OIL LEAKS FREELY AGAIN AS BP CUTS CAP OFF WELL Robotic submarines removed the cap from the gushing well in the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday, beginning a period of at least two days when oil will flow freely into the sea. It’s the first step in placing a tighter dome that is supposed to funnel more oil to collection ships on the surface a mile above.

SANFORD — When nine people were injured in a wreck on U.S. 1 this past Wednesday, it marked at least the third time in less than two years that two vehicles collided on the highway as a result of one of those vehicles traveling in the wrong direction.

FINANCIAL RELUGATIONS WOULD IMPOSE SWEEPING CHANGES

Founder says school grew out of a vision from God

Democratic leaders in the Senate are trying to secure the final votes needed to pass legislation this coming week that would impose the most sweeping rules on banks and Wall Street since the Great Depression. The financial industry and consumers already are anticipating — in some cases bracing for — the impact.

SANFORD — Erwin Pijpers and his family aren’t shy about showing their support for the Netherlands in today’s World Cup final. Anyone who wanders past their house can see their intense love for the team, with “Go Holland” spray painted in huge, bright orange letters across their front lawn with the red, white and blue stripes of the Netherlands flag underneath. Pijpers was born and raised in the Netherlands and has been a soccer fan since he was a child. This year marks the team’s third trip to the World Cup finals, but if they beat Spain, it will be their first win. “If they lose, it’ll be the first country ever to go three times and lose three times,” Pijpers said. “That’s not a record I’d be proud of.” Pijpers’ wife, Deidre, used to casually watch soccer matches with him, but

SANFORD — Carolyn Redding first stepped into the True Apostolic School of Theology because she found out her nephew was teaching a class. Two years later, she was valedictorian of her class and earned her associate degree in religious education. On Saturday, Redding was one of seven graduates to walk across the stage at the school’s first annual commencement exercises at True Apostolic Deliverance Center. As Redding addressed her class at the graduation ceremony, she encouraged them to take what they learned in the classroom about God’s message and spread it to others. “We have a goal to achieve, so let’s not stop here,” Redding said. “We made it, and we can go further.” Like Redding, graduate Nicole Buchanan was transformed by her experience at the school. As a member of True Apostolic Deliverance Center, she first signed up for classes to be supportive of the church, but she loved it so much she wanted to keep learning. “I think it made me step out of the box in terms of my understanding,” graduate Nicole Buchanan said. “I was kind of closed-minded but it opened my mind up.” Dean Sophia Bouknight said True Apostolic School of Theology was founded after God gave Samuel Thomas, the school’s president, a vision of a school where people could experience

This day in history: On July 11, 1960, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about childhood innocence and racial injustice in a small Southern town during the Great Depression, was first published by J.B. Lippincott and Co. In 1767, John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, was born in Braintree, Mass. In 1798, the U.S. Marine Corps was formally re-established by a congressional act that also created the U.S. Marine Band. In 1804, Vice President Aaron Burr mortally wounded former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton during a pistol duel in Weehawken, N.J. In 1859, Big Ben, the great bell inside the famous London clock tower, chimed for the first time. (The clock itself had been keeping time since May 31.)

NRC OKs Shearon Harris plan

WASHINGTON (MCT) — The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant’s adoption of a fire-protection plan that could set the stage for others to follow suit. The Shearon Harris plant, located in southwest Wake County, not far from the Jordan Lake State Recreation Area, was used as a pilot for the National Fire Protection Association’s “Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light-Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants� (NFPA 805). “Our approval marks an important milestone in advancing fire protection at nuclear power plants,� said NRC Chairman Gregory B. Jaczko. “While current fire protection regulations provide adequate protection, NFPA 805 enhances fire safety using risk insights. The agency has worked with recognized experts to incorporate an updated understanding of fire risks into our regulations through NFPA 805. This process gives nuclear power plant licensees more refined tools to comprehensively evaluate their fire safety measures and focus their resources where they will do the most good.� NFPA 805 describes how existing U.S. reactors can upgrade their fire protection programs by applying risk-informed, performancebased requirements and fundamental fire protection design elements. Under the NFPA 805 standard, reactor owners and operators perform engineering analyses to demonstrate their installed fire protection systems and features will meet specific fire protection and nuclear safety goals, objectives, and performance criteria. Plant owners must install additional equipment or take other measures if the analyses call for them. In the case of Shearon Harris, the NFPA 805 analysis led the plant to make several modifications, including installation of an additional fire detection system and an additional diesel generator. The NFPA issued the standard in 2001, and the NRC provided extensive opportunity for the public and the fire safety community to participate in the agency’s examination of the standard. The NRC incorporated the standard in 2004 as a voluntary alternative to existing fire protection regulations. Shearon Harris and the Oconee plant in South Carolina volunteered in

2005 to lead the industry’s pilot implementation program. Shearon Harris submitted its formal application to switch to NFPA 805 in May 2008. An additional 47 reactors at 31 sites, representing 17 utilities, have told the NRC they plan to adopt the NFPA 805 approach. The NRC expects other U.S. nuclear power plants will consider adopting this approach once the industry gains experience in implementing the standard. — The Herald-Sun

CHATHAM COUNTY

Food and Ag board seeks members HILLSBOROUGH (MCT) — The Orange County Board of Commissioners is currently looking for an Orange County farmer to serve on the Piedmont Food and Agriculture Processing Center Steering Committee. The project is a multi-county effort involving Alamance, Chatham, Durham, and Orange Counties, as well as Weaver Street Market and Whole Foods and is hailed by its organizers as an example of public-private collaboration in the Piedmont Region. The shared-use facility located at 500 Valley Forge Road will allow farmers and local food entrepreneurs in the Piedmont region to better compete in the emerging buy local, eat seasonal, farm-to-fork economy. This value-added processing center in Hillsborough is within a 1.5-hour drive of 15,378 farms in a 22-county area, nearly one-third of all farms in North Carolina, according to 2007 USDA statistics. Recently the center has been awarded $1,127,319 from five agencies, including the N.C. Tobacco Trust Fund, the Golden Leaf Foundation, N.C. Agricultural Development and Farmland Preservation Trust Fund, U.S. Housing & Urban Development -- Economic Development Initiative, and the Rural Advancement Foundation International USA -- Tobacco Communities Initiative. The center is scheduled to open in March 2011 and will provide a wide range of food processing equipment in a commercial kitchen. Planning includes business development education, especially for food-based businesses. The processing center should be financially sustainable in its third year of operation through the collection of user and program fees and from the fundraising effort of the nonprofit entity that will be formed to manage the center. — The Herald-Sun

Triathlon doubles its appeal NEW HILL (MCT) — The Triangle Triathlon’s move last year to Harris Lake County Park proved popular, perhaps too popular in terms of the parking available at the New Hill park. Competitor and event sponsor Cid Cardoso Jr. noticed the number of cars unable to find spots near the sprint triathlon’s Shearon Harris Reservoir’s starting point. Many families had to park three-quarters of a mile away, Cardoso said, a challenge for older and younger family members who came out to cheer on more than 1,200 competitors. According to registration figures provided by USA Triathlon, the Triangle Triathlon was the largest sprint-distance event in the state last year in terms of registered competitors. To limit the parking crunch this weekend and to make the popular event -- a 750-meter open-water swim followed by a 17.5-mile bike ride and a 5,000-meter run -- more accessible, the Triangle Triathlon has been

expanded into a twoday event, with the field (and race awards) split between one race this morning and another Sunday morning. “This is really an attempt to allow the same number of people to race and to help with the parking problem,� said Cardoso, an elite-level amateur triathlete and owner of Cary’s InsideOut Sports, a specialty store that sells running and triathlon gear. “Last year, we had a 1,200person race, and people parked inside, outside and at the Progress Energy facility. If you want to watch, you either have to come at the beginning, at 7:30, or you have to walk quite a bit.� This morning’s race is filled to capacity, with more than 800 registered participants, said Cardoso, who expects as many as 500 competitors for Sunday’s race. The Triangle Triathlon moved last year from Lake Crabtree County Park in Morrisville to Harris Lake County Park following years of participants’ complaints about the relative clean-

Chalmers McDougald and the Cameron Grove Church Family, for the use of your beautiful facilities. Tempting Congregational Church Family, for your full support and love. The Lee Brothers, and the choirs, who sang so beautifully, Mr. Tom Burch and the use of the Burch Center. J&L, the T-shirts are beautiful, Lula Knott’s and the ďŹ ne staff at Knott’s Funeral Home, who rendered such a ďŹ ne and professional service. Josh may be gone from our presence, but he will never be forgotten.

