Coach suspended after scuffle Director says little league coach out for season after fight with parent By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com
SANFORD — Lee County Parks and Recreation has suspended a local baseball coach after he scuffled with a fiery parent from an opposing team
last week. Parks and Recreation Director John Payne said the assistant coach, who he declined to identify, was told he could not coach for the rest of the season and banned from attending games against the
western Harnett County team that was on hand May 18. Payne said a coach of one of Lee County’s two teams for 13- to 14-year-old players became embroiled in a shouting match with an “obnoxious” parent from the opposing
CCCC
Harnett County team before beginning a “minor scuffle.” The argument came during an unofficial scrimmage between the teams at Tramway Road Park.

BROADWAY — Lee County deputies say they arrested a pair of illegal immigrants Tuesday on drug charges. The men, 20-year-old Elias Madrano and 21-year-old Giovanni Mondragon, were both residing at 469 Cozy Hollow Lane in Broadway, but are not legal American citizens, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators searched the Broadway home Tuesday and found 7 grams of coMadrano caine, 10 grams of marijuana, stolen power tools and various drug paraphernalia including packaging and scales, the Sheriff’s Office Mondragon said. Madrano and Mondragon were both charged with possession with intent to sell cocaine, possession with intent to sell marijuana, maintaining a dwelling to store drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of stolen property. Both are being held in Lee County Jail under a $20,000 secured bond. Lee County Sheriff Tracy Carter said his office typically notifies U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement of any illegal immigrants arrested, at which point individuals are usually detained or deported. Carter said many of the cocaine cases his office has

Today is Friday, May 28, the 148th day of 2010. There are 217 days left in the year. This day in history: On May 28, 1863, the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, made up of freed blacks, left Boston to fight for the Union in the Civil War. In 1533, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, declared the marriage of England’s King Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn valid. In 1892, the Sierra Club was organized in San Francisco. In 1918, the Battle of Cantigny began during World War I as American troops captured the French town from the Germans. In 1929, the first all-color talking picture, “On with the Show,” opened in New York. In 1934, the Dionne quintuplets — Annette, Cecile, Emilie, Marie and Yvonne — were born to Elzire Dionne at the family farm in Ontario, Canada. In 1937, Neville Chamberlain became prime minister of Britain. In 1940, during World War II, the Belgian army surrendered to invading German forces. In 1959, the U.S. Army launched Able, a rhesus monkey, and Baker, a squirrel monkey, aboard a Jupiter missile for a suborbital flight which both primates survived. In 1972, Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor, who had abdicated the English throne to marry Wallis Warfield Simpson, died in Paris at age 77.

CENTRAL CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Foundation’s annual Furniture Auction set for June 5 By KATHERINE McDONALD Special to The Herald
LILLINGTON — More than 100 pieces of handcrafted wood and metalwork, including lawn furniture, chests, jewelry boxes, grills, yard decorations and other items, are on the block at the tenth annual Central Carolina Community College Foundation Furniture Auction. The Auction, a popular event for those looking for quality wood and metal work, takes place
Saturday, June 5, in the Multipurpose Room of the Miriello Building on the college’s Harnett County Campus, 1075 E. Cornelius Harnett Blvd. Viewing starts at 11 a.m. and bidding at noon. Proceeds from the auction help provide scholarships for Harnett County students at the college through an endowed scholarship fund. The proceeds also pay for materials used to produce the auction items, which are made by
students in the college’s carpentry and welding classes at Harnett Correctional Institution. Creating pieces for the auction not only trains the HCI students in marketable skills but also encourages them to become contributing members of their communities when they are released. “These individuals will return to their communities,” said Bill Tyson, the college’s provost for Harnett County. “Knowing that what they create is
purchased by community members and benefits people connects the inmates to the community in a positive way. That is a good thing.” For more information on the auction, call the Harnett County Campus, (910) 893-9101. See pictures of the items being auctioned at the college’s website, www.cccc.edu. Click on the right arrow next to the “Learn More” boxes and then click on the Foundation Furniture Auction box.

Library announces details on summer reading program Special to The Herald
SANFORD — The Lee County Library’s 2010 summer reading program promises to be cooler than a trip to the water park. This year’s theme, “Make a Splash at Your Library,” will have children studying hurricanes with Channel 11 meteorologist Glenn Willey, learning about the ocean from a local scuba diver, getting up close and personal with pirates ... and more. Registration for elementary school-age children begins June 14 at 9 a.m. and will continue until all spaces are filled. Programs for school-age children meet once a week for an hour beginning the week of June 21 and continuing through July 22. Parents may register their children for the day and time that best fits their schedule, either Tuesdays at 10 a.m. or Thursdays at 2 p.m. The summer reading program will also include story times for infants through preschool-age children. Story times for children ages birth to 2 will meet on Mondays at 10 a.m. beginning Monday, June 14. Story times for children ages 3 to 5 will meet on Thursdays at 11 a.m. beginning June 17. Registration is not required for summer story times. A number of family-friendly programs are planned, including Monday Night Movies, which will begin at 7 p.m. on June 14 and continue through July 19. A different family-appropriate major movie will be shown each week. Registration is not required. There will be performances appropriate for audiences of all ages on four Wednesdays during the summer reading program. All performances will take place in the auditorium at the Lee County Community Arts Center, 507 N. Steele Street. The Lee County Library Teen Advisory Board will also be meeting this summer with a variety of activities planned. Their first summer activity will be Talent on the Green on Friday, June 4 at 7 p.m., which will feature a variety of local performers. The T.A.B. is open to all teens ages 12 to 18. The summer reading program was originally intended to keep schoolage children reading through the summer months in order to maintain their reading skills. Over the years the program has expanded to
include a range of ages, from babies to teens. Those who participate will receive a reading record to track the amount of time they spend reading. Everyone who completes their entire record—equivalent to approximately 16 hours of reading—will be eligible to attend the Grand Finale Pool Party at O.T. Sloan Pool on July 26 from noon until 2 p.m. Participants also receive prizes and other incentives during the course of the program. All summer reading programs and performances are free and available to residents of Lee County. A complete schedule of activities is available at the Lee County Library’s main branch, 107 Hawkins Avenue.

Memorial Day celebration in Lee would work
T
here’s a very understandable reason why you don’t see many Memorial Day events on Memorial Day in North Carolina. Everybody’s at the beach. Or the mountains. Or somewhere else other than home, as Memorial Day — the first three-day weekend of the year for those of us who don’t work for banks or schools — is the symbolic “beginning of summer” and the best time for many to go out and enjoy the sun and fun. But not all of us leave the comfortable confines of home, and because of our proximity to Fort Bragg and our growing community of retirees, Lee County is
home to a number of veterans from wars dating back to WWII. Add to this the fact that the Town of Broadway is home to the North Carolina Veterans Memorial — a structure we feel is the finest war memorial in our region — and it’s a wonder why there is Memorial Day event here. We think there should be, and we strongly believe such an event would be a hit here. Now, before we continue — yes, we know the Disabled American Veterans Chapter 5 hosts a service a 11 a.m. this year at the memorial in Broadway. And we sincerely hope it’s well attended. But we’re thinking larger scale — an event similar to Sanford’s
Family Fourth Festival held at Depot Park. Something that would not only attract the community, but out-of-towners as well. Broadway has proven it can host a party, too. The Broadway Our Way Festival is but in its infancy, and already it’s become a festival staple in Central North Carolina, drawing thousands in Year 1 and even more people this year. And the Memorial wall — built to “recognize the continuity of sacrifice between generations and to provide space for names from each succeeding generation to appear together on the same wall as members of the same brotherhood” according to its website — has proven it
can withstand a crowd. If you’ll remember, it hosted Ty Pennington and “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” for an afternoon so the show could shoot an opening sequence there. We hope the “powers that be” in Broadway and Lee County consider it. In Thursday’s Herald, we reported on Lee County’s new focus on creating a tourism authority, and when the Memorial Day idea came up, we looked around. There aren’t a ton of events in our area dedicated to our veterans — the men and women whom this day is created for. All we could find within a short driving distance (other than the 11 a.m. service in Broadway) was
Chatham County’s annual event in Goldston, which will host Congressman Bob Etheridge as the keynote speaker. We believe a Memorial Day celebration — done right — could become a signature event for Lee County. We’ve got the memorial, and we’ve got the location. Fewer families are choosing the beach or the mountains because the price of gasoline just so happens to reach its peak each year around Memorial Day in order to benefit from all that traveling. The opportunity is there to bring people to Lee County, honor those who died fighting for our country and, likely, have a good time while doing so.

Runoffs
I
t was that oddest of political acts, a political party publicly beating up on one of its own. In this case, Republican Party officials weren’t simply content to endorse Tim D’Annunzio’s opponent in an 8th District congressional primary runoff. No, they wanted to bloody him so bad that there was no chance that he could win. State Republican Party chair Tom Fetzer called D’Annunzio “unfit for any office at any level.” A spokesman for the Republican National Congressional Committee in Washington has said publicly that he believes D’Annunzio’s opponent, former Charlotte TV sportscaster Harold Johnson, will win the runoff. What has D’Annunzio done to bring about all this party ire and angst? He’s gotten into vehement, public arguments at Republican Party functions. According to a judge, he’s called the government the “Antichrist.” He’s acknowledged a troubled past that included arrests. He’s held a “machinegun social” as a fund-raiser. But no matter how strange the Hoke County military contractor’s behavior, party officials might not be helping their cause. They may be doing D’Annunzio a favor. That’s because 2010 could be shaping up as the year of the anti-establishment. D’Annunzio certainly fits the bill. Democrats will have their own establishment-verses-anti-establishment runoff in the U.S. Senate race. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall is no Tim D’Annunzio. She holds a statewide elected office and has been a mainstay of the state Democratic Party for a couple of decades. But she’s not the choice of the party establishment in Washington, which doesn’t believe that she can beat incumbent Republican Sen. Richard Burr. The national Democratic Party establishment recruited and has been backing former state Sen. Cal Cunningham. So far, that support hasn’t meant a whole lot for Cunningham. In the primary, Marshall received 36 percent of the vote, 4-percentage points short of the total needed to avoid a runoff. Cunningham took 27 percent of the vote. The third place finisher, Ken Lewis, endorsed Marshall. ... Despite the endorsement, recent polls have indicated that the Marshall and Cunningham runoff is a toss-up. One poll showed each with 36 percent of the support of likely runoff voters. But a low-turnout runoff is a tricky thing, often determined by organizations that are good a recognizing where to concentrate their efforts and how to get supporters to the polls. Under those circumstances, it might be a bit of a stretch to read too much into next month’s results. Still, losses by party establishment picks like Cunningham and Johnson would raise the questions, at least in this year: Shouldn’t the party organizations leave well enough alone? Did they cause more damage than harm to their picks? If, on the other hand, they should prevail, perhaps it’s a sign that voters are pragmatic after all.
The Obama liberals L iberals have a learning disability when it comes to the impracticability of socialism. They are so steeped in the seductive lies of false compassion that no amount of logic, history or everyday experience registers. Thus, they continue to burden the market system to an unsustainable level. Liberals have always denied they intend to unduly shackle the free market. They say America is exceptionally prosperous — though it never occurs to them why — and can afford robust entitlement and redistributive schemes. But in no way would they favor anything extreme that would push the market to the tipping point. Well, now that they are completely in charge, we’ve seen what they will do. Obama liberals believe not in America’s promise (and Martin Luther King Jr.’s hope) of equality of opportunity, but in equality of outcomes. Truth be told, Obama probably believes in a wholesale reversal of wealth distribution: not just equalizing it, but making the wealthy poor and the poor wealthy. But I’ll leave the psychoanalysis to others. Largely because of their worldview differences, conservatives and liberals will never agree on the moral merits of capitalism versus socialism. Conservatives believe, generally, that economic and political freedoms are interconnected and that socialism, beyond the obvious, constricts and eventually smothers political liberties. (Hat Tip: Friedrich Hayek.) They believe that our rights are a gift from God and that it is both immoral and counterproductive for a central government to confiscate a major portion of some people’s work product and transfer it to others. Nor is any man entitled to moral bragging rights for presiding over governmentcoerced theft. But we’re not going to reach a consensus on these moral questions, and liberals will continue to demonize, bully and attempt to shame conservatives with their phony moral arguments and ignore the overwhelming empirical evidence contradicting their intractable views. They could sneak just a superficial peak at an unbiased summary of world history — should any remain in print — and confirm that the United States of America has been the freest and most prosperous nation ever — by far. Even if they reject that Judeo-Christian principles undergird the Constitution, which established a system of limited government that has led to this nation’s freedom and prosperity, they should at least acknowledge the freedom and prosperity part. But don’t be so sure, at least not of Obama liberals. They seem to believe that America’s success was some kind of historical accident or the result of collective malfeasance on the part of our forefathers and all those who succeeded them up to November 2008. They don’t just want to change it, but punish it. But even liberals less extreme than Obama are applauding his “transformative” change. What they don’t understand is that this radical change cannot occur without punishing

