School’s first Latino valedictorian delivers speech before hundreds

By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — The Southern Lee High School senior class gathered together for the last time on Thursday for graduation, marking the end of high school and the beginning of new opportunities.

About 230 students walked across the stage on the Southern Lee football field to receive their diplomas. But for one student in particular, the ceremony had special significance.

With a GPA of about 4.7, Luis Velarde became Southern Lee's first Latino valedictorian.

Though he is proud of his accomplishments, Velarde said

SANFORD — A man who once ran a Lee County company has been banned from performing any paving work in the state by a Wake County judge.

Tommy Edward Clack, owner of Lee County Asphalt, received the ban this week following a long history of scamming state residents on driveway paving work, said N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper’s office.

Hoping new hires bring stability to SLHS

I

t’s becoming an annual tradition.

For each of the past three summers, the Lee County Board of Education has had to approve a new football coach at Southern Lee High School. The school’s baseball program has been a little more stable, with three different coaches in the six-year lifespan of the school, although its most recent leader, Matt Burnett, was in place for four seasons.

On Tuesday, both programs got new leaders when the school board announced it had hired Tom Paris to lead the Cavaliers on the gridiron and Lee County High School alum David Miller

as coach of the baseball team.

To be fair, both new coaches come in with impressive credentials.

Paris is a 19-year coaching veteran who has spent time on the sidelines at some of the state’s top programs, including Richmond County and Scotland County. Miller is a former minor league baseball player who will take over at Southern Lee after nine seasons as the head coach at Chapel Hill High School.

We aren’t questioning the hires. Based on resumes alone, both look to be capable of leading our young men on their respective fields.

What we would like to see,

though, is a little more stability for athletics at Southern Lee in general.

High school sports aren’t just about winning and losing. That’s a big part of any sporting event, but coaches are also charged with shaping our youngsters into men and women. Building the relationships that make that goal possible takes time — something the leadership at Southern hasn’t given its coaches so far.

Why are our young studentathletes going to listen to anything a coach tells them if they are skeptical about that coach’s abilities and knowledge? Our young athletes need stability

in order to grow as people, and annual changes are not serving them well.

Parents make a big deal out of teacher turnover because it hurts student performance.

Coaching turnover is no different.

Winning will come only when stability is in place. Look at coaching greats Mike Krzyzewski, Dean Smith and John Wooden. Other than gaudy records and national title banners, what do they all have in common? Longevity.

Smith’s first team had a losing record and he was famously hung in effigy after a loss in 1965 at UNC. Coach K’s first

team at Duke went 17-13, and his second and third teams had losing records. John Wooden coached 19 years before leading UCLA to a title (he subsequently won 10).

Today, Wooden is considered the greatest coach ever, and both Smith and Coach K are in that conversation as well. And moreso than just on the court, they all have a wealth of former players who are now better men having played for them.

Just imagine if they had been canned in their early years.

Good luck to both Miller and Paris — both are going to need it. That, and a chance to do their jobs.

Letters to the Editor One person’s ‘attack’ is another person’s ‘passion’ To the Editor:

Scott Mooneyham Today in North Carolina Scott Mooneyham is a columnist with Capitol Press Association

Collective bargaining

P

erhaps Harry Reid may think better of the idea.

Or, maybe not.

In late April , the leader of the U.S. Senate re-introduced a bill that would force states to negotiate with unions for police, firefighters and other emergency workers.

The move prompted a flurry of activity from business and municipal government folks back in North Carolina who consider this sort of thing akin to spitting in apple pie and slapping your mama.

North Carolina is one of just two states that specifically bans collective bargaining by state and local government workers. About 32,000 government employees in the state would be affected by the federal legislation.

More importantly, removing the roadblock for union negotiation with one group of public employees would surely lead to calls for lifting the ban for all. The first slip on the slope would have happened.

So these business groups and local governments, which formed something called the Coalition for North Carolina Jobs back in 2006, rolled out a radio ad to try to hold Democratic North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan to her word.

The radio ad actually used Hagan’s words during her 2008 campaign in which she said she would never do anything to undermine the ability of states to determine whether they will allow public employee collective bargaining.

The coalition fears that North Carolina’s ban on public employee collective bargaining is more threatened than ever.

The federal legislation, though, predates Hagan’s time in the U.S. Senate.

Similar bills have been filed for nearly a decade without success, with both Democratic and Republican sponsors. ... Local government officials worry that if the legislation becomes law, it would be mean greater payroll costs.

That could mean higher taxes.

Business groups simply don’t want to see North Carolina become more unionfriendly, not in a state that has had strong right-to-work laws and traditionally been suspicious of unions.

Hagan, in stating her opposition, put her finger on a bigger problem: Why does the federal government have an interest in dictating that states negotiate with their employees? ...

Through executive orders signed by former Gov. Mike Easley and current Gov. Beverly Perdue, groups representing state workers now have the right to at least be consulted as budgets with salaries and benefits are put together. Those rights of consultation stop far short of collective bargaining ...

Business groups and local government may not be happy with the executive orders, but they reflect the times.

North Carolina’s populace, with its influx of transplants more comfortable with unions, is not as hostile toward organized labor as it once was. National control of politics and political parties also has caused Democrats here to increasingly look to labor as an ally, just as they do in other states.

Those trends, though, are quite different than mandates from Washington.

Deteriorating image S

AN DIEGO — Several weeks ago, after a column critical of President Obama, a woman wrote to say that she agreed with me. Then she said something I certainly did not agree with, bemoaning the fact that, thanks to Obama, her grandchildren would grow up with a “different image of what a president looks like” than the one she had a child.

Today’s Prayer

Re: Letter from Shannon Gurwitch in Tuesday’s Herald Ms. Gurwitch states that I was out of line in my comments about the Board of Education member and out of context. She is wrong.

I had stated earlier in the meeting before she arrived that we needed to have the guts to stop and say “no” to the state about where the money should be spent ... that for once we should stand up and say we need to fund this and not that.

Just stop the mandates. Can we use the money to take care of the basic needs, like teachers in the classroom? And if all 100 counties would do this, we could make serious change in how our educational tax dollars are spent.

I also said that unfortunately there are no elected officials with the guts to do that.

Case in point — Mr. BOE member is the one who stated taking money from the state level meant that it didn’t come out of the local budget. I was stunned. I asked him, you were there Ms. Gurwitch, to explain to me why. His fear of the other county getting the money wasn’t good enough. Let them have it. We have more pressing issues.

And of course, Ms. Gurwitch also didn’t mention in her response that I told him it was my responsibility to take care of my child, not the BOE’s or any other government entity. Get out of my back pocket with the frivolous spending, and I could buy a laptop for my child myself.

You might call that “an attack,” Ms. Gurwitch. I call it passion — passion to stand up and demand fiscal responsibility and that our elected officials govern by the oaths they take.

I back my words: Our leaders are so blind to the fact that it is the taxpayers’ money and not theirs to spend. Just pick up the last week of papers and article after article shows the disregard for us.

Government has no money unless it comes from me.

I will call our leaders out whenever I believe they are not governing the way I see fit, or heaven forbid, the way the Constitution was intended. Hint: If you read the Constitution, you’ll see the brilliance of the Founding Fathers. They did their absolute best to prevent what we’re experiencing today. But sadly, they knew we would.

The lackadaisical attitude of the Republican party has help to put our country in the mess it is in.

The spending spree that occurred under President Bush should have been an eye-opener, but it wasn’t.

Now our deficit is so large that we’ll probably never get out from under it.

OBITUARIES

Commissioner defends position on government funding for HAVEN

By LINDA SHOOK Lee County Commissioner Lee County GOP Chairman

F

rom a humanitarian standpoint, I believe in protecting victims first. That is why, personally, I support HAVEN. I have contributed via in-kind contributions of furniture, dishes, cooking utensils, and clothing to their thrift store. When the perpetrator of the abuse is arrested, it is law enforcement’s job to determine citizenship. As a county commissioner, however, I take my responsibilities very seriously when it comes to spending the hard-earned dollars of the county’s taxpayers.

Non-profits should look first to utilizing existing funds available to them before requesting additional taxpayer funds. In the case of HAVEN, there was a total of $14,700 available in the Lee County DSS earmarked for TANF Domestic Violence services.

Of that total, only $7,929 was invoiced by HAVEN to DSS. In other words, there was $6,771 that was not accessed.

This is money that will revert back to the State. It is possible the State will reallocate these funds to another county in the next fiscal year. These funds could have been used for shelter, crisis counseling, support group expenditures, victim assistance, court advocacy, legal services, education and job training assistance and transportation.

Eligibility for these funds is not stringent. It requires that the applicant either has a family with children who is eligible for the Work First program OR that the family with children falls at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines and meets citizenship requirements.

These requirements were set in a formal Family Domestic Violence Plan dated 9/24/09 signed by the Lee County Director of Social Services and the Executive Director of HAVEN. This did represent a policy change from the way HAVEN had secured funds in the past, wherein they simply submitted an invoice for shelter.

The daily allotment for shelter is $50 per person, so for a family of four, this would equate to $200 per day. Prior to this change in DSS policy, HAVEN could simply invoice for 30 days of shelter. For a family of four, the invoice would be $6,000. In order for DSS to serve more families, a cap of $1,000 per family per year was put in place for shelter. For $6,000, perhaps a house could have been rented for a much

longer period of time than 30 days?

