OBAMA ANNOUNCES FOURTH TRIP TO GULF

Struggling to show leadership in a crisis, President Barack Obama is embarking on a three-state tour of Gulf Coast states tainted by oil before speaking to the nation about the country’s worst environmental disaster and what to expect in the weeks ahead.

A video showing a confrontation between U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge (DLillington) and an alleged student in the nation’s capital went viral Monday, prompting nationwide reaction and an apology from the Democrat. The video first appeared with little fanfare on YouTube last week but received more attention on the website of Andrew Breitbart, a conservative Web publisher and former editor of The

SANFORD — The County of Lee Transit System will host two workshops today to discuss public transportation needs in Lee County. Attendees will get the chance to voice their opinions about what they think should be county transportation priorities, and the feedback will be used to help COLTS develop its new fiveyear plan. “It’s something the North Carolina Department of Transportation wants us to have for our communities,” said Sidney Morgan, Lee County transportation coordinator. “We want to look into the different aspects of transportation and see how we can mobilize our communities better.” The workshops will be led by representatives from Kimley-Horn and Associates, a Raleigh-based consulting firm that is helping COLTS determine the best options for meeting the community’s needs in a way that is financially feasible. “They’ll be doing some

Sanford driver charged in wreck that killed 5-year-old

LILLINGTON (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Sanford man is charged with driving while impaired after his car slammed into the back of another on N.C. 24/87 on Thursday, killing a 5-year-old boy. However, the charge will likely be upgraded after Highway Patrol investigators meet with Harnett Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district attorney, according to Sgt. V.E. Terry. Steven Ray Walden, 33, of Riviera Lane, was driving a 2010 Dodge pickup truck that slammed into the back of Lincoln Navigator stopped at a traffic light, causing a chain reaction involving three more vehicles, Terry said. It happened at 10:36 p.m. in front of the entrance to the Linden Oaks subdivision and a shopping center, Terry said. Walden is believed to have been traveling north at about 55 mph when he ran into the back of the Navigator that was stopped with the other vehicles for a red light, Terry said. Jaquel Parker of 232 Ellis Road in Lumber Bridge, who died from his injuries, was a passenger in the Lincoln driven by his mother, Shonda Parker, Terry said. Parker was wearing a seat belt but should have been in a booster seat, Terry said. State law says a child under 8 years of age or weighing less than 80 pounds must be in a booster seat, Terry said. Two older children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Krishonda Franks, 12, and Jakeria Covington, 14 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the vehicle were hurt, Terry said. Both were wearing seat belts, he said. Drivers and passengers in the other three vehicles suffered nonlife-threatening injuries and were taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, Terry said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fayetteville Observer

Bolduc, who supervises the Lee County patrol force, is retiring Friday. On that day, the Tramway Volunteer Fire Department will sell barbecue chicken plates for $7. All proceeds will benefit the N.

SHANIYA DAVIS

Girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father speaks at awareness rally FAYETTEVILLE (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Bradley Lockhart hinted Saturday that he was wrong to leave his children with relatives and others while he worked overseas, but cautioned people that placing blame â&#x20AC;&#x153;isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to move us forward as a society.â&#x20AC;? Lockhart was the keynote speaker at Shaniya Speaks Day, Keeping the Promise â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an event designed to honor the memory of Lockhartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slain daughter and bring awareness about violence and sexual crimes against children. The body of Shaniya Davis was found last November intermingled with deer carcasses and trash in a ditch just outside of Sanford. Mario Andrette McNeill, 29, was charged with raping and killing the child. Police say the 5-year-oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Antoinette Davis, prostituted the girl to pay a debt. Davis posted bail in February after she was charged with human trafficking and child abuse by prostitution. Lockhart said Saturday that Davis has not called him. Shaniya was taken from the mobile home where her mother was living, police have said. In October, Shaniya went to live with her mother while Lockhart went on a work-related trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the past 10 years, I have traveled back and forth to Iraq, traveled throughout this country, entrusting my kids with their grandparents, with my sister, with my ex-girlfriend, who is a wonderful person who we love very much and raised Shaniya to be a very, very special person,â&#x20AC;? he said. During his speech, Lockhart said he would not stand for negativity or placing blame. He said healing starts by being part of the solution and that the community needs to take responsibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are not going to join this team, get out of my way because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to run right through you,â&#x20AC;? he said.

City joins social network fray Sanford government seeks followers on Facebook, Twitter pages By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sanford, meet the Internet. Sanford government is the latest local agency to open up web communications through popular social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. City Manager Hal Hegwer said officials began testing out the platforms in recent days, opening pages that come with regular news announcements, meeting reminders and notices of job openings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty normal way to communicate these days and we thought maybe we might be able to reach a few more people,â&#x20AC;? Hegwer said. The social networking

sites Facebook and Twitter were already in use by Lee County government and the town of Broadway, as well as groups like the Lee County Economic Development Corporation and Downtown Sanford Inc. Hegwer said the Web connections have been in the works for months as staff wrestled with the best ways to communicate without overworking employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to pick and choose things that we can handle,â&#x20AC;? he said. As of Monday, the city had hyperlinks connecting to both the Twitter and Facebook pages on Sanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipal government Website, located at www.sanfordnc.net. The city began posting Twitter messages June 1, and currently has 86

WANT TO GO? Events this summer for the Lee County Library Summer Reading Program:

Continued from Page 1A

The library will also offer reading records to people of all ages. Library patrons can use the records to keep track of the time they spend reading, and those who complete their reading records are invited to a pool party on July 26 to mark the end of the Summer Reading Program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We usually make a big deal of how much time they spend reading to encourage them to keep going,â&#x20AC;? Gillis said. The library also encourages teen involvement through its Teen Advisory Board, consisting of 13 to 18-year-olds. The board sponsored a talent show in early June and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twilightâ&#x20AC;?-themed dance last December, and it assists in planning the Summer Reading Program. The theme of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make a Splash @ Your Library.â&#x20AC;? Each week, the programs will focus on a different aquatic topic, such as oceans,

Since the county started a YouTube channel, Lee has uploaded videos with tax tutorials and a public service ad promoting the use of seat belts. The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blog provides frequent reminders of upcoming events and government initiatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The department is putting some really good info out there,â&#x20AC;? Brinson said, adding he hopes to phase in announcements from various county departments in the future. Links to county networking pages can be found on the right panel of Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Website, located at www.leecountync.gov.

Next year, the Summer Reading Program will have a multicultural theme. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The Collaborative Summer Library Program) is just a great resource for people to share ideas,â&#x20AC;? Gillis said. Williams said she thinks one of the greatest benefits of the Summer Reading Program is to continue childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reading education between school years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always felt that, especially for younger kids, if they stop reading, they lose what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve built up throughout the year,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through novels, comic books or audio books, Gillis said the library just wants to show children that reading can be a fun activity and not just a homework assignment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here, our attitude is that we just want them to read and realize that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a joy to read,â&#x20AC;? Gillis said.

Opinion

4A / Tuesday, June 15, 2010 / The Sanford Herald

Editorial Board: Bill Horner III, Publisher • Billy Liggett, Editor • R.V. Hight, Special Projects Editor

Good luck to Broadway man on the big ride Our View Issue: Broadway man will ride from Key West to Alaska on a motorcycle

Our stance: We all need a little adventure in our lives from time to time. Good luck to Ronald Shaw on his journey

Sometimes we all need a little adventure in our lives. For some people, that adventure may be climbing Mount Everest. For others, it may be a trip to the mountains or the coast. For Ronald Shaw of Broadway, that “once-in-a-lifetime” adventure is to participate in the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge — a grueling trek from Key West, Fla., to the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. That, in itself, is quite a challenge — and an adventure. Add to the challenge that the bikers must carry all their supplies — and sleep in tents beside their bikes.

If that wasn’t enough, the 49-year-old Shaw has hemophilia, a 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. So, why would Shaw put himself through such a challenge? Why would he want to put himself at such risk? The reasoning sounds simple. As he told The Herald, “All my life, I’ve been told I can’t do this. And that’s why I’m doing this, because I can.” That comes from a person with children and grandchil-

dren, who ultimately would like to start a foundation to helping those with hemophilia. While Ronald Shaw’s adventure may be more than many others may wish to undertake, his desire to participate and succeed in this challenge is an inspiration to others who find themselves wishing to do as that train of storybook fame known as “The Little Engine That Could” — “I think I can.” Whether our challenges may not be in the same ballpark as Ronald Shaw, many people can appreciate his desire to succeed in this adventure. New adventures keep our

spirits youthful and gives us an opportunity to look forward to new horizons. The horizon for Ronald Shaw is huge. It’ll be an adventure of which the memories will live in his heart for years to come. Whether it’s an adventure past, present or future, we all have our dreams of things we’d like to see and do during our lifetimes. Here’s wishing Ronald Shaw the very best in his adventure to come — with thanks for having the fortitude to give others of us the refreshing thought of the spirit of adventure that lives within each of our souls.

