GULF OIL SPILL

NEW RECRUITS Representatives from Lee, Moore counties make their pitches to BRAC families in Atlanta FEARS OF MASS ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE BECOMING A REALITY The wildlife apocalypse along the Gulf Coast that everyone has feared for weeks is fast becoming a terrible reality. Pelicans struggled to free themselves from oil thick as tar that gathers in hip-deep pools, while others stretch out useless wings, feathers dripping with crude. Dead birds and dolphins have washed up onshore, coated in the sludge. Seashells that once glinted pearly white under the hot June sun are stained crimson. Page 10A

ECONOMY

PROSPECTS GROW DIMMER FOR THE LONG-TERM UNEMPLOYED If you lose your job these days, it’s worth scrambling to find a new one — fast. After six months of unemployment, your chances of landing work dwindle. The proportion of people jobless for six months or more has accelerated in the past year and now makes up 46 percent of the unemployed.

ATLANTA — Lee and Moore counties broke from the ranks of their fellow 11-county BRAC brethren Friday and wooed military families in their own backyards. Bankers, real estate agents, school administrators and even a few elected officials made the five-hour trek to Atlanta to speak to military families set to leave Fort McPherson and settle down near Fort Bragg as part of the Base Realignment and Closure exodus that could mean up to 5,000 new families in Central North Carolina in the coming year. For much of the day, those representing the region outnumbered the guests, but attendance picked up by mid-afternoon

STATE PARKS REACHING BREAKING POINT BECAUSE OF MASS CUTS As campers, boaters and hikers fan out across the state this summer, the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation has fewer resources to serve them. Litter won’t always be picked up as quickly as park superintendents would like. Maintenance projects are being deferred, and fewer seasonal workers are being hired. Page 9A

ATLANTA — Kim Waldron had heard it all about Sanford’s centralized location, its affordable housing and its laidback persona, but what really sold her on the Brick City was her dogs. That’s right, because Sanford is home to BonClyde, a renowned dog training facility, Waldron is a future resident. “I have four Australian shepherds, and when I learned Sanford had an agility course, I was sold,” said the self-described Army brat who’s expected to join thousands like her moving to North Carolina

SANFORD — Douglas Rowe’s thirst for art competitions began at an early age. After much hard work and determination, he won a coveted giant lollipop in first grade for his rendering of Abraham Lincoln, the first of many competitions from which he would walk away victorious. Now, Rowe has been named Artist of the Year, the highest honor from the Sanford Brush & Palette Club. “It’s obviously a huge honor,� Rowe said. “There are a lot of good artists in the club and a lot of people they could have chosen.� Rowe primarily creates oil paintings, ranging from portraits such as his “Spirit of Christmas� Santa Claus image to landscapes such as “Southern Chatham Sunset,� which won him Best of Show at the club’s Annual Fall Show. He also specializes in flag paintings and aviation art. “I was in the Air Force for nine years, so aviation stuff is a huge interest to me,� Rowe said. One aviation piece, a painting of a World War II-era B17 plane titled “Another Mission Tomorrow,� won Rowe a spot in the American Society of Aviation Artists’ annual exhibition and competition. The painting is currently on display at the San Diego Air and Space Museum. “Doug is a very accomplished artist and has made great strides in his work,� said Sandy Scott, president of the Sanford Brush and Palette Club. “He is a valuable member (of the organization).� Rowe has been drawing all his life, and he earned a bachelor’s degree in commercial art from Central Missouri State University. But he didn’t pursue art heavily until 2002 when his neighbor convinced him to attend a workshop on the Flemish Realism painting technique. “It all just really

When he isn’t painting, Rowe and his wife Maria operate a School of Color, selling art supplies and teaching workshops on painting and color techniques. Rowe said his greatest influence has been Pinehurstbased artist Bob Way. “He told me if I listened to him and did what he said, he could take my art to a new level,� Rowe said. “And he’s gone way beyond that.� Rowe said his art isn’t about making statements but about capturing things realistically.

he has a tendency to get lost in his work. “Every now and then I’ll sit back and think, ‘Whoa, where did that come from?’� Rowe said. “When things are going really well, time just zips by. Five to eight hours can go by before I even look up.� Scott said Rowe has been an asset to the Brush and Palette Club because of his dedica-

tion to the club’s objective of educating the people of Lee County about art. “Over the many years that I have been a member of the club, I have known Doug to always be there with innovating ideas to move the club forward,� Scott said. Rowe’s work will be on display at BB&T on Horner Boulevard from June 7-11.

with the Best in Show prize at the first Saturday show. “It feels fantastic,� Settle said. “It’s really an honor.� Though she now lives in Virginia, Daugherty is from North Carolina and trained her dogs at Bon-Clyde. The organization felt it lacked shows in North Carolina, so Daugherty contaced the staff at Bon-Clyde, led by founder Bonnie Buchanan. “Bonnie’s facility is really what brought the show to Sanford,� Daugherty said. Bon-Clyde opened in 1990 as a place for dogs to learn everything from obedience and behavior modification to agility and therapy dog training. The facility also trains acting dogs that have appeared in film, television, theater and commercials. “Everything we do is motivational,� Buchanan said. “We train for understanding rather than the idea that dogs can’t make mistakes.� Bon-Clyde is dedicated to the memory of Buchanan’s rotweiller Clyde, who died of cancer the year the facility opened. Buchanan has sponsored dog shows

Crumpton said the bonus comes in a year where employees were asked to take on more of the expenses for their health care and skip a cost-of-living salary increase. It also comes with the threat of looming state budget cuts next year that could leave municipal and county governments in a bind, he said. “Next year all bets are off,� Crumpton said. “If we have a little glimmer of

in the past, but this is her first UKC show. “We don’t keep dogs here,� Buchanan said. “We don’t board dogs. I’m not a breeder. It’s totally just a service for people to bond with their dogs.� Buchanan’s goal of fostering good relationships between dogs and handlers extends to the UKC show, which Settle said she found to be more of a communal experience for dog lovers than a harsh competition. “I’m very impressed with how everyone is so friendly,� Settle said. “It’s a

really good experience.� Attendance at UKC’s Sanford show exceeded expectations on Saturday, but Daugherty said in the past the organization has faced animal rights activists who feel dog shows are inhumane and ignore the needs of mixed breed dogs. But Daugherty said she hopes events like the Bon-Clyde show help break through negative stereotypes. “We all want the same things,� Daugherty said. “Dogs that are happy, healthy and well cared for.�

hope, maybe we should do it.� The county’s budget originally included a 1 percent pay raise, but Commissioner Robert Reives called on the board to beef up the increase considering workers were passed over for raises this year and are paying more for their health care. “When I looked at what happens in other counties and listened to the grumbling in other areas, it just made me even prouder that when times got tough, they hung in there with this board,� Reives said Friday. “And they continue to serve

the residents of this county.� Commissioners opted to make the extra cash a bonus for the county’s 345 employees instead of a salary increase, worrying that the county cannot take on the additional recurring expense every year. Crumpton said commissioners will have to include another $150,000 in spending for the bonus to include it in this year’s budget. Commissioners aren’t expected to vote on the $60.6 million budget until June 21. The spending plan maintains the county’s current 75-cent property tax rate.

SUNDAY THUMBS THUMBS UP Talk about finding a need and working to fill it... That’s what the Coalition for Families in Lee County and the Lee County Partnership for Children are doing as they work together to open a bookstore in downtown Sanford. It would be a non-profit operation with a goal of offering an extensive array of gently used and near-new books at an affordable price. The two entities have an advisory committee working on the project and have studied similar operations

in neighboring counties. When opened, proceeds from the sales of books will supplement funding to the two agencies, which have been impacted by funding cuts. Because they both provide vital services to children and families in Lee County, it’s a definite win-win proposition - downtown needs a bookstore (there are existing Christian bookstores, of course), children and adults need a source of affordable books, and because it will be a volunteerdriven operation, both the Coalition and LCPFC ultimately benefit. Because literacy is so critical to life success, the bookstore would fill a much-needed hole. What’s needed now, of course, are volunteers and the books. Many of us have books in good conditions on our own library

shelves or stored in boxes. It’s the perfect time to dig those out and make them availble. For more information, contact Carolyn Spivey at 774-8144, ext. 201, or Lyn Hankins or Celeste Hurtig at 774-9496.

THUMBS UP: Graduation It’s high school graduation season. Several high school graduations already have been held. Others will be held during the next week, including the Southern Lee High graduation on Thursday and the Lee County High graduation on Friday. It’s an exciting time

for our high school graduates. Some will be heading off to college. Others will join the military. There will be those who will enter the workforce. No matter what their future plans may hold, they are to be congratulated for reaching this academic achievement that is sure to benefit them now and in the future. To each of them and their families, congratulations!

THUMBS UP: Sportsmanship Detroit pitcher Armando Galarraga pitched a perfect game earlier this week. Unfortunately, he’ll not get credit for it as umpire Jim Joyce call a Cleveland baserunner safe withg two outs in the ninth inning. Replay shows that the runner was out.

RE: Officials defend HAVEN request We are not the world’s bird feeder for any nation that violates our immigration laws ! Sorry if that sounds disrespectful to any ILLEGAL alien but there aren’t even enough jobs for legal citizens that pay a decent wage anymore. There were over 300,000 real jobs lost last month alone in reality,no census or temp jobs included. We need to wake up and face the facts. We have 680,000 ILLEGALS as of 2008. The economic recovery is an illusion based on temporary jobs. — insaneford Another question for the commissioners might be why they’re forking over more than double for Temple Theatre than they’re giving a needed program in this economy that provides a real benefit to people like Helping Hands does. If we stop catering to and handing out to people who are here illegally, some of the huge deficit in local, state and federal governments will disappear. — jdoe2 Really it seems some GOP “christian values” members do not care about humanity but “papers”. Shame on them. — hemingway TANF/DV funds are funds shared between the local dv organization and DSS. This funding is heavily regulated and deadlines do apply. Additionally, this funding is often unavailable until several months into the fiscal year. It takes tedious coordination to utilize all TANF/DV funding. A number of counties in NC do not spend their allocation due to regulation and time restraints. Additionally, this is funding that in most cases is directed to/for clients, not agency operation. I applaud HAVEN for providing services to ALL victims. — tonyamichellegray And this is why it is folly for the commissioners to give any money to any nonprofit-we all view their missions and effectiveness differently. HAVEN is great, but when they asked for the money, they opened themselves up for scrutiny. I do agree the Temple is different, in that they perform for money. If they need more money, why don’t they just perform more often? — AdHoc

raga pitched a brilliant game and was deserving of being one of the few players in Major League baseball history to have a perfect game. What was so amazing was the grace and dignity displayed by both Galarraga and Joyce in the aftermath of one of those sporting plays that will go down in history — and not for the good. Galarraga was gracious in his attitude — and Joyce expressed deep remorse. While it seems as if it’s easy to spot the frailties of human nature, it’s refreshing to know that forgiveness and remorse remain attributes that are worth celebrating.

A journey back in time I was in Atlanta this weekend … a statement that’s completely obvious to you if you saw the front page of today’s Herald. I joined about 50 other Lee Countians (or Countyites?) on the five-hour trek to the Peach City this weekend for two reasons — first and foremost, to babysit my 8month-old daughter while my wife, who works for the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce, did her thing at Friday’s BRAC relocation fair; and second, to report on the aforementioned fair for today’s paper. In case you were curious, the former task required much more of my time and effort. But I had an ulterior motive for wanting to visit Atlanta this weekend, and no, it wasn’t to take in the Georgia Aquarium or the Coca-Cola museum. I actually lived in Atlanta for three years from 1984 to 1987 before I became a proud Texan. I was a third-grader when my dad transferred jobs and moved me and my two younger siblings to the big city from rural Ohio. Atlanta, even 25 years ago, was enormous beyond the capacity of my 8-year-old mind, and instantly, I was thrust into a larger school with people of different races and ethnicities. Yes, it seems I was pretty well sheltered from the outside world in Ohio. We actually lived in a suburb of Atlanta called Morrow, and my family lived in a townhouse complex that, at the time, was pretty new. So Saturday morning, before our trip to the Aquarium, my new family made the short detour to Morrow to see a place I kept referring to as my “one-time hometown,” even if it was just three years of my life. What surprised me, though, the instant we pulled into the entrance to those townhomes was how quickly (and vividly) the memories came back. First off, the complex looked like it had aged every bit of 25 years and more. It was still nice and livable, but sitting surrounded by a bevy of new “sprawl” subdivisions, my old home looked small and rundown, comparatively speaking. The woods that once surrounded my house were mostly gone (or terribly overgrown). The bike trails we paved through the woods were gone. The patch of grass where my friends and I played countless hours of football and whiffle ball – back then, this place was crawling with kids my age — seemed much smaller and less inviting. And the clubhouse once full of adults and children who frequented the pool and game rooms was empty and looked as if it hadn’t been used much the past few years. I told my wife the story of how it was that clubhouse that had the Coke machine featuring the most wonderful thing in the world – Cherry Coke (Ohio is Pepsi country) – and how I would sneak over there all the time to get one. A minor story, yes, but still a memory that sticks out. I saw the creeks where I used to catch

Billy Liggett Sanford Herald Editor Contact Billy Liggett by e-mail at bliggett@sanfordherald.com crawfish long before I ever found out how delicious they are (something I’d learn years later after I met a cute Louisiana girl). I saw the neighborhood I trick-or-treated in … the hill we walked up to get to elementary school every morning (it seemed so much steeper back then) … the lake where my friend was “found” a 20-pound catfish washed up on the land and got his picture in the local paper after he told them he caught it (I was in the background of the photo, looking stunned). I showed my wife the townhouse where my first crush — a girl who was four years older than me who babysitted from time to time — lived. I’m sure she was thrilled to hear about it. ( Jenny Parker, if you’re reading this, I hope life turned out well for you). I remembered my friend, Bobby Johnson, a third grader who was supposed to be a fourth grader who smoked all the time. I even had my first “after-school special” moment with him when he offered me a cigarette at the ripe old age of 9. Perhaps brainwashed by Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” campaign at the time, I politely said “no.” He never asked me again. My wife and I probably spent a total of 15 to 20 minutes in Morrow Saturday, and I’m sure we could have stayed longer, but better things awaited. Still, in that short time, three years of memories flooded my brain, and I’m still remembering things I did that I haven’t thought about in 20-plus years. Then again, those were pretty good times for me. It wouldn’t be long after the move to Texas that my parents would split up, and then of course, the trials and tribulations of being a teenager would follow. So that time in Georgia was really the “peak” of my childhood … my creative apex. What’s strange is that I vaguely remember most things about those years — the town itself was unrecognizable, and I don’t remember any restaurants, grocery stores or parks in the area. But that block of townhomes — about the size of your typical apartment complex — held it all. It’s a time in my life I’ll never forget, and for that, I’m thankful we revisited my “one time hometown.”

