BROADWAY — Despite balmy temperatures, about 100 people gathered at the North Carolina Veterans Memorial on Monday to honor local veterans and fallen soldiers.

“Even though it’s hot in the sun, I promise in Afghanistan or Iraq it’s a heck of a lot hotter,” said Congressman Bob Etheridge, the keynote speaker for this year’s event.

Etheridge spoke to the crowd about the importance of caring for veterans and their families.

“I’d like to remind folks that whether you’ve served in active duty or not, if you’re a family member, you have served,” Etheridge said.

Monday’s ceremony was a time for local veterans to reflect on their experiences.

James Wright, veterans liaison for the memorial and a member of Disabled American Veterans, said it means the

world to him that veterans and civilians alike came to show their support.

Wright said in his experience after the Vietnam War, veterans were “more or less spit at” upon their return home, but now he sees veterans treated with respect.

“It means that the people appreciate the veterans, and we appreciate them,” Wright said.

Members of the Marine Corps League of Sanford were also present at the ceremony.

Jacques Miller, who served in the Marines for 28 years, said for him, Memorial Day is about

Deputies investigate fatal shooting

LILLINGTON (MCT) —A 34year-old Lillington man died from a gunshot fired by his father Friday night, according to the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office.

At 9:21 p.m., a caller reported that her son had been shot by her husband at 268 Tacia Drive, the Sheriff’s Office said. EMS units responded, and Arthur Stacey Case was pronounced dead at the home.

The father, Robert Case, 68, was at the home when authorities arrived. He is cooperating with detectives, the Sheriff’s Office said.

No charges have been filed, and the circumstances of the shooting remained under investigation Saturday.

Maj. Gary McNeill said he doesn’t expect any new developments before Tuesday.

Authorities plan to wait for an autopsy report, conduct more interviews and consult with the District Attorney’s Office, he said.

McNeill wouldn’t discuss what took place before the shooting. He wouldn’t say whether investigators believe the shooting appeared justified. “We don’t think the public is in danger, or anybody else is in danger, from the person who did the shooting,� McNeill said. “We’re still reviewing the circumstances, but at this point we don’t feel that we have enough information to make a definitive decision on making an arrest.�

UNC to pay rescuer’s hospital bill CHAPEL HILL (MCT) — UNC Hospitals expects to pick up the hospital bills for Joey Shelton, the Pittsboro man who was hit by a car as he tried to stop a kidnapping in Chapel Hill this month, a spokeswoman said Friday.

Meanwhile, a fund established at RBC Bank continues to receive donations daily, from Boston, Atlanta, Washington, all over North Carolina and even the homeless shelter in Chapel Hill. “The support has been unbelievable,� said banking center manager Roger Badrock.

He said he could not release how much money has come in but said 31 donations arrived Thursday alone.

Shelton does not have health insurance. If UNC Health Care pays the hospital tab, the bank fund could help him with home care, medical supplies and missed days of work. “There’s just lots of costs when you’ve been hurt,� said Karen McCall, vice president for public affairs and marketing for the health system.

APEX (MCT) — Terrified shoppers fled a crowded SuperTarget late Sunday morning after a brazen shooter walked into the store and shot and killed a cashier, a former girlfriend, before killing himself.

Guadalupe F. Rosas, 58, who had worked at the superstore in Apex’s Beaver Creek Commons Shopping Center for two years, was killed after being shot as she was preparing to ring customers up at her register.

The gunman was identified Monday as Mervin Carroll Mims, 67. Mims’ daughter, Angie Daugherty, told WRAL-TV Monday that her father was terminally ill with prostate cancer.

Police say Mims turned his Glock semi-automatic pistol on himself when Apex police responding to the shooting confronted him, said Capt. Ann Stephens of the Apex Police Department. “Our officers never fired a shot,� she said.

Police think Rosas and Mims dated five years ago.

The gunshots that took Rosas’ life touched off a chaotic scene in a store crowded with Memorial Day weekend shoppers.

A few hundred employees and Target customers fled the massive store in the suburban Wake town about 15 miles west of Raleigh, when the shooting erupted between 11 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. There were no known hostages, and the shooter only targeted Rosas, Stephens said.

Justin Ley of Cary was checking out with $200 worth of groceries at the register right next to Rosas’ when he saw her go past to open her station at the front of the store. He remembers seeing her nametag, “Lupe,� as she squeezed past Ley’s shop-

Then Ley heard two loud bangs. Lupe, the cashier, collapsed just feet away from him. He looked up and saw the shooter, whom Ley described as an older white man, point a handgun at Ley and other customers. “Calm down, calm down,� Ley said to the gunman, repeating the phrase close to a dozen times.

In response, the gunman pointed his pistol at Ley and other nearby customers and ordered them out of the store with profane language.

Ley obliged, leaving his keys, cell phone, wallet, groceries and one of his flip-flops as he ran away from the armed man.

Four people were injured in the panicky exodus from the store, one with a broken bone, as people shoved each other, trampled on others or ran into objects as they fled, Stephens said. Apex police evacuated 150 from the store, and many others are thought to have fled on their own.

Britons in the cooler Just before the shots rang out, Tim Haynes entered the store with his nearly 2-year-old son Bailey and his parents, who just arrived Saturday night from England for a visit to their son’s Cary home.

The family stopped to pick up groceries and snacks to fix lunch for what they thought was going to be the start of a relaxing day. But then they heard two blasts and realized there was a shooter in the store as others began to scream and flee around them.

They rushed into the

back of the store’s grocery section, hoping to find an exit. Instead, they barricaded themselves inside a walk-in cooler with a Target employee. They fed Bailey blueberries to keep the toddler calm. The only thought running through Tim Haynes’ head was that he had to keep his boy safe. “I was terrified,� said Sandra Haynes, Tim’s mother and Bailey’s grandmother.

Police officers entered their area of the store, yelling “Hands up! Hands up!�

Tim Haynes said. Once they realized the frightened family members in the walk-in cooler weren’t a threat, the officers escorted them out of the store, guns drawn, scanning for a possible second gunman. Police later determined there was only one gunman. “It felt like an hour,�

Haynes said of their short time in the cooler. “This is the safest part of America, and here we are in the middle of a shooting.�

Helping out is better than getting mad Our View Issue: The ongoing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico

Our stance: While everyone wants to point fingers now, the best thing we can do is try to help out

With each passing day, the oil spill in the Gulf makes you angrier and angrier.

Already well past the disaster from the Exxon Valdez in Alaska, the BP oil leak has become our nation’s worst economic disaster.

It does no good to point fingers right now or assign blame, and it certainly isn’t healthy to let the images of tarred birds and dead marine life overwhelm you.

What you can do, however, is help. Whether you’re a single volunteer, part of a church group or owner of a small business, there are ways to pitch in and help.

USA Today columnist Steve Strauss wrote about several agencies that are taking volunteers if

you feel the urge to head to the Gulf yourself to lend a hand. He advises that you don’t just pack up and head down there without a plan though. Call agencies like Volunteer Louisiana t (800) 755-5175 or the National Audubon Society, which is organizing volunteers for wildlife rescue and beach cleanup.

The government’s volunteer hotline can be reached at (866) 448-5816.

If you can’t donate time, you can donate money. Text “WILDLIFE” to 20222 and you will donate $10 from you phone bill to wildlife cleanup efforts. The money goes to the National Wildlife Federation.

Helping out can be as easy as

buying dishwater detergent. Proctor & Gamble, makers of Dawn detergent, has donated thousands of bottles of soap to wildlife conservation programs over the past 30 years, cleaning more than 75,000 animals. As their commercials point out, Dawn has stepped up in the Gulf as well, and your purchases of detergent help in the effort.

For more information on how to help the environmental portion of this disaster, there are dozens of avenues that can be found through search engines like Google.

Whatever you choose to do, it’s better than sitting by idly and watching the mess unfold.

Scott Mooneyham Today in North Carolina

Sanford soldier will never be forgotten To the Editor: Warrant Officer James R. “Jim” Simpson of Sanford is one of the people I remember every year on Memorial Day. Jim was killed on June 1, 1967, in an OH-23G helicopter crash in Vietnam along with his passenger Capt. “Monk” Coats of South Carolina. Jim and Monk were victims of metal fatigue in the helicopter’s main rotor controls.

I was going to fly the mission to take Monk Coats, an intelligence officer, to Saigon but let Jim take it because he wanted to do some shopping.

He was scheduled to come home in two weeks. When my daughter graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill on Mothers Day 1997, I took a few hours to drive to Sanford to try to find Jim’s grave to no avail.

I just want Jim’s friends and family in Sanford to know he has not been forgotten by those of us who served with him. He was a brave warrior, a good soldier, a great pilot and a good friend.