Letters to the Editor State needs a Senate candidate like Cal Cunningham To the Editor:

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

Loving and hating revenue

ALEIGH — It’s an odd love-hate relationship, this thing between North Carolina legislators and the state Department of Revenue. Bring in the money that legislators love to spend, and it’s all kisses and hugs. Generate complaints about delayed refunds or unfair tax bills, and the arrows fly. ... Back in January, legislators cheered when the department and its secretary, Ken Lay, announced that it had collected better than $420 million in back taxes from multi-state corporations that had been shifting income to other states. The amount was $277 million more than had been budgeted, the result of companies settling up after Wal Mart lost a lawsuit over disputed taxes. Legislators were so happy with the result that they asked for more. The budget bills coming out of the House and Senate spent $110 million based on the stepped-up collections. The Senate budget bill contained another provision, though, that wasn’t quite so friendly to the department. The provision, put into the bill by Democratic Sen. Dan Clodfelter of Charlotte, would limit when the department can hammer taxpayers with 10- and 25-percent penalties for failure to pay their fair share of taxes. Clodfelter, co-chair of the powerful Senate Finance Committee, also filed a separate bill to do the same thing. He’s upset that Lay (no relation to the Enron guy) and his tax collectors are able to impose penalties, thanks to that Wal Mart decision, after forcing something known as a consolidated return. The consolidated return allows tax collectors to look at a company’s entire revenue stream, and then apportion North Carolina’s share of tax liability. Clodfelter argues that it is unfair to impose penalties because multi-state corporations aren’t required to file the consolidated returns until they are notified of a problem. They don’t know their true tax liability until the consolidated returns are filed. He compares the department’s practice to a police officer handing out speeding tickets on a road with no posted speed limit. Lay says the penalties are an incentive for companies not to hide income. And he makes another point that should concern legislators: “If this gets passed, that $110 million goes away.” The money is no reason for tax collectors to treat anyone unfairly, even giant, multi-state corporations that aren’t always viewed so favorably by the public. But corporations that shift income, typically to states that have no state income tax, have brought these circumstances on themselves. For years, internal documents have circulated around the Legislative Building showing how accounting firms pitch blatant tax dodges promising companies the ability to avoid millions in tax liability. And they are dodges, not legitimate deductions or charges. Wal Mart set up a real estate trust in another state, then used income earned here to pay rent to itself.

South Carolina politics

HARLESTON, S.C. — Stranger than South Carolina’s politics is the nearly nativist pride many take in its nasti-

ness. Not the good folks of the Palmetto State, but rather the politicos who work diligently to manipulate the sort of voters who, for example, would elect Alvin M. Greene to the U.S. Senate. Who? Good question. The Democratic mystery man who was nominated to run against Republican Sen. Jim DeMint seemingly materialized out of nowhere, without any evidence of having had a campaign. Greene, an unemployed veteran discharged from two branches of the armed services — and under investigation for allegedly showing lewd images to a University of South Carolina student (a charge he denies) — reportedly paid the $10,400 filing fee out of his own pocket. So strange is the emergence of Greene, whose numerous post-election interviews have gone viral on the Internet, that fellow South Carolinian and House Majority Whip James Clyburn has requested an investigation into his political rise. “Something was going on in South Carolina that was untoward. ... I couldn’t quite put my finger on it,” said Clyburn. Truer words. South Carolina Republicans, meanwhile, called for the resignation of state Sen. Jake Knotts for calling gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley a “raghead” a few days before the primary. The race was either the nadir or the zenith of high jinks politics, depending on one’s point of view. Let’s just say that the question “How low can you go?” isn’t strictly rhetorical around here. Knotts, who says he “could care less” what his fellow Republicans think (and won’t resign), insists the slur was a joke. More likely it was a strategic move to broach the religion issue and implant the idea in voters’ minds that Haley might be a Muslim. It was a calculated risk that in another political cycle might have served him well. Not this time. Racial and ethnic slurs today are political suicide in South Carolina. Haley shot to the top of the ticket, in spite of two men’s claims that they each had a romantic interlude with the candidate, a married mother of two. While the rest of the nation reeled in indignation — or guffawed at the Comedy Central punch line that South Carolina has become — natives shrugged. Thus it has always been. But why is that, exactly? When does it stop? More to the point, does anyone really want it to? Many invoke the famously dirty-dealing Lee Atwater, who apologized to some of his targets as he was dying of brain cancer. But Katon Dawson, the former state Republican chairman who was defeated by Michael Steele for national party head, theorizes that the state’s dirty politics can be traced to the American Revolution:

Kathleen Parker Columnist Kathleen Parker is a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group

“General Francis Marion, aka the ‘Swamp Fox,’ started it with untraditional warfare against the British by attacking, inflicting massive damage to the enemy, and then retreating into the swamps and backwoods of South Carolina. This is a part of our heritage that still goes on in modern political campaigns. ... We all have a little of the Fox in us — and proud of it.” Be that as it may, something shifted in South Carolina this time that has gone largely unnoticed. The big story, says Dawson, isn’t the alleged affairs, the ethnic slur or the mystery candidate. It is that voters rejected dirty politics-as-usual and the old boys’ club. Haley defeated a list of veteran politicians, including Attorney General Henry McMaster (who deserves an award for gentlemanly behavior). And down here in the Lowcountry, where the Civil War began, Tim Scott, an AfricanAmerican Republican, outperformed two of the most powerful names in the state’s political history for the 1st Congressional District seat — Carroll Campbell III, son of the late Gov. Carroll Campbell Jr., and Paul Thurmond, son of the late Sen. Strom Thurmond. Scott and Thurmond will square off in a June 22 runoff. Though Haley fell slightly short of the 51 percent needed to win the nomination, and faces Rep. Gresham Barrett in a runoff, she trounced her competitors in part because voters rejected the nastiness that motivated the attacks against her. For her own part, Haley told me that her biggest concern was that her attackers made her state look bad. “I want the country to know we’re not a bunch of ignorant rednecks down here. And the vast majority of South Carolinians do not think that way.” If this kind of thinking prevails, Jon Stewart may not have South Carolina to kick around for much longer.

Today’s Prayer ... the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you.” (I Corinthians 12:21) PRAYER: Help us, Father, to be cooperative to others, so the end result may be to Your glory. Amen.

North Carolina is about to embark on a senatorial runoff on June 22 for a candidate to represent the Democratic party. I think it is extremely important for all North Carolinians to focus on this race because it is going to be a race that has the potential to change North Carolina. North Carolina needs new opportunities and a new vision that will enhance its citizens economically. The candidate that has the vision to accomplish this is Cal Cunningham. Cunningham has fresh eyes and strong leadership that can help us reach this goal. Cunningham graduated with honors from UNC-Chapel Hill with a degree in political science and philosophy. Studying abroad, Cunningham received a masters of science in public policy and public administration from the London School of Economics. He was awarded a law degree in 1999 from University of North Carolina School of Law. Studying abroad to earn a degree is impressive. Think about it — not only was he able to achieve a degree, he also was able to accomplish this by adapting to British culture, the people and their traditional values. Cunningham’s international programs include the study of government in Thun, Switzerland, business and finance at the Carolina Business Institute and international law through the Duke University Asian American Transnational Law Institute in Hong Kong. His educational background demonstrates his ability to help reshape North Carolina’s future. Cunningham has a highly impressive and decorated military career. A captain in the Army Reserves, he received a bronze star for his efforts while in Iraq. He also received the Douglas McArthur Leadership award which represents duty, honor and country. Cunningham is a true American patriot. He realizes the citizens of North Carolina need economic security and stability. No longer can this state rely on the past economy of furniture, textiles and tobacco. No longer should people have to work two and three jobs to achieve their personal dreams. Everyone who is able and willing to work should have the right to have a job. His character is impeccable and his empathy for people demonstrates his integrity as a caring senatorial candidate. North Carolina has needed a candidate like him for many years. WALK LINDSEY Lexington

Runners plan to protest 751 development DURHAM ((MCT) — Opponents of the 751 South subdivision near Jordan Lake are holding a protest relay run Thursday from East Durham to the proposed development site near the Chatham County line. The route covers about 10 miles and, according to the sponsoring Durham People’s Alliance, demonstrates “the fatal flaw in the developer’s promise of jobs for Durham residents”Sou: distance from the inner city where unemployment is highest. The site, on N.C. 751 near Jordan Lake, is not served by public transportation. Opponents also claim the project, including up to 1,300 residences and 600,000 square feet of office and commercial space, could create an extra expense for Durham taxpayers by adding pollution to Jordan Lake. The city and county already face hundreds of millions of dollars in cleanup costs to rid the lake of excess nitrogen and phosphorus. Southern Durham Development Inc., which is seeking approvals to build 751 South, has so far refused to observe pending requirements for runoff control, which could leave the city responsible for retrofitting after the Jordan regulations take effect. — Raleigh News & Observer

