SANFORD — With the first performance less than a week away, the cast of Star Community Theatre’s “Pirates! The Musical” is singing louder, dancing faster and working harder. Casting first began just a few weeks ago in mid-June, but the 4 to 14year-old actors are already in the midst of dress rehearsals, decked out in tattered shirts, eye patches and head scarves.

The crew of “Pirates!” rehearses on Wednesday afternoon at Encore. The show will be at the Civic Center on July 14-16.

The Union Pines High School band marched on Washington, D.C., last weekend, chosen over every other band in the state to represent North Carolina in the national Fourth of July celebration. “There was a lot of pressure, with all of those people watching,” junior drum major Nolan Lea said. “If we messed up, they would have seen it.” They didn’t mess up. The Marching Vikings moved down Constitution Avenue in perfect lock-step with the White House visible in the distance. “They’re hard-working, and their dedication to their craft has paid off,” band director Rob Hill said. “I’m proud that it makes them feel good to make others feel good because of their talent.” The band was invited to apply for a spot in the parade, something only select bands are asked to do. When they found out they were chosen, “we all jumped up and started screaming,” Lea said. Though it’s a smaller school, Union Pines has a band that rivals much larger school districts, Hill said—about 15 percent of the school is in the band. “They’re our leaders. They keep the school spirit going,” principal Robin Lea said. “It’s a family-type atmosphere.” In the parade, the band played a patriotic medley they had prac-

Just as we do today, our nation was facing its own turmoil in 1960, when a group of local leaders had an idea to ease suffering throughout Lee County.

Almanac Today is Saturday, July 10, the 191st day of 2010. There are 174 days left in the year. This day in history: On July 10, 1940, during World War II, the Battle of Britain began as Nazi forces began attacking southern England by air. (The Royal Air Force was ultimately victorious.) In 1509, theologian John Calvin, a key figure of the Protestant Reformation, was born in Noyon, Picardy, France. In 1890, Wyoming became the 44th state. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson personally delivered the Treaty of Versailles (vehr-SY’) to the Senate, and urged its ratification. (However, the Senate rejected it.) In 1929, American paper currency was reduced in size as the government began issuing bills that were approximately 25 percent smaller. In 1951, armistice talks aimed at ending the Korean War began at Kaesong. In 1962, the Telstar 1 communications satellite was launched from Cape Canaveral. In 1973, the Bahamas became fully independent after three centuries of British colonial rule. In 1985, the Greenpeace protest ship Rainbow Warrior was sunk with explosives in Auckland, New Zealand by French intelligence agents; one activist was killed. Bowing to pressure from irate customers, the Coca-Cola Co. said it would resume selling old-formula Coke, while continuing to sell New Coke.

Triangle clerks cited for selling tobacco to minors

RALEIGH (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; During the first six months of this year, special agents with the North Carolina Division of Alcohol Law Enforcement cited 316 store clerks statewide for selling tobacco or tobacco products to minors, the division announced today. In the Triangle, 56 store clerks were cited after checks at 378 establishments in Wake, Durham, Chatham, Orange, Franklin, Granville, Person and Vance counties, the ALE said. Statewide, agents checked 2,409 retail outlets in 76 counties through June 30. ALE agents used undercover minors to attempt to buy tobacco during the checks. If store clerks did not check for identification, or checked the ID but still sold the tobacco, the ALE agent issued a citation. A district court judge can fine clerks up to $1,000 or order community service of up to 30 days, the ALE said. If the store clerk has previously sold to minors, the judge can order jail time. Selling tobacco to an underage person is a misdemeanor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to curb underage tobacco purchases and make sure retail outlets are following the law,â&#x20AC;? ALE Director John Ledford said. ALE offers a training program to clerks, teaching them how to check identifications and prevent sales of tobacco, alcohol and lottery tickets to minors. Agents also distribute signs and brochures related to state

laws and the responsibilities of retail merchants. The unannounced checks are part of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tobacco Education and Compliance Check, a program financed by the N.C. Health and Wellness Trust Fund. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The News and Observer

BRAC

Commands to relocate to Bragg in shifts PINEHURST (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Demands on the U.S. Army since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks require troops be ready to cycle in and out of conflicts across the globe at any time, the deputy head of U.S. Army Forces Command said Wednesday. As a result, when Forces Command moves from its home in Atlanta to Fort Bragg, it must remain fully operational during the transition, Lt. Gen. Joseph Peterson said. For that reason, the 2,800 military personnel, civilians and contractors will come to North Carolina in shifts. The first 450 will begin arriving as early as October, said Grant Steffan, the BRAC program manager for Forces Command. Peterson and Steffan delivered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;State of the BRACâ&#x20AC;? address to more than 100 people at the Pinehurst Members Club. The purpose was to educate Moore County leaders about the effects of bringing Forces Command and U.S. Army Reserve Command to Fort Bragg. Forces Command oversees more than three quarters of a million soldiers and 21 military installations. It represents about 80 percent of the U.S. Army, Peterson said. As part of a congressionally mandated base reorganization, the headquarters for Forces Command will move from Fort McPherson, Ga., to Fort Bragg by late August 2011. However, the new headquarters being constructed at Fort Bragg will not be finished until June 2011, leaving only a few months before the September 2011 move-in deadline. To buy more time for the transition, Forces Command staff will move into temporary accommodations across the base, including the Firestone building, Camp Mackall and warehouses in the eastern part of the post, Steffan said. Though the 2,800 personnel wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a huge impact on troop levels at Fort Bragg, Forces Command will bring in mostly high-level staffers. The most common rank of the commandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commissioned officers is major or lieutenant colonel. This will add to the Army postâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already $9.5 billion economic impact on the region, Peterson said.

Sweepstakes owners angered by new law NEW BERN (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Angela Welch said she will have to close the New Bern Business Center on Glenburnie Road by Dec. 1 if the governor signs new legislation banning the use of electronic machines and devices for playing Internet sweepstakes games. Welchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business, which also offers fax, copying and general Internet services in addition to access to games like the Keno lottery game, opened last July. The parlor is one of several in New Bern where residents can play sweepstakes games on computers or other machines. The N.C. House of Representatives voted 86-27 Wednesday to support a Senate-approved bill that bans the machines, which were developed, according to the legislation, through â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretextual relationships

with Internet service, telephone cards, and office suppliesâ&#x20AC;? after a 2006 video poker machine ban went into effect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to put 10,000 people out of work,â&#x20AC;? Welch said of the legislation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a free country. We should be able to do what we want with our money.â&#x20AC;? Welch started the business after retiring from a bank, where she worked as a manager. Her customers pay 20 cents per minute to use the Internet in addition to about 25 or 50 cents each time they make an entry on a sweepstakes game such as Keno. Some people come in for the social aspect or to relax, while others come to study or write school papers, check their e-mail or social networking site accounts, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no partying go-

ing on, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calm,â&#x20AC;? she said. Welch, like several other managers or owners of businesses that offer sweepstakes in New Bern, said she believes she should be able to keep her store open if the N.C. Education Lottery is still around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference?â&#x20AC;? she said. Mike Elks, an employee of an Internet sweepstakes business that opened last Friday at 2905 Brunswick Ave., said he feels that if the use of the electronic devices is banned, the lottery should be done away with, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be honest with you, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a lot of people unemployed when these places shut down,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are they going to be on? Unemployment.â&#x20AC;? For employee Ruby McAllister of the Sweep-

McAllister said. Mary Doyle of Morehead City was playing Internet sweepstakes in the Havelock establishment just after the news that the General Assembly voted to ban the businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see anything wrong with this,â&#x20AC;? Doyle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun way to spend a couple of hours with friends.â&#x20AC;? She and Havelock friends Pat Lee and Linda Saylor said they spend about $20 an outing since they discovered the new casual pasttime which opened here in March. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even go to the movies for that price,â&#x20AC;?

