Jinayah Davis did not want to laugh.

When storyteller Ron Jones strode to the front of the Lee County Community Arts Center auditorium on Wednesday, the 8-year-old slouched down in her seat, eyes half-shut, lower lip pouted.

Voice pitched low, Jones started building his tale, the story of a treacherous lion outsmarted by a crafty monkey.

SANFORD — A 15-yearold Sanford boy who died in a car accident Tuesday was a quiet-natured student who loved being outside, said Mark West, assistant principal at Lee County High School.

Johnathan Stone was killed in a two-car wreck Tuesday afternoon after he was partially ejected from the passenger seat of a pickup truck, the North Stone Carolina Highway Patrol said.

Stone would have started his sophomore year at Lee County High School in the fall, and Principal Greg Batten said the school’s hearts and prayers go out to Stone’s family.

“It’s tragic for someone so young who has their whole life ahead of them to have it snapped away,” Batten said.

The wreck occurred around 4 p.m. on Poplar Springs Church Road when a westbound car crossed the center line at the 5700 block and struck the

HARNETT COUNTY

Holly Springs turns to county for water

HOLLY SPRINGS (MCT) — Holly Springs is making a move for cheaper water.

The town, which has bought its water from Raleigh for a decade, has chosen to draw solely from a cheaper, more plentiful pipeline out of Harnett County.

Holly Springs chose not to renew a water purchase agreement with Raleigh.

Instead, the town is purchasing water from Harnett County at 57 percent of the Raleigh price: $1.75 per 1,000 gallons, compared with $3.05 per 1,000 gallons from Raleigh, according to data provided by Holly Springs.

Discussions to wind down the Raleigh water contract early were prompted by the 2007 drought. Raleigh needed more water for its own customers, and Holly Springs was already finding much cheaper water elsewhere. — The Cary News

Routine tests found Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious ailments in pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.

Major Gary Blankenship of the Chatham Sheriff’s Office said investigators are eyeing Knight for more robberies in both Chatham and Alamance counties. “We certainly believe that he’s involved in several and we believe that he has had help in the ones that he has been involved with,� Blankenship said.

Deputies say they received evidence last week that Knight was involved in a rash of ATV thefts over several months and made an arrest Friday.

Blankenship said he expects there will be additional arrests forthcoming in the ATV cases.

Knight faces five counts of felonious larceny, two counts of felony possession of stolen goods, one count of misdemeanor possession of stolen goods, two counts of felonious breaking and entering, misdemeanor larceny and property damage in

Chatham County, Blankenship said.

He is charged with larceny of a four-wheeler and injury to property in Alamance County, Blankenship said.

Knight’s criminal record includes convictions on a handful of misdemeanors in Lee County, including drug possession charges and carrying a concealed weapon.

He is being jailed under a $95,000 secured bond and is scheduled for a July 26 District Court date in Pittsboro, the Sheriff’s Office said.

West first met Stone when Stone was a student at East Lee Middle School. He said Stone was a personable young man who always made it a point to talk to him.

“I remember Johnathan as a bright, affable young man,� West said.

After Stone started his freshman year at Lee County High School, West said he saw him begin to grow as a student and as a person. “He really started coming into his own,� West said. “He was becoming more outgoing than the quiet young man I knew at East Lee.�

Stone is the second

Families that can afford it should pay for lunch Their View Issue: Parents who do not meet the guidelines for free or reduced school lunches, but still use the service

Our stance: In these trying economic times, it is important that those who need help can get it

Greensboro News and Record For some kids, lunch at school is the most nutritious meal they’ll get all day and perhaps the only one.

While many come from families qualifying for federally funded free or reduced-cost breakfast and/or lunch, the rub occurs when parents not meeting guidelines on income and family size don’t pay up.

In Guilford County, the unpaid bill reached nearly a half-million dollars in 2008-09 and is on pace to surpass that figure this fiscal year.

The dilemma is feeding hungry kids, yet also holding parents

“Those still fortunate enough to be able to pay should be responsible for what they owe. It’s a lesson kids should learn at an early age.” responsible for their tab.

How they pay is an issue.

Some school districts require the money up front -- when the food is served. Guilford County allows parents to use electronic accounts for day-to-day billing, then pay later. Attempts have been made to collect, but with only limited success. With meals costing roughly $2.50 each, the totals mount.

School districts elsewhere face similar issues. One in West Virginia has turned over the names of those in arrears to a collection agency.

Others provide students, who don’t qualify for the subsidy and are unable to pay, with a basic meal. But the students are encouraged to bring money next time.

Congress could help by ad-

dressing rising costs in the U.S. Department of Agriculture-sponsored program.

Priorities include increasing local school district funding for healthier meals and adjusting participation guidelines. At the same time, there must be assurances that families accurately report income information.

No stigma should be attached to program participation. As the recession lingers, more families may need it. But equally important, those still fortunate enough to be able to pay should be responsible for what they owe. It’s a lesson kids should learn at an early age.

No time for poker faces

T

o his credit, state House Speaker Joe Hackney has generally allowed his caucus, his fellow House Democrats, to decide the direction of legislation in his chamber.

Legislative leaders can sometimes run into trouble when they do otherwise, when they let personal agendas dictate whether a bill will get hearing or vote.

Sometimes, though, the larger public interest demands that chamber leaders get the attention of those whom they lead, that they use some political muscle or expend some political capital to push through measures that divide their caucuses.

Hackney recently made a mistake when he failed on that account.

His counterpart in the Senate, Marc Basnight, let him know.

For weeks, House Democrats had been talking about how they would soon put forward legislation intended to ban video poker casinos, now operating under the guise of Internet sweepstakes “cafes.”

House Democrats came out of a closed-door caucus meeting doing more talking, and not much acting.

Some wanted to legalize and tax the machines. Some wanted to ban them.

Some wanted to do nothing at all.

Many of them apparently haven’t ridden around their communities lately to see how these unregulated casinos are popping up in vacated buildings everywhere. ...

Basnight and his crew of Senate Democrats tired of the talk, and tired of waiting.

They rolled out their own bill to ban video poker.

“We will not tolerate this type of exploitation in North Carolina,” said bill sponsor Josh Stein, a Wake County Democrat....

After approving a lottery earlier this decade, the North Carolina legislature has lost some moral authority regarding gambling. But obvious differences exist between trying to match numbers on a piece of paper and feeding money into a flashing, whizzing machine for hours on end.

And legislators have already banned these machines twice.

It’s only the actions of activist judges with little respect for legislative authority or intent — and little regard for the practical effect of their decisions — that have allowed the casinos. ...

Unregulated casinos can’t be allowed to proliferate unchecked.

Before the end of the week, the Senate will probably have approved its bill banning the casinos. The legislation, responding to the court decisions, tightens definitions regarding what type of operations are illegal.

The House will then be on the spot.

Perhaps a few of its members will remember what happened the last time they flirted with the video poker industry.

Just a reminder: an FBI investigation ensued; an unprecedented political scandal unfolded; a House speaker went to prison.

No reason to worry about any of that.

Muzzle is unwarranted

S

AN DIEGO — Something just doesn’t smell right in the aftermath of the brouhaha on Capitol Hill over a congressman’s pointed criticism of White House efforts to coax BP to set up a $20 billion relief fund for victims of the Gulf oil spill. And before we close the chapter on this story, Americans ought to think long and hard about what it really teaches us.

We have three branches of government for good reason. Shouldn’t one be able to challenge the conduct of another, even if that criticism is piercing and personal?

President Obama does this all the time.

He has repeatedly chided Republicans in Congress for what he believes to be their misplaced priorities and criticized members of the Supreme Court — to their face, during a State of the Union address — for a campaign finance ruling with which he disagreed.

But somehow, when the criticism is flowing in the opposite direction — either by spontaneous outbursts (i.e., “you lie”) or prepared remarks in a congressional hearing — it’s time to take names and demand punishment.

The problem is not just that Obama has a thin skin. It’s that, for all the complaints from Democrats during the George W. Bush administration about brazen power grabs by the executive branch, the Obama White House seems even more determined to dominate the other branches.

Don’t misunderstand. This is not to excuse the insensitivity and ineptness of Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, an energy industry darling and the ranking Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Last week, Barton stunned a congressional committee hearing by offering a fullthroated public apology to BP chief executive Tony Hayward for the Obama administration’s efforts to establish the relief fund, which the congressman characterized as a “tragedy” and a “shakedown.”

Later, after being admonished by both Republican leaders and Democrats, Barton tried to dig himself out.