young man claiming to be a student who says, “Hi Congressman, how are you? Do you fully support the Obama agenda.” Etheridge asks the man to identify himself, then appears to shove one of the cameras. After repeatedly asking the man, “Tell me who you are,” Etheridge grabs the young man by the wrist and appears to pull him closer by grabbing his neck. The video officially went “viral” Monday, garnering hundreds of thousands of views in its different forms on YouTube. The national attention led to a written apology by Etheridge Monday afternoon. “I have seen the video posted on several blogs,” Etheridge wrote. “I deeply and profoundly regret my reaction and I apologize to all involved.” In his statement, Etheridge said he’s always tried to treat people, regardless of their view with respect. “Throughout my many years of service to the people of North Carolina, I have always tried to treat people from all viewpoints with respect. No matter how intrusive and partisan our politics can become, this does not

justify a poor response,” he said. “I have and I will always work to promote a civil public discourse.” In a short news conference Monday, Etheridge reiterated his apology. “The truth is, I had a long day,” he said. “I’ve had bad days many times. It’s not a good crutch to lean on, and I won’t use that.” Ty Stumpf, chairman of the Lee County Democrats, defended Etheridge Monday by pointing out his quick apology and humility. “Anyone who knows Bob can attest he is a decent and hardworking member of Congress,” Stumpf said. “We support Bob ... and know that his work over the last 14 years in not overshadowed by this single incident.” According to the Associated Press, the video was posted on websites owned by Breitbart, a conservative Web entrepreneur who also released video of workers for the group ACORN counseling actors posting as a pimp and a prostitute, another video that raised national ire. Breitbart told the AP Monday he wanted to protect the name of the students in the video, and he has declined to identify them (in the video, the student’s face is blurred). He told the AP the two do not work for him, and they were not paid for the video. Etheridge, a seven-term

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING “Representative Etheridge has faithfully and loyally represented the Second Congressional District, and as anyone who knows Bob can attest, he is a decent and hardworking member of Congress. Representative Etheridge has apologized to the two unidentified men in the video for his actions, and I and the Lee County Democratic Party thank Representative Etheridge for his candor and humility in this matter. We support Bob Etheridge in his policies and know that his work over the last 14 years is not overshadowed by this single incident.” — Lee County Democrats Chairman Ty Stumpf “Congressman Etheridge’s actions are reprehensible. I can understand why Congressman Etheridge wouldn’t want to answer the simple question: “Do you support President Obama’s agenda?” He has voted FOR all of the

Congressman, is up for reelection in November against Republican newcomer Renee Ellmers, who won the GOP primary in May. Ellmers released a statement following Etheridge’s apology Monday, calling Etheridge’s behavior “unacceptable.” “If a teacher or principal treated a student this

High School, Holt will serve as a go-between for area farmers and the wealth of resources available at NC State and North Carolina A&T State University. He plans to encourage farmers to find innovative ways to make money from their crops, such as increased local marketing to tap the recent consumer interest in locally grown food. Long-term, Holt hopes Lee County will become an agricultural role model for the rest of the state — but as Holt begins contacting local farmers in his first week on the job, he expects to learn as much from them as they do from him.

Obama/Pelosi bills which are very unpopular with the taxpayers and voters in his district.” — Lee County Republican Party Chairman Linda Shook “Having been a college student, I can vouch that we are annoying, and, sometimes, our journalistic techniques lack subtlety. But that is no excuse for batting away people’s cameras and grabbing them.” — Washington Post blogger Alexandra Petri “We’ll leave to others the debate as to whether Etheridge was set up by conservative activists. As he acknowledged, his behavior was over the line. It’s interesting, however, that the video makes a point of saying that Etheridge was coming from a fundraiser hosted by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, a constant target of the GOP.” — Christian Science Monitor analyst Peter Grier

way, it would raise serious questions and he would be suspended,” Ellmers wrote. “Bob Etheridge needs to make a full, complete and candid public explanation for this behavior. His describing his behavior as ‘a poor response’ is not adequate.”

“Most extension agents learn more in their first year on the job than in their four years of education,” Holt said. For as long as he can remember, Holt knew he wanted to work in agriculture. Holt earned his bachelor’s degree from North Carolina State University in 2009. He will complete his master’s degree in crop science next year, researching agricultural issues such as cotton physiology and fertility. Farming is in Holt’s blood. His great-great grandfather was a tenant farmer in the foothills of North Carolina. The family migrated east to Lee County, where they settled and grew up to 17 acres of tobacco. Both of Holt’s grandfathers were in the business, and Holt grew up helping around

mapping and other things over the next six months to make a transportation plan for the county,” said Debbie Davidson, executive director of Lee County senior services. The workshops will begin with an open house and a presentation about the five-year plan, followed by large and small group question and answer sessions for the public to voice its most pressing transportation needs. “We don’t always know what needs are out there, and we need to be aware if there’s something we need to attempt to do,” Davidson said. Morgan said topics discussed at the workshops will likely include how public transportation could aid increasing traffic congestion, the possibility of weekend service and marketing COLTS services to the Hispanic community. While the Lee County Hispanic population continues to increase, Hispanics currently make up less than 2 percent of COLTS’ ridership. Hearing the public’s feedback on how COLTS can improve its services is important, Morgan said, because public transportation is a right he feels everyone deserves. “Transportation is so expensive, and it’s getting to a point that a lot of the passengers just can’t afford insurance or vehicles,” Morgan said. “I think everyone should be able to go to the grocery store or a medical appointment even if they can’t afford transportation.”

the family farm and working for local farmer Duane Jackson in the summers. “Sometimes when the other boys had other things to do, Seth would come out and work by himself in the heat of the day, and never complain,” Jackson said. “He knows what work is. Ask any businessperson: if you can hire a young man off the farm, you’ve got a good worker.” Holt weathered the mashed fingers and bruised skull that teach attention to detail while growing up on a farm — and learned to respect the men who earn their living that way. Farming requires organization, a range of skills from math to mechanics and knowledge of the latest mechanical, chemical and genetic technolo-

gies, Holt said. “They have to be a jack of all trades — and they really have to be a master of them all, too,” Holt said. For his second day on the job, Holt is already off to a seminar on plasticulture farming. As he settles in, he plans to begin outreach to local growers, and possibly organize workshops of his own on topics of local interest. And just because his day job involves a desk, doesn’t mean Holt will lose touch with his roots. In his spare time, Holt plans to continue helping on his family’s 70acre farm, now devoted to beef cattle, produce and hay. “Just to be in the wide open, away from the crowd, is very peaceful,” Holt said.

More passengers fly out of western NC airport

By EMERY P. DALESIO ASHEVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The number of people flying out of a regional airport in western North Carolina has increased dramatically in the past year, thanks partially to new nonstop routes. The Asheville Citizen-Times reported Monday the number of passengers departing from the Asheville Regional Airport in April jumped nearly 24 percent from the same month a year earlier. Officials say more than 29,000 flew from the airport that month. More than 10,000 additional passengers flew from the airport in the first four months of 2010 compared to the same period last year for an increase of more than 12 percent. Airport director Lew Bleiweis says the single biggest factor for the increase is the addition of flights by AirTran Airways and United Airlines.

Fort Bragg cleaning up contaminated water at base

Church ceiling falls, 12 people hurt

FORT BRAGG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fort Bragg officials are investigating the cause of a fuel leak from an out-of-service military truck at Camp MacKall. Fort Bragg spokesman Tom McCollum said in a news release Monday the baseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Environmental Compliance Branch began remediating the spill last week. The leak occurred about 100 feet from a lake on Camp MacKall. Workers recovered more than 1,000 gallons of a fuel and water mix from the ground. Army officials say the clay soil made cleanup easier. Workers expect to finish the recovery this week. Camp MacKall is 20 miles southwest of Fort Bragg. The base is used to train special operations soldiers. The North Carolina Department

HICKORY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A dozen people were hurt when part of a North Carolina church ceiling fell during worship services. Multiple media outlets reported part of the ceiling at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church near Hickory fell about noon Sunday. Hickory Police Lt. Bryan Adams says about 200 people were in church when some ceiling tiles in the back of the church fell. Sylvia Hewitt says she was sitting in the pews when she heard a loud boom. She says there was dust everywhere and people tried to run outside. Twelve people were taken to area hospitals. The Rev. Antonio Logan says most of them suffered head wounds and cuts.