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

What’s a year of your life worth, anyway? Our View Issue: The General Assembly voted Friday to give automatic awards to people found innocent by the N.C. Innocence Inquiry Commission

Our stance: Though it is a laudable bill, the $50,000 per year award seems low

What is a year of your life worth? If you’re Greg Taylor, about $50,000. That’s how much the Raleigh man received for every year he was wrongly incarcerated for a 1991 murder he didn’t commit. The North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission found earlier this year that there was enough evidence to prove that Taylor didn’t commit the crime, and he was freed on Feb. 17. Upon being pardoned by Gov. Bev Perdue, Taylor was awarded the $750,000 maximum compensation the state allows for his more than 16 years of incarceration.

Then on Friday, the N.C. General Assembly agreed to make changes to the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission stating that a person exonerated doesn’t have to receive a formal pardon of innocence from the governor to qualify for $50,000 a year for each year in prison. The bill also makes the commission permanent. New claims were only going to be taken until Dec. 31. It’s a laudable gesture, to be sure, since it ensures that those who were exonerated by the commission will not have to endure any more trauma at the hands of the state, at least not

financially. And $50,000 is a lot of money — in fact, it’s more than many people make in a year. But there are some things money can’t buy. If anyone’s Constitutional rights as a citizen were infringed, it was Taylor. His daughter was 9 years old when he was sent to jail, meaning that he missed most of her formative years. He missed her wedding. He missed the birth of his grandson. Simply put, he was denied a chance to chase the American dream by the state that should’ve protected him. Maybe he would’ve created Google or found the cure for cancer. Maybe he would’ve been

a police officer and saved lives. Maybe he would’ve won the lottery. Maybe he would have been just another American. But even that is worth more than $50,000 a year. So is $50,000 enough for a year of your life, especially when the justice system hands out far larger judgements for people who get burned by McDonald’s coffee or are victims of medical malpractice every day? There should be automatic awards in cases such as Taylor’s. But in cases like his, the state is completely in the wrong and shouldn’t get a break. It wouldn’t give anyone else a break.

Don’t mess with Arizona

he Obama administration is challenging Arizona’s tough new immigration law, and that’s too bad. It’s not that the Arizona law is good policy, because it isn’t. And it’s not that President Obama doesn’t have a better idea on immigration reform, because he does. Democrats should know that they play with fire by going after a law that reflects the public’s utter frustration with illegal immigration. You can see the calculations flashing in the party advisers’ heads: The Arizona law lets local police demand the immigration papers of people stopped for some alleged infraction. Hispanics see this as opening the door to racial profiling, and rightfully so. One can easily imagine overzealous law officers demanding the documents from any brown-skinned pedestrian caught jaywalking — or whom they say was jaywalking. The Latino giant has long been poised to make a grand entrance into American elections, especially in the Southwest. What better way to get out this vote than by accusing Republicans of animosity toward Latinos? The Arizona law has already done some energizing. Polls on the Texas governor’s race, for example, show Republican Gov. Rick Perry’s former 8-point lead over Democrat Bill White shrinking to a tie. Shifting sentiment among Hispanics seems to be the cause. Give this trend a bigger kick by suing Arizona, the advisers may say. But this began before the suit against Arizona, making the strategy unnecessary as well as potentially dangerous. Democrats seem to think that Latino voters will thank them for going to the mat against Arizona and that other voters won’t notice. But pitting one group of voters against others along racial lines is unattractive — and could spark a white backlash. ... Obama supports the excellent bipartisan plan put together by New York Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer and South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham. It combines a path to citizenship with a secure form of biometric identification, which would make it impossible for illegal aliens (and employers who want their cheap labor) to play games with counterfeit documents. Add to that an administration willing to prosecute employers who break the law, and the illegal immigration problem is basically solved. ... Serious federal enforcement is also a key step toward the comprehensive reform that Democrats and many Republicans say they want. ... The politics of reforming immigration are not really complicated. National polls consistently show a large majority against illegal immigration. ... ... Many respondents may not care much for the details in the Arizona law, but after decades of seemingly open borders, they may feel it’s the only law they have. It’s up to the Obama administration to change that impression. The president can do that by leaving Arizona alone and promoting an effective and humane immigration policy going forward.

That kind of assertion could get you in trouble with Chappell’s adoring poetry fans who think of him always as North Carolina’s Poet Laureate, even though his term ended in 2003.

Today’s Prayer

Some of us raised in North Carolina may have grown up years ago with young men who couldn’t wait to turn 21 and apply for the North Carolina Highway Patrol. Some of us may even have known young men who grew up in the patrol and eventually gave their lives in the line of duty. While all law enforcement service is hazardous and deserving of our respect, those who wore the gray and black of the Highway Patrol and who were known as state troopers commanded a special presence when among us. But during the last several years, the image of the SHP -- both here and among law enforcement nationally -- has been tarnished. It is time for that situation to change. So let us hope that during the 23 minutes Gov. Bev Perdue spent Wednesday with the patrol commander she appointed and about 160 of the agency’s supervisors that she clearly laid down the law. Perdue explained during a press conference after the meeting that she told supervisors what “the new normal” in the patrol would be: “If you betray your oath, you will be dismissed.” Perdue also said after the meeting, “I don’t believe that since some of these men and women were sworn in 22 years ago that anybody has ever dared get in their face and say that ethics code is a litmus test for your job.” Certainly, we realize it is a small minority of troopers who have put the patrol in a bad light recently. But let’s hope all members of the patrol take this opportunity to rededicate themselves to that ethics code and to rebuilding and repairing the patrol’s image. As for Perdue’s directive to Patrol Commander Col. Randy Glover and Secretary of Crime Control Reuben Young to provide her with a plan within 60 days to restructure the patrol’s leadership, perhaps that could begin with changes to the extent that politics is or can be involved in the patrol’s administrative structure and promotions. In fact, reports persist that years ago as a legislator, Perdue intervened to have Glover’s name added to a promotions list to lieutenant. They both deny that. Perhaps, state leaders should examine the patrol’s procedures for promotions with a special eye toward detecting and removing political influence. Perhaps then, the patrol’s ethics code would become more meaningful to every trooper from top to bottom in rank. — High Point Enterprise

Angus Kelly reportedly saw the incident from the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking lot and came to the aid of his wife, clerk Grace Kelly.

Artistic Director Jennifer Starkey said she was drawn to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pirates!â&#x20AC;? because it had more opportunities for male actors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really entertaining,â&#x20AC;? Starkey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having a good time. Not only are they doing well, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re enjoying themselves.â&#x20AC;?

half mile from the scene. He had sustained a gunshot wound to the face. Dennison, 18, and Mack, 20, were charged with two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and first degree kidnapping. Mack was charged the following day with two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and first degree kidnapping as well. All three were jailed in the Moore County Detention Center under a $250,000.00 secure bond and are scheduled to appear in court on July 15.

Starkeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logic seems to have worked. One actor she recruited is Travis Koltermann, 14, making his Star Community Theatre debut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I play Whitebeard,â&#x20AC;? Koltermann said, wearing a hook on his hand, a wild white wig and age lines etched on his face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the oldest and wisest pirate of them all. Everyone looks up to him.â&#x20AC;? During the short rehearsal process, Starkey said she has seen the cast and the directors grow. The production involved a mentoring program in which student directors mentored the actors, and the older actors also mentored the younger actors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely tough with a bunch of little ones, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really good,â&#x20AC;? Shelby Anderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a mentoring program for us but for everyone involved. Everyone helps each other out.â&#x20AC;? The most rewarding part of the process for choreographer Katie Riffe, 15, has been seeing the routines she created come to life before her eyes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks one way in my head, but seeing them do it makes me really proud,â&#x20AC;? Riffe said. Francis sees more potential in the cast than just the ability to have the proper shoes on time. He said he encourages Lee County residents to see â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pirates!â&#x20AC;? because it could be a once in a lifetime experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the next generation of Hollywood and Broadway stars,â&#x20AC;?

ticed for hours before they left in 100-degree temperatures on the high school track. During practice, attention to detail is crucial: each glide-step must be smooth and the upper body must be held steady, and every member of the band has to be marching to the same beat. Mornings were spent memorizing music, then it was outside for marching practice despite the sweltering sun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be in band, you have to have the right attitude â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dedication and the willingness to come in and work hard,â&#x20AC;? Hill said. Even on the hottest days, 99 percent of the band consistently