Etheridge’s speech more fit for a campaign than a Memorial Day event

Easley’s followers

A

few years back, a group of state public information officers suffered the misfortune of having me speak to their group. ...

They began peppering me with questions about a little brouhaha in which a press aide to former Gov. Mike Easley had unsuccessfully attempted to block me from entering a press conference because I was a few minutes late.

The conversation eventually migrated to discussing the strained relationship between the press and Easley’s press office.

By then, Easley had gone through one head press aide and was on to his second, Sherri Johnson.

I told the group that among the Capital Press Corps, the Raleigh-based reporters who cover state government, a debate raged about whether the tight control and relative disregard for the press by the governor’s office was caused by Easley or members of his staff. Despite the former governor’s ability to turn on the charm, I had come down on the side that believed the problem came from the top.

Only one person in the room had ever worked in the Easley press office.

Ernie Seneca, by that time, had moved on to the Department of Transportation.

He kept his mouth shut, but I thought I saw a wry smile.

These days, Seneca is spokesman for the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. He made the news the other day, and it wasn’t the type that is welcome.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Seneca, in 2007, forwarded to an assistant transportation secretary a copy of a letter sent to Easley by former Southport Mayor Norman Holden.

The copy included the instructions: “From Ernie – advise that you shred this after reading.”

That shredding would be a violation of state public records law. And Holden’s contract as a Department of Transportation liaison is now being looked at as part of the ongoing federal investigation of Easley.

Seneca told the newspaper that he believed his instructions to shred the letter came from Johnson, then Easley’s press secretary.

These latest revelations are just one more brush stroke painting a Nixonian tint to Easley administration.

Seneca and Johnson, though, weren’t much more than foot soldiers in the administration.

Seneca’s current boss, Crime Control and Public Safety Secretary Reuben Young, was no foot soldier. He was a general. Young was Easley’s chief lawyer, his general counsel.

He remains the top figure in the Easley administration to make the transition to Gov. Beverly Perdue’s administration.

Given the gravity and nature of the allegations piling up against the Easley administration, Young needs to publicly address what he did or didn’t know.

If he won’t — or can’t because of his legal obligations to his old boss — he has no place in state government.

Letters to the Editor

Future for new grads A

cross North Carolina, thousands of high school and college students are finally getting their ultimate prize — a diploma. After a summer break, some will continue their schooling by going on to college or graduate school. Others will stop their formal education and venture out into the real world of full-time work and responsibility.

For those graduates moving on to the office, factory or farm, what kind of work world will they find? The recent news hasn’t been very encouraging. Unemployment is at a modern period high in North Carolina. Pay raises have been few and far between. And although economists do see some encouraging signs in the state’s job market, progress will likely be slow.

So what’s the pep talk I would give a fresh job entrant? What can I say that’s positive and uplifting amidst so much relative gloom in today’s economy?

To quote an old saying, my first point is “this too shall pass.” The recession that has gripped our economy for most of the past two years will end; indeed, some economists say it already has. It will be succeeded by a period of economic growth. But this won’t be the last recession. Recessions are part of the business cycle, in which economies grow for a while, then fall back (recede), then grow again, then recede and so on.

In other words, our economy doesn’t move in a straight line. Workers should expect ups (good times) and downs (bad times).

I remember my father — who never completed high school and worked all his life in the construction industry —recognizing this cycle. When the work was there, he’d take it, even if it meant 12- or 15-hour days. This was because he knew there would be many times when there would be no work. So my father would work and save for those inevitable rainy days. This is good advice!

Another piece of blunt economic advice is to remember that jobs aren’t guaranteed.

Businesses don’t owe people jobs. A business hires workers for what the workers can do for the business, to help the business produce a product or service and make a profit. If the business owners can make a larger profit by substituting machinery or technology for workers, they’ll do it.

What this harsh reality means is that workers must constantly prove themselves.

They must always show the boss they are valuable and contribute to the bottom line.

Often this requires the worker to look at things from the boss’s perspective and recognize what the boss wants from workers. Also, workers need to be flexible, willing to change and eager to learn new techniques and skills.

Of course, I work with college students.

Over the years, I’ve discovered two misconceptions about college degrees. One is that a college degree will guarantee a person a job. While it is true that the unemployment rate today for a college graduate is about half that for a high school graduate (5 percent

Dr. Mike Walden You Decide Dr. Mike Walden is a N.C. Cooperative Extension economist

vs. 11 percent), both have doubled since the recession began. Indeed, nationwide there are over 2 million unemployed workers with a bachelor’s degree and 3 million jobless with an associate’s degree.

The other myth is that a college degree is required to get a job in today’s economy.

About half the jobs today require a high school degree or less, and projections from the U.S. Department of Labor say the same will be true 10 years from now. So a person will be able to obtain a job without a college education. It’s just that — on average — the job will pay much less. Jobs requiring a college degree pay almost twice as much.

My last message to today’s graduates is: be excited! There’s no question our economy faces challenges, and in many ways it’s harder to work and succeed today than in previous decades. But there is an upside. In the past, the aftermath — the period after an economic downturn — has often been associated with major inventions, new industries and unpredictable opportunities. Many futurists think we’re on the cusp of another such economic rebirth. It’s easiest to see advances in technology, but there may be entirely new enterprises opened up in fields like nutrition, health care and medicine, transportation, energy and — yes — even manufacturing.

And if there’s one thing that today’s young people have going for them that earlier generations maybe didn’t, it’s their willingness to try new things. Today’s high school and college graduates have probably been exposed to more change than any generation in history. Since more change is to come — and to come more rapidly — new workers may be better prepared than older generations to cope with and even embrace what’s ahead.

So with their flexibility and openness, it can be argued that today’s graduates are the perfect ones to be left with an uncertain future. I’m hopeful those of us who are much older will be around to decide!

Today’s Prayer For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power. (2 Timothy 1:7) PRAYER: We thank You, Father, for loving us, even when we sin. Amen.

To the Editor: We owe many thanks to the Disabled American Veterans and the town of Broadway for inviting Congressman Bob Etheridge to the 2010 Memorial Day ceremony held at the North Carolina Veterans Memorial.

We are blessed to have historically challenged Americans infesting Washington and the House of Representatives as Congressman Etheridge’s remarks were more attune to a campaign speech for Veterans Day (Nov. 11) than it was on this solemn day of remembrance of our war dead.

Perhaps he should have spoken at an event in Chicago, as everyone knows that there, the dead vote.

As always, I shall remain in search of our God-given liberties.

Are all the presidents ‘embarrassments’?

To the Editor: In Saturdays paper, Mr. Mike Neal declared President Obama to be the “Embarrassment-in-Chief” because he was to celebrate Memorial Day at a military cemetery other than Arlington Cemetery.

I would like to ask Mr. Neal if he had those same feelings — was he also offended — when then President George W. Bush celebrated Memorial Day in 2002 in Normandy or when his father celebrated Memorial Day in Kennebunkport, Maine in 1992, or when then President Reagan attended a meeting in Williamsburg, Va., in 1983.

President Reagan didn’t even send his vice president.

He sent a deputy secretary of defense.

Were all those Republican presidents “embarrassments-in chief” also, or is that designation only reserved for Democratic presidents?

FORT BRAGG (AP) — The U.S. Army Special Forces Command remembered 18 Special Forces soldiers lost in combat last year.

The 42nd annual Special Forces Memorial Day ceremony was held Monday at the Army Special Operations Forces Plaza.

Maj. Gen. Michael S. Repass memorialized the 18 Special Forces Soldiers who were killed in action and 90 Special Forces Association members who have died during the past year. “These men were the best, the first, the strongest, the fastest, the most adventurous and yes, the craziest. They were successful before they ever joined our ranks. You can only conclude that their small town upbringing, tight communities, and families that supported the soldier were responsible for much of their success once they became a Special Forces operator,�

Repass said.

The general also praised the soldiers’ widows because “they confront dark days every day and somehow they keep it together and move forward.�

Repass commands about 10,000 soldiers in the Army’s five active-duty groups and two National Guard groups.

After the speech, Repass placed a wreath near the Special Forces Memorial statue with Ronnie McCan, president of the Special Forces Association. “We do this to make sure we honor all those who have served, from the Viet Nam War to the Cold War and our soldiers lost in the current wars,� McCan said.

One of a few dozen bikers who joined a Memorial Day ride through Central North Carolina Monday bows his head as Congressman Bob Etheridge speaks at the Memorial Day service in Broadway Monday.

remembering the fallen soldiers he served with in Vietnam.

“I lost a lot of friends,” Miller said. “Many of them are on the (Vietnam Memorial) wall in Washington.”

