SANFORD — Sanford officials gave the go-ahead Tuesday on more than $90,000 in incentives designed to lure a pair of companies into multimillion dollar investments in

the city.

The tax incentives would go into effect over five years to Dutch manufacturer Axxor and Gastonia-based Parkdale America contingent upon settlement or expansion in Sanford.

Axxor creates a lightweight

paper product designed to provide support in a variety of construction items, while Parkdale spins large-scale yarn production.

Under the terms of the deals, authorized by a majority of City Council members, Axxor would receive $50,882

in tax incentives from the city and $70,669 from Lee County (which will vote on its portion of the incentives Monday) if it settles in Sanford and makes a $5 million investment in jobs and equipment.

SANFORD — She may have only been at Grace Christian School for one year, but that was all it took for senior Katherine Smith to have a transformative experience.

Smith, 17, was homeschooled from fourth to 11th grade, but last year her parents decided to send Smith and her younger siblings to Grace Christian.

“At first I didn’t like it because I wasn’t used to being in an environment that was so structured, but after a while, I fell in love with it,” Smith said.

classes, Smith said she has become more prepared for college on an academic level.

She said her senior year also prepared her for college on a social level because of all the people she met.

“Even though it’s a small school, there are people from all walks of life,” Smith said.

SANFORD — Central Carolina Hospital’s CEO on Wednesday refuted a claim by the Sanford Police Department that the hospital mistakenly pronounced a man dead after he was one of four involved in a traffic accident off of U.S. 1 Saturday.

CEO Doug Doris said Claudia Baudililo Hernandez was treated at CCH and sent to UNC Hospitals because of severe head trauma. Perez was one of four men involved in a weekend accident near Spring Lane, a wreck that killed two of the men. The whereabouts of a fourth man, whom police believe to be the driver, is still unknown as of Wednesday.

In its initial report Saturday, Sanford Police claimed three men were killed in the accident — Edwin Perez Hernandez, Femin Patrocinio Perez and Claudia Perez. But in a revised report Tuesday, SPD Capt. David Smith said investigating officers were told by an emergency room attendant at CCH that Claudia Hernandez was brain dead and was being transported to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill for organ donation.

Investigators probe marijuana farm

PITTSBORO — Investigators are still working on leads to determine who was growing an estimated $3 million in marijuana plants seized and burned during an aerial surveillance operation. “We’ve got a couple of things we’re following up on,� but no arrests have been made, Chatham County Sheriff’s Maj. Gary Blankenship said Tuesday afternoon.

Investigators are checking on people who had access to the pot farm. “I don’t know if we’d call them suspects� at this point in the investigation, Blankenship said. “We’re doing some legwork on it.�

During the multi-agency operation, nine plots were located where marijuana was growing and a total of 1,912 marijuana plants were seized and destroyed, according to the Sheriff’s Office. The estimated street value of the plants if they had reached maturity would be more than $3 million, Blankenship said. “It’s a nice little chunk.

Usually when a plant goes to full growth, when it gets to adulthood ... you can probably get about $2,000 per plant,� Blankenship said. “That’s what they usually estimate� when determining street value. “This is kind of early in the [growing] season,� so the plants were not at full maturity, he said. “I’d say they were probably four foot high,

five foot high. I’ve seen them as high as 12 foot.�

The Sheriff’s Office, N.C. State Bureau of Investigations, and N.C. National Guard conducted the joint marijuana eradication operation last Thursday. The National Guard provided air support, which located the plots and directed ground units to their location. “Basically it was just a routine operation,� Blankenship said. “They use helicopters and we give them coordinates of some suspicious places throughout the county and they found this marijuana at some of those places,� he said. “It wasn’t anything real special other than it did confirm some places that we thought some marijuana might be growing.�

Blankenship praised the work of the pilots in helping to spot the marijuana plants from the air. “They’re really good at it.

They get a lot of training for spotting from the air,� he said. “It does have an unusual color, and if you’re trained to spot it you can pick it up fairly well.�

The pot plants were taken to the Chatham County landfill and burned shortly after being dug up, Blankenship said.

Use of the aerial spotting resources has become less frequent in recent years. “Before the economy kind of went belly up we used to do it about once a month� during the summer, Blankenship said. “This is the first we’ve done this year.�

Parkdale would get $42,493 from the city and $59,018 from the county for a $4.3 million investment.

Lee County Economic Development Corporation Director Bob Heuts said the city and the county will earn more in tax revenues than it has spent on incentives if the companies opt to move in or expand in Sanford.

Heuts said Axxor is deciding whether to begin operations in North Carolina or Virginia, and the company would add

strategy for competing with other locales seeking business recruitment or expansion.

Heuts said neither Axxnor nor Parkdale would make any moves to settle or expand without the government breaks.

Stone complained Tuesday that companies are playing a “game� with incentives to get the most out of governments. “They’re taking the money and running,�

Stone said.

Heuts said Stone is entitled to his opinion, but he believes the incentives are a worthwhile tool for economic expansion.

Parkdale, meanwhile, has a history in Sanford.

The company once ran several plants in the city, but stopped all operations and laid off its workers in Sanford as the economy dipped in early 2009, Heuts said.

Parkdale later reopened a plant on Boone Trail Road in early 2010 and currently employs 72 workers, he said.

Schools should have parental OK to spank The Winston-Salem Journal

I

n North Carolina public schools, official policy favors parental involvement.

Parents must agree to a range of items from simple field trips to complex sex-education courses.

It is odd, therefore, that when a school decides to spank a child, parents have no say. If the school decides to paddle little Johnny, it doesn’t need parental consent.

The good news is that most North Carolina school districts don’t use corporal punishment any more. Of the 115 districts, only about two dozen still spank, and only a few of them

do it very often. Nonetheless, the law on the books gives no rights to parents in those districts.

Legislation is moving through the state House this session that would ban corporal punishment for children with disabilities unless the child’s parent first provided permission. It is hard to see how any legislator could possibly vote against this bill. But then, there are districts where it is still policy to spank a child with disabilities if that child behaves in the appropriately inappropriate manner.

There will be legislators who vote against this bill. They’ll say

There will be legislators who vote against this bill. They’ll say that they got spanked when they were children and it did them a world of good. ... But there are other ways of disciplining children. that they got spanked when they were children and it did them a world of good. They’ll complain that in today’s world we recognize too many disabilities and that a parent could stop her

little boy from getting paddled simply by claiming that he has a peanut allergy.

The bill’s opposition will say that there is no other way to get through to some unruly children and that they have heard many teachers tell them this.

But there are other ways of disciplining children; there are methods that fall short of paddling a child and that are far more effective in the long term.

In most of the state’s school districts, these methods have been implemented. Some districts just refuse to open their eyes to these possibilities.

Discipline is a key element in education that is necessary

for the effective teaching of the curriculum. But an important component of discipline is the understanding that we must work with those with whom we disagree. We cannot simply lose our tempers and strike them.

When we hit our children, we teach them that violence solves problems. That is the wrong lesson.

Last year, the legislature rejected a bill that would have required parental permission for any school spanking.

Legislators should have passed that bill. At the very least, the legislature should pass this bill involving children with disabilities.

Government borrowing

S

urely some mistake has been made. The bill must be wrong.

It calls for the state of North Carolina to borrow $451 million, more than half to go toward the construction of new engineering school buildings at N.C. State University and North Carolina A&T State University.

And as it has for the past decade, the North Carolina General Assembly would borrow the money without seeking approval of the state’s voters.

But it’s not the bill text that is in error. No, the mistake can be found in the list of sponsors.

There, at the top of the bill, is a sponsor list that includes state Sen. David Hoyle, Gaston County Democrat, longtime co-chair of the powerful Senate Finance Committee and current chairman of the Senate Rules Committee.