America and most Americans. In their insatiable desire to rearrange the seating around the economic dinner table, they’re converting the dinner hall to the Titanic and the dining room chairs to deck chairs. With their ever-expanding government and increasing regulatory control, they are sapping the lifeblood out of this country — and bankrupting it. Even if they can’t agree that stealing people’s work product is immoral, can’t they see that the end result of that confiscatory act is overall financial destruction — a radical constriction of the economic pie and diminution of our economic and political liberties? No amount of moral preening can wipe clean the moral bankruptcy of economic and political despair born of good intentions. Sadly, these notions simply do not compute with them and so they reject the evidence that proves it. Thus we have a jubilant David Leonhardt, economic columnist for The New York Times, celebrating that Obama has ushered in a “new progressive period (that) has the makings of a generational shift in how Washington operates” and that rivals “any other since the New Deal in scope or ambition.” Leonhardt appears to approve the income redistribution in Obamacare, the financial reform bill and the “stimulus.” Leonhardt says that the “theme” of Obama’s agenda has been “to lift economic growth while also reducing income inequality.” But “by focusing on long-term problems, Mr. Obama and the Democrats have given less than their full attention to the economy’s current weakness.” Leonhardt just doesn’t get it. It’s not that Obama has not focused enough on the economy because he’s been preoccupied with his agenda. It’s that his agenda is incompatible with fixing the economy because it is destroying the human spirit and its capacity for productivity, not to mention that it, and his method of implementing it, are wholly inconsistent with any powers the framers’ contemplated for the federal government.

Growing up in the Marks household, my brothers, sister and I fought constantly. We would fight over the most trivial of things. We would fight over who got what color bike at Christmas or who got to spend the night at our grandma’s house. Once we even had a knock-down, drag-out over who got the last biscuit at breakfast time. My mother had a terrible time with us. We would be at each others’ throats all the time. But heaven forbid any of us come home and find our sister or any other brother involved in an altercation with a neighbor or stranger. Let’s just say it wouldn’t end too well for that unfortunate one. Which leads me to my point. We Americans are all like family — we don’t always all agree on every point and sometimes, we express those disagreements in perhaps not the most civil ways. But we are still all family. Recently, the president of Mexico was invited to a state dinner and given the opportunity to address our congress. For the Mexican president to take advantage of our hospitality and use it as an occasion to lecture and criticize one of our brothers, Arizona, on immigration policy isn’t by itself that troubling, although highly hypocritical since Mexico has a far tougher immigration policy than the U.S. What is troubling, however, is that certain members of congress stood up and gave him an ovation while he lambasted and scolded one of our brothers. Afterwards, they hosted a lavish dinner for him at taxpayers expense and heaped more praise on him. That’s not the way we did it in the Marks family, and I dare say that’s not the way a lot of my neighbors did it growing up either. How bout you, Mr. Etheridge, did they do it that way when you were growing up? Were you one of the ones who stood and applauded while a leader of another country attacked one of your brothers?

Rental space was so costly, so doing this was more cost effective.� WDCC, according to Freeman, is one of the only college stations in the state that’s run by students in the broadcast curriculum.

“It was ugly and embarassing, but it happens,� Payne said. “It’s bad news when it happens somewhere else, but really bad news when it happens at your place.� Payne said police were called to the Tramway field, but no one was arrested or given a citation. The argument began after an official game was cancelled when there weren’t enough players on hand. Players began an impromptu scrimmage, and tempers flared. Payne said the Harnett County parent is also banned from attending games against Lee County teams. Payne said it’s not the first time Lee County has
most part, used strictly as a learning tool, with the exception of a few shows each week produced by non-students. When not playing talk shows or student-hosted programs, WDCC plays Top 40 and pop music 24-7. Freeman said having the wider reach won’t change the curriculum, but it will put more pressure on the students to perform, as their listenership will more than double. “It might raise the stakes a little bit,� he said. “The students will have to be a little more ... how should we say ... ‘prepared.’� He also said he may consider including announcements from nonprofits outside of Lee County, now that the station is hitting more ears.

DR. BEACH’S 10 BEST
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — Hamptons hoi polloi probably assumed it was always No. 1. Coopers Beach, with pristine white sand gently sloping toward a shoreline of lapping waves, convenient parking and amenities and nary a gum wrapper in sight, has been selected as America’s best beach in an annual survey released Friday to coincide with the start of the summer vacation season. “New York has worldclass beaches, but I don’t think a lot of people in the United States know about them,� said Dr. Stephen Leatherman, director of Florida International University’s Laboratory for Coastal Research. Known by the moniker Dr. Beach, this is Leatherman’s 20th year of compiling a list of the country’s top 10. This year’s list includes two beaches in Florida, and Leatherman said he was not worried about pollution from the oil spill affecting those locations. Siesta Beach in Sarasota took the No. 2 spot on the list, and Cape Florida State Park in Key Biscayne was No. 10. He said Cape Florida, on the southeast coast, “doesn’t get the wave activity� that can lead to tar balls washing up. As for Siesta Beach, he said he had looked at currents and believes “there’s very low probability the oil will get to southwest Florida.� Leatherman’s list also features another New York beach, Main Beach in East Hampton, Long Island, not far from Southampton. Main Beach takes the No. 5 spot on this year’s survey. “When most people think of a beach vacation destination, they go south,� Leatherman said. “I kind of

think the east end of Long Island is a well-kept secret for most Americans.� Rounding out the top 10 are Coronado Beach, Calif. (3), Cape Hatteras (4), Kahanamoku Beach in Waikiki, Honololu (No. 6), Coast Guard Beach in Cape Cod, Mass. (7), Beachwalker Park in Kiawah Island, S.C. (8), and Hamoa Beach in Maui, Hawaii (9). Coopers Beach has been a contender for the top spot in recent years, but this is the first time a New York beach has made it to No. 1, Leatherman said. He considers factors like water quality and temperature, cleanliness, weather, sand,
safety and facilities in making his list. Once a beach makes it to the top spot, it is retired from consideration in future years, he said. Leatherman added that designation as the country’s No. 1 beach usually brings as much as a 20 percent bump in tourism. “Both Main and Coopers beaches have been recognized in the past as being among the top 10 beaches in the country — and to now hold the top spot is especially significant when you consider the quality of the company we’re in,� Moke McGowan, president of the Long Island Convention & Visitors
Bureau, said in a statement. Main Beach was in the headlines in April after a 13-ton baby whale washed ashore and had to be euthanized; thousands of onlookers visited the ailing mammal on the seashore while it struggled for life over several days. Several miles away on Coopers Beach, locals trying to get a jump on summer spoke about the cleanliness of the beach and described it as a welcoming, family-oriented playground. “It’s wide, the sand is like baby powder,� said Carol Gerbereux, a visitor for at least 40 years. “It’s just a beautiful location; it has wonderful facilities and it’s just a pleasure to come here.� Joseph Graygor, another longtime devotee, said litter is a no-no. “It’s a very, very clean beach,� he said. “There’s no garbage on it.� He also said a concession stand, showers, and other amenities are key assets at Coopers. “The parking area is very, very close to the beach. There are some beaches where you have to park a long ways away and walk a long way.�
Today, Carter’s office undergoes what he describes as a timeconsuming process of checking individuals’ immigration status with Immigration and Customs Enforcement,
but he is touting a recently-unveiled fingerprint scanner that will allow the Sheriff’s Office to check the status of anyone booked into Lee County Jail in a matter of minutes.
The scanner will be implemented in Carter’s office soon, he said. Carter estimated that more than 30 immigrants have been deported locally in the past two years following arrests.

