A 491-acre project north of Sanford would be a mixed-use development By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Supporters stated their case Monday for a 491-acre rezoning that would pave the way for a major retail and industry development north of Sanford. The development, which

would include19 tracts of land and several landowners, is in the works for land near Sanford’s current Industrial Park. Landowners want Lee County commissioners to rezone more than 60 acres for general commercial uses and 431 acres for light industrial.

The land is currently zoned for residential and agricultural purposes. One of those landowners, Raleigh real estate investor Steve Stroud, has described the planned development as a mixed-use center complete

TIMES SQUARE BOMBER PLEADS GUILTY IN NYC

Calling himself a “Muslim soldier,” a defiant Pakistanborn U.S. citizen pleaded guilty Monday to carrying out the failed Times Square car bombing, saying his attack was the answer to “the U.S. terrorizing ... Muslim people”

Smith was shot once in the lower leg and Bell was shot twice in the right leg and hip area, according to investigators. Both men were taken to UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill with injuries that were not lifethreatening.

MDs in training Ten teens from local high schools taking part in volunteer program at CCH to learn the ropes Special to The Herald

SANFORD — It’s not quite “Doogie Howser, M.D.,” but if you’re at Central Carolina Hospital this summer, expect to see some teenagers walking the halls alongside the doctors, nurses and other hospital staff. Although these teens won’t be treating patients, they’ll be very much a part of the hospital’s operations. In all, 10 teenagers from Lee County and Southern Lee high schools will spend eight weeks of the summer volunteering

at the hospital as part of CCH a program which seeks to educate young people about the health care field. Anita Gandhi, a 15-year-old from Southern Lee who will move on to the North Carolina School of Science and Math in the fall, is one of those teens. She said she grew up with her parents regularly telling her she’d be a doctor one day, and the idea stuck with her. “It just stayed in my head,”

See CCH, Page 6A

It’s good for the hospital because we get help with our day-to-day operations, but the students get the experience. It could help them get into the college they want because they’ve already volunteered in the area they have an interest in.”

ELECTION 2010

COLLEGE

Dem runoff candidates fight for every last vote

CCCC’s adult school holds commencement ceremony

By MIKE BAKER Associated Press Writer

Lee County

RALEIGH — The two North Carolina Democrats seeking nomination for U.S. Senate turned their attention Monday away from each other and toward the grueling task of attracting aloof voters to the polls. Elaine Marshall and Cal Cunningham capped their months of campaigning with trips to phone banks. Marshall was making calls from her Marshall campaign headquarters in Raleigh, and Cunningham was Cunningham capping a trip across the state with a final set of calls from Wilmington. While the race Tuesday will decide who challenges Republican Sen. Richard Burr in November, voters appear disinterested in the results, with only a sparse 38,000 turning out in early balloting across the state. Both candidates said voters seemed distracted by summer vacations. Marshall noted that there was a lack of local races to draw interest, so her campaign was trying to target voters who had a track record of turning out in all elections. “We’re just trying to hunt where the birds are,” said Marshall, North Carolina’s secretary of state. Marshall and Cunningham will top the ballot across the state for those voting on the Democratic ticket. The runoff will also settle three Republican primaries for Congress and a Democratic race for state Senate. Cunningham, a Lexington attorney and former state senator, has been a favorite of party leaders in Washington who view him as the best candidate to defeat Burr. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has spent more than $100,000 to help his campaign. In a final automated call to voters, retired General Wesley Clark urged North Carolina residents to come out and support Cunningham, an Iraq War veteran. Cunningham said he was focused on making sure voters knew there was an election, and he was still spending time introducing himself to those who may cast a ballot. “Elaine has a 14-year headstart with educating Democrats about who she is,” Cunningham said. “We’ve been carrying an extra burden of making sure the Democrats are comfortable with where I stand on the issues and are comfortable with this

SANFORD — Smiling with success, members of Central Carolina Community College’s Adult High School/GED spring 2010 graduating class walked proudly across the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center stage last week. Friends and family cheered, applauded and snapped photographs as their graduate’s name was called. The graduating students ranged in age from teenagers to whitehaired. They brought a wide variety of educational and workforce backgrounds to their pursuit of education. All had one thing in common: They had achieved their personal goals of earning their high school or General Educational Development diplomas. “We are so proud of you,” Stelfanie Williams, the college’s vice president of Economic and Community Development, told the graduating class. “We hope you continue with your education. The doors of Central Carolina Community College are always open for you.” About 185 students completed their AHS or GED studies during the spring semester. The three student commencement speakers represented each of the counties the college serves: Bruce Graham, of Chatham County; Brenda Dominguez, of Harnett County; and Donald Alexander, of Lee County. Graham said that, in ninth grade, he “got too smart for myself.” He dropped out of school, telling his parents he would go to night school and join the Army. He did neither. He eventually found a job, got married and had a family. Then, in 2009, he was laid off. With no education and no job, he and his wife decided it was time for him to go back to school. “I did not realize how much I needed to learn,”

Wicker Civic Center. Dominguez was one of three student speakers for the spring 2010 commencement exercises. About 185 AHS/GED students completed their studies during the spring semester. he told his fellow graduates and the audience. “It took 16 months, but I passed my final GED test in May.” Now Graham plans to continue at Central Carolina C.C., training to be an automotive mechanic. “To you who have not finished high school, it’s not too late to start,” he said. “It will lead you to a new career and a better life.” Dominguez expressed her gratitude for having another chance to earn her diploma. “Nothing beats a failure but a try,” she told the graduates, who shared her experience of trying and continuing to try until they achieved their goal. “Trust God, put him

first and he will guide your path.” Alexander spoke of the graduation as a “great accomplishment” for the students and those who supported them. He urged both the graduates and those in the audience to continue to set goals and work to achieve them. Four students received scholarships to continue their education. The CCCC Foundation awarded scholarships to Graham; Christopher Froat, of Harnett County; and Ana Dominguez, of Lee County. Terence Brooks, of Lee County, received the W.B. Wicker Scholarship. Each member of the graduating class received a voucher that would pay for one curriculum class

at the college, encouraging them to continue their education. Graduating students who achieved at least a 94 grade point average in Adult High School or a score of at least 3000 on their GED examinations were recognized: Demetrix Allen, Danielle Baumgartner, Rebecca Cameron, Cody Carbonell, Jasmine Corletto, Amanda Crawford, Christian Del Ciotto, Cynthia Donegan, Justin Fawcett, Christopher Froat, Karon Griffin, Justin Johnston, Gabrielle Klein, Ashley Perry, Larry Propps, Ben Raynor, Pablo Sanchez, Deven Turner, Marvin Velez, Samuel Weinburg, Evan Whitaker, and Frederick Wolfe II.

