The record will show it was a tie, but it was hardly that. One found renewed confidence; the other will feel the heat. The United States and England played to a 1-1 draw Saturday night in their World Cup opener, with American Clint Dempsey scoring on a blunder by goalkeeper Robert Green and U.S. goalie Tim Howard withstanding a second-half barrage by Wayne Rooney and his celebrated teammates.

Today is Sunday, June 13, the 164th day of 2010. There are 201 days left in the year. This day in history: On June 13, 1966, the Supreme Court issued its landmark Miranda v. Arizona decision, ruling that criminal suspects had to be informed of their constitutional right to consult with an attorney and to remain silent before being questioned by police. In 1927, aviation hero Charles Lindbergh was honored with a ticker-tape parade in New York City. In 1935, James Braddock claimed the title of world heavyweight boxing champion from Max Baer in a 15-round fight in Long Island City, N.Y. “Becky Sharp,” the first movie photographed in “three-strip” Technicolor, opened in New York. In 1944, Germany began launching flyingbomb attacks against Britain during World War II. In 1957, the Mayflower II, a replica of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to America in 1620, arrived at Plymouth, Mass., after a nearly two-month journey from England. In 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson nominated Solicitor-General Thurgood Marshall to become the first black justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

not a “hard-core biker,� although he fits the stereotypical bill. Gleaming white Harley Davidson bike, check. Tattered, black Harley Davidson T-shirt, check. Woolly goatee, check. Broad, sunbronzed arms that look like they’ve seen a little manual labor in the sun, check. But Shaw, 49, is a study in contrasts. He’s a family man, with children and grandchildren. He’s big-hearted, with plans to launch a charity foundation upon his return to Lee County. He gets emotional when he tells his story, tearing up when it comes to the subject of his hemophilia, the rare genetic disorder that prevents his blood from clotting properly and could lead to life-threatening bleeding if he suffers even the smallest of injuries. Then there’s the Shrek hat, a green cap complete with the protruding, hornlike ears that are the trademark of the crabby ogre starring in the smash Dreamworks animated films. Shaw was wearing the hat as he packed up his motorcycle Saturday, in preparation for the initial journey today to Key West. He dabbed his eyes when conversation turned to the hemophilia, the dangerous blood disorder that has left him with $3,000 monthly insurance bills and more than any man’s fair share of health problems. Shaw must be careful with his disorder. One spill on his beloved motorcycle could start the bleeding and his journey would end in a hospital bed. That’s not stopping him. “All my life, I’ve been told I can’t do this,� he said. “And that’s why I’m doing this, because I can.� Shaw has been riding for a half-decade, and he talked Saturday about how the bike was a lifesaver for him as his marriage dissolved in recent years. “I called it my therapy,� he said. “I could go out there stressed, ride around for 30 minutes and come
The Sanford Herald / Sunday, June 13, 2010 / 5A back feeling fine.� He insists that there’s nothing like the feel of riding a motorcycle on the open road. “If you’ve ever rode one, you’ll throw away your car,� he said. Riders in the Hoka Hey will foot the bill for their own gas and supplies, and many, including Shaw, are raising money for various charity organizations. Shaw said he wants to start a foundation to benefit those suffering from hemophilia when it comes to the astronomical insurance and medicinal costs of the disorder. He’s carrying a tent on the back of his motorcycle — perfect for camping out in a Lowe’s parking lot — and he’s stuffed his cases with dull brown packages of the meals ready to eat, commonly known as MREs, that sustain soldiers. Shaw is from a military family, and he’s dining on the MREs as a tribute to American veterans. He’ll be keeping a log of his travels on his camera, even as television megaproducers 316 Films, the ones behind the popular “American Idol� series, film it all for a show. “I’m sure with 1,000 bikers down there, there will be some things you can’t show on TV,� Shaw said with a laugh. Shaw said the project came on a whim after he read an advertisement in a magazine. Hoka Hey fit the bill for Shaw. At the time, he was recovering after contracting hepatitis following a blood transfusion brought on by his hemophilia. Shaw said he had promised himself he would see the entire country on his bike. After coughing up $1,000 to enter the challenge, Shaw was a rider. “Daddy’s nuts.� That’s how Shaw’s kids described him when they found out about his dream, he said. But Shaw, who’s had his share of adversity, will make the most of it, as he does every day now. After all, no one has any guarantees that they’ll live through the week, he said. “You never know,� he adds.

SUNDAY THUMBS THUMBS UP Great week to graduate A big thumbs up goes out to all of our local graduates who walked the stage and earned their diplomas or degrees this past month. Whether you’re a high school or college graduate, somebody who returned to school or even a kindergarten graduate, we’re proud of you and thankful for your hard work. No matter what happens in Lee County, we’re going to survive if we continue to build a strong
education foundation. From the stories we’ve done on our local grads this week, we’ve been fortunate to get a glimpse of the potential our county has. Congrats on your accomplishment ... and best of luck in the next chapter of your life, graduates.
THUMBS UP Still stuck to the tether Volunteers in Durham County are helping people with pets build fences so pet owners aren’t forced to break the new law when it comes to tethering a pet. More and more counties in North Carolina are passing no tethering laws — laws that forbid a pet owner from chaining up
their dog in the front or back yard for extended periods of time. It’s a sight seen all too often in Lee County. Dogs tied to rope that’s barely six-feet in length ... spending their whole lives within a six-foot radius of the pole they’re tied to. Aside from it being downright cruel, tethered dogs tend to be loud dogs, too, and it’s led to many noise complaints from neighbors. We encourage Lee County Animal Control — which has said recently we can expect changes in Lee County — to seriously
consider a no-tethering law here. And we encourage our elected officials to help make this happen. Lee County is behind the times when it comes to animal welfare. It’s about time the “change” started happening.
THUMBS UP Kudos to the Function The “Function at the Junction” summer concert series, which is held each Thursday evening through Sept. 9 at Depot Park, is a wonderful program that provides free entertainment to Central Carolina citizens. Quality entertainment at a bargain price (it’s free!) can’t be beat. What a way to spend a summer evening among friends.

RE: Graduating senior turned his life around at SLHS Praise God. It is great to hear a story of someone rising from adversity. I, too, share a similar story growing up in Lee County. Keep your head up, and ALWAYS continue to move forward. Never forget that when you get knocked down, you HAVE to get back up. Always let God be your guide and you will be just fine. — Thinking-man
What a wonderful story all around. With God, all things are possible. Sounds like this young man had some good teachers and counselors who also believed in him. Our future leaders! — TruthSeeker2010
RE: Stone doubts tax cut will pass Nothing like a bogus call to reduce the tax rate 1 cent for fools to jump on it like fish on a hook. One cent saves a homeowner with a $200,000 house all of $20 a year. Spending down the city’s savings for current expenses is also a fools’ errand. You lose your investment income as well as your principle. Since the only people who benefit from a 1-cent cut have to own a load of valuable property, like a factory or a Walmart, who’s the 1-cent cut for? Sound like another gift to the wealthy. Let’s see, if you own $10,000,000 worth of property that one cent is worth $10,000 — now we see who the cut is for don’t we? — Lumber123ABC
RE: Expert A biz that goes green saves green Really the secret is to sell more and spend less? who would have thought of this by themselves? But if we all spend less how are you going to sell more? “Green” and “Sustainable” are the new products of the snake oil salesman, they treat everything but cure nothing. — Townsend

Temporary hooligan L
ike the majority of die-hard American sports fans, soccer was never part of my upbringing. My parents were football fans, and thus when the umbilical cord was cut on the day of my birth, I was immediately handed a Dallas Cowboys pennant. My favorite toys as a toddler were chess men, which I used as both chew toys and football players, according to legend. My first sport? Little league baseball. My second sport? American football ... pads, helmets and all. This continued through high school, where my only other sport was track ... but coach only said track was a good idea because it was training for the following football season. Because of this, I ran the two-miler. I hated the two-miler. I was always too short and uncoordinated for basketball, but when my friends and I needed to kill time in the driveway during our youth, we played hoops. Nowhere on my sports map did soccer ever come into play. I didn’t have the stereotypical soccer parents we’ve come to know and love today. And never once did I wish differently. Soccer, to me, was for rich kids. At least that’s the way it turned out in Northeast Texas. Parents with money got their kids on travelling teams — I had a cousin on some of these teams — and we made fun of them for playing the “sissy” sport. In Texas, where football is king, this is completely accepted. It was until college where I got my first taste of soccer. I was asked to join an intramural team — despite my ignorance of the sport — because I could run and could run for vast amounts of time (thanks to the two-miler). So I played. And I stunk. And I learned something for my two-game intramural soccer career. It’s not a sissy sport, and I wasn’t even close to being in shape for it. I write this as the entire world — me included — is glued to their television sets to watch the World Cup. Despite a few low-scoring ties, the first few days of games have been exciting, and I watched from start to finish the U.S.-England tilt Saturday, pumping my fist at the Americans’ unlikely goal and chanting “U.S.A! U.S.A.!” at the unlikely tie. Sure, I’m riding the bandwagon. I will resume not caring about the sport in a few weeks, and all will be well. I’m sure the sport won’t miss me. And I’m sure millions of other bandwagoners will join me. To us, the World Cup — like the Winter Olympics — is a good filler between football seasons. I have friends who are soccer fanatics, and a few of them have tried to convince me that if I really paid attention to the “world’s sport,” I, too, would be hooked. I doubt it, and I doubt soccer will ever become the bread-and-butter sport (or even in the Top 3) in the United States, even if the Stars and Stripes win it all (speaking of “unlikely”). And there are plenty of reasons for this
Billy Liggett Sanford Herald Editor Contact Billy Liggett by e-mail at bliggett@sanfordherald.com — reasons even the biggest soccer apologist can’t deny or overcome. Here are but a few:
SOCCER IS TOO ATTENTION-DEMANDING What do professional football, baseball, basketball and hockey all have in common? Commercial breaks. In fact, of the 60 minutes played in your typical NFL game, only about 15 seconds is actual football. The rest is huddles, shots of the coach yelling on the sideline, the National Anthem, halftime shows, instant replay and end zone celebrations. Baseball has enough time for a full commercial between every pitch. And have you noticed that the last two minutes of a basketball game can last 30 minutes in real time? But soccer? No breaks at all. In fact, the clock never stops. Time is ADDED to the game if for whatever reason play stops. So the soccer fan must always be on their toes. No pee breaks. No beer commercials. No nothing. Americans don’t have that kind of attention span, and for this reason alone, soccer will never be a ratings-getter in the U.S. NO DRAMA I know in England, soccer is full of off-thefield drama, but here, we barely know our guys’ names. That’s because there’s no baseball-style steroid usage in soccer, no football-style crime sprees in soccer, no basketball-style infifelity in soccer and no hockey-style brawls in soccer. Americans like soap operas with their sports. Soccer is too much like public service television for our tastes. All this said, I completely understand the passion in soccer, and I’m jealous of it, in fact. American sports fans like to think they live and die with their teams, but even the most diehard Tar Heel basketball fan has nothing on an Irish soccer hooligan or South African soccer loyalist. I’ll do my best to follow the World Cup to the end (or at least until the Americans are dropped). Just don’t expect me to go visiting the local “pitch” when it’s over.
Letters to the Editor Not pleased with ‘changes’ at county Animal Control To the Editor: I having been working in Lee County’s animal welfare community for the last five years, and there have been recent changes to the Lee County Animal Control program that the public needs to be aware of. As an animal advocate, I have always felt fortunate that Lee County had a county-run Animal Control that was willing to work with private rescue organizations and looked out for the well being of homeless and unwanted animals of Lee County. However, in the last year this has changed. In May, Animal Control made it policy that they will no longer “hold” an animal for anyone or any reason. This makes it difficult for private rescue organizations to transfer animals from the Lee County shelter. In order to provide animals with the needed care to place them for adoption, rescue organizations must ensure space, supplies and volunteers are available. There are rescue groups all over the East Coast willing to help with these animals, but it takes coordination, effort and time. Without the cooperation needed on behalf of the Animal Control department, these animals are dying needlessly at the taxpayers’ expense. Unfortunately, this policy also means that if your pet is mistakenly taken to the Lee County shelter on Monday and you can’t get there during open hours because you work a Monday-through-Friday, 9-to-5 job, your pet will be dead on Thursday morning because they legally only have to hold “stray” animals for 72 hours. There have also been recent changes to the types of calls to which Animal Control will respond. If you are concerned about the welfare of an animal that you believe may be suffering from neglect, Animal Control officers have been instructed to tell you that they are not responsible for these types of situations. North Carolina general statutes and Lee County code very clearly state that it is unlawful to neglect or mistreat an animal and that the Animal Control Department is responsible for enforcing the current laws and investigating animal cruelty. I personally believe this is absolutely unacceptable and needs to change now. I know that CARA is working with the Board of Health to suggest changes to Animal Control, but possible future changes are not an excuse to deny the animals of Lee County an opportunity for humane treatment today. Most importantly, the Animal Control Department has an annual budget of over $300,000. It appears that they are only using the taxpayers’ money to “catch and kill” the animals that end up in their custody. Please note that the shelter staff and Animal Control Officers are not to blame for this. This is a direct result of poor management and leadership on behalf of the Health Department and the county commissioners. Contact your county commissioner and tell him or her that these practices need to be rectified immediately. LORI RESNICK Lee County
Couple appreciates random act of kindness To the Editor: It was an RAK — Random Act of Kindness. My wife and I had just brought Alec and Anna, ages 8 and 6, to Kiwanis Park. As we sat with them at the exercise area just across the bridge, a gentleman called out to us, “It’s too hot to be out here with no head covering.” We agreed and were preparing to leave when our unknown friend came up with two brand-new baseball-type caps. He said, “Put this on, it’s new and dry.” He took off over to where my wife was, handed her a cap and bid us adieu. So, thank you, my kind friend. Jeanette and I are obligated to “randomly” repeat your act of kindness to someone else. Matter of fact, wouldn’t that be a good “virus” for all of us to catch?