United Continued from Page 1A

Looking at the growing needs all around, they stepped forward with a bold idea: Why not create one united outreach to help neighbors overcome poverty, poor education and other obstacles to a more successful life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a more vibrant community. The United Way of Lee County was born. Back then, it was called the United Fund, but the organization established way back then remains a vital part of the community today. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the United Way and a lot has changed in our world since then. The fall of the Soviet Union has eased nuclear tensions and the civil rights movement changed hearts and minds. Still, people everywhere face difficult circumstances, which is why the United Way has remained a vital part of the community. Back in its first year, the United Way of Lee County raised more than twice its inaugural campaign goal of $21,145. As more businesses have become involved in the effort, that campaign goal has grown several times over. The result: United Way partner agencies are doing great things in our community. Last year alone, using contributions from the United Way and other sources, the Christians United Outreach Center distributed nearly 500,000 pounds of food.

showed up for practice, Hill said. That paid off on July 4. The 140 band members got to do more than just march. They made the rounds to the memorials, then saw fireworks behind the Washington Monument on the Mall. Now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back to work for the Marching Vikings. They enjoyed their time in the national spotlight, but football season is looming and they have their halftime show to practice. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably play the patriotic medley from the parade at least a few times before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retired, Hill said. And for Nolan Lea, marching in the band has led him to his future career path: he plans to go to college to become a music teacher and teach band himself one day.

WANT TO GO? What: Business After Hours will concide with the United Way of Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual campaign kick-off (United Way celebrating its 50th year in Lee County) When: 5-7 p.m. Aug. 5 Where: Depot Park, Sanford More information: RSVP by calling (919) 775-7341 or online at www. sanford-nc.com. The Helping Hand Clinic provided 14,000 prescription medications to their clients. The Boys and Girls Clubs served more than 1,000 local youth. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the tip of the iceberg. In all, the United Way of Lee County supports more than two dozen local agencies helping neighbors find food, housing, medical care, short-term financial assistance and all sorts of other assistance. Every dollar contributed in Lee County stays in Lee County, just as it has been since the old United Fund was launched five decades ago. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milestone will be celebrated on Aug. 5 with a special event in Depot Park to kick off the United Way of Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golden Anniversary Campaign. Festivities begin at 5 p.m. with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Business After Hoursâ&#x20AC;? reception sponsored by First Bank and offered in partnership with the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce. The celebration continues well into the eve-

ning with a free outdoor concert featuring the band RN5P, which drew a huge crowd last year with its popular show featuring beach music and classic rock. The familyoriented event begins at 7 p.m. and is part of the Function at the Junction summer concert series sponsored by Downtown Sanford Inc. Events that evening are as much a statement of community support as they are the beginning of an important fundraising campaign. All of the organizations participating in the kickoff celebration work with the United Way regularly to improve civic life. From its founding in Troy, First Bank has remained a hometown-oriented operation involved in the communities where it does business, Downtown Sanford has joined forces with the United Way in various projects and RN5P is comprised of United Way supporters who offered to open this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign. Everyone knows the challenges weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all facing today with a struggling economy and conflicts still lingering around the world. But what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned throughout the last 50 years is that when our community joins together â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when people LIVE UNITED â&#x20AC;&#x201D; everyone enjoys a better life. So circle Aug. 5 on your calendar now and plan to attend the 50th anniversary celebration. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a great time and perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll even be inspired to help improve our own small piece of the world.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY

STATE BRIEFS

Legislators to close by Saturday

Perdue spokeswoman Chrissy Pearson confirms Perdue has discussed the possibility with Robertson but no formal offer has been made. The governor met Wednesday with 160 patrol supervisors across the state, demanding an end to a string of embarrassing ethical lapses. But she made no leadership changes. Perdue probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to replace patrol commander Col. Randy Glover with Robertson because state law requires that the commander come from within the agency. Robertson would not talk about the potential move.

Alcoa seeks footage from UNC-TV report

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alcoa Inc. has filed a public recordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request seeking the footage and records used in a North Carolina public television report about the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations on the Yadkin River. Alcoa Energy President Rick Bowen said Friday the company wants to know who influenced the content of the piece aired by UNC-TV he believes was biased. A reporter for the public television station prepared a story on the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations on her own time. Alcoa is seeking renewal for a 1958 federal license to operate four dams along the river despite closing its nearby plant.

Fort Bragg hospital to get new commander FORT BRAGG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fort Braggâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital is getting new commander. Col. Brian Canfield will take command of Womack Army Medical Center Friday at a ceremony on Fort Bragg. He replaces Col. Rolando Castro Jr., Womackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief of staff who has been serving as interim commander since April. Womack Army Medical Center serves the largest beneficiary population in the Army with more than 200,000 soldiers, families and retirees. The hospital gets about 95,000 outpatient visits, 750 surgeries and 300 births a month.

Commissioners want to remove Bladen sheriff

ELIZABETHTOWN (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Commissioners in a North Carolina county say they want to remove the interim sheriff they recently appointed. The Fayetteville Observer reported the attorney for the Bladen County commissioners says they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the authority to fire interim Sheriff Earl Storms, who was sworn in Tuesday. Commissioners planned to meet Friday night to discuss other options for removing Storms. Beyond asking the sheriff to resign, the board has no leverage under state law to force him out. The board had hoped Storms would bring the department together after a divisive Democratic primary last month. But Stormsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first act this week was to dismiss Lt. Eric Bryan, the losing candidate in the primary runoff, along with four of his supporters in the agency.

Special Forces welcome 133 new Green Berets FORT BRAGG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; More than 130 new Green Berets will graduate capping what has been more than a year of training from some of them. The 253rd Special Forces Qualification Course class will graduate Friday during a ceremony at the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville. The soldiers are trained to be Special Forces officers, medics, engineers, weapons experts, and communication specialists. They will join the five active duty and two national guard Special Forces groups. Command Sgt. Maj. Charles Sekelsky, the incoming top noncommissioned officer for Special Operations Command Europe, will be the graduationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guest speaker.

Governor Perdue considers Highway Patrol oversight

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s governor is considering new oversight of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beleaguered Highway Patrol. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Gov. Beverly Perdue is talking with Mike Robertson, the commissioner of the state Division of Motor Vehicles.

began May 12 would be the fewest since 1996. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has been very little wrangling this time around,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Jim Crawford, D-Granville, who first joined the House in 1983. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried real hard to make things flow well.â&#x20AC;? But other lawmakers were unhappy with the hectic pace of the sessionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final days, when significant bills are sent to the floor for final votes by using parliamentary procedures that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow senators to review the legislation closely in committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always like this at the very end where some of this stuff that probably shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come out, does come out,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Bob Rucho, R-Mecklenburg, who was unhappy with the handling of an oil spill liability bill Thursday. The eight-week session was marked by passage of a nearly $19 billion budget June 30 that attempted to save public school teachers jobs this fall and temper reductions in the University of North Carolina system. The bill contained neither additional broad tax increases nor pay raises for state employees. Republicans who voted in the minority for the budget argued it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prepare the state enough for a $3 billion shortfall next year and contained too few tax breaks for small business. Lawmakers also gave final approval to reforms of the Alcoholic Beverage Control system and banned computer-based sweepstakes games showing up in parlors and Internet cafes statewide. Perdue will have until Aug. 9 to consider these and dozens of other bills awaiting her signature. She can veto a bill or allow a bill to become law without her signature. Barring a veto-override session or special session, the adjournment will essentially end the 42-year legislative career of Sen. R.C. Soles, D-Columbus, who is considered the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest continuously serving lawmaker.