Opinion

4A / Tuesday, June 22, 2010 / The Sanford Herald

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

Democrats, make your voices known today There’s a primary election runoff going on today throughout the state of North Carolina, although some of you likely do not know it. Here in Lee County, there is only one item on the ballot — the runoff to decide who is going to represent the Democrats against U.S. Sen. Richard Burr in November’s general election. As of Thursday, 358 Lee Countians had gone through the early voting in the Democratic runoff race between U.S. Senate candidates Cal Cunningham and Elaine Marshall. No matter who may win, the victor faces a tough challenge

against Burr in November. Although he has his critics most political pundits agree that Burr is a safe bet to represent the state again for the next six years. But stranger things have happened. Take our own U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge. Up until a little more than a week ago, Etheridge was by all accounts a shoe-in to win another term in Congress. Then the viral video of his altercation with two young men on a Washington D.C. street, changed everything, at least for a while. According to one poll, albeit from the conservative Civitas Institute, Etheridge and his November challenger Renee Ellm-

ers in a dead heat now. No one knows for sure it that margin will hold up once the voters get to know Ellmers, but for now it is a lot closer than it once was, that’s for sure. It’s a long time until November. There’s plenty of time for Burr to make a similar mistake, and for the Dems to pounce just as the Republicans have on Etheridge. On the candidates, both Cunningham and Marshall have political backgrounds — Cunningham is a former state Senator and Marshall is current N.C. Secretary of State and former state Senator. Both have law degrees, as Cunning-

ham is a graduate of the UNC Law School and Marshall from the Campbell Law School. During the May 4th primary, Marshall captured 36 percent of the state vote while Cunningham was second at 27 percent. A candidate needed 40 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff. There were four other candidates who joined Marshall and Cunningham in the Democratic primary vote. Generally speaking, it’s difficult to get people to the polls with so little on the ballot. It’s understandable in one sense. But, it seems somewhat unfair that so few people will likely decide who will be the Demo-

cratic winner in this primary vote. On the other hand, perhaps those individuals who wilil be voting are the ones who really care and who have really studied the candidates. Perhaps it’s best if only those who care the most and are the most well informed are the ones to vote. So if you’re a Democrat and you feel strongly about this race, make your voice known. You never know, it may be very important after all. The bottom line is that we have choices each and every time the polls are open, and they will be today from 6:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m.

Letters to the Editor Ellmers’ drilling policy wrong for North Carolina To the Editor:

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

Campaign spending

ne of the more inexplicable aspects of modern-day politics is how few politicians are champions of meaningful campaign finance reform. That sentence may seem counterintuitive. If money is the mother’s milk of politics, then isn’t it understandable that politicians would want to keep the flow coming? Maybe. But setting aside issues of power and influence for a moment, consider that by one account members of Congress spend about 30 percent of their waking hours raising campaign cash. When I first began covering the North Carolina General Assembly in the 1990s, most members of the state House spent less than $20,000 on their races. There had never been a $1 million legislative race. Now, every two years, a handful of races exceed $1 million in spending. Total spending goes into the tens of millions. One consequence of the increasing amounts of money is that the public — often rightly and sometimes wrongly — sees political decisions in the context of who is providing it. As a result, politicians, in general, and Congress, in particular, suffer historically low levels of public support. Instead of detesting elected officials, people ought to pity them. ... You’d think that politicians might be able to step back from that money chase and recognize how demeaning it’s become. But they’ll argue that court decisions hold them hostage, that they can’t unilaterally disarm. In North Carolina, some would dispute the notion that politicians haven’t taken up the charge for serious reform. This state’s public financing programs of statewide judicial races and some lower-profile executive branch races can be seen as significant campaign finance reform. But those races aren’t where the real action is, where the big money flows. And applying the public financing model to gubernatorial or legislative races would probably prove costly to taxpayers. Recent court decisions also make it easier to circumvent the basic intent of public financing ... Lawrence Lessig, a Harvard law professor, has been running around the country lately calling on states to force a constitutional convention or amendment to stem the corrosive effects of money in political campaigning. That might sound naïve, but Lessig is a brilliant guy, an intellectual property rights expert who promoted technology sharing by helping create something called Creative Commons. Maybe his effort will go nowhere. If it doesn’t, North Carolina politicians can still look at things that the courts haven’t attacked — more ideal donation limits, its own party giving loophole that circumvents donor limits. Failing to act is bad for the public and its broader interests. It’s also bad for politicians and their perceived legitimacy.

Daniels a stubborn realist

“I

would reinstate the Mexico City policy,” Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels told me, removing an uncertainty of his own creation. Promoting abortion with international family planning funds is one of “a thousand things we shouldn’t be spending money on.” Yet days earlier, when asked if he would return to that family planning rule as president, Daniels had responded: “I don’t know.” It is a measure of Daniels’ standing as a possible Republican candidate in 2012 that his answer caused a considerable stir. Social conservatives criticized his idea that a “truce” on divisive, culture war controversies might be required to deal with “survival issues” such as terrorism and debt. Daniels’ clarification on Mexico City shows his realism. But his continued insistence on the idea of a truce shows his stubbornness — a defining characteristic. “If there were a WMD attack, death would come to straights and gays, pro-life and pro-choice,” he told me. “If the country goes broke, it would ruin the American dream for everyone. We are in this together. Whatever our honest disagreements on other questions, might we set them aside long enough to do some very difficult things without which we will be a different, lesser country?” This is the paradox of Mitch Daniels: He is a uniter with an apocalyptic message, a genial Jeremiah. “I start with a premise that not everyone agrees with — that the republic is threatened as it has not been before, if you don’t count the Soviet nuclear threat. ... It is the arithmetic of debt. If unaddressed, it makes national failure a certainty. Beyond some point, you can’t come back.” Daniels’ appeal is not ideological; it is mathematical. The passions aroused by ideology, in his view, hamper the ability of political adults to deal rationally with disturbing budget numbers. But if Daniels de-emphasizes ideology, he elevates moral virtues such as thrift, realism and humility. The vivid contrast to President Obama’s expansive, undisciplined, expensive public ambitions has elevated Daniels to prominence. This is not a pose. I was a colleague of Daniels when he was director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). It was his job to say “no” to splendid policy proposals, which he did with good-humored enthusiasm. Raining on parades was both a profession and a hobby. There is a reason why OMB is not a typical steppingstone to high political office; the same reason that accountants generally don’t become sex symbols. But Daniels became a highly successful Indiana governor, combining a motorcycle-driving, pork-tenderloin-eating populism with courageous budget cutting, a solid record of job creation and a reputation for competence. If responsibility and austerity are now sexy, Daniels and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are centerfolds.

Michael Gerson Columnist Michael Gerson is a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group

When asked his political influences, Daniels cites Charles Murray, the author of “What It Means to Be a Libertarian.” Daniels speaks of taxation as a form of coercion that can only be justified by narrow and necessary public purposes. But unlike, say, libertarian Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul, Daniels has actually run a state, forcing him to define government’s necessary purposes in a more realistic manner. “Building excellent public infrastructure is an appropriate role for government,” he explains, on the theory that it “enables the private sector to thrive. ... Maybe this makes me more of a Whig.” It has certainly made him a tenacious reformer of government itself. Asked about his achievements in office, he notes that average wait times at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles have fallen to under nine minutes. “Actually,” he says, “eight minutes, 16 seconds.” Daniels’ rigorous, detail-oriented focus on economic issues has earned him a favorable buzz among conservative intellectuals and commentators. Social conservatives have been more skeptical, feeling their deepest commitments might be set aside for the duration of a culture war “truce.” In fact, Daniels’ pro-life record is strong. The main problem with his truce proposal is not its moderation but its naivete. Just how would avoiding fights on unrelated social issues make Democratic legislators more likely to vote for broad budget cuts and drastic entitlement reforms? Daniels admits, “No one may take the offer. ... But I’m not prepared to give up on the idea we can address this thing. If we can’t — well, the cynics were right. But somebody has to try.” It is difficult to imagine Daniels’ rejection of uplift, ideology and activism appealing to the country at most times. But maybe, at this particular time, we are a nation in need of fewer messiahs and more OMB directors.

Today’s Prayer Sing aloud unto God our strength; make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. (Psalm 81:1) PRAYER: Father, thank You for our salvation. Help us to be a witness for You, so we may bring others to Your love and goodness. Amen.