Value of experience
Little engine that might
S
he Pentagon doesn’t want it. Defense Secretary Robert Gates says it’s unnecessary. Former President George W. Bush was against it, as is Barack Obama, who has threatened to veto a defense authorization bill that includes it. So why have so many House leaders voted for a $485 million “earmark” for General Electric and Rolls-Royce for continued development of an alternate engine for a military jet, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter? In a rare turn of bipartisanship amid promises to cut spending and trim the deficit, everyone from Blue Dog Democrats to members of the Progressive Caucus to the Republican Study Committee (RSC) approved funding the extra engine. What gives? From this, one might infer that those voting for the engine have done so irresponsibly. So goes the spin coming from Capitol Hill the past few days, compliments of Pratt & Whitney, the company that builds the engine currently being used in the Strike Fighter, under an exclusive contract that gives the company a monopoly. I was one of the media people targeted by the Pratt & Whitney PR machinery. An e-mail arrived in my inbox making the case for principles being compromised by congressional leaders. Included in the e-mail was the following information: Of the 32 RSC members who signed the “No Earmark” pledge, 17 voted for the engine fund ... There’s nothing terribly surprising about Republicans voting for a promarket, defense-enhancing item. On the other hand, at a time when cost cutting isn’t so much an option as an imperative, why not avoid duplication and spend development funds elsewhere — or not at all? Reading on: Twenty-three House members of the Blue Dog Coalition, who have vowed to cut spending, voted for the “earmark.” The same goes for 29 members of the Progressive Caucus ... Conspiracy theories abound. One popular among conservatives is that Pratt & Whitney is working with the watchdog group Citizens Against Government Waste to characterize those who voted for the “earmark” as spendthrifts liberated from principle. A screen grab of a pro-Pratt & Whitney ad produced by CAGW (http://tinyurl. com/2wn22hm) shows that it was paid for by Pratt & Whitney. The St. Petersburg Times reported that both parties said the “slip” was a mistake. Erin Dick, a Pratt & Whitney spokeswoman, told me in an e-mail that “as a matter of company policy, we do not disclose the organizations we support.” Other groups opposing the extra engine include Taxpayers for Common Sense, the Center for American Progress, the Project on Government Oversight and the Lexington Institute. There may be legitimate reasons to oppose the extra engine, but there is also another way of viewing the votes in favor. I like to call it the free market, where competition often leads to lower costs and better quality. The Government Accountability Office, which studied the issue, concluded that though the alternative engine program would cost significantly more than a sole-source program, it could in the long run reduce costs by as much as 12 percent. Practically speaking, there is also the real concern that having just one engine could compromise national security. ... Finally, though the funding is being characterized by opponents as an earmark, it is nothing of the kind. Under House rules, an earmark is a request to authorize or appropriate money to a specific entity or locality in a way that thwarts the competitive award process. Congress has been funding the second engine for years to ensure competition, and the Armed Services Committee has long supported this competition as a national security imperative on a bipartisan basis. Whether GE/Rolls-Royce or Pratt & Whitney can make a better engine or whether we need a backup engine is for others to determine. ... But nowhere does competition make more sense — and “spin” less sense — than with our instruments of defense.
ome years ago, the late New York Times and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist William Safire wrote a great column comparing politicians to plumbers. It was during one of those periods when (like now) experience had become a dirty word in politics and incumbency was a veritable curse. There was nothing worse you could say about someone than to call him a “career politician” — just what California Republican gubernatorial nominee Meg Whitman called her rival for the office only yesterday. Safire’s point was a simple one: Would you hire a plumber who’d never done any plumbing to fix your pipes? Why is politics different? If the plumber messes up, your toilet might flood or, worse, your pipes might burst. If the governor gets it wrong... Politics looks easy until you try it. This year brings an unprecedented number of newbies, who are, for all intents and purposes, looking to play their first game as a governor or a senator. They come out of ‘This year brings business or an unprecedented out of nowhere. Many number of newof them bies, who are, for defeated all intents and handpicked purposes, looking favorites in to play their first late spurts of sudden game as a goversuccess and nor or a senator.’ have never faced the sort of intense scrutiny that a general election campaign brings. Watch out. On her first day as the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in California, Carly Fiorina forgot lesson No. One: Always assume the mike is hot. This shouldn’t be a hard one for a woman who did loads of press as the CEO of Hewlett-Packard. But apparently, it was. If you’re wondering what Fiorina thinks of Democratic U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer of California, one of those career politicians, just check out the clip. She says what, according to her, “everyone” says: Her hair is “so yesterday.” And Whitman, according to Fiorina, should not be doing Sean Hannity, because he’s a tough interview. Actually, I think Hannity is a sweetheart, but even if you think he’s a tough guy, Fiorina proved that sometimes the toughest interview is the one where no one is even asking you questions. Every politician makes mistakes. It’s almost inevitable when every word you say is being scrutinized in a never-ending game of gotcha. Even the most disciplined guy in the game, President Obama, makes the occasional gaffe. But this year brings a host of candidates who are just not used to life under a high-powered and often distorted microscope. Already, Nikki Haley, who still faces a runoff for the Republican nomination for governor of South Carolina, has been forced to deny rumors of an extramarital affair. Sure, it should be no one’s business but her own. But in the wake of the sex scandal involving South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, you can forget about privacy. If it turns out that Haley did have an affair, she’ll be hung out to dry for lying. It’s not the sex, the gotcha crowd will say, but the lying. But the lessons offered by the plumbing analogy go beyond the business of getting elected. Ultimately, this isn’t a game. Ultimately, what matters is not winning but governing. People’s lives depend on it. The nation’s future depends on it. Politics is difficult; governing is hard. Learning lines, winning debates, scoring points against your rival — that’s tough, but not nearly as tough as getting things done once you’re in office. Many former business executives who end up in political office are literally shocked by how little power they have. They’re used to giving orders and having people follow them. Politics doesn’t work that way. Having years of experience often helps, at least as much as it does in plumbing. And the consequences of inexperience and mistakes can be much more dangerous.

Obama affordability M
y March 2008 column “Is Obama Ready for America?” started out: “Some pundits ask whether America is ready for Obama. The much more important question is whether Obama is ready for America and even more important is whether black people can afford Obama.” Let’s look at this. In 1947, Jackie Robinson, in signing a contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers, broke the color bar in Major League Baseball. In 1950, three blacks broke the color bar in the National Basketball Association (NBA): Earl Lloyd (Washington Capitals), Chuck Cooper (Boston Celtics) and Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton (New York Knicks). Their highly successful performances opened the way for other blacks to follow — peaking at 27 percent in Major League Baseball and 80 percent in the NBA. Without a question, the first blacks, relative to their white peers, in professional sports were exceptional. There’s no sense of justice that should require that these players be as good as they were in order to get a job. But the fact of business, in order to deal with racial hostility and stereotypes of incompetence, they had to be first rate and possess character beyond question. It was not only important for their careers, it was important for their fellow blacks. At the time the sports color bar was being broken, black people could ill afford stumblebums. Today, black people can afford stumblebums in several sports. In fact, black people can afford for the Philadelphia Sixers to put Williams in their starting lineup. Any person watching me mess up royally would have to be a lunatic to say, “Those blacks can’t play basketball.” The bottom line is that whether we like it or not, whether for good reason or bad reason, whether it’s fair or unfair, people make stereotypes, and stereotypes can have effects. In that March 2008 column, I said, “For the nation and for black people, the first black president should be the caliber of a Jackie Robinson and Barack Obama is not. Barack Obama has charisma and charm but in terms of character, values and understanding, he is no Jackie Robinson.” Obama’s electoral success was truly remarkable. It’s a testament to the essential goodness of the American people. A June 6-9, 2008 NBC News/Wall Street Journal

poll reported “that 17 percent were enthusiastic about Obama being the first African American President, 70 percent were comfortable or indifferent, and 13 percent had reservations or were uncomfortable.” President Obama, with the assistance of devious House and Senate leadership, has gotten a health care law enacted that the majority of American voters are against. According to a recent Rasmussen poll, 58 percent of voters support repeal of the health care law. Under the president’s leadership, the 2010 budget deficit will reach more than $1.5 trillion, about 10 percent of gross domestic product, the largest deficit since the end of World War II. We’re not that far behind the troubled nation of Greece, which has a current budget deficit of nearly 13 percent of GDP. Our national debt at $13 trillion is about 90 percent of GDP and budgeted to grow by $9 trillion over the next decade. On the diplomatic front, the Obama team is not doing much better, showing every sign of permitting a terrorist nation like Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. Early indications suggest that the Barack Obama presidency might turn out to be similar to the failed presidency of Jimmy Carter. That’s bad news for the nation but especially bad news for black Americans. No white presidential candidate had to live down the disgraced presidency of Carter but I’m all too fearful that a future black presidential candidate will find himself carrying the heavy baggage of a failed black president. That’s not a problem for white liberals who voted for Obama who received their one-time guilt-relieving dose from voting for a black man to be president, but it is a problem for future generations of black Americans.

STATE BRIEFS
Spill has sparked hike in shrimp costs By NICOLE NORFLEET Associated Press Writer
RALEIGH — U.S. shrimpers who comb seas unaffected by the oilslickened Gulf are raising prices as demand for their catch rises, bringing a potential — but bittersweet — respite from some tough years. “We are getting calls from buyers who haven’t bought from us in awhile and who are offering more money,” said Rutledge Leland, owner of Carolina Seafood in McClellanville, S.C. Fishermen in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Texas, whose waters have not been affected by oil, say prices for their shrimp have gone up as processing plants that normally buy Gulf seafood turn to other docks for their supply. Leland, who is also the mayor of the small fishing town, said the price for frozen shrimp has increased about 30 percent in the last couple of months, a jump he said was aided by the April 20 Gulf spill that has closed about a third of federal waters in the Gulf to fishing boats for fear of contaminated seafood. The federal government has declared fishery disasters for Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, which could bring emergency payments for commercial fishermen. While 90 percent of the shrimp consumed in

Shrimp boats carry oily booms as they help in cleanup operations of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill Friday in Bay Jimmy near Venice, La. the U.S. is imported from overseas, most domestic shrimp is caught in the Gulf. Fishermen who work outside the closed waters say they’re not pleased to profit from the misfortune spreading from the Gulf. “We rather see us win because we have the best product than by default because somebody went out of business,” said Sean McKeon, president of the N.C. Fisheries Association, which represents fishermen and their families. The price of wild American shrimp has plummeted over the years because of the recession and overseas competition, said John Wallace, who owns two shrimping boats in Darien, Ga. Last year, he took a $17,000 loss. Wallace, the marketing director for the Georgia Shrimp Association, said local shrimpers have been getting calls from buyers
who normally get their shrimp from the Gulf. If prices stay high, he estimated shrimpers in his area could make between $50,000 and $75,000 — helping some finally turn profits. “We as fishermen are eternal optimists,” Wallace said. “We keep telling ourselves that next year will be better, next season will be better, next moon will be better.” Craig Wallis, a shrimper who has seven boats in Palacios, Texas, said his prices are rising even though his shrimping season does not begin until mid July. Wallis said he only expects to have enough shrimp to provide to his regular customers, but calls from needy new buyers are already helping him. “We don’t have no excess to be sending stuff anywhere else,” he said. Despite the price spike,
it’s unclear if the trend will help the industry in the long run, said John Williams, executive director of the Southern Shrimp Alliance, an advocacy group. It’s not known yet how much the spill will harm the national supply, he said. “If we are down substantially, I’m sure importers will try to step in and take some of the market share,” Williams said. In some cases, they already have. James Clarkson, a chef at Clawson’s 1905 Restaurant & Pub in Beaufort, N.C., has started importing shrimp from Asia instead of purchasing from Gulf fishermen. The restaurant serves about 200 pounds of shrimp a week, he said. Since the spill, a 50-pound case of shrimp has jumped more than 60 percent in price. “As soon as they had the accident, prices went right up,” Clarkson said. “That cuts into the profits of our restaurant. It was killing us.” Doug Cross, owner of Grantsboro.-based seafood distributor Pamlico Packing Co., said potential profits for shrimpers from “panic buying” could be short-lived if restaurants determine their catch is too expensive and take the seafood off their menus. “It can fall off a cliff, crash,” Cross said. “Restaurants can’t afford up to so much for shrimp ... Somewhere there’s a ceiling.”
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.
Man charged in crash that killed motorcyclist ASHEVILLE (AP) — A North Carolina man has been charged with felony hit and run in a crash that killed a motorcyclist. The Asheville Citizen-Times reported that 22-year-old Aron Clifford Hallum turned himself in Friday and was also charged with driving with a revoked license. Police say 36-year-old Johnnie Nelson Faircloth Jr. of Asheville died when his motorcycle was hit by a car Friday afternoon. A female passenger on the motorcycle was injured, but those injuries were not thought to be life-threatening. Investigators say the driver of the car ran from the accident, leaving his car and two passengers. It was not immediately clear whether Hallum remained in jail or whether he has an attorney. A phone message left for a jail spokesman was not immediately returned Saturday.
Real estate development company sues former CEO CHARLOTTE (AP) — A North Carolina development company is suing its former chief executive. The Charlotte Observer reported Saturday that Crescent Resources filed the lawsuit in federal bankruptcy court in Texas last week. That court approved the company’s plan to exit Chapter 11 protection after almost a year. Crescent says in its lawsuit that former CEO Art Fields failed to work the full vesting period for a $2.4 million advance he was given to help pay taxes after he took an interest in the company
in 2006. The company says Fields left voluntarily in 2009 and refused to repay the money. The newspaper said Fields couldn’t be reached for comment.
Man in wheelchair hit, killed by car WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — North Carolina police are looking for an sport utility vehicle that witnesses say hit a man crossing the street in a motorized wheelchair. The News & Record of Greensboro reported that 57-year-old Ronald Lee Watson was found Friday lying on an onramp to U.S. 52 in Winston-Salem. Witnesses told police the silver-colored Chevrolet stopped briefly then continued onto the highway. Officials say Watson died at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.
State Bar rules lawyer can’t have female clients
RALEIGH (MCT) — A Fayetteville lawyer was banned from working with female clients after the N.C. State Bar found that he had inappropriate relations with several clients in the last few years. A three-person panel unanimously found that William E. Brown engaged in sexual relations with clients by touching them inappropriately and that he attempted to have sex with clients. Jennifer Porter, a staff lawyer for the State Bar, said Brown preyed on vulnerable women, counting on their circumstances to keep them quiet. She said his actions were “sickening and atrocious and cannot be tolerated.”

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.

Volunteers put up fences to get dogs off their chains By CLIFF BELLAMY The Durham Herald-Sun
DURHAM — A dog whisperer might tell you that Princess knew that better digs were the payoff for putting up with all the noise. The volunteers were in Princess’ backyard at a duplex at 1111 Fern St. to build her a fence where she can run and get exercise, removing her from her tether. Princess’ fence is one of more than 40 that Coalition to Unchain Dogs will build this weekend for more than 50 dogs. Some 75 volunteers will continue working today and until sundown Sunday to complete the fences. The Durham-based coalition built its first fence in 2007. Since then, the organization has expanded and has chapters in other cities in North Carolina, as well as Georgia, Virginia and Washington, D.C., said Amanda Arrington, director of the organization. As of Friday, volunteers from chapters in Chatham County, Greensboro, Raleigh and Charlotte had traveled to Durham to help build fences. Coalition to Unchain Dogs works directly with owners to convince them to give a chained dog a better living situ-

ation. In addition to the free fence, all dogs are spayed and neutered, and given an exam from a veterinarian. Organizations like the Spay-Neuter Assistance Program, Pet Overpopulation Patrol and others give the Coalition services at discounted rates, helping the Coalition to do its work, said Sheri Allen, who has volunteered with the Durham chapter for more than two years. At Friday’s fencebuilding, volunteers had to remove a disabled car out of the back yard to make way for fence construction. Volunteers pulled the car behind another vehicle using a cable, and also used brute muscle to move the vehicle. “This is the best we can do, but thank goodness we have a lot of muscle today,” said Allen. Coalition to Unleash Dogs was instrumental in getting Durham County to pass an antitethering ordinance. The ordinance, which also applies to the city, prohibits unattended tethering of dogs. The ordinance drew praise from volunteer Neya Warren, who directs the Charlotte chapter of the Coalition. “I think Durham is an example for the rest of the state
with this legislation, this ordinance,” she said. “I think all eyes should be on Durham.” Warren said the Charlotte chapter is advocating for a similar law in Charlotte, and she would like that law “to be a complete replica of the Durham ordinance.” The Coalition takes a non-judgmental approach to people who may keep dogs chained. In many cases, they may not have the resources to provide a better situation for the dogs. John Denardo, the outreach coordinator for the Chatham County chapter, talks to people who might need a fence. “Most of the people we approach ... really want to do well by their dogs,” Denardo said. Convincing the dog owners that the help is free can be a hurdle, but once that is cleared, they are usually grateful, and sometimes volunteer to build fences for other dogs, Denardo said. The moment the fence recipients see their dog running freely in a fenced space “is so moving and so conclusive ... that once they get to see that, they become big fans,” he said.

