Petition: Ban gas chambers

Budget passes without tax hike

Lee one of 20-plus counties in state that still uses gas to put down animals

By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — It may be legal, but it has animal rights activists up in arms. More than 20 counties in North Carolina use gas chambers in their animal shelters as a method of euthanasia, and

QUICKREAD

Lee County is one of them.

Numerous petitions to end the use of gas chambers in North Carolina shelters are circulating around the Internet, and Sanford resident Keely Wood distributed a petition from the North Carolina Coalition for Humane Eutha-

nasia to local pet stores and feed stores.

“If you’re going to put an animal to sleep, to be sitting in somebody’s loving arms and having his final minutes go that way is better than

SANFORD — Lee County commissioners approved a $61.9 million budget for the 2010-2011 fiscal year Monday, speeding a package that maintains the county’s 75-cent property tax rate.

After weeks of deliberation on the spending plan and clashes over one-time cash injections for ailing local nonprofits, county commissioners needed only a few moments to pass the budget during Monday’s meeting.

Commissioner Linda Shook, an outspoken critic of spending on some nonprofits, was the only board member to vote against the package.

The budget included nearly $75,000 in spending on nonprofits like Sanford’s Temple Theatre, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sanford/Lee County, HAVEN in Lee County, Johnston-Lee-Harnett Community Action, the Helping Hand Clinic in Sanford, Lee County Industries and the Lee County Arts Council.

RALEIGH — N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall will face U.S. Sen. Richard Burr in November’s general election after beating former state Sen. Cal Cunningham in a runoff Tuesday.

With 60 percent of precincts counted, the Associated Press called Tuesday’s Democratic primary runoff Marshall for Marshall by a wide 61-39 percent margin.

Marshall also won May’s primary, but failed to get a wide enough margin of victory to avoid a runoff.

According to the AP, Marshal faces an uphill race against Burr in November. Burr has served one term as one of the state’s Senate representatives.

GOOD MORNING Pet of the Week Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption

Bianca Bianca is a beautiful female all-white domestic short hair. Her quiet, refined mannerisms lead us to suspect she may have had the life of royalty, before falling upon the hard times that brought her to us. True to her “queenly” nature, she’s not sharing her age (but we’ll confide that she’s 6 years old); but to say she’s an adult with lots of life ahead of her sums it up.

Bianca appears tolerant of other kitties and like many felines, will play best with a human to engage her. She is litter box trained and her lovely white coat will hopefully bring you happy memories of this holiday season for many years to come.

Bianca’s adoption fee this month is only $25.

Bianca is Fiv/FELV negative, current on vaccines and preventatives, micro-chipped and spayed. See CARA’s Web site (www.caranc.org) for more info or to apply to adopt.

Starting Thursday, you also can get a printed copy of the survey at any of the county libraries in Goldston, Siler City and Pittsboro or the County Manager’s Office on the second floor of the Courthouse Annex in Pittsboro.

The deadline to submit the survey is Friday July 2 at 5 p.m.

Siler City man hollers ‘summer,’ wins annual title

SPIVEY’S CORNER — A Siler City man who won the National Hollerin’ Contest says he almost disqualified himself by going over the four-minute time limit.

Tony Peacock won the 42nd annual contest this past weekend in Spivey’s Corner. His hollerin’ rendition of the popular Gershwin tune “Summertime� got him the title.

Peacock says he had to cut short his last holler because he had only two seconds left.

The contest is held to benefit the Spivey’s Corner Volunteer Fire Department.

The winner gets bragging rights and opportunities to perform at events and on television.

Participants competed in several categories: men’s national hollerin’ contest, ladies callin’, conch shell blowin’, whistlin’ and junior and teen hollerin’.

PITTSBORO — The Chatham County Board of Commissioners on Monday approved an $84,401,967 general fund county budget for 201011 that reduces the tax increase proposed in the County Manager’s budget by more than a half a penny.

To fund schools and

the opening of new facilities the board approved a tax rate of 62.19 cents, a 1.97 cent increase. The tax impact on a home valued at $200,000 is $39 per year.

The approved budget retains the proposed 6-percent increase in school operations, but reduces the appro-

priation for non-school county operations, other than personnel, by 4.4%.

Almost 1.8 cents of the 1.97-cent property tax increase is needed to open a new middle school and to cover other school funding needs. “Schools are always a top priority, along with economic development,�

said Commissioner Chair Sally Kost. “A major goal this year was funding the opening of the Margaret B. Pollard Middle School and helping the school system make up for a projected $1.6 million shortfall in state funding, which could have led to teacher layoffs.� — From staff reports

MOORE COUNTY

County’s jail plan moves forward CARTHAGE (MCT) — Despite vocal opposition from town residents, the Moore County Board of Commissioners moved ahead Monday night with preliminary plans regarding the building of a new detention center in the downtown.

By a 3-2 vote, the board approved a resolution on $50 million in tax-exempt bonds that must be approved by the Local Government Commission.

The bonds would pay for the proposed Public Safety and Detention Center, which would not exceed $40 million. The other money, not to exceed $10 million, would go toward public works utilities projects for water and sewer.

Previously, the board approved construction plans on the detention center and has advertised for bids. Those bids will be evaluated and return to the board for approval. If the Local Government Commission OKs the bonds and the board of commissioners approves financing, the project would move forward.

The commission could consider action on the bonds at its first meeting in September. “I don’t want people to think we’re building the jail,� Commissioner Nick Picerno said. “This is simply getting the paperwork out.�

Budget Continued from Page 1A

Board of Commissioners Chairman Richard Hayes described the nonprofit discussion as the “only controversial thing� in the budget. “It’s pretty tight, conservative,� Hayes said. “It did do the basic thing we need to do, to maintain basic services to the county.�

HAVEN — or Helping Abuse and Violence End Now — serves victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. The Helping Hand Clinic provides medical help for the uninsured and the poor.

Lee County Industries helps route individuals with disabilities to gainful employment and Community Action specializes in outreach to the poor through various initiatives, including its popular Head Start program for children.

Deliberations on assisting the nonprofits began after the recessionwracked Boys and Girls Clubs began pleading

WHO GETS WHAT? Nonprofit Expenditures in the 2010-2011 Lee County budget Boys and Girls Clubs $20,000 Johnston-Lee-Harnett Community Action $13,440 HAVEN $12,000 Temple Theatre $12,000 Lee County Industries $10,000 Helping Hand Clinic $5,000 Arts Council $2,400

with local government agencies for a hand.

HAVEN came under fire from Shook in recent weeks after she said she learned the nonprofit had assisted illegal immigrants.

Shook commended County Manager John Crumpton for maintaining a tight budget, but reaffirmed her opposition to alotting county funds for the program, arguing that about $37,000 spent on groups like HAVEN, Temple and Community Action would have been better funneled to the county’s busy Department of Social Services. “I know that $37,000 is a drop in the bucket to the entire budget, but I, on principal for one thing, I just can’t allocate taxpayer dollars to go toward the services of non-

English speaking people,�

Shook said Tuesday.

Shook took particular issue with the $12,000 budgeted for HAVEN, saying the organization initially requested $10,000 but ended up receiving more from commissioners. “That’s a slap in the face to all of our department heads who had to sit down and justify every nickle of their budget,� she said.

Hayes has said in the past that he was not concerned about HAVEN’s policy toward illegal immigrants, arguing the group serves a vital need for the community.

HAVEN leaders, meanwhile, said they are prohibited through their grant funding from asking about a person’s citizenship status.

Hayes said Tuesday that commissioners wanted to help people this year before it faces looming local funding cuts from the N.C. General Assembly. “We’ve tried to put everybody on notice, including our own departments, that next year all bets are off,� he said.

Sanford officials wrangled over a failed attempt to cut taxes this month, but the conversation was never a major point in county commission meetings.

Hayes said it would have been “unwise� with budget difficulties on the horizon. “Everybody would like a tax cut,� he said. “That’s like apple pie and motherhood.�

Board of Commissioners Vice Chairman Larry “Doc� Oldham described the spending plan as a “pretty lean� budget, helped along with additional local ABC revenues that cleared the way for nonprofit funding. “We wanted to do something for nonprofits because everybody is in need,� Oldham said.

Potential for big things there along U.S. 1 Our View Issue: Possible mixeduse development in the Deep River area along U.S. 1

Our stance: Rezoning the land is the right first step, even though construction may be years down the road

We know better than to think, “If they zone it, it will come,” but the possibility of a commercial district — with retail, industrial and residential — along U.S. 1 north of the Bypass and near the Deep River area has promise.

The Lee County Board of Commissioners heard plans for a 491-acre rezoning pitch that, if approved and if it ever comes to fruition, would alter the landscape of northern Lee County, and we think for the better. The land, which includes 19 tracts and several landowners, is located near Sanford’s current industrial park. The landowners are asking for 60 acres to be rezoned for commercial use and

the remaining 431 acres for “light industrial.”

This week’s discussion met with little resistance, but we imagine some with homes in the Deep River area will balk at the idea of more “noise,” and the resistance may pick up as talks progress. But the one word we think about when going over the potential of this land is “jobs” ... something Lee County could sure use more of.

Despite being one of the smallest counties in North Carolina, one thing Lee has plenty of is land. And developments along U.S. 1 — already a major corridor — will do little to make Lee County a concrete jungle, as

some in our state have become from over-development.

Stroud’s Triassic LLC, which worked on Chapel Hill’s Southern Village retail center, is involved in the talks over this land, which adds intrigue to the potential. A Southern Village-esque center in Lee County would be a shot in the arm on the level of the retail popping up in the southern end of Lee County around Walmart.

The land is ideal — minutes from Apex and Cary, where families tend to have fatter wallets (according to the Census, of course) and minutes from retail-hungry Lee County residents who are pining for shopping alternatives.

Add a completed U.S. 421

Bypass (2012) and a tollway connecting U.S. 1 with RTP and RDU (also 2012), and one could say these landowners are sitting on a potential gold mine.

Again, the only thing going on right now is “talk,” and who’s to say the retailers will agree with us that the location is ideal. Who’s to say all that will come of it is another industrial park (which may not be so great for shoppers, but again ... jobs).

There’s much to be done, much to be talked about and many future rumors to float before we see a single slab of concrete.

But the rezoning?

It’s a start.

Summer has arrived

S

ummer officially arrived on Monday. No one has to convince me that the hottest months of the year are here.

As I write this column, in an air conditioned building, I have a fan blowing as well.

I can remember visiting with my grandparents in Chapel Hill when they did not have air conditioning, and it didn’t seem as hot as it does today.

It’s probable that we’ve become so accustomed to living with air conditioning that it’s difficult to live without it.

Oh, well, I notice that the predicted temperatures for the remainder of the week are in the 90s.

I hope that you’ll find a way to keep cool in these hot, humid conditions.

Anniversary celebration Tuesday at lunch was the anniversary day celebration at Ron’s Bar restaurant in Sanford.

The line was lengthy — but the food was outstanding as the anniversary special included a meat, two vegetables, bread and drink for just $2.

It’s mighty nice of the Ron’s Barn folks to offer this anniversary special each year.

My selection included Ron’s barbecue, with buttered potatoes and baked beans.

Ron’s Barn is just one of the many good places to eat here in Lee County.

Our State and foods Speaking of good food, it was a pleasure to read the July 2010 issue of Our State magazine.

One of the feature articles was titled “100 Foods You Must Eat In North Carolina’s 100 Counties,” written by David Bailey.

I’ll not spoil the surprise, rather I’d recommend that you get a copy of the magazine and read about the recommendations.

However, as a sneak peak, one of the foods is from Lee County.

On the list is Jackson Bros. Produce, located at 2424 Jefferson Davis Highway, in Sanford. The don’t miss item that is recommended: Mitchell’s Chow Chow.

Also on the list is: The Fearrington House Restaurant of Pittsboro (Chatham County), with the don’t miss item of Vanilla-Seared and Smoked Foie Gras; Mrs. Picky Fanicky’s Foods of Erwin (Harnett County, with the don’t miss item of North Carolina Apple Pie MmmMarmalade; and Sweet Basil from Southern Pines (Moore County), with the don’t miss item of The Hot Vegetarian Focaccia.

Needless to say, it’s fine to visit outside North Carolina, but when it comes to good food, the Tar Heel state is well blessed as you can see from the Our State article — and from your own travels of favorite places.

All shook up for BP J

oe Barton is not alone. The Texas congressman’s lavish sympathy for BP — which he sees not as perpetrator of a preventable disaster but as victim of a White House “shakedown” — is actually what passes for mainstream opinion among conservative Republicans today.

The GOP leadership came down hard on Barton after he apologized to the oil company for the beastly way it was being treated by the White House, saying he was “ashamed” that BP was being pressured to put $20 billion into a “slush fund” to compensate victims of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Barton was reportedly threatened with losing his powerful position as ranking member of the Energy and Commerce Committee if he didn’t retract his words, and pronto.