STATE BRIEFS Helms sought FBI favor, called in agents
Legislature gives final OK to schools reform
RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Newly released FBI files show North Carolina long-serving Sen. Jesse Helms curried favor with director J. Edgar Hoover before starting his 30-year political life. The conservative Republican icon from Raleigh later called on the FBI occasionally for information and investigations. Dozens of investigated death threats, forgotten episodes of foreign and domestic intrigues, and personal notes exchanged with one of Hooverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successors comprise the bulk of more than 1,500 pages in Helmsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; FBI file. The documents were released to The Associated Press under a Freedom of Information Act request. Helms died on July 4, 2008, at the age of 86. He retired from the Senate after the 2002 elections.
RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gov. Beverly Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s package to improve failing North Carolina public schools has made it through the Legislature â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but just barely. The Senate voted 21-19 on Thursday for the measure thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed to give the state a better chance to win up to $400 million in federal education reform grants. Perdue needed the bill approved by the end of the week to mention it in her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Race to the Topâ&#x20AC;? application. The package lays out four options for local education leaders to use to improve more than 130 continually low-performing schools. Opponents said it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raise the cap on charter schools even though it would allow districts to convert a failing school to a charter-like school. The measure now goes to Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk for her signature.
Marines show new special operations training
CAMP LEJEUNE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Marine Corps special operations students set a hasty ambush and prepared for a raid as they completed the final exercise in the second phase of a grueling training course in North Carolina. Reporters were invited on Thursday to observe the training near Camp Lejeune. It was the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first look at Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Commandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new nine-month training course. The physically and mentally challenging course is designed to provide Marines with a basic foundation of special operations skills like raiding and reconnaissence. The ambush and raid were part of the second phase of the course. Other phases of the course focus on communications and unconventional warfare.
Life of innocence panel continues in House bill
RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The life of a North Carolina state commission â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whose review led a three-judge panel this year to absolve a man wrongly convicted in a 1991 murder â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would be extended in legislation approved by the House. The measure approved unanimously on Thursday would allow the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission to keep considering innocence claims filed after Dec. 31. Lawmakers had put the sunset on the commission they created in 2006 to give them time to evaluate the effort. The commission is the only state-run agency in the country dedicated to proving a convicted personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innocence. Its first exoneration came in February when judges released Greg Taylor after he served 16 years in prison for a Raleigh murder. Gov. Beverly Perdue pardoned him last week.
N.C. Senate gives first OK to more tax breaks RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The North Carolina Senate is willing to give additional tax breaks to attract a few businesses interested in building in the state, potentially creating more than 1,500 jobs. The Senate gave tentative approval Thursday to an incentives package that could cost $39 million through 2015 if companies build and apply for the reductions. Sen. Dan Clodfelter of Charlotte said the bill is aimed at closing the deals on persuading companies to build two computer data centers, an energy turbine manufacturer and a plant converting wood pulp to paper. The Senate hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identified any of the companies by name. The bill passed 39-4. Sen. Ellie Kinnaird opposed the bill, saying quality education and transportation are among the things that attract companies most. A final Senate vote is expected next week.
Plant adding 55 jobs over next 3 years REIDSVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A company that makes automotive parts is adding 55 jobs and investing more than $1 million at its plant in North Carolina over the next three years. The News & Record of Greensboro reported that WhiteRidge Plastics LLC will expand its operations in Reidsville with the help of a $45,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund. WhiteRidge Plastics is a subsidiary of Myers Industries Inc. in Akron, Ohio. The company makes parts for cars and trucks, agricultural equipment, recreational vehicles, industrial applications and other uses. About 100 people work at the plant now. The company plans to install new product lines in the Reidsville facility to manufacture parts for Honda light trucks and all-terrain vehicles.
Bowles: UNC could lose 1,700 jobs By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer
RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; More public school teachers would be protected from layoffs and the University of North Carolina system would take a bigger financial hit under a House budget plan approved Thursday by a key committee that diverges from a spending proposal offers by the Senate. The education subcommittee, which proposes spending for more than half of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget, would use $90 million in North Carolina Education Lottery profits beyond what the Senate recommended in the budget it approved last week to hire teachers to reduce class sizes in early grades. The lottery money, most of which would come from reserves and $73 million in higherthan-anticipated net revenues for the next fiscal year, would prevent an additional 1,635 teaching and teaching assistant positions from being eliminated statewide, said Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland, the education subcommitteeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-chairman. The public schools â&#x20AC;&#x153;should be in a position where there should not be any additional classroom personnel that will lose their jobsâ&#x20AC;? from any additional cuts, Glazier
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have strived to reduce every potential area where instructional personnel would have to be cut.â&#x20AC;? The $10.7 billion education plan, which will be incorporated into the full $18.9 billion spending proposal expected to be debated by the full House Appropriations Committee next week, requires UNC campuses and administration to find $239 million in spending cuts for the coming school year. The UNC reductions, which the campuses can decide how to make, are $139 million more than the amount the Legislature had already directed the system to cut for the year starting July 1 in the two-year spending plan approved last summer. The Senate budget approved last week only sought $50 million more in reductions, or a total of $150 million. UNC system President Erskine Bowles said the cuts would result in the loss of 1,700 jobs and could lead the 17 campuses to limit enrollment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In all of our previous analyses, we never imagined that reductions would reach this level,â&#x20AC;? Bowles said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This level of cuts would force us to reduce the numbers of students that we can accept on our campuses. Our current students would find
themselves in far larger classes and would find that courses they need for graduation are no longer offered or are only offered sporadically.â&#x20AC;? Glazier pointed out a study that showed North Carolina ranks second among states in spending on higher education as a percentage of personal income. Overall, the House would cut the state budget for the UNC system already in place for the coming year by 3.4 percent. The Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget kept funding for UNC flat. The differences are some of what sets the stage for weeks of negotiations between the two chambers as they try to work out a compromise budget agreement to present to Gov. Beverly Perdue before July 1. The full House will vote on its budget by the end of next week. Perdue has raised worries that fellow Democrats in the Legislature are using lottery money to make up for dwindling tax revenues â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the state is facing an $800 million revenue shortfall next year. Local school districts say the $225 million in budget cuts the state directed them to make during the past year led to more than 5,000 job losses. The House education subcommittee didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remove a requirement from the current budget
that the districts find an additional $80 million next year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which could still result in personnel cuts. The House health subcommittee also voted on a $3.9 billion plan Thursday that differs with the Senate by restoring cuts to early childhood health and education programs such as Smart Start and providing only half of what the Senate provided for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health insurance for lowincome families. The House also would keep in place two programs that would allow Medicaid patients living at home to get help with cooking, bathing and other daily activities. The Senate and the Perdue administration want to eliminate the programs and replace them with two new initiatives that would only provide coverage for about 40 percent of the 38,000 current patients, saving nearly $60 million. The House is more willing to let an effort begun April 1 by state Medicaid for nurses to visit patients to take its course. said Rep. Verla Insko, D-Orange, co-chairwoman of the health subcommittee. The nurses are evaluating what level of services, if any, patients are eligible to receive. House Democrats believe the effort will save $34.5 million and reduce fraud.
CAMP LEJEUNE
Family never gave up on brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1972 killing JACKSONVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The sister of a Camp Lejeune Marine slain 37 years ago said she always believed the justice system would catch up with the man convicted of shooting her brother twice in what prosecutors said was a murder prompted by a love triangle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never lost hope; I always knew weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get here,â&#x20AC;? Sharron Aguilar, who kept the case of her brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s killing alive for nearly four decades, said Wednesday after George Hayden, 57, was convicted and got a life sentence. The Daily News of Jacksonville reported that Hayden was sentenced in the shooting death of Sgt. William Miller, 27. Hayden, a
former Marine and small-town police chief, hugged his wife in the courtroom before bailiffs took him away. Jurors had convicted Hayden earlier Wednesday of first-degree murder in Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. Onslow County prosecutors said Hayden killed Miller in an ambush triggered by a love triangle involving Vickie Babbitt, who was married to Miller at the time. Prosecutors said they think Babbitt faked car trouble to lure Miller to a secluded stretch of rural road in Jacksonville. They said Hayden was waiting in a ditch with an M-16 rifle and shot Miller in the temple and back. Passing motorists found Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body Sept. 16, 1972, near Camp
Lejeune less than an hour after he left home. When police found the car, its engine was running, the headlights were on and Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pistol remained in the front seat, unfired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He stole my brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, wife and child, and money,â&#x20AC;? said Charlie Miller, the youngest of six in Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He tried to steal his identity, and when that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work he stole Billyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life.â&#x20AC;? When Miller returned home from a tour of duty in Okinawa, he found Hayden living with his wife and 1-year-old daughter, The Daily News reported, based
on information from the U.S. Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of the Judge Advocate General. He had the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department remove Hayden in August 1972. But then, his wife and daughter moved with Hayden, the information showed. Babbitt and Hayden married four months after Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, then divorced four years later. Hayden retired from the Marine Corps in 1989 and worked for the Carteret County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department before becoming chief for the Cape Carteret and Belhaven police departments.

Leak eclipses Exxon Valdez as worst
ROBERT, La. (AP) — As BP labored for a second day Thursday to choke off the leak at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, dire new government estimates showed the disaster has easily eclipsed the Exxon Valdez as the biggest oil spill in U.S. history. The company said early in the day that the operation known as a “top kill” was continuing, but announced later that it had been suspended since around midnight Wednesday so crews could bring in more heavy drilling mud to shoot into the blown-out well 5,000 feet underwater. The top kill was expected to resume Thursday night, but it could be late Friday or the weekend before the company knows if it has cut off the oil that has been flowing for five weeks. As the world waited, President Barack Obama announced major new restrictions on drilling projects, and the head of the federal agency that regulates the industry resigned under pressure, becoming the highestranking political casualty of the crisis so far. BP insisted the top kill was progressing as planned, though the company acknowledged drilling mud was escaping from the broken pipe along with the leaking crude.

The mobile offshore drilling unit Q4000 holds position directly over the damaged Deepwater Horizon blowout preventer as crews work to plug the wellhead using a technique known as “top kill.” “The fact that we had a bunch of mud going up the riser isn’t ideal but it’s not necessarily indicative of a problem,” said spokesman Tom Mueller. The top kill is the latest in a string of attempts to stop the oil that has been spewing since the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon exploded April 20. Eleven workers were killed. If the procedure works, BP will inject cement into the well to seal it permanently. If it doesn’t, the company has a number of backup plans. Either way, crews will continue to drill two relief wells, considered the only surefire way to stop the leak. A top kill has never been attempted before so deep underwater. BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said the
company is also considering shooting small, dense rubber balls or assorted junk such as golf balls and rubber scraps to stop up a crippled five-story piece of equipment known as a blowout preventer to keep the mud from escaping. The stakes were higher than ever as public frustration over the spill grew and a team of government scientists said the oil has been flowing at a rate 2 1/2 to five times higher than what BP and the Coast Guard previously estimated. Two teams of scientists calculated the well has been spewing between 504,000 and more than a million gallons a day. Even using the most conservative estimate, that means about 18 million gallons have spilled so far. In
the worst-case scenario, 39 million gallons have leaked. That larger figure would be nearly four times the size of the Exxon Valdez disaster, in which a tanker ran aground in Alaska in 1989, spilling nearly 11 million gallons. “Now we know the true scale of the monster we are fighting in the Gulf,” said Jeremy Symons, vice president of the National Wildlife Federation. “BP has unleashed an unstoppable force of appalling proportions.” BP spokesman Steve Rinehart said the previous estimate of 210,000 gallons a day was based on the best data available at the time. As for the new figures, he said: “It does not and will not change the response. We are going all out on our response.” The spill is not the biggest ever in the Gulf. In 1979, a drilling rig in Mexican waters — the Ixtoc I — blew up, releasing 140 million gallons of oil. In another troubling discovery, marine scientists said they have spotted a huge new plume of what they believe to be oil deep beneath the Gulf, stretching 22 miles from the leaking wellhead northeast toward Mobile Bay, Ala. They fear it could have resulted from using chemicals a mile below the surface to break up the oil.
WASHINGTON
Fixing oil spill my responsibility, Obama says
WASHINGTON (AP) — Thrown on the defensive, President Barack Obama acknowledged that his administration could have done better in dealing with the biggest oil spill in the nation’s history and misjudged the industry’s ability to cope with a worst-case scenario. Obama will make his second tour of the battered Gulf Coast on Friday. “I take responsibility. It is my job to make sure that everything is done to shut this down,” Obama declared in a lengthy news conference at the White House on Thursday. As he spoke, well owner BP struggled anew to plug the blown well that exploded five weeks ago, killing 11 workers and sending millions of gallons of polluting oil
gushing out. Obama’s words marked a clear shift of emphasis for an administration that previously had said it was generally “in charge” but there were limits to what it could do — and that oil giant BP was responsible for stopping the flow and cleaning up the disastrous damage. “Those who think we were either slow on the response or lacked urgency, don’t know the facts,” said Obama at a White House news conference at which he also announced new restrictions on offshore drilling. Separately, Elizabeth Birnbaum, the head of the Minerals Management Service that oversees offshore drilling, resigned under pressure. Obama’s move to take

responsibility and accept accountability was a gesture few politicians are eager to make. But with each passing day, frustration with Obama’s administration has grown, and his poll numbers on the matter are dropping. The news conference and his trip to the coast on Friday represent a more aggressive public effort by the president. Asked about comparisons to the Bush administration’s much-criticized handling of the Hurricane Katrina aftermath, he said that was for others to judge but he insisted his administration has been active from the start. “This has been our highest priority” since the rig exploded, he said, making the point repeatedly. New estimates Thurs-
day showed the spill has already surpassed the Exxon Valdez accident in Alaska as the nation’s worst. The president announced new steps to restrict drilling, including continuing a moratorium on drilling permits for six months, suspending planned exploratory drilling off the coasts of Alaska and Virginia and ordering a halt to 33 exploratory deep-water rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. Obama’s news conference was his third this year, but just his first scheduled questionand-answer session at the White House since a prime-time East Room session in July of last year. Even Democrats described Obama as defensive in his meeting with reporters.