County budget OK’d by a 3-2 vote CARTHAGE (MCT) — The Moore County Board of Commissioners adopted its 2010-11 budget with some adjustments during a testy meeting this week. The board voted 3-2 to approve the $128.9 million budget that leaves the property tax rate unchanged at 46.5 cents per $100 valuation. The general fund, the major operating fund for a city or county, is $85 million. Chairman Tim Lea and Vice Chairman Cindy Morgan cast the opposing votes. The new budget is about $30 million less than the current budget, according to Jim Westbrook, the county’s interim budget finance director. “It’s quite a bit of reduction,” Commissioner Nick Picerno said Thursday. “Again, revenues are down, especially in sales tax. User fees are down.” The school system is budgeted for $25.2 million for current expenses and capital outlay. That’s a 2.3 percent increase over its current budget. The budget for Sandhills Community College is 3 percent less than its current budget. Tension between Lea and Picerno was evident during Monday’s meeting once Picerno suggested a different approach to present possible adjustments to the proposed budget. That came during County Manager Cary McSwain’s Power Point presentation on the five proposed changes. The board, according to McSwain’s method, would vote separately on each pos-
sible change. “Why vote on five different things when you can vote on one and then explain them?” Picerno interjected. Lea appeared upset over Picerno’s suggestion. “This is typical of politicians trying to push forward their agenda,” he said. — Fayetteville Observer

Boy describes struggle with fox that bit him ABERDEEN (MCT) — Talon Thomas says he learned a lesson in an encounter with a rabid fox. “Never run into a fox again,” the 11-year-old said Friday after returning from the second set of shots he is receiving to protect him from rabies. The encounter happened about 3:40 p.m. Tuesday as Talon was walking on Midway Road near Sycamore Street, Aberdeen police have said. “I was walking and he (the fox) came out of the woods and looked at me and bit me on the leg,” Talon said. He responded by grabbing the fox around the neck, choking it as he held it to the ground. The fox squirmed as it tried to get free. “I kept choking him harder every time he moved,” Talon said. A motorist driving by saw Talon struggling and initially believed someone had hit a dog, until he got closer and realized it was a fox and the boy had been bitten, police said. The man backed his vehicle over the fox’s tail until police arrived. They took the injured fox several feet away and shot it.

Father of Shaniya Davis speaks at awareness rally
FAYETTEVILLE — The father of a 5-year-old Fayetteville girl who was killed last fall and found in Sanford is raising awareness of sex crimes and violence against children. Shaniya Nicole Davis was reported missing from her home on Nov. 10. Her body was found in a patch of kudzu off a rural road near the Lee-Harnett County line six days later. Shaniya’s father, Bradley Lockhart, who has since moved to Alabama, was in Fayetteville on Saturday for Shaniya Speaks Day. The event at the John D. Fuller Recreational Complex on Old Bunce Road aims to prevent sexual crimes against children. “(We want to) try to unite the community into making a difference to where this horrific crime doesn’t happen to another child,” Lockhart said Friday. Audrey Ferrol did not know Shaniya, but said what happened to her hit home because she has two daughters around the same age. “It is sad,” she said. “I don’t know what I would do if something happened to them.” Ferrol was among the hundreds of people who attended Shaniya Speaks Day on Saturday. “This is an innocent child, I mean precious,” Ferrol said of Shaniya.

LOST AT SEA
Coast Guard to BP: Speed it up
Teen sailor healthy, safe after 3 days adrift
By JAY REEVES and RAY HENRY Associated Press Writers
ORANGE BEACH, Ala. — The federal government has given BP 48 hours to find ways to speed up its efforts to contain huge amounts of oil gushing from a ruptured well into the Gulf of Mexico, according to a letter released Saturday. Coast Guard Rear Adm. James A. Watson sent a letter to BP officials on Friday expressing frustration with the overall pace of the effort and ordered the company to identify ways to expedite the process in the coming says. “Recognizing the complexity of this challenge, every effort must be expended to speed up the process,� Watson wrote in the letter, sent to Doug Suttles, BP’s chief operating officer. BP has struggled with several efforts to contain the oil. The latest cap installed on the blown-out well is capturing about 650,000 gallons of oil a day, but large quantities are still spilling into the sea. Scientists have estimated that anywhere between about 40 million gallons to 109 million gallons of oil have gushed into the Gulf since a drilling rig exploded April 20, killing 11 workers and triggering the worst oil spill in U.S. history. The Coast Guard initially sent a letter to BP on Wednesday asking for more details on its plans to contain the oil. BP responded, saying

Large amounts of the oil battered the Alabama coast, leaving deposits of the slick mess some 4-6 inches thick on the beach in some parts. a new system to trap oil spewing from the well should be complete by mid-July. The new design meant to better withstand the force of hurricanes could capture nearly 2.1 million gallons of oil daily when fully built, the oil giant said. But Watson said he was concerned that BP’s plans didn’t maximize resources or “go far enough to mobilize redundant resources� in the event of an equipment failure or another problem. “BP must identify in the next 48 hours additional leak containment capacity that could be operationalized and expedited to avoid the continued discharge of oil,� Watson wrote. BP spokesman Jon Pack said the company received Adm. James Watson’s letter and will respond to it as soon as possible.

Also Saturday, President Barack Obama reassured British Prime Minister David Cameron that his frustration over the oil spill in the Gulf was not an attack on Britain, the British government said. The two leaders spoke by phone for 30 minutes Saturday to soothe transAtlantic tensions over the huge spill. Cameron also has been under pressure to get Obama to tone down the criticism fearing it will hurt the millions of British retirees that hold BP stock. Cameron’s office said the prime minister told Obama of his sadness at the disaster, while Obama said he recognized that BP was a multinational company, and said his frustration “had nothing to do with national identity.� Along the Gulf Coast, Alabama’s beaches took
their worst hit yet from an oil spill on Saturday as globs of crude and gooey tar — some the size of pancakes — lined the white sands. During a flight over the Gulf, Sean Brumley, an aerial spotter, said he saw an oily sheen and brown patches of oil floating for miles off the Alabama coast. Boats trying to remove the oil before it hit the coast worked about three miles out. “The Gulf looks like it has chicken pox,� Brumley said. The oily sheen covered the pass leading into Perdido Bay near the Alabama-Florida state lines. Globs of brown oil floated in the still water at a marina despite miles of boom that were meant to prevent oil from reaching inshore waters. Tony Tingle, of Trussville, said it was even

worse the evening before. “It was actually crude oil, not tar balls. All the cleaning crews flooded in. The skimming boats came in pretty quickly, helicopters were circling, and a bunch of boats came in. It smelled like a machine shop,� Tingle said. The beaches in Florida’s Panhandle were largely free of tar early Saturday — but signs of the fight against the spill were everywhere. Officials have said that two wide sections of the slick were just off the shoreline. The slow movement of the oil and constant preparations for its arrival were taking toll on beach residents. “It’s like waiting for someone to die from cancer,� said Greg Hall, who walks the beach each morning.
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Weary but healthy despite bumps and bruises, teen sailor Abby Sunderland was cheerful in a phone call home after being rescued Saturday from her crippled boat in the southern Indian Ocean, her parents said. “She sounded tired, a little bit small in her voice, but she was able to make jokes and she was looking forward to getting some sleep,� her mother, Marianne Sunderland, told reporters outside the family home in Thousand Oaks, Calif. The 16-year-old had to abandon her sailboat, Wild Eyes, when a French fishing vessel rescued her more than 2,000 miles from the western Australia coast, two days after she lost communication with her family and sent out distress signals. She will spend more than a week traveling to Reunion Island, a French territory east of Madagascar. “Crazy is the word that really describes everything that has happened best,� Abby Sunderland wrote Saturday morning in a blog post from “a great big fishing boat headed I am not exactly sure where.� “The long and the short of it is, well, one long wave, and one short mast,� she wrote. Sunderland had been stranded in heavy seas since Thursday, when she set off a distress signal after the mast collapsed.

ARKANSAS FLOODING
About 2 dozen still missing, 17 dead By JUSTIN JUOZAPAVICIUS
Hotlines set up for families of flooding victims
Associated Press Writer
CADDO GAP, Ark. — Rescue crews took to kayaks, horseback and ATVs at daybreak Saturday to resume the desperate search for about two dozen campers still missing after flash floods swept through a popular campground, killing at least 17 people. The pre-dawn Friday surge along the Caddo and Little Missouri rivers caught sleeping campers in and around the Albert Pike Recreation Area by surprise, leaving them little time to try to scramble in the darkness to higher ground and safety. The last person found alive was rescued late Friday morning. Arkansas State Police Capt. Mike Fletcher said there were about two dozen people still unaccounted for as of Saturday morning — a number far lower than some had feared. By one estimate, there were some 300 people in and around the campground when the floods swept through, and a call center fielded inquiries about 73 people who hadn’t been accounted for as of Friday night. Fletcher said authorities had identified 16 of the 17 bodies found, but that they wouldn’t be identified publicly until their families had been notified. There were children among the dead. The search was expected to take several more days, or even weeks, and anguished family members of the missing who gathered at a church in nearby Lodi on Saturday could only wait helplessly for word of loved ones. Some cried and embraced one another, and some held their head in their hands. Graig Cowart, the pastor of the Pilgrim Rest Landmark Missionary Baptist Church, said there were 24 people still unaccounted for Saturday morning, and that their families were worried sick.
CADDO GAP, Ark. — Arkansas emergency officials have set up a toll-free line for people to call if they are seeking loved ones after flash flooding along the Caddo and Little Missouri rivers. Callers to the Department of Emergency Management can only report someone missing. Operators do not have information about missing people. The number is (888) 683-2336. Rivers rose sharply early Friday, swamping camp sites in southern Montgomery County. Police said at least 17 were killed and that dozens are unaccounted for. AP photo
Damage to structures at the Albert Pike Campground in Caddo Gap, Ark. is seen Friday after a flash flood of the Little Missouri River. “They’re just devastated. The time for shock has probably gone and now it’s just anxiety building. They’re beginning to fear the worst,” Cowart said. Cell phone service and visibility from the air in the heavily wooded area are very poor, hampering search efforts. Portable cell towers were dispatched to the area in the hope that stranded survivors would be able to call for help. Crews on horseback and ATV returned to the craggy Ouachita mountains to look for possible survivors, as searchers in kayaks and canoes explored the tangled brush along the river banks for bodies. Debris hung from tree branches 25 feet above the bend in the Little Missouri River that the camping area straddles, and rock climbers searched the valley’s steep and craggy terrain. It would be difficult for someone to signal for help because of the rugged and remote nature of the area being searched, some 75 miles west of
Little Rock. Floodwaters rose as swiftly as 8 feet per hour, poring through the remote valley with such force that it peeled asphalt from roads and bark off trees. Cabins dotting the river banks were severely damaged. Mobile homes lay on their sides. Some described the quick rise of the water as a tsunami in a valley. Tabitha Clarke, a National Weather Service hydrologist in Little Rock, said Saturday that the wall of water that swept through the campground could have been higher than the 23.4 feet reported Friday because the valley in that area is so narrow. The nearest river gauge, some 4.5 miles downstream, showed a 20 1/2-foot rise in a fourhour period early Friday. “It would have been even worse where they were,” Clarke said. Authorities prepared for a long search effort and said bodies may have been washed away. The last body found Friday night — the 16th confirmed dead — was found some 8 miles down-

stream, Clarke said. Brigette Williams, spokeswoman for the American Red Cross in Little Rock, estimated that up to 300 people were in the area when the floods swept through. Forecasters had warned of the approaching danger in the area during the night, but campers could easily have missed those advisories because the area is isolated. Denise Gaines said she was startled awake in her riverfront cabin by a noise that sounded like fluttering wings. She saw

stream from the campground. “This is not a one- or two-day thing,” said Gary Fox, a retired emergency medical technician who was helping identify the dead and compile lists of those who were unaccounted for. “This is going to be a week or twoor three-week recovery.” The rolling floodwaters would have sucked debris — including bodies — under the surface of the Little Missouri River and could have pinned people beneath rocks and trees that line the banks of the normally docile
water rushing under the cabin door. “I thought it must have been an angel that woke me up,” she said. She woke up the six others in her cabin and started packing her things. Gaines, who lives in Baton Rouge, La., had been through violent weather before with Hurricane Gustav. “We could feel the cabin shaking,” said her fiance, Adam Fontenot. After the cabin filled with chest-deep water, the group clung to a tree and each other outside for more than an hour. Then the water dropped quickly, several feet in just a few minutes.

IMMIGRATION
Obama faces rare defeat on health care for jobless
Calif. island lands in storm of debate AVALON, Calif. (AP) — An island off the Los Angeles coast reluctantly finds itself in the middle of an international tussle over illegal immigration, and some leaders are blaming their own congressman for putting them there. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher flew by helicopter here earlier this month to confront a Mexican official who was handing out identity cards that nationals use in the U.S. to open bank accounts and cash checks. The GOP congressman said the IDs only help illegal immigrants establish a foothold in the U.S. Many island residents saw his visit as grandstanding, portraying their community as a haven for illegal immigrants and unnecessarily drawing them into a raging immigration debate that could harm their tourist-dependent economy. “Are there illegals on Catalina? Yes, there are illegals everywhere in the country. I don’t think we’re different than any other community,” said Wayne Griffin, president of the Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau. “Don’t grandstand on our island and somehow make us part of the problem,” he said. Business leaders say
grants to live in the U.S. and the program contradicted long-term strategy to combat illegal immigration. “The idea that we are making it more comfortable for illegals to be here ... it’s wrong,” he said. Rohrabacher said he learned about the Los Angeles consulate’s June 3 visit a day or two before from constituents. Flyers posted in Avalon, a town of about 4,000 people, advertised the consular event scheduled to be held at the Catalina Visitors Country Club, where the consulate held the same event in 2008 without controversy. Brad Wilson, chief marketing officer for Santa Catalina Island Co., owner of the country club, got a call from a Rohrabacher aide the day before the event asking if he knew he was aiding and abetting illegal immigrants. The congressman then sent a letter that suggested Mexico needed State Department clearance and that the city and country club were “unwitting participants” in a program to help illegal immigrants. Taken aback, Wilson withdrew the invitation just as consular officials were unloading computers and printers from a ferry boat. The city’s
Catholic church offered a room to rescue the event. Rohrabacher later conceded that State Department approval was unnecessary, saying his staff didn’t have time to research the question before the event. After his helicopter landed, he expounded on illegal immigration over breakfast with city officials and then walked a few blocks to church to confront Juan Carlos Mendoza, Mexico’s deputy consul general in Los Angeles, face to face. “We agreed that this would be decided between Mexico City and Washington,” Mendoza said. Consular officials said they issued 44 ID cards and 60 passports before they left. The episode has left a bitter aftertaste on the island, where some Mexican families trace their ancestors’ arrival to the era of William Wrigley Jr., the chewing gum magnate who bought the island in 1919 and brought his Chicago Cubs for spring training. Today, Avalon is a sleepy town where there’s a large supermarket, post office and movie theater. On many mornings, about a dozen Mexican day laborers gather outside a market looking for work.

