et ready, “Twilight” fanatics. It’s only been seven months since “New Moon” hit theaters, but the vampires and werewolves of Forks, Wash., are already heading back to the big screen. “Eclipse,” the third installment in the successful supernatural franchise, will be released at midnight tonight.

Based on the popular young adult book series by Stephenie Meyer, the “Twilight” films tell the story of a human high school girl who falls in love with a vampire. If the turnout for the “New Moon” premiere is any indication, the “Eclipse” midnight screening should be a success for Sanford’s Spring Lane Cinemas. “‘New Moon’ was definitely the biggest midnight screening we’ve ever had,” said Ben Johnson, assistant manager at Spring Lane Cinemas. “So we’re expecting this one to be just as big, if not bigger.” The first “Twilight” book was published in 2005 and has since spiraled into a global literary phenomenon. The books have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. “It’s sort of like lightening striking twice,” said Jennifer Gillis, youth services librarian

SANFORD — Lee County Board of Commissioners hopeful Kenneth Cole says he will address lingering questions today about the legality of his bid for elected office. Cole, who on Thursday is set to take over full-time duties as town manager in the Harnett County municipality of Coats, said questions have persisted about whether state statutes bar him from holding an elected office while maintaining town manager duties elsewhere. The Democratic nominee for a Lee County commissioners seat promised to issue a statement at 8 a.m. today concerning his candidacy. Cole, a Sanford resident, would not comment Monday on whether or not he will stay in the race to replace outgoing Lee commissioner Jamie Kelly in the District 4 seat. “I have not done anything unethical,” Cole said. The Democratic nominee, who is set to face GOP candidate Jim Womack in November, learned this month that officials in Coats had tapped him to become manager with a $58,000 annual salary in the small, Harnett County town. Reached Monday, Cole said he has already begun part-time work as manager in Coats. Cole dismissed concerns earlier this month that serving as the top administrator in Coats would be a conflict if he is elected to the Lee County Board of Commissioners. State statutes read that a city manager position “may be held concurrently with other appointive (but not elective)

Almanac Today is Tuesday, June 29, the 180th day of 2010. There are 185 days left in the year. This day in history: On June 29, 1910, composer-lyricist Frank Loesser (LEH’-suhr), who wrote the songs for such Broadway musicals as “Guys and Dolls,” ‘’The Most Happy Fella” and “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” was born in New York. In 1776, the Virginia state constitution was adopted, and Patrick Henry was made governor. In 1946, authorities in British-ruled Palestine arrested more than 2,700 Jews in an attempt to stamp out extremists. In 1966, the United States bombed fuel storage facilities near the North Vietnamese cities of Hanoi and Haiphong. In 1967, Jerusalem was re-unified as Israel removed barricades separating the Old City from the Israeli sector. In 1970, the United States ended a twomonth military offensive into Cambodia. In 1972, the Supreme Court ruled the death penalty as it was being meted out could constitute “cruel and unusual punishment.” (The ruling prompted states to revise their capital punishment laws.) In 1988, the Supreme Court upheld the independent counsel law. In 1995, a department store in Seoul, South Korea, collapsed, killing at least 500 people. Actress Lana Turner died in Century City, Calif. at age 74. In 2003, actress Katharine Hepburn died in Old Saybrook, Conn., at age 96.

CHATHAM COUNTY

Chatham raises tax rate 3 percent: Hike goes to schools

PITTSBORO (MCT) — The Chatham County Board of Commissioners approved an $84.4 million county budget last week that raises the county property tax rate 3 percent. The commissioners cut the county manager’s proposed tax increase by more than a half a penny. To help fund schools and the opening of new facilities the board approved a tax rate of 62.19 cents per $100 of assessed property value, a 1.97 cent increase. The tax increase 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 appropriation for non-school county operations, other than personnel, by 4.4 percent. 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, county officials said in a release. “Schools are always a top priority, along with economic development,” said commissioners Chairwoman 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.” — The Cary News

MOORE COUNTY

Police seek suspect of several car thefts SOUTHERN PINES — Police are seeking leads after locals reported several thefts from their vehicles late Sunday and early Monday. Authorities say a suspect or suspects made off with compact discs and DVD players from unlocked vehicles in the Sandhurst neighborhood of Southern Pines. Police say thefts were reported on Tingley Court, West Hedgelawn Way, Canterbury Road, Fox Hunt Lane and Cliff Court. In each incident, vehicle doors were unlocked at the time of the thefts. One local reported spotting a suspect in their car at 3 a.m. Monday and fleeing in a waiting vehicle, Southern Pines police say. To report information on the crimes, contact Southern Pines police at (910) 692-7031. Police are warning residents to remember to lock their vehicles and hide valuables if they must be left in a car. — Billy Ball

MOORE COUNTY

Some in Seven Lakes want to become a town FAYETTEVILLE (MCT) — As it is now, Seven Lakes is a collection of three gated communities and a business district, each with its own autonomy but no real authority. Taken together, Seven Lakes would have about 5,300 residents — beating out Aberdeen as the third-largest town in Moore County — and a seat at the table when it comes to decisions about zoning, funding and county politics. “It’s our last best chance to control our destiny,” said Randy Merritt, owner of the Seven Lakes Friendly Mart. Merritt is the head of one of two groups pushing to incorporate the community into an autonomous town — one with its own government, zoning ordinances and police force.

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

Golf can be a draw for Lee County Our View Issue: Two of Sanford’s golf courses gained national attention last week

Our stance: The area could be considered a golfing hotbed and attract tourists from all over the world

We make it a habit to not express our opinions in our reporting. But you don’t have to look too deep into Sunday’s report on Sanford’s golfing “hotbed” and the area’s attempt to put tourism on the frontburner to see where we were getting at — if the area is going to create a tourism authority or department of any kind, golf needs to be the “main attraction.” We’re not saying that’s all Sanford is — we’ve got a top-notch theater, improving downtown area, well-attended pottery festival, potential state park and future greenway trail for starters — but golf comes ready-made. We’re not quite Pinehurst or Southern Pines, but the golfing Sanford has to offer

is nationally recognized and, like the theater, top-notch. We base this opinion on recent news that for the second straight time, Tobacco Road golf course has been named one of the nation’s toughest courses by Golf Digest, perhaps the one authority most golfers trust over all else. And recently, one of the two private courses tucked away at Carolina Trace was named one of the nation’s Dream 18 residential golf holes by a national magazine known for this annual list. Within a month, two of the county’s courses were rated among the nation’s best. Toss in two very formidable courses in Quail Ridge and the city’s municipal course

— both of which don’t require breaking the bank to get in 18 solid, challenging holes — and Carolina Lakes, the Harnett course with a Sanford address, and there’s the beginnings of your annual tourism “pamphlet” right there. We hope whatever becomes of “tourism” here, our local officials and business leaders pound out a partnership with the courses and come up with a plan that’s a winwin for all involved. People who say Sanford doesn’t have enough to offer to get into the tourism industry are wrong. Our area has much to be proud of ... and we can be a tourist destination with a little imagination and a lot of work.

Letters to the Editor Refreshing to read about Sanford’s golfing To the Editor: I loved the tone of the Sunday article, “The Strongest Links,” which covered a variety of strong local golf attractions with national recognition. I also liked the pictures and the positive emphasis for Lee County — including some in-depth interviewing and the very positive points of view of opportunities here. How nice to read comments of Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce President Bob Joyce, as well as Joe Gay of Tobacco Road and Mike Krick of Carolina Trace. Mr. Joyce was quoted as saying, “Now it’s the county’s job to harness that success and get those visitors into hotels, local shops and other locations.” How nice to read! JOHN ALTENBURGER Sanford

Local animal abuse laws need to be more severe

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

The promise of early college

rom their own accounts, kids drop out of school for many different reasons. Besides the obvious — poverty and lack of educational attainment by parents — surveys show that most dropouts cite a lack of motivation and a lack of expectations. Roughly 30 percent of North Carolina teens leave school without ever graduating. In 2009, North Carolina reported a graduation rate of 71.7 percent. That number was better than in previous years, but the graduation rate really hasn’t changed a whole lot during the last couple of decades. The needle hasn’t moved despite hundreds of millions of dollars poured into early childhood education and efforts to hold schools more accountable for academic achievement. Short of mandating that 17- and 18-year olds attend school — which really wouldn’t accomplish much except putting uninterested kids in classroom seats — no one solution will ever solve the dropout problem. Still, pouring over those student surveys or talking to kids and teachers, it becomes obvious that many at-risk students simply fail to see the relevance of classroom instruction to their economic futures. They fail to connect the dots between education and job. Earlier this decade, though, North Carolina began an effort that’s providing some needed relevance. Legislation passed in 2003, along with a boost from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, helped local school systems establish what are called early college high schools. The schools, most of them operated on community college campuses, allow students to earn a fouryear high school degree and a two-year associates or technical degree in five years, all of them tuition free. The schools focus on career-related areas of specialty and are aimed at firstgeneration college hopefuls. Besides earning associate degrees at community colleges, some students take those college credits and head to four-year colleges. Today, 70 of the schools operate in the state. The 15 schools that have existed long enough to have a four-year cohort of graduates report a graduation rate of 91.7 percent. ... Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton, who while in the state Senate sponsored the 2003 bill that began the schools, said the students who enroll are looking for the motivation that a real-world, job-focused education provides. “They eat it up,” he said. “They see a relevance to an early college.” The relevance comes, in part, by partnering with industry. An early college in Wake County partners with Wake Medical Center, with students gaining exposure to health care-related jobs. Dalton also heads something called the Joining Our Businesses and Schools, or JOBS, Commission, which is promoting more of the partnerships with business. ... The 70 schools may just be a start, but they’re accomplishing something that traditional middle and high schools have struggled with. They’re connecting the dots.