That would be the same David Hoyle, who just a few weeks ago, said: “What’s wrong with the people being allowed the right to vote on debt that they’re going to be responsible for repaying?”

Of course, he wasn’t talking about this massive borrowing bill.

He was referring to legislation coming out of a legislative study committee that would require towns and cities to get voter approval before pursuing publicly-financed broadband Internet systems.

Just a few towns and cities in North Carolina operate broadband Internet.

But one of the towns, Wilson, has a municipal system that is more than six times faster than the local cable system.

Cable and other telecommunication companies feel threatened. In 2005, they unsuccessfully sued to try to stop municipalities from providing the service. With no success in the courts, they’ve turned to the legislature.

Hoyle proposed a moratorium on municipal Internet systems, but that idea went nowhere. Now, he’s backing a measure to require voter referendums before towns and cities could build the systems, referendums in which the cable companies would surely run ad blitzes designed to discourage voters from approving the systems.

Still, Hoyle’s words ring true enough.

What is wrong with taxpayers approving borrowing that they are responsible for repaying?

Unfortunately, the state Supreme Court didn’t see it that way when, in the early 1990s, it began allowing local governments to sidestep a constitutional requirement that voters approve debt.

Then, earlier in this decade, state legislators joined in the do-not-addvoter debt parade, building a state psychiatric hospital in Butner without a voter referendum. Since then, legislators have borrowed hundreds of millions without seeking voter approval by using “special indebtedness” that allegedly doesn’t have the backing of taxpayers. (As if taxpayers won’t suffer if government defaults on its debt.)

Legislators haven’t asked for voter input on a borrowing package since 2000.

The latest proposal to borrow $451 million would continue the trend.

Banality as strategy A merican troops in Afghanistan spent their Memorial Day securing routes into Kandahar and engaging local tribal leaders in preparation for a major offensive. I spent part of my Memorial Day reading President Obama’s recently released National Security Strategy (NSS) — a document that concedes the importance of the military but emphasizes the security imperatives of “affordable health care” and “redeveloping our infrastructure.”

America, we are told, requires “a broad conception of what constitutes our national security,” which happens to coincide with the administration’s legislative priorities. Never forget: They also serve who pass health entitlements and distribute highway construction funding.

It is commonplace to assert that there are economic foundations of national power. It is shameless to use a national security document to advance a debatable domestic agenda that shows scant understanding of how economies actually grow stronger. And it is doubly shameless — naked-on-a-downtown-bus shameless — for this administration to assert “responsible management of our federal budget” as a national security priority.

In most areas, the 2010 NSS expresses unobjectionable continuity. America frowns on nuclear proliferation. America likes democracy.

America will act along with its allies — except when it needs to act alone. Portions of the document are admirable, especially its emphasis on the promotion of development and global health as instruments of national influence.

But it is not surprising that nearly everyone can find something to like in the NSS, since it reads like a State of the Union without space constraints. “The United States is an Arctic nation,” we are informed, “with broad and fundamental interests in the Arctic region.”

Much that is old in the NSS is obvious. Much that is new is not actually new. The contention that health entitlements, infrastructure construction and education spending are really national security priorities is a repolished version of an argument made for decades on the isolationist left. “How many schools could we build for the price of an aircraft carrier?” has become the claim that domestic spending is the national security equivalent of building an aircraft carrier.

Another emphasis of the 2010 NSS is multilateralism. America must construct “a new international architecture,” building “partnerships with new centers of influence,” working in “multilateral fora,” breaking down “old habits of suspicion,” to “synchronize our actions,” in “shaping an international order,” that will “modernize the infrastructure for international cooperation.”

It would be nice, of course, to have a United Nations Security Council that was not hobbled

by Russian and Chinese vetoes; a U.N. Human Rights Council that was not an unfunny global joke; a NATO alliance that was not exhausted by minimal exertions; regional security arrangements in Africa and Asia capable of preventing genocide and mass atrocities. Effective,

Our state government currently has the right to take DNA samples from people who have been convicted of a felony.

Now some state legislators and Attorney General Roy Cooper want the police to have the right to take DNA samples from any citizen who is arrested, even though they haven’t been tried or convicted of a crime.

What about probable cause and the idea of “innocent until proven guilty?”

Isn’t taking DNA from a person who hasn’t been convicted of a crime an unreasonable searchand-seizure? I wonder how many more rights we citizens will give up before we tell the politicians that they have gone too far.

Maybe one day our rulers will pass a law that requires all babies born in the state to undergo DNA testing.

Ways to protect yourself against deadly prostate cancer To the Editor:

muscular multilateralism spreads burdens and increases legitimacy when action is required.

But how does the NSS propose to achieve such wonders? The administration claims credit for expanding the G-8 to the G-20 and paying up America’s United Nations dues. In the future, America will “invest in strengthening the international system” and work “from inside international institutions,” and build “frameworks to face their imperfections head on and to mobilize transnational cooperation” and “enhance international capacity,” and facilitate “broad and effective global cooperation” and develop “integrated plans and approaches that leverage ... capabilities.” This type of writing is a net subtraction from public understanding.

Nearly all of the policy weight of the NSS rests on the project of creating a new international infrastructure to replace the current one, which is “buckling under the weight of new threats” such as nuclear proliferation. But the document provides no actual strategy in this area.

The cover of multilateralism also has been employed by the isolationist left. On issues such as proliferation and genocide, multilateralism can become a way to rationalize inaction.

The most reluctant member of a coalition is granted a veto. This approach to multilateralism allows a government to express concern on everything while accepting responsibility for nothing.

The national security doctrine of a president is difficult to implement but often simple to state. Harry Truman would contain threats.

Ronald Reagan would roll back threats. George W. Bush would pre-empt threats. Barack Obama will out-coordinate threats in multilateral fora.

In practice, Obama has been more resolute than this vision would indicate, especially in Afghanistan. And diplomacy often consists of deploying banalities with a straight face. But it is only the strength and bravery of its armed forces that allow America the luxury of such banality.

Today’s Prayer Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring You good tidings of great joy. (Luke 2:10) PRAYER: Father, we thank You for songs that give You praise. Amen.

I was saddened to hear about Hollywood legend Dennis Hopper’s death due to prostate cancer. I know Americans will miss him, and as a health care professional, I know people are also looking for ways to protect themselves from this life-threatening disease.

One man in six will get prostate cancer during his lifetime — but the disease is actually fairly preventable. Scientific studies have found that eating less meat may significantly reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

In a recent study, researchers looked at more than 175,000 men and found that those who consumed the most red meat had a 30 percent increased risk of cancer, compared with those who consumed the least.

Processed red meat was associated with a 10 percent increased risk of prostate cancer with every 10 grams of increased intake. And grilling and barbecuing were associated with an even higher risk.

But there is some good news: Research shows that a low-fat diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can reduce the incidence of prostate cancer.

This Father’s Day, let’s share this life-saving information with all the men in our families.

Smith’s experiences at Grace Christian also helped her grow on a spiritual level, something she said she will carry with her for the rest of her life. “The single most important thing I learned is to live my life completely for God,� Smith said.

The groundbreaking will be largely symbolic, as some work has already started on the site. Crew moved in as soon as the ink dried on contract in mid-May, and have already started grading and site work and foundationlaying on the campus.

Parents and community members have pushed for the renovations for years, citing leaky roofs and other structural problems. The Lee County Board of Education approved a final contract with American South Contractors of Sanford at their April meeting.

Renovations will revamp everything from windows and doors to the storm drainage system, according to the Lee County Schools website.

The new building will tie into the two main classroom buildings and provide new library and administration areas, as well as classrooms and labs.