and even though I’m a lot slower than I used to be, I get a lot of support from everyone, and there are so many people that know me and cheer for me, and it’s just a lot of fun. I enjoy it a lot,� she said. Like Roggenbuck, Cardoso has been racing for a while -- 25 years, in fact. When he moved to the Triangle in 1991, he started participating in the Triangle Triathlon and eventually had Inside-Out Sports take over sponsorship of the event in 1994 when the race was losing money and in danger of disappearing. “In the early and mid’80s, triathlons were growing pretty well, and some of that was fueled by it being a fad,� he said. “It was triathlons, then it was roller blades, then mountain biking. The growth was steady until the mid-’90s, then it started losing money. I guess I’m pretty proud to say that we were able to save the race.�

Gone But Not Forgotten

The family of Josh (Beat Street) Buie, would like to thank all our family and friends, who rendered their support and showered us with so much love during our time of grief. Even if you were not there, but you just whispered a prayer, thank you. Josh was a loving young man, and it showed when the multitude of you all came to see about him and his family. We will be eternally grateful for all your acts of kindness. Our family are God fearing people; and we desire the prayers of the saints, as we seek God’s face and look to him for answers that only he can answer. With God’s Love, his inďŹ nite wisdom, and in his own time, we’ll know that Josh’s untimely death will not be in vain.

liness of Lake Crabtree. Longtime triathlete Sharon Roggenbuck, 71, did not compete in last year’s race because of a scheduling conflict, but she said she expects the new venue, near Progress Energy’s nuclear plant, to be an improvement. “The ‘92 race was the first one I did after we moved here, and since then I’ve missed very few,� Roggenbuck said. “This is the third location that the race has been in, and the [location] is new for me, too, but it’ll probably be better than swimming in Lake Crabtree. It was a pretty yucky lake.� Roggenbuck, who is participating in both triathlons this weekend, participated in her first triathlon in 1981. She swam sidestroke and used her daughter’s single-speed bicycle. Now, 19 years and mounds of triathlon gear later, she participates to stay healthy and to see old friends. “I’ll see a lot of people that I know, and like I said, I win my age group, the 70-74 group,

SANFORD WOMAN TURNS 103

‘God is our reason for living’ By CHELSEA KELLNER kellner@sanfordherald.com

Living to 103 means you can no longer fit enough candles onto your birthday cake. So Cassie Robinson had strawberries instead. Born on July 8, 1907, Robinson celebrated with cake and a choir performance at Sanford Health and Rehabilitation Center on Thursday. She is one of two centenarians at the center, with Braxton Knight, 99, about to join them in the triple digits in October. “I just thank God for being good to me. I didn’t think I would live to see my children grown, because I was sick all the time,” Robinson said. One of 21 children, Robinson was born in Moore County when Teddy Roosevelt was president, and settled in Goldston with her husband, George Baxter Robinson, to start a

tobacco farm after they married. The couple had eight children. Cassie helped out in the fields, then cleaned the house and cooked dinner. “She’s a really good example of a very strong, Southern woman,” grandson Baxter McDaniel said. “She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. She can find something good to say about anybody.” Robinson’s husband died in 1980, and she lived on her own until she was 97, daughter Jessi McDaniel said. She is the proud grandmother of 104 grandchildren, greatgrandchildren and greatgreat grandchildren—and one great-great-great grandchild. “I can’t count them all,” Robinson said, laughing. For her birthday, the McDaniels brought Robinson a clip-on fan for her bed, as well a new dressing gown and pink velvet slippers with pink bows on the toes, a tradition in their family. The

Jubilee Choir, of which Robinson is a former member, performed at the center in her honor. A bigger party with family from across the country is planned for today. Living 100 years means experiencing history. Robinson saw Annie Oakley fire her gun. Knight can recall marching with his National Guard unit in Franklin Roosevelt’s inaugural parade, and seeing the president ride past in his car. Knight says he has no secret for living so long. “As far as I’m concerned, my birthday is just another day, but I understand there will be a party,” Knight said. “I have no advice to give anybody—just take it one day at a time.” Robinson has a different point of view. “Live right and do good and do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” Robinson said. “God is our reason for living, period.”

Sanford man dead in May. After an inquiry from The Herald this week, and official from the North Carolina Department of Transportation said Friday the department will review recent fatalities on U.S. 1 and will look into whether “improvements” need to be made. “They will investigate the trends in that area,” said Angela Greenfield, an N.C. DOT spokesperson. “We’ll get those accident reports, start an investigation and see if there’s anything we can do to improve that area.” Improvements, if it’s decided they’re needed, may involve anything from signage to blocking entrance ramps that would allow people to access U.S. 1 from the wrong direction. The Herald has requested accident reports from the Sanford Police Department involving wrong-way collisions on U.S. 1 in recent years. Those reports could take days to acquire, a spokesperson told The Herald Friday. A rundown of the most recent wrong-way collisions on U.S. 1: n Sept. 18, 2008 Not long after the U.S. 421 Bypass connected with U.S. 1, an elderly woman died in a head-on collision about 500 feet from that highway’s off ramp on U.S. 1. It was never determined how long the woman had been driving the wrong way before her car collided with a pickup truck owned by DeVere Construction Company

of Apex. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The male driver of the truck was pinned in his vehicle and had to be pulled out by rescue workers. He was flown to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill, where he treated and released. n May 14, 2010 A 48-year-old Sanford man traveling the wrong way on U.S. 1 on the night of May 14 collided with a truck driven by a 17-yearold Sanford high school student, killing both men instantly. Anthony Boswell of Sanford was heading southbound in one of the two northbound lanes on U.S. 1 when his vehicle slammed into LCHS junior Josh Britt’s vehicle near the Wicker Street ramp around 10:30 p.m. The initial accident report, which included a witness’ testimony, stated Boswell’s vehicle was stopped in the lane with its lights out, but an investigation later determined Boswell’s vehicle was traveling the speed limit, as was Britt’s. The initial investigation also suggested Boswell was under the influence drugs or alcohol. A toxicology report is yet to have been released to confirm or deny that. n July 7, 2010 A wrong-way wreck on Jefferson Davis Highway south of Sanford left nine

people with “bumps and cuts” and blocked off southbound traffic for more than an hour. The accident occurred around 11:45 p.m. this past Wednesday when a driver in a minivan turned north onto the highway from Carthage Street, crossing into the southbound lanes and striking another van, said Trooper W.M. Johnson. The wrong-way van was carrying five passengers from New York and the other vehicle was carrying four passengers from North Carolina. Johnson said all nine were transported to Central Carolina Hospital in Sanford, although no injuries were life-threatening. The minivans collided near the highway and Keller-Andrews Road southwest of Sanford, he said. U.S. 1 rides like an interstate from Raleigh to the northern portion of Sanford, but unlike an interstate, the highway encounters stop signs and intersections near Tramway and into Moore County. The most recent incident occurred near the Carthage Street intersection, which contains two lanes going each way, a stop sign for traffic entering U.S. 1 from Carthage Street and a yield sign for traffic leaving U.S. 1 to enter Carthage Street.

JOHNSTON COUNTY

Medical supplier may build distribution center FOUR OAKS (MCT) — Becton Dickinson is reportedly sweet on Johnston County. The publicly traded medical-device maker is considering building a warehouse and distribution center in the Johnston County town of Four Oaks. Local and state officials previously have said an unnamed company wants to build thefacility, which would create 74 jobs and give a boost to a long-delayed industrial park off Interstate 95. The N.C. Rural Economic Development Center recently awarded a $737,958 grant to the town of Four Oaks to

Four Oaks Mayor Linwood Parker said he hasn’t been told the name of the company that is being recruited by economic officials under the code name “Project Pumpkin Pie.” A deal to lure the company could still fall apart, and BD officials could choose another location. BD is already a major Triangle employer. The New Jersey-based company began operations in Research Triangle

Park in 1972 and now employs more than 700 people in RTP, Durham, Burlington and Mebane. The company also is building a manufacturing facility in Wilson that’s expected to employ 90 people. BD makes a range of medical products and supplies, including syringes, pipettes, tests to detect cervical cancer and more. For its last fiscal year, BD reported revenue of $7.16 billion. Officials with BD, Johnston County, and the N.C. Department of Commerce declined to comment or did not return calls seeking comment on Friday.

Now that he’s seen his own students graduate, he said he hopes they continue their education and give insight to others about God. “It gives them a good foundation to know God for themselves, and how to read and understand and break down the Bible,” Kinney said. In her commencement address, Mary Gilmore of Bethel Bible College encouraged the graduates to be watchmen for God’s people and to put forth 200 percent of their effort into their work. “You can’t stand before God and say, ‘I didn’t know,’ because you’ve been taught well,” Gilmore said. As the graduates move on to the next step in their religious education and spiritual experiences, Bouknight said she hopes they take what they learned at True Apostolic School of Theology and apply it wherever they go. “We’re not looking so much to fill this church,” Bouknight said. “Your ministry is wherever you are.”