‘Annie’ ends, but redhead’s fate uncertain
Biker James to be frequent court figure
CHICAGO (AP) — Talk about a hard-knocks life: She has been jailed in North Korea, kidnapped repeatedly, accused of murder, trapped in a cave, roughed up by gangsters. And she’s just a kid — more precisely, a redhaired girl named Annie. Over 86 years, the spunky (and forever young) orphan has endured hundreds of curly hair-raising adventures, not to mention homelessness, poverty and other Dickensian hardships. She’s even survived the death of the man whose pen and imagination turned her into a comicstrip heroine. Annie, the character, may be indomitable. But Annie, the comic strip, is not. Facing a shifting media landscape — the closing or shrinking of newspapers, a dwindling audience for comic adventures and an explosion of new forms of entertainment — Tribune Media Services has determined there will be no more newspaper tomorrows for Annie. After Sunday’s strip, Annie, her father figure and frequent rescuer, Daddy Warbucks, and her beloved pooch, Sandy, will disappear from the funny pages. They will have a future, but for now, where that will be is unknown. “Annie is not dying, she’s moving into new
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jesse James is getting his day in court. Quite a few of them, actually. The biker businessman and estranged husband of Sandra Bullock was a fixture in a Los Angeles courtroom this week, where he’s involved in dueling lawsuits with an apparel manufacturer and distributor. James, 41, is scheduled to testify and is expected to attend all the proceedings. The case, with millions of dollars on the line, is far from the only one James involving James. It is, however, one that centers on his business rather than his personal life. He is also embroiled in a custody dispute in neighboring Orange County with his ex-wife, Janine Lindemulder. James had been expected to attend a hearing in that case next week, but it may be postponed. There’s also James’ ongoing divorce from Bullock playing out in Austin, Texas. No proceedings have been scheduled in that case. Bullock filed for divorce in April after several women claimed they had extramarital affairs with James. He apologized to Bullock, but he and his attorney have maintained the vast majority of the claims against James are untrue.

Fewer than 20 newspapers ran the strip at the end — which, by the way, leaves Annie’s fate hanging as she remains in the clutches of a war criminal, the Butcher of AP photo the Balkans.

Pinchpenny and Mrs. Bleating Hart. The comic strip debuted in 1924 when Americans still were watching silent movies, Prohibition was a reality and a home entertainment center meant a radio the size of an end table. Annie expanded to the airwaves during the ’30s when families, looking for a respite from the Depression, tuned in to follow the exploits of a feisty girl who took guff from no one. Annie quickly moved beyond newsprint and radio, blossoming into a multimedia star: Comic books, movies, a doll and board game in her name, celebrity endorser (Ovaltine, anyone?) with her own decoder ring, and later, her own U.S. postage stamp. But her home base was the funnies. Annie was one of the first comics to use longrunning narratives, unlike the episodic single gags that dominated the funny pages at the time, says Jeet Heer, who has written introductions to five volumes of Annie comic colWANT MORE TV?

Mraz visits Ghana to help end slavery NEW YORK (AP) — While Shakira, the Black Eyed Peas and other top musicians are in Africa to help kick off the World Cup, singer Jason Mraz was on the continent for another reason: to help free slaves. The 31year-old Grammy winner was in Ghana this week with Free the Slaves, a nonprofit Mraz organization whose mission is to “end slavery worldwide.” Mraz spent five days in the country, traveling with James Kofi Annan, a former child slave who used to work on fishing boats and had been enslaved for seven years. Annan founded Challenging Heights, a school in Winneba where many of its students are former slaves. The children performed songs for Mraz. The singer also traveled to a rescue shelter for slaves in the town of Atebubu and to Lake Volta, where many child slaves are working, said Peggy Callahan, the organization’s co-founder and executive producer.

recognizes BP as a global firm. When the White House finally released its official statement, only one of the 10 sentences referred to the oil spill. It said the two men discussed the impact of the spill, “reiterating that BP must do all it can to respond effectively to the situation.” Minutes later, a senior Obama administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity to describe the private conversation, confirmed that the president had told Cameron “that our frustration has nothing to do with national identity” but focuses instead on “ensuring that a large, wealthy company lives up to its obligations.” The official said Obama told Cameron that BP “must meet its obligations to those whose lives have been disrupted,” and that the administration “will insist everything be done to cap the well, capture the oil, and pay for the cleanup, the environmental damage done and the tens of thousands of economic claims as a result of this disaster.” BP has been ordered by the U.S. Coast Guard to speed up its efforts to stop oil gushing into the sea off the coast of Louisiana. U.S. Coast Guard Rear Adm. James A. Watson sent a letter to BP officials on Friday expressing frustra-
tion with the overall pace of the effort and ordered the company to identify ways to expedite the process in the next 48 hours. Downing Street also said Cameron and Obama reaffirmed their belief in “the unique strength of the U.S.-UK relationship.” It announced that Cameron will visit Washington July 20, his first trip there since taking office in May. The warm words come after vocal criticism of BP by Obama, who has said he would have fired BP’s top executive, if he were in charge, and has supported the idea that the oil company suspend its quarterly dividend. In a sign the company feels the pressure, BP said Saturday that its board would meet Monday to discuss deferring its second-quarter dividend and putting the money into escrow until the company’s liabilities from the spill are known. BP said no decision had yet been made. Obama also has reproached BP for spending money on a public relations campaign and occasionally refers to “British Petroleum,” although the company years ago began using only its initials and is a far-reaching international corporation with extensive holdings in the United States, including a Texas refinery and a share of the Alaska oil pipeline.
UN reviewing Taliban, al-Qaida sanctions list KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Fueling momentum for a political solution to the nearly nine-year-old Afghan war, a U.N. committee is reviewing whether certain people could be removed from blacklist that freezes assets and limits travel of key Taliban and al-Qaida figures, the top U.N. representative said Saturday. Delegates to a national conference, or peace jirga, held this month in Kabul called on the government and its international partners to remove some of the 137 people from the list — a long-standing demand of the Taliban. “De-listing was one of the clear messages coming from the peace jirga,” Staffan de Mistura, the top U.N. representative in Afghanistan, told reporters. “The U.N. is listening to what the peace jirga is saying. Some of the people in the list may not be alive anymore. The list may be completely outdated.” A committee is expected to complete its review at the end of the month and give its recommendations to the U.N. Security Council, which will make the final decision on whether to remove any names off the list.

Cuba frees 1 political prisoner, transfers 6 more PEDRO BETANCOURT, Cuba (AP) — Cuba on Saturday freed a political prisoner who is confined to a wheelchair and began transferring six others to jails closer to their homes, part of a deal with the Roman Catholic Church and the most important sign yet that the government may be softening its hardline stance on organized dissent. Ariel Sigler, one of 75 activists, community organizers and journalists arrested in a sweeping 2003 crackdown, was released in his hometown of Pedro Betancourt in the province of Matanzas.

passed quietly Saturday with little more than a subdued Internet appeal by opposition leaders for supporters to speak out on the Web against government repression. Fearing bloodshed and calculating that it would gain them nothing, the movement’s leaders called off a day of mass protests, reflecting their increasing powerlessness against the government’s military muscle. Witnesses and the opposition reported a few isolated confrontations in the capital. “We have to expand social networks, websites, these are our best means,” said Mir Hossein Mousavi, a former prime minister who maintains he was robbed of the presidency through fraud in the June 12, 2009, election.

alking up to sign his son in for one of the physical exams given by Southern Lee High School on Wednesday, a Cavaliers football parent summed up the previous 24 hours succinctly — and perfectly. “Well, let’s see if we’re on the right track,” he said. Inside the Southern Lee gym, milling about to at once meet future players and their parents as well as size up potential members of his coaching staff, was freshly minted Cavaliers coach Tom Paris, who at dusk only the day before had been named as Southern Lee’s third head coach in as many summers. It’s been a whirlwind 2 1/2 years since Southern Lee stunned conference champion and No. 2 seed South Johnston in the state’s biggest upset of the first round of the playoffs. Mounting losses have gone hand-in-hand with abuse allegations and he-said, she-said bickering since the program’s signature moment. Caught in the crossfires have been the student-athletes who were once considered the foundation of a burgeoning program on the rise. With the constant chaos enveloping them, who could blame these kids for allowing football to take a back seat in their lives? One victory and two removed coaches now two years later, Southern Lee finds itself at a familiar crossroads again. A new coach is saying all the right things, parents seem willing to give the new guy a chance and a scouting combine has already been scheduled less than a week after the new hire. So then, where does everybody go from here? Good question, and one that will only answer itself in time. Because if there’s one thing that can be learned from the past two years, it is that no one can predict with any kind of accuracy what exactly is going to happen in regards to Southern Lee football. So there is no use in even trying. Events will unfold, and considering what the program has been through the last 24 months and 20 regular season games, one thing we can all probably bet on is that there will be struggles before there will be celebrations. That’s part

United States’ Clint Dempsey, center, celebrates after scoring during the World Cup soccer match between England and the United States Saturday at Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg, South Africa. The match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Dempsey’s goal gives U.S. 1-1 tie against England By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer RUSTENBURG, South Africa — The record will show it was a tie, but it was hardly that. One found renewed confidence; the other will feel the heat. The United States and England played to a 1-1 draw Saturday night in their World Cup opener, with the Americans rallying when Clint Dempsey scored on a blunder by goalkeeper Robert Green and U.S. goalie Tim Howard withstood a second-half barrage by Wayne Rooney and his celebrated teammates. Steven Gerrard put England
ahead in the fourth minute, blowing past Ricardo Clark to beat Howard from short range. But Dempsey tied it when Green fumbled his 25-yard shot that skipped off the ground twice. “I’m glad it’s over, there was a lot of hype and pressure,” Howard said. “I’m glad we put in a performance we can be proud of. But we can’t make too, too much of it.” Jozy Altidore nearly put the U.S. ahead late, but Green got a hand on his angled shot and it deflected off the corner of the goal. Howard, who needed treatment in the first half when Emile Heskey

JOHANNESBURG — Robert Green wrote his name onto the lengthening list of blundering England goalkeepers. Green let a routine shot from Clint Dempsey slip through his grasp for the Americans’ only goal in their Green high-profile World Cup opener, a 1-1 draw in Group C. From David Seaman at the 2002 World Cup and Scott Carson in a Euro 2008 qualifier to several gaffes by David “Calamity” James, England has a growing reputation for producing poor goalkeepers. Former star keepers such as Gordon Banks, Ray Clemence and Peter Shilton would likely have dealt easily with Dempsey’s low, left-footed drive in the 40th minute at Rustenburg on Saturday. Green was well-positioned as he went down to stop the ball, but it slipped off his gloves and rolled into the net to make it 1-1. He was visibly deflated after his horrendous mistake, which silenced the thousands of England fans. “I think it’s one of them freak things,” said England captain Steven Gerrard, who scored his team’s fourthminute goal. “I don’t think you can criticize the goalkeeper. They’ve been talking about the ball. I think he’ll

McCollum named CFV Player of the Year Senior nabs conference’s defensive award By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com SANFORD — In her final season with the Southern Lee girls’ soccer team, Annie McCollum left quite a mark on the program and in the Cape Fear Valley Conference. McCollum, a senior, became the first Lady Cavalier in the history of the Southern Lee girls’ soccer program to be named the conference’s Defensive Player of the Year. The midfielder earned a total of 21 points and at least half of the six first place votes needed from the league coaches to nab the honor. “I feel honored,” said McCollum, who graduated from Southern Lee on Thursday. “I was a little shocked at first, but it feels great. All the hard work I put into it for four years paid off and I am
very honored.” The Lady Cavaliers finished the season with an overall record of 5-9-2 and finished fifth in the conference. For the second time in the history of the program, the Lady Cavaliers did not qualify for the NCHSAA 3-A state tournament. “For the award to go to a member of a team that didn’t make the playoffs, that speaks volumes about Annie and her ability as a player and as a captain,” said Southern Lee head coach Burman. Burman, who nominated McCollum as a candidate for defensive player of the year at a coaches meeting, says that her passionate play on the field and her positive attitude off the field both played roles in helping her win the award. “She not only got the award because

Ford looking for breakthrough at Michigan
BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Greg Biffle spent some time at Ford headquarters on Thursday, taking each of the resilient automakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest toys out for a spin. The veteran NASCAR driver, while admittedly a little biased toward the company whose name is splashed across the grille of his No. 16 Roush Fenway Racing car, was impressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are building such great products while the other companies are trying to get back at it,â&#x20AC;?

Sports Posada snaps out of slump, lifts Yanks NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter homered twice, Jorge Posada snapped out of a slump with his first grand slam in nearly six years and the New York Yankees beat the Houston Astros 9-3 on Saturday. Javier Vazquez (6-5) pitched seven solid innings for his third straight win and fourth in five starts. Jeter hit a leadoff shot and drove in four runs for the Yankees, who roughed up struggling left-hander Wandy Rodriguez and beat Houston without ailing slugger Alex Rodriguez (right hip) for the second consecutive day. New York moved a seasonbest 16 games over .500 at 39-23 with its seventh straight home victory — also a season high. Hunter Pence and Carlos Lee hit long solo homers for the Astros, who had won three straight and eight of 10 before arriving at Yankee Stadium.

CHICAGO (AP) — Mark Buehrle pitched scoreless ball into the seventh, Paul Konerko drove in two runs and the Chicago White Sox handed Carlos Silva his first loss, beating the struggling Cubs 2-1 Saturday for their season-high fourth straight win. Konerko delivered a runscoring single in the first and another in the seventh after Juan Pierre stole second, avoiding the tag with a neat dive. Konerko is 20 for 42 in his last 12 games. The Cubs got a run-scoring single from Ryan Theriot off Bobby Jenks with two outs in the ninth, but he struck out Chad Tracy for his 11th save in 12 chances.

