GULF OIL SPILL

Budget to force job cuts Superintendent to announce hiring freeze, budget shortfall on podcast today

By BILLY LIGGETT bliggett@sanfordherald.com

‘TOP KILL’ IS BP’S NEXT PLAN OF ATTACK Marking five disastrous weeks, BP readied yet another attempt to slow the oil gushing into the Gulf on Tuesday as a federal report alleged drilling regulators have been so close to oil and gas companies they’ve been accepting gifts and even negotiating to go work for them

SANFORD — Lee County Schools will face anywhere between a $3.6 and $4.4 million budget shortfall — nearly 10 percent of the district’s total operating costs — in

the coming fiscal year, and to offset the decrease in funding, the district will likely cut more teaching positions.

Superintendent Jeff Moss will explain this, an upcoming hiring freeze and more in a podcast to be broadcast on Lee County Schools’ website

today, Moss told The Herald Tuesday. That podcast is expected to be posted today between 8 and 10 a.m. at http://lee.schoolfusion.us (a direct link will be provided at sanfordherald.com).

Mayor Pro Tem Mike Stone and Councilman Charles Taylor continued to blast recently-passed utility rate hikes for city sewer and water customers as the city plans to spend $67 million on an expansion of the city’s Big Buffalo wastewater

SANFORD — A Sanford man was sentenced last week to at least 13 years in prison after he pled guilty on charges that he stabbed his girlfriend to death in 2008.

The man, 23-year-old Edward Donald Rivera, was arrested in August 2008 and charged with stabbing his 17year-old girlfriend Dana Shorb that April.

Shorb was found dead in her shower at 210 Bounty Lane, police said. She had been stabbed 11 times in the arms, neck and head.

Police initially charged Rivera with first-degree murder but the charges were reduced to second-degree murder at the request of Shorb’s family, according to a release from Lee County District Attorney Susan Doyle’s office.

The family asked for a lesser charge “in order to obtain the certainty of a conviction without the pain of a trial,” Doyle

Clerks arrested for selling alcohol to underage buyers

SANFORD — Police arrested three Sanford convenience store clerks Saturday after conducting a sweep of area stores to check for compliance on underage drinking laws.

During the sweep, police watched to see if store clerks in 24 locations across Sanford would sell alcohol to an underage person.

Clerks in all 24 of the stores asked for identification on the underage person, but three still sold alcohol, police said.

Police are charging 20-year-old Amber Lynn Cockerham of 750 Womack Road in Broadway, 30-yearold Leslie Perkinson of 1040 Rocky River Road in Sanford and 20-year-old Teresa Lynn Henskee of 2627 Bellaire Drive in Sanford with selling a malt beverage to an underage person.

Cockerham worked at the Kangaroo store on 1413 Broadway Road, while Perkinson worked at the Kangaroo store on 3006 Hawkins Ave. and Henskee was an employee at the Kangaroo store on 1612 Tramway Road. — by Billy Ball

PITTSBORO

Vets reporting rare feline disease in Triangle area

RALEIGH — A rare, malaria like disease that is often fatal to cats is on the upswing in the Triangle and other parts of North Carolina, according to veterinarians at N.C. State University who are at the forefront of studying the illness.

Two Pittsboro cats with cytauxzoonosis have been brought to NCSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine in the past three weeks, along with two cats from Virginia, said Dr. Adam Birkenheuer, an associate professor of internal medicine.

The disease is caused by a parasite carried by bobcats and spread by ticks. It pops up in warm months, often in “hot spots� where several cats contract the disease. It has now been diagnosed among cats in eastern Raleigh, Wake Forest and Rolesville, as well as Southern Pines and coastal North Carolina from Morehead City to Southport.

The illness was first diagnosed in Missouri in the 1970s; it was not found in North Carolina until the late 1990s. Between 1998 and 2004, 34 cases were brought to the hospital from the Carolinas and Virginia.

But now it has become routine for a couple of dozen cases to be diagnosed during warm months.

Scientists think a few

things are causing the jump in the number of local cases, Birkenheuer said.

First, the ticks that spread the disease are extending their range, with one species in particular moving north and east. Also, scientists think some cats survive infections, then become reservoirs for the parasite and carry it close to other cats.

Birkenheuer and other researchers at NCSU and the University of Missouri have sequenced the parasite’s genome and hope it will lead to a vaccine and new treatments.

Bobcats apparently have adapted to the disease, he said. About 30 percent of them carry it, but few die. — Raleigh News & Observer

JOHNSTON COUNTY

Computer store owner faces charges SMITHFIELD (MCT) — The owner of a Johnston County computer store was arrested Monday on charges that he didn’t return customer’s computers after closing his Smithfield store.

Mark Edward White, 33, of 6921 Porcher Road, Myrtle Beach, S.C., faces 18 counts of felony conversion and one count of misdemeanor conversion. Smithfield Police Det. David Johnson says White closed his downtown Smithfield store, Laptop Pros, in late March without returning computers to 19 customers.

Since then, Johnson said, only three customers have received computers, but they either received the wrong computer or one without any software.

Rachel Vega said her husband took their computer to Laptop Pros last August for a repair. They paid for the repair long ago but never got the computer back, she said. “They gave him the runaround for at least eight months,� Vega said. “He called repeatedly, walked in, threatened lawsuits, and nothing. Before we could file a lawsuit, they closed.�

White also owns Caveman Computers in Apex and Sunshine Computers in Fuquay-Varina, Johnson said. But according to the Better Business Bureau, White does not own those two companies. Those businesses have F ratings from the Better Business Bureau of Eastern North Carolina, which has received dozens of complaints ranging from shoddy repair work to failure to return computers on time. Caveman and Sunshine customer complaints have been reported in The News & Observer’s Triangle Troubleshooter column.

Both stores remained open Tuesday.

The Smithfield police investigation, however, involved only Laptop Pros, Johnson said.

Attorney general urges DNA samples taken upon arrest

By EMERY P. DALESIO Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — North Carolina lawmakers are wrestling with whether the state can collect DNA samples from suspects in violent or sex crimes while still protecting the rights of people who haven’t been convicted.

A state House committee on Tuesday reviewed expanding a crime-fighting database of DNA samples beyond those already convicted of a felony or sexual battery.

A revised version introduced Tuesday would direct police to collect the samples from saliva rather than by drawing blood.

Samples would be entered into state and national databases to determine whether a suspect is wanted in other unsolved crimes. The government would be required to destroy the DNA data of people whose charges are dismissed or who were never charged, then notify the former defendant that his data was expunged.

Twenty-three other states from Vermont and Florida to California already collect DNA samples from those arrested but not yet convicted, legislative researchers said. That includes Virginia, Tennessee and South Carolina.

Advocates including Attorney General Roy Cooper said the change would solve cases faster, prevent violent crimes by getting attackers off the streets, and provide the evidence preventing the innocent from wrongful convictions. Seven years ago, Cooper helped pass the current law requiring all convicted felons to give DNA samples. “We are not serving the public well unless we use DNA technology to the fullest extent,� Cooper told members of a House judiciary committee. “This law can prevent violent crime from occurring.�

Cooper cited the case of Robert Pratt, who is serving prison time after kidnapping two men and a woman at gunpoint in an Orange County forest in 1995 and raping the woman. He also kidnapped, robbed and attempted to rape real estate agents in separate 1998 incidents.

In between, Pratt was arrested in 1997 and charged with stabbing a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill lacrosse player. If DNA had been taken after that stabbing, investigators might have tied Pratt to the forest assault sooner and prevented his further crimes, Cooper said.

But the proposal

crashes into the U.S. Constitution’s ban of the government carrying out unreasonable searches and seizures, ACLU of North Carolina policy director Sarah Parker said.

The Fourth Amendment requires that before officials can search a person they must secure a warrant supported by indication that there is probable cause pointing to a person as a suspect. “Certainly with people who are presumed innocent, this turns our system on its head,� Parker said.

Parker also warned of the institutional “mission creep� that creates the possibility that the database could be used in the future for purposes not intended today. “DNA contains a lot more information than a fingerprint does. It contains your entire genetic makeup,� she said.

Cooper said there are about 190,000 samples in the state’s database, Cooper said. The proposed expansion would add about 45,000 samples a year, he said.

Gov. Beverly Perdue supports expanding DNA collections and asked for $700,000 in the state budget in part to train local

Ken’s Lamp Shop Why Take Chances With Old Sockets And Frayed Wire?

,ET US REPAIR YOUR ,!-0 “Reasonable Prices�

law enforcement on how to collect DNA properly.

The Senate removed the money in its version of the $19 billion spending plan for the year starting in July.

The House is currently making changes to the Senate budget.

Almost monthly, DNA databases are credited with solving crimes old and new. But opponents often object to samples taken from people who are just suspected of a crime.

Last week, the Oklahoma House rejected a proposal to take DNA samples from suspects accused of felonies and violent misdemeanors before they go to trial.

Pfizer announced last week that over the next five years, it will cut 400 jobs — roughly half of its workforce. In today’s Herald, we reported on more cuts by one of Lee County’s largest employers, Lee County Schools.

If Sanford is going to survive the consequences of the recession, it will have to lean on its lifeblood ... the small business owner.

This week is National Small Business Week, and throughout the U.S., the entrepreneurial spirit that’s kept this nation alive and thriving is being recognized.

More than half of Americans either own or work for our nation’s 27.2 million small businesses.

It’s near impossible for a local government to control the actions of a large company. Incentives are used to attract businesses or encourage growth, but beyond that, if a business decides its leaving for another area, cutting half its payroll or simply ceasing to exist, no government can control it.

It can, however, promote small businesses and encourage risk takers to set up shop locally.

Sanford and Lee County have sought more insight and control of the local economic develop-

ment corporation, but local government can go a step or two further when it comes to small businesses. Actually, there are a million ways to do it.

Social networking (and free promotion). Broadband incentives. Hosting workshops.

Subsidizing wages for new hires.

Encouraging local shopping.

A closer relationship with the local chamber and other business groups would help as well.

We’re not saying this isn’t happening, but it could be more of a focus.

Industry built Sanford, but if we continue to rely on it, it will end up tearing us down as well.

New book

If you’re a baseball fan, you’ll love the new book, “When The Grass Turns Green — Cherished Baseball Memories Of A North Carolina Sports Writer,” written by Thad Mumau of the Fayetteville area.

There are the stories of Thad’s own baseball life, from his childhood — including his Seventy-First High School baseball career — into his adult years (including the recollection of a game played in Lillington.)

There are stories about his family, including time spent with his father listening to Pittsburgh Pirate games, and time spent with his daughters at baseball games. And, he writes about his mother and his wife, Dahlia, for whom he dedicates his book.

He also writes much about major league baseball, including the ’50s and ’60s. The book includes a chapter on the great Ted Williams.

Mumau also writes about meeting Roberto Clemente, seeing Hank Aaron break his home run record and spending a few minutes with Dale Murphy.

There’s even a chapter on minor league memories.

This book, published by Parkway Publishers Inc. of Boone, is a really nice read that brought back baseball memories.

Moreso, I loved the individual memories and stories involving the love of the game of baseball that transcends generations.

Congratulations, Thad, for sharing your memories with others.

For those individuals who would like an autographed copy, Mumau will be signing his book from 6 to 9 p.m. June 25 at Center City Gallery and Books on Hay Street in Fayetteville.

Commending teen who thwarted burglar To the Editor: I would like to submit this letter in response to one of your best-ever front page stories.

I’m talking about the brave teen who managed to take a picture of the burglar who broke into her home as he departed.

Nobody wants to talk about the people in this city who think it is OK to steal from others who work very hard for their possessions. I commend the police department for hitting the ground running and for making a quick arrest. I’m just glad that no harm came to this teen who had to hide until the coast was clear.

This is just another reminder that children who are left home alone are not safe. As we prepare to enter into the beginning of summer when school will be out, we need to ask ourselves who will watch over our most prized possession, which should be our children.

Let me close by suggesting that we get alarms with panic buttons or simply ask a neighbor to be nosey and report anything that doesn’t look right for the sake of fighting crime before it comes to our back doors, windows, parked cars, etc.

This surely reminds me of those days when our grandparents sat on the porch or perched high in the windows all over America as the original neighborhood watch programs that we surely are missing.

Another thumbs down to city’s budget process

I

t’s likely that you’re familiar with someone who has been blessed with a random act of kindness.

Such was the case recently for Ruth Bouwman-Johnson of Sanford, who was going through the drive-in at the local Bojangles restaurant. She and her husband were going to get a couple of chicken fillet biscuits.

“A blue pickup was in front of us,” she writes. “When we got to the window to pick up our purchase, the man handed us our bag and said, ‘It’s paid for.’”

That’s not something that happens every day, but certainly a gesture worth celebrating.

Mrs. Bouwman-Johnson said she would love to let people know that there are good people in Sanford.

“And we want to thank the unknown people who paid for our food.”

I, too, would like to thank those people who paid for the food. It was a beautiful gesture and invigorates my belief in the goodness that lives within the souls of so many people.

Why not try an act of random kindness today?

Today’s Prayer

Your paper’s thumbs down on the city council’s increase in water and sewer rates was well deserved. In fact, they deserve a much bigger thumbs down for their entire budget process.

It can’t be said they work as a team or listen with an open mind. A vote to delay the rate increase did not mean delaying the project.

Councilman Stone could have made a better case if he had checked with the city’s financial advisers on the impact in debt repayment or future rates instead of just shooting from the hip.

When the council discovered that the director of utilities ($96,000 a year) could not tell them the current percentage utilization of the plant, it ought to have thrown a red flag up and put the whole thing on hold.

Advising and participating in planning for current and future capacity needs, and plant and systems modifications, are part of his job.

No homework ought to be required.

In this case, it could help Hal Hegwer get more in touch with dayto-day operations sufficiently to have better answers than, “I’ll get back to you.”