The 2008-2009 Domestic Violence Statistics available on the N.C. Council for Women/Domestic Violence Commission shows that Lee County had 777 domestic violence clients. That is further broken down by race — 213 white; 299 black; and 225 hispanic.

Lee County’s percentage of hispanic domestic violence victims was 29 percent. Statewide, Hispanic clients represented 9 percent of total domestic violence clients. It is also interesting to note that of the 777 domestic violence clients, 80 of them were males.

Another concern of mine in HAVEN’s funding request was in the details of how they were going to use the funds requested.

In their application, they stated “HAVEN also expects to expand its presence in the Latino population and increase the number of clients in this demographic group by utilizing translators available 24 hours a day”.

I strongly believe that taxpayer dollars should be used for services of those who are legal citizens or residents.

It is my feeling that services provided for illegal residents should be funded from private citizens or the faith based community of churches and charities. HAVEN further describes they will use County funds to provide services so that their victims “become competent, healthy, fully functioning individuals who could once again contribute to our community in a positive way.” This is a worthy goal, and I have no doubt they have success stories in this regard.

However, a question that needs to be answered is how an illegal parent will become self sufficient if under current federal law they are not allowed to work because they are in this country illegally.

The HAVEN application for county funds stated next year’s salaries and benefits at $402,278.

This is not an insignificant amount for a non-profit agency. Taxpayers who fund HAVEN through local, state, and federal tax dollars need to know how their tax dollars are being spent.

Final Notification of a Finding of No Practicable Alternative to Historic Property Impact The USDA, Rural Development is considering an application for financial assistance sponsored by Chatham County. The specific elements of this proposed action are construction of a new Judicial Center Building. A specific element of this proposed action is to move three houses which are in excess of 50 years old and are located within the boundaries of the Pittsboro Historic district and are potentially eligible for inclusion or are included on the National Register of Historic Places. These houses are on the proposed site along East Chatham Street south of the existing Chatham County Government Services Building. The County is seeking a suitable site for the houses and is working with the Chatham County Historical Association and the State Historical Preservation Office to identify potential sites.

Potential impacts will be minimized by requiring Chatham County to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Officer and Rural Development to ensure that the houses are relocated in a method to satisfy the Secretary of Interior’s standards and SHPO requirements. Adherence to the agreement will be a part of the letter of conditions for Rural Development financing.

The basis of this determination is summarized as follows: There was no practicable alternative to moving the house as there was no alternative site available that would meet the needs of the County’s proposed construction of the Judicial Center Building without moving the proposes project to a site out of the downtown area.

Any written comments regarding this determination should be provided within fifteen (15) days of this publication to Garland Burnette, Area Manager, USDA Rural Development, 2736 NC Highway 210, Smithfield, North Carolina 27577. USDA-Rural Development will make no further decisions regarding this proposed action during this fifteen-day period. Request to receive a copy of, or to review the USDA-Rural Development environmental assessment upon which this determination is based, should be directed to Garland Burnette, Area Manager, at the address above or by phone at 919-934-7156 Ext. 4.

Natural gas seminar set for June 16

SANFORD —The Lee County Cooperative Extension will be hosting the workshop “Natural Gas Exploration: What You Need to Know�, with guest speakers Jim Simon, Dr. Jeff Reid, and Dr. Kenneth Taylor with the NC Geological Survey, and Ted Feitshans, NCSU Extension Specialist in the Agricultural and Resource Economics Department.

This is the only workshop on natural gas that will be hosted by Cooperative Extension in June. The program will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. June 16, at the McSwain Center. The class is free, however pre-registration is required. Please call 775-5624 to register.

As North Carolina searches for alternative energy sources, the discovery of natural gas deposits in parts of Lee County could help supply the state’s energy needs, according to some experts.

Gas exploration companies have stirred up excitement in the community with promises of easy money.

However, before a lease is signed, experts suggest signers learn more about natural gas, its extraction and protecting their interests. — from staff reports

Fox attacks boy in Aberdeen

ABERDEEN (MCT) — Officials hope to learn today whether a fox that attacked a boy in Aberdeen on Tuesday was rabid. “We should have results this afternoon,� said Jim Foster, deputy chief of the Aberdeen Police Depart-

ment.

The findings from the state lab in Raleigh will go to Moore County Animal Control, Foster said.

The attack was reported about 3:40 p.m. on the 100 block of Midway Road near Sycamore Street, Foster said. The boy, who has been identified as 11year-old Talon Thomas, was walking when the fox tried to bite him. “It bit him on the pants leg,� Foster said. “He didn’t break the skin.�

Thomas managed to grab the fox and was holding it by its throat and crying when a man driving a truck passed by, Foster said. “He thought the child’s dog might have been hit ... but then realized the child may have been bitten,�

Foster said.

The man backed his truck over the fox’s tail to contain it until police and Animal Control workers arrived, Foster said.

When police arrived, they freed the fox and shot it, Foster said. The fox was put into a bag and turned over to Animal Control, he said.

Paramedics were called and determined Thomas had no broken skin, Foster said.

Randolph Thomas, the boy’s father, came to the scene, Foster said.

It was the second incident this week in that area, Foster said. Another man reported being attack by a fox on Monday, but details were not available.

N.C. Cooperative Extension Service in Chatham County, has been named the director of the county’s extension program.

Dr. Joe Zublena, interim director of N.C. Cooperative Extension at N.C. State University, joined Chatham County in announcing Groce’s appointment at the Board of Commissioners meeting this week. Groce succeeds Glenn Woolard, who retired last year after 32 years of service.

Groce, from Siler City, joined extension in 1993 as an associate agent in Chatham County. Since 1997, Groce served as a county agricultural agent, providing educational programs on livestock and forages as well as farm business management, field crops, aquaculture and pesticide education.

As an agriculture agent, Groce coordinated efforts to organize a county agriculture advisory board and worked with that board to develop a county Voluntary Agriculture District ordinance.

In 2010, he received the Distinguished Service Award from both the state and national associations of County Agriculture Agents. — from staff reports

Board halts occupancy tax hike From staff reports PITTSBORO — The Chatham County Board of Commissioners this week voted not to proceed with the increase in the lodging occupancy tax from 3 to 6 percent that had been proposed as part of the County Manager’s budget recommendation for fiscal year 2010-11. “The commissioners received valuable feedback from lodging owners and other concerned resi-

never the type of student to take AP classes just to raise my GPA. I took classes I was interested in.�

Paola Gensollen, Velarde’s mother and a special education teacher at Southern Lee, said she has high hopes for her son as he moves onto UNC-Chapel Hill next year, where he will study pharmacy. “He has always had high expectations,� Gensollen said. “He wants to reach them, and he tries hard.�

Gensollen and Velarde moved to Sanford from Peru in 2001 when Gensollen joined the Visiting International Faculty program. After learning to speak English, Velarde moved up to advanced classes in fifth grade. In addition to his work in the classroom at Southern Lee, Velarde played soccer and tennis and joined activities such as Key Club, Quiz Bowl and the

dents,� said Commissioner Chair Sally Kost. “Given the economic situation, the Board unanimously voted not to pursue an increase in the tax at this time.�

The room occupancy tax is paid on overnight lodging, such as hotels and inns, with all revenues required to be spent on activities to attract more visitors. The funds are managed by the Pittsboro-Siler City Convention and Visitors Bureau

(CVB), which promotes tourism countywide. “We know that Chatham County needs to enhance its efforts to attract more overnight visitors,� said Commissioner Tom Vanderbeck, who is the board’s liaison to the CVB. “The county will work with the CVB to try to find other sources of funding to help make this happen, because it benefits the lodging establishments, retailers and other aspects of our economy.�

National Honor Society.

As he moves on to college, Velarde said he is looking forward to meeting new people who share his interests, but he will miss the support the Southern Lee teachers have offered him. “A lot of the teachers I’ve had are very accessible,� Velarde said. “You can go talk to them. It’s not just about the classroom.�

When he addressed his classmates at graduation, Velarde told them to thank the teachers, parents, family, and friends who have supported them throughout high school.

He also advised them to stay true to themselves as they leave Southern Lee. “We must stop fitting in and start standing out,�

Velarde said. “Only by being unique and brilliant will we succeed in life.�

Salutatorian John Maness also spoke to the senior class, encouraging his fellow graduates to approach their futures with their heads held high. “Look to the road ahead but do not fear it,�

Maness said. “Do not fear

it, because you will not be alone in your journey.�

English as a second language teacher Deborah Wilkes then read the names of every graduating senior as they ascended the steps to the stage, accepted their diplomas and posed for pictures in their first moments as high school graduates.

Once Principal Bonnie Almond offered her congratulations to the class of 2010, students, families and friends alike clapped, cheered and hugged.

As the band played, the graduates marched off the field and said goodbye to the place where they’ve spent the past four years.

Gensollen said she hopes Velarde can be a role mole for other Hispanic high school students, and Velarde agrees that it’s a good feeling to have achieved the valedictorian title. “(Latinos) have the highest dropout rate, and they’re not really expected to excel,� Velarde said. “It’s good to show people that you can achieve your goals if you work hard.�

“If I’m not working with a famous designer, I see myself having my own boutique,� Arias said.

During her senior year, Arias said she “went all out� in terms of her extracurricular involvement. She was president of the International Club, vice president of the Student Government Association and a member of the National Honor Society. “Doing all those activities helped me get to know all my friends and get involved, so it’s hard to leave,� Arias said.

