Budget tabled over taxes

Accident survivor was listed as dead

Councilman Mike Stone calls for decrease, others want more time to debate By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — The Sanford City Council tabled talks on its annual budget Tuesday, delaying one councilman’s calls to cut local taxes and open up the city’s pocketbook to some

nonprofits. Councilman Sam Gaskins, a vocal critic of expanded spending on some city budget items, said he did not see enough work done to trim expenditures to justify passing a $40.5 million spending plan for 2010-2011 on Tuesday.

“I can’t vote one way or the other,” Gaskins said. Gaskins’ comments came after Mayor Pro Tem Mike Stone attempted to steer a motion to reduce the city’s 54cent property tax rate by one cent, pointing to the city’s $10 million-plus fund balance, or

savings account, as evidence that recession-hit locals have been “overtaxed.” “It’s easy to spend somebody else’s money, but it’s hard to reach back in and do what’s right,” Stone said.

SANFORD — Initial police reports that all three men found near the site of a deadly crash Saturday morning were killed were apparently not true, Sanford police say. Police reported Tuesday that one of those three men, 34-year-old Claudia Baudililo Hernandez, did not die at Central Carolina Hospital as initially reported. Hernandez was described as “brain dead” by a doctor at Central Carolina following a high-speed wreck early Saturday off Jefferson Davis Highway, or U.S. 1, near Spring Lane in Sanford, said Capt. David Smith of the Sanford Police Department. But after he was trans-

ebekah Jackson considers herself one of the lucky ones. She’s 16, and she has a job. While the economic downturn has led to fewer employment opportunities for teenagers and adults alike, Jackson has worked at Lee County Gymnastics since August 2009, and with school letting out in the coming days, she’ll have a job there this summer, too. “I’ve been doing gymnastics my whole life, so I already knew a lot of people here,” said Jackson, a student at Lee County High School. “A bunch of my friends have been looking for jobs but can’t find any.” The job market has shown signs of improvement as the Lee County unemployment rate dropped from 13.3 per-

And Edith Edmond, manager of the Lee County Employment Security Commission, said she expects the unemployment rate will continue to drop, but she said teenagers face more of a challenge than in summers past because they’re not the only ones looking for work. “Teenagers are competing for the same jobs as adults now,” Edmond said. “They’re competing for the same jobs as their parents and college students.” O’Connell’s Supermarket used to hire a few high school students every summer and fall, but customer service manager Wanda Futral said the store hasn’t been able to in the past year and a half for financial reasons. “I think most employers are going to find ways to make what they have work,” Futral said. “I really feel sorry

Pet of the Week Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption

Oliver Oliver is a 4-month-old orange and white domestic short hair. He is unlike any other kitten you’ll ever meet because he is extra playful and extra purr-filled. Oliver is litter-box trained and young enough to be guided by your energy; whether you are playful, relaxed or super-affectionate, he will follow your lead. Or maybe not so much (you know cats). Please come out and meet Oliver and the many other young kittens (gray, black and tabbies ... short, medium and long-haired) available right now. Remember CARA offers a discounted adoption fee to the lucky family that adopts a companion feline for any of the cats/kittens. Oliver is current on vaccines and preventatives, FeLV and FIV negative, micro-chipped and will be neutered prior to adoption. See CARA’s Web site (www.cara-nc.org) for more info or to apply to adopt.

Almanac

This day in history: On June 2, 1953, Queen Elizabeth II of Britain was crowned in Westminster Abbey, 16 months after the death of her father, King George VI. In 1897, Mark Twain, 61, was quoted by the New York Journal as saying from London that “the report of my death was an exaggeration.” In 1924, Congress passed a measure that was then signed by President Calvin Coolidge granting American citizenship to all U.S.-born American Indians. In 1941, baseball’s “Iron Horse,” Lou Gehrig, died in New York of a degenerative disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; he was 37. In 1966, the U.S. space probe Surveyor 1 landed on the moon and began transmitting detailed photographs of the lunar surface. In 1979, Pope John Paul II arrived in his native Poland on the first visit by a pope to a Communist country.

Free summer concerts offered at vets memorial

BROADWAY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rhythm at the Pavilion is coming to Broadway this summer. The North Carolina Veterans Memorial on Main Street in Broadway will be the site for a series of free concerts made possible by the success of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Broadway Our Way festival, according to organizers. The concerts will be held at 7 p.m. on the third Saturday of June, July and August this year. The concerts are free to the public, and anybody is invited. Siler City-baed Blender, with Chad and Kristi Gaines, will kick off the series on June 19, playing variety of music, including oldies, rock and country. On July 17, Al Batten and the Blue Grass Reunion take the stage. Dedicated to the preservation of traditional bluegrass music, the group was formed in 1972 and has performed at many functions including the North Carolina Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mansion and the International Blue Grass and Folk Festival in Ireland, as well as numerous festivals from Florida to New York. Four Heart Harmony, a gospel music female quartet from Broadway, is slated to appear on Aug. 21. The group has won the Female Quartet Trophy award distributed at the State Annual Sing Competition in Benson for 13 of the past 14 years. In 1998, the Country Gospel Music Association of Pulaski, Va., voted the group Favorite Quartet in the Southeast Region of the United States. No alcohol or pets are allowed at this event, and guests are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets.

During the week, pages have a chance to attend press conferences, meet with the governor and

assist in day-to-day office operations. Some of their responsibilities include filing documents, assisting in mass mailings, answering telephones and delivering agency messages.

Etheridge urges preparedness in hurricane season WASHINGTON, DC â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-Lillington) toured North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front-line forecasting center and met with officials from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) and an NC State Computer Science professor Tuesday to discuss the threat to North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coast and inland areas during hurricane season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hurricane season is a very serious issue for the citizens of North Carolina,â&#x20AC;? said Etheridge. â&#x20AC;&#x153; I appreciate the opportunity to meet with these noted weather experts to get the best information available about storm forecasts for this hurricane season.â&#x20AC;? The 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season begins June 1. This season could be very active, as NOAA is projecting a 70 percent probability of 14 to 23 named tropical storms and hurricanes. Etheridge formerly served on the Homeland Security Committee and has consistently worked to ensure that the state has the tools it needs to protect the public. During the meeting, Etheridge spoke with forecasters from North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local National Weather Service, and N.C. State professor Dr. Tao Xie demonstrated his state-of-the-art Hurricane Tracking Model computer program which forecasts the likely track of a hurricane according to probability calculations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When disaster strikes, the phone rings here in Raleigh, North Carolina, not in Washington, DC,â&#x20AC;? Etheridge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need the most accurate forecasting information possible as well in advance as possible. When it comes to natural disasters, we cannot afford to wait until the last minute to examine our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; From staff reports

County program copes with Shooter was homeless, loss of SESC lead officer Special to The Herald PITTSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The shock of the unexpected death of Jim Willis on May 6 continues to impact county officials and staff, who admired Willisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; warm personality and his ability to quickly develop an award-winning Soil Erosion & Sedimentation Control program. Willis came to work as the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lead SESC Officer in the Health Department in July 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the SESC program in its infancy, Jim established a comprehensive, well-regarded program that won the top statewide award in 2008 as the Best Small Local Program, presented by the North Carolina Sedimentation Commission, an amazing accomplishment in such a short time,â&#x20AC;? said Holly Coleman, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jim was always a pleasure to work with, pleasant to all and a true professional.

Commissioner Sally Kost said a reason Willis was successful was his â&#x20AC;&#x153;huge personalityâ&#x20AC;? and dedication to his job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was in the unenviable role of regulating development activities, but Jim had a way of approaching folks,â&#x20AC;? Kost said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It truly was hard for them to be upset with him.â&#x20AC;? The program moved under the Sustainability Communities Department in 2009. Cynthia Van Der Wiele, department director, said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jim quickly demonstrated that he not only was an effective leader for his division, he was a team player who fostered support and collaboration across organizational boundaries.â&#x20AC;? Rachael Thorn, the only other SESC staff member, said â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many talents was in his singular ability to fuse a strong work ethic with a quick-witted sense of humor. His approach to

our work was an inspiration to me as both a Chatham native and as an employee.â&#x20AC;? The loss of Willis means that Thorn is currently handling all duties for SESC in Chatham County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the time being, Rachael will assume Willisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; duties, which means that she will handle administration, investigation and plan review,â&#x20AC;? said Van Der Wiele. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jim picked a very competent person to work with him and helped prepare her for this role, so we have confidence in Rachaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abilities to handle the job effectively,â&#x20AC;? Van Der Wiele said. Willis was survived by his wife Jennifer Anne Willis and and three children, Keara Dane, Jasper Aden and Oliver Finn Willis. An education fund was established for the children: Willis Family Education Fund, 6505 Sarrucca Ct., Holly Springs, NC 27540.

APEX (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The person responsible for killing a cashier and unleashing terror at the Apex Super Target on Sunday was a 67-yearold homeless man who had been sleeping in his truck, police said. On Monday, police identified the shooter as Mervin Carroll Mims. He had been romantically involved with the victim, Guadalupe F. Rosas, 58, of Apex about five years ago, police said. Police said Mims fired multiple gunshots, killing Rosas as hundreds of terrified shoppers and employees fled the mammoth store. Police have released little else about the man, who eventually turned the pistol on himself and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Mims was apparently a native of Florida who had lived in several places across the country. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Raleigh News & Observer

Editorial Board: Bill Horner III, Publisher • Billy Liggett, Editor • R.V. Hight, Special Projects Editor

Thursday will be a banner day for LCHS Thursday will be a day of celebration in Lee County — and rightly so. A groundbreaking ceremony for the renovations of Lee County High School will be held at 3 p.m. at the school, 1708 Nash Street, Sanford. Lee County High School has well served this county, from its first pupils in 1951 to the present. The former Sanford Central High School first served students from Sanford and Jonesboro high schools. Sanford Central High School served the city students until 1977, when it became the high school for all Lee County students with the merger of

Broadway, Deep River and Greenwood into the student population. That’s when the name was changed to Lee County High School. The crowded school got some welcome relief when the new Southern Lee High School opened in 2005. Much has been said, both pro and con, concerning the renovations at Lee County High School. Obviously, anytime it comes to borrowing and spending money there are likely going to be differing opinions. Could more be done for Southern Lee? Absolutely. Could more be done for

our middle and elementary schools? Absolutely. Could the Lee County High renovations be further delayed? Absolutely. But, would that be the best thing? Absolutely not. Lee County High School is well-worn. Much of its facilities have served well over time, but as the case with any buildings, time can take its toll. The students and faculty of Lee County High deserve better facilities. These necessary renovations have been set aside for too long. It’s time for Lee County High School to get the renova-

tions it so desperated needs so that it will be ready to serve both current and future generations of young people, just as it has so aptly done in the past. The decision has been made. The time for arguing whether it’s the right thing or not is over. The renovations will move forward and our students will be the ones to benefit from this bold undertaking. It’s time our community join together in unison in support of our county — our high school — our students. It’s time to show those who are considering Lee County for its

home that we are progressive in our thinking and that we’re serious about education and the facilities to go along with it. Our community is a great one — and we should have great schools. It’s time for Lee Countians to show their support for our county, for our educational opportunities and facilities, and for our future. A large audience for the groundbreaking ceremony would send the message that we love our students, we love our schools and we love our community. And we want what’s best for them.

Two gold medals

s I walked into the Central Carolina Community College gymnasium last week, I felt a sense of nervousness. I took my first shot and missed. The second shot was off the mark. So was the third. Several shots later, I finally hit a shot. Practice suddenly had become more fun. Yes, ol’ R.V. was taking part in his first Lee County Senior Games, having finally obtained the youngest of ages to participate in the competition. It was great to see several friends among the group of seniors to compete in the basketball throw event. As the practice round ended and a short while later I heard my named called, the nervousness reared its ugly head once again. It was time for me to attempt three shots from six various spots on the floor — from close range to the top of the circle. Things did not start well, but I eventually hit a shot. Another one finally fell through the net. A short time later, I made another one — this one from the top of the circle. My total — 3 shots made in 18 attempts. Ugh! While I made just three shots, it was enough to win the gold medal in the 55-59 age bracket. It was satisfying to win the gold, but it was disappointing that there was no one else to compete in my age category. The next day, there was the football throw. Four distances had been marked off. During practice, I made several from the shorter ranges. That was my goal, to make the shorter ones and not worry about the greater distances. Then, came the word. I was in the youngest category — and I would have to throw from the two longest distances (10 and 15 feet). No big deal. I figured I could make at least one. I figured wrong. Although I had several to rim out, none of my throws went through the target — and while I had no opposition, there were no successful throws and no medal. Oh, well! Then came the softball throw. Distance and accuracy were the keys. R.V.’s long throw was 56-feet, 1-inch. Not great — but good enough for the gold. Two medals in three competitions in my first Senior Games. I was thrilled, although I truly wish I would have had some competition in my age division. I thorough enjoyed watching the other competitors, all older and much more talented that myself. They were athletes in every sense of the word. It was an honor to be on the same court and field. The Lee County Senior Games and Silver Arts is a wonderful program, with much thanks to Jimmy Solomon and Lee County Senior Services. It’s not so much about the winning of medals, rather it’s more about the friendly competition for those age 55 and older. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to participate and look forward to next year’s event.

Politics of pretense P

ubilius Syrus, a former slave whose Latin writings won the praise of Julius Caesar himself, exhibited a keen understanding of human affairs, including politics. “He who has a mind to do mischief,” Pubilius wrote, “will always find a pretense.” Anyone who watches the North Carolina General Assembly quickly becomes familiar with the politics of pretense. If a lawmaker has a bill drafted to benefit a John Hood friend, political supporter, or special interColumnist est, he finds a way to cloak it in thick layers John Hood is president of of “creating jobs” or “helping children.” Also, the John Locke Foundation many lawmakers file bills they have no expectation or even intention of passing — someSupporters apparently assume that the times to fulfill a promise, sometimes to garner Obama administration will either be fooled favorable attention during campaign season, by the bill or doesn’t really care about charter and sometimes just to get the attention of the schools. Both assumptions seem to me to be bill’s opponents so they will make a side deal fraught with unnecessary peril. or pony up campaign contributions. Darrell Allison, president of Parents for Few legislative dramas have been so full Educational Freedom in North Carolina, had of pretense as the House of Representatives’ the same thought. “North Carolina is once lickety-split passage of a bill authorizing local again positioning itself to forfeit hundreds of districts to convert failing public schools into “charter-like schools.” During the floor debate millions of dollars due to its inaction in moving strong on public charter school policy this over the measure, some supporters insisted that it had nothing to do with North Carolina’s legislative short session,” Allison said at the application for federal Race to the Top educa- Legislative Building shortly before the initial House vote. tion funds.