Congressional Candidate Renee Ellmers is dead wrong when it comes to her energy policy. The fact that she is still ballyhooing offshore drilling for North Carolina’s coast on her campaign website is stupefying. I am not sure if she really understands the mess the Gulf states are experiencing currently. Mrs. Ellmers’ position that offshore drilling could be a “boon” for North Carolina’s economy is simply wrong-headed and dangerous. God blessed this state with a beautiful coast, but a treacherous one. The idea that politicos want to place oil rigs in the graveyard of the Atlantic (our coast’s nickname) shows a poor understanding of our state’s history or a complete disregard of their common sense. The argument that we have the scientific knowledge to do it safely has been shown to be false, as has the ability of the oil companies to deal with accidents. Republican candidates such as Mrs. Ellmers need to break away from the “drill baby, drill” mentality if they want to be taken seriously. RANDALL LEE YOW Sanford

Letter writer misled with Etheridge video opinion To the Editor: Following the Etheridge apology, which to his credit did not include a defense, I was at the point of writing it off to his having a bad day. Then I was brought back to reality by Larry Mintz’s letter to the editor on June 16. Those of us who watched the video saw — and I hope recall seeing — Etheridge grabbing the wrist and nape of a youth who politely responded that he was on a project to demands for identification. Larry’s distorted recall causes him to remember seeing a “dirty tricks-playing right-wing plant harasser” ambush Etheridge who “deserved to be decked” by the congressman. I prefer this explanation because I don’t think Larry is dishonest. Sadly those who did not see the video but read his letter have been misled. Ideologues who are not able to distinguish fact from fancy are a real and present threat to our society regardless of their cause, party, intelligence or accomplishments. As the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan said, “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.” BILL DOOLEY Sanford

said Anita, who hopes to become an oncologist or a hematologist. “I just love working with people. I think it’s great that the hospital has a program where young people can go in and get the experience they need and be able to say ‘I did that.’” Anita, the daughter of Nipa and Rajesh Gandhi of Sanford, will spend most of her time doing clerical work in the intensive care unit. She won’t be able to get hands-on experience, of course, but she said she relishes the opportunity to be exposed to the critical care environment. Another one of the volunteers is Marinda Carraway, a 17-year-old rising senior at Southern Lee High School. Like Gandhi, she has hopes of becoming a doctor. The daughter of Frank and Tonda Carraway of Sanford, she plans to attend UNC-Chapel Hill after high school, and then possibly attend medical school in order to become a general practitioner. At CCH, she’ll be helping prepare menus for hospital guests. “I’ve had a lot of opportunities to volunteer, but nothing like this,” Marinda explained. “It seems pretty prestigious, working in a hospital. Dealing with people is what I really like to do, and in my job this summer I’ll be having to deal with quite a few patients.” The program isn’t new, although it was on hold last year, said Crystal Hickman, CCH’s director of volunteer services. She advertised the opportunity at all of the area’s high schools and eventually selected 10 stu-

dents from the county’s two public high schools. To be eligible for the program, students had to be rising juniors or seniors, provide a teacher’s recommendation, maintain a 3.0 grade point average (“most of these students well exceed that,” Hickman said), write an essay, and finally, interview for the position. In all, Hickman eventually selected seven young ladies and three young men. Aside from Gandhi and Carraway, they are Shefali Patel, a rising junior at Lee County, Karin Gonzalez, a rising junior at Southern Lee, John Cashion, a rising senior at Lee County, Lizeth Martinez, a rising senior at Southern Lee, Steven Wright, a rising junior at Lee County, Cristian Solis, a rising senior at Southern Lee, Melanie Armstrong, a rising junior at Lee County, and Sophia McCutchen, a rising senior at Lee County. “Many of these students have an interest in the medical field, but they’ve never had an opportunity to volunteer in a setting like a hospital,” Hickman said. “It’s good for the hospital because we get help with our day-to-day operations, but the students get the experience. It could help them get into the college they want because they’ve already volunteered in the area they have an interest in. We’re looking forward to them being here.” The students began volunteer orientation on Monday and will begin their work on June 21. For Carraway, the experience is good for everyone involved. “It’s nice that there are people in this community who are willing to help us as teens and set up a program that helps us help our community,” she said.

with light manufacturing, residential living, restaurants, retail, pharmacies and more. Stroud’s Triassic LLC is joined in the request by landowners Linda B. Wicker, JImmie L. Thomas and Hobert and Sandra Wicker. Commissioners held a joint public hearing on the request with the Planning Board Monday. The Planning Board retired to a separate room to consider its recommendation on the project following the public hearing. No word was available at press time on the Planning Board’s recommendation to county commissioners, although board Chairman Jaime Teal touted the project last week as a boon for the county. Lee County Economic Development Corporation Director Bob Heuts said the development, which would be located near the Colon Road intersection with Jefferson Davis Highway, will be a major draw for industry and retail alike, at least partly because of its proximity to the highway. “That’s probably the best driver out there for development

in that area,” Heuts said. Stroud said Durham architect Tony Tate, who worked on Chapel Hill’s Southern Village, will be involved in the design. Southern Village combines residential and commercial development, including a movie theater, grocery store and office buildings, with a small “community” feel on the outskirts of Chapel Hill. Tate said at Monday’s public hearing that the landscape on the 19 tracts is well-suited for a major development. “It’s unique to have so much land with access and limited environmental issues,” Tate said. County officials said public sewer and water is in the vicinity and could be tapped into for the project. Commissioners heard from a pair of area residents Monday who expressed concerns about noise, traffic or the impact on property values that would come as a result of the development. One of those residents, Mandy Moss of nearby Perry Pond Road, said she moved into the community for “peace and quiet.” “Please consider that hearing transit trucks at loading docks is not how I want to wake up each morning,” Moss said.

sounds, Neil Miller told the 911 dispatcher that he had shot his son. The gunshot cannot be heard on the tape. Neil Miller told the dispatcher that his son was laying in the yard. The dispatcher asked, “Is he alive? Is he breathing?” and Neil Miller replied that he didn’t know. Neil Miller told investigators that he was afraid his son was going to kill him, so he retrieved his shot gun and fired once through the door. The bullet struck Ricky Miller in the chest. When investigators arrived on the scene, they found Ricky Miller dead and unarmed. An autopsy will be conducted on Ricky Miller’s body at UNCChapel Hill. Sharon

Shooting Continued from Page 1A

Sanford police Capt. David Smith said police have a suspect in the shooting, although no arrests had been made and there was little other information available Monday afternoon. Capt. Smith said the shooting happened near a residence at 2306 Woodland Ave., although investigators do not believe the residents were involved. Buie and Marlin Smith both have prior convictions in Lee County — Buie in September 2005 for robbery with a dangerous weapon and assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, and Smith in April 2009 for possession with intent to sell a schedule IV drug. Buie’s body was scheduled to be taken to the Medical Examiner’s office in Chapel Hill for an autopsy. Sunday’s incident wrapped up a deadly weekend for local law enforcement. A Sanford man reportedly shot and killed his son late Friday after his son tried to break into his home on Carbonton Road, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office said.