China says it won’t sell Euro debt; stocks surge
Rossi announces challenge to Wash. Sen. Murray
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks had another turnaround Thursday and rocketed higher after China reassured investors it doesn’t plan to sell the European debt it holds. The Dow Jones industrial average surged nearly 285 points. Treasury prices tumbled as traders funneled money into riskier assets like stocks and commodities. China’s show of confidence in Europe let the market resume a rally that stalled late Wednesday following a report that the Chinese government was considering cutting its European debt holdings. If that were true, such a move would have signaled that China didn’t think Europe would be able to contain the crisis. The agency that manages China’s $2.5 trillion in foreign reserves denied the report. Analysts also said some bounce has been expected after the slide that drove the Dow down 11 percent from its 2010 peak a month ago. Traders cautioned that this might not be a rally but merely a break in selling.
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — After months of pressure from national Republicans, twotime gubernatorial runnerup Dino Rossi announced Wednesday he would take on Washington state’s powerful senior senator, Democrat Patty Murray. Republicans need 10 seats to seize control of the U.S. Senate and Rossi represents a chance to put an 11th Democrat-held seat into play in November’s election. Five Republican seats also are in play. Rossi announced his candidacy with a video posted to his website Wednesday morning, saying he decided to run because of concerns over the national debt, the health care reform bill and the stimulus package. “I know I won’t be able to look my children, and someday their children, in the eye if I do nothing while this fundamental redefinition of America continues unchecked,” he said in the video. “I believe the policies being passed in Washington D.C. have put us on the edge of a fiscal cliff.”
Conservative Dems balk at jobless benefits package WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats struggled Thursday to extend jobless benefits for people who have been out of work for long stretches as lawmakers worried about the growing budget deficit balked at a scaled down package. House leaders had scheduled a vote Thursday on a bill that would extend the benefits through November, but they ran into opposition from Republicans and some Democrats concerned about the cost of the overall bill. “They need to go back to the drawing board,” said Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, a member of the conservative Blue Dog coalition. Coalition members are unhappy with that the bill would add $84 billion to the budget deficit. They met with House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer Thursday morning, but were unmoved. Across the Capitol, Senate Democrats had far better success in advancing an almost $60 billion measure to pay for President Barack Obama’s troop increase in Afghanistan. The 69-29 test vote sets the stage for a final vote as early as Thursday evening.
Questions raised about ’Ardi’ as man’s ancestor
NEW YORK (AP) — Last fall, a fossil skeleton named “Ardi” shook up the field of human evolution. Now, some scientists are raising doubts about what exactly the creature from Ethiopia was and what kind of landscape it inhabited. New critiques question whether Ardi really belongs on the human branch of the evolutionary tree, and whether it really lived in woodlands. That second question has implications for theories about what kind of environment spurred early human evolution. The new work is being published by the journal Science, which last year declared the original presentation of the 4.4 million-year-old fossil to be the magazine’s breakthrough of the year. Ardi, short for Ardipithecus ramidus, is a million years older than the famous “Lucy” fossil. Last October, it was hailed as a window on early human evolution. Researchers concluded that “Ardi” walked upright rather than on its knuckles like chimps, for example, and that it lived in woodlands rather than open grasslands. It didn’t look much like today’s chimps, our closest living relatives, even though it was closer than Lucy to the common ancestor of humans and chimps.

Senate panel votes to repeal gay ban By JIM ABRAMS Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Senate committee on Thursday took a first step toward ending the policy that allows gays to serve in the military only if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disclose their sexual orientation. In a 16-12 vote, the Senate Armed Services Committee approved a provision to repeal the 1993 â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tellâ&#x20AC;? policy. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, the only Republican to vote for the amendment to a defense spending bill, said it passed after â&#x20AC;&#x153;vigorous and aggressive debate.â&#x20AC;? Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., who promoted the measure with Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for this policy to go. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reflect Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best values of equal opportunity, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good for the military.â&#x20AC;? Repealing the 1993 law, a priority of gay rights groups that President Barack Obama has pledged to pursue, still faces a tough road. The full House is expected to take up the identical amendment late Thursday or Friday and opposition is fierce, particularly among Republicans who cited letters from military service chiefs urging Congress to hold off on the legislation until the Pentagon

Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, addresses cadets during graduation ceremonies at the United States Air Force Academy in Air Force Academy, Colo. on Wednesday. completes a study of the impact on military life and readiness. The measure could face a filibuster when it reaches the Senate floor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really going to be very harmful to the morale and effectiveness of our military,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the top Republican on the Armed Services Committee and a leading opponent of the repeal. Still, the vote was welcomed by gay rights groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the beginning of the end of a shameful ban on open service by lesbian and gay troops that has weakened our national security,â&#x20AC;? said Joe Solmonese, president of Human Rights Campaign, a leading gay rights organization. In the House, debate
on â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tellâ&#x20AC;? dominated an all-day session on a bill that approves more than $700 billion for military operations. Democrats stressed that the measure was a compromise under which the repeal would not go into effect until the Pentagon completes its study, expected in December, and until Obama and military leaders certify that it would not adversely affect the militaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to fight. Republicans countered by reading similar letters written by the heads of the military services asking Congress to wait. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also believe that repealing the law before the completion of the review will be seen by the men and women of the Army as a reversal of our commit-
ment to hear their views before moving forward,â&#x20AC;? wrote Gen. George Casey, head of the Army. Congress going first â&#x20AC;&#x153;is the equivalent to turning to our men and women in uniform and their families and saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Your opinion, your view, do not count,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Rep. Howard â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buckâ&#x20AC;? McKeon of California, the top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee. But Rep. Jared Polis, an openly gay Democrat from Colorado, said most Americans â&#x20AC;&#x153;recognize that on the battlefield, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if a soldier is lesbian, gay or straight. What matters is they get the job done for our country.â&#x20AC;? Rep. Patrick Murphy, a Pennsylvania Democrat who served in the Iraq war and who is the chief sponsor of the amendment, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to get this done, and we need to get it done now.â&#x20AC;? The Senate panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote of approval was sealed when Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, a conservative Democrat, endorsed it earlier this week. He said then a provision in the bill giving the military the power to decide on the details of implementing the policy was key to his support because it â&#x20AC;&#x153;removes politics from the processâ&#x20AC;? and ensures repeal is â&#x20AC;&#x153;consistent with military readiness and effectiveness.â&#x20AC;?

Teacher subsidies payout falters in House
WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A $23 billion payout to save thousands of educatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; jobs faltered Thursday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perhaps for good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to election-year jitters among moderate Democrats over deficit spending and only lukewarm support from the White House. The proposalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief advocate in the House abruptly canceled a committee meeting to put the money in a war spending bill. Its lead sponsor in the Senate gave up trying to do it, acknowledging he lacked the necessary votes. The developments jeopardized what progressives in Congress and
some members of the Obama administration had described as a life raft for 100,000 to 300,000 teachers and other school personnel whose billions of dollars in stimulus salary subsidies run out this fall. Outside the Beltway, educators said it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear how big a hit they would take if more federal money didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come through. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The specter of layoffs is there,â&#x20AC;? said Maryland Department of Education spokesman Bill Reinhard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The economy has not totally turned around yet.â&#x20AC;? Maureen Dinnen, a retired teacher and school board member in Broward
County, Fla., said 800 teacher jobs are in jeopardy there. The limbo, she said, wakes her up at night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think to myself, the future of our schools, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just as important as the auto industry or the financial interests,â&#x20AC;? Dinnen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our lifeblood for the future.â&#x20AC;? The lifeblood for politicians is winning the next election, and voters have literally been screaming at them for months to hold down government spending â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even the kind intended to spur the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic recovery. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $862 billion stimulus bill bailed out
slumping American companies and gave educators some $50 billion, but it also played a role in costing Republican-turned-Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter his seat in Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary election last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Oh, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put this kid on hold for two years until the economy recovers,â&#x20AC;? House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, D-Wis., said Wednesday at a news conference with Education Committee Chairman George Miller, D-Calif., and Education Secretary Arne Duncan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because the economy may recover, but the kid wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;?
Mortgage rates are back near record low
Slow-motion recovery keeps unemployment high
WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Turmoil in the stock market and the European debt crisis are making life easier for American homebuyers and families looking to refinance: Mortgage rates are inching closer to a record low. The window of opportunity may close soon. Home loan rates will rise if investors grow more confident and shift money out of the safety of government bonds, which influence mortgage rates. For now, though, rates are tantalizingly low. The average 30-year fixed-rate loan sank to 4.78 percent this week, the lowest this year and barely above the record of 4.71 percent set in December. And 15-year loans are at their lowest rates in two decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strike now,â&#x20AC;? suggested Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com. Some homeowners are doing just that. Applications to refinance surged this week to the highest level in seven months, the Mortgage Bankers Association said.
WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; High unemployment isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going away. The slow-motion pace of economic growth shows the recovery is too weak to generate enough jobs for 15.3 million unemployed people. And a still-elevated number of new filings for jobless benefits suggests layoffs continue to complicate the problem. Two government reports Thursday offered new evidence on all of those fronts. For many Americans, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel much like a recovery. The unemployed face fierce competition for job openings. Those with jobs are watching their paychecks shrink. A growing number of people are at risk of falling into foreclosure. And people with only the most stellar credit are likely to get a new loan. The economy grew at a 3 percent annual rate from January to March, according to a new estimate released by the Commerce Department Thursday. The new reading, based on more complete information, was slightly weaker than an initial estimate of 3.2 percent a month ago.
Lawmakers press J&J to explain â&#x20AC;&#x153;phantom recallâ&#x20AC;? WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Congressional investigators said Wednesday that Johnson & Johnson hired a private company that bought up defective packets of pain relievers in 2008 before recalling the pills months later, after prodding from federal regulators. The new questions about J&Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handling of quality issues came during a hearing about its latest recall involving over 100 million bottles of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medicine, some of which contained tiny particles of metal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an issue of trust, when parents and grandparents give these medicines to their children they want to be confident that they are not harmful,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y., who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Last month J&Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s McNeil division recalled more than 40 varieties of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medicines after the Food and Drug Administration discovered a slew of violations at a company plant. The FDA has not linked the recalled products to any health problems.
Palin makes good on fence threat WASILLA, Alaska (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is making good on a threat to build a fence around her Wasilla home to keep her new neighbor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an author who is writing a book about her â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from peering in. Palin, wearing running shorts, a T-shirt and visor, joked with a reporter outside the gate of her lakeside home Thursday about having to build a fence to protect her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s privacy. But she declined further comment, saying she was busy babysitting her nephews. Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, took to Facebook on Monday to â&#x20AC;&#x153;welcomeâ&#x20AC;? author Joe McGinniss, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d previously written a critical magazine article on Palin. She said he was renting a house next door â&#x20AC;&#x153;for the next five months or soâ&#x20AC;? and wondered what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d gather â&#x20AC;&#x153;while overlooking Piperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedroom, my little garden, and the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming hole?â&#x20AC;? She said work would begin on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tall fence tomorrow.â&#x20AC;?

10A / Friday, May 28, 2010 / The Sanford Herald MOVIE REVIEW: PRINCE OF PERSIA
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Persiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a mindless light and sound show T
he cinematic embodiment of an Arabic-themed amusement park ride, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prince of Persia: The Sands of Timeâ&#x20AC;? filters its original video game conceit through the prism of a monkeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s typewriter. Slap on lots of loud noise and blurry CGI, and you have a mindless light-and-sound show with just enough slapdash political allegory to offend both your senses and sensibilities. A brawny but miscast Jake Gyllenhaal plays adopted Persian Prince Dastan, who teams with his half-brothers to invade the ancient holy city of Alamut after they suspect it is manufacturing and supplying Persiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enemies with arrows of mass destruction. However, once the shock and awe of their invasion settles, no armaments are found. After an assassin kills kindly King Sharaman (Ronald Pickup) using a poisonous prayer robe (you know, that old trickâ&#x20AC;Ś), Dastan is framed for the murder and goes on the lam with a su-

There is some halfwitted garble about whether to bring Dastan back to Persia for trial or secret him away for life in some antediluvian
Gitmo. Evil Uncle Nizam (Ben Kingsley) employs a snake-handling private security firm to carry out his dastardly black ops. And, for good measure, toss in Sheik Amar (Alfred Molina, giving his all) as a Tea Partier before his time, moaning about how tax-and-spend big government cramps his underground ostrich racing business. Put it all
together and you have Jerry Bruckheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disneyfied Iraq War apology. Not only doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prince of Persiaâ&#x20AC;? possess the courage of its cockeyed convictions, but it insultingly (agit)props them up as a lazy backdrop for a one-dimensional storyline. To help Dastan in the quest to clear his name and save the kingdom,
there is an easy button on the mystic daggerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hilt that when pushed turns back the clock about a minute or so, unbeknownst to everyone except the daggerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bearer. The button also conjures silly special effects and endless mugging by Kingsley. By the time the penultimate finale arrives inside a cave filled with golden light that reboots the story back to its beginning, you will feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been teleported back to the final season of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lost.â&#x20AC;? The only perplexing puzzle â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prince of Persiaâ&#x20AC;? posits is why Gyllenhaal adopts an English accent
that is no less incongruous to the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s setting than his native American inflection. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the hours you will waste watching â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prince of Persia.â&#x20AC;?