Today’s Prayer

Last week, I was substitute teaching for a history teacher at a local public high school. At the beginning of class, one of the students asked me if I had an inspirational reading to share with them as their teacher usually did. I asked if any of them had heard the “Love Chapter” found in the Bible. Sadly, not one of the more than 20 students raised their hand or had any idea to what I was referring. I then read aloud the beautiful Chapter 13 of Corinthians I, and they heard for the first time the greatest definition of love that they will ever find written anywhere. Why don’t we emphasize to our youth in public schools the value in learning and knowing God’s Word? The way it is ignored there sends them the wrong impression; this is not the interpretation most people intended with regard to the “separation of church and state” issue. For our children, it is time we focus on the benefits of unification rather than this decrepit wall of separation. The many churches in our community should be viewed by our school system as a source of help and support, because most people within them have a desire to become involved if a coordinated effort was made to include them. The school board should consider giving a credit in the humanities to the students who complete a year of Sunday school or weekly Bible study in a local church. The cost of offering this would be small — the churches have the facilities (some even provide transportation), but the benefits to our youth would be life-changing. It would provide an incentive, or excuse, for many of our youth to go to church, where they may find the help they need in other areas of their lives. There are organizations that are willing to place (free of charge) Bibles in the classrooms and in the hands of every elementary grade student — many of them do not own a personal copy. To our superintendent and board of education members, on behalf of our students I beseech, in the spirit of Ronald Reagan, “Tear down this wall!” Proverbs 1:7 states, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” I hope our school and community leaders will acknowledge this truth and move without fear toward the goal of having the youth in our public schools begin to understand this truth on a personal level. It is better to please God than man, as His Word also teaches. We should esteem God and direct our youth to His precious Word for many of the answers they seek, that can not be found in any other book. ROBERT A. WATSON Sanford

Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bond ratings get major upgrades From staff reports PITTSBOROâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; In the past few weeks, the two major local government bond rating agencies upgraded Chatham Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ratings, which means major savings to taxpayers for any future issues. It also means that Chathamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall ratings are higher than other counties of similar size and most surrounding counties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Generally, only larger urban or suburban counties with large tax bases have better bond ratings than Chatham County,â&#x20AC;? said Chatham County Manager Charlie Horne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that we are rated higher than other counties in the 50,000 to 75,000 population group reflects our commitment to sound fiscal management practices.â&#x20AC;? Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (S&P) upgraded Chatham County two positions to AA+. Only a AAA rating is higher, which larger counties like Wake and Durham have attained. Moodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also upgraded the county two slots from A1 to Aa2, just two positions away from its highest rating of Aaa. Of the surrounding counties, Alamance and Orange share the same rating but have considerably larger tax bases. However, no additional counties in the 50,00075,000 population group have attained this rating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The higher bond ratings mean significant savings on future bond issues, a potential savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars over the next 10-20 years for county and school facilities,â&#x20AC;? said Sally Kost, chairman of the Chatham County

Board of Commissioners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This demonstrates that sound financial policies over the past few years have resulted in a win-win situation for the county and its taxpayers.â&#x20AC;? S&P said that its upgraded rating of Chatham County was based on several key factors: n The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convenient proximity to both the Triangle and Triad metro areas and job markets. n A stable property tax base with fairly high average median household incomes. n A healthy fund balance achieved through sound fiscal management practices, including specific actions taken to reduce budget expenses during the economic downturn last year. n Low overall burden of debt. The S&P report specifically noted that even with the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to fund additional major capital projects and reduce fund balance to around 20 percent. It said that the current debt burden of â&#x20AC;&#x153;low in our opinionâ&#x20AC;? even though the county expects to issue about $80 million of bonds over the next two years for capital projects. S&P specifies that the budget cuts made in the current budget added nearly $700,000 to the general fund balance, which put the county in a very sound fiscal position. Moodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has not issued a specific report detailing its upgrade of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bond rating, but the new rating means that the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial status is â&#x20AC;&#x153;high quality with low credit risk.â&#x20AC;?

College offers community Speakers Bureau By KATHERINE McDONALD Special to The Herald

SANFORD — Central Carolina Community College adds another community resource to its services with the establishment of a Speakers Bureau. “This is one more way we at the college are strengthening our service to the communities we serve,” said college President Bud Marchant. “We are excited about this new opportunity to share our expertise.” The Speakers Bureau consists of members of the college’s administration, faculty and staff. Their years of education and experience in the topics they speak about can enliven and enlighten any community meeting. Organizations, clubs, schools, churches, businesses, and civic groups in the college’s service area of Chatham, Harnett and Lee counties are invited to schedule speakers. All presentations are free. So far, about 25 administrators, faculty and staff are available to

Police Beat LEE COUNTY

n James Collins of 295 Long Street Road in Sanford reported a larceny of a lawnmower from his residence Friday. n Jason Cintron of 48 Hillside Lane in Sanford reported someone damaged two windows at his residence Sunday. n Regina Davis Childress of 6505 Reeves Drive in Sanford reported

speak on almost 100 different topics. The topics range from business ethics to the War on Terror, from the Constitution to organic gardening. Presentations are available in the following categories: Athletics and Sports Science, Automotive Restoration, Business and Industry, Current Events, Education, Educators/Colleges, Green, Health and Wellness, History, Job Search, Leadership, Literature, Music, Regional, Religion and Spirituality, Small Business, and Technology. George Clayton, CCCC lead instructor for Human Resources Management and Operations Management, said the Speakers Bureau was established not only to provide a service to the college’s communities, but also to raise awareness of what the college and its people do. “There are a lot of people here with talent and knowledge that will benefit the community,” he said. “I hope people will look at the Speakers Bureau pages at the web site – they say something about the college.”

Clayton and Jon Matthews, the college’s dean of University Transfer, Health Sciences, and Developmental Studies, recently did a presentation on business ethics for the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce’s 2010 Leedership Sanford class. Both are available through the Speakers Bureau. “We wanted a high quality presentation and we certainly got that,” said Bob Joyce, Chamber president. “A lot of times, the community thinks of the college as a place for classes and programs, but not as a resource for speakers. It is a great resource because of the breadth of topics offered and the expertise there. I definitely think the Speakers Bureau will be an asset to the community. I applaud the college for setting it up.” The Speakers Bureau’s website, www.cccc.edu/ speakersbureau, includes speaker biographies, topics, and speaker request forms. Requests can also be made by contacting Irene Smith at (919) 718-7518. At least two weeks advance notice is preferred.

SPEAKERS The following is a sample of the variety of speakers and topics available through Central Carolina Community College’s new Speakers Bureau:

someone damaged a window of her 2000 Jeep while parked at her residence Monday. n Daquon Antonio Smith, 18, of 2000 Tramway Road in Sanford, was arrested Monday for assault on a female and second-degree trespassing; he was released under $10,000 unsecured bond. n Otis Preston Johnson, 40, of 2713 Brookhaven Drive in Sanford, was arrested Monday for failing to appear in court; he was

held under $2,000 secured bond. n Jonathon Lee Willett, 19, of 454 Willett Road in Sanford, was arrested Saturday for simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia; he was held under $500 secured bond. n Beverly Chalmers McLean, 59, of 203 Talley Ave. in Sanford, was arrested Monday for failing to appear in court; she was held under $310 secured bond.

Businesses to be recognized for excellence in safety From staff reports SANFORD — The N.C. Department of Labor will honor Sanford area employers and employees at the agency’s annual safety awards banquet in Sanford on Thursday. “It’s really an honor for me to travel throughout the state and recognize these employers who are making a commitment to their employees’ safety and health,” Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry said. “These employers are helping to make North Carolina workplaces some of the safest in the country.” The awards honor outstanding on-the-job safety achievements of each company during 2009. Recipients are located in Aberdeen, Bunn Level, Colfax, Lillington, Pittsboro, Sanford, Southern Pines, West End and Wilson. Commissioner Berry will speak at the banquet and present the awards. The event is co-sponsored by the N.C. Department of Labor and the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce. The banquet, slated to begin at noon, will be held at Chef Paul’s. The local recipients have met the stringent requirements necessary to receive a safety award. Under program rules, companies must have been free of fatal accidents at the site for which the award is given to be eligible. The gold award criteria are based on a DART rate that is at least 50 percent below the statewide rate for its industry. The rate includes cases of days away from work, restricted activity or job transfer. The silver award is based only on cases with days away from work. They are recorded when the worker misses at least one full day of work, not including the day of the injury. Recipients include:

Waste litigation suit settled

RALEIGH (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court has largely ruled in favor of North Carolina in a decade-old suit with other Southeastern states about low-level radioactive waste. The justices upheld Tuesday the decision of a special master that the Southeast Compact Com-

mission and four of its states couldn’t win back tens of millions of dollars given to North Carolina to build a waste site never completed in Wake County. The primary opinion from Justice Antonin Scalia agrees with the master that the compact’s terms didn’t allow the commis-

sion to impose monetary sanctions on North Carolina. The commission chose North Carolina in 1986 to build the dump. North Carolina withdrew from the compact in 1999. The commission sued with Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia joining the lawsuit.

locals involved with area nonprofits as the council considers calls to adopt a policy on whether or not to give financial support to some cash-starved charity groups. Stone urged the council to allot about $75,000 of recently-released revenue from the ABC Board on nonprofits, with later meetings planned to discuss how to divvy up the money. In past budgets, the city has spent money to aid nonprofits like the one that runs Temple Theatre, the Railroad House Association and the Lee County Arts Council. But Hegwer removed $26,000 in funding for those three organizations, the bulk or $20,000 coming from Temple Theatre, as the City Council considers a policy following a request from the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sanford/Lee County for $50,000 in funding. Dozens of locals stood silently Tuesday as Temple Producing Artistic Director Peggy Taphorn called on the City Council to continue to back the theater. “City of Sanford support will ensure that Temple Theatre will continue to attract people downtown,” Taphorn

said, adding that the inflow of customers pays off for downtown shops and restaurants as well. Others urged the city to treat all nonprofits fairly if they are going to make donations at all. Local businessowner and former president of Downtown Sanford Inc. Carol Carlson called on the council to back initiatives like Downtown Sanford. Downtown Sanford organizes events and decorations for the city’s downtown blocks and promotes its businesses, but Councilman Charles Taylor questioned in previous meetings how to assess the value the city gets from its investment in the group. Carlson said the group’s contribution is vital for Sanford. “If you want to attract newcomers and businesses, you need to first have great schools and have a thriving downtown,” she said. The City Council had not set a date by press time Tuesday on when it will take up the budget again. Sanford is bound by state law to pass a balanced budget before the July 1 start of the 20102011 fiscal year.

sped off of a highway exit ramp and rolled down an embankment to a nearby street at about 1:30 a.m. Saturday. Two other men, 25year-old Edwin Perez Hernandez and 26-yearold Fermin Patrocinio Perez, were reportedly dead when police arrived. All three men lived in a residence on Burns Drive in Sanford, police say. A witness said another man crawled from the wreckage of the truck and stumbled away, Smith said. That man has yet to be found by police and he is

not believed to be in the area, Smith said Tuesday. Smith said he’s never seen a situation like this before. “This is a very unusual situation where you’ve got the doctors at our hospital saying the guy’s going to die, we’re going to ship him out as a donor and that turned out to not be true,” he said. “We’re kind of upset about it.” Attempts to contact Central Carolina Hospital for comment on this story were unsuccessful Tuesday afternoon.

to have fun when they’re here, both customers and employees.” John Payne, director of Lee County Parks and Recreation, said while the department doesn’t hire as many people as it once did, it still seeks teenagers for part-time and seasonal jobs. He said in his experience, teenagers are more willing to work fewer, more flexible hours than adults seeking fulltime employment. “I’m proud of our teenage staff,” Payne said. “I think they do a good job for us, and our full time staff does a good job preparing them.” Even if teenagers can’t find paying jobs, volunteer opportunities are readily available at organizations such as the Christian United Outreach Center. Executive director Teresa Dew said the center always needs volunteers at its food bank and thrift store. “Working in your community is always a great opportunity to get to know people from diverse groups,” Dew said. Dew also emphasized that a recommendation from a nonprofit organization can be beneficial on job applications.

People of all ages who are having trouble landing a job can also find help through organizations such as Sanford Job Seekers, operated through First Baptist Church. Cindy Hall, minister of outreach and activities, said she hasn’t seen many teenagers because Sanford Job Seekers meets Wednesday mornings when school is typically in session, but she said teenagers are welcome at all meetings. “It’s amazing the amount of leads that come out of this networking,” Hall said. “Somebody will say ‘I’d like to do this’ and someone will say ‘Oh I know so and so is hiring in your field.’” In addition to networking, Sanford Job Seekers teaches job searching skills, interviewing skills and money saving tips. Hall said while there are signs of improvement, many people still need help finding employment. “We decided when we came together as a church to do this that we would continue as long as there was a need,” Hall said. “And there’s definitely still a need.”

City Manager Hal Hegwer’s proposed budget maintains the current tax rate. Struggling Sanford residents need “comfort” from their city government, Stone said, not the burden of high taxes on top of increasing water and sewer rates. City Council members voted last month to raise utility rates to help foot the bill for a planned $67 million expansion of Sanford’s Big Buffalo sewer plant. Stone’s proposal, which would have required the city to make up for approximately $207,000 in lost tax revenue, was met with lukewarm support from council members. Councilman Charles Taylor applauded the motion, but Councilman James Williams questioned the wisdom of slashing the city’s budget and spending from savings. “If you want to move the city forward, you can’t keep cutting,” Williams said. Tuesday’s meeting also included a staunch show of support from

for people wanting a job this summer. It’s getting harder in retail.” Paul Freedle, owner of Fairview Dairy Bar, said he thinks the job market is so tough because more and more people are hanging on to their jobs, but he doesn’t think teenagers who need work should lose hope. “No matter what, keep on going out there and trying,” Freedle said. “Especially in the restaurant industry, things can change quickly.” Though teenagers may be competing for many of the same jobs as adults, some local businesses are looking specifically for teenagers to fill part-time and seasonal positions. Spring Lane Cinemas has already secured a summer staff, but the movie theater seeks teenage employees year-round. “It’s a fun atmosphere here and I think teenagers bring that livelihood and youth and excitement to it,” said Ben Johnson, assistant manager of Spring Lane Cinemas. “We want people

Command and U.S. Army Reserve Command will relocate to Fort Bragg by Sept. 15, 2011, into a $292 million headquarters currently being built. Anywhere between 2,500 and 5,000 civilian workers, soldiers, defense contractors and their families are expected to move to North Carolina, and the 11-county region surrounding the base is literally competing for the right to be called “home” to these families. The competition between Lee and Moore counties appears to be more friendly as the two representing chambers have not only shared advertising space near the base, but they’re also combining their efforts Friday to reach out to the military families preparing to move. Both chambers have sent representatives to Georgia previously, but this will be the first trip without the other nine counties tagging along. Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce President Bob Joyce said the reason for the trip is that time is running out. The Department of Defense, he said, recently received surveys from the families and learned that about 90 percent of those losing jobs at Fort McPherson are seriously considering North Carolina as their next move. “If people are putting their houses on the market now, they need this time to look at our communities, look at our schools and look at

our quality of life,” Joyce said. “It’s very important that the two chambers do something right away.” Joyce said invitations were sent to all chamber members to make the four-and-a-half hour trip, and from Sanford alone, about 45 to 55 people will be on hand Friday. He said bankers, mortgage lenders, schools, hospitals, churches, downtown officials, hotel owners and more will be represented. Real estate agent Cindy Ammons of ERA Ammons said her goal this week is to let the military families know Sanford is excited to have them here. “We are that small town that you want to raise your family in or retire to,” Ammons said. “When I went down there two years ago, they were familiar with Sanford and Lee County. But now they’ve done their homework, and they’ll come prepared with great questions about our area.” Ammons said about 10 agents from her company will make the trip, and many will meet families they’ve been in contact with (over the phone) face to face for the first time. Linda Parsons, vice president of the Moore County Chamber of Commerce, called the trip a hands-on opportunity to reach out to those who’ve made a commitment to Fort Bragg. “We’re excited to talk about the unique features Moore County has,” Parsons said. “Sure, there’s the golf, but we also have a small-town

feel with some amenities of a large community. We have the metropolitan opera at our theater ... lots of arts and culture, horseback riding ... Moore County has a broad spectrum of things to do.” She said she doesn’t feel like Moore and Lee counties are “competing,” but rather working toward a common goal. “Both counties have something to offer,” she said. “We both see the potential economically, and we’ve been working very well together up to now.” As for what that “potential” will be is still up for debate. Joyce said the last numbers he heard were 4,000 uniform personnel and about 1,100 civilian employees. He said Lee County is expecting to attract anywhere from 5 to 10 percent of that crowd. “If from the 5,000, we got 250 to 500 families, then that’s a big number,” Joyce said. “That’s a little bit scary, actually. Two-hundred and fifty families in a period of 12 months would take up our current housing inventory. If we’re lucky enough to get that number, it would change our community. It would be one of the biggest impacts I can remember here since Coty moved more than 100 families here in the early 70s.” o Editor’s Note: The Herald’s Billy Liggett will be in Atlanta for the BRAC recruitment event Friday and will report on his trip for Sunday’s Herald.