Artis, case management supervisor at the North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, said the autopsy will take a minimum of 90 days and could potentially take longer. “That’s to get toxicity results and also microscopic tissue results back,” Artis said. The toxicity results from the autopsy will indicate whether or not Ricky Miller was drunk at the time of the shooting. Johnson said the 911 tape seems consistent with Neil Miller’s testimony and consistent with the scene. “It’s fairly cut and dry,” Johnson said. Investigators took Neil Miller into custody after the shooting, but they released him after questioning. No charges have

been filed, and authorities said the investigation is ongoing. Johnson said the Sheriff’s Office will send a report to the District Attorney’s Office as soon as the investigation is complete, but he doesn’t know how soon that will be. The District Attorney will make the final decision about whether or not charges will be filed. Based on the information the Sheriff’s Office has now, Johnson said he doesn’t think that charges will be filed and believes that Neil Miller was genuinely afraid his son would kill him. “(Ricky Miller) has got a violent criminal record,” Johnson said. “I believe (the father) was in fear of his life. I don’t know who knows you better than your dad. He knows what he was capable of. I think that would play a part in his not getting charged.” Neil Miller could not be reached for comment.

4th officer fired after off-duty trooper stop

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A fourth North Carolina police officer has been fired for his involvement in a traffic stop three months ago in which an off-duty trooper was pulled over on suspicion of drunken driving. Butner police Chief Wayne Hobgood said in a news release Monday that Maj. Anthony Moss was dismissed for personal conduct violations. Two other officers were dismissed following the April 3 traffic stop involving Highway Patrol Capt. James Williams Jr. Williams also was fired for personal conduct violations. Instead of administering a field sobriety test or filing charges, the Butner officers took the trooper to a nearby hotel after stopping him on Interstate 85 around 2 a.m.

Angler: boat stripped of $900K in winnings MOREHEAD CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The lack of a fishing license for one crew member may have cost a boat more than $900,000 in prize money in the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in North Carolina. The Daily News of Jacksonville reported the fisherman who caught a record-setting 883-pound blue marlin June 14 said tournament officials have stripped the Hatteras-based boat Citation of the title and money. Andy Thomossan says one crew member didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the required fishing license. One of the boatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owners, Michael Topp, says the lack of a license was discovered during a lie detector test. The tournament requires the test for some of those on the boat that wins the top money.

Fatal explosion causes town to cancel fireworks OCRACOKE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A beach community in North Carolina where four people were killed as they unloaded fireworks wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a July 4th display this year. The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Va., reported that Hyde County spokeswoman Jamie Tunnell says Ocracoke Island

officials rejected a fireworks show this July 4th holiday. Last year, four people from Wayne County were killed and a fifth person was injured as they unloaded fireworks from a truck on Ocracoke Island. Tunnell says Ocracoke will hold its usual parade, which will end with a memorial for the four killed. After the deadly explosion, legislators approved a law that requires safety training for those who prepare the displays. Lawmakers now are considering a one-time exception because some towns are struggling to find operators who have completed training.

N.C. GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Sente votes to ban sweepstakes RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The North Carolina Senate overwhelmingly approved legislation Monday to shutter hundreds of new businesses that bill supporters argue are offering just another form of illegal video poker where people buy phone or Internet time, then play games on computer screens to win cash and prizes. By a vote of 47-1, the chamber continued its long history of opposing video gambling, this time through electronic and computerbased devices springing up at new â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweepstakes cafesâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;business centers.â&#x20AC;? North Carolina Senate leaders, sheriffs and Christian groups say the sweepstakes games are an end-run around the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2006 video poker ban. A series of pending court cases where the illegality of the machines has been questioned has led to the new law attempting to tighten the ban. The number of such locations statewide has soared in recent months to about 600, according to Sen. Josh Stein, D-Wake, who is shepherding the bill through the Senate. The state needs to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make crystal clear once and for all that running an Internet sweepstakes casino violates North Carolina laws,â&#x20AC;? Stein said. He added that they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;popping up in strip malls, targeting low-income communities across our state.â&#x20AC;? Computer software designers and parlor operators

2 men who rescued jogger to receive Chapel Hill key CHAPEL HILL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The city of Chapel Hill will give the key to the city to two North Carolina brothers who foiled a kidnapping attempt last month. WRAL-TV reported that Joey and Freddie Shelton of Chatham County were receiving the honor at the city council meeting Monday. The men were running errands May 12 when they saw a man grab an 18-yearold jogger. The man was dragging her to a nearby car when the Sheltons intervened by using their car to block the exit to the parking lot. The man let the woman go and ran into Joey Shelton with his car. Police say 26-year-old Theodore James Walker of Chapel Hill faces charges that include second-degree kidnapping. Police say they found a loaded shotgun and baseball bat in his car.

who stand to lose a lot of money with a complete ban argue it would eliminate thousands of jobs and is no different than the North Carolina Education Lottery. They cite an analysis by the N.C. lottery that found the state could generate $576 million annually if lawmakers legalize video poker machines again and regulate them heavily. Players and other game supporters blitzed senators with e-mails urging them to fight the ban. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the lawmakers really want to clean up the video gaming business, then they need to regulate it. We are asking for state oversight,â&#x20AC;? William Thevaos, president of the Entertainment Group of North Carolina, said in a prepared statement. The group consists largely of amusement machine owners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can set aside funds just like the lottery to promote gambling addiction hot lines. We want to be proactive and help those who need help.â&#x20AC;? The lone â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? vote came from Sen. Julia Boseman, D-New Hanover, who has introduced a bill that would put video poker under the lotteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supervision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not supporting these standalone sweepstakes parlorsâ&#x20AC;? but only want to regulate them to

create revenues for the public schools, she said. But Stein and others said the General Assembly made a policy decision to allow gambling only through the lottery in 2005. He said the videopoker â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweepstakesâ&#x20AC;? games encourage rapid gambling compared to scratch-off and nightly numbers games. Lawmakers read e-mails from constituents who begged for the games to be eliminated. The sweepstakes parlor jobs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the kind of highpaying jobs North Carolina residents need in the 21st century, said Sen. Joe Sam Queen, D-Haywood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This scourge in our community erodes those dreams and those opportunities,â&#x20AC;? Queen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a predatory industry that preys on citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; weaknesses.â&#x20AC;? The bill will now return to the House, where its future is uncertain because Democrats are divided on the issue. Some want to tax video poker and others want to wait until the courts resolve the issue. House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said after the Senate vote he personally favors the ban and expects a committee to recommend whether the full chamber should approve the bill.

Bomb suspect pleads guilty in NYC attack. Living in the United States, Americans only care about their people but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about the people elsewhere in the world when they die.â&#x20AC;? Shahzad made the plea and an accompanying statement as Cedarbaum began asking him a lengthy series of questions to ensure he understood his rights. Cedarbaum asked Shahzad if he understood some charges carried mandatory life sentences and that he might spend the rest of his life in prison. He said he did. At one point, she asked him if he was sure he wanted to plead guilty. He said he wanted â&#x20AC;&#x153;to plead guilty and 100 times moreâ&#x20AC;? to let the U.S. know that if it did not get out of Iraq and Afghanistan, halt drone attacks and stop meddling in Muslim lands, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we will be attacking U.S.â&#x20AC;? Sentencing was scheduled for Oct. 5. The Bridgeport, Conn., resident was arrested trying to leave the country May 3, two days after the bomb failed to ignite near a Broadway theater.