Lawmakers vote for tax breaks

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The General Assembly worked largely behind closed doors Friday to finalize key ethics and economic incentives bills before House and Senate leaders close the session for the year, probably by early Saturday. The two chambers recessed for several hours while a handful of lawmakers holed up in conference rooms seeking compromises on competing bills. Leaders also are tying to agree on the details of legislation to let police take DNA samples of people when they are arrested on serious charges. The final details on ethics, campaign finance and government reform package probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be worked out until Friday evening, said Senate leader Marc Basnight, D-Dare. The two sides werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in accord on how to reduce the perception that campaign donations affect how elected officials appoint board and commission members or make contract decisions. The package expected to be approved by lawmakers and sent to Gov. Beverly Perdue also will make it a felony to give $10,000 or more in illegal campaign contributions in a single election, expand information state agencies must make public about employees and expand ethics law coverage and lobbyist waiting period to cover more state employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have strong laws today but not strong enough,â&#x20AC;? Basnight told reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These just give clarity and create a transparency that should have occurred.â&#x20AC;? Democrats in both chambers reached a compromise on an economic incentives bill that expands the size of tax breaks to the film industry and creates preferential tax treatment for green-friendly tenants in industrial parks. One more House vote was required early Saturday. Basnight said the

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina legislators are split over the perks offered to businesses that create jobs, trying to balance the offers when unemployment in the state is stubbornly high. Among the last tasks of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Assembly session were approving bills extending or expanding incentives for businesses. Included in the tax breaks passed Friday are big technology companies who want to build data centers as well as oyster shell recyclers, and film and television producers. Several lawmakers said they were holding their noses as they voted to increase inducements for companies willing to bring jobs to North Carolina, saying they only approved them because they feared employers would look elsewhere if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Lawmakers back using trash for power RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina lawmakers are backing a renewable energy project that could employ 1,000 on the polluted grounds of a former textile-dye manufacturing plant in Mecklenburg County. The Senate voted 44-0 for final approval Friday on boosting the value of electricity generated by the project which includes a biomass power plant and a solar farm. The measure allows power produced at ReVenture Park to count triple toward the requirement that stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s utilities use or produce electricity from renewable sources. State law requires electric companies to get 3 percent of the power they sell from renewables by 2012. Forsite Developmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tom McKittrick said all of Mecklenburg Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s household garbage will be turned into electricity. The project is on 670 acres along the Catawba River.

House consider changes to prayer rules WINSTON-SALEM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lawmakers plan to review procedures for guest chaplains in the state House after one pastor complained that he was asked not to refer to Jesus. House Speaker Joe Hackney and Minority Leader Paul Stam said they plan to make sure the House rules on prayers are constitutional, multiple media outlets reported. The Rev. Ron Baity of Berean Baptist Church in Forsyth County was invited to give the opening prayer at House sessions during the week of May 31.

governor told him Friday the film breaks she sought to make North Carolina more competitive with other states werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t generous enough, but a Perdue spokeswoman said later the . Legislators didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remove a limit on tax rebates beyond the first $1 million of a movie starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary for a North Carolina-based production. The future was unclear on competing House and Senate legislation requiring police to take DNA samples of people when they are arrested on serious charges and a separate Senate bill setting new rules corporations must follow to report political activities

in light of a U.S. Supreme Court decision. But the House and Senate agreed late Friday afternoon in separate votes to create a new state regional commission formed in response to the controversy over dams owned by Alcoa Inc. along the Yadkin River Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delays were in sharp contrast to an eight-week session largely marked by its swiftness and largely. The Legislature passed and Perdue signed a budget bill approved before the new fiscal year began July for the first time since 2003. And the number of calendar days since the session

NATION BRIEFS

Feds: Oil leak could stop by Monday By TOM BREEN Associated Press Writer

NEW ORLEANS — The BP oil leak could be completely contained as early as Monday if a new, tighter cap can be fitted over the blown-out well, the government official in charge of the crisis said Friday in some of the most encouraging news to come out of the Gulf in the 2½ months since the disaster struck. Crews using remotecontrolled submarines plan to swap out the cap over the weekend, taking advantage of a window of good weather following weeks of delays caused by choppy seas. “I use the word ‘contained,’” said retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen. “’Stop’ is when we put the plug in down below.” Two relief wells are still being drilled deep below the seafloor to intercept the ruptured well and seal it up permanently with mud and cement, a job that may not be completed until mid-August. The cap now in use was installed June 4 to capture oil gushing from the bottom of sea, but because it had to be fitted over a jagged cut in the well pipe, it allows some crude to escape into the Gulf. The new cap — dubbed “Top Hat Number 10” — is designed to fit more snugly and help BP catch all the oil. During the installation, the gusher will get worse before it gets better. Once the old cap is removed, oil will pour

Workers continue to clean up the oil on the beach at Port Fourchon, La., Thursday. into the Gulf unhindered for about 48 hours while the new one is put in place, Allen said. BP also worked on Friday to hook up another containment ship called the Helix Producer to a different part of the leaking well. The ship, which will be capable of sucking up more than 1 million gallons a day when it is fully operating, should be working by Sunday, Allen said. The government estimates 1.5 million to 2.5 million gallons of oil a day are spewing from the well, and the existing cap is collecting about 1 million gallons of that. With the new cap and the new containment vessel, the system will be capable of capturing 2.5 million to 3.4 million gallons — essentially all the leaking oil, officials said.

(

The plan had originally been to hook up the Helix Producer and install the new cap separately, but the favorable weather convinced officials the time was right for both operations. “Everybody agrees we got the weather to do what we need,” Allen said. He said the calm weather is expected to last seven to 10 days. The past 80 days have seen the failure of one technique after another to stop the leak, from a huge containment box to a “top kill” and a “junk shot.” The latest approach is not a sure thing either, warned Louisiana State University environmental sciences professor Ed Overton. “Everything done at that site is very much harder than anyone expects,” he said. Over-

ton said putting on the new cap carries risks: “Is replacing the cap going to do more damage than leaving it in place, or are you going to cause problems that you can’t take care of?” Containing the leak will not end the crisis that began when the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform exploded April 20, killing 11 workers. The relief wells are still being drilled, and a monumental cleanup and restoration project lies ahead. Some people in Louisiana’s oil-soaked Plaquemines Parish were skeptical that BP can contain the oil so soon. “Too many lies from the beginning. I don’t believe them anymore,” oyster fisherman Goyo Zupanovich said while painting his boat at a marina in Empire, La.

Wholesale inventories rise in May, sales fall WASHINGTON (AP) — Inventories held by wholesalers rose for a fifth consecutive month in May but sales fell for the first time in more than a year, sending a cautionary signal about the strength of the recovery. Wholesale inventories increased 0.5 percent while sales dropped 0.3 percent, the Commerce Department said Friday. It was the first decline for sales since March of 2009. The May sales decline is the latest sign that the economic recovery could be losing momentum in the second half of the year. Weakness in sales could discourage businesses from boosting their orders. That would translate into a slowdown in factory production. Businesses helped spur the recovery by rebuilding their inventories after slashing them during the recession. The gross domestic product expanded at a 5.6 percent rate in the final three months of last year, largely because of the swing in inventories. The trend in inventory rebuilding continued in the first quarter of this year, but at a more modest pace. That was among the reasons growth slowed to 2.7 percent.

Cops to probe cold cases for connection to killer LOS ANGELES (AP) — Investigators are re-examining more than 30 cold case files to see if they can be tied to a suspect in the “Grim Sleeper” killings, the police chief said Friday. The cases, dating back to 1984, will be scoured for leads in light of new information gleaned since Wednesday’s arrest of Lonnie Franklin Jr. Investigators will upload Franklin’s DNA profile into a national database to see if it matches other samples where the DNA had degraded and scientists only were able to get a partial sample, Beck said. Franklin was dubbed the Grim Sleeper after a string of murders of young black women had south Los Angeles on edge in the mid-1980s. Then the killings suddenly stopped, only to resume again 14 years later.

and capsized, leaving two young Hungarians missing. Authorities did not immediately confirm whether the body was that of 20year-old Szabolcs Prem. He has been missing since Wednesday’s accident, which also claimed the life of 16-year-old Dora Schwendtner. Her body was recovered early Friday nearly two miles downriver from the accident site. The second body surfaced from beneath a salvage barge after crews raised the amphibious tour boat from the river bottom and the barge began hauling it away. A police boat pulled the body on board about a block downriver from where it surfaced.