N.C. Senate panel recommends $451 million borrowing package By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Senate panel recommended Tuesday that North Carolina borrow $451 million for construction and equipment purchases in state government and on college campuses, with boosters arguing itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to incur debt despite the sour economy because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an inexpensive time to build. A majority on the Senate Finance Committee agreed with university leaders urging approval of the debt package, more than half of which would go to complete engineering buildings at North Carolina State University in Raleigh and North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro. The chancellors of both schools told the panel the building would prepare thousands of students in growing fields, including nanonengineering and bioengineering at A&T. Most of the students would remain in the state, where they are more likely to create companies that would generate high-tech jobs for North Carolina

citizens, new N.C. State University Chancellor Randy Woodson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This certainly is the most difficult of times but we understand that investing in this future will continue to place North Carolina at the lead of the pack,â&#x20AC;? Woodson told lawmakers before all Democrats joined a few Republicans in voting for the package. The bill could come to the full Senate as early as Wednesday. The proposed $450.9 million package, which wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require statewide voter approval like traditional bonds, would set aside $161.5 million for N.C. Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth engineering building on the Centennial Campus in west Raleigh and $104.4 million to A&T to replace the current McNair Building on campus. There would also be $130 million for repairs and renovations to state and university buildings and $55 million to buy equipment for community colleges and University of North Carolina system campuses. Most GOP senators on the committee voted against the package, saying it makes no sense to borrow when the state

could face a $3 billion shortfall next year. The additional debt payment would send the state over a self-imposed debt limit generated by a committee led by State Treasurer Janet Cowell. For years, Democrats have identified this target as one they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to surpass. The package would add another $39 million to the more than $600 million in debt service the state already must pay annually on more than $6 billion in debt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would you do that in your personal life if you found out they were going to cut you back one day a week,â&#x20AC;? said Senate Minority Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you going to go out and buy a new car? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care how much you need and want. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to be doing that. And we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be doing that for the state.â&#x20AC;? The additional debt would raise the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual debt service to an amount equal to 4.25 percent of state revenues used for operating expenses. An annual debt study created by Cowellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee recommended that North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt service stay at or

below 4 percent to help protect its top-level credit rating. Deputy Treasurer Vance Holloman pointed out the study placed a ceiling on the debt of 4.75 percent. But one of the primary bill sponsors, GOP Sen. Richard Stevens of Wake County, said the state remains very conservative when it comes to borrowing. North Carolina is one of seven states without the top-level rating. The state could save up to 30 percent on construction cost as interest rates remain low and contractors are looking for work, said Sen. Tony Foriest, D-Alamance, the other primary sponsor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say to you we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford not to do this,â&#x20AC;? Stevens said. Even if the bill passes the Senate, it may have rough going this year in the House, which has drawn up a more austere budget than the Senate and may be less inclined to spend more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less interest in the House in capital (projects) this time than there may be in the Senate,â&#x20AC;? said House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange.

Bill on DNA samples draws debate from rights groups and mothers By EMERY P. DALESIO Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mothers who believe expanded DNA collection would have brought swifter justice for their murdered daughters faced off Tuesday against rights groups who warned against expanding databases of genetic markers. A state House judiciary committee then advanced a bill that would direct that DNA samples be collected from suspects arrested for serious crimes, rather than waiting for a conviction. The data would be destroyed if charges are dismissed or a suspect was never charged. Lawmakers are grappling with how to balance the promise of DNA tools. They are trying to tailor the good of preventing some crimes by identifying and locking up repeat offenders sooner against fears of misusing an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most intimate biological

identifiers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all concerned about this slippery slope that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting ready to get on,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Larry Hall, D-Durham. The federal government and nearly half the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s states have laws allowing collection of DNA samples without waiting for proof of a suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guilt. They include Alaska and Tennessee, which passed laws after suspects in high-profile slayings were identified with the help of DNA databases. The mothers of both victims urged North Carolina lawmakers to pass similar legislation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fewer cases will go cold,â&#x20AC;? said Karen Foster, who now lives near Fort Lauderdale, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will prevent so many crimes and it keeps the innocent out of jailâ&#x20AC;? when DNA shows a suspect canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the perpetrator.

1994 after leaving the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anchorage home to attend classes at the University of Alaska. Kenneth Dion was charged with the crime in 2007 and Foster said his trial is pending later this year. Dion had been serving a prison term in New Hampshire for a string of armed robberies. New Hampshire collects DNA samples from convicted criminals, but a backlog of samples meant Dionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DNA was not taken until two years after his 2003 conviction. New Hampshire collects DNA only from those convicted of certain violent crimes. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislature is considering expanding DNA testing to all convicted felons. Joan Berryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, college student Johnia Berry of Bristol, Tenn., was stabbed to death in 2004 in Knoxville, where she planned to attend graduate school at the University of Tennessee. The 21-year-old was attacked in bed by a burglar. Berryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents spent 2 1/2 years publicizing their daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unsolved case. A suspect who had voluntarily submitted his DNA after being charged with violating his probation was charged with Berryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slaying. The man apparently hanged him-

self in jail while awaiting trial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my prayer no family will have to go through what we did,â&#x20AC;? Berry said. But spokesmen for the American Civil Liberties Union and the gun-rights group Grass Roots North Carolina warned that expanding DNA collection poses problems. The state has too often seen data lost or stolen to believe that it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen to DNA data, said Grass Roots North Carolina spokesman John Landreth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DNA sample, that is valuable,â&#x20AC;? he said. Someone may â&#x20AC;&#x153;pay money for that.â&#x20AC;? While lawmakers have improved the billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s protections, the ACLU believes DNA data is different from photos and fingerprints of suspects and violates the U.S. Constitutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ban against unreasonable government searches and seizures, policy director Sarah Parker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an end-run around the Fourth Amendment,â&#x20AC;? Parker said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Johnia Berry web site: http://www.johniaberry. org Surviving Parents Coalition web site: http:// www.spcoalition.org/

N.C. House Fort Bragg soldiers developing plan if returning from Haiti Medicaid money fails RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; House Democrats are sticking with their North Carolina state government budget for now even though the plan contains nearly a half-billion dollars in federal Medicaid dollars that may never arrive. House Democrats said Tuesday theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re developing a contingency plan to take care of any shortfall that may develop should Congress fail to approve $24 billion for states to extend a more generous Medicaid formula for six more months. The U.S. House of Representatives last week approved a measure that left out the extra money. North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share would be $490 million. House Speaker Joe Hackney said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still optimistic Capitol Hill will approve the money since many states are counting on it. The House will debate its spending plan this week.

Cunningham courts seniors, defends benefits RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham is vowing to protect the Social Security retirement age as he courts North Carolina seniors head of this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runoff primary. Cunningham questioned Tuesday why his rival, Elaine Marshall, would even consider raising the retirement age. Marshall said in an interview with The Associated Press earlier this year that lawmakers are going to have to look at whether to raise the retirement age to keep Social Security finances in order. She pointed out that life expectancy is on the rise. Americans can get full benefits at age 67. Cunningham said Social Security would be fine if lawmakers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue to raid the fund. Marshall finished first in last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary, but faces Cunningham in a June 22 runoff.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported the Krispy Kreme bakery in downtown Raleigh reopened Tuesday after being closed for about a month for renovations. Troy Smith of Holly Springs was first in line. The teacher won a dozen doughnuts each week for a year. He stood in line for 14 hours, beginning Monday afternoon, to get the prize. The building had not been remodeled since it opened in that location in 1971. The original building had been built nearby in 1939. Smith won the same prize when he was first in line at a storefront Krispy Kreme at another location in Raleigh.

FORT BRAGG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Soldiers from the 65th Military Police Company will return to their North Carolina Army post after almost six months in earthquakestricken Haiti. About 120 Soldiers were scheduled to return to Fort Bragg on Tuesday afternoon. The soldiers were among the first units that flew to Haiti to help in recovery efforts after the massive earthquake on Jan. 12 that killed an estimated 200,000 people. Soldiers from the 65th Military Police Company provided aid and assisted with the relocation of about 2,700 people. The soldiers also inspected outgoing equipment to ensure there were no custom violations.

Man drowns while trying to help child

EMERALD ISLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina man has drowned while trying to rescue a child in the water off Emerald Isle. Multiple media outlets reported that 31-year-old Jeremy Lee Crandall of Hubert was pronounced dead Sunday at Carteret General Hospital. Emerald Isle police say several surfers tried to help three children who were in distress in the water. When emergency officials arrived, all three children were safe, but Crandall was missing. Witnesses say they last saw Crandall giving his surfboard to one of the drowning children. Emergency workers later found Crandall in the water.

Banking rules aim to slow foreclosure process RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New rules approved by North Carolina banking regulators could help fight home foreclosures. The rules taking effect Tuesday say that companies that service mortgages must stop foreclosure activity once a homeowner asks for a loan modification. Lenders now go ahead with the foreclosure process at the same time theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re negotiating with homeowners over how much they can pay on a mortgage. Because of backlogs from so many homeowners seeking help, processing delays have led to some needlessly losing their homes. The News & Observer of Raleigh reports the rules do not apply to banks or savings and loans and the North Carolina Banking Commission doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regulate federally chartered banks like Bank of America and Wells Fargo.

Man gets life in killing of restaurant owner WILMINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina man has been sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of beating an Oak Island restaurant owner with bedposts during a robbery. The StarNews of Wilmington reported Tuesday a jury found 21-year-old Joshua Caudill guilty of first-degree murder. Prosecutors say Caudill and another man waited for Phillip Cook to come home in July 2007, beating him and stealing $560. Authorities say the men and two women who drove them to Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home used the money to buy heroin. Caudillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer says they will appeal the verdict. Caudillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-defendant, 22-year-old James Dean Martin also was convicted of first-degree murder in April 2009 and is appealing.

(AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that federal authorities have opened criminal and civil investigations into the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst oil spill, and BP lost billions in market value when shares dropped in the first trading day since the company failed yet again to plug the gusher. Investors presumably realized the best chance to stop the leak was months away and there was no end in sight to the cleanup. As BP settled in for the longterm, Holder announced the criminal probe, though he would not specify the companies or individuals that might be targeted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will closely examine the actions of those involved in the spill. If we find evidence of illegal behavior, we will be extremely forceful in our response,â&#x20AC;? Holder said in New Orleans. With the ambitious â&#x20AC;&#x153;top killâ&#x20AC;? abandoned over the weekend, BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope to stanch the leak lies with two relief wells that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be finished until at least August. The company is, however, trying another risky temporary fix to contain the oil and siphon it to the surface by sawing through the leaking pipe and putting a cap over the spill. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the national incident commander, said Tuesday that BP was making its first major cut with super shears that weigh 46,000 pounds and resemble a giant garden tool. The company will also use a powerful diamond-edged cutter the resembles a deli slicer to try to make a clean cut above the blowout preventer, then will lower a cap over it with a rubber seal. After several failed attempts to divert or block the well, BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest attempt involves cutting the broken riser pipe, making it spew as much as 20 percent more oil into the water for days while engineers try to position a cap over the opening. Eric Smith, an associate director of the Tulane

Workers collect oil that washed ashore from last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion on Fourchon Beach Port Fourchon, La., Tuesday. Energy Institute, said the strategy had about a 50 to 70 percent chance to succeed. He likened it to trying to place a tiny cap on a fire hydrant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will they have enough weight to overcome the force of the flow?â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could create a lot of turbulence, but I do think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have enough weight.â&#x20AC;? BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said there was no guarantee the cut-and-cap effort would work. He did say the company has learned from past efforts to contain the leak, which gives them a better shot at success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very hopeful,â&#x20AC;? Suttles said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find out over the next couple of days.â&#x20AC;? The cleanup, relief wells and temporary fixes were being watched closely by President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration. The president gave the leaders of an independent commission investigating the spill orders to thoroughly examine the disaster and its causes, and to follow the facts wherever they lead, without fear or favor. The president said that if laws are insufficient, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be changed. He said that if government oversight wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tough enough, that will change, too. Meanwhile, BP spokesman Graham MacEwen

said the company was awaiting analysis of water samples taken in the Gulf before making a final determination on whether huge plumes of oil are suspended underwater. CEO Tony Hayward said Sunday there was â&#x20AC;&#x153;no evidenceâ&#x20AC;? of the plumes even though several scientists have made the claims. Billy Nungesser, president of Plaquemines Parish, fired back at Hayward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ought to take him offshore and dunk him 10 feet underwater and pull him up and ask him â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that all over your face?â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Nungesser. On the business side of things, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share price, which has fallen steadily since the start of the disaster, took a turn for the worse Tuesday, losing 15 percent to $6.13 in early afternoon trading on the London Stock Exchange. That was the lowest level in more than a year. The shares have now

lost more than a third of their value, wiping some $63 billion off BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value, since the explosion at the Deepwater Horizon oil rig six weeks ago. BP said early Tuesday it had spent $990 million so far on fighting and cleaning the spill, with multiple lawsuits for damages yet to be tallied. The Coast Guard also announced that it was replacing the admiral who has been the federal on-scene coordinator since the oil rig exploded, though the agency said the change was previously planned. Rear Adm. Mary Landry will now return to duties as commandant of the 8th Coast Guard District in New Orleans to focus on hurricane season preparations. BP failed to plug the leak Saturday after several attempts with its top kill, which shot mud and pieces of rubber into the well but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat back the pressure of the oil.

companies or individuals might be under investigation. But investors quickly dumped stocks across the energy industry. BP PLC, which operated the rig that caused the spill, fell almost 15 percent. Anadarko Petroleum Corp., which has a stake in the rig that exploded, tumbled nearly 20 percent. Oil services company Halliburton Inc. fell almost 15 percent. Analysts have said the oil spill has been among the many issues nagging at investors in recent weeks. Among the fears in the market is the potential economic hit from the spill. But Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement raised the possibility that oil companies might have to pay out huge amounts in fines, or see their operations hampered by a government investigation. Trading was choppy for much of the day before Holderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement, a sign that investors werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure where to put their money. Investors were juggling worries about Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt problems with upbeat reports on U.S. manufacturing and construction.

Hewlett-Packard to cut 9K jobs in services unit NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; HewlettPackard Co., the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest information-technology company, plans to lay off about 9,000 employees as it tries to cut costs in its backoffice computing centers and deepens its use of software, rather than people, to do some of the work that those hubs require. The changes to these data centers, which are clusters of computers that run websites and process information for HPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corporate customers, will be made over about three years, the company said Tuesday. The layoffs amount to about 3 percent of HPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s global work force, which had 304,000 employees as of October, the most recent figure available. HP said it will take $1 billion in accounting charges, part of which will be used for severance to the laid-off workers. But it also said it plans to replace two-thirds of the jobs elsewhere in the company, by hiring 6,000 people to boost its global sales and delivery staff. Like most companies that offer such services, HP has data centers around the world. The company has more than 100 centers that it operates for its customers and plans to cut that number roughly in half, but it did not specify the locations. HPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive for better productivity and automation in data centers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the fact that most of the jobs could be replaced â&#x20AC;&#x201D; reflect healthy demand for computing services overall and the rewards waiting for providers that can automate as much as possible.

Primary for Dem seeking to be first black Ala. gov MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The congressman seeking to become Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first black governor faced off Tuesday against a white Democratic primary opponent who has the support of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four major black political groups. Primaries were also being held in Mississippi and New Mexico, and GOP voters in Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5th Congressional District were deciding the fate of U.S. Rep. Parker Griffith, a former Democrat who switched to the Republican Party in December. In the Democratic primary for Alabama governor, U.S. Rep. Artur Davis, a Harvard lawyer who led President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign here in 2008, was running against Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks. Neither was a clear favorite. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional civil rights organizations backed Sparks after Davis voted against Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal health care overhaul. But Davis had endorsements from Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., a civil rights pioneer from Alabama, and Mobileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first black mayor, Sam Jones.

