SANFORD — A handful of downtown Sanford residents and businesses might have had a smoky but harmless surprise in their offices Tuesday.

City contract workers began flooding downtown sewer lines with smoke to test the mettle of area utility tunnels and are expected to wrap up work today.

Sewer systems are designed to run with minimal rainwater inflow, but oftentimes struggle to keep out all of the excess water in major weather events.

In cases of unnecessary inflow, sewer systems are forced to treat water they might not

As a result, some structures with poor plumbing or line breaks may experience some smokiness inside.

SANFORD — Sanford Mayor Pro Tem Mike Stone predicted Tuesday that the City Council will squash his calls to reduce the city’s property tax rate by 1 cent today.

Council members will meet in a special called session to discuss the budget at 1 p.m. today, one week after the panel tabled Stone’s request for cuts to the 54-cent property tax rate as part of a proposed $40.5 million spending plan for the coming 2010-2011 fiscal year.

Stone, who is currently running for a seat in the N.C. House of Representatives, has argued Sanford’s $10 millionplus fund balance, or savings account, is evidence that city residents have been overtaxed.

He also complained the budget has maintained city spending even as locals have watched their pocketbooks wither in the economic recession.

GOOD MORNING Pet of the Week Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption

Maudie A resident of CARA’s cattery for almost a year, Maudie kicks off “Adopt a Shelter Cat” month at CARA. For the month of June CARA is reducing the cat adoption fee to $25 for all “adult” cats (those one year and older).

Maudie is one of the most sophisticated felines CARA has had in a while. Her quiet, gentle manner makes her very easy to have around. Maudie is affectionate, but not demanding. Her beautiful torti-coat is the perfect accessory to any home.

At 3 years, 10 months old, she is purr-fectly litter box trained and likes her space clean and tidy (and helps keep it that way). Maudie gets along with most other kitties.

An adult cat’s personality is so much more established than a young kitten’s; please consider giving one of our ‘mature’ kitties a furr-ever home. Maudie is current on vaccines and preventatives, FeLV and FIV negative, micro chipped and spayed. See CARA’s Web site (cara-nc.org) for more info or to apply to adopt.

Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption, Inc. located at 42 Deep River Rd., Sanford is a 501(c) non-profit, volunteer organization that operates on individual and corporate donations and fund raising proceeds.

Birthdays LOCAL: Best wishes are extended to everyone celebrating a birthday today, especially Jay Thwaite, Mookie Roseboro, Shirley Calendine, Anthony Matthews Jr., Kelli Parrish, Troy Hall, Lillie Upchurch, Darren Esparza, Carson Goins, Donnie Martindale, Carlton Connor, Johnny Lucas, Cardaro Thomas, Sue Smith Copeland, Takiya Bell, Hazel Foushee, Adrianna Layton, Atiya Brewer and Larry Thompson.

CELEBRITIES: Sports commentator Dick Vitale is 71. Mystery author Patricia Cornwell is 54. Actor Michael J. Fox is 49.

Writer-producer Aaron Sorkin is 49. Actor Johnny Depp is 47. Rock musician Dean Felber (Hootie & the Blowfish) is 43. Rock musician Dean Dinning is 43. Actress Michaela Conlin (TV: “Bones”) is 32. Actress Natalie Portman is 29. Actress Mae Whitman is 22.

Almanac Today is Wednesday, June 9, the 160th day of 2010. There are 205 days left in the year.

This day in history: On June 9, 1954, during the Senate-Army Hearings, Army special counsel Joseph N. Welch berated Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy for his attack on Frederick Fisher, a junior attorney at Welch’s law firm, asking: “Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”

In A.D. 68, the Roman Emperor Nero committed suicide.

BEGINNING AT HOME

AROUND OUR AREA LEE COUNTY

Early voting numbers higher than expected

SANFORD — Early voting in the Democratic primary runoff is off to a faster start this year than expected, according to Lee County Board of Elections Director Nancy Kimble.

As of 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, 107 locals had cast ballots in the second round of voting between Democratic combatants Elaine Marshall and Cal Cunningham.

Early voting began Thursday for the runoff election. Kimble said she was expecting a slower turnout considering it was a primary runoff without a big-ticket presidential election up for grabs.

“I just hope it keeps up like this on a daily basis,” she said.

Early voting in the primary will wrap up Saturday, June 19.

All early voting in the runoff will be done at the Lee County Board of Elections office at 225 S. Steele St. in downtown Sanford.

Polls are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 8 p.m. to 1 p.m. on June 19.

Voters can cast ballots from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on primary Election Day Tuesday, June 22.

The winner of the Marshall-Cunningham primary will face off in November against Republican incumbent Richard Burr.

Marshall finished the first primary with the most votes, or about 36 percent statewide, but did not gain a majority of the votes in the crowded field.

Cunningham finished second with 27 percent of the total vote.

Voting in the second runoff is expected to be close, and the campaign has heated up in Lee County in recent days as Cunningham stopped in to talk with voters Friday at the Fairview Dairy Bar in Sanford.

Only Democratic and unaffiliated voters who were eligible to vote in the May 4 primary can vote in the runoff. Unaffiliated voters who cast ballots in the Republican primary in May cannot vote in the runoff.

For more information, contact the Board of Elections at (919) 718-4646.

County invites public input on courthouse functions PITTSBORO — Chatham County is inviting residents interested in the rebuilding of the county courthouse to share their ideas at a community forum slated for at 6:30 p.m. on June 29, at Northwood High School’s cafeteria in Pittsboro.

The county is calling the forum “an opportunity for residents to provide ideas on possible functions and uses for the courthouse as the building is rebuilt.”

The forum will be in a “workshop style” format with ample time for dialogue and exchange of ideas.

Public input will be forwarded to a newly-formed county task force charged with studying and making recommendations to the Board of Commissioners about the potential use of the Historic Courthouse.

The task force meets for the first time from 6 to 9 p.m.

Monday at Northwood High School’s media center.

FORT BRAGG

Bazooka round found in car entering base FORT BRAGG — A vehicle thought to be carrying a World War II-era bazooka round closed a checkpoint at a North Carolina Army base.

Fort Bragg officials said guards at a gate on the south side of the post found a “bazooka type round” in a car Tuesday around 10 a.m.

An explosive disposal team was called in and disposed of the round. It is not clear why the driver had the round, officials said.

“None of the rounds were live ammunition,” said Maj. Kristian Sorensen, a spokesman at Fort Bragg.

“At this point, we do not believe terrorism is involved.”

The bazooka, an anti-tank weapon, was also used by infantry troops to destroy armored vehicles and bunkers. It was phased out of the Army’s arsenal during the Vietnam War. The term bazooka has since become the informal name for most shoulder-fired rocket launchers.

The driver is identified as a contractor on the base. He was questioned

by Fort Bragg police and then turned over to the FBI. Sorensen said the contractor is being very cooperative with FBI investigators. He did not have any information about charges and said the FBI was just starting its own investigation.

HARNETT COUNTY

Social media can Construction help nonprofits of new hospital

is delayed

I

t’s no secret that the way we do business is changing.

You can see it easily in manufacturing plants, where new technology and global competition have slashed the number of workers and forced everyone to handle a wider variety of jobs. Add our struggling economy to the mix and you have a very different workplace than existed just a few years ago.

So it shouldn’t be surprising that the same trends are transforming nonprofits, where new management approaches, the number of groups competing for contributions and the economy also have changed the way people work.

That can be a shock for many nonprofit executives in a sector where established organizations have been able to do “business as usual” for decades. But remaining vital now requires more than simply operating with integrity and being there when people need help. It requires a different outlook and some public relations savvy.

A lot has been written of late about how nonprofit leaders can keep their organizations vibrant, and many of them suggest the same themes.

Maintain a positive, upbeat attitude. Perhaps this goes without saying, but it’s not always easy when you’re dealing with people facing difficult situations. Throw in growing demands ... rising costs ... fewer contributions ... and it can be hard to remain optimistic.

But the leader’s outlook has a profound affect on any organization. The leader sets the tone, the tone determines how staff and volunteers feel about their work, and how people feel about their work has a direct impact on clients — not to mention whether other volunteers or donors want to join your cause.

Never lose focus on the good things taking place.

You’re helping people cope with real problems when they’ve run out of options, and others have found the work important enough that they’re volunteering to help. Make sure you thank people and remind them of the important work they’re doing.

Tell your story. One way to keep an upbeat attitude and create goodwill in the community is to tell your story in a clear and compelling way.

Though many executives expect reporters to do the job for them, the reality is that the media never really worked that way.

Routine stories have often

Jan Hayes Beginning at Home Hayes is executive director of Lee County United Way

started as news releases from some organization, and it’s even more common now that media outlets have downsized, too.

That means if you want your story told, you need to do the telling.

With so many community-minded newspapers, radio stations and local television shows in our area, there are a lot of opportunities to tell your story. And don’t forget many of the smaller, more-targeted publications, including “Neighbors,” the United Way’s quarterly newsletter, which highlights the work of local ministries and nonprofits.

Take advantage of Facebook, Twitter and other social media. Getting your story out has become easier and cheaper with social media. A huge number of people already use Facebook. Twitter, limited to much shorter messages, doesn’t have quite the reach, but gets information to followers even faster and can send messages automatically to your Facebook page.

Social media can help build donor relationships, recruit volunteers and disseminate important news. They’re free and effective, as long as you provide useful information, post consistently (but not constantly) and keep everything upbeat and up to date.

These suggestions provide a start and there are a few more for a later column. None of them may be new, but they’re things we often forget, even though they’re critically important.

LILLINGTON (MCT) — Construction of a new hospital for Harnett County has been delayed — again — with no new timeline for building work to begin.

A groundbreaking on the 50-bed hospital was planned for May, but Ken Bryan, president of Harnett Health System, said finding the money is taking longer than expected.

It’s a familiar refrain. A groundbreaking scheduled for October last year was canceled and the recession blamed. But in December, Harnett Health leaders unveiled the design of the proposed facility, and in March, the project was boosted with the award of a $25 million low-interest USDA loan.

That, however, was only a quarter of the total amount needed — $65 million for the new hospital and $35 million to refinance debt from the expansion of Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital in Dunn, also owned by Harnett Health. The system planned to secure the rest of the financing through tax-exempt bonds, which required the approval of the N.C. Medical Care Commission.

Tim McNeill, chairman of the county Board of Commissioners that donated the land for the hospital, said the commission withheld its approval pending some tweaks to the plans.

“The commission didn’t turn them down, but they didn’t give approval,” McNeill said.

Christopher Taylor, the commission’s assistant secretary, couldn’t be reached Friday to discuss the commission’s recommendations. McNeill said he expects more news on the financing within three months.

The delay will likely shove back the projected December 2011 opening date. It’s the latest setback

in a decade-long fight for a new hospital in the county.

Good Hope Hospital in Erwin had permission to build a new facility in 2001, but couldn’t get financing. When it found a for-profit partner, opposition sprung up and a lengthy court battle ended in Harnett Health System getting final permission to build in October 2008.

Since then, funding has remained the holdup.

Harnett County leaders envision the hospital as the crown jewel in a 128-acre science and technology business park that they hope will spawn retail, restaurant and hotel development.

But the hopes have a sell-by date: The county has more than $2 million in state and federal grants to extend water, sewer and roads to the hospital that are tied to the creation of jobs at the hospital by deadlines beginning in June 2012.

“There’s a lot of good things hinging on that hospital starting construction in Harnett County,” McNeill said.

“That hospital could lead us out of recession.”

‘Going green’ can be good for big business Our View Issue: ‘Going Green’

Our stance: Even though it started small, big business has seen opportunity in the green movement recently

T

here are those who’ll tell you we’re wasting our time with all the talk about “going green.”

What’s a few energy-saving light bulbs going to do in the grand scheme of things? What does it matter if we recycle when millions of tons of waste goes unrecycled in our country each year?

“Going green” works when the majority of the populace changes its wasteful ways. But businesses are finding another benefit to adding the “green” label ... it could mean more “green” in their registers.

Sustainable Sandhills Ex-

ecutive Director Jon Parsons spoke before about 40 local business leaders at Monday’s monthly Public Policy Luncheon, hosted by the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce.

Parsons noted the savings businesses experience when they start thinking green — their electric bills start to fall, most notably. But more and more, businesses are finding that “going green” attracts customers as well.

Think about it. The trend picked up steam in the mid2000s among the country’s big businesses like Walmart, Coca-Cola and even BP (before

its recent “un-green” disaster).

These companies were touting the fact they were helping the environment not because they felt like it was beneficial to “brag” in their advertisements, but because they knew customers would support their efforts by supporting their products. “(Green consumers) want to make a difference and get the sense that the brand or product (they buy) is making a difference as well,” Parsons said. “People value local businesses doing good in their community.”

In other words, the “green”

philosophy doesn’t just work for the big boys.

In Tuesday’s Herald, we had tips on how your business can go green. We’ve also posted these tips, provided by Sustainable Sandhills, at sanfordherald.com.

We don’t know of anybody who’s “anti-green.” Sure, there are doubters who say it’s a drop in the bucket, but there’s no solid reason not to go green.

To argue against it would be to argue against saving money ... to argue against building customer loyalty.

Graduation season

I

t’s difficult to believe that the high school graduation season has arrived. It’s such an exciting time.

How well I remember my own graduation from ol’ Deep River High School. The speaker was Wesley Wallace, who was to become one of my Radio-TV-Motion Picture professors at UNC-Chapel Hill.

I recall the sense of relief of having gotten my high school education — and the sense of excitement of going to the university of which I had so much looked forward.

There also was a sense of sadness, as I thought of the friends that I would be leaving behind as each of our worlds were to move in different directions.

I continue to cherish the memories of my high school days — and it’s always good when I see my former high school classmates.

To each of you graduating high school this year, my best wishes to each of you.

As long-time radio personality Casey Kasem would say, “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.”

Awards time It’s also the time when high school students are reaching their annual awards and honors.

One local recipient was Julie Huggins, who won the Edna Earle Yarborough Social Studies Award at Lee County High School. The award is given to the person with the highest class average in social studies classes.

Huggins is not the first member of her family to have received the away.

Her father, Bill, was the first student to receive the award in 1975.

As Bill writes, “So, for a time, my name will be the first engraved on the permanent award and Julie’s will be the last.”

Congratulations to Julie ... and all area students who have won school awards for the year.

Church damage I’ve gotten to the point that I’m not too shocked by what occurs in the news these days.