South Korea players celebrate after the World Cup soccer match between South Korea and Greece Saturday at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. South Korea won 2-0.
South Korea eases to 2-0 win over lackluster Greece PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa (AP) — South Korea opened the World Cup like it wanted to repeat its 2002 run to the semifinals. Greece looked like it was stuck in 1994. Lee Jung-soo and Park Ji-sung each scored and South Korea won 2-0 over lackluster Greece in Saturday’s first Group B match. “If we had been a little bit calmer, we could have had an even better result,” South Korea coach Huh Jung-moo said. “In terms of scoring goals, it could have been a little bit better for us.” Playing in its seventh consecutive World Cup — including its 2002 appearance in the semifinals, when it co-hosted the tournament with Japan — South Korea controlled the tempo from its first scoring chance on. Greece has only been to the tourna-
ment once before, in 1994. Back then, the Greeks let Argentina score just two minutes into the opening game. The Greeks improved this time around — by five minutes.
Argentina misses chances but beats Nigeria 1-0
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Even though Lionel Messi baffled Nigeria’s defenders, Argentina still had to sweat out Diego Maradona’s first World Cup victory as a coach. Gabriel Heinze scored on a diving header in the sixth minute, the only one of seven shots on goal Argentina converted in its 1-0 win Saturday. Heinze took advantage of weak defense to power in his header from 12 yards off Juan Sebastian Veron’s
corner kick. After that, it was nothing but missed chances for Albiceleste. “The team made good moves, but we ended up suffering. That’s the law of soccer,” Maradona said. “Thank God we won the game. “To begin a World Cup in winning fashion gives you a certain sense of calmness. The only thing that concerns me is that we won a big game.” The Nigerians struggled for much of the match to contain Messi, and striker Gonzalo Higuain also failed to convert three good chances. Critics say he rarely plays well for his country, but Messi — FIFA’s World Player of the Year — posed a threat to the Nigerians all day. “I felt comfortable,” Messi said. “We knew that Argentina had to show its class and I think we did.”
Red Sox 10, Phillies 2
BOSTON (AP) — Daniel Nava hit the first pitch he faced in the big leagues for a grand slam — only the second payer to do it — leading the Boston Red Sox to their second straight rout of the Philadelphia Phillies, 10-2 Saturday. Nava connected on a fastball from Joe Blanton in the second inning and shortly after being called up from Triple-A Pawtucket. Cleveland’s Kevin Kouzmanoff connected on the first pitch he saw Sept. 2, 2006, against Texas, according to STATS LLC. Only four players in big league history have hit grand slams in their first at-bat.
Garrigus takes lead at St. Jude MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Still recovering from a bout of food poisoning, Robert Garrigus got hot with his short putter and shot a 4-under 66 to break out of a pack and grab a two-stroke lead Saturday over Robert Karlsson of Sweden after three rounds at a steamy St. Jude Classic. It’s the first time the 32-year-old Garrigus has led a PGA Tour event by himself, and he surged to the top of the leaderboard with four birdies and an eagle against two bogeys to reach 11-under 199. Karlsson, who shot a 68, is within striking distance of becoming the first European to win this event — the tour’s third oldest dating to 1958.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Back home, Ronaldo is doing all he can to help Brazil win a sixth World Cup. Watching the tournament on TV for the first time in his career, the former striker is hoping to cheer up the Brazilian players in South Africa. He uses his Twitter account to comment on the national team, and sends messages of support to the squad. “My friends, 16 years ago, I felt what you are feeling now,” Ronaldo wrote. “It was the first of my four World Cups, and even though I was on the bench, it was a great thrill.” Ronaldo missed out on his fifth World Cup team after a lackluster season with Brazilian club Corinthians. He successfully recovered from the third serious injury of his career last year and was playing well enough, but a series of minor injuries recently kept him from excelling. “Even from far away,” Ronaldo said in his message. “I’m there with you. You can put another star in our jersey.” Ronaldo, the all-time leading scorer in World Cups with 15 goals, was one of the Brazilians who struggled four years ago when Brazil lost 1-0 to France in the quarterfinals in Germany.

of the rebuilding process, and to think Southern Lee will avoid some tough days ahead is naive. Like last season, the Cavaliersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; success on the gridiron is not likely to be gauged by the won-loss record. Maybe, though, part of it will be. No doubt that is a best-case scenario. No team wins big without having first won a little, and winning a little right now would be huge for Southern Lee and everyone involved. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the point right now, though. The point is that Page 1 of Southern Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest new era must begin immediately. Vitriol has been slung with little regard for personal feelings among many different parties over the last few months â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and years. There has been rampant criticism, the usual skepticism, and, perhaps at times, a lot less realism than the time period has called for.

Is Tom Paris the right man for the football job? No one can say for sure right now. Judging by the amount of work that needs to be done, even Paris said on Wednesday he felt a form of anxiety about the whole thing. Considering what the program and the community most closely associated with it has been through over the last couple of years, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually endearing to hear a little honesty like that. But to get honesty on a consistent basis, one must have trust. Trust is the bedrock of all things we do in conjunction with another in life, even those as basic as blocking and tackling on a football field. Paris seemingly coaches under a trusting philosophy, saying that the players must understand that they are accountable to each other first, and that the coaching staff will be accountable to them through preparation. Trust, of course, is only tested under adverse conditions, something Southern Lee football has already had
far too much experience with, much of it outside of the locker room. More importantly, it is something that can only be earned over time. And trust has been fleeting at Southern Lee. Constant change will do that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m disappointed that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to hire another football coach,â&#x20AC;? said Lee County Schools Superintendent Jeff Moss on Tuesday after Parisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hiring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the deal with any program, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an academic program or to have a solid school, you need consistency. And a revolving door is never what you want in any program, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the classroom position or in a coaching position. From that standpoint, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hopeful that Tom will stay with us and build the program.â&#x20AC;? Moss is right. And on the surface, it seems like such an simple equation. We all know it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

From the beginning of the season to the end, we made tremendous improvements. As a senior and as a captain, it was rewarding to see that. This team gave it 110 percent in every game and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for much more than that.â&#x20AC;? Burman says that McCollumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishment made him feel a little bit better about the team not making the postseason. He still wishes that the Lady Cavaliers couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish we could have

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our first winner of this award and it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gone to a better person.â&#x20AC;? McCollum is attending East Carolina in the fall and, depending on her course schedule, is planning on playing on the Piratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; club team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to stop playing,â&#x20AC;? said McCollum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely want to play for the club team and maybe play intramurals. With it being my first year in college, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to put too much on my plate.

We will be adding new patient rooms, new offices, great new rehab space, a new dining room, and fantastic outdoor spaces for our residents, employees, and families. Much effort has gone into this project by our landlords and general contractor, and we look forward to starting construction soon! All we need now are final permits and good weather!
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Miserableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kobe Bryant, Lakers ready for Game 5 BOSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers are headed to a pivotal Game 5 of the NBA finals, the latest big moment in basketballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest rivalry. The Celtics can move a win away from an 18th championship, and a 10th in 12 meetings with the Lakers. Kobe Bryant can inch closer to a fifth title, a chance to further cement his legacy. Have to love it, right? Not if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Bryant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m miserable,â&#x20AC;? he said Saturday. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of the Celtics, who guarded him well in the fourth quarter of their 96-89 victory Thursday that evened the series at two games apiece, and simply wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow him to be as spectacular as he was against Phoenix in the previous round. Game 5 is Sunday, and the Lakers expect to have center Andrew Bynum back after he played only 12 minutes in Game 4 because of a sore right knee. Lakers coach Phil Jackson thought Bryant looked tired in that game, and Bryant was even asked if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tweaked his knee. Combine that with all the talk of how well the Celtics have defended him, and suddenly those doubters that surfaced when Bryant looked so worn down late in the regular season are popping up again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they do,â&#x20AC;? Bryant said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They show up, disappear, show up, disappear. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of it.â&#x20AC;? He can silence them again with a big effort

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant walks up the court during the fourth quarter of Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics in Boston. The Celtics won 96-89. The series is now tied at 2-2. Sunday. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finals, when his against these Celtics, who own kids were calling him didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t flinch when they had â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grumpy,â&#x20AC;? Bryant said he to face Dwyane Wade in the hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been watching any first round or LeBron James coverage during the off in the second, and werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t days. So heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missed the fazed when Bryant scored highlights of Nate Robinson 30 in the Lakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seriesleaping onto Glen Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opening victory. back as those reserves Bryant managed only powered the Celtics down two field goals in the decithe stretch of Game 4. sive fourth quarter of Game But he may have heard 4, and Boston limited him some of the talk about to only one in the last 12 how well another reserve minutes of the previous â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tony Allen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the game. Celtics have contained him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want me so Boston coach Doc Rivers to beat them, so they put would like to quiet that three guys there,â&#x20AC;? Bryant chatter so Bryant doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find himself with even seen before, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just when more motivation Sunday. you win those games, like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Definitely thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one, Game 3, nobody talks but you also know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a about that because we take Game 5 and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-2. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t advantage of it. And if you think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything lose the game, everybody either one of us can say that talks about that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of is going to rile us up any the process.â&#x20AC;? more than being in a Game Moody but not as angry 5 in the finals tied 2-2,â&#x20AC;? Rivas he was during most of ers said.

Howard said. England must try to regroup as it seeks its first major title since winning the World Cup at home in 1966. The U.S., trying to rebound from first-round elimination four years ago, got a boost as it heads into first-round games against Slovenia on Friday and Algeria on June 23. While not a shocking win to match the 1-0 American upset over England at the 1950 World Cup in Brazil, the U.S. earned a huge single point in its quest to reach the second round for the first time since 2002. Both sides looked tentative and nervous in the opening minutes until England broke on top. Gerrard scored his 17th
goal in 82 appearances, bursting past Clark. Heskey had taken Glen Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throw-in and sent a through ball to Gerrard, who flicked it past Howard. Dempsey scored on a play very similar to the goal by Croatiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Niko Kranjcar that went in off Scott Carsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm and helped eliminate England from qualifying from the 2008 European Championship. Dempsey took several touches, spun around Gerrard and hit a dipping left-footed shot. The ball hit the field twice, glanced off Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right hand and went into the net for Dempseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 19th goal in 63 national team games. Dempsey also scored against Ghana as the U.S. was eliminated in 2006.
Green also got sympathy from U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard, whose string of saves helped his team get a point and earned him man of the match honors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel terrible for him,â&#x20AC;? the American said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got broad shoulders. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bounce back.â&#x20AC;? England supporters are used to epic errors from their goalkeepers. Seaman allowed a longrange free kick from Ronaldinho to float over his head for Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning goal in a 2-1 victory at the 2002 World
Cup. James let a long-range drive by Austriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Andreas Ivanschitz squirm under his body for the equalizer in a 2-2 draw in World Cup qualifying in 2004 after his team led 2-0. Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; habit of wildly racing out of his area has also previously been a common â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and scary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sight for fans. Paul Robinson went to deal with a routine backpass from teammate Gary Neville in a Euro 2008 qualifier in Croatia, but the ball hit a divot to bounce over his foot and into the net.

BRIDGE HAND
Husband won’t toe the line in controversy over checkout
HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate
Happy Birthday: This is a year to put your heart into what counts and what will influence your lifestyle, relationships and surroundings the most. Be definite about what you will and won’t do. Your greatest efforts should come from doing what’s best for your home, family and personal future. Your numbers are 5, 14, 23, 28, 31, 33, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Plan an outing that will challenge you mentally and physically. Take time away from the people and things that are bothering you. Romance will develop if you are receptive to the advances being made or if you hook up with someone from your past. 2 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Travel, education and networking will all play a role in the direction you take. The future looks bright if you are willing to do the work. There are no shortcuts, so don’t be fooled by an offer that sounds too good to be true. 4 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t rush or you will miss an important detail or point that needs to be made. Patience will be required when dealing with those older and younger. You can sidestep a lot of problems if you volunteer to help a worthy cause. 3 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Examine your current personal and professional situation and you will find a solution to anything that is bothering you. Your past experience will help you make the right decision concerning a loved one or your residence. Love, money and good times are apparent. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can make some serious cash if you invest in something serviceable and that represents a growing need. Someone you meet on your journey will spark your interest. Your leadership ability will draw attention and followers. 3 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Put your know-how
WORD JUMBLE
and some cash into helping others. Working toward a cause you believe in will bring self-gratification and new friends. Expand your interests and relationships. Equality will be the basis for a good working partnership. 4 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You don’t want to offend or get into a heated debate with someone you live or work with. An emotional matter will escalate, pushing you into a difficult, irreversible situation. Tread carefully. 2 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make social plans or take a day trip. You need to shake things up a bit and, by changing the way you live and do things, you will get a surge of new and innovative ideas that can turn into greater cash flow. 5 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You may feel inclined to put money into your residence or an investment that may not be sound. Before you make a move, ask someone you can trust. You may be craving change but, if it’s too costly, it will only lead to worry. 3 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): A property deal, move or renovations will turn out well and give you something you enjoy overseeing. Visiting a showroom or tradeshow will give you plenty of ideas. Emotional issues can be resolved with cash and a promise. 3 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Mix the old with the new and you will come up with something workable and maybe even profitable. Let others get things started while you invent and investigate what and how to move forward. You mustn’t overspend. 3 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take time to enjoy friends, family or your lover. Do things that you find interesting or that can help you improve your looks, attitude or knowledge. Money or a gift is coming your way. Set the evening hours for romance and you won’t be disappointed with the outcome. 5 stars
DEAR ABBY: I hope you can settle this. I was ahead of my husband — who was pushing the cart — in a grocery store. I found a checkout line that was less busy than the others and got in line. By the time my husband caught up with me, another man was standing behind me, so my husband stood behind him. I signaled my husband to go around the guy so we could unload the cart, but he felt that the guy behind me should go first. Abby, I did not race this guy to get there, and I felt my spouse could have said something like, “Excuse me, my wife is in front of you. Can I go around you?” I ended up giving the stranger (whose cart was full) my place and left the line to find another one, and I am peeved. Am I wrong? I was already in line, so I think that should have counted even if my husband didn’t get there before the other guy. This has become a huge bone of contention. — FEET HURT AND TIRED DEAR F, H AND T: Actually, I think you are wrong for expecting your husband to take the initiative when you could have done it. All you had to do was give the stranger a warm smile and say, “Excuse me, but the man behind you is my husband. Would you please let him in so we can check out and get the groceries paid for together?” Most people are courteous and would have agreed.
stand me up. Thank you for letting me get this point across for all insurance agency workers. — TICKED OFF IN TEXAS
Abigail Van Buren Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
❏ ❏ ❏ DEAR ABBY: May I address an issue that seems like a no-brainer, but apparently is not? I work in an insurance agency handling financial services. I can’t believe how many people make appointments and don’t show up. Our agency offers excellent service — after-hours and on weekends, as well as weekday appointments. When an appointment is made, we take it seriously. We don’t cancel if it’s inconvenient or we get a “better offer.” We don’t work for free, but we can’t charge you if you don’t show up. If you can’t make it, someone else could have your time slot. If you must cancel, please give us as much notice as possible. Let us know if you aren’t coming. Some courtesy is in order here. I don’t mind after-hours appointments, but I deeply resent being away from my family and having a client
DEAR TICKED OFF: You’re welcome. The common courtesy you’re asking for should not be reserved for employees of insurance companies, but for everyone. ❏ ❏ ❏ DEAR ABBY: I started dating a guy eight months ago. I’ll call him Gordon. A few months back he told me there is a woman living with him. I happen to be very much in love with Gordon. Now I’m confused about why he even started seeing me if he’s living with someone else. Gordon is 58 and I am 39. He swears he loves me. Am I being naive to believe there is a future for us? — TRUSTING IN FINDLAY, OHIO DEAR TRUSTING: Not necessarily. The woman could be a relative or a platonic friend who is sharing expenses. Ask Gordon if the three of you can have dinner together — perhaps at his place — and find out for yourself.
ODDS AND ENDS Minnesota government asks drivers to brake for turtles ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Why did the turtle cross the road?
Minnesota wildlife managers say it’s because turtles are trying to get from their winter homes to their warm-weather nesting areas. And the state Department of Natural Resources is urging drivers in Minnesota to give turtles a brake. Carol Hall, an agency specialist in amphibians, says many turtles are killed on roads each year, especially during the nesting season. The agency says drivers who see a turtle on the road should slow down and go around it. The department also says it’s best to let turtles cross unassisted. If it’s necessary to help, the department says to move them in as direct a line as safely possible. Minnesota has nine turtle species, some of which are protected.
Bear finds its way onto roof at Pennsylvania mall SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — A black bear that found its way to the roof of a mall in northeastern Pennsylvania has been removed. The 400-pound male bear apparently climbed onto the roof of the Viewmont Mall in Scranton after it searched for food in a trash bin early Friday. Scranton police responded to

MY ANSWER a report of a bear going through the trash around 2:15 a.m. When police put a spotlight on the animal, it climbed up a fence, got on the roof and began roaming around. Pennsylvania Game Commission officers were called. They climbed onto the roof and tranquilized the bear, then lowered it to the ground with a forklift. Officers planned to release the bear onto state game lands.