Leave it to the Afghans

he good news? Nobody has to pretend anymore that Gen. Stanley McChrystal knew how to fix Afghanistan within a year. The bad news? Now we’re supposed to pretend that Gen. David Petraeus does. President Obama was absolutely right to sack the preening McChrystal, whose inner circle, as portrayed in Rolling Stone magazine, had all the seriousness and decorum of a frat house keg party. And it was a brilliant political move to turn to Petraeus, who is made of purest Teflon. Critics who might have been tempted to blast the president for changing horses in midstream can hardly object when he has given the reins to the man who averted a humiliating U.S. defeat in Iraq. Note, however, that I didn’t credit Petraeus with “winning” in Iraq. He didn’t. What he managed to do was redeem the situation to the point where the United States could begin bringing home its combat troops. If the Obama administration’s aims in Afghanistan are recalibrated to accommodate objective reality, then Petraeus can succeed there, too. But this means that the general’s assignment should be a narrow one: Lay the groundwork for a U.S. withdrawal to begin next summer, as Obama has pledged. After relieving McChrystal of his command Wednesday, Obama called in his national security team and read the riot act. No more bickering, sniping, backbiting or name-calling, the president ordered. Play nice. But all the comity in the world doesn’t resolve the essential tension between those who believe our goal in Afghanistan should be defined as “victory” and those who believe it should be defined as “finding the exit.” Two thousand years of history are on the side of the “exit” camp, and the fact is that at some point we’re going to leave. The question is how much time will pass — and how many more young Americans will be killed or wounded — before that inevitable day comes. McChrystal, who designed the counterinsurgency strategy being attempted in Afghanistan, didn’t disguise his opposition to administration officials such as Vice President Biden, Ambassador Karl Eikenberry and special envoy Richard Holbrooke, who questioned whether the strategy could work. Petraeus is far too good a politician to fall into that trap. He won’t allow any daylight between himself and the civilian leadership. But ultimately, there’s going to be no way to avoid the central question: What kind of Afghanistan will we leave behind? One answer would be that we have to leave in place a durable, functional central government that has full legitimacy and control within the nation’s borders. This would provide the United States with a reliable ally in a dangerous region, and also ensure that Afghanistan would never again be used as a launching pad for attacks by al-Qaeda. But

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

to get the country to that point, given where it is now, could take a decade or more of sustained, concentrated attention. It would mean not just defeating the Taliban but molding the regime of Afghan president Hamid Karzai into a reasonably honest, effective government. This would be a tall order even if Karzai were a stable, consistent, loyal partner. Does anybody believe that’s what he is? A better answer would be that it’s enough to leave behind an Afghanistan that no longer poses a serious threat to the United States or its vital interests. Nation-building would be the Afghans’ problem, not ours. Petraeus was successful in Iraq because he realized that he couldn’t create an Athenian democracy in Baghdad. But the highly imperfect Iraqi government is light-years beyond what the general is likely to be able to achieve in Kabul. Even after the war, Iraq was left with modern infrastructure, a highly educated and sophisticated population, and a sizable percentage of the world’s proven oil reserves. Afghanistan has none of these advantages. The political culture is stubbornly medieval; the populace is poor, uneducated and wary of foreign influences. Afghanistan does have great mineral wealth, apparently, but no mining industry to dig it out and no railroads to get it to the marketplace. In recent testimony before Congress, Petraeus was less than definitive when asked about Obama’s July 2011 deadline. Because he has such credibility and standing in Washington, his view on when we can begin to leave Afghanistan will be more important than McChrystal’s ever was. I hope that by putting Petraeus in charge of the war, President Obama hasn’t consigned us to a longer stay. His comments Thursday seem to indicate this possibility.

Today’s Prayer I will always thank the Lord; I will never stop praising him. (Psalm 34:1 TEV) PRAYER: Dear God, when everyday life becomes hectic and things seem to go wrong, help us take a moment to reflect on the many blessings You have given us and to offer our thanks. Amen.

To the Editor: I’ve written many a letter about Lee County and stray dogs and cats, but as always, it falls on deaf ears. The animal control of Lee County and the health department are complete jokes. The only thing a resident can do is vote out all the idiots who hold public office and get some folks in there who want to change things for the better. I’m not shocked Lee County uses gas to kill animals — just like I’m not shocked they will continue to do it. It’s time for people to be responsible for pets they have and get them spayed or neutered as a mandatory law. In rural Lee County, you can’t go a day without seeing roaming dogs or cats. It’s pathetic. The other day, I actually saw a Chihuahua tied to a tree outside of a house in 100-degree weather. I made some phone calls, but did anyone do anything bout it? Of course not. The fines need to be bigger, and we better get laws that include jail time to people who don’t take care of their pets. Until the fear of going to jail is instilled in folks, nothing will change. RON LAWS Lemon Springs

Local animal abuse laws need to be more severe To the Editor: My wife, Helen, and I would like to thank the Carolina Trace Fire Department and the Lemon Springs Fire Department for their prompt response to our neighbors house fire. Without their professional work, our house would have caught fire. So a big thank you to these firemen. Job well done! JAMES FLEMING Sanford

Lawmakers wrap up last budget details

RALEIGH (AP) — Democratic budget-writers said Monday their nearly $19 billion final budget for state government negotiated over the past three weeks will hurt some programs but should go a long way toward preserving school teacher and university faculty positions. House and Senate leaders, along with Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office, worked out the last details after

agreeing in principal to the plan over the weekend by deciding how to eliminate a $519 million gap if extra Medicaid money doesn’t arrive from Congress. The final agreement gave both chambers and Perdue a little of what each of them wanted on public education. Perdue received an extra $10 million to extend a program where teachers use hand-held computers

to keep better tabs of students at risk of failure. The Senate was able to reduce the scope of spending cuts in the University of North Carolina system budget, while the House kept in the budget a plan to shift unencumbered lottery funds for this coming year to help preserve classroom jobs. “There’s not enough money for anyone down here to be proud of,” said

Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe. If lawmakers had allowed additional job reductions in public education this coming year, more people would have left the teaching industry and created a long-term problems with attracting people to the profession, Nesbitt said: “You will create a 10-year program that you’ve got to overcome.”

Milk

The bill has received backlash from those who feel it is an attempt at government micromanagment. Conservative grassroots political Americans for Prosperity sent an automated call to thousands of Lee County homes this weekend, urging citizens to call Love and ask him to vote against the bill—because “parents should decide what to feed their child, not the government.” Many local child care centers say the bill would not make much difference in their daily operations. At Jonesboro Child Care Center, chocolate milk is a once-a-week

treat that children look forward to. At Sanford Child Care, chocolate milk is never served. “We’re already following a lot of the guidelines, so it wouldn’t be a big change for us,” Childcare Network Director Donna Bush said. Many centers already follow government guidelines in order to get government reimbursement for some food costs. Childcare Network even has an employee devoted to creating menus that ensure the centers follow the rules, Bush said. While neutral on whether the bill passes,

Lee County Partnership for Children executive director Lyn Hankins pointed to the high childhood obesity numbers . “Sugar has long been notorious for being too much in processed foods, so if we can cut back on the amount we feed that to children, that’s a good thing,” Hankins said. In her 38 years of child care, Godfrey has seen an intensified focus on child nutrition in the past ten years. It’s all a matter of balance, she said. “I’m just trying to keep my babies happy,” Godfrey said.

unexpected surge in population reported in the 2010 census. The town’s population was counted at 1,845 in the 2000 federal census. Cole said Monday that he is familiar with the state law in question, and that he has “looked into the statutes a little deeper” since concerns were raised. Lee County Board of Elections Director Nancy Kimble acknowledged that there were questions of late as to whether Cole would remove his name from candidacy for the Lee Board of Commissioners, although she said Cole had not done so as of Monday. N.C. State Board of Elections Deputy Director Johnnie McLean said she was still learning the specifications of the relatively obscure state stat-

ute Monday, adding that there was some murkiness in the language. “There are a lot of ‘ifs,’” McLean said. County attorney Kenneth Hoyle said Democrats would have to select a replacement for Cole if he opts to drop out of the race. Hoyle said state laws would require that a replacement would have to be certified by Democrats at least 75 days before the Nov. 2 general election. Lee County Democratic Party Chairman Ty Stumpf said it will be up to Cole to decide his next steps if he learns he cannot serve as Coats manager and Lee County commissioner at the same time. Stumpf said Monday that local Democrats don’t expect to have to replace Cole, but the

party is prepared for that contingency if need be. “Kenny is a wonderful candidate to have and we certainly don’t want to lose him,” Stumpf said. “But if we do, there’s a process in place.” Womack, meanwhile, said Cole is setting himself up for an “inherent conflict of interest” if he was to hold both positions, arguing that Cole would be in a bind if he received information from either Harnett or Lee counties on a possible industry expansion or relocation. The two adjoining counties could be competing for that particular expansion or relocation, Womack said. “If it were me, I would withdraw from the county commissioner race for the paying job, but that’s me,” he said.