I must confess, however, that I was somewhat stunned when I saw a news report this week of a Chatham County church, Lighthouse Baptist Church near Chapel Hill, that was ransacked by vandals.

Much of the inside of the church reportedly was destroyed.

Capt. Charles Gardner of the Chatham County Sheriff’s Department was quoted in a Raleigh newspaper website as saying, “With all of this Satanist stuff on the walls, it was hate directed toward God. ... It’s a shame to go through the house of God and cause that much damage.”

I cannot imagine the kind of hate that would cause someone to do this.

I hope and pray that I shall never know or hold that kind of hate toward anyone or anything.

A risky fiscal gamble N

orth Carolina has more government than North Carolina taxpayers can or wish to finance.

That’s the fundamental cause of the state’s continuing budget woes — not the mortgage crisis, or misbehavior on Wall Street, or the misdeeds of George W. Bush or Barack Obama. The economic downturn of 2008-09 may have triggered the state’s fiscal deficits. But the structural problem predated the recession.

State and local government in North Carolina has grown rapidly during boom times. In the two decades leading up to the 2009-10 budget crisis, for example, state spending alone grew by 41 percent after adjusting for inflation and population growth.

During economic busts, spending growth has slackened or even ceased for a time, but has never been significantly rolled back.

Instead, governors and legislators have raised taxes to finance their past spending increases.

As a result, the size and scope of North Carolina government has ratcheted ever upward.

Furthermore, contrary to the letter and intent of the state constitution, North Carolina policymakers have borrowed money without a public referendum to pay for budget items previously funded by current state revenue or general-obligation bonds. Their tactics have included certificates of participation (COPs), revenue bonds, tax-increment financing, and tapping the federal government’s borrowing capacity through various stimulus and bailout funds.

Both the Senate and House versions of the 2010-11 state budget would continue these practices. They would rely on some $3 billion in unwise and unsustainable fiscal policies, including federal bailouts and last year’s “temporary” tax increases. Legislative leaders may try to spin this budget as fiscally conservative, which does damage not just to North Carolina’s fiscal posture but also to the English language.

There is nothing fiscally conservative about shoving a ramshackle budget through the General Assembly that assumes $3 billion worth of new taxes or federal borrowing in 2011 to finance the level of spending set in 2010. There is nothing fiscally conservative about compounding such a mistake with $450 million in new COPs debt, as the Senate is in the process of approving.

And there is nothing fiscally conservative about doing all this while ignoring North Carolina’s other fiscal time bombs, such as both short-term and long-term holes in the state’s health plan for current and retired teachers and state employees that will require the infusion of billions of additional tax dollars.

Yes, you read that right. The state’s unfunded liability for retiree health benefits is nearly $30 billion.

John Hood Columnist John Hood is president of the John Locke Foundation

I know, I know — the official line is that 2010 isn’t the year to start addressing these problems. We’re in an election year and still slogging through the end of a deep recession. Wait until next year, we’re told.

Only, we’ve been told that before. Repeatedly. The fabled “next year” for forging a sensible long-term fiscal plan for the state inevitably turns into a “this year” of shortterm thinking and political gamesmanship.

Rather than simply playing their usual roles in this drama, legislative leaders should have tried something new. Instead of passing a $20 billion+ budget with a guaranteed $3 billion hole in 2011, they should have pulled actual spending down below $19 billion, reducing next year’s deficit and giving themselves more room to maneuver.

Then, during the 2011 session, they should have set a goal of reducing state spending further, if necessary, to a level equal to the revenues projected from the tax rates in place before the 2009 tax hikes.

Going into 2009, most North Carolinians thought their tax burden was high enough already. They were right. Instead, Raleigh raised sales and income taxes while Washington borrowed hundreds of millions of additional dollars to finance North Carolina’s budget — money that North Carolinians will have to pay back eventually with higher federal taxes.

Instead of pursuing true fiscal conservatism, the Democratic majority in the General Assembly has chosen to stick with their original fiscal mistakes. Rely on more taxes and more borrowing. Keep increasing total state spending. Ignore the state’s many unfunded liabilities.

And hope North Carolina taxpayers either don’t notice or don’t care.

Sounds like a risky gamble to me.

Today’s Prayer But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain. (1 Cor. 15:10) PRAYER: Father, we thank You for Your grace which is all sufficient. Thank You for your many blessings that You have given us.

Amen.

We would like to take this opportunity to respectfully ask that County Commissioner Linda Shook reconsider her position on continuing to provide HAVEN of Lee County with $10,000 in county funds. Shook stated last week that HAVEN should not receive the money from the county if we provide services to undocumented immigrants.

We could not disagree more.

A victim is a victim, regardless of their immigration status or any other factor. As such, the rights to a safe environment and supportive guidance through the criminal justice system are essential to the well-being of domestic or sexual abuse victims (indeed, seeking the services of an agency like HAVEN can be a matter of life and death for some victims). When lives are at stake, documentation should be an afterthought.

If we followed Shook’s logic, the sheriff’s office would stop receiving county funds because an illegal immigrant has the same right to report crimes and receive services as anyone else. Likewise, county fire departments would have to check the legal status of those living in burning structures before starting their important work.

Lee County shouldn’t be the type of place where this happens. Further, HAVEN is barred under requirements surrounding the state money we receive from asking a victim’s immigration status before we provide a service.

If the board supports Shook’s position, batterers who are illegal immigrants will not be held accountable for their actions.

We believe that all perpetrators of domestic violence should be brought to justice, and discouraging a certain segment of victims from coming forward would be antithetical to achieving this result.

Fortunately, the Lee County Board of Commissioners has been gracious and helpful to us over the years. We would like to thank them and the taxpayers of Lee County for their continued generosity, and close by asking again that Commissioner Shook reconsider her position.

Doing so would show that we live in a county that collectively — and unanimously — understands and cares about the problems domestic and sexual violence pose to the entire community.

Budget Continued from Page 1A

to stand up and say ‘no,’� Stone said. “Our citizens stood up a long time ago and said ‘no.’ You look at everybody.

Who is living the same lifestyle that they had two years ago?�

Stone’s demands come as city officials hammer out a budget ordinance that will likely come with up to $75,000 in spending for ailing local nonprofits.

The $75,000 comes from a pool of excess ABC Board funds.

Stone blasted council members’ priorities in an interview Tuesday. “They will not support (a tax decrease) because it gives something back to the citizens and not just the nonprofits alone,� he said. “I’m trying to get something for everybody, not just the nonprofits. No one is hurting more than the citizens.�

Councilman Sam Gaskins, an outspoken critic of what he describes as “padded� government spending throughout budget talks, said there’s much more work to be done if Stone wants to see taxes go down. “It’s easy to say you want to lower them,�

Gaskins said. “But I want to see the numbers.�

Gaskins has pointed to hefty increases in areas like printing, training and departmental supplies as evidence that city officials are overbudgeting. “There appears to be some room for a reduction in taxes,� Gaskins said, although he added that city leaders might opt to spend on past

debt in order to free up more cash in the coming years.

If that happens, a tax decrease might not be possible, Gaskins said.

City leaders say they need to be prepared if looming local budget cuts materialize from lawmakers in the N.C. General Assembly in the coming years.

Councilman Charles Taylor applauded Stone’s motion to reduce taxes last week, but it gained a decidedly more tepid reaction from their counterparts on the council.

Councilman James Williams said he cannot back a tax decrease as long as questions remain about state funding.

Williams said council members who complain about “padded� numbers in the budget are assessing it like a factory manager would, not as a government official should. “Let’s just say if a tower happens to fall, the public works people have to have enough money in that budget to handle an emergency like that,� he said. “They can’t wait to come back to us for a budget amendment that could take a month to get done. They have to act immediately in an emergency.�

Meanwhile, officials are still deciding if they should free up city money for nonprofits, and if so, how should it be distributed?

In the past, the city has contributed funds to tourism draws like the Temple Theatre and the Railroad Association, as well as the Lee County Arts Council.

But leaders are also talking of including

money this year to help ease continuing cashflow trouble for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sanford/Lee County.

Gaskins said he will back putting the money toward nonprofits, but only if the City Council adopts a policy for future distribution and considers allowing the United Way of Lee County to decide how the money is dispersed.

Gaskins said the United Way has workers trained to assess the criteria for the most deserving area nonprofits. “I think we ought to take the politics out of it,� Gaskins said.

Williams said the United Way should get involved if the council considers spending on additional nonprofits other than the Temple, Railroad House, Arts Council and Boys and Girls Clubs.

He said spending should be limited to groups that only bring a “direct benefit� to the city, adding that the Temple attracts droves of tourists for downtown shows that energize the local economy.

Lee County officials are pondering the same dilemma as it relates to local nonprofit funding, with Board of Commissioners-elect Jim Womack calling on county leaders this week to embrace a similar strategy of using the United Way as an intermediary dispersing the money.

City Council members are expected to hold public hearings at its 1 p.m. meeting today for loans and construction grants on expanding Sanford’s Big Buffalo sewer plant.

Officials say they will discuss the budget in an open committee session immediately following the hearings.

The City Council could pass the spending plan at its regularly scheduled meeting next week, set for 7 p.m.

Tuesday.

A final budget must be approved before the new fiscal year starts July 1.

CENTRAL CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE

College chosen to lead state’s Code Green project

By KATHERINE McDONALD Special to The Herald

SANFORD — Central Carolina Community College has been selected by the North Carolina Community College System as the Energy Sector lead college for the system’s Code Green Super Curriculum Improvement Project.

The 2010-2012 Code Green Super CIP will develop uniform improvements in curriculum and continuing education green programs in six sectors: energy, transportation, engineering technology, environment, and building.

The improvements will be used at North Carolina’s 58 community colleges with the goal of providing outstanding education for workers for the growing green economy. “Central Carolina Community College has been a leader in green education for a long time,� said Dr. Bud Marchant, college president. “We look forward to the exciting challenge of leading the Energy Sector CIP team in envisioning

week when Matt Burnett resigned. David Miller, a graduate of Lee County and a former minor league baseball player, will take over at Southern Lee after nine seasons as the head coach at Chapel Hill High School.

Puryear, who told The Herald he stepped away from the program on May 18, did not have his contract renewed by the board on Tuesday, said Lee County Schools Superintendent Jeff Moss. That created the opening filled

by Paris. “I am fortunate to have the opportunity to serve Lee County and the student-athletes at Lee County,� Paris said in a statement released by LCS. “I am honored to have

and creating even better green energy education for the future of North Carolina.�

Central Carolina was selected as the lead college for the Energy Sector because of its track record in innovation, leadership and partnerships to promote environmentally- and consumer-friendly education, according to Andrew McMahan, CCCC’s biofuels program coordinator and the Energy Sector project manager.

Among its achievements, Central Carolina was the first North Carolina community college to develop associate in applied science degree programs in sustainable agriculture and biofuels. In the fall, it will offer another new program: an AAS in sustainability technologies.

The college is also focusing on green construction, with the energy-efficient LEED-certified Sustainable Technologies Center, joint Chatham County-CCCC library, and new Siler City Center scheduled to open in the fall in Chatham County.

CCCC’s Energy Sector faculty team consists of Laura Lauffer, sustainability coordinator; John Delafield, sustainable technologies coordinator; Bob Armantrout, biofuels instructor; and Robert Arble, weatherization instructor. They will work with a team of representatives from other community colleges to develop changes in energy education based on the college’s Energy Sector Project Design and Implementation Plan.

The plan is designed to streamline the structure of green programs at community colleges, reducing the number of curriculum titles and overlapping continuing education courses to allow for seamless transition between programs. It will promote the development of green subject modules that can be incorporated into courses, as appropriate. The plan also calls for identifying current and emerging skills in sustainable energy industries and increasing student skill assessments that lead to industry-recognized credentials.

the confidence of (Principal Bonnie) Almond and the Lee County Schools’ administration. We will implement and execute a football program that instills and builds leadership, accountability, teamwork and the character traits necessary for success in college and beyond.�

Miller led Chapel Hill to three Piedmont Athletic Conference championships and has led the team into the state playoffs in seven of his nine seasons.

He was named the league’s coach of the year three times. Miller spent three years at North Carolina before playing his final year at UNC-Wilmington.

In 1995, Miller was drafted in the 14th round by the Florida Marlins and played minor league baseball for three years. “I am excited to be coming home to Lee County,� Miller said in a statement released by LCS. “I am looking forward to coaching in a basebal town and a community that values the role of high school athletics in the lives of our

student-athletes. I appreciate the administration having the confidence in me both as a teacher and coach to make a positive contribution at Southern Lee.�

In addition to coaching at the high school level, Miller was an assistant at Appalachian State.

program that has provided high school students with laptops by allowing all students to use technology as a learning tool. “I think that technology is so much a part of the world of all of our students today that parents will embrace this and realize from their own jobs how much technology is used in the world and the need for their children to have good technological skills,� Douglas said.

Jordan-Matthews High School received new laptops for the 2009-2010 school year thanks to a Golden LEAF Foundation grant, so under the proposed plan, those students would not receive new laptops. But McCullough said while the other high schools have laptops for every student, the laptops are several years old.

Elementary and middle school students also have access to laptops, but in classroom carts. If passed, the proposed plan would allow the students at those grade levels to receive their own iPads that they could take home. “At their developmental level, we think the iPad will work well for them,�

McCullough said. “There are many applications that are being created specifically for education that Apple would help us acquire so we could target what students need.�

McCullough said high school students will continue using laptops since that is likely what they will be required to use in college. The plan also involves upgrading some staff computers and

further staff development to help teachers adapt to new technology in the classroom.

Chatham County Schools isn’t the only school system with an eye on technology. Lee County Schools has a 1:1 laptop program in place, but Sharon Spence, public information officer for Lee County Schools, said the school system currently does not have plans to introduce the iPad. “For our current initiative, the laptop provides the features that are needed to support instruction in the classroom,� Spence said. “But as we expand technology as a learning tool for our students, we will continue to evaluate all available technologies, including future versions of the iPad.�

The Chatham County Board of Education will present its plan to the Board of Commissioners on June 21. The plan would go into effect for the 2011-2012 budget cycle, and the Board of Commissioners would be one of many resources for funding.

If the Board of Commissioners doesn’t approve the plan, the Board of Education has discussed two other options.

One involves replacing the laptops at Chatham Central High School, Northwood High School and SAGE Academy only, and the other involves replacing the laptops at those schools and providing middle school students with iPads. “If we are not able to move to a complete digital learning environment right now, we have those other two options to fall back on and we can phase it in,� McCullough said.