SUNDAY THUMBS THUMBS UP Bravery will not go unnoticed The story of 78-year-old Angus Eugene Kelly’s brave and selfless act of taking on armed robbers on his own to protect his wife — a Moore County convenience store clerk — took a turn for the worse Friday when Kelly died from his injuries suffered at the hands of one of the shooters. Kelly died at UNC Hospitals as a result of injuries sustained during the robbery and shooting at the Short Stop in Lakeview on June 28. On that night, Kelly waited outside of the store in the parking lot as he had done

most nights when his wife, Grace Kelly, worked the closing shift at the small store. A Moore County Sheriff’s report states that Kelly got out of his sport utility vehicle and grabbed his shotgun when he noticed three to four men robbing his wife. Surveillance cameras show him pointing the gun at the robbers. Witnesses say he didn’t fire first, but when fired upon, he shot one of the alleged gunman in the face. Both Angus and Grace Kelly

were injured in the ensuing shootout. Grace recovered at a Moore County Hospital. Angus lost his battle Friday. If there’s any comfort, it’s in knowing that the four men allegedly involved are behind bars. There’s also comfort in knowing that men like Angus Kelly exist ... men who wait in parking lots in case the worse happens ... men who take on danger face-to-face when other’s lives are at stake. We hate that there wasn’t a happier ending to all of this. Or condolences go out to family and friends of the Kellys.

THUMBS UP Quite a show on the Fourth There are many who’d love

to see the City of Sanford bring back fireworks as part of the annual Fourth of July tradition here. An effort has even begun to raise the money to put on an annual show again — money jars were seen during the Family Fourth Festival at Depot Park last Saturday. And we’d like to see it happen, too ... but if it doesn’t, Sanford shouldn’t be too disappointed as long as the Ammons family is still around. As they’ve done for several years, the family used the giant pasture next to Sanford

Health & Rehabilitation on Farrell Road (near the Raleigh Exec Airport) to put on a 20to 30-minute fireworks show. Only this year, the event was heavily publicized through social networking and newspaper ads. By our estimates, a few thousand people parked in the pasture and pulled up alongside the two-lane country highway to watch a pretty good show. Those who arrived early were treated to a country music band. The entire event had a great “American” feel to it ... and no matter what the city’s fireworks future has in store, we hope the Ammons continue their show as well. It was worth the short country trek.

RE: PIZZA PLACE CONSIDERS ‘CHEESUS CRUST’ MONIKER I have tried the pizza places in Sanford and they are nothing like a New York style pizza. If LaVonne Yount pizza’s is better then the other shops in Sanford, I am sure they will have a successful business. As far as the name ... this could also be a considered as a Christian witness. By the way, I hope you make a good lasagna. — serwedes

Dear fellow Sanfordites: This is an offensive name and should be given the utmost rethinking before this is made a representative of our Christian community. As for me, I will never patronize this pizza store which offends me. Come now ... the city permitting agency should speak with the owner to appeal to their moral sensabilities. God bless America, and America bless God. — louapa

RE: CIVITAS POLL SHOWS TIGHT RACE FOR DISTRICT 51 Where does the left-leaning Public Policy polling firm say the race is headed? Surely they have polled the races across North Carolina. After all, they are based in North Carolina. They must not have good news for their liberal democrat cohort Jimmy Love. If they did, it would be publicized. — dchris46

I have watched most of the city council meetings and sending Mike Stone’s constant and consistent NO vote to Raleigh would be a huge mistake for the people of Lee County. He needs to have an idea of what he stands for and not only wnat he stands against. Other than the usual GOP talking points. — trabold01

This poll was conducted by Survey USA, a very reliable polling firm. It was only commissioned by Civitas. For anybody willing to do a little homework about polling firms and their accuracy and median polling errors, they will find that Survey USA is one of the most accurate polling firms. The 2008 pollster report card ranks them above Zogby, Rasmussen, Public Policy Polling, Quinnipiac and other well known polling firms in terms of accuracy. Don’t shoot the messenger when you don’t like the message. — TruthSeeker2010

Critique from a font nerd From all of the fallout of the big Lebron James announcement this week — what? you haven’t heard? the God of basketball is heading to Miami ... go ahead and hand them the title — the one thing that sticks out as the most ridiculous is the letter from Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert. Gilbert was James’ boss for seven years in Cleveland, and like nearly every Cavs fan out there, Gilbert was hurt to see James not only leave, but make the big announcement on national TV during the primetime slot ... as if ditching Cleveland wasn’t bad enough, he had to do it in front of millions. In the history of bad moments in Cleveland sports — and trust me, there have been many — this was near the top (only the Browns leaving for Baltimore ranks worse). But instead of taking the high road and looking to the future of his franchise, Gilbert wrote an online rant — much like something you’d see a bitter girlfriend write hours after being dumped before prom night. In his letter, he called James a narcissist, a betrayer and a coward. Look it up online ... it’s pure gold. Hardly something you’d expect from an adult ... much less one that runs multi-million-dollar NBA franchise. Perhaps the letter’s single greatest quality, however, isn’t the wording (which, like I said, is fantastic), but the font Gilbert chose to write it in. He had to have known that because of the content of his letter, it would get national if not worldwide attention. So it’s baffling that for such a serious tone, Gilbert chose the most ridiculous font to express his feelings. That’s right folks ... Gilbert broke out the comic sans. To show you how odd his choice was, I’m using comic sans for the next few paragraphs of this column. Note that the lettering looks as if it belongs either in a comic book (hence the name) or on a birthday party invitation for your 5-year-old son. Of course, I’m not the first person to mock Gilbert’s font choice. I’m not even the 300th. CNN columnist John D. Sutter wrote a great piece about the letter Friday, revealing the history of comic sans — invented in the 1990s by typographic engineer Vincent Connare, who simply “wanted a font that was more ‘fun’ than the rest.” As Sutter reports, comic sans has gone on to become one of the most hated fonts in existence, and there’s even a website, bancomicsans.com, dedicated to “the widespread inappropriate use of the font.” OK, back to Utopia ... the font of choice at The Herald. According to myfonts.com, Utopia was invented in 1989 and “combines the vertical stress and pronounced stroke contrast of eighteenth-century Transitional types like Baskerville and Walbaum with contemporary innovations in character shapes and stroke details.” I bet some of you didn’t know such descriptions existed. I bet most of you don’t care. Well, I did and I do ... then again, I’m a font nerd, which is why the Gilbert letter intrigues

Billy Liggett Sanford Herald Editor Contact Billy Liggett by e-mail at bliggett@sanfordherald.com me so much. As a newspaper editor and designer, I deal with fonts on a daily basis. Few know the agony we went through in picking the right fonts when we did a complete overhaul of the design at The Herald back in 2008. There are hundreds of thousands to choose from, and the right font can bring a headline and even a story to life more than you may realize. We went with Utopia as our main “text” font ... in other words, the font you read the majority of stories in. It’s also used for the majority of our headlines. It’s a rare font that can work well with both serious and light stories ... bolding it give it a “newsier” appeal, while italicizing it can make it lighter. Am I nerding you out yet? Well, get used to it. Our main headlines — usually the thicker and larger on a typical front page — contain a font called erbar. We go with erbar for “heavier” stories ... government or crimes. On today’s front page, the headline about the wrecks on U.S. 1 is in erbar. It’s a “sans serif” font, meaning it does not have the little features called “serifs” at the end of each “stroke.” In English, it means at the top of a lower case “b,” it doesn’t have a little curl. Sans serifs are typically used for headlines, but we also use them for our briefs (that one’s called arial). The untrained eye can probably look at 50 similar fonts and not tell the difference in any of them. I, on the other hand, can probably name half of them on the first try. It’s really that sad. But I won’t bore you with font history any longer. Anybody who’s ever had to create a document with multiple fonts can attest to the tough choices that are made to pick the right “style” that correctly illustrates what you’re trying to say. Which is why, going back to the Gilbert letter, “comic sans” was such a ridiculous choice to make. Were I the Cavaliers owner, I would have chosen a clean sans serif, such as arial, and in the parts where he uses ALL CAPS (another font no-no), I would have simply brought out the “bold.” For emphasis, heck, I might have even italicized a bit. Then again, I wouldn’t have written the letter to begin with. It comes off as bitter ... and somewhat childish. That said, perhaps comic sans was the perfect choice.