n reviewing the available facts about the Israeli storming of the Gaza-bound Turkish flotilla, two conclusions emerge: 1) The Israelis were justified in their actions, and 2) the Israelis will continue to be unjustly condemned by the world community. Consider: Israeli is surrounded by nations and entities either dedicated to its destruction or decidedly hostile to it. In the past five years, Hamas has fired some 10,000 missiles into Israel from Gaza. With that background and pursuant to its existential right to self-defense, Israel imposed a blockade on Gaza to prevent the delivery of weapons into the area that could and probably would be used by Islamic terrorists in more attacks against Israel. If Hamas’ acts of war against Israeli civilians aren’t sufficient to convince you that Israel’s blockade was justified, then consider that Egypt has imposed a similar blockade in the area to prevent the delivery of arms to Hamas. Israel has not completely isolated Gaza. It has been providing abundant humanitarian relief to it and routinely allows the United Nations and international groups entry into the area. Nor did it deny the delivery of aid to Gaza by this particular flotilla, but insisted on its right to inspect the goods for security purposes before allowing their delivery. What was the reaction of the flotilla’s organizer, the Turkey-based IHH? Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said, “All of our appeals were turned down.” If the IHH’s intentions were benign, why would it refuse its ships to be inspected? Well, it seems humanitarian aid wasn’t the IHH’s main motivation. NewsBusters reports that as the flotilla was waiting to embark on its mission, the crowd on one of the ships that would be involved in the incident invoked a jihadist chant: “Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews, the army of Muhammad will return.” One said, “We are now waiting for one of two good things — either to achieve martyrdom or to reach Gaza.” But what is the IHH? The Washington Examiner reports that it is a “virulently antiAmerican, pro-Hamas radical Islamist group” that “has been linked to the ultra-radical Muslim Brotherhood and to al Qaeda by French, Danish and U.S. intelligence agencies” and is one of many groups “that raise and channel funds to Hamas.” Hamas has never renounced its organizing purpose: to destroy the state of Israel. As Israel was contemplating how to deal with this guaranteed disaster, it was fully aware that an unsympathetic and biased international press would uniformly condemn any

Business of politics

Libidos gone wild

E

ven prominent Republicans, such as former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, agree that you don’t need a special prosecutor to investigate whether former President Bill Clinton can have a conversation with Congressman Joe Sestak about job possibilities other than running for Senate, or whether White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s deputy can call former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff to find out whether he’s interested in jobs other than challenging the state’s incumbent Democratic senator. Yes, there’s a law against bribing people not to run for office, just like there’s a law against offering money to members of Congress in exchange for their votes on issues. But the elements of the crime, much less the challenge of proving them, pretty much limit prosecutions to sting operations (like Abscam) or cash in the freezer. The Republicans who are demanding further investigation of White House efforts to protect incumbents from outside challenge include many who, just last week, were criticizing the White House for not managing to convince one of the two Democrats running in a special election in a Democratic district in Hawaii to drop out of the race. They are doing what the White House itself stands accused of doing. It’s called politics. That is not to say they don’t have a point, or that they aren’t scoring some. President Obama got elected, in part, by running against businessas-usual politics in Washington. He promised transparency and reform and open doors and all kinds of good things every outsider — Democrat or Republican — who is running for office is promising. Then he won, and he turned to some experienced D.C. hands, starting with Emanuel, to ensure that when he got to town, he could get something done. And he has. Agree with him or not, this administration has passed major legislation — starting with the stimulus package and health care reform. Against the odds disfavoring an incumbent party in the middle of a still-painful jobs recession, not to mention a disastrous oil spill, they are fighting hard to protect their majorities in the House and Senate. If they weren’t, believe me, the knives would be out. Does that include helping those who have been loyal to the president — who helped give him the 60 votes he once had in the Senate? Of course it does. But what about Obama’s campaign promises? Has he really been different? Has he really changed the way Washington works? Maybe not so much. But he got health care reform through. Democrats have been winning special elections (until Hawaii), despite the way the stars are aligned. He seems clearly headed toward victory on financial reform. How has he done all this? Politics. Hardball. Being tough and smart and persuasive. The big mistake the White House made in handling this latest “jobs” crisis was not that they tried to encourage the challengers not to run. It was turning it into anything more than a one-day story about the business of politics. By initially denying that Sestak had been offered anything, by not coming clean at the first reports and not embracing their efforts to assure a Democratic majority through perfectly legal means, they added fuel to the fire. The desire not to appear too political was, in the end, a political mistake — for which the president is paying. But anyone who thinks you can succeed in Washington without being very skilled at the business of politics should think back to the early years of Jimmy Carter, a decent man who tried to do things differently in Washington, who relied on a cadre of aides inexperienced in the ways of Washington, and who paid a very heavy price for doing so. Chicago-style politics isn’t any different from the game played everywhere else. They’re just better at it.

The right to discriminate

R

and Paul of Kentucky, U.S. Senate hopeful, is caught up in a swirl of controversy in response to his comments on MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show.” He has been dishonestly accused of saying he thinks that private businesses have a right to discriminate against black people. Here’s a partial transcript of the pertinent question in the interview: Maddow: “Do you think that a private business has a right to say, ‘We don’t serve black people’?” To which Paul answered, “I’m not, I’m not, I’m not in ... yeah ... I’m not in favor of any discrimination of any form.” The “yeah” was spun in the media as “yes” to the question whether private businesses had a right to refuse service to black people. Paul had told Maddow that while he supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act in general, he thought that provisions banning private discrimination might have gone too far. Democrats launched an attack on Paul accusing him of being a racist. Republicans criticized and in the words of Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, Paul’s “philosophy is misplaced in these times.” He added that Paul has a libertarian perspective and “(has) a very, very strong view about the limitation of government intrusion into the private sector.” Should people have the right to discriminate by race, sex, religion and other attributes? In a free society, I say yes. Let’s look at it. When I was selecting a marriage partner, I systematically discriminated against white women, Asian women and women of other ethnicities that I found less preferable. The Nation of Islam discriminates against white members. The Aryan Brotherhood discriminates against having black members. The Ku Klux Klan discriminates against having Catholic and Jewish members. The NFL discriminates against hiring female quarterbacks. The NAACP National Board of Directors, at least according to the photo on their Web page, has no white members. You say, Williams, that’s different. It’s not like public transportation, restaurants and hotel service in which Title II of the 1964 Civil Rights Act “prohibits discrimination because of race, color, religion, or national origin in certain places of public accommodation, such as hotels, restaurants, and places of entertainment.” While there are many places that serve the public, it doesn’t

change the fact that they are privately owned, and who is admitted, under what conditions, should be up to the owner. If places of public accommodation were free to racially discriminate, how much racial discrimination would there be? In answering that question, we should acknowledge that just because a person is free to do something, it doesn’t follow that he will find it in his interest to do so. An interesting example is found in an article by Dr. Jennifer Roback titled “The Political Economy of Segregation: The Case of Segregated Streetcars,” in Journal of Economic History (1986). During the late 1800s, private streetcar companies in Augusta, Houston, Jacksonville, Mobile, Montgomery and Memphis were not segregated, but by the early 1900s, they were. Why? City ordinances forced them to segregate black and white passengers. Numerous Jim Crow laws ruled the day throughout the South mandating segregation in public accommodations. When one sees a law on the books, he should suspect that the law is there because not everyone would voluntarily comply with the law’s specifications. Extra-legal measures, that included violence, backed up Jim Crow laws. When white solidarity is confronted by the specter of higher profits by serving blacks, it’s likely that profits will win. Thus, Title II of the 1964 Civil Rights represented government countering government-backed Jim Crow laws. One does not have to be a racist to recognize that the federal government has no constitutional authority to prohibit racial or any other kind of discrimination by private parties. Moreover, the true test of one’s commitment to freedom of association doesn’t come when he permits people to associate in ways he deems appropriate. It comes when he permits people to voluntarily associate in ways he deems offensive.

hen a long-ago South Carolina legislator described his state as “too small to be a republic and too large to be an insane asylum,” he might have added, “but just perfect for a bordello!” Perhaps it is the humidity. Throw in a cocktail, stir with human nature, and you’ve got that ol’ fleeting magic. ... No one needs to be reminded of Gov. Mark Sanford’s tearful confession of infidelity with his Argentine soul mate. Now-ex-wife Jenny Sanford has turned his betrayal into a cottage industry of feminine empowerment. She’s written a book, appeared on talk shows and become the ex officio leading lady of the tragedy formerly known as victimhood. ... In a twist that would be ironic if it weren’t so overpoweringly icky, Sanford protegee and Jenny favorite-for-governor, Nikki Haley, is essentially being branded a harlot by two men claiming to have “known” her. In politics as in love, timing is everything. These alleged trysts apparently came to mind just as Haley was leading the Republican pack in the final countdown to Tuesday’s primary. Haley, a married mother of two, has denied the claims of both men. One is former Haley political consultant Will Folks, who for a time was also Gov. Sanford’s director of communications. The other is lobbyist Larry Marchant Jr., who until recently was working for Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, also a contender for the governorship. Like Folks, Marchant claims to have had an “inappropriate physical relationship” with Haley. ... Bauer, who paid Marchant $50,000 in consulting fees (before firing him), has challenged Haley to a polygraph test to prove she has been faithful to her husband. Seriously, Mr. Hawthorne? To outsiders, this is the sort of delicious material that allows comedy writers to sleep in. To South Carolinians, these unfolding events are a blight, a pox, a Deepwater Horizon of gushing shame. It bears mentioning that the players in this little drama are not equals. I’ve known Folks, a take-no-prisoners political blogger, for years and take him at his word when he says that a story was about to break about his alleged relationship. Recently married and a new father, he says he was attempting damage control when he broke the story himself. I don’t condone or agree with his decision, but he’s no Marchant, whose earnest confession reeks of the selfservice to which he has now consigned himself. I also know Haley and take her at her word when she denies the allegations. But let’s get at the deeper truth and ask: Is this really where we want our politics to go? Are only perfect people acceptable for public service? ... This obsession with people’s personal lives, including the hand-wringing analysis of Al and Tipper Gore’s marriage, has turned us into a nation of purse-lipped old maids. No offense to purses. I’ve resisted commenting on the Gores’ decision to split after 40 years of marriage because, what possibly could I know? Apologies to the deeply conflicted, but the Gores’ divorce has no bearing whatsoever on my life. I reluctantly decided to weigh in on the Haley story because therein lie issues of more general consequence. This isn’t only politics at its worst. It’s a persecution, a witch hunt, a political rape. “All I know to do is fight,” said Haley by phone Friday. “Just stay strong and keep a smile on your face. ... I refuse to let this distract me.” Of greater personal concern than what may or may not have happened between consenting, if misguided, adults is, what has happened to men? The South has managed through the past 150 years of regional shame to cling to the one admirable trait of its antebellum past: the Gentle Man. He, too, apparently is endangered. With notable exceptions, the once-honorable protector of women’s virtue is just another gossip-monger. Perhaps this is the legacy of our egalitarian times. When men succumb to their inner Oprah, weeping and telling like slumber-party girls, it may be time for the stronger sex to lead.

and remained steady the remainder of the day. It wasn’t the counties’ first trip to Atlanta for this purpose, and it won’t be the last according to Bob Joyce, president of the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce. “It’s difficult to get in front of this audience because of all the restrictions with the military,� Joyce said. “We’re not allowed access to the base, and we can’t access military e-mail addresses.� Those who did arrive learned of the event through on-base newspaper advertising, listings in various community calendars, social networking and word-of-mouth. “I wouldn’t say we’re disappointed today,� Joyce said, “but we’re determined to find a better way.� Approximately 40 booths were set up between the two counties in the lobby of the Atlanta Airport Marriott. Of the guests, a handful arrived wearing their Army fatigues, but the majority were civilians employed by the military or by contractors moving to Bragg.

UNCERTAIN IMPACT As for how many new families will wind up in North Carolina or Lee or Moore counties has

been up for debate ever since BRAC was first announced. Two years ago, some predictions had up to 40,000 people coming to the state. Latest estimates have about 5,000 families, which can mean between 15,000 and 20,000 people total. Joyce said Lee County is expecting to attract between 5 and 10 percent of that number. He said if Sanford were to attract 250 families, the impact would be greater than anything the city has experienced since more than 100 families moved to the area at once when Coty moved here in the late 1970s. Experts say BRAC’s impact on the region will be like adding 10 years worth of growth into a three-year period. And the families coming here will be bringing with them more education and higher salaries, according to Joyce. The average family income of BRAC families is about $80,000, Joyce said. It’s because of this the counties are competing and taking five-hour trips to Atlanta to meet potential homebuyers and residents face to face. “Do we have enough high-income housing should 250-plus families move here?â€? Chamber of Commerce Chairman and mortgage lender Chet Mann said. “Probably not ‌ but man, that’s a great problem to have.â€? Mann said BRAC fami-

lies will be both “highly educated and highly motivated,� and will provide a shot in the arm for Sanford’s economy should they move there. One of those families on hand Friday was Larry and Cindy Howenstein, who spent much of their time Friday on the Sanford side of the room talking with representatives from Century 21, BB&T and Carolina Trace. According to Cindy Howenstein, the couple will be heading to North Carolina in March, and as of now, they’re “99 percent sure� their home will be Sanford. She said they’ve been researching the area since learning of BRAC, and what they like most about Sanford is its proximity to Fort Bragg and the Triangle area. “Location is a biggy,� said Cindy Howenstein, who’ll also be looking for non-military work in Sanford once they transfer. “Both Fayetteville and Raleigh have what we’re used to here in Atlanta, and we’d like to have access to both.� She said the cost of housing in Sanford is playing a big part in their decision as well. In all, about 60 and 75 families made the rounds at Friday’s fair. Despite the lower-than-expected turnout, Jim Womack, a former FORSCOM commander who’s currently running for a seat on the Lee County Board of Commissioners, said Lee County’s presence in Atlanta was important. “It’s important that we’re a part of this because of what this can mean to Lee County,� said Womack, who added that current talk about local government cutting BRAC funding from the upcoming budgets will only hurt down the line.