But Barton was only echoing a statement that Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., had issued a day earlier in the name of the Republican Study Committee, a caucus of House conservatives whose website claims more than 115 members. The statement groused that there is “no legal authority for the president to compel a private company to set up or contribute to an escrow account” and accused the Obama administration of “Chicago-style shakedown politics.”

Just to review: A group comprising roughly two-thirds of all Republicans in the House takes the position that President Obama was wrong to demand that BP set aside money to guarantee that those whose livelihoods are being ruined by the oil spill will be compensated. In other words, it’s more important to kneel at the altar of radical conservative ideology than to feel any sense of compassion for one’s fellow Americans. This, ladies and gentlemen, is how today’s GOP rolls.

To be sure, there are Republicans who realize that this is not the message the party should be sending as the midterm election nears. “I couldn’t disagree with Joe Barton more,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Party leaders insisted that there was nothing to see at the cliff where Barton went through the political guard rails and that everyone should just move along.

But no. Let’s slow down and crane our necks.

Barton’s remarks were no spontaneous gaffe. They came in a prepared statement and clearly represent his genuine view of the situation: that the rights of a private company are absolute even when weighed against the clear interests of the public.

While the party leadership has managed to squelch members of Congress who might have been tempted to weigh in on Barton’s side, the conservative amen chorus can’t help itself. Rush Limbaugh called the agreement on the $20 billion escrow fund “unconstitutional” and accused the administration of acting like “a branch of organized crime.” Newt Gingrich said the White House was “extorting money from a company.”

Eugene Robinson Columnist Eugene Robinson is a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group

Stuart Varney of Fox News claimed — falsely — that Obama had moved to “seize a private company’s assets” and complained that the action was “Hugo Chavez-like.” Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol said that “I have no sympathy for BP,” but then proceeded to be sympathetic, offering that “it’s not helpful for the country, for the economy as a whole, for the president to bully different companies and different industries.”

I’d advise these people to get a grip, but they’re just saying what they believe. It just happens that what they believe is absurd.

There is ample evidence that BP, one of the biggest and most profitable oil companies in the world, cut corners in operating the Deepwater Horizon rig that resulted in the worst spill ever to despoil U.S. waters.

BP’s assertions about its ability to prevent, contain and clean up any leakage of oil turned out to be patently false. If we were not dealing with such a tragic situation, the company’s tin ear for public relations would be comic; the unforgettable line from BP’s chairman — “We care about the small people” — sounds like something Mel Brooks might dream up for a sequel to “The Producers.”

Meanwhile, thousands of fishermen, shrimpers, oil-rig workers, restaurant owners and others along the Gulf Coast are suffering the economic effects of the spill.

The environmental damage, still worsening, will be felt for decades. A mile beneath the surface, that noxious plume of gas and oil continues to billow.

Yes, President Obama used the power of his office to pressure BP to set money aside for compensation. If Republicans believe he shouldn’t have, then by all means they should speak up. Come November, the voters will be able to decide who’s right.

Today’s Prayer Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me.”

(John 14:1 KJV) PRAYER: Dear God, in the name of Jesus, give us faith and love to be able to always feel Your presence, in our good hours and bad. Amen.

Well, well, well.

Once again, our illustrious congressman, Bob Etheridge, has shown his true colors and real personality. It amazes me and most other mentally cognizant citizens of the 2nd District just how many Democrats are actually giving him a pass.

I think the word that comes to mind is “typical.”

Let something like this happen to a Republican or independent candidate, and all one would hear would be the wailing and the gnashing of teeth and a bevy of calls for an immediate resignation, but now that a leftist Democrat has behaved in such a questionable manner, all you hear from the Democrats is the typical, “It’s everybody’s fault but Bob’s.”

The liberal local media and the local Democratic Party liners speak about how he was “set up” and victimized and that he’s as innocent as the driven snow, which we all know is not true.

The tape doesn’t lie, folks.

When he was asked if he supported the Obama agenda, all he had to do was say, “Well, why don’t you look at my voting record, and you’ll see that I whole-heartedly support Obama’s agenda.”

Well, why don’t we ask the other questions everybody wants to know — where was he coming from and does being a sitting congressman give him the right to man-handle a student journalist?

The citizens of the 2nd District deserve and demand better than this.

While Etheridge did publicly apologize, it is obvious that it was nothing more than a poor effort at damage or image control. While this assault was bad and criminal in nature, the more egregious crimes Etheridge is guilty of are voting against the will of the good taxpaying citizens of his district and being nothing more than a puppet of that nut-job, Nancy Pelosi, and voting with her 97.6 percent of the time.

If there is any honor left in Bob Etheridge, he should step down from his seat, resign and retire.

The cold hard facts are that Rep. Etheridge is a career politician and has been in Congress way too long, and it’s time for him to go.

The good taxpaying citizens of the 2nd District need to monetarily and actively support any and all opposition to his re-election this November.

Etheridge and his associates are truly what are wrong with Washington. Let’s do our part to put this great country back where it belongs.

FORT BRAGG

Contractor killed, two hurt in drill FORT BRAGG (AP) — A contractor working at a live fire drill was killed and two people were wounded in a training accident on Tuesday at Fort Bragg, military officials said.

Authorities said in a statement that a range control contractor died at Womack Army Medical Center from a gunshot wound. A second range control contractor was shot and transported by air to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill, where he is listed in critical condition.

The two contractors were identified as employees of Echota Technologies Corp., which is located in Tennessee. A telephone call seeking comment was not immediately returned Tuesday evening.

A third person was identified a soldier who is a student at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School.

Thomas said that soldier was grazed in the arm and taken to Womack for treatment.

The identities of the three were not immediately released.

“Something went terribly wrong,” said Tom McCollum, a Fort Bragg spokesman, at a news conference late Tuesday afternoon. “We have to find out what happened so that it doesn’t happen again.”

The incident occurred around 1 p.m. on Range 77 during a drill using small arms. Army investigators were on the scene.

McCollum, who had no specific details of the incident, said accidents like this are rare and the post has myriad safety precautions in place. He said live-fire exercises are necessary because they allow soldiers to train in a war-like environment.

clawing and fighting in a gas chamber,” Wood said.

The petitions are calling for North Carolina shelters to euthanize the animals they can no longer keep by injecting them with sodium pentobarbital, the method used most commonly in veterinarian offices.

Abbey Lindauer of Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption said while it takes about 50 minutes to kill four dogs in a gas chamber, injections allow animals to die quickly and peacefully.

Sometimes if multiple animals are placed in the chamber at a time, they may have to go through the chamber more than once in order to get enough gas to kill them.

“Out of all the major national animal welfare groups, none of them recommend the gas

skyrocketing.

“It’s killing everybody,” Umami owner Roger Pelayo said. “We shoulder most of the loss, so it’s hurt us quite a bit.”

Since April 20, millions of gallons of oil have gushed into the Gulf of Mexico from a damaged BP oil rig, closing off more than 86,000 square miles of the Gulf to fishermen. Local restaurant owners say the cost of shrimp and oysters has doubled since the disaster.

“Since we’re a small

The Sanford Herald / Wednesday, June 23, 2010 / 7A chamber,” Lindauer said.

CARA is currently working with the Lee County Health Department on the issue of humane euthanasia.

Health Director Howard Surface said he sees the petition as a positive thing and that the Health Department appreciates that people want a change. He said injection is something the department is looking into, and that it’s a method the shelter does use from time to time.

“I don’t think it’s a matter of if, but a matter of when,” Surface said.

“To me, the quicker the better to move to another situation.”

According to a 2009 study by the American Humane Association, it costs about $4.66 per animal to euthanize by carbon monoxide poisoning in North Carolina, while the cost of euthanasia by injection is about $2.29 per animal. But Surface said that especially in today’s business, we have to change the prices because of that,” Snappy’s Seafood manager Shinae Lee said.

BayBreeze Seafood owner Dean Papageorgiou remembers a similar seafood price spike after Hurricane Katrina, but not to this extreme.

“Our menu prices haven’t gone up in three and a half years—we’ve tried to keep them low because of the economy—but now they might have to,” Papageorgiou said.

So far, BayBreeze has managed to avoid boosting menu prices. It’s impossible to get seafood from the Gulf like before,

NOW IN N DO SANFOR AND S TUESDAY AYS THURSD

economy, there just isn’t a lot of money available, and the department’s first priority has to be rabies control.

“It costs to make a change,” Surface said.

Before switching to injection, Surface said he would want to make sure that the animal shelter staff has the proper training.

“When you inject animals, there is a safety issue for the people doing the injections, not with normal animals but with feral animals, so we will have to be aware of

that,” Surface said.

The gas chamber at the Lee County shelter is inspected annually, but Lindauer said gas chambers have been known to present their own safety risks.

In North Carolina, she has heard of a few cases of gas chambers exploding. But Lindauer said she sympathizes with the shelter workers who have to put the animals down.

“I don’t envy them in any way,” Lindauer said.

“They do a job I wouldn’t be able to do. It’s highly emotional, and they have a lot of pressure and limited resources.”

Lindauer said that while she would like to see an end to euthanasia, it’s unfortunately a necessary evil as long as the pet population isn’t under control. She said while some nearby clinics, such as the Spay/ Neuter Veterinary Clinic of the Sandhills in Vass, offer cheaper prices for spaying and neuter-

ing, affordable spay and neuter options aren’t available in Lee County.

“You’re looking at $150-$300,” Lindauer said.

Wood said raising awareness about pet overpopulation is part of the reason she distributed the petition.

“My biggest goal would be to educate the public and educate the kids,” Wood said. “You have to start somewhere.”

Wood will speak to the Board of Health on June 30 about humane euthanasia, but Lindauer said changing the law is only part of the solution to a large problem. Even with humane euthanasia, she said, overpopulation and overcrowded shelters are still an issue.

“It’s a community problem,” Lindauer said.

“It’s something that the community needs to come together and say, ‘How are we going to fix this?’”

however, so the restaurant now serves oysters from Texas and shrimp from South America.

The food is still fresh, but more expensive to import. Previously, Papageorgiou could purchase baby shrimp at $1.45 per pound. That’s jumped to $3.10. And since the business goes through about 1,500 pounds of baby shrimp in a week, even a small price increase adds up quickly.

For Snappy’s Seafood, that means that a shrimp boat is now $5.49 instead of $4.48. That doesn’t absorb the extra cost of the seafood, Lee said, but as a small family-owned business, they don’t dare

charge more.

“We have regular customers, and they might stop coming or start looking for a different seafood place,” Lee said.

At Umami, Pelayo decided against changing his menu prices. He opened the restaurant on Horner Boulevard two months ago looking to escape rising rents in Raleigh, and is still seeking to draw in new customers.

“It’s tough when you’re new in town,” Pelayo said.

“It’s not like demand is already high and people will pay whatever price you put on it.”

Instead, Pelayo is reducing portion sizes by

half an ounce. That’s the only way the business can afford it, Pelayo said.

“If we’re not changing the prices on the menu, the portion size has to be affected,” Pelayo said.

“You would think that an extra one or two shrimp per plate wouldn’t make much difference, but by the end of the year, that’s a couple thousand dollars.”

Papageorgiou is planning carefully, since he doesn’t expect seafood prices to go back to normal for nine months—or more.

“I’m just hoping there won’t be a hurricane,” Papageorgiou said.

I don’t think it’s a matter of if (the county will quit using gas chambers), but a matter of when. To me, the quicker the better to move to another situation.”

Shooting Continued from Page 1A

without premeditation, said Capt. David Smith of the Sanford Police Department.

Bell was one of three men reported shot in the altercation near a Woodland Avenue residence sometime before 3:19 a.m.

Sunday.

Police say Bell and 23year-old Marlin Smith of Sanford were transported to UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill with bullet wounds that were not life-threatening.

Bell was shot twice in the right leg and hip area while Marlin Smith was shot once in the lower leg, investigators said.

Buie had been shot at least once in the chest and was pronounced dead at Central Carolina Hospital.

Capt. Smith declined to discuss how or why the shooting started early Sunday morning, adding that police arrested Bell Monday night after conferring with the office of Lee County District Attorney Susan Doyle.

Bell was given a $30,000 secured bond in the case and is being held in Lee County Jail, police say.

Bell’s record includes conviction on a handful of traffic citations in April 2007.

Meanwhile, Buie and Smith both had prior criminal convictions in Lee County.

Buie was convicted in September 2005 for robbery with a dangerous weapon and assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, while Marlin Smith was convicted in April 2009 for possession with intent to sell a schedule IV drug.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Public financing deters unity on ethics package fundraising restrictions in exchange for public funds to run their campaigns. A similar program for state Court of Appeals and Supreme Court candidates began in 2004.

Republicans don’t like the public financing concept, which has largely been pushed through the Legislature by Democrats over the years.

The latest proposal is worse, said Sen. Pete Brunstetter, R-Forsyth, because it’s been inserted in a broader bill that most GOP senators otherwise endorse. Brunstetter tried unsuccessfully to pass an amendment to delete the public financing provision.

