought it would start increasing rates at the end of this year. Paul Ashworth, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said he thinks the Fed wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start raising rates until late next year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and possibly not until 2012. Declining gas prices pulled overall prices down 0.1 percent last month. Gas prices are predicted to sink lower still this summer. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was flat in April. Over the past 12 months, it has risen just

PUBLIC NOTICE The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA-Part B, Public Law 108.446) Project is presently being amended. The project describes the special education programs that Lee County Schools proposes for Federal funding for 2010-2011 School Year. Interested persons are encouraged to review amendments to the Project and make comments concerning the implementation of special education under this Federal Program.

0.9 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the smallest increase in 44 years. The weakness of the economy has kept inflation so low that some economists are beginning to worry about the possibility of deflation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a destabilizing period of falling prices and wages. Normally, if interest rates are kept too low for too long, it raises fears of inflation. But not now, with inflation having disappeared. Those low rates could provide some protection to the U.S. economy if the European debt crisis were to spread globally. The Fedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record-low rates influence rates charged to consumers. The prime lending rate used by major banks to set rates on some credit cards and consumer loans will remain at about 3.25 percent. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s its lowest point in decades. Economists had expected overall prices and core prices to edge up 0.1 percent in April. The drop in overall prices was the

first decline since a similar dip in March 2009. Energy prices fell 1.4 percent, the biggest one-month decline since March 2009. Gasoline prices dropped 2.4 percent. Analysts expect further declines in coming months because crude oil prices have fallen nearly 20 percent since April. Food costs rose 0.2 percent in April, the same modest increase posted in March. Economists had expected a bigger increase because of a winter freeze on Florida vegetable and citrus crops. Clothing costs dropped 0.7 percent. The cost of new vehicles was unchanged. Airline tickets rose 2.2 percent, one of the few areas to show price pressures last month. The sluggish economy has made most businesses reluctant to raise prices, said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors.

Republicans vote to delay final action on financial regulation WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Senate Republicans voted Wednesday to delay final action on a sweeping financial regulation bill, raising an obstacle to the legislation as it approached the home stretch. The vote was 57-42, three votes shy of the 60 needed to pass. Three Democrats joined 39 Republicans in voting against the measure. Among them was Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who switched his vote from yes for procedural reasons. Reid said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seek a new vote Thursday. With Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., absent, Democrats needed one more vote to demonstrate to Republicans that they would eventually prevail and set the stage to pass the biggest rewrite of financial regulations since the Great Depression. 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 President Barack Obama. Republicans this week have escalated their attacks on the legislation, arguing the bill had grown worse and did not address root causes of the 2008 financial meltdown.

go off, people familiar with the probe said Wednesday. Faisal Shahzad said he considered attacking Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center in midtown Manhattan, the World Financial Center near ground zero and Sikorsky Inc. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a defense contractor with an office in his Connecticut hometown â&#x20AC;&#x201D; before deciding to abandon an SUV rigged with a homemade bomb in Times Square on May 1, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. A person familiar with the case said Wednesday that during more than two weeks of questioning, the PakistaniAmerican also expressed surprise that the device â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a mishmash of fireworks, gasoline canisters, propane tanks and fertilizer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; did not detonate. The suspect said he thought the fireworks would trigger a chain-reaction that would rupture the tanks and create a deadly fireball, the person said. Shahzad, who authorities say has claimed he received explosives training in Pakistan, even asked interrogators to explain why the device failed. Shahzad left the vehicle on West 45th Street on a spring Saturday evening amid hundreds of people enjoying the tourist haven, prosecutors said. The attempted bombing prompted a massive police response, but no one was hurt.

Octuplets mother unveils PETA spay or neuter sign LA HABRA, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official. Octomom Nadya Suleman doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want your dog or cat following in her footsteps. As a front yard full of paparazzi cheered her on, Suleman unveiled a 3-foot-by-4-foot plastic sign Wednesday that reads: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Let Your Dog or Cat Become an Octomom. Always Spay or Neuter.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Turn left. Pose. Smile, Nadya,â&#x20AC;? photographers jockeying for position shouted as Suleman stood in front of the sign. A few curious onlookers stopped to watch as a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals mascot (a person in a dog suit) gave her a hug. PETA is paying Suleman $5,000 to keep the sign on her front door until June 9, the deadline when city officials say it must be removed. The organization is also throwing in a monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supply of veggie hot dogs and burgers for her and her 14 children. Suleman, 34, acknowledged she put the sign on her door partly for the money but added her support of PETA is sincere.