STATE BRIEFS

Democrats complain about petition

By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — A fight between the state Democratic Party and a union over a swing congressional district got tougher Tuesday as party officials accused a group trying to qualify an independent candidate of misleading voters into signing petitions before a key deadline.

Party leaders contend voters in the 8th Congressional District that paid representatives of the group North Carolina First aren’t explaining when they go door-todoor that they’re trying to put another candidate on the ballot to challenge Democrat incumbent Larry Kissell.

Instead, they’ve been saying the petition is for “better jobs,� according to Andrew Whalen, the party’s executive director, citing media reports and phone calls from Demo-

crats in the district who have received knocks on their doors.

Whalen said the party would e-mail Democrats advising them that they can call county election offices and ask that their signatures be removed. “We are trying to make sure that people are being honest with the registered voters of the 8th District,� Whalen said in an interview.

North Carolina First is being funded by the Service Employees International Union and its local, the State Employees Association of North Carolina. It must turn in petitions to county election board offices in the 8th District by Thursday in order to so the signatures could be verified.

The group needs nearly 17,000 verified signatures from registered voters so Wendell Fant, who used to work in Kissell’s office, can run.

North Carolina First Chairman Chuck Stone said in an interview there’s “been no distortion in informing people of why we’re trying to create a third party and put another candidate on the ballot.� He called it typical of the two major parties to try to discredit those who would try to give voters more options.

The group is unhappy with Kissell’s voting record, particularly his opposition to the Democatic-penned health care legislation approved by Congress and signed by President Obama. Kissell defeated GOP incumbent Robin Hayes in 2008. “Apparently Larry Kissell and the Democratic Party will do or say anything to keep voters from having another choice in the district,� North Carolina First spokesman Greg Rideout added.

North Carolina First was unsuccessful in ob-

taining the 85,000 signatures it needed to become an official new political party in North Carolina this year so it could field candidates in at least two other congressional races. The group decided instead to focus on collecting signatures to help Fant become a candidate in the 8th District against Kissell; a Republican challenger yet to be decided; and Libertarian Thomas Hill.

Democrats were worried about a third party’s ability to cut into votes for incumbents, which could lead to Republicans winning seats.

The union groups have “failed in their effort to create a new party and are now continuing to waste their member’s hard-earned dues in this foolhardy and shortsighted attempt to place a candidate on the November ballot,� Whalen said in a news release.

RALEIGH

Panel urges markers for minorities at Capitol RALEIGH (AP) — A panel has recommended lifting a 25-year moratorium on new statues and monuments at the state Capitol in favor of marking the contributions of American Indians, women and blacks, a state agency said Tuesday.

A report by the Capitol Memorial Study Committee recommended plaques inside the 170-year-old Capitol Building and statues on the grounds outside, state

Department of Cultural Resources said. “The committee concurs with the widespread observation that the memorials in the Capitol and on its grounds do not sufficiently represent the diversity of North Carolina’s population,� the report said.

The committee did not recommend removing any memorials. Existing monuments include those honoring Confederate soldiers killed in the Civil War,

white supremacy activist Gov. Charles Aycock, and President Andrew Jackson, who oversaw the forced removal of Cherokee Indians from their homelands in the 1830s, resulting in thousands of deaths.

The dozens of statues, busts and plaques inside and outside the antebellum Capitol also salute the state’s three signers of the Declaration of Independence, former governors, and women behind a 1774

THE IDEAL PET VACATION

tea party in Edenton.

Only the Vietnam veterans memorial includes a Lumbee Indian and a black soldier among the three troops portrayed.

The study committee recommended that first priority go to new plaques inside the Capitol marking the constitutional amendments that abolished slavery, extended citizenship and voting rights to the freed slaves and gave women voting rights. The panel recommends using taxpayer money for the plaques.

Tests negative for envelope found at Capitol RALEIGH (AP) — More state lab tests show the white powder found in an envelope opened in North Carolina’s old Capitol building this week isn’t hazardous.

The Department of Crime Control and Public Safety confirmed on Tuesday additional tests performed on the powdery substance showed no signs of things like anthrax, toxins and viruses.

An assistant for Gov. Beverly Perdue’s chief of staff opened the envelope Monday afternoon, leading to an evacuation. The building houses offices for Perdue and others and the old House and Senate chambers.

Easley takes leave from law firm RALEIGH (AP) — Former North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley has taken a leave of absence from the law firm he joined before investigations surrounding him surfaced.

William Allcott with the McGuire Woods firm in Virginia confirmed Tuesday that Easley took leave several weeks ago but didn’t say why. An attorney for Easley didn’t respond to a request for comment.

The News & Observer of Raleigh first reported the departure.

Suspicious parcel sickens immigration workers DURHAM (AP) — Three employees say they felt sick after a strange envelope with an oily residue was delivered to a federal immigration office in North Carolina.

WRAL-TV reports that Dur-

ham police evacuated the U.S. Bureau of Citizen and Immigration Service office on Tuesday after employees reported nausea and irritated eyes.

Three workers were taken to a local hospital as a precaution. Initial tests on the envelope did not find hazardous chemicals.

Bill pushes fund to dump Massey shares RALEIGH (AP) — Some North Carolina legislators want to force state pension fund managers to dump investments in the operator of the West Virginia coal mine where 29 men died in an explosion two months ago.

Supporters of a bill said Tuesday that Massey Energy Co. is a bad investment because of a poor safety record at the mine and the information that has been exposed since the April 5 blast.

North Carolina now owns less than one-third of one percent of the company’s stock.

Advocates say they hope that if North Carolina drops Massey shares, other states would follow and that would pressure the coal company to clean up.

Workers rally at Legislature against layoffs

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina state employees have gathered to oppose a pending state budget that threatens some jobs and freezes pay and benefits.

Hundreds of blue-shirted members of the State Employees Association of North Carolina rallied on Tuesday in Raleigh. The association says its 55,000 members want lawmakers to approve a budget friendlier to working families.

Defense: Blagojevich ’didn’t take a dime’

CHICAGO (AP) — Rod Blagojevich is an honest man who “didn’t take a dime� but had the bad judgment to trust the wrong people, the former Illinois governor’s fiery attorney said Tuesday at his corruption trial.

Blagojevich will also take the stand on his own behalf, not just let a lawyer speak for him, defense attorney Sam Adam Jr. said in his opening statements. “The guy ain’t corrupt,�

Adam whispered, after slamming his hand down. He said the ousted governor’s wife, Patti Blagojevich, will take the stand as well.

Adam, who punctuated his opening remarks by waving his arm and pointing his fingers with his arm extended, said Blagojevich was fooled by those close to him.

Now-convicted influence peddler Antoin “Tony� Rezko helped raise money for lots of political candidates, including Blagojevich, Adam said. But he told jurors that “not a single penny� of ill-gotten money went into Blagojevich’s campaign fund or his own pockets.

State: Teen plotted 2nd Columbine-style attack on school

RIVERHEAD, N.Y. (AP) — A teenager plotted with another to pull off a Columbinestyle attack on his former high school, authorities on New York’s Long Island said Tuesday — the second time in three years he has been accused of such a plot.

Christopher Franko, who turned 18 on Tuesday, was ordered held without bail after his court-appointed attorney entered a not guilty plea to felony conspiracy. Franko and Dana Saltzman, 16, were arrested in early May on misdemeanor conspiracy, but a grand jury voted to upgrade the charges.

The teens were plotting to attack Connetquot High School this Thursday with shotguns and explosives, prosecutors said. Their plan was to kill security guards outside of the school, then go inside and shoot as many students as possible, Assistant District Attorney Glenn Kurtzrock said. Once police arrived at the school, the pair planned to fire at officers before ultimately kill-

At inmate’s request, Utah prepares firing squad SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Barring a last-minute reprieve, Ronnie Lee Gardner will be strapped into a chair, a hood will be placed over his head and a small white target will be pinned over his heart.

The order will come: “Ready, aim...�

The 49-year-old convicted killer will be executed by a team of five anonymous marksmen firing with a matched set of .30-caliber rifles. He is to be the third person executed by firing squad in Utah — or anywhere else in the U.S. — since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976.

Utah was a long holdout in keeping the method, which it has used in 40 of its 49 executions in the last 160 years. Utah lawmakers made lethal injection the default method of execution in 2004, but inmates condemned before then can still choose the firing squad.

That’s what Gardner did in April, politely telling a judge, “I would like the firing squad, please.� Neither he nor his attorneys have said why.

Teacher finds 1792 document among books, scraps PEABODY, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts teacher cleaning up her classroom in preparation for a move has discovered a Colonial-era document buried in a pile of outdated textbooks and dusty scraps of papers.

Michelle Eugenio, a fourthgrade teacher in Peabody, Mass., found the yellowed sheet of paper two weeks ago. Dated April 1792 and protected by plastic, it appears to document the payment of a debt by a Vermont man named Jonathan Bates.

Peabody Historical Society President Bill Power verified the paper’s authenticity.

He tells The Salem News he was thrilled with the discovery.

No one knows how the paper ended up at Peabody’s Center School or how long it has been there.

Bates served in the Continental Army in 1780 and died in 1808 at age 63. He’s buried in Williamstown, Vt.

GM pulls back on dealership cuts DETROIT (AP) — General Motors will keep open about 900 dealerships across the country that it had planned to close, a shift in corporate strategy that could preserve thousands of jobs.

The automaker will wind up with about 5,000 U.S. dealers in July, up from original plans for 4,100, Mark Reuss, GM’s North America president, told The Associated Press.

It had about 6,000 when it filed for bankruptcy last year.

The change represents a desire by GM’s new leadership team to avoid the expense of closing dealerships, a step they say is not critical to bring the company back to profits.

GM’s large dealer network “used to be one of our main, massive strengths,� Reuss told the AP during a recent test drive of the new Chevrolet Cruze. “I still think that’s true. It can be true with the right dealers.�

July is the end of a federally mandated arbitration process under which dealerships that GM and Chrysler Group had targeted could appeal. Partly because of GM’s strategy change, only about a quarter of the 1,576 cases brought by GM and Chrysler dealers remain before arbitrators. “Everyone’s pretty excited,� said Bob Kapp, new car manager at Allen Chevrolet Cadillac in Monroe, Mich., which

Chrysler dealership owner Catherine Zimmer, right, talks with partners Rich Zimmer, left, and John Zimmer, outside their auto dealership, Tuesday, in Florence, Ky. General Motors Co. expects to keep 1,000 more dealers than it planned when it first announced dealer closures last year. learned in April that it would be reinstated as a GM dealer and plans to hire 10 to 12 people as business picks up. “It was tough there for a while.�

GM on Tuesday would not estimate how many total jobs might be saved.

The National Automobile Dealers Association, a trade group, says about 50 people work at an average new-car dealership.

Both GM and Chrysler announced plans to shed 2,800 dealerships as part of their reorganizations.

The companies said their U.S. sales didn’t justify so many dealers — nearly 10,000 between them. By comparison, Toyota has only about 1,200 even though it’s the secondlargest automaker by U.S. sales.

GM and Chrysler also argued that closing some

dealers would make the remaining ones more profitable and allow them to invest in nicer facilities, advertising and training.

GM’s last CEO, Fritz Henderson, convinced an Obama administration task force that GM needed to close struggling dealers. But he was ousted in November, just before Congress passed a law requiring arbitration before either automaker could cut a dealership loose.

Since the arbitration hearings began in February, most cases have been settled — either because GM and Chrysler reinstated dealers or the dealers withdrew their cases, some of them to sign with other automakers, others to close for good. About 300 GM dealers and fewer

than 100 Chrysler dealers targeted for closure are still awaiting a decision from arbitrators.

Reuss wouldn’t elaborate on the change in GM’s strategy. “I’m concentrating on what it needs to be for the new GM,� he said. “I think we’ve removed a lot of the anxiety and all the things that go with that.�

Chrysler, too, will have more dealers than it planned when it emerged from bankruptcy, although it won’t say exactly how many.

It closed about 800 last summer but has since agreed to reinstate about 10 percent of those.

Chrysler has been more aggressive than GM in closing dealerships. It sued North Carolina and four other states to stop state laws that would have protected dealers.

Because it closed its dealers immediately last year — instead of giving them a year’s warning, as GM did — Chrysler also faces some sticky legal cases. For example, an arbitrator recently ruled that Chrysler should reinstate a Dodge dealer in Deland, Fla., that was terminated last June.

But Chrysler had already awarded Deland Dodge’s franchise agreement to another dealer across the street. Deland Dodge general manager Jeremy Kiel said it’s unclear what will happen next. In the meantime, he has had to lay off 10 employees.

HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL

Obama tells seniors bill will work for them WHEATON, Md. (AP) — President Barack Obama on Tuesday sought to sell the health overhaul law to skeptical seniors, launching a defense of his presidency’s biggest accomplishment as the election season gets under way and the Gulf oil spill dominates news.

The questions Obama got from a crowd at a senior center in suburban Maryland, and from others listening on the phone, suggested that

plenty of doubts remain even now that the rancorous health care debate has faded from the headlines.

There’s only so much Obama can do to ease concerns. But with crucial midterm elections looming, the administration is determined to put the law’s benefits front and center as they come online, in hopes of winning over public opinion for the new system and generating confidence in leadership by Obama

and his Democratic allies controlling Congress.

Tuesday’s event was timed to coincide with the release later this week of the first batch of $250 checks to seniors who fall into Medicare’s prescription drug coverage gap, known as the “doughnut hole.� Some 4 million elderly and disabled people will get checks this year, a down payment on the law’s approach to closing the doughnut hole entirely over the next decade.

The first question came from a woman in the audience: Why can’t he close the doughnut hole faster?

Obama’s answer: “It’s very expensive.�

The next question was from a listener in Illinois who wanted to know whether participants in the private insurance plans in Medicare, called Medicare Advantage, would lose benefits.

The answer is yes, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

NATION BRIEFS Job openings rise to highest level in 16 months

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Job openings jumped in April to the highest level in 16 months, a sign that private employers may boost hiring in coming months.

The number of jobs advertised at the end of April rose to 3.1 million from 2.8 million in March, the Labor Department said Tuesday.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most openings since December 2008.

Private employers accounted for the entire net gain. The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advertising for jobs decreased, despite the hiring of hundreds of thousands of census workers in May. The departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, known as the Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey, or JOLTS, follows a disappointing employment report Friday that found private employers added only 41,000 jobs in May. Temporary census hiring accounted for 411,000 jobs.