The bill was set for a final vote Monday evening. “It wouldn’t necessarily hurt us—chocolate milk actually costs a little bit more than regular— but the kids would be disappointed,” Jonesboro Child Care Center director Robin Godfrey said. Rep. Jimmy Love (D-Lee) voted in favor of the bill’s second draft on June 24. Love could not be reached for comment Monday afternoon.

offices.” The manager spot is an appointed job, but a seat on the Board of Commissioners would be elective. However, the statute goes on to say that a manager can hold elective office if the population in the city offering the manager’s spot does not exceed 3,000, and if the elected seat is in a city other than the one employing the individual as manager. Cole appears to meet the second criteria and a 2008 U.S. Census estimate of Coats’ population pegs the tally at 2,134, indicating the Democratic nominee may be free to seek the county seat barring an

STATE BRIEFS House gives initial OK to eminent domain change RALEIGH (AP) — The House wants to give North Carolina voters a chance to make clear the state constitution bars land condemnation solely for private economic development. The House tentatively voted Monday night in favor of the proposed constitutional amendment that is partially in response to a 2005 U.S. Supreme Court decision. The amendment going before voters in November 2012 also would emboss in the constitution the right of a landowner whose land is condemned to receive a jury trial to determine what is just compensation. A similar bill was approved in 2007 after passionate debate. This year’s bill received little discussion before getting initial approval by a vote of 100-14. A final House vote was expected Tuesday. It would still have to be approved by the Senate.

Billboard erected by atheists vandalized RALEIGH (AP) — A billboard with the words “One Nation Indivisible” placed by a coalition of North Carolina atheists and agnostics has been vandalized. WCNC-TV in Charlotte reported the sign on the Billy Graham Parkway in Charlotte that displays an American flag behind the words has been defaced. Investigators think the words “Under God” were added late Friday night or early Saturday morning. Several billboards have been put up by the North Carolina Secular Association as a July Fourth project. The group intentionally left out the words “Under God,” which were added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954. The group wanted to show nonreligious people are patriotic. Charlotte spokesman William Warren says the group has filed a police report and says the billboard will be replaced.

GOP’s Fetzer alleges election leaders on probe RALEIGH (AP) — The North Carolina Republican Party chairman wants top leaders of the State Board of Elections to resign after he alleged they attempted to obstruct its investigation into unreported campaign flights by Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue’s campaign. GOP Chairman Tom Fetzer held a news conference on Monday to make accusations against board chairman Larry Leake and executive director Gary Bartlett for their roles in the probe that examined flights by gubernatorial candidates during 2004 and 2008.

Man accused of posing as Marine in court WILMINGTON (AP) — A 67-year-old North Carolina man charged with posing as a highly decorated Marine colonel at a ceremony has made his first court appearance. The Daily News of Jacksonville reported that Michael Hamilton of Richlands made his appearance Monday in federal court in Wilmington. He is charged with wearing a Marine colonel’s uniform and three counts of wearing unauthorized medals. His lawyer says Hamilton is mentally competent. Hamilton was photographed wearing the uniform and medals during a ceremony in April. It is a federal offense to claim or wear military decorations and is punishable by up to a year in prison and a fine.

US Air flight has emergency landing at Charlotte airport CHARLOTTE (AP) — A US Airways flight has made a safe emergency landing at a North Carolina airport after one of its tires blew out on takeoff. Multiple media outlets reported that authorities said the flight from Charlotte to Mobile, Ala., circled the airport after taking off Monday morning, then landed smoothly. Officials say the plane stopped in the middle of the runway because of the damaged tire and the 46 passengers on board were brought back to the terminal by bus.

Immigrant on hunger strike hospitalized, released

RALEIGH (AP) — A woman living in the U.S. illegally was briefly hospitalized after a heat stroke during a hunger strike outside a North Carolina senator’s office. A spokesman for the hunger strikers says 22-year-old Loida Silva was resting at home Monday after she was treated at a hospital the night before. Silva had been camped out since June 14 with two other women near the local office of Democratic U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan. They want Hagan to support federal legislation called the DREAM Act that would give some undocumented immigrants permanent residency by attending college or serving in the military. The women came to North Carolina as children. They say their status gives them little hope of improving their lives.

Police: 1 killed, 2 injured in shooting DURHAM (AP) — Police in North Carolina say one man has been killed and two men have been hurt in an early-morning shooting at an apartment complex. Durham police spokeswoman Kammie Michael said Monday authorities haven’t released the victims’ names. She says one man died, while one man suffered serious injuries and another suffered injuries that don’t appear to be life-threatening. They were taken to Duke University Hospital. Police officers were patrolling near the apartments when they heard several gunshots shortly after 3 a.m.

Senate hopefuls misleading when it comes to spending

No-kill shelter must comply with orders or shut down

By MIKE BAKER Associated Press Writer

WILMINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s candidates for U.S. Senate to lead voters away from the truth. In their first joint appearance of the election season over the weekend, Republican Sen. Richard Burr and Democratic challenger Elaine Marshall tried out some of the early rhetoric theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use to win support from voters in November. To start, they portrayed themselves as champions of the average voter, with Burr touting his fundraising numbers and Marshall trumpeting her work on fundraising laws. Their comments at the Wilmington event, however, were deceiving. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a look at their statements and how they match up with the facts:

BURR: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of the fact that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very successful. And the majority, over 75 percent of my money, has come from individuals.â&#x20AC;? THE FACTS: Burr has a massive fundraising lead over Marshall, having saved up some $5 million for his re-election bid. But the GOP lawmakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim that more than 75 percent came from individuals is mis-

at the Lee County Library. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Harry Potter.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; No one could have ever predicted it would be such a phenomenon.â&#x20AC;? The books are so popular Gillis said the library almost never has them checked in. She said if she sets out a copy in the morning, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone within hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever there is a movie that comes out based on something really popular, everyone goes back and reads the books,â&#x20AC;? Gillis said. Though the first two film adaptations were critically panned, fans have flocked to the theater in droves to see Bella Swan, Edward Cullen and Jacob Black come to life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Moonâ&#x20AC;? grossed

MARSHALL: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I took on lobbying reform, it was to challenge the special interests and to try and take the influence of money out of the political process. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a very good job of restricting things in North Carolina.â&#x20AC;? THE FACTS: Marshall was a major player in creating laws that prohibited lobbyists from donating to some campaigns in the state. If Marshall were running for re-election as secretary of state, for example, lobbyist contributions to her campaign would be illegal. But as a candidate for federal office, Marshall has been unapologetic about taking money from the same lobbyists that she still regulates as secretary of state. At least five lobbyists have contributed a total of $2,500 to her campaign â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a small fraction of Marshallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total donations but a test to her anti-lobbyist rhetoric nonetheless. Marshall has argued that the donations came from lobbyists who are longtime friends â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a defense that seems to contradict a message Marshall pushed on Saturday in which she argued that oil spill regulators have been too cozy with the people they oversee.

leading, if not false. Just 62 percent of the money Burr has officially reported so far in this election cycle has come from individual donors. More than $2 million of his money has come from the political action committees of interest groups and businesses, such as insurer Blue Cross Blue Shield, drug company Pfizer and maligned oil company BP. Burrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising also relies more on money from interest groups than many of his counterparts in Congress. The 24 senators running for re-election average about 72 percent from individuals, according to numbers compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. Burrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign said Monday that the lawmaker was referring to the 75 percent he has raised from individuals in the current fundraising quarter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; money which hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet been reported to the Federal Election Commission. Campaign spokeswoman Samantha Smith said 77 percent of the $1.69 million raised so far in this quarter has come from individuals. Adding those numbers to Burrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign total would bring the share from individuals to 64 percent.

more than $142 million in its first weekend alone and broke the record for highest opening day gross of all time with more than $72 million. Johnson said in his experience, fans arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shy about showing their love for the series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Harry Potterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; where you get people in costumes and T-shirts,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always excited and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really fun.â&#x20AC;? To accommodate the

crowds, Spring Lane Cinemas will show the midnight premiere of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eclipseâ&#x20AC;? on multiple screens. As of Monday afternoon, two screens had already sold out. Johnson said fans should arrive early if they want a good seat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(For â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;New Moonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;), an hour early was when people started trickling in, but by 30 minutes ahead of time it was crazy,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twilightâ&#x20AC;? fanbase

or give them to other rescue organizations or shelters to place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I would say is that we have worked with them for a long time, trying to bring them into compliance, urging them into compliance,â&#x20AC;? Hunter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here for four years, and it just hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t occurred yet. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to encourage them to come into compliance.â&#x20AC;? If The Haven doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet the state deadlines, authorities say they could dissolve the shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nonprofit status, which would mean Spear couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept charitable donations. Or they have told her that she would have to resign as director and a new governing board would be named. She would be required to lease the property to the new board for $1 a year. Spear said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accustomed to such threats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kill 300 dogs and you get a license. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting perversion of the Animal Welfare Act.â&#x20AC;? Spear said she is asking other rescue groups to help her find homes for at least 300 dogs. But one of the groups, the Humane Society of the United States, said Spear didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond to its offer to help. Kim Alboum, the North Carolina state director for the HSUS, said the group offered to take a large number of dogs from The Haven and find them homes but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear back from Spear.