AP Business Writer

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With companies hiring few workers in the prolonged recession, economic developers are trying to create jobs by offering tax breaks and other incentives they might not have a few years ago. Gov. Beverly Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration said Monday it had offered a division of Canadian auto-parts giant Magna International $1.1 million in state breaks to expand three North Carolina factories and add nearly 330 jobs. State officials agreed to offer the incentives as long as the company pays average wages of at least $30,017 plus health care and other benefits at the plants in Rowan, Catawba and Caldwell counties. That wage is below the local average of $35,048 in Rowan County and $32,500 in Catawba, according to the state Commerce Department. Caldwell Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average wage is $28,340. All three counties have unemployment rates higher than the statewide average. Caldwell

Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobless rate was 14.5 percent in April, the most recent period available. Catawba Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment rate was 12.8 percent and Rowan Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11.9 percent. Last month, state officials promised $127,000 under a different incentive program to a textile company that plans to pay workers about $2 above the minimum wage on average. Advanced Textile Solutions could collect the grant if it creates 127 jobs in Caldwell County paying an average of $19,000 per year. State job-hunters have generally dangled help from taxpayers to sway corporate decisions if the wages were above average, though that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t required by policy or state law. But these days, the options are fewer, Deputy Commerce Secretary Dale Carroll said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The level of competition today, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to say, is more intense than it has ever been,â&#x20AC;? he said. The jobs are nothing to sneer at for people who need them, said Robert Van Geons, executive director of RowanWorks, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

economic development agency. The county has lost about 5,000 jobs since 2006, and last fall county officials approved a $160,000 grant paid out over five years to tempt Magna into their expansion, Van Geons said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At $30,000 an average job, I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something many, many, many people would be happy to have,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very competitive wage, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to have any problem finding hundreds and hundreds of applications for that.â&#x20AC;? Magna Composites LLC now employs about 360 workers at its plants near Salisbury, Lenoir and Newton. The company is a division of Magna International, which operates 240 manufacturing plants in 25 countries. The company last year was set to buy German car maker Opel from General Motors before the U.S. company pulled the plug on the deal. Magna spokesman Scott Worden said the three plants produce a type of reinforced plastic parts for automobile exteriors. To get the type of

break the company received, a Job Development Investment Grant, it must vow that it would not have followed through with its expansion plans without the grant. A committee that decided Monday to approve the grant looked at a cost-benefit analysis and decided Magnaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansion plans were among the most beneficial to the economy of the communities and the state overall. The grant represents a portion of the individual income taxes paid by newly hired workers, and a company only gets the money after the jobs have been created, verified by tax authorities and approved by an oversight committee. That committee found on Monday that Danish insulin delivery manufacturer Novo Nordisk would not receive grant payments after falling short of its job-creation targets at its Clayton plant in 2008 and 2009.

Iconic statue moving to Fayetteville FORT BRAGG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fort Braggâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original iconic paratrooper statue is moving to its new home in front of a nearby military museum. The 3,000-pound

statue will be moved early Monday morning in front of the Airborne and Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville. Officials said they want the statue, affectionately called Iron

Mike, in place for the 70th anniversary of the Army Parachute Test Platoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first official jump. The statue was commissioned in the 1950s and dedicated in Sep-

tember 1961. It stood 15 feet tall and cost slightly more than $4,000. A new $250,000 bronze Iron Mike statue replaced the original in September 2005.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The two former FBI assistant directors who are investigating the state crime lab in North Carolina will be on the job for several more months. The state has extended the contracts of Chris Swecker and Mike Wolf through the end of the year. Attorney General Roy Cooper ordered the outside review of the State Bureau of Investigation crime lab after testimony at a groundbreaking innocence hearing showed lab reports didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always include all test results. The original 90-day contracts expired in June and paid each man up to $40,000. The extensions pay each up to $100,000 and were signed Friday. Wolf led an inspection team that fixed problems at the FBI crime lab in 1998 and 1999. Swecker was in charge of nine FBI divisions, including the science and forensic lab divisions.

Obama plans fourth tour of Gulf By ERICA WERNER

BP engineer called doomed rig a â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nightmare wellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Struggling to show leadership in a crisis, President Barack Obama is embarking on a three-state tour of Gulf Coast states tainted by oil before speaking to the nation about the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst environmental disaster and what to expect in the weeks ahead. Before the start Monday of a two-day trip to Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, the White House announced Obama would order BP to establish a major victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; compensation fund. When he returns to Washington on Tuesday evening Obama will use his first Oval Office speech as president to address the catastrophe. BP said in a statement that its costs for responding to the spill had risen to $1.6 billion, including new $25 million grants to Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. It also includes the first $60 million for a project to build barrier islands off the Louisiana coast. The estimate does not include future costs for scores of damage lawsuits already filed. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first three trips to the Gulf took him to the hardest-hit state, Louisiana. On Monday, Day 56 since BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leased Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded and unleashed a fury of oil into the Gulf, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flying to Gulfport, Miss. From there heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll travel along the coast to Alabama, where oil was washing up in heavy amounts along the shores Sunday in the eastern part of the state. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be met by state and local officials eager for him to show command, provide manpower and supplies and also tell the public that despite the catastrophe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crippling the fishing and tourist trades, many beaches are still open. The day includes a speech and a ferry ride to view barrier islands in Alabama where oil has come ashore. Obama has not taken to the water in his

The administration said early Monday that BP had responded to a letter sent over the weekend asking the company to speed up its ability to capture the spewing oil. In its response, BP said it would target containing more than 2 million gallons of oil a day by the end of June, up from about 630,000 gallons of crude a day now. High-range estimates from researchers advising the government say as much as 2.1 million gallons a day could be billowing from BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runaway well. Alabama Gov. Bob Riley planned to ask the president for more leadership and coordination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Essentially weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to manage this through a committee form, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a committee where any one member has absolute veto power,â&#x20AC;? Riley said on CBSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Face the Nation.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you can do that.â&#x20AC;? He said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to set priorities. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to implement a plan to achieve those

goals if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get through this.â&#x20AC;? Although BP is now siphoning off significant amounts of oil from its well 5,000 feet below the oceanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface, the leak wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be killed for good until relief wells are completed in August. At the same time more accurate estimates of the spill have brought the enormity of the disaster into focus. Already potentially more than 100 million gallons of crude expelled into the Gulf, far outstripping the Exxon Valdez disaster. Now the nation may have to settle in for a long, hot summer of oil and gas spewing relentlessly from the ocean floor, driving residents to anger and despair, ruining precious marshlands, and poisoning pelicans, turtles and other wildlife. For Obama, it is imperative that he try to help guide the country through whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to come. Obama will aim to accomplish that with his speech Tuesday and also detail specifics of the response to the oil spill, from cleanup to damages claims.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; BP took measures to cut costs in the weeks before the catastrophic blowout in the Gulf of Mexico as it dealt with one problem after another, prompting a BP engineer to describe the doomed rig as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;nightmare well,â&#x20AC;? according to internal documents released Monday. The comment by BP engineer Brian Morel came in an e-mail April 14, six days before the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion that killed 11 people and has sent tens of millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst environmental disaster. The e-mail was among dozens of internal documents released by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which is investigating the explosion and its aftermath. In a letter to BP CEO Tony Hayward, Reps. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and Bart Stupak, D-Mich., noted at least five questionable decisions BP made in the days leading up to the explosion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The common feature of these five decisions is that they posed a trade-off between cost and well safety,â&#x20AC;? said Waxman and Stupak. Waxman chairs the energy panel while Stupak heads a subcommittee on oversight and investigations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time after time, it appears that BP made decisions that increased the risk of a blowout to save the company time or expense,â&#x20AC;? the lawmakers wrote in the 14-page letter to Hayward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this is what happened, BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carelessness and complacency have inflicted a heavy toll on the Gulf, its inhabitants, and the workers on the rig.â&#x20AC;? The letter, supplemented by 61 footnotes and dozens of documents, outlines a series of questions Hayward can expect when he comes before Stupakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subcommittee on Thursday.

Arkansas flash flood victims count reaches 20

Huckaby said, her voice trembling. She said Sandra â&#x20AC;&#x153;did not suffer, and I did not sexually molest her.â&#x20AC;?

LANGLEY, Ark. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Crews on Monday found the body of a young girl who was the 20th victim of a flash flood that devastated a popular Arkansas campground, but they continued searching because it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear whether the girl was the last person reported missing. Officials had said earlier that they still were looking for a young girl missing from the Albert Pike Recreation Area campground. But State Police Capt. Fletcher said searchers werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure if the girl whose body they found was the same one reported missing by her family. Police will wait to announce the girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name until her identity is confirmed by dental records or DNA, Fletcher said. Dozens of people were feared missing after the pre-dawn Friday flood, but authorities narrowed their search Sunday to just one person known to have been camping at the Albert Pike Recreation Area. They said they believe many others first feared missing were camping in other parts of the state, without cell phone coverage.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Crews have rescued at least 50 motorists and residents after flash flooding washed-out roads and inundated neighborhoods in the Oklahoma City area. One boat carrying three rescuers to aid a 17-year-old girl clinging to a tree Monday sank in swift-moving floodwaters on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s north side. No injuries were immediately reported. Portions of three interstates and numerous thoroughfares in and out of the metro area were closed. Weather service meteorologist Forrest Mitchell says the area received showers and thunderstorms almost continually for the better part of six hours Monday morning. More rain was expected later in the day. About 6,700 homes and businesses lost power, according to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.

Teacher gets life for killing girl found in suitcase

Feds under pressure to open US skies to drones

STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Sunday school teacher who pleaded guilty to kidnapping and murdering a neighbor girl in Northern California made a tearful apology to the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family Monday as she was sentenced to prison for the rest of her life. The punishment came after Melissa Huckaby, 29, reached a plea deal with prosecutors that took the death penalty and the possibility of parole off the table in the killing of 8-year-old Sandra Cantu of Tracy, whose body was found in a suitcase pulled from an irrigation pond. Huckaby offered no motive for the 2009 killing as she addressed the girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Maria Chavez. The victim was a playmate of Huckabyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still cannot understand why I did what I did. This is a question I will struggle with for the rest of my life,â&#x20AC;?