The project will be completed in phases.

Parts of the renovated areas are planned to be completed as early as August, with new buildings currently set to open for occupancy in 2012.

He said the hospital determined Claudia Hernandez had a pulse when paramedics arrived at the scene of Saturday’s accident and was then treated at CCH within a half hour of the accident. “At no time did was indicate he was deceased or brain dead,� Doris said. “And we did not give out information that he was.�

UNC Hosptials spokesperson Stephanie Crayton declined to comment on specifics of Claudia Hernandez’s case, citing federal regulations that bar hospitals from releasing the nature of individuals’ medical care. She did say Hernandez, who is listed at UNC Hospitals as Claudia Perez, remains in critical condition as of Wednesday afternoon.

According to Carolina

Donor Services, the organization that facilitates organ donation across the state, people are not typically sent from one hospital to another to have their organs removed following a declaration of death.

That procedure can be done in most hospitals, including Central Carolina Hospital.

Capt. Smith declined to go into specifics of the report Wednesday, only adding that the Sanford Police Department sticks by its police report sent Tuesday. Smith did say the wreck is still under investigation as police continue to search for the fourth driver whom a witness reported crawled from the wreckage and walked away from the scene of the single-car accident.

The missing man has been identified as Hugo Alfredo Hernandez. The Sanford Police Department is asking that anyone with information on his whereabouts call (919) 775-8268. â??

RALEIGH

STATE BRIEFS Legislators OK health coverage for young adults

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina legislators have decided to close a gap that would have kicked young adults off the State Health Plan for a few months.

The state Senate voted 2920 mostly along party lines on Wednesday to allow the children of state employees, teachers and retirees to stay on their parents’ insurance until age 26.

If Gov. Beverly Perdue signs the bill into law, the young adults can keep their health coverage between now and later this year, when their coverage is required by the federal health insurance overhaul law.

The bill is believed to affect about 6,800 dependents and cost up to $3.6 million next year.

Republicans and two Democrats voted against the proposal, saying that any extra spending would mean higher budget cuts elsewhere.

Lawmakers want wild mustangs as state horse

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina lawmakers agree that the horses living wild along the Outer Banks are a symbol of the state.

By an unanimous vote in the House the General Assembly gave final approval Wednesday on a bill naming the colonial Spanish mustang as the official state horse. The measure

now goes to Gov. Beverly Perdue’s desk to become law.

Students at a Currituck County elementary school suggested the idea. The horses are a major tourist attraction.

Two herds of about 100 horses near Corolla and on Shackleford Banks in Carteret County are believed to have descended from mustangs Spanish explorers brought to the coast in the 1500s.

Other official North Carolina symbols include the honey bee as state insect and the Plott hound as state dog.

Hearing scheduled for N.C. soldier charged with rape FORT BRAGG (AP) — A Fort Bragg soldier accused of rape and break-ins on both on the North Carolina post and in Cumberland County has an arraignment hearing in military court.

The 82nd Airborne Division says the military has charged 22-year-old Aaron M. Pernell of Tulsa, Okla., with two counts of rape, one count of attempted rape, one count of assault consummated by battery, two counts of burglary and one count of housebreaking.

The Fayetteville Observer reported Pernell has an arraignment hearing Wednesday on the charges.

He also is charged with six additional attacks, three each in Hoke County and in Fayetteville, between October 2008 and August 2009.

Teacher’s speech helps keep jobs

By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH (AP) — Chalk one up for people who say one person can make a big difference in petitioning big government.

Durham schoolteacher’s Gina Frutig’s impassioned two-minute plea to protect public education shook up an otherwise unmemorable public hearing by House budget-writers last week.

House Democrats said the speech by Frutig, a 29-year-old single mother of two who teaches fourth grade at R.N. Harris Elementary School and told lawmakers she received a pink slip for next fall, provide a real face of someone struggling to survive because of state budget cuts. “I am a North Carolina public school teacher. I educate children. I am unemployed,� she said at the close of the three-hour hearing, long after the TV news cameras had left. “My students need me in the classroom, my own children need me providing food and shelter for them, and I need you to make me a priority.�

Frutig’s comments have much to do with why House Democrats say they’re so resolute about forming their $18.9 billion budget debated in the House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday that tries to preserve more jobs in the classroom

throughout the state’s school districts. The full House wants to pass the bill by early Friday to stay on track to get a final budget to Gov. Beverly Perdue before July 1.

While lawmakers said they were already committed to shifting more money to public education, a case can be made that Frutig contributed to the House proposal that lawmakers and education advocates agree could help save more school positions than the Senate’s budget. House Democrats say their plan will preserve more than 1,600 school personnel positions next year across North Carolina.

Several lawmakers said this week they were moved by her comments. “It was real. It wasn’t made up,� said Rep. Doug Yongue, D-Scotland, one of the House’s chief budgetwriters. “You hear from the real people out there in the real world, and it helps us make real decisions.�

Frutig, employed in one of more than 230 Durham County public school teaching positions in jeopardy due to state spending reductions also affecting other districts, doesn’t know whether the House bill will help her retain her job. But she’s amazed by the response to her comments.

One day last week “I just literally started crying when I walked out of

school because wow, it is really making a difference,�

Frutig said.

Frutig, a Michigan transplant who came to North Carolina in the fall of 2006 to teach in Goldsboro before going to Durham two years later, grabbed the attention of the Appropriations Committee leaders ready to call it a night.

They had heard from more than 60 speakers at the public hearing held at the North Carolina State University in Raleigh.

With the time nearing 10 p.m., Frutig told lawmakers that she had signed up daughter Julia and son Charlie for Medicaid because she’ll soon be out of work next week, losing her $35,200 salary.

She said she got rid of cable television when she didn’t have enough food for her family. She spent her savings to get her car repairs in April and went to a free museum and stayed at friends’ homes for vacation.

Frutig pointed out that lawmakers approved a budget last year that contributed to local school districts eliminating more than 5,000 positions this year. “I know that budget writers need to make priorities. I understand priorities,� Frutig said. “What I don’t understand, quite frankly, is the priority of state budget writers.�

plause from the half-empty meeting room. “The purpose of a public hearing is to put real faces and real people out front.

That was a great example of it,� said House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, who heard Frutig speak. “It was sort of an electric moment.�

PET VET

Ron Myres, D.V.M.

PLAN A PET-AWAY THIS SEASON Dreaming of a vacation? Maybe your pet is, too. When you book your travel details, be sure to take your pooch along. Today it is easier than ever to travel with your favorite companion.

Follow these tips for an enjoyable vacation.

Health Checkup Before you venture anywhere, via car or plane, make an appointment to have your pet checked by the veterinarian. You want to make sure the dog or cat is healthy enough for a trip and up to date on his vaccinations.

Ask the vet for copies of all vaccinations and health records, just in case these are needed for travel.

Explore Accommodations Many hotels and motels allow pets to stay in your room for an additional charge. They may have requirements on the size of the pet, its weight, crating, or leaving the pet alone in the room. Make sure you investigate different possibilities for accommodations and call ahead to learn of their pet regulations.

Remember that if you are traveling with a dog, you will need a room that is close to an elevator or ground oor for easy access to the outdoors for bathroom trips and exercise.

Getting There A dog or cat who is very comfortable riding in a car for a short duration to the park or groomer might behave differently on a long car ride. It’s important to see how your pet handles longer trips. Some dogs get extremely anxious in the car or are susceptible to motion sickness. A pet that gets carsick may vomit or drool heavily. He also may get wet around the mouth or have a sick look in his eyes. Make practice trips that incrementally get longer if you plan on taking a long car trek to your destination.