While he didn’t apologize to the White House, or retract his criticism of the tactics that led to the creation of the fund, Barton did clarify that he didn’t mean to absolve BP of its responsibility to clean up its mess in the Gulf of Mexico. That he wanted to make clear.

The backtracking was no surprise. Barton quickly realized that he had his own mess to clean up. He couldn’t risk — and more importantly, Republicans in Congress couldn’t risk — being seen as unconcerned about the suffering along the Gulf Coast and eager to absolve BP of its responsibility to alleviate at least some of it through financial compensation. That wouldn’t play well with voters — even Republican voters — in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and other states directly impacted by the spill.

Ruben Navarrette Jr. Columnist Ruben Navarrette Jr. is a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group

It certainly didn’t help Barton that, as the media rushed to point out, he has long been a good friend to the oil industry, collecting in the last two decades more than $1.4 million in campaign contributions.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the figure puts him above all other House members for industry donations.

However, none of this changes the fact that Barton had every right to say what he did, however clumsily he said it.

He was raising legitimate concerns about where an administration gets the legal authority to strong-arm a company to surrender assets and whether there was some coercion here. Other Republicans have said or implied much the same thing, pointing to the fact that Attorney General Eric Holder — having already threatened legal action against BP — was sitting at the table during the negotiation with Hayward. We can be assured that this was not because the nation’s top law enforcement official has some special expertise that we don’t know about in deep-water drilling and the cleaning up of oil spills.

Even if Barton is correct in his assessment and this was a first-rate shakedown, don’t expect many Americans to rally to BP’s defense — and for good reason.

The company has been even more tone deaf than its defenders in its handling of the cleanup. In fact, you can bet there are a lot of people out there who would like to see more shakedowns of companies that put profit before the environment and the welfare and safety of others.

But just because something is popular doesn’t make it right. Someone has to be willing to say that. Thank goodness someone did.

Today’s Prayer Jesus said, “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit.” (John 15:16 RSV) PRAYER: Lord Jesus Christ, accept us for Your service. Make us aware of our need to dwell in Your presence as we seek to meet the needs of others. Amen.

In response to Mr. Yow’s letter regarding North Carolina’s coastal drilling policy — I know the current oil leak crisis has put all drilling in a bad light, but this accident is the anomaly, not the rule.

Drilling in shallow waters off our coast would be very safe. The technology that has been developed has proven this to be so. Thousands of rigs manage this every day.

The deep water well was newer technology, and many say it was forced due to the current state of regulations. BP wanted this to succeed so that this technology could be further utilized. This does not mean that the current shallow water drilling is now dangerous. That is a leap not supported by any facts.

To clarify, this would be natural gas, not oil, most likely.

By the way, Obama is in favor of more drilling.

The point I find most disturbing is the warping of the name of our coast into this argument. The “Graveyard of the Atlantic” name was given due to the shallow waters and its danger to shipping. Additionally, German U-boats utilized the shipping corridor for attacks on U.S. during WWII. Neither of these reasons for the name have anything to do with oil rigs fixed in place, unless the Germans go at it again.

This “shows a poor understanding of our state’s history or a complete disregard of their common sense,” to quote Mr. Yow. The shallower water may make it even safer.

I hope that Mr. Yow has more to offer in support of our current representative. Uninformed shots in the dark do not help him make a case over the “heavy-handed” actions of Etheridge in D.C. MIKE NEAL Sanford

There’s no room for Thomas’ hate To the Editor: There isn’t room for a deep down snarky, mean-spirited, arrogant person who didn’t ask questions but rather made long rambling often hateful anti-Semitic statements and used her “press position” as her own personal bully pulpit to push her disagreeably shameful political agenda!

Helen Thomas looked straight into the camera, and without flinching, told the rabbi to tell Israelis to go home to Poland, where the concentration camps were, or Germany, those who created the death camps! Ms. Thomas, go quietly into that dark night you created, close the door to your room and be quiet.

We’ve heard quite enough.

EDC Continued from Page 1A

budgeted more than $1 million for economic development initiatives in the 2010-2011 spending plan.

The revised EDC contract, which was presented to Lee County commissioners Monday, mandates quarterly update meetings for the EDC with the county, Sanford and Broadway, as well as an annual report on EDC activities and monthly written reports on the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initiatives.

Officials at the EDC will also be required to develop a strategic marketing plan for the county by the end of the year.

The group is charged with luring industry into Lee County and often wrangles incentive packages for tax breaks to companies once they agree to settle or expand operations locally.

Commissioner Amy Dalrymple, a member of the committee that drafted the document, described it as a plan crafted to enhance EDC accountability that maintains needed â&#x20AC;&#x153;flexibilityâ&#x20AC;? in how it attracts companies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to keep our hands on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on because moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tight and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to watch it,â&#x20AC;? said Commissioner Larry â&#x20AC;&#x153;Docâ&#x20AC;? Oldham, also a contributor in the committee gatherings.

EDC Director Bob Heuts said the revised contract includes â&#x20AC;&#x153;no major changesâ&#x20AC;? for his organization, aside from

the additional reporting requirements.

Heuts said the EDC was not bound before by any stipulations that force the group and its heads to meet at scheduled times with government leaders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any problem with it whatsoever and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll certainly comply with any of those indicators,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Heuts said he believes the process of brainstorming improvements to the EDC was handled fairly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously with the trying times that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had, I think all of the government bodies are looking a little more closely at all of the operations,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something that they just have to do.â&#x20AC;?

The revised contract was met with a considerably cooler reaction from Commissioner Linda Shook, an outspoken critic of tax incentives and the only member of the board to vote against the new contract Monday.

Shook said, despite the mandated reports and meetings, the contract is bereft of the measures that critics called for to keep the agency accountable.

She complained that officials have also left it up to the EDC to determine how it pursues economic development, with no set direction on goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just not comfortable putting the taxpayers on the hook for that,â&#x20AC;?

Shook said.

Critics of incentives say that the EDC could be offering tax breaks to companies that would have settled locally anyway, although proponents

%IL>IH 1NL??N Great location, open ďŹ&#x201A;oor plan, sunroom with grill,courtyard, porch,workshop & garage $98,500 MLS#R83203

say baiting companies is a necessary method for competing economically with other counties.

The group has been active of late, negotiating tax breaks for manufacturers Parkdale USA and offering a $900,000 upfront payment for a targeted $31 million expansion from construction machinery giant Caterpillar Inc. Board of Commissioners Chairman Richard Hayes said close inspection of the agency was merited by the economic times, but he remains a supporter of the EDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initiatives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was the feeling that it had done very well through the years and especially through the good times,â&#x20AC;? Hayes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was very little to complain about, they have done a very respectable job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is it everything that it could be? Could it be better than it has been? I think the answer to that is clearly probably.â&#x20AC;?

Hayes said officials have come under pressure to make the EDC only accountable to the county, as Lee County provides the bulk, or about 65 percent, of its needed funds.

But Hayes said Sanford and Broadway officials should continue to be a part of EDC huddles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is good for one is probably good for all,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Oldham described the revised contract, which will be presented to Sanford and Broadway leaders too, as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;starting point.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel like if we need to change something down the road, we can change it,â&#x20AC;? Oldham said.

Story Continued from Page 1A

Jinayah stayed slouched and her lip stayed poutedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but by mid-story, her eyes were locked on Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; face.

This kind of challenge is Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; specialty. As a professional storyteller, he roams the auditoriums and festivals of North Carolina, bringing the classic art to adults and children alike. On Wednesday, he visited Sanford as part of the Lee County Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer reading program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe in the power of stories,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embedded in a story can help bring out an emotion or a thought or a philosophy in someone. Stories speak to people.â&#x20AC;?

Jones has a repertoire of about 800 stories, from classic fairy tales to his own creations. The idea is to create magic through the spoken word and show children the fun and power of a good story.

Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fable was adapted from an African folk tale. At the end of the story, the monkey tricks the lion into swinging across the river on a vineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but the lion is so fat that the vine breaks mid-swing. On Wednesday, Jones pulled his mouth into a comical O as the lion fell into the river with a splash.

At that moment, a full-fledged grin spread across Jinayahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face. She giggled. She clapped. She

made her own splashing sound effect with her lips, and gave a thumbs up toward the stage.

Maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small victory, but for Jones, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s those moments of connection that inspired him to pursue storytelling in the first place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do it because I love it, because I know the impact storytelling has on kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you can see it,â&#x20AC;?