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably seen the billboards, bus-stop ads and television spots for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Killersâ&#x20AC;?: Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re everywhere, featuring Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher juggling guns and bantering over super-secret identities. But critics wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the film before it appears in theaters, part of a growing strategy in Hollywood that relies more on social networking to promote new releases instead of riskier movie reviews. Lionsgate, which is releasing the action comedy, has planned whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;courtesy screeningâ&#x20AC;? for critics the morning of June 4, the day the film opens. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tactic studios normally use when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a guaranteed niche audience, such as for horror movies or ones based on video games â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the logic being that fans of the genre will show up, regardless of reviews. But â&#x20AC;&#x153;Killersâ&#x20AC;? is a mainstream romantic comedy with two A-list stars and a production budget of about $70 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is high for Lionsgate, known for the Tyler Perry movies, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sawâ&#x20AC;? series and the Oscar-winning â&#x20AC;&#x153;Precious: Based on the Novel â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Sapphire.â&#x20AC;? This time, the studio said it would rather have viewers decide for themselves whether the movie is worthwhile, then write about it on Twitter or Facebook. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;Killers,â&#x20AC;? Heigl stars as a lovesick woman who thinks sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found the perfect man in Kutcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character, only to discover his secret life as an international assassin once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve married and moved to suburbia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to capitalize on the revolution in social media by letting audiences and critics define this film concurrently,â&#x20AC;? Lionsgate said in a statement late Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s socially connected marketplace, we all have the ability to share feedback instantly around the world.â&#x20AC;?

Simon celebrated on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Idolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; finale
LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It took leaving â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? for Simon Cowell to show his softer side. On Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season finale â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his final appearance on the hit Fox show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cowell got emotional, warmly thanking his colleagues and fans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support, the fun and your sense of humor,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the best part.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a blast,â&#x20AC;? he continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you.â&#x20AC;? The caustic judge was feted in film and in song during the star-studded show, which saw shy paint clerk Lee DeWyze take the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Idolâ&#x20AC;? title. There was a montage of Cowellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meanest insults (â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounded like cats jumping off the Empire State Building ... just before they hit the floorâ&#x20AC;?) and memorable exchanges with fellow judge Paula Abdul. She returned to the show to pay respects to the departing judge, saying their work together â&#x20AC;&#x153;brought me immeasurable joy.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love all the fun we had together, I love all the laughter we shared together,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that the show â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not going to be the same without you, but as only I can tell you, it will go on.â&#x20AC;? Comedian Dane Cook offered a musical tribute,

Former Idol judge Paula Abdul returns to say goodbye to Simon Cowell during the â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? finale at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, Wednesday. melding Cowellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quips into a song. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have the honesty of Abe Lincoln and the charm of the guy who shot him,â&#x20AC;? Cook said. Cowell was a man of few words as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? judge, but they were choice. What he said helped turn a singing contest into a pop-culture force that dominates TV, even in its ninth season and with sliding viewership â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and whose future is clouded by his departure. He was so colorful and biting in his criticism that it felt like a bracing slap in the face of the performers, viewers and social convention. Brits such as Cowell may be accustomed to candor but Americans tend to err on the side of cheery positive reinforcement
(exhibit A: most utterances by Abdul) and fluff (Randy Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repetitive â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yo!â&#x20AC;?). Most importantly, the music industry veteran was authoritative and mostly on target. With the intimidating hauteur of a snobbish wine steward, he steered viewers to the proper assessment of contestants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be missed,â&#x20AC;? said singer Michael McDonald, who performed on Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been such an iconic part of the show but also a driving force in the whole idea of the show. He personifies what separates this show from â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Star Searchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and all the ones that came before it.â&#x20AC;? Although viewers had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;love-hateâ&#x20AC;? relationship with Cowell, â&#x20AC;&#x153;they knew he was the real deal, telling
shaky contestants what they needed to hear,â&#x20AC;? said Tim Brooks, a TV historian and former network executive. Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tributes poked fun at Cowellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penchant for snug T-shirts (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only way your shirts could be tighter is if Randy was in there with you,â&#x20AC;? Cook said) and his snooty attitude. One video clip showed him professing his love to his own reflection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a flirt, but his hands usually ended up on his own chest,â&#x20AC;? Abdul said. Comedian Ricky Gervais appeared via satellite in Cowellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honor. After joking that the 58-year-old judge should return to his old job as a lap-dancer, he called Cowell â&#x20AC;&#x153;the kingmaker.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have taken ordinary peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dreams and made those dreams a reality,â&#x20AC;? Gervais said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve produced some of the biggest singing stars of a generation, and you only take 80%â&#x20AC;? of their earnings. Throughout the series, Cowell scored with his â&#x20AC;&#x153;understanding of the music industry, his understanding of what it takes to be an artist,â&#x20AC;? said industry analyst Shari Ann Brill. Cowell, in turn, has been richly rewarded, making a reported $36 million a year for his work on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Idolâ&#x20AC;? and founding his own TV empire.

Kellow said. The dispatcher asked if Gray was awake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh God, no. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all purple,â&#x20AC;? Kellow said. Kellow told the operator it appeared that Gray had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;gone a while.â&#x20AC;? Kellow says he checked on Gray after the bassistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother called the Urbandale, Iowa, hotel because she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach her son. The six-minute recording, which was first obtained by Des Moines television station WOI-TV on Wednesday, ends with the dispatcher telling Kellow he was sending a police officer to the hotel.

her former husband, Prince Andrew, for $724,000. Now, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to tell her side of the story to Oprah Winfrey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Oprah Winfrey Showâ&#x20AC;? says the interview with the Duchess of York will air Tuesday. The program says it will be Fergusonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first TV interview since the news broke last weekend. But Ferguson hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been hiding out. On Wednesday she appeared before booksellers and librarians at a New York trade show to promote childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t address the scandal directly during a panel with other authors at Book Expo America but made a few references to it.
Locklear wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t face hit-and-run charges in Calif. THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Prosecutors say Heather Locklear wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be charged for a hit-and-run crash in Southern California. Ventura County District Attorney Gregory Totten says a 2005 BMW sedan registered to the actress and her ex-husband, Richard Sambora, knocked down a no-parking sign and drove off on April 17 in Thousand Oaks. Locklear was later cited for misdemeanor hit-andrun. In a statement Wednesday, Totten said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough evidence to determine who was driving. A call to Locklearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, Blair Berk, was not immediately returned Thursday. The 48-year-old â&#x20AC;&#x153;Melrose Placeâ&#x20AC;? star has a previous arrest for driving under the influence of prescription drugs; she pleaded guilty last year to a lesser charge of reckless driving.
Two charged in Disney insider trading scheme LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Walt Disney Co employee and her boyfriend have been charged with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;brazenâ&#x20AC;? insider trading scheme in which they said the media conglomerate was in advanced talks to sell its ABC TV network. Disney quickly said that claim was false. But the incident, which came to light on Wednesday after a months-long FBI undercover sting operation, is an irritant for a company known for a carefully spun image. Shares in Disney leapt as much as 4.7 percent before backtracking after the denial to end the day up 2.3 percent. U.S. prosecutors accuse Bonnie Hoxie, an assistant to Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corporate communications chief, and Yonni Sebbag of trying to sell insider information to over 30 hedge funds.

Fence isn’t a cure-all for border By JACQUES BILLEAUD Associated Press Writer
NOGALES, Ariz. — The fence rises from the rock and hardscrabble of the desert floor, a formidable 15-foot-high curtain of corrugated metal that stretches into the mirage of heat and distance. Newer sections feature 20-foot high steel columns, deeply planted, narrowly spaced, so no human slips between. The start-and-stop span — 646 miles long — has become a fierce polemic, a bumper sticker, a popular backdrop for campaign commercials during an election year with another sulfurous immigration debate. The best known TV spot features Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain kicking along a dusty road in this hilly border city, fuming to his companion, the Pinal County sheriff, about drugs and immigrant smugglers and kidnappings. Wearing his Navy baseball cap and squinting into the sun, McCain could be rounding the corner to the gunfight at the OK Corral. “Complete the danged fence,” he spits, his jaw drawing into a knot. The government has spent $2.4 billion since 2005 to build the fence as it presently stands. And the prevailing political sentiment would appear to be, build it faster and higher. But what McCain and other politicians often fail to point out is there’s no shortage of ways to get past the fence. Immigrants scale it with ladders. Smugglers use
blowtorches and hacksaws to penetrate it. They use trucks with retractable vehicle ramps to roll pickups full of marijuana over the fence. They knock down vehicle barriers and erect lookalikes that are made out of cardboard and easy to move. When backed up by border agents and surveillance technology, the fence can help reduce immigrant traffic or redirect it to other locales. But even some advocates for tougher enforcement say it’s unclear whether the fence cuts the overall number of illegal crossings. “The whole point of the fence is to work in concert with other things, but, by itself, you can’t expect it to be the end-all and be-all,” said Steven Camarota, research director for the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for strict immigration laws. An estimated 45 percent of America’s 12 million illegal immigrants came here legally on various visas or border crossing cards and remained after their legal stays ex-