Flying with a pet can differ from airline to airline. Make sure to be clear on health certiďŹ cates, vaccinations, and carriers that are required. Be very aware of where your pet is traveling on the plane and the regulation of temperature in “theirâ€? area. The tarmack where your pet is held between ights can become extremely hot - travelling early morning or at night is much cooler.

Supplies Remember to pack supplies for your pet.

Because stomach issues may ensue due to unfamiliar food or water, you may want to bring bottled water and plenty of food for your dog or cat. Collapsible bowls will allow for space in luggage. Pet beds, a sheet, brush, baggies, ďŹ rst-aid kit, and cleaning supplies are also good ideas to pack along.

Frequent Breaks If you are traveling by car, make frequent stops to give your pet a break. Always be sure to walk a dog or cat on a leash and have proper identiďŹ cation on his collar in the event that the animal gets away. Microchipping is a perfect form of identiďŹ cation that cannot be lost.

Enjoy Your Stay Plan activities that both you and your pet can enjoy. Be sure to investigate pet-friendly restaurants, venues, and day trip locations.

Know the regulations for pets in advance of travel, so you won’t risk ďŹ nes during your stay.

8A / Thursday, June 3, 2010 / The Sanford Herald GULF OIL SPILL

Effort to contain Gulf oil stalls with stuck saw PORT FOURCHON, La. (AP) — As the crude crept closer to Florida, the risky effort to contain the nation’s worst oil spill hit a snag Wednesday when a diamond-edged saw became stuck in a thick pipe on a blown-out well at the bottom of the Gulf.

Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said the goal was to free the saw and finish the cut later in the day. This is the latest attempt to contain — not plug — the gusher. The best chance at stopping the leak is a relief well, which is at least two months from completion. “I don’t think the issue is whether or not we can make the second cut. It’s about how fine we can make it, how smooth we can make it,� Allen said.

If the cut is not as smooth as engineers would like, they would be forced to put a looser fitting cap on top of the oil spewing out. This cut-and-cap effort could temporarily increase the flow of oil by as much as 20 percent, though Allen said officials wouldn’t know whether that had happened until the cut could be completed.

Engineers may have to bring in a second saw awaiting on a boat, but it was not immediately clear how long that could delay the operation. Live video showed oil spewing out of the new cut, and crews were shooting chemicals to try to disperse the crude.

The cap could be placed over the spill as early as Wednesday.

The effort underwater was going on as oil drifted close to the Florida Panhandle’s white sand beaches for the first time and investors ran from BP’s stock for a second day, reacting to the company’s weekend failure to plug

the leak by shooting mud and cement into the well, known as the top kill.

Meanwhile, President Barack Obama said in prepared remarks that it was time to roll back billions of dollars in tax breaks for oil companies and use the money for clean energy research and development.

He said the catastrophic Gulf oil spill shows the country must move toward clean energy, tapping natural gas and nuclear power and eliminating tax breaks for big oil.

The Justice Department also has announced it started criminal and civil probes into the spill, although the department did not name specific targets for prosecution.

Shares in British-based BP PLC were down 3 percent early Wednesday before recovering in London trading, a day after a 13 percent fall. BP has lost $75 billion in market value since the spill started with an April 20 oil rig explosion and analysts expect damage claims to total billions more.

In Florida, oil was about seven miles south of Pensacola Beach, Allen said.

Thunderstorms were making it difficult to track the slick, Escambia County emergency director John Dosh said, and officials hoped the weather would clear so they could get an aerial view.

It was raining and cloudy at the beach off and on. The four pirate flags on top of Peg Leg Pete’s Oyster Bar on the beach where flapping eastward, which could send the oil closer to shore. Peg Leg Pete’s is a beach institution frequented by boaters who pull up behind the restaurant in a cove off Pensacola Bay.

Feds approve new Gulf oil well off La. (AP) — Federal regulators approved Wednesday the first new Gulf of Mexico oil well since President Barack Obama lifted a brief ban on drilling in shallow water, even while deepwater projects remain frozen after the massive BP spill.

The Minerals Management Service granted a new drilling permit sought

by Bandon Oil and Gas for a site about 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana and 115 feet below the ocean’s surface.

It’s south of Rockefeller State Wildlife Refuge and Game Preserve, far to the west of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig.

Obama last week extended a moratorium on wells in deep water like the BP one that blew out a mile below the surface in April and is gushing millions of gallons of oil.

But at the same time, the president quietly allowed a ban on drilling in shallow water to expire.

Obama: End dependence on fossil fuels PITTSBURGH (AP) — Seizing on a disastrous oil spill to advance a cause, President Barack Obama on Wednesday called on Congress to roll back billions of dollars in tax breaks for oil and pass a clean-energy bill that he says would help the nation end its dependence on fossil fuels.

Obama predicted that he would find the political support for legislation that would dramatically alter the way Americans fuel their homes and cars, even though such legislation is politically divisive and remains bogged in the Senate. “The votes may not be there right now, but I intend to find them in the coming months,� Obama told an audience at Carnegie Mellon University. “I will continue to make the case for a clean energy future wherever and whenever I can, and I will work with anyone to get this done. And we will get it done.�

Obama said the country’s continuing dependence on fossil fuels “will jeopardize our national security, it will smother our planet and will continue to put our economy and our environment at risk.�

E-BRIEFS

Networks still spending big bucks

LOS ANGELES (AP) — If you looked at the finances of the broadcast TV networks, you might not be optimistic about the future of free TV. Each year, ABC, NBC and Fox contribute a smaller share of the profits reaped by their parent companies. Meanwhile cable channels boost viewership and get growing chunks of the advertising pie. No wonder a cable company is about to scoop up NBC — largely because it owns cable channels, which also deliver a stream of revenue from subscription fees.

So why are the TV networks spending tens of millions of dollars more on prime-time dramas and comedies for next season than they did in the last season? What’s in it for the companies, when even Fox, No. 1 among viewers in the key demographic of 18- to 49-year-olds, eked out just 3 percent of the total operating profit reported

by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. in the last quarter?

An analysis of the broadcast business suggests a few answers: â?? Even though the profits may be slim on the broadcast segment alone, other areas of media companies enjoy the benefits.

Spending money on new programs helps sister divisions such as TV production studios, which will

own the rights to shows in perpetuity and can sell them in other countries, to other channels and on home video.

That’s partly why NBC is investing 40 percent more on new shows this year than in the 2009-10 season and backtracked from its move last year to replace new shows with a daily dose of Jay Leno at 10 p.m.

Its 13 new shows are more than double what it made last year. Six will be produced by sibling Universal Media Studios, such as the Indian call center comedy “Outsourced� and the apocalyptic thriller “The Event.�

The mantra of new spending at NBC has been backed by Brian Roberts, the CEO of Comcast Corp., which is set to take control of the media company from General Electric Co. in a $13.75 billion deal expected to close late this year. “If you have a few years where you don’t invest in your programming, three or four years down the line that stream of revenue is going to take a huge dip,� said Jeff Gaspin, chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment. “We need to start to seed those new hits.� — The most expensive shows that generate the largest audiences are usually developed on broadcast TV before migrating to

cable channels.

It’s partly history and partly economics, but cable networks anchor their programming with reruns of shows that were once broadcast. That helps fill their 24-hoursa-day, seven-days-a-week schedule. “If you look at USA Network, it’s driven by ‘House,’ if you look at Turner (TNT), it’s driven by ‘Law & Order,�’ said Bruce Rosenblum, president of the Warner Bros. Television Group, which makes shows for all the networks.

Audiences tend to decrease for reruns, so it’s better to start big on broad-

cast. To be sure, some original cable shows are popular and cable channel owners continue to spend on new programs.