Stocks turn sharply lower in late trading NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stocks took another late-day dive Tuesday after the government said it was starting criminal and civil investigations into the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped almost 113 points. Its plunge came shortly before the close and minutes after Attorney General Eric Holder made the announcement. Stocks in energy companies and oil service providers tumbled on the news, and other stocks followed. Holder would not say which

DIETING FOR DOLLARS

Gores to separate after 40 years By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, are separating after 40 years of marriage that included a White House run when their sunny relationship offered a counterpoint to President Bill Clinton’s philandering. According to an e-mail circulated among the couple’s associates on Tuesday, the Gores said it was “a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration.” Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confirmed the statement came from the Gores, but declined to comment further. The Gores were telling friends they “grew apart” after 40 years of marriage and there was no affair involved, according to two longtime close associates and family friends, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because it was a personal matter. The associates said the Gores, over time, had carved out separate lives, with the former vice president on the road frequently. One of the associates said: “Their lives had gotten more and

Then-Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Al Gore gets a kiss from his wife Tipper during a campaign rally at the University of Michigan in Dearborn, Mich. on Nov. 5, 2000. Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, are separating after 40 years of marriage. more separated.” Al Gore lost the 2000 presidential election to Republican George W. Bush. He has since campaigned worldwide to draw attention to climate change, which in 2007 led to a Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar for the documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.” The Gores, who were married on May 19, 1970, at the National Cathedral in Washington, crafted an image as a happily married couple during his eight-year stint as vice president in the 1990s and a presidential candidate in 2000. The couple famously exchanged a long kiss during the 2000 Democratic presidential

convention. The image of their warm relationship stood in sharp contrast to the Clinton marriage rocked by Bill Clinton’s affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, a scandal that hung over Gore’s own presidential campaign. Al Gore at the time said his wife was “someone I’ve loved with my whole heart since the night of my high school senior prom.” In a speech to the 2004 Democratic convention, Gore said he wanted to thank “with all my heart my children and grandchildren, and especially my beloved partner in life, Tipper.”

Tipper said in a 2000 campaign interview with The Associated Press that Al once gave her a Weedeater for her birthday but had learned to be more sensitive over the years and cared about what she wanted. “He’s very much a gentleman you know, with me around the house,” Tipper said. “I know he’s dog tired and he could be sitting down and doing something and I need something across the room, he’ll get up and get it.” On Halloween, Al and Tipper Gore would dress up in costume and greet trick-or-treaters who made their way to the vice president’s mansion. One year, she was dressed as a puppy and he was dressed as Underdog. Tipper Gore was a co-founder in 1985 of the Parents Music Resource Center, which pushed for parental warning labels on music with violent or sexually explicit lyrics. The group drew the ire of musicians ranging from Dee Snider of Twisted Sister to Frank Zappa, who said warning labels were unnecessary and a danger to freedom. Tipper Gore later became friends with the late Zappa’s wife, Gail, and played drums and sang backup on daughter Diva Zappa’s album in 1999.

MILITARY

Glitch shows how much military relies on GPS By DAN ELLIOTT Associated Press Writer

DENVER — A problem that rendered as many as 10,000 U.S. military GPS receivers useless for days is a warning to safeguard a system that enemies would love to disrupt, a defense expert says. The Air Force has not said how many weapons, planes or other systems were affected or whether any were in use in Iraq or Afghanistan. But the problem, blamed on incompatible software, highlights the military’s reliance on the Global Positioning System and the need to protect technology that has become essential for protecting troops, tracking vehicles and targeting weapons. “Everything that moves uses it,” said John Pike, director of Globalsecurity.org, which tracks military and homeland security news. “It is so central to the American style of war that you just couldn’t

leave home without it.” The problem occurred when new software was installed in ground control systems for GPS satellites on Jan. 11, the Air Force said. Officials said between 8,000 at 10,000 receivers could have been affected, out of more than 800,000 in use across the military. In a series of e-mails to The Associated Press, the Air Force initially blamed a contractor for defective software in the affected receivers but later said it was a compatibility issue rather than a defect. The Air Force didn’t immediately respond to a request for clarification. The Air Force said it hadn’t tested the affected receivers before installing the new software in the ground control system. One program still in development was interrupted but no weapon systems already in use were grounded as a

result of the problem, the Air Force said. The Air Force said some applications with the balky receivers suffered no problems from the temporary GPS loss. An Air Force document said the Navy’s X-47B, a jet-powered, carrier-based drone under development, was interrupted by the glitch. Air Force officials would not comment beyond that on what systems were affected. Navy spokeswoman Jamie Cosgrove confirmed the X-47B’s receivers were affected but said it caused no program delays. At least 100 U.S. defense systems rely on GPS, including aircraft, ships, armored vehicles, bombs and artillery shells. Because GPS makes weapons more accurate, the military needs fewer warheads and fewer personnel to take out targets. But a leaner, GPS-dependent military

becomes dangerously vulnerable if the technology is knocked out. James Lewis, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the glitch was a warning “in the context where people are every day trying to figure out how to disrupt GPS.” The Air Force said it took less than two weeks for the military to identify the cause and begin devising and installing a temporary fix. It did not say how long it took to install the temporary fix everywhere it was needed but said a permanent fix is being distributed. All the affected receivers were manufactured by a division of Trimble Navigation Ltd. of Sunnyvale, Calif., according to the Air Force. The military said it ran tests on some types of receivers before it upgraded ground control systems with the new software in January, but the tests didn’t include the receivers that had problems.

More employers offer workers weight loss incentives By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer

ATLANTA — How much money would it take to get you to lose some serious weight? $100? $500? Many employers are betting they can find your price. At least a third of U.S. companies offer financial incentives, or are planning to introduce them, to get their employees to lose weight or get healthier in other ways. “There’s been an explosion of interest in this,” said Dr. Kevin Volpp, director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Health Incentives. Take OhioHealth, a hospital chain whose workforce is mostly overweight. The company last year embarked on a program that paid employees to wear pedometers and get paid for walking. The more they walk, the more they win — up to $500 a year. Anecdotal success stories are everywhere. Half of the 9,000 employees at the chain’s five main hospitals signed up, more than $377,000 in rewards have already been paid out, and many workers tell of weight loss and a sudden need for slimmer clothes. But does will this kind of effort really put a permanent dent in American’s seemingly intractable obesity problem? Not likely. “It’s probably a waste of time,” said Kelly Brownell, director of Yale University’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity. Brownell’s assessment is harsher than most. But the science seems to back him up. Only about 15 to 20 U.S. studies have tried to evaluate the effect of financial incentives on weight loss. Most of those studies were small and didn’t look at whether such measures worked beyond a few months. None could make conclusions about how much money it takes to make a lasting difference for most people.

Perhaps the largest effort to date was an observational study by Cornell University. It looked at seven employer programs and the results were depressing: The average weight loss in most was little more than a pound. Sure, there are grounds for optimism. Smaller experiments report some success. And other studies have shown promising results against tobacco. One study published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine, co-authored by Volpp, found that cash rewards of a few hundred dollars nearly tripled quitsmoking rates. One problem: “Food is more difficult than tobacco,” said Steven Kelder, an epidemiology professor at the University of Texas School of Public Health. While cigarettes can be addictive, people don’t need to smoke to live, and advertising and clean-air restrictions curb tobacco’s presence. People must eat, however, and sugary drinks and fatty snacks are everywhere, Kelder and others said. Health officials lament that more than two-thirds of American adults are overweight and one-third obese, and lecture on fat’s role in deaths from diabetes, heart disease and other conditions. The problem has a huge economic impact, too, with obese workers costing U.S. private employers an estimated $45 billion or more annually in health care costs and lost labor. That’s according to a report by the Conference Board, a research group focused on management and the marketplace. In a campaign led by Michelle Obama, federal officials are emphasizing several approaches to slim the nation. Food companies, worried about potential antiobesity rules and laws, have publicly endorsed the first lady’s message and recently pledged to offer lower calorie foods, change recipes and cut portion sizes.

That even applies to the seemingly shortchanged 15-year-old RJ Berger, who sizes himself up for the audience as â&#x20AC;&#x153;scrawny and weird-looking, awkward and pale.â&#x20AC;? The hero of the new MTV scripted comedy â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hard Times of RJ Berger,â&#x20AC;? he follows in a rich TV tradition of winsome misfit adolescents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kids with smarts, creativity and spunk lurking just beneath the surface of their systematic victimhood. But RJ comes with a bonus tucked away in his boxer shorts: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely well-endowed. Thus does â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hard Timesâ&#x20AC;? raise issues that consume males from their early adolescence onward: How much is big enough? Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I have more? Why is life so unfair? A show aimed at teen and twentysomething guys (plus girls with their own interest in the subject), â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hard Timesâ&#x20AC;? portrays the ultimate wish fulfillment of its primary audience, while reminding the viewer that no blessing comes without a cost. Here is a young man whose gift (never witnessed by viewers, of course, and thus enhanced even more in the mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye) is plenty

And yet, doggonit, RJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perfect. For RJ, a large penis is as much a curse as a blessing, as much a burden as an object of pride. As what could be described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wonder Yearsâ&#x20AC;? meets â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boogie Nights,â&#x20AC;? the 12-episode series premieres Sunday at 11 p.m. EDT following â&#x20AC;&#x153;The MTV Movie Awards.â&#x20AC;? It focuses on RJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relatable misadventures in high school, as well as his relatable ambivalence about his manhood, however much the physical evidence might scream â&#x20AC;&#x153;case closed!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hard Timesâ&#x20AC;? bears a passing resemblance to HBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hung.â&#x20AC;? In that

drama series, which returns for its second season June 27, a financially struggling family man and high school teacher becomes a male prostitute. But RJ, who is played with understated forbearance by Paul Iacono, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nearly so desperate. His struggles are more those of self-acceptance and gaining acceptance of his fellow teens. RJ is free to stew over such dilemmas in private until, in the premiere, the cat (so to speak) is out of the bag. In a wardrobe malfunction during a basketball game, his secret is exposed to the whole student body. RJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nerdy, marginal presence is instantly revised among all who

behold him. From now on, it seems, he will be identified on campus with a blend of envy, jeering and a bit of the yuck factor. What might very well serve as an advantage is also likely to further stigmatize him. The long and the short of it: What is expected of RJ is how to deal with his package deal. RJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend, the sexobsessed and sex-deprived Miles (Jareb Dauplaise) is thrilled to learn of RJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previously undisclosed bounty. Miles bets he will seem desirable to girls by mere association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our golden ticket!â&#x20AC;? Miles rejoices. After the revelation, RJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stalker-ish hanger-on Lily (Kara Taitz) is all the more interested in RJ. But his sole, unrequited love interest remains the beautiful Jenny (Amber Lancaster), whose boyfriend is Max (Jayson Blair), the meanest jock in school. Now Max gives RJ more grief than before, mocking him (jealously?) as a freak. Meanwhile, a friendship blossoms between RJ and sweet Jenny, who by chance are paired as study buddies. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a friendship challenged in the third episode when, playing the romantic leads in the school musical, they share a kiss. RJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sudden onstage tumescence literally stops the show.

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A son of former ABC News anchor Ted Koppel was found dead in an apartment after a day of bar hopping with a man heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just met, a law enforcement official said Tuesday. A drunken Andrew Koppel, 40, had been placed in a back bedroom of the Manhattan apartment to sleep it off and apparently Koppel had been dead at least four hours before anyone realized, said Belinda Caban, who lives in the apartment. He was declared dead around 1:30 a.m. Monday, New York Police Department Detective John Sweeney said. The cause of his death hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been determined, but no evidence indicated criminality, police said. Ted Koppel is the former longtime anchor of the ABC News show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nightline.â&#x20AC;? Andrew Koppel was one of his four children. A telephone call to the elder Koppelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s publicist wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately returned Tuesday. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an acquaintance of

Ted Koppel, on Tuesday offered his condolences to the Koppel family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very sad,â&#x20AC;? Bloomberg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know Ted casually, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how anybody deals with losing a child.â&#x20AC;? Andrew Koppel, who lived in Queens, had been drinking heavily during the day with Russell Wimberly, whom he met at a bar, the law enforcement official said. The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation into the death wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completed. Koppel started drinking at Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bar and Restaurant in Manhattan and went to several other locations with Wimberly, the official said, before winding up at the Washington Heights neighborhood apartment owned by Caban, Wimberlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend. Caban said Tuesday that she had never seen Koppel before and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize he was related to the news anchor, who retired in 2005. She said Wimberly arrived at her apartment holding up Koppel, who was visibly drunk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told him to sit him down, and he was flopped down in the chair. He kept flopping on my chair,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Bring him to the room. Let him wear it off. Let him go into the room and lay down and wear it off.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Caban said she and Wimberly spoke for hours and he went in to check on Koppel and said he was snoring and had a pulse. After six hours, she told Wimberly it was time to go and for him to take Koppel home. She said when they went to the bedroom to rouse Koppel, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t moving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He went to pick him up and he flopped down, and I said something is wrong with him,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tried to sit him up. He was pale. I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;This man is dead. Something is wrong with him. This man must be dead.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; She said they called 911 and emergency workers estimated Koppel had been dead about four hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just so sorry,â&#x20AC;? Caban said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so sorry he died in my house.â&#x20AC;? Phone calls to numbers listed for Wimberly rang unanswered Tuesday. Caban said she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what he had to drink.

Israel, Egypt ease Gaza blockade after deadly raid

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel and Egypt signaled a temporary easing of the Gaza Strip blockade Tuesday following harsh international condemnation of the deadly Israeli raid on an aid flotilla en route to the sealed-off Palestinian territory. Egypt said it was freely opening its border with Gaza for the first time in more than a year to allow in humanitarian aid, setting off a mad rush to the crossing by thousands of residents, while an Israeli official said there is an “ongoing dialogue” with the international community on how to expand the amount of goods entering the area. At the same time, Israel began expelling some of the nearly 700 activists it rounded up in the naval raid, and strongly rejected criticism of its heavyhanded tactics. The government said late Tuesday it would deport almost all of them within the next two days, but about 50 would be held for investigation into their part in the violence on at sea. Israel pledged to halt a new attempt by proPalestinian groups to sail more ships into Gaza, and claimed some of the arrested activists carried weapons and large quantities of cash, raising questions about whether they were mercenaries. Worldwide condemnation has been flooding in since Israeli naval commandos halted the aid flotilla in international waters overnight Monday, setting off a melee that left nine activists dead and dozens wounded. Turkey, an unofficial backer of the flotilla, has led the criticism, accusing Israel of committing a “massacre,” and the U.N. Security Council demanded an impartial investigation. There were signs, however, that the long-

A Palestinian militant from the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, waves a Turkish flag in front of burning tires at the entrance of the Palestinian refugee camp of Ein el-Hilweh, near the southern port city of Sidon, Lebanon, Tuesday, during a protest against Israel’s deadly commando raid on ships taking humanitarian aid to the blockaded Gaza Strip. term strategic partnership between Israel and Turkey — the Jewish state’s most important Muslim ally — would endure. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak spoke to his Turkish counterpart Tuesday, and they agreed the raid wouldn’t affect weapons deals, defense officials said. Among them is the planned delivery to Turkey of $183 million in Israeli drones this summer. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were discussing sensitive military ties. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton supported a Security Council statement that condemned the “acts” that cost the lives of the proPalestinian activists off the Gaza coast. But U.S. officials did not say whether they blamed Israel or the activists for the bloodshed. In remarks to reporters at the State Department, Clinton did not call for an end to the blockade, but she pressed Israel to allow greater access for humanitarian relief supplies, “including reconstruction

and building supplies.” In a jab at Israel, Clinton said the situation in Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas and under an Israeli blockade, is “unsustainable and unacceptable.” The flotilla was meant to draw attention to the Israeli and Egyptian blockade of Gaza, imposed three years ago after Hamas militants violently seized power. Israel says the blockade is needed to prevent Hamas, which has fired thousands of rockets into the Jewish state, from building up its arsenal. Critics note the closure has failed to hurt Hamas, while damaging Gaza’s already weak economy. Late Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected world criticism, telling top security officials that Israel must prevent Gaza’s militant Hamas rulers from rearming. “In Gaza, there is a terrorist state under Iranian sponsorship,” he said. “Opening a sea route to Gaza would present a grave danger to our citizens. Therefore we are

maintaining our policy of a naval blockade.” A new confrontation appeared to be brewing. Greta Berlin said the Free Gaza Movement, which organized the flotilla, would not be deterred and that another cargo vessel was off the coast of Italy en route to Gaza. A second boat carrying about three dozen passengers is expected to join it, with both arriving in the region late this week or early next week, she said. “This initiative is not going to stop,” she said from the group’s base in Cyprus. Despite the rising tension, Netanyahu’s spokesman, Mark Regev, indicated Israel would consider ways to ease the blockade to allow more goods into Gaza — a policy that has been quietly under way in recent months. “We have been expanding the assistance that has been going into the Gaza Strip — both the volume and the variety of goods — and we have ongoing dialogue with the international community,” he said.