For those of us who have watched the process and examined the documents, that is par for the course. The method of presenting information in the budget to policy makers and the public deserves a failing grade. Going over each department’s budget, line item by line item, is a farce because there are no limitations on the city manager’s ability to transfer among those line items. Then there is the question of priorities. With local merchants hurting in a down economy, the budget calls for a $75,000 skating park.

Wouldn’t the Temple Theater be a better investment?

And the question of consistency.

The city manager claims that the budget keeps recurring expenses down but included a cost-of-living raise. All those people still crying over Lee Senior finally being funded ought to be all over this one. I bet at least a half a million could be saved. Two thumbs down.

State: reviews show many don’t need in-home care RALEIGH (AP) — An ongoing review of North Carolina Medicaid patients receiving inhome help with cooking, bathing and other living activities has found most are ineligible for the service or getting too much assistance.

Health and Human Services Secretary Lanier Cansler wrote lawmakers this week about what nurses have found while visiting people who receive

personal care services.

The General Assembly is considering whether to end those programs and replace them with less generous programs.

Cansler said assessments have found 40 percent are getting too much help and another 42 percent are ineligible. Cansler pointed to cases where nurses found a client working on a lawn mower and another who still hoes a vegetable garden.

Schools Continued from Page 1A

The cuts, which are nearly $2 million more than the district expected when the budget process began, are the equivalent of anywhere between 70 and 85 teaching positions, Moss said, or between 4.5 and 5.5 positions per school.

While some of those cuts have already been made and others will be lost through attrition, Moss said the new figures will mean the loss of currently employed teachers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Think about what that would mean to class size ... or the other things you need to effectively teach the curriculum,â&#x20AC;?

Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To say that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an urgent issue would probably be an understatement.â&#x20AC;?

In addition, Moss said the district will enact a hiring freeze for all positions, even the head coaching vacancy in the Southern Lee High School football program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean folks canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply,â&#x20AC;? Moss said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But pending the outcome of the budget, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to make any hires or recommendations.â&#x20AC;?

Lee County, obviously, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only district in North Carolina hurting from budget cuts.

According to the Durham Herald-Sun, Durham County is asking its elected officials to raise the property tax rate by 6.1 percent to fund that districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget request, adding $6.1 million in revenue for that district.

Neighboring Chatham County Schools is seeking a 4.15 percent property tax rate hike, with almost all of the extra funds going toward a new middle school and other school expenses.

Nearby Randolph County could see its property taxes rise under a budget proposal that will help fund school construction.

Moss said Tuesday that despite the cuts, he has not asked

Lee County commissioners to consider a tax hike. Lee County Manager John Crumptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed budget for 20102011 will not include increased property taxes, but it will mean cuts equaling $130,000 for the school district, most of that in infrastructure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a proponent of (raising taxes),â&#x20AC;? Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our most difficult year will actually be next year when all of the state stabilization money goes away. I think every district in the state is preparing for that. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if there are too many answers out there ... no one wants to see another reduced budget.â&#x20AC;?

Moss said the reduction in school spending on the state level has been a trend over the past 40 years. In the 70s, he said, public education was between 52 and 53 percent of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. Today, he said, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s down to about 34 to 35 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state has reduced funding for K through 12 public education over the past 40 years, pushing a lot of that to the local level,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unless we can stop the slide, I can see the percentage eroding even further. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s putting the burden back on local citizens to fund public education.â&#x20AC;?

Moss said LCSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; operation budget is different from its capital budget, as capital dollars are earmarked for construction an can only be used in that realm. This means money appropriated for the renovations at Lee County High School cannot be moved to make up for the budget shortfall from the state. At least not yet, Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The House and Senate have both put language in to give school districts the authority to move lottery dollars from capital to operational,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Mossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; podcast will be his fifth this year. He said the previous downloads have been met with positive response from teachers and parents.

Man charged with posing as Marine WILMINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man who pleaded guilty last year to altering an identification card after he was spotted in the uniform of a three-star Marine general has been charged again with posing as a highly decorated Marine officer.

Sixty-seven-year-old Michael Hamilton of Richlands was charged last week with wearing a Marine colonelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uniform and three counts of wearing medals,

including two Navy Crosses, the second highest award for valor, according to court papers.

Hamilton was photographed wearing the uniform and medals at Jacksonvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vietnam Memorial during a military recognition day ceremony last month.

It is a federal offense to claim or wear military decorations and carries punishment of up to one year in prison and a fine.

Hamilton is to appear in

Jones

federal court next month. He said Tuesday that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about the charges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no comment,â&#x20AC;? Hamilton said.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not immediately clear if he has a lawyer.

In a biography distributed at the April ceremony, Hamilton claims he was promoted from private first class to colonel between 1961 and 1969 and was awarded 80 medals, including two Navy Crosses.

Hootie & the Blowfish and Edwin McCain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was absolutely awesome,â&#x20AC;? Jones said of the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a following in South Carolina, but when Hootie and the other bands we toured with became popular, we were just able to ride the wave at the time.â&#x20AC;?

Jones also released a solo album in 2007 titled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doug Jones Everybody Doug Jones.â&#x20AC;?

The band parted ways in 2001, but reformed in 2008 and have plans for a tour and album in the near future.

Jones said the time apart helped each member grow as musicians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we stopped playing in 2001, I had to figure out how to play on my own,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now when we all get together, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much better for the band as a whole.â&#x20AC;?

WANT TO GO? n An evening with Doug Jones will start at 8 p.m.

Thursday at Steele Street Coffee & Wine Bar, located at 120 S. Steele St. in downtown Sanford. Tickets are $10 per person and can be reserved by calling the cafe at (919) 774-4092. (The entertainment calendar on page 1C of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition should read Thursday, not Friday.)

Continued from Page 1A

From his home in Greenville, S.C., Jones said Tuesday he plans to play a few Cravinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Melon hits as well as his own tunes. He said he hopes to bring the entire band back to Sanford soon as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to it,â&#x20AC;?

Jones said of the appearance in Sanford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;North Carolina has always been such a great place for us, with all of the colleges.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a great time.â&#x20AC;?

Cravinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Melon formed in 1994 at Clemson University, where Jones and several other members were enrolled as students. They released seven albums between 1995 and 2001.

The band had several hits

in the mid- to late-1990s with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sweet Tea,â&#x20AC;? and Come Undone,â&#x20AC;? the latter of which made a strong showing on Billboardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Top 100 list. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1997 album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red Clay Harvest,â&#x20AC;? peaked at No. 18 of Billboardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top albums list that year.

The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style and geographical roots prompted frequent comparisons to contemporaries and tourmates

month-old daughter, had been in a fight before her death and Shorb had told Rivera she wanted to end their relationship, the release said.

A medical examinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report also concluded that Shorbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death was a homicide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family can now move forward with their lives knowing that the defendant pled guilty and will be punished for this crime,â&#x20AC;?

Doyle said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state believed strongly that the circumstantial evidence in this case pointed to no one other than the defendant as the perpetrator of this crime,â&#x20AC;? Doyle said.

Police initially investigated Shorbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death as a suicide when Rivera told officers that she had been depressed prior to her death.

But investigators arrested Rivera after witnesses told police that the couple, who lived together with their 5-

Superior Court Judge Franklin Lanier sentenced Rivera to an active term of 157 to 198 months in prison after he pled guilty May 18.

Rivera agreed to plead guilty despite a lack of physical evidence connecting him to Shorbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s murder.

STATE BRIEFS

House gives initial OK to school reform

By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Facing a deadline next week for the state to apply for up to $400 million in federal grants, the state House gave initial approval Tuesday to legislation sought by Gov. Beverly Perdue laying out more options for local education leaders to improve low-performing schools.

The House voted 68-45 in favor of legislation adopting federal guidelines by allowing the State Board of Education to give school districts four ways to retool more than 130 public schools where less than half of the students met expectations in standardized tests two of the past three years.

The biggest change would allow districts to â&#x20AC;&#x153;restartâ&#x20AC;? a typical school by giving it the same flexibility as a charter school without making it independent from the district.

Charter schools are exempt from many rules of most public schools and can test innovative learning techniques or focus more on children at risk of failure.

The bill, which could receive final approval Wednesday, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lift the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cap of 100 charter schools thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in place since 1996.

Lawmakers have been nervous about raising or eliminating the cap on the traditional charter schools, which also are run by private boards.

The measure instead would offer the ability to create â&#x20AC;&#x153;charter-likeâ&#x20AC;?

ALSO IN RALEIGH...

Senate wants to approve $451M debt package RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The state Senate has unveiled a $451 million debt package that would pay for repairs and equipment on university and community college campuses and engineering buildings at two University of North Carolina system schools.

The debt proposal introduced on Tuesday wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require statewide voter approval. Bill co-sponsor Sen. Richard Stevens of Wake County said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great time to build because interest rates and construction costs are low.

More than half the money would go to expand the engineering schools at North Carolina State University and North Carolina A&T State University. Bill supporters say the debt would exceed a target set by the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt affordability panel led by State Treasurer Janet Cowell.

The Senate Finance Committee will consider the package on Wednesday.

House budget-writers detail saving $200M more RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; House budget-writers are considering siphoning more lottery funds to preserve teacher positions in North Carolina than the Senate did and eliminating in-state university tuition rates to out-ofstate athletes.

A House budget subcommittee met on Tuesday to discuss how they could cut an additional $200 million beyond what the Senate did in its public education budget. One provision would funnel an additional $90 million in lottery funds beyond what the Senate offered to hire teachers in early grades next school year.

The panel also would require community colleges and the University of North Carolina system to cut spending an additional $35 million. The discount booster groups receive to pay tuition for out-of-state UNC student-athletes would be eliminated, at a savings of $9.4 million.

schools, in addition to other methods to help continually low-performing schools. The other three are increasing class time and improving teacher performance; removing the principal and teachers; and simply closing the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What this does is give multiple options for reform,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland,

the billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief proponent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are more reforms out there than the charter model.â&#x20AC;?

Perdue sought the change by June 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when her administration has to file an application to seek the second round of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Race to the Topâ&#x20AC;? federal education reform grants. North Carolina finished well out of the money for the first round

of applications in March.

The state didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score well when it came to charter schools and other innovative schools.

Several Republican House members criticized the proposal as simply window-dressing to impress the judges in the U.S. Department of Education competition.

They said school districts already had the ability to rework schools using the other three options beside the charter-like method. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fig leaf,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Nelson Dollar, R-Wake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really reform.â&#x20AC;?

Boosters of charter schools held a news conference to argue the proposal wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do enough to help the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next Race to the Top application because it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lift the 100-charter cap.

The House approved a separate bill last year to raise the cap 106 but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s languished in the Senate ever since.

Darrell Allison, president for Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina, a procharter school group, said while the bill approved Tuesday isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t awful, it fails to get at the root problem that about 18,000 children are on waiting lists for traditional charter schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;North Carolina is once again positioning itself to forfeit hundreds of millions of dollars due to its inaction in moving strong on public charter school policy this legislative short session,â&#x20AC;?

Allison said.

New defense bill has $1.355 billion for bases

Two men charged with beheading turtles

WILMINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An authorization bill approved by federal lawmakers contains more than $1 billion in construction funding for North Carolina military bases.

The 2011 Defense Authorization Bill was approved by the House Armed Services Committee last Friday.

Rep. Mike McIntyre, D-N.C., said the bill includes $310 million for Fort Bragg and $789 million for Camp Lejeune if the bill passes in its current form.

Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point would receive $65.5 million.

Projects earmarked for Fort Bragg include three new brigade complexes, new special operations facilities and two new schools. Camp Lejeune is slated to receive money for a variety of projects including seven new barracks, hangars, mess halls and other facilities.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two North Carolina men have been arrested and accused of chopping and shooting the heads off turtles they say were getting caught on a fishing line.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported police arrested 55-year-old Ralph Benjamin Marshall of Raleigh and 38-year-old Kenny Davis of Raleigh on Sunday.

State law forbids people from killing more than four protected turtles.

Marshall is charged with a felony count of animal cruelty and Davis is charged with a misdemeanor count of instigating cruelty to animals. Both are accused of going armed to the terror of the public.

Jailers say $5,500 bond was posted for Marshall on Monday afternoon. Davis got out on pretrial release late Monday. A telephone number listed as Marshallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was disconnected. There was no listing for Davis.

Abortion opponents push for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Choose Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tags RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Anti-abortion groups want to push North Carolina legislators to allow their message onto a special license plate.

About 100 activists gathered Tuesday at the General Assembly to urge lawmakers to approve a license plate bearing the slogan â&#x20AC;&#x153;Choose Life.â&#x20AC;?

About half the states in the country have them.

Profits from the sale of the plates would be used to help women who choose to give birth.

Democrats who lead the Legislature have left the measure in a committee since it was introduced early last year.

Roman Catholic Bishop Peter Jurgis of Charlotte says thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an injustice.

Jury resumes deliberations in 37-year-old case JACKSONVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The jury has resumed deliberations in the trial of a 57-yearold former small-town police chief accused of killing a Marine 37 years ago in North Carolina.

The Daily News of Jacksonville reported Tuesday that the jury in the trial of George Hayden got back to work after a one-day delay because one juror was ill.

Hayden was charged with murder and conspiracy in the death of Marine Sgt. Bill Miller who prosecutors say was killed in an ambush triggered by a love triangle involving Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife.

NATION BRIEFS GOP senators vent anger, complaints at lunch with Obama

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If President Barack Obama thought having a private lunch with Republican senators would ease partisan tensions in Congress, he grabbed the wrong recipe.

The president walked into a remarkably contentious 80-minute session Tuesday in which GOP senators accused him of duplicity, audacity and unbending partisanship. Lawmakers said the testy exchange left legislative logjams intact, and one GOP leader said nothing is likely to change before the November elections.

Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sharpest accuser was Bob Corker of Tennessee, a first-term senator who feels the administration undermined his efforts to craft a bipartisan financial regulation bill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told him I thought there was a degree of audacity in him even showing up today after what happened with financial regulation,â&#x20AC;? Corker told reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted him to tell me how, when he wakes up in the morning, comes over to a luncheon like ours today, how does he reconcile that duplicity?â&#x20AC;?

Four people who were in the room said Obama bristled and defended his administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handling of negotiations. On the way out, Corker said, Obama approached him and both men repeated their main points.

opening bell and stayed under 10,000 most of the day, then charged back to finish down only 22 when signals from Washington suggested banks would not be forced to sell their lucrative derivatives units as part of financial reform. The Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index even managed a slight gain.

But investors are still concerned about European debt, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to mean more turbulent days like Tuesday. The market worries that even austerity measures by governments there will not be enough to fix the problem and fight off a prolonged economic slump in Europe, or even another global recession.

Rand Paul adjusts image before friendly audience

Dow finishes above 10,000, but debt worries persist

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A rally pushed the Dow Jones industrials back over 10,000 after the stock market sank to its lowest level of the year Tuesday. The late-day rebound did nothing to erase lingering worries about Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt crisis.

The Dow plunged more than 250 points after the

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dressed in doctor scrubs, senatorial candidate Rand Paul sought to ditch the image of politician in his first campaign appearance since a round of interviews in which he dismayed fellow Republicans by discussing his views on racial segregation.

Paul spoke to a friendly audience at a civic club Tuesday in his hometown of Bowling Green.

He drew chuckles when he described last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign victory with the words of English novelist Charles Dickens: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the best of it times. It was the worst of times.â&#x20AC;?

Last week Paul suggested that the federal government shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the power to force restaurants to serve minorities under the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Paul told the local group he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to repeal the Civil Rights Act. Paul also said he expects there will be a campaign staff shakeup, though he declined to give details. He won the GOP nomination last week with a campaign staff made up largely of political novices and volunteers.

Obama to send 1,200 troops to border WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Under pressure to take action, President Barack Obama is ordering 1,200 National Guard troops to boost security along the U.S.-Mexico border, officials said Tuesday, pre-empting Republican efforts to force a congressional vote to send the troops.

Obama will also request $500 million for border protection and law enforcement activities, according to lawmakers and administration officials.

The presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action comes as chances for comprehensive immigration reform, Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-stated goal, look increasingly dim in this election year. Obama has been all but compelled to do something since Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passage of a tough illegal-immigration law thrust the border problem into the public spotlight.

The National Guard troops will work on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance support, analysis and training, and support efforts to block drug trafficking. They will temporarily supplement Border Patrol agents until Customs and Border Protection can recruit and train additional officers and agents to serve on the border, an administration official said.

In 2006, President George W. Bush sent

The American Flag flies along the international border in Nogales, Ariz. President Barack Obama will send 1,200 National Guard troops to help secure the U.S.Mexico border, an administration official and an Arizona congresswoman said Tuesday, pre-empting Republican plans to try to force votes on such a deployment. thousands of troops to the border to perform support duties that tie up immigration agents. But that program has since ended, and politicians in border states have called for troops to be sent to curb human and drug smuggling and to deal with Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drug violence that has been spilling over into the United States.

The administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity ahead of a public announcement, disclosed the new White House plans shortly after Obama met at the Capitol with Republican senators who pressed him on immigration issues including the question of sending troops to the border.

Arizona Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl have been urging such a move, and Republicans planned to try to require it as an amendment to a pending war spending bill.

In a speech Tuesday on the Senate floor, McCain said the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border has â&#x20AC;&#x153;greatly deteriorated.â&#x20AC;? He called for 6,000 National Guard troops to be sent, and he asked for $250 million more to pay for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I appreciate the additional 1,200 being sent ... as well as an additional $500 million, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sim-

ply not enough,â&#x20AC;? McCain said.

Democrats were considering countering McCainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amendment with a proposal of their own after disclosure of the administration plans. The White House wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expected to formally send its spending request to Capitol Hill until after the Memorial Day recess, said Kenneth Baer, spokesman for the White House Office of Management and Budget.

A military official said Tuesday that details were still being worked out on the troopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; orders and destinations, adding that the timing of their deployment was not yet clear. Also undetermined was which units from which states would deploy.

The Defense Department, which has been jousting with the Homeland Security Department for the better part of a year over the possible deployment, had previously expressed concerns that the troops not be used for law enforcement duties. Pentagon officials are worried about perceptions that the U.S. was militarizing the border.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Top killâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plug readied to halt oil leak

By MATTHEW DALY Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Marking five disastrous weeks, BP readied yet another attempt to slow the oil gushing into the Gulf on Tuesday as a federal report alleged drilling regulators have been so close to oil and gas companies theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been accepting gifts and even negotiating to go work for them.

President Barack Obama prepared to head to the Gulf on Friday to review efforts to halt the millions of gallons of contaminating crude, while scientists said underwater video of the leak showed the plume growing significantly darker, suggesting heavier, more-polluting oil is spewing out.

BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next effort to stop the damaged oil well, perhaps Wednesday, will be to force-feed heavy drilling mud and cement into the well to plug it up. The tactic, called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;top kill,â&#x20AC;? has never been tried a mile beneath the sea, and company executives estimate its chances of success at 60 to 70 percent.

Also on Tuesday, in Jackson, Miss., 11 men who died in the April 20 rig explosion were honored at a somber memorial service with tributes from country music stars and drilling company executives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the one of the most difficult days for many of us here. But for the families of our 11 lost colleagues, this is just another of many difficult days,â&#x20AC;? said Steven Newman, CEO of Transocean Ltd., the Swiss-based owner of the Deepwater Horizon rig.

In Washington, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar

Pelicans rest on an island impacted by oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in Barataria Bay just inside the coast of Louisiana, Tuesday. said he has been laboring to root out problems at the agency that regulates offshore drilling. And the Justice Department said it will take all appropriate steps to ensure that those responsible for the disastrous blowout and oil spill are held accountable.

On Capitol Hill, lawmakers continued feuding over a law that caps oil spill liability at $75 million for economic damages beyond direct cleanup costs. Democrats have tried to pass a bill raising the limit to $10 billion but have been blocked by Republicans.

A new report from the Interior Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acting inspector general found that an inspector for the Minerals Management Service, which oversees drilling, admitted using crystal methamphetamine and said he might have been under the influence of the drug at work.

The report cited a variety of violations of federal regulations and ethics rules at the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Louisiana office. Previous inspector general investi-

gations have focused on inappropriate behavior by the royalty-collection staff in the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Denver office.

The report adds to the climate of frustration and criticism facing the Obama administration, although it covers actions before the spill. Millions of gallons of oil are gushing into the Gulf, endangering wildlife and the livelihoods of fishermen, as scrutiny intensifies on a lax regulatory climate.

In a letter to Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich said he could not confirm or deny a criminal investigation was under way, but he said a team of investigators has been in the Gulf for three weeks.

Justice lawyers have been meeting state officials and federal prosecutors to assure a coordinated effort, Weich said.

The Interior Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acting inspector general, Mary Kendall, said her report began as a routine investigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, given the events of April 20 of

this year, this report had become anything but routine, and I feel compelled to release it now,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Her biggest concern is the ease with which minerals agency employees move between industry and government, Kendall said. While no specifics were included in the report, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we discovered that the individuals involved in the fraternizing and gift exchange â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both government and industry â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have often known one another since childhood,â&#x20AC;? Kendall said.

Relationships took precedence over their jobs, Kendall said.

The report follows a 2008 report by thenInspector General Earl Devaney that decried a â&#x20AC;&#x153;culture of ethical failureâ&#x20AC;? and conflicts of interest at the minerals agency, which is part of the Interior Department.

Salazar called the latest report â&#x20AC;&#x153;deeply disturbingâ&#x20AC;? and said it highlights the need for changes he has proposed, including a plan to abolish the minerals agency and replace it with three new entities.

DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Time and again, Kwame Kilpatrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exceptional oratory skills rallied Detroit voters to his side despite his frequent troubles as mayor.

But all his swagger and professions of love for family, God and the city failed to sway a judge Tuesday, who sent Kilpatrick to prison for up to five years for violating his probation stemming from his conviction for lying under oath about an affair with his chief of staff.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Even after death, John Murtha remains mired in controversy.

On Tuesday, the FBI released hundreds of pages about the late congressman who came under criminal investigation three decades ago and who died in February amid an ongoing criminal probe into alleged kickbacks involving defense contractors.

Besides the FBIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Abscam sting operation that tarnished Murthaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation in 1980, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Murtha was also the subject of other ethical and potentially criminal complaints,â&#x20AC;? the bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website noted in explaining why it is still withholding material about Murtha from public inspection.

Federal law allows the public to obtain FBI files on people after they die.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an exception, however, when the dead personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name turns up in an open investigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As this investigative file is still in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;pending status,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the bulk of the fileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FBI documents are not releasable until the conclusion of the investigation,â&#x20AC;? the FBI website entry on Murtha states.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A lukewarm endorsement from Defense Secretary Robert Gates and opposition among some lawmakers cast doubt Tuesday on whether Congress this week would lift a 17-year-old ban on gays serving openly in the military.

Gay rightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; groups predicted that the bill might pass the House but face a tough road in the Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The door isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t closed, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s barely cracked,â&#x20AC;? said Aubrey Sarvis, executive director of Servicemembers Legal Defense Network Executive Director.

A compromise was struck on Monday by the White House and a small group of Democrats who fear that repeal efforts will be doomed if Republicans regain control of one or both houses of Congress after fall elections.

The plan would overturn the â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tellâ&#x20AC;? law but still allow the military to decide when and how to implement any changes to accommodate the new policy.

said before announcing his sentence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frankly, your continued attempt to cast yourself as the victim, your lack of forthrightness, your lack of contriteness and your lack of humility serve to affirm that you have not learned your lesson,â&#x20AC;? the judge said.

The criticism was some of the harshest leveled at the one-time Hip-Hop mayor and darling of Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Democratic Party, who early on in his political career displayed the bravado and eloquence to talk his way out of politically thorny situations.

Ankle bracelet has Breathalyser tech

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If an alcohol-monitoring bracelet can keep celebrities like Lindsay Lohan from drinking, some parents might wonder, Can I get one for my teen?

The answer is no.

For the time being, the ankle bracelets are only sold to the courts, probation officers and others who want to make sure drunken drivers or anyone involved in alcohol-related offenses donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That might be a market down the road,â&#x20AC;? said Kathleen Brown, a spokeswoman for Alcohol Monitoring Systems Inc., which makes the only alcohol ankle bracelet.

In the meantime, the Denver-based company is focusing on the corrections market, she said.

One of the devices was slapped on Lohanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ankle Monday by a judge angered because the actress didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up for a hearing last week in Beverly Hills, Calif., and instead attended the Cannes Film Festival in France. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her second go-around with the bracelet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the only celebrity to sport one.

Rapper-actress Eve wore one and ex-basketball star Jayson Williams was forced to earlier this year.

The gadgets are much

Actress Lindsay Lohan, left, talks to her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley during a hearing in Beverly Hills, Calif., Monday. like the better known electronic ankle bracelets that have been used for years to restrict suspects or parolees to their homes. (The alcohol bracelets can now do that too, if needed.)

The bracelet uses the same technology as a Breathalyzer, but instead of checking the breath for alcohol, it samples the perspiration on the skin. After alcohol is consumed, it eventually enters the bloodstream and a small amount is expelled through the skin.

The bracelet tests the skin every half hour. If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alcohol, it causes a chemical reaction in the deviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fuel cell. Usually once a day, the information is sent over phone lines to the company,

which alerts the courts or probation officer if alcohol is detected at a blood-alcohol level of 0.02 or higher.

It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pick up very small amounts and it takes a while to reach the skin. A 180-pound man would register 0.02 if he has two 5-ounce drinks in less than an hour on an empty stomach, according to Brown.

The alcohol bracelets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; called SCRAM for Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have been available since 2003, and are in use in every state except Hawaii. To date, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been worn by 136,000 people, for an average of 90 days, Brown said.

The device costs about $1,500, she said.

South Dakota has about 600 units and uses them in its 24/7 Sobriety Project, which requires daily monitoring for alcohol â&#x20AC;&#x201D; either two trips to the county jail for a breath test or wearing a bracelet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to look at a deputy sheriff two times a day.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a humbling experience,â&#x20AC;? said South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley, whose office successfully defended a court challenge of the device in South Dakota Supreme Court.

Given a choice between the sobriety project or jail, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people will obviously choose to go back to their family, go back to their job, to go be a parent and work it out,â&#x20AC;?

Jackley said.

Los Angeles County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said the SCRAM is used frequently and is very effective. He said there are many stories about people trying to disable the signal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard about someone who tried to put chicken skin between the signal and his skin, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work,â&#x20AC;? Whitmore said.

Brown, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokeswoman, said there are sensors that check for tampering.

Fans split over who should be next â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dancingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; champ LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Only three points separate the three finalists on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dancing With the Stars,â&#x20AC;? and the online support for Olympian Evan Lysacek, sportscaster Erin Andrews and singer Nicole Scherzinger is just as close.

Scherzinger and Andrews enter Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season finale tied with 55 points.

Andrews Lysacek has 52 points.

But the score is only half the story: Viewer votes are Lysacek combined with judgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; scores to determine the new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dancingâ&#x20AC;? champ, and fans could cast five votes each on Monday.

Fans of the show took to Twitter to share their picks, and support seemed fairly divided among the three finalists.

BreeAlyse7813 said she voted for Andrews because â&#x20AC;&#x153;she improved the most and put it all out there.â&#x20AC;?