NASCAR PLACES BOWYER ON PROBATION DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer has been placed on probation until June 16 for aggressive driving. The penalty stems from a late-race incident between Bowyer and Denny Hamlin in last weekend’s Nationwide race at Dover. Bowyer and Hamlin were battling for position during a late restart when Hamlin clipped Bowyer, forcing him to pit. Hamlin called the bump “unintentional,” but Bowyer raced out of the pits and slammed into Hamlin. Bowyer’s No. 21 car was parked immediately by NASCAR officials and he finished 24th. Hamlin wound up 12th. The probation covers all three of NASCAR’s major series. Bowyer is a regular on the Sprint Cup Series and drives occasionally on the Nationwide circuit.

NFL FAVRE, CHILDRESS TEXTING, NOT ‘TALKING’

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Vikings coach Brad Childress says he doesn’t have an update from Brett Favre about his playing status for next season, or a possible surgery on his injured left ankle. Childress was asked by reporters for the latest word on Favre following practice on Wednesday. The Minnesota coach said he hasn’t spoken with the 40-year-old quarterback recently. Childress says he has exchanged text messages with Favre during the offseason, but insisted that “texting is not talking.” Last month, Favre issued a statement on his personal website about the injury. He said his condition “is not debilitating” and that surgery is only one factor in his decision whether to play.

MLB RED SOX PLACE BECKETT ON DL WITH BACK STRAIN

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox have placed Josh Beckett on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain. Manager Terry Francona said Wednesday he hoped the righthander would miss just one start and that Tim Wakefield would pitch in his place Sunday at Philadelphia. Righty reliever Joe Nelson was called up from Triple-A Pawtucket. Beckett left Boston’s 7-6 win Tuesday night at New York after a two-run double to Robinson Cano with two outs in the fifth. The Yankees played the game under protest after Beckett was replaced by Manny Delcarmen. Pitching coach John Farrell had signaled for Delcarmen before Francona and a trainer went to the mound.

Delhomme starting over with Browns

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Before leaving the practice field, Cleveland’s new starting quarterback looked up and noticed the sky was Carolina blue. Jake Delhomme felt at home. Eager to erase the memories of a miserable final season with the Panthers, Delhomme is relishing a fresh start with the Browns, who signed the highly respected 35-yearold veteran to a two-year free agent Delhomme contract in March. Delhomme’s boyish exuberance, strong work ethic and professionalism have already made a strong impression on his new coaches and teammates. “I don’t like making comparisons, but I will,” Browns coach Eric Mangini said Wednesday. “He reminds me a little bit of (Brett) Favre that way. He enjoys practice. He enjoys being around the guys. He’s able to be serious and still keep things light. He has a good rapport with the offensive guys, defensive guys and you just see it in their interaction in the weight room and all the different areas. It’s positive, really positive.” And positive has been in short supply around the Browns in recent years — especially at quarterback. Delhomme isn’t making any guarantees on what he’ll deliver for Cleveland, coming off a turbulent 5-11 season. Any talk of Super Bowls is for down the road. But Delhomme promises to do all he can to make the Browns better. “I play this game for one reason and one reason only: to win,” said Delhomme, entering his 14th NFL season. “That’s what’s this game’s about. There’s something about walking into the locker room after a game, those 10 minutes when it’s just the coaches and the players, there’s nothing greater. There’s nothing greater than seeing a mission accomplished from the work you’ve put in. That’s why I play this game. “I just want to help this team win.”

May once was kind to Hornish By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer

DOVER, Del. — Sam Hornish Jr. has always found his way in May. In the open wheel series, he won the Indianapolis 500. In NASCAR, he’s twice raced his way into the All-Star race. But that May success hasn’t translated into prestige victories — and results — since Hornish made the full-time shift to stock cars in 2008. Though the Indy 500 win in 2006 Hornish Jr. catapulted to him to one of his three open-wheel titles, his non-points win last season in NASCAR has yet to help him find his way into Victory Lane in any of the 36 Sprint Cup races that