“Overall it’s a good bill,” Brunstetter said, but “to drop it in to what is supposed to be the bipartisan ethics reform bill creates a partisan issue where we don’t need it and it takes our eyes off of fundamental ethics reform.”

Democrats who drew up the bill said public financing already has shown to be one good way to address concerns that campaign donations influence policy, particularly in down-ballot races where those who contribute often are the same people who will be regulated by the eventual winner.

“The problems of money in elections are not partisan problems,” said Sen. Dan Clodfelter, DMecklenburg. “We haven’t tried to make this partisan, although I can’t really control how others react to it.”

The measure puts Republicans in a difficult political position. GOP lawmakers can vote against the whole package but face being labeled by Democrats as unwilling to pass good government reforms in an election year. The GOP has been criticizing Democratic Gov. Beverly

By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — Senate Democrats rolled out a wide-ranging North Carolina ethics, public records and government reform package Tuesday, but a provision that would expand voluntary public financing in some election campaigns prevented the measure from getting initial bipartisan support.

The bill approved by a judiciary panel would allow so-called “voter-owned” elections to fill the offices of five additional members of the Council of State: the attorney general, treasurer, secretary of state and commissioners of agriculture and labor.

The package also would make it a felony to give at least $10,000 in illegal campaign contributions in a single election, expand the number of government workers subject to ethics rules and require ex-lawmakers and elected officials to wait longer — one year after leaving office instead the current six months — before they can lobby state government.

The legislation follows a year of investigations surrounding former Democratic Gov. Mike Easley and his campaign that the bill’s supporters say left an ethical taint in government.

“It’s hard to legislate morality, but we can try to legislate behavior,” said Sen. Steve Goss, D-Watauga, who helped write the bill, which could go to the Senate floor later this week.

It would still have to be considered by the House.

North Carolina already allows some publicly funded elections.

Starting with the 2008 election, candidates for state auditor, insurance commissioner and superintendent of public instruction could accept

Perdue and other Democrats for receiving what turned out to be illegal contributions.

A donor, Wilmington businessman Rusty Carter, faced only misdemeanor charges for making what turned out to be $176,000 in illegal campaign donations to Perdue, Senate leader Marc Basnight, D-Dare, and Sen. Julia Boseman, D-New Hanover.

The candidates weren’t aware of the wrongdoing.

Campaigns are limited to receiving $4,000 per individual per election.

To help pay for the expanded public financing, lawmakers would slightly increase several fees paid by insurance adjusters and securities dealers, and would raise the price of filings to form a corporation or limited liability company.

The measure also would essentially write into state law two Perdue executive orders: one that expands the number of executive branch officials covered by the state government ethics act, and another expanding a gift ban. The ban currently covers those that award state contracts and oversee state construction.

Under the bill, it would include all public officers and employees.

Some campaign reform advocates are unhappy the bill fails to include legislation approved in the House last year that would require more board and commission appointees to report campaign donations and fundraising for elected officials who appointed them and ban state contractors from giving to elected officials who approve contracts that benefit the vendor.

“It really needs to go further on ethics,” Common Cause North Carolina executive director Bob Phillips said.

STATE BRIEFS 2-year-old killed in accidental shooting

HENDERSON (AP) — A 2-year-old North Carolina boy has died after what police are calling an accidental shooting.

Vance County Sheriff Peter White says Timothy Atwater of Raleigh was with his mother, visiting relatives in Henderson on Tuesday.

White says the boy apparently grabbed a loaded gun from a countertop in the home when the gun went off. The boy was taken to a nearby hospital but died shortly after being shot.

The sheriff’s office is investigating the case. The state Medical Examiner’s Office will also review the boy’s death.

’Under God’ missing from billboards

CHARLOTTE (AP) — High above the Billy Graham Parkway in Charlotte, a North Carolina group is making a claim on patriotism without piety.

The North Carolina Secular Association has paid for a series of billboards which will go up in the weeks before the Fourth of July.

The billboards, which cost $15,000, show an American flag and the words “One Nation, Indivisible.� They omit the words “under God,� which have been part of the Pledge of Allegiance since 1954.

Multiple media outlets report that besides Charlotte, the group has billboards going up in Wilmington, Asheville, Winston-Salem, Greensboro and Raleigh.

Elevator helps visitors reach swinging bridge LINVILLE (AP) — A new shop at North Carolina’s Grandfather Mountain includes an elevator to allow visitors to avoid the more than 45 steps from the parking lot to the tourist attraction’s swinging bridge.

The Asheville Citizen-Times reported Tuesday the new $4.5 million building and elevator opened earlier this month. The original shop at the top of the mountain was demolished in 2008 because it had fallen into disrepair.

Marketing director Catherine Morton says a 12-year-old boy from Ashe County was the first person to use the elevator before he crossed the Mile High Swinging Bridge. Luke Wilcox suffers from cerebral palsy and crossed the bridge in his wheelchair.

North Carolina bought the 2,600-acre Grandfather Mountain park from the Morton family last year for $12 million.

Fishing tourney disqualifies winning catch JACKSONVILLE (AP) — The board of directors of a North Carolina fishing tournament has disqualified the boat which landed the 883-pound winning catch because a crew member didn’t have a fishing license.

A statement issued Tuesday by the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament said the ’mate’ aboard the Citation

didn’t have a coastal recreational license as required by law. Competitors were reminded of the requirement prior to the start of the tournament.

Nancy Fish of the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries said Peter Wann of Alexandria, Va., was cited on Sunday.

She said Wann purchased the license more than two hours after landing the marlin on June 14.

The disqualification also cost the Citation nearly $1 million in prize money. The tournament board declared Carnivore the winner with its 528.3-pound blue marlin.

Temporary fireworks licenses approved

by House RALEIGH (AP) — Leaders in small North Carolina towns worried they couldn’t have July 4 fireworks displays this year due to new safety training requirements could get a reprieve in legislation overwhelmingly approved by the House.

The House agreed 112-1 on Tuesday on a bill allowing the state fire marshal to issue temporary licenses to veteran fireworks display operators who haven’t yet met the new standards. The Legislature approved the tougher requirements last year after an Independence Day blast on Ocracoke Island that killed four fireworks handlers.

The measure, which needs one more positive House vote Wednesday before heading to the Senate, would create a 30-day operator’s license.

Small-town July 4 shows have been in jeopardy because it’s been hard to find licensed operators.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Supporters, opponents speak on puppy mill bill RALEIGH (AP) — Lawmakers and animal welfare activists are trying to regain momentum on a bill that would prevent commercial breeders in North Carolina from keeping dogs in unsanitary living conditions.

Democratic Sen. Don Davis of Greene County joined the activists at a news conference on Tuesday to comment on the bill which the House finance committee will discuss this week. The Senate approved the bill last year, but it has laid dormant in a legislative committee since then.

The bill requires breeders with at least 15 female dogs that are capable of giving birth and 30 puppies to be registered and meet care standards such as providing adequate daily exercise and housing. The bill was introduced after the seizure of almost 300 dogs in February 2009 from what authorities say was a puppy mill in Wayne County.

More recently, a kennel owner in Greensboro was indicted on a dozen counts of cruelty to animals. Police seized about 100 dogs from the kennel in April.

Representatives from the Humane Society of the United States, the Dale Earnhardt Jr. Foundation, the Ryan Newman Foundation and the North Carolina Animal Federation attended the news conference to show their support.

Sen. Margaret Dickson of Cumberland County voiced her support for the bill. “How we treat our animals says a tremendous amount about us as a people,� she said.

Davis said there is a hole in current animal welfare laws regarding dog breeders. “This is a business that is operating without much regulation at all,� he said.

Davis, who had seen some of the animals that had been taken from the Wayne County breeder, recalled it being a horrific sight, with some animals suffering from ingrown nails that penetrated their skin.

One of the dogs that had been rescued was in the audience and appeared to be in good health, Davis said.

While Henri McClees, a lobbyist for the North Carolina Sporting Dog Association, said that treatment of dogs

is important, she said there already are laws in place to protect the animals. “One of the things that they object to about the current law is that you have to have probable cause in order to charge somebody with a crime,� McClees said. “That’s part of our constitutional protection.�

She said the proposed legislation would create a hostile environment for breeders in which they would be constantly harassed.

Steve Wallis, the president of the North Carolina Federation of Dog Clubs, agreed. “Our biggest fear is that they are trying to regulate dog breeding out of existence,� he said.

Wallis said that to be classified as a breeder and be in compliance with the proposed legislation, people only have to own a certain number of dogs. Wallis said the definition should be based on how many dogs they sell, not how many dogs people own. He said it was not uncommon for people to co-own a female dog but for just one person to sell the puppies.

NATION BRIEFS

Judge blocks drilling moratorium

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal judge struck down the Obama administration’s six-month ban on deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, saying the government rashly concluded that because one rig failed, the others are in immediate danger, too.

The White House promised an immediate appeal.

The Interior Department had halted approval of any new permits for deepwater drilling and suspended drilling of 33 exploratory wells in the Gulf.

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said President Barack Obama believes that until investigations can determine why the spill happened, continued deepwater drilling could expose workers and the environment to “a danger that the president does not believe we can afford.”

Several companies that ferry people and supplies and provide other services to offshore drilling rigs asked U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman in New Orleans to overturn the moratorium.

They argued it was arbitrarily imposed after the April 20 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig that killed 11 workers and blew out the well 5,000 feet underwater. It has spewed anywhere from 67 million to 127 million gallons of oil into the Gulf.

Feldman sided with the companies.

“What seems clear is that the federal govern-

A deepwater drilling rig operates near the site of the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. ment has been pressed by what happened on the Deepwater Horizon into an otherwise sweeping confirmation that all Gulf deepwater drilling activities put us all in a universal threat of irreparable harm,” he wrote.

Feldman’s financial disclosure report for 2008, the most recent available, shows holdings in at least eight petroleum companies or companies that invest in them, including Transocean Ltd., which owned the Deepwater Horizon.

The report shows that most of his holdings were valued at less than $15,000, though it did not provide specific amounts.

It’s not clear whether Feldman still has all of the energy industry stock listed in the report. Recent court filings indicate he may no longer have Transocean

shares. He did not own any shares in big companies such as BP PLC, which was leasing the rig that exploded, or ExxonMobil.

Feldman did not immediately respond to a request for comment about his current holdings.

Josh Reichert, managing director of the Pew Environment Group, said his ruling should be rescinded if he still has investments in companies that could benefit from Tuesday’s ruling.

“If Judge Feldman has any investments in oil and gas operators in the Gulf, it represents a flagrant conflict of interest,” he said. “It is possible that he has sold off those assets. We just don’t know.”

Feldman’s ruling prohibits federal officials from enforcing the moratorium until a trial is held. He did not set a date.

Glynda R. McConville, DDS, PA

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House said Tuesday it will immediately appeal a federal judge’s ruling against the Obama administration’s moratorium on new deepwater drilling.

A New Orleans judge on Tuesday blocked the six-month ban imposed in the wake of the Gulf oil spill, saying the Interior Department had failed to provide adequate reasons for it.

Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, defended the moratorium and promised an immediate appeal to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Gibbs said President Barack Obama believes that until investigations can determine why the spill happened, continued deepwater drilling potentially exposes workers and the environment to “a danger that the president does not believe we can afford.”

The lawsuit was filed

by Hornbeck Offshore Services of Covington, La., and company CEO Todd Hornbeck said after the ruling he is looking forward to getting back to work.

“It’s the right thing for not only the industry but the country,” he said.

Earlier in the day, executives at a major oil conference in London warned the moratorium would cripple world energy supplies.

Steven Newman, president and CEO of Transocean, called it an unnecessary overreaction.

“There are things the administration could implement today that would allow the industry to go back to work tomorrow without an arbitrary six-month time limit,” Newman told reporters on the sidelines of the conference.

BP CEO Tony Hayward skipped the event after coming under fire for attending a yacht race in England on Saturday rather than dealing with the spill.

Tentative consumer deal gives auto dealers a break WASHINGTON (AP) — In a setback for the Obama administration, House and Senate negotiators assembling a massive financial regulation bill are on the verge of excluding auto dealers from direct oversight by a new consumer protection bureau.

Under a proposed compromise from Senate Democrats, auto dealers would still be covered by federal truth-in-lending rules that would have to conform to regulations adopted by the consumer agency.

The Federal Reserve, which oversees truth in lending regulations, could adopt different rules but would have to explain its decision.

A House version of the overhaul bill excludes auto dealers without conditions. The Senate bill did not contain an auto dealer exclusion, but senators expressed their support for an exemption last month in a nonbinding vote.

The compromise, if accepted by House negotiators, would be one of President Barack Obama’s most high profile losses in his efforts to overhaul Wall Street regulations.

Hoyer: Permanent middle class tax cuts too costly WASHINGTON (AP) — A top House Democrat said Tuesday that tax increases will eventually be necessary to address the nation’s mounting debt, raising a difficult election-year issue as Democrats fight to retain control of Congress.