RAEFORD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The woman who owns one of the largest nokill animal shelters in North Carolina must reduce the number of dogs there by half and meet other state requirements or face the possibility of losing the shelter. The Fayetteville Observer reported that state animal welfare officials have issued an ultimatum to Linden Spear, director and founder of The Haven in Hoke County. More than 1,000 cats and dogs typically live at the no-kill shelter located on 140 acres just outside Raeford. Over the years, officials with the state Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services have asked Spear to upgrade the shelter, including adding kennels and replacing the grass and wood with more sanitary impermeable surfaces such as concrete and gravel. Spear said she has complied when she can, but, as the state has noted, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also continued to take in more dogs and cats. Now the state Justice Department has given her until July 9 to reduce the number of dogs by half and to come into full compliance by Sept. 1. Spear says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to find homes for the dogs, although some groups say sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rejected their efforts to help. Dr. Lee Hunter, director of the Animal Welfare Section, said state officials are not asking Spear to euthanize some of the animals. Instead, she can adopt them out

is dominated by women, but Gillis said much like with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harry Potter,â&#x20AC;? she has seen people of all ages respond to the series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been amazed at how many people, from elementary school to older women, love the books,â&#x20AC;? Gillis said. For the midnight showing of last summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,â&#x20AC;? Spring Lane Cinemas had a live owl display to entertain fans while

they waited in line. Johnson said the theater isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t planning on having any similar activities for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eclipse,â&#x20AC;? but that the busy staff will do its best to make sure Team Edward and Team Jacob fans alike have fun as the anticipation builds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be stressful having that many people come in the door at one time,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we just do our thing and try to make everybody happy.â&#x20AC;?

NATION BRIEFS

Sen. Robert Byrd of W. Va. dead at 92 By ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Senator Robert C. Byrd, a son of West Virginia coal country who used his mastery of Senate rules and a taste for hardball tactics to become a passionate and often feared advocate for the state and the Senate he loved, died Monday at age 92. The Democratâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 51 years in the Senate made him the longest serving senator in history, while his white mane, stentorian voice and flamboyant speeches citing Roman emperors gave him the presence of a man from a grander, distant time. In many ways, Byrd embodied the changes the nation has undergone in the past half century. A one-time segregationist and opponent of civil rights legislation, he evolved into a liberal hero as one of the earliest, unrepentant and most vocal foes of the Iraq war and a supporter of the rights of gays to serve in the military. He was the acknowledged Senate Renaissance man, who could recite poetry by memory for hours and yet be ruthless in advancing his legislative agenda â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which often

As the Senate opened Monday, Byrdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk was draped in black cloth with a bowl of white roses. Flags outside the White House and the Capitol flew at half-staff. Senators who came to the floor to pay tribute recognized both his longevity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he served longer and cast more votes than any senator in history â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the tenacity in which he defended the traditions and prerogatives of the Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Senator Byrdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambition was legendary,â&#x20AC;? said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., recall-

ing how shortly after he first took his oath of office on January 3, 1959, the same day Alaska became a state, he told a local newspaper that he wanted to someday chair the Senate Appropriations Committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thirty years later, he was â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and then lived and served for 21 more.â&#x20AC;? In many ways a throwback to an era of powerful orators such as Henry Clay or John C. Calhoun, the stiff and formal Byrd could speak at great length with fire and passion, mixing references to the Roman Empire with emotional memories of his almost seven decades with his late wife Erma.

Brandishing his copy of the U.S. Constitution that he always carried with him, he resisted any attempt to diminish the role of the Senate, as in the days leading up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq when he was one of the few to stand up against ceding warmaking powers to President George W. Bush. Byrd was equally tireless in steering federal dollars to his state, one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poorest, and his efforts will live on in the many highways and buildings in West Virginia that carry his name. President Barack Obama said the Senate â&#x20AC;&#x153;has lost a venerable institution, and America has lost a voice of principle and reason.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He held the deepest respect of members of both parties, and he was generous with his time and advice, something I appreciated greatly as a young senator,â&#x20AC;? Obama said in a statement. A spokesman for the family, Jesse Jacobs, said that Byrd died at about 3 a.m. at Inova Hospital in Fairfax, Va., where he had been since late last week. Byrd had been in frail health for several years.

Kagan vows to be unbiased, deferential to Congress

Cheney discharged from hospital after heart trouble WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former Vice President Dick Cheney has been discharged from the hospital after his latest bout with heart-related trouble. Cheney was admitted to George Washington University Hospital on Friday after reporting that he was not feeling well. He underwent testing and ultimately received medication to treat a fluid buildup related to his aggressive form of heart disease. His office said on Sunday that the former vice presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition has improved considerably, and he left the hospital as expected on Monday. The 69-year-old Cheney has a long history of heart disease.

Apple sells 1.7 million iPhone 4s in first 3 days NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Apple Inc. said Monday that it sold more than 1.7 million units of its new iPhone model in the first three days, making it the most successful product launch in the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history from the standpoint of sales. The iPhone 4 went on sale Thursday in the U.S., Britain, France, Germany and Japan. High demand for the model caused shortages and unruly crowds at some stores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the most successful product launch in Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history,â&#x20AC;? said Steve Jobs, Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CEO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even so, we apologize to those customers who were turned away because we did not have enough supply.â&#x20AC;? Some stores sold out within hours. Analysts have said Apple is having a hard time procuring enough parts for the phone, such as its new higher-resolution screen. Apple has said the white iPhone it plans to produce has been more challenging than expected and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be available until late July. Only black models went on sale Thursday. Apple sold more than 1 million units in the first three days when it launched last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s model, the 3GS. Canada, Italy, Spain and Switzerland were then among the launch countries, but Japan was not.

The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expenses climbed $100 million per day over the weekend, according to an SEC filing Monday, as engineers eyed a tropical storm headed for the Texas-Mexico border. It was expected to miss the oil spill area but could still generate disruptive waves and winds. It was a rocky start to the week after BP PLC stock fall 6 percent Friday in New York to a 14-year low. BP has lost more than $100 billion in market value since the deep-water drilling platform it was operating blew up April 20, killing 11 workers and starting the massive leak that has fouled the coastline in four states.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Supreme Court held Monday that Americans have the right to own a gun for self-defense anywhere they live, expanding the conservative courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embrace of gun rights since John Roberts became Chief Justice. By a 5-4 vote, the justices cast doubt on handgun bans in the Chicago area, but signaled that some limitations on the Constitutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;right to keep and bear armsâ&#x20AC;? could survive legal challenges.