In his speech, Etheridge, one of the few veterans currently serving in Congress, discussed the tough times many soldiers face when they return home, and he was met with applause as he shared a 2010 Budget Resolution he co-authored to make veterans a top priority.

The resolution, he said, seeks to improve health

care for more than 5 million veterans by providing increased access to doctors and nurses. It also includes expanded mental health treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and traumatic brain injury.

“When they return home, we will never leave a veteran behind,” Etheridge said.

He said his primary goal is to provide for veterans in rural regions because so many veterans come from those areas.

“That’s why you see this great memorial here in North Carolina,” Etheridge said.

He also emphasized the importance of recognizing current veterans and remembering soldiers whose lives were lost in combat.

“Those in uniforms past and present are the defenders of the values that keep us free,” Etheridge said.

Following Etheridge’s speech, the crowd stood and military personnel saluted as a trumpeter played “Taps.” The ceremony concluded with a presentation of red, white and blue floral wreaths.

J.J. Cuff, also of the Marine Corps League of Sanford, said while it’s important to recognize veterans, on Memorial Day people should pay tribute to those who lost their lives.

“I think sometimes we lose sight of that,” Cuff said. “This is Memorial Day. We’ve got to remember those people.”

such as the best places to eat or where to find a good discount.

“We try to give people an idea of what they could do for $10 or $20,” Miller said. “It gives them a good idea of how to have a good time in our area.”

Police: Man offered vet services without license RALEIGH (MCT) — Michael Johnson told a Wake County magistrate this afternoon that he thought selling veterinary medications on Craigslist was a nice way to “make a couple of dollars.”

Police have charged Johnson with two misdemeanor counts of unauthorized practice of veterinary medicine, according to court records made public today.

“I saw other people doing it on Craigslist. I did it too,” Johnson told the magistrate. “I didn’t know it was a law against that.”

The magistrate told Johnson that the other people probably have a medical license.

Problem is, Johnson, 30, of 8730 Fidelity Blvd., Raleigh, does not have a license from the state’s veterinary medical board.

Investigators with the state’s veterinary medical board have accused Johnson of offering to vaccinate a dog that did not belong to him.

Authorities also have accused Johnson of offering to deworm a dog that did not belong to him, court records show.

involved in things if you don’t know what’s going on,” Worley said.

The site currently focuses on parents, but Miller said it will eventually expand to other demographics.

“We’ve talked about doing a SocialSanford play date for working parents, or sponsoring an event of some kind, just doing anything that brings our connections and our network together so people really are engaging with each other,” Miller said.

Worley moved to Sanford from Tennessee, and while Miller was born in Sanford, she moved and came back to find many things had changed.

Miller and Worley met through blogging and found they shared a mutual frustration about not knowing what was going on in the area.

“There just wasn’t a place that you could go to and find out what’s happening in a 30-mile radius,” Miller said.

They launched SocialSanford in February and have since attracted more than 300 fans on Facebook. Worley said the site has taken off since they added Facebook and Twitter pages because more and more people are sending them ideas.

In the future, they hope the site will grow as a community gathering place that may expand to include Harnett and Moore counties, Miller said.

Especially since launching the social networking aspects of SocialSanford, Miller and Worley said they have only received positive feedback about the site.

“Most of the people I know just think it’s really neat to have the information out there, giving people a chance to see what’s going on, seeing what resources we have in the community,” Worley said. “They’ve been appreciative of the information.”

STATE BRIEFS

McCrory working to remain visible in state politics

By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — Pat McCrory’s calendar seems penciled with listings for someone ready for a rematch with Gov. Beverly Perdue.

McCrory, who stepped down as Charlotte mayor after 16 years last fall, has become a popular speaker statewide on the Republican Party’s chicken dinner circuit, headlining many GOP fundraisers. He’s been a frequent visitor on local and even national television political roundtables after narrowly losing to Perdue in November 2008.

Now he has started a political action committee to raise money for legislative candidates and highlight issues he promoted in the 2008 race, including transportation, criminal justice and getting rid of what he called “a culture of corruption� in state government. “North Carolina state government is in a mess,� the 53-year-old McCrory said in a video announcing his New Leadership PAC and identifying Democrats, including Perdue, whom he believes are part of the problem. “It’s time for new leadership in our state and it must start now in 2010.�

What about 2012? McCrory said in an interview he’s going to strongly consider a repeat gubernatorial bid. A longtime observer of his political career is more certain. “He’s going to run for

governor,� said Ted Arrington, a political science professor at University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Arrington said it’s a challenge for McCrory to keep his name in front of the general public now that he’s the ex-mayor. He also needs to avoid negative publicity that could harm him politically while satisfying both the business community that backed him for years and the new tea party movement to avoid a bruising GOP primary. “I think he’s still popular, but he’s just disappeared from everything,�

Arrington said. “He’s behind the scenes. He’s working the party leaders.�

McCrory almost became just the third Republican since 1901 to move to the Executive Mansion in Raleigh when he lost to Perdue by 3 percentage points in the closest governor’s race in 36 years. A month later, he announced he wouldn’t seek an eighth two-year term as mayor in 2009.

Since leaving the mayor’s post, McCrory joined a Charlotte law firm as a public policy consultant in addition to working with his brother’s business and boosted his outside political involvement. He kicked off the New Leadership PAC this spring with a mass fundraising letter. The PAC’s treasurer is Jack Hawke, McCrory’s chief political consultant in the 2008 campaign.

A political action committee is a common tool for someone interested in running for federal office such as president.

John Edwards had one, as does current Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. But it’s unusual for someone seeking a North Carolina state government office.

McCrory said he plans to use social networking, electronic town hall meetings and other technology to communicate with supporters about candidates and issues. He said President Obama’s use of technology during the 2008 campaign played a role in helping Perdue win by energizing Democrats to vote. “I felt the impact first hand in my race, and I want to help other candidates not be behind the 8-ball in that area,�

McCrory said.

The political committee collected nearly $25,000 by mid-April.

Retired accountant Ken Collins of Monroe gave $100 to McCrory’s new venture because he said the ex-mayor “seems to be a guy that can get along across political lines. You can’t say that about everybody.�

State Democratic Party executive director Andrew Whalen said the exmayor’s New Leadership PAC “seems to be nothing more than an attempt to repackage those same failed ideas from his failed gubernatorial campaign.�

McCrory also went on the defensive in February when the campaign

committee acknowledged it failed to report two helicopter flights in the waning days of his 2008 bid. Perdue and former Gov. Mike Easley have taken heat for dozens of flight disclosures over the past year. The Democratic Party made one of those flights the centerpiece of a news conference.

The PAC is not the only effort by McCrory to stay on the political radar screen. During his last year as mayor, McCrory was asked to speak to large crowds in person and on the air about his concerns with the federal stimulus package and President Obama’s health care overhaul.

McCrory was the only speaker to get a standing ovation from more than 1,000 conservative and tea party supporters meeting last September in Raleigh to hear Obama’s address on health care to a joint session of Congress. Helping social and fiscal conservative feel comfortable with McCrory could help him win over the Republican base and avoid a tough primary in 2012.

Arrington said McCrory’s strategy to attempt to remain salient after his failed gubernatorial shows he’s not the same guy who won a Charlotte city council seat as a relative political unknown in 1989. “He started out in politics a very naive fellow,� Arrington said. “He’s learned a lot.�

HURRICANE SEASON BEGINS TODAY

Hurricane lull has some in southeast worried

WILMINGTON (AP) — Fourteen years after Hurricane Fran ripped through southeastern North Carolina, emergency officials say buildings and homes in the region are better prepared for the next big storm. But they aren’t as sure about the residents.

Hurricane season began Monday, and after dealing with four hurricanes in three years in the late 1990s, the area around Wilmington hasn’t been struck directly since 1999.

The past decade has seen another growth spurt in coastal communities like Carolina Beach and Topsail Island, the StarNews of Wilmington reports.

But the new growth has come with stricter building codes. Rules requiring deeper pilings for elevated coastal buildings appeared to be a success when Hurricane Fran came ashore with 115 mph winds in 1996. Newer homes built within a quarter-mile of the ocean also have to have storm shutters for windows and doors, said Spencer Rogers, a coastal engineering expert with N.C. Sea Grant.

However, the beach at Topsail Island has changed quite a bit since Fran. No large-scale beach nourishment work has been done recently, leaving many structures along the ocean on the edge of the escarpment, and

on the north end of the island, there are no dunes or escarpment at all.

The passage of time also has dulled memories of Fran and other storms.

Surveys conducted in the region several years ago showed residents overestimated the chances of being struck by a hurricane and underestimated the damage a storm can do, said Chris Dumas, an environmental economist with the University of North Carolina Wilmington.