A constitutional amendment now almost certain to be on the November ballot will ensure, if approved, that no felon serves as a county’s highestranking law-enforcement officer. The proposed amendment has passed both the House and Senate and does not need the governor’s signature. It need only pass muster with the U.S. Department of Justice before it can go before the voters. For a few years now, there has been some small interest on the part of good-government advocates to add such an amendment to our state constitution. But it took the possibility that a felon could actually win a sheriff’s post to spur the legislature to act. This May, there were six felons running for sheriff on primary ballots, including Gerald Hege, the former sheriff in Davidson County. All six lost. There is something to be said for the North Carolina Constitution’s recognition of restored rights and privileges. When felons finish their prison sentences, their debt to society is paid. They should be able to return to society and try to make a new life for themselves. Such tolerance with regard to convicted felons can go only so far, however. Sure, they should be able to vote. But someone who has broken the law as flagrantly as a felon can never be fully trusted to respect the law. And, even if there were individual exceptions to that law, the public and other officers would have a hard time accepting them as such. Some will argue that the public, by voting a person with a prison record into office, has made an informed decision. But that is not necessarily so. Any number of scenarios can be envisioned in which the felon wins the job by default. It is also entirely possible that someone’s criminal background could go undetected until it was too late. With it emblazoned in the constitution that such a person cannot be sheriff, the odds of it happening become much smaller. When voters go to the polls in November, they will very likely pass this amendment overwhelmingly. It simply makes too much sense, and we wonder why it wasn’t part of the constitution already.

Stunt season

To mock a hero

F

T

rying to make news over the holiday weekend and trying to avoid the attention being paid to the latest gaffe from Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele (who is “the gift that keeps on giving,” according to former Democratic National Committee Chair and Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell), Republican leaders put out the story that the president needs to take a trip to the border to see just how dangerous it is. The only thing that could be more of a stunt than his taking that trip is the Republicans’ call for him to do so. However dangerous the border is — or isn’t — the president would certainly not find out by going there. It’s the job of the Secret Service to see to that. The Mexican gangs who have been killing each other, the irresponsible coyotes who take people’s money and risk their lives — you can be sure they wouldn’t be anywhere near the president. Immigration reform is not going to ‘Immigration pass in this reform is not Congress. going to pass in Everyone knows this Congress. that. A Everyone majority of knows that.’ Democrats support legislation to address both border security and the status of the 11 million people who live in this country but do not have papers: undocumented residents, as Democrats call them; illegal aliens, as Republicans prefer. But a majority of Democrats is not enough to pass anything in the Senate. There is not a single Republican vote there right now for doing what former Republican President George W. Bush tried to do just a few short years ago. And with no Republican support, nothing will happen. The president is giving speeches about immigration not because he is pushing a bill, but to explain to Hispanic voters why he isn’t. The Republicans are making a fuss about a trip to the border not because they really want the president to go, but because they want to lay people’s fears about border violence on the president’s doorstep. This is not about policy, not at all. This is about politics. Most stunts are. If you’re for comprehensive reform, you talk about providing a path to legalization. If you’re against it, you talk about amnesty. Most people believe in the rule of law: that people who come here legally, who follow the rules and wait their turn, should be at the head of the line. Why reward those who violate the law? Then you tell them the story of a mother whose children were born in the United States, who are themselves citizens, whose oldest son is serving our country in Iraq and Afghanistan, and they say yes, well, that’s different. You tell them the story of young adults who came here as children and have lived their entire lives in this country, who are working hard, going to school, paying taxes, and they agree that of course we should not deport the high school valedictorian because his parents brought him here “illegally” as a child. It’s easy to wrap ourselves in the rule of law in the abstract. It’s much harder when you hear stories — like the stories of so many of our grandparents and great-grandparents — of people who came to this country because they wanted a better life for their children, who worked hard and obeyed the law and paid their taxes and risked their lives so they could cut our grass or care for our children and offer their own children a better life. The only way to address the immigration issue fairly is if we can put partisan politics aside, stop posturing, stop scoring points with language and stunts, and try to work together on a solution. That won’t happen in an election season, no chance. But let’s at least say no to all the stunts — and stunts about stunts.

Founders’ vision T

he celebration of our founders’ 1776 revolt against King George III and the English Parliament is over. Let’s reflect how the founders might judge today’s Americans and how today’s Americans might judge them. In 1794, when Congress appropriated $15,000 to assist some French refugees, James Madison, the acknowledged father of our Constitution, stood on the floor of the House to object, saying, “I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.” He later added, “(T)he government of the United States is a definite government, confined to specified objects. It is not like the state governments, whose powers are more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government.” Two hundred years later, at least two-thirds of a multi-trillion-dollar federal budget is spent on charity or “objects of benevolence.” What would the founders think about our respect for democracy and majority rule? Here’s what Thomas Jefferson said: “The majority, oppressing an individual, is guilty of a crime, abuses its strength, and by acting on the law of the strongest breaks up the foundations of society.” John Adams advised, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” The founders envisioned a republican form of government, but as Benjamin Franklin warned, “When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.” What would the founders think about the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2005 Kelo v. City of New London decision where the court sanctioned the taking of private property of one American to hand over to another American? John Adams explained: “The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If ‘Thou shalt not covet’ and ‘Thou shalt not steal’ were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society before it can be civilized or made free.”

Walter Williams Syndicated Columnist Williams is a professor of economics at George Mason University.

Thomas Jefferson counseled us not to worship the U.S. Supreme Court: “(T)he opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.” How might our founders have commented about last week’s U.S. Supreme Court’s decision upholding our rights to keep and bear arms? Justice Samuel Alito, in writing the majority opinion, said, “Individual self-defense is the central component of the Second Amendment.” The founders would have responded “Balderdash!” Jefferson said, “What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.” George Mason explained, “(T)o disarm the people (is) the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” Noah Webster elaborated: “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed. ... The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive.” Contrary to Alito’s assertion, the central component of the Second Amendment is to protect ourselves from U.S. Congress, not street thugs.

ifty years ago Sunday, a novel hit Americaís bookshelves that changed the way millions thought about race and the inexplicable South. Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird,” by some estimates the most-read book in American schools, has grown old enough to have become slightly dotty in the minds of fresher readers, many of whom have only a textbook understanding of the way things were. Indeed, it is fashionable to dis, as we now say, the great and humble Lee, a writer so without vanity that she has declined all attention to herself since the publication of her novel in 1960 and continues to live quietly in her hometown of Monroeville, Ala. As a heroine herself, she deserves to live out her days without having to hear the din of critics wielding hindsight as virtue. Yet lately, Lee’s famous and only novel has earned special scorn as critics opine about the way things should have been, not only in real life but also in the artistic treatment of the era. Writing a story in the Jim Crow South about a white lawyer who defended a black man against a charge of raping a white woman was an act of courage, make no mistake. And though Atticus Finch, the protagonist-lawyer, might seem bland by today’s standards, it is unfair to label him a paternalistic defender of the status quo, as Malcolm Gladwell did last year in The New Yorker. Gladwell, who marvelously describes culture in ways that cause us to blink in recognition of tipping points and wish to be outliers all — not to mention forcing us to embrace a newly coined vocabulary without which we are helpless to address the zeitgeist — is perhaps less attuned to the ways of fiction. With all due respect. For “To Kill a Mockingbird” is a story — a parable designed to move hearts and minds — and not a manifesto for radical action. Yet this is what Gladwell and others would have preferred. Gladwell, who finds common cause with George Orwell’s criticism of Charles Dickens, wishes that the author had made Finch a man sufficiently outraged by racial injustice to seek systemic change, rather than merely be a decent sort willing to defend a black man wrongly accused. Orwell similarly criticized Dickens, who, he complained, never offered solutions to the problems he illuminated. (This has a familiar ring.) But isn’t it a lot to ask that the artist, in addition to exposing societal disease, also cure it? Walker Percy, another Southern novelist and my muse in such matters, said that the artist’s job is to be a diagnostician — “to give the sickness a name, to render the unspeakable speakable.” That “art is making; morality is doing.” “This is not to say that art, fiction, is not moral in the most radical sense — if it is made right. But if you write a novel with the goal of trying to make somebody do right, you’re writing a tract — which may be an admirable enterprise, but it is not literature.” In July 2010, we might be more comfortable with an Atticus Finch who was less compassionate toward his racist neighbors. In explaining people and events to his young daughter, Scout, Finch noted that these were not bad people (even though some did want to commit violence against blacks), just misguided. From where we sit today, this attitude is both ludicrous and offensive. One can’t distill “not bad” from what is clearly bad. But, then, who is to say that Lee thought otherwise? ... Remember, too, Finch was trying to explain a hateful world to a child in terms familiar in the church-going South: Hate-the-sin, love-the-sinner. My own recollection of the book, which I first read as a child, was that it was full of hard and ugly truths. The story, because it was revealed through the eyes of another child, caused me to understand injustice as no textbook or lecture ever could. ... To kill a mockingbird is a sin, Finch told his children, because it brings no harm to others. “They don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us,” a neighbor further explained. Likewise, trying to kill a great book because a 50-year-old literary character doesn’t measure up to modern critics’ idea of heroism is a sin. All Harper Lee ever did, after all, was sing out her heart for us.