FatallyCYNDI said she used her votes to support Lysacek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been rooting for him since Week 1 and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep on rooting!â&#x20AC;? she wrote.

Rip Torn seeks to resolve Conn. break-in charges LITCHFIELD, Conn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rip Tornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney says he and prosecutors are discussing a resolution to charges that Torn broke into a Connecticut bank while intoxicated and carrying a loaded gun.

Torn appeared briefly in Litchfield Superior Court on Tuesday.

Attorney A. Torn Thomas Waterfall says he hopes to resolve the case in a way that keeps the 79-year-old actor out of prison.

Torn has pleaded not guilty to trespassing, carrying a gun while intoxicated, carrying a gun without a permit, burglary and criminal mischief.

Police say he broke into the Salisbury bank Jan. 29 while highly intoxicated, thinking it was his home in the rural northwestern Connecticut town.

The overdose report came at 10:38 a.m. at a North Fort Myers home, the Lee County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office.

The property is owned by McCreadyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, records showed.

Cape Coral Hospital spokeswoman Karen Krieger would not say why McCready was taken to the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is in good condition,â&#x20AC;?

Krieger said.

30 killed in gunbattles North Korea cuts ties with

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thousands of police and soldiers stormed the Jamaican ghettos where reggae was born Tuesday in search of a reputed drug kingpin wanted by the United States, intensifying a third day of street battles that have killed at least 30 people.

The masked gunmen fighting for underworld boss Christopher â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dudusâ&#x20AC;?

Coke say he provides services and protection

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all funded by a criminal empire that seemed untouchable until the U.S. demanded his extradition.

Coke has built a loyal following in Tivoli Gardens, the poor West Kingston slum that is his stronghold. U.S. authorities say he has been trafficking cocaine to the streets of New York City since the mid-1990s, allegedly hiring island women to hide the drugs on themselves on flights to the United

States.

Called â&#x20AC;&#x153;presidentâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;shortmanâ&#x20AC;? by his supporters, Coke does not wear flashy clothes or hold court at Kingston nightclubs like other powerful gang bosses. The few published photographs of the 5-foot4-inch Jamaican the U.S. Justice Department calls one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most dangerous drug lords show an unassuming man with a pot belly.

South, raises war rhetoric

By HYUNG-JIN KIM Associated Press Writer

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Relations on the divided Korean peninsula plunged to their lowest point in a decade Tuesday when the North declared it was cutting all ties to Seoul as punishment for blaming the communists for the sinking of a South Korean warship.

The announcement came a day after South Korea took steps that were seen as among the strongest it could take short of military action.

Seoul said it would slash trade with the North and deny permission to its cargo ships to pass through South Korean waters. It also resumed a propaganda offensive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including blaring Western music into the North and dropping leaflets by balloon.

North Korea said it was cutting all ties with the South until President Lee Myung-bak leaves office in early 2013, the official Korean Central News Agency said in a dispatch monitored in Seoul late Tuesday.

The Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Committee for the Peaceful Reunification said it would expel all South Korean government officials working at a joint industrial park in the northern border town of Kaesong,

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gestures at a press conference in Beijing, China, Tuesday. Clinton stepped up pressure on China on Tuesday to back international action against North Korea for the sinking of a South Korean warship, calling peace and security on the Korean peninsula â&#x20AC;&#x153;a shared responsibilityâ&#x20AC;? between Washington and Beijing. and South Korean ships and airliners would be banned from passing through its territory.

The Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee said it would start â&#x20AC;&#x153;all-out counterattacksâ&#x20AC;? against the Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s psychological warfare, and called its moves â&#x20AC;&#x153;the first phaseâ&#x20AC;? of punitive measures against Seoul, suggesting more action could follow.

Earlier Tuesday, one Seoul-based monitoring agency reported that North Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leader ordered its 1.2 millionmember military to get ready for combat. South Korean officials could not immediately confirm the report, and its military said it had no indication of unusual activity by

North Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military.

North Korea often issues fiery rhetoric and regularly vows to wage war against South Korea and the U.S. South Korea wants to bring North Korea before the U.N. Security Council over the sinking, and has U.S. support. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was to visit South Korea on Wednesday.

Clinton was in Beijing on Tuesday, wrapping up two days of intense strategic and economic talks with China, which responded coolly to U.S. appeals that it support international action against North Korea over the warship sinking.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The star witness in a possible perjury case against Roger Clemens testified before a federal grand jury Tuesday, a sign that the panel could be nearing a decision on whether to indict the seven-time Cy Young Award winner for allegedly lying to Congress.

Brian McNamee, Clemens’ former personal trainer, spent more than 2 1/2 hours inside the courthouse where the grand jury meets. Wearing a dark suit, a bright blue tie and accompanied by two lawyers, McNamee gave a quick wave to reporters as he left the meeting rooms but did not speak.

WASHOUT Days of area rain postpone East Regional semifinals

NFL NFL HOLDS OFF ON NEW OT RULE FOR SEASON

IRVING, Texas (AP) — The NFL isn’t ready to expand the new overtime rule to the regular season.

Commissioner Roger Goodell said Tuesday the issue was tabled during owner meetings in the Dallas area. He said the league wants to continue talking to players.

Owners voted in March to change the sudden-death rule for the playoffs. If the team that loses the coin flip immediately gives up a field goal, that team will get a chance to score either to tie or win.

SANFORD — The third meeting between Tri-9 Conference foes Lee County and Apex had to wait a day, but that hasn’t changed the way the Yellow Jackets are approaching things.

The fifth-seeded Yellow Jackets (15-10) and the wild card Cougars (14-11) were supposed to square off in the NCHSAA 4-A East Regional semifinals of the state baseball tournament on Tuesday night in Sanford, but the rain in the area forced the game to

be postponed. The game will now be played at 7 p.m.

Wednesday in Sanford.

“I just didn’t want the field conditions to be the deciding factor in the game,” said Lee County head coach Charlie Spivey. “The field would’ve been extremely wet if we had gone ahead and played and it might’ve played a huge factor in the outcome.”

The Yellow Jackets, winners of seven straight, are still planning on pitching ace Dillon Frye in tonight’s

ON THE FRINGE

NBA JACKSON CLOSES DOOR ON BULLS, LIKES NETS

PHOENIX (AP) — A cagy Phil Jackson says he has “no desire at all” to return to Chicago to coach the Bulls, though would “like to have a vodka” with the new owner of the New Jersey Nets.

The Los Angeles Lakers coach addressed two reports by ESPN that the Bulls and Nets have worked through back channels to gauge his interest, saying Tuesday those channels haven’t reached him.

Jackson, who has coached teams to 10 NBA titles, is on the final year of his contract with the Lakers and has said there was “a 90 percent” chance he would either return to coach the Lakers or retire next season.

Lefty could end Tiger’s reign

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — It has been 12 years since the creation of the Mark H. McCormack Award, given to the player who has been ranked No. 1 in the world for the most weeks during a calendar year.

Tiger Woods is still the only

name engraved on the trophy.

Along with his 14 majors, 82 official victories and more than $100 million in earnings worldwide, Woods’ dominance of his generation is reflected in the world ranking. Dating to the 1998 U.S. Open at Olympic Club, he has been at the top 93 percent of the time.

Woods doesn’t stay there forever. He just doesn’t vacate the spot for very long.

David Duval took it away from him by winning The Players Championship in 1999 and stayed there for 14 weeks.

We’re going to the Super Bowl.

In New Jersey. In February!

NFL owners voted Tuesday to put the 2014 Super Bowl in the new $1.6 billion Meadowlands Stadium that this season will become home to the New York Jets and Giants. It’s the first time the league has gone to a cold weather site that doesn’t have a dome and, until now, those places couldn’t even bid on the big game.

The league made an exception for the New York area, and New York only. But just a few years ago, the NHL experimented with an outdoor game on New Year’s Day, and it was such a success that teams now fight to host what’s become an annual event.

“We believe the owners have the faith in us that 3 1/2 years from now we’ll put on a remarkable event,” Giants co-owner Jonathan Tisch said on the NFL Network. “The greatest game in the world will be played on the greatest stage in the world.”

IN THE DRAFT

SPORTS SCENE

The Hall and the All-Stars T here used to be an old saying around baseball that if someone could get three hits in every 10 at bats, then they could be in the Hall of Fame. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that is necessarily true now. In fact, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know what the stipulations are to join any sports Hall of Fame, including baseball. The only thing I do know is that a player has to have been retired for a certain number of years. Other than that it seems like the doors are pretty wide open.

Well, this weekend the NASCAR Hall of Fame held its initial inductions and the choices were well deserved. I know there were arguments for other people and drivers, but if 50 could have been chosen, then there would still be someone left out.

I personally believe that Bill France, Bill France Jr., Junior Johnson and Richard Petty left no doubt.

They should have been on everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial ballot.

But now I will ruffle some feathers. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Dale Earnhardt should have been included in the first inductees. I sure hope the lightning outside doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t strike me down, but it is just an opinion.

Now, I am not prepared to argue with anyone about it because we all have opinions, but there are so many others who have played a huge part in changing the sport. Yes, he won championships. Yes, he was a different breed of driver. Yes, his determination and his working-man mentality brought new fans to the sport. But I can think of two others that made a difference.

When I was young all I heard about was Fireball Roberts. He was the same kind of driver as Dale. He never backed

down from a challenge and he was constantly trying to mentally outdo his competition. And just like Dale his life ended too early. The only thing missing from Robertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resume was championships, but the way he drove changed racing.

Another person who comes to mind is Alan Kulwicki. Now some are saying who and why? The owner/driver of today would never have happened if not for Kulwickiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nerve and desire to succeed. He won a championship at a time when most didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it was possible. We may never see accomplishments like his again. A one-car operation defeating the big money and big-name teams will not happen again. He was truly a remarkable driver and owner. And yet again, he was taken from us too early in his career.

There will be many more inducted and there will be other arguments about who deserves it, but there will be no arguments greater than the one between Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin during the All-Star Race. I believe it was here just a week or so ago that I suggested they were a feud waiting to happen. Well, little did I know it would escalate into warfare.

During the race Saturday night it was evident that Busch had a strong

car and he was ready to flex his muscle. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see Hamlin do anything wrong. After all it was a non-point, $1 million race and I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I would have given up that high line either.

So Hamlin blocked and Busch was just too hard into the wall and that was that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called racing!

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called protecting the lead! I thought Busch had grown up lately but we all knew it would only take one incident to bring back the old Kyle.

I thought it funny and I thought it gave excitement to an otherwise dull evening of racing. Nothing happened up to that point, so let him fight it out. As noted, the fans need something to cheer about, so if it is teammates fighting then so be it. I still think Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson would have been better, but I will take what I can get. I just hate that Joe Gibbs is the owner that he is. He was in Hamlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hauler about as quick as Busch and he quickly worked to diffuse a potential problem. Those two have been the best recently and the last thing that organization needs is an interior feud or war.

In closing, it is time for the biggest day of racing this year. The Formula 1 cars will race Sunday morning, the Indianapolis 500 around lunch and then the 600 that evening.

Somewhere in there I have to run Sunday morning, attend and teach Sunday School at church and then we have a fifth Sunday sing that night!

Oh well! I must do what I must do! Where is that DVR? I love technology!

See ya next week!

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The inaugural five members of NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Hall of Fame were inducted Sunday in a ceremony that both honored auto racingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pioneers and celebrated the entire industry.

NASCAR founder Bill France was lauded for his vision of turning unregulated beach racing into Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premiere motorsports series. His son, Bill France Jr., was remembered as tough taskmaster who poured his soul into NASCAR. Richard Petty, the seven-time champion, was credited as the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first superstar, while Junior Johnson was celebrated as the symbol of the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots.

And then there was Dale Earnhardt, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;championâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championâ&#x20AC;? who epitomized the blue collar spirit at the heart of NASCAR. The final inductee in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ceremony, Earnhardt was represented on stage by his widow, Teresa, and four children, who each took a moment to share their memories of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Intimidator.â&#x20AC;? It was a rare picture of unity for a family thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been largely depicted as fractured since Earnhardtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2001 death in the Daytona 500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dale Earnhardt was definitely a hero to his family â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no one can say more about that than his children,â&#x20AC;?

Teresa Earnhardt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through them, his friends and fans, through this Hall of Fame, through you, Dale Earnhardt, the legend, lives on.â&#x20AC;?

The Earnhardtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closed a ceremony that was rich on family ties but short on individual celebration. Since only two members of this inaugural class are still living, inductions and acceptances fell to family members and close friends who shared stories that drew laughter and an occasional tear.

GOLF Mid-Carolina event played at Trace CAROLINA TRACE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The MidCarolina Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golf Association held its third event of the year at Carolina Trace Country Club on the Lake Course on Monday.

The Association is made up of 12 regional golf clubs which each bring a 10-member team to compete under USGA rules for individual gross score (five each), individual net scores (15 each) and then low team net score of all 10 players.

An unusual situation happened on Monday when Sid Barnett of Woodlake Country Club had a career round of 74 (Gross) with a 62 (Net) to win the medalist honors and also the low net honors. Since you can only earn prizes one way, Barnett was awarded the higher value net prize.

The top gross score winner was then Mike Tencza of Pinewild with a 75).

After Barnett, Ralph Martin of Carolina Trace (64) was second in the net division.

Team honors went to Woodlake Country Club with a 10-member total of 726. Other clubs: Pinewild (727), Carolina Trace (729), Anderson Creek (736), Beacon Ridge (737), Pinehurst (739), Foxfire (765), Seven Lakes (771), Kings Grant (782), Deercroft (791), and Whispering Pines (801).