One reason could be while the rains from a hurricane often drench a wide area, only a narrow patch of land north and east of the hurricane’s center go through the worst winds and storm

surge. “They think they’d experienced something that they actually hadn’t experienced,� Dumas said.

Rickey Smith has been dealing with storms on Topsail Island for 25 years, first as police chief and now as the interim town manager. He tells anyone he can to take any hurricane seriously, but worries the longer things stay quiet, the more he gets ignored. “After we had one bad storm, we had no problems with evacuations for the next three or four storms,� Smith said. “But we know that won’t be the case next time because we haven’t had one for a long time, and people just don’t know what they can do.�

Publisher steps down, turns paper over to son GOLDSBORO (AP) — An eastern North Carolina newspaper publisher is retiring and turning the publication over to his son.

The Goldsboro NewsArgus announced that Hal Tanner Jr. will step down Tuesday after 26 years running the newspaper.

His son will take over. Hal Tanner III is currently the paper’s general manager.

Tanner Jr. will continue to work as a consultant and adviser to the newspaper.

The elder Tanner started his career as a reporter at the News-Argus in 1962.

He worked at newspapers in Tennessee, Louisiana and Texas and with United Press International before becoming publisher in Goldsboro in 1984.

Tanner III has been general manager of the News-Argus for 10 years.

He started his career in South Carolina with The Greenville News-Piedmont in the paper’s management training program.

Woman killed on side of road as her son watches WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Police say a man fatally attacked a woman on the side of a North Carolina road while their 6-year-old son watched.

Davidson County Sheriff David Grice told multiple media outlets that 54-yearold Beresford Campbell was arrested shortly after the attack Sunday morning.

Grice says 48-year-old Beverly Wiley was found lying just off the road, bleeding from several wounds.

The sheriff says an offduty police officer managed to take Campbell into custody and give first aid to Wiley.

Grice says the couple had a son who was in the car when his mother was attacked, but he was not injured.

It wasn’t immediately clear in Campbell had an attorney.

3 killed when car runs off road in mountains MORGANTON (AP) — Three people have died after a driver lost control of his car, running off a mountainous North Carolina road and slamming into a tree.

State troopers told The Charlotte Observer that the wreck happened about 7 p.m. Sunday on Brown Mountain Beach Road about 12 miles northwest of Morganton.

Authorities say 23-year-old James Nutt of Morganton lost control of the Nissan Altima on the winding road.

The vehicle went down an

embankment, then went airborne for more than 40 feet before hitting the ground and striking the tree.

Nutt died in the wreck along with 20-year-old Kristen Olson of Cornelius and 21-year-old Christopher Gallino of Concord.

A fourth person in the car was seriously injured.

Father, son drown in lake after saving girl

MILL SPRING (AP) — Rescuers say a father and son drowned in a North Carolina lake after they jumped in and saved a young child from drowning.

Multiple media outlets report the men were on a boat Sunday afternoon on Lake Adger when the girl fell in the water.

Authorities say the father and his adult son jumped in and rescued the girl, but the pair couldn’t make it out of the water for reasons they haven’t figured out.

The names of the two men have not been released.

Man dies after falling 50 feet over waterfall LINVILLE (AP) — Authorities say a Wake County man has died after he fell over the Elk River Falls in the North Carolina mountains.

Avery County officials told The Asheville CitizenTimes that witnesses saw 41-year-old Andrew Shelley looking over the top of the falls before he fell 50 feet Saturday afternoon.

Authorities say Shelley was in the mountains on vacation.

Officials say at least a dozen people have died at waterfalls in western North Carolina since 2001.

Art museum in that had big plans now closing

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — The Fayetteville Museum of Art’s ambitious plans to build a nine-story, $15 million home designed by a world-renowned architect have fallen apart in three years.

The Fayetteville Observer reports the museum’s last day will be Monday. It is closing its doors because of money problems.

The reasons for the change in its fate include the museum’s bookkeeping and funding cuts. The museum’s board of trustees voted earlier this month to shut down rather than accumulate more debt.

Museum executive director Tom Grubb says the closing is a sign that the arts aren’t healthy in Fayetteville.

Summer art classes that were nearly full also have been canceled, along with children’s programs.

8A / Tuesday, June 1, 2010 / The Sanford Herald GULF OIL SPILL

NATION BRIEFS

Relief 2 months away with another well

NEW ORLEANS — The best hope for stopping the flow of oil from the blown-out well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico has been compared to hitting a target the size of a dinner plate more than two miles into the earth, and is anything but a sure bet on the first attempt.

Bid after bid has failed to staunch what has already become the nation’s worst-ever spill, and BP PLC is readying another attempt as early as Wednesday, this one a cut-and-cap process to put a lid on the leaking wellhead so oil can be siphoned to the surface.

But the best-case scenario of sealing the leak is two relief wells being drilled diagonally into the gushing well — tricky business that won’t be ready until August. “The probability of them hitting it on the very first shot is virtually nil,� said David Rensink, incoming president of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, who spent most of his 39 years in the oil industry in offshore exploration. “If they get it on the first three or four shots they’d be very lucky.�

For the bid to succeed, the bore hole must precisely intersect the damaged well. If it misses, BP will have to back up its drill, plug the hole it just created, and try again.

The trial-and-error process could take weeks, but it will eventually work, scientists and BP said.

As the drilling reaches deeper into the earth, the process is slowed by building pressure and the increasing distance that well casings must travel before they can be set in place.

Still, the three months it could take to finish the relief wells — the first of which started May 2 — is quicker than a typical deep well, which can take four months or longer, said Tad Patzek, chair of the Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering Department at the University of Texas-Austin. BP already has a good picture of the different layers of sand and rock its drill bits will meet because of the work it did on the blownout well.

On the slim chance the relief well doesn’t work, scientists weren’t sure exactly how much — or how long — the oil would flow.

The gusher would continue until the well bore

hole collapsed or pressure in the reservoir dropped to a point where oil was no longer pushed to the surface, Patzek said. “I don’t admit the possibility of it not working,� he said.

A third well could be drilled if the first two fail. “We don’t know how much oil is down there, and hopefully we’ll never know when the relief wells work,� BP spokesman John Curry said.

The company was starting to collect and analyze data on how much oil might be in the reservoir when the rig exploded April 20, he said.

BP’s uncertainty statement is reasonable, given they only had drilled one well, according to Doug Rader, an ocean scientist with the Environmental Defense Fund.

Two relief wells stopped the world’s worst peacetime spill, from a Mexican rig called Ixtoc 1 that dumped 140 million gallons off the Yucatan Peninsula. That plug took

nearly 10 months beginning in the summer of 1979. Drilling technology has vastly improved since then, however.

So far, the Gulf oil spill has leaked between 19.7 million and 43 million gallons, according to government estimates.

In the meantime, BP is turning to another risky procedure federal officials acknowledge will likely, at least temporarily, cause 20 percent more oil — at least 100,000 gallons a day — to add to the gusher.

Using robot submarines, BP plans to cut away the riser pipe this week and place a cap-like containment valve over the blowout preventer.

The company hopes it will capture the majority of the oil, sending it to the surface. “If you’ve got to cut that riser, that’s risky. You could take a bad situation and make it worse,� said Ed Overton, a Louisiana State University professor of environmental sciences.

The latest attempt to capture the well comes after BP failed to plug the leak Saturday with its top kill, which shot mud and pieces of rubber into the well but couldn’t beat back the pressure of the oil.

The location of the spill couldn’t be worse.

To the south lies an essential spawning ground for imperiled Atlantic bluefin tuna and sperm whales. To the east and west, coral reefs and the coastal fisheries of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas. And to the north, Louisiana’s coastal marshes.

More than 125 miles of Louisiana coastline already have been hit with oil. “It’s just killing us by degrees,� said Tulane University ecologist Tom Sherry.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge warned jurors in a death penalty trial 41 times not to discuss the case with anyone, not even each other, until they were sent off to deliberate on a verdict.

That didn’t stop Cynthia Wilson, the jury foreman, from calling five news organizations and placing 71 other telephone calls to two fellow jurors.

U.S. District Judge Joseph F. Anderson Jr. of South Carolina found Wilson’s behavior so outrageous that he held her in contempt of court, ordering her to return $2,500 of her juror’s pay and perform 120 hours of community service. Anderson said he would have put Wilson in jail for six months if she did not have four children at home.

But when the defendant in the case, Brandon Basham, asked for his death sentence to be thrown out as a result of Wilson’s conduct, Anderson refused and the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., backed him up.