STATE BRIEFS

Session adjourns; ethics bill passes By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — North Carolina legislators had to work nearly all night to complete the shortest “short session� in recent history, capped by anticipated changes to ethics, campaign finance and open-records laws. House Speaker Joe Hackney and Senate leader Marc Basnight gaveled down the session at 5:32 a.m. Saturday with a predawn ceremony inside the Legislative Building, completing a work schedule that began more than 19 hours earlier Friday morning. The number of calendar days in the “short session,� held in evennumber years and starting May 12, was the fewest since 1996. “We’ve done the things we wanted to do, and we’re out,� said House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman, D-Davidson. The two chambers met their highest priority after the budget bill shortly after 3 a.m. when the House gave unanimous approval to an ethics and government reform bill worked on for months. The Senate earlier approved the bill with only one no vote. The measure toughens penalties for illegal campaign donations above $10,000, requires board and commission members to account for campaign fundraising activities for elected offi-

cials who appointed them and expands personnel information that must be released to the public about state employees. The bipartisan measure is the latest response by lawmakers and Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue to a series of corruption and campaign finance investigations over the past decade. Dramatic ethics and lobbying changes were approved in 2006. “It does more for transparency and open government than in any set of changes that have been made since I’ve been here at the General Assembly,� said Rep. Deborah Ross, D-Wake, a four-term House member and bill negotiator. It failed to contain a requirement sought by the House that state vendors be limited in donating to the political campaign of someone seeking a Council of State office with authority to award a contract. Instead, the Legislature’s ethics commission will study the issue of reducing the perception of “pay-to-play� politics, which good-government advocates labeled as a setback. “Overall, the ethics bill does a lot of good,� said Bob Phillips with Common Cause North Carolina, but “I think it’s important to have guidelines for contractors.� He called the lack of such language “disappointing.� The bill doesn’t go as far as media groups want-

ed on requiring government agencies to provide more information about the work history of public employees, including the letter explaining why a worker was fired. The public and media only have been able to receive a snapshot of a person’s employment, with limited information that makes it difficult to learn about misconduct by workers. Senate Minority Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, the only lawmaker to vote no on the package, said it was a good bill but he had wanted the measure to provide the reasons why a worker was demoted or suspended. The media reached a long-standing goal in the package by giving outlets and citizens a better chance to collect attorney fees when a judge orders a government body to release public records. Before leaving, the two chambers gave final approval to a pair of economic incentives bills that include film industry credits sought by Perdue and attempts to recruit a handful of unnamed companies by commerce officials who could bring 1,200 jobs to the state. A House debate in the wee hours on final legislation requiring police to take DNA samples from people when they are arrested on serious charges became heated as several members said requiring the sample upon arrest amounts to unreason-

able search and seizure and would unfairly target black residents. Attorney General Roy Cooper has said having more samples in the state DNA database would help solve dozens of crimes by locating repeat offenders. Convicted felons already must give samples. “Hopefully, one of our first hits will exonerate someone in prison currently who has been wrongly imprisoned,� Rep. Wil Neumann, RGaston, one of the bill sponsors, said before the bill was approved 83-21. The Senate also OK’d the bill by a wide margin. On party-line votes, the Democratic-led Senate and House gave final approval to new rules corporations must follow to report political activities, in light of a U.S. Supreme Court decision that removed a prohibition on corporate giving to support or oppose a candidate. Legislative leaders keep focused in even-numbered years on adjusting the second year of the two-year budget, and 2010 was no exception as budget-writers began working in April to close a $800 million spending gap. The budget bill was passed on time for the first time since 2003. Basnight, D-Dare, said the session will be marked by “the efficiency of members working together. That being said, there was no money to argue over where one should expend funds. It was more where you could cut.� Lawmakers also gave final approval to reforms of the Alcoholic Beverage Control system and banned computer-based sweepstakes games that resemble casino games. Perdue will have until Aug. 9 to consider these and dozens of other bills awaiting her signature. Barring a veto override or special session, the Legislature won’t meet again until a new group of 170 elected lawmakers arrive in January.

Police: Man kills pregnant girlfriend, 2 kids

Judge wants investigation of former prosecutor

DALLAS (AP) — A 25-yearold North Carolina man shot and killed his pregnant girlfriend and two of the couple’s children before committing suicide, and another child survived after being shot in the head, police said. The Gaston Gazette reported Friday that the shootings happened in Dallas, about 25 miles east of Charlotte. The father, Austen Blake Minter, shot the woman and kids in the kitchen of their home sometime between midnight Thursday and 1 p.m. Friday, said Gaston County Police Capt. Joe Ramey. Another child, 7-year-old Destiny Minter, was recovering at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, Ramey said. Ramey says the father, Austen Blake Minter, shot the woman and kids in the kitchen of their home sometime between midnight Thursday and 1 p.m. Friday. The victims were identified as Tracy Lee Hedgepath, 24; Austen Blake Minter II, 6; and Serenity Tyvon Minter, 3. Their bodies weren’t found until Friday night, after Hedgepath’s parents called 911 because the woman hadn’t shown up for work at Kmart. Police said she was three months pregnant.

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — A judge wants the North Carolina Bar to investigate a former prosecutor after the judge said his testimony in a convicted killer’s appeal was not credible. The Greensboro News & Record reported that Judge Richard Doughton on Friday denied the appeal by death-row inmate Errol Duke Moses. But Doughton ordered court files related to Moses’ case and a transcript of a March hearing in his appeal sent to the State Bar to determine whether there were any ethical violations in how former prosecutor Vince Rabil handled the case. District Attorney Jim O’Neill said there are no plans to review Rabil’s work as a prosecutor. Rabil now works as a defense attorney specializing in capital cases. Rabil did not immediately return phone and e-mail messages Saturday.

Pedestrian hit, killed by passenger train HILLSBOROUGH (AP) — A pedestrian has been hit and killed by an Amtrak passenger train in North Carolina. Orange County Emergency Services dispatchers told multiple media outlets that no one on the train was injured when the pedestrian was struck at 12:45 a.m. Saturday. The person was hit on tracks that run under Interstate 85 south of Hillsborough about 40 miles northwest of Raleigh. Officials have not released the name of the person who was killed. The Orange County Sheriff’s Department is investigating.

Engineers hold open house for new lock project WILMINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is holding an open house in North Carolina to unveil construction plans for a lock and dam project on the Cape Fear River. The Corps of Engineers Wilmington District will show the plans Saturday in Riegelwood. The project will improve dam safety and conditions for endangered fish species near Lock & Dam No. 1. The lock and dam is located 39 miles above Wilmington and was built in 1915. Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the first part of the project costs about $3 million and is set to be completed in March. Workers have already built a trestle to transfer rock for the project from dump trucks onto barges for placement into the river. Canoes and kayaks will be able to transit the area on a very limited basis.

FINANCIAL REGULATION

New rules, big changes coming for financial world By JIM KUHNHENN

Online

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Big changes are in store for the financial world from a government crackdown more than a year in the making. Democratic leaders in the Senate are trying to secure the final votes needed to pass legislation this coming week that would impose the most sweeping rules on banks and Wall Street since the Great Depression. The financial industry and consumers already are anticipating — in some cases bracing for — the impact. Banks might see their bottom lines suffer. Lenders will have to disclose more information. Borrowers will have to prove their ability to repay. The masters of high finance will find it harder to sidestep regulations. Government watchdogs will be under orders to look more suspiciously at risky behavior. Not all the changes will occur overnight once Congress gets the legislation to President Barack Obama. Throughout the 2,300-page bill, federal monitors are given one to two years to write the new rules of the road for Wall Street. In some instances, the timing isn’t even specified. Diana Farrell, deputy director of the White House’s National Economic Council, says some adjustments already are under way as big banks re-examine their trading business

Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington. and prepare for a new oversight system that will require them to write their own funeral plans in the event of failure. “There is some immediate impact,� said Scott Talbott, senior vice president at the Financial Services Roundtable, an industry group representing some of the bigger banks in the United States. “But it will take about two years before the full impact is felt, before the uncertainty starts to dwindle.� “Overall,� said Travis Plunkett, legislative director of the Consumer Federation of America, “starting with the consumer regulations, this is landmark legislation.� Votes on the bill have broken along highly partisan lines. The House passed it June 30 with only three Republicans voting in support. It needs 60 votes in the Senate. Majority Leader