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Jamaican security forces kicked down doors and arrested dozens of residents of a bullet-pocked slum on Thursday, and said the death toll from four days of fighting sparked by the search for a reputed drug lord has risen to 73. The target of the manhunt, Christopher “Dudus” Coke, was nowhere to be found. “We are still searching for Mr. Coke,” said Deputy Police Chief Glenmore Hinds. “Certainly we can’t disclose where we are looking.” Hinds said police and soldiers have found 73 bodies, three of which were killed in incidents not related to the raid. “The 73 bodies we’re speaking about are all civilians,” Hinds said. “But civilians are sometimes gunmen and gunwomen.”
Berenson released on parole after 15 years in Peru prison LIMA, Peru (AP) — Activist Lori Berenson walked out of prison smiling Thursday but got a chilly reception from her new neighbors after serving three-quarters of a 20-year sentence for aiding leftist rebels. Now 40, the New Yorker spent more than a third of her life behind bars — getting married, giving birth, undergoing back surgery — but never denouncing the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement she was convicted of abetting. When she was arrested in November 1995 with the wife of the group’s leader, prosecutors said Berenson was helping it plot a takeover of Peru’s Congress that never happened. The following month, police found a forged ID card bearing her photo in a raid on a rebel safe house. But Berenson apparently became less strident over the years, many of them spent in frigid prisons in the high Andes. Documents her defense team provided to the judge who granted her parole Tuesday said Berenson had “recognized she committed errors” getting

pired. The fence couldn’t have stopped that. And the fence doesn’t directly confront employers who fuel illicit crossings by hiring illegal immigrants. Even so, at least one candidate in nearly all of Arizona’s top political races, including McCain’s, touts the fence as essential, or uses images of the barrier in campaign materials. The fence covers about 30 percent of the 2,000mile U.S.-Mexico border, about one-third the length of the Great Wall of China. Nearly half of the fence sits in Arizona, the busiest gateway for both illegal immigrants and marijuana, with the rest equally divided in California, New Mexico and Texas. The government plans to build 6 more miles of fence by year’s end. The Border Patrol declined to say how many times it has recorded fence breaches, but a government audit released last year reported thousands. Each breach costs an average of $1,300 to repair. On top of the price
tag for building the fence, it will cost another $6.5 billion over the next 20 years to maintain it and related equipment. Politicians focus on the fence, advocates from both sides of the debate say, because of its symbolic value. It allows voters to envision the government’s security efforts, and it’s a shield against the violence on the Mexican side. The focus on the fence by political campaigns appears to be isolated mostly to Arizona, where a law set to take effect July 29 will order police to question anyone they suspect of being in the country illegally. A gubernatorial candidate in New Mexico also used the fence as a backdrop in a campaign video. And just a day after entering Washington state’s Senate race against powerful Democrat Patty Murray, Republican Dino Rossi said Thursday he wants to see a “tall fence with a high gate” for those who look to enter the U.S. illegally. In Arizona, support for fence-building or images of the barrier can be found on the websites and campaign literature of at least one candidate in six of the state’s eight congressional races, the U.S. Senate contest and races for governor and attorney general. Ben Quayle, a Republican candidate for an open congressional seat and son of former Vice President Dan Quayle, calls for building a continuous border fence as part of a broader strategy. One of Quayle’s competitors in the Republican primary, Ed Winkler, wrote an essay about his recent trip to the border and posted four photos of himself standing near the fence. Democratic U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva said on his campaign website that the country’s immigration woes won’t be solved by building the fence and sending troops, but rather by a comprehensive immigration overhaul.

Military tensions rise; S. Korea holds anti-submarine drills SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Military tension on the Korean peninsula rose Thursday after North Korea threatened to attack any South Korean ships entering its waters and Seoul held anti-submarine drills in response to the March sinking of a navy vessel blamed on Pyongyang. Separately, the chief U.S. military commander in South Korea criticized the North over the sinking of the South Korean warship Cheonan in which 46 sailors died, telling the communist country to stop its aggressive actions. North Korean reaction was swift. The military declared it would scrap accords with the South designed to prevent armed clashes at their maritime border, including the cutting of a military hot line, and warned of “prompt physical strikes” if any South Korean ships enter what the North says are its waters in a disputed area off the west coast of the peninsula. A multinational team of investigators said May 20 that a North Korean torpedo sank the 1,200-ton ship. Seoul announced punitive measures, including slashing trade and resuming anti-Pyongyang propaganda over radio and loudspeakers aimed at the North. North Korea has denied attacking the ship, which sank near disputed western waters where the Koreas have fought three bloody sea battles since 1999.
7.2 quake hits South Pacific nation of Vanuatu
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.2 rattled the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu early Friday, briefly triggering a tsunami watch for the region, officials said. There were no immediate reports of damage. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake struck just after 4 a.m. local time and was centered 300 miles (485 kilometers) northwest of the capital, Port Vila, at a depth of 22 miles (36 kilometers). The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii issued a tsunami warning for Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and New Caledonia, but canceled the alert about an hour later. The center’s duty geophysicist Barry Hershorn said they had confirmed there was no tsunami from ocean buoys and from coastal sea level gauges in Vanuatu.

BOHN, OVERTON SHARE COLONIAL LEAD FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Jason Bohn, Jeff Overton and Blake Adams shot 7-under 63s on Thursday to share the first-round lead at the Colonial, where 2008 champion Phil Mickelson’s return turned into a struggle after an impressive start. Mickelson birdied the first two holes, but that was the lowest he got on a hot day with ideal scoring conditions. Lefty finished with a 1-over 71 and is tied for 89th place, while 75 players were under par. It will take quite a comeback for Mickelson to win his third Colonial, a victory that would push him to No. 1 in the world ranking ahead of Tiger Woods for the first time in his career. He has work to do just to make the cut and participate in the tournament’s second “Pink Out” during the third round Saturday. Mickelson wasn’t at a pinkswathed “Hogan’s Alley” to defend his title last May after finding out that his wife had breast cancer. That is when the Colonial had its first “Pink Out” to honor Amy Mickelson and raise awareness of the disease. Overton shot his career-best round after being even through seven holes, while Bohn, who won last month in New Orleans, had his season-best round despite congestion so bad that he couldn’t hear out of his left ear.

The quarterback was suspended without pay for six games last month by commissioner Roger Goodell after a 20-year-old college student accused him of sexual assault in Milledgeville, Ga. No charges were filed.
NASCAR NEWMAN WINS 9TH POLE AT CHARLOTTE
CONCORD (AP) — Ryan Newman has continued his mastery of qualifying at Charlotte Motor Speedway, capturing his ninth pole at the track for Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600. Newman’s bold decision to run his lap at the top of the slick track on Thursday night paid off when he was clocked at 187.546 mph. He’ll start on the pole for the second straight year in NASCAR’s longest race. No active driver has more poles at Charlotte than Newman, who moved within five of David Pearson’s track record. Newman, though, is still looking for his first Sprint Cup victory at the track.

(16-10) at Laney Flash (17-8) forward Time: 7 p.m. to 2010 and the Yellow Jackets are now just one series victory away from going to the state championship for the first time since 2001. The Yellow Jackets (16-10), the fifth seed and the last remaining team from the Tri-9 Conference, will battle Laney (18-7), the fourth seed from the Mideastern Conference, in the East regional final of the NCHSAA 4-A state baseball tournament. The Yellow Jackets and the Buccaneers will play a best-of-three series that begins at 7 tonight in Wilmington. Last season, the Yellow Jackets graduated four seniors and head coach Charlie Spivey was forced to do a lot more teaching of the game than he had originally anticipated headed into the season.

Frye keeps building heroic playoff resume Jackets ace is 3-0 in the postseason and belted game-winning homer against Apex By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com
SANFORD — Of all the moments he’s had in the 2010 postseason, this might have been Dillon Frye’s most memorable one. With two outs in the bottom the seventh, the junior walked to the plate with the sole purpose of putting an end to a tie ballgame and keeping Lee County’s baseball season alive. That’s exactly what he did, too.
With two balls and a strike in the count, Frye belted a walk-off solo home run that lifted the Yellow Jackets to a 4-3 victory over Tri-9 Conference rival Apex in the NCHSAA 4-A East Regional semifinals on Wednesday night in Sanford. “Going to the plate, I kept saying to myself, ‘End it right now,’” said Frye after the game. “I knew we needed a big play to prevent us from going into extra innings and we only had one last shot to end the game and move on to the next round.” It wasn’t just Frye’s heroics on the plate that’s helped the Yellow Jackets (16-10) get one series victory away from competing for the state championship. It’s been his effort on the mound as

SPORTS SCENE
Obama lauds Duke, takes heat over â&#x20AC;&#x2122;09 pick WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This is what you get for ever picking North Carolina, Mr. President. President Barack Obama on Thursday heaped praise on the Duke menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team for winning the NCAA championship last month â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a Blue Devils squad that capped its run in one of the more exciting title games in recent memory, a 61-59 contest against upstart Butler that came down to the final shot. But standing in the Rose Garden on a sticky day, Obama was still taking heat for (correctly) picking North Carolina, Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rival, to win it all in 2009. Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach, Mike Krzyzewski, bristled a bit at Obama at the time and said the president should stick to fixing the economy.

WESTERN HARNETT REWIND
Eagles advance to 4th round From Staff Reports LILLINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Western Harnett Eagles are a young softball team Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also a winning one. Fielding four freshmen, the Eagles kept to their winning ways in the third round of the state 3-A playoffs, downing Ledford 5-2 on Wednesday night to win the district championship. Western Harnett will play Southwest Randolph in the sectional final at 7 p.m. on Friday. Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win marks Western Harnettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13th straight victory. The Eagles have not lost a conference game since their meeting with Union Pines on March 3.
Western Harnett (16-4) fields four freshman in Taylor Holder at first base, Taylor Haines at pitcher, Hannah Prior and KeyKey Williams in the outfield. They go with two sophomores in Jessica Cameron and Samantha Bowen and three juniors in Kerstine Womack, Caroline Womble Sierra Holmes. The lone senior on the team is Casey Howington. After a quick first inning, Western put its bats to work. Leadoff batter Womack started things going with fly ball to left field that fell in just inside the foul line for a base hit. Womble followed with a hard-hit ball to third that deflected off the glove of Ledfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mel Green, placing Womack and
Womble on first and third after a steal by Womack. A hard-hit ball by Sierra Holmes was smothered by Ledfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meg Everhart before it could do too much damage, but it still went for a hit and her 29th RBI on the season. Holder wrapped up Westernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hitting streak with a double to right center field, plating Womble and Holmes to give Western a 3-0 lead. Ledford (18-9), the No. 2 seed from the MidPiedmont Conference, remained scoreless again in the second, but the Cape Fear valley Conference champion Eagles got on the board again in the bottom half. Womack laced a grounder down the first base line deep into the
outfield, giving her a triple. Wombleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grounder to Everhart was fielded cleanly but Womack managed to score to make it 4-0. Western Harnett struck again in the bottom of the fourth. Cameron led off with a single up the center, which was followed by a single by Williams. Womack sacrificed the runners over to second and third, and Womble drove in a run with a sacrifice of her own, plating Cameron before the side was retired for a comfortable 5-0 lead. Ledford scored twice in the fifth, but never threatened. Haines was the winning pitcher on the night, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out three.
NASCAR
Busch-Hamlin dispute seems far from settled CONCORD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Just as Kyle Busch settled into a chair in the media center Thursday, someone dropped a package in front of him. It was a FedEx box. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Denny Hamlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NASCAR sponsor. Busch smiled, opened it up and found a pair of boxing gloves inside. Busch initially shrugged off the gag that came five days after his on-track
altercation with Hamlin in the All-Star race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but then sounded like he might consider going a round or two with his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate. If so, Hamlin is ready. Ding, ding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kyle brings this stuff on himself, and he gets mad at the media for asking him questions about his blowups,â&#x20AC;? Hamlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But

he does it to himself. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be part of it. Any drama that he wants to create is on him. Anything he says on the radio is on him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to say, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be done with it, is that each year I think Kyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to grow and he just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Until he puts it all together, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll become a champion, and right now he just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have himself all together.â&#x20AC;? So much for playing nice, settling their differences in private and preventing another Sprint Cup feud. Although Busch insisted he and Hamlin have moved on from last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
incident, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back down from radio chatter in which he threatened to kill Hamlin. Any regrets? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Absolutely not,â&#x20AC;? Busch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the heat of the moment and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who I am and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my expression and I am not going to be sorry for what I say. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freedom of speech. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was frustrated. ... It was a saying that is said a lot, and take it for what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth. ... It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t joking, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to happen. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meant (like I was going to kill him). With what? With my great looks?â&#x20AC;?