Pinewild continues to lead the year-to-date standings with a total of 2,162 after three events. The remaining clubs are: Carolina Trace (2,185), Woodlake (2,219), Pinehurst (2,220), Anderson Creek (2,227), Foxfire (2,252), Beacon Ridge (2,254), Seven Lakes (2,279), Whispering Pines (2,323), Deercroft (2,335), Kings Grant (2,371) and Bayonet (2,382).

Roddick wins in 5 sets at French

PARIS (AP) — Andy Roddick’s preparation for this French Open was hardly traditional. Or ideal, from a purely tennis perspective, anyway.

He skipped a claycourt event in Rome so he could celebrate his one-year wedding anniversary with his wife, Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model Brooklyn Decker. He missed another tuneup tournament in Madrid because of a stomach virus.

Scrambling to get set, Roddick played a couple of hastily arranged exhibitions and practiced a bunch at Roland Garros with fellow pro Mardy Fish, a pal since high school. If Roddick felt he needed more match time on his least favorite surface, he accumulated it in a hurry Monday, digging himself out of a hole and coming back to beat Jarkko Nieminen of Finland 6-2, 4-6, 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-3 in the French Open’s first round.

“It’s kind of like when you miss an assignment in school, and they give you a chance to get extra credit. I’ve been trying real hard to get extra credit ... and I definitely wasn’t match-tough,” the sixth-seeded Roddick said. “There was a lot of ugliness out there today.

But at the end of it, I get to play again.”

SPORTS BRIEFS Sox OF Cameron activated from DL

University of Michigan athletic director David Brandon, left, and head football coach Rich Rodriguez look on during a tele-conference on Tuesda in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Michigan details its football woes to NCAA ANN ARBOR, Mich.

(AP) — The University of Michigan admitted Tuesday to a series of violations in its storied football program, saying it doesn’t believe the problems related to practice time and coaching activities are enough to warrant major punishment from the NCAA. Athletic director David Brandon characterized the disclosure as one of relief.

“I don’t think this is a black eye,” he said. “This is a bruise.”

Michigan released more than 150 pages detailing its investigation and self-imposed sanctions it hopes will satisfy the NCAA, which will hold a hearing on the case in

August. A final decision on NCAA penalties could take months, but coach Rich Rodriguez is not worried about that distracting his players.

“I don’t think this ongoing case will affect them at all,” Rodriguez said. “I think our players are very excited about the season and our staff is excited.”

The sanctions included a recommendation for two years of probation for the NCAA’s winningest football program, which is 8-16 in two seasons under Rodriguez. The school also said seven people, including Rodriguez, had been reprimanded and another was fired.

“We believe that probation is typically one of the outcomes of major

violations,” Brandon said.

“Probation puts your program under a microscope.”

The school said it should not be tagged as a repeat offender despite a 2003 scandal in the basketball program — a key argument, since the designation would almost certainly mean harsher penalties from the NCAA. “We’re imposing on ourselves what we believe is corrective actions,” Brandon said in an interview with The Associated Press. “Ultimately, the NCAA will decide what the appropriate sanctions and penalties are.”

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Boston Red Sox have activated outfielder Mike Cameron from the 15-day disabled list.

Cameron was in the starting lineup for Tuesday night’s game against Tampa Bay. The center fielder missed 34 games with a lower abdominal strain.

Red Sox manager Terry Francona said Cameron will get playing time in left during the “near future” in an attempt not to overtax him.

In those games, Jacoby Ellsbury would start in center.

Also, Boston catcher Victor Martinez, who left Monday’s game with a bruised left big toe, was availble off the bench in an emergency situation.

Red Sox right-hander Josh Beckett, on the DL with a lower back strain, had a long toss and short mound session. He could throw a full bullpen on Friday.

Royals purchase contract of INF Wilson Betemit KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have purchased the contract of switch-hitting infielder Wilson Betemit from their Triple-A affiliate in Omaha.

The move was announced Tuesday.

The 28-year-old Betemit hit .265 in 29 games with Omaha. He is a career .258 hitter with 42 home runs and 154 RBIs in 516 big league games with Atlanta, the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox. His best season came in 2005, when he hit .305 in 115 games with Atlanta.

K-Rod, Manuel downplay closer’s spat with coach NEW YORK (AP) — The Mets acknowledge that closer Francisco Rodriguez and bullpen coach Randy Niemann had an argument during a game last weekend, but New York manager Jerry Manuel says the matter is resolved.

Manuel confirmed Tuesday that Rodriguez and Niemann got into a spat Sunday night while K-Rod was preparing to enter a game against the New York Yankees.

The New York Times reported that the two had a heated exchange in the bullpen during the ninth inning and had to be separated by other pitchers.

Zambrano likely to start next week CHICAGO (AP) — Carlos Zambrano will likely be back in the Chicago Cubs’ rotation next week after throwing 75 pitches in a simulated game on Monday.

Manager Lou Piniella says Zambrano will be available for short relief beginning on Thursday and probably start during the three-game series at Pittsburgh early next week, ending an uncomfortable stint in the bullpen.

Braves place Clevlen on DL MIAMI (AP) — Atlanta outfielder Brent Clevlen was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, two days after he sprained his right big toe making a leaping catch against Pittsburgh.

To replace Clevlen, the Braves recalled Gregor Blanco from Triple-A Gwinnett.

game. Spivey also says that he will have the same lineup that he’s had the last few weeks.

“We’re not changing a thing,” said Spivey. “We’re keeping the same lineup and everything. This is just an extra day for us. It’s just an extra day of rest for our guys.”

Lee County swept the season series with Apex, winning both games by a total of 12-6. Apex, however, has knocked off two conference foes in a row in Athens Drive and top-seeded Holly Springs to get one step closer to the regional final.

“It’s going to be a really tough game for us,” said Spivey. “Apex is on a roll right now and they aren’t the same team as they were a month ago. They’ve beaten two of the toughest teams in our league consecutively and they are rolling right now.”

Apex earned a 10-3 victory over Holly Springs in the third round to win its third straight game, will most likely be pitching Harry Voorhees, who threw 5 2/3 innings in the win over the Golden Hawks. Voorhees will most likely be going on the mound again when the Cougars battle the Yellow Jackets.

gars added two more runs in the frame to build a 10-3 lead, a lead that was never surrendered.

With the rain hitting the area hard on Sunday and Monday, the Yellow Jackets have been unable to get onto the field to practice. Since winning at Broughton last Friday, Lee County will enter tonight’s game not having practiced due to the field conditions.

“The only thing that really concerns me is that we haven’t been able to get on the field this week to practice,” said Spivey. “At the same time, I don’t think Apex has been able to get on their field either. Let’s just hope the weather is nice and that the sun comes out on Wednesday and dries up the field and we can play this thing. I know how eager our kids are about getting out there on the field and playing.”

With the rainout on Tuesday, Frye will now have eight days of rest headed into tonight’s game. The last time Frye pitched in Sanford, he threw a five-hit, six-strikeout gem against Fuquay-Varina to help the Yellow Jackets qualify for the postseason.

Frye is coming off a three-hit shutout against Richmond County in the second round.

“I’m going to be a little nervous before the game, but that really helps me focus,” said Frye after Lee County’s 6-3 win over Broughton in the third round last week.

Spivey, who isn’t taking Apex lightly whatsoever, still used Tuesday’s day off to go to Greenville and scout both Wilmington Laney and J.H. Rose. With a win tonight, the Yellow Jackets will play the winner of Rose and Laney in a best-of-three series for a chance at the state championship.

“I’m not looking ahead or anything, but I wanted to go ahead and watch Laney and Rose since both were playing,” said Spivey. “The disadvantage to that is that the winner of that game can now come out and scout both us and Apex on Wednesday and see both of us play.”

The magical run by the Yellow Jackets has generated a lot of buzz not just in Lee County High School but in all of Lee County as well.

Spivey has told his team on numerous occasions that they still have a job to do.

Win. “The kids understand that there are a lot of other teams that would love to still be playing and be in the position we’re in right now but they can’t afford to get caught up in the moment,” said Spivey. “They understand that and I think they’ve embraced that. They’re enjoying it, though, and they should.

They’ve earned this.”

CELTICS AT MAGIC — ESPN, 8:30 P.M.

SPORTS BRIEFS Fisher: Titans hope to sit down with Johnson soon

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher said Tuesday the Titans would like to meet and talk with unhappy running back Chris Johnson before the team’s next minicamps in June.

Johnson has stayed away from the team’s offseason program and voluntary minicamps including Tuesday’s session. The Associated Press NFL 2009 Offensive Player of the Year wants a pay hike after becoming the sixth man in league history to rush for at least 2,000 yards.

The Titans have argued publicly that Johnson has three years left on the fiveyear, $12 million deal signed in 2008 that guaranteed him about $7 million. Team officials also have noted rules in the final year of the league’s collective bargaining agreement limit pay raises to 30 percent, also making a new deal impossible without paying millions up front.

Lightning hire Steve Yzerman as new GM

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Hall of Famer Steve Yzerman is the Tampa Bay Lightning’s new general manager, taking on the task to rebuilding a franchise that’s fallen on hard times since winning its only Stanley Cup championship six years ago.

The former Detroit Red Wings captain and executive was introduced Tuesday as Brian Lawton’s replacement during a press conference at St. Pete Times Forum. Lawton and coach Rick Tocchet were fired April 12.

“This is a long-term project for me. I believe building a Stanley Cup caliber team

takes time and there will be many decisions, some lengthy, that will be made over the course of time,” Yzerman said.

Coach Tomlin steps in for Big Ben at youth camp PITTSBURGH (AP) — Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been booted from a youth football camp in Pittsburgh, with coach Mike Tomlin taking over as his lastminute replacement.

Tomlin has agreed to fill in for his quarterback in putting on a three-day youth football camp that will be held next month at a suburban Pittsburgh high school.

Roethlisberger was accused of sexually assaulting a 20-year-old college student in Milledgeville, Ga., in March. Although he was not charged, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended the two-time Super Bowl champion six games.

NJ man admits to vomit assault at Phillies game PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A 21-year-old New Jersey man pleaded guilty Tuesday to vomiting on another spectator and his 11-year-old daughter in the stands during a Philadelphia Phillies game.

Matthew Clemmens, of Cherry Hill, N.J., pleaded guilty to one count each of simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment for his conduct during an April 14 Phillies-Nationals game at Citizens Bank Park.

Clemmens stuck his fingers down his throat and vomited on Michael Vangelo, an off-duty Easton police captain, and one of Vangelo’s daughters after Clemmens’ companion was ejected from the park, Assistant District Attorney Patrick Doyle said.

Magic look to put pressure on Celtics ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Philadelphia Flyers cap Celtics forward Rasheed Wallace has been wearing to support his hometown team might not be something Boston fans want to see.

Especially now.

More than a week after the Bruins blew an 0-3 series lead to the Flyers, the Celtics are getting an unwanted trip back to Orlando.

They’ll try to close out the Magic again Wednesday night or put a city that knows all too well about such comebacks halfway to their latest installment.

“It can be done,” said Magic guard Jameer Nelson, a St. Joseph’s

alum who grew up outside Philly.

Only four times in the history of North American major pro sports leagues has a team won a playoff series after losing the first three games. Of course, that might not mean much to Boston fans.

It has happened three times in the NHL — most recently by the Flyers — and once in baseball, when the Boston Red Sox came back to beat the New York Yankees in the 2004 AL championship series.

It’s just never been done in the NBA. “At some point,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said, “somebody is

going to come from 3-0 down and win a series.”

Here’s Orlando’s chance to take another step toward history.

The Magic have Game 5 and — if necessary — Game 7 on their home floor, meaning if they can shift things back to Boston, a series that was seemingly over would suddenly have new life — and a ton of pressure on the Celtics.

Orlando’s overtime win in Game 4 showed the grit of a team that had played all year wanting to redeem its NBA finals loss to the Lakers. The debacle that put them in an 0-3 hole, getting blown out with little resistance, did not.

Lefty

back weeks out of the money for the first time — than with Lefty.

What makes this amazing is how quickly it changed.

Even after Mickelson won the Tour Championship last September, Woods’ average was nearly twice as high.

But the longer Woods stayed away from golf while dealing with the fallout from his infidelity, the more points he lost. Mickelson took a big step by winning at Augusta National, his only victory this year, and finishing second alone at Quail Hollow with a birdie on the last hole.

What makes this different from previous times that Woods gave up the No. 1 ranking is that if Mickelson fails to catch him soon, there’s no shortage of players right behind him.

Lee Westwood of England is No. 3, not quite in range but getting closer.

He has finished no worse than third in the last three majors, and he appears to have figured out how to play his best golf in the biggest events. Steve Stricker is No. 4, although Colonial will be his first tournament since the Masters because of a chest injury. Jim Furyk, a two-time winner this year, is next at No. 5.

“Tiger’s performance and schedule and things like that are unpredictable at the moment, aren’t they?”

Westwood said last week. “We have all seen that the last few weeks. Phil is obviously a world-class player and has already won a major this year, but you know, his performances are very much up-and-down as well.

“I suppose No. 2 and No. 1 are more achievable than they have been in the last few years.”

Ian Poulter, who is No. 6, was quoted in a British golf magazine a few years ago as saying that when he reaches his potential, it will be him and Woods at the top of the ranking.

But is it a given that Woods will be there at the end of the year?

“I can see anybody in the top 10 in the world — if they play great for a spell of three, four months, have a couple of wins and a couple of big finishes — certainly get to the points that Tiger is at now, for sure,” Poulter said.

One thing hasn’t changed. Losing the No. 1 ranking depends more on Woods than the players chasing him.

The other two times Woods lost his No. 1 ranking, he was revamping his game. He won only two tournaments in 1998, and when the changes with Butch Harmon finally took hold, Duval had passed him in the spring of ’99. Woods reclaimed No. 1 for good by winning the PGA Championship that year at Medinah, and he kept it for the next 264 weeks.