Harry Reid, D-Nev., delayed a final Senate vote until after the July Fourth holiday because of the death of Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., and hesitation from three Republicans who previously had supported the legislation. One of those Republicans, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, has since announced her endorsement. The other two Republicans — Sens. Scott Brown of Massachusetts and Olympia Snowe of Maine — said they wanted to study the bill over the holiday break. Both have indicated the bill is more to their liking after House and Senate negotiators dropped a plan to impose a $19 billion tax on large banks and hedge funds to pay for the bill. Also, Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., who had voted against a Senate version of the legisla-

tion in May, has said she will now vote for the bill. But a fourth Republican who supported the Senate version — Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa — has reservations about the alternative financing mechanism negotiated by Senate and House Democrats and the White House. The new method of covering the cost of the bill would use $11 billion generated by ending the unpopular Troubled Asset Relief Program — the $700 billion bank bailout created in the fall of 2008 at the height of the financial scare. Democrats also agreed to increase premium rates paid by commercial banks to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to insure bank deposits. Grassley’s spokeswoman, Jill Kozeny, said the senator is concerned using the FDIC fees as a credit to the FDIC and as an offset, and prefers that the remaining bailout money help pay down the debt. That leaves little room for error in the vote counting. Without Grassley and with the timing of seating a replacement

for Byrd still uncertain, Cantwell, Collins, Snowe and Brown would give the bill exactly the 60 votes needed to overcome potentially fatal procedural delays. The finished legislation hews closely to the plan that Obama’s administration released in June 2009. “That’s been one of the most pleasant surprises of this process,� Farrell said in an interview. In some instances, the final bill is even tougher. The administration and Democrats in Congress squabbled over details on capital standards for banks and the breadth of restrictions on their derivatives business. Derivatives are financial instruments whose values change based on the price of some underlying investment. They were used for speculation, fueling the financial crisis. The most symbolic and high-profile defeat for the president was an exception in the bill carved out for auto dealers, who won’t fall under the supervision of a new consumer protection bureau. Obama had

looked upon consumer protections for home and auto buyers as features that would sell the bill to the public, but auto dealers proved to be a tough lobbying and political foe, pressing their case with lawmakers that they merely assembled loans and didn’t administer them. While Obama would have preferred an earlier conclusion for the bill, its passage less than four months from the general election is as good as it can get politically. The partisan lines will lead Democrats to cast Republicans as the party of Wall Street, exploiting a populist, anti-big bank sentiment among voters. Republicans will portray it as big government overreach. The legislation is a blend of specific prescriptive remedies that regulators must undertake and broader regulatory guidance. For example, it spells out what the Federal Reserve must take into account in setting new limits on the fees that banks charge merchants who accept debit cards. At the same time, it gives regulators leeway in such areas as the definition of a commercial user of complex derivatives — typically large manufacturers and industries such as airlines that use derivatives as hedges against market fluctuations. Regulators also would decide how much money those users should put up to cover their bets.

NATION BRIEFS

Suspect had 4-decade arrest record By GILLIAN FLACCUS Associated Press Writer

LOS ANGELES — The 57-year-old man charged with 10 murders in the Los Angeles “Grim Sleeper� case was arrested at least 15 times over four decades but was never sent to state prison despite the recommendation of probation officers, court and jail records show. Lonnie Franklin Jr. was arrested for burglary, car theft, firearms possession and assaults. But his crimes never were considered serious enough to send him to state prison or to warrant his entry in the state’s DNA database, authorities said. “He’s danced to the raindrops for a long time without getting wet,� Detective Dennis Kilcoyne, head of the task force investigating the killings, told the Los Angeles Times. Franklin was arrested Wednesday on 10 counts of murder and other charges in the deaths of young black women that started in the 1980s, then suddenly stopped, only to resume again 14 years later — sparking the nickname Grim Sleeper. Franklin’s public defender, Regina Laughney, said she’s still reviewing materials in the case and

Lonnie David Franklin Jr. appears for arraignment on multiple charges as the alleged “Grim Sleeper� killer, in Los Angeles Superior Court Thursday. it was too early for her to comment. One of the victims was killed in July 2003, when records show Franklin should have been in county jail but was released early because of overcrowding. Franklin pleaded no contest to receiving stolen property in that case, in which he was arrested at a Glendale mall driving a stolen luxury sport utility vehicle. A probation officer said it was unusual and disturbing that Franklin was still involved in such crimes at age 50, when most criminals have slowed down. “If at this age the defendant is still engaging in criminal activities,�

the officer wrote, “the community can best be served by imposing the maximum time possible in state prison.� But Franklin received just a fraction of the maximum sentence— 270 days in jail — and was still released four months early, according to jail data obtained by the Times. He also narrowly dodged the state DNA database. The following year, all felony convicts were put in the database after California voters passed a measure requiring it. Despite the long and varied record, Kilcoyne said Franklin did not commit the kind of violent crimes against women that might have drawn the attention of detectives in

the Grim Sleeper case. Investigators now plan to use DNA to tie Franklin to dozens more murders, looking at more than 30 cold case files dating to 1984, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said Friday. “Now that we know who he is, where he lives, the cars he drove, have people to interview, we will go over all those old cases and look for connections,� Beck said. 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. A technique called “familial DNA� led detectives to Franklin. In early June, the state Department of Justice ran DNA from the case through a database of 1.5 million samples. The database found no identical matches, but did find a “familial� match to a convicted felon whose DNA indicated he was either a brother or the son of the killer. An earlier search in 2008 had found no familial matches, but Franklin’s son was added to the database in recent months for a felony weapons conviction.

Obama: More post-traumatic stress help for vets WASHINGTON (AP) — The government is taking what President Barack Obama calls “a long overdue step� to aid veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder, making it easier for them receive federal benefits. The changes that Veteran Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki will announce Monday fulfill “a solemn responsibility to provide our veterans and wounded warriors with the care and benefits they’ve earned when they come home,� Obama said in his weekly radio and online address Saturday. The new rules will apply not only to veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, but also those who served in previous conflicts. No longer will veterans have to prove what caused their illness. Instead, they would have to show that the conditions surrounding the time and place of their service could have contributed to their illness. “I don’t think our troops on the battlefield should have to take notes to keep for a claims application,� the president said. “And I’ve met enough veterans to know that you don’t have to engage in a firefight to endure the trauma of war.� Veterans advocates and some lawmakers have argued that it sometimes could be impossible for

Seventh lawsuit filed over Ariz. immigration law PHOENIX (AP) — A seventh challenge to Arizona’s tough new immigration crackdown says training materials designed to teach police officers how to enforce the law give “vague and ill-defined factors� as reasons to question someone’s legal status. Officers aren’t supposed to use a person’s race to determine whether there’s reasonable suspicion they’re in the country illegally. But the lawsuit, filed Friday in federal court, says the training materials developed by state police bosses allow officers to rely on things like whether a person speaks poor English, looks nervous or is traveling in an overcrowded vehicle. They can even take into account whether someone is wearing several layers of clothing in a hot climate, or hanging out in an area where illegal immigrants are known to look for work. That will lead to “widespread� racial profiling of Hispanics, the lawsuit says. The law, set to take effect July 29, already faces legal challenges from two police officers, other groups and the U.S. Justice Department, which says the law usurps the federal government’s “pre-eminent authority� under the Constitution to regulate immigration.