E-BRIEFS

Comeback night for Brown, DeBarge By SANDY COHEN AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES — It was comeback night at the BET Awards. Kanye West opened Sunday’s show in his first TV appearance since dissing Taylor Swift at last year’s MTV Video Music Awards. T.I. made a triumphant return to TV for his first performance since being released from prison in December. And 1980s hitmaker El DeBarge blazed back onto the stage to play old hits and the title track from his first new album in 16 years. But most unexpected was Chris Brown, who offered an emotional tribute to Michael Jackson. The embattled pop star has mostly kept a low profile since pleading guilty to felony assault for beating up Rihanna in February 2009. But here he was, center stage, mimicking Jackson’s signature dance moves with almost eerie accuracy. Introduced by Jermaine Jackson, Brown embodied the King of Pop, wearing his fedora and spangled glove and moonwalking across the stage to “Billie Jean.” Then, as Brown grabbed a microphone to sing “Man in the Mirror,” he broke down in tears. His voice cracked, he couldn’t sing, and at one point he crumpled to the stage in

It was a moving moment made even more so by the song’s lyrics and his own recent past. The 21-year-old returned to the stage later to apologize to his fans. “I let you all down before, but I won’t do it again. I promise you,” Brown said. Performances were so plentiful during the 3 1/2hour show that prizes were almost secondary. Usher was backed by a string section as he sang “There Goes My Baby.” Drake, who was named best male hip-hop artist, performed a medley of his hits. B.o.B. was joined by Keyshia Cole, and later Eminem, on “Airplanes.” Eminem continued with his new single, “Not Afraid,” backed by a choir. Trey Songz, who was

named best male R&B artist, crooned his hit, “Yo Side of the Bed,” as a banner on stage behind him read, “pray for our soldiers and their families.” Alicia Keys performed a medley of her hits, bookended by two awards. She won for female R&B artist and best collaboration for her song with Jay-Z, “Empire State of Mind.” Ludacris was surrounded by female violinists and backed by Tommy Lee on drums as he performed “My Chick Bad.” Then a marching band joined him on stage — as did DJ Khaled, T-Pain, Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj — for the rousing “Hands Up.” Host Queen Latifah was also musical, first singing to famous members of the audience, then returning to her rap roots and rhyming

about the royalty in the house: herself and Prince, who received BET’s lifetime achievement award. The venerable entertainer was feted with an all-female musical tribute. Janelle Monae delivered an energetic take on “Let’s Go Crazy.” Jazz musician Esperanza Spalding accompanied herself on standup bass for “If I Was Your Girlfriend.” Alicia Keys started behind the piano, then climbed on top of it, when she sang “Adore,” and Patti LaBelle kicked off her shoes to give her all to “Purple Rain.” Prince, who wore a tunic with his own image on it, seemed humbled by the tribute. “I’m just so thankful to be a part of this world of music,” he said. “Thanks for a wonderful night. I’ll never forget it as long as I live.” John Legend was presented with BET’s humanitarian award for his work with the Show Me Campaign, which aims to eradicate poverty worldwide through education and health care. He challenged his peers to become humanitarians as well. “There’s a lot of money, fame and influence in this room tonight,” Legend said. “So I say to all of us: We can do better, we can make this world better. Let’s not waste this opportunity.”

He was sentenced to a conditional discharge, which means the arrest will be purged from his record if he stays out of trouble. “When he found out about the tax issue he hired Method Man someone and immediately corrected it,” defense attorney Peter Frankel said. “He took care of it quickly like the good member of our community he is.” The musician, actor and artist, who lives on Staten Island and whose real name is Clifford Smith, failed to file tax returns for 2004 through 2007, prosecutors said. The most he owed for one year was $32,799. Prosecutors said when people cheat on their taxes, other New Yorkers have to foot the cost.

Tape shows Blagojevich eyed Winfrey for Senate CHICAGO (AP) — A secretly made FBI tape shows that former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich weighed the possibility of naming Oprah Winfrey to the U.S. Senate seat being left by President Barack Obama. Blagojevich was heard on the tape played Monday at his corruption trial saying Winfrey’s name carried so much prestige that no one could criticize him if he named her to the Senate. His former chief of staff John Harris, who is on the witness stand, is heard on the tape saying he didn’t know what Winfrey stood for politically. But the former governor says he knows she is a Democrat and supported Obama in his race for president. He calls her a “kingmaker.”

Motley Crue singer Vince Neil arrested on DUI charge LAS VEGAS (AP) — Motley Crue singer Vince Neil, who last week had declared his sobriety, was arrested on drunken driving charges after getting pulled over by police in his Lamborghini near the Las Vegas Strip. The 49-year-old rocker was taken into custody about 11:15 p.m. Sunday when he was stopped in the black sports car after leaving the Las Vegas Hilton hotel, Officer Bill Cassell said. Neil was released Monday after posting $2,000 bail. Attorney David Chesnoff called it “premature” Monday to respond to the charge until he and attorney Richard Schonfeld collect information about the arrest.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ten people have been arrested for allegedly serving as secret agents of the Russian government with the goal of penetrating U.S. government policymaking circles . The Justice Department announced the arrests Monday. According to court papers in the case, the U.S. government intercepted a message from Russian intelligence headquarters in Moscow to two of the defendants. The message states that their main mission is â&#x20AC;&#x153;to search and develop ties in policymaking circles in USâ&#x20AC;? and send intelligence reports. The court papers cited numerous examples of communications intercepted by U.S. investigators that spelled out what the 10 allegedly were trying to do. One message back to Moscow from the defendants focused on turnover at the top level of the CIA and the 2008 U.S. presidential election.

Cautious consumers may fuel debate over deficits WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A tepid gain in consumer spending last month could fuel a debate over whether the United States and other governments should further stimulate their economies to sustain the recovery. A report that Americans spent cautiously in May came after world leaders meeting in Toronto over the weekend pledged to reduce government deficits by cutting spending and raising taxes. They did so despite warnings from President Barack Obama that scaling back spending too fast could derail the global recovery. U.S. lawmakers are wary of approving more stimulus spending in light of record-high budget deficits. As a result, millions of Americans could lose unemployment benefits and states could be forced to lay off tens of thousands of workers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our view, it is way too early to apply the fiscal brakes,â&#x20AC;? said Zach Pandl, an economist at Nomura Securities. Cutting off unemployment benefits â&#x20AC;&#x153;is a dangerous way to cut deficits when the economy is still fragile.â&#x20AC;? Economic growth, which leads to higher tax receipts and less spending on social programs, is the best way to reduce the

It was almost impossible to sit, stand, walk or even breathe! After examining my x-rays, we started treatment. After a mild adjustment on my neck, by that afternoon, I could see improvement. The next few days, my pain decreased drastically! As each visit passed, my pain was less and less. I truly believe in chiropractic care and would recommend it to anyone suffering from back pain as I did. Thanks Dr. Ammons & Dr. Silvester!

A Safeway worker, left, bags items for a customer in San Ramon, Calif. deficit, Pandl said. Other economists note that wages and salaries rose 0.5 percent in May, a second consecutive month of strong gains. That is a sign that the recovery can survive without government propping it up. If the trend in income growth continues, â&#x20AC;&#x153;consumersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spending power will be bolstered, which will in turn drive economic growth, necessitating less government support,â&#x20AC;? said Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak. One thing is certain: Americans are being careful with their money. Consumer spending rose 0.2 percent last month after no change in April, the Commerce Department said Monday. Consumer spending accounts for about 70 per-

cent of economic activity. But the consumer hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been driving this recovery. Instead, it has depended more on business and government spending, along with exports. In the four quarters following the steep 1981-82 downturn, consumer spending rose by an average of 6.5 percent per quarter. By contrast, even as the economy has grown for the past three quarters, consumer spending rose an average of only 2.5 percent per quarter. If consumption remains sluggish, the economy may not grow fast enough to generate jobs and quickly bring down the 9.7 percent unemployment rate. Some economists are concerned the economy could slow later this year if government cuts back on stimu-

lus spending. Pandl said Nomura is lowering its forecast for third-quarter economic growth to 2.2 percent from 2.6 percent based on the assumption that Congress will not extend federal unemployment benefits. Up until last month, jobless workers who exhausted their 26 weeks of state benefits had been able to qualify for up 73 weeks of additional federal benefits. But Senate Republicans have blocked an extension, citing concerns over the deficit as their main reason. That means about 2 million out-of-work Americans could lose their benefits by the middle of July, the Labor Department estimates. The Senate has also balked at providing stimulus money to cashstrapped state governments. Thirty states had been counting on federal support to help balance their budgets. Without the money, governors warn theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to lay off tens of thousands of workers. The debate over how big a role governments should play featured prominently at the G-20 summit. World leaders agreed to cut deficits in richer countries in half by 2013, although they gave themselves some wiggle room to meet that goal.

GULF OIL SPILL

Storm could disrupt oil cleanup NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tropical Storm Alex steamed across the Gulf of Mexico on Monday on a path that could keep it away from BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busted well but could still stir up heavy winds, rain and choppy seas that drive the oil deeper inland and bring much of the cleanup to a standstill. By midweek, boats skimming the sludge from the water may have to return to port for their own safety, and the floating oil-containment booms could be rendered useless by waves slopping over them and may have to be pulled out of the water. The upside is that the storm could stay far enough away that BP will not have to abandon its

efforts to capture much of the crude spewing from the sea floor. Nor is the storm expected to interrupt BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drilling of a relief well, considered the best hope of plugging the leak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are watching very, very closely,â&#x20AC;? said Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point man on the crisis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As it stands right now, absent the intervention of a hurricane, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still looking at mid-Augustâ&#x20AC;? for completing the relief well. Earlier Monday, a BP executive said the well would be done by early August. Still, Alex â&#x20AC;&#x201D; expected to reach hurricane force by the time it hits land near the Mexico-Texas border, possibly Thursday

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is giving new urgency to BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to make its operations at the well as hurricane-resistant as possible. The company said it hopes to install a new oil-capturing system by next week that would allow BP to disconnect the equipment faster if a hurricane threatens and hook it back up quickly after the storm passes. Right now, BP would need five days to pull out if there is a hurricane. The new system being developed, which uses a flexible hose, would cut that to two days. And if there was a hurricane, it could shut down the drilling operation for up to two weeks, Allen said.