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Calling himself a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Muslim soldier,â&#x20AC;? a defiant Pakistan-born U.S. citizen pleaded guilty Monday to carrying out the failed Times Square car bombing, saying his attack was the answer to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the U.S. terrorizing ... Muslim people.â&#x20AC;? Wearing a white skull cap, Faisal Shahzad entered the plea in U.S. District Court in Manhattan just days after a federal grand jury indicted him on 10 terrorism and weapons counts, some of which carried mandatory life prison sentences. He pleaded guilty to them all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One has to understand where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m coming from,â&#x20AC;? Shahzad calmly told U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum, who challenged him repeatedly with questions such as whether he worried about killing children in Times Square. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I consider myself ... a Muslim soldier.â&#x20AC;? The 30-year-old described his effort to set off a bomb in an SUV he parked in Times Square on May 1,

He revealed that he actually packed his vehicle with three separate bombs, hoping to set off a fertilizer-fueled bomb packed in a gun cabinet, a set of propane tanks and gas canisters rigged with fireworks to explode into a fireball. Shahzad said he expected the bombs to begin going off after he lighted a fuse and waited between 2

1/2 minutes and five minutes for them to erupt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was waiting to hear a sound but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear a sound. So I walked to Grand Central and went home,â&#x20AC;? he said. Shahzad dismissed the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s question about the children by saying the U.S. didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care when children were killed in Muslim countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a war.

lost their documents. The industry said borrowers werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sending back the necessary paperwork.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Obama administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flagship effort to help people in danger of losing their homes is falling flat. More than a third of the 1.24 million borrowers who have enrolled in the $75 billion mortgage modification program have dropped out. That exceeds the number of people who have managed to have their loan payments reduced to help them keep their homes. Last month alone,155,000 borrowers left the program â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bringing the total to 436,000 who have dropped out since it began in March 2009. About 340,000 homeowners have received permanent loan modifications and are making payments on time. Administration officials say the housing market is significantly better than when President Barack Obama entered office. They say those who were rejected from the program will get help in other ways. But analysts expect the majority will still wind up in foreclosure and that could slow the broader economic recovery. A major reason so many have fallen out of the program is the Obama administration initially pressured banks to sign up borrowers without insisting first on proof of their income. When banks later moved to collect the information, many troubled homeowners were disqualified or dropped out. Many borrowers complained that the banks

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The White House on Monday disputed a Republican senatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim that President Barack Obama refuses to secure the Mexican border until Congress agrees to a wide-ranging overhaul of immigration laws. Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona told a Tea Party gathering in North Phoenix, Ariz., on Friday of his recent private meeting with Obama in the Oval Office. Kyl, the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-ranking GOP leader, said he pressed Obama to secure the border against illegal immigrants. Kyl told the group: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;If we secure the border, then you all wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want to get something in return for doing their duty,â&#x20AC;? Kyl told the group. The White House denied the account over the weekend, and Obama spokesman Bill Burton restated that position Monday when questioned by reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The president didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that,â&#x20AC;? Burton said of Kylâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sen. Kyl knows the president didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that.â&#x20AC;?

Gulf paymaster: People are in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;desperateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shape WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The man President Barack Obama picked to administer the $20 billion oil spill damage fund says no one should underestimate â&#x20AC;&#x153;the frustration and the angerâ&#x20AC;? of people along the Gulf Coast. Attorney Kenneth Feinberg tells a nationally broadcast audience the resentment is real, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;I witnessed it firsthand last week.â&#x20AC;? Feinberg ran the victims claim fund set up after the Sept. 11 terror attacks. He told ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Morning Americaâ&#x20AC;? Monday that â&#x20AC;&#x153;we want to get these claims out quicker.â&#x20AC;? Feinberg said many individuals and businesses in the area are in â&#x20AC;&#x153;desperate financial straits.â&#x20AC;? And he said that officials will watch carefully for any fraudulent claims, but that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that would be a big problem.

Regulators OK plan to police banksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pay policies WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Federal regulators on Monday adopted a plan to ensure that banksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pay policies donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t encourage employees to take reckless gambles like those that contributed to the recent financial crisis. The plan, originally proposed by the Federal Reserve last year, was also endorsed by other key banking regulators â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision. Many banksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; practices have been found deficient in curbing risk-taking based on an in-depth analysis by regulators, the Fed said. It has directed banks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identified â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to take steps to fix their policies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many large banking organizations have already implemented some changes in their incentive compensation policies, but more work clearly needs to be done,â&#x20AC;? said Fed Governor Daniel Tarullo, the central bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point person on the matter.

MICHAEL JACKSON DEATH — ONE YEAR LATER

E-BRIEFS

Attorney: Jackson kids just normal kids

LOS ANGELES (AP) — They are show business royalty, heirs of the King of Pop. Someday, they will be very rich. But a year after their father Michael Jackson’s death, Prince, Paris and Blanket Jackson are normal kids full of fun and pranks, devoted to each other and to their grandmother who is their guardian, according to a lawyer who sees them frequently. They talk about their father and his presence is everywhere in the ranchstyle house in the San Fernando Valley where they live. Pictures and memorabilia adorn the walls. The gated compound has additional residences where other members of the family have lived over the years. “The children are seemingly as normal as normal can be under pretty extraordinary circumstances,” says Adam Streisand, the lawyer who represents Katherine Jackson and a frequent visitor to the compound where she lives with the children. He provided an account of life inside their guarded world in an interview with The Associated Press. The large Jackson family, including eight of Michael’s siblings and their families, has been a source of emotional support for the children, who

And over the past year, Michael Jackson’s parents, children and siblings have moved on with their lives in a world with his music but without him. The three youngsters have seen Michael Jackson’s final concert movie, “This Is It,” but their grandmother, still devastated by the death of her son last June 25, has not watched it. In an interview with London’s Daily Mail, published Sunday, Katherine Jackson said she misses her son every day but sees

his spirit in his three children, whom she is raising “a little less strict” than her son would have. Prince, whose birth name is Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., is the eldest of Michael’s children. At 13, he has developed an interest in filmmaking, and his brother, sister and cousins have been starring in their own home movies. “They have props and sets, and one of them acts as director. They all have roles,” says Streisand. Recently, a snippet of film was leaked to YouTube showing Paris and Blanket in what might have been

scenes from one of their movies. Katherine Jackson told the Daily Mail that Paris, who has a photo shrine to her father on her wall, wants to be an actress. The one disturbance that brought social workers to the home, in March, stemmed from the kids’ moviemaking, Streisand says. Jermaine’s son, Jafar, 13, saw an Internet ad for a stun gun. He bought it by mail, thinking it would be a prop for their movies. When he tried shooting it into a towel, security guards came running. No one was injured. The children love going to the movies, especially action and fantasy films, and are usually transported by security guards who are also on duty at the family compound 24 hours a day. The Jackson kids are avid students of karate and have made friends at their karate classes. Since Michael’s death, the children have continued the home schooling that had been their routine when he was alive. Streisand says a room has been set aside in a building at the estate and turned into a classroom where a tutor conducts classes. But in the fall, Prince will leave the cloistered realm to go to private school, a choice that was made by him and his grandmother.

Attorney mad about Johnston sister’s blog JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Levi Johnston’s attorney is taking exception with a blog kept by his client’s sister, Mercede. Rex Butler says that while Mercede Johnston is free to write Johnston what she wants, she won’t be privy to information from anyone with “Team Levi.” And Butler said Levi’s team isn’t sharing information with her about his plans, movements or other actions. Mercede Johnston couldn’t immediately be reached for comment. Her blog has gotten widespread attention of late, purporting to answer questions about Sarah Palin’s family and her own. Levi Johnston and Palin’s oldest daughter, Bristol, have a son together. Last week, Johnston’s manager said the two were spending more time together for the child’s sake but were not a couple.

Ilan says he hopes 1 million people will each ask through a website to be represented by one of the free dots. So far, the portrait has 250,000 dots, representing fans in 180 countries. Pointillism is an art technique in which small dots are used to form an image. Angelou also read the poem she wrote for Jackson’s funeral, titled “We Had Him.” Queen Latifah read the poem at the funeral.