Jones said.

The Durham-based Jones is part of a movement that started in the 1970s, when a resurgence in folk arts lead to renewed interest in the classic back-porch art of storytelling. Jones himself has traveled to one of the starting points for the modern resurgence in the art, the annual National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee.

Jones wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always a storyteller. He started out as an actor with a touring repertory theatre company. Then he took a temporary job at a public library, and what was supposed to be a four-month stint to earn some quick cash turned into a full-time gig planning special programs for kids. Jones spent 22 years with the Wake County Public Library system, first as a traveling childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s librarian, then as the coordinator for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services.

He blended his love of stories with his theatre background to create

magic for the children attending library events.

He started freelancing as a storyteller outside the library walls, spinning his yarns at Boy Scout camps and other low-key locations.

Now Jones criss-crosses the state, and often spins tales for crowds of 1,000 or more. He retired from the state library ten years ago, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a professional storyteller ever since. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also taught the art at Meredith College.

Jones doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read out loud during his performances, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do funny voices and he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make things up on the fly. Each story is carefully memorized and practiced for effect, with attention to tone of voice and eye contact. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like being a professional musician, Jones said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you have to practice and develop your skill and technique.

And, of course, there are other skills required.

In the course of Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set, Jones chirped like a cricket, meowed like a cat, clucked like a chicken and harumphed like an elephant. His audience loved it.

Just ask Sanford Child Care lead teacher â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and expert in the length of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention spans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Donna Newell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first trip weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on this summer that everybody paid attention,â&#x20AC;?

STATE BRIEFS

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Voters could decide whether convicted felons should be barred from running for sheriff in North Carolina.

The Senate voted Wednesday by a 46-1 margin to put a proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot this fall that would prevent anyone convicted of a felony to serve as sheriff.

The North Carolina Sheriffsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association backs the proposed change. Six candidates for sheriff who are known felons ran unsuccessfully during the May 4 primary election, including former Davidson County Sheriff Gerald Hege.

The bill now goes to the House for consideration.

At least three-fifths of the members in the House and the Senate must approve a proposal for the North Carolina Constitution before it can be voted upon in a statewide referendum.

Public financing returns bill to NC Senate panel

couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept the package because it contained public financing, which the GOP largely opposes.

Some good government advocates also donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the reforms go far enough.

Patrol spokesman resigns over text messages RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The spokesman for the North Carolina Highway Patrol has resigned during an investigation into charges of sending inappropriate text messages to a female co-worker.

Maj. Everett Clendenin, who has been spokesman for the agency for nine of his 22 years there, offered his resignation on Wednesday.

State Crime Control and Public Safety Secretary Reuben Young says the agency has a zero tolerance policy for inappropriate conduct.

Multiple media outlets report that Clendenin issued a brief statement in which he admitted to poor judgment, but denied he had a sexual relationship with a co-worker.

Young says the internal investigation will continue.

Governor and dog toughen animal cruelty laws

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Senate committee will take another look at an ethics, campaign finance and government reform partly due to concerns about a provision that expands voluntary public financing.

Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt pulled the bill Wednesday from the Senate floor and returned it to a judiciary committee for more debate on Thursday.

Nesbitt said some fellow Democratic senators are concerned how it would extend the public financing program to five more Council of State positions. Nesbitt said senators also are worried about a robocall opposing the expansion. Former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCcory made one for the group Americans for Prosperity.

Republicans said they

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina has a new law bearing its governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature and a dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paw print that could put people in jail for the worst cases of animal abuse.

Gov. Beverly Perdue on Wednesday signed a measure that threatens jail time for those who torture, starve or kill an animal.

The punishment could be up to eight months behind bars, but a judge could agree to community service instead.

On hand was Susie, who was a puppy last year when she was burned, beaten and left to die. A judge said state law allowed him to sentence the Greensboro man who abused Susie to no more than probation.

Contractor injured returns from hospital FORT BRAGG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Army are investigating the shooting death of a contractor at Fort Bragg that happened during a live fire drill in which two others were wounded, officials said Wednesday.

The contractor was killed at Womack Army Medical Center on Tuesday.

A second range control contractor with Tennesseebased Echota Technolo-

gies Corp. was shot and wounded and flown to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill and has been released, the company said.

A third person wounded, a soldier who is a student at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School, has been released from the hospital.

The company did not release the contractorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names.

Close to 150 soldiers

were at the range, but only 15 were taking part in the live fire exercise, said Maj. David Butler, a spokesman for the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School.

The soldiers were students in the Special Forces weapons sergeant course. They were training with M4 rifles and M249 Squad Automatic Weapons. The M249 is a light machine gun capable of firing bursts.

It is unclear how the three men were shot and officials at Fort Bragg could not release details because of the investigation.

The Army investigation started Tuesday and OSHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on Wednesday, according to Suzanne Street, the agenyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s area director in Raleigh.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Sweepstakes workers visit legislators RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The sweepstakes and arcade industries came to the Legislature on Wednesday with a crowd of employees and players to urge lawmakers not to extend a video game gambling ban to computer-based games found at several hundred Internet cafes and business centers.

Companies that operate about 100 copying, fax and Internet service locations that also offer the games brought in 25 busloads of workers and some players to the Legislative Building to try to dissuade House members from banning the games.

The Senate approved the sweepstakes ban by a 47-1 vote earlier this week. A House committee will consider the measure soon.

Organizers estimated between 1,200 and 1,500 people visited Raleigh, with hundreds hold-

ing signs outside in the 95-degree heat. They said expanding the ban to including sweepstakes games would put them and thousands more out of work and ruin a largely harmless entertainment for consumers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need jobs in our county and in our country,â&#x20AC;? said Lisa Clark, 45, of Eden, who works at the Opportunity Knocks Madison Business Center in Rockingham County, which has a jobless rate of 13 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have nothing to do for pleasure.â&#x20AC;?

Employees and players have filled lawmakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; inboxes with e-mails pleading that the sweepstakes games be allowed to continue. Amusement machine owners who used to distribute machines separately argue it would be better to replace the video poker machine ban that took

effect in July 2007 with legislation that would regulate machines and give the state 20 percent of the revenues.

HOW TO PROTECT DOGS FROMTHE â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;DOG DAYSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; OF SUMMER Few things can be as refreshing as a quick dip in the pool or a cool shower on a hot summer day. Summer humidity can get to almost anyone, including the family dog.

Keeping dogs cool in the summer should be a priority, as Fido certainly canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for the air conditioner to be turned up. Recognizing the need to cool down dogs during the summertime, the American Animal Hospital Association offers the following tips to protect pooches throughout the summer months. s +EEP DOGS OUT OF THE CAR Temperatures inside a car can quickly reach 120 F, even on relatively mild summer days. So while your dog may be a great companion when running errands in the spring, winter or fall, leave him home in the summer. s +EEP DOGS WELL GROOMED ,ONG HAIR should be trimmed and keep hair mats clipped to help dogs survive the summer heat. s "UILD A DOG HOUSE 7HILE MANY homeowners now invite the family dog into the house, there are still some who prefer manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend live outdoors.

Dog owners who keep their dogs outside should build adequate shelter that helps dogs survive midday heat and sun. Outdoor kennels should be wellventilated and placed in a location that provides sufďŹ cient shade throughout the entire day. s 0AY ATTENTION TO YOUR DOG S BEHAVIOR 7HILE &IDO MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO TELL YOU heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot, his behavior might be doing just that. Indicators of heat exhaustion include excessive panting, a blank or anxious expression, disobedience, rapid heartbeat, and vomiting. Dog owners should lower the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body temperature by spraying cool water on the dog or immersing the animal in cool water whenever he exhibits any of these symptoms. Call your veterinarian for immediate emergency care for your pet. s !VOID EXCESSIVE EXERCISE $OGS NEED exercise, but overexertion on hot days can lead to heat stress. On especially hot days, limit walks or time outside to early morning or evening hours.

More oil gushing after cap problem

NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tens of thousands of gallons more oil gushed into the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday after an undersea robot bumped into the cap that had been containing some of the crude, forcing BP to remove it.

The setback, yet another in the nine-week effort to stop the gusher, came as the Obama administration tried to figure out how to resurrect a six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling and thick pools of oil washed up on beaches in Florida.

Removing the containment cap meant about 29,000 extra gallons of oil an hour were spewing, based on the record amount that had been captured in the previous 24 hours. Under the current worst-case scenario, as much as 104,000 gallons an hour â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 2.5 million gallons a day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is flowing when there are no devices stopping some of it.