IN THE DRAFT

SPORTS SCENE

When teams get locked in T oday I thought about a lot of good sports teams that have encountered hot streaks over the years. Carolina and Duke basketball. The New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers. Not only are these examples of rivals but they have also remained on top of their respective sports for a long time. I find it difficult to understand or fathom how teams can be that dominant for such a long time. But somehow these have done so. I want to compare it a little to what has taken place in NASCAR the last two weeks. Now, I do have a hard time trying to figure out why teams and drivers can be so dominant one week and then go to pot the next. It seems that they can be on top of the world and have everything under control when suddenly a tire goes down and they lose both the race and the momentum they had picked up from previous races. All it usually takes is one dose of bad luck. Well, at Darlington and now at Dover the Joe Gibbs teams have found nothing but fortune and fame. Denny Hamlin won both

series races last week and then Kyle Busch did the same this week. But unlike UNC, Duke or the Celtics, this will come to an end. I know and understand that teams just happen to hit the mark and have the setup where it needs to be. And then they can adapt and make changes as they see fit during the race. But two consecutive weeks? I guess Gibbs has been holding his mouth just right or something. Maybe that horseshoe that Kevin Harvick said was in Jimmie Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back pocket (I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say where it really was!) has been moved to the No. 20 and No. 18 cars? Regardless, in my opinion, it is still not good for the sport. I want to see others win. I complained a few weeks ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; let me change that, I whined a few weeks ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about Jimmie Johnson winning too much

and I think the racing gods heard me. Maybe this wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall on deaf ears either. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get Jeff Burton, Clint Bowyer or a Ford back in victory circle! Good luck with that last request. I say that because I was reading over the point standings and it is hard to believe that the Fords are staying in the top 10 in points. How? They havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smelled their own burnout in a while. I see Matt Kenseth, Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards are all in the top 10 without a win. I guess consistency is paying off for them? If consistency does pay off then there will be rule changes before next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chase. NASCAR canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a non-winner win. Well, with this column I am going to prove that I am human. I e-mail each column to Herald Sports Editor Alex Podlogar and I usually get them there without any glitches. But not this time. As I was writing this one we had a power surge during a rain storm and I thought I had everything saved. But no! It only saved about twothirds of it. So Alex e-mailed me and told me that he needed more stuff. I thought no problem, I can remember what I had written! Guess what? No, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t!

Red Bull Racing says Mears will drive the No. 83 Toyota for Vickers, who is undergoing treatment for blood clots in his legs and near his lungs. Mears finished 22nd while subbing for Vickers last weekend at Dover. NASCAR granted Red Bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to switch drivers for the race. Red Bull said Tuesday that Vickers has responded well to treatment but has not issued a timetable for when the 26-year-old can return to racing.

So there you have it, half a column. I guess my age is catching up with me. The worst part is that this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work was worthy of an award of some type. Maybe a Pulitzer or a Peabody or maybe even an Oscar! Now, how could I win an Oscar with my writing? Because I am trying to act like a writer! I guess that if I got an award for that then Robby Gordon could get one for acting like a race car driver. Gotta go on that one. See you after the All Star race!

NBA DRAFT

SPORTS BRIEFS Sizemore goes on DL with knee injury

CLEVELAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Cleveland Indians placed outfielder Grady Sizemore on the 15-day disabled list one day after losing shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera for two months. Sizemore has a deep bone bruise in his left knee and Indians trainer Lonnie Soloff said Wednesday the team is evaluating the best options for treatment. He did not rule out surgery. Meanwhile, Cabrera had surgery by Dr. Tom Graham in Baltimore to repair a displaced fracture of the ulna bone in his left arm. Soloff said the timetable for his return is 8-10 weeks.

Prokhorov says GM Vandeweghe wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return to team

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New Jersey Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov says general manager Kiki Vandeweghe will be let go when his contract expires this summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish him well,â&#x20AC;? says Prokhorov. NBA owners approved the sale of the Nets to the Russian billionaire last week. Prokhorov says Wednesday he does plan to retain team president Rod Thorn.

Tresselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife has heart surgery

CLEVELAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The wife of Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel is recovering from surgery to repair a

heart valve. Norma Watson, Tresselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother-in-law, tells The Associated Press on Wednesday that her daughter, 56-yearold Ellen Tressel, had the operation at the Cleveland Clinic on Tuesday in hopes of improving blood flow through the heart. Watson says the procedure went well and her daughter is likely to leave the hospital this weekend. She says the coach plans to stay with his wife for the duration. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missing Big Ten league meetings in Chicago.

AP Source: 76ers set to negotiate with Collins PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; TNT analyst Doug Collins, who has been a coach with three NBA franchises, started negotiating with the Philadelphia 76ers to become their coach, according a person familiar with the talks. The person spoke on condition of anonymity on Wednesday because the negotiations were supposed to remain confidential. Team president Ed Stefanski interviewed Collins on May 1, and he emerged as the leading candidate to replace the fired Eddie Jordan. The pool of candidates includes former Dallas coach Avery Johnson and Toronto coach Sam Mitchell. Collins went 332-287 in coaching stints with Chicago, Detroit and Washington. The 76ers made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 1973 draft.