in the next few years as part of Base Realignment and Closure. Waldron came to Friday’s recruitment fair in Atlanta — hosted by representatives from Lee and Moore counties — because she wanted to not only learn more about the place she’ll soon call home, but also to introduce the area to a few BRAC friends. She said her pups are THE reason Sanford stuck out for her, and recent visits to the area only confirmed her decision. “The people there are really nice,â€? she said. “It’s so mellow, which is comforting in this rat race. Everyone waves at you and smiles or says ‘hello.’ I’ve met great people every time I went up there.â€? A majority of the dozens of families who visited the fair Friday said Lee and Moore counties were their top choice for relocation thanks to online research, visits to the area and past fairs hosted by the 11county BRAC Regional Task Force. And for many, the whole reason they eyed Sanford in the first place was its location. Broadway Mayor Donald Andrews Jr., one of the few elected officials to make the trip to Atlanta Friday, said he’d been using “locationâ€? as a big selling point when talking to people about his town and Lee County. “We’re 30 minutes from the base, it’s four lanes to Fayetteville and four lanes to Raleigh ‌ our proximity has been a big reason people first consider us,â€? said Andrews. “It’s the biggest asset we have going into this.â€? Unlike some of the other counties competing for BRAC families, Lee County has the benefit of being

relatively close to Fort Bragg (about 30 minutes from the county’s southern tip) and the Triangle (a drive to Raleigh takes 35-45 minutes from Lee County). Many relocating families like that access to not only Raleigh, but Chapel Hill and Durham as well. And once the 540 Toll Road is complete in 2012, RDU Airport will be a straight half-hour shot from Sanford. Location was the “buzz word� from representatives of Carolina Trace as well. The gated community is located near the Lee-Harnett county border, less than a half hour from the base, and once Sanford’s U.S. 421 Bypass connects to N.C. 87 (also expected in 2012), the time from Trace to Raleigh will be shaved by 10 to 15 minutes. But another asset Trace was pitching Friday was security. According to Alana Davidson, co-owner of Carolina Trace Gated Properties, security is important for families who may have a soldier deployed overseas. “When soldier deploy, they know their families are safe here,� Davidson said. “The neighbors in this community take care of each other and watch out for each other.� Another bonus for military families is the club dues, which are waved if a soldier is deployed, yet families can still use the country club facilities during that time, Davidson said. “We’ve been marketing to military families for the last two years now,� she added. “I think we’re wrongly labeled sometimes as strictly a retirement community. Our 19 communities include young families and professionals as well.� Another oft-asked question was about the area’s schools, according to Glenda Jones, human resources director for Lee County Schools. A former real estate agent and school principal with a military background, Jones was the district’s obvious candidate to sent to Atlanta Friday, and she said she remained busy answering questions

about test scores, renovations and more. “A lot of these families are coming up here with children, and for those with elementary-aged students, the biggest question dealt with what kind of programs we offer at that level,â€? Jones said. “For those with children in high school, they wanted to know about test scores and dropout rates.â€? She said school safety is a big issue for military families as well, which along with test scores, is something most parents can learn about easily through North Carolina educational websites that document these things. Grant Steffan, a civilian who’s moving his family to either Lee or Moore county next summer, said good schools was high on his list of important items. “I like that North Carolina’s schools are very transparent,â€? he said. “I’ve found that it’s been easy to compare schools with other schools in the area, and I like what I’ve seen so far about schools in these two counties.â€? For Sgt. Jesus Andino, the first soldier to arrive at Friday’s fair, housing prices have led him to put Sanford at the top of his list. “Good prices, good military discounts ‌ that’s more of what we’re looking for,â€? said Andino. “We’re looking for something that has something more to offer than the typical cookiecutter type of home you see in many cities.â€? The majority of the families coming to North Carolina aren’t necessarily thrilled that they’re being forced to relocate, but their attitudes were upbeat Friday, and most said they’re looking forward to making the most of the their new opportunity. For Waldron, who’s moved 40 times in her lifetime and has lived all over the map, she’s hoping this relocation will be the final one. “I’m looking for a place I can call ‘home,’â€? she said. “I want this to be my last move.â€?

STATE BRIEFS 3-year sentence for Florida man who killed Bragg soldier

lina recognized the tribe. The tribe’s members live mostly in Robeson, Hoke, Scotland and Cumberland countries.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — A Florida man was sentenced to three years in prison for the death of a Fort Bragg soldier after a fight outside a Steamboat Springs bar. Eduardo Capote was sentenced Friday in Routt County District Court after he pleaded guilty to manslaughter in April. Prosecutors said Capote punched 37-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Richard Lopez outside a downtown Steamboat Springs bar on January 2009. Lopez fell and hit his head on the pavement and died days later. Authorities said the fight happened because of an argument over a jukebox song. Police said Capote and his friends and Lopez and his friends confronted each other outside of the bar. Capote, of Miami, was tried in February and acquitted of third-degree assault, but jurors were deadlocked on more serious assault charges. The case had been set for a retrial in May, but lawyers reached the plea agreement.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that the amphitheater opened Friday with a free open-house that featured seven local acts. The first ticketed show is the Backstreet Boys who will play Sunday. Besides live music acts, the amphitheater also will host theater productions, a bluegrass festival and possibly a ballet this year.

Lumbees scrap contract with gambling consultant

PEMBROKE (AP) — A North Carolina Indian tribe has ended its contract with a Nevada gambling consultant in the tribe’s effort to be officially recognized by Congress. The Fayetteville Observer reported that the tribe and officials from Lewin International on Friday terminated the contract that gave the Las Vegas company the authority to handle the tribe’s push for federal recognition. In exchange, the tribe promised Lewin a stake in future Lumbee economic ventures, including gambling. But the Lumbee have long said they don’t want the right to have gambling as part of their federal recognition. Federal status has eluded the Lumbee since the 1880s, when North Caro-

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina train travelers have a new option for service between the capital and the state’s largest city. The state Department of Transportation on Saturday launches midday rail service between Charlotte and Raleigh. That’s in addition to the current early morning and late afternoon runs, giving the state six trains running on a daily schedule. The new southbound Piedmont will leave Raleigh at 11:50 a.m. and reach Charlotte at 3:02 p.m. The new northbound Piedmont departs from Charlotte at 12:30 p.m. and gets to Raleigh at 3:43 p.m. North Carolina operates the Piedmont, which runs daily between the two cities, and the Carolinian, which also provides daily service in the state and north to Washington and New York.

Dental care on a bus rolls into N.C. communities SYLVA (AP) — Free dental care is rolling into North Carolina communities where poor and uninsured people have done without. The new X-ray equipped bus sponsored by the North Carolina Dental Society visits Sylva on Saturday. The mobile dental clinic expects to provide care to more than 6,000 people this year with support from the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation. More than a million of the state’s nine million residents have limited or no access to dental care. Blue Cross CEO Brad Wilson says routine dental screenings can detect diabetes, heart conditions, osteoporosis and other diseases. The bus travels this summer to clinics in Sparta, Washington and Asheville.

State parks squeezed by cuts Parks at Jordan Lake, Raven Rock among many feeling the strain By MATT EHLERS AP Member Exchange

RALEIGH — As campers, boaters and hikers fan out across the state this summer, the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation has fewer resources to serve them. Litter won’t always be picked up as quickly as park superintendents would like. Maintenance projects are being deferred, and fewer seasonal workers are being hired. Visitors to Jordan Lake in Chatham County may pull up to an entrance station and hand their fees to a uniformed ranger with a sidearm, rather than a college student working toward a natural resources degree. As legislators work to close an $800 million revenue shortfall by haggling over cuts to education and Medicaid, state parks might seem like an afterthought. But outdoors enthusiasts made a record 14.2 million visits to state parks in 2009, a 13 percent increase over the previous year. If the weather holds, park officials expect similar crowds this year. In welcoming them, the park system is stretching every dollar. The system, which includes 34 state parks, four state recreation areas and a system of natural areas, usually hires about 700 seasonal employees to help with routine tasks during the busy summer months. This year, there will be fewer than 400. And, among full-time staff, there are nearly 70 vacant positions. Like all state agencies, the parks system has to make choices during tough economic times, state parks director Lewis Ledford said. “You try to be as lean and as efficient as you can.� People are beginning to notice. Matthew Clay of

Garner had to depend on ingenuity while camping at Lake Jordan recently. The fire ring and grate at his family’s campsite was worn, rusted and bent. Clay, 36, jammed a large stone beneath the grate to prop it up so he could cook hamburgers and hot dogs for his boys. “This is what you see when the state has problems with the budget,� he said in a disappointed but not angry tone. “We’ll make it work.� In a tight year, state parks people don’t want to be seen as complainers. They could use more money, just as every state agency could. As parks spokesman Charlie Peek put it, “We’re all in the same canoe.� At the same time, as the state parks become more popular, more visitors are bound to be disappointed. North Carolina is not the only place where state parks have money problems. New York’s budget crisis forced the temporary closure of 41 state parks. Arizona cut its park budget by 80 percent, and turned over some of its parks to local governments. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has added the country’s state parks to its list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. There have been no proposals to close parks in North Carolina, said Ledford, the parks director. But the state parks system operated on a $33.22 million budget during the 2008-09 fiscal year, down more than $5 million from the previous year. The amount spent in the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, will be in the same range, Ledford said. The system receives money from three main sources: fees it collects for camping and other activities, appropriations from

the legislature and money from the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund. The trust fund receives its money from a deed-transfer tax of $2 per $1,000 in value, which is collected on real-estate transactions. In other words, when the state’s real-estate market is hopping, so is the amount of money in the trust fund. In 2007, the system received $36.52 million from the trust fund, which can be used only for capital improvements or to buy land. In 2009, the system received $15.53 million. When times were good, the system used that money to add parkland and make major improvements, such as visitors’ centers, to existing parks. When times are lean, there are fewer people to help staff those new acres and new buildings. “Trying to grow at the same time we’re paring back - it’s a difficult balance,� Ledford said. The state has been aggressive in recent years in bringing land into the park system, with six new state parks authorized since 2003. Grandfather Mountain and Chimney Rock state parks, two of the state’s best-known natural attractions, are new since 2005. The state purchased Grandfather Mountain for $12 million, split equally between the Parks and Recreation and Natural Heritage Trust Funds. Both funds receive their money from the deed-transfer tax. The system works with other agencies as much

as possible when it comes to purchasing land. The Nature Conservancy helped acquire the land for Carvers Creek State Park in Cumberland County, for instance. As parkland increased, so did visitors. Ledford credits several factors for the higher attendance, including the poor economy, which has led more families to stick closer to home for vacations. Improved park facilities and a growing population have also brought more visitors, he said. Asked if the system purchased too much land in boom times that it now has to care for in tighter ones, Ledford shook his head. When iconic lands such as Grandfather Mountain become available, he said, the state needs to find a way to bring them into the fold. He pointed to an economic impact study of 14 parks from 2008 that concluded each non-local park visitor spent $23.56 daily for such things as campground fees, gasoline and lunches outside the park. The economic impact the state receives from park visitors provides a good return on the investment, he said. North Carolina trails nearly all other states in park spending per resident. According to the National Association of State Park Directors, North Carolina spent $4.18 per person on parks in 2008, ranking 45th nationally. Delaware was No. 1, spending $26.50 per person; Texas was last, at $3.58.

Threat to wildlife turns real

ON BARATARIA BAY, La. (AP) — The wildlife apocalypse along the Gulf Coast that everyone has feared for weeks is fast becoming a terrible reality. Pelicans struggled to free themselves from oil thick as tar that gathers in hip-deep pools, while others stretch out useless wings, feathers dripping with crude. Dead birds and dolphins have washed up onshore, coated in the sludge. Seashells that once glinted pearly white under the hot June sun are stained crimson. Scenes like this played out along miles of shoreline Saturday, nearly seven weeks after a BP rig exploded and the wellhead a mile below the surface began belching millions of gallon of oil. “These waters are my backyard, my life,” said boat captain Dave Marino, a firefighter and fishing guide from Myrtle Grove. “I don’t want to say heartbreaking, because that’s been said. It’s a nightmare. It looks like it’s going to be wave after wave of it and nobody can stop it.” The oil has steadily spread east, washing up in greater quantities in recent days, even as a cap placed by BP

Oil slicks move toward the beach in Gulf Shores, Ala., Saturday. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon disaster has started washing ashore on the Alabama and Florida coast beaches. over the blownout well began to collect some of the escaping crude. The cap, resembling an upside-down funnel, has captured about 252,000 gallons of oil, according to Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the government’s point man for the crisis. If earlier estimates are correct, that means the cap is capturing from a quarter to as much as half the oil spewing from the blowout each day. But that is a small fraction of the 23 million to 47 million gallons government officials estimate have leaked into the Gulf since the April 20 explosion that killed 11 workers, making it the nation’s

largest oil spill ever. Allen, who said the goal is to gradually raise the amount of the oil being captured, compared the process to stopping the flow of water from a garden hose with a finger: “You don’t want to put your finger down too quickly, or let it off too quickly.” BP officials are trying to capture as much oil as possible without creating too much pressure or allowing the buildup of ice-like hydrates, which form when water and natural gas combine under high pressures and low temperatures. President Barack Obama pledged Saturday in his weekly radio and

Internet address to fight the spill with the people of the Gulf Coast. His words for oil giant BP PLC were stern: “We will make sure they pay every single dime owed to the people along the Gulf coast.” But his reassurances offer limited consolation to the people who live and work along the coasts of four states — Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida — now confronting the oil spill firsthand. In Gulf Shores, Ala., boardwalks leading to hotels were tattooed with oil from beachgoers’ feet. A slick hundreds of yards long washed ashore at a state park, coating the white sand with a thick, red stew. Cleanup workers rushed to contain it in bags, but more washed in before they could remove the first wave of debris. The oil is showing up right at the beginning of the lucrative tourist season, and beachgoers taking to the region’s beaches haven’t been able to escape it. “This makes me sick,” said Rebecca Thomasson of Knoxville, Tenn., her legs and feet smeared with brown streaks of crude. “We were over in Florida earlier and it was bad there, but it was nothing like this.”