The robot bumped the cap just before 10 a.m. Wednesday, sending gas rising through a vent that carries warm water down to prevent ice-like crystals from forming inside it, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said.

Crews were checking to see if crystals had formed before putting the cap back on. BP spokesman Bill Salvin could not say how long that might take. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it as quickly as possible,â&#x20AC;? he said.

A similar problem

Cleaned pelicans, formerly oiled from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, are released at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge on the Texas Gulf Coast, Wednesday. doomed the effort to put a bigger containment device over the blownout well in May. BP had to abandon the four-story box after the crystals called hydrates clogged it, threatening to make it float away.

The smaller cap, which had worked fine until now, had been in place since early June and was sucking oil up to a ship on the surface. To get it there, though, crews had to slice away a section of the leaking pipe, meaning the flow of oil could be stronger now than before.

Before the problem with the cap, it had collected about 700,000 gallons of oil in 24 hours.

Another 438,000 gallons was burned on the surface by a different system that was not affected.

Anywhere from 67 million to 127 million gallons has spilled since the April 20 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig that killed 11 workers and blew out the well 5,000 feet underwater. BP PLC

was leasing the rig from owner Transocean Ltd. The Obama administration was plotting its next steps Wednesday after U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman in New Orleans overturned a moratorium on new drilling, saying the government simply assumed that because one rig exploded, the others pose an imminent danger, too.

Feldman, appointed

by President Ronald Reagan in 1983, has reported extensive investments in the oil and gas industry, including owning less than $15,000 of Transocean stock, according to financial disclosure reports for 2008, the most recent available. He did not return calls for comment on his investments.

The White House promised an immediate appeal of his ruling.

The Interior Department imposed the moratorium last month in the wake of the BP disaster, halting approval of any new permits for deepwater projects and suspending drilling on 33 exploratory wells.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said in a statement that within the next few days he would issue a new order imposing a moratorium that eliminates any doubt it is needed and appropriate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move forward with new drilling until we know it can be done in a safe way,â&#x20AC;? he told a

Senate subcommittee Wednesday.

Several companies, including Shell and Marathon Oil, said they would await the outcome of any appeals before they start drilling again.

Asked about it Wednesday on NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;? show, BP managing director Bob Dudley said his company will â&#x20AC;&#x153;step backâ&#x20AC;? from the issue while it investigates the rig explosion.

BP said Wednesday that Dudley has been appointed to head the new Gulf Coast Restoration Organization, which is in charge of cleaning up the spill. He takes over from BP CEO Tony Hayward, who has been widely criticized for his handling of the crisis.

In Florida, thick pools of oil washed up along miles of national park and Pensacola Beach shoreline as health advisories against swimming and fishing in the once-pristine waters were extended for 33 miles east from the Alabama/Florida border. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty ugly, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question about it,â&#x20AC;? said Gov. Charlie Crist, who toured Pensacola on Wednesday morning.

The oil had a chemical stench as it baked in the afternoon heat. The beach looked as if it had been paved with a 6-footwide ribbon of asphalt, much different from the tar balls that washed up two weeks earlier.

Fed strikes more cautious tone on U.S. recovery WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Federal Reserve struck a more cautious tone about the strength of the U.S. economic recovery, indicating Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt crisis poses a risk to it.

Wrapping up a two-day meeting Wednesday, the Fed in a 9-1 decision retained its pledge to hold rates at record-low levels for an â&#x20AC;&#x153;extended period.â&#x20AC;? Doing so is intended to energize the rebound.

The Fed expressed confidence that the recovery will stay intact despite threats from abroad and at home.

But Chairman Ben Bernanke and his colleagues offered a slightly more reserved outlook than the last time they convened.

The Fed said the economic recovery is â&#x20AC;&#x153;proceeding.â&#x20AC;?

That was a bit less upbeat than the view at the April meeting when the Fed said economic activity continued to â&#x20AC;&#x153;strengthen.â&#x20AC;? The Fed also said the labor market is â&#x20AC;&#x153;improving gradually.â&#x20AC;?

While not mentioning Europe by name, the Fed said â&#x20AC;&#x153;financial conditions have become less supportive of economic growth ... largely reflecting developments abroad.â&#x20AC;?

The fragile economic picture increases pressure on President Barack Obama and lawmakers in Washington.

Near-double-digit unemployment is certain to factor into the way Americans vote in congressional midterm elections this fall. If it fails to come down after that, the jobless rate could play a significant role in the 2012 presidential election.

Stock Exchange. Treasury prices rose, pushing down interest rates. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to its lowest level in more than a year.

Stocks fell early in the day after the government said new home sales dropped by a third to a record low last month. Sales fell to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 300,000. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had forecast sales would drop to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 410,000.

The Dow lost as much as 66 points after the housing numbers came out. On Tuesday, an unexpected slide in sales of existing homes also hurt stocks. Existing homes make up a far bigger part of the market than new homes but traders were braced for more bad news Wednesday.

Gulf property sales slide further on oil fears

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This was the year, Alicia Hollis and her fellow real estate agents thought. After a nasty batch of hurricanes and the bursting of the housing bubble, this was the year that condo sales along the Florida Panhandleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brilliant white beaches were going to rebound.

Then came the oil â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or more accurately, the mere threat of oil.

Though most of the Gulf Coast remains free of tar balls, sheen and sludge from the spill in the Gulf of Mexico, owners and agents say the disaster has still stained a showcase piece of the real estate market.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the third sucker punch in six years for property owners, many of whom were depending on rental units to fund their retirement. State lawmakers are looking to let homeowners off the hook on some of their taxes, hoping to pass the cost along to BP. But things wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get better as long as images of oiled sand keep buyers away.

Hollisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; agency based on Okaloosa Island, where rows of condos line the beach, typically sells six or seven units a month. It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sold a single beachfront property since the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded off the Louisiana coast April 20. No one is even looking, she said.

“TWILIGHT’ SERIES

E-BRIEFS

Kisses, sex talk dominate ‘Eclipse’

By RYAN PEARSON AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES — The “Twilight” franchise is growing up.

In the series’ third installment, “Eclipse,” a dark tone pervades and limbs fly from bodies in a climactic battle involving vampires and werewolves.

And the love triangle between lead characters Edward, Bella and Jacob burns with even greater intensity.

“I guess in terms of the violence and stuff, I guess that makes it a little bit more grown-up,” said Robert Pattinson, who plays the smoldering vamp Edward. “And also I think it’s just a more accessible storyline. The sort of love triangle thing — being torn between two lovers doesn’t really happen when you’re eight.

So yeah, I guess it’s a bit more grown-up in that respect.”

Kristen Stewart, whose character Bella must choose between the two magical beings, compares the emotional trauma of making that choice to the violence of battle.

“I think there’s always one person that loves the other person more.

And that’s so heartbreaking. In this case, you add another person,” Stewart said. “And it’s interesting

In this film publicity image released by Summit Entertainment, Kristen Stewart, left, and James Pattinson are shown in a scene from, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” because she actually loves them both. And so you’re going to have to absolutely slaughter one of them, no matter what.”

Still, Taylor Lautner’s werewolf Jacob does get in one big kiss in the film directed by David Slade, and forces Bella to confess her love for him. Lautner smiles at the opportunity his character is given.

“It was different. It was weird, just that Jacob actually got to kiss Bella.

It was good,” he said.

“I mean, it was kind of the ultimate movie kiss.

Because we were on top of this mountain. There was a beautiful background.

The camera is circling around us. And there we are kissing.”

Of course, fans and the media are fascinated

by who Stewart kisses, both on and off-screen.

A fumbled stage kiss between her and Pattinson at the recent MTV Movie Awards was hyper-analzyed on blogs, and she’s been getting plenty of questions about her liplock with Lautner in the latest movie.

“It’s awesome that they’re that into it.

Whatever. I feel like — just the nature of the kisses that happen in this movie, they’re built up in the book,” Stewart said.

“They’re really built up in the book. Because I mean that’s just the nature of the story. But yeah. So maybe they take a bit of that and project it onto real life too.”

Pattinson calls his and Stewart’s MTV kiss

“a show” but says it was only done in hopes of entertaining the crowd and “we kind of messed it up It wasn’t particularly entertaining.”

Pattinson also shot down the suggestion that ’Twilight’ author Stephenie Meyer’s Mormon values are integrated into the book and movie series. His character won’t have sex with Bella — even though she wants to — until they’re married.