ROY ROGERS

E-BRIEFS

Auction offers Trigger’s remains By EVA DOU Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — The smell of horses and hay permeated the marble-floored galleries at Christie’s in Manhattan Friday as potential bidders previewed items including the preserved remains of movie cowboy Roy Rogers’ famous horse Trigger. The auction house is selling items from the now-closed Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum in Branson, Mo., next Wednesday and Thursday. Unlike the fine furniture, paintings and jewelry that Christie’s is famous for, the centerpiece of this auction is a stuffed and mounted horse rearing on its hind legs. It also will feature another type of horsepower — Rogers’ 1964 Bonneville convertible adorned with collectible silver dollars, its door handles and gear shift replaced by silver-plated pistols. The car is estimated to draw $100,000 to $150,000. Trigger is expected to fetch $100,000 to $200,000. Other items for sale include: Rogers’ and Evans’ performance outfits; the preserved remains of Rogers’ dog, Bullet; about 60 pairs of cowboy

Gil Perez, right, a doorman at Christies auction house, wears an outfit and holds a guitar belonging to Roy Rogers as he stands alongside the preserved remains of Rogers’ horse “Trigger” and dog “Bullet” at the New York auction house. Christie’s held a preview Friday of an upcoming auction of items from the now-closed Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum in Branson, Mo. boots; the Rogers family dining table; and the Jeep “Nellybelle” from the Roy Rogers TV show. Michel Bettigole, 70, a prospective buyer who attended the preview, called Rogers one of his heroes and said he grew up watching him chase down bandits on the big screen. “But there was never any violence,” he said. “He always shot the gun out of the bad guy’s hand. It was good morals.” Hundreds of items will be offered for sale,

many of them with estimated prices in the low hundreds. Hand-drawn music for the theme song “Happy Trails” has a presale estimate of $300 to $500. So does a grouping of two Rogers’ guitars. Bettigole was skeptical about some of the estimates. “A Roy Rogers watch that Roy Rogers wore for $400? Forget about it!” he said. Cathy Elkies, Christie’s director of iconic collections, said the estimates are based on the intrinsic

values of the items, but prices could go much higher. “What someone wants to pay for something Roy Rogers had, that’s the wild card,” she said. Christie’s has been overwhelmed with calls from everyone from museum representatives to Roy Rogers fans who wanted a piece of the King of the Cowboys, said Linda Kohn-Sherwood, who is helping oversee the sale. Part of Rogers’ appeal was his charitable image outside the studio. He and Evans adopted several children and started a foundation for children in need. “They were the Brad and Angelina of the time,” Kohn-Sherwood said. Near the entrance at Christie’s Friday, doorman Gil Perez, 58, got to be the famous cowboy for a day. Perez wore one of Rogers’ red, embroidered performance shirts and toted a Roy Rogers guitar as he welcomed visitors to the gallery. He said he got his lucky break because he was about the same size as Rogers. “I’m so honored, because I grew up watching him,” he said. “But there’s no way I’m trying to imitate him, because there’s only one Roy.”

J-Lo cancels controversial north Cyprus show NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Jennifer Lopez called off a controversial birthday show in the breakaway north of Cyprus, provoking celebrations Friday by Greek Cypriots while Lopez Turkish Cypriots denounced the move. The furor over a luxury hotel inauguration showed how easily bitter rivalry can flare up between Cypriots across the ethnic divide, even as the two sides are locked in fruitless peace talks. Reports that Lopez would perform at a hotel in the breakaway Turkish north on her 41st birthday this month triggered a Greek Cypriot online campaign pushing for cancellation. Greek Cypriots viewed Lopez’s July 24 appearance as helping legitimize the Mediterranean island’s violent division. Cyprus was split into a Greek speaking south and a Turkish speaking north in 1974 when Turkey invaded following a coup by supporters of union with Greece. Turkish Cypriots declared an independent state in 1983 that is only recognized by Turkey, which maintains 35,000 troops there. Both sides have come closer in recent years, but hopes are fading that long-drawn peace talks can reach a reunification deal any time soon.

The competition closes July 23, with a winner announced July 26. Boyle, 49, became an overnight sensation last year after her rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” on the TV show “Britain’s Got Talent” was viewed millions of times on the Internet. Her debut album has sold more than 9 million copies.

Site posts Mel Gibon’s alleged racist, sexist rant LOS ANGELES (AP) — A celebrity website has posted audio of a recording it says is Mel Gibson engaging in a racist and sexist rant toward his exgirlfriend. The recording posted Friday by RadarOnline.com includes segments in which a man’s voice that sounds distinctively like the Academy Award-winner is heard telling his then-girlfriend, Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva, that she looks like a “whore.” The man then uses the N-word. The website reported that the recording was made by Grigorieva. The former couple are engaged in a bitter custody dispute, and the singer has accused Gibson of physical abuse. Detectives are looking into her claims. RadarOnline has been posting transcripts of audio it says it obtained of Gibson ranting and threatening Grigorieva, but Friday’s post is the first time the actual recording was released.

Russian plane believed to be carrying candidates for a 14-person spy swap, is seen at Moscowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Domodedovo airport, on Friday. The plane carrying the colours of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations is thought to have flown from Austria on Friday, following an exchange of spies between Moscow and Washington. the 10 Russian agents hiding in suburban America for over a decade informed the president it was time to start planning their arrests, according to two White House officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the White House. What was known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the illegals programâ&#x20AC;? had been first brought to the White Houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention months before, in February, triggering weeks of meetings about how and when to proceed, the officials said. It became clear in early June that at least two of the Russians were making plans to leave the U.S., meaning the whole operation now had to be rolled up more quickly than originally thought. The timing of the arrests was deliberated with Obama on that June 11 Friday afternoon in the Oval Office, along with the expected charges for the individuals and the potential impact on Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freshly â&#x20AC;&#x153;resetâ&#x20AC;? relationship with its former Cold War rival. Also considered, the officials said, was the matter of what should happen afterward. One of the recommendations was to propose a swap to Russia. The arrests were not

U.S./RUSSIAN RELATIONS

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It took less than month for the largest U.S.-Russian spy swap since the Cold War to unfold from an idea secretly hatched in the Oval Office to reality on a remote stretch of Vienna airport tarmac. The whirlwind exchange took place Friday in a choreographed script of spy novel intrigue. Two planes, one from New York, the other from Moscow, arrived within minutes of each other and parked nose-to-tail. Their passengers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 10 Russian sleeper agents arrested in the U.S. and four prisoners accused by Russia of spying for the West â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were ferried to each other, and the planes departed again just as quickly. The whole thing, a soundless drama seen only at a distance through camera lenses, took less than an hour and a half â&#x20AC;&#x201D; displaying the efficiency of this extraordinary new chapter in U.S.-Russian relations. The 10 Russian agents who had blended into U.S. communities, including Anna Chapman, the woman who had caught Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fancy with her Facebook photos, soon landed in Moscow. And four other Russians accused of spying for the West headed the other way, two of them arriving at Dulles International Airport outside Washington at the end of the capitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workday. Their chartered aircraft, a maroon-and-white Boeing 767-200, had stopped briefly at a southern England air base, where a U.S. official said two of the four were dropped off before the plane continued across the Atlantic. The swap idea was Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, first raised with President Barack Obama nearly a month ago when the FBI and Justice Department officials who had been watching

planned to facilitate such a trade, said a separate U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss matters of intelligence. But since the Russian agents had never penetrated the U.S. government, it seemed Washington could benefit more from using them for barter than as prisoners to be locked up for years. The president approved. Thirteen days later, Obama hosted Russian President Dmitry Medvedev at the White House for the first time, the two chummy over hamburgers in nearby Arlington, Va., and showing off a rapport to reporters that would have been unthinkable during the nationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; diplomatic low points. But transparency goes only so far. Though preparations for the arrests were moving forward â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and would take place just three days later â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Obama kept quiet, the White House officials said. At that point, White House aides and their counterparts from several agencies, including the CIA, FBI, Justice and the State Department, were meeting early every morning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;too early,â&#x20AC;? complained one aide â&#x20AC;&#x201D; via

secure videoteleconference. Shortly after the June 27 arrests, CIA Director Leon Panetta provided Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spy chief, Mikhail Fradkov, the names of four prisoners being held in Russia that the U.S. wanted to free, the officials said. This was no draggedout negotiation. By the following Saturday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the July 4 holiday weekend in the States and less than a week and three phone conversations after the arrests â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Panetta and Fradkov, the head of Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foreign Intelligence Service, had agreed to the deal by phone, the officials said. A flurry of bureaucratic wrangling followed. Russia required signed confessions from the four in order to make way for pardons from Medvedev. And court appearances and plea deals were hastily arranged in the U.S. for the Russians. One U.S. condition of the swap was that the deal not be accompanied by any retaliatory steps against Americans. The officials also said that Washington got everything it asked for out of the case â&#x20AC;&#x201D; emphasizing that the U.S. didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for any prisoners beyond the four.