Lottery working â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just not for NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little lottery math for you. With the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst record, the New Jersey Nets actually had a better probability of picking fourth in the draft than first. The Minnesota Timberwolves will be No. 4, which is exactly where the odds said they should be, despite starting in the No. 2 spot in the lottery. Got that? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somewhere thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some mathematician from MIT and this all makes sense to him or her,â&#x20AC;? Timberwolves president David Kahn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense to me as to why we were supposed to be No. 4 in terms of the greatest odds.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the lottery: sometimes criticized, often confusing and apparently here to stay. The Washington Wizards won Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event and the Nets ended up third, the sixth straight year the team that needed the most help didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to say the system doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. Except the lottery wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set up to help bad teams get better. It was created so teams couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the No. 1 pick just by losing on purpose to finish with the worst record. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why no matter

remain calm, however. Jerry West, then running the Memphis Grizzlies, was fuming after his team had the worst record but tumbled to fourth in the 2007 lottery, missing the chance to make the call on the Greg Oden-Kevin Durant debate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand why the process was implemented, meaning I understand the need to police teams that at the end of the season arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trying,â&#x20AC;? Kahn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But having said that, I see the flip side, too. I think this would always be much worse where if this was one of those years that there was truly a transformative player at No. 1 as there have been a mere handful of times.â&#x20AC;? The lottery has undergone several changes since it was first used in 1985. A weighted system was implemented in 1989, and it was further tweaked starting with the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;94 lottery to give the worst team an even better chance of winning, after the Magic vaulted to the top spot in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;93 despite barely missing the playoffs.

tion in his first three years. The results are glaring on the back of those slick pictures outside the hauler that bill Hornish as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Manâ&#x20AC;? and are there for fans to use for autographs. The Hornish Highlights: 19 wins in open wheel, 10 poles, one Indy 500 win, three championships. On the left-hand side, his numbers for Cup races and Nationwide races include no poles, no wins, no championships, just seven top-10 Cup finishes. Hornish has added 12 more starts this season to his career total â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with no more top-10s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The unfortunate thing is, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so many people that were so used to me winning all

the time over there that they expected that it was going to happen right away over here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re negative about it at times and it puts me in a bad mood. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be a lot farther along than what we are right now, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not been in the cards so far.â&#x20AC;? He hopes to start changing his results this week at the Showdown and the All-Star race.

We knew that if we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win those games, then we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have had a chance in getting to the playoffs.

Lee County studentathlete Josh Britt was tragically killed in a car accident last week, and prior to Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, he was honored with a moment of silence. The game against the Raiders was the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first team competition since the tragedy. Despite everything his team has been faced with in the past week, Spivey says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been real pleased with the focus of his club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been real impressed with the focus of these kids,â&#x20AC;? said Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going through what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going through in losing a classmate and friend, it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been easy on anybody.

DEAR ABBY: I can empathize with “Deeply Hurt in Arizona” (March 16), who travels back to her hometown to see her large extended family and struggles to make time for her longtime friend “Judith,” who nonetheless feels slighted. My husband and I grew up in the Northeast but now live out of state. We have flown hundreds of miles with our children to visit our families back there. Once we arrived, it seemed we were expected to continue traveling from town to town to do all the visiting. It became very stressful. These people made little effort to visit us in our state or even come to our “base” while we were in their area. While “Hurt” visits her elderly parents, Judith appears to be sitting around waiting for her and making little effort. Why doesn’t Judith go to the parents’ home? Or, better yet, have a girls’ weekend in Arizona or somewhere in between? We have gotten past our irritation with family and friends and do two things: 1. We tell people in advance when we’re coming so they can make plans. Groups -- especially friends -- can double up, and see us and see each other. 2. We use our time the way we want and not the way we feel we are obligated to. “Hurt” should urge Judith to try to come to her. The road goes both ways. — WORKED IT OUT IN ALPHARETTA, GA. DEAR WORKED IT OUT: Thank you for writing. The scenario in “Hurt’s” letter hit a nerve with a number of readers. Read on: DEAR ABBY: When my kids visit