CLEANUP EFFORTS

GULF OIL SPILL

Exact value of BP: Cap removed, oil flows freely oil skimming flotilla uncertain By TOM BREEN

Associated Press Writer

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The value of one highly touted facet of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill cleanup — the small navy of vessels skimming oil from the surface — has proven all but impossible to measure, which could make it difficult to figure out how much damage BP is liable for when the gusher is finally stopped. BP and the federal government admit they have no idea how much oil has been collected by hundreds of boats that range from retrofitted fishing vessels to state-of-the art craft designed specifically for the task. The harshest critics say the amount of oil skimmed is as low as 2.9 million gallons of the 87 million to 171 million gallons of crude that have gushed into the Gulf since April 20, but BP and independent scientists alike say there’s no real way of knowing. BP tracks the amount of oil-tainted water skimmers collect — nearly 29 million gallons so far — but not the amount of oil found in that mixture. Part of the problem, BP says, is the variety of vessels and skimming equipment being used. “We don’t have any basis for making an estimate,� BP spokesman Bryan Ferguson said. “There are too many different types of vessels and too many other factors.� Other means of collecting oil are easier to measure or estimate. The company has a handle on how much is funneling from the well cap into tankers — some 28.7 million gallons as of Friday. It also releases daily updates on how much oil has been burned from the surface of the water, a calculation it derives from the thickness of the crude, the size of the oil patch and how long it takes to burn. Of course, even the

total spilled is murky. There is a daily federal estimate that hit as many as 171 millions gallons Friday. Put simply, that’s enough oil to fill up nearly 113 blimps the size of Goodyear’s Spirit of America. Knowing how much oil has spilled and where it ends up will be a billion-dollar question once the damage from the leak is finally tallied. Arriving at some final figure will be important for the agencies charged with assessing the toll taken by the oil on the water, beaches and wetlands of the region, according to Larry McKinney, executive director of the Harte Research Institute at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi. Agencies designated as Natural Resources Trustees will use the calculation of how much oil spilled and where it went in the process of assessing the damage BP is liable for. “You’re talking about billions of dollars,� McKinney said. “If they don’t get that back from the responsible party, taxpayers are going to have to pay that.� The Sierra Club and other environmental groups doubt the skimmers — which have increased from roughly 100 in the region at the start of June to more than 550 by early July — are worth the resources being devoted to them. “We’re poisoning the Gulf and we need to have as accurate an accounting as possible about how much oil is being released and how much is being cleaned up,� said Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club. Environmentalists who criticize skimming say that under ideal conditions, about 20 percent of that mixture would be oil, but it’s generally probably closer to 10 percent.

NEW ORLEANS — Robotic submarines removed the cap from the gushing well in the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday, beginning a period of at least two days when oil will flow freely into the sea. It’s the first step in placing a tighter dome that is supposed to funnel more oil to collection ships on the surface a mile above. If all goes according to plan, the tandem of the tighter cap and the surface ships could keep all the oil from polluting the fragile Gulf as soon as Monday. BP spokesman Mark Proegler said the old cap was removed at 12:37 p.m. CDT on Saturday. “Over the next four to seven days, depending on how things go, we should get that sealing cap on. That’s our plan,� said Kent Wells, a BP senior vice president. It would be only a temporary solution to the catastrophe unleashed by a drilling rig explosion nearly 12 weeks ago. It won’t plug the busted well and it remains uncertain that it will succeed. The oil is flowing mostly unabated into the water for about 48 hours — long enough for as much as 5 million gallons to gush out — until the new cap is installed. The hope for a permanent solution remains with two relief wells intended to plug it completely far beneath the seafloor. Engineers now begin removing a bolted flange below the dome. The flange has to be taken off so another piece of equipment called a flange spool

The work could spill over into Sunday, Wells said, depending on how hard it is to pull off the flange. BP has a backup plan in case that doesn’t work: A piece of machinery will pry the top and the bottom of the flange apart. On Friday, National Incident Commander Thad Allen had said the cap could be in place by Monday. That’s still possible, given the timeline BP submitted to the federal government, but officials say it could take up to a week of tests before it’s clear whether the new cap is working. The cap now in use was installed June 4, but because it had to be fitted over a jagged cut in the well pipe, it allows some crude to escape. The new cap — dubbed “Top Hat Number 10� — follows 80 days of failures to contain or plug the leak. BP PLC first tried a huge containment box also referred to as a top hat,

but icelike crystals quickly clogged the contraption in the cold depths. Then it tried to shoot heavy drilling mud into the hole to hold down the flow so it could then insert a cement plug. After the so-called “top kill,� engineers tried a “junk shot� — using the undersea robots to try and stuff carefully selected golf balls and other debris to plug the leak. That also met failure. The company is also working 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 plan had originally been to change the cap and hook up the Helix Producer separately, but the favorable weather convinced officials the time was right for both operations. They have a window of seven to 10 days. 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. In a response late Friday to Allen’s request for detailed plans, BP managing director Bob Dudley confirmed that the leak could be contained by Monday. But Dudley included plans for another scenario, which includes possible problems and missteps that could push the installment of the cap back to Thursday. And the latest effort is far from a sure thing, warned Louisiana State University environmental sciences professor Ed Overton. “Everything done at that site is very much harder than anyone expects,� he said. Overton 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 so they can inject heavy mud and cement into the leaking well to stop the flow, which is expected to be done by mid-August. Then a monumental cleanup and restoration project lies ahead.

12A / Sunday, July 11, 2010 / The Sanford Herald SPY SWAP

NATION BRIEFS

Agents were pawns in a practiced game By CALVIN WOODWARD Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — In the rapid-fire spy swap, the United States and Russia worked together as only old enemies could. Less than two weeks after the FBI broke the spy ring in a counterintelligence operation cultivated for a decade, 10 Russian secret agents caught in the U.S. are back in Russia, four convicted of spying for the West have been pardoned and released by Moscow, and bilateral relations appear on track again. In describing how the swap unfolded, U.S. officials made clear that even before the arrests, Washington wanted not only to take down a spy network but to move beyond the provocative moment. So the U.S. made an offer. Russia was ready to deal. Channels of communication that once coursed with world-shaking superpower crises were reflexively put into play. Moscow and Washington not only have a history of nuclear-tipped tension but also long experience keeping those tensions in check. Just imagine if the U.S. had been caught up in a spy flare-up with Iran instead.

Waldo Mariscal, center, son of accused spy Vicky Pelaez, speaks to the media with his attorney Genesis Peduto, left, on the front porch of his family home in Yonkers, “This case has been done with electrifying speed,” said John L. Martin, who oversaw Cold War espionage prosecutions and trades during a 27year career at the Justice Department. “I’ve never seen so much pressure to do it quickly.” The detailed case against the network of secret Russian agents was brought to the attention of the White House in February, officials said. On June 11, President Barack Obama was briefed on the matter. Well before FBI agents moved against the operatives late that month, Washington had in mind that they might become bargaining chips to free Russians imprisoned for betraying Moscow and helping the West.

The U.S. arrests were not made to facilitate a swap, said a U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss matters of intelligence. Rather, they were precipitated, at least partly, by the plans of several of the Russians to leave this country this summer. He said that as the time approached to take down the ring, the question officials asked each other was, “Once the arrests take place, what do we do?” CIA and FBI officials decided that because the sleepers had been observed and tracked by U.S. agents for so long, there was nothing to be gained or learned from them, the official said. Once in custody, the operatives “provided an opportunity

for us to get something from the Russians.” The idea of a swap advanced. The CIA was assigned to make the initial approach, “testing the waters, and following through,” the official said. About a day after the arrests were made, the CIA contacted the Russian service to say, “We had a proposal to resolve the situation.” The Russians, despite crying foul in public over the arrests, were ready to privately listen. That set the stage for three phone calls between CIA Director Leon Panetta and Russia’s spy chief, Mikhail Fradkov. Panetta identified the four prisoners being held in Russia that the U.S. wanted to free, several U.S. officials said. “I think the U.S. government had its end game lined up when it started this process,” said attorney Peter Krupp, who represented Donald Heathfield, one of the U.S. defendants. “The Justice Department and perhaps the State Department moved mountains that couldn’t be moved by local officials to orchestrate a meeting between my client in Boston on Saturday of the Fourth of July weekend,” said Krupp.

Mont. advocacy group shuts down cannabis caravans

Woman questioned again and again over ID mix-up

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana advocacy group is shutting down its traveling medical marijuana clinics amid criticism that the socalled cannabis caravans have added thousands of people to the state registry without conducting thorough patient screenings. The Montana Caregviers Network has hosted the one-day clinics in hotels and conference centers across Montana for more than a year. For a $150 fee, the group brought together those seeking to become medical marijuana patients with doctors willing to prescribe pot. Starting next week, the group will forgo the clinics and instead team up with medical marijuana distributors — called caregivers in Montana — to provide regular doctor’s office hours in Billings, Bozeman and Helena, in addition to the group’s base in Missoula. “It is being changed partially because of the criticism of the traveling clinics. Also, from the business end, it’s no longer sustainable,” group spokesman Chris Arneson said. “The traveling clinics no longer allow us to serve our patients the best we can.” The clinics were a major factor in Montana’s medical marijuana patient registry jumping from 842 people at the end of 2008 to just about 20,000 at the end of June. The clinics have also helped the Montana Caregivers Network make more than $1 million in the past year, according to founder Jason Christ.