Celtics hope MLB ROUNDUP to avoid Bruins’ fate
BOSTON (AP) — It’s a good thing for the Boston Celtics that the NBA rescinded center Kendrick Perkins’ technical foul and nixed his suspension. He might be the only big man they have left. Perkins was ejected from Boston’s 113-92 loss to Orlando in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals on Wednesday night after picking up two technicals in the first half. The league rescinded one on Thursday, clearing Perkins to play in Game 6 when Boston tries for the third time to eliminate the Magic and advance to the NBA finals. “We know what we haven’t done, and what we need to do,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said Thursday. “I think we’ll be ready to do it tomorrow night.” Even with Perkins, the Celtics will still be shorthanded. Backup Glen “Big Baby” Davis was diagnosed with a concussion after blacking out on the court from an inadvertent elbow to the face in Game 5. Rasheed Wallace tweaked his back in the game and couldn’t even sit down to watch film on Thursday. Rivers said they are both gametime decisions. Reserve Marquis Daniels also sustained a concussion, and he has been all but ruled out for Friday night’s game. “Our mentality is: We just have to lace them up and go play,” Rivers said. “We have a lot of bumps and bruises right now, but we’ll be OK.” The Celtics need a victory Friday night to avoid a trip back to Orlando for a seventh game, where a Magic victory would make them the first team in NBA history to come back from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven playoff series. “I didn’t like being in a 3-0 hole, but it’s still doable. I don’t think we’ve had a lack of belief,” Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy said. “We can’t go back and get those first three. ... I don’t know why we didn’t get at it, I don’t know why we didn’t play with the same type of energy in the first three games. I really do not know.”

ence champion Eagles (16-4) advanced to the East regional semifinals. They will host Southwest Randolph tonight at 7 for a berth in the state Final Four at the Walnut Creek softball complex in Raleigh. “We don’t really have any freshmen now,” says Womble. “They’ve all graduated to the next level. They sure don’t play like freshmen.” Neither do the sophomores or the juniors, which include longtime stars of the program Caroline Womble and Kerstine Womack, who combined for five of the team’s eight hits against Ledford. The Eagles have won 13 straight games and show no signs of slowing down. Part of the reason for the Eagles’ quick ascension has to do with the team’s approach to games. Rather than get caught up in the opponent, Western Harnett chooses instead to keep the focus tight and on itself. It helps to keep the

Los Angeles Dodgers pinch hitter Manny Ramirez reacts after striking out in the ninth inning with the tying run on first base as the Chicago Cubs beat the Dodgers 1-0 in a baseball game Thursday in Chicago.
Lilly outduels Ely as Cubs prevail 1-0 Cubs 1, Dodgers 0 CHICAGO (AP) — Ted Lilly pitched seven scoreless innings, Tyler Colvin drove in the lone run with a double in the eighth, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 1-0 on Thursday. Mike Fontenot led off the eighth with a triple down the right field line and came around on Colvin’s one-out double down the line, which chased tough luck loser John Ely (3-2) and sent the Cubs to their eighth win in 11 games. Both players had come on in the eighth for the Cubs, with Colvin going to left as part of a double switch in which Sean Marshall replaced Lilly. Fontenot replaced Jeff Baker at third when he walked off the field with a vision problem in his right eye following a leadoff single by Russell Martin. Marshall (5-1) also gave up a one-out single to Matt Kemp, putting runners on first and second, before Casey Blake lined to first and James Loney grounded to second. Brewers 4, Astros 3, 10 innings MILWAUKEE (AP) — Ricky Weeks walked home with the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Milwaukee Brewers a comeback 4-3 victory over the Houston Astros.
youngest players from being overwhelmed, even while the stage gets brighter and the stakes get bigger. “With us it’s about taking one inning at a time,” Womble says. “We want to win every inning. I don’t know if we’re powerful enough to try to beat somebody when looking at the whole game, so we just try to win the most innings.” It’s working, and after watching success on the other side of the county at Harnett Central and Triton, now the fans of the western part of the area have something to cheer about. “There’s a lot of excitement,” Womble says. “This is the most excitement I’ve ever seen in western Harnett County around softball. Western Harnett hasn’t enjoyed the same kind of success until this team came around. The community can’t be any more supportive.” Should the Eagles win, they would advance to the Final Four, where the champion is determined among the four regional semifinalists in a doubleelimination tournament.
Casey McGehee poked a leadoff single into right off Houston closer Matt Lindstrom (1-1), who had converted 22 straight save opportunities dating to last season, including his first ten in 2010. After Corey Hart flied out to right and George Kottaras walked, Alcides Escobar hit a liner to left to load the bases for pinch-hitter Randy Wolf, who struck out. Weeks, whose throwing error in the sixth gave the Astros their third unearned run and a 3-2 lead, walked on a 3-2 pitch. Rockies 8, D’backs 2 DENVER (AP) — Seth Smith, Carlos Gonzalez and Ryan Spilborghs hit consecutive home runs in the seventh inning, Troy Tulowitzki also
homered and the Colorado Rockies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-2 to sweep the three-game series. Gonzalez and Spilborghs finished with three hits each for the Rockies, who have won a season-high five straight. Stephen Drew had two hits and scored a run for Arizona, which has dropped four in a row. Giants 5, Nationals 4 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Freddy Sanchez hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the seventh inning after earlier getting hit in the face by a spiked cleat, Aubrey Huff added a solo home run and the San Francisco Giants rallied to beat the Washington Nationals 5-4 on Thursday.
PARIS (AP) — Maybe this is progress for Andy Roddick on clay: He lost serve seven times Thursday and still won. On a rainy, chilly day at Roland Garros, Roddick endured two delays and difficult conditions to defeat Blaz Kavcic 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2. The damp weather took some zip off Roddick’s biggest weapon, and for much of the match he was dueling from the baseline on his worst surface. But Roddick has become a more patient player in recent months, and he willingly settled into rallies that often lasted more than two dozen shots. “It was brutal for me out there,” he said. “I couldn’t get my serve to go anywhere, and the ball was just sitting up. It kind of takes away a lot of shots and it makes it just about hitting the ball and running. ... “I don’t know the last time I lost serve seven times and won. So, I mean, it’s bad, but there’s got to be something good in there somewhere, too.”
Tillman, Howard elected to college Hall of Fame NEW YORK (AP) — The late Pat Tillman and Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard are among the 14 newly elected members of the College Football Hall of Fame. The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame announced its latest class Thursday at a news conference at the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. Tillman played linebacker for Arizona State from 1994-97 and gave up an NFL career to enlist in the Army in 2002. He was killed while serving in Afghanistan in 2004. Howard was a wide receiver for Michigan and won the Heisman 1991.
The other players in the new Hall class include defensive lineman Dennis Byrd of North Carolina State; center Ronnie Caveness of Arkansas; defensive lineman Ray Childress of Texas A&M; guard Randy Cross of UCLA; running back Sam Cunningham of Southern California; quarterback Mark Herrmann of Purdue; receiver Clarkston Hines of Duke; defensive back Chet Moeller of Navy; halfback Jerry Stovall of LSU; and linebacker Alfred Williams of Colorado.
Thorn ready to start interviews for new coach EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — President and general manager Rod Thorn is ready to start interviewing candidates for the vacant New Jersey Nets coaching job. Thorn plans to talk to about six people with NBA experience about taking over a team that posted a franchise-low 12 wins and set a league record with 18 straight losses to open the season. Thorn would not say whether he will interview anyone over the Memorial Day weekend, but there have been multiple reports that former Dallas coach Avery Johnson will get the first interview. Thorn would not comment about that.
Cards RHP Lohse to have surgery on right forearm SAN DIEGO (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Kyle Lohse is set to undergo surgery on his right forearm on Friday. Lohse, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with exertional compartment syndrome, will have the surgery performed by Dr. Stephen Shin in Los Angeles. Lohse was examined by Shin on Wednesday at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic in Los Angeles.

“A lot of what happened last year factored from so much inexperience,” said Spivey. “We were competitive in almost every game but because we were so young and inexperienced, we weren’t able to close out games and finish the way we wanted.” After the rough 2009 campaign where they gained valuable playing experience, the Yellow Jackets finally found a lineup that worked and finished 8-4 in the regular season of the CCSSL and almost beat a good Pinecrest team in the first round of the league tournament. “We were successful in the summer and made the postseason,” said Spivey. “I think that gave us some confidence in ourselves coming into this season. The kids stayed the course and have really worked hard throughout the offseason and during this season to get to where we are right now.” The hard work that the Yellow Jackets put forth has led them to eight straight wins and has landed them in the East Regional final against a Laney program that is also on a tear right now, having won seven straight. During their own magical postseason run, the Buccaneers defeated top-seeded Hoggard 11-9 and recently defeated J.H. Rose 2-0 to get to the regional final. “They’re a lot like us,” said Spivey. “They’ve started gelling at just the right time and it’s gotten them this far. Laney’s a good team and we’re expecting a tough battle.” The Buccaneers scored a run in the first and a run in the second and the pitching duo of Mike Hilla and Ryan LaGrange did enough to prevent anymore runs. “I saw them play against Rose and they are a very fundamentally sound team,” said Spivey. “They’re extremely well-coached. They make good defensive plays and know

well. Against the Cougars (14-12), Frye allowed just five hits while striking out 12 to earn his third win of the postseason. After walking the first three batters of the game to load the bases in the first inning, Frye struck out the side and at one point struck out five batters in a row to keep the Cougars from scoring. This is the same Dillon Frye that limited a traditionally tough Richmond County program to just three hits in a complete-game shutout. This is the same player that allowed just five hits against the three-time defending Cap-7 Conference champion Millbrook in the first round. This is the same Dillon Frye that helped Lee County hold on to a 3-1 victory over Fuquay-Varina just to get into the playoffs in a complete-game, six-strikeout performance. “He’s just gotten better and better in each game that he’s pitched,” said Lee County head coach Charlie Spivey. “He really pitched well once again and he bailed us out there at the end of the game with that big

how to bunt when it’s called upon. They beat a good Rose team at Rose and that says a lot about them as a program.” On the mound for the Yellow Jackets will be sophomore lefty Nick Durazo, who is making his second appearance on the hill this postseason. In a 6-3 third-round victory over Broughton, Durazo threw six innings and allowed just three hits while striking out five in his first career playoff start. “We’re just hoping that Nick can give us some quality innings just like he did against Broughton,” said Spivey. “He’s more than capable of having big innings and we’ve got tons of confidence in him.” After their 4-3 gut-wrenching win over conference rival Apex, the Yellow Jackets had two big home runs from Garrett Verrilli, who hit his first homer of his career in the second inning, and a walk-off solo shot from pitcher Dillon Frye. “All season long, we’ve really been focused on hitting mechanics,” said Spivey. “We’ve been especially concentrating on our backspin and I think the kids are finally understanding the importance of that. We saw it with Garrett’s homer. The ball had plenty of backspin, which helped it get over the wall. And Dillon just crushed his.” The Yellow Jackets held a short practice on Thursday afternoon to loosen the players up and break a sweat. Spivey says that after all the adversity his team has faced over the past year— losing, injuries, changes to the lineup and the death of student-athlete Josh Britt — his team can handle anything that comes its way. “Once the game starts, I think we’ll be fine,” said Spivey. “We’ve got a long bus ride ahead of us and we’re staying the night, which is something we haven’t done this year. This has been as emotional ride we’ve been on this season. With the way our kids have handled this adversity, I think they’re ready for anything.”
home run. It doesn’t much get better than that.” The win puts the Yellow Jackets, winners of eight straight, one step closer to securing a spot in the state championship. The Jackets will play in the East Regional final of the 4-A state tournament against Laney in a best-of-three series that starts at 7 p.m. Friday in Wilmington. Game 2 of the series will take place Saturday afternoon and, if neccessary, the third game will also be played on Saturday. All three games will be played at Laney High School. “We’ve got a lot of momentum right now,” said Frye. “We definitely came into this game feeling a little better about ourselves and our chances because we’ve played Apex twice before and won both of those games. We still have a job to do and now we’ve got to go and take care of business at Laney.” Lee County took a 2-0 lead thanks to a two-run home run in the bottom of the second from Garrett Verilli. Sophomore Nick Durazo, who will most likely be starting today’s game against Laney on the mound, hit an RBI single in the third inning that scored Frye to make it 3-0.
The Cougars bounced back to tie things up at 3 in the sixth inning. In the top of the seventh, after allowing Apex’s Nick Smith to get on base thanks to a single, Frye struck out two of the next three batters he faced to keep the game tied headed into the final frame. “After the sixth inning, where we had a few defensive breakdowns, I just knew I had to step it up on the mound in the seventh and keep them from taking the lead,” said Frye. “We had some tough mental errors out there, but we just kept believing in ourselves.” Being all about the team, Frye isn’t about to take all the credit for helping the Yellow Jackets get to their first regional final since 2001, where Spivey and company celebrated their second state championship victory in five years. “None of this would be possible without the help of my teammates,” said Frye. “They helped the cause by putting runs on the board and keeping us in the game. They also helped me out on the mound by making smart plays behind me. The entire team has played great and we’re all enjoying this together.”