In the near term, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer raised the possibility that Congress will only temporarily extend middle-class tax cuts set to expire at the end of the year. He pointedly suggested that making them permanent would be too costly.

Tax cuts enacted under former President George W. Bush are scheduled to expire at the end of the year, affecting taxpayers at every income level. President Barack Obama proposes to

permanently extend them for individuals making less than $200,000 a year and families making less than $250,000 — at a cost of about $2.5 trillion over the next decade.

“As the House and Senate debate what to do with the expiring Bush tax cuts in the coming weeks, we need to have a serious discussion about their implications for our fiscal outlook, including whether we can afford to permanently extend them before we have a real plan for long-term deficit reduction,” Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat, told a forum on deficit reduction.

White House releases ’patient bill of rights’ WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama unveiled a package of consumer benefits Tuesday to build support for his health care overhaul within a divided nation and warned Republicans about trying to repeal his landmark law.

“We’re not going back,” said a defiant president.

Marking the first 90 days since the bill was signed, the White House rolled out new regulations that explain how several provisions of the law will be carried out, including a ban on insurers denying coverage to children in poor health.

With polls showing Americans split over the health insurance expansion, Obama told an invited audience at the White House that Republicans who seek to reverse such protections do so at their own political peril. “We’re not going back,” the president emphasized. “I refuse to go back. And so do countless Americans.”

The White House called it a “patients’ bill of rights,” but Republicans dismissed Tuesday’s announcement as a public relations effort.

Census: With jobs scarce, Rust Belt cities decline WASHINGTON (AP) — Hurt by the still-sluggish economy, Rust Belt cities and other U.S. manufacturing regions are suffering the biggest population losses as people search elsewhere for jobs.

New census estimates for 2009 highlight the continuing effects of the recession on the nation’s cities.

The figures show Cleveland had the largest numerical decline in residents, dropping 2,658, or nearly 1 percent. It was followed

by Detroit, which lost 1,713 people, and Flint, Mich., down 1,382.

Other losers include Baltimore, Buffalo, N.Y., and Pittsburgh, as well as the Florida cities of Cape Coral and St. Petersburg, two retirement destinations on the Gulf Coast. They declined as more older Americans stayed put in California, the Northeast and Texas.

Orszag says he’s leaving as budget head in July WASHINGTON (AP) — White House Budget Director Peter Orszag says he’s stepping down next month, positioning him to be the first high-profile member of President Barack Obama’s team to depart the administration.

Orszag confirmed his planned resignation in a brief interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday.

He said he views passage of last year’s economic recovery act as his most significant accomplishment.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday that “a number of very talented candidates” were being considered to replace Orszag.

E-BRIEFS

Can Tom Cruise re-establish himself?

By DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES — Early on in his latest spy caper “Knight and Day,” Tom Cruise flashes that billiondollar grin and proclaims, “I’m the guy.”

But is he?

Cruise definitely is the guy who rang up $3 billion at the domestic box office since the early 1980s, making him one of the most enduring hitmakers in Hollywood history.

He’s also the guy who veered into his own personal bizarro world with Scientology rants that alienated or even offended fans and his love-drunk bouncing act on Oprah Winfrey’s couch as he proclaimed his devotion to Katie Holmes.

His box-office returns soured, and he made some career choices which, while not disastrous, were not the sort to restore a stumbling star to the audience’s good graces.

With Cruise’s erratic behavior now a few years in the past, “Knight and Day” is the first real test on whether the dashing idol of “Risky Business,” “Top Gun” and “Rain Man” has lost his appeal.

“The short answer is, I hope not. Those challenges have been there, but I think he has moved past that,” said Chris Aronson,

Actor Tom Cruise waves to fans ahead of the world premiere of his latest film “Knight and Day” in Seville, Spain, on Wednesday. head of domestic distribution for 20th Century Fox, the studio behind “Knight and Day.” “I think he still is the guy. If you look over the course of history, there are very few actors who are the guy as long as he has been and are still rolling along.”

“Enough time has passed, and he has tried to make amends,” said Chuck Walton, an editor for movie-ticket Web site Fandango.com. “This is sort of the perfect summer movie vehicle for him.

I think most, if not all, is forgiven. ... Look at Robert Downey Jr. He’s had plenty of things in the past and it hasn’t stopped him.”

It’s Cruise’s first all-out action adventure since 2006’s “Mission: Impossible III” and the first movie

since 1996’s “Jerry Maguire” in which he turns on his full-blown comic and romantic charm.

The movie reunites Cruise with “Vanilla Sky” co-star Cameron Diaz.

Known for a tireless work ethic, Cruise hurled himself into action scenes that could have been handled by stunt men and continually added spontaneous flourishes to his character, said “Knight and Day” director James Mangold.

The “I’m the guy” exchange was Cruise’s invention, Mangold said. Diaz’s June Havens, who restores classic cars for a living, has just had a near-fatal encounter with Cruise’s Roy Miller, a secret agent who might be a good guy or a rogue spy gone bad.

When Roy reappears

in her life, June stammers to her ex-boyfriend, “This is the guy.” Cruise riffs off that line and delivers a memorable moment as Roy beams and agrees, repeating “I’m the guy” like a mantra.

“None of that was written. It was just Tom overhearing her and just flowing, creating a vibe on the set,” Mangold said. “‘I’m the guy. Hey, I’m the guy.’ You realize on how many levels this was true.

He is the guy in the movie.

He is the spy, he is the romantic lead who will sweep her off her feet.

“He’s also just the guy. ‘I am Tom Cruise, and I am here, and I will knock it out of the park.”’

Whether “Knight and Day” will be a home run or a swing and a miss is in the hands of fans now.

Distributor Fox feels it has a good movie, but “Knight and Day” is a tough sell, an original story not based on a comic book, video game or other property with built-in familiarity.

Besides the uncertainty of Cruise’s box-office pep, “Knight and Day” arrives during a fitful summer for Hollywood, when known quantities such as “Sex and the City 2,” “The A-Team” and Russell Crowe’s “Robin Hood” failed to live up to expectations.

Michael Jackson’s mother supports fan tribute NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Jackson’s mother has given her blessing to a tribute concert that will mark the anniversary of her son’s death.

Voice Plate Productions is staging Jackson “Forever Michael” fan event Saturday at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif., but some have wondered if it was legitimate or done with the family’s approval.

In a video posted on YouTube, Katherine Jackson appeared with Joseph Fahmy, the tribute’s organizer, to thank him for putting it together.

“I know that Michael would be very honored and very pleased that his fans all over the world are coming together to celebrate his life,” she said.

She also thanked people for the support they have given her family since Jackson died June 25, 2009, at age 50.

Fahmy told The Associated Press on Monday that Katherine Jackson “just rescued me” with her show of support.

“There was some negative press, and rumors that it wasn’t authorized,” Fahmy explained. “But we know it was. ... The Jacksons are so private, and, really, I was going to allow the press to just say what they were going to say, and take the beating from the press, just

Added Fahmy: “Towards the end here, Mrs. Jackson just said, ’I need to clear the air for you, because you’re doing such a wonderful thing.’ And she was just one of the sweetest ladies you could ever meet.”

Fahmy, CEO of the Los Angeles-based VoicePlate, estimated the event’s cost at $250,000. It will include performances by the Chi-Lites and Genevieve Jackson, Michael Jackson’s niece and the daughter of Randy Jackson. Tickets start at $150 and go up to $500.

Part of the proceeds from the event will go to the Jackson Family Foundation and to Michael Jackson’s favorite charities, according to the organizers.

Lights go out at ’Jimmy Kimmel Live’ taping LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t going to let a little power outage stop the taping of his show.

Show publicist Chelsea Hettrick says the lights went out Monday night about an hour before ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” was set to begin taping at its Hollywood studio. She says the outage shut down the control room, broadcast transmission center and tape operations area.

Hettrick says as guests and a studio audience waited, Kimmel grabbed his laptop and recorded the entire show with his computer’s webcam.

Hettrick says guests Seth Rogen, John Henson and country artist Dierks Bentley were very accommodating in “going with what happened.”

There’s no word on what caused the outage.

The show will be broadcast on ABC Wednesday at 12:05 a.m. EDT/PDT.

‘American Idol’ lowers age eligibility LOS ANGELES (AP) — The next “American Idol” may not be able to drive a car.

Fox said in a statement Monday that the age eligibility to audition for the upcoming 10th season of the singing competition would be lowered from 16 to 15 years old. The maximum age to audition remains 28.

“American Idol” executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz said in a statement that “a lot of young, talented people are now seeking careers and representation before they turn 16.”

Auditions for the next season will begin July 17 in Nashville, Tenn. Other audition cities include Milwaukee, New Orleans, San Francisco, East Rutherford, N.J., and Austin, Texas.

General at risk of losing his job

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama rebuked his Afghanistan war commander for “poor judgment” Tuesday and considered whether to fire him in the most extraordinary airing of military-civilian tensions since Harry Truman stripped Gen. Douglas MacArthur of his command a half century ago.

The White House summoned Gen. Stanley McChrystal to Washington to explain disparaging comments about his commander in chief and Obama’s top aides. The meeting set for Wednesday was a last-ditch moment for the general once considered the war’s brightest hope.

Two military officials told The Associated Press that McChrystal would arrive prepared to hand in his resignation. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

If not insubordination, the remarks in a forthcoming Rolling Stone magazine article were at least an indirect challenge to civilian management of the war in Washington by its top military commander.

“I think it’s clear that the article in which he and his team appeared showed a poor — showed poor judgment,” the president said, surrounded by

“But I also want to make sure that I talk to him directly before I make any final decisions.”

The eruption comes as the war and public support for it are at a tipping point, a perilous time to change military leadership. A majority of Americans now say the war is probably not worth fighting, and Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said that public dissatisfaction means the U.S.-led international coalition must show progress this year.

In the article, McChrystal did not criticize Obama directly but called the

period last fall when Obama was deciding whether to approve more troops “painful” and said the president was handing him an “unsellable” position.

McChrystal also said he was “betrayed” by Ambassador Karl Eikenberry, the man the White House chose to be his diplomatic partner in Afghanistan.

He accused Eikenberry of raising doubts about the reliability of Afghan President Hamid Karzai only to give himself cover in case the U.S. effort failed.

“Here’s one that covers his flank for the history books,” McChrystal told the magazine. “Now, if we fail,

they can say ’I told you so.”’

And he was quoted joking that he doesn’t recognize Vice President Joe Biden’s name.

As support for the general drained in Washington, the showdown was set to take place in two parts — as part of Obama’s regular monthly war meeting, in which McChrystal usually participates by videoconference, and a separate discussion with Obama in the Oval Office.

Several names circulated among Pentagon and Capitol Hill aides as potential successors.

Military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity ahead of the White House meeting, said the administration has not reached out to possible successors, but might do so on Wednesday.

“We all serve at the pleasure of the president,” said Gen. James Mattis, one of those mentioned.

“I have a pretty full plate here,” in his current job as Joint Forces Command chief, Mattis told AP. Other names include Lt. Gen. John Allen, the No. 2 at U.S. Central Command; Lt. Gen. David Rodriguez, McChrystal’s No. 2 in Afghanistan; Gen. Martin Dempsey, commander of the Army Training and Doctrine Command; and Adm. James Stavridis, the top NATO commander in Europe.

Storms pelt Midwest, cause flooding in Indiana

WASHINGTON (AP) — The housing market may be on the verge of taking another plunge that could weaken the broader economic recovery.

Sales of previously occupied homes dipped in May, even though buyers could receive government tax credits. And nearly a third of sales in May were from foreclosures or other distressed properties. That means home prices could soon be heading down after stabilizing over the past year.

Last month’s sales fell 2.2 percent from the previous month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.66 million, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday. Analysts who had expected sales to rise expressed concern that the real estate market could tumble once the benefit of the federal tax incentives is gone entirely, starting next month.

The report is “a worrisome sign for what will occur in July and thereafter when the effect of the tax credit is behind us,” said Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR Inc., an economic consulting firm in New York.

Sales have climbed 25 percent from the 4.5 million annual rate they hit in January 2009 — the lowest level of the recession. But they’re still down 22 percent from the peak rate of 7.25 million in September 2005.

AVON, Ind. (AP) — Central Indiana residents fled flooded neighborhoods Tuesday, while those in a small town in Wisconsin tried to figure out why a warning siren failed to alert them before a tornado destroyed 25 homes there.

The storms that pelted the Midwest weakened as they moved east Tuesday, but the National Weather Service said another wave was moving into Iowa, Illinois and Indiana.

Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle declared a state of emergency in Waukesha County, where emergency crews conducted a door-todoor search in Eagle after a warning siren failed to sound before a tornado hit Monday night. The 25 destroyed homes were among at least 125 damaged. One person was injured.