Arias has also been influenced by the teachers at Lee County High School, and she said she will miss their constant support as she moves on to college. “They believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself,� Arias said. “They never gave up on me.

You’re not going to find teachers like that every-

That experience was sad because I didn’t have my best friend with me, but it helped me grow.�

While her mother was in El Salvador, Arias lived with her brother, dropped out of her extracurricular activities and got a job. But a year later, her mother was able to come back to the United States, just in time to help Arias prepare for senior year and college applications. “The whole reason my mother brought me here was to go to college,�

Arias said.

When she starts at N.C. State University in the fall, Arias will become the first person in her family to go to college.

She will study apparel development and production, and hopes to one day work in fashion.

where.�

Arias found success in and out of the classroom, but she said she felt that some people expected less of her because of her race. Though she is proud to be Hispanic, she said when some of her peers commented on her achievements, they said she was “becoming white.� “I’ve had to overcome that stereotype,� Arias said. “It’s been pretty difficult. But the color of your skin doesn’t determine whether you can succeed or not.�

Steve Underwood, Arias’ history teacher, said he admires her determination and is confident she will continue to be successful in the future. “She is the prototypical immigrant story,� Underwood said. “She came here and has achieved and I think she will become an incredible success in college.�

Paving Continued from Page 1A

Clack was found guilty of civil contempt after violating court orders to cease any new residential driveway paving work.

Clack, a Myrtle Beach, S.C., resident today, has been accused of offering paving jobs to multiple customers and then finishing the work with “poor quality paving materials,�

Cooper’s office said.

Multiple complainants, including one Lillington woman, said in court affidavits that Clack promised a good deal because he was in the area and had leftover asphalt from other jobs.

Once a contract was signed for the work, Clack and his crew would complete the work in two hours or less with poor materials.

Clack was uncooperative when his customers tried to obtain refunds for the poor work, the affidavits said.

The Better Business Bureau has identified Clack as the owner of Lee County Asphalt, a company that appears in local phone listings with an address of 953 N. Horner Blvd. in Sanford.

A call to the corresponding phone number revealed the line had been disconnected.

Lee County Asphalt also does not appear in the N.C. Secretary of State’s corporate records as an entity.

Court documents say that Clack would move his operation and change the name once he was accused of defrauding customers.

Clack began work in the Wilmington area and was forced to pay $50,000 after Cooper won an injunction

Thousands of scams involving shabby paving work have been reported in North Carolina over the last three years, according to the Better Business Bureau. Here are some tips to avoid becoming the next victim: ■Avoid door-to-door sales. Reputable contractors will rarely, if ever, sell products door-to-door. ■Beware contractors who say they have leftover asphalt from another job. Most professional contractors can pinpoint with great accuracy how much paving material they will need for a job. ■Watch out for contractors who are pushing a quick decision. Trustworthy companies offer written cost estimates that last days or weeks. Don’t hire anyone on the spot without checking their references. ■Seek a written contract from the company specifying in detail the work to be completed and the total price, not just price per square foot. ■Be wary of companies that claim to only accept cash. Most reputable contractors take checks or credit cards. ■Beware deals that seem too good to be true. Low prices usually mean low-quality work.

against him in March 2008 for poor paving work.

Afterwards, Clack moved to Greensboro and additional litigation followed, prompting a November 2008 court order to wait at least four days after a written contract was signed before beginning any paving work in the state, Cooper’s office said.

In the most recent complaints against Clack, he was accused by a 75year-old Lillington woman of convincing her to pay $8,500 for paving work on May 19 and backdating the contract to appear like it was completed prior to May 14, the day courts had told him to cease all work until a June hearing.

Also included in the complaints was a 90-yearold Fayetteville woman and a couple in their 70s who paid Clack $7,500 to pave driveways in April.

Cooper’s office moved to South Carolina following the November 2008 court order. In Florence County, S.C., Clack is

Clack could not be reached for comment because his phone number at his Myrtle Beach home is unlisted and his business line has been disconnected.

In addition to the court ban, Clack has been ordered to pay $27,500 in refunds to four customers before July 7 or he will be jailed in Wake County, Cooper’s office said.

His multiple operations, which have includes the names Randolph Paving Company, Lee Chatham Paving and Horry County Asphalt, have received an “F� rating from the Better Business Bureau.

The bureau said it has received thousands of complaints regarding such scams in the last three years, often involving companies that promise cheap work in exchange for upfront cash.

Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A haunting 150-year-old photo found in a North Carolina attic shows a young black child named John, barefoot and wearing ragged clothes, perched on a barrel next to another unidentified young boy.

Art historians believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an extremely rare Civil Warera photograph of children who were either slaves at the time or recently emancipated.

The photo, which may have been taken in the early 1860s, was a testament to a dark part of American history, said Will Stapp, a photographic historian and founding curator of the National Portrait Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photographs department at the Smithsonian Institution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very difficult and poignant piece of American history,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What you are looking at when you look at this photo are two boys who were victims of that history.â&#x20AC;?

In April, the photo was found at a moving sale in Charlotte, accompanied by a document detailing the sale of John for $1,150, not a small sum in 1854.

An undated rare photo found in a North Carolina attic, depicts two slave children, art historians say.

New York collector Keya Morgan said he paid $30,000 for the photo album including the photo of the young boys and several family pictures and $20,000 for the sale document.

Morgan said the deceased owner of the home where the photo was found was thought to be a descendant of John.

A portrait of slave children is rare, Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I buy stuff all the time, but this shocked me,â&#x20AC;? he said.

What makes the picture an even more compelling find is that several art experts said it was cre-

ated by the photography studio of Mathew Brady, a famous 19th-century photographer known for his portraits of historical figures such as President Abraham Lincoln and Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. Stapp said the photo was probably not taken

by Brady himself but by Timothy Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sullivan, one of Bradyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apprentices.

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sullivan took a multitude of photos depicting the carnage of the Civil War. In 1862, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sullivan famously photographed a group of some of the first slaves liberated after Lin-

coln issued his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation.

Such photos were circulated in the North by abolitionists to garner support for the Union during the Civil War, said Harold Holzer, an author of several books about Lincoln. Holzer works as an administrator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Most of the photos depicted adult slaves who had been beaten or whipped, he said.

The photo of the two boys is more subtle, Holzer said, which may be why it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t widely circulated and remained unpublished for so long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a moving and astonishing picture,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Ron Soodalter, an author and member of the board of directors at the Abraham Lincoln Institute in Washington, D.C., said the photo depicts the reality of slavery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this picture shows that the institution of slavery didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pick or choose,â&#x20AC;? said Soodalter, who has written several books on historic and modern slavery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a generic horror. It victimized the old, the young.â&#x20AC;?

ELECTION 2010

Union-led group turns in signatures

By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A unionbacked movement said Thursday it turned in more than double the number of signatures required to get an independent candidate on the ballot to challenge Democratic Rep. Larry Kissell in November.

Supporters of North Carolina Families First turned in the last of 35,248 signatures to the Mecklenburg County elections board on Thursday morning, group spokesman Greg Rideout said. Officials in county election offices across the 8th District now have two

weeks to verify whether the group has collected signatures from 16,929 registered voters to qualify Wendell Fant as a candidate.

Don Wright with the State Board of Elections said neither records nor long-time staffers recall a congressional candidate unaffiliated with a party getting on the ballot in North Carolina using the petition process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am just ecstatic,â&#x20AC;?

Chuck Stone, the North Carolina Families First chairman, said in an interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it shows that the voters, especially in the 8th District, definitely want an alternative choice. I think

this is an historic occasion.â&#x20AC;?

Stone said Fant, a former Kissell aide, has expressed interest in running but hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the race for sure. Stone said the signatures couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be used to recruit another candidate if Fant decides not to run.

The first-term congressman filed a House ethics complaint this week against Fant, alleging he used his official title and government equipment to his personal benefit.

Fant didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return phone calls Wednesday and Thursday at his Concord home, but an adviser to North Carolina Families First has called the accusations untrue and said they showed Kissell was worried about a new rival who was at odds with the congressman on the Democratic-penned health care bill. The votes

by Kissell and two other

conservative Democrats against the bill are one reason why North Carolina Families First was organized in the spring.

The state Democratic Party has called the petition effort shortsighted and alleged paid signature collectors are misleading voters about the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intentions. Having another candidate run against Kissell could peel off Democratic votes and benefit his Republican challenger in the swing 8th District. GOP candidates Tim Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Annunzio and Harold Johnson are in a June 22 runoff.

Kissell campaign manager Christopher Schuler said attacks on the right and left are proof Kissell â&#x20AC;&#x153;has steered a moderate, common-sense course, standing with the people rather than with outside special interest groups with millions of dollars to burn.â&#x20AC;?

Lake closed to swimmers after gator moves in HOPE MILLS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Swimming has been prohibited and residents have been warned to be cautious after an alligator was spotted in a North Carolina lake.

Multiple media organizations reported Thursday the roughly 5-foot-long gator was spotted swimming in Hope Mills Lake, about 10 miles south of Fayetteville. Warning signs have been posted and yellow caution tape has been placed on the public side of the lake where people swim.

Hope Mills Police Chief Robert Hassell is telling residents to stay away from the alligator. A state wildlife biologist may visit the lake in the next couple of days to decide if the alligator needs to be removed.

SHELBY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A company that makes bathroom tissue and paper towels will build a distribution center and production plant in North Carolina that should employ about 250 workers within five years.