But even the season premiere of AMC’s highly regarded “Mad Men� was watched by fewer people last fall than a recent rerun of CBS’s “NCIS� on USA. — The benefit of hitting a home run outweighs the cost of a few strikeouts.

Mega-hits like “CSI� or “Lost� can be sold around the world and generate hundreds of millions of dollars in licensing fees for reruns. A failed show might have cost $1 million-plus per episode to produce, but much of that cost is covered by advertising revenue. “If a show doesn’t work after a couple of airings, you’ve limited your costs to maybe two or three or at most nine episodes and you go on to the next one,� said Fred Reynolds, former chief financial officer for CBS Corp., which still gets most of its profit from broadcast. “You’re always trying to come up with the show that’s going to beat the incumbent. That’s good.�

NBC’s failed gamble of putting Leno at 10 p.m. last year shows why this kind of spending is a must for the networks.

Coleman’s wife says in 911 call he has head wound SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Former child TV star Gary Coleman was bleeding from the back of his head and “bubbling at the mouth� after falling at his Santaquin home but still tried to get up, his distraught wife told a Utah emergency disColeman patcher in a 911 tape released Wednesday.

The call was made by Shannon Price on May 26, two days before Coleman died of a brain hemorrhage at age 42 after being removed from life support. “I just don’t want him to die,� Price tells the female dispatcher during the nearly six-minute call. “I’m freaking out like really bad.�

In the call Price said she’s not sure whether Coleman had a seizure or whether he hit his head and fell.

She said he had just gotten home and was going downstairs to make some food for her and that she then heard a “big bang.� “Send someone quick because I don’t know if he’s like gonna be alive cause there’s a lot of blood on the floor,� Price said.

Coleman is lethargic and Price says she “can’t really help him� and can’t drive or handle too much stress because she has seizures. “I don’t even know what happened. ...I looked at the back of his head and it’s all bloody and gross,� Price said, later reporting to the

Santaquin Police Chief Dennis Hammond has said Coleman had a dialysis treatment on the day of the 911 call. It’s unclear whether that may have been related to Coleman’s fall. Santaquin is about 55 miles south of Salt Lake City.

Coleman’s short stature of 4-foot-8 stemmed from kidney problems and required at least two transplants earlier in his life and dialysis. Last fall, he had heart surgery complicated by pneumonia, his Utah attorney, Randy Kester, has said.

Green Day immortalized in ’Rock Band’ Edition NEW YORK (AP) — With a hit Broadway show and now their own edition of the “Rock Band� franchise, Green Day is establishing themselves as a punk rock brand. “I just like being diverse and trying new things as far as Green Day is concerned,� says front man Billie Joe Armstrong.

The Grammy-winning, multiplatinum trio joins the Beatles as the only other act immortalized in “Rock Band�; the video game is being released next Tuesday. “It’s like a glorified karaoke machine,� Armstrong said. “Or ’Mortal Kombat’ with guitars.�

As players progress through the game, they gain access into the band’s media vault, where they can unlock rare collectible images, and over 40 minutes of unreleased video. These include performances, outtakes, interviews, and even a tour of their transportation.

Hopper remembered at service in N.M.

RANCHOS DE TAOS, N.M. (AP) — Jack Nicholson and Val Kilmer were among the actors who mixed Wednesday in New Mexico with dozens of Dennis Hopper’s relatives, friends and Taos locals to remember the twotime Oscar nominee at a memorial Mass.

Hopper’s simple wooden coffin was ushered into the adobe chapel at historic San Francisco de Asis church.

Hopper, who was twice nominated for Oscars and earned a star this year on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, died Saturday at age 74 at his home in Los Angeles. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2009.

Nicholson, cast alongside Hopper in “Easy Rider� as a drunken young lawyer in a breakout role, described Hopper as “an all-around guy.�

BRIEFS Ex-Fla. GOP chairman charged with felony theft

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The political unknown once tapped by Gov. Charlie Crist to lead the state GOP was arrested Wednesday on charges he ran a scam to bilk the party, officials said.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement took former state GOP Chairman Jim Greer, 47, into custody at his Orlando-area home. He is charged with one count of organized fraud, four counts of felony grand theft and one count of money laundering, said William Shepherd, Florida’s statewide prosecutor.

Through his attorney, Greer denied the charges.

U.S. lawyer held in Rwanda attempts suicide MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A U.S. law professor jailed in Rwanda and charged with denying the country’s genocide tried to commit suicide by swallowing dozens of pills in his prison cell, Rwandan officials said Wednesday, but his daughter said his family doesn’t believe the claim.

ing the one-time rebel leader of sparking the slaughter that erupted there in 1994.

The professor, who has a history of taking on unpopular causes, was arrested about a week after going to Rwanda to help with the legal defense of Victoire Ingabire, an opposition leader running against President Paul Kagame in Aug. 9 elections. Ingabire is accused of promoting genocidal ideology Erlinder is accused of violating Rwanda’s laws against minimizing the genocide in which more than 500,000 Rwandans, the vast majority of them ethnic Tutsis, were massacred by Hutus in 100 days. He doesn’t deny massive violence happened but contends it’s inaccurate to blame just one side.

Rwandan police spokesman Eric Kayiranga said Erlinder swallowed 45 to 50 pills in his prison cell Tuesday night and the attempt may lead courts to charge

Consumers snap up cars in May, despite fewer deals DETROIT (AP) — Americans shrugged off fewer discounts and a scary stock market plunge last month, snapping up new automobiles and delivering another month of higher sales for carmakers.

May marked the seventh straight month of year-overyear sales increases for the auto industry. “Clearly we are in a recovery,� said Jeff Schuster, executive director of global forecasting for J.D. Power.

The outlook for sales through the summer appears rosy — provided that the recovery continues.

The financial markets need to stabilize and employers need to start hiring at a faster clip for sales to keep climbing, said Paul Ballew, a former chief economist at GM who is now at insurance firm Nationwide.

Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC saw strong sales gains over the same month last year — a bleak month for the industry as GM headed into bankruptcy and Chrysler was already there.

U.S. might send carrier to Korea WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. is considering dispatching the massive aircraft carrier USS George Washington to the waters where North Korea allegedly sank a South Korean warship, defense officials said Wednesday.

The deployment of the nuclear-powered carrier, one of the world’s largest warships, would represent a major show of force by the U.S., which has vowed to protect South Korea and is seeking to blunt aggression from North Korea.

An international investigation last month blamed North Korea for torpedoing a South Korean navy vessel, the Cheonan, in March, killing 46 sailors.

Two U.S. defense officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision had not been made, said that a decision on deployment was likely by week’s end.

Last week, the Pentagon announced that it was planning two major military exercises with South Korea to take place in the “near future.� The exercises were to focus in part on anti-submarine operations.

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

After examining my x-rays, we started treatment.

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

COACH K NOT INTERESTED IN LEAVING DUKE DURHAM (AP) — While Mike Krzyzewski is flattered by all the reports linking him to the NBA, he insists he’s not leaving Duke.

Krzyzewski admitted Wednesday that “it’s more of a compliment — it’s not an insult” to hear his name mentioned for several NBA coaching vacancies. But he also reaffirmed what he’s been saying for years, every time those rumors pop up: He isn’t going anywhere.

He joked that “my position hasn’t changed. I hope Duke’s position hasn’t changed.”

Recent reports have mentioned the New Jersey Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers as possibly being interested in luring the 63-year-old Hall of Famer away from Duke.

Krzyzewski has 11 Final Fours and four national titles in three decades at Duke.

GOLF SINGH GETS EXEMPTION TO PLAY IN U.S. OPEN DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Vijay Singh won’t have to go through qualifying to play in the U.S. Open in two weeks at Pebble Beach.