CAPRIATI RECOVERING FROM ‘ACCIDENTAL’ OVERDOSE OF MEDS

(AP) — Former tennis star Jennifer Capriati was recovering Monday from an accidental overdose of prescribed medication, a family spokeswoman said. The 34-year-old Capriati, once ranked No. 1 in a career sidetracked by personal troubles, was in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery, spokeswoman Lacey Wickline told The Associated Press. She declined to identify the medication. Capriati was rushed to a South Florida hospital early Sunday morning, she said. Wickline would not say how Capriati was found or who called emergency services. “In response to an outpouring of concern and support shown by Jennifer’s fans and friends worldwide, we would like to acknowledge that Jen is recuperating at a South Florida hospital from an accidental overdose of medication prescribed to Jen by her personal physician,” Wickline said. “Jenn is recovering fully and stably.”

CYCLING ARMSTRONG TWEET: THIS TOUR WILL BE HIS LAST

(AP) — Lance Armstrong has posted on his Twitter page this year’s Tour de France will be his last. “It’s been a great ride. Looking forward to 3 great weeks,” Armstrong tweeted Monday. A seven-time winner of cycling’s most prestigious race, the 38-year-old Armstrong returned to the Tour last year after a three-year absence and finished third behind Astana teammate Alberto Contador of Spain. Armstrong started a new team for this year’s race. He won the race seven straight times from 1999-2005 before retiring. The Tour de France starts Saturday in Belgium.

SANFORD — Ask any weekend golfer his druthers, and he’d likely say the plan would go something like this: As the years pass, work less, golf more. David Wicker, while running Central Moving and Storage, has had to turn that expectation around a little bit. He’s golfing less now than he did when he won two Brick Capital Classics in a span of three years. “I’m a once-a-week golfer now, I guess,” he says with a chuckle. Well, he was awfully good this week. Wicker backed up a firstround 70 with a 69 on Sunday, making birdie on the par-5 18th hole to win his third Brick Capital title and his first since 2003. “This does feel pretty good,” said Wicker, who tied Craig Sturdivant for second on the list for multiple winners of the Brick Capital with three. “I don’t play as much now as I did (when I won in 2001 and 2003), so it does feel good to still be able to go out there and compete and win.” Wicker’s last birdie gave him

WORLD CUP

U.S. soccer prez: team failed expectations By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

JOHANNESBURG — U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati says the American team did not meet his expectations at the World Cup and he likely will meet with Bob Bradley after the tournament to discuss the coach’s future. Bradley was hired in December 2006 and has a contract running through the end of the year. The Americans were eliminated last weekend in the second round with a 2-1 overtime loss to Ghana. “I think the team is capable of more,” Gulati said Monday during a one-hour assessment. “I think the players know it. I think

Bob knows it. And so at that level we’re disappointed we didn’t get to play another 90 minutes at least.” Gulati described Bradley as being “very disappointed” with the team’s outcome. “The missed opportuGulati nity is partly a chance to get to the quarters and the matchup with Uruguay, but it’s also a missed opportunity to stay in the American public’s eyes for another four, five, six days, maybe 10 days, when interest is at an all-time high,” Gulati said. “I have no doubt there will still be people at bars watching games at strange

times, that the TV ratings will still be good. But what the ratings might have been for a quarterfinal game or dreaming beyond that, it’s certainly a missed opportunity.” Gulati said there was a slight chance he would start discussions with Bradley later Monday before the coach returned to the United States, but that extensive talks probably will wait until Gulati traveled back after the World Cup final on July 11. “I want to sit down with Bob. I think that’s the appropriate thing,” Gulati said. “I want to hear his views, express some of mine and see what makes sense. I think he’s done a very

McALLEN, Texas (AP) — Texas police have arrested a man accused of fatally beating his 2-year-old stepdaughter when she wouldn’t stop crying as he watched a World Cup game. McAllen police say 27-year-old Hector Castro is expected to be charged Monday with murder. Police Chief Victor Rodriguez says Castro told investigators that the toddler wouldn’t stop crying while he was trying to watch the U.S.-Ghana matchup on Saturday. Rodriguez says the child was severely beaten and suffered several broken ribs. Police said a screw or bolt was forced down her throat in an apparent attempt to make it look like she choked to death.

In this March 19 file photo, Duke’s coach Mike Krzyzewski, left, congratulates Kyle Singler after defeating Arkansas-Pine Bluff 73-44 during an NCAA first-round college basketball game in Jacksonville, Fla.

DURHAM — Mike Krzyzewski welcomed back a star who turned down the NBA. He also did the same thing himself — as he has done several times through the years. Since he won his fourth national championship, it’s been an eventful summer for Coach K. Nearly three months after cutting down the nets in Indianapolis, the 63-yearold Krzyzewski insisted he’s feeling plenty refreshed as he prepares for the U.S. national team’s training camp next month in Las Vegas. “I’m on to the next thing, and the next thing is getting better as a basketball coach, to coach the United States gives me an opportunity to get better. I’ll coach this summer more than anybody in the United States. “As long as I take my breaks and stay fresh, I think that’s a good thing,” he added. “You would want the guy defending you (in a courtroom) to get better in law. You would want the guy or woman treating

you in health to keep up to date, and I think as long as you’re in any profession, you should get better, because it’s constantly changing.” Duke’s title run that ended in early April “never wore me out,” he said, because his seniors shouldered so much of the leadership burden. “Last year’s team was a team that, whatever you gave it, they gave back to you,” Krzyzewski said. “So it wasn’t an energy drain, like, ’Man, these guys don’t get it.’ They got it. ... We worked very hard, but there wasn’t what I call couch time or motivational time. Our veterans took care of a lot of those things, either by talking or by setting an example. That’s such a good thing. So at the end of the year, I was still very fresh.” As he looks ahead to 201011, he’s counting on seniorsto-be Kyle Singler, the most outstanding player at the Final Four, and Nolan Smith to continue that trend. Singler opted not to enter the NBA draft early and returned for a

HAMMONDS WINS MVP

WORLD CUP Five-time champ Brazil advances easily JOHANNESBURG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Five-time champion Brazil beat South American rival Chile 3-0 to advance to the quarterfinals of the World Cup on Monday. Juan opened the scoring in the 34th minute at Ellis Park Stadium with a firm header from near the penalty spot off a corner kick. Luis Fabiano added to the lead in the 38th, receiving a one-touch pass from Kaka and dribbling past goalkeeper Claudio Bravo inside the area before hitting the open net. Robinho scored his first goal in the tournament with a shot from the top of the area in the 59th minute, a onetimer into the far corner. Brazil will face the Netherlands, which earlier Monday defeated Slovakia 2-1. Chile is the first South American team eliminated. Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay are in the final eight, and Paraguay plays Japan on Tuesday. The victory in front of nearly 55,000 fans at Ellis Park extended Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dominance over Chile. It was the eighth consecutive win; the last loss to Chile was 3-0 in a 2000 qualifier for the 2002 World Cup. Brazil has now reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup every time since the 1990 tournament in Italy, when it fell 1-0 to Diego Maradonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Argentina in the second round. Brazil coach Dunga and assistant coach Jorginho were starters in that Brazilian team. Netherlands 2, Slovakia 1 DURBAN, South Africa (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Netherlands reached the final eight when standouts Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder scored in each half of a 2-1 victory over Slovakia. The Oranje, who have never won soccerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest prize, went ahead in the 18th minute when Robben cut inside from the right wing and found the net with a low, precise shot from 20 yards. Robben sat out the first two group matches with a hamstring injury, but his return has rekindled the crafty Dutch offense.

He had a great shot Sunday at New Hampshire Motorspeedway and was a serious threat to win until he got caught up with Jeff Gordon, fell back and was plowed by Reed Sorenson.

Burton, who finished 12th, accepted responsibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to sit back now and say we should have changed tires, but all we had to do was drag two other cars with us and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d win the race,â&#x20AC;?