And when Basham took his plea to the Supreme Court, Solicitor General Elena Kagan agreed that the judge had made the correct call. The high court, to which Kagan has since been nominated, could say as early as Tuesday whether it will hear Basham’s case.

Other passengers on Aeromexico Flight 006 from Charles De Gaulle Airport to Mexico City International Airport were re-screened and allowed to re-board the flight, Gaches said.

Mullen wishes Congress had waited on gay ban WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Sunday he would have preferred that Congress had waited before voting to repeal the “don’t ask, don’t tell� law that bans gays from serving openly in the military.

Adm. Mike Mullen did not directly criticize a House vote on Friday that marked a step toward repealing the ban. But he said it would have been better for lawmakers to wait until the Pentagon completed its review of how to make the repeal work. That study, due in December, is based on a current survey of troops and their families. “Ideally, I would certainly have preferred that legislation not be brought forward in terms of the change until we are completed with that review,� Mullen said.

The legislation, he noted, gives the Pentagon until year’s end to finish its study and stipulates that he and Defense Secretary Robert Gates and President Barack Obama must certify that the military is prepared to make the change before the repeal takes effect.

There is worry among some in the military and in Congress that the House vote short-circuited the process of consulting with troops and their families. “It is really critical to understand the points of view of those it will affect the most as we look at the implementation challenges, should the law change,� said Mullen, who favors lifting the ban. “So we will complete that review and certainly incorporate what we learned from that into implementation when that time comes.�

A senior defense official on Friday said troops with concerns about the repeal are less willing to speak freely because the vote makes the outcome clear. The official, who is knowledgeable about the troop consultations, spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the Pentagon response.

EA brings NHL game to Nintendo Wii

By MICHAEL FELBERBAUM AP Business Writer

Wayne Gretzky admits it: The Great One is just an average hockey player.

Well, not really. Only when it comes to EA Sports’ National Hockey League franchise coming to the Nintendo Wii in September, just in time for the start of the next season. “I’d be what would be considered a 10 goal scorer if I was comparing this to the NHL,� the Hockey Hall of Fame player joked in an interview with The Associated Press.

And that’s not too good considering that during his 21 years in the NHL Gretzky accumulated a long list of accomplishments and awards and is the only player to have ever recorded 200 points in a season.

Gretzky is also one of the first hockey players to have his name associated with a video game. He is teaming up with EA as it skates into its first version of its NHL for the Wii with “NHL Slapshot.�

For sports fans who grew up dreaming of being Gretzky, this is their chance — hockey stick and all.

Producers of the franchise say “NHL Slapshot� will capitalize on some of the best features from its top-selling PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 teammates,

AP photo

In this video game image released by EA Sports, a scene featuring a likeness of hockey great Wayne Gretzky is shown in “NHL Slapshot.� but takes the game even further by using a hockey stick as the controller. “It’s one of the those games that you could sit down and you’ll be able to play for hours. It’s very realistic ... it’s almost like playing in the NHL,�

Gretzky said. “People as much as they love to sit down and play video games, they also love to sort of participate and pretend like they’re actually playing.�

Gretzky said video games have come a long way since he graced the cover of Nintendo’s “Wayne Gretzky Hockey� in 1991. Certainly the graphics are better, the game is more realistic and players have more control over their simulated counterparts on the TV screen. “It’s like the game of hockey itself, the game keeps getting better every

10 years,� Gretzky said. “There’s no question the game is better today, which is exciting for everyone.�

For the controller, players fit the Wii Remote and Nunchuk into a hockey stick casing complete with a foam stick blade. Players use the hockey stick to take shots on net, move around players and check opponents into the boards or lift another player’s stick. Players also have the ability to play as the goalie using the Wii controllers as the glove and blocker. “It’s just such a natural extension to use the Wii with the motion controls to make a hockey stick,� said David Littman, creative director for EA’s NHL franchise, who took one of his most expensive hockey sticks, cut it up and duct-taped the controllers to the stick to make a

prototype. “It doesn’t matter if you’re 6 years old or 60 years old, when you look at the stick and you put it in your hands, and you take your first slapshot, it doesn’t matter what age you are, it just is this incredible experience.�

Among the highlights are the split-screen and minigames, as well as the “Pee Wee to Pro� mode that lets users create a 10-year-old version of themselves playing on a backyard rink and work their way up to the NHL. Players can also choose to play as a “peewee� version of Gretzky and some of hockey’s other great stars.

Gretzky also serves as a coach in the “Pee Wee to Pro� mode giving players tips to get to the NHL. “If you are somebody that has loved hockey ...

Wayne’s pretty much as big as it gets,� said lead producer Joe Nickolls.

And with the new title, EA is again facing off against one of its main opponents, so to speak.

EA’s NHL series is among the top five-selling sports games in the world.

For years, both EA and 2K Sports created competing NHL franchises for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Then 2K Sports decided to focus its NHL efforts for 2011 on the Wii, ditching versions for the other consoles at least for the year.

Celine Dion pregnant again at last — with twins LOS ANGELES (AP) — Celine Dion’s struggle to have one more baby has more than paid off. She’s pregnant with two.

Publicist Kim Jakwerth told The Associated Press in an e-mail Dion Sunday that the 42-yearold Canadian songstress is 14 weeks pregnant with twins, and she plans to find out the sex of the babies next month.

Dion and her husband and manager Rene Angelil have one son, 9-year-old Rene Charles.

She had undergone several rounds of in-vitro fertilization in an attempt to get pregnant again.

The pregnancy was first reported by People Magazine.

Dion is working on new albums in English and French, and returns next year to Las Vegas for a three-year residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

More than 1,200 fans commemorated Dio inside Forest Lawn Memorial Park’s Hall of Liberty. Hundreds more gathered in the scorching heat outside the auditorium to watch monitors of the proceedings, which featured performances from some of Dio’s rocker friends, Dio including Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple, Geoff Tate of Queensryche and Paul Shortino of Quiet Riot. “He touched all of us with his music and his message and his magic,� said David Feinstein, Dio’s cousin and Elf bandmate. “I know that Ronnie truly loved all of you.

He had a great appreciation for your loyalty. I’m talking about all you out there, all the fans.�

Those gathered remembered the feisty vocalist from such bands as Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and the self-titled Dio as a passionate performer who was gracious on and off stage.

Director quits ‘Hobbit’ film over production delay

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Hollywood director Guillermo del Toro said Monday that production delays have forced him to quit the planned film version of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit,� a two-part prequel to New Zealand filmmaker Peter Jackson’s blockbuster trilogy “Lord of the Rings.� “In light of ongoing delays in the setting of a start date for filming The Hobbit, I am faced with the hardest decision of my life,� del Toro told a “Lord of the Rings� fan website. “After nearly two years of living, breathing and designing a world as rich as Tolkien’s Middle Earth, I must, with great regret, take leave from helming these wonderful pictures,� he said, noting the film still hadn’t been given the green light

by MGM, the struggling Hollywood studio.

Matt Dravitzki, a spokesman for “Hobbit� producer and “Lord Of The Rings� director Jackson, said del Toro would not be speaking to reporters Monday.

The announcement by del Toro reflected Jackson and del Toro’s “full sentiments at this time,� he said.

Del Toro would continue to co-write the screenplays with Jackson and his wife, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens.

Jackson reached a deal in late 2007 to make two films of “The Hobbit.� He is serving as joint executive producer with Walsh.

Obama talk rained out; Biden speaks

ELWOOD, Ill. (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden hailed America’s fighting men and women Monday as the “spine of this nation,” while President Barack Obama’s Land of Lincoln tribute in Illinois got washed out by a severe thunderstorm and high winds.

The president was expected to deliver the speech Monday evening after he lands at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington.

Biden made the more traditional appearance at Arlington National Cemetery on Obama’s behalf, saying the country has “a sacred obligation” to make sure its servicemen and women are the best equipped and best-supported troops in the world.

“As a nation, we pause to remember them,” Biden said. “They gave their lives fulfilling their oath to this nation and to us.”

Obama had readied a similar message of gratitude for his appearance at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Illinois, and actually had taken the podium to give the address when the skies opened up with a quintessentially midwestern late-spring downpour — thunder, lightning and high winds.

President Barack Obama takes the stage in a driving rain storm to encourage the crowd to go to their cars for safety during Memorial Day ceremonies at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, Ill. Monday.

Under the cover of a large umbrella, he told thousands gathered before him that “a little bit of rain doesn’t hurt anybody, but we don’t want anybody being struck by lightning.” He asked people to return to their cars for their safety, and he retreated briefly to an administration building on the cemetery’s grounds. A few minutes later Obama boarded a pair of buses to greet military families that came for the event.