The unemployment rate fell to 9.7 percent from 9.9 percent in April.

The rise in job openings â&#x20AC;&#x153;makes you a little more upbeat about the labor market,â&#x20AC;? said Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at JPMorgan Chase.

More factory jobs ease economic pain

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Manufacturing job gains in the Midwest helped lower the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic stress in April to its lowest point in five months, according to The Associated Pressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; monthly analysis of conditions around the

country.

Contributing to the improvement were lower foreclosure rates in two states with beaten-down housing markets: California and Florida.

Economic stress levels dipped in every state except Louisiana and Nevada in April. They also declined in more than 90 percent of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3,141 counties, according to APâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Economic Stress Index.

Only 42 percent of counties were deemed stressed in April, compared with half in March. The APâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s index found the average countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stress score in April was 10.6, down from 11.5 in March. It was the lowest score since Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rating of 10.2.

The index calculates a score for each county and state from 1 to 100 based on unemployment, foreclosure and bankruptcy rates.

A higher score indicates more stress. Under a rough rule of thumb, a county is considered stressed when its score exceeds 11.

Stocks climb, not slide, in volatile last hour NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This time, the stock market had a late-day rally.

Most stocks surged in the final hour of trading Tuesday to give the Dow Jones industrials a gain of 123 points. That ended a two-day slump that sent the Dow down nearly 440 to a seven-month low.

The marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rebound was choppy although Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke set the tone for the day by saying he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

expect the economy to go back into recession. The Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index rose, but the Nasdaq composite index slipped as chipmakers fell on downbeat analyst comments.

Like the last two days, most of the action was in the last hour. Tuesday, however, it was buying that accelerated. The Dow was up only about 16 points shortly after 3 p.m., then soared 107 points in the final 43 minutes of trading.

1 worker dead in natural gas line blast in Texas CLEBURNE, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A large natural gas line in north Texas erupted Monday after utility workers accidentally hit the line, sending a massive fireball into the air and killing one worker, officials said.

Authorities found the missing workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body several hours after the explosion, once searchers could safely walk through the entire charred area. Authorities had hoped the missing man had left the scene on his own, like some of his colleagues who drove themselves to hospitals.

Brian Fine, Hood Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency management coordinator, said the workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was found some distance from the blast site.

The manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was not immediately released.

The worker had been riding a truck drilling holes for utility poles when the line suddenly exploded, and other workers lost sight of him in the intense smoke, said Roger Harmon, Johnson Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top elected official.

Arkansas Senate Democratic candidate, Lt. Gov. Bill Halter waves at passing vehicles in North Little Rock, Ark., Tuesday. Halter is campaigning for Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runoff against Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark.

Lincoln tested in runoff; primaries coast to coast WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Democrat Blanche Lincoln battled to survive union opposition and an anti-establishment tide thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already drowned two fellow senators, and political outsiders from coast to coast tested their strength Tuesday on the busiest day of an unpredictable primary season.

With polls showing a sullen electorate, there was no shortage of subplots as voters in nearly a dozen states chose candidates for Congress and governorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offices.

Californians decided whether to lead the fall GOP ticket with a pair of wealthy businesswomen campaigning on a promise to cut spending, and tea party activists tested their muscle in Nevada, backing Sharron Angle in a multi-candidate race to select a Republican opponent against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a state where unemployment was 13.7 percent in April.

Nevadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Republican governor, Jim Gibbons, faced strong opposition for renomination after a term marked by a messy public divorce, At the same time, a pair of former governors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Republican Terry Branstad in Iowa and Democrat Edmund G. Brown Jr. in California â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hoped to take the first steps toward reclaiming the power they once held.

In the House, one Republican incumbent and one Democrat faced what amounted to ideological purity challenges.

Republican Rep. Bob Inglis in South Carolina sought renomination in his solidly conservative district in a race in which his vote for the 2008 financial bailout was an issue. And California Democratic Rep. Jane Harman, a member of the Blue Dog moderatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coalition in Congress, faced a liberal challenger for her safely Democratic seat.

The races took place in the shadow of the worst recession in decades, stubbornly high unemployment, dispiriting day-by-day images of the damage caused by an offshore oil rig disaster, and poll after poll that reported the voters angry and eager for a change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe very many politicians or very many people on the political scene, so I just had to vote my conscience and my prayers,â&#x20AC;? said Judy Hamilton, a 59year-old administrative assistant from Columbia, S.C., as she cast her ballot in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Republican primary.

That sentiment made the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s balloting a prelude to the fall, when Republicans hope to challenge Democrats for control of Congress and the two parties vie for three dozen statehouses midway through President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s term.

So far, Sens. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, and Arlen Specter, D-Pa., and Reps.

Alan Mollohan, D-W. Va., and Parker Griffith, RAla., have been defeated, a balanced set of one

incumbent from each party in each house of Congress.

Lincoln, a two-term moderate, narrowly led in balloting in a primary May 18, but was thrown into a runoff with Lt. Gov Bill Halter three weeks ago when she fell short of a majority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are very few who come out on the battleground and dare to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Where is the common ground? Where do we solve these problems?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; One of the reasons Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been beat up is Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten out of that foxhole. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m out here in the middle,â&#x20AC;?

Lincoln said after voting in west Little Rock.

Organized labor, angered over Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s positions on health care, union organizing proposals and trade, poured more than $5 million into an effort to lift Halter to the nomination. Union leaders said they were intent on demanding accountability from lawmakers who make promises and then fail to follow through.

Still, Halter declined consistently to state a public position on one of laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big priorities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the proposal to make it easier for unions to organize workers.

The winner will face Republican Rep. John Boozman in the fall in a race that the GOP has made one of its top targets.

There were gubernatorial primaries in California, Iowa, Maine, Nevada, South Carolina and South Dakota.

MISDEMEANOR DOMESTIC ABUSE

E-BRIEFS

Lawyer: Sheen to plead guilty

By P. SOLOMON BANDA Associated Press Writer

ASPEN, Colo. — Charlie Sheen could work at a Colorado theater company by day and spend his nights in jail under a deal reached with prosecutors that calls for him to plead guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge in his domestic abuse case, an attorney said Monday.

In exchange, prosecutors would drop criminal mischief and felony menacing charges stemming from an argument Sheen had with his wife on Christmas Day at an Aspen home where they were on vacation, said Yale Galanter, an attorney for Brooke Mueller Sheen.

The deal calls for Sheen to serve a 30-day sentence and three months probation, the lawyer said.

A judge must still approve the agreement. A hearing set for Monday was continued until July 12. Attorneys planned to meet Tuesday in Aspen to discuss the case, Galanter said.

Sheen was at the courthouse with his lawyer Richard Cummins, but neither offered any comments after the proceedings.

Charlie Sheen leaves the Pitkin County Courthouse with his attorney Richard Cummins in Aspen, Colo., on Monday. Sheen’s hearing was continued until July 12.

Deputy District Attorney Arnold Mordkin didn’t provide further details.

“We’re going to need more time than available to complete the finer points,” he said.

After the meeting, Galanter refused to say what had caused the delay but noted the work-release proposal wasn’t a glitch.

“We were all extremely frustrated,” Galanter said outside the courthouse.

“Right now, we’re really back at square one.”

He wouldn’t elaborate.

Galanter said Brooke Mueller Sheen remained supportive of her husband.

Prosecutors confirmed last week that Sheen had reached a plea agreement but released no details.

Sheen, the star of the hit CBS show “Two and

a Half Men,” previously pleaded not guilty to menacing, criminal mischief and assault charges. The menacing charge carries a prison sentence of up to three years.

During the jail term, Galanter said, Sheen would be released during the day so he can work at Theatre Aspen. He could leave the jail for work at 8 a.m. and would have to return by 8 p.m.

Paige Price, the theater’s artistic director, said Sheen had agreed to work for free. His duties would include teaching a class for professional actors and possible fundraising for the nonprofit.

“We think it is community service in that it is a nonprofit,” Price said.

Brooke Mueller Sheen

approved the deal, Galanter said. She previously asked prosecutors to drop the charges against Sheen, but they refused, according to the lawyer.

He said prosecutors had offered a deferred sentence, whereby Sheen would plead guilty to a felony and charges would be dropped after two years, which is similar to the way other cases are resolved in Colorado.

Sheen has taken anger management classes and will present evidence showing he has completed a 36hour course, Galanter said.

“They’re both adults, and they have two beautiful babies together. I know they’re working on it. I can tell you that no matter what happens, Charlie and Brooke will always be good friends,” he said.

On Christmas Day, Brooke Mueller Sheen told police the actor had threatened to kill her after she told him she wanted a divorce. She said he straddled her on a bed with one hand on her neck and the other holding a knife.

Charlie Sheen told police he and his wife had argued but denied threatening her. He told officers they slapped each other on the arms and that he had snapped two pairs of her eyeglasses in front of her, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

Kid Rock ready to party as host of CMT Awards NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Kid Rock won’t be too far out of his comfort zone as host of the Country Music Television Awards.

It will be kind of like throwing a party.

“They’re just kind Kid Rock of loose and fun, and they’re geared that way — to have fun,” he said of Wednesday’s event, to be aired live on the network from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

“You go to the Grammys, and it’s very serious. You’re just like, ’Man, everyone lighten up a little bit. It’s fun.

It’s music. Let’s celebrate,”’ he said. “And that’s just kind of the atmosphere at the CMT Awards, just really laid back, really fun, got some over-the-top performances, a little riff raff here and there.

It just creates for a good atmosphere, good time.”

Kid Rock wouldn’t reveal too much of what’s going to happen during the show, but he did offer up a possible scenario.

“There will probably be (a moment) where I propose to Kellie Pickler,” he said.

“She’ll immediately dump me as I’m flirting with Carrie Underwood. I’ll probably be smacked by Miranda Lambert for the whole fiasco. Then me and Jamey Johnson will go get drunk.”

When informed that Lambert is now engaged to fellow country artist Blake Shelton, Kid replied, “I’m not mess-

Chris Brown denied entry to UK, tour is postponed LONDON (AP) — Britain says U.S. singer Chris Brown has been denied entry into the United Kingdom, postponing his tour.

Brown had been scheduled to perform in London, Manchester, Birmingham and the Scottish city of Glasgow but the British governBrown ment’s Home Office said he had been refused a visa because of his past criminal record.

Last year Brown was sentenced to five years’ probation and six months of community service for the beating of his then-girlfriend, R&B singing sensation Rihanna.

The Home Office said Brown applied for his visa last week and should have been notified of its refusal Monday.

Promoter SJM concerts said Tuesday that Brown’s tour had been postponed “due to unforeseen circumstances.”

Heidi Montag files for legal separation from Spencer Pratt

LOS ANGELES (AP) — More than “The Hills” may be ending for two of its stars — Heidi Montag has filed for separation from Spencer Pratt. She cited irreconcilable differences in a court document submitted Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif.

Montag and Pratt are stars of the MTV series “The Hills” and have been married since last April. The series is in its final season.

Montag’s two-page handwritten filing does not offer any more details on the couple’s breakup. An e-mail sent to an MTV spokeswoman seeking comment was not immediately returned.

The filing also doesn’t indicate whether Montag intends to file for divorce, which would formally end their marriage.

QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday called the proposed new U.N. sanctions against Iran’s suspect nuclear program the toughest ever, a day before the U.N. Security Council was expected to vote on the measure.

Clinton told reporters in Ecuador’s capital that there is strong support for a fourth resolution penalizing Iran for its refusal to prove its nuclear program is peaceful and defying international demands to halt uranium enrichment.

“I think it is fair (to say) that these are the most significant sanctions that Iran has ever faced,” Clinton said at a news conference with Ecuador’s president.

“The amount of unity that has been engendered by the international community is very significant.”

She declined to predict the outcome of the vote in the 15-member Security Council, but U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates in London said the measure would pass and pave the way for tougher additional measures by the U.S. and its allies.

“The strategy here is a combination of diplomacy and pressure to persuade the Iranians that they are headed in the wrong direction in terms of their own security, that they will undermine their security by pursuit of nuclear weapons, not enhance it,” Gates said.

In the final version of the U.N. resolution, obtained Monday by The Associated Press, sanctions would be tougher than previous penalties but still far short of crippling economic punishments or an oil embargo.

WEATHER TRIVIA

Peru’s chief police spokesman, Col. Abel Gamarra, told The Associated Press that Van der Sloot admitted under questioning Monday that he killed 21-year-old Stephany Flores on May 30.

Several Peruvian media reported that Van der Sloot killed Flores in a rage after learning she had looked up information about his past on his laptop without his permission. They did not name their sources for the information.

The newspaper La Republica said that he tearfully confessed, in the presence of a prosecutor and a state-appointed attorney, to grabbing Flores by the neck and hitting her because she had viewed photos and videos about the Aruba case on his computer while he was out buying coffee.

Gamarra would not provide details of the confession.

Nor would the chief of Peru’s criminal police, Gen. Cesar Guardia, when the AP reached him by telephone.

Guardia said only police director Gen. Miguel Hidalgo could authorize the information to be divulged. Hidalgo’s cell phone rang unanswered.

Sex abuse crisis gives momentum to Catholic dissidents ROME (AP) — The clerical sex abuse crisis is energizing Roman Catholic dissidents who want to open up the priesthood to women and ditch celibacy requirements.

They marched on Rome Tuesday even as Pope Benedict XVI called on priests to converge on the Vatican to cap a yearlong celebration of the priesthood. And in a sign of the deepening crisis, the faithful in traditionally Catholic Austria are at the forefront of demands for change.

In Rome, church reformers demanded changes in the male-dominated church structure they say is responsible for covering up priestly sex abuse for decades, pressing their case on the eve of a three-day rally of the world’s priests summoned by Benedict.

What was meant to be a year of celebration has turned into one marred by revelations of hundreds of new cases of clerical abuse and Vatican inaction to root out pedophile priests.

Facts seem as murky as waters NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The cap over a broken BP wellhead at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico is collecting more gushing crude day by day, but that’s about the extent of the details known as authorities try to pinpoint how much oil is escaping, where it’s going and what harm it will cause.

The recently installed containment cap on the stricken BP wellhead is helping to limit the leak, collecting more than 620,000 gallons of oil Monday, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said Tuesday in Washington.

Still, underwater video feeds continue to show a dark geyser.

“I have never said this is going well,” said Allen, who’s monitoring the response effort for the government. “We’re throwing everything at it that we’ve got. I’ve said time and time again that nothing good happens when oil is on the water.”