“I swear, the only reason any of the Mormon stuff is ever brought up, or was ever brought up, is for one thing because she (Meyer) is Mormon,” he said. “And the other thing — it’s because it just makes it respectable, it makes it acceptable to talk about ’Twilight’ stuff in supposedly high-brow publications. Yeah, you can put us in the New York Times now, because it’s about Mormonism.”

Pattinson said fans aren’t responding to the chastity of the characters but to the anticipation and longing that accompanies it.

“If they said at the beginning of the saga, like Edward and Bella: ’Listen, we’re never going to have sex. That’s just how it is.

I don’t have genitals,’ I don’t think it’d be half as successful,” he concluded, laughing.

Monaco’s Prince Albert bids adieu to bachelorhood PARIS (AP) — Prince Albert is giving Monaco a crown princess at last.

Ditching decades of bachelorhood, the boyish if balding monarch announced Wednesday he will marry South African ex-swimming champion Charlene Wittstock. Albert’s betrothed has iconic shoes to fill, stepping into a role left vacant since the death of much-beloved Princess Grace in a car crash.

Royal watchers were ecstatic at the announcement and many were wondering: Is the bespectacled playboy prince manning up? And most importantly, will the 52-year-old Albert, who has acknowledged fathering two children out of wedlock, finally produce a legitimate heir?

“It’s been 30 years since Grace died, 30 years they’ve been waiting for a first lady, a princess, a dream beauty, glam. And voila!” said Colombe Pringle, executive editor of Point de Vue magazine, which has followed Albert’s amorous adventures.

The palace of the moneyed Mediterranean principality didn’t say when His Serene Highness Albert II, Grace’s second child and the head of the 700-year-old Grimaldi dynasty, will marry the 32year-old Wittstock.

But the announcement put to rest months of speculation that the longtime companions would tie the knot.

Albert met the willowy blonde in 2000 when she traveled to Monaco for a swimming competition, and she has lived in the principality since 2006, said Laetitia Pierrat, a palace spokeswoman.

Prince Albert and Charlene Wittsock The couple are both Olympians — Albert was a bobsledder — and share English as one of their native tongues.

Wittstock swam for South Africa at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, though she won no medals. In the All Africa Games the year before, she won gold in the 100-meter freestyle. Before moving to Monaco, she also worked as a schoolteacher.

According to protocol, royal couples must wait at least six months between the announcement of the engagement and the wedding day, Pierrat said.

She demurred when asked whether Wittstock might be pregnant. “Honestly, I don’t think so,” she said, adding that she wasn’t privy to such matters but, if so, a formal announcement would probably have been made.

Jimmy Kimmel’s webcam show is no hi-def affair NEW YORK (AP) — The picture was fuzzy. The sound was tinny. “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” was less like a broadcast than a webcast.

No wonder.

“We’re having a technical problem tonight, so I decided to do the whole show from my computer,” Kimmel explained at the top of the hour in his office, one hand holding his laptop as he aimed its built-in webcam at himself.

Who needs expensive TV cameras, a fancy control room or high-tech recording gadgetry?

Not Kimmel, when faced with a power outage right before show time. For Tuesday’s edition, the resourceful TV host turned his chat show into iChat.

Walking on stage toting his laptop with him, he pivoted the webcam to display his cheering studio audience.

“Can’t we just plug into whatever that beacon is, right there?” he asked, pointing to the bright studio lights.

Alas, no. The lights worked fine, but the outage had shut down the control room, broadcast transmission center and tape operations area at Kimmel’s Hollywood studio.

Things had gone on the fritz Monday shortly before the ABC late-night show was scheduled to begin taping.

“I don’t know if this is going to work,” he said more than once, appearing genuinely perplexed.

McChrystal out; Petraeus to command

AP photo

President Barack Obama stands with Gen. David Petraeus and Vice President Joe Biden in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, Wednesday.

Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in the Rose Garden, he said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;War is bigger than any one man or woman, whether a private, a general, or a president.â&#x20AC;?

He urged the Senate to confirm Petraeus swiftly and emphasized the Afghanistan strategy he announced in December was not shifting with McChrystalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a change in personnel but it is not a change in policy,â&#x20AC;? Obama said.

Indeed, as Obama was speaking, McChrystal released a statement saying that he resigned out of â&#x20AC;&#x153;a desire to see the mission succeed.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I strongly support the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategy in Afghanistan,â&#x20AC;? McChrystal said.

WAR IN AFGHANISTAN

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Barack Obama sacked his loose-lipped Afghanistan commander Wednesday, a seismic shift for the military order in wartime, and chose the familiar, admired â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and tightly disciplined â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gen. David Petraeus to replace him. Petraeus, architect of the Iraq war turnaround, was once again to take hands-on leadership of a troubled war effort.

Obama said bluntly that Gen. Stanley McChrystalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scornful remarks about administration officials represent conduct that â&#x20AC;&#x153;undermines the civilian control of the military that is at the core of our democratic system.â&#x20AC;?

He fired the commander after summoning him from Afghanistan for a face to face meeting in the Oval Office and named Petraeus, the Central Command chief who was McChrystalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direct boss, to step in. Obama had offered the job to Petraeus during a private White House meeting earlier Wednesday, said a senior military official.

In a statement expressing praise for McChrystal yet certainty he had to go, Obama said he did not make the decision over any disagreement in policy or â&#x20AC;&#x153;out of any sense of personal insult.â&#x20AC;? Flanked

White House is confident he will be confirmed before Congress adjourns at the end of next week.

Obama hit several grace notes about McChrystal and his service after their half-hour meeting, saying he made the decision to sack him â&#x20AC;&#x153;with considerable regret.â&#x20AC;? And yet, he said the job in Afghanistan cannot be done now under McChrystalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership, asserting that the critical remarks from the general and his inner circle in the Rolling Stone magazine article displayed conduct that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live up to the standards for a command-level officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I welcome debate among my team, but I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tolerate division,â&#x20AC;?

Obama said. He had delivered that same message â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that there must be no more backbiting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to his full war cabinet in a Situ-

ation Room session, said a senior administration official.

The announcement came as June became the deadliest month for the U.S.-dominated international coalition in Afghanistan. NATO announced eight more international troop deaths Wednesday for a total of 76 this month, one more than in the deadliest month previously, in July 2009. Forty-six of those killed this month were Americans. The U.S. has 90,800 troops in Afghanistan.

Obama seemed to suggest that McChrystalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military career is over, saying the nation should be grateful â&#x20AC;&#x153;for his remarkable career in uniformâ&#x20AC;? as if that has drawn to a close.

McChrystal left the White House after the meeting and returned to his military quarters at Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fort McNair.

Petraeus, who attended a formal Afghanistan war meeting at the White House on Wednesday, has had overarching responsibility for the wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq as head of Central Command. He was to vacate the Central Command post after his expected confirmation, giving Obama another key opening to fill. The Afghanistan job is actually a step down from his current post but one that filled Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pre-eminent need.

Housing market struggles without government aid WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Americans showed far less appetite to buy new homes last month after the government stopped offering a homebuyer tax credit. The news signaled a renewed housing slump that threatens the broader economy.

Sales of new homes fell in May to their lowest level on record, plunging 33 percent from the month before. The bleak data followed a report earlier this week that sales of existing homes dipped, too.

The Federal Reserve, mindful of the fragility of the housing market, struck a more cautious tone Wednesday in its read on the economy. It said only that the recovery is â&#x20AC;&#x153;proceeding.â&#x20AC;? It had previously said the rebound was strengthening.

The Fed repeated its pledge to hold interest rates at record lows to fuel economic growth.

That has helped keep mortgage rates down, but even ultra-low rates couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overcome the chilling effect on newhome sales caused by the end of the tax credits.

The government offered up to $8,000. To qualify, buyers had to sign a contract by April 30.

Stem cells reverse blindness caused by burns LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dozens of people who

were blinded or otherwise suffered severe eye damage when they were splashed with caustic chemicals had their sight restored with transplants of their own stem cells â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a stunning success for the burgeoning cell-therapy field, Italian researchers reported Wednesday.

The treatment worked completely in 82 of 107 eyes and partially in 14 others, with benefits lasting up to a decade so far.

One man whose eyes were severely damaged more than 60 years ago now has near-normal vision.

Stem cell transplants offer hope to the thousands of people worldwide every year who suffer chemical burns on their corneas from heavy-duty cleansers or other substances at work or at home.