from out of state, I have an open house so the family can come to one place and spend time with them. This gives my kids more time to visit with me and any special friends they may want to see. It also lessens the guilt of not being able to see everyone. This has worked well for us, and now the family expects me to do it every time the kids come back. — DIANA IN OHIO DEAR ABBY: I agree that Judith is selfish and immature. I have friends all over the U.S., and when they come to visit, I understand that most of their time will be spent with family. Judith needs to grow up and realize that not everything revolves around her. Instead of complaining about the lack of time “Hurt” has for her, Judith should make the most of the time she does get to spend. — SHELLIE IN INDIANA DEAR ABBY: There may be a crisis in Judith’s life that she is displacing onto “Hurt.” When the emotions around that crisis calm, she will need her old friend. Is there anyone

in town who could find out what is going on? I knew a woman who cut everyone out of her life in a rage after the betrayal of an assault by a loved one. Another person did the same thing after a cancer diagnosis. Once the shock faded and they began to deal with their issues, they confided in their old friends about what was really happening and were able to reconnect. — SUSAN IN CENTERVILLE, OHIO DEAR ABBY: Our family moved two hours away to make a better life for our kids. With a newborn in tow, we spent the entire first summer traveling home to visit family and friends. My best friend came to see us once in the first year after our move. Recently she told me that because I moved away, we no longer have anything in common and that “maybe we would cross paths again -- someday.” It hit me like a ton of bricks, but I have chosen to move on. If our paths were meant to cross again, they would not have split in the first place. — ANGELA IN WASHINGTON STATE DEAR ABBY: Was the only time Judith heard from “Hurt” when she had a few precious moments for Judith? If one person has to do all the communicating, perhaps it isn’t a true friendship -- and that is what Judith was trying to say. The art of communication and caring is dying. Hey, folks: Friendship is a two-way street. — BEEN THERE, TOO, IN PENNSYLVANIA

ODDS AND ENDS Former NASCAR racer gets jail time following chase SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) — A former NASCAR driver pleaded guilty Tuesday to leading sheriff’s deputies on a freeway chase that reached 140 mph in his Corvette. James Neal, 56, of San Clemente was sentenced to a month in jail and probation after entering his plea to felony evasion while driving recklessly. Orange County sheriff’s deputies tried to pull over Neal at 3 Neal a.m. Monday in San Clemente for not having a front license plate on his 2003 Chevrolet Corvette, a minor infraction that he could have settled without a fine, sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino said. Neal refused to stop and sped onto Interstate 5, where the California Highway Patrol took over the chase, Amormino said. Neal raced south at speeds of up to 140 mph and quickly pulled away from CHP officers. “He was going so fast that they lost sight of him,” Amormino said. Because the infraction wasn’t serious enough and Neal was endangering other drivers, officers decided to stop pursuing him, he said. Neal finally pulled over after his

MY ANSWER engine blew up near La Jolla, 50 miles from where the chase started. Deputies arrested him without a struggle. “You drive any car that far, about 50 miles, and that fast, it’ll blow up because it’s not built for that,” Amormino said. Neal was a NASCAR track racer at the old Ascot Park track in Gardena in the early 1980s, said Daytona Beach, Fla.-based NASCAR. He never won a national race.

2 lambs found at Ohio school in apparent prank GREEN, Ohio (AP) — Two lambs that disappeared from an Ohio farm were left on the lawn of a high school with “2010” painted on their sides in an apparent prank. Schools Superintendent Michael Nutter says the 3-day-old lambs were not harmed by their visit Tuesday morning to Green High School, about 40 miles south of Cleveland. But he warns that the culprits won’t pull the wool over anyone’s eyes. School administrators are reviewing images captured from cameras inside and outside the school in hopes of identifying the pranksters. Nutter isn’t saying how they might be disciplined. The lambs’ owner in nearby Canal Fulton says he’s glad to have them back on his farm. He says they’re so young they need to stay by their mother. See answer, page 2A

No matter what we do, he always finds something wrong with it and never thanks us for what we did right. The situation is very stressful. Should I just quit? -- K.F. A: I don’t know whether or not you ought to change jobs, but God knows all about the pressures you feel, and He knows what is best for you. Don’t make a hasty or unwise decision about your job, therefore, but prayerfully seek God’s will for your future. Perhaps His will is for you to find another job -- and if so, He can be trusted to open that door for you. Or His will may be for you to stay in your present job -- and if so, He can be trusted to give you patience and strength to endure a difficult boss. Either way, don’t go only by your emotions or frustrations, but seek God’s will for your future. Remember: God loves us, and because He does, He wants what’s best for us (even if it isn’t always what we want). How do I know He loves us? I know it because He sent His Son into the world to give His life for us. The Bible says, “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins” (1 John 4:10). If you have never given your life to Jesus Christ, do so today.