Al-Qaida: No. 3 official killed with family WASHINGTON (AP) — Al-Qaida announced Monday that its No. 3 official, Mustafa alYazid, had been killed along with members of his family — perhaps one of the most severe blows to the terror movement since the U.S. campaign against al-Qaida began. A U.S. official said al-Yazid was believed to have died in a U.S. missile strike. A statement posted on an al-Qaida Website said alYazid, which it described as the organization’s top commander in Afghanistan, was killed along with his wife, three daughters, a grandchild and other men, women and children but did not say how or where. The statement did not give an exact date for al-Yazid’s death, but it was dated by the Islamic calendar month of “Jemadi al-Akhar,” which falls in May. A U.S. official in Washington said word was “spreading in extremist circles” of his death in Pakistan’s tribal areas in the past two weeks. His death would be a major blow to al-Qaida, which in December “lost both its internal and external operations chiefs,” the official said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information. The Egyptian-born al-Yazid, also known as Sheik Saeed al-Masri, was a founding member of al-Qaida and the group’s prime conduit to Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahri. He was key to day-to-day control, with a hand in everything from finances to operational planning, the U.S. official said.

Ties with Israel may outlast Turkish anger at raid ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Israel’s deadly raid on a Gaza-bound aid ship has ignited unprecedented anger in Turkey and driven the Jewish state’s relations with its most important Muslim ally to their lowest point in six decades. There are signs, however, that the countries’ long-term strategic alliance and military ties will endure.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan furiously told parliament Tuesday that the “bloody massacre” of at least four Turkish activists among nine passengers slain by Israeli naval commandos was a turning point in the long-standing alliance. “Nothing will be the same again,” Erdogan said, gesturing angrily, his voice shaking at times. Thousands of Turks staged protests across the country and pockets of demonstrators shouted “down with Israel!” near the Israeli ambassador’s residence — an unusual sight in one of the capital’s richest districts. The pro-Islamic newspaper Yeni Safak described the Israeli troops as “The children of Hitler” in a banner headline. But other officials were delivering messages of restraint and Turkey said it was not canceling plans to accept $183 million (euro150.56 million) worth of Israeli drone planes this summer.

Taliban dismiss Afghan peace meet before it starts KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Taliban on Tuesday dismissed this week’s national peace conference in Afghanistan even before it had begun, threatening death to the 1,600 delegates in cassette messages distributed by the insurgent leadership. The three-day meeting, which begins Wednesday in a giant tent at Kabul Polytechnic University, will discuss how to reconcile with the fighters — even as the U.S. rushes in more troops to ramp up the nearly nine-year war. But the meeting could also open fissures in a society deeply divided after decades of conflict. President Hamid Karzai will use the conference, known as a “peace jirga,” to seek endorsement of his plan to offer economic incentives to Taliban and other insurgent fighters willing to leave the battlefield. On the eve of the conference, the Taliban said in a statement to news organizations that the jirga does not represent the Afghan people and was aimed at “securing the interest of foreigners.”

LeBRON SAYS CAVS HAVE EDGE IN FREE AGENCY CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James says the Cleveland Cavaliers “have an edge” to sign him when the NBA’s free agency period opens. In an interview with CNN’s Larry King to be broadcast later this week, James says Cleveland has a good chance to re-sign him because “it’s comfortable. I’ve got a lot of memories here.” The league’s two-time MVP taped the interview at his home near Akron on Tuesday. The segment will air Friday on CNN’s “Larry King Live,” capping the program’s 25th anniversary celebration on the network. Other than his postgame interview, James previously hadn’t talked to the media since the Cavs were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs by Boston.

NBA WADE INSISTS HE HAS NO WISH LIST — YET

MIAMI (AP) — Dwyane Wade insists he still hasn’t started thinking about free agency. With four trials now settled in one swoop, the Miami Heat star says that’s finally about to change. Before leaving a Miami courtroom Tuesday, moments after the settlements in a restaurant case and three others were announced, Wade told The Associated Press he has not put together his “wish list” for the offseason, nor has he asked any other potential free agents about their plans. He did repeat one thing: He wants to stay in Miami, saying “you know that hasn’t changed.” But to do that, he wants to see roster upgrades, which Heat president Pat Riley will desperately try to make happen starting with the July 1 opening of the NBA free agency window.

NHL BEST OVERNIGHT RATING FOR GAME 2 ON RECORD

NEW YORK (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks’ win Monday night earned the best overnight rating for a Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals on record. The Blackhawks’ 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers drew a 4.1 rating and 7 share on NBC, the highest overnight rating since at least 1975, which is as far back as the records go. The rating was up 21 percent from last year’s 3.4 for Red Wings-Penguins. The game earned a 25.1 rating and 39 share in Chicago. The rating is the percentage of all homes with televisions tuned into a program, while the share is the percentage of all TVs in use at the time. Overnight ratings measure the nation’s largest markets.

NJCAA Division III Region 10 Conference. “With the new players we have coming in and the group we have returning, we should be pretty good this year,” said Connor. “We’ve got good things going on at Central Carolina and if we can get after it on the court and in the classroom, we’ll be very good.” Highlighting the class are two players from Sanford. Southern Lee’s Chris Clegg and former Lee Christian sharpshooter Cameron Smith will be a part of the Cougars’ future. Clegg will be reuniting with former Cava-

Clegg, who stands 6-foot-6, will see some time at the forward position. “Chris Clegg got some great coaching from (Southern Lee coach) Gaston Collins,” said Connor. “He was a part of a great program and we’re excited about what he can bring to the table. He hasn’t even reached his potential yet. He’s one of the most improved players

DUKE LACROSSE

By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer

PARIS — There will be a Grand Slam semifinal without Roger Federer for the first time in six years. French Open upset specialist Robin Soderling struck again Tuesday, rallying past defending champion Federer in a Federer rainy quarterfinal, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4. That ended Federer’s record streak of reaching the semifinals in 23 consecutive major events. The shocker was the second pulled off by Soderling in as many years at Roland Garros. He ended the reign of four-time champion Rafael Nadal in the fourth round a year ago, clearing the path for Federer to win his first French Open title and complete a career Grand Slam. Federer beat Soderling in last year’s final. Before Tuesday, Federer was 12-0 against the bigswinging Swede, winning 28 of their 30 sets. But Soderling’s recent improvement was evident as he controlled rallies from the baseline with his thunderous strokes. Federer found himself on the defensive and unable to move forward. “I’m disappointed to a certain degree,” Federer said. “I didn’t think I played a bad match. He came up with some great tennis. It’s much easier to digest this way.” Seeded fifth, Soderling saved a set point in the third when he won a frantic rally, then won the set to take the lead for good shortly after a rain delay of 75 minutes.

Lacrosse title brings closure to Duke seniors By JOEDY McCREARY AP Sports Writer

DURHAM — After scoring the goal that won Duke its first lacrosse championship, C.J. Costabile emerged from the on-field pile and saw senior Tom Clute. “He’s not an emotional guy, and to see a tear in his eye and just kind of a look of relief, like, ’We finally did it,’ I almost broke down,” Costabile said Tuesday. Clute and the rest of the upperclassmen had good reason for getting choked up. They finally had some closure. Their roller-coaster careers began with “Duke lacrosse”

holding a much different meaning — when an infamous, now-discredited rape case was brought against three players. “Four years have gone by really fast and really slow,” said senior defender Parker McKee. “Incredible highs. Incredible lows. ... But to go out this way, I’m so pumped for myself, so pumped for (classmates) Max (Quinzani) and (Terrence Molinari), because we did have a difficult decision to make, and we made the right one.” Costabile did his part to help send the seniors out on top. Duke won the school’s first NCAA championship in men’s lacrosse earlier this week by beating Notre Dame 6-5 in sudden-death overtime on

Costabile’s goal 5 seconds into the extra session. From an on-the-field perspective, the Blue Devils can savor this title because it meant they’ve finally broken through their most frustrating stumbling block, having reached the title game twice before but losing both times to perennial nemesis Johns Hopkins in 2005 and ’07. What happened during the year in between made it even more significant. In a salacious case that dominated headlines for months, a woman hired to perform as a stripper at a March 2006 team party told police she

Memorial Day and racing M

emorial Day 2010 has come and gone. Three races in one day. It was a race fanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heaven. Of course, that is not what Memorial Day is about and we will discuss that a little later. But for right now letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk racing. I woke up around 6 Sunday morning and let the dogs out. Then I snoozed for a few minutes before going on my morning run. It was beautiful morning for a run and as I was turning back onto my street and heading home I remembered that the Turkish Gran Prix started at 7:30 a.m. I was going to miss it so I picked up my speed, and when I walked in Sue was watching something else. So I continued running back to the bedroom and turned the TV to the Speed Channel. There it was! Formula 1 in all its glory! I checked on the leaders and immediately I realized something was wrong. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize any of them. Well, I did recognize one name â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Michael Schumacher. I think he has won several of these races and maybe a couple of championships. He is similar to NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jimmie Johnson. Everybody got tired of him winning, too. Anyway, I watched some more and thought, who is Mark Webber? The last time I saw his name I think he was bowling professionally on ESPN. In fact, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if his name has one â&#x20AC;&#x153;bâ&#x20AC;? or two. He was leading, but they

had only run 14 laps. I did notice that Web(b)er was leading their point standings. Their point system is um, different. And I thought NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was odd. When I read through the paper I saw that Leonardo Dicaprio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or was it George Hamilton? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; won the race. Wait. It was Leonard Hamilton. Sorry for the mistake. I know who he is! He has won a Formula 1 title, too. When I saw the race Hamilton was running second or third but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the conclusion because I went to church. Yes I did! After all, it was Memorial Sunday and we were honoring those who had gone before us protecting our freedom. More about that later. After attending a spaghetti luncheon at church that one of our college students was having to raise money for a mission trip, we walked in the door just as the last of the pace laps were taking place in Indianapolis. Who could believe our timing? I changed clothes and got ready to relax for a couple of hours. See, I had to be back at church at 4 to get ready

for a Fifth Sunday sing at 6 p.m., and before that I had choir practice at 5. So the rest of my evening was full. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to see the ending of the Indy 500 and after watching the replays I wish I had. It sounded like a good race and I really was disappointed that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to see Ashley Judd celebrate. I found it funny that on the radio he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Dario Franchitti, he was Ashley Juddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband. Congrats to Chip Ganassi. He was the winning owner at Indy and then jumped on a jet and flew to Charlotte where we all almost saw his teams make it a sweep. Thanks to the DVR I did get to watch the Coca Cola 600. Our 5th Sunday sing started on time. That was about 16 minutes before the green flag. The praise group from Goldston United Methodist, of which I am a part of, was scheduled to sing about halfway through the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program. Well, I have to admit that I really wanted to be at home watching the race, but once the music started my desires changed. I started enjoying myself and I enjoyed all of the music. We did our songs, I listened to two young men sing and then we left. I got home, and while eating some ribs that had been slowly cooking in the oven while we were singing, I started watching the tape of the race. I really liked that! I was able to fast-forward through all of the com-

mercials and especially that stupid NAPA ad where those two guys are singing. Ridiculous! So I eventually caught up with the live action when there was around 80 laps left. It turned out to be a good race. Really good for me! On my fantasy race team I had Kurt Busch, Jamie McMurray, David Reutimann and Sam Hornish Jr. This race started the second part of our season and I am in first place. I now know what a blind pig feels like once it has found an acorn. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column was not necessarily about racing. It was more about how I spent a Sunday and a Sunday afternoon. I was still able to take a nap during the Indy race but the rest of the day I took care of my responsibilities. I attended the church of my choice and then enjoyed music that should have been a priority. I was still able to see the races and still able to have fun doing so. As I think back we need to be more aware of what Memorial Day stands for and realize that a lot of men and women have died while protecting our freedom. We would not be able to enjoy the little things in life if not for their bravery and dedication.I want to say a personal thanks to all who have died representing our country and to all who are still fighting. See you after Pocono. Gaines is a NASCAR columnist for The Herald.

NASCAR NOTES

Red Bull swaps crews for Mears, Speed MOORESVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Red Bull Racing has swapped the crew chiefs and key team members for drivers Scott Speed and Casey Mears. The swap comes two days after Mears and Speed finished 29th and 30th in the Coca-Cola 600. Ryan Pemberton will begin working with Speed this weekend at Pocono. Jimmy Elledge will take over Mearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team. Pemberton has been crew chief for the No. 83 team since the start of last season. Driver Brian Vickers recently announced he will miss the remainder of the season while undergoing treatment on blood clots in his lungs and

legs, and Mears has replaced him. Elledge joined Red Bull in 2008 after five years with Chip Ganassi Racing. He was crew chief for Mears during their time at Ganassi.

Divers get a glimpse of safer Watkins Glen circuit WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers Jeff Gordon, Jeff Burton, and Marcos Ambrose have completed the first half of a two-day tire test at Watkins Glen International, which has been altered to improve safety.

After rain prevented the drivers from the Goodyear tire test Tuesday morning, all three drivers spent four hours in the afternoon traversing the 2.4-mile layout. The changes at Watkins Glen include the removal of gravel traps and grass, the installation of a SAFER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Steel and Foam Energy Reduction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; barriers, and relocated guard rails. The renovation project affects all series that race on the circuit and includes improvements to the inner loop and turns 9-11. The drivers are scheduled to be back on the track Wednesday for more testing.

KBM shuts down truck team after promotion MOORESVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kyle Busch Motorsports is shutting down one of his financially strapped Truck Series teams after driver Tayler Malsam accepted a promotion to the Nationwide Series. Malsam will drive the No. 10 Toyota for Braun Racing starting Saturday at Nashville.

Mallard Cove Apartments NO LIMITS! Although orthodontic treatment with braces, retainers, and other orthodontic appliances is usually associated with young children and adolescents, there is no age limit to orthodontic treatment. Whether it is a child or an adult who has a problem with overcrowded, improperly aligned teeth, the orthodontist can be expected to treat it successfully. However, adults can expect their treatment to take about 10 to 20 percent longer, owing to the difference in physiologic responses of the oral tissues in the mouths of adults versus younger patients. Because an adultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bone structure is denser and more ďŹ rmly set, it can be expected to take a bit longer to respond to the gentle pressure exerted by orthodontic appliances. No one is too old to wear braces. In fact, about 25 percent of all orthodontic patients are adults. Health, happiness and self-esteem are vitally important to adults as well as children. At SANDHILLS ORTHODONTICS, we provide patients of all ages with the highest-quality orthodontic care in a friendly, comfortable environment. Please call us today at (919) 718-9188 to schedule a free consultation. Our ofďŹ ce is located at 1129 Carthage St. Committed to helping you achieve the smile you deserve a healthy, beautiful one! P.S. If adult orthodontic patients are self-conscious about the appearance of standard braces, there are a variety of alternative options, including the Invisalign system.

Lakers-Celtics to make history, meet for 12th time

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Phil Jackson knows the story by heart, even if his players only seem interested in the last two chapters. Their coach is steeped in the history of pro basketball’s most compelling rivalry, familiar with every twist in the Boston Celtics’ half-century of championship clashes with the Los Angeles Lakers. The NBA’s most decorated franchises have battled through heartbreaks, high stakes and neck-aches while forging a true pro sports rivalry, that rarest of commodities in the age of free agency. Jackson doesn’t mind that almost everybody playing in the franchises’ 12th NBA finals meeting, starting Thursday night at Staples Center, doesn’t have much of a grasp on the history sewn into the uniforms they wear. So what if Ron Artest claims total ignorance of the Lakers’ past, while Kobe Bryant says he couldn’t care less who Los Angeles played? So what if the deep-seated hatred between the franchises’ fans doesn’t seem to be truly savored by nearly anybody except Paul Pierce, the Los Angeles native turned Celtics star? When asked why the kids these days just don’t get it, Jackson smirks and nimbly sidesteps the trap set for grumpy old men and history buffs. “That rivalry is renewed ... it seems like every 20 years, and now here it is,” Jackson said.