Eagle Fire Chief Justin Heim said all residents were accounted for Tuesday. Some, including Heim’s own family, had to be pulled from the rubble. He said an investigation into why the siren failed was ongoing.

In Edna Mills, about 10 miles east of Lafayette, Ind., officials called for a voluntary evacuation as a small creek rushed over its banks, surrounding about three dozen homes and covering roads. School buses and boats were brought in to help residents who wanted to leave.

SOUTHERN PINES — When a golfer talks about making a few swing changes, usually he can expect to experience a few rocky rounds.

Not Jonathan McCurry.

The Sanford native and N.C. Pembroke golfer drilled a 25-foot birdie putt on his third playoff hole to earn a berth in the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championships at Bryan Park in Greensboro next month.

McCurry “I’m pumped,” the rising junior said after finishing rounds of 71 and 69 for a 4-under total of 140 at Hyland Hills Golf Club in the Publinx qualifier on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. “I’m hoping to go there and play solid.”

McCurry, who said he’s been tinkering with his swing for the last year, hit 30 of 36 greens in regulation over the two rounds, but said he did just enough with the putter to card a 1-under 71 to keep him in the hunt after the first round.

“It was just one of those days,” he said. “I didn’t want to do anything crazy. You don’t want to shoot yourself out of it.”

After getting to 2 under through 12 holes in his second round Tuesday, McCurry for a moment thought he had done just that. He bogeyed 13 and 14 to fall back to 1 under for the qualifier. But birdies in 16, 17 and 18 earned him a tie for the last berth.

“I was just trying to finish with my head up,” said McCurry, who will defend his 2009 Brick Capital Classic championship this weekend at Sanford Golf Course. “I just wanted to try to do something.”

He did. After hanging in there for a couple of holes, McCurry hit the bomb that has placed him in the biggest tournament of his young career.

“I was a first alternate in a U.S. Junior Amateur once, but nothing like this,” said McCurry, who played in every UNC-P tournament this year and recorded two top-5 finishes.

The U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship is a USGA national event for amateur players who are not affiliated with a private club.

The entrant pool over the last few years has reached 6,000 each year. The tournament will open with a 36-hole stroke play portion before the champion emerges after a match play tournament. The winner of the Publinx is granted a berth in the Masters and the U.S. Open.

Recent champions of the Publinx, which began in 1922, include 2008 Masters champion Trevor Immelman (1998), Players champion Tim Clark (1997) and Wyndham Championship winner Brandt Snedeker (2003), who played for Sanford’s Press McPhaul when the two were at Vanderbilt.

Other past winners include U.S. Open champions Tommy Bolt, Ken Venturi and Ed Furgol, British Open champion Tony Lema, PGA champions Dave Marr and Bobby Nichols and Masters champion George Archer.

The 2010 Public Links Championship will be played from July 12-17.

ring your hightops. Bring your water bottle, your baggy shorts, your jersey. Bring enthusiasm, too.

Leave the playground stuff at home, though. This may look like fun — and it is — but that doesn’t mean class isn’t in session. There’s learning going on in this gym. Teaching. An education in the finer points of the game.

Ah, points. Everybody wants to score points. Fill up the boxscore.

But this camp, led by Lee County basketball coach Reggie Peace, isn’t about stuffing the stat sheet. It’s called FUNdamentals for a reason.

Fun, yes. Look at the campers faces glistening with sweat, and breaking the perspiration rivulets are smiles.

But when you say the finer points of the game, it’s in the classic sense. Remember that old line “play the right way”? Peace and his instructors spent a week recently giving the area’s youngest hoopsters the blueprint to do just that.

WORLD CUP — ESPN, 10 A.M.

U.S. fate about to be determined A victory over Algeria would seal the United States’ advancement to the knockout round

By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

PRETORIA, South Africa — One more game, one last chance to make their reputation.

When the Americans play Algeria at the World Cup on Wednesday they’ll either live up to all the hype and earn a spot among the final 16 teams — or fall painfully short of

their long-stated goal and lose a watershed opportunity.

“We have a great chance tomorrow night to get a win and advance on to the second round,” captain Carlos Bocanegra said Tuesday. “It’s important for us because we had that disappointment in ’06. It’s not really extra motivation, but it’s just in the back of our minds.

You work so hard and you train for so long for the World Cup, and it can be over so quickly if

you don’t advance.”

A victory or possibly a tie would move the United States into the knockout rounds on a high that will set off midday celebrations back home. Replicate the loss to Ghana that knocked the U.S. out in 2006, and it will start a new round of soul-searching for that could cost coach Bob Bradley his job — not to mention dampening the burgeoning enthusiasm for soccer in America.

Since returning to the World Cup in 1990 following a 40-year absence, the U.S. has al-

IN THE DRAFT

NASCAR NOTES

Walk the walk, drivers E

very Saturday night, we usually go out to get a bite to eat. And we are usually running late. And, as usual, while riding we are usually listening to Sirius satellite radio.

Now, I do get tired paying for radio sometimes, but nowhere can I find the old Kasey Kasem show on regular radio.

On Saturday evenings at 9 they bring back the show from that date on the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s channel. Yes. I listen to the 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Nothing wrong with that is there?

Well, on a recent night the date was June 5, 1971, and we were riding back from Greensboro when one of my old favorites played.

It was Danny Dewdrop and the song was titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chick-a-Boom.â&#x20AC;?

Now it was not a great song but it had a catchy little phrase in it that went like this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you just love it... chicka-boom, chick-a-boom, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ya just love it...â&#x20AC;? well, you get the idea. Of course, my warped sense of humor thought about that song after watching the race at Sonoma. Yeah, baby! I just love it!

Remember a few weeks ago I related the drama that was happening during the race and in the pits after the race to a television soap opera?

The boys havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let me down since. In fact, it is getting darn near funny now. Almost like that song. After the catchline

Lynn Gaines In The Draft E-mail Gaines at lynnsue@ embarqmail.com

plays enough you get tired of it.

Well, boys, I am tired of this talk! I want some action. If everyone who wants to and can get to Jeff Gordon next week at New Hampshire, and then they do what they say they will, then he might as well stay home. He wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make to the first turn.

In fact, somebody may wreck him during qualifying!

Martin Truex Jr., Elliott Sadler, Clint Bowyer and Kurt Busch all had beefs with Gordon at Sonoma.

From my point of view their attitudes toward Gordon are with merit. He intentionally spun all of them except Bowyer, who was tagged by someone else Gordon spun. All of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;accidentsâ&#x20AC;? cost the spunnee a chance of victory or even a top-10 finish while Gordon was smiling all the way to the front and gaining a top-5 finish. Then Carl Edwards was upset at Jan Magnussen because he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give him the respect he should

have. All I can say is LOL! (That is this weeks text message.)

This is what NASCAR wanted when they took off the driversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gloves.

This is what the sport needs. When NASCAR was built it was built on drivers having heated arguments after races.

How about Rusty Wallace getting mad at Dale Earnhardt in Bristol.â&#x20AC;? Remember when Earnhardt â&#x20AC;&#x153;rattledâ&#x20AC;? Terry Labonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cage in Bristol? I can recall Gordon getting taken out of a race and then him returning the favor the next week. Just earlier this year he took out Matt Kenseth.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a problem with it! As NASCAR said, let â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em race. If they aintâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wreckinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, then they ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t racinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;! And if they ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t racinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, then they ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gonna be a-fightinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;! I am telling you that rivalries and some toe-to toe-action may just get the fans back. In fact, I agree with my good friend Rick Ziblay. He said that the fan base is approaching only 600 so they need to do something.

Now one thing they need to do is rethink their postrace statements. I was upset at the handling of the Marcos Ambrose situation Sunday. As all of you know by now he was leading late in the race when they had a caution (surprised?) and Ambrose, in the midst of leading and trying to conserve fuel, shut his engine down. Granted, he did come to a stop before it fired back up, but NASCAR ruled that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t maintain a pace to be able to keep his lead. Thus, Jimmie Johnson was the recipient of a gift win.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go back a few years. Not as far back as Kasey Kasem, but back to either the 2005 or 2006

season. Greg Biffle was leading late in Michigan and the caution flag came out. Now Michigan has always been a fuel mileage race and everyone was going to be close on fuel.

Biffle coasted down to the apron of the track, and was paced by several cars.

NASCAR warned him that he needed to keep pace with the pace car. Meanwhile he was passed by a few cars but was allowed to get back in line where he was and he ended up winning.

What I am talking about are the different scenarios. In Biffleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case the driver who would have won would have been Tony Stewart. In 2010 the second-place driver was Jimmie Johnson. Do you see where I am coming from? I think it all depended on who the beneficiary was. At the time, NASCAR didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like Stewart, and so they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rule in his favor. But not so for a Rick Hendrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car.

Yes, I am being judgmental, and no, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything to substantiate my thoughts, except that the proof lies in who was the winner and who was not.

As noted in the song and as noted by me, yes I love it! I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care what happens in a race or who is trying to get revenge on whom, I will continue to watch and report on racing. At least the rest of this year.

Can you believe there are only 10 races left before the Chase. OMG! (Another text message.)

The racing will be intense from here on out. Who knows, maybe one day we will be watching a fight and a race will break out!

See you after Loudon!

NASCAR star likes North Dakota dirt WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart likes racing on his days off â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but only on dirt tracks.

Stewart is scheduled to drive Wednesday at the Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo to help promote the three-eighths-mile dirt track. The speedway is being run this summer by Danny Schatz, whose son, Donny, races for Stewart on the World Of Outlaws circuit and is a four-time champion there.

Stewart, who competes in about a dozen dirt track races each year, said racing in places like West Fargo brings him back to his roots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I get a day off, I want to go dirt racing,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something obviously Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very passionate about.â&#x20AC;?

Stewart said events like the one in West Fargo are relaxing because he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about appearances and news conferences. He joked that he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to bump fenders in Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race, though â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more fun to beat guys without controversy than it is to have to rough a guy up to win a race.â&#x20AC;?

Stewart, 39, is known for racing just about anything with four wheels. He estimates that he has raced in about 40 states, though this is his first trip to North Dakota. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forgotten where I came from,â&#x20AC;? said Stewart, who calls Columbus, Ind., his home.

Randy Lajoie fails NASCAR drug test, suspended CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NASCAR has suspended former driver Randy LaJoie for violating its substance-abuse policy.

In an interview Tuesday on SIRIUS XM Radio, Lajoie says he smoked marijuana once in May. LaJoie was tested by NASCAR because he wanted to become a spotter for one of Joe Gibbs Racingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nationwide Series teams.

He has not competed at any of NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top three national levels since 2006 and has been an analyst for NASCAR the past several years.

In the interview, LaJoie says he also has been suspended from ESPN. Lajoie raced in 44 races over 12 years in NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite Cup Series. His success was in the Nationwide Series, where he won 15 races over 19 seasons.

Memorial services set for NASCAR pioneer Parks ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Memorial services have been set for NASCAR pioneer Raymond Parks, who died Sunday morning at his home in Atlanta at age 96.

NASCAR says a viewing for Parks will be held Tuesday from 6-8 p.m. at HM Patterson Funeral Parlor in Atlanta. A memorial service is planned for Wednesday at 11 a.m. at Peachtree Christian Church.

Parks was the last living member of the group of men who created NASCAR in 1947 during a meeting at a hotel in Daytona Beach, Fla. He fielded the car that Red Byron drove to the inaugural Cup Series championship in 1949, NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first season of competition.

His teams ran four seasons in the Cup Series â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 1949, 1950, 1954 and 1955. It had two wins and 11 top-five finishes in 18 events.

SPORTS BRIEFS Carolina travels to Stanley Cup champion Chicago on March 4 and ends the season with at home against Tampa Bay on April 9.

The Hurricanes also host the NHL All-Star Weekend on Jan. 29-30.

Hurricanes agree to deal with RW Jerome Samson RALEIGH (AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes have agreed to terms for a twoyear contract with right wing Jerome Samson.

The team says the deal with pay $500,000 at the NHL level and $105,000 at the minor-league level in the first year. The minor-league level pay will remain the same in the second year, but the NHL level pay will increase to $525,000.

The 22-year-old Samson led Carolina’s American Hockey League affiliate in Albany with 37 goals and made the AHL’s first All-Star team after the season.

Samson made his NHL debut with Carolina against Nashville last season and tallied an assist on his first shift. He finished with two assists in seven NHL games.

Carolina signed Samson as an undrafted free agent in July 2007.

Spain’s Rafael Nadal makes a backhand return during his match against Japan’s Kei Nishikori at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon on Tuesday.

Nishikori in the first round at the All England Club.

It was merely a coincidence, of course, that Nadal’s third-set tumble Tuesday left him in nearly the same position, and in the same spot, that he found himself the last time he played a match at Wimbledon, almost two full years ago. Except on that occasion, he was dropping to the grass on purpose to celebrate beating Roger Federer in the 2008 final.