Minn. governor candidates candid about raising taxes ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; One Minnesota governor hopeful framed his open concession to raise taxes as his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Walter Mondale moment.â&#x20AC;? Another contender is fond of saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Read my lips: Tax the richâ&#x20AC;? and makes a pro-tax pledge in TV ads. Two others donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shy either from tax calls. At a time when the tea party and its had-enough message have politicians nationwide treading carefully, Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race stands out as a stark test of the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appetite for government services versus a willingness to pay for them. Voters will decide whether to veer left, a path that includes new taxes, or opt for another Republican vowing to rid the state of a budget deficit approaching $6 billion by attacking spending even more aggressively than departing GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty did in his eight years. Pawlenty blocked nearly every tax increase, but Democrats say the state canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on spending cuts alone. Minnesota is part of a cluster of Upper Midwest states featuring competitive governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s races, with Democratic-held offices up for grabs in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Suicide bombers kill 62, wound 111 in Pakistan PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A pair of suicide bombings killed 62 people Friday outside a government office in a region along the Afghan border where the Pakistani army and U.S. missiles have had some success in decreasing the number of

such attacks. The assault, which wounded at least 111 people, was one of the deadliest in Pakistan this year. There was speculation that the bombers were targeting antiTaliban tribal elders visiting the government office in the village of Yakaghund, part of the Mohmand tribal area in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northwest. The attackers struck within seconds of each other as two U.S. senators met with Pakistani leaders in the capital, Islamabad, to discuss their countriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cooperation in the fight against terrorism, much of it being waged in the lawless tribal belt bordering Afghanistan where al-Qaida and the Taliban have long had redoubts.

Authorities are investigating a report that Colton Harris-Moore, dubbed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barefoot Bandit,â&#x20AC;? has fled Great Abaco Island and was spotted on Eleuthera, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) to the south, two police officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly on the search. Bahamian National Security Minister Tommy Turnquest declined to comment. It was unclear how the 19-year-old fugitive might have escaped the island, but a powerboat was stolen in Marsh Harbour.

CLIFF LEE TRADED TO TEXAS FOR SMOAK SEATTLE (AP) — Cliff Lee is headed to Texas. The Seattle Mariners sent the ace left-hander and reliever Mark Lowe to the AL West-leading Rangers on Friday for first baseman Justin Smoak and three minor leaguers. It was the third trade in less than a year for Lee, who can become a free agent after this season. The 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner went 8-3 with a 2.34 ERA in 13 starts for the Mariners, who acquired him from the Philadelphia Phillies in December. Smoak is one of the top prospects in the majors, but the switch hitter batted only .209 in 70 games for the Rangers this season. Also coming from Texas is right-handers Blake Beavan and Josh Lueke, and infielder Matt Lawson. The Mariners were expected to contend for the West title this season but quickly fell off the pace. They had lost four straight before Friday night’s game against the New York Yankees and were 16 games out.

NBA BOBCATS, THOMAS AGREE TO $40M DEAL CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Bobcats have come to terms with forward Tyrus Thomas on a fiveyear, $40 million deal, ensuring the restricted free agent will stay in Charlotte. Agent Brian Elfus told The Associated Press on Friday that the deal came together after Thomas received interest from other teams. The New Jersey Nets had presented Thomas with an offer sheet. The Bobcats acquired Thomas in a trade deadline deal with Chicago in February. He averaged 10.1 points and 6.1 rebounds in 25 regular-season games with Charlotte and became the shot-blocker the team had been missing.

NFL PANTHERS SIGN ARMANTI EDWARDS

CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Carolina Panthers signed third-round pick and former Appalachian State quarterback Armanti Edwards to a four-year, $2.5 million contract. Edwards will get about $710,000 in signing bonuses. The Panthers are converting Edwards to receiver. He could also return kicks. Edwards is the only player in NCAA Division I history to pass for 10,000 yards and rush for 4,000. He led the Mountaineers to two national championships and a monumental upset of Michigan. Friday’s move leaves only two of Carolina’s 10 draft picks unsigned: second-round pick Jimmy Clausen and third-rounder Brandon LaFell.

McMurray wins pole at Chicagoland By CHRIS JENKINS AP Sports Writer

INDEX

MIAMI — Dressed in his new Heat uniform, LeBron James took a look at his new home crowd and grinned. The MVP has taken center stage in Miami. With 13,000 fans chanting “Yes We Did!” amid an atmosphere more suited to an awards show or rock concert than a basketball game, the Miami Heat welcomed the NBA’s newest trio of superstars Friday night for a celebration unlike just about any other in team history. James, Heat favorite Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all arrived accompanied by plumes of smoke, lifted into the air on a forklift for their grand arrival. Great fanfare. Great expectations. “It’s still surreal, man,” Wade said earlier. “Me, Chris and ’Bron. We ready. We want to go to the gym now.” Wade was in the middle as the trio was lifted skyward for the entrance — Bosh on his right, James on his left. Bosh pointed to the fans and screamed, while Wade aimed his index fingers at the crowd and James strutted about to the fans’ delight. They walked down the stairs to a long runway, slapping high-fives with fans, clapping their hands and soaking in the atmosphere. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the Heat contin-

JOLIET, Ill. — Finding speed hasn’t been a huge problem for Jamie McMurray this season. It’s the consistent results that have so far eluded him. McMurray won the pole position for Saturday night’s race at Chicagoland Speedway, turning a lap of 183.542 mph in his Chevrolet on Friday. It is the third pole of the season and sixth of his career for McMurray, who won the Daytona 500 in February but has been struggling of late.

“We’ve had good speed all year, and we haven’t been able to capitalize on enough good finishes,” McMurray said. “We’ve had good results. It seems like we either have a chance to win the race or we finish 30th, McMurray and we’ve got to get a little bit better, more consistent there. But again, the speed is the hardest thing to find.” McMurray said he and the No. 1 team concentrated on trying to run the low groove at the bottom of the track in practice. Based on

his observations of past races at Chicagoland, McMurray believes it will pay off in Saturday’s race. “I committed to running the bottom the entire practice, never got off of it,” McMurray said. “Even if the car didn’t quite have the speed in it, I just made my car handle well down there.” McMurray was followed in qualifying by the Chevrolets of Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart. Johnson planned to fly home to Charlotte right away to spend time with his wife and

Bobcats wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lay downâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for Heat By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stephen Jackson sent out a couple of messages on Friday, the day after LeBron James shook the NBA with his decision to form a superstar trio in Miami. First, vacation time should be over for his Charlotte Bobcats teammates now that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in perhaps the most powerful division in the league. Second, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t crown the Heat champions just yet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be great,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be good for basketball. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be good for the city of Miami. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be exciting for the game. At the same

time, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to go out there and win games just like every other team.â&#x20AC;? While he thinks James should have signed with Chicago or stayed in Cleveland and â&#x20AC;&#x153;showed a little more loyalty,â&#x20AC;? Jackson isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t backing down from the challenge of being in the same Southeast Division as a now stacked Heat team that also includes Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not one of those guys whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to lay down just because they put all those guys on the same team,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anybody on my team is going to lay down. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to come out and play. Everybody has respect for those guys, but at the same time you have

to win games to get respect on the court.â&#x20AC;? So far the Michael Jordan-owned Bobcats have lost ground in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a league-altering week of free agency. While Charlotte is hamstrung from making a splash because of salary cap woes, its rivals have made giant moves. None are bigger than what the Heat accomplished. The team that was fighting for playoff positioning with Charlotte late last season re-signed Wade, got Bosh and then were the winner in the LeBron sweepstakes when the two-time league MVP announced Thursday night heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bolting the Cavaliers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I were LeBron, I would have gone to

Chicago or I would have stayed home and showed a little more loyalty to my city and my team,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not LeBron. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best decision for him and everybody has to live with it.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when a defiant streak kicked in for Jackson after he mingled with kids at Jordanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantasy basketball camp at Time Warner Cable Arena. After averaging a team-best 21.1 points last season and leading the Bobcats to their first playoff berth, Jackson isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to slip into the background in a division that also includes Dwight Howard and Orlando, Atlanta with Joe Johnson and Washington with rookie John Wall and Gilbert Arenas returning.