Sports LeBron’s Suitors By The Associated Press A look at the teams that could pursue LeBron James in free agency (in alphabetical order): CHICAGO BULLS Projected amount under the salary cap: $29.2 million Why they’d land LeBron: With Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, perhaps the best core of any James suitor. ... James respects new coach Tom Thibodeau, the architect of the Boston defenses that knocked him out of the playoffs two of the last three years. ... Draft-night trade left them close to being able to offer two maximum salary contracts that would start at around $16.5 million next season. ... James grew up a Bulls fan. Why they’d lose LeBron: James may not want the pressure of living up to inevitable comparisons to Michael Jordan in Chicago. ... Management has had some strained relationships with its star players, a point Dwyane Wade alluded to this season. ... Won’t have the same star power making their pitch as some competitors. Outlook: If James doesn’t mind playing in Jordan’s old home, he may find his best chance to win is there. CLEVELAND CAVALIERS Projected amount under the salary cap: Doesn’t matter, they can exceed the cap to sign James. Why they’d land LeBron: James has spent his entire career in Cleveland and is comfortable there, saying the Cavs have an “edge” in re-signing him. ... Close to his hometown of Akron. ... Able to offer him about $30 million more than any other team over the life of a max deal. ... Owner Dan Gilbert has shown he’s willing to spend to build a winner. ... Best regular-season record in the NBA each of the last two seasons. Why they’d lose LeBron: With coach Mike Brown fired — and still not replaced — and general manager Danny Ferry leaving since the season ended, the Cavs have the look of a team in turmoil. ... Moves to win now have left few easy opportunities to upgrade the roster. ... Not as much talent on the roster as other teams courting James. Outlook: It was hard during the season to find many people who thought James would leave. Since the season ended, it’s gotten harder to find those who think he’s staying. The Cavs have to count on his loyalty to home. LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS Projected amount under the salary cap: $16.8 million Why they’d land LeBron: A good core, with All-Star center Chris Kaman, 2009 No. 1 draft pick Blake Griffin, and guards Baron Davis and Eric Gordon. ... Los Angeles would provide numerous entertainment opportunities. Why they’d lose LeBron: A longtime laughingstock in pro sports and the clear little brother in its own building to the NBA champion Lakers. ... Donald Sterling is considered one of the worst and cheapest owners in sports. ... No coach in place, having not yet replaced Mike Dunleavy. ... Would be tough to unseat Kobe Bryant as the most popular player in the city. Outlook: There’s certainly reasons for James to be intrigued by the Clippers, but just as many to be scared off by them. MIAMI HEAT Projected amount under the salary cap: $26.7 million Why they’d land LeBron: Enough money to afford James, another max player and still have enough left over for a solid third piece. ... Trendy spots, great weather and no state income tax make Miami a favorite of many NBA

players. ... Good friends with Dwyane Wade, whom the Heat expect to keep. ... Strong leadership at the top with owner Micky Arison and president Pat Riley — who hinted he’d consider a return to coaching if certain free agents requested it. Why they’d lose LeBron: Not much there besides Wade as a result of salaryclearing moves. ... James may not want to come to Wade’s team. Outlook: Wade and James both have talked about playing with each other, and here’s their chance. But James would have to be sold they could build a competitive roster around them, and he may prefer beating Wade to joining him. NEW JERSEY NETS Amount under the salary cap: $27.1 million Why they’d land LeBron: Excitement of new Russian owner Mikhail Prokhorov, who vows the Nets will become a global team. ... Entertainer and part-owner Jay-Z and James are longtime friends. ... With center Brook Lopez, point guard Devin Harris and No. 3 pick Derrick Favors, the Nets have some good young pieces. ... Expected to begin playing in new arena in Brooklyn, which James calls his favorite borough, in 2012. Why they’d lose LeBron: Will spend the next two years in Newark while waiting for Brooklyn arena to be built. ... Coming off a 12-70 season that was one of worst in NBA history. ... With president Rod Thorn expected to retire next month, no clear leader of the basketball operations. Outlook: The Nets might be the favorites if they were already in Brooklyn. But playing near New York isn’t the same as playing in New York, and the difference might be enough to make James look elsewhere. NEW YORK KNICKS Amount under the salary cap: $34.1 million Why they’d land LeBron: James loves Madison Square Garden and New York. ... Coach Mike D’Antoni is friendly with James from the U.S. Olympic team, and James likes his system. ... Can afford to sign another maximum salary free agent with James. ... Offers marketing opportunities James craves. Why they’d lose LeBron: Mired in franchise-worst stretch of nine straight losing seasons. ... Moves to clear salary have left little remaining talent. ... One of the league’s poorest defensive teams, and James values good defense. ... Enormous media presence may be a turnoff to James. Outlook: The Knicks believe they’ll get someone — maybe even two guys. But they haven’t had a winning season since James came into the NBA and have little talent to put around him, so no matter how much James loves New York, he may not love the Knicks.

Roddick shocked by Lu

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Texas Rangers’ Josh Hamilton smiles during batting practice before an interleague baseball game against the Florida Marlins in Miami.

Patient Hamilton riding a hot streak ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Josh Hamilton no longer has a need for Home Run Derby — not during the All-Star break or with impressive pregame batting practice shows. Oh, he can still hit the ball a long, long way. His 468-foot homer in the Texas Rangers’ last game was the second-longest ever hit at their ballpark. “It looked like it would clear the whole stadium,” manager Ron Washington said. That impressive shot against Houston ace Roy Oswalt, landing several rows into the upper deck Sunday night, also extended Hamilton’s career-best hitting streak to 21 games. And it was his 47th hit this month, tying a team record. “At first (this season), I

was trying to hit the ball far. That wasn’t working too good,” Hamilton said. “Now I just try to put the barrel on the ball. I’m working on being more patient, on getting my swing more level.” With that approach and the elimination of a toe tap from his swing, Hamilton has hit .477 (41 of 86) during a stretch of more than three weeks. His average was up to .346 and tied for secondbest in the majors going into Monday, a day off for the AL West-leading Rangers before a series at the Los Angeles Angels. Hamilton was fifth in 18 home runs and 57 RBIs. “I’ve been really impressed with his discipline as far as his routine goes,” teammate Michael Young said. “The guy can put on BP shows with the

best of them, and he’s hitting nothing but line drives up the middle in batting practice right now just trying to really work on his craft. ... It’s like he’s maturing and growing up.” Hamilton’s hitting surge coincides with a strong push by the Rangers, who are 20-5 in June to build a 4 1/2-game division lead over the Angels. Los Angeles has won five of the last six AL West titles. The Rangers, who last won the division in 1999, have never been better through 75 games and are only game behind the New York Yankees (4728) for the majors’ best record. Texas is already exactly halfway to team president Nolan Ryan’s preseason expectation of 92 victories.

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Three-time finalist Andy Roddick was stunned in the fourth round at Wimbledon on Monday by an 82ndranked Taiwanese player who hadn’t won a match here the past four years. The fifth-seeded American was ousted 4-6, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (4), 6-7 (5), 9-7 by Yen-hsun Lu in a match that lasted more than 4 1/2 hours. Lu sealed the victory in the 16th game of the fifth set with his only service break of the match. The 26-year-old Lu had lost in the first round at Wimbledon four straight times and failed to win a match at the past five Grand Slams. He’s the first Asian man to reach the quarterfinals of any Grand Slam since Shuzo Matsuoka of Japan did it at Wimbledon in 1995. Roddick had 38 aces, but converted only one of eight breakpoint chances. Lu finished with 22 aces. “I thought he served better than he has against me before,” Roddick said. “That being said, I had shots. I didn’t take advantage of them.” Lu’s win overshadowed victories by Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray on the men’s side, and the Williams sisters and Kim Clijsters among the women. Before Monday, Lu was 9-18 in Grand Slam matches, 11-17 on grass and 2-10 overall against top-10 ranked players. It was his first win over a top-10 player since he beat Murray in the first round of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Wicker made his birdie to tie for the lead at 3 under. But a chance at a playoff was lost when Ring missed the comebacker for a bogey, and Wicker was the champion. “Both of us were putting for birdie, but unfortunately Dale threeputted,” Wicker said. “He really played a great, great round.” Despite a couple of early charges from back in the field, Wicker and Ring made the tournament a two-horse race for much of the final round. They were tied at 3 under when they made the turn, though Wicker fell back after a three-putt bogey on No. 14. Wicker came back with a birdie on the 16th hole to again tie for the lead with the steady

Ring. But it may have been a bogey that saved Wicker’s chances of winning the tournament. After spraying his tee shot to the right on the 17th hole, Wicker’s ball hit a tree and came to rest in a hazard. With a good lie, Wicker was able to play out of the hazard and scramble for a bogey, leaving him one back of Ring heading to the final hole. “It could have been a big number,” said Sanford Golf Course Assistant Pro Brandon Honeycutt, who followed the group during the final round. “He saved bogey, and he was still in the tournament.” Carson Lanier, the 2008 winner, finished third at 143 after rounds of 73 and 70.

He maintained his oftrepeated I’m-staying-at-Duke mantra despite pesky rumors that some NBA teams were interested in him — particularly the Cleveland Cavaliers, who also pursued Tom Izzo for their vacancy before he opted to return to Michigan State. Krzyzewski said he spoke to Izzo “a few days before everything hit,” with the Spartans’ coach, who asked how he handled his 2004 decision to turn down the Los Angeles Lakers’ reported $40 million offer.

“He’s about the same age (as Krzyzewski was) when I was considering the Lakers,” he said. “I just told him, if he accepted it, they better pay him a lot of money before he knows about LeBron (James, the highest-profile pending free agent). ’Whatever they’re offering you, if you were going to take it with or without, they need to offer you more, with not knowing or you have to wait, because it’s a different decision, obviously.”’ Of course, Krzyzewski has another chance to coach NBA players when he leads the U.S. national team later this summer at the FIBA world championships in Turkey. He said Singler and Smith will be among the roughly 20 college players who will head to Las Vegas to compete for a roster spot on the U.S. team.