Nadal didn’t defend that championship, withdrawing last year because of painful tendinitis in his

knees. Now he’s healthy, reinstated at No. 1 in the rankings, once again the reigning French Open champion — and back on what he called “probably the most beautiful and emblematic court in the world.”

Said Nadal: “I’m happy to be here again.”

He’s also happy to be able to scamper around a court as only he can, knowing that his knees won’t let him down.

Another past Wimbledon winner coming off an injury, Maria Sharapova, also played Tuesday, and

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — An expert in cheerleading has testified that cheerleading should not be a competitive sport, saying that making it so would threaten “classical sideline cheerleading.”

Jeff Webb, CEO of the cheeringleading organization Varsity Spirit, testified Tuesday in federal court in Bridgeport in a lawsuit against Quinnipiac University.

Five volleyball players sued after the school decided in a budgetary move to eliminate women’s volleyball in favor of a competitive cheer squad.

Testifying for the players, Webb said competitive cheerleading is as much a sport as chess.

A federal judge is being asked in part to decide whether cheerleading can be counted as a sport by schools looking for ways to meet gender-equity requirements. He’s also considering whether Quinnipiac improperly manipulates the size of the rosters to comply with those requirements.

Nadal cruises in Wimbledon return

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Trying to switch directions while chasing a shot beneath the Royal Box at Wimbledon’s Centre Court, Rafael Nadal lost his footing and took a nastylooking spill, flinging his racket in the air while he fell.

The Spaniard was OK, even if he did land on his back behind the baseline and glanced overhead to make sure his equipment wasn’t going to nail him in the noggin. Nadal toweled off and, four games later, wrapped up a 6-2, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Japan’s Kei

Cheerleading expert: it’s not a competitive sport

RALEIGH (AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes open the 2010-11 season on the European continent, then return to the North American continent for a five-game road trip before seeing home ice.

The Hurricanes had previously announced they would open the regular season on Oct. 7 with the first of two games against Minnesota in Finland as part of the 2010 NHL Premiere.

But with the release of full NHL schedules Tuesday, the Hurricanes’ trip now includes stops in Ottawa, Vancouver, San Jose, Los Angeles and Phoenix before their first home game on Oct. 27 against Southeast Division rival Washington.

Sharapova had right shoulder surgery in October 2008 and was sidelined for about 10 months, then was hampered by a right elbow injury this season.

She’s had to toy with her service motion, in addition to confronting worries about when she would regain the strokes that helped her win Wimbledon at age 17 in 2004, then two other Grand Slam titles.

Panthers sign 6th-round pick Pike CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Panthers have signed rookie quarterback Tony Pike to a four-year deal, putting six of Carolina’s 10 draft picks under contract.

One of three sixth-round choices for the Panthers, Pike receives a signing bonus of $81,145.

This file photo shows Charlotte Bobcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tyrus Thomas during an NBA basketball game against the Philadelphia 76ers, in Philadelphia.

Bobcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thomas wants to remain in Charlotte

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If Tyrus Thomas gets his way, the impending restricted free agent will stay in Charlotte.

Thomas said Tuesday that he wants to sign a long-term deal with the Bobcats, who acquired him from Chicago in a trade deadline deal in February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most definitely, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my goal,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said by phone from Washington where he was to receive a public service award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see what happens in the next couple of weeks.â&#x20AC;?

General manager Rod Higgins said earlier this month that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely offer the 6-foot-10 power forward a one-year qualifying offer worth a little over $6 million to make him a restricted free agent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we traded for him, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a guy that we envisioned going long-term with,â&#x20AC;? Higgins said.

Hornets new coach doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want Paul traded WESTWEGO, La. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hornets coach Monty Williams says Chris Paul was â&#x20AC;&#x153;the main thingâ&#x20AC;? that excited him about taking his new job and that

he could not envision entering next season without the threetime All Star.

Speaking at a pre-draft workout at the Hornetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; training headquarters on Tuesday, Williams said Paul is the best point guard in the game. He says Paul will probably be in New Orleans for a long time, despite other teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing efforts to trade for him.

Durant hopes to sign extension with Thunder soon OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The cover of EA Sportsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new NBA video game features Kevin Durant on the cover in a white Oklahoma City Thunder jersey.

Durgant hopes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be signed up to wear that jersey for a long time.

The NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring champion from last season will get the opportunity to negotiate an extension with the Thunder on July 1 and he said Tuesday that â&#x20AC;&#x153;hopefully something gets done.â&#x20AC;?

Clippersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Griffin says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training 100 percent NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When Clippers forward Blake Griffin was out last season, he found

inspiration in the one thing he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do: play basketball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a chance to watch up close and personal and see how they do things,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I get to actually go through with it.â&#x20AC;?

Griffin injured his left kneecap in the Clippersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final exhibition game last year and missed the entire regular season. He had surgery in January.

Bucks get F Maggette from Warriors MILWAUKEE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Milwaukee Bucks have acquired forward Corey Maggette in a trade with the Golden State Warriors, sending them guard Charlie Bell and center Dan Gadzuric in return.

The Bucks also get a second-round pick from the Warriors in Thursday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NBA draft, leaving them with three selections in the second round.

Maggette played in 70 games with 49 starts for Golden State last season, averaging 19.8 points per game.

He will be expected to provide scoring for a team that may lose free agent John Salmons.

ternated first-round elimination (â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;98 and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;06) with a second-round appearance at home in 1994 and a trip to the quarterfinals in South Korea in 2002.

This World Cup started with a comefrom-behind 1-1 tie against glamorous England. Then the Americans trailed Slovenia by two goals at halftime only to fight back as Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley scored for a 2-2 draw.

They appeared to go ahead, but Maurice Eduâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 85th-minute goal was disallowed for reasons referee Koman Coulibaly of Mali didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to worry about any calls or anything like that getting us down,â&#x20AC;? Bocanegra said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a good second half and hopefully we can continue with that momentum and put that into the Algeria game.â&#x20AC;?

The U.S. has never before faced the Desert Foxes, who have yet to score in this tournament following a 1-0 loss to Slovenia and a 0-0 draw against England.

Algeria can advance only with a win, and Les Fennecs coach Rabah Saadane repeatedly used the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;God willingâ&#x20AC;? in reference to a victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are in a good mood to make our people back home very happy,â&#x20AC;? Algeria captain Antar Yahia said.

A win would send the U.S. to a second-round matchup this weekend with Germany, Ghana, Serbia or Australia, and another big television audience for American soccer. With France knocked out, and England, Germany, defending champion Italy and Spain all uncertain of reaching the knockout stage, the U.S. could find itself in a fairly wide-open tournament if it advances.

Coaches will be paying attention to the England-Slovenia game, which will be played simultaneously in Port Elizabeth.

If the English lose, the U.S. would advance with a tie. If both the U.S. and England draw, the Americans reach the second round if they maintain their goal advantage over the English, World Cup currently Uruguay, Mexico 3-1. advance It could RUSTENBURG, South Afget thorny if rica (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Uruguay won the U.S. and Group A and Mexico also the English advanced Tuesday after tie, and Luis Suarez scored in the England 43rd minute to give the scores two South Americans a 1-0 goals more victory at the World Cup. than the Both teams will face Americans.

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Make professional changes that will help you feel secure about your future. Use your mental attributes and you will find a place that suits you far better.

You have to be able to go at your own speed to be successful. Finding your niche and stabilizing your life is in reach and where you should be putting your efforts. Your numbers are 4, 10, 18, 25, 32, 34, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Love is on the rise but you don’t have to spend money to win someone’s affection.

Emotional manipulation will come into play.

Greater professional opportunities will be given if you push for the position you want.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be very clear about what you want and how you see things unfolding.

Leading someone on, even unintentionally, will cause problems. A trip or seminar will help you make a decision that you’ve been unable to make in the past.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Making decisions based on emotions will cost you financially. Love is in the stars. Leave room late in the day to do something with your lover or take part in an event that caters to singles, if you are unattached.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can make personal changes as long as they aren’t over-budget.

Uncertainty regarding a family member will be difficult to address. Try listening for now and you will have a much better idea how to handle matters.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Travel, learning and greater involvement with friends, relatives and neighbors will be informative. Gambling or spending your money foolishly or being overtly generous to impress someone must be avoided.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll get the help you need but don’t take advantage of the person offering you assistance. Be honest about what has happened.

Don’t let a love relationship jeopardize your job, a friendship or your emotional well-being.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Getting in touch with people having similar interests or concerns will pay off personally and professionally. Your insight and creativity will attract an offer from someone in a position to help you present your ideas. Don’t let a love relationship stand in your way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): An emotional involvement can evolve into something much greater if you spend one-on-one time with the person you love. Don’t limit the possibilities by keeping your thoughts and feelings a secret.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Take time to have a little fun. Don’t neglect the people you are close to personally and emotionally or you may be left out of something that you might enjoy taking part in. Push hard to resolve a pending legal problem.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone from your past may try to force you into a situation you’ve been in before. Stand up to this person so you don’t repeat the mistake.

Love is in the stars but you must choose your partner wisely.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Focus on your family and friends and what will help make your home more inviting. Money can be made if you look at the services or skills you have to offer. Market what you can do and you can make some extra cash.

DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Eric,” and I are newlyweds.

Several months ago, with a little coaxing, I shared my previous “history” with him. I used graphic terms and went into great detail. Eric found it extremely exciting, and we both benefited from it.

Recently, Eric mentioned how great it would be if I contacted one of my past lovers to push the envelope of passion even further.

I agreed. My dinner date with the old flame was actually quite fun, with talk of the past. Eric thrilled at my description of the “date.”

His suggestion that I go out with my old beau and “enjoy myself” as I had when I was single, however, left me hurt and somewhat uncomfortable.

Eric hinted that a new “story” would take things to another level. He’s completely OK with it, not at all jealous. I said I wasn’t sure, but I’d consider it. What do you think?

— MRS. R. IN ILLINOIS DEAR MRS. R.: Some “envelopes” should remain sealed.

Think long and hard before embarking on the path toward which your husband is leading you. Is this really the kind of marriage you signed up for? How would you feel about Eric looking up old flames and reporting back to you?

Frankly, I think you’re being pushed in the wrong direction.

The result could very well be that

no longer live together, and they need to remain with their father.

She should also tell them that her leaving has absolutely nothing to do with them.

If the children continue to have ongoing abandonment issues, they should be seen by a therapist who can help them put those issues to rest. All you can do is love your grandchildren and be there for them as much as possible.

you end up feeling used and degraded. o DEAR ABBY: I want to help my son and grandchildren. His current wife moved out, taking their two little ones with her. His other three children from his first wife still live with him. They are upset about this and can’t understand why they have been abandoned by their stepmom -- just as they were by their birth mother. The little boy is taking it the hardest.

How can I help my grandchildren understand that this isn’t their fault?

o DEAR ABBY: I work in the corporate office of a major airline and communicate with many employees throughout the country.

I do a lot of traveling, both for business and for pleasure, and when I do, I encounter a lot of our employees who recognize me and say hello as I travel through their stations.

My problem is, I have a difficult time remembering names, and on occasion, recognizing faces. I’m embarrassed when this happens, and I don’t know what to say.

What’s the best way to respond to someone who recognizes me, even though I don’t recognize him or her?

— RED-FACED IN WASHINGTON DEAR RED-FACED: How about this? Smile at the person and say, “Hi! It’s nice to see you.” And let the person who recognized you take it from there.

ODDS AND ENDS Pork board squeals over imaginary unicorn meat PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — It’s official: The National Pork Board says it knows unicorns don’t exist.

The industry group says it was only protecting its trademark when it issued cease-and-desist warning to online retailer ThinkGeek for calling a fake unicorn meat product “the new white meat.”

The fictional canned meat, described as an “excellent source of sparkles,” was an April Fool’s prank.

But the 12-page letter from the board’s law firm was no joke.

“We certainly offered our apologies,” Scott Kauffman, President and CEO of Geeknet Inc., the parent company of ThinkGeek, told the Associated Press.

“It was not our intention to confuse the public as to the attributes and qualities of the two meats.”

In a public apology this week, ThinkGeek said its nonexistent canned unicorn meat is sparkly, a bit red and not approved by any government entity.

“We certainly understand that unicorns don’t exist,” said Ceci Snyder, vice president of marketing for the National Pork Board. “Yes, it’s funny. But if you don’t respond, you are opening your trademark up to challenges.”

The council said it is in discussions with the company.

“Where we feel victimized, is I don’t know of another organization that does more to promote pork products than our site,” Kauffman said, noting the company sells around 20 real items related to bacon, such as bacon gumballs

SUDOKU

MY ANSWER and bacon soap.

ThinkGeek “launches” mock products every April Fool’s day. The company said it was surprised the board did not raise any concerns about another prank item this year called “My First Bacon” — a talking stuffed toy that looked like a piece of bacon.

“To be attacked in this manner, given all we do for pork, the irony is not lost on us,” he said.