MLB BRIEFS Tigers trade LHP Willis to Arizona for RHP Buckner LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Detroit Tigers have traded left-handed pitcher Dontrelle Willis and cash to the Arizona Diamondbacks for right-hander Billy Buckner. The 28-year-old Willis was designated for assignment on Sunday, giving the Tigers up to 10 days to make a move with him. He was making $12 million this year. Willis was 1-2 with a 4.98 ERA this season. The former NL Rookie of the Year and All-Star helped Florida toward the World Series championship in 2003. Buckner was 0-3 with an 11.08 ERA in three starts for Arizona this season. The 26-year-old righty has spent four years in the majors.

MLB plans ‘stern’ talk with ump who tossed Oswalt

Roethlisberger back at Steelers’ practice PITTSBURGH (AP) — A slimmed-down Ben Roethlisberger whistled practice passes to his receivers for the first time in five weeks, and a teammate didn’t need to watch video tape to know what he’d just seen. “He’s been working hard at home,” defensive end Brett Keisel said. “He wants to be great this year. So, hopefully, he will (be).” Even if considerable repair work needs to be done, on the field and off it. The two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback didn’t talk to reporters after practicing Tuesday for the first time since drawing a six-game suspension April 21 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

The penalty resulted from a Georgia college student’s allegation that he sexually assaulted her in a nightclub, and though Roethlisberger does not face criminal charges in the case, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the quarterback’s drinking and carousing failed to meet the league’s expectations for player behavior. Roethlisberger took part in voluntary practices April 19 and 20, but was barred from working out again until he underwent a league-ordered behavioral evaluation and was cleared by Goodell to resume team activities. The commissioner still hasn’t decided if Roethlisberger’s suspen-

HOUSTON (AP) — A Major League Baseball official says umpire Bill Hohn will be addressed “in a very stern way” after a confrontation with Houston pitcher Roy Oswalt led to the ejection of the Astros’ ace. Bob Watson, the vice president in charge of discipline, rules and on-field operations for MLB, tells Houston television station KRIV that Oswalt will not be penalized further after Monday’s incident.

sion will be reduced to four games. The consensus among Roethlisberger’s teammates: Good to have him back, now let’s move on — even if they realize that can’t possibly happen for months. “We’re all trying to get over this. I think we’re all already over this, we want to get ready for the season,” said lineman Willie Colon, the only Steelers teammate known to have been with Roethlisberger the night of the incident in Georgia back in early March. “We’ve got a lot of people we got to knock down. Our focus is being world champs again, and that’s where we’re all headed to.”

Teixeira leaves Yanks’ game after three innings NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira has left New York’s game against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night after just three innings of play. The Yankees have not given a reason for Teixeira’s

removal after he tapped out to the pitcher in the third inning. Teixeira was grazed on his leg by a pitch from Brian Matusz in the first and lunged awkwardly to catch a pickoff attempt from catcher Francisco Cervelli in the top of the third. Juan Miranda took over at first base in the fourth.

Cardinals promote veteran Miles ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals have purchased the contract of infielder Aaron Miles from Double-A Springfield, adding a veteran presence to the bench. The 33-year-old Miles was one of the final players cut by the Reds this spring and signed a minor league contract with St. Louis on April 30. He batted .279 with 13 RBIs in 16 games.

McGwire’s wife delivers triplets ST. LOUIS (AP) — The wife of St. Louis Cardinals batting coach Mark McGwire has delivered triplets. Stephanie McGwire had three daughters on Tuesday. The former slugger was away from the team, and manager Tony La Russa didn’t say whether McGwire would rejoin the Cardinals for Wednesday’s game against Cincinnati. Coach Mike Aldrete will fill in during McGwire’s absence.

STANLEY CUP FINALS

Olympic hockey, playoffs making NHL cool again

CHICAGO (AP) — Not too long ago, wearing Chicago Blackhawks gear would earn you quizzical looks or jokes about being the last of the team’s fans. Now the Blackhawks are the talk of the entire town. “So many more people are talking about the Blackhawks, you need to follow them just to have a conversation,” converted fan Paul Zywicki said. The buzz isn’t limited to Chicago. Fueled by a thrilling Olympic tournament in time-zone friendly Canada and down-to-thewire playoff series involving some of the league’s most storied franchises, the NHL is the hottest it’s been since the pre-lockout days. Television viewership

in the United States is the highest in eight years, arenas have been filled to capacity — and then some — during the playoffs, new sponsors are signing up and merchandise sales are on the rise. “As an athlete and as a hockey player, you feel like the third, maybe fourth or even fifth place in the sporting world,” Blackhawks forward Adam Burish said. “But you can sense as you go around to the different cities, and especially here in Chicago, that hockey’s exploding. It’s bigger than it ever was.” Already trailing the NFL and NBA in popularity, the NHL was in danger of becoming a niche sport after a lockout wiped out the 2004-05 season. It typical-

ly takes several years for any league to recover from labor strife, and there were a few factors making the NHL’s return to relevance even tougher. Most of the NHL’s television package was moved to OLN (now Versus), which doesn’t have nearly the reach as old partner ESPN. The first two Stanley Cup finals after the lockout were Carolina vs. Edmonton and Anaheim vs. Ottawa, teams that lacked the big names and buzz that can attract casual fans and create new ones. Chicago, home to one of the Original Six franchises and the country’s third-largest media market, was a nonentity, mustering a season ticket base of just 3,400 in 2007.

SPORTS BRIEFS Doctor’s office searched in LPGA golfer death case

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Documents show police were looking for prescription medication when they searched a doctor’s house and office in the investigation into the death of LPGA golfer Erica Blasberg. Dr. Thomas Hess referred calls Tuesday about the May 13 searches at his home and business to his lawyer, who declined comment. Henderson police aren’t saying much about their investigation of the 25-yearold Blasberg’s death May 9 at her home in Henderson. Police say a 911 call came from the house, and that Blasberg was alone when officers arrived. Warrant documents show police were looking for alprazolam, an anti-anxiety medication also known as Xanax, plus samples of Hess’ handwriting. The Clark County coroner says it could be four more weeks before a cause of death is known.

The California Highway Patrol cited the NBA’s Rookie of the Year on Monday evening after air patrol spotted him driving a 2010 black Mercedes S550 at more than 100 mph on Interstate 80. CHP spokeswoman Lizz Dutton says Evans was cited and released after cooperating with officers. She says he was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Officers drew their firearms and ordered Evans and a passenger out of the car because officers couldn’t see inside the vehicle since its windows were tinted. Dutton said Evans is due in court around Aug. 10.

from high school that I’ve seen over one year.” Collins says that he is proud of his now-former Cavalier going on to play at the next level. “If he continues to work on his game and his academics, his upside could be tremendous,” said Collins. “I am very proud of what he has accomplished. He’s deserved this.” Smith, who spent the past year at Sandhills Community College and did not play basketball, decided to transfer to Central Carolina to be a part of Connor’s program. The 5-8 guard will likely see time at the shooting guard position for the Cougars. “He’s got an outstanding attitude,” said Connor about Smith. “He’s got a great jumper and has an incredible work ethic. He’s going to be a good all-around player for us. We’re excited to see what he can do for us. He’s one of those guys you want on your team any day and I’m excited to have him.” Also signing with the Cougars was Martin Ngnog of Africa, who is transferring to Central Carolina from Wake Tech. Connor hopes that Ngnog, a 6-7 center, will be a force in the paint for the Cougars. “He’s going to have a massive inside presence for us,” said Connor. “He’s going to be a banger on the boards and will clog up the middle.”

Wade against two former business partners who wanted $25 million after a restaurant deal went sour has come to a quick end, with the sides announcing a confidential settlement.

Meyer’s chest pain diagnosed as esophageal spasms SANDESTIN, Fla. (AP) — Florida coach Urban Meyer says chest pain that bothered him the last three years has been diagnosed as esophageal spasms. Speaking at the Southeastern Conference’s annual spring meetings, Meyer says doctors have him on medication and he feels fine. He declined to discuss his health in further detail, but says his heart is completely healthy. Meyer briefly resigned in late December, citing health concerns three weeks after he was rushed to a hospital with chest pain. He changed his mind the following day and instead decided to take a leave of absence following Florida’s bowl game. Meyer says the diagnosis came in January and believes the pain won’t be an issue again.

Mathis, Wayne miss another round of Colts camp INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Three Indianapolis Colts — all Pro Bowlers last season — are skipping another round of voluntary workouts. Receiver Reggie Wayne does not traditionally show up until the mandatory offseason workouts. Indianapolis police are investigating credit card charges after Wayne told them an ex-girlfriend may have used his credit card number to make more than $93,000 in online purchases. Defensive end Robert Mathis reportedly wants to renegotiate his contract and did not attend any team workouts in May. Safety Antoine Bethea has not signed his one-year tender.

Connor also got 3-point specialist John Yon, Terrell Royster, former Green Hope player Van Ellis and Demetrius DeWar as part of his incoming signing class. “We signed a great class,” said Connor. “I really believe that this team is going to be good. If these guys can come in and learn our system and get used to playing with one another, we’re definitely going to be good.” On Friday, Enloe’s Dominique Williams will be signing his letter of intent to join the other five new Cougars on the court. “He’s going to be the real deal,” said Connor on Williams. “I think he’s going to come in and have an immediate impact with this program. He’s a dunker, he can shoot the 3 and is explosive. He’s special.” So what are these incoming freshmen getting themselves prepared for? Connor says that once players sign on the dotted lines and make the commitment to play for the Cougars, his goal is to make them the best student-athletes he can because he’d like to see all of his players go on to a four-year university after they’re done at Central Carolina. “They are going to get good coaching that’s going to be a disciplinarian,” said Connor. “The goal of this program is to develop these kids to not only be the best players on the court but the best people off it.” After the first six games of the 2009-10 season, Connor coached the Cougars to

U.S. team in fortified hotel By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

IRENE, South Africa — The slogan on the side of the bus reads “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Victory!” with the Stars and Stripes painted alongside. The U.S. World Cup team is making itself at home in South Africa, ready at last to play the games that matter most. The Americans are staying in the 74-room Irene Country Lodge, a luxury hotel north of Johannesburg and south of Pretoria protected by stone walls and barbed wire. There’s a lake on the property, with an adjacent farm filled with cows and enough roosters to make alarm clocks superfluous. “It’s been a long time,” captain Carlos Bocanegra said Tuesday in the interview tent, pitched on the dairy farm. “Now it’s finally here. We’re in South Africa. So we’re excited for the games to start. It feels real now that we’re down here in South Africa and we’re set up at our hotel and you see all the World Cup fanfare.” The 23-man roster and about an equal number of coaches and support staff left Washington-Dulles International Airport on Sunday evening and arrived 17 hours later to a warm welcome.

was raped by three players, allegations that led to the university’s decision to cancel the rest of that season and to the indictments of Collin Finnerty, Reade Seligmann and Dave Evans. The case ultimately unraveled and state prosecutors determined an attack never occurred, with Attorney General Roy Cooper dropping charges and declaring the three players innocent victims of a “tragic rush to accuse.” With the returning players motivated by the desire to prove wrong those who vilified them early in the case, the program returned in ’07 — only to lose in the final to Hopkins. “I think in years past that the final

Good teams have good discipline. We’re going to have team rules and every player must abide by those team rules. In order for us to make the national tournament, which is our goal every year, we’re going to have to be well-disciplined.” Connor’s team played a

McKee said Duke offered him a release from his letter of intent during what was “definitely a time of uncertainty for Max, Terrence and myself. “Quinzani and Terrence and I called each other, saying, ’What’s up, man?

Still, Connor believes that playing tough competition makes his program better in the long run. Returning starters for the Cougars will be captains Nick Spinks, Casey Boggs and Valente Battle. Also back for the Cougars will be Dejan Brown, who Connor believes is the most athletic player in the Region.

approaches winter in the Southern Hemisphere. This will be the first World Cup south of the equator since 1978 in Argentina. Following a few warm days last week in the Northeast U.S., the Americans found themselves in a quite different climate: daytime highs in the 60s and nighttime lows near 40. They’ll get to experience game conditions Saturday, when they play Australia at Roodepoort, outside Johannesburg, in their last World Cup warmup. World Cup ads are

everywhere. Salesmen walk in the middle of streets between cars, hawking jerseys for the World Cup teams. Vuvuzelas — the yard-long horns that are blown in South African soccer stadiums — are omnipresent in store windows. After spending two straight World Cups in urban hotels in Seoul, South Korea, and Hamburg, Germany, the U.S. team is in the countryside for the first World Cup in Africa. There are plenty of police with holstered guns and bulletproof vests, but the show of force thus far is less than at some previous World Cups. When the U.S. team headed to practice here, motorcycles and police cars went in front of the bus, with more security vehicles trailing. State Department officials also accompany the team. “We have tremendous confidence in the security around our team,” Bradley said. The U.S. was here at this time last year, too, when it also trained at Pilditch. The Americans upset European champion Spain at the Confederations Cup, ending the Spaniards’ recordtying 35-game unbeaten streak, and then took a twogoal lead in their first FIFA outdoor men’s final before losing to Brazil 3-2.

else? Are we going to go here?”’ McKee said. “For us, it was a very simple decision. We had an awesome time together. ... We were like, ’Let’s just go to Duke.”’ Coach John Danowski admitted the celebration was cathartic for him, too. He took over the Duke program in July 2006 from Mike Pressler, who was fired a few weeks after the team party, and his son Matt Danowski was a star with the Blue Devils from 2004-08. “It’ll be different, and for me, it’ll be a little bit sad, because that’s why I came here,” John Danowski said. “But as I get excited about next year’s incoming freshmen, and we have a great group coming in, it’ll be back to coaching. A little more normalcy than crisis management, so to speak, but it’ll be really exciting.”

ODDS AND ENDS Former Colorado governor had missing moon rock DENVER, Colo. (AP) — A missing moon rock awarded to Colorado in 1974 has turned up in an ex-governor’s house. The lunar souvenir was given to former Gov. John Vanderhoof by the Nixon administration, which awarded bits of moon rubble to all 50 states and more than 130 foreign countries. Vanderhoof is now 88 and living in Grand Junction. He has kept the rock on a plaque in his house and didn’t think much of it until college students started looking for the moon rocks. On Tuesday a Denver television station called to ask if he had Colorado’s. Vanderhoof joked that he had offered the rock to museums, but no one was interested. Its estimated value is $5 million. Another set of moon rocks awarded to Colorado was found in storage at the state history museum about a decade ago. They are now on display on the third floor of the state Capitol. Few even realized the rocks existed until a college student began searching for them as part of an assignment. Neither the history museum nor the Denver Museum of Nature & Science has the second set of rocks and the governor’s office doesn’t know where they are.

MY ANSWER left on their doorstep along Highway 30. It was dropped off Wednesday night and is estimated to be less than two weeks old. Officials are seeking the person who brought in the baby elk to find out where they originally found it, so that it can be returned to its mother. They say the baby elk probably was not abandoned, because mother elk regularly leave their babies hiding in tall grass or brush while they divert a threat, such as a coyote, and then return to their young. Officials believe the person who found the baby likely thought the animal was lost and needed to be saved.

NHL team seeking help to flush Pa. arena’s toilets PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Penguins are looking for 250 students to help with an important task and there’s only one major requirement: You must know how to flush a toilet. Construction is near completion on the NHL team’s new arena, the Consol Energy Center. But like with any new arena or stadium, officials need to simultaneously flush all the toilets and urinals to make sure everything is working. The Penguins are calling the June 10 event the “Student Flush,” a spinoff of their popular ticketing program known as “Student Rush.” Students already involved in the ticketing program can enter for a chance to win. Students must be 18 or older to participate in the flush-apalooza. In all, there will be 400 flushers, including some construction officials, on hand that day.