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Unmanned aircraft have proved their usefulness and reliability in the war zones of Afghanistan and Iraq. Now the pressureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on to allow them in the skies over the United States. The Federal Aviation Administration has been asked to issue flying rights for a range of pilotless planes to carry out civilian and lawenforcement functions but has been hesitant to act. Officials are worried that they might plow into airliners, cargo planes and corporate jets that zoom around at high altitudes, or helicopters and hot air balloons that fly as low as a few hundred feet off the ground. On top of that, these pilotless aircraft come in a variety of sizes. Some are as big as a small airliner, others the size of a backpack. The tiniest are small enough to fly through a house window.

TONY AWARDS

E-BRIEFS

Film stars captivate and capture Tonys

NEW YORK (AP) — If you weren’t watching the Tonys too carefully, you would have thought they had turned into the Oscars. Sunday’s show was a night for celebrities and for the meaning of celebrity, when Academy Award winners Denzel Washington and Catherine Zeta-Jones took home their first Tonys, and when the most honored play, “Red,” was itself a meditation on art and commerce. Other familiar faces included Will Smith and Michael Douglas, Helen Mirren and Daniel Radcliffe, and “Glee” stars Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele. The line on Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers was that he gave her class and she gave him sex. So has been the dance of Broadway and Hollywood. Celebrities from Sean Combs to Julia Roberts have turned to Broadway when in search of serious work, while Broadway has welcomed the famous to ensure financial backing and boost the box office, especially when for many the recession makes highpriced theater tickets an unreachable luxury. But even with such star power, ratings were down for the show. The Nielsen Co. says the annual show celebrating Broadway’s best was seen by an esti-

That’s down 6 percent from the 2009 audience. The Tonys had some strong competition Sunday. The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers played in the fifth game of the NBA Finals, and HBO debuted a new season of its popular drama “True Blood.” Meanwhile, year-end figures from the Broadway League show grosses up but attendance down from last season, which had its own flurry of stars, including Radcliffe, Katie Holmes, John Lithgow and Kristin Scott Thomas. Stars not only have appeared onstage over the years, but behind the scenes as well, with entertainers such as Sean Connery (“Art”) and Jay-Z (“Fela!”) producing.

And even sports got into the act Sunday night, with New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez stepping out on stage at Radio City Music Hall. “Red,” which won the Tony for best play and five other honors, loomed as the dark, unanswered conscience at the bright lights ceremony, an anguished two-man drama about painter Mark Rothko and his devilish dilemma over whether to accept a rich commission for the fancy Four Seasons restaurant. Rothko couldn’t go through with it; the Tonys themselves were an ode to temptation. The awards show was skewed in a musical direction: Its business was clearly show business. “Welcome to the To-

nys,” said host Sean Hayes when it began — “the World Cup of show tunes.” He wasn’t kidding. A 13-minute opening number included segments from “Promises, Promises,” “Come Fly With Me” and other musicals, then finished in explosive style with punk rockers Green Day. The broadcast was packed with musical performances from nominated shows, including “Memphis,” the rhythm ’n’ blues musical set in the American South in the 1950s, which won four Tonys, including best musical. Even the hit TV series “Glee” got on the bandwagon. Morrison did a full-scale rendition of “All I Need Is the Girl,” from “Gypsy,” followed by Michele belting out a Streisand-esque version of “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” from “Funny Girl.” Zeta-Jones was a show herself, winning for best actress in a musical as the amorous actress in the revival of Stephen Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music” and earlier crooning the Sondheim standard “Send in the Clowns.” Sex was worked right into her acceptance speech. She thanked many, including her husband, fellow actor and Oscar winner Michael Douglas, who she “gets to sleep with every night.”

Doc charged in Jackson death to keep Calif license LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Jackson’s family sat solemnly across the courtroom from the doctor charged in the death of the pop legend, listening as a judge said MonMurray day he could not suspend Dr. Conrad Murray’s medical license in California and that it could take months for the case to go to trial. “I want to give this case priority,” Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor said. “It is a very serious matter for Dr. Murray, for the Jackson family and the community at large.” Pastor said the schedules of everyone involved in the case and the need for preparation time required that a preliminary hearing be moved back to at least Aug. 23, with a requirement to start within 60 days after that. A trial date can’t be set until that process concludes. Several members of Jackson’s family, including his father Joe, mother Katherine, sister LaToya and brothers Jermaine and Randy, attended the hearing. Murray sat expressionless beside his attorneys. Asked if he waived his right to a speedy preliminary hearing, the doctor quietly replied, “Yes, sir.” Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary

Judge: Coleman remains to be cremated after 2 days

PROVO, Utah (AP) — A Utah judge has ordered that Gary Coleman’s remains be cremated after 48 hours. Fourth District Judge James Taylor on Monday appointed an independent attorney to oversee Coleman’s estate and the cremation of his remains Coleman until a dispute between Coleman’s ex-wife and his ex-girlfriend is settled. Coleman’s ex-wife, Shannon Price, and his former girlfriend and manager, Anna Gray, both contend they are the lawful administrators of his estate. Gray is named in a 2005 will, and Taylor delayed Coleman’s cremation so she could travel to Utah from Portland, Ore., and see him one more time. Price is named in a 2007 handwritten note by Coleman that’s intended to amend any earlier wills. The note names Price as the sole heir. Coleman stated in his wills that he wanted to be cremated.

Charges dropped in Ga. Elton John threat case

ATLANTA (AP) — Charges have been dropped just before the trial of a Georgia man accused of threatening Elton John on the Internet and outside the singer’s Atlanta condominium. The case against Neal Horsley was dismissed by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Horsley Esmond Adams before a trial was due to start Monday. Horsley was apparently angered when John told an interviewer that he believed Jesus was gay. The judge said Horsley’s actions didn’t warrant criminal charges. The 65-year-old Horsley had been charged with making terroristic threats, criminal defamation and using the Internet to disseminate threats. Prosecutors say Horsley posted threats against John online and that he picketed outside John’s Atlanta property with a sign that said “Why Elton John Must Die.”

Kennedy was death threat magnet

WASHINGTON (AP) — For decades after gunmen shot down his brothers, Sen. Edward Kennedy lived under constant assassination threats of his own, sometimes chillingly specific, as he became a target for extremist rage, previously private FBI documents disclosed Monday. Five years after President John F. Kennedy was killed and shortly after Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was shot, one letter warned that the third brother was next: “Ted Kennedy number three to be assassinated on Oct. 25, 1968. The Kennedy residence must be well protected on that date.” Nearly two decades later, in 1985, the threats continued, this time including the Republican president as well as the liberal Democratic senator: “Brass tacks, I’m gonna kill Kennedy and (President Ronald) Reagan, and I really mean it.” Releasing 2,352 pages from Kennedy’s FBI file, many of them concerning threats over the years, the agency said on its website: “These threats originated from multiple sources, including individuals, anonymous persons and members of radical groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, ’Minutemen’ organizations and the National Socialist White People’s Party.” Some of the threats prompted investigations, some resulted in warnings to Kennedy or local law enforcement authorities. There is no indication any attempts were carried out. In 1977, the FBI even looked into allegations that Sirhan Sirhan — the man who assassinated

Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., listens during a 2008 hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington. Most of the secret FBI files on the late Sen. Edward Kennedy being released Monday concern death threats against the longtime senator. Robert Kennedy — had attempted to hire a fellow prisoner to kill Edward Kennedy. The prisoner, who was housed next to Sirhan for 18 months, told the FBI he was offered $1 million and a car but declined. President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. Robert Kennedy was slain in Los Angeles on June 6, 1968. Their deaths cast a long shadow on the youngest brother’s life, and prompted fears he, too, would be targeted by an assassin’s bullet. Indeed, Kennedy wrote in his memoir “True Compass” that after his brothers were killed he was easily startled by loud sounds and would hit the deck whenever a car backfired. He died last year at 77 after fighting brain cancer. Kennedy’s widow, Victoria Reggie Kennedy, declined comment on the document release through a spokesman.

Most of the documents released Monday are about death threats and extortion attempts against the Massachusetts Democrat. The release had been highly anticipated by historians, scholars and others interested in the life and long public career of one of America’s most prominent and powerful politicians. The Associated Press and other media organizations requested the documents through Freedom of Information Act requests. There is relatively little on a major controversy, Kennedy’s car accident on Chappaquiddick Island off the coast of Massachusetts that killed Mary Jo Kopechne, a young woman who had been a worker in Robert Kennedy’s campaign. The files do show that the FBI was told almost immediately of the accident and Kennedy’s involvement, but authori-

ties kept his identity quiet at the start. The Boston FBI office relayed word to Washington headquarters at 2:45 p.m. EDT on July 19, 1969, after being notified by Police Chief Dominick Arena in Edgartown, Mass. The advisory said that Kennedy — the vehicle’s driver — was uninjured. It also said, “Stated fact Senator Kennedy was driver is not being revealed to anyone.” Kopechne drowned after Kennedy drove the car in which she was riding off a bridge into a pond. He swam to safety, leaving Kopechne in the car. Kopechne, 28, was found dead in the submerged car’s back seat 10 hours later. Kennedy, then 37, pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident and got a suspended sentence and probation. In his memoir, Kennedy wrote that his actions on Chappaquiddick were inexcusable. He said he was afraid, “made terrible decisions” and had to live with the guilt the rest of his life. Kopechne’s death also caught the attention of the Nixon administration and one of the eventual Watergate conspirators. One file shows FBI Deputy Director C.D. DeLoach reporting an Oct. 17, 1969, call from John Dean, then assistant to the deputy attorney general. “He stated that both the deputy attorney general and attorney general are anxious to discreetly find out if Mary Jo Kopechne (deceased) had visited Greece in August 1968,” DeLoach writes in his report. John Mitchell was attorney general at the time.