Porn actor sought may be barricaded in LA house

second-degree assault and a handgun charge in March 1999 in Maryland, according to court records.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A SWAT team surrounded a Los Angeles house Saturday where investigators believed a porn actor suspected of killing a colleague with a prop sword is holed up. A barricade was set up around the home in the West Hills neighborhood about 9:30 a.m., LAPD Officer April Harding said. Officers established contact with a man inside. They believe he is Stephen Clancy Hill, who faces one charge of murder and five counts of attempted murder in the sword attack Tuesday at a DVD production center. One person died and two others were injured. Harding said the man inside matches Hill’s description. Hill, 34, whose professional name is Steve Driver, fled in an SUV. A warrant was issued for his arrest. The charges were filed Friday after Eric Jover, who runs the Ultima DVD production house, offered a $2,000 reward on the company’s website for information leading to the arrest of Hill. Hill went on the rampage after being told he was being fired and would have to move out of the production facility where he had been living, authorities said. The small company is located in the San Fernando Valley, known in the adult film industry as Porn Valley for its large number of porn businesses. Ultima produces niche films featuring fetishes and sexual domination of men. Hill was convicted of

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California mother whose two children were reported missing 15 years ago has tracked them down in Florida using Facebook. San Bernardino Deputy District Attorney Kurt Rowley says Faustino Utrera, the father of the boy and girl, took off with them in 1995 when they were ages 2 and 3. Rowley says recently the mother typed one of the children’s names into Facebook and a listing for her daughter, now a teenager, came up. The mom contacted authorities, who tracked the Facebook profile to Orlando, Fla. Utrera was arrested and charged with kidnapping and violating child custody orders. The Florida Department of Children & Families says the mom is trying to build a new relationship with the children.

Ill. police probe lead on Drew Peterson’s 4th wife PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — Investigators searched a muddy stretch of remote central Illinois Saturday for the remains of the fourth wife of Drew Peterson, the former suburban Chicago police officer awaiting trial for the murder of his previous spouse. Drew Peterson, 56, is a suspect in the disappearance and possible homicide of Stacy Peterson, who was 23 when she was last seen in October 2007. No one has been charged in the case, and her body has never been found. Drew Peterson is already charged with first-degree murder in the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, whose body was found in a dry bathtub at her home. He’s pleaded not guilty to the charges. Jury selection in the trial is set for next month. He’s being held in isolation at the Will County Jail. State police and other law enforcement agencies were searching rural land “thick with timber” near Peoria for signs of Stacy Peterson, said state police Master Sgt. Tom Burek.

Guns could be a tough topic for Texas candidate AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — If he were running for governor of New York, Democrat Bill White would probably be considered a pro-gun enthusiast. He’s got a shotgun and a 9 mm pistol, opposes any new laws on firearms and says he’d like to sign up some day for a concealed weapons permit. But this is Texas, where incumbent Rick Perry recently shot a coyote while out jogging and enjoys hunting deer with a bow and arrow. The love of weaponry is so ingrained in state culture that having a legal permit to carry a handgun will get you waved through the Texas Capitol security lines without going through a magnetometer. Against that backdrop, the former Houston mayor heads into the 2010 governor’s race playing defense on a powerful political issue. The biggest liability for White is his past membership in a New Yorkbased gun control group. White says he resigned after finding its positions too restrictive, but his participation in Mayors Against Illegal Guns riled up those who live to preserve Texas’ pro-gun culture.

FILM REVIEW

E-BRIEFS

‘Greek’ is a wonderfully wild romp preening British rock star Aldous Snow. Brand stole that movie in just a few scenes, and a little of this character would seem to go a long way. Aldous is self-centered, arrogant and condescending. People are disposable to him, and he’s incapable of being loyal. He’s also flatout brilliant and highly verbal, with a quick wit and an arsenal of hilariously off-kilter quips and observations. So he’s sort of a fascinating mix of contradictions, and a guy you wouldn’t mind hanging out with and partying all night — just to see what happens. But “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” director Nicholas Stoller, who directed and wrote the script this time based on Jason Segel’s characters, also shows Aldous’ vulnerability, his caring side and even a darkness in expanding the role. “Get Him to the Greek” might actually go to some places that are too uncomfortably dark, its only weakness. But Brand seems comfortable and confident throughout, and the stand-up comic shows he’s capable of more than just earning laughs. When we first see him in “Get Him to the Greek,” Aldous has released his latest album, “African Child,” to uni-

By CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic

LOS ANGELES — Finally this summer, a movie that lives up to its hype. “Get Him to the Greek” is a complete blast, a much-needed breath of fresh air — well, as much fresh air as you can get in crowded clubs, packed rock shows and trashed hotel suites. But you get the idea. Its energy is what’s so refreshing, its lack of pretension or selfseriousness, especially during a season of bloated, boring blockbusters. Like the 2008 hit “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” which inspired it, and like the other stand-out Judd Apatow productions such as “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” ‘’Knocked Up” and “Superbad,” ‘’Get Him to the Greek” is primarily here to offer up a good time, with rapidfire jokes, great pacing and (of course) a litany of clever pop-culture references. But there’s always that layer of humanity and sweetness that sneaks in, providing some heart along with the raunchiness. Russell Brand’s performance was one of the funniest, most memorable parts of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” and here he reprises the role of

versal critical derision. (The video for the title song opens the film, and it’s a scream.) At the same time, he’s also just been dumped by his longtime girlfriend and the mother of his son, model/pop star Jackie Q (Rose Byrne in a beautifully deadpan turn as a clueless, vapid musician). So after years of sobriety, he’s now numbing the pain with booze, drugs and as many women as he can find: basically living the cliched rock-star life. But up-and-coming record executive Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) has an idea: stage a 10-yearanniversary concert of Aldous’ legendary show at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. It’ll provide a jolt not just to Aldous’ career but his own, and hopefully impress his mercurial, demanding boss, Sergio Roma (Sean Combs, a scene-stealer himself ). Hill is the straight man again, as he was opposite Brand in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” but he’s not playing the same character. Both guys share a fawning admiration for Aldous’ work. In “Get Him to the Greek,” at least, this dynamic will change. Aaron’s assignment is to fly to London and bring Aldous back to

Los Angeles for the big comeback show. Naturally, this does not go as planned. There are wild stops in New York and Las Vegas, missed flights and anonymous romps, swigs of absinthe and smuggled drugs. Cameos from celebrities like Pink, MTV’s Kurt Loder and “Today” show host Meredith Vieira add a dash of realism to the adventures. Part of the charm of “Get Him to the Greek” is that there’s a firm deadline — Aldous has to get there — but he’s taking his time, doing whatever he wants whenever he wants to do it, and Stoller revels in these detours. They also allow Aaron and Aldous to bond, and what’s intriguing about their relationship is that the power keeps shifting back and forth between them. Aaron isn’t constantly adoring, Aldous isn’t constantly abusive. They actually, unexpectedly come close to being friends. And “Get Him to the Greek” comes close to being great. “Get Him to the Greek,” a Universal Pictures release, is rated R for strong sexual content and drug use throughout, and pervasive language. Running time: 107 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

Florida Governor Charlie Crist and entertainer Jimmy Buffett walk along Pensacola Beach, Fla., on Saturday.

Buffett laments the fouling of paradise PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Timing is not on Jimmy Buffett’s side. The “Margaritaville” singer is synonymous with the white-sand beaches along the Gulf Coast that are now being fouled by leaked oil. He’s planning to open a hotel in Pensacola Beach, Fla., in two weeks. He took a walk Saturday along the beach with Fla. Gov. Charlie Crist and noted that his favorite memories of the area are of sunsets in the fall. He says he wants people in the area to know that he’s there for them. He says if he’s good for anything, it’s “helping people forget their troubles for a couple of hours.” He says the people of the Florida Panhandle will get through the crisis together.

deal in his domestic violence case, the theater’s artistic director said Friday. Sheen’s duties, if the deal is approved, would include teaching a class and helping with Theatre Aspen’s three summer shows, Paige Price said. “I certainly think he has the career credentials,” she said. “And he could possibly teach a class or do question-andanswer sessions. If this could benefit the Theatre Aspen’s actors or students, I would certainly be amenable to it.” Pitkin County Chief Deputy District Attorney Arnold Mordkin said earlier this week that prosecutors have reached an agreement with Sheen over menacing, criminal mischief and assault charges stemming from an argument with his wife on Christmas Day at an Aspen home. A police officer’s arrest affidavit quoted Brooke Sheen as saying the actor pinned her on a bed while holding a knife to her throat and making a threat. Sheen, the star of the hit CBS show “Two and a Half Men,” has said he didn’t threaten or hit his wife. But he told police that he broke two pairs of her eyeglasses in front of her. Mordkin said Friday that he expected a judge to approve the deal Monday. But he said he couldn’t provide details on the agreement, other than to confirm there have been discussions about having Sheen do “useful public service” with the theater. It’s unknown whether Sheen would serve jail time as part of the deal. Sheen’s agent, Stan Rosenfield, told The Associated Press he couldn’t comment on a proposed deal “out of respect to the court until the judge rules.”

Long-term jobless face tough odds

JERUSALEM (AP) — A defiant Israel enforced its 3year-old blockade of Hamasruled Gaza on Saturday, with naval commandos swiftly commandeering a Gazabound aid vessel carrying an Irish Nobel laureate and other activists and forcing it to head to an Israeli port instead. The bloodless takeover stood in marked contrast to a deadly raid of another Gaza aid ship this week. However, it was unlikely to halt snowballing international outrage and demands that Israel lift or at least loosen the devastating closure that confines 1.5 million Palestinians to a small sliver of land and only allows in basic humanitarian goods. For now, the confrontations at sea are likely to continue. The organizers of Saturday’s sail said they planned to dispatch as many as three more ships in coming months and that four captains already have volunteered for the missions.

MESEBERG, Germany (AP) — Germany and Russia declared Saturday that the five world powers negotiating with Iran support a fresh set of international sanctions, and Chancellor Angela Merkel said they could pass soon. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said at a news conference with Merkel that “agreement on the sanctions exists,� despite the fact that “nobody wants sanctions.� “We hope the voice of the international community will be heard by the Iranian leadership,� Medvedev said through the official German translator. Merkel said sanctions could be passed by the United Nations Security Council “in the near future.� Russia has been traditionally opposed to sanctions for Iran, a longtime trade partner, but in recent months officials have shown less patience with Iran’s refusal to stop enriching uranium and heed other council demands meant to reduce suspicions over its nuclear aims .

Pope urges support for Mideast Christians

WASHINGTON (AP) — If you lose your job these days, it’s worth scrambling to find a new one — fast. After six months of unemployment, your chances of landing work dwindle. The proportion of people jobless for six months or more has accelerated in the past year and now makes up 46 percent of the unemployed. That’s the highest percentage on records dating to 1948. By late summer or early fall, they are expected to make up half of all jobless Americans. Economists say those out of work for six months or more risk becoming less and less employable. Their skills can erode, their confidence falter, their contacts dry up. Their growing ranks also will keep pressure on Congress to keep extending jobless benefits, which now run for up to 99 weeks. Overall, the economy has created a net 982,000 jobs this year. But for Jeff Martinez and the record 6.76 million others who have struck out for six

Martinez, 40, a salesman in Washington, D.C., says he’s logged more than 200 interviews in the past three years. Decked out in a dark navy suit and Burberry tie, Martinez projects drive and a zest for deal-making. And yet the most urgent deal of his career — finding a job — eludes him. “You have days where you feel motivated and hopeful and optimistic,� he says. “Then there are other days, you really lose

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI appealed Saturday for support for embattled Christian communities in the Middle East, calling them a vital force for peace in the region. He also met with a Turkish Cypriot Muslim religious leader, part of careful diplomacy reaching out to both sides in the decades-old conflict between ethic Greeks and Turks on the divided island. Benedict’s three-day pilgrimage to Cyprus is part of preparations for a crisis summit of Middle East bishops in Rome in October. Many bishops from the region have traveled to Cyprus to see Benedict and receive a working paper for the summit that will be made public Sunday. War and harsh economic conditions have led to the exodus of thousands of Christians from the Holy Land, Iraq and elsewhere in recent years.

Winner part of Indian-American streak WASHINGTON (AP) — Shantanu Srivatsa and Anamika Veeramani sat nervously, side by side on stage. Once again, an IndianAmerican was going to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee. It was just a matter of what word and what time on Friday. Shantanu, 13, an eighth-grader from West Fargo, N.D., stepped to the microphone first and couldn’t spell “ochidore.� Anamika — showing the cool demeanor she kept throughout — kept her hands behind her back and rattled off the correct letters for the medical term “stromuhr.� She didn’t crack a smile until the trophy was presented. “It was too surreal,�

the faith and think, ‘I’m never going to get another job. Ever.�’ What’s causing the rising ranks of the long-term jobless to exceed the pace of other recessions? Mainly, it’s the depth and duration of the jobslashing this time. Since the recession began in December 2007 through May this year, a net 7.4 million jobs have vanished. The unemployment rate has surged nearly 5 percentage points: From 5 percent in December 2007 to 9.7 percent in May. By contrast, in the last

severe recession, the rate rose less sharply over a shorter period: From 7.2 percent in July 1981 to 10.8 percent at the end of 1982. Lawrence Mishel, president of the Economic Policy Institute, points to the “sheer scale of the falloff in demand for workers� this time. It’s left more people out of work for longer stretches. And it’s intensified competition for each opening. “It’s a cruel game of musical chairs,� Mishel says. To lower the unemployment rate from the current 9.7 percent to a more normal 6 percent would require roughly a net 15 million new jobs by the end of 2016, estimates Brian Bethune, chief U.S. financial economist at IHS Global Insight. Few think that’s likely. One factor behind the growing proportion of the long-term unemployed is the erosion of their workplace skills — or employers’ perception of it. It’s hard to find work in a tight job market when your skills are seen as stale.

Israel remains defiant, seizes Gaza-bound aid ship

LIMA, Peru (AP) — The lone suspect in the disappearance of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway was paraded — moist-eyed and looking stunned — before reporters on Saturday as Peruvians denounced him and detectives began interrogating him about the murder of a Lima student. Joran van der Sloot arrived at criminal police headquarters in a brown Interpol SUV and was escorted across an auditorium of shouting, shutter-snapping journalists three times. Wearing a green bulletproof vest, his hands handcuffed behind him, the husky 22-year-old Dutchman stared straight ahead and didn’t respond to reporters’ questions or even make eye contact. Outside the police headquarters, seven Indian shamans in brightly colored ponchos repeatedly stabbed a cloth doll representing van der Sloot in a “spiritual punishment� ritual.

American bee champion. Indian-Americans comprise less than 1 percent of the U.S. population according to 2000 census data, but they have an impressive bee winning streak — taking the trophy in eight of the past 12 years. “All of the past champions inspire me, they all have something different and they’re all amazing people,� Anamika said after the prime-time finals on Friday. She survived the round by spelling “juvia� — a Brazil nut — and then had to sit through a tense 3 1/2-minute commercial before spelling the championship word. “It was just really nerve-racking,� Anamika said. “The commercial breaks didn’t really help.�

WOODS 10 BACK OF FOWLER AT MEMORIAL

DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Rickie Fowler is one round closer to joining the youth movement on the PGA Tour. On another day of rain at the Memorial, the 21-year-old Fowler extended his bogey-free streak to 52 holes and made enough birdies for a 3-under 69 that gave him a three-shot lead going into the final round at Muirfield Village. Fowler was at 16-under 200 and had the largest 54-hole lead at the Memorial since Tiger Woods led by six in 2000. A victory would be the third by a player 22 years old or young in the last six weeks. Ricky Barnes, who played with Woods, dazzled the large gallery with a 10-under 62 and was at 203, along with Tim Petrovic (68). Woods, the defending champion, shot a 69 with a double bogey and was 10 shots behind. Phil Mickelson also failed to take advantage of the soft and vulnerable course with a 70, leaving him eight shots back.