Residents allowed back home as Ariz. fire persists FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An estimated 1,000 people who were forced to flee their homes because of a forest fire outside Flagstaff were allowed to return Wednesday.

Homeowners and their families began to trickle into the evacuated neighborhoods at 8 a.m. They had left their homes Sunday after the fire erupted just north of the northern Arizona city that is home to 60,000 people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very glad,â&#x20AC;? said resident Lula Whitehair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we saw that fire coming, we thought the worst.â&#x20AC;?

JACKSON LEANING TOWARD RETIREMENT EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson is leaning toward retirement, but will wait until next week to make his final decision.

The 11-time NBA champion said Wednesday he’ll get the results of another battery of medical tests before deciding whether to end his matchless coaching career, but Jackson sounds increasingly likely to head for retirement after the Lakers’ second straight title.

“Some of it’s about health,” Jackson said. “Some of it is just the way I feel right now. It’s hard not to think about coming back ... but it’s what I feel like right now.”

NASCAR BOBBY LABONTE LEAVES TRG MOTORSPORTS

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Former NASCAR champion Bobby Labonte terminated his contract with TRG Motorsports on Wednesday and quickly landed two part-time rides.

Robby Gordon said Labonte will drive his No. 7 Toyota this weekend in New Hampshire and then Phoenix Racing said Labonte will pilot the James Finch-owned car at Daytona and Chicago next month.

“When we found out that Bobby was available to drive for us, we jumped at it,” Gordon said. “To have a past champion driving your car is a good opportunity. I think we can learn from him this weekend and it will help our program moving forward.”

Labonte said he is exploring his opportunities for the remainder of this season in all three of NASCAR’s national series.

“I want to be in a position to win races and be competitive,” said Labonte, who had a season-high finish of 21st in 16 races with TRG. “I have worked as hard as possible to give my best at the track so far this season. I’m now looking to move on and get back into a position to win races.”

Labonte was the 2000 Cup Series champion. His last victory was in 2003 with Joe Gibbs Racing.

MLB MARLINS FIRE MANAGER GONZALEZ

BALTIMORE (AP) — The Florida Marlins have fired manager Fredi Gonzalez and named Edwin Rodriguez to replace him on an interim basis.

The team said in a statement Wednesday that it also dismissed bench coach Carlos Tosca and hitting coach Jim Presley.

Florida moved to 34-36 following Tuesday night’s win over the Orioles. Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria says he’s making the change because he believes the team can “do better and be better.”

Donovan magical for U.S. Goal in stoppage time lifts USA into knockout round

By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

PRETORIA, South Africa — Over and over, everything seemed to go against them.

A referee took away a win last week, and a linesman disallowed another goal Wednesday.

Now there was just 3 1/2 minutes left in their World Cup, just that much remaining until all the doubts about American soccer would rise again.

But then, in one of the most stunning turnarounds in World Cup history, Landon Donovan scored on a lightning fast counterattack 45 seconds into 4 minutes of injury time. With the most amazing late-game moment in American soccer, the United States beat Algeria 1-0 and reached the World Cup’s second round.

“This team embodies what the American spirit is about,” Donovan said.

“We had a goal disallowed the other night, We had another good goal disallowed tonight. But we just keep going. And I think that’s what people admire so much about Americans. And I’m damn proud.”

Former President Bill Clinton lingered in the locker room for 45 minutes after the game to congratulate the players.

When Donovan scored, raucous cheers erupted on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and even in White House auditoriums in Washington, D.C., according to e-mails sent to U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati.

“That’s probably going to capture more people’s attention than if we won the game 3-0 and it was easy,” American goalkeeper Tim Howard said. “That emotion, that passion is

John Isner takes a break durin g his epic men’s singles match against Nicolas Mahut of France, at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon, Wednesday.

WIMBLEDON, England — Even the scoreboard couldn’t keep up.

The electronic sign keeping track courtside as the points passed and the game totals rose went blank while 23rdseeded John Isner of Tampa, Fla., and qualifier Nicolas Mahut of France played — and played and played — the longest match in tennis history, until action was suspended because of darkness at 59-59 in the fifth set Wednesday night at Wimbledon.

“Nothing like this will ever happen again. Ever,” Isner said in a courtside TV interview.

The first-round match already had been suspended because of fading light Tuesday night after the fourth set.

They have been playing each other for exactly 10 hours — 7 hours, 6 minutes in the fifth set alone, enough to break the full-match record of 6:33, set at the 2004 French Open.

Never before in the history of Wimbledon, which first was contested in 1877, had any match — singles or doubles, men or women — lasted more than 112 games, a mark set in

1969. Isner and Mahut have played more games than that in their fifth set, without a victor, although the American came close: He had four match points but Mahut saved each one.

“He’s serving fantastic. I’m serving fantastic. That’s really all there is to it,” Isner said. “I’d like to see the stats and see what the ace count looks like for both of us.”

Well, here they are: Isner has 98 aces, Mahut 95 — both eclipsing the previous high in a match at any tournament, 78.

Taylor indicted on rape charges

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pro football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor was indicted Wednesday by a suburban New York grand jury on charges of thirddegree rape and patronizing a prostitute.

The indictment follows his May 6 arrest at a Holiday Inn in Ramapo, N.Y., where prosecutors say he paid a 16-year-old girl $300 to have sex with him.

Taylor had been charged previously in Ramapo Town Court, but the indictment transfers the case to Rockland County.

He is scheduled to appear July 13.

The former New York Giants linebacker also was indicted on charges of endangering the welfare of a child, and sexual abuse and criminal sexual act in the third degree.

He faces up to four years in prison if convicted. He has denied the charges.

Rockland County District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said the 16-yearold told investigators that she had been verbally threatened and physically assaulted by a pimp who drove her 26 miles north to the hotel where Taylor was waiting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the most effective ways to target prostitution is to go after the johns,â&#x20AC;? Zugibe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This indictment underscores our serious commitment to prosecuting those defendants who create a market for the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing sex trade.â&#x20AC;?

Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney reiterated his clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innocence Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Taylor and his legal team made a strategic decision not to present any evidence to the grand jury, including him testifying or any witnesses in his defense,â&#x20AC;? said defense attorney Arthur Aidala.

NBA DRAFT ROUNDUP Cavs trying to deal into draft CLEVELAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Cleveland Cavaliers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t currently have a coach, any draft picks or a clue if LeBron James is coming back.

But in this volatile summer, things are changing quickly.

The Cavs, who traded away their selections while chasing an NBA title, are trying to move back into Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft through a trade. The team has purchased secondround picks in each of the past two years, and could be positioning to do it again.

NBA Draft intrigue begins with No. 3 pick

By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Like a president-elect awaiting inauguration, John Wall is seemingly just biding his time until he can officially begin cleaning up Washington.

Life hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been so simple for DeMarcus Cousins, who has been crisscrossing the country battling Derrick Favors in hopes of getting picked soon after his college teammate.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a decidedly different draft process for the Kentucky freshmen, but Cousins thinks it will yield the same result once they become pros. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an incredible player, I believe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a pretty good player and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to play our roles,â&#x20AC;? Cousins said

Wednesday.

Though NBA rules prevent them from confirming it, the Wizards have been expected to take Wall from the moment they landed the No. 1 pick. They were in dire need of something good to happen after a disastrous season, and it did when they surprisingly won last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft lottery, which offered the All-American point guard as the top prize.

Wearing a cardigan sweater with a large â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on it, Wall appeared relaxed Wednesday when he met the media, but said that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entirely the case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited, but at the same time a little nervous,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any sleep tonight or tomorrow before the day starts.â&#x20AC;?

The Philadelphia 76ers

are likely to take national player of the year Evan Turner from Ohio State with the No. 2 pick.

Turner said he talked about the notoriously tough Philly fans with new coach and former Sixers guard Doug Collins and was told â&#x20AC;&#x153;as long as you play tough, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a competitor and play with passion, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll survive here.â&#x20AC;?

Then the confusion starts.

The New Jersey Nets, who had the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst record but missed out on a chance for Wall when they dropped to No. 3 in the lottery, were believed to be debating between Cousins or Favors, before speculation in the days leading up to the draft that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d turned their attention to Syracuse forward Wesley Johnson.

DALLAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Any day now, Dirk Nowitzki likely will join LeBron James as a former MVP on the free agent market.

The Dallas Mavericks are confident the greatest player in franchise history isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going anywhere. Then again, they also thought Steve Nash was going to stay the summer he signed with Phoenix.