Holloway’s father returns to Aruba for news of daughter ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) — Natalee Holloway’s father was back in Aruba on Monday, hoping the suspect in his daughter’s disappearance has provided local authorities with new clues since being arrested for the killing of a 21-year-old woman in Peru. Dave Holloway planned to discuss the latest developments with prosecutors and investigators at a meeting Tuesday, said Tim Miller, a friend and the founder of Texas EquuSearch, a group that has repeatedly searched for the missing Alabama woman since her disappearance in 2005. He had previously said they would discuss the case Monday but the meeting was postponed for unknown reasons. Miller, who is staying with Holloway in Aruba but not attending the meetings, said volunteers were ready to immediately resume the search if there is any new information from Joran van der Sloot, who was jailed Friday on charges of killing business student Stephany Flores on May 30 in a Lima hotel. Miller said the killing of Flores, on the fifth anniversary of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway’s disappearance in Aruba, opened up old wounds for the distraught father, who has been frustrated with the lack of progress by Aruban authorities.

She is among tens of thousands of minority Uzbeks who have fled the deadliest violence Kyrgyzstan has seen since the two ethnic groups fought over land 20 years ago as Moscow lost its grip on the former Soviet republic in Central Asia.

Archaeologists find WWII Italian ship sunk by British sub TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Using undersea scanning devices, archaeologists from the U.S. and Albania believe they have found the wreckage of an Italian ship that British forces torpedoed during World War II when Albania was occupied by Mussolini’s Fascists. The remnants — found just off Albania’s coast last weekend — probably were part of the 8,000-ton Rosandra freighter, which was hit by a British submarine on June 14, 1943, the team said on Monday, the 67th anniversary of the sinking. The vessel was located 260 feet (80 meters) beneath the surface of the Ionian Sea near Albania’s Karaburun Peninsula, 90 miles (140 kilometers) southwest of Tirana, the capital, during a survey of the country’s seabed that began four years ago. Expedition coordinator Auron Tare of Albania said the size of the wreck, and sonar images of two holes apparently caused by torpedo explosions, matched information from Italian and British sources on the Rosandra.

HOWARD CLEARED TO PLAY AGAINST SLOVENIA

IRENE, South Africa (AP) — U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard’s bruised ribs are improving, and he is expected to play Friday against Slovenia. U.S. Soccer’s medical staff decided Howard didn’t need further tests after examining him Monday, and the federation said he is making “substantial improvement.” Howard was injured in the 29th minute against England on Saturday when Emile Heskey slammed feet-first into the American’s chest at full speed. The studs of Heskey’s shoes caught Howard squarely in the ribs, and he writhed in pain on the ground for several minutes. Howard grimaced several times when play finally resumed and needed a painkiller at halftime, yet he remained in the game and made several big saves. The Americans play Group C leader Slovenia on Friday.

ncaa TEXAS TO CONTINUE PLAYING IN BIG 12 AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas says it is staying in the Big 12. Shortly after Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott confirmed to The Associated Press in an e-mail that the University of Texas had declined an invitation to join his conference, the Longhorns put out a statement saying they would “continue competing in the Big 12.” Oklahoma and Texas A&M also say they will stay in the Big 12, which on Friday seemed in danger of falling apart after Nebraska and Colorado both decided to leave over the next two years. Texas president William Powers Jr. wouldn’t give any details about why the school decided to stay put when asked by the AP. The school has scheduled a news conference for Tuesday morning.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Vince Young has apologized to the Tennessee Titans, his teammates, his family and fans for his role in a fight at a Dallas strip club. The quarterback said Monday he made a mistake being at the club. Young, in Dallas for a Sunday autograph session, said he was headed back to his hotel when he decided to go out on the town with a friend. They went to Club Onyx, which Young said was a bad decision. “Just made a mistake, made a mistake even being there and let that guy provoke me into doing what I did,” Young told reporters after a Titans offseason practice. “Fell into his hands, what he wanted me to do so he could do what he’s doing now. At the same time, let my lawyers take care of it.”

SANFORD — Tom Paris believes that the pieces are there for the Southern Lee Cavaliers to see success on the football field this season. It’s just going to take some work to put those pieces together. Paris and his staff held a scouting combine on Monday afternoon to evaluate the talent Paris returning from a team that went winless in 2009. After the combine, Paris met with players and parents in the Southern Lee cafeteria to introduce himself, talk about his philosophies and go over the summer workout schedule. “We had a great turnout for the combine,” said Paris. “The hard thing right now is that everything is still new. I don’t know all of the kids just yet and it’s hard to put names with faces. Overall, I’m very pleased with the number of players that we had come out. Now, it’s time to get to work and turn this thing around.” But Paris remains optimistic that the Cavaliers, a program that has just one victory in the last two seasons, can eventually turn things around. “The true test for us is to get over that mindset that’s held Southern Lee back the last few years,” said Paris. “We’ve got to create a new mindset and have an aggressive approach. These kids have got to be accountable to each other and be committed to the program.” To overcome that losing mindset that has plagued

Clausen enjoying being out of spotlight — for now By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE — Aside from the day a limousine was parked near the practice field and a few people jokingly asked if it was for him, Carolina rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen has avoided the spotlight in his first two months in the NFL. Veteran QB Matt Moore’s promotion to starter has garnered plenty of attention. The uncertain future of coach John Fox, the competition to replace departed defensive end Julius Peppers, linebacker Thomas Davis’ knee injury and receiver Muhsin Muhammad’s retirement have all produced more headlines than the Panthers’ secondround pick. It’s new territory for Clausen, who has spent most of his life as the main

attraction. Now he’s simply a rookie running the second- and third-team offenses. “It’s great,” Clausen insisted Monday. “This is what I was born to do, play the game of football. God has obviously gifted me with a special talent. I’m just trying to come out each and every day and just get better at all the little things.” After questions about his attitude caused him to slip from a sure top-10 pick in the draft all the way to the 48th selection. Clausen has spent most of the past month of voluntary workouts focusing solely on getting adjusted to the NFL game. This is where Clausen was destined to be for some time. He was a record-breaking high school star in California. He arrived at a

After win, Hamlin must avoid Buschlike collapse By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

Golf

BLOG: ALEX PODLOGAR

CHARLOTTE — Kyle Busch bolted out of the gate in 2008, racking up eight quick wins while moving to the top of the Sprint Cup Series standings. But when the title was on the line, he crumbled. Busch stumbled in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship opener. He declared his title hopes over after the second of 10 races, and he finished 10th in the final standings. Two years later, teammate Denny Hamlin needs to make sure that doesn’t happen to him. It’s Hamlin that Joe Gibbs Racing now has hitting on all cylinders, and Sunday’s win at

Michigan International Speedway was his career best and series-leading fifth of the season. If the Chase began today, Hamlin would be the top seed with a 20-point advantage over four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson. That, however, assures little. Busch learned that firsthand in what had been shaping up as a dream first season with JGR. He won 21 races spanning NASCAR’s top three series that year. He was so unstoppable it seemed he could win anywhere. That included Infineon Raceway, a road course that had vexed Busch every year and the first two days of his visit there in 2008. But his No. 18 crew threw every-

thing at the Toyota that weekend, and Busch broke through for his first victory on a road course. It’s similar to what Hamlin and his No. 11 team experienced at Michigan last weekend when their car was junk through two days of practice. Crew chief Mike Ford made significant changes heading into race day, and the result was a rocket ship that built leads of nearly 10 seconds. “We made probably more changes than we have all year,” Ford said. “Friday we were what I consider horrible. We weren’t a top-15 team. We made some big adjustments going into Saturday. Really didn’t think we had a shot to win.” In winning, Hamlin proved he’s a legitimate title contender. He’s just got to avoid the same pitfalls that sabotaged Busch. And, so far, Hamlin seems on the right track.

Dempseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal tied the score Saturday and gave the United States a 1-1 draw; now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on to Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game with Group C leader Slovenia, which opened with a 1-0 win over Algeria. A victory would push the United States toward the knockout phase for the first time since 2002 and help erase the lingering memories of the 2-1 loss to Ghana that eliminated the Americans four years ago. The 27-year-old midfielder from Nacogdoches, Texas, is becoming one of the most accomplished goalscorers in American soccer history. Having also scored against Ghana in 2006, he joined Brian McBride (1998 and 2002) as the only U.S. players with goals in multiple World Cups.