Munich the following summer, but was fired in April 2009 with the club in third place in the Bundesliga following its quarterfinal elimination from the Champions League. Klinsmann then moved back to California with his family, and last month he wouldn’t say whether he’d be interested in taking over the U.S. team.

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Boyfriend’s Valentine roses got a joyful second bloom

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Clear up old debts, paperwork and obsessions this year. It’s time to evaluate and make the changes necessary to start again. You are living in a fast-changing society that requires you to live in the present instead of relying on the past to guide you. Embrace whatever you need to learn and you can compete and stay in the game. Your numbers are 8, 10, 25, 29, 33, 35, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be aware of the cycles you have been through in the past in order to recognize reoccurring circumstances. Personal and professional issues will be difficult to deal with but, if you trust in your own abilities and help those in need, you will resolve the ongoing issues. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t let your emotions cloud issues or take you in the wrong direction. Precision will be required, especially where business is involved. Avoid conflicts over rules and regulations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Touch base with people you haven’t seen for a long time. You need to reminisce in order to embrace some of the goals and skills you never had a chance to develop. Take part in any event that allows you to revive your past. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Invest in yourself, not someone else or a cause you know little about. A change at work may put more responsibility on you. Make sure you are compensated for your time and effort. Spend time doing something you enjoy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Love, romance, travel and a change of scenery will all contribute to making today a positive experience. Your emotions are tuned in to the people who mean the most to you, so nurture these relationships. Be honest. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

WORD JUMBLE

22): You may be good at dealing with other people’s dilemmas but you must give them a chance to figure things out or you will continue to have to take responsibility. Financial uncertainty will arise if you pay for others or are careless with your money. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are under too much pressure and you need to distance yourself in order to get things back in perspective. Looking at your situation from the outside in will give you greater insight into what needs to be done. Don’t overreact. SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): Stick to what you enjoy and what you know and do best. Leave emotional discussions until you are in a better position to get your point across. Changes are heading your way and they appear to be in your favor if you follow your instincts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have to take charge before someone else does. There will be plenty of issues both at home and work that will lead to financial uncertainty if you don’t take action. Diplomacy will be required. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Problems with friends, relatives and neighbors can be expected. Take action and make your position known. Someone will be waiting and watching for you to make a costly mistake, leaving you in a vulnerable position and an easy mark. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Use your imagination, be innovative and, most of all, be sure about your intentions. Love is in the stars but honesty must prevail if you intend to turn a connection into a longterm relationship. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may feel like sharing your thoughts and feelings but it’s best to say little and listen a lot. Don’t give in to ultimatums. Choose your path and stick to it.

DEAR ABBY: “Grinched in Iowa” (April 14) was upset that his girlfriend gave his Valentine roses to a stranger after he spent more than $82 on them. Several years ago, when my father was ill with cancer, he sent a beautiful bouquet of flowers to my mother. When I saw them, I commented on how pretty they were and, halfjokingly, asked if they wanted to make another person as happy as they had made my mom. I explained that my friend Patty was having a hard time coping with the fact her dad and mother-inlaw both had cancer. My parents said, “Take them!” Patty burst into tears when she saw me arrive with the flowers. I think “Grinched” should quit being such a grouch and be thankful for having a compassionate, caring girlfriend. — SHELLEY IN MUSKEGON, MICH. DEAR SHELLEY: Thank you for reminding me to “smell the roses.” While I sympathized, in part, with “Grinched,” readers’ responses heavily favored his girlfriend. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Whether that guy spent $8 or $82, the flowers will die in a week. Sending flowers is an expression of love, and it is the ACT that brings joy to the recipient. Whether the bouquet or the memory of his generosity continues to bring joy is immaterial. He should be thrilled to have a girlfriend who is so full of love and joy she wanted

loving woman would treat HIM the same way. — RANDY IN TROY, MICH.

to share that feeling and bring the same happiness to another couple. “Grinch’s” girlfriend should now decide if she wants to be with a guy who is more concerned about the money than the sentiment. — PEEVED WITH HIM IN CANADA DEAR ABBY: “Grinched’s” girlfriend is too dumb to have thought about what you suggested. (“She could have given the stranger one or two of the roses ...”) He should drop her quicker than petals drop from a rose! — JON IN ST. PAUL, MINN. DEAR ABBY: You should have set “Grinched” straight instead of coddling him. If he had any brains he would have married his girlfriend on the spot. Any woman who is so selfless she would give her gift to another person in need is someone he should hang onto and never let go. Perhaps he is too blind and emotionally insecure to realize this

DEAR ABBY: Maybe she was trying to tell him she did not want any roses. Could it be time for a ring? — JILL IN EUGENE, ORE. DEAR ABBY: “Grinched’s” gift did what it was supposed to do -- show his girlfriend he cared. When the roses were passed along to another person, his gift benefited three people instead of just one. In this day and age, we need more kindness. — LISA IN AKRON, OHIO DEAR ABBY: The roses had already served their purpose. The girlfriend was able to see how much he cared for her, as were her co-workers. (Why else would he send them to her at work?) Once she took them home, the roses would have sat in a vase until it was time to throw them out. Instead, they brought joy a second time, and she proved herself to be a compassionate, sensitive person who knew how to embrace the true spirit of Valentine’s Day. — MAUREEN IN MANCHESTER, N.H. DEAR ABBY: Roses: $82. Groceries: $37. A relationship with someone who would reach out with concern to someone in need: Priceless! — HARLEY IN LAS CRUCES, N.M.

ODDS AND ENDS Double diplomas: 2 NY nnschools, 19 sets of twins BALDWINSVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — People attending graduation ceremonies at a pair of upstate New York high schools couldn’t be blamed for thinking they were seeing double. Twelve sets of twins graduated from Baker High School in Baldwinsville on Sunday, the same day seven sets of twins received their diplomas during ceremonies at nearby Jamesville-DeWitt High School in the Syracuse area. Representatives from Guinness World Records say Baker High’s graduating class with 12 sets of twins breaks the previous record of 10, set by a Massachusetts high school in 2007. Principal Joseph DeBarbieri, himself a twin, says four of his school’s 12 sets of twins plan to attend the same college as their sibling.

Camo-wearing bowhunters marry in tree in Iowa ANAMOSA, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa couple whose passion for bowhunting encouraged Cupid’s arrow to strike wore camouflage to blend in with the wooded backdrop at their treetop wedding. Forty-two year-old Kim Silver dressed in a silk gown made by camouflage specialists Mossy Oak, and her 61-yearold groom, Marvin Hunter, was dressed in camo shirt and pants at the Saturday nuptials.

SUDOKU

MY ANSWER They said their vows atop a tree stand hunting platform at the Anamosa Bowhunters Archery Club in the state’s northeast. The bride and groom occasionally punctuated the ceremony by firing arrows at targets. Hunter said the couple had always joked about getting married on a tree stand. Silver said the pair they hunt together so much that the camo wedding “just seemed like the right thing to do.”

Wis. chief forester fined $263 for shooting turkey MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The chief forester in Wisconsin has turned himself in and paid a $263 fine for shooting a hen turkey out of season. Paul DeLong says he made a mistake this spring when he mistook a tuft of feathers on the bird for a beard. He thought it was a male bird that could be shot legally. DeLong heads the Department of Natural Resources’ Forestry Division, which manages Wisconsin’s forests. DNR Chief Warden Randy Stark says DeLong turned himself in. Stark says a member of the public likely wouldn’t have been cited, but he decided to cite DeLong because he was a DNR employee and DeLong asked to be treated like any other agency worker. The DNR says he won’t be reprimanded, though. DeLong says he wanted to take responsibility for his error.

Make sure your faith is focused Q: I know faith is important, but how much faith do you have to have in order to be saved and go to heaven when you die? I admit that sometimes I have a lot of faith, but other times my faith is pretty weak, and this worries me. -- J.McD. A: Jesus was once asked how much faith a person needed to be saved, and He replied that if our faith was only as big as a mustard seed -- one of nature’s smallest seeds -- then God would honor that faith (see Matthew 17:20). You see, it isn’t the size of our faith that’s important, but the object of our faith. In other words, in what (or whom) do you place your faith? Is your faith simply in “faith” (as is true with some people)? Or is it in your feelings, which come and go? Is your faith in your good works, hoping somehow that you’ve been good enough for God to accept you? Or perhaps your faith is in God -- but God sometimes seems distant and unconcerned about you. Only one person is worthy to be the object of our faith -- and that is Jesus Christ. He alone is our Savior, for He alone has opened heaven’s door for us. Make certain that your faith is in the right place, by committing your life in complete faith and trust to Jesus Christ. The Bible says, “Our Savior, Christ Jesus... has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel” (2 Timothy 1:10). Take the first step of faith by asking Jesus Christ to come into your life, and trusting Him alone for your salvation.