Within the hour, reporters who accompanied Obama to the cemetery in Elwood, Ill., were told the speech had been called off. The White House had released cop-

ies of Obama’s prepared remarks in advance of his talk, but they were pulled back when the event had to be canceled.

Before the storm hit, and in advance of his appearance at the podium, Obama had visited a section of headstones where two Marines awaited him.

After laying a wreath, he bowed his head in a moment of silence, his hands tightly clasped. Then a lone bugler played Taps.

After leaving the cemetery, Obama met privately with families of veterans and service members currently living at the Fisher House in Hines, Ill. It serves as a home away from home for family members whose loved ones are getting treatment at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Hines, which is about 12 miles west of downtown Chicago.

At Arlington, Biden carried out the traditional wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknowns under a brilliant sunshine.

The vice president, accompanied by Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of

the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the country’s service members are “the heart and soul and, I would, say spine of this nation.” He said taking part in the annual ceremony was “the greatest honor of my public life.”

Obama’s decision to appear in Illinois, rather than at the national burial grounds at Arlington, had been controversial, and some veterans groups criticized him for it, although he was not the first president to bypass the annual outing.

Paul Rieckhoff, founder and executive director of the group Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, said Arlington is the focal point of the nation’s and military’s attention on Memorial Day. “When he’s not here, it doesn’t look like he’s on the same page,” Rieckhoff said.

Rieckhoff said U.S. service men and women need Obama to use the bully pulpit to remind people that the holiday is not about going to the beach or barbecuing.

“We think that he has an obligation to really bridge the divide between the military and the rest of the population.”

“We appreciate that the vice president is going to be here, but it’s not the same,” Rieckhoff said.

Jay Agg, a spokesman for the veterans group AMVETS, said the annual ceremony at Arlington is “the ideal place for the president to observe Memorial Day. However, his choice to honor our fallen at another national cemetery as other presidents have done is entirely appropriate.”

Bloody Israeli raid on flotilla sparks crisis JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli commandos rappelled down to an aid flotilla sailing to thwart a Gaza blockade on Monday, clashing with pro-Palestinian activists on the lead ship in a botched raid that left at least nine passengers dead.

Bloodied passengers sprawled on the deck and troops dived into the sea to save themselves during several hours of hand-tohand fighting that injured dozens of activists and six soldiers. Hundreds of activists were towed from the international waters to Israeli detention centers and hospitals.

International condemnation was swift and harsh as Israel scrambled to explain how what was meant to be a simple takeover of a civilian vessel went so badly awry.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu abruptly canceled a planned meeting with President Barack Obama in Washington to rush home. The global reaction appeared likely to increase pressure to end the embargo that has plunged Gaza’s 1.5 million residents deeper into poverty.

Tropical Storm Agatha kills 142 in Central America GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Flooding and landslides from the season’s first tropical storm have killed at least 142 people and left thousands homeless in Central America, officials said Monday.

Dozens of people are still missing and emergency crews are struggling to reach isolated communities

cut off by washed-out roads and collapsed bridges caused by Tropical Storm Agatha.

The sun emerged Monday in hardest-hit Guatemala, where officials reported 118 dead and 53 missing.

In the department of Chimaltenango — a province west of Guatemala City — landslides buried dozens of rural Indian communities and killed at least 60 people, Gov. Erick de Leon said.

In the tiny village of Parajbei, a slide smothered three homes and killed 11 people.

In all some 110,000 people were evacuated in Guatemala.

Gunmen attack hospital in Pakistan, kill 8 people

LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — At least two gunmen disguised in police uniforms attacked a hospital in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore late Monday, killing eight people in a failed attempt to free a captured militant being treated there, officials said.

The gunmen managed to escape but left without securing the release of the militant, who was part of a group of gunmen who attacked a minority sect in Lahore on Friday and killed 93 people, said Rana Sanaullah, the law minister of Punjab province, where Lahore is the capital.

The gunmen stormed Jinnah Hospital in a hail of gunfire shortly before midnight Monday and briefly took several patients hostage, Sanaullah said.

One of the gunmen climbed up on the roof to shoot at police who surrounded the building, he said.

Five of the eight people killed in the attack were policemen, Sanaullah said.

HENIN FALLS IN FRENCH OPEN’S ROUND OF 16 PARIS (AP) — Justine Henin kept saying it, even if no one was listening.

She’s not back to being the player she was before taking a 20-month hiatus from tennis.

She’s still searching for consistency on court. Too many “ups and downs,” to use her term.

Turns out Henin was right.

Betrayed down the stretch by her best stroke, the backhand, and by her usually steely nerves, the four-time French Open champion lost to No. 7-seeded Sam Stosur of Australia 2-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the fourth round Monday, ending Henin’s 24-match winning streak at her favorite tournament.

“Everyone wants to see me (at) the level that I was,” said Henin, who abruptly retired in May 2008 while ranked No. 1, then returned to the tour this season and reached the Australian Open final in January.

“I still have to work a lot, quite simply.”

golf hill skipping senior year to turn pro RALEIGH (AP) — Reigning NCAA golf champion Matt Hill is turning pro, skipping his final year at North Carolina State after missing a chance to defend his title.

Hill announced on Monday that he will make his pro debut this week at the PGA Tour’s Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village in Ohio.

The 21-year-old Hill was one of the top-ranked amateurs in the world last year. He won seven college tournaments besides the NCAA championship to earn the Haskins Award as outstanding college golfer.

This year the junior failed to advance out of the East Regional.

BASEBALL strasburg set for june 8 debut against pirates HOUSTON (AP) — The Washington Nationals say prized prospect Stephen Strasburg is scheduled to make his major league debut against Pittsburgh on June 8.

The 21-year-old right-hander is scheduled to start for Triple-A Syracuse at Buffalo on Thursday.

Strasburg, the No. 1 pick in last year’s draft, is 3-1 with a 1.27 ERA in five Triple-A starts.

In 10 minor league starts, including five at Double-A Harrisburg, he’s 6-2 with a 1.43 ERA. The former San Diego State star allowed three runs and six hits in five-plus innings against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday night.

Strasburg signed a record $15.1 million, four-year contract with the Nationals after he was selected with the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s draft.

SANFORD — Since taking over as the head coach of the Southern Lee basketball program, Gaston Collins has been adamant about getting out and serving the community.

To Collins and his Cavaliers, that includes making a difference in the lives of young people.

The Cavaliers recently made a trip to B.T. Bullock Elementary School for an “EOG Easy as Pie” pep rally to help encourage and motivate the young students to do well on their upcoming End of Grade tests.

The Cavaliers, who came on for about the last 30 minutes of the pep rally, engaged with students in basketball relays, drills and other fun games. The team also broke down into two separate teams and scrimmaged against each other during the final minutes of the pep rally.

“This time when we decided to do it, I wanted to get the kids more involved with my guys,” said Collins. “We had the students participate in relays and other games. Our kids also handed out posters, T-shirts, pencils and pom-poms to the female participants. I wanted our players to be more engaged with their students this time around.”

Some of the games and activities included a relay race where participants were randomly selected to put on oversized Cavalier basketball uniforms with size 16 shoes while dribbling a basketball and scoring a basket, shooting a basketball while blindfolded and the usual lay-up and free throw drills.

“We not only wanted to motivate them to do well on their tests, but we also wanted to leave

Duke beats Notre Dame to win 1st lacrosse title BALTIMORE (AP) — Duke won its first NCAA men’s lacrosse championship in dramatic fashion, defeating Notre Dame 6-5 Monday on a goal by C.J. Costabile with five seconds gone in sudden-death overtime.

Costabile won the faceoff from Trever Sipperly and sprinted downfield before beating standout goaltender Scott Rodgers with a shot from directly in front of the net.

The Blue Devils immediately rushed onto the field and created a massive pile of players, sticks and

helmets while celebrating the fastest goal to start an overtime in NCAA championship history.

Duke (16-4) twice before advanced to the title game — and lost by one goal both times. This time, however, they walked away with the championship trophy by defeating the unseeded Irish (10-7).

It was the lowest-scoring title game in history, yet what it lacked in offense it made up for in drama.

There were five ties, and neither team led by more than one goal.

The previous lowest-

scoring game was in 1982, when North Carolina beat Johns Hopkins 7-5.

Zach Brenneman scored three goals and Rodgers finished with 15 saves for the Irish, but he couldn’t stop the last shot that came his way. That ended a brilliant postseason run by Notre Dame, which defeated three seeded teams to advance to the title game for the first time.

The game was played cautiously by both sides, with defense and possession the priority. The teams set a championship-

game record for fewest combined goals through three quarters (eight) and tied the mark for fewest at halftime (five).

Notre Dame went up 5-4 with 11:56 by converting a rare fastbreak. David Earl picked up a loose ball and ran 30 yards before passing across the field to Sean Rogers, who pumped a shot past goaltender Dan Wigrizer.