Can mom see me from heaven? Do you think people who’ve died and gone to heaven can look down and see what’s going on in our lives? My mother and I had a rocky relationship, and frankly it makes me nervous to think she’s still trying to run my life. — Mrs. P.C. Don’t worry; the only way your mother can keep running your life is if you let your memories of her control you. She no longer has any power to influence your life — not unless you let your resentment, or anger, or whatever other emotions you have left over from the past keep their hold on you. The Bible doesn’t answer all our questions about heaven — although some Bible students believe that those who’ve already entered heaven can see what happens on earth. They cite passages such as Hebrews 12:1: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” But listen: Your mother is no longer the same person she once was! On this earth she was imperfect and flawed — as we all are. But in heaven all those imperfections are stripped away, and we will be like Christ. The Bible says, “Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he (Christ) appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2).

PETS
Poll: Money huge consideration in pet care
LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When a vet told Nancy Gates that her dog Arabella had heart problems, needed surgery and it would cost $500, she had no choice but to put her pet down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was pretty straightforward because I had four young children to feed. The vet said surgery was my only option. I did not want my dog to suffer,â&#x20AC;? she said. Gates, 41, of Cotati, about 50 miles north of San Francisco, made that decision 11 years ago but said nothing has changed. She still couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford high-priced health care for her current pets, an 11-year-old cat, Cocoa, and a 9-year-old golden retriever Sadie. And Gates isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone. Money is a consideration for the majority of people when dealing with the cost of health care for animals, according to an Associated Press-Petside. com poll conducted by GfK Roper Public Affairs & Media. While most pet owners, 62 percent, would likely get vet care if the bill was $500, the percentage drops below half when the cost hits $1,000. The number drops to 35 percent if the cost is $2,000 and to 22 percent if it reaches $5,000. Only at the $500 level are dog owners (74 percent) more likely than cat owners (46 percent) to say they would likely seek treatment. In the higher price ranges, the two are about equally likely to seek vet care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grief gets complicated

Dr. Jane Shaw, assistant professor of Clinical Sciences and director of Argus Institute, with her dog Cliff, at the Argus Institute, Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Fort Collins, Colo. when we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do everything we would have liked to do for our animal,â&#x20AC;? said veterinarian Jane Shaw, director of the Argus Institute in the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colo. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially true in hard economic times, when spending money you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have on an animal can have a lasting impact on children, the mortgage, grocery bills, heating bills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Euthanasia is always sad but when finances have to be considered,
when you feel there is a possibility you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t or couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do the right thing, you feel guilty,â&#x20AC;? Shaw said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are at a point where we are talking about basic life needs or survival needs.â&#x20AC;? Terry Cornwell, 55, of Newport, Ore., has had to put down a couple of pets, but none was harder than a dog that was diagnosed with cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My income decides a lot of my expenses,â&#x20AC;? she said. So far, her current yearold cocker mix, Buddy, and her 8-year-old cat, Boo
Kitty, have had few health problems. Cornwell would do everything she could, but if a vet told her surgery was her only option and she had to have the money up front, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would be done. There would be nothing I could do about it.â&#x20AC;? Cornwell does worry, though. So do one in five pet owners who said they fret a lot about being unable to afford seeing a vet. Dog owners are more likely to worry than cat owners, and women and low-income people are among the biggest worriers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they start getting into expensive vet bills, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing I can do. I have no options. If you are talking about something like serious cancer, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting the animal through a whole lot of stuff thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iffy anyhow and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fair to them,â&#x20AC;? she said. About one in four people, or 27 percent, said pet insurance is a good way to save money on vet bills, though thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five times the number who actually carry insurance on their pets. Diego Negrete, 26, of Austin, Texas, has insurance on his 4-year-old fox terrier, Roxy, and his 2-year-old cat, Charley, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the minority. Ninety-five percent of those polled said they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have insurance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice cushion to have,â&#x20AC;? he said of the policy that covers all yearly shots and checkups for about half what they would normally cost. It also pays for part of the costs of different problems, he said, although he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know all the details.
But Negrete doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fear vet bills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not worried at all because the insurance would cover part of it and I am financially capable of covering whatever it costs,â&#x20AC;? he said. However, if you are looking upward of $5,000, â&#x20AC;&#x153;something must be seriously wrong,â&#x20AC;? Negrete said. He would have to look at how much the animal would suffer through the problem, and how the recovery could go. And he would want some assurance the pet would have a good life later. Negrete had a 14-yearold dog whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had a hernia removed twice. When it grew back a third time, â&#x20AC;&#x153;he was old and about done and he was in pain, so we put him down,â&#x20AC;? he said. Meg Fowler, 63, of Port St. Lucie, Fla., is a retired insurance agent, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so I know the risks.â&#x20AC;? If something catastrophic happened to leave her 10-year-old cockapoo, Jasmine, in a lot of pain, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would have to put her down,â&#x20AC;? Fowler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be much more humane. Jasmine is a huge part of our lives and we adore her. But she is a dog. It is hard to remember that, as much as I believe she has a soul.â&#x20AC;?
Before Jasmine, there was Max, another cockapoo. When he was 15, he got a brain tumor. Their vet helped them come to grips with a decision that no insurance could have cushioned â&#x20AC;&#x201D; euthanasia. For Fowler and her husband of 43 years, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the hardest day of our lives. We had no choice in that situation. There was no lifesaving surgery and the dog was way over his life span. It was a difficult decision, but it had to be done and we did it,â&#x20AC;? she said. When quality of life has diminished and there is severe pain and suffering, the time has come to start making decisions, Shaw said. In the final hours, it helps some people to share one last special time with an animal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a trip through a fast food drive-thru for a hamburger, a bath, a dish of homemade ice cream â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something familiar to the pet, she said. Some will take a hair clipping or clay pawprint to help build a bridge and foster the grief process. Others will arrange for euthanasia to happen at home so the pet can be surrounded by every member of the family,

Oldest leather shoe steps out after 5,500 years
WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; About 5,500 years ago someone in the mountains of Armenia put his best foot forward in what is now the oldest leather shoe ever found. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never be confused with a penny loafer or a track shoe, but the wellpreserved footwear was made of a single piece of leather, laced up the front and back, researchers reported Wednesday in PLoS One, a journal of the Public Library of Science. Worn and shaped by the wearerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right foot, the shoe was found in a cave along with other evidence of human occupation. The shoe had been stuffed with grass, which dated to the same time as the leather of the shoe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; between 5,637 and 5,387 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is great luck,â&#x20AC;? enthused archaeologist Ron Pinhasi of University College Cork in Cork, Ireland, who led the research team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We normally only find broken pots, but we have very little information about the day-to-day activityâ&#x20AC;? of these ancient people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What did they eat? What did they do? What did they wear? This is a chance to see this ... it gives us a real glimpse into society,â&#x20AC;? he said in a telephone interview. Previously the oldest leather shoe discovered in Europe or Asia was on the famous Otzi, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Icemanâ&#x20AC;? found frozen in the Alps a few years ago and now preserved in Italy. Otzi has been dated to 5,375 and 5,128 years ago, a few hundred years more recent than the Armenian shoe. Otziâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoes were made of deer and bear leather held together by a leather strap. The Armenian shoe appears to be made of cowhide, Pinhasi said.
Older sandals have been found in a cave in Missouri, but those were made of fiber rather than leather. The shoe found in what is now Armenia was found in a pit, along with a broken pot and some wild goat horns. But Pinhasi doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it was thrown away. There was discarded material that had been tossed outside the cave, while this pit was inside in the living area. And while the shoe had been worn, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worn out. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear if the grass that filled the shoe was intended as a lining or insulation, or to maintain the shape of the shoe when it was stored, according to the researchers.

Swamps help tile man stay afloat
Why we build houses
By JEFF HAMPTON The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk
CAMDEN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jeff Leitch was on the hunt. Carrying a chain saw over his shoulder, he carefully trudged through brush and along slippery logs in a cleared-out swamp near South Mills. After trekking about a quarter mile, he spotted a lone, leaning tree with a nice-size burl, a roundish wood growth. It would be perfect for his next furniture creation. If cut just right in segments 2 to 3 inches thick, burls make pretty tabletops. It was worth leaving the already treacherous logging trail to make his way to that burl. Leitch slipped into the black water and brown muck a couple of times, narrowly avoiding a shouted cuss word, but reached the burl, cut it and returned with his prize. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want something that looks different,â&#x20AC;? Lei tch said, his pants legs

is an old industry in Camden County. He uses whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m basically walking into a junkyard of trees and coming out with something beautiful,â&#x20AC;? he said. He and nephew Chris Leitch, who helps him, once swam out into the Pasquotank River to retrieve a log stuck in the mud and poking above the surface. They straddled it and paddled it out. Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; end sunk so far under the surface he was barely able to keep his head above water. Another time, a large tree fell on Leitchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot, injuring it so badly he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk. He cut a crutch from a nearby limb and limped his way out. It took a while. Dingo, his Australian cattle dog, loves to jump into the truck and go to the swamp. While Leitch looks for furniture pieces, Dingo searches for turtles and snakes. He once grabbed a water moccasin and shook it to death, Leitch said. A patch of matted hair on his head came from drips of epoxy after he laid under one of Leitchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tables in progress. Leitchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modest house is filled with his own furniture - a hat rack made of poplar, a coffee table of oak and a fireplace

mantel of cedar, to name a few. His backyard serves as his workshop. Stacks of logs, tables and chairs in varying stages of completion, chains and tools lie around the edges. He owns six working chain saws and bunch of others with burned-up motors. Off to one side is a cypress log nearly 4 feet in diameter and with enough growth rings to take it back possibly 200 years. It was sawn down a long time ago, he said. This one he had to haul out with his four-wheeldrive 2004 Toyota pickup jacked up high enough to look like a monster truck. A falling tree left a bad crack on the passenger side of the windshield. His other truck, a 1991 Chevrolet with more than 500,000 miles and still chugging, has a big round dent in the front where he accidentally ran into a massive tree trunk. Leitch has furniture for sale in front of a country store at the intersection of U.S. 158 and N.C. 343 in Camden. Tables, benches and chairs line up where the old gas pumps used to be. A logger bench in front of the City Wine Sellar Bakery, Deli and Wine Bar in Elizabeth City has become a favorite sitting place, said Deborah Malenfant, the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner. Leitch has also made a new burl tabletop and mounted it on a metal stand for the restaurant. Customers are constantly commenting on the pieces, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really does stand out,â&#x20AC;? Malenfant said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for him and good for me.â&#x20AC;? A tabletop cut from a cedar burl and base would sell for about $300. Leitch made a bed frame and sold it for $75. Similar bed frames on the Internet sell for $3,000, he said. Every single piece is unique. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will not be another one just like that anywhere else in the world,â&#x20AC;? he said.
S
everal months ago, I had a lady visit an open house, looking at the prospect of building a home. She came with two other women, who were there for moral support. You see, she had been through a divorce a few years earlier, and her credit had gotten messed up. The first time home buyer tax credit had piqued her interest and she was there to get more information. We saw several more homes, and I talked to her about her finances and encouraged her to apply for a loan through USDA. She did, but because of her past credit issues, she was denied. The people there encouraged her to continue to resolve her past credit issues, and to reapply in six months. We kept in touch with her, and to her credit, she was getting her credit repaired and obtaining documentation, expecting to work again with us this fall. As the deadline drew near for the tax credit at the end of April, we contacted her about another house that we had available. She liked it a lot. We decided to write a contract and for her to apply for a loan. If her credit had improved sufficiently, she could close by June 30 and take advantage of the first time homebuyer tax credit. If not, she could rent the house until she could reapply through USDA. I told her that I thought that there was no risk, she had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Soooo, the next week she had an appointment at Prime Lending. I went to lend support and answer questions. After a few min-

utes, I left the room so that they could discuss her finances privately. Moments later, I heard my customer yell, so I went back to see what had happened. They had checked her credit, and it was now well above the level needed to obtain a loan. Her diligence and persistence had enabled her credit score to improve 60 to 70 points. In a couple of weeks, she is going to move into her new home. What does this have to do with why we build homes? We build homes for a number of reasons. We need to make a living, for one. We enjoy the design aspects, and the process of construction. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to see what you do come to fruition as you complete a home. We really like the Energy Star process as well, as we believe that it makes for a much better home to live in, especially over time. Some builders like to build fancy homes. They like the challenge and the complexity, and the intricacies of a complex design. To me, though, there is nothing better than the yell I heard in the lenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office that day. You see, when a person or family overcomes adversity such as hers to buy a home, that home is way more than a place to live. It is the culmination of a lot of hard work on her part. It is also a new beginning, a chance to leave the heartache and headaches that came with divorce behind, to move forward in her life. To be a witness to that new beginning, and to have a small role in facilitating that, makes being a builder a pretty worthwhile endeavor.
When a person or family overcomes adversity ... to buy a home, that home is way more than a place to live.

More on Sabatino’s I was able to get in touch with Sabatino Pascarella, who is starting the Italian restaurant in downtown I wrote about in my last column. First and foremost, he wanted to emphasize that he is not connected with the owners of Café Vesuvio, even though he has worked at that restaurant for 10 years,. He is going it alone on at Sabatino’s, which will be located on the corner of Steele and Carthage streets in the old Makepeace Building, the former home of Café Toscana. Pascarella, 28, who is known as “Dino” to most people, said he has been in the restaurant business ever since moving to the United States from Italy 15 years ago, but this is his first venture into ownership. He said he plans to keep prices low and give downtown proper something it doesn’t have – a quick and affordable lunch and dinner spot. He’s going to have a bar as well, and daily specials. Down the road, he said, he hopes to have outdoor seating on the sidewalk across from the Temple Theatre for a more European-café feel, an amenity I think would surely be a hit. But he doesn’t have an exact date for opening yet. Like several other new restaurant owners I’ve talked to, he’s been held up by the extensive permitting process. He said he hopes to be open at least by July, though. “I was hoping to open in time for the World Cup, but no dice,” he said. “(The permitting process) has been insane.” New formal wear store Corrie Besaw’s My Sisters Closet Formalwear opened its doors on June 4, featuring formal gowns, designer wedding gowns and party dresses.

HOUSTON (AP) — BP is already fighting an oil gusher it can’t contain and watching its mighty market value wither away. Its own bumbling publicrelations efforts are making a big
mess worse. Not only has it made a series of gaffes — none greater than the CEO’s complaint that “I’d like my life back” — the company hasn’t even followed its own internal guidelines for damage control after a spill. Executives have quibbled about the existence of undersea
plumes of oil, downplayed the potential damage early in the crisis and made far-too-optimistic predictions for when the spill could be stopped. BP’s steadiest public presence has been the ever-present live TV shot of the untamed gusher. What BP has lacked, crisis management experts say, has
been much of a show of human compassion. “All crises are personal,” said Richard Levick, who runs a public relations firm, Levick Strategic Communications, that advises companies. “Action and sacrifice is absolutely critical.”