State. Wells’ eighth-inning homer with two outs, after East had come from four runs back to tie the game, lifted the Buccaneers to the state championship.

NCAA N.C. STATE ELIMINATED FROM BASEBALL TOURNEY

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) — Tyler Johnson pitched eight innings of six-hit ball and Stony Brook used a big first inning to gain its first-ever NCAA tournament win, eliminating North Carolina State 6-2 on Saturday. The Seawolves (30-26) got six runs off first-time Wolfpack starter Anthony Tzamtzis, who gave up three hits, hit two batters and walked a third before leaving with just one out in the game. Johnson (10-3) never let the Atlantic Coast Conference school catch up at the Myrtle Beach Regional. Reliever William Carmona closed things out in the ninth for Stony Brook, which will play Coastal Carolina or College of Charleston in an elimination game Sunday. The America East Conference champs had lost all five of their previous NCAA tournament games before knocking off North Carolina State (38-24). It’s the first time since 1999 the Wolfpack went 0-2 in regional play.

Gary Cunningham, a player, assistant under Wooden and later head coach of the Bruins, cut short a vacation in the Sierra Nevada.

Wooden’s final days filled with love By BETH HARRIS AP Sports Writer

LOS ANGELES — Jamaal Wilkes answered his phone a week ago and heard Michael Warren’s voice urging him to get to the hospital to see John Wooden. The former UCLA coach and Hall of Famer had been in and out of the hospital in recent years, but this time, it was different. Warren told Wilkes that Wooden might be nearing the end of his inspiring life. A few days later, a grave Bill Walton

called Wilkes, saying, “Jamaal, you need to get over here.” So Wilkes headed to campus Wooden to see his 99-year-old former coach, one of many long-ago UCLA basketball greats who gathered at Wooden’s bedside in his final days to say farewell. “There were lots of people coming through,” said Keith Erickson, who starred on the

GRACE CHRISTIAN ATHLETICS

After a big year, Grace upbeat about future Baseball program to return in 2011 By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

Note

SANFORD – It was quite a year for Grace Christian’s athletic programs. The Crusaders’ boys soccer team finished first in the NCCSA 3-A West Conference, third in the state and second in the nation for the first time in the school’s history. The Lady Crusaders’ basketball team went undefeated in conference play and won the conference championship for the second straight year. And the boys’ golf team qualified for the state tournament for the first time in history. All of that sure made the athletic seasons memorable at Grace Christian School. As great of a year as it was for the Crusaders, new Athletic Director Chris

Over the next few weeks, The Herald will take a look back — and a look ahead — at the athletic seasons for each of the county’s high schools.

Pratt says that he is even more excited about the future. Pratt replaces Steve Murr, who announced in late April that he was leaving to pursue an administrative career in education. “I want to build off what Steve has done for the last few years here,” said Pratt. “I want to build athletic programs. I don’t want to just have teams; I want to establish winning programs. Ideally,

At 2-all in the second-set tiebreaker of Saturday’s taut final against Samantha Stosur of Australia, Schiavone hit a forehand volley winner and raised a fist, well aware she was four points from victory. Schiavone next smacked a volley to end a nine-stroke exchange and jumped to celebrate. Three points away. A forehand

winner followed, and Schiavone screamed. Two points away. She slid through the red clay and, lunging, poked yet another volley winner. She yelled again, hopping in place. One point away. And then, after delivering a spin-laden backhand from the baseline, Schiavone watched the ball glance off Stosur’s racket frame and deflect harmlessly in

TRACKSIDE Bodine has high hopes in 1st Cup race in 6 years

THE BELMONT STAKES

MLB BRIEFS in his right knee. The move, announced in a statement Saturday, is retroactive to June 1. Perez arrived at Citi Field on Friday and complained of discomfort in his knee. Perez, who underwent surgery on the same knee in September 2009, had an MRI later that night. He will begin a rehab stint in Florida and it is not known when he will begin throwing again. Perez is 0-3 with a 6.28 ERA in 11 appearances, including seven starts. The 28-year-old has allowed 43 hits over 38 2/3 innings with 30 strikeouts and a teamhigh 33 walks.

Hill’s single in 14th lifts Jays over Yanks 3-2 TORONTO (AP) — Aaron Hill singled home the winning run in the 14th inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 3-2 on Saturday. Facing right-hander Chad Gaudin (0-3), New York’s sixth pitcher of the game, Edwin Encarnacion led off the bottom of the 14th with a walk, then took second on Fred Lewis’ sacrifice bunt.

Drosselmeyer pulls off upset

NEW YORK (AP) — Drosselmeyer finally got a shot in a Triple Crown race and it paid off with an upset in the $1 million Belmont Stakes. Left out of the Kentucky Derby because he hadn’t earned enough money to qualify, Drosselmeyer staged a stirring stretch run and beat Fly Down by three-quarters of a length Saturday in the final leg of the Triple Crown. With neither Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver nor Preakness winner Lookin At Lucky in the field, the 1 1/2-mile Belmont looked to be a matchup of classic runner-ups — Ice Box from the Derby vs. First Dude from the Preakness. First Dude took the lead from the start, but couldn’t hold off Drosselmeyer in the stretch and finished third. Ice Box, the 9-5 favorite trained by Nick Zito, was never in contention and finished ninth in the 12-horse field. Fly Down, also trained by Zito, was the second choice at 5-1. The victory not only reaffirmed Drosselmeyer’s talent after failing to win in his past three starts, it also produced a few firsts for a pair of Hall of Famers. Jockey Mike Smith ended his 0 for 12 record in the Belmont, and trainer Bill Mott won his first Triple Crown race. “It all came together,”

said Mott, best known as the trainer of the great Cigar in 1995-96. “I think it was just a matter of time with some of the good horses I get to train that it was going to happen.” One reason it happened may be a jockey switch to Smith from Kent Desormeaux. “I felt like the horse needed a little change in routine,” said WinStar Farm racing manager Elliott Walden. “We went to Mike because we felt he would get him in a rhythm and keep him running. This horse really kicked hard turning for home and finished strong.” WinStar seems to making all the right calls these days, and closed out the Triple Crown with wins in two races — they also own Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver. Super Saver and Preakness winner Lookin At Lucky did not run in the final leg of the Triple Crown. On a hot, sunny Saturday in front of 45,243 at Belmont Park, Drosselmeyer was sent off at odds of 13-1. It was Smith who made a key decision to keep his long-striding colt in the clear. He eased the gleaming chestnut to the outside for the run down the backstretch, always keeping First Dude within range. Drosselmeyer made a four wide move on the final turn and continued widest of all, eventually

Grace Continued from Page 1B

I’d like to see every team competing in the state tournament.� As the new AD, one of the first things Pratt is looking to do is to introduce more sports for students to participate in. Starting in the fall, Grace Christian will offer a middle school girls’ tennis team. In the spring, the school will have a middle school boys’ tennis team. All of the matches will be played at O.T. Sloan Park in Sanford. The school will also field its first junior varsity volleyball team and a varsity cross country team in the fall. The biggest change, however, comes on the diamond. After two years of not having a program, Grace Christian is bringing back its varsity baseball team in the spring. The middle school team recently finished an undefeated conference season, and with the majority of the players moving up to the high school level, Pratt felt it was the right time to bring the baseball program back. “I’m very excited about having baseball back at Grace,� said Pratt. “We’ve got some players currently in high school interested in playing and a lot of the middle school players are moving up. With all of the success that our middle school team has had, we felt that it was time for them to start playing with the big boys.� Bucky Payne has been the coach of the Crusaders’ middle school baseball team, which recently finished 18-1, with its only loss coming from Gospel Light’s varsity program. Pratt says that Payne will most likely be moving up to become the varsity head coach. “Bucky wants to move up to the varsity level,� said Pratt. “With all of the success he’s had with our middle school team, we know that he’ll do a good job with the varsity team. We’re confident that he can continue winning at the varsity level the way he did with the middle school team.� Steve Murr also served as the boys’ basketball coach for the last two seasons. His departure opened the door for his brother, Tim, to return to the sidelines as the head coach of the Crusaders, where he built the program into a perennial state title contender. “The boys’ basketball team was young and still developing as players,� said Pratt. “I think with Tim coming in, they’re going to be back with a vengeance. The players all seem confident about Tim because he’s someone

a lot of them are familiar with. I expect nothing but success from Tim. I know he’s going to do a good job.� Pratt, who will still serve as the boys’ soccer coach, is hoping that the 2010 Crusaders can be even more successful than the 2009 team that finished 21-5-1 and 11-1 in conference play. The Crusaders also finished second in the NACA National Tournament. Back for the Crusaders will be Aaron Norris, Ben Holt, goalkeeper Brandon Welborn, Alex Kerr and Edgar Beltran. “We lost five main contributors, but we’ve got good players coming in,� said Pratt. “Word is getting out about our program. I’m expecting us to come back and still contend at the state and national level.� Back on the hardwood, the Lady Crusaders, coached by Joel Murr, went 21-9 before losing in the quarterfinals of the NCCSA 3-A State Tournament. The Lady Crusaders will lose two seniors, Natasha Cox and Priscilla Barron, but will return top players Haley Bryant, Taylor Comte and Alexis McGilberry for their senior seasons. “Joel is doing such a great job with that team,� said Pratt. “He’s got a lot of his players coming back and I’m confident that they are going to come out and be even better next year. He’s got a lot of great players on this team and I have all the confidence in the world that they’re going to be successful.� The volleyball team, which only lost two seniors from this year’s team, will feature six seniors in 2010, giving the team much needed veteran leadership that could help bring success to head coach Stacey Gamble and her Lady Crusaders. “We’re going to be very senior heavy on the volleyball team for the first time in about four years,� said Pratt. “We’re looking for big things out of Stacey Gamble and her team.� On top of bringing in additional sports, Pratt hopes that the Grace Christian athletic programs can help build the players into better people on and off the field or court. “We get into coaching to not only win, but to build character and to build each athlete into a better person,� said Pratt. “We’ve got coaches here that don’t just care about the success of their team on the field or on the court, but they also truly care about the kids and help prepare them so they can become successful at the next level. I want us to continue doing that. To me, that’s what success is about.�

NBA FINALS — ABC, 8 P.M.

Celtics scheming against Kobe EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Rajon Rondo often enjoys returning to his room at the Celtics’ hotel and watching tape of a Boston victory before he goes to sleep. The losses, not so much. Yet Rondo did just that after the NBA finals opener Thursday with teammate Kendrick Perkins, ordering room service and watching the replay of the Los Angeles Lakers’ decisive win. In his own room elsewhere in the hotel, Kevin Garnett did the same thing — twice. “You learn a lot about yourself when you lose,� Garnett said. “You learn a lot about yourself when you’re down. This shows what you’re made of.� While Rondo and Perkins muted the television, Garnett turned it up to hear every unflattering thing said about the Celtics. Yet all three came away from the film session with two conclusions: Kobe Bryant is awfully good, but Boston still can compete with the Lakers. “That might be the first time after a loss that I watched a game again so quickly,� Rondo said Saturday before Boston’s workout at the Lakers’ training complex. “This isn’t the first round any more. You don’t

I think I correct my mistakes better when I see them.� Rondo, Perkins and their teammates all promised increased intensity in every aspect of their considerable games when they look to avoid an 0-2 series hole Sunday night in Game 2. After staggering into this finals rematch with an unimpressive effort, Boston hopes focus and adjustments will make their trip out West worthwhile. “Everybody gets punched,� Celtics big man Glen Davis said. “Everybody

gets knocked out. It’s about how you get up. We got punched. We got dazed. It’s about how you react to it.� The Celtics all realize that while Bryant’s offensive artistry is responsible for most of the attention directed at him, particularly after 12 30-point games already in this postseason, he’s a perennial all-defensive team selection for a reason. Rondo used his film session to analyze exactly what Bryant did to slow down both the Celtics and their young point guard. “He’s a good defensive player, and we all knew

that,� Rondo said. “He did a great job on me. A lot of what they do on both ends keys off Kobe.� Bryant guarded Rondo at times during the 2008 finals largely because the matchup left him free to help out on other defensive matchups while daring Rondo to beat them. After Rondo shredded Cleveland and Orlando in consecutive playoff series, he’s possibly the Celtics’ single biggest offensive threat. The Lakers concentrated on using Bryant’s superior size to direct Rondo into tough areas of the court.

STANLEY CUP FINALS — NBC, 8 P.M.