$3,600 found on highway returned to Pa. newlyweds BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania man found an envelope stuffed with $3,600 and returned it to the newlyweds who lost it after their wedding reception.

David and Ashley Marasco, of Bridgeville, had mistakenly driven off with their wedding album on top of the trunk of their car Sunday. The money had been tucked inside.

Another motorist pointed out the album on the trunk, but the envelope had already fallen out.

Brennan Breene, also of Bridgeville, says he saw the envelope with cash sticking out Sunday in the middle of Washington Pike, a busy highway southwest of Pittsburgh. So, he stopped to pick it up.

He says he learned about the Maraco’s misfortune Monday from local news websites, so he gave the cash to police to be returned.

Breene says he knew the money wasn’t his.

Faith is real when it changes you Q: Which is more important, your talk or your walk?

A friend of mine is constantly talking about what God has done for him, but his life certainly doesn’t measure up to what a Christian ought to be. -- L.W. A: Someone has said that this is like asking which wing of an airplane is more important! Both are necessary; you can’t say one is more important than the other. And the same is true with our faith; it’s only genuine if it results in a changed life. The Bible says, “Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead” (James 2:17).

Don’t misunderstand me, however; the Bible makes it clear that we are only saved by our faith in Christ, and not by our good works. Our greatest need is to be forgiven and cleansed of our sins -- and only Christ can do that for us. He was without sin, but on the cross He took upon Himself your sins and mine.

All we must do is trust Him alone as our Savior.

But when we come to Christ, God comes to live within us by His Holy Spirit.

He does this for one reason: to change us from within.

He doesn’t want us to keep living the way we always have.

Instead, He wants to make us more like Christ -- and He will, as we submit our lives to Him every day. The Bible says, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Only God knows if your friend has truly given his life to Jesus Christ. But don’t let his failures keep you from Christ. Instead, face your own need for forgiveness and new life, and by faith turn to Him today.

8B / Wednesday, June 23, 2010 / The Sanford Herald Chatham County notes Moncure holds Battle of the Books competition

MONCURE — Moncure School hosted an Elementary Battle of the Books tournament on Wednesday, June 2.

The third, fourth and fifth grade students rose to the challenge reading a list of twelve books this school year. The students read the books, wrote questions and studied to become experts on the books.

Nine third graders faced eleven fourth graders and ten fifth graders in a battle to determine the EBOB champions for Moncure school.

The third grade team was victorious.

The third grade team members were Jessica Witcher, Alex Tointon, Harper Johnson, Mia Witcher, Sam Shi, Brody Lewis, Gunnar Harris, Basia Smith and Allison Poythress.

The teachers energized the competition reading some of the books with their classes and encouraging all of the students to read.

Horton Middle holds spelling see

PITTSBORO — Horton Middle School hosted a schoolwide spelling bee on Thursday, May 27. Twenty spellers from across the school participated in this challenging event.

Tracy Miller, the Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG) teacher, began earlier this year by hosting a series of nineteen classroom level spelling bees. From those, 20 to 25 spellers from each grade level continued to the preliminary grade level spelling bees. Five spellers from each grade level qualified for spelling clinics and ultimately a chance at the title of Horton Middle School spelling

bee champion.

Eighth grader Allory Bors won the schoolwide spelling bee. She earned a second place finish in the seventh grade bee last year; second place finish in the 2009 school bee; and finished in second place in the eighth grade bee this year.

Eighth grader Rachel Crawford finished in second place. She previously won her sixth grade spelling bee, seventh grade spelling bee and last year’s schoolwide spelling bee.

Eighth grader Callie Miller earned third place. She won the 2009 seventh grade spelling bee and was the eighth-grade champion this year.

Moncure School hosted the an inter-school spell off on Thursday, May 27. The top spellers at Horton Middle School traveled to Moncure to face the top spellers at Moncure in a battle for the super spelling spirit stick.

Staff members Dr. Jody Cleven, reading specialist, Mary Jo Gregory, curriculum coach and Tracy Miller, AIG specialist, brought together twelve spellers for this collaboration between schools.

Each year schools that have hosted a spelling bee can send their top five students to the inter-school spell off. The last school with spellers standing takes the stick home as a symbol of pride and inspiration for the entire year until the next spell-off. The first spell off was in 2009 and was hosted by Horton Middle School. The 2010 spell-off was a tense battle as Moncure hung on for more than 20 rounds.

Adding fun to oatmeal

Blossom-end rot can kill your tomatoes

I

was once told that oatmeal was a negative calorie food. I had never heard that term before, but was told that it meant that it took more calories to digest the food than there were calories in the food. I have no idea if the definition or classification is accurate, but I keep that information true in my brain nonetheless. I also fool myself into thinking that this statement remains to be true regardless of what you add to the oatmeal. It is more fun INSIDE that way.

See our I love weekly Dining to eat Guide for oatmeal for local menu breakfast. I options am usually Pages 4-5C cold, and it warms me from the inside out.

I love the different flavors, but am just as happy with plain oatmeal with my own treats added to it. A little brown sugar, a dash of cinnamon and a handful of raisins and my morning has been made. And I’m better off after eating it than I was before (at least in my makebelieve world)? Score!

Scotchies are a treat that my sister used to make years ago. The recipe is from unknown origin and was lost for some time. She recently came upon it and I was thrilled. When she came over for a sleepover last week, we made them for our bedtime snack. I had forgotten how truly delicious they were. The bonus – since they have oatmeal in them, not only are they a dessert, but they can count as breakfast as well! Never mind the sugar and butterscotch chips sprinkled throughout – if oatmeal is an ingredient, it is healthy.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

I think I may make it my goal this week to see just how many foods I can add oatmeal to. Or possibly I could convince myself that some other foods are negative calorie foods. Perhaps bacon? I am a fan of this concept; not so much a fan of the gym. Losing weight

rowing tomatoes in the South is a difficult, albeit rewarding, endeavor. The high humidity typical in our area favors plant diseases that defoliate plants and makes the fruits of your labor inedible. Blossomend rot is one “disease” shows up every year, but with some planning, it is very easy to prevent.

Blossom-end rot is a physiological disorder — it is caused by a lack of calcium in the soil, not by a pathogen; therefore, it is not really a disease. Fruit expressing this disorder will develop a dry brown or tan decayed area on the end not attached to the stem (aka the blossom end). The decayed area appears small at first, but enlarges as the fruit grows. This disorder occurs on the fruit of tomatoes, peppers and eggplants.

Prevention of blossom-end rot is easy. Before planting your garden, take a soil sample. Soil sample kits are available at our Center and testing is a free service offered through the N.C. Department of Agriculture. It is always a good time to sample! The soil sample results will indicate the amount of lime and fertilizer to incorporate into your garden. Calcitic lime, which contains calcium, will correct the calcium deficiency if applied at the proper rate and will also adjust the acidity of the soil.

Apply lime two or three months prior

Bringing the community together

By SUSAN BROOKS Special to The Herald

Recently, Brick Capital Community Development Corporation partnered with the North Carolina Cooperative Extension in Lee County to sponsor the Washington/Hudson Avenue Satellite Garden.

Through this assistance, and help from the City of Sanford, the use of a vacant neighborhood lot and an on-site water spigot became a reality!

The garden was created to educate youth in the community about gardening and all of the other valuable life skills that young people can learn

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

This week’s profile was submitted by Susan Brooks of Brick Capital Community Development Corporation on the satellite garden on Washington/Hudson Avenue Gardens.

through this project. So far the kids have learned about planting, watering, fertilizing and weeding their garden plot. The community’s interest in the garden has been over-

T

he signs of summer are here: pool openings, summer camps, and hot weather. As more people head outside they need to be aware of the risks that can come from spending extended periods of time in the hot sun.

A common risk during summer for children and adults is dehydration. This occurs when the loss of body fluids exceeds the amount of fluids taken in.

It can be the result of increased heat exposure, lack of water consumed, or a viral infection that causes fever, diarrhea, or vomiting. In order to prevent dehydration during the summer months, especially in children, several precautions should be taken. For example, know the physical condition of your child and provide them with plenty of water. Experts recommend 6-8 glasses of fluids a day. Adults should also be aware of the weather conditions and prepare accordingly. Gradually adjusting your child or yourself to the heat is another way to prevent dehydration.

There are several indications that you or your child may be dehydrated.

These include, increased thirst, weakness, dizziness, and/or decreased urine output. In order to treat these symptoms there are several steps that can be taken.

Initially, you need to stop your activity and rest. Move the individual from direct sunlight to a cool place. Over the next two to four hours, steadily drink two

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF SALMON The Why: Salmon is packed with protein — nearly 45 percent of the recommended daily value. Plus, it contains omega-3 fatty acids. Keep in mind, though, that all omega-3 fatty acids are not the same. There’s a difference between the omega-3s in fish such as salmon and the omega-3s in walnuts, for instance.

There are three types: EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). EPA and DHA, the most valuable for health and wellness, come from the oil of fish. Both

The event also celebrates the Ackland’s recent acquisition of the major Aldwyth work The World According to Zell (seen at left), which will be on view during the con-

versation. The exhibition Aldwyth: work v. / work n., popular with Ackland visitors and celebrated by critics, was organized

by The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art at the College of Charleston and was the artist’s first major retrospective. For more than two decades before its premier, Aldwyth produced her art in relative seclusion from the larger art world. Now in her early seventies, she lives and works in an octagonal house on the edge of a salt marsh on one of South Carolina’s sea islands, where she creates astonishingly intricate collages and assemblages that recall the fantastical intricacies of Hieronymus Bosch. Exhibition Curator Mark Sloan, Director of the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, describes Aldwyth’s complex, often epic-scaled collages as resembling “medieval manuscript pages writ large.”

During her residency at Cassilhaus, Aldwyth has embarked on a project to produce a visual representation of the 2003 Mellon Lecture series delivered by curator Kirk Varnadoe during the last few months of his life and documented in the book Pictures of Nothing.

Seating for this event is limited. Please RSVP to Kyle Fitch at kyle_ fitch@unc.edu or (919) 843.3676. Directions to Cassilhaus will be provided upon RSVP.

BOOK REVIEW

Cabot spins own sequel to Bram Stoker’s classic

By CAROLYN LESSARD Associated Press Writer

“Insatiable” (William Morrow, $22.99), by Meg Cabot Trouble is brewing in the Big Apple, and Meena Harper is at the heart of it. Barely making ends meet as a writer for a soap opera called “Insatiable,” Meena is told that her show is going in a new direction. To satisfy pop culture demands and compete with a rival soap, she is forced to create a story line where vampires reign in “the cult of monster misogyny.”

Meena is no stranger to the paranormal. She has the gift of precognition and can sense when and how someone will die. Although it has saved her loved ones on more than one occasion, it is an ability that has cursed her throughout her life.

When women start showing up dead and drained of blood in New York, the mysterious Romanian Prince Lucien Antonescu arrives to investigate the killings.

Lucien must find the killer before the humans discover that real vampires are walking among them. After saving Meena from a swarm of bats, Lucien is intrigued that he can’t easily read this mortal’s mind. And when their paths cross again, he decides to make

Meena his minion.

In true Von Helsing style, Alaric Wulf, a sword-wielding warrior with the Vatican’s Palatine Guard, is determined to destroy all vampires, especially the dark prince. And when Alaric holds Meena captive to prevent Lucien from turning her, he becomes attracted to her.

Meg Cabot, author of the popular young adult series “Princess Diaries,” renders an alluring adult novel with a love triangle that will entice fans of the vampire-romance genre.

Cabot also provides a colorful array of characters, including Jonathan Harper, Meena’s mooch brother who dreams of becoming a member of the Palatine Guard; her eccentric neighbor Mary Lou — she’s a vampire, too— and Meena’s Pomeranian-chow mix named Jack Bauer, who can scent vampires.

Bram Stoker fans will notice few similarities from the classic tale, but in this modern urban version, Cabot recasts the vampire prince as a flawed romantic hero while leaving the villainous role to another.

Although no sequel to “Insatiable” is currently planned, Cabot leaves some doors — and windows — open for future visits from the dark prince.

Enrichment Calendar

How to seniorize a kitchen

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: A while back you wrote a column on how to seniorize a bathroom to make it safer and easier to use. What about the kitchen? At 80, my mother still loves to cook, but has arthritis and some mobility challenges that make it difficult for her. What senior-friendly kitchen tips can you recommend?

— ACHING COOK

DEAR ACHING: The standing, bending, reaching, gripping and lifting that often comes with cooking, makes the kitchen one of the most challenging rooms in the house for seniors to use.

Here’s what you can do.

Small modifications

There are lot’s of simple solutions and inexpensive add-ons that can make a big difference in making your mom’s kitchen safer and easier to maneuver. Consider these tips for the: o Cabinets: Start by reorganizing your mom’s kitchen cabinets so that the items she frequently uses are within comfortable reach. You can also make her cabinets and pantry easier to access by installing pull-out shelves or lazy susans, or for the hard-to-reach upper shelves, a pulldown shelving system (see rev-a-shelf.com).