Clearwater Paper Corp. said Thursday it will build the plant near the Cleveland County city of Shelby. The plant will make private-label tissue products for grocery chains along the East Coast.

The state has promised tax breaks of $3.5 million if the Spokane, Wash.-based company creates and sustains the jobs for 12 years. The company also will receive $500,000 state grant.

The Shelby Star reported Thursday that Cleveland County will provide land for the factory on a 100-acre parcel it owns, build an entry road, and return to the company a portion of the property taxes generated over 10 years.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina archeologists are preparing to surrender their hold on the remains of a Colonial-era resident who may have been a surviving member of Blackbeardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pirate crew.

The Washington Daily News reported Thursday that a Superior Court judge ruled the bones found in 1986 should be returned for reburial to people thought to be the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s descendants.

Raleigh researcher and Outer Banks historian Kevin Duffus thinks the bones are the remains of Edward Salter, a former member of Blackbeardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pirate crew who died 275 years ago.

Salter escaped being hanged after Blackbeardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death and became a barrel-maker and respectable member of the colonial port town of Bath.

SANDHILLS ORTHODONTICS

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A supporter of a bill that would remove North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current cap on monetary damages for an offshore oil spill says the measure is needed because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no guarantee the federal government will raise the limit.

The House Environment Committee recommended on Thursday a measure that would decouple North Carolina from the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cap of all removal costs plus $75 million.

Rep. Pricey Harrison said the measure could apply to damage caused by the BP spill in April if it reaches the North Carolina coast after the bill becomes law. The bill also directs state regulators to seek more information before granting a permit to any offshore oil or gas facility.

inspectors came aboard.

They found that crew members had run a pipe bypassing onboard pollution control equipment.

The Coast Guard checked the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s records and found that for at least seven months the ship had been releasing oily waste on its travels between ports in Asia and the United States.

A federal judge this week sentenced the cargo ship company to the fine and a five-year probation during which it must operate under an environmental compliance plan.

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 16-year-old Southern California girl attempting a solo sail around the world was feared in trouble Thursday in the frigid, heaving southern Indian Ocean after her emergency beacons began signaling and communication was lost.

Abby Sunderlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family was talking with U.S. and international governments about organizing a search of the remote ocean between southern Africa and Australia, family spokesman Christian Pinkston said.

Conditions can quickly become perilous for any sailor exposed to the elements in that part of the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get a plane out there quick,â&#x20AC;? said Pinkston, adding that the teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family in Thousand Oaks was asking for prayers for her safety. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are exhausting every resource to try to mobilize an air rescue including discussions with the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Coast Guard and various international rescue organizations,â&#x20AC;? he said. The closest land is Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reunion Island, east of Madagascar, though the exact distance wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear.

Lawyers: Accused Somali pirates didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rob U.S. ship

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Piracy charges against six Somali nationals should be dismissed because the defendants did not take over or rob the U.S. Navy ship they are accused of attacking, lawyers for the men argue.

The defendants are being held for trial in Norfolk on piracy and other charges related to an April 10 attack on the USS Ashland in the Gulf of Aden off Somaliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pirate-infested coast. Their skiff was destroyed during the encounter.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The parties dispute what prompted the USS Ashland to destroy the small vessel,â&#x20AC;? the attorneys argued in a motion filed in U.S. District Court in Norfolk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But there is absolutely no dispute that the defendants did not take control of the USS Ashland, did not board her, and did not successfully obtain anything of value from her.â&#x20AC;?

The motion cites an 1820 court case that defines piracy as the seizing and robbing of a vessel at sea.

The attorneys said there is no evidence the six men took control of or robbed the ship.

The government said Thursday it would respond to the motion in court.

Aide: Blagojevich said he made deal for Obama seat CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A former top aide to Rod Blagojevich testified Thursday that the then-governor said he had a deal to appoint a state legislator to Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. Senate seat in exchange for letting a veto of ethics legislation stand.

Alonzo Monk testified that Blagojevich was worried the legislation would hurt his ability to raise funds because it banned people with state contracts of $50,000 or more from donating to the campaigns of politicians who administered them.

Blagojevich, who had campaigned by saying he would bring a new era of ethics in state government, had complained the bill unfairly targeted the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. It had passed both houses without a single â&#x20AC;&#x2122;noâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vote before his veto.

Monk quoted Blagojevich as saying former state Senate President Emil Jones agreed to the alleged deal.

But Jones called for the vote, which passed just over a month before Obama was elected president. The override vote might not have occurred had Obama not urged Jones â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his mentor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to call his chamber to action.

Louisiana leaders want drilling to resume in Gulf NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; At the same time they are venting their fury on BP over the Gulf of Mexico spill and its calamitous environmental effects, Louisiana politicians are rushing to the defense of the oil-andgas industry and pleading with Washington to bring back offshore drilling â&#x20AC;&#x201D; now.

As angry as they are over the disaster, state officials warn that the Obama administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temporary ban on drilling in the Gulf has sent Louisianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most lucrative industry into a death spiral.

They contend that drilling is safe overall and that the moratorium is a knee-jerk reaction, akin to grounding every airplane in America because of a single crash.

They worry, too, that the moratorium comes at a time when another major Louisiana industry â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fishing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has been brought to a standstill by the mess in the Gulf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish us off with a moratorium,â&#x20AC;? Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell said this week.

Meanwhile, a government task force of scientists said that before BP cut and capped the blown-out well a week ago, it may have been spewing as much as 2.1 million gallons of oil per day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or twice as much as the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous worst-case estimate. The bigger number is just an estimate, and scientific teams are still coming up with more complete numbers.

It took a heavy blow when the government imposed a six-month offshore drilling moratorium in the wake of the spill that has sent tens of millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf in the biggest environmental disaster in U.S. history.

The government imposed the ban while it reviews the safety of deepwater drilling in light of the BP disaster.

Louisiana lawmakers have railed against the moratorium, saying it could put more than 100,000 people out of work, shutter businesses and destroy livelihoods.

A bill asking the administration to shorten the moratorium passed the Legislature unanimously.

But persuading the administration to take such action could prove to be extraordinarily difficult at a time when globs of oil are fouling marshes and beaches, images of oil-soaked birds are a fixture in the news and no apparent end to the spill is in sight.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has acknowledged the potential damage to energy companies and their employees and promised a Louisiana senator the administration would demand that BP compensate businesses for their losses.

The moratorium put a halt to the 33 deepwater exploratory rigs in operation in the Gulf in addition to all new deep-sea drilling permits.

Platforms that are already producing oil along with rigs in shallow waters are allowed to remain in operation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every one of these deepwater wells employs directly hundreds

of people and indirectly thousands,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one company. This is one well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a terrible situation and no one is making light of it, but what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m saying, as strongly as I can, to this president is the economic analysis is devastating to many companies, thousands of companies.

BP hopes that it can stem the flow of oil soon and remove some of the heat that has been put on the company and energy industry by politicians, the American public and investors, who have dumped BP stock and driven its price down to the lowest level in 14 years out of fear that the spill could spell the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruin.

BP is capturing more oil from the bottom of the sea each day, and expects to siphon even larger quantities by early next week once more heavy equipment arrives. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, who is overseeing the crisis for the government, said BP could be taking in 1.17 million gallons a day by next week, up from the current daily rate of 630,000.

Meanwhile, President Barack Obama on Thursday met with the families of the 11 rig workers who were killed in the April 20 explosion as researchers released their latest findings about the size of the spill, saying that from 1 million to 2.1 million gallons a day may have been leaking before the cap was installed June 3. That is much higher than previous estimates.

NATION BRIEFS McCain 2008 fundraiser admits Ponzi scheme

Jobless claims, exports fall in sluggish recovery

PHOENIX (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A nowdisbarred Florida lawyer who admitted to orchestrating a huge Ponzi scheme gave more than $180,000 to Arizona Sen. John McCainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential campaign, contributions that McCainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senate rival is now making an issue in their competitive primary.

Scott Rothstein was sentenced Wednesday to 50 years in prison after he confessed to running a $1.2 billion fraud using faked legal settlements.

Rothstein also was a key contributor and fundraiser who bundled more than $500,000 in campaign contributions for McCainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2008 race, according to the campaign finance watchdog Center for Responsive Politics.

The exact amount he raised from others is unknown, but Rothstein boasted to the Wall Street Journal in 2008 that he raised as much as $1.1 million for McCain.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The picture of a steady but still sluggish recovery emerged from reports Thursday that showed fewer people are claiming unemployment aid while U.S. exports are slowing.

The reports echo Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernankeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion this week that the rebound will remain intact despite high unemployment, a fragile housing market and Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt crisis. But it will take time to create enough jobs to bring down the 9.7 percent unemployment rate.

Initial unemployment claims fell by 3,000 to a seasonally adjusted 456,000, the Labor Department said Thursday.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the third straight drop.

However, claims havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t moved below where they stood in January.

At the same time, the tally of laid-off workers continuing to claim jobless benefits fell by 255,000 to 4.5 million. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the largest decline in almost a year. It could be because more people are finding work.

But it may simply mean that they have exhausted their initial state benefits. A Labor Department analyst said state agencies didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide any explanation for the drop.

GOP says Kaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memos show political approach

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two senior Republican senators criticized Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan Thursday for memos she wrote as a young law clerk to Justice Thurgood Marshall, saying the papers suggest she lets politics dictate her legal decisions.

Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona and Jeff Sessions of Alabama said the writings show that Kagan was highly opinionated and wanted to use the law to achieve specific policy results, rather than deciding legal questions on their merits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It indicates a developing lawyer who has a political bent to their legal work â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pretty significantly so,â&#x20AC;? said Sessions, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee that will hold Kaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confirmation hearings.

The memos, Sessions added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;show that her background is heavily in political advocacy ... more than the meat-and-potatoes discipline of serious legal work.â&#x20AC;?

Freddie Mac: Mortgage rates hit low for year WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rates on 30-year fixed mortgages fell this week to the lowest level of the year and were barely shy of the all-time low.

Mortgage finance company Freddie Mac says the average rate sank to 4.72 percent, down from 4.79 percent last week. It was just above the record of 4.71 set last December.

The average rate on a 15year fixed-rate mortgage hit 4.17 percent, down from 4.2 percent last week and the lowest on records dating back to August 1991.

Though mortgage rates are at attractive levels, the housing market hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t benefited. The number of customers applying for a mortgage to purchase a property fell to the lowest level in 13 years last week and was down 35 percent from a month ago, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greenhouse gas rules survive Senate vote WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In a boost for the president on global warming, the Senate on Thursday rejected a challenge to Obama administration rules aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and other big polluters.

The defeated resolution would have denied the Environmental Protection Agency the authority to move ahead with the rules, crafted under the federal Clean Air Act. With President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broader clean energy legislation struggling to gain a foothold in the Senate, the vote took on greater significance as a signal of where lawmakers stand on dealing with climate change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If ever there was a vote to find out whose side you are on, this is it,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee.

The vote was 53-47 to stop the Senate from moving forward on the Republican-led effort to restrain the EPA.

Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., predicted the vote would â&#x20AC;&#x153;increase momentum to adopt comprehensive energy and climate legislation this year.â&#x20AC;?

But Obama still needs 60 votes to advance his energy agenda, and Democrats donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have them yet. Sen. James Inhofe, ROkla., said the vote made clear that a majority in the Senate back either a delay or an outright ban on â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Obama EPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job-killing, global warming agenda.â&#x20AC;?

ECONOMY

Americans rebuilding wealth, slowly WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The rebuilding of Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wealth is proceeding in steps rather than strides.

Householdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; net worth rose last quarter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the fourth straight quarterly gain. Yet tumbling stock prices have reduced their wealth since then. Some economists say Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; net worth may now be down slightly for the year. That helps explain why many say it will 2012 or 2013, at best, before Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wealth will return to its pre-recession levels.

Net worth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the value of assets like homes, bank accounts and investments, minus debts like mortgages and credit cards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; rose 2.1 percent last quarter, the Federal Reserve said Thursday. It now amounts

to $54.6 trillion.

In the midst of the recession, household net worth sank as low as $48.3 trillion. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s since risen 13 percent. Yet even counting last quarterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gain, net worth would have to rise 21 percent more to regain its pre-recession peak of $65.9 trillion.

Household wealth is vital to the economy because consumers tend to spend according to how wealthy they feel. And their spending accounts for about 70 percent of the economy.

During the recession, sinking home equity and stock prices made shoppers skittish. Should they become more nervous about their finances, the economic rebound could weaken or stall.

Over the past several

Republicans, and the six Democrats who voted with them to advance the resolution, said Congress, not bureaucrats, should be in charge of writing climate change policy.

They said the EPA rules would drive up energy costs and kill jobs.

But Democrats, referring frequently to the Gulf oil spill, said it made no sense to undermine efforts to curtail greenhouse gas emissions and reduce dependence on oil and other fossil fuels.

The effort to block the rules â&#x20AC;&#x153;is an attempt to bury our heads in the sand and ignore reality,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M. Obama said the vote was another reminder of the need to pass legislation to reduce the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reliance on oil. The White House had issued a veto threat this week, saying the resolution would block efforts to cut pollution that could harm peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and well-being. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today the Senate chose to move America forward, towards that clean energy economy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not backward to the same failed policies that have left our nation increasingly dependent on foreign oil,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The EPA crafted standards on greenhouse gas emissions by big polluters after the Supreme Court ruled that those emissions could be considered a danger to human health and thus could be regulated under the Clean Air Act. The rules are to go into effect next January.

FREE BROCHURE!

quarters, the growth of net worth has been uneven.

Last quarterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2.1 percent increase exceeded the 0.9 percent increase in the fourth quarter of last year.

But it fell well short of the 4.1 percent rise in the second quarter of 2009 and the 5.4 percent gain in the third quarter.

As Americans have gradually recovered some of their wealth, many of them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially the affluent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have been spending more. But the housing and stock markets remain fragile. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why most consumers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spending as freely as they typically do in the early phases of recoveries.

An example is Deena Bogan, 54, of Chicago, who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen her financial standing improve and is sticking to her frugal ways.

Unable to find a fulltime job since leaving her position as a hotel concierge in 2008, she gets by by dipping into her 401(k) retirement account and relying on credit cards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still struggling as much as ever,â&#x20AC;? says Bogan, who works as a freelance writer and a temporary worker at trade shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The economy seems stagnant. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any huge improvement.â&#x20AC;?

Stock values rose 4.4 percent in the January-toMarch period, to the highest point since the second quarter of 2008. But it was before they tumbled in recent weeks. As measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index, stock values lost $1.22 trillion in value between March 31 and the close of trading Wednesday.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘THE KARATE KID’

In this publicity image released by Columbia Pictures, Jaden Smith as “Dre”, left, and Jackie Chan as Mr. Han, are shown in “The Karate Kid.” an economic wasteland worth fleeing while China is a capitalist haven. True, the China you see in “The Karate Kid” whitewashes over the human rights abuses that still permeate this closed society. Still, is the New York you see in “Sex and the City” any less unreal?

Once in China, Dre takes a shine to a young schoolmate, Meiying (Han Wen Wen), which incurs the wrath of Cheng (Zhen Wei Wang), the neighborhood bully and local kung fu champion. During one of several beatings Dre suffers from the fists of fury of Cheng and his gang, the young boy is saved by a handyman named Mr. Han (Jackie Chan).

Han also turns out to be a Miyagi-esque sensei, albeit one who uses a flyswatter

rather than chopsticks.

To save face, Dre enters the upcoming kung fu competition and Han agrees to train him. As Dre learns the finer art of kung fu using a windbreaker, his dalliance with Meiying flourishes and we learn about deep, sorrowful secrets in Han’s past. But, in the end, you know it’s all going to end up at the climactic tournament.

That said, there are several reasons to sit through the film’s rump-numbing running time. Smith easily and convincingly carries off the role’s physicality, even if he seems to have taken one too many acting lessons from his dad. And, Chan dampens his usual silliness to produce one of his most understated English-language roles.

Moreover, the film is

curious about both the Chinese landscape and its culture, including the origins of kung fu and regrettably fleeting references to the battle between parochial tradition and intruding Western culture for the hearts and minds of today’s Chinese youth.

Filming did not take place on some Hollywood back lot, but rather on location throughout China, from crowded tenements to the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the summit of Wudang Mountain. The panorama is occasionally stunning, even if the story is by-the-numbers. “The Karate Kid” follows the same old fight plan, but it still might be worth seeing, just for kicks.

Jeff Beck honors Les Paul with special club gig NEW YORK (AP) — Jeff Beck honored his late friend and mentor, Les Paul, with an intimate performance Wednesday night at his favorite haunt, the Iridium Jazz Club.

Beck The legendary Paul played there every Monday night until his death last August, so it was an appropriate place for a celebration on the night he would have turned 95.

The small basement club was packed with an invitation-only crowd that included a who’s who of rock music. Meat Loaf, Little Steven Van Zandt, Zakk Wylde, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett and many others visibly enjoyed the nearly two-hour set.

The Imelda May Band, a rockabilly quartet from Dublin, backed Beck onstage. May, and her guitarist husband, Darrel Higham, shared most of the night’s vocal duties. She periodically left the stage, especially during the many instrumental numbers.

Brian Setzer also came out to sing during two songs, including the finale.

Midway through the show, May and Beck covered a block of songs made famous by Paul and Mary Ford, including “How High the Moon,” “Vaya con Dios” and “The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise.” Before

E-BRIEFS

‘Karate’ remake a pleasant surprise

he Karate Kid” is guilty of most of its expected transgressions: It’s corny, formulaic, simplistic, and way too long (really, 2 hours, 20 minutes … how does that happen?). In other words, it is a lot like the 1984 demi-classic original starring Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita.

What makes the film entirely watchable, even entertaining at times, are the things you would not anticipate, beginning with the law of diminished expectations. The original “Karate Kid” is an average film, but one that is held in fond regard. At first blush, the specter of producing parents Will and Jada Pinkett Smith remaking it as a starring vehicle for their son Jaden Smith feels fallow.

Smith plays Dre, a fatherless 13-year-old living in Detroit whose his mother, Sherry (Taraji P. Henson), decides to follow her job to China when the auto plant she works at closes and moves production to Beijing. It is an interesting nod to zeitgeist to observe that when the original “Karate Kid” was made, Detroit was still Motor City and China was a totalitarian regime shut off from the rest of the world — indeed, 26 years ago, this film could not have been filmed there.

Today, Detroit is viewed as

Outside of the tribute, Beck covered scorching versions of “Walking in the Sand,” “Sleepwalk” and “The Peter Gunn Theme.”