Randy Jackson expresses faith in LA justice system LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Jackson’s youngest brother says his family is disappointed in a recent ruling allowing a doctor charged in the pop singer’s death to keep his medical license, but they have faith in the judicial process. Randy Jackson released a statement Monday, a week after a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled he didn’t have the authority to suspend the license of Dr. Conrad Murray. Murray faces an involuntary manslaughter charge in Jackson’s death nearly a year ago. Randy Jackson had to be hospitalized after experiencing chest pains the day after last week’s court hearing, and he thanked doctors and fans for their support. His statement says he is feeling “much better, invigorated and spiritually strong,” but does not address what happened to him.

Wrestler Jericho plays it safe on ‘Downfall’ show

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Pro wrestler Chris Jericho is willing to take hits in the ring but will be playing it safe as host of ABC’s new game show “Downfall.” “Downfall” is staged atop a 10-story downtown Los Angeles building, with contestants vying for prizes and up to $1 million cash by taking a trivia quiz. Players face the risk of being pushed off the roof — strapped into a decelerator harness — if they lose. Jericho is on the rooftop, too, but tethered to a platform to avoid an unexpected trip. “It’s scary when you get up there and stand on the edge,” Jericho said. “That’s the reason I’m the host. I don’t ever have to go over the edge — unless the show gets canceled, in which case I’m the first one that gets thrown over.”

SUPREME COURT Jerusalem revives plan to raze Palestinian homes JERUSALEM (AP) — A Jerusalem planning body on Monday approved a plan to raze 22 Palestinian homes in east Jerusalem to make room for an Israeli tourist center, a decision that could raise tensions in the divided city and deepen the conflict with the Obama administration. Back in March, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had pressured Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat to hold up the plan so authorities could consult with Palestinians who would lose their homes — a delay that appeared to be aimed at fending off criticism from the U.S. “Now, after fine-tuning the plan and seeking more cooperation with the residents as far as their needs and improving the quality of their lives, the municipality is ready to submit the plans for the first stage of approval,” said Barkat’s spokesman, Stephan Miller, before the city’s planning commission agreed to the plan. Final approval, which would require an Interior Ministry green light, could take many more months.

High court upholds anti-terror law By MARK SHERMAN Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s electricity minister resigned Monday in the face of angry protests over the lack of power despite years of promises that the situation would improve. Karim Waheed’s resignation came hours after demonstrators took to the streets for a third day in a row in oil-rich southern Iraq where an unusually hot and humid summer has spiked tensions over electricity outages. The issue has taken center stage in Iraq since two protesters were killed Saturday when security forces opened fire to disperse a crowd in the southern oil hub of Basra. Riot police in nearby Nasiriyah used water cannons after demonstrators began pelting them with stones Monday. Waheed, who held his post since Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki formed his Cabinet in 2006, said in a televised address that he had launched a series of projects to fix the grid, but he was stymied by a lack of funding and fuel needed for power plants.

12 Years Parts & Labor! Strongest Warranty On The Market!

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court upheld the government’s authority Monday to ban aid to designated terrorist groups, even when that support is intended to steer the groups toward peaceful and legal activities. The court left intact a federal law that the Obama administration considers an important tool against terrorism. But human rights organizations say the law’s ban on providing training and advice to nearly four dozen organizations on a State Department list squanders a chance to persuade people to renounce extremism. The justices voted 6-3 to reject a free-speech challenge from humanitarian aid groups to the law that bars “material support” — everything from money to technical know-how to legal advice — to foreign terrorist organizations. The aid groups were only challenging provi-

sions that put them at risk of being prosecuted for talking to terrorist organizations about nonviolent activities. But Chief Justice John Roberts said in his opinion for the court that material support intended even for benign purposes can help a terrorist group in other ways. “Such support frees up other resources within the organization that may be put to violent ends,” Roberts said in an opinion joined by four other conservative justices, but also the liberal Justice John Paul Stevens. The court often looks skeptically on laws that criminalize speech and holds them to a high level of scrutiny. But Roberts said there is good reason in this case to defer to Congress and the president, “uniquely positioned to make principled distinctions between activities that will further terrorist conduct and undermine United States foreign policy, and those that will not.” Justice Stephen Breyer

took the unusual step of reading his dissent aloud in the courtroom. “Not even the ’serious and deadly problem’ of international terrorism can require automatic forfeiture of First Amendment rights,” he said. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor joined the dissent. Solicitor General Elena Kagan argued the government’s case at the high court more than two months ago before President Barack Obama nominated her to replace Stevens, who will retire in days. The Obama administration said the “material support” law is one of its most important terrorfighting tools. It has been used about 150 times since Sept. 11, resulting in 75 convictions. Most of those cases involved money and other substantial support for terrorist groups. Only a handful dealt with the kind of speech involved in the case decided Monday. Human rights groups said they were stunned by

the ruling. David Cole, a Georgetown law professor who represented the aid groups at the Supreme Court, said the court essentially ruled that “the First Amendment permits the government to make human rights advocacy and peacemaking a crime.” The aid groups involved had trained the Kurdistan Workers’ Party in Turkey on how to bring human rights complaints to the United Nations and assisted them in peace negotiations, but suspended the activities when the U.S. designated the Kurdish organization, known as the PKK, a terrorist group in 1997. They also wanted to give similar help to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam in Sri Lanka, but they, too, were designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. in 1997. Representatives of the Tamil Tigers appealed the designation to a federal appeals court, which upheld the government. The PKK has not challenged its terrorist designation.

Smith breaks arm; to miss minicamp

U.S. OPEN

By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer AP photo

FEDERER DODGES MONUMENTAL UPSET WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — For Roger Federer, Wimbledon nearly ended at the beginning. The six-time champion overcame a two-set deficit to avert a monumental first-round upset, beating Alejandro Falla 5-7, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-0. Federer has reached the tournament final each of the past seven years, but Monday he barely survived the traditional opening match on Centre Court as defending champion. “I live another day,” Federer said. “This one is one I should have lost. That’s sometimes how grass-court tennis works.” The 60th-ranked Falla had lost all 11 sets in his previous four matches against Federer, but the Colombian played brilliant tennis to take charge of the match early. The turnaround came in the fourth set with Falla serving for the match and three points from victory, when Federer broke for only the second time. Federer played his best after that. It’s the third time in a row he has won after losing the first two sets at a Grand Slam event, but the close call was a new experience in such an early round. “You definitely feel uncomfortable,” Federer said. “For me it’s not normal to be down two sets to love. Especially at Wimbledon and early on in Grand Slams, it’s something I’m not quite used to.” After winning the first two sets, Falla received treatment from a trainer during the next three changeovers for an upper left leg injury, but he said it didn’t affect the outcome. No. 5 Andy Roddick, who lost to Federer in last year’s epic final, began his title bid by beating fellow American Rajeev Ram 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. Roddick never faced a break point and committed only 10 unforced errors.

Is U.S. Open more about survival than excitement? By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

NBA KARL SHOWS UP AT PREDRAFT WORKOUTS

DENVER (AP) — With his health steadily improving, Denver Nuggets coach George Karl is starting to feel more like his old self again. So much so that he said Monday he fully expects to be back on the bench next season — health permitting, of course. Karl, who has battling throat and neck cancer, feels “a little better” with each passing week. He still uses a feeding tube because of the sores in his mouth caused by efforts to kill the tumor and he has lost a lot of weight. But he’s taking more brisk walks and spending more time involved in team meetings. He showed up Monday for a predraft workout, just to take a look at a few of the players brought in to town even though the Nuggets currently don’t have a pick in Thursday’s NBA draft.

nyone looking for excitement in the final round of the U.S. Open is at the wrong major. They call it the toughest test in golf for a reason. This championship is won by not losing. And if the expectations are any different, blame it on the false expectations created by Torrey Pines. That’s where Tiger Woods delivered perhaps the most riveting U.S. Open in the last 10 years. The lasting images from 2008 at Torrey Pines are Woods holing a 12-foot birdie putt on the final hole to force a playoff, Rocco Mediate making the long, downhill birdie putt on the 15th hole to take the lead in the playoff, and Woods making another birdie on the 18th to force overtime. The stage was set for such dramatics on Sunday at Pebble Beach. Graeme McDowell was in front and three of the best players from this generation — Woods, Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els, with a combined 184 victories and 21 majors — were poised to chase him down. The chase turned into five-car crash.