His out-of-nowhere 20yard chip against Juventus in March, which put Fulham in the Europa League quarterfinals, is the most inventive big-goal score by an American in Europe, one that became instantly famous at Craven Cottage and caused the club to sell commemorative T-shirts. This is not your average American trying to make it in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is still a player with some flair, some attacking ability, some creativity, a guy with a great competitive edge and somebody that has a nose to get goals and an aggressiveness in the box to score, and score different kinds of goals,â&#x20AC;? U.S. coach Bob Bradley said. Known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deuceâ&#x20AC;? for the rap recording he once cut, Dempsey developed his early soccer skills playing with Mexican immigrants. He played club soccer in Dallas, attracted attention and went to Furman, where he played alongside current national team midfielder Ricardo Clark. After playing for Major League Soccerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New

England Revolution from 2004-6, Fulham acquired him for a $4 million transfer fee. He scored six goals in his first full season with the Cottagers, eight in 2008-9 and nine last season. Many big goals, too, like the one against Liverpool in May 2007 that pretty much ensured Fulham wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be relegated to a lower division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become more of a complete player,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a weakness before I went over there was my defense, and I think that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shown that, you know, now that thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strength of mine. And I think the speed of play in which I play, being able to see passes early, I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improved being over there.â&#x20AC;? Paired with Landon Donovan on the midfield wings, Dempsey and Donovan give the U.S. soccer team much of their offense. Last year, Dempsey scored in consecutive games against Egypt, Spain and Brazil at the Confederations Cup as the U.S. reached a FIFA menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outdoor final for the first time.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Italy opened defense of its World Cup title with a underwhelming, rain-soaked 1-1 draw with Paraguay on Monday. Paraguay defender Antolin Alcaraz scored on a header in the 39th minute of the Group F match. Italy midfielder Daniele De Rossi equalized from close range in the 63rd after a miscue by goalkeeper Justo Villar. Already without injured midfielder Andrea Pirlo, Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fortunes took another hit when it lost perhaps its most valuable player, goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, after the first half. The 32-year-old Buffon was removed due to a back injury, reaplced by inexperienced backup Federico Marchetti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a back problem. I hope he returns for the next game, but that will be up to the doctors,â&#x20AC;? Lippi said. De Rossi made up for the opening goal, sliding in to redirect a corner kick from Simone Pepe. It was a solid start for the midfielder who was suspended for four games during Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victorious 2006 run after bloodying the face of U.S. forward Brian McBride with a sharp elbow. After a day of often intense rain, the match kicked off under a drizzle, leaving the field slippery. Temperatures stood at 46 degrees, but the swirling winds coming off the ocean made it feel colder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to do more and do it better. Our opponent didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything, they just kept things in check,â&#x20AC;? Italy coach Marcello Lippi said. There were relatively few fans from Italy and Paraguay among the near-capacity crowd of 62,869 at Green Point Stadium, although the usual buzz of vuvuzelas

Netherlands beats Denmark 2-0

JOHANNESBURG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Netherlands beat Denmark 2-0 on Monday despite not living up to its billing as one of the most dangerous attacking teams at the World Cup. The Dutch took the lead in the 46th minute when Denmark defender Simon Poulsen headed a ball off the back of teammate Daniel Agger and into the net. Poulsen had been trying to clear a cross from Robin van Persie. Dirk Kuyt doubled the lead in the 85th when he tapped in a rebound off the post from close range. Denmark had frustrated the Dutch until the own goal with a compact midfield, and the Netherlands never came

close to the free-flowing, high-scoring type of play their fans have become accustomed to, despite several other chances.

Honda leads Japan past Cameroon 1-0

BLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Japan can so win a World Cup game outside its borders. Coming off four straight exhibition losses in the buildup to the tournament, the Japanese earned their first World Cup victory on foreign soil Monday when Keisuke Honda scored in the first half for a 1-0 victory over uninspired Cameroon in Group E of the World Cup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a team we had very little good luck in our warmup games going into this match,â&#x20AC;? Honda said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But as a team we were thinking: â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be down. Be positive. Go for it.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

nba finals game 6: boston at los angeles

Lakers down to last gasp against Celtics LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Down 3-2 in the NBA finals against an old foe that keeps finding new ways to beat them, the Los Angeles Lakers are going to need a big Hollywood ending to escape this jam with another championship. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make their last stand against the Boston Celtics. Game 6 is back home Tuesday night at Staples Center, where the Lakers are 9-1 in the postseason, with everybody from Kobe Bryant to the Lakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bedraggled bench playing with much more passion and confidence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at it, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come home and carried the 3-2 lead back,â&#x20AC;? Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically home court, home court. Now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going back to home court to win it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it?â&#x20AC;? Sure, on paper. But two straight losses in Boston led to a dire series deficit for the Lakers, who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even trailed in any playoff series this season. The

Celtics have won three of the last four games, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re responsible for Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only home loss of the playoffs. So why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Jackson or Bryant seem particularly worried before they headed out on their final cross-country flight of the postseason? Throughout a trying season filled with injuries and big-game setbacks since a Christmas Day loss to Cleveland, the Lakers have always been able to rise when they absolutely needed to do it. Jackson even described the Lakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; locker room as â&#x20AC;&#x153;spiritedâ&#x20AC;? after losing Game 5 in their lowest-scoring performance of the postseason in the 92-86 loss. For all their struggles in Boston, the Lakers realize they only have to defend their home court to win their 16th title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a challenge, obviously, down 3-2,â&#x20AC;? said Bryant, who scored 38 points in Game 5 while his struggling teammates only managed 48. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We let a couple opportunities slip away, but it is what it is.

Now you go home, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got two games at home that you need to win, and you pull your boots up and get to work.â&#x20AC;? If Los Angeles survives, a champion will be crowned Thursday in Game 7. Heading into the finals, the Celtics believed they could beat the Lakers, even with Bryant at his spectacular best, if they shut down his teammates. After all, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Boston did two years ago in the finals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and so far, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working splendidly again. Bryant is averaging 30.2 points per game, while Pau Gasol averages 18.8 points and 10 rebounds despite glaring inconsistency in his game in Boston. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just about it: Nobody else in purple and gold is averaging more than Andrew Bynumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9.6 points per game.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tom Izzo wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even tell one of his young campers if he wants to coach the Cleveland Cavaliers or stay at Michigan State. Izzo was at his basketball camp Monday when a boy tried to get the scoop, inquiring about the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in jumping to the NBA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bad question,â&#x20AC;? Izzo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those guys up there want to know that.â&#x20AC;? A pack of reporters, six TV cameras and two photographers were given limited access to the camp as Izzo addressed hundreds of boys and many of their parents at the Breslin Center, where his championship and Final Four banners are in the rafters. Izzo did not look at or talk with reporters when he arrived at his office Monday morning, about 20 hours after indicating in a text message to The Associated Press he was still undecided. Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, and general manager Chris Grant declined comment Monday.

Drew finally gets his chance to be a head coach ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Now that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finally got his chance to be an NBA head coach, Larry Drew knows that his new job will be a lot easier if he still has Joe Johnson on the team. Drew wasted no time making his pitch to the free-agent-to-be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think my hiring should be a plus,â&#x20AC;? Drew said Monday, when he was formally introduced as the new coach of the Atlanta Hawks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a guy whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already been in here, who already knows the players, who already has a feel for the team. The things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking about putting in are going to enhance Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game even more.â&#x20AC;?

Johnson has made it clear that he intends to test free agency this summer, and he was the only prominent Atlanta player who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show for Drewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first news conference, held on the practice court at Philips Arena. But Drew, who spent six years as the top as-

sistant to former coach Mike Woodson, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring more creativity to the offense. The Hawks looked especially stagnant in the second round of the playoffs, when Atlanta was blown out by the Orlando Magic in the most lopsided four-game sweep in NBA history.

Sports Pebble takes on a US Open look

6B / Tuesday, June 15, 2010 / The Sanford Herald

Teen gets 1-day caddie gig at US Open PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Teenager Jeffrey Aronson lucked into a thrilling opportunity at the U.S. Open: caddie for a practice round. Aronson, a 13-year-old junior golfer who just finished seventh grade back home in Los Angeles, was with his mother, Shelly, watching players on the putting green Sunday when amateur Russell Henley approached him to see if he would carry his bag for Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s round at Pebble Beach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way to kick off the summer,â&#x20AC;? Aronson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do whatever he needs, get range balls and carry his bags. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect.â&#x20AC;? That was a no-brainer for a kid who picked up his first clubs at age 2. Now, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a first-time caddie. About a half-hour before Henley was set to tee off Monday, Aronson stood at the driving range soaking it all in when Davis Love III struck up a conversation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did not imagine it at all,â&#x20AC;? said Aronson, who is at the Open only Monday and Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so happy right now, living in the moment.â&#x20AC;? Henley made a quick call to the USGA to make sure it was OK to use Aronson, then it was a go.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As the fog began to lift early Monday afternoon, there was no mistaking the scenery that makes Pebble Beach so iconic. It was the golf course that looked so different. The fairways are more narrow and defined than they were four months ago when the PGA Tour was in town. The rough is far more dense, except on the right side of five holes that run along the Pacific Ocean. Native grass is waist-high on the outside edges of bunkers, while the edges near the fairway have been shaved to feed golf balls into the sand. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be that way. This is the U.S. Open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Completely different from February,â&#x20AC;? said Dustin Johnson, the twotime defending champion in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is going to be fun. This is