Continued from Page 1B

placed Woods at No. 1 by beating him at the TPC Boston for one of his nine victories that year. Singh finished the final four months at No. 1 — not long enough to win the McCormack Award — and didn’t give it back until Woods won the Masters the next April.

Phil Mickelson appears to be next in line.

The Masters champion needs only to win Colonial this week to become the 13th player to occupy No. 1 since McCormack, the late founder of IMG, devised the ranking system in 1986.

Colonial is more meaningful than ever for Mickelson, for it was last year when the tournament staged a “Pink Out” to support his wife, Amy, who had just learned she had breast cancer.

Mickelson has never been No. 1 at anything in a career that has been second to one. Despite his 40 worldwide victories and four majors, he has never won the money list, player of the year, the FedEx Cup, the Vardon Trophy or reached No. 1 in the world.

If it doesn’t happen at Colonial, it figures to happen soon. A change at the top seems inevitable, more because of what’s going on with Woods — chaos in his personal life, back-to-

Reyna outlines plans for U.S. Youth Soccer

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The only way the United States will catch up to the rest of the soccer world is by starting young.

That’s the message Claudio Reyna delivered to a group of youth coaches Tuesday. Recently hired as the U.S. Soccer youth technical director, Reyna outlined a national curriculum for develop ing players through all levels of American soccer.

“The leading nations, in whatever way they got to their level, they do have a way of doing things,” the former national team captain said.

“We’re going to create our own way. Our potential is huge. We’ve just started.”

Reyna spoke before the U.S. team played the Czech Republic in a warmup game for the World Cup. He stressed that a nationwide plan for developing talent would

eventually boost U.S. fortunes throughout the sport, from youth teams through high school, college and the pros.

“We can’t lose sight of the development of our players,” he said.

“Everyone is looking at (their own development system) all around the world. This doesn’t capture the attention of a World Cup, but understanding the solutions ... is what all of us in this boat are learning. We do need to get better and we want to get better and the easiest way to do that is through coaching.”

U.S. Soccer will release its curriculum later this summer. It will concentrate on three levels: Zone 1 (under-6 to under-12), Zone 2 (12 to 18) and Zone 3 (elite players, including colleges and

professionals).

Each level will have set parameters in tactics, technique, fitness and psychology, providing direction for coaches to develop players to their fullest. Reyna said that approach is critical because it means players in California or Florida or Connecticut are being taught the basics in the same way. He’s seen such methods work abroad and has no doubt that is the way to go in the United States.

“It’s age-appropriate player development,” he said, noting that tactics and psychology won’t apply to the youngest players. “We can provide the vision to coaches through this curriculum.”

The curriculum also covers coaching methodology and nutrition.

DEAR ABBY: I am in shock.

My brother, “Paul,” invited me to lunch yesterday and introduced me to an 18-year-old girl, “Amy,” whom he says is his daughter from a woman other than his wife.

Naturally, she was full of questions about me and the rest of the family.

I don’t know why Paul chose to reveal Amy’s existence to me -- and only me -- but I told my brother he needs to share his “secret” with all concerned. I don’t think it’s fair for Amy to be deprived of meeting her father’s side of the family.

I also don’t want anyone to get hurt, but Amy has been hurt enough by this secret. I am uncomfortable that my brother has included me in this conspiracy, and I’m not sure how to handle this. Any ideas?

— IN THE MIDDLE IN NEW JERSEY DEAR IN THE MIDDLE: On some level your brother may want the truth to come out, because when a secret is shared it’s no longer a secret. So tell your brother that you refuse to be his co-conspirator, and that you feel his keeping Amy isolated from the family is unfair to her. Then give him a deadline to come clean, with the understanding that if he doesn’t, you will. o DEAR ABBY: Now that I have

I suspect that two of the men in the office are involved with each other, and I’m not close enough to anyone else to inquire.

I have no problem with their sexual orientation, but I don’t want to put my foot in my mouth by inviting them as a couple. What would you think of posting an invitation (postcards and e-vites) to all employees and their dates? I ordinarily wouldn’t, but being a little “gauche” seems better than being downright rude. I suspect the men downplay their relationship, and I don’t want to invade their privacy.

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “Luke” for about three months. He’s a sweet and thoughtful guy who cares about me, and I care for him as well.

My problem is I have never been the kind of person who likes to be touched. It makes me feel tense and uneasy. Luke likes to touch me constantly — stroking my cheek, rubbing the back of my neck, or kissing my cheeks and forehead.

It isn’t that I don’t like hugs or kisses, but too much drives me crazy. How do I explain this to Luke without hurting his feelings?

— ENOUGH IN THE SOUTHWEST DEAR ENOUGH: A good start would be to say to him exactly what you have communicated to me. And when you do, tell him to please not take your feelings as personal rejection. Different people have different needs for closeness and affection. Because the constant touching makes you uncomfortable, you and Luke must reach a compromise that’s acceptable to both of you — or you’re not the girl for him.

Guinness finds Minn. man is tallest in US

How does it feel? Teenager shows he’s ‘got Dylan’

ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) — Guinness World Records has recognized a Minnesota man as the tallest man in the United States.

The Guinness World Record Association measured Rochester’s Igor Vovkovinskiy at 7 feet, 8.33 inches tall during NBC’s “The Dr. Oz Show” on Monday. He edged out Norfolk, Va., sheriff’s deputy George Bell by a third of an inch.

The 27-year-old Vovkovinskiy is originally from Ukraine but moved to Minnesota with his mother when he was 7 years old for treatment at the Mayo Clinic for a pituitary disease that spurred his rapid growth.

Vovkovinskiy now attends the Minnesota School of Business and is pursuing a degree in paralegal studies.

Guinness says the world’s tallest man is Turkey’s Sultan Kosen. He measures in at 8 feet, 1 inch tall.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — How does it feel to be a Bob Dylan soundalike?

Twenty performers gave it a shot Monday at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis to celebrate Dylan’s 69th birthday - including 14-year-old Max Etling, who won the informal contest last year.

Some imitated Dylan’s yowling voice and blew harmonica. Max, an eighth-grader from Wayzata (wy-ZET’-uh), wore a “got dylan?” T-shirt as he tackled songs like “Shot of Love” on solo acoustic guitar, then went electric with a band.

Max first entered the contest in sixth grade.

He says his dad, who was there with him, has played him Dylan since he was crawling on the ground.

The bar has held the contest since 1980 as a tribute to Dylan, a Minnesota native who got his start in Twin Cities coffeehouses. No winner was named this year.

Banned Pa. gambler has to give back $2,001 jackpot ERIE, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania man who won a $2,001 slot machine jackpot must forfeit the winnings and will be charged with trespassing, because he had previously banned himself from casinos under a state program for problem gamblers.

State police have not identified the 55-year-old Waterford Township man who won the jackpot Friday at Erie’s Presque Isle Downs & Casino.

Under the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board’s self-exclusion program, problem gamblers can choose to ban themselves from casinos for one year, five years or for life. Banned players are charged with criminal trespass if they enter a casino and must forfeit any winnings.

SUDOKU

Some spat-upon NYC bus drivers take months off NEW YORK (AP) — New York City bus drivers took an average of two paid months off last year after being spat upon by upset riders.

The indignity is considered an assault under the drivers’ union contract. That entitles them to take a paid break.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority said Monday that 83 drivers were spat on last year.

Of those, 51 took an average of 64 paid days off. One driver took 191 days of paid leave.

The drivers made up one-third of the number of transit workers who took time off due to assaults.

The drivers’ union says the encounters cause psychological trauma, because workers they may contract a disease or be assaulted again.

Make God your shield against evil Q: I often wonder why God allows bad things to happen — things like wars, and diseases that kill young children. Does God sometimes make a mistake and let things happen that really shouldn’t have happened?

— P.D. A: We don’t always understand why God allows some things to happen; we wish we could, but in all honesty they remain a mystery to us.

Some day, when we get to heaven, we will understand — but until then, all we can do is learn to trust God, even in the dark places of life. As the Bible says, “We live by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7).

But no — God does not make mistakes. That doesn’t mean He is directly responsible for everything that happens in the world; evil is real, and some things happen in spite of God’s perfect will. But God is perfect in all He does — because He is God, and God is perfect. He isn’t like we are, sinful and limited and imperfect; He is absolutely without sin.

And because He is perfect, we can trust Him in every situation we will ever face — without exception. The Bible says, “As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him” (Psalm 18:30). If you have never done so, make Him your “shield” against the evils of this world by opening your heart and life to Jesus Christ.

Yes, this world is filled with heartache and sorrow. But it won’t always be that way!

Some day, Christ will come again, and death and sin and Satan will be banished.

Nokia to run Yahooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maps on phones

By BARBARA ORTUTAY

Inside the deal

AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nokia Corp. will run mapping and navigation services for Yahoo Inc. in an acknowledgement that the slumping Internet company hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kept up with rival Google Inc. in the increasingly important area of location services.

Yahoo will, in turn, provide e-mail and instant messaging services on Nokia phones, as part of the worldwide partnership announced Monday.

Yahoo has been working to focus on its core businesses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; creating and licensing content, selling online ads and providing messaging services â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while turning to partners to run some of its other offerings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just allows us to deliver better experiences than everybody trying to do the same thing,â&#x20AC;? Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz said in an interview.

Partnerships, she said, are increasingly becoming a part of Yahooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DNA. Last year, the company entered a 10-year Internet search partnership with Microsoft Corp. in an effort to whittle away Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership. On Monday, Yahoo said it will drop its Yahoo Personals brand for its dating service and partner with Match.com, a standalone dating website owned by

THE DEAL: Mobile phone maker Nokia Corp. will run mapping and navigation services for Yahoo Inc., while the Internet company will provide e-mail and instant messaging services on Nokia phones.

YAHOOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S VIEW: Working to restore its luster, Yahoo has been focusing on its core businesses, such ads and messaging, and turning to partners to run other offerings such as search and now maps.

LOCATION, LOCATION: Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz says location is becoming increasingly important on PCs as well as mobile devices, as people want to know where they are, where their friends are and what is around. And locationbased ads are a potentially lucrative market.

IAC/InterActiveCorp.

The maps deal with Nokia, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 maker of mobile phones, covers both phones and computers.

Bartz said Yahoo has â&#x20AC;&#x153;chosen to invest in other areasâ&#x20AC;? in recent years.

That put the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s navigation services well behind Google, which has continued to innovate.

Google was the first, for example, to offer the now-common feature of letting users move their location on an online map by dragging it with a mouse, rather than repeatedly clicking arrows and waiting for the pages to refresh. More recently, it offered free software that provides spokenaloud, turn-by-turn directions on phones running its Android system.

Yahoo and Nokia wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disclose financial details of the deal, but they both stand to

benefit from the otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reach and expertise.

The services will be co-branded, with Yahooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s navigation services and maps â&#x20AC;&#x153;powered byâ&#x20AC;? Ovi, Nokiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brand of software and services. Nokiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ovi Mail and Ovi Chat will likewise be â&#x20AC;&#x153;powered byâ&#x20AC;?

Yahoo. The services will start to become available later this year and will be offered worldwide in 2011.

Bartz said location is becoming increasingly important as people want to know where they are, where their friends are and what is around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of the anchor for all services,â&#x20AC;? she said.

While advertising was not part of Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both Nokia and Yahoo said their ad strategies havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by upping the ante on its location services, Yahoo should benefit from advertising based on it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the PC side, any of the mapping services

Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo said the deal brings Yahooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services to more people around the world, including those whose first Internet experience is through mobile.

And it increases the Finland-based companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visibility in the U.S., where its phones are not as popular as they are in the rest of the word.

Although Nokia devices dominate worldwide, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overshadowed in the U.S.

by Apple Inc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iPhone and Research In Motion Ltd.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BlackBerry.

Standard and Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s analyst Scott Kessler believes the Nokia and Match.com deals will help Yahoo expand its mail and messenger footprints, enhance its offerings and improve the profitability of its dating services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a little disappointed there is no pact to sell Personals ... but think these deals will add value,â&#x20AC;? he said in a note to investors.

Shares of Yahoo rose 22 cents to $15.70 in afternoon trading. U.S.traded shares of Nokia slid a penny to $10.06.

LONDON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A strike by cabin crew disrupted British Airways flights for a second day on Tuesday, mainly at Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heathrow airport, one of Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busiest travel hubs.

The airline is struggling to operate as many flights as possible during the five-day walkout by the British Airlines Stewards and Stewardesses Association.

Until 8 a.m. (0700 GMT) Tuesday, the departure board at Heathrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terminal 5 showed all BA flights leaving on schedule. The first cancellations were for the 8:25 a.m. flight to Geneva and the 8:30 to Glasgow.

More cancellations were likely. On Monday, all arriving flights after 8:25 p.m. were canceled, and so were all the departures, according to the Terminal 5 website.

BA says it operated a full schedule from Gatwick and London City airports, compared with no more than 60 percent from Heathrow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our global operations went well yesterday and we have again got off to a very good start this morning,â&#x20AC;?

British Airways said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The numbers of cabin crew reporting at Heathrow are still at the levels we need to operate our published schedule and Gatwick cabin crew continue to report as normal.â&#x20AC;?

The program, which runs through September 6, features an online photo contest, with the winner receiving a vacation package worth $2,500. Participants have to download and print a sign that reads â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Love it Hereâ&#x20AC;? and then take a

Govt: About 45 million Americans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buckle up WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The government estimated Monday that 45 million Americans are not buckling up in their cars, a poor habit that factors into thousands of highway deaths every year.

The Transportation Department released its estimate of seat belt use as it kicked off the annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Click It or Ticketâ&#x20AC;? campaign. The department said 84 percent of motorists wore their seat belts in 2009, an all-time high, but that still left millions of unbelted Americans on the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roads. Eightythree percent were buckled up in 2008.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said an average of 38 unbelted people a day are killed in motor vehicle crashes. In 2008, nearly 14,000 motorists not wearing seat belts were killed in motor vehicle crashes. Half could have been saved if they had buckled up, he said.