Jesus didn’t encourage violence Q: I’m completing my first year in college, and I’ve given up my faith in God. The only thing religion has done for the human race is cause war and conflict. How do you explain that, if religion is true? -- R.M. A: I can understand your confusion because, unfortunately, religion often has been a source of conflict between peoples and nations, even to this day. However, instead of making you turn away from God, this ought to make you more determined to find Him. Let me explain. The first thing you need to understand is that not everything that goes by the name of “religion” is true. In fact, much of what passes for religion can’t be true -- because it contradicts the very nature of God, which is love. Various religions also contradict each other -- a clear warning that not every religion is valid or right. Let me ask you a question: Do you think Jesus Christ encouraged His followers to take up arms and kill anyone who disagreed with them? No, of course not. When Peter took out his sword to fight those who had come to arrest Jesus, Jesus rebuked him: “Put your sword back in its place... for all who draw the sword will die by the sword” (Matthew 26:52). My prayer is that you will look at Christ -- for He alone could say, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). He could say this because He alone was both fully man and fully God -- God in human flesh.

Govâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t to hit airlines harder Isolation of Rainbow for bumping passengers Bridge a draw for visitors

DALLAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Giving up your airline seat may become a little less painful. Federal officials are expected to announce this week a plan to raise the maximum amount that airlines must pay passengers who get bumped off an oversold flight, currently at $400 or $800 depending on how long a trip is delayed. Bumpings rose in three of the past four years and jumped 10 percent to 762,422 in 2009, the highest total since 2002. They soared 17 percent in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first quarter. The potential inconvenience is greater now too. Airlines have cut back on flights and planes are more crowded, so bumped passengers could wait hours or even days to find alternate arrangements. Passenger-rights groups have pushed the Transportation Department to raise the payout limits to $800 and $1,200 per traveler if the airline bumps you involuntarily. The agency has signaled that it plans some type of inflation adjustment in the limits, which were last raised in 2008. Officials declined to provide details. The issue is overbooked flights. Airlines are allowed to sell more tickets than they have seats on the assumption that some passengers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; usually those with refundable tickets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up. What travelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; groups

What if flight is oversold? Tips to keep in mind if your flight is oversold: â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Know your rights and the maximum compensation if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bumped, which depends on how quickly the airline can put you on another flight. You arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compensated if the airline gets you to your destination up to an hour late. You receive up to $400 if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re scheduled to get there between one and two hours late, and up to $800 if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re scheduled to arrive more than two hours late. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Airlines are required to ask for volunteers before bumping anyone, and will offer travel vouchers or other goodies. Before you accept an offer, ask when is the next flight that the airline can confirm your seat. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There are exceptions, especially on smaller planes operated by regional airlines. Bumping rules donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply to planes with fewer than 30 seats, or when passengers are bumped to meet total weight limits including people and bags on planes with 30 to 60 seats. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be bumped, get to the airport early. Some airlines bump the passengers with the cheapest tickets, but some will bump the passengers who checked in last. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You may lose your right to compensation if you show up late. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re usually required to arrive at the gate between 10 and 30 minutes before your scheduled departure. Late arrivals can be stripped of their confirmed reservation. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; By The Associated Press

such as FlyersRights want is a limit on how many extra seats airlines can sell per flight. But industry insiders say that may be impractical because noshow rates vary by route, day and even hour. When a flight is overbooked, airlines must first ask for volunteers before involuntarily bumping ticket holders. While volunteers can get travel vouchers, people forced off flights must be paid in cash or check. Critics say airlines often flout that rule. The Transportation Department recently fined Southwest Airlines $200,000 for that and other shortcomings in its

bumping practices. In the first three months of this year, American Eagle, the regional affiliate of American Airlines, was most likely to bump passengers involuntarily. US Airways, Continental, ExpressJet and Southwest were next. For several years, JetBlue has been the least likely to bump â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it says it gives customers $1,000 if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re booted off a flight. The government has been moving to give airline customers more protections. One new rule prohibits the airlines from keeping passengers on a plane on the tarmac more than three hours.

THE IDEAL PET VACATION

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No road leads up to or over Rainbow Bridge, and no hands built it. The reddish sandstone of the Colorado Plateau instead was washed away by the forces of water, sculpting a natural arch that takes hours to reach whether by boat, foot or horse. The isolation of the bridge in far southern Utah kept it secret from many outside the area. But its proclamation as a national monument 100 years ago this year opened it up to visitors to explore its beauty and learn about its rich geological and human history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebrating that monument status is special in many regards, and I invite visitors to try and just grasp some idea of what the American West will be like in 100 years,â&#x20AC;? said Chuck Smith, an interpretive ranger for the National Park Service and the monumentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only fulltime employee. Some people choose to hike 18 miles from the northeast side of Navajo Mountain or the 16 miles from the Rainbow Lodge ruins on the southwest side of the mountain. The lodge burnt down in 1951, which then co-owner Barry Goldwater blamed on a cowboy smoking in the back room. Teddy Roosevelt was part of a horseback expedition to visit the bridge in 1913. But today most of the 90,000 annual visitors take a much easier route, by boat from Page, Ariz., which upon arrival requires only a short hike. The 50-mile water trip across Lake Powell, made possible by the creation of Glen Canyon Dam in the

1960s, gives way to views of cathedral-like canyons and geologic formations that are hundreds of millions of years old. Smith greets visitors after their two-hour boat ride to the bridge. Aside from a Park Service ranger, a trail, a shaded canopy and, Smith jokes â&#x20AC;&#x153;nice comfy La-Z-Boy rocks,â&#x20AC;? the monument is much the same as it was hundreds of years ago, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see interpretive signs or text on side,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All you see is what should be reflected there, the ambiance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that isolated slice of the Colorado Plateau.â&#x20AC;? There he tells stories of early explorers who trekked days through rugged terrain to reach a bridge they had only heard about. The hiking trails remain rough to this day. President William Taft later would proclaim it a national monument on May 30, 1910, saying it â&#x20AC;&#x153;is of great scientific interest as an example of eccentric stream erosion.â&#x20AC;? Though expansions were proposed over the

years, the monument retains its original 160-acre boundary. Smith carries around a photo of people standing atop the bridge, when that was allowed, to give visitors an idea of the scale of the towering arch that measures 291 feet tall and 275 feet across. He considers it the largest natural bridge in the world, though that is debatable. The bridge is tucked at the base of Navajo Mountain, about 8 miles north of the Arizona state line. Five Native American tribes in the area consider it sacred. Two Native guides led an exploration party there in 1909, whose goal was to have it set aside as a national monument. Wally Brown, a Navajo man from Page, said tribal members have made offerings for thousands of years to deities at the bridge, praying for rain, bountiful harvests and food for livestock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a place where our old people believe they could be near the creators,â&#x20AC;? said the 64-year-old Brown.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The famous Cyclone roller coaster and historic Wonder Wheel at Coney Island got some new neighbors over the Memorial Day weekend with the opening of a new park named for an old one: Luna Park. The 19 new rides at Luna Park will be phased in, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have some famous company: the Cyclone, a wooden coaster built in 1927, and the giant Wonder Wheel, which stands 150 feet high and was built in 1920. Both are New York City landmarks. Nathanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Famous hot dog eatery is a few blocks away. The new Luna Park is named for a now-defunct park that opened in 1903 and was known as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Electric Eden,â&#x20AC;? according to Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz. In its heyday, it attracted 90,000 visitors a day. The first Luna Park featured hundreds of thousands of lights â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such a spectacle that people started using the phrase, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lit up like Luna Park.â&#x20AC;? By 1907, visitors were mailing more than a million postcards a week out of the Coney Island post office. Luna Park was destroyed in a 1944 electrical fire. An estimated 750,000 people stood watching the 10-alarm blaze from the Coney Island beach. The arrival of its namesake, declared City Planning Commissioner Amanda M. Burden, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a great day for Coney Island fans all over the globe.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the new park heralds

Snowmelt to raise Lake Powell, keep shortcut open SALT LAKE CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation says snowmelt will raise Lake Powell to levels higher than last summer, keeping a notable boating shortcut open. Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas says houseboat reservations for prime season are up by a third over this time last year. Resort vice president David Sloma says 85 percent of available houseboat slots for the summer are already reserved. Onshore lodging bookings are up 20 percent. Sloma credits a turning economy and ideal boating conditions. The so-called Castle Rock cut has remained open since last summer. It shaves a dozen miles off a trip from Wahweap marina to the most popular beaches and Rainbow Bridge National Monument. Low water had Castle Rock cut closed for five years until 2009.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kalamazoo Institute of Arts is hosting a new exhibition about flowers featuring works from its holdings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flowers in Art: Selections from the Collectionâ&#x20AC;? opens Saturday and runs through Sept. 12 at the museum in Kalamazoo. The selections on display feature flowers as a centerpiece, adornment and decorative motif. Organizers note that flowers can be objects of beauty, a reference to the natural world, a symbol of rebirth or a reminder of mortality.

Louisiana museum staging major Katrina exhibit NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Louisiana State Museum is using the start of hurricane season to announce a major exhibit that will open this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Living with Hurricanes: Katrina and Beyondâ&#x20AC;? is a $7.5 million exhibit. Museum officials say it will include exhibits connected to the massive storm that hit almost five years ago and will help visitors understand the stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact on Louisiana, the Gulf Coast and the nation. Designed by the Boston-based firm ExperienceDesign that worked with the Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historians, curators and exhibit designers, the exhibit will have a series of galleries featuring sound, video and computer graphics. The show will open Oct. 26, at the Presbytere in the French Quarterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jackson Square.

An old English pie recipe

ast week we had planned to grill a lot. Instead, it rained a lot. We needed a back up plan, and I was excited that the ingredients that we had on hand brought back a recipe from another time and place. During my junior year in college, I studied abroad for a semester in England. There were countless reasons why this was one of the best experiences of my life, and one of the obvious ones INSIDE was the sharing of See our cultures. weekly Dining It wasn’t Guide for only the local menu British options culture Pages 4-5C that I was exposed to, because I was fortunate enough to live in the International dorm. My floor consisted of 16 rooms, each belonging to a student from places around the world. For yet more proof that food does indeed bring people together, in the middle of the 16 rooms was a kitchen. Without a doubt, more learning took place in that kitchen than in any of my classrooms on campus. We came together there each afternoon and evening, sharing stories from home, comparing traditions, and sharing meals — Greek food, Chinese food, Indian food and many more. We weren’t just learning about each other’s cultures, we were living them. One of the girls in my flat actually was from England. She didn’t prepare too much food, she usually ate what others were cooking up. One night, however, she had a craving. She made Cheesy Potato Pie, and she was willing to share. As random as this dish was, I fell in love with it. It is beyond easy, and surprisingly delicious. Similar to a Shepherd’s Pie, Cheesy Potato Pie replaces the typical vegetables with the baked beans that I learned were such a

Fresh peas, shelled and bagged in the produce section of the supermarket, are a great time saver for weeknight cooking in this bruschetta-like asparagus and pea toasts with brie.

Finally — fresh peas for busy people. The trouble with frozen peas is that, no matter how you cook them, they tend to be mushy. Fresh peas are another world entirely. They are tender, but still a bit firm. And they have a pleasantly fresh taste lost in frozen and canned varieties. Of course, they also come in their pods. Which means to eat more than a smattering of them, you need to commit some time to popping them out. While that can be fun, and is a nice project for the kids, it doesn’t always fit with weekday cooking. So I was pleased to see that a growing number of grocers are carrying shelled fresh peas by the bag in the produce section.

Edible landscaping is sweet!

s a result of the economic downswing, backyard fruit and vegetable gardening is increasing in popularity. Many people who have never raised fruits or vegetables are now planting seed and buying transplants, hopeful to reap the rewards of their time and labor. Traditionally, produce gardens were located away from the house because they were unsightly. Now, when many Americans are pressed for time, locating produce near high traffic areas can make gardening more convenient and accessible. Although not a new concept, edible landscaping, or incorporating food-producing plants into the landscape, is making a comeback. Edible landscaping combines fruit and nut trees, berries, vegetables, herbs and ornamental flowers into the landscape around your home. The use of edible plants need not be extensive; you can start small with just a few herbs. Many edible plants offer multiple seasons of interest including spring blossoms, summer fruit, attractive bark and great fall foliage. Keep in mind that there is usually a tradeoff between producing high yields of fruit and planting for aesthetic value. Most edible plants do best where they receive at least six hours of full sun per day; however, some will tolerate more shade. You will also want a well-drained soil. Do some research into the potential plant to make sure you pick the proper location. This “right plant, right place” concept will cut down on the amount of water, disease and insect problems, and time you need to invest in maintenance activities such as pruning. Incorporating food-producing plants in your landscape is easy. Simply replace a strictly ornamental plant with one that is edible. Or incorporate annual and perennial herbs and vegetables into already existing landscape areas to add interest. In central North Carolina, there are a number of fruits that can be integrated

Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to sea makes a good read By MALCOLM RITTER Associated Press Writer

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seaworthy: A Swordboat Captain Returns to the Seaâ&#x20AC;? (Viking, 256 pages, $25.95), by Linda Greenlaw It had been a decade since Linda Greenlaw fished the deep ocean for a living. Her days as a swordfish-boat skipper, publicized by Sebastian Jungerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1997 best-seller, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Perfect Storm,â&#x20AC;? were a long-ago memory. Instead, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d turned to writing books such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hungry Oceanâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Fishermen Are Liars.â&#x20AC;? Her life was largely onshore, on a Maine island, sticking with small-boat fishing near land. It was safe and comfortable; she had adopted a teenager. But she yearned for what she called â&#x20AC;&#x153;true, hardy saltwater adventure.â&#x20AC;? So when an old friend asked her to be captain

of a 63-foot swordfish boat bound for the Grand Banks off Newfoundland, she jumped at the chance. And all of us book readers should rejoice. Her chronicle of that seven-week adventure, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seaworthy: A Swordboat Captain Returns to the Sea,â&#x20AC;? is fascinating. Hanging over the tale is a nagging question: Being 48 and out of the business for 10 years, how would Greenlaw and her 5-foot-3 frame stand up to the physical and psychological demands of the job? The answer: beautifully. Her competitive fire still burned as her boat joined others on the water; her age and experience had brought wisdom. Greenlawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writing sweeps the reader along not only for the incidents at sea but also for her candid reflections about them. She does have plenty

to tell: her arrest after the fishing gear accidentally drifts into Canadian water, the exploits and personalities of her four crew members, a storm that almost washes one of them overboard, the silly humor that can redeem a bad day at sea. She tells us the ins and outs of this way of life, like how a newbie crew member nibbled the still-beating heart of a swordfish to avoid bad luck, and the importance of a load of terrific bait: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four grown men stood behind me and admired the frozen mackerel with oohs and aahs more appropriate to a bunch of guys looking at a copy of Playboy magazine.â&#x20AC;? Her book wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make many landlubbers jump up and sign on for that kind of adventure. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be delighted to have ridden along with her from the safety of their armchairs.