Justin Turri scored for the Blue Devils with 8:44 left to tie the game for the last time.

Duke led 3-2 at halftime after scoring the lone goal of the second quarter.

Tough times help Franchitti savor Ganassi’s double INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Dario Franchitti thought he needed a new challenge after becoming the IndyCar series’ big winner in 2007.

Turns out he was wrong.

On Monday, the 37-year-old Scotsman savored the sweetest achievement on his comeback tour — winning his second Indy 500 and giving Chip Ganassi victories at Indy and the Daytona 500 in the same season. “You know it hasn’t really set in yet, it just doesn’t right away,�

Franchitti said. “I couldn’t quite believe it last night.�

By Monday morning, it should have felt real to anyone at Ganassi headquarters.

After the early wake-up call and sitting through a short, steady rain, Franchitti spent more than 60 minutes posing for photos with his crew, his team owner, his sponsors and his wife, Ashley Judd, in a yellow sun dress.

Only then was the signature moment finally captured: Ganassi tugging on the shoulders of Franchitti and Daytona winner Jamie McMurray as they stood next to their respective trophies on Indy’s famous yard of bricks.

The win makes Franchitti one of 17 drivers with two or more Indy titles — both victories finishing under caution.

And Sunday’s victory sent Franchitti past his racing idol, Scottish star Jim Clark, on Indy’s all-time victory list.

But to Franchitti, this quest was never about history or numbers. It was about vindication after an disastrous half-season

Indy crash to keep Hamilton from racing in Texas INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — IndyCar driver Davey Hamilton will not compete in Texas after de Ferran Dragon Racing decided to run just one of its damaged cars Saturday.

Hamilton was knocked out of Sunday’s Indianapolis 500 before completing a lap. He finished 33rd and blamed the driving tactics of South African Tomas Scheckter for the wreck.

The team’s other driver, Raphael Matos, also hit the wall after completing 72 laps.

experiment in NASCAR. “I always felt at home here, but I just got to a point where I felt I wanted something different,�

Franchitti said. “During that time, I just realized how much I missed IndyCars. It was kind of like ’Why did I leave?�’ It’s a question many continue to ask.

After winning the series title and the series’ biggest prize, Indy, in 2007 with Michael Andretti’s team, Franchitti followed Tony Stewart and Sam Hornish Jr. into stock cars.

Big mistake.

Franchitti started only 10 races for Ganassi’s NASCAR team in 2008, never finished higher than 22nd and saw the sponsorship money run out at midseason. That left Franchitti an unemployed, unsatisfied Cup driver who wasn’t ready to retire at 35 years old like he always planned.

Kurt Busch does a burnout after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series’ Coca-Cola 600 auto race at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord on Sunday.

Kurt and Kyle Busch taking charge of NASCAR

By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CONCORD — It’s not that common for siblings to reach the highest level of a professional sport, and when it happens, one of them typically toils in the shadow of the superstar.

That’s been the case the past five years in NASCAR, where the Busch Brothers were never in the same league.

Big brother Kurt hit his peak in 2004, when he won his only NASCAR championship, but his results were up-and-down after that banner season. Then along came Kyle, seven years his junior and a headline maker from the very beginning.

When Kyle raised his game in 2008 to become a title contender, Kurt was off the pace and searching for

solutions. When Kurt turned it around and climbed back into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship last year, Kyle was in a slump that led to the late-season firing of his crew chief.

After five years competing against each other in NASCAR’s elite division, the early hopes of a bitter championship battle between brothers had faded.

My, how things have changed.

The Busch Brothers are finally running at the same level, setting up a potential sizzling showdown over the upcoming long summer stretch of racing.

Kurt Busch completed a two-week sweep of Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday night, closing out the first win for team owner Roger Penske in the prestigious Coca-Cola 600 eight

days after claiming the $1 million prize in the annual All-Star race.

Kyle Busch, meanwhile, won the Nationwide and Trucks Series races at CMS over the last two weeks, plus the Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series races at Dover earlier in May. All told, the Busch Brothers have won the last six races spanning NASCAR’s top three series. The lone NASCAR celebration not by a Busch was Martin Truex Jr.’s victory in the Sprint Showdown, an All-Star race qualifier without either brother. “That’s kind of cool,�

Kyle Busch said of the family domination.

Indeed it is, particularly considering how combustible these two drivers are — particularly when racing each other.

ATLANTA (AP) — Chipper Jones and Troy Glaus homered to back a strong start by Tommy Hanson and help the Atlanta Braves move into first place in the National League East with a 9-3 victory Monday over the slumping Philadelphia Phillies.

The Braves, winners of six straight, are one-half game ahead of Philadelphia, which has dropped two straight and nine of 13.

Rockies 4, Giants 0 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Ubaldo Jimenez pitched a four-hitter to become the majors’ first 10-game winner this year, outpitching Tim Lincecum to lead Colorado past the Giants 4-0.

Marlins 13, Brewers 5 MIAMI (AP) — Cody Ross hit a three-run homer to spark Florida’s biggest inning this year, Cameron Maybin hit an inside-thepark home run to help turn the game into a runaway and the Marlins erased an early four-run deficit in beating Milwaukee 13-5.

Pirates 2, Cubs 1 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pinch-hitter Bobby Crosby singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, Garrett Jones homered and the Pittsburgh Pirates ended a five-game losing streak.

The Pirates were coming off a 1-6 road trip and had lost nine of 11, only to beat the Cubs for the eighth time in nine meetings dating to the final week of last season.

Impossible to sit, stand, walk...

It was all I could do to get in my car to get to the doctor’s office. During my first exam, my range of motion was VERY limited! It was almost impossible to sit, stand, walk or even breathe!

After examining my x-rays, we started treatment.

After a mild adjustment on my neck, by that afternoon, I could see improvement. The next few days, my pain decreased drastically! As each visit passed, my pain was less and less. I truly believe in chiropractic care and would recommend it to anyone suffering from back pain as I did.

Thanks Dr. Ammons & Dr. Silvester!

them with something,” said Collins.

Before the Cavaliers showed up on the court to conclude the pep rally, Bullock students were randomly chosen and given the chance to throw a pie, which they called an “EOG Pie” on Principal Pamela Sutton and Assistant Principal John Cleetwood.

“The students all seemed like they had a good time,” said Collins. “They did some fun things as a school like throwing pies at the principals and some teachers dressed up in costumes. It was just a fun atmosphere.”

As far as his program, which has done

back to their first state championship since 2001, Clark was still fairly pleased with his performance on the mound.

“I thought I pitched pretty well,” said Clark.

“All season long, our team has shown that if we hit well, we win. We showed that in the second game. In the third game, Laney got the big hits and they won. But I’m still pretty pleased with how I threw.”

Prior to his Game 2 save and Game 3 start, the last time Clark was on the mound for Lee County was in the third round when he came in to relieve lefty Nick Durazo in the seventh inning against Broughton.

this pep rally at B.T. Bullock before and has also donated Christmas presents to a child in need over the holidays along with other community service activities, Collins says that his players really enjoyed reaching out to the younger students.

“Our kids really enjoyed it,” said Collins.

“Afterward, everyone was smiling. It’s always a good time when we’re able to go out as a program and do something like that.”

Collins hopes that the Cavaliers can do things like this every year at all the local elementary schools in Sanford.

“I would love to go all over the county promoting education with my team,” said Collins.

“To me, it’s a way to give

back and allow the others to see the players in a different light.”

When Collins was interviewed for the job, he was asked what success means to him.

He responded by saying that success is about the type of people the players in his program become off the court when they are done at Southern Lee. “Putting a smile on someone’s face is very important to me,” said Collins. “The wins and losses and the X’s and O’s are great on the court. Off the court, though, I want all of our players that come through this program to become productive members of society.

Doing something like this is just the first step in helping them accomplish that.”

Clark, who made his third appearance on the hill in the postseason and his first start in the most critical game of the season, made a gameplan for himself prior to the opening pitch of Game 3.

“I wanted to just shut them down and get groundballs,” said Clark. “The guys behind me had been making plays all day and I knew they’d protect me and help me get out of jams if I could just force them to hit groundballs.”

His teammates sure did make big plays in those first four innings leaving Laney with runners in scoring position in three of the four innings.

“You cannot say enough about what Trent Clark did,” said Lee County head coach Charlie Spivey. “He

pitched his tail off for us. He saved the first game (on Saturday) for us and started the last game and did a fantastic job. He was great for us.”

Along with seven other seniors, this was the first time that Clark and his classmates had experience the posteason in their playing careers at Lee County.