GOLF ROUNDUP

SPORTS BRIEFS White Soxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peavy done for season

SILVIS, Ill. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As he chatted about his day at the John Deere Classic, Steve Stricker was reminded that he now held the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 36-hole record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So far,â&#x20AC;? he said with a smile. Stricker had good reason to be cautious because Paul Goydos, who had sent a buzz through the golf world by shooting only the fourth 59 in PGA Tour history on Thursday, was just starting his round. But the deft putting touch that had put Goydos in golfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most exclusive club deserted him Friday and he settled for a 68, leaving him one stroke behind Stricker, the defending champion, heading into Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third round. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reality kicked in today,â&#x20AC;? Goydos said. Clarke surges to big lead at Loch Lomond LUSS, Scotland (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Darren Clarke was nearly flawless in miserable conditions Friday in the Scottish Open, opening

ued working on ways to make sign-and-trade deals for both players, plus try to clear space for Udonis Haslem â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammate for seven seasons and someone the 2006 NBA finals MVP wants back for the next chapter. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three Kings,â&#x20AC;? Heat broadcaster Eric Reid called them as the program got under way an hour behind schedule, presumably because of the trade talks. Keys to the city were set to be awarded to each star, and Gov. Charlie Crist was in the stands, along with several city and county officials. Heat president Pat Riley â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the mastermind of the deals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and coach Erik Spoelstra sat in the stands, as did owner Micky Arison, all of them beaming. Fans were given posters with James, Wade and Bosh together in Heat uniforms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes. We. Did.â&#x20AC;? was the slogan in big white letters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and crowded around a runway surrounded by video screens and smoke effects. If Riley gets his way, the party will be the first of many for the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest star cluster â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a grouping everyone, even Wade, is still getting used to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I look around and see No. 6 and No. 1 on the court with me, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to see real,â&#x20AC;? he said. Until now, No. 6 meant Mario Chalmers, No. 1 meant Dorell Wright. Chalmers will be back (wearing No. 15, his college number, probably) and Wright still could return, but going forward those digits belong to others.

a three-shot lead as he looks to add to what already has been a banner year for golf in Northern Ireland. On a dreary day at Loch Lomond, Clarke chipped in for birdie on the tough 16th and holed a series of 20-foot birdie putts on the front nine for a 4-under 67, giving him the lead over Edoardo Molinari, who had a 69. Perhaps more impressive than being at 10-under 132 going into the weekend is that Clarke has made only one bogey â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a three-putt from 20 feet on the par-3 11th hole on Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; over his opening 36 holes. He has played cleanly in conditions that caused Phil Mickelson to take a quintuplebogey on the 18th hole, and Ernie Els to make consecutive double bogeys as he was trying to finish. They both missed the cut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t torrential, heavy rain. It was

bonus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualified all that well lately, so maybe six hours of sleep before qualifying is necessary over a couple of days to find the right rhythm,â&#x20AC;? he said. Now all Johnson and wife Chandra have to do is settle on a baby name.

just torrential rain,â&#x20AC;? Clarke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from Ireland, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a difference. We knew it was going to be very hard and the forecast was poor. It was just tough to play in it. Par was a good score on every hole. So being able to shoot 4-under, I was very pleased.â&#x20AC;? Rain halts play at US Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heavy rain that began with 100 of the 156 golfers still to begin or complete the second round has caused play to be suspended for the day at the U.S. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open. Play will resume at 7:30 a.m. Saturday at Oakmont Country Club, with the third round to begin with threesomes teeing off at 2:30 p.m. Normally, golfers play in pairs the final two rounds. Sophie Gustafson was the leader on the course at even par when play was halted, but she had completed only one hole of the second round.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting there,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just want to put some thought into it. Being as slow to make a decision as my wife and I are â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you should have just watched us try and go to dinner on Tuesday night â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it is difficult. There is a lot of pressure that goes with this. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a quick

With that, it was all up to James, who said he decided Thursday morning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hours before his madefor-TV announcement special that night â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d join the Heat and form a power triple. Turns out, some members of the Heat family had more than an inkling that James was coming long before that show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew this was going to evolve a while ago,â&#x20AC;? Heat executive Alonzo Mourning said Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew a long time ago. We did our due diligence on our recruiting trip, and we had a good feeling about this.

James will wear No. 6 instead of his usual 23. Bosh will don No. 1 instead of No. 4, Wade said, because he â&#x20AC;&#x153;wanted a new beginning.â&#x20AC;? And even Wade â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who considers his No. 3 sacred â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thought about switching his number as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I realized, three is magical, and now it represents more than just my number,â&#x20AC;? Wade said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It represents the three of us making sacrifices as well.â&#x20AC;? The jersey numbers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all that important. They just want the winning to be easy as 1-2-3. Wade and Bosh decided Tuesday that they would play together in Miami,

DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A person familiar with the situation says Kyle Korver is following Carlos Boozer from Utah to Chicago after agreeing to sign with the Bulls. The person spoke Friday on the condition of anonymity because the contract was not finalized and was not sure of the terms. ESPN reported itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a three-year deal for about $15 million. Korver is a career 41percent 3-point shooter who hit 59 of 110 last year while averaging 7.2 points. The Bulls were desperately in need of a shooting guard and now they have one.

Greg Biffle qualified fourth in a Ford, followed by Sam Hornish Jr. in a Dodge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to this weekend,â&#x20AC;? Hornish said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicago has been good to me in the past; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won a few races here and celebrated a couple (IRL) championships here.â&#x20AC;?

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; White Sox right-hander Jake Peavy is done for the season. The 2007 NL Cy Young winner will have surgery on a detached right shoulder muscle Wednesday and hopes to be throwing again by spring training. He said his career isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in jeopardy and he plans to be pitching again for the White Sox by early next season. The 29-year-old Peavy was hurt delivering a pitch Tuesday night in a game against the Los Angeles Angels. The team described the injury as a detached latissimus dorsi muscle. After an MRI exam Wednesday revealed the injury, Peavy consulted with several doctors, included renowned orthopedic surgeons Dr. James Andrews and Dr. Lewis Yocum. The consensus, Peavy said, was to have surgery.

Allmendinger said in comments issued through a Richard Petty Motorsports team spokesperson at Chicagoland Speedway on Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the hardest one on myself. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both passionate and we were both frustrated. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather have him (Petty) frustrated than not care at all. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve definitely moved on and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to pick back up here at Chicago.â&#x20AC;? Allmendinger had strong cars at both Daytona races but finished outside the top 30 both times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daytona is behind us and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focusing on this weekend,â&#x20AC;? team vice president Robbie Loomis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;AJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard-charging and fierce competitor and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as passionate as anybody out there.

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Boy cringes when parents talk of family finances DEAR ABBY: I’m a boy in eighth grade with a big problem. My parents constantly talk about their finances in front of me. We are not poor, but we’re far from rich. It bothers me when they talk about how much money they owe or if they’re in debt or not. I have asked my parents several times not to talk about money in front of me. However, they insist that I’m old enough to hear about it. I’m a natural worrier, and when they talk about financial issues it makes me think something terrible is going to happen to us. What should I do? — STILL A KID IN LINWOOD, N.J.