going to be a challenge.â&#x20AC;? Johnson played early Monday with Tiger Woods, another player who can claim to be a defending champion. Woods won the U.S. Open the last time it was played at Pebble Beach, obliterating the field in 2000 by a record 15 shots. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to hit the ball a lot straighter that he has been since returning two months ago at the Masters. Everyone will. Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience at Pebble Beach is pounding the ball some 300 yards in the air and watching it plug in the soggy grass. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not used to feeling firm ground under his feet, and seeing the ball bounce along the fairways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any time the ball is bouncing, the ocean is in play more,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit driver as much.â&#x20AC;? He did on the par-5 sixth, and while his drive went so far and straight

that Johnson only had an 8-iron to the green, he decided when he walked onto the fairway that he will opt for a 3-wood off the tee, maybe even a 3-iron. That would leave him another 3-iron to the green. A reporter asked if that decision was to keep

it out of the rough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? Johnson replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To keep it out of the ocean.â&#x20AC;? Right of the sixth fairway is one example where the USGA has cut down the rough. Any shot that drifts to the right and rolls too much could easily go over the

cliff and into Stillwater Cove. Just standing on the sixth tee, the fairway looks like carpet. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful to see, more frightening with a club in hand. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like that down the eighth, ninth and 10th fairways, the famous stretch along the Pacific.

Paris

on my part because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get over that with them enough.â&#x20AC;? So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next for Paris and the Cavaliers? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Practice at 8:30 a.m. for the rest of the week,â&#x20AC;? said Paris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only way for us to get better is by practicing and getting familiar with each other.â&#x20AC;? Paris plans on holding summer practices at least three to four days a week

during the summer. The optional practices will give Paris and his staff an early start at rebuilding the Cavaliers. To be successful, Paris, who spent the last two seasons at Hoke County, feels that the Cavaliers must be fundamentally sounds in phases of the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order for us to eventually do the big

things right, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do the little things right,â&#x20AC;? said Paris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to play the game the right way and be fundamentally sound.â&#x20AC;? Southern Lee will open its season on Aug. 20 when former Cape Fear Valley Conference foe South Johnston comes to Cavalier Stadium. The first game of

the season will begin a stretch of 11 games in 11 weeks for the Cavaliers, whose bye week isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until the final week of the regular season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a good nucleus of kids to work with,â&#x20AC;? said Paris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order for these kids to be successful, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to take things one day at a time, one week at a time.â&#x20AC;?

focusing more on how he feels Carolina is a good fit because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running the same pro-style offense that former coach Charlie Weis used at Notre Dame. Panthers offensive coordinator Jeff Davidson worked in New England when Weis was the offensive coordinator for the Patriots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much the same exact stuff,â&#x20AC;? Clausen

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Protections are a little different here, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to pick it up as fast as I can. Just to be able to play fast when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m out there, not thinking so much, but playing.â&#x20AC;? Clausen has been given a chance to worry just about football these days. Moore, who came on last year after Jake Delhomme was hurt, will go into training camp as the starter after Delhomme was released. While Clausen may eventually unseat him, now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s splitting secondteam reps with Hunter Cantwell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good quarterback. Still young, still got a lot to go, but he looks good back there in the pocket,â&#x20AC;? Panthers veteran cornerback Chris Gamble said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He kind of looks

you off, little things like that. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen him throw an interception. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been throwing the ball well and getting it to the receivers.â&#x20AC;? The 6-foot-2 Clausenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been questioned as much as his attitude and leadership abilities. There were a couple off-field issues at Notre Dame. There were whispers about overconfidence and blaming teammates. So far in Carolina, however, Clausen is deferring to the veterans. He quickly grouped himself with sixth-round pick Tony Pike, currently Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth-string QB, when talking to reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team is great. All the rookies coming in, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re welcoming us

with open arms,â&#x20AC;? Clausen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really appreciate it and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure the rest of the rookies really appreciate it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real close team and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m seeing just a glimpse of it now.â&#x20AC;? The focus will eventually shift to Clausen, especially if Moore struggles in the preseason and there becomes a legitimate competition for the starting QB job. But for now Clausen is looking and acting just like another rookie trying to find his way without a limo driver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tempo of the game, the tempo of my drops, the speed of the linebackers, the corners and the safeties, the speed of the rush and the speed of the receivers and tight ends, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a step up from college,â&#x20AC;? Clausen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to get used to that.â&#x20AC;? NOTES: RB Jonathan Stewart, who has been held out of all minicamp and voluntary workouts this spring following ankle surgery, did a series of conditioning sprints near the end of Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workout. ... The Panthers were met with intense heat for the morning session. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Southern heat. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really used to it,â&#x20AC;? Clausen said.

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Teen plans a short life based on conversations she overheard DEAR ABBY: I’m 13 and I have cancer. My mom thinks I don’t know, but I do. I heard the doctor say I was better off without any meds. I have made a choice not to fall in love, and not to tell even my closest friend that I’m only going to live to be about 25-30 years old. My friend can’t understand why I am always sad and have never wanted a boyfriend. How do I tell her to stop advising me to be happy and cheer up, and to someday open my heart to love without telling her about my short life? — MADE MY CHOICE, ANYWHERE, USA

DEAR ABBY: When I married the first time, I wore my mother’s wedding gown. She and Dad had a happy marriage. They were married 47 years when Dad died. My first husband and I divorced. We had two boys. I don’t think either of my children would want the dress. In fact, I don’t think ANYone would want it because the last time it was worn led to divorce.

No more yuks over yaks on loose in Wyoming

Metropolis unveils statue of Superman’s Lois Lane

BUFFALO, Wyo. (AP) — Cattle ranchers in the foothills of Wyoming’s Big Horn Mountains are no longer yukking over a herd of yaks that keeps getting loose. John and Laura DeMatteis of Buffalo, Wyo., raise the wooly, cattle-like animals on their 300-acre Yak Daddy Ranch. They sell the animals, which are native to Asia, for their meat and wool. Problem is, the herd keeps wandering off — more than a dozen times in recent years. Local cattle rancher Scott Rogers says the roaming yaks were funny at first. Now he says they eat his grass and he worries they could mate with his cows. Local officials say they’re pursuing an ordinance against “yaks at large.”

METROPOLIS, Ill. (AP) — The southern Illinois city that calls itself the “official home of Superman” has unveiled a statue of the superhero’s lady love, Lois Lane. Metropolis leaders unveiled the statue on Friday. The city already has a 15foot bronze statue of Superman in Superman Square. The Lois Lane statue is modeled on actress Noel Neill, who played playing the female reporter with a crush on Superman in movies and on television in the 1940s and 1950s. Artist Gary Ernest Smith created the statue and says making the piece was a dream come true because he grew up watching Superman. Neill says she was honored to memorialized with the statue.

Wedding bells on Aisle 1: Pair weds at Home Depot LAKE FOREST, Calif. (AP) — The bride wore white. The guests wore orange smocks. A southern California couple were married Saturday in front of more than 100 guests at a Home Depot store where they work. The wedding party for 56-year-old Carolyn Weatherly and Audwin Mosby, who’s 55, marched down an aisle of light bulbs, grills and paint to the outdoor garden section, where a wedding arbor and stage had been built from the store’s lumber and supplies. The bride says the store in Lake Forest is like a second home and her colleagues are like family. A regional manager says it’s only the second wedding in a Home Depot.

Idaho woman suspect in library condiment vandalism BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Police in Idaho think they might have solved a yearlong condiment crime spree. Authorities say a 74-year-old Boise woman arrested after pouring mayonnaise in the Ada County library’s book drop box is a person of interest in at least 10 other condiment-related crimes. Joy L. Cassidy was picked up Sunday at the library, moments after police say she pulled through the outside drive-through and dumped a jar of mayo in the box designated for reading materials. Cassidy was released from jail and faces a misdemeanor charge of malicious injury to property. Boise police say Cassidy is under investigation for other cases of vandalism that started in May 2009.

Put God first in everything Q: I know I ought to pay more attention to God and be more active in my church, but I’m so busy trying to keep my business going that I have a hard time fitting everything in. Does God understand this, or is He upset because I’m not giving Him as much attention as I should? -- M.W.R. A: Some of the busiest men and women I’ve ever known were also some of the most committed to Christ, in spite of their schedules. One of them was my own father-in-law, Dr. L. Nelson Bell, whose career as a missionary, surgeon and influential church leader kept him constantly on the go. How did they do it? The answer is that their lives weren’t broken up into a series of separate, unrelated compartments -- family, career, finances, relaxation, religion, and so forth. Instead, Jesus Christ was at the center of everything they did, and He influenced everything they did. Christ was part of every “compartment” -- and in fact He ruled them all! In other words, Christ wasn’t part of their lives just one hour a week, but 24 hours a day. What is your priority in life? What is most important to you? Money? Success? Prestige? Pleasure? Or is it God and His will for your life? Be honest in your answer -- and then ask yourself if your present goal in life is what it should be. Jesus said, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:33).