It’s time to can again

Grow well, do good: Some gardeners donate produce

t’s time for you to start gathering your supplies and making preparations for canning the vegetables from your garden or the ones you purchase from many of our local farms. Since its introduction, home canning has changed greatly. Today, two methods of canning are recommended: boiling water bath and pressure canning. Which process you choose is based on the acid level of the foods. Foods that are high in natural acid, that have been fermented, or that have enough vinegar added to make them high in acid can be processed in a boiling water bath canner. This would include all fruits, tomatoes, sauerkraut, pickles and relishes. Jams, jellies and preserves are also processed in the boiling water bath. All low-acid foods need to be processed in a pressure canner. This includes all meats, fish, poultry and all vegetables, except tomatoes. All these foods contain very little natural acid. Mixtures that contain both high-acid and low-acid foods must also be canned in a pressure canner. An example of such a mixture might be okra and tomatoes. Failure to pressure can vegetables could cause botulism, a life threatening foodborne illness. A temperature of 240 degrees or 11 pounds of pressure is needed to kill the botulism spore. In addition to the temperature, the time needed to destroy bacteria ranges from 20 to 100 minutes. Never guess at the length of time to process food. Cutting the time short can be dangerous. The exact time depends on the kind of food being canned, the way it is packed into the jars and the size of the jars. When canning, make

provide year-round beauty in the landscape, neat spring blossoms and great fall color, in addition to the yummy berries. There are two types of blueberries that can be planted here: Southern highbush (Vaccinium corymbosum) and rabbiteye (V. ashei). The rabbiteye blueberry is native to the South and highly adapted to growing conditions here; both types will require an acidic pH to thrive. Blackberries are another wonderful fruit that rivals the blueberry in health benefits. Unlike raspberries, blackberries can tolerate heat. There are both thorny and thornless varieties. Unless you want to make a thorny hedge, I would recommend thornless varieties. A nice cultivar for home gardens is “Navaho” since the berries hold well in the refrigerator. If you have lots of space, nut trees can be a great addition to the landscape. Pecans (Carya illinoinensis) are perhaps the most familiar nut tree in North Carolina; however, pecans grow best in the Coastal Plains and eastern edge of the Piedmont. Be careful not to plant pecans near the house since they can become dangerous in hurricanes! Black walnuts (Juglans nigra) and hickory (Carya spp.) also produce nuts. When harvesting nuts you may need to fight the squirrels to reap the benefits of

sure you use recipes found in either the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning, Kerr Canning and Freezing, So Easy to Preserve or the Ball Blue Book. These are research-based recipes with reliable processing times to assure a safe product. We have copies of the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning and Ball Blue Book for sale at the McSwain Center. Each year I receive calls telling me they have canned their vegetables the “old timey” way as well as some “modern ways.” Open-kettle canning and the processing of freshly filled jars in conventional ovens, microwave ovens and dishwashers are not recommended. Steam canners are not recommended because processing times for use with current models have not been adequately researched. We also do not recommended pressuring in excess of 15 pounds. From time to time you will find “canning powders.” These are useless as preservatives and do not replace the need for proper heat processing. Jars with wire bails and glass caps make attractive antiques or storage containers for dry food ingredients but are not recommended for use in canning. One-piece zinc porcelain-lined caps are also no longer recommended. Both glass and

your labor! Incorporating fruits and nuts into your landscape creates a delectable, beautiful garden. Although there is a balance between using edible plants for beauty and getting high yields, the interest they add to the garden is well worth the work. Plus you can have a snack while you are out working in the garden!

zinc caps use flat rubber rings for sealing jars, but too often fail to seal properly. Home canning is a reliable and safe method of preserving food if you follow safe processing procedures. For those of you who would like to learn how to can we will be holding classes on canning for beginners. This step-by-step, hands on class will be held on June 29, July 13, July 22 and Aug. 12 at 6:30 p.m. Class size will be limited to fourteen. If you are interested in taking one of the classes call the Extension Center at 775-5624 to register and to obtain a list of supplies needed. There is $8 registration fee for the class and includes jars, lids and rings and a Ball Blue Book. During these classes you will learn to can tomatoes or green beans. Sign up for both classes for a reduced fee of $13. Before starting to can, make sure your canner is working properly and the gage is reading accurately. If the gauge is reading incorrectly, or if the canner is operating improperly, the higher-than-boiling temperatures that are required in pressure canning will not be reached. Again this year we will be glad to check your pressure canners at the McSwain Extension Center, 2420 Tramway Road, on Wednesday mornings from 10-11 a.m. or by appointment. We also have several pressure canners that we can loan out for a three-day period. If this is your first attempt at canning or if you need a refresher, register today for our canning classes. Cooperative Extension has been a reliable source of food preservation information for over 90 years. It’s going to be a great year to “put up” some good locally grown produce.

At The Caring Kitchen in Delray Beach, Fla., which serves 7,100 meals a month on a $600 budget, there isn’t money for fresh produce. The hunger relief program relies on food donations from local gardeners and others, said coordinator April Hazamy. For the past two years, gardeners from nearby Cason United Methodist Church have contributed vegetables to the cause. The church asks participants in its community gardening program to donate 10 percent of their yield to The Caring Kitchen. “Fresh produce is one of the things we’re most in need of,” Hazamy said. “It’s huge to us. To have it for free is even better.” The idea of “planting with a purpose” is germinating around the country, said Michael Metallo, president of the National Gardening Association, headquartered in South Burlington, Vt. People interested in helping the hungry want to do more than offer leftovers, he said. “There are more and more individuals around the country doing this,” he said. “The idea being that anyone can make a contribution to the food bank.” The desire to act locally, eat healthier and preserve the environment is motivating gardeners and activists to grow fruits and vegetables, he said. “There are a lot of reasons for this movement,” Metallo said. “This generation is becoming more conscious of the need we have right in this country. It’s a big social issue that this generation is trying to address.” The congregation at Sherwood Presbyterian Church in Sherwood, Ore., decided this year to turn its front yard into gardening plots for senior

The rent is meant to cover the cost of water, Sesnon said. Participants also can attend a series of classes and events associated with the program. The church has asked the gardeners to donate 10 percent of their harvest to charity. Options include the local food bank, a senior citizen center and a school that collects food for the needy. In Austin, Texas, needy families are eating organic produce grown by teenagers in a program designed to address community problems and create an awareness of social responsibility. Students in the Urban Roots program earn a stipend for working on a 3.5-acre farm that generates more than 20,000 pounds of produce. Forty percent of the harvest is donated to hunger relief agencies, soup kitchens and shelters, said Russell Smith, executive director of YouthLaunch, which oversees the program. “Some of them don’t

get a lot of fresh produce,” he said. Procuring fresh produce is a challenge for food banks, agreed Kerri Qunell, spokeswoman for Capital Area Food Bank of Texas, in Austin. More and more organizations are working with grocery stores to salvage produce before it gets thrown away, she said. “There’s still a very high demand for produce for our partner agencies,” she said. “It’s a product we can never have enough of.” Food banks need more produce because they want to respond to issues like childhood obesity, diabetes and other medical concerns by providing healthier choices, she said. “It’s certainly been a focus for food banks across the country — to make sure they are not just getting out pounds of food but food that’s nutritious for families,” she said. At the Hoosier Hills Food Bank in Bloomington, Ind., organizers plant their own fresh produce. The agency maintains a half-acre plot on an organic farm; volunteers work with food bank staff member Jessica Williams to plant, weed, water and harvest. Volunteers spent 500 hours toiling in the garden last year, the inaugural year for the project, and grew 5,600 pounds of food for the food bank, Williams said.

Of course, you do pay for the convenience, but the quality is good and the prep is effortless. Whether you buy them shelled or in the pod, try fresh peas in this simple bruschettalike recipe. Thick slices of sourdough bread are toasted, then topped with a slab of brie and a quick saute of asparagus, fresh peas and onion. The asparagus and

pea mixture also would be good tossed with cooked pasta. If you go that route, cut up the brie as best you can and toss that in, too. You may need to add 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water to help create a sauce to coat the pasta.

ASPARAGUS AND PEA TOASTS WITH BRIE Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 4 2 tablespoons butter 4 large slices rustic sourdough bread (1/2-inchthick) 1 tablespoon olive oil

WE CAN HELP!

1 clove garlic, minced 1 small yellow onion, diced 1 bunch asparagus, bottoms trimmed, cut into 1-inch lengths 1 cup fresh peas Salt and ground black pepper, to taste 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint 6 to 8 ounces brie Heat the oven to broil. Divide the butter between the bread slices, spreading it evenly over one side of each. Set aside. In a large skillet over medium, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic, onion, asparagus and peas. Saute until the asparagus is just barely tender, about 4 minutes. Remove the pan from

the heat. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the mint. Set aside. Place the bread slices under the broiler. Toast until just lightly browned and the butter is melted. Remove the bread from the oven and smear a quarter of the brie over each slice. Return to the broiler for another minute. Top each slice with a quarter of the asparagus and pea mixture.

The perfect bowl of soup makes a satisfying meal that’s filling, yet low in calories and high in nutrition. But in the heat of summer, most people give it a pass. But this recipe for chilled zucchini and green bean soup with a pesto swirl could change your mind about soup in summer. Sauteed zucchini and sweet onions are simmered with two kinds of beans, then pureed into a soup that’s creamy without being fatty. A swirl of store-bought basil pesto and a dollop of reduced-fat sour cream provide a luxurious finish. The soup can be served at room temperature or chilled, so it makes a nice cooling lunch or entree on a hot summer evening. Plus, this recipe makes a good template for what a healthy soup should be: based on a reduced sodium broth and packed with low-calorie, nutritious and filling vegetables. Using beans, such as the edamame in this soup, provides an added bonus of hunger-satisfying protein and dietary fiber. Beans make an excellent base for soups that will seem rich. Combine them with a bit of broth or water, and puree to get velvety smooth results. If you like, use convenient canned beans, but be sure to rinse them under cold water to wash away some of the salt that is in the canning liquid. To complete the meal, serve this soup with a salad and some crunchy wholegrain pita chips or breadsticks.

CHILLED ZUCCHINI AND GREEN BEAN SOUP WITH A PESTO SWIRL Start to finish: 1 hour (15 minutes active) Servings: 6 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 small sweet onion, chopped 1 pound zucchini, ends trimmed and thinly sliced 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

Paper checks will soon be retired

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: I’ve heard that the government is about to do away with paper Social Security checks and make direct deposit mandatory. Is this true? I’ve always liked getting my retirement checks in the mail. Besides, I don’t have a bank account for direct deposit. What can you tell me? — CONCERNED SENIOR

DEAR CONCERNED: It is true! Paper Social Security checks will soon be completely retired and replaced with electronic payments. Here’s what you should know.

Mandatory E-payments

In an effort to save money, the U.S. Department of the Treasury recently announced that beginning March 1, 2011, all new enrollees for Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, veterans, railroad retirement, and federal civil servant retirement benefits will be required to receive their payments by direct deposit either into a bank account or a Direct Express Debit MasterCard. And existing beneficiaries, who

currently receive their government benefits via paper check, will have until March 1, 2013 to switch to electronic payments. About 85 percent of federal benefit recipients already receive their payments electronically. Switching all beneficiaries to paperless payments is expected to save the government around $300 million in the first five years and $125 million each following year. It costs $1 overall to cut and mail a check but only 10 cents for a direct deposit. The Treasury issues about 135 million benefit checks annually.

If you don’t want your government benefits direct deposited in your bank account, or if you don’t have a bank account that your payments can be deposited into, you’ll need to get a Direct Express Debit MasterCard. This is a prepaid debit card that was introduced by the Treasury Department in 2008 as an alternative to the 10 million or so Americans who still get a paper Social Security check each month.

How it Works With a Direct Express Debit MasterCard, your Social Security and/or other government benefits will automatically be deposited to your card’s account on your payment day each month. Your card can then be used to get cash from ATMs, pay bills online and over the phone, make purchases at stores or locations that accept Debit MasterCard and get cash back when you make those purchases, and purchase money orders at the U.S. Post Office. The money you spend or withdraw is automatically deducted from your

account. You also need to know that there’s no cost to sign up for the card, no monthly fees, and no credit check required to enroll. There are, however, a few small fees for optional services you need to be aware of, like multiple ATM withdrawals. Currently, cardholders get one free ATM withdrawal per month, but additional monthly withdrawals cost 90 cents each not including a surcharge if you use a non-network ATM. Another important feature is security. Your card is PIN-protected, the money in your account is FDIC-insured, and if the card gets lost or stolen it will be replaced with consumer protections if it’s reported promptly.

How to Sign Up To learn more about the Direct Express Debit MasterCard program or to sign up, visit usdirectexpress.com or call 877-212-9991. And to sign up for Social Security direct deposit, call 800-772-1213 or go to ssa.gov/deposit. Also see Go Direct (godirect.org, 800-333-1795), a national campaign sponsored by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve Banks that provides information on direct deposit and a variety of easy, safe ways to sign up.

ing in schools or in the workplace, and their overall sense of well-being (North Carolina Institute of Medicine 2009 Prevention Action Plan). Many people are affected by mental health issues (i.e., depression, anxiety, Bipolar disorder, ADHD, Conduct Disorder). Current estimates say as many as one out of four people experience mental illness in any given year National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI Media Tool Kit, 2010). In Lee County, that could amount to as many as 9000 adults. We also know that one in 10 children experience significant impairmentsocially, emotionally or behaviorally. Half of all individuals with lifetime cases of mental illness experience onset of symptoms by age 14; three-fourths begin by age 24 (National Co-morbidity Replication Survey, 1996). According to the NCIOM report depression and other mental health disorders lead to substance abuse. The best treatments (evidence-based treatments ) today are highly effective. Up to 60 percent of those with depression do recover. Yet there are still long delays — an average of 10 years — from onset of symptoms to treatment. Psychologists, psychiatrists and counselors have been trained to help people and teach them skills to work through mental health issues, and improve their quality of life. We would ask, why wait so long? Part of the answer could be recognizing or identifying symptoms of mental illness. Unless you have had a family member with mental illness, chances are you would not recognize

the warning signs of a potential mental health problem. A second factor that slows mental health treatment would have to be the stigma that is so strongly attached to having a diagnosable mental disorder. Over the last few decades research has been providing evidence that mental disorders are biologically-based brain disorders. Yet in many case people attribute mental illness (brain disorders) to a weakness in character, lack of will, or even, poor parenting. The perception is most people with mental illness are potentially violent. The truth is, someone with a mental illness is no more likely to be violent than anyone in the general population; they are quite often the victims. For those that are dealing with mental health and behavioral issues, help is available.

Study: 10 minutes of exercise, hour-long effects By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON — Ten minutes of brisk exercise triggers metabolic changes that last at least an hour. The unfair news for panting newbies: The more fit you are, the more benefits you just might be getting. We all know that exercise and a good diet are important for health, protecting against heart disease and diabetes, among other conditions. But what exactly causes the health improvement from working up a sweat or from eating, say, more olive oil than saturated fat? And are some people biologically predisposed to get more benefit than others? They’re among questions that metabolic profiling, a new field called metabolomics, aims to answer in hopes of one day optimizing those

benefits — or finding patterns that may signal risk for disease and new ways to treat it. “We’re only beginning to catalog the metabolic variability between people,” says Dr. Robert Gerszten of Massachusetts General Hospital, whose team just took a step toward that goal. The researchers measured biochemical changes in the blood of a variety of people: the healthy middle-aged, some who became short of breath with exertion, and marathon runners. First, in 70 healthy people put on a treadmill, the team found more than 20 metabolites that change during exercise, naturally produced compounds involved in burning calories and fat and improving blood-sugar control. Some weren’t known until now to be involved with exercise. Some revved up during exercise, like those

involved in processing fat. Others involved with cellular stress decreased with exercise. Those are pretty wonky findings, a first step in a complex field. But they back today’s health advice that even brief bouts of activity are good. “Ten minutes of exercise has at least an hour of effects on your body,” says Gerszten, who found some of the metabolic changes that began after 10 minutes on the treadmill still were measurable 60 minutes after people cooled down. Your heart rate rapidly drops back to normal when you quit moving, usually in 10 minutes or so. So finding lingering biochemical changes offers what Gerszten calls “tantalizing evidence” of how exercise may be building up longer-term benefits. Back to the blood. Thinner people had greater increases in a metabolite named niacinamide, a nutrient byproduct that’s involved in blood-sugar control, the team from Mass General and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard reported last week in the journal Science Translational Medicine. Checking a metabolite of fat breakdown, the team found people who were more fit — as measured by oxygen intake during exercise — appeared to be burning more fat than the less fit, or than people with short-

ness of breath, a possible symptom of heart disease. The extremely fit — 25 Boston Marathon runners — had ten-fold increases in that metabolite after the race. Still other differences in metabolites allowed the researchers to tell which runners had finished in under four hours and which weren’t as speedy. “We have a chemical snapshot of what the more fit person looks like. Now we have to see if making someone’s metabolism look like that snapshot, whether or not that’s going to improve their performance,” says Gerszten, whose ultimate goal is better cardiac care. Don’t expect a pill ever to substitute for a workout — the new work shows how complicated the body’s response to exercise is, says metabolomics researcher Dr. Debbie Muoio of Duke University Medical Center. But scientists are hunting nutritional compounds that might help tweak metabolic processes in specific ways. For example, Muoio discovered the muscles of diabetic animals lack enough of a metabolite named carnitine, and that feeding them more improved their control of blood sugar. Now, Muoio is beginning a pilot study in 25 older adults with pre-diabetes to see if carnitine supplements might work similarly in people who lack enough.