So expect the Mavs to tread with caution during the NBA draft. While the club is looking into moving up from a lone pick at No. 50, it seems unlikely Dallas would make a blockbuster deal. The Mavericks need to keep their best trading chips so they can be ready for whatever happens in free agency â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from their dream of getting James to play alongside Nowitzki to their doomsday scenario of having to replace the big German.

Wizards hope to get more than a Wall in NBA draft WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Picking John Wall No. 1 is the obvious choice. Been that way since the Washington Wizards won the lottery last month.

But team president Ernie Grunfeld has nearly an entire roster to rebuild, so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent as much time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if not more â&#x20AC;&#x201D; focusing on what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do with his other selections Thursday night during

the NBA draft.

After choosing Kentucky point guard Wall â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a forgone conclusion that the Wizards arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to reveal until the pick is announced by commissioner David Stern â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Grunfeld will have the 30th and 35th picks at his disposal. He wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind using them to move higher in the first round.

Heat trade Cook to Thunder, clearing cap space MIAMI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Miami Heat wanted to clear more cap space for free agency.

The Oklahoma City Thunder wanted a shooter to boost their 3-point corps.

What might be a win-win was struck Wednesday.

The Heat traded shooting guard Daequan Cook and the No. 18 selection in Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft to the Thunder, in exchange for the No. 32 pick. Cook was due to make about $2.2 million next season, and Miami no longer has the $1.2 million in a salary-cap hold for what was its first-round selection.

So in short, the Heat found more money to spend when free agency opens July 1.

76ers eye Turner with 2nd pick PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Evan Turner posted messages on his Twitter feed about getting â&#x20AC;&#x153;propsâ&#x20AC;? from Philadelphia fans and eating at a famous cheesesteak shop while in town for his draft workout.

His message Thursday night could also have a Philly theme. The Philadelphia 76ers are expected to take the Ohio State shooting guard with the second overall pick in the draft. Team president Ed Stefanski says he knows who the team will pick, and Turner says he expects to be that player.

The Sixers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hiding their love for Turner. Search his name on the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, and the headline â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sixers Draft Evan Turnerâ&#x20AC;? is one of the clickable options.

what American sports fans thrive on.”

The United States won its first World Cup match in eight years and finished atop its firstround group for the first time since the original World Cup in 1930. With a quick turnaround, the Americans play Ghana on Saturday night in Rustenburg for a spot in the quarterfinals. Ghana won the final match of the opening round against the Americans to knock them out of the tournament in Germany four years ago.

All the numbers are truly astounding: There has been 881 points, 612 in the fifth set. Isner has compiled 218 winners, Mahut 217. Isner has only 44 unforced errors, Mahut 37.

And this cannot be emphasized enough: They are not finished.

No one won yet.

The match will continue, stretching into a third day.

“He’s just a champ.

We’re just fighting like we never did before,” Mahut said. “Someone has to win, so we’ll come back tomorrow and see who is going to win the match.”

Clint Dempsey appeared to score in the 21st minute off the rebound of Herculez Gomez’s shot.

But the goal was called offside.

Dempsey’s 12-yard shot off Jozy Altidore’s cross clanked off the far post in the 57th minute, and when the rebound came back to Dempsey, he put the follow shot wide to the near side.

“You shake it out of your head and keep on fighting,” Dempsey said.

Knowing England was ahead of Slovenia at the half, the U.S. put in offensive substitutes, first Benny Feilhaber at the start of the second half, then Edson Buddle in the

64th and finally DaMarcus Beasley in the 81st.

“The second half wasn’t a soccer game — it was more like ... a track meet. Back and forth, back and forth, both teams are so desperate,” Howard said.

Howard started the counter-attack that led to the goal when he knocked down an Algerian shot and rolled the ball to Donovan on the right flank. Donovan moved upfield and passed ahead to Jozy Altidore just inside the 18-yard box.

“Landon kind of knows me a little bit,” Howard said. “He breaks out when I get the ball and it’s kind of easy to find him.”

At 58-all, more than 6 1/2 hours into Wednesday’s action, both players took a bathroom break — and, frankly, who could blame them?

Not much later, shortly after 9 p.m., Mahut and Isner approached the net to discuss with a Grand Slam supervisor, Soeren Friemel, whether to keep going Wednesday.

“I want to play,” Mahut said, “but I can’t see.”

Fans began chanting, “We want more! We want more!” Then they proposed an idea to organizers, screaming in unison, “Centre Court!

Centre Court!” — the only stadium at the All England Club equipped with artificial lights, and therefore the only place play could continue at

that hour. When Friemel decided they would stop at that moment and resume Thursday, spectators saluted Isner and Mahut with a standing ovation.

“I have almost no words anymore watching this. It’s beyond anything I’ve ever seen and could imagine. I don’t know how their bodies must feel the next day, the next week, the next month. This is incredible tennis,” 16-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer said. “For them to serve the aces they served and stay there mentally is a heroic effort.

As we know, we have no draws in tennis, so there will be a loser. But I guess in this match, both will be winners because this is just absolutely amazing.”

“To score the goal that helps your team make history in the World Cup is unbelievable. He had a great shot and he made it. It’s awesome.”

Southern Lee soccer coach Jason Burman, who coached the Cavaliers to an undefeated regular season in 2009, could not believe it when he watched Donovan score the goal to help Team USA go from being eliminated in the World Cup to winning the group in a matter of seconds.

“It was unreal,” said Burman. “Landon Donovan has been the face of American soccer across the world and has been through a lot in his career. He’s gone through so much in his career. He’s gone through the Beckhamsaga in Los Angeles. He’s the team’s workhorse. That goal was definitely a great moment for Landon Donovan and for the United States.”

As soon as Donovan’s miraculous shot lifted Team USA to its first and biggest victory of the 2010 World Cup, Lee Christian soccer star Robert Sandidge, who will be playing collegiate soccer at Campbell in the fall, started thinking about Team USA’s chances of winning the entire tournament.

“I instantly thought that Team USA had a chance of winning the whole thing,” said Sandidge, who led the nation in goals with 63 in his lone season with the Falcons. “I immediately thought that they can win the World Cup. They played well overall and controlled much of that second half. It was an incredible goal.”

In the second game of Group C against Slovenia, the United States rallied from a 2-0 deficit to end the game in a draw at 2. A possible decisive third goal was taken away from the Americans, which would have won the match, on a

controversial foul call.

Earlier in the game against Algeria, the Americans had another goal disallowed when Clint Dempsey’s shot went past the Algeria goalkeeper in the first half. Dempsey was ruled offside by the officials, although replays showed that Dempsey was clearly onside.

“It was quite a game,” said Brower. “They scored once and it was taken away from there. Donovan started that play at the end and then finished it. During his postgame interview, Donovan said that he couldn’t miss that shot and he’s right.

That’s a shot that you can’t miss. How many opportunities do you get like that? It’s awesome.”

Team USA will play Ghana in the Round of 16 on Saturday. Ghana knocked Team USA out of the 2006 World Cup and is currently the only African nation remaining in the World Cup, which is being held in South Africa.

“Ghana’s going to have a big crowd behind them,” said Burman. “It should be a good game and it should be a close game. Ghana’s a tough squad and they’re going to have the crowd on their side. Both teams have something to prove.

It’s going to be a quick turnaround for both teams, though. I’m still expecting the same kind of excitement we had against Algeria.”

The United States outshot Algeria 21-19 and had eight shots on goal compared to just three for Algeria. If Team USA can make more shots against Ghana, Sandidge feels that Team USA can get the victory and move on to the round of eight.

“I think that if they can take advantage of their opportunities and not waste them, they’ll do well,” said Sandidge. “They had a lot of wasted opportunities against Algeria and it almost cost them everything.”

Burman thinks that it’s

going to take more than just getting out group play for this tournament to be considered a success to Team USA and its fans.

“I don’t think they’ll be satisfied just coming out of their group and advancing,” said Burman. “I think if they don’t make it to at least the final eight or the semifinal, it’ll be a disappointment. It’s not out of the realm of possibility for them to get there, either. They’ve been in every game so far and they’ve played the entire 90 minutes of every match. They’ve got all the pieces, they just need to get those pieces to play at their best at the same time. I think they can definitely get to the round of eight.”

The United States has never been truly recognized as a soccer nation. Although they still lurk, Burman, Brower and Sandidge all agree that it’s going to take a run to at least the semifinals to finally put the doubters to rest and prove that soccer can be successful in the country.