CHARLOTTE — Carolina Panthers receiver Steve Smith will miss the start of training camp with a broken left forearm. Blame it on a mysterious game of flag football. Smith’s agent, Derrick Fox, initially said Monday that the fourtime Pro Bowl pick was injured when Smith he slipped playing with children at Smith’s camp over the weekend. Later in the day, Fox said he wasn’t sure if it was a flag football game with kids or adults, raising questions if Smith may have violated his contract if he was involved in a game with adults. Smith will be sidelined for at least the first couple of weeks of camp, but is expected to be ready for the season opener Sept. 12 at the New York Giants. “He put his arm out to brace himself. When he did he felt a sharp pain,” Fox said. “He went in (Sunday) afternoon to have an X-ray and it showed a break.” Smith had surgery Sunday night to have a small plate and screws inserted in his arm. Fox said while it’s the same arm he broke at the end of last season, it’s in a different spot and not his wrist. Smith suffered no nerve damage, is expected to make a full recovery and could return as soon as midway through the preseason. Fox said he had no knowledge of Smith playing in a flag football league, but was sure the Panthers would not take action against his contract since he’ll be ready for the start of the season. Standard NFL contracts bar playing football outside of team settings. Panthers general manager Marty Hurney released a statement. “Steve talked to me and he feels terrible about it,” Hurney said. “Now his focus is on rehabilitating process and getting back as quickly as he can.” The 31-year-old Smith ranks first in team history with 58 touchdowns and 32 games of 100 or more yards receiving.

NEWARK, Del. — Craig Oates, a Lee County graduate, has been selected to receive a 2010 Master’s Scholarship from the National Association of Athletic Trainers (NATA) Foundation. Oates, who is the son of David and Mary Hawley Oates, will be recognized at the foundation’s Scholarship and Leadership Breakfast, to

be held at the 60th Annual Meeting and Clinical Symposia in Philadelphia from Tuesday-Friday. Advised by Buz Swanik, associate professor in the department, Oates is doing research on reactive knee stiffness regulation strategies. His work examines how a person’s muscles promote joint stiffness to maximize both stability and performance through either activation or relaxation. He will also determine

what types of physical conditioning programs are optimal in rehabilitation settings to promote different stiffness regulation strategies. Oates, graduate student in the Department of Kinesiology and Applied Physiology at the University of Delaware, is currently the athletic trainer for the Blue Hens baseball team, and he served as the athletic

NBA DRAFT

Bobcats eyeing ways to get picks

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Charlotte Bobcats are talking with teams about either purchasing a pick or making a trade that would yield selections in Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NBA draft. Coach Larry Brown said Monday that several teams are looking to give up picks. The Michael Jordanowned Bobcats donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own a selection in either the first or second round. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Michael might buy a draft pick. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We might be able to move a contract to get a draft pick. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. It might be a trade involved that could do that. You better be aware of the talent and what value you have on a pick.â&#x20AC;? While Brown has shied away from saying for certain that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll return for a third season in Charlotte, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been busy putting dozens of players through pre-draft workouts over the past few weeks.

Oates says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a phenomenal season with some great memories, including the great run to win the title.â&#x20AC;?

Jeremy Wise, who played at Southern Mississippi before spending a year in the NBA Development League, worked out Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a miracle that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got so many kids in without having a pick,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re real fortunate in that respect. With 50 underclassmen declaring, you might find a lot of kids under normal circumstances would have gotten selected that maybe would be available if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not drafted. We have to be active in that regard.â&#x20AC;? There are several incentives for Charlotte to acquire picks. Starting point guard Raymond Felton will be an unrestricted free agent on July 1 and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible the Bobcats wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t re-sign him. With D.J. Augustin the only other point guard on the roster, general manager Rod Higgins has said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to get another point guard if Felton doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return. The Bobcats are also close to the luxury tax, a payroll threshold that Jordan said the money-losing Bobcats wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go over.

Oates says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chance to work with Dr. Swanik and learn about muscle stiffness and the neurological aspects of knee injury is a new and exciting aspect of my research that I am excited to be able to pursue. I also like being in an environment where I can work independently with my own sports teams while at the same time know that I will be supported in whatever way I need by the clinical AT staff here.â&#x20AC;?

Lakers celebrate title LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thousands of fans cheered the NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers during a victory parade Monday that players promised to repeat next year with a third consecutive title. Police reported a largely wellbehaved crowd. Nine people were arrested for various minor offenses and two children were reported missing, police said. Authorities did not provide a crowd estimate. Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Derek Fisher, Andrew Bynum and Ron Artest waved to the throngs from a flatbed 18-wheeler as fans yelled and snapped pictures. Many people along the two-mile route waited hours for a glimpse of their heroes as they rolled past in a convoy that also included double-decker buses and fire engines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw them for three minutes, but it was worth every minute,â&#x20AC;? said Trisha Siqueiros, 29, who drove two hours from Indio with her father, Ron Nieto, 51, for the parade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only thing is they should have driven a

The top five players on the leaderboard, including Gregory Havret of France, combined to make two birdies on the back nine. One of them came from Els, whose 5-iron on the par-3 12th hopped out of the rough and rolled 2 feet away. The other came from Woods, who blasted out of the bunker fronting the 14th green to inside a foot. Two things stand out about McDowellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;He started the final round three shots out of the lead, closed with a 3-over 74 and won the championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was surprised,â&#x20AC;? said McDowell, whose 74 was the highest final round by a U.S. Open champion since Andy North shot a 74 in the final round at Oakland Hills in 1985. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think 3-over par was going to get the job done today.

Woods closed with a 75 and finished three shots behind in a tie for fourth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only thing it cost us was a chance to win the U.S. Open,â&#x20AC;? he said. As for Els? He lost his way along the Pacific coast, twice hitting shots down the side of the hill toward the beach on the 10th hole for double bogey, and the bogeys he made before and after that hole didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help.

Kobe Bryant raises the NBA championship trophy during a victory parade for the teams 16th NBA title, in downtown Los Angeles on Monday.

Team members vowed to play hard for a 17th championship next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When next season starts, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure,â&#x20AC;? Bryant told reporters. He added that of his five titles, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is the best one by far because it was the hardest one to get.â&#x20AC;? Artest, who donned a top hat with purple and gold feathers and sported an unlit cigar during the ride, also said the team plans to buckle down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to party for another week, then start putting in the work and write history again next year,â&#x20AC;? he said. The parade, which took the Lakers from Staples Center downtown to the Galen Center at the University of Southern California, started with the purple-spangled-clad Laker Girls, who received choruses of wolf-whistles. Missing from the parade was coach Phil Jackson, who had to attend previously scheduled medical checkups, said team spokesman John Black. Jackson has said his health will determine whether he will return as coach.