Blackhawks trying to regroup CHICAGO (AP) — When they won the first two games of the Stanley Cup finals, the Chicago Blackhawks were soaring. A trip to Philadelphia brought them back to reality in a hurry. After two wins by the gritty Flyers on their home ice tied the series, the championship round is now a best-of-3. Before Sunday night’s Game 5 back at the United Center, the Blackhawks know they have adjust — to the Flyers’ speed, to Philly’s rugged defense led by veteran Chris Pronger, to their own inability to get scoring from their top players — or risk losing what they’ve come this far to achieve. Coach Joel Quenneville is expected to mix some lines, and Chicago’s defense hopes to give goalie Antti Niemi more support against a balanced Flyers’ attack that has shown to be the Blackhawks’ equal. To re-establish themselves, the Blackhawks know they can’t repeat their mistakes from Games

3-4. Defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson’s poor puck handling near the net led to a pair of first-period goals by the Flyers en route to a 5-3 victory. And Chicago was too slow with a line change in Game 3, helping set up Philly’s game-winning goal in overtime that produced a 4-3 victory. Niemi, whose stellar play in the final period of Game 2 preserved a Chicago victory, gave up eight goals in the two games at the Wachovia Center. “He’s played well for us all season. ... We’re not worried at all,� Chicago’s Brent Sopel said Saturday. “We left him high and dry as defensemen.� Philadelphia’s Michael Leighton, meanwhile, ran his record to 8-2 with the victory Friday night. The former Blackhawk has a .924 save percentage and a 2.14 goals-against average. And his defense gave him great support in Game 4 with 28 blocked shots. One of the Flyers’ big advantages in the series

Chicago’s power play is just 1-for-9 after converting a 5-on-3 Friday night, while Philadelphia is 5-for-16. “We know we have to do a better job of staying out of the box,� Sopel said. “We got to start taking pucks and bodies to the net.� That’s where 257pound Dustin Byfuglien is supposed to be the

force for the Blackhawks. But Chicago’s top line of Byfuglien, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane have combined for only one goal and four assists in the four games. Byfuglien, bothered by the constant checking and stick work of Pronger, has not scored a goal and neither has Toews, the NHL’s postseason points leader.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Joe Torre, a longtime friend, came by, too. “It was very sweet,” said Andy Hill, a reserve on UCLA’s national championship teams in 1970, ’71 and ’72. “I got to tell him he can leave, but he really can’t because he’s in all of us.” Erickson spent a few minutes with Wooden on Wednesday night, tenderly holding the long, bony fingers of his mentor’s hand. “When I spoke to him, he opened his eyes just a little bit and got a little bit of a smile,” he said. “He talked a little bit, but I couldn’t tell what he was

saying.” By Friday, though, Erickson said it was evident the end was near. Wooden didn’t respond to anyone in the room, resting with his pale blue eyes closed, hours away from his long awaited reunion with his late wife Nell. “They had a very, very close relationship. I’m sure today John is a happy person,” said Gene Bartow, who had the unenviable task of succeeding Wooden in Westwood. Erickson reminisced Saturday under the 11 national championship banners hanging in a quiet Pauley Pavilion, taking solace in knowing that Wooden was no longer in pain. “The last couple years he was not happy. He didn’t want to go through this, but he was a fighter,” he said. “He went

reading the old ones. What you are as a person is far more important that what you are as a basketball player. Never mistake activity for achievement. Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then. Ability is a poor man’s wealth. Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights. If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over? The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team. If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes. It isn’t what you do, but how you do it. Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out. It’s the little details that

two years longer than anybody thought he could and he kept getting real sick and he came back.” Walton didn’t join Saturday’s informal player gathering on Nell and John Wooden Court at Pauley Pavilion. “The joy and happiness in Coach Wooden’s life came from the success and accomplishments of others. He never let us forget what he learned from his two favorite teachers, Abraham Lincoln and Mother Teresa, “that a life not lived for others is not a life,“’ Walton said in a statement released by the university. “I thank John Wooden everyday for all his selfless gifts, his lessons, his time, his vision and especially his faith and patience. This is why our eternal love for him will never

1974 — The Bruins’ record 88-game winning streak is snapped with a 71-70 loss at Notre Dame. 1975 — Announces after 75-74 NCAA semifinal win over Louisville that he is retiring after 27 seasons as head coach at UCLA. After winning the 10th national title under Wooden with a 92-85 win over Kentucky, Wooden’s overall career record stood at 885-203, including 620-147 at UCLA. His record in 12 Final Four appearances was 21-3. 1977 — The John Wooden Award is presented for the first time to the national player of the year, UCLA’s Marques Johnson. 1985 — Nell Wooden dies after 53 years of marriage. 1985 — Is presented the Bellarmine Medal of Excellence. He is the first sports figure to be honored following such winners such as Mother Teresa and Walter Cronkite. 1994 — Inducted into GTE/Academic AllAmerica Hall of Fame. 1995 — Presented with NCAA’s Theodore Roosevelt Sportsman Award. 2002 — Elected as a charter member of the Pac-10 Hall of Honor. 2003 — Presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honor, at the White House. 2003 — UCLA names the court at Pauley Pavilion after John and Nell Wooden. 2009 — Wooden is selected as the “Greatest Coach in American Sports History” by “The Sporting News.” Former Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi was second in the voting of a 118-member panel with Alabama football coach Bear Bryant third, the NBA’s Phil Jackson fourth and pro football’s Don Shula fifth.

are vital. Little things make big things happen. You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. Flexibility is the key to stability. Be quick, but don’t hurry. You can’t let praise or criticism get to you. It’s a weakness to get caught up in either one. Sports do not build character. They reveal it. Although I wanted my players to work to win, I tried to convince them they had always won when they had done their best. Young people need models, not critics. John Wooden’s Seven Point Creed, given to him by his father upon John’s graduation from grammar school: *Be true to yourself. *Make each day your masterpiece. *Help others. *Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible. *Make friendship a fine art. *Build a shelter against a rainy day. *Pray for guidance and

give thanks for your blessings every day. Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow. The most important key to achieving great success is to decide upon your goal and launch, get started, take action, move. Don’t measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but what you should have accomplished with your ability. Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming. Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is mangiven. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful. It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts. • Thanks, Coach. Rest comfortably in the peace you’ve given the world the blueprint to build.

of others.” Like Wooden, who starred at Purdue, Larry Bird became an Indiana basketball legend. The Indiana Pacers president said in a statement, “John Wooden, basketball, Indiana. One doesn’t go without the others.” Denny Crum played for Wooden from 1956-58, then served as his assistant on three NCAA title teams before leaving to coach Louisville in 1971. “Coach never talked about winning, ever,” he said. “His theory was that you get the guys in shape, you teach ’em the fundamentals and then you get ’em to play together. And he did that better than anybody. “If you asked him what he did, he’d tell you he was a teacher. That’s what he did. He was really good at that.”

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are writing about our only daughter, “Jessica,” who has been married to “Ron” for three years. Jessica recently expressed displeasure (initiated by Ron) about how close we are with Ron’s parents. They feel our friendship is somehow unusual or threatening. The in-laws are aware of it and don’t intend to change their relationship with us. From the time that Jessica began dating Ron, my husband and I formed a lovely and close bond with these people. We include each other at family and holiday gatherings. We’re baffled, hurt and resent being told to back off from a relationship we cherish. We can’t see the logic behind it, and it has put a strain on our relationship with our daughter and son-in-law. What do you think about this, Abby? — BAFFLED IN VIRGINIA DEAR BAFFLED: Ron may not have as close a relationship with his parents as you do with your daughter. Perhaps they would like to see less of the in-laws. By including them at every family and holiday gathering, you may be forcing more contact than Ron and Jessica would like. So my advice is — at least for a while — that you continue to socialize with these people as friends but curtail some of those family activities. See “the kids” alone sometimes, and you may learn the reason they feel the

way they do. o DEAR ABBY: One of my friends asks to borrow my discount card (that I pay for) every time we go shopping together. She recently asked me to let her know the next time I plan to go to a particular membership store, so she can tag along and get my discount. Until now, I have always agreed, but it’s beginning to bother me. Am I wrong to feel this way? Am I being selfish? If not, is there a tactful way to let her know how I feel? — WISE SHOPPER, JACKSONVILLE, FLA. DEAR WISE SHOPPER: Not knowing your friend, it’s hard to determine whether she’s a mooch or someone who needs a break. Because you feel your generosity is being taken advantage of, a way to handle it would be to tell her that

you sometimes decide to shop at the last minute and therefore can’t always include her. Another would be to “forget” to mention you’re going. Of course there is a third way, and that would be to tell her how you feel — but it’s risky because while true, it’s not tactful. o DEAR ABBY: I have enjoyed the “pennies from heaven” stories you print from time to time. For a while I have wanted to write and tell you my story. A few days after my mother passed away, my husband and I went to dinner at a local restaurant. We usually pay for our dinners with a credit card, but this time we decided to use cash. Our change was a few dollars and a penny. For some reason, I decided to check the date on the penny. It was dated 1922, the year of my mother’s birth. I am in my 50s and had never found such an old penny before. The 1922 penny is now among other treasures that my mother left me. I don’t believe in coincidences, Abby. I really do believe Mother had something to do with the penny we received. I consider it my “penny from heaven.” — SEATTLE READER DEAR READER: A penny as proof of a mother’s love? I wouldn’t be surprised.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — A missing piece of the moon may have been found in Morgantown. Retired dentist Robert Conner learned Friday that the one-gram rock fragment he found in his late brother’s possessions a decade ago was actually presented to the state by NASA during the 1970s. “I didn’t even know we had one that could go missing,” Conner said. “It’s been on a shelf.” The rock was part of 135 fragments collected during the Apollo 17 mission and given to the 50 states and several countries, said Joe Gutheinz Jr., a former NASA investigator. The Texas lawyer has challenged his graduate students since 2002 to locate missing moon rocks that were collected during Apollo 11 and 17 missions and presented as goodwill gifts. Over the years, Gutheinz estimates more than 100 of the 270 fragments collected during both missions have been lost, stolen or destroyed. But, based on the description Conner gave him Friday, Gutheinz is convinced Conner has a real moon fragment in his possession. “This is a major recovery,” he said.

East Providence police said 29-year-old Jeremy Menard was found sleeping in the basement of the two-family home Friday morning and arrested. Resident Carmine Balzano said his wife found Menard. Menard was arraigned on breaking and entering charges Friday. He was released and is due back in court in August. It was unclear whether he had hired a lawyer. Balzano said Menard “would have never made it out of (his) house” if he has hurt his wife.

God will go with son in the military Q: Our son is planning to enlist in the military in a few months. I know we’re supposed to believe God will take care of him, but right now we’ve got a bad case of nerves and our fears are a lot stronger than our faith. How can we get over this? -- Mrs. J.E. A: Almost every parent who’s seen a son or daughter (or in my case, a grandson) enter the military has had similar feelings -- and they are understandable. You love your son very much, and you know he is choosing an important but potentially dangerous career. But God also loves your son -- in fact, even more than you do! If God didn’t care for your son, you’d have every right to be nervous and fearful. But He does care about him -- and that’s why you can trust him into God’s hands, even in the face of uncertainty and danger. The Bible’s promise is clear: “The Lord watches over you. The Lord is like a shade tree at your right hand” (Psalm 121:5, NIRV). Does this mean your son will never face danger, or even injury or death, in the years ahead? I wish I could promise this -- but I can’t, because evil is real, and no one is exempt from life’s dangers. But it does mean you can pray for him and know that God will hear your prayers. It also means that even if hard times come, God is still with you -- and with him. My prayer is that both you and your son will turn to Christ in a fresh way, and commit your lives and your futures into His hands. Then encourage your son to walk with Christ every day as he faces the dangers (and temptations) of military service.

Sabatino’s Italian Restaurant & Bar will open on the corner of Carthage and Steele streets in the old Makepeace building, a spot that most recently housed Cafe Toscana. Though I was unable to get in touch with the owner last week, a sign went up in the restaurant’s window proclaiming many of the pertinent details for the establishment. It will feature both lunch and dinner as well as a full bar and 50-person private banquet room. Vesuvio’s famous rotisserie chicken will be available at the new restaurant as well, along with pizza, subs, paninis, soups, salads and daily specials. The sign also states that the owners plan to start hiring soon, so that’s good news as well. Hopefully this week I can speak to the owners and have a specific opening date for next week’s column. Stay tuned.

Winston-Salem man returns to family’s land, turns to farming By MICHAEL HASTINGS AP Member Exchange

WINSTON-SALEM — When Nathan Pitts puts his hands in the dirt, he’s not playing. He’s counting on that dirt for a paycheck. Pitts, 31, is the owner and sole employee of Shore Farms Organics, where carefully tended, rich soil is the foundation for picture-perfect produce. Good soil is important because Pitts doesn’t use any pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Pitts is a new breed of farmer. He’s learning to make a living off just a few acres by diversifying crops and revenue sources. He sells directly to consumers and restaurants. “I’ve always loved to grow things,” he said. “Starting a seed and watching it grow into food that people are going to eat -- it’s just fun.” Pitts farms land that has been in his mother’s family for generations. Once, it was about 600 acres and was used by his grandfather and great-grandfather for training bird dogs. Now 25 acres remain, but Pitts needs only a few of those. He grows basil, fennel, chard, broccoli, tomatoes, okra, squash, pumpkins and more. He sells the vegetables and he sells the plants.

Even the sunflowers, which he uses to attract bees, will be sold as cut flowers. Just as important as the diversity of crops is the diversity of markets. On Tuesdays, he’s at Krankies farmers market at Third Street and Patterson Ave. On Saturday afternoons, he can be found at City Beverage on Burke Street. And in peak periods when he has lots of produce, he goes to the Dixie Classic farmers market on Saturday mornings. He also has started a Community Supported Agriculture program. About 20 people signed up to receive a box of produce every week for either 10 or 20 weeks. He sells in bulk to a handful of restaurants, such as New Town Bistro, Meridian and 6th and Vine. And he keeps in touch with his customers through his website — shorefarmsorganics.com — and Facebook. For years, Pitts dreamed of having his own farm. “He’s always been good with the earth,” said his mother, Gaye Shore Pitts, a retired teacher who lives on the farm with Pitts. “When he was a toddler, he used to follow me around the garden. And when he was young he said, ’I don’t think I would ever be happy working inside.”’

CHAMBER CHAT

How we will go from an ‘A’ to a ‘D’

I Bob Joyce Bob Joyce is President of the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce.

n 2008, Lee County 2nd Century hired a nationally known consultant, Kathleen Rose, to perform a study of our community which compared us to communities across the nation. Her report provided a letter grade for various aspects of our quality of life which the Chamber used to set its program of work for the year. For example, we received a “C” for our education system which led to several new initiatives to raise that grade. Our STEM labs, 1 to 1 laptops program and

distance learning classrooms are programs which give us a significant competitive advantage over other school systems and certainly contribute to a higher letter grade for our public schools. We were fortunate to have received an “A” for the arts and

culture aspect of our community; most of that “A” is due to the Temple Theater. We were also complimented for the abundant dance, visual arts and music opportunities available in our community. Annual events like the Brush and Pallet Club’s art show, the Pottery Festival and our Community Orchestra concerts contributed to our high grade as well as monthly events like Screen on the Green,

G-20 SUMMIT

Finance chiefs agree on deficits

BUSAN, South Korea (AP) — World financial leaders pledged Saturday to push ahead on curbing deficits and crafting financial reforms to safeguard the global recovery, including making banks bear much of the burden for government bailouts. As expected, the finance ministers and central banks gathered in this southern port city finessed what some said were at times heated differences over how to reshape financial regulation and build safety nets for countries stricken by debt crises. The Group of 20 welcomed measures taken by the European Union, the European Central Bank and the IMF, including a $1 trillion bailout, to help countries cope with the fallout from unsustainably high debt. “All of us have a strong interest in seeing those programs succeed in restoring confidence,� U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told reporters after the meetings ended.

Long-term, sustainable growth will depend on rebalancing growth, he said. “The United States is moving aggressively to fix things we got wrong and to strengthen our economic fundamentals,� Geithner said, noting that as Americans boost savings and investment and consume less, other countries will need to generate more growth. “All the countries recognize the basic reality that the U.S. is reforming and adjusting and that for the world to grow at its potential it is going to require that growth outside the U.S. will come more from domestic demand than in the past,� he said. Europe’s sovereign debt crisis — and Hungary’s warning this week that it risks a Greek-style meltdown of its own — sharpened worries that the global economy could succumb to another downturn following the one sparked by the collapse of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers in 2008.