The group organizing Monday’s sectional qualifier in Ohio announced Wednesday that the USGA had granted Singh an exemption. He was scheduled to play in the 36-hole qualifier on Monday.

Singh will be playing in his 64th consecutive major, the longest current streak.

Singh, winner of the PGA Championship in 1998 and 2004 and the Masters in 2000, has not won in the last two years and had fallen out of the top 50 in the world rankings, which are exempt from qualifying. He is playing at the Memorial Tournament this week, where he won in 1997.

By ALEX PODLOGAR alexp@sanfordherald.com

CAROLINA TRACE — Some have been there, done that.

A few would like to do it again.

There are fewer berths on the line among more golfers this time around, so any extra advantage might be necessary to earn entry

into the U.S. Women’s Open at Oakmont by way of the sectional qualifier at Carolina Trace today.

So past success and a deep knowledge of the Lake Course just might come in handy.

Very handy.

A year ago, six berths were awarded among just 39 players

at Trace. Among those earning entry into the Open at Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Penn., was 13-time LPGA Tour winner Rosie Jones, who at 50 was one of the oldest players in the Open field. Also winning a

Lakers, Celtics chase history with multiple titles

By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer

LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Kobe Bryant joined the Lakers and Paul Pierce landed with the Celtics in the late 1990s, they both learned most of what they needed to know about their franchises’ histories and expectations simply by looking at the forests of fabric high above the court.

These teams only hang banners for champion-

ships, and they’re usually in big groups.

Multiple titles are the only metric of success, the only validation still interesting to Bryant and Pierce.

Bryant is trying to accomplish the rarest of NBA feats for the second time in his career, while Pierce’s Celtics get their first chance when the NBA finals begin Thursday night at Staples Center.

SEATTLE (AP) — Ken Griffey Jr. retired Wednesday night, ending one of the great careers in baseball history.

The 40-year-old Griffey told the Mariners that he was done playing, and manager Don Wakamatsu made the announcement before Seattle faced Minnesota.

“While I feel I am still able to make a contribution on the field and nobody in the Mariners front office has asked me to retire, I told the Mariners when I met with them prior to the 2009 season and was invited back that I will never allow myself to become a distraction,” Griffey said in a statement.

“I feel that without enough occasional starts to be sharper coming off the bench, my continued presence as a player would be an unfair distraction to my teammates and their success as a team is what the ultimate goal should be,” he said.

PARIS (AP) — Early on, Serena Williams knocked dirt from her shoes by angrily whacking them with her racket, as if punishing the clay that keeps tripping her up at the French Open.

The top-ranked Williams stumbled in the quarterfinals Wednesday, squandering a match point and losing to Australian spoiler Samantha Stosur, 6-2, 6-7 (2), 8-6.

A 12-time Grand Slam champion, Williams won her only French Open title in 2002 and hasn’t been to the semifinals since 2003.

Australia’s SamanThe upset was the second in a row for the tha Stosur.

No. 7-seeded Stosur, and surprises keep coming at Roland Garros.

Four-time champion Rafael Nadal defied the trend, beating No. 19 Nicolas Almagro 7-6 (2), 7-6 (3), 6-4 in an all-Spanish quarterfinal.

But No. 3 Novak Djokovic lost to Jurgen Melzer, who earned his first Grand Slam semifinal berth at age 29 by rallying to win 3-6, 2-6, 6-2, 7-6 (3), 6-4.

On Monday, Stosur ended four-time champion Justine Henin’s Roland Garros winning streak at 24 matches in the fourth round.

On Tuesday, top-ranked Roger Federer lost to Robin Soderling.

Then Williams made her exit, with stretches of brilliant tennis by Stosur hastening the departure. The Australian, long regarded as a doubles specialist, used her forceful forehand to build a lead, winning 17 consecutive points during one stretch.

New rides, good results for McMurray, Truex CHARLOTTE (AP) — Martin Truex Jr. moved to another team this season for a better opportunity.

He left behind an open seat at Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing that Jamie McMurray was eager to fill.

After just a third of the season, both drivers seem far better off following their moves.

The two drivers head to Pocono Raceway this weekend thick in the hunt for one of the 12 Chase for the Sprint Cup championship berths. Truex is 14th in the standings, just 14 points out of Chase contention, and McMurray is 15th in the standings and 26 points out. “I think our chances are really good,� Truex said of his Michael Waltrip Racing team. “I feel like we’re getting stronger each week as a team. We’ve done a good job of being consistent up to this point. We’re constantly working on trying to be more competitive, be quicker each week.�

MWR courted Truex heavily last season, which was an odd year for the driver. He was in the final

Truex had to make a decision fairly early if he was going to give the new organization a chance or test the free agent market.

The opportunity at MWR, which was offering team owner Waltrip’s seat and sponsor, led Truex to make a change. So far, he has no regrets about tak-

ing over the No. 56 Toyota and pairing with crew chief Pat Tryson, who was lured away from Penske Racing.

Truex won the Sprint Showdown qualifying race to earn a spot in last month’s All-Star race, and he’s got four top-10 finishes this season. He had just six top-10s all of last year. “Hardest part about it was making the decision, pulling the trigger to do

it,� he said. “Everything has been going really well.

The team has done a great job. They’ve got great leadership. Pat has done a great job. He’s been easy to work with. He’s been a lot of fun. He’s very smart about his race cars. “We’ve been having a good time with it.�

Same goes for McMurray, who found himself the odd man out when Roush-Fenway Racing had to drop a team at the end of last season to meet NASCAR’s four-car mandate. By the time the decision was made to let McMurray go, Truex’s old seat with Ganassi was the only attractive job still available.

Braves win eighth straight ATLANTA (AP) — Omar Infante came in for injured Chipper Jones and lined a two-out, run-scoring single in the eighth inning to back Derek Lowe’s best outing of the season, leading the Atlanta Braves to their eighth straight win, 2-1 over the slumping Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday.

The Braves finished off a three-game sweep of the defending NL champions and increased their lead in the East Division to 2 1/2 games as they headed off on an 11-game road trip that could determine if they’re a true contender for their first playoff appearance since 2005.

Dodgers 1, Diamondbacks 0, 14 innings LOS ANGELES (AP) — Garret Anderson hit an RBI single with two outs in the 14th inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat Arizona 1-0 Wednesday, handing the Diamondbacks their 10th straight loss.

A day after the Dodgers won 1-0 on Matt Kemp’s home run in the 10th, Los Angeles won another pitchers’ duel. Kemp led off the 14th with a single and later scored Anderson’s hit.

The Diamondbacks went 0-9 on their trip to Colorado, San Francisco and Dodger Stadium. It marked their first winless road swing of more than six games.

It was their fifth straight walkoff defeat. In the series opener, they lost 5-4 on a game-ending balk by Esmerling Vasquez.

Tiger Woods (left) talks with Nick Watney at the practice range during a practice round for the Memorial golf tournament Wendesday at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio.

Woods moves on to Memorial without a coach DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Tiger Woods is the defending champion at Memorial and a four-time winner at Muirfield Village.

It just doesn’t seem that way.

He arrived at the course that Jack Nicklaus built — the one that Woods at times seems to own — with his game as unpredictable at ever. Woods is coming off a neck injury that he said now feels good enough to practice and play. He no longer has a swing coach, having split with Hank Haney three weeks ago, and has no plans to find another one anytime soon.

Since returning to golf in April, he has completed only one tournament, a tie for fourth in Masters. That takes on even greater significance with the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach only two weeks away. “Maybe this time I’ll get

four rounds in and get ready for the Open,� Woods said Wednesday.

He remains as capable as ever, and Woods wasted no time showing that in the Memorial Skins Game.