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

‘Cool’ helmets will make summer riders much safer DEAR ABBY: Please remind parents and teenagers that it is “cool” to wear a helmet when riding bikes and skateboards. A child in our town died recently after suffering a head injury, and we have just received word that the son of a close friend (age 23) has started having seizures because of a head injury he suffered as a teen after falling from a skateboard. I had my grandson decorate his helmet. All his friends thought it looked great, and that made it “cool” to wear it. With summer here and kids outside, wearing a helmet cannot be stressed enough. — VIGILANT GRANDMA OUT WEST

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Emotional issues will stop you from getting ahead if you don’t deal with matters quickly and move on. Opportunities will pass you by if you can’t let go of the past. Forward thinking is the only answer to getting ahead. Speak up and take control of your life before you look back with regrets. Your numbers are 4, 11, 16, 21, 26, 35, 43 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll get into trouble if you act impulsively or you are overindulgent. Keep your thoughts to yourself when dealing with personal issues involving a partner. You’ll meet with resistance if you try to force your will on others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take your time and be sure of what’s required of you before you start something new or begin a partnership. Use past experience, coupled with observations and you will come up with an alternative that works for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be misquoted or give the impression you are offering something you are not. Feeling rundown due to emotional troubles is likely, so leave time to put your feet up and digest everything that’s happened. Recap and strategize. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You will have fun if you take part in an activity or event that brings you in contact with people having similar interests. Some of the uncertainties that you may be experiencing in your personal life can be turned around, if you are discuss your feelings openly. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Have alternative plans in place in case someone pulls a last-minute cancellation. Adaptability and diversification will keep you moving forward and accomplishing your goals. Don’t let a relationship that isn’t working cause you to miss out on something you really want to do. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t get bogged

WORD JUMBLE

down with details when there are more important opportunities being made available to you. You shouldn’t take a financial risk. Recognize and take part in a safe, long-term investment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t make a move or decision just because someone wants you to. Do what works best for you and refuse to let anyone bully you. Your ideas will be innovative. Don’t feel that someone else has better alternatives. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Emotional ups and downs may cloud your vision but, if you can wrap your head around some of your creative endeavors, you will make progress. Refrain from traveling unless it promises to enhance, inspire or motivate you for something you are working on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Keep your plans and strategy well hidden or someone may take advantage of your openness and steal your ideas. A partnership with someone who shares your opinion has potential but must be handled with care. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Share your opinions and you can change the way others think of you and your plans. Push a financial, legal or contractual deal through. Misdirection regarding a job you are doing is likely. Find out what’s required before you start. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Deception and personal problems are apparent if you let your heart decide your fate. You will have plenty of opportunities to meet someone but do your research and find out who is good for you and who isn’t. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Putting more time, effort and energy into your job will bring rewards and ensure security. Helping a friend is fine but consider what type of assistance you are willing to give -- making suggestions, lending a hand or a cash injection.

DEAR GRANDMA: You are not only a vigilant grandma, but also a clever one. Falls are common among bike riders, skateboarders, Rollerbladers, and those who drive and ride all-terrain vehicles. According to the Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery Network, an estimated 7 million Americans seek medical care every year for injuries sustained during sports or recreation-related activities, an estimated 4.3 million of whom are treated in emergency rooms. The highest rates of sports- and recreation-related injuries are among adolescents 10 to 14 years of age. When a child’s head hits cement, wood or hard-packed dirt, the result can be a traumatic injury that leads to concussion, permanent brain injury or even death. That is

why children who participate in sports should be strongly encouraged to wear protective headgear at all times. o DEAR ABBY: Some friends who live out of state just left, after inviting themselves to stay at our home while they attended to family business. We live in a town with many hotels. We enjoy their company, but when we visited them last year, we stayed at their bed and breakfast (at their invitation) and were charged $175 a night even though there were empty rooms at their inn. My wife says I should shut up, but I feel used. Your thoughts? — MIFFED IN MICHIGAN DEAR MIFFED: Your feelings are accurate. You welcomed this couple as friends; they welcomed you as paying guests. Now that you

o DEAR ABBY: I am a 42-yearold mother of three, married to my husband for 15 years. I am active in my church and community and live a good, decent life. My 20th college reunion is coming up in September. I lived a wild life in college, drank too much and was promiscuous. I would like to attend the reunion with my husband, who is also an alumnus. While I will love seeing old friends, I feel apprehensive because I will be among some people I once had relations with. Abby, I am not the same person I was back then. Part of me wants to go to the reunion to show that I have changed. My husband is aware of my past and accepts it. Should I go? — DIFFERENT NOW IN NEW JERSEY DEAR DIFFERENT NOW: Go! I’m sure you won’t be the only person there who was “wild” when you were younger. Show up, have a good time, and let bygones be bygones.

ODDS AND ENDS Rat suspected of starting fire in Yakima YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — A rat is suspected of starting a fire at the Veterans of Foreign War building in Yakima. KAPP-TV reports that investigators discovered a rat had chewed through an electrical cord. The rat apparently caught fire and ran to its nest, igniting flammable items. The fire last week spread quickly through the building, damaging several rooms and war memorabilia. The fire department says damage could exceed $1 million.

First day of summer means snowballs at Pa. museum PITTSBURGH (AP) — The patrons carrying small coolers and plastic bags into Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Science Center weren’t bringing their lunch. They were packing snowballs. Monday marked the first day of summer and the science museum’s annual Snowball Day. Visitors are encouraged every year to save a snowball from the winter in their freezer and then take it to the science center on the first day of summer. Those who do get to name their own price to get into the museum for the day. But the most fun comes when they get to throw their snowballs into the Ohio River from the deck of a submarine that is docked outside the museum.

MY ANSWER New website looks to tout all that’s good about N.J. TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Tired of boorish comments and jokes about New Jersey, residents and business people have created a website to express their Garden State pride. The site — JerseyDoesntStink.com — is designed to rally those who are tired of the putdowns about pollution, wisecracks about wise guys, and cheap shots about corruption. With companion Facebook and Twitter pages, state residents can sound off online in defense of their home state.

Mannequin mistaken for mummy in abandoned boat SUGARLOAF KEY, Fla. (AP) — A reported “mummified” body on an abandoned boat in the Florida Keys turned out to be a mannequin. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office says a young couple spotted what they thought was a dead body in an abandoned boat off Sugarloaf Key on Saturday night. They said it appeared to be mummified. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission sent a boat to take deputies to the scene. They found only a mannequin on the boat — no human remains were on board.

Share your blessings from God Q: A friend of mine claims to be interested in Christianity, but whenever I answer one of his questions, he just comes up with another question. Do you think he’s sincere, or am I wasting my time trying to talk to him about Jesus? -- D.N. A: I don’t know if he’s sincere or not; he may not even know himself. Sadly, some people today are like the ancient Athenians Paul met, who “spent their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas” (Acts 17:21). But even if your friend isn’t sincere -- or even if he only sees God as an interesting topic rather than the divine and holy Creator of the universe -- I still encourage you to share your faith in Christ with him. After all, God loves him just as much as He loves you -- and God is able to break through the shells of indifference and rebellion that people erect around their souls. Pray for him, that God’s Spirit will open his eyes to the truth -- both about himself and about Christ. Let me urge you also to share with him what Jesus Christ has done for you. You may not be able to answer all his questions -- but he can’t deny the reality of what Christ has done in your life. And if you find this is hard to do, perhaps God is speaking to you about your own need to walk more closely with Him every day. In addition, ask God to give you the boldness to ask your friend if he’s ever faced his own need of God. He may believe he’s self-sufficient and doesn’t need Christ -- but he does. He needs Him both for this life and for eternity.