Authorities had earlier reported that the cap collected around 460,000 gallons Sunday and that it was capturing anywhere from a third to threequarters of the oil spewing out after a damaged riser pipe was cut as part of the containment effort, increasing the flow as a side effect.

University of Texas engineering professor Paul Bommer, a member of the Coast Guard team that’s trying to determine how much oil is still leaking, told The Associated Press it’s possible that estimates the team will generate could be a bit higher than current government estimates.

BP announced plans recently to swap out the current cap with a bigger one next month that can capture more oil, raising questions about why such plans weren’t in place at first as a backup.

“I know it takes some time to fabricate these things,” Bommer said. “It’s not something you just go to Wal-Mart and buy.”

Oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill floats on the water as the sky is reflected in sheen on Barataria Bay off the coast of Louisiana Monday.

The current equipment collecting the spilled oil at the surface is believed to be nearing its daily capacity. BP spokesman Max McGahan told the AP the company will process some of the flow by sending it to a burner that turns it into a combustible fog and ignites it.

The rig equipped with the burner will be moved away from the main leak site so flames and heat do not endanger other vessels, he said.

BP will also boost capacity by bringing in a floating platform it believes can process most of the flow, spokesman Robert Wine said. He didn’t know when it would arrive.

Bommer’s team, the Flow Rate Technical Group, includes federal scientists, independent experts and academic researchers, and its projections could ultimately be used to penalize BP judging by how much oil escapes.

BP CEO Tony Hayward is scheduled to testify before a congressional committee June 17 about the company’s role in a rig explosion April 20 that killed 11 workers, and the ensuing spill.

Hayward enraged many when he later said, “I’d like my life back,” and

is sure to receive pointed questions from lawmakers about the cause of the accident and the response to it.

President Barack Obama, who on Monday told NBC’s “Today” show that he had met with fishermen and experts so he knew “whose ass to kick” over the spill, plans to visit the region Monday and Tuesday for a fourth time since the crisis began, the White House said.

And Allen planned to meet with BP to assess how well it is handling claims for relief from people hurt by the spill.

The aim is “to see if we need to provide any oversight,” Allen said, noting that “working claims is not something that’s part of BP’s organizational competence here.”

Alabama Gov. Bob Riley called out the National Guard on Tuesday to help spread the word among coastal residents that they could ask BP for compensation, noting that few have applied. Guardsmen will go through communities for three weeks telling people about the claims process, he said.

Tests have confirmed plumes of oil in low concentrations as far as 3,300 feet below the surface and more than 40 miles northeast of the well site,

NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco said Tuesday.

On the surface, oil is washing up thick in some areas, leaving others relatively unscathed, and playing hide-and-seek in others. The spill’s fickle nature was evident this week near the AlabamaFlorida state line.

On the Alabama side on Monday, oil-laden seaweed littered beaches for miles, and huge orange globs stained the sands.

But at Perdido Key, on the Florida side, the sand was white and virtually crudefree.

On Tuesday morning, though, the Alabama side looked markedly better, with calmer seas, signs that cleanup crews had visited and sticky clumps of oil no longer clinging to washed-up seaweed.

BP said Tuesday it would donate money from selling the recovered oil to wildlife protection in the region, where birds and other wildlife are dying in numbers unknown.

As the sun rose at Barataria Bay, La., on Tuesday, marsh islands teemed with oily brown pelicans and crude-stained white ibis. The birds inadvertently used their oiled beaks like paint brushes, dabbing at their wings, as the brown goo bled into their feathers.

CAVALIERS CONFIRM CONTACT WITH IZZO INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert refused to comment Tuesday on reports he has offered a job to Michigan State’s Tom Izzo and said superstar free agent LeBron James will not be consulted during the team’s search for a new coach.

Speaking at a news conference, Gilbert strongly refuted theories that James has had input on previous hires, the firing of coach Mike Brown and general manager Danny Ferry’s recent departure.

“The concept that LeBron James has been involved in any way, shape or form with firing our head coach, involved in the transition to general manager Chris Grant and will be involved in future coaching decisions and hires is totally, 100 percent and patently false,” Gilbert said. “The truth is the truth.”

BIG 3 TEAM, SET RECORD IN CHARITY EVENT

BRISTOL, Va. (AP) — Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player individually remain big draws. Together they’re a mesmerizing trio on a golf course.

And still setting records, this time by harnessing their star power Tuesday to raise just over $15.1 million for charity.

The fundraiser was called the “Big 3 for Mountain Mission Kids” and was the first public event at an exclusive Virginia club.

It’s the biggest single day in fundraising in PGA history. The money goes to the Mountain Mission School, an 89-year-old school for needy children.

Nicklaus says being able to set an all-time record is “very, very special.”

NFL PANTHERS’ DAVIS, MARSHALL SIGN TENDERS CHARLOTTE (AP) — Carolina Panthers restricted free agent linebacker Thomas Davis and cornerback Richard Marshall have signed their one-year tenders.

Tuesday’s signings come hours after Davis appeared to tweak his surgically repaired right knee. The starting linebacker had been participating in the optional workouts this month under an injury waiver.

Davis will make $3.268 million this season. Marshall, a starting cornerback, will make $1.759 million.

Both players would have been unrestricted free agents if NFL owners hadn’t decide to end the collective bargaining agreement after this season.

That put new rules into place that made Davis and Marshall restricted free agent with few options.

The Panthers made no attempt to sign either player to a long-term deal.

WASHINGTON — The crowd outside Nationals Park buzzed anxiously.

Some were worried about getting to their seats early. Some were nervous about getting seats at all. All of them were on edge about Stephen Strasburg’s major league debut Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

“It’s history in the making,” said Mark Cunningham, 20, of Leesburg, Va. Strasburg finished with 14 strikeouts in seven complete innings. He allowed two runs on four hits and walked none.

Cunningham, home from his sophomore year at Newmann University in Pennsylvania, was positioned near the front of the ticket line for grandstand seats, which went on sale at 4:35 p.m. for $5 each. The line snaked across the street from the stadium’s main entrance and down the next block.

“I’m not a Nationals fan, but I wanted to say I was here for Stephen Strasburg’s first start,” Cunningham said. “He has received the most hype of any player in any sport since I’ve been a sports fan.”

Strasburg — last year’s No. 1 draft pick who many are speculating will be the saving grace of the Nationals’ losing record — was all anyone was talking about. Fans worried about how long he would be able to pitch, and how well he could do in the big leagues.

Expectations — and the potential for disappointment — were high.

“He represents almost a symbol of optimism,” said Doug Linton, 62, a retired intelligence officer, who refers

Spivey believes in Harper

By RYAN SARDA

sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Lee County baseball coach Charlie Spivey believes in 17-year-old phenom Bryce Harper.

He should know. He’s coached him.

Spivey coached Harper when he was a member of the 16-U USA National Team in the summer of 2008. Spivey was an assistant on the team that went on to win the gold medal in the 2008 COPABE

“AA” Youth Pan American Championships in Veracruz, Mexico.

Harper was taken with the No. 1 overall pick by the Washington Nationals in Monday’s Major League Baseball Draft after just one season at College of Southern Nevada.

“When I coached Bryce, I saw the second coming of (Texas Rangers outfielder and former No. 1 pick) Josh Hamilton,” said Spivey, the Lee County head coach who saw

plenty of Hamilton when he starred at Athens Drive.“We played against Josh for four straight years and he was the best player we’ve ever played against. Bryce is that good. It was a blessing to be able to coach him because he was just so coachable and was always willing to get better.”

Duke paid Coach K $4 million in ‘08-09

RALEIGH— A retired Duke University financial executive has surpassed Mike Krzyzewski as the highest-paid person by the school — for one year, anyway.

The Associated Press on Tuesday obtained Duke’s most recent IRS documents for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2009.

Krzyzewski received nearly $4.2 million in total compensation in 2008-09 with a base salary of nearly $2 million and about $1.8 million in bonuses and incentives, according to the IRS Form 990 documents filed last month. Nearly $420,000 was listed as deferred compensation.

SPORTS SCENE

You just gotta love the drama that is NASCAR W

hen I was little, maybe around 8to-10 years of age, my mom was a stay-athome mom. Her sisters, or my aunts, were also stay-athome moms and it was not unusual for one or two of them to come over during the day and chat (or I guess we could call it gossip) for while.

As I look back at those days now I find it interesting that they always seemed to come at the same time each day. I now realize that they came to watch soap operas. I was so naive back then because it took me a long time to realize why they did. We had a color television.

I can tell you that they would have loved the drama that we witnessed Sunday in the hills of Pocono.

Back before the start of the season the NASCAR brass told the drivers that the gloves were off. They were telling them to mix it up a little, race hard and they would turn their heads the other way. I don’t think anyone thought that it create the turmoil and drama that it has. Let’s take a look at the newest soap that only comes on Sundays titled ”As the Bold and Beautiful General Hospital where All My Young and

Lynn Gaines In The Draft

Restless Children will fight to The Edge of Night Sprint Cup Series.”

Earlier this season it was Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson. Then it became the Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin drama. Although that is still brewing there are now several little stories going throughout the pits. Let’s see, last week in Charlotte it was Kyle Busch and Jeff Burton and as of this writing we now can add Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano, Kasey Kahne and A. J. Allmendinger into the stories.

I love it!

I understood Burton getting upset with Kyle at Charlotte. After all, on two or three occasions Kyle was responsible for Burton having to let off the gas to avoid contact while Kyle continued through the field. Eventually Kyle made contact one time too many and he cut down Burton’s

NOW IN-STOCK Pool Accessories and Games

tire, which caused Burton to lose a lap and cost him a good finish.

Needless to say Burton was not happy and he got in Busch’s face and expressed his disappointment. I thought Burton handled it well, especially since Kyle was his usual smug self.

Now let’s talk about last Sunday. Did Logano slide down too quick and clip the front of Harvick, or did Harvick intentionally tap the back of Logano? Either way it appeared to just be one of those “racing” incidents.

But let’s look back to last year. If my memory is correct I don’t believe they liked each other then and surely don’t now. I don’t recall the situation but Harvick and Logano had exchanged a few words a few times last year, but nothing like the words Logano had for Harvick Sunday.

Let me see, how was it he said it? Something like his wife wears the pants in that family? Funny, but NASCAR didn’t think his actions were so hilarious after the race, so he was escorted to the NASCAR hauler to be handed a tough penalty. I understood why Logano was upset but again, it was just racing.

I think the one who was the most upset was Kahne.

He has yet to figure out what his teammate Allmendinger was doing when Allmendinger blocked him, made Kahne take the low road through the grass and eventually caused Kahne to lose control and take out several other cars.

Again, the reaction in the pits told the whole story. When Kahne was asked if he was going to say anything to Allmendinger he replied, why, he never listens to anything anyone says so why would he listen to me now?

I love it! I love all of this drama, that it happens so quick and when you least expect it. All of the postrace action made a somewhat lackluster race into one of the most exciting races of the year.

You know, I once got hooked on a soap opera.

It was during the summer of 1980. Sue was expecting our first child and we spent a week at the beach.

We camped at Holden Beach and every afternoon we walked to the grocery store inside the campground, bought some Hagen-Dazs ice cream and would go back and watch General Hospital. It was the time when Luke and Laura got married and that was my brief addiction to soap operas. I had to watch it! I had to keep up with it! I didn’t want to miss an episode! How soon would something happen to them? When would one of them get hurt? There were always so many questions but never enough answers.

They always kept the TV audience guessing!

So is the world of NASCAR. It appears that each and every week they will write another chapter, and I intend on being here to report about it. I just wonder when NASCAR will change the rules and make the drivers behave? I hope never because just like a good soap opera, we want to see who is going to be the bad guy and who is going to cry.

I can’t wait to see who it will be next. Any guesses?

We will find out next week in Michigan!

Wilson picked by Rockies in 4th round RALEIGH (AP) — Russell Wilson hopes to be both North Carolina State’s quarterback and a minor leaguer with the Colorado Rockies.

The Rockies took Wilson on Tuesday in the fourth round of the baseball draft. He says he’s “looking forward to getting out there and being a Rocky, but I also plan on coming back and playing football this fall.

“They’re both my loves,” he added of the two sports.

Colorado selected the 2008 Atlantic Coast Conference football rookie of the year with the 140th overall pick.

Wilson says he probably will play second base or center field.

Among the lingering unanswered questions: When will he report to one of the Rockies’ farm teams? And how long will he stay before returning to Raleigh for preseason football camp?

Still, Wilson expressed confidence that he’ll be able to play both sports.

“They know my situation. They know that I play football and baseball,” Wilson said. “We’ll continue to talk and figure this thing out.”

N.C. State coach Tom O’Brien said it would be best for both his quarterback and the team for him to be on campus when camp starts Aug. 3, and he plans to talk to Wilson on Wednesday and come up with a plan.

Parker’s choice: baseball or football COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — While Clemson coach Dabo Swinney expects quarterback Kyle Parker to sign with baseball’s Colorado Rockies, he wonders if their contract offer will be enough to make him give up football.

Parker was taken by the Rockies with the 26th selection overall Monday night, a short time before the baseball Tigers wrapped up an NCAA regional title with a 13-7 win at Auburn. Parker hit a three-run homer which made him the first player in Division I to throw 20 touchdown passes and hit 20 home runs in a school year.

“I would be surprised if he doesn’t sign a baseball contract,” Swinney said Tuesday. “The question is does he walk away from football or does he negotiate to play another year of football.”

Swinney says he’ll leave that up to Parker and his family to decide.

Back in the winter, Swinney was confident Parker would return, saying it would take a “Brinks’ truck full of money” to change that.

Swinney knows that truck may be on the way, courtesy of the Rockies.

“They’re going to have to pay him as a baseball player, but they’re also going to have pay this young man to walk away from something he loves,” Swinney said.

SPORTS BRIEFS Kansas could be adrift without major conference

Carolina Panthers’ Brandon LaFell catches a ball during a summer practice session for the NFL football team in Charlotte on Tuesday.

LaFell ready to block his way into lineup CHARLOTTE (AP) — Rookie Brandon LaFell gets an earful each time he’s around new Panthers teammate Jonathan Stewart.

In Carolina, blocking isn’t optional for a receiver.

So if LaFell hopes to replace Muhsin Muhammad as a starter, he’ll not only have to catch balls, he’ll need to open holes downfield for Stewart and DeAngelo Williams, the first teammates since the 1970 merger to each rush for over 1,100 yards.