Playing in the second group of five players, he hit a towering shot out of the right rough behind a tree on the 10th hole to about 18 feet and rolled in the quick putt for a birdie to win a skin.

Next up came the par-5 11th, where he followed a pure tee shot with a 4-iron to just outside 4 feet for eagle.

Easy game, right?

Everything else has been a struggle, starting with the upheaval in his personal life, seeping into his game.

When last seen in public, Woods leaned his head against the locker at the TPC Sawgrass, eyes closed and looking lost, after withdraw-

Pats’ Welker back at practice after knee surgery

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Phoenix Suns star Steve Nash will travel to South Africa to report on the World Cup for CBSSports. com.

Nash’s team was eliminated by the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday in the Western Conference finals.

He’ll file eight videos and have additional reports and photos posted to CBSSports.com’s social media platforms under a deal with Meathawk, his production company.

A Canadian citizen who was born in Johannesburg, the two-time NBA MVP is a Tottenham fan and is involved in the ownership group of the MLS team in Vancouver that starts play next year.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — New England Patriots receiver Wes Welker is running pass routes again four months after knee surgery.

The NFL’s receptions leader last season participated Wednesday in the Patriots’ voluntary practice. He took part in agility drills, made cuts while running patterns and caught passes while wearing a brace on his left knee.

Welker had surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament of that knee on Feb. 2 after being injured in the team’s final regular-season game.

Nebraska’s Tom Osborne says he hoped something definite might be known after presidents and chancellors — who have the final say — begin meeting on Thursday.

series with plenty of modern subplots.

“We’re always focused on winning a championship,” Bryant said. “And when you do it, you want to do it again and again.”

Bryant is enjoying a dynamic postseason despite hobbling through injuries during a third straight finals run by his remarkably steady Lakers, who are 8-0 at home in the playoffs and haven’t even trailed in a series.

Boston’s swift rise from a 50-win regular season as a No. 4 seed has been even more surprising, with Rajon Rondo making a quantum leap into stardom during what might be the last stand

for Boston’s Big Three of Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen.

But on the biggest scoreboard of all, the one these players claim they seldom check, it’s Celtics 17, Lakers 15. Don’t expect fans in either basketballcrazy city to forget that score when their team takes it all again.

And just in case the Staples Center fans didn’t have enough reason to go crazy in Game 1, Pierce threw out the first volley against his own hometown.

“Our fans are, I want to say, a little bit more knowledgeable to the game,” said Pierce, a Lakers fan growing up in Inglewood. “I think a lot of celebrities come here to get out of the house (rather) than to watch a

game — to see the other celebrities. It’s an interesting crowd, whereas I think our fans really come to watch the actual game.”

L.A. should be fully focused on this historic matchup, however. Most players on both teams already have jewelry after Boston beat Los Angeles in six games in 2008, and the Lakers routed Orlando last season. But just one ring isn’t enough now — not for the veterans who appreciate the rare opportunity to go for two.

“If you look at the great players in Celtic history, the great teams, they’ve all won a couple of championships at least,” said Pierce, who dumped his baseball dreams for basketball mostly because of this rivalry’s irresistible pull in the 1980s.

spot via Trace was the Open’s youngest player, then-13year-old Cindy Feng.

Neither of those two players are back at Trace this time around in one of the Women’s Open’s first sectionals of the year. But there will be familiar faces to the Lake Course.

Only this time, just three spots in the Open are up for grabs among 63 players.

One of those familiar faces is Cary’s Katherine Perry, who at 17 last year was the sectional’s medalist after rounds of 71 and 70 for a 3-under-par 141. Perry was as low as 5 under during her second round last June.

Also in the field is North Carolina golfer Allie White, of Lancaster, Ohio, who rallied with a 4-under 68 on her second 18 holes after a 77 in her morning round to qualify with a 1-over 145.

Ashleigh Albrecht, who won a one-hole playoff as storm clouds were approaching to earn the last bid into the Open, is also back. Last year, Albrecht, of Murrieta, Calif., played the sectional qualifier and then flew home the next day to walk with her class at her high school graduation.

Union Pines golfer Amanda D’Ostroph, who has family living at Trace, is also in the field.

And then there is Maggie

Simons, who won the North Carolina Women’s Amateur on the Lake Course in 2007 just weeks after graduating from Wake Forest. She will be trying to jumpstart her professional career after missing the cut in three Duramed FUTURES Tour events in 2010.

Perhaps the most notable player in the field is South Korea’s Joo-Mi Kim, who won the 2006 SBS Open at Turtle Bay on the LPGA Tour.

Kim finished in a tie for 14th at the 2007 Women’s Open and was tied for 10th at the 2006 Women’s British Open.

She has not made the cut in three LPGA events this year, but has made more than $1 million in career earnings since joining the Tour in 2005.

But she hasn’t played Trace in competition, while others have. But is it the same course as a year ago?

No. It’s better, says Trace Head Golf Professional Mike Krick.

“Besides the rain, this is the best (the Lake Course) has ever been,” he said.

“The fairways are absolutely perfect and the greens are rolling really smooth and true. Superintendant Tim Hart and his staff have done an awesome job. I can’t say enough good things about the golf course.”

There are other minor differences as well. The course will play about 100 yards shorter than a year ago when it played to 6,636 yards

and a par 72. Krick says the course has been shortened a bit to account for the recent rain showers.

“The players just aren’t getting any roll at all in the fairways,” Krick said. “It’s playing longer.”

The format and scheduling will be much like the event last year. Players will be grouped in threesomes and begin teeing off on holes 1 and 10 at 7:30 a.m. for the morning rounds. Beginning at 12:45 p.m. the groups will begin their afternoon rounds, switching starting nines from what they were scheduled in the morning.

Final scores will likely begin to come in around 4:30 p.m. from the earliest groups and will trickle in for a few hours after that, Krick says.

In addition to the three automatic berths into the Open, which will be played from July 5-11, players will be vying for two alternate spots.

Anybody who would like to follow the events can do so. There will be no spectator carts available, but Krick says the public is invited to watch the tournament free of charge. Krick says anyone interested in watching should call (919) 499-5611 before coming out so they can receive a guest pass.

“All we ask is that spectators respect the players and what they’re trying to accomplish,” Krick said.

“This is for a spot in the U.S. Open.”

Who Was Helen Keller?

On June 27, 1880, a happy, healthy baby girl named Helen Keller was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Just before her second birthday, she was stricken with an illness that caused her to have a very high fever which in turn rendered her both deaf and blind for life. Completely cut off from the rest of the world, Helen created her own way to communicate. Hand gestures and grunts were all she knew to do. As she grew older, her family had more and more difficulty translating these methods, and Helen’s behavior became erratic and out of control. Her frustration caused her to scream and have fits; she could not be controlled. At the age of six, her parents began to seek help for their daughter. Anne Sullivan, a teacher of the blind, was the help that Helen needed. Mrs. Sullivan had also been blind as a child, but had her sight restored through surgery. She became a teacher and constant companion to Helen for the remainder of her life. She was able to teach her how to sign letters into others’ hands to tell them something and to recognize them in return. This opened Helen up to the rest of the world. Mrs. Sullivan went on to teach her to read Braille as well as “hearing� what others were saying by simply touching their mouths or throats while they spoke. Eventually, Helen learned how to talk.

In her early twenties, Helen attended Radcliffe College with the aid of Anne. By reading Braille books and having Mrs. Sullivan sign her lectures to her, she graduated in 1904 with honors. Helen went on to become an author and lecturer. She raised more money for the American Foundation for the Deaf and Blind than any other single person in history. Keller overcame her disabilities and devoted her life to helping others with the same disabilities.

She died on June 1, 1968, at the age of 87.