FOR THE LOVE OF CARS New automotive scholarship honors Lillington entrepreneur By KATHERINE McDONALD Special to The Herald
LILLINGTON — Troy Byrd loved the auto repair industry. For 52 years, he operated Byrd Garage, his auto repair business on East James Street, in Lillington. He finally retired at the age of 83, but the old Byrd Garage still stands next to the family home. Byrd, a native of Lillington, died in 2003 at the age of 87. At his funeral, it was said that he had many young friends because he was so willing to mentor them as they worked on their cars. Now, other young people who love to work on cars may receive help paying for their Automotive Systems Technology education at Central Carolina Community College thanks to the new Troy
Byrd Endowed Scholarship. His widow, Hazel, and longtime friends Reggie and Brenda Denney, of Eden, recently visited the college’s Harnett County Campus to announce the establishment of the scholarship with the CCCC Foundation. Reggie Denney is a past chairman of the board of the national Automotive Service Association, and a former president and vice president of the ASA-NC. He runs his own auto repair shop in Eden. “Troy Byrd was a good guy and a good friend,” Denney said. “He was an association person. I’m proud we’re able to continue his memory and his contributions.” Byrd had been an active member of the ASA-NC for as long as anyone could remember.
He had served in many positions, including executive secretary. Byrd was also a founding member and served as president of the Independent Garage Owners of North Carolina. He also served a term as president of the Rotary Club of Lillington. In recognition of his service to the ASA-NC, in 2002 the organization established a Troy Byrd Scholarship to help send North Carolina Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (now SkillsUSA) competition winners to the VICA national finals. In 2009, the ASA-NC chapter disbanded and Hazel Byrd was asked what she wanted to do with the scholarship fund. She requested that the money be used to establish an endowed

chool is out and family vacations will soon begin. Trips to the mountains or beaches are standard travel for most of us in central North Carolina because we are, yep, well-centered. It’s an easy drive, just two or three hours, to great destinations for weekend relaxation with plenty to see and do. Lee County is certainly near the center of N.C., although with modern satellite mapping data, the Town of Star in Montgomery County now boasts that it is the
exact geographic center of our state. Many of you remember when the Town of Sanford had license plates with a heart on it. Asheboro in Randolph County also has used the “center of NC” theme for its marketing purposes. Bragging rights aside, Lee
County’s central location is a definite plus. For much of our history, we were not a destination for visitors. Those passing through on U.S. 1 from Maine to Florida stopped here for a hot meal or a quiet room in one of our motels — remember the Jefferson, Lyons or Dutch Farm.

The best move for BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image, of course, would be to stop the leak. That has proved difficult enough, with one fix after another failing and estimates of the severity of the spill growing by the week. Failing a solution, Daniel Keeney, president of a Dallas-based PR firm, suggested putting CEO Tony Hayward in a hard hat and life vest, helping crews contain and clean up the spill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want to get him right in the thick of things, even if he looks somewhat uncomfortable doing it,â&#x20AC;? Keeney said. Levick suggested BP could have cut gas prices at its stations along the Gulf Coast â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a show of financial solidarity. BP has taken a stab at soothing angry Americans, airing a slick, multimillion-dollar national TV spot this week in which Hayward pledges: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will make this right.â&#x20AC;? Hayward also promised BP would clean up every drop of oil and â&#x20AC;&#x153;restore the shoreline to its original state.â&#x20AC;? President Barack Obama

said the money spent on the ads should have gone to cleanup and compensating devastated fisherman and small business owners. And even those efforts violate the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own prescription for damage control. Its own spill plan, filed last year with the federal government, says of public relations: â&#x20AC;&#x153;No statement shall be made containing any of the following: promises that property, ecology or anything else will be restored to normal.â&#x20AC;? On top of everything else, BP canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t figure out what to say about its dividend. Lawmakers in the U.S. insist the company must look after the devastated people of the Gulf before paying its shareholders. But in Britain, legions of retirees count on the steady payouts. And earlier this week when Wall Street freaked out over the prospect of billions of dollars in BP liabilities and sent its stock to its lowest point since the mid-1990s, the company response was positively tone-deaf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The company is not aware of any reason which justifies this share price movement,â&#x20AC;? the company
said early Thursday, after its stock was hammered on New York and European exchanges. Almost from the beginning, BP has been as unable to control its public message as it has the spill itself. Hayward was ridiculed for telling reporters â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like my life backâ&#x20AC;? earlier in the crisis, remarks the families of some of the 11 men killed in the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig felt were insensitive. He also suggested that the environmental impact of the spill would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;very, very modest.â&#x20AC;? Former Shell chairman John Hofmeister said it might have been more appropriate for senior U.S. executives of the company to take the heat. Hayward is an Englishman, and BP is based in Britain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was a mistake for Tony Hayward to come and put his physical presence in the U.S.,â&#x20AC;? Hofmeister said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The U.S. has its own culture and traditions. Foreign companies can come and do business there, but they are not necessarily welcomed.â&#x20AC;? BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief operating officer, Doug Suttles, an American, was rolled out for interviews, but his

aides grumbled Hayward was stealing the spotlight. Haywardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to present a video explaining BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;top killâ&#x20AC;? attempt took the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Louisiana command by surprise. As for Suttles himself, he insisted this week that there were no massive underwater oil plumes in â&#x20AC;&#x153;large concentrationsâ&#x20AC;? from the spill. To NBC, he offered that it â&#x20AC;&#x153;may be down to how you define what a plume is here.â&#x20AC;? The government had said three tests confirmed oil as far as three-fifths of a mile below the surface of the Gulf, at least 40 miles away from the site of the gushing well. Suttles also predicted the spill would be reduced to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;relative trickleâ&#x20AC;? by early next week. BP later sought to walk the comments back, saying the company was optimistic but that getting the spill to a trickle would take more time. By late this week, the government had reported that the spill was spewing the equivalent of the Exxon Valdez disaster into the Gulf every two weeks or less, with the catastrophe nearing the end of its second month.

Smart Investment Moves for Newlyweds June is a popular month for weddings. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting married this month, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot on your mind, but after the honeymoon is over, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to start thinking of the key activities of building a life together â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of which is creating a long-term investment strategy. To build such a strategy, you and your spouse will need to take several steps. Here are some of the most important ones: s Identify your goals. People can enter marriage at different stages of life. But whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a young newlywed or a baby boomer entering a second marriage, both you and your spouse will have a set of goals you want to achieve, such as saving for a down payment on a home, saving for college for your children, building resources for a comfortable retirement, purchasing a vacation home, supporting charitable organizations and so on. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that, as a couple, you identify those ďŹ nancial goals that are most important to you. s List your debts and assets. Generally speaking, the fewer â&#x20AC;&#x153;surprisesâ&#x20AC;? you and your spouse bring to a marriage, in terms of ďŹ nancial issues, the better. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already done so, put your debts and assets â&#x20AC;&#x153;on the tableâ&#x20AC;? so
youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both aware of what you owe and what you own. This knowledge will be invaluable when you begin making the investment moves necessary to achieve your goals. s Discuss your investment styles. You and your spouse no doubt share many traits, but you will also have some differences â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and one of those differences may be in your investment styles and preferences. For example, you may be an aggressive investor, while your spouse might be more conservative. What you choose to do with those differences is up to you. You could, for example, arrive at some common ground between your two styles and use that approach in your joint investment accounts. Then, for your individual accounts, such as your IRA or 401(k), you and your spouse can follow your individual investment styles. s Start an emergency fund. Of all the investment-related moves you can make early in your marriage, none may be quite as important as building
an emergency fund containing six to 12 monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of living expenses in a liquid account. Without this emergency fund, you could quickly go into debt or be forced to dip into a longterm investment if you have to meet an unexpected, and unexpectedly large, expense, such as a major car repair, a new appliance or a medical bill. s Get some help. If you can make the right investment-related moves right from the beginning of your marriage, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll almost certainly make your lives easier. But investing can be complicated, so you and your spouse could well beneďŹ t from getting assistance from a professional ďŹ nancial advisor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; someone who can help you create and maintain an investment portfolio thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate for your speciďŹ c goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. By making the right investment moves, right from the start of your marriage, you and your spouse may be giving yourselves a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wedding giftâ&#x20AC;? that may beneďŹ t you for years to come. So plan your moves carefully â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and enjoy your lives together.

Try forgiving yourself
I
n the late 1960’s I had the opportunity to preach in a series of revival services in a rural church in South Carolina. In a church member’s home where I had been invited to share a meal, the man in the house invited me to a private place where he could discuss a personal problem. He shared with emotion the details of an illicit liaison he had while he was stationed in France during World War I. He had carried the burden of this encounter on the inside of himself for half a century. I asked him if he had ever confessed this sin to God, and when he replied that he had done so many times, I asked him if He believed that God was willing and able to forgive sins when they are confessed. When he replied that he did, I said to him, “Then why don’t you forgive yourself.” It is often hard to forgive others when they say or do things that hurt us, but it can be just as difficult to forgive ourselves of things we have done to hurt others. Let us be clear: not all guilt is bad. The Bible teaches that one of the Holy Spirit’s missions is to convict people of their sin. When we come face-to-face with our rebellion against God and are brought to our knees in repentance, we open ourselves up to the forgiveness and grace that is available through Jesus.

WESLEY BEESON/ Sanford Herald
Geneva Sloan will be celebrating her 100th birthday on June 22. Sloan has resided in Lee County for a century and has seen many changes through the years.
Sanford native watched the city grow up in nearly 100 years By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com
SANFORD — When lifelong Sanford resident Geneva Sloan was growing up, she played with paper dolls instead of video games. She spent Saturdays walking around downtown, sometimes purchasing a phonograph record of her favorite musician. She paid 15 cents for a hotdog and five cents for ice cream. She has seen Main Street change locations and watched the size of a phone shrink from a large bulky box to a tiny digital device that fits

And when she celebrates her 100th birthday June 22, she will have seen a century in Sanford unfold before her eyes. “The county had just been formed about two years before (I was born), so I’m almost as old as the county,” Sloan said. She said she doesn’t think she’s lived the most exciting life, but her friend and former co-worker Joe Lawrence insists Sloan has been defying the norm for decades. “Back in those days, a woman did one of four
things,” Lawrence said. “She was a nurse, a school teacher, a secretary or a housewife.” Not Sloan. She studied business administration and accounting at Elon College, and right after graduation she landed a job at Heins Telephone Company. She did everything from sweeping the floors to keeping the books, and she was promoted to office manager when the company expanded in the 1950s. “She was all business,” Lawrence said. “She ran a strict office, but everyone loved her.”
Sloan stayed with Heins Telephone Company for 45 years, from the day she started working during the Depression until the day she retired. “At that time, you were lucky to have a job at all,” Sloan said. “I enjoyed it so much I just never made a change.” The only time off she took was to tend to her family. Her husband Jack fought in World War II with the National Guard, but he left on medical discharge. He died of leuke-

hile a student in college in the 70’s I was speaking to a fellow student about the Christian faith. He said that he didn’t agree with Christianity; in particular he disagreed with its “prudish” view of sex. He said that there
was absolutely nothing wrong with two unmarried consenting adults engaging in it and that Christians needed to “get over it.” I didn’t see it then but I see it now. Christians HAVE gotten over it and it is a deep shame upon the community of the saved. Not only have many believers adopted a more lenient view on pre-marital sex, but they have themselves been more likely to dishonor marriage and defile the marriage bed through
pre-marital and extra-marital relations. This “private” sin is now public as over half the births in Sanford (40 percent nationally) are to unwed mothers. Marriage is to be held in honor, not disdained and viewed as unnecessary and antiquated. Every study from every researcher, regardless of their political or religious persuasion, bears witness to the central importance of marriage

n Sunday morning, June 6 my husband Michael urged me to walk out by the pond where we had married a year ago and he handed me a card and small elegantly wrapped gift. The box contained a beautiful ring featuring a large amethyst stone surrounded by tiny diamonds. Michael had told the clerk at the jewelry store he wanted a big birthstone ring I could wear on my right hand to match the butterfly shaped wedding ring on the other hand. That was how Michael and
I started the celebration of our first anniversary. My gift of a gas grill that had not arrived yet paled in comparison to the romantic gesture he had rendered. After attending church services, observing the occasion with Michael’s parents Carol and Ann Yarborough and friends at a local restaurant, we attended a wake. Later, our anniversary celebration continued at the pond where Michael and I stood at the exact spot under two trees where we were pronounced husband and wife
and renewed our vows. Michael found the original script he had written whereas I created new ones. As we spoke from the heart we agreed again to let our relationship be the top priority in our lives. Since meeting each other on January 12, 2007 and quickly falling in love and becoming engaged Michael and I figured out that there are rules for creating a compatible relationship. Through the months we have

HEADACHES Within a matter of several weeks, the treatment my son received at Ammons Chiropractic ended his severe headaches. All through childhood, my son experienced occasional headaches, usually occurring suddenly, and sometimes severe enough that sleep provided the only relief. At age 15, he began to have headaches more frequently, sometimes several times in a day, and three to four times a week. Conventional medical blood tests revealed no clues, an eye exam and an MRI showed nothing abnormal, but the headaches continued. My son could feel a difference seconds after the ďŹ rst treatment, and within two weeks experienced no more of the debilitating head pain. He also has peace of mind instead of fear of a headache striking at any time. After seeing the beneďŹ ts to my son, I also received orthogonal treatment for neck pain and tightness, a sensation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;crimpingâ&#x20AC;? that I never seemed able to stretch out, and which had plagued me for probably 25 years. One treatment was all it took to relieve the neck tightness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and after a year, my neck remains comfortable and correctly aligned. Ammons Chiropractic personnel are consummate professionals, careful, methodical, gentle and absolutely committed to seeking solutions. Judith Edmonds Although we cannot guarantee results or predict how fast a patient will respond, Atlas Orthogonal care is profoundly effective in treating these conditions.