“Every time Jonathan sees me in the training room or we’re at the lunch table that’s what he talks about,” LaFell said Tuesday.

“He’s like, ’Hey man, Moose caught a lot of passes but he was mostly downfield blocking. I’m going to make some big runs if you’re downfield blocking.”’

While the former LSU star’s head is spinning in optional workouts this month as he scrambles to keep up with the speed of the NFL and the more complex offense, LaFell is confident he can become

the big target, strongblocking receiver opposite Steve Smith after Carolina decided not to re-sign Muhammad.

The 23-year-old LaFell also has the added motivation of trying to prove shouldn’t have fallen into the third round of the draft.

“I was mad I went in the third round,” LaFell said before trying a different spin.

“But if I went in the first round I’d have a lot of pressure on me. Second round, I’d have a little more pressure on me. Third round, everybody is expecting a lot from me on my team, but outside of the team nobody is expecting much.

“Me coming in and having the opportunity to compete for the No. 2 job, I’m in a great situation.”

LaFell is currently working behind Dwayne Jarrett, the disappointing former second-round pick entering his fourth season.

But LaFell will be given an opportunity to compete for the No. 2 job, a position Carolina has struggled to fill for years.

“He looks good. It looks like he belongs,” coach John Fox said. “Again, we’re not in pads yet, we’re not in game situations yet, but so far he looks to be adapting well to football at this level.”

The 6-foot-2, 211-pound Houston native was a second-team all-Southeastern Conference selection last season after catching 57 passes for 792 yards and 11 touchdowns. LaFell’s 25 career TDs rank second in LSU history despite a carousel of quarterbacks in his final two years.

“My last two years, Ryan Perrilloux, the guy who got kicked out of school, if he had stayed, a little more experienced guy, I feel like I could have had more catches, more yards, could have broke a couple of records,” he said. “But those young guys, we helped each other a lot. I helped those young guys grow and they helped me get better, whether it was going for bad balls, diving for low balls and things like that.”

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — For the Kansas Jayhawks and their proud basketball heritage, all this could not be more demeaning.

All of a sudden, Kansas’ status as a major player in college athletics has been placed in the hands of Nebraska and — humiliation of humiliations — archrival Missouri.

While those two decide whether to abandon the Big 12 for the more lucrative Big Ten, Kansas sits and sweats. A pullout by the Huskers and Tigers could result in the collapse of the Big 12 and strip Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State of the safety and privileges of membership in a Bowl Championship Series conference.

Estes earns a berth in US Open THE WOODLANDS, Texas (AP) — Bob Estes has earned another trip to Pebble Beach by claiming one of the two final spots in a rain-delayed qualifier for the U.S. Open.

Estes had rounds of 6967 at The Club at Carlton Woods and joined Robert Gates in getting the final two spots among 13 sectional qualifiers throughout the country. It did not end until Tuesday because of storms.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo withdrew from the qualifier Monday when it became clear he would not make it.

This will be the third U.S. Open that Estes plays at Pebble Beach. He tied for 44th in 1992 the year Tom Kite won, and missed the cut in 2000 during Tiger Woods’ record-setting victory.

Hornets introduce new coach Monty Williams NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Monty Williams says he thought the New Orleans Hornets would be a good fit for him in large part

because of the presence of Chris Paul.

Speaking at his formal introduction as the Hornets’ new coach on Tuesday, the former Portland assistant said he was reminded when the Trail Blazers acquired Andre Miller how much easier basketball becomes with an elite point-guard.

The 38-year-old Williams is a head coach for the first time and also the youngest one in the NBA. Williams says he wants the Hornets play an up-tempo style, but not at the risk of increased turnovers. The new coach also says that if the Hornets don’t improve defensively on the perimeter as well as the inside, it won’t matter what style of offense they play.

Hill to play for Suns again next season PHOENIX (AP) — The Phoenix Suns say veteran forward Grant Hill has exercised the one-year player option on his contract and will return to the team next season.

The 16-year veteran and seven-time All-Star averaged 11.3 points and 5.5 rebounds last season. That was his highest rebounding average since 2002-03 and his most total rebounds (445) in a season since 1999-00.

Hill averaged averaged 9.6 points and 5.8 rebounds in Phoenix’s run to the Western Conference finals, the deepest postseason run of his NBA career.

Revis back at practice after sitting out NEW YORK (AP) — All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis has returned to practice with the New York Jets, despite not having a new contract in place.

Revis was back Tuesday after sitting out a voluntary practice last Thursday amid a contract dispute. He wants to be the highest-paid player at his position, but was initially scheduled to make just $1 million in the fourth season of his six-year rookie deal.

Pronger Pinup: Hockey star poster-ized in Chicago AP photo

Chicago Blackhawks goalie Antti Niemi (31) makes a stop against the Philadelphia Flyers in the third period of Game 5 of the NHL Stanley Cup hockey finals on Sunday in Chicago. The Blackhawks won 7-4 and lead the series 3-2.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not necessarily ideal.

The Blackhawks want to win the Stanley Cup, period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want it more than anything,â&#x20AC;?

Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews said Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the road or at home, to us it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter.â&#x20AC;?

wooden bat league, hit .443 and had 31 home runs with 98 RBI. He skipped his last two years of high school and enrolled at College of Southern Nevada to get his GED, which made him eligible for the draft this year.

The Nationals announced on Tuesday that they plan on using Harper as a full-time right fielder.

Spivey says that based on what he saw from Harper during their summer together in Mexico,

Linton, a fan for 58 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dating back to when the Washington Nationals were the Senators â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember this much buzz surrounding any one ballgame or one ballplayer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big for baseball, across the board,â&#x20AC;? said the South Riding, Va., resident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Strasburg) was the most sought after draft pick certainly in my lifetime.â&#x20AC;?

As a young boy, Linton used to pay 50 cents to ride the bus from Maryland to the old Griffith

win their first championship since the days of Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita in 1961.

The 49 years without a championship is the longest active streak in the NHL. Toews and his teammates know the Stanley Cup will be the guest of honor at Game 6 in Philadelphia. No celebrity, no dignitary will mean more than the nearly 3 feet and 35 pounds of one of sportsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; great trophies, and only 60 victorious minutes would turn it into the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest champagne flute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more time you spend away from the rink, the easier it is to think about how close you are to winning the Cup,â&#x20AC;? Toews said.

Holding the Stanley Cup high and giving it a celebratory shake is the dream of every hockey player. It could

Harper can make the adjustment with no problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was the best athlete out there,â&#x20AC;? said Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was more of a utility player because there were two other catchers on the team. He worked in right field, left field, and even closed some of our games for us on the mound.â&#x20AC;?

Spivey coached the infielders and the hitters and also served as the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent evaluator.

During the month spent together, Spivey says that each player and coach developed close relationships with one another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were all really close,â&#x20AC;? said

Stadium, and 50 cents for the baseball ticket. On Tuesday, he paid $75 for his seat, and he considered that a good deal.

Some tickets were going for $1,000 and up.

Lindsay LeRoy, 29, and Rob McInturf, 30, were visiting on business from Wilmington, N.C. They bought their tickets on the Internet last week for $10 before the team announced Strasburg would be pitching. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was absolute luck,â&#x20AC;?

McInturf said.

Ticket holders and others hoping to score coveted seats started congregating outside the gates hours before game time.

The stadium is sold out; 2,000 standing room only

come true faster than most for the 22year-old Toews, already the star and captain in just his third NHL season.

Toews, who leads the Blackhawks with 28 points this postseason, drew inspiration from Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship run last season. He saw Sidney Crosby, then only 21, hoist the trophy as the youngest captain to ever win the Stanley Cup. Toews canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat Crosby in the age category. But he could join Crosby and have his name forever etched on hockeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimate prize. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when it really first set in that I felt our team, and myself personally, never felt closer thinking that this is an opportunity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this is something that can really become a reality,â&#x20AC;? Toews said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long year, but I think we all knew all along that we can make it this far.â&#x20AC;?

Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For that month that we all spent together, everyone got really close. Bryce had a great relationship with everybody on the team. I recently saw those guys play again on the 18-U team.

It was a real joy seeing all of those kids again, especially Bryce.â&#x20AC;?

One thing Spivey will remember from the time he spent with Harper in Mexico was how the rookie phenom took batting practice every day in the Olympic villages that the team trained in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He took batting practice every day down in Mexico with a bunch of little kids watching from their

tickets went on sale at 1 p.m for $10 apiece. Hundreds of press credentials have been requested for the game, forcing management to convert a dining area to a makeshift media room. The circumstances are unusual, considering Nationals Park has sold out only one other game this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the season

porches,â&#x20AC;? said Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He put on quite a show every single day for those kids. It was unbelievable.â&#x20AC;?

A lot of buzz has been surrounding Harper since he announced that he was declaring for the draft. Harper and his family have retained agent Scott Boras, who represents several other MLB players and also represents Nationals rookie Steven Strasburg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is just way more mature than a 17-year-old should be,â&#x20AC;? said Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all the praise and spotlight heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handled it all very well. I know that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a very good

opener.

Tom McGuire, 47, of Arlington, Va., bought three tickets last week for $38 each and pulled his sons Tommy, 9, and Jimmy, 12, out of school early as a surprise. He originally told them they were headed to a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought that sounded odd,â&#x20AC;? Jimmy said.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve built our business on the referrals of satisfied customers who trust us to provide reliable and honest service at a fair price, every time.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chris Pronger has become poster-ized in the town where Michael Jordan made it an art form with high-flying dunks over helpless defenders.

The Philadelphia Flyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; star defenseman is hardly celebrating his portrayal Tuesday in a Chicago Tribune poster, though. It shows Pronger wearing a skirt beside a bold headline that declares, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chrissy Pronger. Looks like Tarzan, skates like Jane.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read what you guys write, good or bad,â&#x20AC;? Pronger said Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care, to be honest with you. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m worried about playing the game.â&#x20AC;?

Others werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so dismissive of the poster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see that editor out on skates. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take them one-on-one on the ice any day,â&#x20AC;? three-time Olympic medalist Angela Ruggiero told The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They obviously have never seen womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey and are living in the dark ages.â&#x20AC;?

Chicago Tribune sports editor Mike Kellams said in an e-mail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were just having a little fun with a guy who has come to personify all that has gotten under the collective skin of Blackhawks fans. Pronger is talented that way. And we were trying to connect to that emotion in a fun way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up in Indiana and came to hockey as an adult. Ruggiero vs. me on the rink would be no contest. I know that from what she and her team did at the Vancouver Olympics.â&#x20AC;?

Ruggiero will be in Bensenville, Ill., later this month for the Angela Ruggiero Girls Hockey School, but said she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be buying the Chicago Tribune and plans to send an e-mail voicing her displeasure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people are still ignorant,â&#x20AC;? Ruggiero said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our sport doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a lot of exposure, so you have to see us play in the world championships or the Olympics to see what the highest caliber of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey is.â&#x20AC;?

Spivey says that he and Harper keep in contact periodically through e-mail.

BRIDGE HAND

Soldier’s imagination gets a workout while in the gym DEAR ABBY: I am a soldier currently deployed in Iraq. My unit’s mission has ended, but we must remain here for the next two months with no real mission to occupy our time. Because of this, I -- along with other soldiers -spend free time in the gym.

Recently, a female American civilian contractor has started working out at the same time I do.

She’s gorgeous and wears skimpy, provocative clothing while working out. Because I have not seen a female in civilian clothes for many months, I find it hard not to stare.

Is it wrong for me to stare?

Should I confront her and tell her that her clothing distracts me from my workout and makes me feel uncomfortable?

— CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT IN IRAQ

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: The clearer you are about your plans, the easier it will be to get them underway.

Your intent and determination will enable you to make a change that is overdue. Once you start the ball rolling and you have your goals set, don’t look back, slow down or give in to any obstacle that is put in your way.

Your strength and courage will get you to your destination. Your numbers are 7, 9, 18, 25, 31, 36, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will be given some private information unintentionally that can help you make a beneficial career or financial decision. Jump quickly to stabilize your future. Avoid travel or dealing with pushy people.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Emotions will be high and triumphs will be yours if you are persistent in social networking situations. Present your ideas and intentions with confidence. The people you deal with will offer you the chance to alter your lifestyle.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There will be plenty going on behind your back regarding work and what your options are. It will be difficult to get a straight answer but, if you concentrate on your own personal investments, skills and opportunities, you really don’t have much to worry about.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The impression you make if you help someone will lead to a partnership or a chance to work at something that interests you. Take care of a personal responsibility quickly and you will gain respect and popularity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll face opposition if you shirk your responsibilities or you don’t take a pressing problem seriously. To avoid trouble, show a little sympathy and offer help. A personal relationship can influence where you live in the future.

WORD JUMBLE

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): You will have all the right moves and will know exactly what to say in order to get what you want. A contract may need a couple of changes but don’t push for perks that aren’t really necessary. Your attitude will make the difference.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Slow down before you make a mistake. You may think everyone is on the same page as you but it’s apparent that someone is not being totally honest. There is money to be made but you may be required to go it alone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Travel will promote adventure, new ideas and meeting people who can change the way you do and see things. Love is in the stars and a social event or trip will give you greater options in your personal life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Start to make some serious changes at home and to your personal life and you can reach a goal you’ve been striving to acquire a long time.

A serious look at your past and present will help you make professional adjustments.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Love and romance are highlighted, so line up an evening of fun with your current partner. If single, attend activities or events that interest you. Investments, projects or collecting an old debt will lead to greater cash flow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Don’t give in to someone using emotional blackmail. Follow through with your plans but only if they are within your means. Going over budget will cause stress.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Look back and you’ll find an answer to a financial or personal problem you are facing. You should spend a little money on updating your look or on something that will help you do better professionally or spiritually. Love is on the rise.

DEAR CRUEL AND UNUSUAL: You know darn well that it’s wrong to stare. Didn’t your mother tell you that staring is rude? Do not “confront” the woman. Have a gym supervisor talk to her or you might get in trouble for harassment. Or better yet -- change the time of your workout. o DEAR ABBY: My father died six months ago after many years of declining health. He was 87 and had lived a long and rich life.

annual celebration on my father’s birthday at Dad’s favorite Chinese restaurant. This isn’t how I want to honor my father. He was a simple man who liked working “behind the scenes.”

Everyone in our large family showed up at the restaurant, and my mother and brother loved all the attention. I do not want to memorialize my father this way, but not participating will create a rift. Should I stay true to myself and honor Dad in my own quiet way, or fake it and go to this annual shindig that is really about my brother?