“I’ve had people that don’t normally talk to me about the game, tell me about soccer,” said Brower.

“I feel like this tournament is turning more people on to the game than ever before. It’s been 1930 since they’ve won their group and I think that’s bringing some excitement back to the game as well. It’s certainly not hurting the sport.”

Burman thinks that soccer is starting to grow on people and Team USA’s run through the World Cup could help draw a bigger audience to the sport.

“I think folks are starting to see that soccer is a game that has a lot of action and excitement in it,” said Burman. “There’s also bigtime players and a little bit of money. I don’t think the United States is anywhere near the other European countries as far as popularity and money, but it’s sneaking up on folks. The success of Team USA is only going to make it better.”

BRIDGE HAND

Would-be pilot maps cut life for himself and future family DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old boy who is trying to figure out my career. I’m with “Jen,” the girl of my dreams, and I intend on being with her forever. We plan to have kids in the future.

I want to be a pilot, and Jen wants to be a stay-at-home mom. I realize, though, that if I’m a pilot I won’t be home much, and I know that’s not good for a couple trying to start a family. All I ever dreamed about was becoming a pilot, and I don’t think I can give this up.

At the same time, my family comes first. How do I go about solving this problem?

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Mentally, physically and emotionally you can make your life better with a few minor adjustments this year. Your looks and attitude will bring you good fortune professionally and financially. A change at home will be favorable thanks to your outlook and how well you get along with a partner. The future looks bright if you make some overdue alterations. Your numbers are 2, 9, 14, 21, 27, 34, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Distance yourself from any personal problems you’ve been facing. Time and space will give you room to decipher what’s actually going on and what you can do to alleviate stress. An opportunity to make more money may be possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Speak passionately about your dreams, hopes, wishes and expectations.

You may not like the response you get. That will be your indicator to make a move or take a pass.

You’ve got lots to offer; you just have to find the right fit.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t fall for emotional manipulation. If you don’t like something, speak up regardless of the consequences. An idea you have can turn into a moneymaker. Refuse to take on a burden that doesn’t belong to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Get involved in activities, projects or groups that allow you to use your creativity and express your opinions and ideas.

A change regarding your profession may be enticing but is probably not what you need to make your life better.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Putting blame on someone or complaining won’t fix matters. Sort through whatever is going on around you and you will be the one everyone looks up to, confides in and listens to.

Love is in the stars.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): You can accomplish

WORD JUMBLE

a great deal if you don’t overload your plate.

Consistency, practicality and hard work will play an important role in the results you get personally and financially. A romantic commitment will alter your future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will be better off spending time with colleagues or peers who understand and respect what you are working toward. Personal relationships will be difficult, especially if you’re saddled with responsibilities that don’t belong to you. A new friendship will inspire and motivate you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Finish what you start if you want to be taken seriously. Avoid making last-minute changes. Less will be more if done well.

Trust in your talent and skills.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Money is heading your way and legal and financial concerns can be taken care of if you stick to your original strategy and maintain consistency.

Travel plans may result in delays, problems with authority or confusion concerning directions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Avoid dealing with indecisive people.

Approach only those who instantly see what you are doing and want to join in.

You have the energy, knowledge and the determination to accomplish whatever you set your mind to.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Look within and you will find the answers you are searching for. It’s up to you to make whatever changes are required to improve your lifestyle.

Show strength and determination and do not allow emotional relationships to delegate your path.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You cannot let anyone bully you or push you in a direction that you don’t feel good about. Problems with co-workers and family members will develop but, before you react, calm down and think about what you want to accomplish.

DEAR PLANNING AHEAD: You appear to be a young man with his feet on the ground. What you’re not taking into consideration is that there are many happily married pilots who enjoy flourishing family lives as well as careers. Do some more research about the various kinds of jobs that are offered in the aviation industry, and you may be pleased to find that you, too, can have both. And keep in mind that your ambitions may change as you get older. o DEAR ABBY: My 73-year-old mother took it upon herself to go to a senior center and learn how

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been married five years and have a beautiful 4-year-old daughter. Two years ago, my wife cheated on three different occasions with three different men. Each time she admitted her infidelity to me the following day.

I was heartbroken. I have fallen out of love with her and no longer find her attractive. I didn’t leave immediately because I didn’t want our daughter to be raised in a broken home.

Also, my wife didn’t have a job. I thought I could forgive her and get over it, but I can’t and don’t think I ever will.

Should I leave her or stay in a marriage where I feel I am being unfair to myself and that I deserve better? Please advise.

— BETRAYED IN KANSAS DEAR BETRAYED: I’m sorry your wife cheated on you -- three times, yet. But if you have to ask me for permission to leave her, the answer is no. You’ll know the time is right when you are ready to take the responsibility for that decision all by yourself.

ODDS AND ENDS $75M mansion near Orlando selling ’as is’ WINDERMERE, Fla. (AP) — Listed as a “monument to unparalleled success,” the largest home for sale in the United States comes with plenty of space but no carpet, tiles or interior walls. It’s up to the future buyer to finish it.

The mansion started by timeshare tycoon David Siegel boasts plenty of big numbers: 90,000 square feet. Twentythree bathrooms. Thirteen bedrooms. Ten kitchens. A 20-car garage, with additional space for two limos. Three pools. A bowling alley. Indoor roller rink. Two-story movie theater. Video arcade. Fitness center. Baseball field and two tennis courts.

All that and more for $75 million “as is.” There’s an option to buy it completed for $100 million.

Nicknamed “Versailles” for the French royal palace that inspired it, the edifice hit the market recently. Construction was halted last year to save money in a recession that proved particularly hard on Siegel’s once-booming industry.

“This mansion is a great anecdote of the overconsumption that led to the housing bust, and it might be the poster child of such overindulgence,” said Jack McCabe, a Florida-based real estate analyst.

The unfinished palace at 6121 Kirkstone Lane makes Tiger Woods’ place just down the street in this gated Orlando suburb look more like a guest house.

It has the square footage of nearly two football fields, is almost double the White House and about 36 times the size of the average American family home. The master bedroom alone, which would have

SUDOKU

MY ANSWER had a rotating bed under a skylight, is twice the size of a standard house.

“It’s like a living piece of art,” said Lorraine Barrett, a Coldwell Banker real estate agent who has the listing.

At least it will be upon completion.

Instead of stonewalled gates, a chainlink fence with a green covering keeps onlookers out of the 10-acre property. The driveway is overrun with dirt and rocks.

Weeds fill the planned baseball field.

The home opens into a grand hall with symmetrical staircases and a ceiling complete with a stained-glass dome befitting a cathedral. The rest of the mansion is more an outline — only steel beams, insulation and most of the electrical wiring are in place. The two elevator shafts are empty.

Arizona restaurant serving lion meat burgers PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona restaurant owner dreamed up a novelty meal to give customers a South African experience during the World Cup. But serving burgers made with African lion meat has generated protests.

Cameron Selogie says his Il Vinaio restaurant in Mesa has received a bomb threat and more than 150 e-mails from protesters. He says African lions are on the protected list, but not endangered.

The restaurant ordered 10 pounds of African lion meat from a USDA-regulated, free-range farm in Illinois, which Selogie says he researched to make sure they were humane. It’s mixed with ground beef, and the restaurant says it’s serving about 15 burgers a day.

Share what Christ has done for you Q: A friend of mine claims to be interested in Christianity, but whenever I answer one of his questions, he just comes up with another question. Do you think he’s sincere, or am I wasting my time trying to talk to him about Jesus?

-- D.N. A: I don’t know if he’s sincere or not; he may not even know himself. Sadly, some people today are like the ancient Athenians Paul met, who “spent their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas” (Acts 17:21).

But even if your friend isn’t sincere -- or even if he only sees God as an interesting topic rather than the divine and holy Creator of the universe -- I still encourage you to share your faith in Christ with him. After all, God loves him just as much as He loves you -- and God is able to break through the shells of indifference and rebellion that people erect around their souls. Pray for him, that God’s Spirit will open his eyes to the truth -- both about himself and about Christ.

Let me urge you also to share with him what Jesus Christ has done for you. You may not be able to answer all his questions -- but he can’t deny the reality of what Christ has done in your life. And if you find this is hard to do, perhaps God is speaking to you about your own need to walk more closely with Him every day.

In addition, ask God to give you the boldness to ask your friend if he’s ever faced his own need of God. He may believe he’s self-sufficient and doesn’t need Christ -- but he does.