Good marriage undermined by couple’s bad sex life DEAR ABBY: My wife, “Alana,” and I have been married for 14 years. In many ways our marriage is good, but our sex life is horrible.

In my opinion, it has never been good. As time passes, I feel more and more anger toward her. Alana is attractive and physically fit; I don’t understand her lack of desire.

When the subject of sex comes up, it makes us both clam up.

I have been thinking of leaving her. We have become more like best friends than husband and wife. Our two boys would be crushed if we split. I have not -and would never consider -- an affair. What do you think about this?

Happy Birthday: Not everyone will be upfront and honest with you this year. Base your decisions on fact, not fiction. Your diligence and attentive way of handling others will bring you the rewards you deserve and opportunities to prosper and get ahead. Embrace whatever comes your way with optimism and positive energy and you will excel.

Your numbers are 5, 12, 16, 19, 28, 36, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Consider the possibilities and do what has to be done to expand an idea or develop a skill to achieve your goals. Talk to someone with experience but don’t let anyone bully you into something you aren’t sure of. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll have lots of get up and go but it can quickly turn to anxiety if you don’t have a good outlet. Expect someone to try to burden you with added responsibilities. Romance is looking quite desirable. 2 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can make things happen your way if you are somewhat accommodating. All you have to do is be pleasant, while you slip in your own touch and expertise. By the time anyone realizes, you will already have made your point by the success. 5 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Rely on your memory and your past experience in order to advance. An associate will entice you into getting involved in a project with the potential to bring you greater income. A goal you set many years ago can now be achieved. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t sit back when there is so much to do. Put everything you’ve got into pursuing something you enjoy doing and for which you have a gift. You can expect to receive cash or a gift from an unusual source. 3 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): Make a contribution to something you believe in. You will feel good about what you do and will drum up some additional busi-

ness along the way. Adding a new dimension to a service you offer will allow you to earn more money. 3 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Look beyond to find out exactly what’s going on. If you are feeling unsure about a relationship, ask questions that will shed some light on where you stand and what you should be doing to make matters better. 3 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have to take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way, no matter how big or small.

Focusing on the little things will not give you a true evaluation of the possibilities. Be responsible and take control. 5 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep your thoughts to yourself and see what everyone else is thinking or planning. You are likely to meet with opposition if your plans sound extravagant or impossible.

You will have to set a strict budget. 2 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do what you know will work and don’t deviate from your original plans, regardless of what others want you to do. Past experience will lead you in a positive direction. In the end, you will gain respect and recognition for your courage and ability to get things done. 4 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let a stubborn attitude be your downfall.

Jealousy is a waste of time.

Being honest about the way you feel and recognizing the way others feel will be vital to making the right decision.

3 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do your own thing and follow your heart. Once you display what you have to offer, you will get a better response. If you aren’t satisfied with your current situation, get to the root of your problem so you can find a way to turn things around. 3 stars Birthday Baby: You are charming, sensitive, conscientious and caring. You are compassionate and articulate.

DEAR TROUBLED: Good sex is all about open communication. If the subject makes you and your wife both clam up, it’s no wonder your sex life has faltered.

Before you and Alana can get on the same wavelength, you need to understand how each of you defines a good sex life. The reason sex therapy has become a medical specialty is that so many couples have the same problems you’re experiencing. Before deciding to call it quits, ask your doctor for a referral to a sex therapist. ❏❏❏ DEAR ABBY: I am going to be a sophomore in college next year. I played basketball in high school

I played ball during my freshman year, and I do not want to do it again next year. My heart is no longer in it.

My biggest fear is letting my parents down. I know having my education paid for has helped them out, but don’t I have a right to do what makes me happy? Please help me come up with a way to convince them that I’m making the right decision.

❏❏❏ DEAR ABBY: I am writing to thank the schoolteachers, librarians and counselors who were kind to me when I was an at-risk child.

My mother was mentally ill, my father was absent, and the school was my haven. I often wish I could tell some of those adults who helped me along the way that I did make it, that I turned out OK, and that I’m so grateful for the little and big ways they intervened in my life.

To all who serve children: Please know that even very small kindnesses give hope and strength to the child who doesn’t receive them elsewhere.

— TURNED OUT OK THANKS TO YOU DEAR TURNED OUT OK: You have written a beautiful letter, one that could have been written by many students to the educators and other adults who, by their acts of kindness, made a positive difference in their lives. If we think back, I suspect that most of us have had at least one. I know I have, and I, too, am grateful to them.

Gator raid: 3-ft-long alligator collared in Michigan

Police: Man accidentallly shot himself in the testicles

TRENTON, Mich. (AP) — Police in a Detroit suburb have picked up an unusual suspect: a 3-foot-long alligator.

Deputy Chief James Nardone (narDOH’-nee) says officers nabbed the reptile Tuesday as it strolled along a suburban street in Trenton, Mich.

He says the gator is probably someone’s pet. He joked Wednesday that it likely didn’t swim into the suburb, which is perched on the shore of the Detroit River.

Authorities are holding the alligator at an animal control office until it can be moved to a nonprofit rescue that handles abandoned exotic animal cases in nearby Belleville.

SEATTLE (AP) — Police said a man accidentally shot himself in the testicles at a Lynnwood department store. Police spokeswoman Shannon Sessions said the man was carrying his handgun in his waistband and it accidentally went off about noon Sunday.

She said he was wounded in the testicles and also in his leg and foot. No one else was hurt. The man was rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, but there was no immediate word on his condition.

Man calls 911 to complain about mother taking his beer NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. (AP) — A 32-year-old Pasco County man who called 911 to complain about his mother is facing criminal charges. According to a sheriff’s office arrest report, Charles Dennison told a deputy that his mother took his beer and he wanted her arrested. Dennison was reportedly “very intoxicated” when the deputy arrived at the New Port Richey home.

Dennison told the deputy that he would keep calling emergency responders if his mother wasn’t charged. He has been charged with making false 911 calls and was jailed on $150 bond.

It was unclear if he had an attorney.

Woman finds groundhog hiding under her car hood ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio woman needed animal control, not a mechanic, when it turned out the thumping under her car’s hood was coming from a stowaway groundhog. Rebecca Martin said she heard the noise last Tuesday while running errands with other family members in Athens in southeast Ohio.

When they pulled over in a Walmart parking lot and lifted the hood, Martin said up popped one of the largest groundhogs she’d ever seen. It then choose to burrow in near the engine, so 911 was called.

Athens County Dog Warden Jeff Koons responded, and it took him more than 5 minutes to get the critter to come out.

When it finally did, it scurried across Martin’s feet and eluded Koons for another half-hour hiding under cars. He captured the groundhog and released it in a rural area.

We don’t need proof for faith Q: Did you read about those scientists who think they’ve uncovered the image of Jesus from what might have been His burial cloth? Maybe now we’ll know what He looked like. Or do we already know?

-- M.G. A: No, we don’t know what Jesus looked like; photography hadn’t been invented then, and no one in Jesus’ day painted His portrait. Over the centuries, artists have tried to show what He might have looked like but, at best, their efforts are only the products of their imagination.

Has the actual burial cloth of Jesus been preserved (with the apparent image of a crucified man impressed on it), as some believe? Perhaps, although no one can say for sure, and I doubt if anyone will ever be able to prove it with finality. The Bible doesn’t mention what happened to the cloth, nor does it recount what happened to any other object associated with Jesus (such as the cross on which He died).

Why is this? The reason is because our faith is to be in Christ -- and Christ alone. Our faith isn’t to be in things; our faith is to be in Christ, who alone saves us by His death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead for us. The Bible says, “Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.” Never forget: Jesus Christ is alive, and even now He sits at the right hand of the Father in heaven. And because He does, “He is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them” (Hebrews 7:25).