The precarious levels of indebtedness among many countries also has driven home the need to restore what in G-20 speak is called “fiscal sustainability,� participants said. “There is a significant change of tone in the language that the G-20 use on the issue of fiscal sustainability and there is a very explicit reference in the communique to those countries with serious fiscal challenges needing to accelerate the pace of consolidation,� said British Chancellor George Osborne. While the euro fell below $1.20 for the first time in more than four years Friday in reaction to Hungary’s woes, European officials insisted the problem was being overstated. “Hungary has made serious progress in consolidating its public finances over the last couple of years,� Olli Rehn, Europe’s commissioner for economic and monetary affairs, told reporters. Any talk of a risk of default “is widely exaggerated,� he said.

Skin was torn off the right side of his face and scalp. He had to have surgery to implant a permanent rod in his femur to help him walk again. He came back home for physical therapy, and his recovery gave him lots of time to think. “As I was getting better, I started getting this idea,� Pitts said. “I always wanted to do this but never had the means.� From the beginning, Pitts has used organic practices at his farm. He eventually hopes to become certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. “I figure if I can grow things without chemicals, why use them?� he said. For a natural fertilizer, Pitts uses worm castings, composted worm manure that he gets from NatureWorks Organics in Clemmons. A one-time application of a small handful of castings at the base of each plant can increase growth 300 percent or more, he said.

To avoid chemical weed killers, he composts leaves around plants, which also helps retain moisture and conserve water. He deals with insects by applying clove and peppermint oil or by just picking them off by hand. But a lot of organic farming starts with good soil and healthy plants. Pitts’ growing practices led the Piedmont chapter of Slow Food to give Shore Farms its Snail of Approval award, for farms that are committed to quality food and sustainable agriculture. Pitts said that though he’s making money, so far he has been putting his profits back into the business. Sometimes he wonders what he got into. “I work 7 days a week, 16 to 17 hours a day. I’m always planting something,� he said. Gaye Pitts doesn’t think that her son would have it any other way. “He’s always been a 24/7 kind of guy,� she said. “And he’s doing what makes him happy.�

By the time Pitts graduated from high school in 1997, the land wasn’t being used. Pitts went to work for Lowe’s home-improvement and worked in a garden shop. Later, his green thumb got him promoted to the district level, where he traveled to any Lowe’s garden shop with sagging sales. His job was to fix the problems. But that job just wasn’t dirty enough: “I like to be outside. I’m not a suit-and-tie kind of guy.� He migrated to Florida, quit Lowe’s, and started working in construction. Then, in 2007, he was seriously injured in a car wreck. “A guy hit me at 130 miles an hour from behind,� Pitts said. “It rode over me and crushed the right side of my body, destroyed the car. I was lucky I wasn’t paralyzed.�

Function at the Junction, and Rhythm at the Pavilion. But the Temple is the star of the Lee County arts world offerings and the envy of our competition among other small cities across the state. Unfortunately, the Temple Theater is facing potential cuts which would devastate its ability to operate and would certainly reduce our grade for arts and culture versus other communities our size. The City of Sanford is wrestling with the details of its 2010-2011 budget. The Temple’s funding seems to be on the bubble. Lee County’s contribution to the Temple appears to be safe for now. One point of view is that these are difficult times and every business has cut back on staff and operating expenses. Good point. Businesses look critically at every single expenditure these days and so has the Temple. Theater managers have reduced the operating budget by 42 percent since 2007. The staff has taken pay cuts. Benefits have been reduced or cut entirely. Another tactic used by businesses to survive in difficult times is to apply a return on investment test to every operation. With over 29,000 people attending Temple shows, the theater provides a significant economic boost to our restaurants and shops. How should we determine return on the City’s investment? As a destination for day trip tourists and retirees, the Temple attracts visitors from at least 12 NC counties as well as out of state patrons. According to a formula devised by tourism researchers, the average day trip expenditure is around $55 per person. Around 70

percent of Temple patrons come from out of town. That means the economic impact of the Temple exceeds $1 million. Now let’s talk about jobs. According to the Temple’s figures, over 100 actors received pay checks totaling about $100,000. The Temple’s 5 full-time staff members should be counted, too. N.C. Department of Commerce figures show about 560 jobs in Lee County are attributable to tourism. The Temple could reasonably be credited with at least five percent, or 28 jobs, in businesses such as restaurants and shops. What about other intangible benefits to the community — what the business community would term “blue sky�? The Temple Theatre supports other non profits, civic groups and local schools by offering complimentary tickets as prizes for fundraising efforts. Corporate sponsors for shows often donate their sponsor tickets to groups such as The Boys and Girls Club, Haven House, The Lighthouse Ministries and YMCA. During the recent run of South Pacific, a special performance was added to benefit The Bread Basket which received $9000 — their biggest annual fundraiser. In the next few weeks, our elected officials will finalize budgets for the 2010-2011 fiscal year which begins July 1. By state law, all local government budgets must be balanced. This is a very difficult task for our elected officials. The Chamber believes funding for the Temple makes good sense. The case is clear that the theater returns much more to the local economy than it receives from local government grants. Let’s keep our grade “A� for arts and culture activities in Lee County. It is definitely good for business.

Financial Moves to Help Stay-at-home Spouses Not all households have two wage earners. By choice or circumstance, either you or your spouse may be out of the work force for an extended period of time. But that doesn’t mean you can’t make progress toward your joint ďŹ nancial goals, such as a comfortable retirement. It does mean, however, that you need to carefully review your situation and make the right ďŹ nancial moves. For starters, consider one of the best retirement-savings vehicles you have available: an Individual Retirement Account, or IRA. Even if your spouse isn’t earning income, he or she can open a “spousal IRAâ€? to which you, as the income-earning spouse, can contribute. (Keep in mind, though, that you must ďŹ le a joint tax return if you contribute to a spousal IRA.) Depending on your income level, you can designate a spousal IRA as either a traditional IRA, which grows on a tax-advantaged basis, or a Roth IRA, which can grow tax-free, provided your spouse has held the account for at least ďŹ ve years and is at least age 59½ before taking distributions. And a spousal IRA has the same contribution limits — $5,000 in 2010, or $6,000 if your spouse is 50 or older — as a traditional or Roth IRA.

Clearly, if you want to increase the cumulative opportunities for building tax-advantaged resources for both your retirements, a spousal IRA can be an attractive option. Furthermore, if your spouse allocates his or her IRA funds to investments that complement — rather than duplicate — those investments inside your IRA, the spousal IRA can prove to be a valuable tool for diversifying your overall holdings. While diversiďŹ cation, by itself, cannot guarantee a proďŹ t or protect against loss, it can help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio. To help achieve this diversiďŹ cation between your IRA and the spousal IRA, you may want to work with a ďŹ nancial advisor. Another move you can make to help your stay-at-home spouse is easy to accomplish but also easy to overlook — namely, updating your beneďŹ ciary designations on your 401(k), IRA, other investment accounts, life insurance policies and

all ďŹ nancial and legal documents. This step is particularly important if you’ve been divorced or widowed, and you want to be sure your stay-athome spouse comes into possession of all the assets you had intended for him or her. Of course, in this day and age, “stay-at-homeâ€? status can change quickly. If your spouse enters or re-enters the work force, you as a couple should consider adjusting your ďŹ nancial plans. Your spouse can continue contributing to the spousal IRA you’ve established, but he or she may now have other opportunities in which to save for retirement, such as a 401(k) or similar employersponsored retirement plan. And if your spouse has been out of the work force for a while, it will be important for him or her to contribute as much as possible to a retirement plan. In any case, whether your spouse stays at home or returns to the work force, you’ll want to be proactive in making sure he or she doesn’t get left behind on the road to ďŹ nancial security.

DURHAM HERALD-SUN/Christine T. Nguyen

Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, co-founder of the neo-monastic community Rutba House in Durham, is the author of “The Wisdom of Stability: Rooting Faith in a Mobile Culture.”

Monastic movement takes hold in Durham community BY DAWN BAUMGARTNER VAUGHAN Durham Herald-Sun

DURHAM — After seven years in Durham’s Walltown neighborhood, the roots of Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove and Rutba House are firmly implanted in the ground. And they won’t be uprooted anytime soon. Wilson-Hartgrove is a leader in the new monastic movement that focuses on prayer, engagement with the community, hospitality, relationships with the poor and living cooperatively. Jonathan and Leah Wilson-Hartgrove live with their children in one of two homes of the Rutba House community, named for a town in Iraq where the couple spent time during the war. Others who live in the house are a single woman and two single men. A family of four and a single man live in another house nearby. Everyone gathers together for morning and evening prayers and dinner together. Some came simply because they like the idea of living in a Christian community, Wilson-Hartgrove said. One

member is an Episcopal priest from Sudan. Since Rutba House was founded seven years ago, 47 people have lived there. While some come and go, the Wilson-Hartgroves are part of a core group of five adults here to stay. They made a vow of stability, a covenant to live the rest of their lives in the Walltown neighborhood, a historically black community of modest homes. Some houses are in good shape, some aren’t. Rutba House residents invite friends and neighbors — regardless of their means — to dinner or prayer time. Developing relationships and making a difference takes time. Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove writes about it in his new book “The Wisdom of Stability: Rooting Faith in a Mobile Culture.” “After seven years, we’ve got a good start,” he said. He has learned that neighborhoods like Walltown were formed by institutional racism yet include a real sense of self-help and a sense of value and community, he said. The Wilson-Hartgroves met in college in Philadelphia, and while tutoring kids after school, learned firsthand about racial

justice issues in communities. “I learned the only way to make a difference is to spend decades in a place,” Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove said. He grew up in rural North Carolina, and in high school went to Washington, D.C., to be a Senate page for Strom Thurmond. He was pretty conservative when he left home, he said, and had a clear sense of religious calling to use American power for good in the world. But an encounter with a homeless man burst that bubble, he said. On the way to lunch at Union Station one day, a man asked him for change. Wilson-Hartgrove didn’t know what to do. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said to give what people ask. So he raced back to his dorm, got some money, brought it back to the man and started a conversation. In D.C., everyone is always rushing, he said. The homeless man slowed him down. “I started asking questions. It set me on a different path,” he said. From D.C., he went to Germany on a federal student exchange program, and there also

recent conclusion from the Government Accountability Office says that “supplements often contain trace amounts of lead, mercury, arsenic and potentially dangerous levels of pesticides.” Most products, it reports (and often labeled as ‘distributed by’) are now produced overseas. Some federal and state politicians want better oversight on both quality and health claims coming from these companies. What may be surprising to many, perhaps, is that I agree that more

everal years ago I bought a graduation card from Academy Greetings with a banner across the top that says Caterpillar High. Butterflies below the stage are clapping by flapping their wings while others wearing graduation caps are flying in formation towards a bearded butterfly who is handing out scroll-like diplomas. Only one caterpillar is walking slowly up the stairs, unable to fly, and he is thinking, “Boy, I guess I shouldn’t have skipped that last class.” While most courses in high school and college add to our basic education and some to specific knowledge I think the missing class not offered in the curriculum relates to our mental outlook. To progress in life, education is not enough, training and work experience are not sufficient. There is a crucial ingredient in success: a positive mental attitude. Our attitude encompasses our thoughts and feelings about ourselves, others, and everything in our lives. A positive outlook is optimistic, constructive, helpful, encouraging, affirming, and accepting. The mind’s power can be the determining factor whether a graduate gets a job or whether any individual achieves goals. Attitude is more important than any education and experience in life. Existing successfully on this planet is like going to school because we need to constantly learn new skills to survive and thrive in society. When we get in deep ruts and resist change we skip the

ne of the things I have learned from having spent more than sixty years as a Christian minister is that our five senses are incomplete without a sixth — a sense of humor. A sense of humor reduces people and problems to their proper size. Those who have a sense of humor are able to view the hardships they face and the slip-ups they make as lessons rather than mistakes. These are transformed into opportunities to learn something about human behavior — especially our own. Humor and laughter are also extremely important in relationships. Sharing a good laugh with someone does wonders. This is no doubt why Victor Borge said, “Laughter is the closest distance between two people.” The health benefits — both mental and physical — of humor are well documented. A good laugh can diffuse tension, relieve stress, and release endorphins into your system, which act as a natural mood elevator. Norman Cousins, in Anatomy of an Illness, describes the regimen he followed to overcome a serious, debilitating disease from which he had suffered. It included large doses of laughter and humor. Published in 1976, his book has been widely read and accepted by the medical community. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in Solitude, emphasizes the value of laughter in all our relationships by saying, “Laugh and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you will weep alone; For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own.” Laughter keeps you

monitoring is important. It should come from the industry itself, however, not the government. Those who have worked with me know I am very particular about product selection. The supplement industry has, in my opinion, gotten away from its clinical application (where it belongs) and into Wal Mart and other discount retailers. It has grown to a $25 billion retail industry because people want cheap quick fixes for their health, with little consumer protection

in place. High-paid marketing professionals can capture an eager audience with an alluring label, leaving the important information in small print, and hiding crucial details as if they were not important. These are marketing games that should be avoided when it comes to our health. Unethical retail salespeople often take advantage of this opportunity to increase their own incomes. This is a sad-but-

from taking yourself too seriously, even during extremely difficult moments. It causes misery to vanish, and enables you to gain a new perspective. It helps you to take your eyes off yesterday’s problems so you can count today’s blessings and begin to see the opportunities tomorrow offers. Have you ever heard it said of someone, “If he were to laugh, his face would break in two?� Such persons give evidence of having been born in the objective case, because they live every day in a negative mood. I have known people like that, and I suspect you have also. Life does not have to be lived that way. The Psalmist tells us, “When the Lord brought back the captive ones of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our

engaged homeless people on the street, listening to their stories as he learned to speak German. Back in the States, he liked the idea of Christian communities sitting down at the table together with people off the streets. Since moving to Durham, Wilson-Hartgrove has earned his master of divinity from Duke Divinity School. He did his internship at St. John’s Baptist Church on Onslow Street. St. John’s is part of the Walltown Ministries group of churches — including Watts Street Baptist and Blacknall Presbyterian — involved in community outreach. The membership at St. John’s is predominantly black. Wilson-Hartgrove is white. He and his wife were welcomed at the church and eventually built trust. He wanted them to know that they weren’t there to start a program or do a research project, but to just be part of the community. The Rev. Robert L. Daniels has been pastor at the Missionary Baptist church for 25 years. He

mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with joyful shouting� (Psalm 126:1-2a). It is easy to be filled with joy and laughter at such times, isn’t it?� It is a different story when it looks as though the sky is falling. John Masefield once said, “He laughs longest who laughs last.� It is also true that he who laughs, lasts! Those who don’t know how to laugh tend to develop ulcers hypertension, and other physical problems. Laughter will not cause your problems to instantly disappear. It will, however, enable you, with God’s help, to gain a new and healthier perspective on what you are facing so you can move forward in a positive and more joyful way. You don’t stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing. So, give yourself permission to laugh. It will brighten your day.