Bible Continued from Page 1C
and fidelity in establishing and maintaining strong families. And strong families are the greatest benefit to our society, in every aspect of community life. There are many reasons that the national attitude toward fidelity and marriage has changed. It would be easy to blame Hollywood or government or sex ed. curriculums, but the Bible speaks and makes it plain that the blame is to be laid squarely on the individual. It is an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice to dishonor
marriage and commit fornication or adultery. With the exception of the crime of rape there is no one being forced to engage in this behavior. Young men and women (and some older ones as well) are making this choice and they need to understand that it is harmful, very harmful. Hebrews 13:4 says that God will judge those who commit sexual sin. Consensual sex only means that the man and woman are agreeing to it, but God does not. He has not changed His word and He never will. Sex outside of marriage breaks the most holy covenant made between two people. Breaking that covenant
before marriage or while in marriage makes no difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fornicators and adulterers God WILL judge.â&#x20AC;? If you are uncertain that God judges infidelity I suggest you consider a few names from the Bible. Abraham and Hagar; Judah and Tamar; Samson and Delilah; David and Bathsheba; Solomon and his many wives; and the list could go on. These men and women paid high prices for their disdain of the marriage covenant and so will you my reader. The Bible speaks of honoring marriage and sexual purity. Time and society can disagree, but God overrules them.

mia in 1953 when their daughter, Gloria, was 6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She raised her only daughter herself, plus maintaining this very important job,â&#x20AC;? Lawrence said. In spite of that, Sloan still found time to be an active member of St. Luke United Methodist Church, the Wesleyan Service Guild, the Independent Telephone Pioneer Association and the Lee County Cooperative Extension. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just took it day-byday, and enjoyed every minute of it,â&#x20AC;? Sloan said. After she retired,
Sloan became a world traveler. She traveled throughout Europe, Australia, India and Egypt, breathing in the cultural experience and growing frustrated with a fellow tourist who only wanted to shop. She rode an elephant in India, and she rode a camel to the Egyptian pyramids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just put a dirty old sack over him and guided him,â&#x20AC;? Sloan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;? In her nearly 100 years, Sloan said her greatest experience was the birth of her daughter, and one of the most important lessons sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learned is to learn from the past and not worry too much about the future. As Sloanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100th

parent, despair over having had an affair, embarrassment over committing a crime, sorrow over a failed marriage, anguish over hurting another person. So often, the refrain is the same: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I seem to forgive myself? What do I have to do to feel forgiven?â&#x20AC;? Living under persistent personal indictment can have a corrosive effect on us, by keeping the pain of our yesterdays alive. It can eat away at our confidence and erode our selfesteem. It can drain away our optimism and leave us with a profound sense of discouragement. There are three cat-

learned many lessons about love, including: n Success in marriage is more than finding the right person: it is a matter of being the right person and acting lovingly in a committed relationship. Michael and I have discovered that to promote our positive connection we must blend individual needs and wants with our desires as a couple. n While the heroine in the romantic tragedy movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love Storyâ&#x20AC;? comments, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love means never having to say youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sorry,â&#x20AC;? I believe apologizes are very important. Sometimes Michael and I make mistakes in how we respond to each other and to situations so we do say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorryâ&#x20AC;? for any unsupportive behaviors. n Relationships require work and that means realizing that every day we must cooperate with our primary partner. In life some days are easy and fun. Some days are hard and challenging. If Michael and I focus on our love for each other we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get caught up in any negative circumstances around us and make every day enjoyable.
birthday approaches, her daughter will continue the tradition of bringing her a cake, and the women of St. Luke Methodist Church will host a celebration for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is a remarkable lady,â&#x20AC;? said Elizabeth Prestwood, Sloanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend and a member of St. Luke Methodist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been our mentor in Sunday school class because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been such a faithful member of this church.â&#x20AC;? Sloan said hitting the 100-year milestone isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something she could have prepared for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It snuck up on me,â&#x20AC;? Sloan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know exactly how I got here. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been enjoying every day.â&#x20AC;? egories of circumstances in which people find it especially difficult to forgive themselves: exaggerated reactions to mistakes, sorrow over wrongs committed in the past, and regrets over missed opportunities. If you have found difficulty in forgiving yourself for something you have done in your past, let Jesus Christ take you to a hill called Calvary. Standing before His cross, the ache and pain you feel as a result of yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mistakes will be lessened. They will pale in the shadow of that ultimate symbol of complete and eternal forgiveness. That is when you will finally be able to forgive yourself, even as you have been fully pardoned by Jesus.
When it comes to the meaning of marriage in this society and the blessing of life on this planet our greatest gift is loveâ&#x20AC;Ślove for ourselves, love for others, love for a higher power, and especially unconditional love for our mates. To know that there is one person in life who believes you are the most special person on the planet and loves you despite all your faults is a treasure greater than gold. Michael and I are very fortunate and look forward to many more celebrations of commitment and expressions of love.

6C / Sunday, June 13, 2010 / The Sanford Herald Past Clubs News Sanford Lions Club
One of Sanford’s most active programs for youth, the Sanford Area Soccer League, was the program topic at the weekly Sanford Lions Club meeting on June 3. SASL president Brent Sloan presented an overview of the league’s history here and its continuing growth. And no one knows it better than Sloan, since he started playing soccer at age four in the league and has been involved in the sport all his life. The league started in 1982 with soccer fields scattered around the county. In the early 1990s the Sanford Lions Club offered SASL a portion of the Lions Fairgrounds for a permanent play site in return for the league’s upkeep of the fields. This arrangement has been beneficial to both parties and Sloan said the excellent facilities have allowed the league to grow and prosper with the increasing interest in the sport. “We look forward to a long partnership with the Lions Club,” Sloan said. This year 538 youngsters are participating at some level in the soccer league from four-years-olds through teenagers. There are three levels of competition: Recreational serves the kids just out to have fun; Challenge teams compete with teams from other counties and cities; and the Classic level is the most competitive group. The under-14 age team this year, for example, advanced to the semifinals of the statewide tournament out of 48 teams before losing to a team from Fayetteville, Sloan said. Program chairman was Nick Novosel, himself a past SASL president. President Richard Hendley presided as well as led the Pledge of Allegiance. John Walden delivered the invocation. In club business, Avron Upchurch announced the South Central Region 4-H Day events will be held June 23-24 at Southern Lee High School and volunteers are needed to assist the N.C. Cooperative Extension staff. He said he looked forward to local Lions participating as the club and extension service are partners in sponsoring the annual Lee Regional Fair. Hendley urged Lions to attend the district 31-F awards night and officer installation in Hamlet on June 19. Guest Scott Bruce was introduced by Danny Duggins and given a warm welcome. Lion Clyde Womble won the 50-50 raffle drawing, proceeds from which will help fund the club’s 75th Anniversary celebration banquet in August. International Lions President Sid L. Scruggs, III, of Vass is scheduled to address the gathering.
Johnsonville Ruritans
The Johnsonville Ruritans held their monthly meeting on June 1 at the Community Center. There were 24 members and six guests in attendance. The meal was hot dogs and salads provided by Team C. Carole Davis was the speaker and talked about the “Vial of Life” that could help emergency personnel help anyone in a time of need. The vial contains important information about medications and conditions which could mean life or death in an emergency. Secretary Carol Battersby read the April minutes. The May meeting was the Beef Stew fundraiser dinner and no meeting was held. The minutes were approved as read. Treasurer Polly Bouldin gave the report and noted that the Beef Stew fundraiser netted more than $800 and there were 139 plates sold. Committee reports were given with Business and Professions chair Carole Davis discussing the calendar ads and whether or not the general membership wanted to be responsible for getting
ads again this year. Citizenship & Patriotism chair Tom Davis note several people had mentioned to him about how much they enjoyed the Memorial Day celebration. Environmental chair Louise Taylor gave the report on the amount of recycling the members had report for the two months (April and May) and the total amount for the year. Social Development chair Carol Battersby noted she had several openings for the Holder dinners, the scholarship checks were in and would be presented at the July meeting and the Teachers Appreciation would be a breakfast to be held on June 14. Under old business, President Larry Taylor read a thank you note from the Spout Springs Emergency Services for the dinner provided them earlier in the year. Bob Doberstein noted the Backpack Buddies were having a chicken dinner from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on June 10 and that he needed help the day before to clean the chickens and the day of the dinner to help deliver if a company ordered 10 or more dinners. He also noted that a local youth group had participated in Project “In as Much” and donated $400 in cash and about $700 in food to the Backpack Buddies. Under new business, President Taylor noted Mary Jane Heath of the Association of North Carolina Ruritans had passed away and the Board of Directors had voted to send a check to help with her medical expense. President Taylor presented Karla Pomilio-Hancock with a Ruritan Pin for all her hard work in designing a brochure for the club and for her handling the Sergeant-at-Arms duties. The club voted to accept the applications of new members John and Carol Schneider and George and Penny Chrisman. Polly Bouldin noted the club had in the past donated money to the Central Carolina Community College General Fund and asked for approval to do so again this year. This was approved. There being no other business, the club adjourned with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Exchange Club of Sanford The Exchange Club of Sanford convened on May 27 for its weekly meeting with club president Henry Stewart presiding. After the traditional Pledge of Allegiance led by Steve Stewart and the invocation given by Brian Crissman, club members and their guests were treated to the weekly meal. The main event of the evening was the raffle drawing for the $1000 gas card after club members sold raffle tickets as part of their fundraiser toward awarding annual scholarships to attend CCCC. Several guests were on hand for the festivities, including past scholarship award recipients Ginger Gibson, Carolyn McNeil, Courtney Crowson and Teresa Brown. Also on hand were CCCC Executive Director Diane Glover, as well as North Carolina District Exchange Club Director Daniel Wakeley and his wife Nancy. After each guest was awarded a turn of the raffle wheel, the ticket of Oscar Keller was drawn as the lucky winner of the gas card. President Stewart thanked corporate sponsor The Pantry for its contributuion as well as John Beverly Printers for its assistance in making the CCCC scholarship fundraiser a tremendous success. The Exchange Club of Sanford meets every Thursday at 7 p.m. at its clubhouse on Golf Course Lane. Club members are encouraged to bring a guest.

Lee County Genealogical and Historical Society The Lee County Genealogical and Historical Society met May 25 at the Lee County Library Auditorium. Tommy Prickett, owner and operator of the Fry-Prickett
Funeral Home in Carthage, spoke about local funeral customs. The first funeral home in Carthage was opened in 1886 by a Mr. Larkin. His business was on the second floor over a drugstore and harness shop. It then belonged to R.G. Fry Sr., starting in 1919. Shortly after that Fry was elected Moore County Sheriff. Prickett purchased the home from the Fry family in 1957. Fry-Prickett handled all the funerals there, both black and white, because it was the only funeral home in town for many years. Prickett gave an eye-opening comparison of costs of funerals, obituaries, grave opening and closing, and hearses over the years. He explained laws for body I.D. in case of another flood like Hurricane Floyd, embalming of a body for a cremation and depth of urns when buried.

Clubs Continued from Page 6C 1975, this plant employed over 1,000 people making lighting products for not only GM but several other automotive manufacturers as well. Since its peak, the plant has been on a steady decline and now employes less than 150. This particular plant was unionized and this was the subject of Wooleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk. Wooley was an hourly worker who rose withing the union (United Auto Workers) to the level of shop chairman in 1977 and served two years in this capacity. He was essentially the chief shop steward having all the other shop stewards in this plant reporting to him. A shop steward is an internally elected union official who represents the union and/or workers of a given department, section or area in matters that relate to the workers and management. He stated he did considerable traveling attending union conferences, seminars and get-togethers, including travel to Detroit several times as well as to a union compound located 70 miles north of Detroit for a special conference. This compound was quite luxurious and large and could accommodate dozens of other shop chairmen like himself as well as their spouses and children. At first, Wooley was a strong pro-union person. As his exposure increased to the inner workings of the UAW he became

increasingly disenchanted. His disillusionment began when he was required to defend and protect other union members who, in his opinion, were using the system to their advantage to gain benefits and special treatment when they were really non-producers. He concluded by saying that while unions in general do indeed provide workers with many benefits, they also have become very powerful and, in his opinion, very wasteful and political. The concessions committee reported that the parks at Southern Lee (referred to as Tramway ballparks) are going full steam and additional member support is needed for June 14, 15, 17 and 18, as one of the co-chairmen will be on vacation. They request that members sign up to cover these particular days as well as the Saturday games scheduled through the month. The games are anticipated to begin at 6 p.m. and end at 9:30 p.m. and Saturday games to last from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. There was a motion to dispense with the meeting on July 1 due to the July 4 holiday. This motion passed. The next scheduled meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. June 17 at the clubhouse.

Rumely, who was absent last week, announced that Nov. 11 is the date that the Chinese dance troupe from Jishou University in China would be performing ethnic art dance in Sanford. Peake surprised Dr. Bud Marchant with a Paul Harris Fellow award. For the program, Ed Terry (who has twice served as a guardian on Flight of Honor flights) presented a short video (complete with patriotic music from the branches of the military) documenting the recent Triad Flight of Honor, which transported three local WWII veterans, two of whom were present as guests, to Washington, D.C., for enthusiastic receptions by area crowds, a photo with U.S. Sen. Richard Burr, and a tour of the military memorials, including the WWII Memorial. This memorial features two walls, one representing the European Theater and the other representing the war in the Pacific. Four thousand stars are on the walls, representing the 405,000 Americans killed in the war. The special guest, Julian Mansfield, who is 93 years of age, served in the American Division (23rd Infantry) U.S. Army, which fought in New Caledonia, Guadalcanal and other islands in the South Pacific. Mansfield survived brutal battle situations as well as four bouts with

malaria. Another special guest, Clay Wilson, who is 92 years of age, served in the U.S. Army Air Corps, flying bombing raids into France and Germany. On his 13th mission, his plane was shot down and he parachuted from the doomed aircraft. A German fighter pilot circled him as he floated down, grinning and waving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Germany was winning then,â&#x20AC;? said Clay (February 1943). Utilizing his â&#x20AC;&#x153;escape kitâ&#x20AC;? (which contained water purification tablets and a map), he traveled by night, heading south for Spain. He finally appealed for help to a French farmer (using his high school French), who through intermediaries, connected him with a priest involved in the French Resistance. The biggest obstacle was convincing the French that he was really an American and not a German spy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from Harnett County, North Carolina,â&#x20AC;? he kept telling them. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe him at first, but they finally accepted him as not being from around there. He was then moved repeatedly, once riding on a train with Nazi soldiers, having shaved his head and pretending to be a deaf mute. After a high speed boat was sent from England to pick him up but missed the connection, he made it to the Spanish border. Wilson was briefly imprisoned in Pamplona, Spain, but someone from the U.S. Embassy in Barcelona sprung him and it was back to the states, where he taught escape innovation to soldiers for the rest
of the war. Now he serves as a volunteer at CCH. These two local heroes of the Greatest Generation were among hundreds of thousands of average men and women in the United States who were elevated by personal sacrifice and extraordinary circumstances to become the defenders and champions of a moral world order. Then they were discharged to go back home and lead ordinary lives again, which they did, rarely talking about their experiences, pursuing jobs and higher education and raising families to enjoy a higher standard of living and the freedom which we enjoy today. Alan Finlayson not only bagged the gopher, he won the raffle and got to close the meeting.

Debutantes presented at annual ball
SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Fourteen women were honored June 5 at the 48th Annual Presentation Ball sponsored by the Sanford Cotillion Club. Guests were greeted by Mr. James Conrad Kelly, Jr. and Mrs. Christian Albert Martin, the Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president and secretary, respectively, and their spouses. The Sanford Elks Club was transformed into a southern plantation setting with white columns, heavy greenery, red geraniums, green and white caladiums, and garden benches. As each debutante stepped through the white columns intertwined with greenery and down the red-carpeted steps, she was introduced
by Mr. Charles Keith Clifford, master of ceremonies. Each debutante wore a traditional long white gown and gloves and carried a bouquet of long-stemmed American Beauty roses. Once she was announced, each debutante circled the ballroom on the arm of her escort, who accompanied her to the center of the ballroom, where her marshals for the grand march joined her. Leader of the ball, Hayden Elizabeth Kyle Taylor, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Pinchback Taylor, was at the center of the cartwheel dance figure formed by fellow debutantes. As they surrounded her, each held an extended red satin streamer. After
forming the traditional debutante figure and dancing with their escorts and marshals, the Debutantes and guests danced to the Bill Bolen Band. Refreshments were served throughout the evening from a table covered with a Princess Anne-style fancy Battenburg lace tablecloth. Silver candelabras holding white tapers were used along with red roses, greenery and Queen Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lace. In addition to Taylor, other debutantes presented and their parents were: Katie Leanne Basinger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mikeal Reid Basinger; Bracey Campbell Bethea, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Phillip
Bethea; Brittany Lauren Chester, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Eugene Chester, Jr.; Catherine Paige Dalrymple, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Thomas Dalrymple; Hayley Wynne Dunham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Douglas Dunham; Elizabeth Morrow Feindel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Kibling Feindel; Logann Alanna Heckle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alan Wayne Heckle; Olivia Grace Mercer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Lee Mercer; Jennifer Margaret Norris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Edwin Norris; Sterling Katherine Stewart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Terry Leigh Stewart; Kaitlyn Nicole
Thomas, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mack James Thomas, II; Anja Ursula Wicker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pressley Alexander Wicker; and Virginia Robin Wilson, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Allen Wilson.
The co-chairwomen of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debutante season were Mrs. Thomas Clarke Hincks and Mrs. Richard Stack Wicker. The Ball marked the official end of debutante season.