The last featured 24-yearold New Orleans phenom Trombone Shorty in the horn section. Beck also played the Yardbirds classic, “Train Kept A-Rollin,” a song he covered in the 1960s. The set ended with Bill Haley’s “Rock Around the Clock” and “Shake, Rattle, and Roll.”

Fonda, who was sporting a navy pantsuit for the occasion, said she loves being in France and considers the country “like a second home.”

The ceremony took place during a news conference about the Paris Cinema festival, which will also count Indian-born director M. Night Shyamalan and French heartthrob Louis Garrel among its guest stars.

The festival runs from July 3-13.

Cusack praises co-star Gong Li for intricate work BEIJING (AP) — John Cusack says “Shanghai” co-star Gong Li was part of his cinematic introduction to China, so he jumped at the chance to work with the veteran Chinese actress.

The 44-year-old American actor told a news conference in Beijing on Thursday that China was a “mysterious place” to him as a youth and that he learned about the country gradually through its movies, such as “To Live.” In Zhang Yimou’s 1994 film, Gong plays a suffering wife to a compulsive gambler.

“I was an admirer of Gong Li for so long ... A role like this, to work with such great actors is a rare honor,” Cusack said.

In “Shanghai,” Cusack plays an American intelligence official who investigates a friend’s death in Japanese-occupied Shanghai in the months before the attack on Pearl Harbor.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerful Revolutionary Guard is now in the cross-hairs of U.N. penalties over Tehranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear program, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an elusive target â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a master at the sanctions-busting strategies long used by the Islamic Republic.

Iran has used a combination of third-party companies, deals with deep-pocket allies such as China, and the financial cushion of its oil exports to get around sanctions. The Guard is the muscle behind the clerical rulers and has its hand in every level of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic, military, foreign policy and nuclear planning. It also is at the center of evasive strategies.

Even with two of Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifelines â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Russia and China â&#x20AC;&#x201D; backing the latest Security Council measures, Iran denied being boxed in.

Commerce Minister Mahdi Ghazanfari said Thursday in Beijing that Iran would find â&#x20AC;&#x153;new waysâ&#x20AC;? to overcome the U.N. action.

These could include simply setting up new companies to funnel equipment to Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear and defense programs or leaning more on friendly states such as Venezuela and perhaps even neighboring Turkey to keep money channels open, experts said.

Pope strongly defends priestly celibacy in vigil

Benedict didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t directly mention the clerical abuse scandal that has rocked the Catholic Church for months,

but he referred to what he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;secondary scandalsâ&#x20AC;? that showed â&#x20AC;&#x153;our own insufficiencies and sins.â&#x20AC;?

Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments came during an evening vigil service in St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Square to mark the end of the Vaticanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s year of the priest â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a year that has been marred by revelations of hundreds of new cases of clerical abuse, cover-up and Vatican inaction to stop it.

There had been speculation that Benedict might again refer to the scandal, following his recent comments en route to Portugal during which he acknowledged that it was born of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sin within the churchâ&#x20AC;? and not from outside elements. Previously, Vatican officials, Vatican publications and cardinals had blamed the scandal on the media, the Masons and anti-Catholic lobbies, among others.

Sinking BP shares ignite trans-Atlantic rift LONDON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Gulf of Mexico oil spill risked turning into a trans-Atlantic diplomatic rift Thursday after U.S. threats to have BP fork out billions more for the disaster caused a precipitous slide in the blue-chipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock, hurting retirement savings for millions of Britons.

British lawmakers are even pushing Prime Minister David Cameron to get President Barack Obama to tone down his stinging criticism of the oil company, complaining that the hostile rhetoric will have severe implications for pensioners with nest eggs in the company.

The share slide has since April almost halved BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market value to 69 billion pounds ($101 billion), costing it the spot as Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest company â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and some worry it could become a takeover target for upstart firms in Asia.

BP said there was no reason for the stock drop, stressing its strong finances.

Army: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hundredsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of bodies misidentified WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An Army investigation has found that potentially hundreds of remains at Arlington National Cemetery have been misidentified or misplaced, in a scandal marring the reputation of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preeminent burial ground for its honored dead since the Civil War. Army Secretary John McHugh announced Thursday that the cemeteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two civilian leaders would be forced to step aside, and he appointed a new chief to conduct a more thorough investigation to examine the graves and sort out the mix-up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I deeply apologize to the families of the honored fallen resting in that hallowed ground who may now question the care afforded to their loved ones,â&#x20AC;? McHugh told a Pentagon news conference.

Arlington National Cemetery is considered among the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most hallowed burial sites, with more than 300,000 people buried there with military honors. An average of 30 funerals are conducted there every day.

Among those buried at the cemetery are troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well service members from past conflicts dating back to the Civil War. Famous presidents and their spouses, including

ROETHLISBERGER: I WAS YOUNG, DUMB, IMMATURE PITTSBURGH (AP) — A contrite Ben Roethlisberger says he got caught up in being a caricature called Big Ben, not the grounded player and person he once was, leading to his off-field problems — and affecting his play as the Steelers quarterback.

In his first detailed interviews since a Georgia college student accused him of sexually assaulting her in a nightclub bathroom on March 5, Roethlisberger told Pittsburgh TV stations KDKA and WTAE that he expects to be booed this season.

He also apologized extensively for his actions, and promised to become the role model he should have been throughout his career.

“I got caught up being Big Ben the whole time. I lost track of who Ben Roethlisberger was. It’s not something I’m proud of,” he told WTAE. “I’ve made mistakes, I know I have.”

For the first time, Roethlisberger said that living a role rather than living a life may have affected him on the field, too. The Steelers went 9-7 and missed the playoffs last season, one season after winning the Super Bowl.

“I’ve wanted to apologize to them (fans) for so many things.

For being immature, for being dumb, for being young, for not knowing any better,” he told WTAE. “For getting caught up in everything that was thrown my way. ... In my heart, I know I haven’t been the best person, the best quarterback for the Steelers, I’m not talking just on the field, I’m talking off the field.”

with the Trojans.

The coaches who presided over the alleged misdeeds — football’s Pete Carroll and basketball’s Tim Floyd — left USC in the past year.

USC reacted with uniform outrage to the harshness of the sanctions, promising an appeal.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — College athletics are on the verge of a monumental shift, a realignment that could disintegrate one conference, turn others into 16-school goliaths and have huge financial implications on some of the biggest programs in the country.

The first card flipped on Thursday, when Colorado ditched the Big 12 for the Pac-10. Next up are Nebraska and Missouri, both facing decisions that could spark another exodus and the collapse of the Big 12. “(Now) the first move is made, I think you’ll see the dominos start falling,” said Joel Maxcey, sports economist at the University of Georgia.

It’s already been a wild ride.

The Big Ten started it off by exploring plans to expand, an effort it hoped would add more eyes to its successful cable network and reach the NCAA minimum of 12 teams required to hold a conference championship game in football.

The Big Ten’s big grab led to harried calls between rivals, political ploys and behind-the-scenes maneuvering as schools across the country look to make sure they’re not standing alone, pockets empty, when the music stops.

Colorado took a preemptive strike, deciding to head west to the Pac-10 instead of waiting to see what everyone else was going to do.

The next move could come Friday, when Nebraska and Missouri face a

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — College basketball analyst Dick Vitale got some unwanted attention at the Tampa Bay Rays’ game.

Vitale, who was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2008, was sitting in his normal front row seat near the third base dugout, when he was struck by a foul ball hit by Toronto Blue Jays leadoff hitter Fred Lewis in the first inning of Thursday night’s game.

Lewis sliced a liner that appeared to hit Vitale in the stomach area. Other than rubbing his stomach and side, Vitale seemed fine, remained in his seat and was talking with other fans sitting near him.

Izzo talking to Cavs about job

By TOM WITHERS and LARRY LAGE AP Sports Writers

CLEVELAND — Tom Izzo has flirted with the NBA before. He may finally be ready to commit.

Michigan State’s highly respected coach visited the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday to get a firsthand inspection of a franchise undergoing a major makeover as it prepares to try and re-sign LeBron James, the free-agent-of-a-generation.

After flying to Cleveland in one of Cavs owner Dan Gilbert’s jets, Izzo spent several hours visiting with members of the front office and touring the team’s facilities.

Izzo, who has been courted by pro teams in the past, is believed to be mulling a contract worth up to $6 million a season from the Cavaliers, who fired Mike Brown last month after they lost in the second round of the playoffs to Boston despite having the league’s

WORLD CUP

U.S. vs. England is America’s soccer moment

By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

IRENE, South Africa — The bars are stocked across America, and the pubs are getting ready in England. A 70 1/2-foot billboard of Clint Dempsey stands near Penn Station in Manhattan, and there’s even a large poster of Landon Dono-

van in a store along Piccadilly Circus.

American soccer has never been more popular in the United States or its players more well-known across the world. And on Saturday comes the first competitive match between the U.S. and England since the great American upset

at the 1950 World Cup. For one afternoon, millions will be watching from California to New York island. Like never before in the United States, this is the sport’s moment.

“I don’t know what’s going to be better, at the bar with my friends back home watching it, or actually playing it, be-

cause it’s going to be special,” goalkeeper Tim Howard said Thursday.