said that Jonathan and Leah Wilson-Hartgrove have been a natural fit in their commitment with the Lord and the people of Walltown in particular. “Both have worked diligently and been good people for the church and community,� Daniels said. “I feel like this is where the Lord destined him to be and make change and strengthen this community.� Jonathan WilsonHartgrove is an associate minister at St. John’s. “We’re called to work together,� Daniels said. “God is not hung up on color the way we allow ourselves to be hung up on color. We’re brothers and sisters in Jesus.� Wilson-Hartgrove talks about climbing the ladder in “The Wisdom of Stability,� which some people think is the path to success. “What’s deceptive about the ladder is the assumption that where you make a difference in the world is at the top. I think Jesus turns that system on its head when he said that whoever wants to be the greatest should be the servant of all,� he said. Really serving people means paying attention to them, Wilson-Hartgrove said. And that takes time.

true scenario that is all too common these days, leaving the consumers thinking they are taking care of their health, when in fact the decisions being made for them may be harming it. This deceptive practice is described in the recent report which includes results of an undercover operation where investigators disguised as elderly shoppers were given “potentially dangerous advice� by salespeople. Knowing how to read a supplement bottle label is just as important as knowing how to read your bank statement, perhaps more important — at least we can trust most banks. Knowing where the product was made, under what manufacturing standards, and how the raw ingredients were inspected are all crucial. CentrumsŽ, for instance, is made by the merger of pharmaceutical companies Wyeth (makers of Premarin and Prempro) and Pfizer (makers of Lipitor, Celebrex, and Zoloft). Their Centrum Silver Ultra Women’sŽ formula, directing the consumer to take only one a day (and not to exceed this dosage), contains less than half the amount of calcium needed for that age group, and contains iron (not usually recommended for women

over 50). Included in these CentrumsŽ series of products are hydrogenated palm oil, polyethelene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, talc, synthetic dyes, and titanium dioxide. Additionally, most of their formulas contain tin. (Isn’t tin a heavy metal that government officials are asking companies to avoid?) The CentrumsŽ website (www.Centrums.com) describes the complete product ingredients and states that these ingredients may be different than what is labeled on the product box, but that the website displays the most current listing. This information would only be available to those having Internet access, however. In their May 2010 review, government investigators tested 40 supplement products and of those 37 contained trace amounts of heavy metals. They are proposing a food safety bill that could give the FDA license to enforce recalls of supplements and mandate that manufacturers use only FDA-approved ingredients. If however, a supplement company is actually a pharmaceutical company, such as the producers of CentrumsŽ, they will most likely be exempt from this product scrutinizing since the government does not consider a pharmaceutical company to be a supplement company. In 2007, the agency

mandated that supplement manufacturers needed to report all adverse effects and use clear labeling and contaminant-free manufacturing facilities. Medical grade supplement companies have their own manufacturing standard, called GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), and are already doing this. This assures the buyer that products are free of contaminants and toxic additives. Consumers need to learn how to find these companies, gain access to them, and not be lead astray by creative marketing departments selling poor-quality products. What is the best protection for the consumer? I highly recommend moving health-promoting products back into a clinical setting. Physicians, such as naturopathic doctors, who are trained to match clinical nutrition products with medical history and lab work, can return a supplement program back to healthcare and away from wasteful spending. Having a trained health professional design and locate the best match for you is essential for reaching short term and long term health goals. Buying products from retail Internet sites or health food stores can be a waste of money and can load your cabinets with bottles displaying fancy labels. Those consumers who are prone to being drawn in

stant challenge to remain a dull caterpillar is greater than the magnificent metamorphosis to become a beautiful butterfly� is the slogan for my writing and speaking business. This is how I felt when I made the transition from owning ALL Communications to becoming a freelance writer. I was so unfulfilled in my role as publicist and promoter that I was willing to go out on a limb to explore other possibilities. I had to live in the mystery for a while with less money and no prestige to discover what else I might have to contribute to the world. The gain was worth the pain!

by a good sales pitch are those I worry about the most. Buying from a company from whom you can both ask for and receive a report of their raw ingredients quality is just one fine detail I insist upon when recommending a product. These are medical-grade products produced from a certified U.S. lab or research company. There are about 600 companies that I like, too many to list here, unfortunately. Yes, it costs more, but in this case you really do get what you pay for. Sadly, the government’s report is true. Many popular over-the-counter supplement products may pose health hazards and regulatory actions may be forthcoming to identify the offenders. However, as long as the federal government sees the pharmaceutical industry as a health-promoting group of ethic individuals, the worst offenders may still continue to be the worst offenders. o Dr. Yerby is a licensed naturopathic doctor located just north of Pittsboro.

is vital for transformation. As we think in terms of transforming ourselves we can consider the life of butterflies and see the similarities with the development of human beings. Transformation is a process that often involves pain and always demands change and usually calls for sacrifices. The drab caterpillar must release her old self before the new form, the stunning butterfly, can be born. Likewise we must let go of the past, make the most of the present, and welcome the future to be prepared for success and to become our best selves. To soar freely as a butterfly, each of us must embrace, accept, and experience transformation. AlexSandra Lett is writing a book “Going Crazy‌Getting Sane.â€?

Also, two longtime Lion members were honored with the special “Lifetime Membership Award,” Clyde Womble accompanied by his wife Betty and Roy Perry. Master of ceremonies Mike Womble introduced Dr. Matt Garrett, retired president of Central Carolina Community College. Dr. Garrett talked mainly for the benefit of the invited guests about what the Lions Club locally and throughout the would is all about. He showed how these honored guests, Clyde and Roy, over years have made a difference in many people’s lives. He asked the invited visitors to seriously consider joining the Lions Club and together help continue making a difference. Members enjoyed a meal provided by the kitchen crew.

Central Carolina Paddlers

The morning activity was a scavenger hunt played on the water, starting at McIver Landing and ending at Camelback Bridge, Deep River Park. Members and guests then enjoyed a meal and fellowship at the park. Everyone brought a dish to share, hamburgers and hot dogs were grilled. Elizabeth Bass was in charge of coordinating the scavenger hunt and picnic. For anyone wishing to make a custom fitted security cable for their boat, Bill Corder had supplies and tools on hand. The club will make a donation to the Deep River Park Association in gratitude for usage of their facilities.

Glenn Edwards “graduate” on June 8th, and instead of caps and gowns, they will be wearing their “Character Counts” Tshirts, donated by Rotary. Their Rotary volunteer mentors should wear their Rotary shirts and be there to applaud their accomplishments. It has been a rewarding project.

At the Sanford Rotary Club’s June 1 meeting Dr. Sadler presented a program titled, “Poetry Salutes Our Military.” was a bright student who attended exceptional classes, but socially, her friends in school were not her friends outside of school and she often endured teasing from her neighborhood friends about her academic success. Her plan was to attend college and she was excelling as a high school student, when she became pregnant. Her life and her timetable for completing a college education changed significantly as a result. However, with the encouragement of Carolyn Spivey and staffers at the Coalition, who assisted with parenting skills (Coalition’s Parents as Teachers program) and challenged her to complete her education, Camilla completed high school, attended CCCC, and then was determined to get an undergraduate degree. Carolyn offered to pay her application fee to college, and she applied and was accepted to UNC-G. With the support of her family and her friends at the Coalition, she worked hard and stuck with it, despite hardships, until she was able to graduate from UNC-G with a degree in speech therapy. She is now working as a summer intern at UNCG, and as soon as she gets full-time employment, she wants to volunteer with children through the Coalition, providing speech services. Her achievements reflect her own personal talent and perseverance and the good work of the Coalition for Families. Jay Childress, just back from a road trip to Wisconsin, won the weekly raffle, and closed our meeting with the 4-Way Test and the Pledge of Allegiance. Congratulations to the big raffle winners: Vern VanBruggen’s wife, Brad Bourret, and Bud Palmer’s pal.

Rotary Club of Sanford The Rotary Club of Sanford met on June 1 with President James Mitchell presiding. The Rotary prayer was led by Jeff Hockaday. Tom Spence led the singing of “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” noting that it was written by Julia Ward Howe during the Civil War. Howe published five books of poetry and was the first woman elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Mitchell announced that the club would have its charter night banquet at Carolina Trace Country Club next Tuesday at 6 p.m. There will be no noon meeting that day. Tony Lett continued his report from last week about the early history of the Sanford Club, which was founded in 1925 and sponsored by the Dunn Club. The Rotary Club of Raleigh was founded ten years earlier. Only two men in Sanford had previous Rotary experience at that time, E.C. Hines, and the Rev. Gilmore, pastor of First Presbyterian Church. Hines became a charter member. Bragging for bucks elicited a variety of responses. Sam Sillaman boasted that he had spread 65 bales of pine straw. Tom Dossenbach, returning from a business trip to Indonesia, was happy that the factories were up and running. He was also proud that N.C. State almost won ACC baseball championship. Lynn Sadler bragged on Duke for winning the lacrosse championship. She was also relieved that a large tree fell in their yard, only brushing the side of their house. Sam Sillaman won $13 in the 50/50 Polio Eradication raffle. Joy Gilmour introduced the program for

Sadler is an editor and a poet, fiction and nonfiction writer, and playwright. Her publications include five books and 68 articles, a novel, and a short story collection. She won the 2008 Pearson Award at Wayne State for a play on the Iraq wars. She has traveled around the world five times. Lynn shared a number of her poems with the club, all reflecting the experience of Americans in various wars. “Kilroy... Killjoy” chronicled the presence of the fabled “Kilroy” in place names associated with the Second World War and more recent wars. Kilroy was also in the deathfall of the Twin Towers, but as the towers were dying, there was only “killjoy.” Another poem relates the surrender of Lee to Grant, as told by Ely Parker on his deathbed to his daughter. Winning a first place award in 2006 was a poem in which Mrs. Jeremiah Nash tells of the death of her husband at the Battle of New Orleans. The last lines graphically describe Nash’s body lying on a cotton bale and turning the burlap and the cotton red from his blood. The Navajos were featured in a poem, which describes their code breaking role in the Second World War. In a

surprise ending the Navajo boasts that his people cracked and exploded the code that regarded Indians and Blacks as cannon fodder and slackers. The main code they cracked was STEREOTYPES. “For the Worst of Times” quotes a Civil War poet, Walt Whitman, “There is no week nor day nor hour, when tyranny may not enter upon this country, if the people lose their roughness and spirit of defiance.” Sadler concludes in the spirit of the earlier poet, “Tyranny may always enter — there is no charm, no bar against it — the only bar against it is the large resolute breed of Americans.” Lynn was asked when she first began writing poetry. She stated that it was after a voyage around the world. She explained that she is also a researcher, and once she has completed this task, the words flow very quickly. Some of her poems are short, but others are epic poems, like the one about barbecue and southern cooking, and one about aviation. Sadler was warmly applauded for her program and reminded by Mitchell that a bi-lingual children’s book would be donated to the Lee County Library in honor of her presentation to the club. To close the meeting Ted Lanier led the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, and Phil Richmond led the four-Way Test.

ON THE RECORD

How do most bands make their money? By BRADFORD BRADY and JOHN MARON Q: How do most bands work when it comes to financials? I assume the songwriter would get royalties for writing the songs but how do bands Broadway Elementary students who have earned straight A’s for three consecutive decide who gets paid quarters this school year and those who have consistently done this since the fifth what and what hapgrade were honored on May 23 at Lee County High School. Guest speaker was Alexpens years later when Sandra Lett, local author and speaker. Students in the (back row) Megan Kane, Camthe bands break up or a eron Kelly, Luke Thomas, Katie Kelly, (front) Jessica Nguyen, Mitzy Salmeron, Tessa Lett member leaves or dies? and Morgan Hunter. These 8 students represented Broadway Elementary School on Sunday Afternoon. Vickie Wilkins, president of the local NCAE directed the students.

A: When it comes to financials, the music business can be very confusing, intimidating and, at times, unfair. Revenue generated by musicians can be broken down into two categories: songwriting/publishing revenue and band revenue. The songwriter/publishing income comes from a variety of sources which include CD sales, digital downloads, radio airplay and recordings of the song by other artists. Band income comes from live performances and any use of the master copy of a recorded song such as ringtones and movie soundtracks. In some cases, such as the sale of ringtones, both the band and the songwriter are paid. The split of songwriter/ publishing revenue is basically determined by the songwriter. Each song can have a different percentage split. For example, two songwriters can divide the income in half or they can split it 75/25 if one person made a more significant contribution to the song. Songwriters can give songwriting credit to other members of the band even if they made no contribution to the song. Most bands do this to preserve band unity. R.E.M. and Coldplay are two prime examples of crediting all band members as songwriters. The key point here is that songwriters are in control and they decide who gets paid and how much they get paid. Band, or non-songwriting, revenue is usually split equally among the band members but this too is not a firm rule. If one band member is new and the others are founding members, the new guy may get a smaller cut. In one famous example, Ron Wood joined the Rolling Stones in the mid-‘70s but was not made a fully-fledged partner until 1990. As was mentioned in a previous

column, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding, twothirds of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, were cut out of royalty rights during the ‘70s. When a band member dies or leaves the band, the songwriting and publishing revenue often passes to their heirs. For example, John Lennon’s share of the Lennon/ McCartney songs written when he was in the Beatles now go to Yoko Ono. Paul McCartney’s share did not change when Lennon died. In the case of non-songwriting revenue, the remaining members of the band must negotiate a new distribution of income. Q: My two daughters have been playing the Wii video game, Mario Kart, a lot recently. So much so that I am really getting sick of the music! However, that got me wondering — who wrote that music? A: According to various online sources, the game’s soundtrack was written by Asuka Ohta (sometimes spelled Ota) and Ryo Nagamatsu. According to Wikipedia, Ohta has been working for Nintendo as a video game composer since 2004. She has been an assistant to Nintendo’s music director, Kozumi Totaka. We were not able to find much about Nagmatsu other than he likewise is a composer for Nintendo. What’s the name of that song? Where are they now? What does that lyric mean?