D-shaped pull-handles for the cabinets and drawers are also recom-

mended because they’re more comfortable for arthritic hands to grasp than knobs. o Lights: Aging eyes need more light, so install the highest wattage bulbs allowed in your mom’s fixtures, and to brighten up her kitchen countertops add task lighting under her cabinets. o Faucet: If she has twist handles on the faucet, replace them with easy-to-turn lever handles, or replace the entire fixture with an ADA compliant faucet with a single lever handle, or the new Delta touch technology faucet.

And for safety purposes, set your mom’s hot water tank at 120 degrees to prevent water burns. o Stove: If her vision is poor, clearly mark the controls on her stove or replace her dial controls with larger easier to read dials. And if memory is an issue, an automatic

stove shut-off device (see cookstop.com, stoveguardintl.com and pioneeringtech.com) is a smart solution. o Microwave: If your mom’s microwave is mounted above her stove, consider moving it to a countertop. It makes it safer and easier to reach. o Other areas: If she has kitchen throw rugs, to reduce the possibility of tripping, secure them to the floor with doublesided rug tape or replace them with non-skid floor mats. If standing for long periods causes her problems, get a kitchen stool so she can sit down while she works. And to help her arthritic hands, invest in some OXO Good Grip (oxo.com) or other ergonomic kitchen utensils.

User-friendly appliances If you’re looking to buy your mom some new appliances, manufacturers like General Electric, Whirlpool, Bosch and Siemens make a variety of products designed with seniors in mind.

Here’s what to look for. o Refrigerator/freezer: Side-by-side doors work well for seniors because the frequently used items (refrigerated and frozen) can be placed at mid-shelf range for easy access.

Pull-out adjustable height shelves and water/ice dispenser on the outside of door are also

,&' M_Ya[h Ij --+#-((+ *'* ;$ CW_d Ijh[[j ---#/*// mmm$f[hhoXhei$Yec

very convenient. o Dishwasher: Drawer designed dishwashers that slide in and out are very handy, and have it installed on a raised platform (6 to 10 inches) to eliminate bending over. o Stove or cooktop: Look for one with the controls at the front so your mom won’t have to reach over hot burners to turn it off, and make sure the controls are easy to read and use.

Flat surface burners or continuous grates on gas stoves are also great for sliding heavy pots and pans from one burner to the next. And ask about automatic shut off burners. o Oven: Self-cleaning ovens are a plus, and consider a side-swing door model. They’re easier to get into because you don’t have to lean over a hot swingdown door. Also consider a wall-mounted oven, installed at your mom’s preferred height to eliminate bending. o Washer and dryer: Front-load washers and dryers with pedestals that raise the height 10 to 15 inches are backsavers and easy to access.

HEALTHY DINING

A pie to celebrate healthy eating — and the Fourth

Falling-off-the-bone barbecued ribs with chili-ale sauce are started with a par boiling then finished up by indirect heat on the grill.

With ribs, low and slow isn’t the only way to go

By JIM ROMANOFF For The Associated Press

When it comes to ribs, low and slow may be the mantra of the professional pit master, but it’s not the only way to go when it comes to the backyard grill.

An easy two-step technique will yield tender and flavorful pork ribs in about half the time it takes to cook them using the traditional slow-cook method.

To jumpstart the process, the ribs are gently simmered in a seasoned liquid before being grilled over indirect heat until the meat is virtually falling off the bones.

Here, baby back ribs are prepared with a homemade chili-ale barbecues sauce, which can be used for basting during grilling and served alongside, as well.

BARBECUED RIBS WITH CHILI-ALE SAUCE

Start to finish: 2 hours (1 hour active) Servings: 4 For the ribs: 1 cup cider vinegar 3 tablespoons molasses

1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 4 cups water 2 pounds fresh pork baby back ribs or spareribs For the sauce: 2 tablespoons canola oil 2 cups chopped sweet onions 2 tablespoons minced garlic 12-ounce bottle chili sauce 12-ounce bottle IPA beer or other light ale 2 tablespoons molasses 1/4 cup cider vinegar 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, or more to taste In a large pot over medium-high, combine the vinegar, molasses, salt, pepper and water. Add the ribs and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook, turning occasionally so the ribs cook evenly, until the meat begins to pull away from the bone, 40 to 50 minutes. Drain well.

Meanwhile, to make the sauce, in a large saucepan over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the onions and saute until softened and lightly colored, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 3 minutes

more.

Add the chili sauce, beer, molasses, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce.

Bring to boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook the sauce until reduced to about 2 cups, 15 to 20 minutes.

Stir in the hot sauce. Measure out 3/4 cup of the sauce for basting.

Heat one side of a covered gas grill to high or prepare a fire in half of a covered charcoal grill.

Baste both sides of the ribs with sauce and place, meaty-side up, on the unlit side of the grill. Close the grill cover and cook the ribs for 10 minutes. Turn and baste the ribs periodically until they are well glazed and the meat is beginning to come loose from the bones, about 50 minutes.

Cut the ribs into pieces and serve with sauce on the side.

Here’s a real reason to celebrate — pies don’t have to be banned from a healthy diet.

The problem with many pies is that they are loaded with excess fat and sugar. The crust usually is the biggest culprit, with up to 220 calories and 15 grams of fat per serving.

But the fillings can be trouble as well. Even fruit fillings, which seem healthy enough on the surface, can be hiding more sugar than you think, and sometimes are laced with butter.

Rather than give up your favorite pie, you could take the road of moderation and just enjoy a tiny slice.

The other strategy for keeping pie in your diet is to make one you can feel good about indulging in.

A good place to start is getting rid of the top crust, which immediately lops off a good chunk of fat and calories.

As for the filling, fruit is the right idea, just try to limit the sugar. Consider sweetening fillings with fruit juice concentrates or even purees, such as applesauce or apple butter.

Cream and custard

pies, which often are made with full-fat dairy thickened with egg yolks, usually can be made lighter with low-fat milk using cornstarch or tapioca as a thickener.

This single crust blueberry-peach custard pie uses several of these techniques to produce a more virtuous slice.

Several cups of fresh fruit are baked into a light custard made with only two whole eggs, skim milk and nonfat Greek-style yogurt, which adds body and a hint of tanginess that balances the natural sweetness of the peaches and blueberries.

BLUEBERRY-PEACH CUSTARD PIE Start to finish: 3 hours (15 minutes active) Servings: 10 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup skim milk 3/4 cup (6 ounces) nonfat plain Greek-style yogurt 2 large eggs 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon almond extract Pinch of salt 1 store-bought, refrigerated pie crust 1 cup blueberries 1 cup peeled, sliced peaches

Position a rack in lower third of the oven. Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.

To make the filling, in a medium bowl, combine the sugar, milk, yogurt, eggs, flour, cornstarch, almond extract and salt. Whisk until smooth. Set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll a sheet of pie crust into a 12-inch circle. Place the crust in the pie pan and trim so it overhangs evenly by about 1-inch. Fold the edges under and crimp or flute the edge with your fingers or a fork. Place the pie pan on a baking sheet.

Arrange peaches in the bottom of the crust and top with the blueberries in an even layer. Pour the filling on top (the fruit will float but this won’t affect the final results). Bake for 25 minutes.

After the pie has baked for 25 minutes and the filling is beginning to set, remove from oven and cover the edges of the crust with foil to help prevent over browning.

Reduce heat to 350 F and return the pie to oven.

Bake until a knife inserted at the center of the pie comes out clean, another 20 to 25 minutes (the pie may puff up quite a bit but will settle during cooling). Let cool for 1 1/2 hours. Serve warm or refrigerate until cold and serve chilled.

play an important role in the normal functioning of the heart, brain, eyes, nervous system, kidney and liver. These essential fats have also been proved to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and inflammation. Additionally, because of the anti-inflammatory properties in omega-3 fatty acids, there are some studies that show it may help reduce post-exercise muscle soreness.

Health Perks: Research appearing in Medicine & Science, Sports & Exercise and the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism shows that amino acids are critical for muscle recovery. Amino acids are the building blocks muscles use to repair damage that occurs with exercise as well as to support muscle growth (aka muscle hypertrophy). Essential amino acids are those that must be obtained from diet.

(Animal proteins and soy protein contain all nine essential amino acids.)

What the research shows is that as little as 6 grams

were all thrilled about starting their very own garden. The kids worked extremely hard in helping to clear the garden site and were enthusiastic about planting and watering (and spraying each other with the hose!).

Overall, the program has been great so far. The

of essential amino can aid the recovery process.

And there is one specific amino acid â&#x20AC;&#x201D; leucine â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that researchers have identified as potentially helping maintain muscle mass. Leucine plays a key role in building new muscle protein, and salmon has a significant amount of leucine.

Salmon is also high in B vitamins, including more than 60 percent of the recommend daily value of vitamin B-12 (which helps with the formation of red blood cells and energy metabolism).

What about the mercury? Mercury is a trace element found in rocks that occurs naturally in the environment and can also be released into the air through industrial pollution. In the water, it turns into methylmercury. Fish with the highest mercury concentrations (according to the FDA and EPA) are shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish. Five of the most commonly eaten types of low-mercury seafood are shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock and catfish.

What about farmed versus wild? Well, the report that most refer to

is the 2003 study done by the Environmental Working Group. EWG tested farm salmon and found that â&#x20AC;&#x153;seven of 10 farmed salmon purchased at grocery stores in Washington D.C., San Francisco and Portland, Ore., were contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at levels that raise health concerns.â&#x20AC;?

Additionally a study published in the journal Science in 2004 analyzed more than 2 metric tons of farmed and wild salmon from around the world and found that the concentrations of PCBs were â&#x20AC;&#x153;significantly higher in farmed salmon than in wild. European-raised

youth have been eager to learn, and the adults have been more than willing to provide guidance and support.

Every evening you can see some of the community members in the garden. The crows have started to become a nuisance so a few of the youth have suggested making a scarecrow as their next project! We are all so excited that this community garden will

provide us access to fresh produce, education and a positive connection between youth and adults in our neighborhood. For Brick Capital Community Development Corporation, the garden provides a wonderful connection between the environment and local community development. The kids are already thrilled about the chance to harvest the first real vegetables theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever grown!

dehydrated person from the sun, remove any excess clothing and/or loosen clothing to aid the cooling of the body. The ideal situation would be to take the person to airconditioned areas to help return body temperatures to normal. However, if air conditioning is not available, place the person near fans or in the shade, and if possible lay a wet towel around the person.

A spray bottle can also be used to spray lukewarm water on the skin surface. It is extremely important to avoid exposing skin to extreme cold by using ice packs or ice water. While this

may seem to be the best idea, intense cold can cause the blood vessels in the skin to constrict and will decrease rather than increase heat loss. Exposure to excessive cold can also cause shivering, which will increase body temperature, and is the opposite effect youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to achieve.

Preventative measures are the key to avoiding dehydration on these hot summer days and to enjoying your summer.

Remember to keep cool and drink plenty of fluids.

These hot summer days will soon pass and will be back to cool weather before you know it.

too much at one time can result in blossomend rot.

Blossom-end rot often occurs when rapidly growing plants experience a period of drought.

The less water taken up by the plant, the less calcium is moved into

the plant. So sometimes, the soil will have plenty of calcium that is just not plant accessible. In order to moderate the amount of moisture plants are receiving, mulch using straw, pine straw or newspaper. Plastic and other mulches may also be used. Be sure to irrigate when necessary; tomatoes require 1.0 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1.5 inches of water per week, especially during fruiting.

What if you already have blossom-end rot on your tomato fruit? Lime will take time to work.

Often the best solution is to pull off those tomatoes showing symptoms of blossom-end rot and water more regularly. The plant many times grows out of the calcium deficiency.

Another solution is to use a calcium spray.

However, a foliar spray may not be necessary, again since the plant often grows out of the calcium deficiency. A foliar spray containing calcium nitrate or calcium chloride works well if applied 2-3 times per week. Be sure to read and follow the label.

Blossom-end rot, although a common disorder, is easy to prevent.

A quick and easy (maybe dirty too!) soil sample will give you the precise information you need to make an ideal growing environment for your garden plants. For more information on blossomend rot or on growing tomatoes in the home garden, call our Center at 775-5624 or reference HIL 8107-A: BlossomEnd Rot of Tomatoes in the Home Garden.

TIPS & NOTES n Note: Wild-caught salmon from the Pacific (Alaska and Washington) and Pacific cod are more sustainably fished and have a larger, more stable population. For more information, visit Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch. n Tip: To toast chopped or sliced nuts, stir constantly in a small dry skillet over mediumlow heat until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. n Tip: To skin a salmon fillet, place on a clean cutting board, skin side down. Starting at the tail end, slip the blade of a long, sharp knife between the flesh and the skin, holding the skin down firmly with your other hand. Gently push the blade along at a 30-degree angle, separating the fillet from the skin without cutting through either.