On the first cloudy day since the U.S. team started workouts June 1, the Americans practiced in Pretoria. Then their red-white-and-blue bus with

Panthers’ Muhammad retires after 14 seasons CHARLOTTE (AP) — A cocky Muhsin Muhammad joined a Carolina franchise in 1996 that was beginning only its second season, and over the next two decades the Panthers and Muhammad effectively grew up and matured together.

That’s why the former Pro Bowl receiver’s retirement announcement was so lengthy. There were a lot of memories to go over and a lot of people to thank.

Carolina’s career leader in catches and yards receiving walked away from

the game on Thursday after 14 seasons, 11 of which were spent in Charlotte, where Muhammad made a transformation on and off the field.

“I’ve done everything I could possibly do in an NFL career for 14 years, outside of actually winning a championship ring,” Muhammad said.

“I’ve played in two Super Bowls, I have Super Bowl records and I’ve done a lot of good things throughout my career. I’m full, I’m fulfilled. I’m at peace with my decision.”

Braves blow big lead, still win

PHOENIX (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brooks Conrad scrambled home to break a ninth-inning tie and the Atlanta Braves, after blowing a five-run lead, beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 11-7 Thursday.

Conrad led off with a pinch-hit single, stole second and made a headfirst slide to score on pinch-hitter Brian McCannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-out single off closer Chad Qualls (1-3).

Padres 4, Mets 2 NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mat Latos outpitched Johan Santana, and the San Diego Padres stopped New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine-game home winning streak by beating the Mets 4-2 in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.

Reds 7, Giants 6 CINCINNATI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brandon Phillips had four hits, including a two-run triple in the eighth inning that rallied the Reds to yet another comeback win.

Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; triple off Guillermo Mota (0-2) tied it at 6.

Joey Vottoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single up the middle gave the Reds their 12th win in their final atbat, the most in the majors.

Cincinnati has a streak

of nine straight losing seasons, its longest in more than a half-century.

Izzo

But earlier this week, Izzo seemed to have a change of heart and met with his current players. He told them to continue to work hard, but did not say if he was leaving the school, associate head coach Mark Montgomery said.

The day began with Izzo on campus in East Lansing, Mich., but by early afternoon he was in Cleveland. His plane was scheduled to land at Burke Lakefront Airport, but was diverted to Cuyahoga County Airport in Richmond Heights, Ohio, because the Cavaliers wanted to avoid TV cameras.

Cavs owner Dan Gilbert did arrive at Burke, which is a short drive from Quicken Loans Arena, the Cavsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; downtown home.

Izzoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in the Cavsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; job could hinge on Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; future. The twotime MVP can become a free agent July 1, and is expected to entertain offers from several teams.

It is not known if Izzo has contacted James to see whether Cleveland remains one of his possible destinations.

best regular-season record for the second straight year.

It is not known if Izzo gave the Cavs a decision or a timetable for one.

If Izzo and Cleveland do not come to terms, the team could turn its attention to former New Orleans and New Jersey coach Byron Scott, whose resume would make him attractive to Cleveland.

Scott won three NBA titles as a player and has experience in coaching such stars as Jason Kidd and Chris Paul.

A phone message to Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agent, Brian McInerney, was not immediately returned.

New Cleveland general manager Chris Grant said the Cavaliers have spoken to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;numberâ&#x20AC;? of candidates, but did not divulge any names. The team has inquired about Milwaukee assistant Kelvin Sampson.

Izzo recently said he would stay with the Spartans until they won another national title.

STANLEY CUP FINALS

Chicago Blackhawks goalie Antti Niemi kisses the Stanley Cup on the ice after the Blackhawks defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 in overtime in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals in Philadelphia , Pa., Wednesday.

Long time coming: Blackhawks are champs CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; From the first day of training camp nine months ago, the Chicago Blackhawks felt the expectations. They were everywhere, generated by championship-hungry fans and by the players themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to win the Stanley Cup. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what a lot of the guys are thinking,â&#x20AC;? Patrick Kane said after that first practice on a steamy September day.

The Blackhawks, led by the 21-yearold Kane and their 22-year-old captain Jonathan Toews, made it happen.

Now they will parade with their teammates on Friday through a city that is giddy because the Blackhawks have seized the Cup for the first time since 1961.

When Kane was taken with the first pick in the draft three years ago, it started the Blackhawks on their way to a remarkable rebirth. A year earlier they had chosen Toews in the first round and now they have become the faces of the franchise both on and off the ice.

Thousands of tickets in refurbished 38,646-capacity Royal Bafokeng Stadium were purchased back in the United States for the match at the foot of the Magaliesberg mountain range in the North West Province. Stevan Galich, a fan from Chicago, organized transportation for 350 American fans from Sandton, a north Johannesburg suburb, to Rustenburg on Saturday.

At such a young age, they have won the Cup and done so in a short amount of time, accomplishing what some never do throughout their careers.

A United Center that four years ago was half empty now rocks and the Blackhawks are one of the hottest tickets in town, a re-emergence that can be attributed to the efforts of owner Rocky Wirtz and his president John McDonough, who was hired away from the Chicago Cubs.

Kane finally ended the championship drought â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the longest active one in the NHL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a game-winning goal in overtime against the Flyers.

What an end to a whirlwind year for both Kane and Toews, who signed lucrative contract extensions with the Blackhawks in December â&#x20AC;&#x201D; five-year deals worth $31.5 million each.

Kane had a difficult summer. In his hometown of Buffalo, he and his cousin were arrested following an altercation with a cab driver.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lee Westwood prefers competition the week before a major to tune up his play. The Englishman looks quite ready now for the U.S. Open based on his opening round at the St. Jude Classic.

Westwood took advantage of no wind and a rain-softened course to shoot a 7-under 63 Thursday that equaled his best on the PGA Tour and gave him a one-stroke lead in the suspended first round. The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 3-ranked player tied the course record for the back nine with a 29 with four of his five birdies and an eagle. He parred out his final eight holes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pleased with the start, 63 is always a good start,â&#x20AC;? Westwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be disappointed with that. Could have been better, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to cry too much about missing from 4 feet on the last.â&#x20AC;?

Not bad for someone who flew from London to San Francisco to play 27 holes Sunday at Pebble Beach with another 18 Monday before heading to Memphis. Westwood played nine holes Tuesday and a practice round Wednesday in his first visit to this course, but wound up with near-perfect scoring conditions in the eighth group off the 10th tee Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My caddie said normally thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of breeze that blows. You try and score when you get your morning time on the first two days when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fairly calm, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I tried to do,â&#x20AC;? Westwood said.

The Irish Pub, a few blocks from Carnegie Hall in Manhattan, is packed many weekend mornings for English Premier League games.

Last month, it doubled in size in preparation for the World Cup. Youth soccer teams are planning to meet to watch together, and several Major League Soccer stadiums will open for viewing parties.

Adidas, Nike and Puma have been busy selling World Cup gear.

More than 55,000 fans went to Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lincoln Financial Field for the U.S. teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sendoff game on May 29.

“I’m absolutely shocked and disappointed in the findings of the NCAA,” Carroll said in a video statement produced by the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks, who hired him in January. “I never thought it would come to this.”

The penalties include the loss of 30 football scholarships over three years and vacating 14 victories in which Bush played from December 2004 through the 2005 season. USC beat Oklahoma in the BCS title game on Jan. 4, 2005, and won 12 games during Bush’s Heisman-winning 2005 season, which ended with a loss to Texas in the 2006 BCS title game.

stay-or-go ultimatum from the Big 12.

Nebraska seems most likely to go.

The Cornhuskers have long-standing ties with many of the schools in the Big 12’s North Division — they’ve played Kansas and Missouri in football since the 1890s — but Big Ten money might be too much to pass up.

Nebraska’s regents are scheduled to meet Friday to discuss conference realignment. Colorado’s decision to bolt early could play a role in the decision, though it might already be a done deal.

a committee will meet to consider vacating USC’s 2004 championship. While no action would go into effect until USC’s appeals are heard by the NCAA, Hancock said there would be no 2004 champion if USC’s victory is vacated.

“I take the same stance as our university,” new football coach Lane Kiffin said. “There is some guilt, but the punishment is too severe. That’s why the appeal process is taking place.”

The rulings are a sharp repudiation of the Trojans’ decade of stunning football success under Carroll, who won seven straight Pac-10 titles and two national championships before abruptly returning to the NFL. The NCAA says Bush received lavish gifts from two fledgling sports marketers hoping to sign him. The men

paid for everything from hotel stays and a rent-free home where Bush’s family apparently lived to a limousine and a new suit when he accepted his Heisman Trophy in New York in December 2005.

The NCAA found that Bush, identified as a “former football student-athlete,” was ineligible beginning at least by December 2004, a ruling that could open discussion of the revocation of the New Orleans Saints star’s Heisman. Members of the Heisman Trust have said they might review Bush’s award if he were ruled ineligible by the NCAA. “I have a great love for the University of Southern California, and I very much regret the turn that this matter has taken, not only for USC, but for the fans and players,” Bush said in a statement.

tor Tom Osborne said of Colorado’s announcement.

“I really have no comment on this. I’m not saying we’re gone or not gone. Until we have a definite decision, I’m not saying anything else.”

Missouri faces a more difficult challenge.

The school has expressed interest in joining the Big Ten and seemed to be a good fit with its proximity and heated rivalry with Illinois. But Missouri apparently became a less-popular choice for the conference in recent weeks and the university’s curator said Thursday the school had not been invited to join the Big Ten. Even if Missouri decides to stay in the Big 12, the school could be left to forage amid the scraps of

the Big 12 or searching for another, lower-profile, lessprofitable conference.