Statistics compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that those least likely to buckle up are teens and young adults, males, nighttime riders, motorists traveling on rural roads and motorists riding in pickup trucks.

New airport opens in northwest Florida PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A new airport near Panama City, Fla., has opened with service available from the beach resort on Southwest and Delta airlines.

Backers said Monday itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first commercial airport with international service to be built in the United States in 15 years.

The St. Joe Co., a real estate developer with large land holdings in the area, attracted Southwest Airlines Co. to the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport by agreeing to cover the airline against any losses for three years.

Southwest will operate two daily nonstop flights to Houston, Nashville, Orlando and Baltimore. The airlineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chairman and CEO, Gary Kelly, was on hand for a beach-themed opening ceremony on Monday.

Delta Air Lines Inc. had already been providing service at an existing airport in the area but expanded with larger aircraft at the new airport, according to St. Joe, which donated 4,000 acres for the airportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction.

Beating summer boredom

A

ith school winding down and summer right around the corner, those of you with children may be faced with the old “I’m bored, and I can’t find anything to do” routine.

And how many of you respond to these heartwrenching laments by offering up a detailed list of boredom reducing activities such as cleaning their room, cutting the grass, or washing the car? Chances are, those suggesINSIDE tions are The extensure to sion’s weekly cure their Garden Guide boredom plus more faster than agriculture they can news say, “Never Page 7C mind me asking!”

Obviously, I am poking fun at a pretty common exchange between parent and child, but taking a closer look at this issue there may be some discouraging trends developing. Are children really displaying more intense feelings of boredom than they were ten to twenty years ago?

Professor Dianne Levin, Ph.D. describes a troubling trend seen in children today who say they are frequently bored, jump from one activity to the next, have trouble figuring out how to play when given open ended activities, and have a difficult time solving problems they have with other children. Even more troubling, this issue appears to have long-term effects that can stay with children into their teens and beyond.

Through other research, Dr. Jonathon Plucker from Indiana University has concluded that, “Finding things to do when bored is the way kids learn to be on their own, find out what interests them and what isn’t boring. That’s the problem we see with college students. The ones who have a hard time adjusting are those whose parents never transitioned into giving them more

s life changes, our habits must change to a certain extent as well. In what seems like another lifetime, but was actually only a little over six months ago, we had a routine. We had habits.

We had a way that we did things that worked well and that we loved. I specifically remember asking my husband one night at 8:30 as we sat down to dinner, “What would we ever do if we had a baby to care for as well?

INSIDE We are just See our now sitweekly Dining ting down Guide for to eat and local menu we would options have had Pages 4-5C to have a baby fed and bathed and entertained as well.”

Well, that baby is here, and our lifestyle has changed. And, therefore, so have our habits. And that is just fine with us.

Back in the old days, cooking was our main entertainment for the evening. We had fun concocting new things every night. We searched for new recipes, we invented recipes, we played with recipes and we loved it all.

Now, while we still love to do those things, it certainly has to be on a different level. Many nights a week our meals are more “semihomemade.” We reserve a few nights a week for the longer, more drawn out meal, but on a typical night these days, we don’t even start cooking until 7:15 or so. And that is while one of us is getting the baby ready for bed.

So, a while back I wrote about Ross’ homemade pizza. It was delicious. The crust was homemade, the sauce was homemade, and we always got creative with the toppings. Now that our house is for sale and our counter clutter, including our stand mixer, is all packed up, and I can’t eat tomatoes since they don’t agree with the

From Hannah Miles “Sundaes and Splits,” this tiramisu sundae is an adult take on summer ice cream classic.

Ice cream sundaes aren’t just for the kids

By The Associated Press This sophisticated sundae from Hannah Miles’ “Sundaes and Splits” has serious adult appeal. It takes its inspiration from the classic Italian dessert, tiramisu.

The mascarpone-based ice cream is rich and creamy, but not as sweet as most ice creams.

The sponge cookies get a generous soaking of coffee and coffee liqueur, though you also could use chocolate liqueur.

TIRAMISU SUNDAE Traditional recipes for making ice cream call for chilling it in the freezer to firm it up after it comes out of the ice cream machine. But for this recipe, it is best to assemble the sundaes immediately after the ice cream comes out of the machine.

This ensures it will be soft enough to work with.

Start to finish: 2 hours (time will vary depending on speed on ice cream machine) Servings: 4 For the syrup:

INSIDE More recipes, including chicken burgers and foccacia bread Page 6C 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules 1/3 cup boiling water 1/4 cup coffee or chocolate liqueur (such as Tia Maria or creme de cacao) For the mascarpone ice cream: 9 ounces mascarpone cheese 3/4 cup creme fraiche or sour cream 3/4 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, sifted 8 sponge finger cookies 1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips Cocoa powder, for dusting In a small bowl, dissolve the coffee granules in the boiling water. Add the liqueur and set aside to cool.

To make the ice cream, in a medium bowl mix together the mascarpone cheese, creme fraiche and heavy cream. Stir in the powdered sugar. Churn in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer’s

instructions.

To assemble, break 4 of the sponge finger cookies into pieces and arrange some in the bottom of each of the sundae dishes. Drizzle with a little of the coffee liquid until moist.

Sprinkle a few chocolate chips over each, then dust with cocoa.

Place a spoonful of the mascarpone ice cream into each dish and level the surface with the back of a spoon.

Arrange the remaining sponge fingers on top and drizzle over a little more of the coffee liquid. Sprinkle with a few more chocolate chips, add a further dusting of cocoa powder, then top with the remaining ice cream, again leveling the surface. Dust the top of each sundae liberally with cocoa powder and serve immediately.

Palahniukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new novel is style over substance

By CHRIS TALBOTT AP Entertainment Writer

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell-Allâ&#x20AC;? (Doubleday, 192 pages, $24.95), by Chuck Palahniuk.

Chuck Palahniuk is one of modern American fictionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most interesting stylists, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at it again in his latest novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell-All.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a slim book based on a kernel of an idea the author was left with after hearing stories about the fabrication of Lillian Hellmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memoirs.

Billed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the hyperactive love child of Page Six and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; caught in a tawdry love triangle with â&#x20AC;&#x2122;The Fan,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell-Allâ&#x20AC;? is a farcical send-up of American culture of the last century.

Written as a screenplay about the life of fading movie star Katherine Kenton, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell-Allâ&#x20AC;? is at its heart the story of the relationship between Kenton and her maid, Hazie Coogan. Coogan claims to play Henry Higgins to Kentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eliza Doolittle, orchestrating all the actressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; great moments.

Chasing off gold-digging suitors is among the maidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-appointed duties, but the latest paramour in Kentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life appears to have more in mind than hanky-panky.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s written his own tell-all book about the love affair, complete with a very unhappy ending meant to spur book sales.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much more to the plot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wafer-thin and almost secondary to a literary high-wire act Palahniuk pulls off for the most part.

The story is written much like a Page Six

entry, right down to the bolded names. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name-dropping and dishing as Palahniuk tries to recreate the trappings of a bygone era.

Hellman spins in and out of the picture, always in the midst of a preposterous story that puts her at the center of some of the 20th centuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important events.

At times itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a masterful feat. The question, however, is will his readers really get it?

Palahniukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s audience skews young, male and fervent, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tested those fans lately.

His last novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pygmy,â&#x20AC;? was written completely in a kind of pidgin English that is challenging (and eventually rewarding once mastered). The obstacle in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell-Allâ&#x20AC;? is that most of the names being dropped belong to people who had their 15 minutes of fame 50 years ago, and without a passing knowledge of yesteryearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebs, the humor can be lost in translation.

At the same time, the ease with which he seems to pull all this off leaves readers with a question: What will Palahniuk pull off next?

And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really all an author can ask.

Protecting against melanoma

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: Is melanoma hereditary? My dad died of it a few years ago at age 71, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to follow in his footsteps.

What can I do to guard against this deadly skin cancer? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; SUN SCREENED CINDY

Jim Miller

DEAR CINDY: While long-term sun exposure and sunburns are the biggest risk factors for melanoma, your genes can definitely play a role, too. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you should know.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit www.savvysenior.org.

is also a smart way to detect early problems.

Check your entire body, and be on the look-out for new growths, moles that have changed, or sores that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heal.

For self-examination tips and actual pictures of what to look for see skincheck.org.

Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at risk?

Each year, about 65,000 Americans develop melanoma â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the deadliest form of skin cancer. While anyone can get it, those most often diagnosed are Caucasians, age 50 and older. And those most vulnerable are people with red or blond hair, blue or green eyes, fair skin, freckles, moles, a family history of skin cancer and those who had blistering sunburns in their youth.

Sun safety

Self-defense

The best way you can guard against melanoma and other skin cancers (basal and squamous cell carcinomas), is to protect yourself from the sun, and if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re over age 50, get a fullbody skin exam done by a dermatologist each year. Self-examinations done every month or so

Even though you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change your skin or family history, you can control your sun exposure. Here are some tips and products to help, and remember, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late to start protecting your skin: n Stay in: Avoid the sun when possible from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. when the ultraviolet (UV ) rays are most intense. n Use sunscreen: Be sure to choose a â&#x20AC;&#x153;broadspectrumâ&#x20AC;? product that provides UVA and UVB protection and has a SPF (sun-protection factor)

of at least 30. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the rub-on lotions, try the continuous sprayon sunscreens which are easier to apply and reapply and less messy. n Sun pills: Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nonprescription sun-pill on the market called Heliocare that provides additional UV protection.

The pills are intended to supplement sunscreen, and are sold at drugstore chains for about $60 for a bottle of 60 pills. n Cover up: Thick or tightly woven cloths can help prevent the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rays from reaching your skin or you can purchase a variety of lightweight clothing and hats that offer maximum UV protection in their fabric. Coolibar.com and sunprecautions.com are good places to find such products. n Wash-in protection: SunGuard laundry additive (sunguardsunprotection.com) is another option that allows you to wash an invisible shield of sun protection right into your clothes. n Monitor yourself: Oregon Scientific Inc. (www2.oregonscientific. com) sells a handy UV monitor for $24 that will warn you when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had enough sun exposure. Or, you can check sites like epa.gov/sunwise which provides UV Index ratings where you are. n Wear sun shades: Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection can help prevent cataracts and macular degenera-

tion along with melanoma of the eye and skin cancer around the eyelids.

The Enrichment Center, which serves Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s older adults, is located at 1615 S. Third St. For more information, call (919) 776-0501.

Wednesday

Treatment If melanoma is caught and treated early, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly 100 percent curable. But if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not, the cancer can advance and spread to other parts of the body, where it becomes hard to treat and can be fatal. Standard treatment for melanoma is surgical removal. In advanced cases however, chemotherapy or radiation may also be used.

Savvy tip In the spring and summer, there are a variety of places that offer free skin cancer screenings. Check with the American Academy of Dermatology (888462-3376, aad.org/public/exams/screenings), which offers free screenings done by hundreds of volunteer dermatologists across the U.S. You can also find free screening through the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (asds.net/skincancerscreening.aspx), and the Skin Cancer Foundation (skincancer.org).

THE HEALTHY PLATE

A chicken burger with — Gasp! — good texture

A healthy focaccia bread hot off the grill

By J.M. HIRSCH AP Food Editor

Most chicken burgers suffer from a dry, mealy texture, qualities that don’t quite scream summer grilling fun.

Blame the bird.

Ground chicken generally has little or no fat. So by the time you’re done manhandling ground chicken into a patty and tossing it on the grill, you end up with a pretty forgettable burger. You could keep it moist by adding cheese. Of course, if you’re just adding saturated fat, why not just do a beef burger?

But I recently learned a trick from Christopher Kimball, founder and editor of Cook’s Illustrated magazine, that fixes the flaw.

When Kimball makes beef burgers, he skips ground beef and instead chops (note that I didn’t say grinds) his own sirloin and beef ribs in a food processor. The result is a magnificently chunky, moist burger. I decided to try the same technique with chicken breasts.

The result was great.

The burgers were delicious and moist. And that’s because, like Kimball’s beef burgers, mine were made from chunks of chicken, not ground meat.

The catch is that, also like Kimball’s burgers, prior to cooking my chicken burgers were very moist and delicate.

When you form the patties, they will seem gloopy. Rest assured, once they hit the grill, they firm up fine and flip with no trouble.

I flavored this burger with curry powder and

Using chunks of chicken breast, instead of typical ground chicken, makes this curried chicken burger with chive mayo moist and unlike many chicken burgers, memorable. topped it with sliced avocado, but both could easily be left out for a more traditional taste.

CURRIED CHICKEN BURGERS WITH CHIVE MAYO Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 4 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives 1 large egg 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon curry powder 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into large chunks 4 hamburger buns 1 avocado, pitted, peeled and thinly sliced Heat a grill to medium.

Oil the grates, or coat them with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ginger and chives. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and curry powder.

In a food processor, pulse the chicken breasts until well chopped but still chunky, about 10 seconds total. Scrape the sides of the bowl and pulse again if any large pieces remain.

Transfer the chopped chicken to the bowl with the egg mixture, then mix well.

Form the meat into 4 loose patties. They will be moist and not hold together well.

Use a spatula to carefully place the burgers on the grill and cook, covered, for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the burgers — they should be firm enough to move easily now — and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until an instant thermometer reads 165 F at the thickest part of the burgers.

To serve, place each burger on a bun, then top with mayonnaise and avocado.

Want to transform pizza from greasy to healthy? You can start by leaving off the cheese.

In fact, most of time it’s the toppings that turn pizza into junk food. Add sausage, pepperoni or bacon and your favorite pie by turns into a fat and calorie catastrophe.