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Don’t be afraid to show your emotions. You have to be open and honest in your pursuits -- willing to push hard and not back down. There is so much you can accomplish personally and professionally this year. Spend your money wisely and invest in what you have to offer. Your numbers are 4, 11, 18, 20, 24, 48, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You need to evaluate your next move. Personal matters will escalate if you address them without thinking. Visit a friend who can help you get a better handle on your situation at home and at work. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Open-mindedness will be required in conversations with people from different backgrounds or beliefs. You will face limitations and frustrations if you let a problem with a friend, neighbor or peer disrupt your plans. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Stick to developing, presenting and promoting your ideas. The more involved you are in organizations that attract people from all walks of life, the easier it will be to turn something you have into a viable commodity. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Added responsibilities will cause you to miss out on an opportunity that can change your life. You need everyone working toward the same goal if you intend to be successful. Instead of fretting, take action. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take care of your finances. Don’t overspend on travel or luxury items. A love relationship will become emotionally challenging if you have been neglectful. Honesty and sharing will help to clear up misunderstandings. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Emotional blackmail must be dealt with quickly. Saying no will have an impact that will change the way you are treated

WORD JUMBLE

in the future. Anyone who doesn’t measure up should be considered a bad fit and a liability. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Reconsider your plans. If you feel you will end up in a dispute, it is best to take a pass and consider your options. Arguing will be a waste of time. Focus on yourself, hobbies and activities, even if it means doing things on your own. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Someone will try to push you to do something that isn’t a good fit for you. Your ideas are stellar and, if you can bring yourself to act on them, you should be able to make a profit and resolve an issue that has been holding you back. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Open up a discussion that allows you to divulge your intentions. It will help to clarify what you want and what will be offered in return. Problems while traveling or dealing with people from different backgrounds will arise if you renege on a promise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Give more time and affection to the ones you love and you can make great strides in your personal relationships. Looking at vacation properties or taking a day trip with the ones you love will lead to fun as well as enhance and encourage togetherness. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t follow what others are doing. You will know instantly whether someone is good for you or not. Protect yourself from slipping into the wrong frame of mind or giving in to temptations. The only road to take is the one moving in a positive direction. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The more time you spend enjoying the company of others, the better. You can gain respect and drum up interest in your personal and professional plans. Update your look or take care of some personal needs.

DEAR STILL A KID: One of the hardest things for many people to talk about is money — or lack of it. And yet, not talking about it can cause more problems than airing the subject. Your parents may be trying to educate you about finances because many schools don’t do it. But if it becomes too stressful for you, then leave the room. ooo DEAR ABBY: Although I don’t think my last name is a particularly difficult one, people often struggle with it when they go to write it after I say it. I understand this and it does not bother me. As a matter of habit, I routinely spell my name immediately after I say

you if you’d like me to ...” ooo

it, to assist the person who is writing it down. A security guard who works at a client’s building I visit a few times a year has reacted in a hostile manner because I spell my name when she asks for it. She may be under the impression that I think my name is beyond her capabilities — which isn’t true. Abby, is spelling my name condescending or disrespectful to someone in a business setting? Is my routine practice annoying or is the guard overly sensitive? — BILL “X” IN GEORGETOWN, DEL. DEAR BILL “X”: She may be overly sensitive or, because you have already spelled your name for her several times, she may be under the impression that you think she’s not very bright. Perhaps in the future you should modify your delivery: “My name is Bill ‘Xybleniwicz.’ I’ll spell it for

DEAR ABBY: For the past several years I have worked in a medical office. I see patients every three months or as little as once a year. Two years ago, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. She passed away last spring. Because of the stress of my dear mother’s illness and death, my weight has fluctuated. Some of my patients don’t hesitate to point out how “chunky” I have become. One woman even went so far as to ask if I was “happy with the way I have let myself go.” Abby, how do I defend my weight gain without getting into my personal life? — IMPATIENT WITH MY PATIENTS IN RHODE ISLAND DEAR IMPATIENT: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your mother. I’m sure the last two years have been painful. I see no reason why, if someone is so insensitive as to mention your weight, you shouldn’t let the person have the truth with both barrels. If that doesn’t shame him or her into an apology, nothing will. However, because you prefer to conceal it, try this response: “You know, I gained this weight the old-fashioned way — one bite at a time, and that’s the way it’ll have to come off.”

ODDS AND ENDS Seer sucker: Octopus oracle picks Spain to win BERLIN (AP) — There’s been plenty of ink for Paul the octopus lately, and why not? The octopus, also known as the “Oracle of Oberhausen,” has successfully predicted the winner of six World Cup matches so far. Now, Paul has forecast the winner of Sunday’s championship match. And rather than go out on a limb - or maybe eight of them — the critter is sticking with the favorite, picking Spain over the Netherlands. Handlers of the 2 1/2-year-old floppy octopus — a resident of the Oberhausen Sea Life aquarium - usually have him make predictions only for games in which Germany plays. But because of Paul’s recent worldwide fame and demand for his pick for the final, they made an exception. Here’s how the seer sucker makes his prognostications: Officials put a mussel inside each of two clear plastic boxes bearing the national flags of the teams in his tank. Paul then makes his choice by opening the lid with his tentacles and devouring one of the treats. Millions across Europe, in Taiwan and elsewhere watched a live TV broadcast Friday of his choice of Spain, complete with breathless commentary. He also predicted Germany over Uruguay in Saturday’s third-place game. Paul has gotten business proposals, has thousands of Facebook fans and even has the attention of world leaders. Animal rights group PETA wants him freed. Many Germans — upset that he correctly picked Spain over Germany in Wednesday’s semifinal — want him fried. “Paul is such a professional oracle - he doesn’t even care that hundreds of journalists are watching and commenting on every move he makes,” said Stefan Porwoll, the Sea Life aquarium manager. “We’re so proud

SUDOKU

MY ANSWER of him.” After his prediction of his home country’s loss came true, German TV showed footage of a grilled octopus. That prompted Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero to fret about the safety of “El Pulpo Paul,” as he’s known in Spain.

Ala. inmate playing role of escapee gets lost CAPSHAW, Ala. (AP) — The Limestone Correction Facility in Alabama might want to start handing out GPS devices with its prison-issued jumpsuits. Officials there say an inmate playing a fugitive during a dog training exercise vanished into the woods Thursday. Warden Dorothy Goode says 37-year-old inmate David Hopkins was helping out the canine unit by playing an escapee but never showed up for head count. A “be on the lookout” warning went out and Hopkins was found within about an hour. Goode says he got lost and was not trying to escape. He’s serving a life sentence for theft.

Man in buff startles drivers on California freeway LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Southern California commuters can now say they’ve seen it all, including a naked man in the middle of Interstate 405. California Highway Patrol Officer Monica Posada said the first call came at the height of rush-hour Thursday - a man with no clothes was in the center divide of the freeway. Then came a rush of calls reporting the man in the buff. Long Beach police detained the 21-year-old man and gave him a mental health evaluation.

Satan is very real & powerful Q: Does anybody really believe in the devil anymore? You wrote something in your column recently that made me think you did, but I thought that kind of thinking went out with the Middle Ages. -- R.C.L. A: It’s been said that one of Satan’s most successful strategies is to convince people that he doesn’t even exist. Another surely must be to make people believe that he is simply a harmless, comic character (with, for example, a pitchfork and a red suit). But neither of those is accurate -- for Satan is real, and he is very powerful. In fact, some would say he’s the strongest force in the universe, except for God. His goal is to block God’s purposes in every way he possibly can -- because he wants to take God’s place as the all-powerful ruler of the universe. The Bible describes his goal this way: “You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven.... I will make myself like the Most High’” (Isaiah 14:13-14). Yes, Satan is real -- and we see evidence of his evil workings every day. How else can you explain the irrational acts of violence and terrorism that ravage our world? How else can you explain the way we fall for his temptations -- although we know they’ll only bring us disaster? But the most important fact about Satan is this: He is a defeated foe. Yes, the battle continues -- but the final outcome isn’t in doubt, because by His death and resurrection Jesus Christ defeated death and hell and Satan. Some day, the final battle will be fought and Satan will be defeated forever. On whose side are you?