“There’s a lot of concern among alumni about what happens to Mizzou and how this works out,” said Todd McCubbin, executive director of the Missouri Alumni Association.

The next round of movement could be the most volatile.

The Big Ten appears to be interested in adding Notre Dame — as most conferences would — though Fighting Irish athletic director Jack Swarbrick said Thursday that the school’s position hasn’t changed and wouldn’t comment on realignment. The Big Ten might also be looking east, to pilfer schools from the Big East.

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Reluctant commuter feels torn between great boss, closer job DEAR ABBY: I am 23 years old and I adore my job and my boss. There is only one problem — I must commute more than an hour each way, and the drive (especially with gas prices these days) is killing me.

I have been with the company for more than a year, and I recently heard that the parent corporation is hiring for a position similar to mine in the town that I live in. I desperately want to apply for the transfer, but I have no idea how to approach the subject with my boss, since I feel I owe her so much. She hired me for the position when I was fresh out of college with absolutely no experience.

Abby, help me! How do I ask to leave a job that I love?

Happy Birthday: Take hold of your future. You have to be forthright and engaging if you want to persuade people to bank on you and your talent.

Your skills must be developed and utilized to the fullest. Your ability to visualize and explain what you see to others will put you ahead and help you succeed. Your numbers are 6, 10, 20, 22, 38, 31, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Concentrate on the goals you have set and don’t look sideways or back. It’s full steam ahead if you want to be successful. You have lots to offer, but giving too much for nothing will not help you reach your target.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can resolve any troublesome issues in your personal life if you address them directly.

Choose diplomacy over stubbornness. A creative idea you have been mulling over can bring in extra cash.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t hide your feelings when it is necessary to get them out in the open in order to fix trouble spots in your life.

Be honest with yourself as well as with the people involved. A little romancing will go a long way if you are trying to impress someone.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be persistent, truthful and to the point. Facts must be laid out for everyone to see. A money deal can be exceptionally good for you if it brings with it more comfort, less stress and a new outlook.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Help is on the way and your plans can be executed. There is change personally, professionally and geographically that will help pave the way to bigger and better opportunities. Don’t let someone’s bragging cause insecurities.

tions with and you will bypass any misconceptions. Spend time networking and drumming up deals. Get any promises in writing. Play to win, but play fairly.

Romance should fill your evening hours.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t be secretive about the way you feel or your intentions. Present, promote and move forward with whatever personal or professional plans you are into. Love is in the stars and sharing your plans with someone special will be reason to celebrate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Don’t hold back or you may end up looking worse. You’ll have to explain your personal situation if you want to avoid a feud. Travel may entice you but it will be costly and lead to a work-related problem.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): If you let anger take over, you will miss the point being made.

Physical activity or a challenge that can occupy your mind will ease tension and help you avoid making a mistake when dealing with friends, relatives or children. A financial deal can go either way depending on how you handle it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Fix up your surroundings and it will have a beneficial effect on the way you do and see things. Learn or develop a skill that can help you advance. You have to put in an effort to get a return.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be a little disjointed and inconsistent but that will attract interest from someone who sees your potential and your adaptability. It’s best to wait and find out the facts before taking action. Spend time mastering something new.

DEAR EMPLOYEE: You are confusing a business relationship with one that is personal. You are also not the first person to want to leave a job because the commute is tiring and expensive.

Go to your boss, tell her you heard a position is opening up close to home, and that you would like to transfer for the reasons you told me. Then ask if she will put in a good word for you. When she hears why you want to be closer to home, I’m sure she’ll do it. o DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Jo-

-- or me -- enough credit. Life isn’t a beauty contest. You appeal to me on MANY levels, and your looks are just part of the reason I’m attracted to you. Those other men are jealous of what we have together, and none of them can hold a candle to you.”

nah,” and I share a loving and fun relationship. Apparently, I am better than average looking. I know this because people constantly ask my boyfriend, “Wow, how did you get her?” or, “Man, you must pay her to date you!”

I always give Jonah hugs and tell him how attracted I am to him, which is true. My problem is the attention I’ve been receiving has started to affect HIM. Now he makes comments about how fat he is (he’s not), or that his skin is bad (everyone gets zits!), or that I should leave him for someone “better” looking.

Abby, I love this man and want to marry him. How do I convince Jonah that he’s my hot, sexy boyfriend whom I love to pieces?

— HOT MAMA IN OREGON DEAR HOT MAMA: I can’t script you, but when Jonah starts putting himself down, try something like this: “You’re not giving yourself

o DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for a year.

It’s my second marriage and his first. Because we were unable to afford a wedding at the time, we married at the courthouse.

We are now having a wedding so we can share this with our family and friends.

Some of our friends and family think we are wasting money or looking for gifts. We have not registered anywhere and have made no gift requests. Are we making a mistake? Should we simply have taken the money we’re spending on this special day and put it toward a trip for us?

— BLUSHING BRIDE IN MICHIGAN DEAR BLUSHING BRIDE: Your mistake may have been in calling your celebration a “wedding.” If you had called it a “renewal of vows with family and friends” it might have been more warmly received.

As to whether you should have taken the money you’re spending and used it for a honeymoon, I think it’s a little late to be secondguessing yourself — don’t you?

Obscenities-laden jury summons gets man in trouble

NY pizza-payoff cop admits faking his own shooting

YUMA, Ariz. (AP) — An Arizona man who bluntly expressed his displeasure about being called to jury duty has landed himself in legal hot water.

Timothy Michael Jones was ordered to appear Tuesday in court to explain why he sent back a jury questionnaire with obscenities written in black marker. He failed to show and Yuma County Superior Court Judge Andrew Gould issued a bench warrant. Jones now faces a charge of indirect criminal contempt, which carries possible penalties of six months in jail and a fine of up to $300.

Court records show Jones was sent a jury summons last month telling him he had been randomly selected as a prospective juror along with the questionnaire.

GOWANDA, N.Y. (AP) — A New York police officer who pleaded guilty to official misconduct for taking three pizzas as payment for covering up a woman’s traffic ticket now admits he faked his own shooting.

Erie County District Attorney Frank Sedita says Jason Miller, a former parttime officer in the western New York village of Gowanda (goh-WAHN’-duh), confessed that he hung his bulletproof vest on a tree and shot it two years ago.

The admission was part of last month’s plea deal in the pizza case.

Miller admitted he arrested a driver for a suspended license in June 2009 and accepted the pizzas to drop the ticket.

Drunken Wash. state man breaks into bank to sleep ELLENSBURG, Wash. (AP) — Police in Ellensburg, Wash., say a man looking for a place to sleep broke into the basement of a bank, and — yes — he had been drinking.

Surveillance video shows the man breaking a basement window about 3 a.m. Saturday and leaving before 8 a.m.

Police tracked down the 21-yearold by Tuesday and arrested him at his home for investigation of second-degree burglary and malicious mischief.

Capt. Dan Hansberry says the man was intoxicated and doesn’t know why he went to the bank to snooze.

6 rings stolen from Ron Dayne returned in bag MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Police say six rings reported stolen by former University of Wisconsin and NFL running back Ron Dayne have been returned to him in a plastic bag.

Madison Police Lt. Jennifer Krueger Favour said Dayne had reported the rings stolen from home in Waunakee, Wis. She said they were returned anonymously in a plastic bag Tuesday to Dayne’s apartment in nearby Madison.

Krueger Favour did not describe what the rings were and Dayne did not return a message.

Old age isn’t easy, but God is good Q: My husband is really getting forgetful (we’re both in our late 70s) but he refuses to admit it and won’t even think about seeing a doctor. The situation is getting harder and harder for me to handle, but I don’t know what to do. What would you suggest? -- Mrs. K.W. A: I’m not a physician, of course, but it’s important for your husband to be evaluated by a doctor to be sure his memory problems aren’t caused by a more serious underlying condition. Even if they aren’t, your doctor may suggest some ways to slow their progress.

How can you get him to agree to see the doctor? It may not be easy; perhaps he secretly senses he has a problem and is fearful of having it confirmed. He may also fear losing his independence (such as being required to stop driving). However, elsewhere in your letter you mention that your children also have noticed he’s having these problems. I suggest you enlist their help -- not only to encourage him to see the doctor, but also to help you plan for the future.

Most of us fear losing our independence as we grow older -- but that time will come for most of us if we live long enough. Now is the time to face this fact and prepare for it, instead of waiting until others have to make decisions for us. The Bible says, “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come” (Ecclesiastes 12:1).

May you both also discover new strength from God during these days. Old age isn’t easy -- but God is faithful, and He hasn’t abandoned you.

Graduationâ&#x20AC;Śis it a beginning, ending, or a stop along the way?

Graduation is a beginning of life as a young adult, of new friendships, of higher education or a fulfilling occupation.

Graduation may also bring endingsâ&#x20AC;Śto familiar surroundings and comfortable routines, to old friendships; a setting aside of childlike fears and second hand ideas.

Perhaps, graduation is a significant stop along the way, a preparatory pause, a fork in the road, a step on lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ladder. Indeed, the word itself means a gradual transition â&#x20AC;Śa time to remember the past, to ponder the present, and to dream of the future.

Whatever graduation means to you, feel proud of your accomplishments, and praise God for providing you with strength and guidance. Worship Him regularly, so that you may continue to receive His direction during this most meaningful time in your life!