It isn’t hard, however, to end up with a relatively healthy meal, especially when making it at home.

For lighter toppings stick with vegetables, starting with the traditional tomato sauce. Tomatoes are loaded with healthy antioxidants such as lycopene, plus they’re high in flavor and fat-free.

If you want to skip the sauce, you can make a white pizza sauce by pureeing roasted garlic cloves with a small amount of extra-virgin olive oil.

As for meat toppers, stay away from the greasy sausage and pepperoni.

Prosciutto is satisfying and has a great salty flavor, but is much less fatty than bacon.

If your heart is set on sausage, choose lower-fat turkey versions or even try vegetarian sausage crumbles, which are surprisingly tasty. You can find vegetarian sausage with other meat substitutes, usually in the produce or frozen foods sections.

Finally, for additional nutrients and dietary fiber, include some whole-wheat flour in the dough.

This grilled summer herb and olive focaccia gets intense flavor from fresh rosemary and thyme along with a handful of chopped Kalamata olives layered into the crust.

Fresh off the grill, this focaccia has a smoky flavor along with a tasty handful of Kalamata olives layered into the crust.

Grilling a pizza, focaccia or flatbread gives it a great smoky flavor and lets you avoid heating up your kitchen in summer. But if you like, you can bake this at 450 F for 12 to 15 minutes.

To make this light flatbread even easier to prepare, you can use a 1 1/2pound ball of store-bought white or wheat pizza dough for the crust.

GRILLED SUMMER HERB AND OLIVE FOCACCIAS Start to finish: 1 hour (25 minutes active) Servings: 8 For the dough: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) quick-rising yeast 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 3/4 warm water For the topping: 1/4 cup pitted and chopped Kalamata olives 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme In a food processor with a bread blade, combine both flours, the yeast, salt and sugar. Pulse to mix.

In a measuring cup, combine the oil and water. With the food processor running, gradu-

baby, and our evening time is much more limited… our pizza has changed. Our new pizza is definitely less homemade, but fits our new, hectic lifestyle. And it suits our taste buds just fine. Maybe it is because by the time we sit down for dinner at 8 something, our taste buds are too tired to care, but I don’t think so. White pizza meets our family’s needs and even leaves us with an hour or so to sit down in the evening and talk with each other.

And these days, that is a whole lot more valuable to me than a homemade crust.

ally pour the liquid through the feed tube. If the mixture is too dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of additional warm water. Process until the dough forms a ball, then process for 1 minute more to knead.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes before rolling.

Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Cut the dough into 4 pieces and roll out into circles. Sprinkle each piece of dough with some of the olives, then fold in half and then in quarters to incorporate the olives into the dough. Roll each ball of dough out again into a circle and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with a clean dishtowel and let rise at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a gas grill to high on one side and medium-low on the other.

Set 2 of the dough circles on the hot side of the grill and cook until the underside is golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Keep a close eye on the color, as grill temperatures vary widely.

Using tongs, flip the crusts to the cooler side of the grill, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with some of the herbs and close the lid of the grill. Cook, rotating once or twice, until hot and crisp. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, olive oil and herbs. Cut each focaccia in half to serve.

WHITE PIZZA Drizzle of olive oil 1 refrigerated pizza dough (we use Pillsbury thin crust) ¼ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon garlic powder 8 oz Italian blend shredded cheese ½ teaspoon oregano Black pepper to taste 6 slices deli ham, chopped 8 tablespoons ricotta cheese Crushed red pepper flakes Spread crust on pizza pan or baking sheet. Brush evenly with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt garlic powder.

Spread shredded cheese evenly over crust. Sprinkle the oregano and black pepper over the cheese. Top with deli ham. Dollop ricotta on top of pizza. Bake according to crust directions, until golden brown. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes and serve.

Navitat blends excitement with biodiversity lesson

By JOSH BOATWRIGHT An AP member exchange

BARNARDSVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better way to appreciate the rich biodiversity of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mountain forests than whizzing through their canopies at 30 mph.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the philosophy behind Navitat, a new adventure tour in Buncombe County that gives visitors an aerial view of nature as they zip from one giant tree to the next at heights of up to 200 feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to come here and be changed by what they hear and by what they see. If we can thrill them, their minds are open at that point, and we can sprinkle ideas about how important our forests are,â&#x20AC;? said Ken Stamps, managing partner with Navitat, which opened this weekend.

Western North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural beauty has drawn visitors for generations and made the area a hub for ecotourism.

Stamps, one of four partners behind the canopy tour, says his 10 ziplines were designed to weave harmoniously among towering chestnuts and poplars without harming the environment.

Like other outdoor tour operators that have popped up in the mountains in recent years, he sees the key to commercial success as being tied to conserving the natural beauty that makes his business possible.

OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE Outdoor recreation contributes an estimated $730 billion each year to the U.S. economy and supports almost 6.5 million jobs, according to a report by the Outdoor Industry Association.

About 25 percent of summer visitors to Asheville said they planned on doing some kind of outdoor activity during their stay, and 40 percent of those traveling with families had outdoor plans, according to a 2007 survey by the Asheville Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic ap-

responsibility.â&#x20AC;? Effects can also be seen in children who were not encouraged creatively and were not allowed to pursue their own independence.

These trends are pointing to a larger problem than children being bored or the inability to solve a classroom word problem. The larger issue here is a deficiency in the skills necessary to form mental images, think creatively, solve problems, visualize outcomes, and develop self-discipline.

So what can parents do to help their children develop more resourcefulness and greater creativity? Start by helping kids build a list of â&#x20AC;&#x153;boredom bustingâ&#x20AC;? activities.

Once they have done this a few times, they should be able to come up with a list of their own and eventually not even need one. Set some rules on the amount of television or video games kids can watch and play. This will encourage more creative thinking as opposed to imitating what they see on the screen. If you do allow kids to watch television during the day, encourage educational

peal led to the establishment of two national park units and tour companies specializing in rafting, mountain biking and rock climbing have had a growing presence here over the past 30 years.

While WNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism industry took a big hit during the recession, travel is beginning to pick up again, and those who visit are apt to spend money on unique experiences they believe are worth the price, said Marla Tambellini, assistant vice president and director of marketing for the visitors bureau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Consumers are looking for value, but value doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean cheap.

Value means they think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a worthwhile experience,â&#x20AC;? Tambellini said.

Established zipline operators like Scream Time Zipline in Boone have found business steadily climbing in the past three years, despite the price tag of $89 for the six-line, open-air course, owner Monie McCoury said.

Joe Moerschbaecher, owner of the Brevard-based tour company Pura Vida Adventures, says the key to the outdoor industry is offering guests an encounter with nature they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find by simply walking to a roadside waterfall or mountain overlook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to take them to places where not everybody is going. You kind of see the hidden gems as opposed to the bright, flashy, neon lights,â&#x20AC;? said Moerschbaecher, whose company leads backpacking, rock climbing, rafting and other tours.

Stamps and his partners carefully studied the tourism market and demographics of the Asheville area when deciding to invest $1.4 million to put Navitat here.

Zipping through the trees may sound like an activity reserved for the young and athletic, but everyone from children to their grandparents can do it as long as they meet some basic weight and health requirements, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It crosses almost all

markets. ... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly a family activity where you can go and prove to your kids that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still cool as a parent,â&#x20AC;?

Stamps said.

or thought provoking programs, ones that may promote physical activity or creative thinking. Also, try to give your children the opportunity to experience new things. Take them to the park, on a hike, or to a museum. Allow them to ask as many questions as they like.

This can encourage creative thinking and spark their interest in a variety of new areas.

The more you allow children the opportunity to be creative, the better they will get at it, and

the less bored they will become. By getting your children to stop playing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bored Gameâ&#x20AC;? and start thinking for themselves, the more likely you are to help improve their chances of happiness in the long run.

A NATURAL COURSE Navitat wants to distinguish itself as being the best and most naturally designed course among the handful of ziplines in WNC and others across the nation.

The 15 platforms throughout the course, designed by national course installer Bonsai Design Inc., are built around the trees without using any poles or artificial structures that might clutter the wooded environs.

Each steel cable is engineered for gradient, speed and curve to zip guests efficiently across spaces as far as 1,100 feet, Stamp said.

The 25 canopy tour guides not only ensure guests are safely attached to a cable at all times, but they also talk about how the mountains they are zipping through contain some of the oldest trees on the planet.

Glenn Palmer, a master gardener volunteer with the Buncombe County Cooperative Extension office, said he was impressed by what little impact the ziplines had on the 242acre property, just north of Barnardsville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My only regret was I was so engrossed in the technical aspect of it I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really get to fully appreciate the natural (surroundings),â&#x20AC;? said Palmer, 81, who recently took a preview tour of the course.

CONSERVATION ETHOS Stamps hopes Navitatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success will put Asheville on the map as a destination for canopy tours and open the door for five other locations across the country that share its ecological vision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the spirit of Asheville is part of what drew us here. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a respect and a love for nature, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ethos here of how people want to live their lives and why people come here that we felt was important for how we grow our company,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Dealing with deer O

h dear, oh dearâ&#x20AC;Ś oh deer! Where have the buds to my lily gone overnight?

My hostas are eaten to the ground and oh the roses! Such exclamations are not uncommon in Lee County (and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure others are said, less suitable for publishing!).

As humans populate areas that were traditionally deer habitat, conflicts between deer and humans are an everyday occurrence.

These four-legged, hoofed fiends eat your lovely landscape under the cover of darkness.

Deer can eat between six and eight pounds of plant material in a single day. Add in deer overpopulation and their browsing can be devastating to your landscape.

Deer will eat a wide selection of plants, especially plants with lush foliage. Unfortunately, your landscape offers an all-you-can-eat buffet for deer. Yes, deer eat grass and plants in the woods, but that hosta is quite a delicacy! When gardening in areas with a high deer population, a combination of management strategies is necessary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there is no foolproof solution.

Discouraging deer from entering the area by using fences is one of the most effective solutions. Deer have the potential for jumping extremely high in the air (8-12 feet), but in most cases an eightfoot fence will not do around a residential property. I have seen this method used with success around research farms and arboretums. Around the home, a five-foot fence at a 60 degree angle outward can confuse the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depth of vision. A double fence with two 5-6 foot fences spaced 4-5 feet apart also works. Electric fences also work, but

can be hazardous around households with small children.

A more visually appealing method is to use plants that are deer resistant. I use the word resistant because there are no plants that are deer proof. If the animal is hungry enough, any plant will do. There are extensive lists of plants that are less attractive to deer browsing available at our Center. Yes, some have thorns or are poisonous and would not be appropriate around young children. In general, deer resistant plants have thorny leaves or stems, a strong scent or taste, a poisonous sap, or hairy leaves. Not all deer resistant plants are ugly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there are some really beautiful trees, shrubs, and flowers.

There are a number of chemical repellents available which work by depositing an offending scent or taste that makes plants less attractive to deer. Most are applied directly to the foliage, but will

need to be reapplied regularly (especially after rain). Human hair and soap are low-cost solutions, but do not consistently repel deer.

Legal hunting of deer is another solution to decreasing the deer population; however, leave this to hunters.

The N.C. Wildlife Commission estimates that over 150,000 deer are killed each year. Yet, deer are still overpopulated, especially in urban areas where hunting is restricted or banned.

The battle between humans and deer will continue into the future. However, there are control methods that can be used around your home that can still create a beautiful landscape. Landscaping with deer can be a challenge and can be frustrating at times, but know that many people across the country have the same challenge.

For more information on gardening with deer and deer resistant plants, contact our Extension Office at 7755624 or reference HIL 575: Deer Problems in the Landscape.

UC BERKELEY

Plan to test freshmen DNA criticized

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — A plan by the University of California, Berkeley to voluntarily test the DNA of incoming freshman has come under fire from critics who said the school was pushing an unproven technology on impressionable students.

The university has said it will send test kits to 5,500 new students to analyze genes that help control the body’s responses to alcohol, dairy products and folic acid.

The voluntary tests are intended to spur conversation about the growing field of personal genomics, not predict the likelihood of disease, university officials said Thursday.

“We thought that this would be a more engaging vehicle for discussion than having them read a book or an article,” said Mark Schlissel, dean of biology at UC Berkeley.

Critics, however, worry that students could get the idea the school approves of widely available direct-to-consumer genetesting kits that claim to predict the risk of future health problems, said Jesse Reynolds, a policy analyst at the Center for Genetics and Society, a bioethics think thank.

Students might think, “Berkeley gave it to us. It must be good. UC Berkeley would never be giving its incoming students anything bad or controversial,” Reynolds said.

One such kit was set to go on sale at Walgreen’s pharmacies last week.

However, the chain changed its mind after

federal regulators said the kit’s manufacturer never submitted the product to the Food and Drug Administration for review, a requirement for medical devices.

University officials said they were careful to choose genes for testing that were not related to serious health issues.

“We wanted to pick genes in which the variants were very easy to understand, not threatening, and probably reveal information students have about themselves already,” said Jasper Rine, a UC Berkeley genetics professor who is spearheading the testing

program.

The program’s organizers said it was important to get students talking about the issues because genetic testing would likely become an everyday part of medicine in coming decades.

A key concern about many direct-to-consumer genetic tests is their reliance on studies that use statistics to determine how likely a particular gene variation is to be connected to a specific disease.

Many such studies are preliminary, but public health officials worry that without proper counseling, consumers are likely

to take their test results as definitive.

Schlissel said the science behind the tests being given to students was well-grounded in years of research. In addition, students arriving in the fall will be able to attend a presentation of the overall results for the entire incoming class and learn what the results mean.

All DNA will be collected privately, officials said. Students will use a barcode that only they have to locate their individual results, and the university said all DNA will be incinerated after the analysis is completed.