DEAR ABBY: After a year together my boyfriend has broken up with me. He’s going through a divorce and says that right now is not a good time for us. I’m confused because he has told me I’m the best thing that ever happened to him.

He wants to keep in touch and says that maybe, down the road when things are different, we can get back together.

My friends and family think he’s using me as a standby so he can live the single life but still have someone waiting on the side. I’m left wondering, does he want to get past his issues or is he just playing games?

The technique your “boyfriend” used is called the “easy letdown.” Don’t count on getting back together “down the road” or you’ll waste more time on a losing proposition. In the future, hook up with a man who’s available and you may have better luck.

ODDS AND ENDS Obama’s speech seems to send student to sleep KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) — As President Barack Obama delivered the commencement speech at a Michigan high school’s graduation ceremony, not everyone was paying rapt attention.

One member of the Kalamazoo Central student choir sitting behind the president had some serious trouble staying awake.

In videos posted online, the boy is seen succumbing to a series of gaping yawns as Obama offers advice on how to succeed in life. Later, the boy’s eyes droop and his head rolls forward until his chin rests on his chest, and it appears he has nodded off.

Only occasionally is the unidentified teen jolted into consciousness as his classmates erupt into cheers and applause for the president.

Obama delivered the school’s commencement because it won the Race to the Top Commencement Challenge competition.

Wash. business offers $1,000 for stolen doormat SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A Washington state business is offering a $1,000 reward to catch a thief who took a doormat worth about $20.

Quite a feet: Oregon man runs 102 miles barefoot TALENT, Ore. (AP) — Todd Ragsdale enjoyed a peppermint mineral foot soak while relaxing at home Monday. It was well deserved after running a worldrecord distance without shoes over the weekend. Between 8 a.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. Sunday, the 41-year-old logged 102 miles barefoot - 413 laps on the South Medford High School track.

Ragsdale made his run in the Relay For Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

The run left Ragsdale’s feet bruised, blistered and swollen, but he said it was well worth it.

Mich. firefighters play MCs for fireworks safety MIDLAND, Mich. (AP) — Straight outta Midland, it’s F.W.A. — or Firefighters With Advice.

Actually, it’s just three central Michigan firefighters who decided to take their usual summer fireworks safety message in a new direction. And that direction is a video that’s found a wider audience on YouTube.

Forgoing hip-hop duds for firefighting garb, Mark Laux, Steve Markowski and Roger Bebeau do their best to drop some safety knowledge for Fireworks Safety Month — designated in June — and in time for the Fourth of July.

Keep trying to reconnect with kids Q: I admit that not seeing my three children after I divorced and moved away didn’t bother me much. But over 20 years have passed and now they’re married and having children, and suddenly I’d love to reconnect with them. But they’re still angry and don’t want anything to do with me. Is this a hopeless situation?

-- M. McD. A: I don’t know whether or not it’s hopeless -- but I do know nothing will change if you don’t at least try to overcome the barriers between you. In their present attitude, your children probably won’t take the first step -- but you should, and I pray you will.

And one reason you should do this, frankly, is because you are largely responsible for their attitude. I don’t know all the facts, of course -- but whatever they were, don’t refuse to face your part in what happened. Instead, try to put yourself in the shoes of three little children who not only had to face the trauma of a divorce, but also suddenly discovered that their father didn’t even care enough about them to stay in contact. Few things are more hurtful than being rejected by someone we thought loved us.

Have you faced this? Have you realized how self-centered and thoughtless your failure to stay in touch was?

Be honest, and let your children know you realize how much you hurt them, and that you need their forgiveness. Even if they refuse, you still need to take this step.

Most of all, my prayer is that you will seek God’s forgiveness and turn your life over to Jesus Christ.

ummertime is underway, regardless of the date that summer officially begins.

Once the days are regularly warm (and humid) and the outdoor concerts have begun, it is summer to me. For the past three years, my sister has generously given me the Country Concert Megaticket for my birthday. Between May and October, we are able to attend seven country concerts together — which equals about six guaranteed hours INSIDE of sisterly See our bonding weekly Dining every few Guide for weeks all local menu summer options long. It is Pages 4-5C perfect in so many ways.

Of course, outdoor country concerts require at least an hour or two of tailgating ahead of time. We could probably qualify as the most laid back tailgaters in the lot, but we have a great time peoplewatching, talking, sipping margaritas and snacking while we get hyped up for the show that is about to begin.

Being that this is a routine activity throughout the summer, I am always on the lookout for new appetizer recipes. Well, this past weekend I wasn’t quite prepared with a recipe. I had to throw something together with what I had in the fridge.

Luckily, avocado is one of Madden’s favorite new foods, so we had plenty of them in stock. I can’t call what I made guacamole, because it is probably the most un-authentic kind out there. I just made it according to my taste buds and the ingredients I had on hand. It turned out pretty tasty, and paired perfectly with the Creamy Jalapeno recipe that my sister made from our favorite website, allrecipes.com.

We’ve really gotten accustomed to cooking on the fly lately and trying

Community gardens crop up all over Lee County

By CINDY HALL

EDITOR’S NOTE The Satellite Garden Project is a joint effort through the N.C. Cooperative Extension in Lee County and 10 local organizations that have chosen to participate in the inaugural program. Funding from this project was provided through a number of grants received by the Lee County 4-H program including United Way of Lee County, Environmental Impact Resource Conservation and Development, and the USDA/ Natural Resource Conservation Service. Each week, The Herald will be highlighting one of the 10 different Satellite Garden sites with a story and photos submitted by a participating member of the garden.

The first profile was submitted by Cindy Hall, Minister of Outreach, from the First Baptist Church Satellite Garden Site.

First Baptist Church

Start by taking a vacant lot, a heavy-duty grader, topsoil, lumber, nails and some fencing. Mix it together with three and four-year-old children, elementary school kids, Boy Scouts, church families, some “Jobseekers,” local homeless people, and senior citizens. Then take some community members from all racial and ethnic backgrounds and throw them into the mix. Add a couple loads of compost, sprinkle in some seeds with a few perfectly timed rain showers, and what do you get? A Com-

munity Garden, of course!

It has been our privilege to participate in the Satellite Garden Project sponsored by the N.C. Cooperative Extension in

Lee County this spring and summer. We have enjoyed turning a vacant lot next to the First Baptist Church

recent article in the News and Observer highlighted the potential for areas in Lee County to be drilled for natural gas. Although allowing natural gas exploration and drilling to occur on your land sounds lucrative, you need to be aware of how natural gas is produced, how it is drilled, and how leasing your land could affect you.

Let me begin by stating that at this point, North Carolina law does not allow horizontal drilling, which is the most efficient method for extracting natural gas. Until the laws change, drilling for natural gas will not continue forward. So, instead of making quick decisions regarding the future of your land, use this time to educate yourself.

Millions of years ago, organic matter (the decomposing remains of plants and animals) built up in thick layers.

As time progressed, these layers became trapped in rock. The subsequent pressure and heat caused some of this material to be transformed into coal, oil, or natural gas. Methane is the main component in this odorless gas.

The creation of natural gas can take millions of years. However, we now have the technology to produce methane from today’s plant and animal waste by using digesters. This technology is still fairly new and expensive for small agricultural operations to implement.

Natural gas is an important form of energy in the United States, accounting for about 25 percent of all the energy used in 2009. Natural gas is used to heat homes, fuel appliances, and is important for certain industrial processes.

Often, natural gas lies deep below the soil surface. Geologists and other specialists use seismic data to determine if there is efficient access to the natural gas resource below. To extract the natural gas, a well is drilled verti-

HEALTH MATTERS

Red Cross wants you to save a life by giving blood

By ABBY CAMERON Community Services Coordinator, American Red Cross-Triangle Area Chapter

O

n June 14, 2010, we will celebrate World Blood Donor Day. Millions of people owe their lives to people they will never meet — people who donate their blood freely and without any reward. However, the overwhelming majority of the world’s population does not have access to safe blood.

Over 80 million units of blood are donated every year, but only 38 percent are collected in developing countries where 82 percent of the global population lives.

Here in the United States, however, we are fortunate to have organizations such as the American Red Cross who strive on a daily basis to provide a safe and plentiful blood supply. With this in mind, I wanted to share with you on World Blood Donor Day, some

basic information on giving blood in our local community.

Through donating blood, we provide life saving components such as plasma, platelets, and red blood cells. Blood components are used everyday to battle many health issues that we all face. Blood is needed routinely during heart surgeries, by those who receive chemotherapy and radiation treatments as their body’s ability to produce its own blood is diminished, and

in many life-saving emergencies. Others who need blood include accident victims, women during and after childbirth, and general everyday surgeries.

I am often asked questions about the process of giving blood and how the donated blood is used. Consequently, I have put together a short list of questions and answers to share with you:

Bentley melds bluegrass, country Raleigh authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take on angels living among us

By MICHAEL McCALL For The Associated Press

Dierks Bentley, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Up on the Ridgeâ&#x20AC;? (Capitol Nashville)

Bluegrass has always been an influence on Dierks Bentleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contemporary country sound, usually in subtle ways, except on the occasions he would recruit the Del McCoury Band to support him for an album cut. On â&#x20AC;&#x153;Up On The Ridge,â&#x20AC;? though, Bentley makes his love for acoustic-mountain music more pronounced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Up On The Ridgeâ&#x20AC;? isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an all-out bluegrass

Events Continued from Page 1C 9 p.m. The cost is $5 per person (and food to share at intermission). Ages 50+ (couples and singles) and younger guests welcome!

Third St. This alcohol- and smoke-free event features live entertainment and good fellowship.

Selected works will be screened at the ADFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 Dancing for the Camera Festival, scheduled to take place from June 25 to June 27 at Duke Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s White Lecture Hall and the Nasher Museum of Art. Showcasing the best of fusions between cinematographic skill and choreographic vision, Dancing for the Camera features both juried and curated works of dance designed specifically for the camera.

bluegrass lineups, including the New Yorkbased Punch Brothers.

The expert playing gives the songs a visceral punch that works well with Bentleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songwriting and distinctive vocal style.

An accomplished songwriter, Bentley co-writes several of the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best songs, including the hit title tune.

But he also stretches in his song choices, taking on Bob Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Senor (Tales Of Yankee Power),â&#x20AC;?

Kris Kritoffersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bottle To The Bottomâ&#x20AC;? (which features a cameo by Kristofferson) and U2â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pride (In The Name Of

Love),â&#x20AC;? all of which he makes work for him.

While Bentley touts the album as a departure, it succeeds so well that letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope he climbs back up this ridge again.

CHECK OUT THIS TRACK: On â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bad Angel,â&#x20AC;? one of the album cuts that drift deeply into traditional bluegrass territory, Bentley invites fellow travelers Jamey Johnson and Miranda Lambert to join him in three-part harmony and in trading lead vocals.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wonders Never Cease.â&#x20AC;? (Thomas Nelson, 2010, 303 pages. $14.99.

By Tim Downs.)

T

hroughout the centuries angels have come to mean many things to many people. From brief descriptions in the Bible to cheesy portrayals in books and movies, people have preconceived notions of what angels are and what they look like, as well as why they might be here on earth, with us.

While there have been numerous accounts of angel sightings or of miraculous interventions in which an angel might have had a hand, we can all be pretty skeptical when it comes to believing those stories, and many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe that angels exist at all.

Tim Downs, a bestselling author and resident of Raleigh, creates a world in which not only do angels exist, but one in which they are also seen and heard by unassuming people in some of the most unexpected places.

Set in Los Angeles, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wonders Never Ceaseâ&#x20AC;? begins with Leah Pelton, a six-year-old who claims to see angels, and whose stories throw the people around her into a whirlwind of skepticism and new faith, and prompt a devious plot designed to make millions of dollars and deceive thousands of people.

Through the stories of a single young mother who struggles to make ends meet, a middleaged Hollywood actress who resents her recent move from the spotlight, a disgruntled former medical student who wants to make some money, and a precocious little girl, Downs explores what could happen when people choose to believe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or disbelieve â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the seemingly impossible, and how those choices could have lasting consequences.

One major impression that this book left with me is how much of what

happens to us is determined by our choices and what we do with opportunities that come our way. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wonders Never Cease,â&#x20AC;? Downsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s characters all react to Leahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims in different ways; some choose to let the possibility of angels become a catalyst for soul searching and new faith, and others turn it into an opportunity for profit and exploitation.

No matter how far the characters have come or fallen by the end of the novel, they all began with the same opportunities.

I have personally never seen an angel or experienced any kind of miraculous healing or intervention, but I believe that they both exist.

Perhaps their presence on earth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real life experiences, in books, or in our mere wrestling with their existence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is an example of another opportunity. We can let them be cause for skepticism and disbelief, we can mock them and use them to our advantage, or we can see them as messages of hope, tests of faith, and representations of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand at work on earth, which is what I believe they are.

Either way, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to us; how we choose to accept or reject opportunities determines what affects they will have on our lives. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just about believing in the possibility of something greater than ourselves. That alone can do wonders, and open the doors for opportunities we never saw coming.

OIL SPILL

COOKING ON DEADLINE

Fundraiser puts Gulf seafood on the menu

By MICHELLE LOCKE For The Associated Press

BERKELEY, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Eat a shrimp, support a Gulf of Mexico fisherman. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thinking behind the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dine Out for the Gulf Coastâ&#x20AC;? campaign in which restaurants across the country will be putting a little fish philanthropy on the menu.

During the event, scheduled for June 10-12, participating restaurants will be donating to the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund.

Restaurants that are able to, also will feature seafood from the Gulf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good that we establish a conversation on the meaning of something like this,â&#x20AC;? says chef and restaurateur Jose Andres, who is participating in the event at all his restaurants, including The Bazaar in Los Angeles and Jaleo in Washington.

The campaign was started by Jimmy Galle, founder of Gulfish LP, a small company based in Sausalito that supplies Gulf seafood to restaurants in Northern California.

Galle, a native of Texas, said he â&#x20AC;&#x153;felt compelled to do something.

I spent my summers on those coastal shores. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very personal.â&#x20AC;?

Details of the campaign are still being worked out. Some restaurants will donate a portion of overall profits; others will donate based on sales of specific dishes or cocktails. And since fresh seafood supplies fluctuate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not all the participating restaurants specialize in seafood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear how many will be serving food from the Gulf.