So when the Yellow Jackets were eliminated in the regional final, needless to say there was a lot of disappointment after the game.

“It’s hard, it really is,” said Clark. “We all wanted to go to the state title game, especially us seniors. This isn’t what we wanted, but finishing as the runner-up in the East is good enough. Hopefully next year, the guys can come back and get it done.”

Don’t be fooled by an offer that requires a donation on your part.

This year, you have to be sympathetic to your own needs. Your numbers are 4, 12, 15, 26, 29, 37, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do whatever it takes to ease your stress. Ask for help or share your feelings with someone who can relate to your situation. You don’t have to be the bearer of everyone else’s burdens.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will find it difficult to harness your emotions. If you start to put the blame on everyone around you, it will backfire, leaving you to do all the fixing up. Offer incentives and be diplomatic.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Pay special attention to detail and to the people involved in whatever you are pursuing. Getting information from an agency, institution or large corporation will be easy if you are diplomatic. Don’t fall for a gimmick.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take a lighthearted approach to whatever you are faced with and you will get things done. The less stressed you are, the easier it will be to take whatever action is necessary. Good fortune is heading your way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Emotional concerns can be dealt with bringing a greater understanding between you and someone with whom you are partnered. Get involved with a group or organization that will introduce you to people with something to offer you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): Expand your knowledge regarding a lifestyle

WORD JUMBLE

change you’ve been considering. Don’t overspend on your home or on someone who is demanding too much from you financially or emotionally.

Be firm and say no.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t be afraid of controversy. You have to stick up for your beliefs and follow your own path, regardless of what others want you to do. Get together with someone who shares your views and is just as innovative and imaginative as you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Getting involved in something that really isn’t your business will backfire, leaving you in an awkward and vulnerable position. Put your time and effort into fixing up your home or developing a creative idea.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Make sure you are utilizing your talents to the fullest. If you feel you aren’t being treated properly, it may be time to make a move that allows you to grow and flourish.

There is money to be made if you are creative and concentrate on what you can do, instead of what you cannot.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let go of whatever is holding you back emotionally. Take care of loose ends that keep you tied to something or someone that doesn’t belong in your life anymore. Use your past experience to make the right decision now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t shirk responsibilities. If someone expects something from you, be sure to deliver.

Procrastination or not honoring a promise will lead to criticism. Ask questions so you know where you stand.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make your choice known and stick to your decision. Your strength of character will help others realize you mean business. Your excellent memory, experience and any documentation you have will be enough.

DEAR ABBY: My mother-inlaw is upset with my wife and me for sneaking out of a wedding reception early (before the dinner was served). There was a long delay between the reception and the dinner, and a DJ was playing loud, deafening rock ‘n’ roll music.

We were seated near a speaker and it was virtually impossible to carry on a conversation. My wife claimed a major headache to the guests seated at our table, and we discreetly left the reception.

My mother-in-law says if you accept the dinner invitation it is bad manners not to eat the dinner because it cost the hosts money. I say, if the reception has intolerable environmental factors inflicted on the guests, leaving early is acceptable. Were we rude to leave as we did?

— LOST MY APPETITE IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR LOST MY APPETITE: Let me put it this way — your motherin-law has a point. Because the music was so loud that you were uncomfortable, you should have asked your hosts to instruct the DJ to lower the volume somewhat.

It would have been preferable to walking out. o DEAR ABBY: I’m the supervisor of a small office. One of my biggest challenges is scheduling time

off for the female employees. In my day, you didn’t take a day off unless you were very sick or your child was sick. Now they seem to want time off for everything from school events, sporting events, getting their nails done, their faces waxed or tanning appointments. I am amazed at the decline in work ethic.

As I read about the unemployment in our country, I would think people would be grateful to have a well-paying job with benefits -- but the recession hasn’t slowed any of our female employees down one bit. What has happened to the old-fashioned work ethic that founded this country?

(Maybe it went south along with the jobs?) And by the way, Abby, I am a female.

— TAKES MY JOB SERIOUSLY DEAR TAKES: Most companies give employees time off for personal business and vacations,

as well as time off for their own illnesses or the illness of family members. If they choose to use the time the way you have described, it is their right to do so. However, if they are taking more than the company offers, that could be a problem. While I understand your point, please try to be less judgmental. o DEAR ABBY: My wife and I work and lead busy lives. The dinner table is the only place we can sit together with our son and have a relaxing conversation. My wife, however, goes off and eats by herself saying she can’t wait — even though dinner is almost ready. I have tried telling her I prefer family time, but she brushes me off or becomes angry. Any suggestions?

— HUNGRY FOR CONVERSATION DEAR HUNGRY: Yes. If you want family dinners with your wife, you will have to find out — and resolve — what is eating her. Clear the air and you may find her less hungry for solitude.

A gentle reminder: Families sitting down and sharing meals together is a practice that is happening less and less, and it’s a shame.

Teachers tell me that students who eat with their parents usually earn better grades than those who eat in front of a television set or on the run.

ODDS AND ENDS US vet’s dog tags found on old Italian battlefield BUDA, Texas (AP) — A retired police inspector’s newly acquired metal detecting hobby helped him find dog tags and other items belonging to a Texas World War II veteran who was wounded on an Italian battlefield.

Oscar Glomb served with the 36th Infantry Division and landed at the Bay of Salerno in 1943. He was wounded in a June 1944 battle near Gavorrano.

Glomb died in 1998. His son says he never forgot about his dog tags.

Retired Italian police inspector Daniele Bianchini found the tags, a ring and a medallion while practicing his new hobby on the old battlefield. Bianchini asked to keep one of the tags and sent the rest of the items to Glomb’s family in Texas.

Glomb’s 85-year-old wife Dorothy calls it a miracle to have the items back and says the family is thankful.

Wash. sheriff has to replace inmate’s locks SOAP LAKE, Wash. (AP) — A sheriff’s office in Washington state has paid more than $400 to replace an inmate’s locks and keys after a deputy left the keys on the back of his cruiser and took off without grabbing them.

Authorities in Grant County say Michael Eugene Power was arrested for violating a protection order. Before transporting Power, a deputy placed the suspect’s keys and wallet on top of the closed trunk of his patrol vehicle.

But when the deputy was ordered to respond to a different call, he took off without grabbing the keys and wallet and they fell off. The wallet was returned to Power, but the

Pa. pair born in same hospital on same day to wed BUSHKILL, Pa. (AP) — An engaged eastern Pennsylvania couple were born on the same day in the same hospital - and their mothers even shared a room in the maternity ward.

Amy Singley and Steven Smith were born at St. Luke’s Hospital in Fountain Hill on April 17, 1986.

After the mothers were hospital roommates, the two families continued to interact through their church in Easton. Smith asked Singley on a date to the movies when they were sophomores in high school.

Singley says she knew Smith was the right guy for her after their second date. She says people are convinced the 24-year-olds were “destined to be together.”

They plan to get married June 12.

NY man seeking help for stray dog arrested for DWI MONROE, N.Y. (AP) — A man who went to a New York village police station seeking help for a stray dog found trouble instead after police say he drove there drunk.

Monroe police say 38-year-old Oleksandr Nayda found a stray Rottweiler and drove to their headquarters around 10 a.m. Saturday to ask for directions to an animal shelter.

But authorities in the Orange County village say the Monroe resident smelled like alcohol and had a 0.17 blood-alcohol content. That’s more than twice the legal limit. He was arrested for driving while intoxicated.

An officer took the dog to the shelter.

Christ’s resurrection was very real Q: Once again, my wife dragged me to church on Easter this year. I don’t want to offend you, but how can anyone believe that Jesus died and then came back to life again? I’m a doctor, and believe me -- once a person is dead, it’s all over. -- K.J. A: Let me assure you that people 2,000 years ago knew that death was final just as much as you do -- if not more so, since death in those days wasn’t hidden behind hospital doors. Job’s question still echoes across the centuries: “If a man dies, will he live again?” (Job 14:14).

But that’s why the resurrection of Jesus Christ is so important -- because nothing like it ever happened before, or will ever happen again until the end of time. Christ’s resurrection from the dead sets Him apart from every other person who ever lived -- and it could only have happened if God intervened and made it happen. And that’s precisely what took place!

The Bible says that Christ “was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead” (Romans 1:4).

Did it happen? It may interest you to know that one of the Gospels that tells us about Jesus’ resurrection was written by a man named Luke -- who was a doctor.

If anyone knew that dead people don’t come back to life it was Luke -- but he had weighed the evidence, and he knew Jesus Christ was alive.

And so can you.

Why is Jesus’ resurrection important? It is important because it gives us hope -- hope that sin’s power has been erased, and death and Hell and Satan have been conquered.