DEAR ABBY
BRIDGE HAND
Woman hides imperfections by showing off her wealth DEAR ABBY: I work with a woman who constantly tells me how much she has -- a condo in Florida, a timeshare in the Virgin Islands, her portfolio, the expensive ring her husband bought her and what she spends on wedding/holiday gifts. She even told me about how much she used to make at her previous job. As a struggling single parent, I find it insensitive. How do I deal with this? Is it about my own inadequacies? She is otherwise a seemingly nice lady. My boyfriend says I need to just “get over it.” What do you think? — “PENNY LESS” IN PENNSYLVANIA
HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate
Happy Birthday: Plant your feet firmly on the ground and move in a positive direction that suits your needs. Whoever doesn’t come along for the ride isn’t likely to have anything to offer you in the future. Choose your friends and colleagues wisely and get rid of any dead weight or baggage. Honesty will keep you from getting into trouble personally and professionally. Your numbers are 2, 5, 12, 26, 29, 34, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can get ahead if you are swift to make a move to free up your cash. Money is heading your way, so be smart about the way you invest it. A business trip will lead to an interesting opportunity. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t be fooled by an unrealistic offer. You are better off putting your cash in the bank than spending on something that doesn’t live up to its promises. An emotional squabble will be costly if you are reluctant to say no. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It will be difficult to make choices that tug at you emotionally. Be pragmatic or ask someone you know to help you make an important decision. Offer your time, not your cash, to a cause and you will avoid a stressful situation. CANCER (June 21-July 22): An opportunity you have been feeling uncertain about will become clear. Don’t be afraid of added responsibility. It will allow you to direct the outcome of a situation you are interested in controlling. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get involved in activities or groups that stimulate you and you will feel alive and ready to conquer the world. Don’t let someone’s disdain for what you are doing stand in your way. Feeling good about who you are and what you can accomplish is what counts.
WORD JUMBLE
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you upset someone unintentionally, it will be difficult to make the changes you have been planning. Think and respond rather than reacting harshly. Diplomacy will allow everyone to maintain dignity and have a graceful way out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t just dream about taking a trip or learning something different, do it. The people you meet, once you follow your heart and your dreams, will encourage you to follow through. Your intuition will guide you in the right direction. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself. A new responsibility will help you realize your potential. Diversify and you will excel in ways you never thought possible. Don’t shun your responsibilities. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Consider what you want and the possibilities you foresee and you can manipulate the situation to fit your needs. Your ability to act impulsively may unnerve someone but your sense of adventure will dominate. You can forge ahead and impress the people watching. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A simple approach to a new project will make it more appealing. Mix business with pleasure and you will find it easier to seal a deal. A contract or settlement can bring you greater assets and a promising future. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The changes you make now with regard to the way you live and the things you do for money will have a positive effect on your future. Diversifying will lead to greater independence and a serious partner with lots to offer. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will find it difficult to control your emotions, leaving you in a vulnerable position with a tendency to overreact, making matters worse. Instead, keep busy and focus on work.
DEAR “PENNY LESS”: This woman’s constant need to talk about how much she has is less about your “inadequacies” than about her own. People who are happy, secure and socially sensitive don’t usually feel a compulsion to brag about what they have. Once you understand that fact, you may feel less inadequate around her. But if that isn’t the case, resolve to spend more of your time with people who talk about ideas and things you have in common, and less with her. o DEAR ABBY: My mother was physically and verbally abusive to my sister and me when we were kids and teenagers. Mom had a short fuse. She’d slap us if we accidentally dropped a piece of spaghetti or scuffed our shoes.

If she thought we were talking back, she’d really lose it and things would get ugly. My sister is a mother herself now, and her kids are brats. I know it’s because she doesn’t want to be strict or abusive to them like our mother was to us. I am engaged and thinking about a family of my own someday. I don’t know how to discipline children or how to correct their bad behavior without becoming abusive. How can I treat my children with kindness, but still have them behave well and be respectful? — WANTS TO END THE CYCLE DEAR WANTS: Contrary to popular belief, not everyone is born with the instinctive ability to be a good parent. Parenting is a skill, and like most skills, effective parenting has to be learned. Because you come from a dysfunctional home, a way to ensure that you won’t repeat the pattern of abuse would be to enroll in parenting classes and learn about child
DEAR ABBY: Last year, when I was a freshman in college, my boyfriend, “Charles,” accidentally broke my laptop by closing it on a little bouncy ball. I paid the $800 to have it repaired even though he was the one who broke it because I had the money and he had none. He said he’d pay me back, but it has been a year and I have yet to see any of that money. As a German major, I am required to study in Germany next year and I am strapped for cash. I have reminded Charles about my laptop and he says he’ll repay me, but I know he’s still in a bad place financially. Am I wrong to ask for the entire $800 or should I ask for half the amount? Or should I just forget it since it was an accident? I could use some good advice. — FRAUGHT FRAULEIN DEAR FRAULEIN: You can ask for whatever amount you wish, but whether you’ll get a penny is up for grabs. It appears Charles is immature. He should have repaid you even if it meant taking a part-time job. You’re a smart girl. Chalk this up to tuition in the school of experience, and recognize that your boyfriend can’t be counted on -- for anything.

Horde of frogs keeps Greek highway traffic slow
Suitless in Seattle: Residents want nude beach
THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — Thousands of frogs are still slowing traffic on a busy Greek highway, a day after a horde of them forced officials to close the road altogether. Police said Thursday they were directing traffic around frogs on the Egnatia Highway about 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) outside Greece’s second largest city, Thessaloniki. The frogs, leaving a nearby lake to look for food, were expected to disrupt traffic through the weekend. Police closed a section of the road Wednesday after three cars skidded off the road when the drivers tried to dodge the frogs.
SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn is asking residents what the city needs, and many are warming to the idea of a nude beach. A clothing-optional beach is in third place Thursday in an online vote on the mayor’s website. Far ahead in first and second are expanding light rail and legalizing marijuana, but about 870 people favor going bare in the air. The thought of shedding duds in the often rainy and cloudy city may give some people goose bumps. But a small number of the suitless in Seattle brave the shores of Lake Washington and secluded but chillier spots on Puget Sound. And in June, there’s the Fremont neighborhood’s Solstice Parade, where unclad bicyclists with abundant body paint are the norm.
Road construction sign woos Wisconsin motorists STEVENS POINT, Wis. (AP) — A digital construction sign along a central Wisconsin interstate has been flashing a rock-inspired passionate message to passing motorists. The sign near Stevens Point spelled out “Danger Danger,” “High Voltage,” “When We Touch, “When We Kiss,” to rush-hour drivers Thursday. The words are borrowed from the song “Danger! High Voltage” by the Detroit-based rock band Electric Six. James Bierman, co-owner of Central State Signing, says a hacker must have changed the message board. The black and orange construction sign was placed on Interstate 39 because the state Department of Transportation contracted with United Painting of Forest Junction to repaint several overpasses in the area.

Pay attention to God all year long Q: I admit we’re mainly “Christmas and Easter” Christians, since those are the only days we go to church. But what’s wrong with that? Weekends are the only time we have to ourselves, and God wouldn’t want us to neglect our family time, would He? — L.K. A: No, God wouldn’t want you to neglect your times together as a family; after all, He created the family. But God doesn’t want you to neglect something even more important — and that is your time with Him. God not only created you, but He also loves you, and more than anything else He wants you to love Him in return. But you can’t do this by only thinking about Him twice a year. How do I know God loves you — and how can you know it? Think for a moment about those two days you do attend church — Christmas and Easter. Why are they so important? Christmas is important because it reminds us that God came down from heaven and became a man. Jesus wasn’t just another baby; He was God in human flesh! Easter is important because it reminds us that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and rose again from the dead to give us eternal life. And this is what God did for you! He became a man so you could know what He is like — and He died and rose again so you could be saved. The Bible’s words are true: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

ow do dreams become reality? How did such qualities as freedom, individualism, justice and opportunity advance from conception to completion? What was the catalyst here? The answer to these questions is also the reason we celebrate Memorial Day. These dreams did not become reality without the sacrifice of thousands of lives in battle. We live in freedom today, thanks to the heroes who gave up their fledgling futures for us. They gave us a personal definition of patriotism. Though these courageous men and women were afforded little goodness in battleâ&#x20AC;Śthere was one item many insisted on keeping close to their heart. That was the Bible, the comfort of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holy Word that saved souls even when life could not be preserved. Honor those who have served our country when you worship this week.

White House party will fete Jewish culture By JOCELYN NOVECK AP National Writer
NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In politics, as elsewhere, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sport thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost as popular as people-watching: Guest-list watching. And this week, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Jewish community in Washington and beyond thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buzzing over whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on the list when Barack and Michelle Obama host the first-ever White House reception marking Jewish Heritage Month. The White House wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t divulge the guest list for Thursday afternoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event in the East Room. But those with knowledge of the list say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an eclectic and interesting one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and markedly different
from past Jewish-themed events like the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Hanukkah party. Where that event brings established Jewish community leaders to the White House, Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reception is meant to honor American Jews who have made contributions in the arts, music, sports, the space program and other fields. The most prominent guest on the list, according to several people familiar with it: former baseball great Sandy Koufax, the left-handed Hall of Fame pitcher for the Dodgers who famously refused to pitch in a World Series game on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in

Judaism. (Koufax, now 74, could not be reached to confirm his plans.) Names also mentioned by members of the Jewish community: Olympic swimmer Dara Torres, author Judy Blume, and a young woman who was wounded in a 1999 shooting at a Los Angeles Jewish center, Mindy Finkelstein. But the list also includes a number of younger Jewish activists involved in interesting initiatives. One of them, Shawn Landres, heads Jumpstart, which he calls a â&#x20AC;&#x153;thinkubator for sustainable Jewish innovation.â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traveling to Washington from Los
Angeles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been excitement about this, people posting on Facebook and talking about whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming,â&#x20AC;? says Landres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past,â&#x20AC;? he adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;when there were Jewish events at the White House, they tended to go to the same well of people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; big Jewish organizations, the usual suspects. What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed here is a commitment to go beyond that. The administration is trying to engage the Jewish community in different ways.â&#x20AC;? Of course, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that tensions have surfaced between the administration and some elements of the Jewish

lunch early this month between the president and Noble laureate Eli Wiesel. But though Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event certainly canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt, officials point out that plans have been under way for several months. And the pressure actually began years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Listen, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to get the White House to put on this event for five years,â&#x20AC;? says Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), the congresswoman who spearheaded the campaign to establish Jewish Heritage Month in the first place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it has anything to do with the current outreach efforts.â&#x20AC;?

community over its policy toward Israel, particularly regarding construction of Jewish settlements in east Jerusalem. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tempting to see this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reception as another step in what many have called Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current â&#x20AC;&#x153;charm offensiveâ&#x20AC;? toward American Jewish leaders, including: a meeting last week between the president and Jewish congressional leaders; gatherings of top White House officials and rabbis; addresses by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and National Security Adviser James L. Jones to major Jewish groups; and a private