The point, says Galle, is to support the industry and let diners know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to eat Gulf seafood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those guys are facing so much turmoil and such an uncertain future,â&#x20AC;? he said of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seafood industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the consumer turns away from consumption of Gulf seafood, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like a final nail in the coffin.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear what the oil spill, which began following an April 20 oil rig explosion that also killed 11 workers, will mean

Jimmy Galle, founder of Gulfish LP, sorts through some Wild Louisiana Shrimp caught on the Gulf coast. Galle has started the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dine out for the Gulf Coastâ&#x20AC;? campaign in which participating restaurants will be donating to the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund. Restaurants that are able to, also will feature seafood from the Gulf.

By JIM ROMANOFF for the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fishing industry or for the restaurant industry that relies on it.

Commercial fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico caught more than 1 billion pounds of seafood in 2008 for about $659 million in revenue, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Many estimates put the Gulf Coast as supplying one-fifth of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commercial fish and shellfish.

Since the spill, about one-third of the Gulf waters have been closed to fishing.

A key concern is whether fish become contaminated by crude oil. Government officials say rigorous inspections mean itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been safer to eat Gulf seafood.

At Chez Panisse, the renowned Berkeley restaurant founded by Alice Waters, Cal Peternell is still thinking about what to serve during the fundraising event.

The restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu changes daily and it will depend on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available, but possibilities include shrimp roasted whole in a wood-oven or perhaps a classic variation on shrimp and grits, a Southern dish, using soft polenta with fresh corn kernels and shrimp sauteed with onion, peppers and celery.

Supporting local, sustainable food producers is a big part of the Chez Panisse ethic, says Peternell, chef of the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upstairs

cafe. Waters also has a close tie to the area, having founded one of her Edible Schoolyards in New Orleans.

Peternell might be worried about buying fish from the Gulf these days if he werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t using a trusted supplier, Galle, who is keeping customers informed about closures and sending maps showing which fishing grounds produced the fish being sold.

Galle says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;still seeing beautiful product on a daily basis.â&#x20AC;? He hopes consumers and restaurants will continue to support the industry beyond the June campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all hardworking fishermen and they just want to keep living the life that they love. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about fishing. That whole coast is their social fabric,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where they work, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they eat, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where they live, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where they play. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like their family jewel that they really hold very dearly and want to pass on to future generations.â&#x20AC;?

The Greater New Orleans Foundation created the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund to help the communities hit hardest by the spill. It also is meant to help strengthen coastal communities against future environmental catastrophes. It is estimated that there are 6,400 licensed commercial fishermen in the region that could be affected by the spill.

Flank steak may not be the most tender cut of meat youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever eat, but it could be the tastiest. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often a good bargain.

The flank is a long, flat and fibrous muscle, so it needs to be either seared and served moderately rare or braised until tender. Either way, carving this steak into thin slices across the grain at a 45 degree angle makes for a more pleasant bite.

The flank is thin and boneless (with almost no waste), so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect candidate for marinades, which will penetrate well.

This ginger-soy marinated flank steak can be grilled and enjoyed on its own or turned into this Asian-inspired sandwich by surrounding it with crunchy toasts, sweet and spicy mayo and a generous handful of peppery, fresh watercress.

Marinate the steak in the morning for a quick and delicious supper from the grill.

GINGER-SOY MARINATED FLANK STEAK SANDWICHES Start to finish: 30 minutes (plus 2 to 24 hours marinating time) Servings: 4 For the marinade: 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 2 tablespoons light brown sugar 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce 2 tablespoons canola oil 1/4 cup grated fresh ginger 2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce, or more to taste 4 scallions, ends trimmed and thinly sliced 1 1/4 pounds flank steak For the sandwich spread: 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise 1 tablespoon honey 2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce For the sandwiches: Eight 3/4-inch-thick slices crusty country-style bread 1 tablespoon extra-virgin oil 3 cups loosely packed watercress or arugula In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, brown sugar and soy sauce until the sugar is dissolved.

Whisk in the oil, ginger, chiligarlic sauce and scallions.

Place the steak in a shallow glass dish. Add the

marinade and turn to coat the meat well on both sides.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours, turning once.

Heat a gas grill to mediumhigh or light a charcoal fire.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, honey and chiligarlic sauce. Set aside.

Brush both sides of the bread slices lightly with olive oil.

Grill the steak until the underside is well browned, about 5 minutes. Turn the steak over and grill about 4 minutes longer for mediumrare. While the steak is grilling, place the bread slices around it to toast, about 1 minute per side.

Let the steak stand for 5 minutes, then cut it across the grain into thin slices.

Spread a thin layer of the chili-garlic mayonnaise on each toasted bread slice.

Arrange the steak over 4 of the slices. Top with watercress or arugula and the remaining bread slices.

How what you think you know may be making you fat

o you think you can really trust your gut instincts about dieting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that you know which foods are healthy and which are not? That you can even remember what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve eaten in a day? Two psychology professors, Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, would beg to differ, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve outlined their theories about perception, memory, and faulty thinking in a new book called The Invisible Gorilla (Crown, May 18, 2010). I e-mailed Chabris, an assistant professor of psychology at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y., and Simons, a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois, trying to find out how their theories relate to dieting. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they said: Faulty thinking may be making you fat!

Diet Detective: What do you think it is about a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts, beliefs and intuition that might be making them fat?

cally for thousands of feet. Then using special joints, the shaft is turned 90 degrees and drilling continues horizontally.

This allows companies to extract more gas in a cost-effective manner.

Private landowners usually own the right to explore and extract the natural gas under their property. In some cases, mineral rights have been sold or transferred to another party. You can check the deed on your property for this information.

If a gas company is interested in exploring or drilling on your land, you will be asked to sign a lease. Be aware that a gas lease is a legal and binding document. Since this document will affect you and your land, you should have it reviewed by a lawyer with special knowledge in oil and gas law.

your theory might apply to people who are attempting to change their eating habits or begin a diet?

Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons: The automatic processes that control much of our behavior are â&#x20AC;&#x153;opaque,â&#x20AC;? meaning that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use our mind to figure out what they are doing and how they are doing it. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop us from trying to figure out how they work, and that leads us to faulty conclusions about our own mind.

Take, for example, what we call â&#x20AC;&#x153;the illusion of memory.â&#x20AC;? When we effortlessly recall an event in vivid detail, we mistakenly assume that our memory is complete and accurate. Often, though, our memories are far from accurate even when it feels like we can replay them in our mind. This is why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea, when you are trying to lose weight, to write down everything you eat.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important to realize that concrete goals are better than abstract ones. Our mind can handle abstract information, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as easy to deal with as concrete information, and when you are trying to lose weight, you should do everything you can to make the process a comfortable one for your mind. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just say you will become healthier;

tend to live in the here and now. Reflective processes are slower, more analytical, based on logic, and often involve planning for the future or recalling the past.

When eating, people often have conflicting goals: satisfying immediate desires and anticipating the consequences of what they eat for their future weight and health.

Our modern environment is not well-suited to maintaining a balance between those goals, because it is easier than ever before to acquire tasty calories in high volume. The automatic system is â&#x20AC;&#x153;turned onâ&#x20AC;? by all these options, and it is difficult to override our desire to eat something right now based on the reasoning that we will regret it later.

into a beautiful, growing garden. We have been amazed at the generous contributions to this garden, all the way from educational gardening workshops, preparing the soil, building raised beds, to planting and now harvesting.

n What are the components of blood and their use?

The primary components of whole blood are red blood cells, platelets and plasma. Some examples of how whole blood is used are during open heart surgeries and for newborn babies. The main uses of red blood cells are for traumas, anemia and general surgeries. Platelets are used in cancer patients

say you will lose weight.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just say you will lose weight; say exactly how many pounds. And then translate that into a set number of calories, â&#x20AC;&#x153;pointsâ&#x20AC;? or whatever per day or week. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a concrete goal that you can record your progress towards and get constant feedback on, uncontaminated by the illusion of memory. Chris used this approach and actually lost 53 pounds without doing any serious exercise.

Diet Detective: Your book discusses several â&#x20AC;&#x153;everyday illusionsâ&#x20AC;? that â&#x20AC;&#x153;profoundly influence our everyday lives.â&#x20AC;?

How do some of these illusions help or hurt a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to lose weight and maintain the loss?

Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons: Attention: The illusion of attention tells us that we are better at paying attention and noticing important things around us than we really are. We also tend to think that doing tasks well requires less focused effort than it does. People may not realize how hard it is to stick to a diet over the long term. It requires more mental effort than we usually expend in our everyday lives, and we tend to underestimate how much effort we will

participants take turns sharing the daily garden responsibilities. We even harvested our first crop (lettuce) and donated it to the Bread Basket this past week!

This Satellite Community Garden Project is a wonderful way to get people from the community working together.

Our goal is to have enough harvest to give most of the produce away to those who need help in this economy. However, the best reward is the new friendships we make as we work side by side in our garden. We hope to continue this project in the years to come! receiving chemotherapy and plasma can be used for burn patients. n Is donating blood safe?

Donating blood is a safe process. Needles and bags used to collect blood are used only once and then discarded, making the spread of infection to the donor not possible. n How long does it take to donate blood?

need to accomplish our goals. Confidence: We tend to think that confident people are more skilled, knowledgeable, and competent than they really are. This is true of the diet gurus we see on TV. We are too easily seduced by their confident sales pitch (â&#x20AC;&#x153;con manâ&#x20AC;? is short for â&#x20AC;&#x153;confidence manâ&#x20AC;?), and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think critically enough about what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re selling.

Potential: The illusion of potential is the mistaken belief that we all have vast reserves of potential that are easy to unlock.

A corollary is that it is simple to achieve great change in your life.

Miracle diets tap directly into this belief. Slowly losing weight by making long-term lifestyle changes is much less appealing than an immediate â&#x20AC;&#x153;cleanseâ&#x20AC;? that will work wonders in a few days or weeks.

Diet Detective: Towards the end of the book, you write about â&#x20AC;&#x153;the real way to unlock your potential.â&#x20AC;? How might you apply this concept to healthy living?

Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons: The best advice we can give is to recognize that your own mind might deceive you into doing things you will regret later. If you make your goals concrete, keep track of

everything you eat, and recognize that losing weight takes time and effort, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be more likely to succeed. Setting a daily calorie budget and tracking everything you eat is a great way to start, and it might prove to be all you need to fend off the automatic processes that lead to weight gain.

Now a couple of personal questions.

Diet Detective: What would you choose for your last meal?

Christopher Chabris: There are so many things. But I would probably take one regular slice, one Sicilian tomato-basil slice, and one sausage, pepper, and onion sub from Pinocchioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza in Harvard Square.

Daniel Simons: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d skip the meal and go for some chocolate fudge brownie ice cream.

Diet Detective: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your favorite â&#x20AC;&#x153;junk food?â&#x20AC;?

Christopher Chabris: I like them all, but lately I seem to have a weakness for gummy worms.

Not gummy bears. Just gummy worms.

Daniel Simons: I have a weakness for chocolate Teddy Grahams.

a mini-physical. The actual donation usually takes less than 10-12 minutes. Following the donation, you will be asked to spend a few minutes in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;canteenâ&#x20AC;? where you will have light refreshments before returning to your normal activities. n How often can one give blood?

Regulations in the United States allow people to donate whole blood once every 56 days. n What happens to donated blood?

Typically, each donated unit of blood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; referred to as whole blood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is separated into multiple components, such as red blood cells, plasma and platelets.

Each component can be transfused to different individuals with different needs. Therefore, each donation may be used to help save as many as three lives.

n How do I know if I am eligible to donate blood?

You must be in good health, be at least 17 years of age (16 with parental consent), and weigh at least 110 pounds. You will also need to pass a physical and health history reviews prior to donating. There is no upper age limit on your ability to donate. Conditions that require a temporary deferral are pregnancy, travel to certain parts of the world, inoculations, some health conditions and certain medications. The final eligibility is determined by medical professionals at the time of donation.

DEAR HELEN: Everyone with high blood pressure (140/90 or higher) or prehypertension (between 120/80 and 139/89) should have a home blood pressure monitor!

Home monitoring can help you keep tabs on your blood pressure in a comfortable setting. Plus, if you’re taking medication it will make certain it’s working, and alert you to a health problem if it arises. But with all the styles and options available today, selecting one can be confusing. Here are some tips to help you choose.

Types of monitors While there are various types blood pressure monitors on the market (manual monitors, automatic and semiautomatic upper arm monitors, wrist monitors, and finger monitors) the most popular option that’s also recommended by the American Heart Association is an automatic

monitor for the upper arm. The reason? They’re reliable and simple to use.

With an automatic arm monitor, you simply wrap the cuff around your bicep, and with the push of one button the cuff inflates and deflates automatically giving you your blood pressure reading on the display window in a matter of seconds. Semiautomatic models work the same way, except you inflate the cuff manually by squeezing a rubber bulb.

Manual blood pressure monitors on the other hand aren’t nearly as popular because they require you to check your own blood pressure with a stethoscope which is difficult for most folks. And wrist and finger monitors are not recommended because they’re not consid-

To help you choose a good monitor that meets your needs, here are several things you need to check into: n Cuff size: If you’re opting for an arm monitor, make sure it has a cuff that fits your bicep. Blood pressure readings will be wrong if your cuff is the wrong size. n Accuracy: Check the packaging to make sure the monitor has been independently tested and validated for accuracy and reliability by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation or the British Hypertension Society. Many monitors on the market are not, and their readings may not be reliable. A list of validated monitors is available at the British Hypertension Society’s Web site at www.bhsoc.org. n Display: Be sure you can read the numbers on the display comfortably.

Most automatic models offer extra-large digital displays and some even have voice-announced readings. n Extra features: Depending on your wants and needs, many automatic arm monitors come with a variety of additional features such as a built-in pulse (heart rate) measurement, irregular heartbeat detection,

memory to store previous readings and computer connections so you can download the data to your computer. n Portability: If you plan to take your monitor with you while traveling, look for one with a carrying case.

Where to shop While there are many companies that make and sell automatic blood pressure monitors, the leading supplier in the industry and the one most often recommended by Consumer Reports is Omron (omronhealthcare.com, 877-216-1333). Other top makers include LifeSource, ReliOn, Microlife, HoMedics, Proton and Lumiscope. You can find these and other monitors at most pharmacies, medical supply stores or online at prices ranging from $30 to over $100, and you don’t need a prescription to buy one.

Savvy tips After you buy a monitor, it’s a good idea to take it to your doctor’s office so they can check its accuracy as well as teach you the proper techniques of how and when to use it.