SARANAC LAKE, N.Y. (AP) — Sylvie Nelson’s border crossings are anything but routine. Customs agents sometimes order her out of her car. Twice, they handcuffed her in front of her young children. Once, agents swarmed her car and handcuffed her husband, too. She tells them: It’s not me you want, it’s a man with the same birth date and a similar name. Agents always confirm that and let her go. Then it happens again. And again. “I can understand one missed identification,” Nelson said. “But over and over and over again?” Nelson, a 44-year-old white woman, keeps getting snared at the Canadian border because she apparently shares some key identifying information with a black man, possibly from Georgia, who is in trouble with the law. While such cases of mistaken identity at border points and airports are not unique, Nelson’s case is unusual in that only some of her crossings set off an alarm and because federal officials have not fixed the problem after almost two years.

San Francisco hits nerve with pet sale ban idea SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — As Philip Gerrie tells it, the idea of banning pet sales in San Francisco started simply enough, with a proposal to outlaw puppy and kitten mills. West Hollywood, Calif. had done it, with little fanfare. Why not the city of St. Francis, patron saint of animals, which prides itself on its compassion toward all creatures great and small? So Gerrie, a bee keeper and secretary of the San Francisco Commission of Animal Control & Welfare, a seven-member advisory board on animal issues to the city’s lawmakers, decided to suggest adding the idea to the commission’s agenda. The proposed ban on puppy and kitten mills became a proposed ban on the sale of just about every animal that might end up in a shelter: gerbils, guinea pigs, birds, hamsters, turtles, snakes, rats. Sales of rabbits and chicks are already banned in the city.

Website posts recording of racist Gibson rant By ANTHONY McCARTNEY AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES — Mel Gibson is heard using a racial epithet and calling his ex-girlfriend a “whore” in a recording released by a celebrity news website Friday. The two-minute recording posted by RadarOnline.com includes segments in which a voice sounding distinctively like the Academy Awardwinner is heard telling his then-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, that she is dressing too provocatively and that it would be her fault if she were raped. He uses the N-word at one point, and the recording is laced with his profanity. Grigorieva recorded the actor-director because she was afraid he might harm her, the website reported. The actor is heard on the recording harshly criticizing Grigorieva for the way she dresses. He accuses her of lying to him about having breast implants. “They just look stupid,” Gibson tells her at one point in the recording. “Keep them if you want to. They look like a Vegas bitch, a Vegas whore.” “You look like a (expletive) bitch in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of (N-word), it will be your

You are provocatively dressed.” Alan Nierob, a spokesman for Gibson, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A phone message left for Grigorieva’s attorney, Marci Levine, was not immediately returned. It is unclear when the recording was made or in what context. It opens with Gibson discussing breast feeding of their now 8-month-old daughter. Toward the end, Gibson indicates he is done

with the relationship. “I don’t trust you,” the actor is heard saying. “I don’t love you. I don’t want you.” The recording has shades of another scandal for Gibson — his use of anti-Semitic and sexist remarks during a drunken driving arrest in 2006. The actor-director later apologized for the statements, which were included in a report by a sheriff’s deputy who arrested Gibson that was obtained by celebrity website TMZ. Also on Friday, Gibson’s talent agency,

William Morris Endeavor, dropped the actor, The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline.com reported. The former couple have been locked in a bitter custody dispute in Los Angeles. The 40-year-old singer has accused Gibson of domestic violence, and sheriff’s officials have launched an investigation. Records in the court case, which may include the audio recordings, remain sealed. RadarOnline has been posting text excerpts since July 1 of roughly 30 minutes of recordings of Gibson that she made before the pair broke up in April. Friday’s posting was the first time that audio of the encounters had been released. The recording released Friday is unlikely to be RadarOnline’s last word on Gibson. Site founder and Executive Vice President David Perel told The Associated Press that more excerpts of audio that Grigorieva recorded will be posted to the site in coming days. The site has posted text transcripts that include threats of violence and other racial slurs. Perel said that RadarOnline has heard “a significant portion” of the recordings. He said the site has verified it is Gibson on the recording.

The website, owned by American Media Inc., which also owns the National Enquirer, did not say how it obtained the tapes. Perel told the AP the site did not pay for the recordings and that they did not come from Grigorieva. Perel said the site felt it was an important story to publish, despite the disturbing content. He said in some of the recordings, Gibson and Grigorieva’s 8month old daughter can be heard screaming in the background. The screaming is not present in the audio released Friday. “We felt it was so newsworthy and so explosive we simply had to report what we heard,” Perel said. Rita Smith, executive director of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, said Gibson was exhibiting the behavior of a “typical batterer.” She said there is likely to be significant backlash against Gibson, but whether there are real consequences for the actor remain to be seen. “I think that people will be similarly outraged for awhile, like they were with Chris Brown, like they were with Alec Baldwin,” Smith said. “This is one story out of thousands we hear every day.”

Charlie Sheen’s court date postponed ASPEN, Colo. (AP) — A court hearing during which actor Charlie Sheen was expected to plead guilty to a charge stemming from a Christmas Day dispute with his wife has been postSheen poned. Court officials say the hearing has been delayed from Monday to Aug. 2. Yale Galanter, one of Sheen’s attorneys, says the defense needs more time to work out details of an agreement that calls for Sheen to plead guilty to misdemeanor assault in exchange for prosecutors dropping more serious charges. Galanter previously said the agreement calls for Sheen to serve 30 days in jail. Sheen, star of “Two and a Half Men” on CBS, is charged with felony menacing, criminal mischief and assault against his wife, Brooke Mueller Sheen.

New exhibit traces 65 million years of evolution LOS ANGELES (AP) — Part of the oldest museum in Los Angeles County has been turned into a home for the aged — and the ages. With specimens that date back 4 billion years, the Age of Mammals exhibit opens Sunday in the north wing of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. It’s the first permanent museum exhibition in the world to trace 65 million years of evolution based on geology and climate, said curator John Harris. “We are trying to figure out why the change took place, not just describe how the change took place,” he said. “Normally, mammals evolve to adapt to their surroundings. If that were the simplest part of it, after the dust cleared, after the asteroid exploded and the dinosaurs had been wiped out, then mammals would have filled the habitats left vacant by the demise of the dinosaurs and that would have been the end of the story. But it wasn’t.” That’s because a restless Earth wouldn’t allow it. “We’ve seen that humans themselves are a product of climate change. Now we are at the point where we are causing and contributing to climate change,” Harris said. The centerpiece of the exhibit is a 20,000-year-old mastodon found in Simi Valley, just 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles. A relative of the elephant, it is also the exhibit’s largest complete specimen, standing 8 feet, 9 inches tall.

KABUL, Afghanistan — A wave of attacks killed six U.S. troops and at least a dozen civilians Saturday in Afghanistan’s volatile south and east, as American reinforcements moving into Taliban-dominated areas face up to the fierce resistance they expected. Increased U.S.-led military operations in the southern province of Kandahar are aimed at trying to break the Taliban’s grip where they are strongest by delivering security and government services to win over Afghan people. The hope is that once the tide begins to turn, more control can be handed to Afghan forces without fear that the Taliban might again seize power, bring back its harsh interpretation of Islamic law and resume sheltering al-Qaida terrorist leaders. Then U.S. troops could begin withdrawing in July 2011, in line with a timeline set by President Barack Obama. Senior U.S. military officers have warned, however, that the fight in the Taliban’s spiritual birthplace would lead to a rise in casualties for troops. June was the deadliest month of the nearly 9year-old war, and July has kept pace. On Saturday, two of the U.S. troops killed died

Smoke comes out from the scene of an explosion in Kandahar south of Kabul, Afghanistan on Saturday. in the south in separate roadside bombings. In Kandahar city, a remotecontrolled bomb on a motorcycle exploded, setting cars ablaze and shattering windows at a popular shopping center. The provincial government said one passer-by was killed. The other American service members died in the east: One as a result of small-arms fire, another by a roadside bomb, a third during an insurgent attack and the last in an accidental explosion. Their deaths raised to 23 the number of American troops killed so far this month. Last month, 103 international troops were killed, 60 of them Americans. In the spring, as NATO began stepping up patrols in the south, Adm. Mike Mullen, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned reporters again that such

a rise casualties would be inevitable. “I think we’ve been very clear for months now that this was going to be a very difficult fight in the south, and tried to set expectations, as tragic as it is, for these losses,” said Mullen, who is Obama’s top military adviser. Progress has indeed proved slow, and the Afghan government is struggling to build trust, with many authorities seen as corrupt or unprofessional. Violence has also escalated as the insurgents work to sabotage Afghan authorities and kill foreign forces, sometimes with dramatic terrorist attacks, but most days with a steady flow of roadside bombs and small attacks. In Saturday’s deadliest attack, eastern border province of Paktia, unidentified gunmen killed 11 Pakistanis who had crossed into Afghanistan

to buy supplies, according to Rohullah Samon, spokesman for the provincial governor. Samon said 11 Shia minority Muslim tribesmen died and three people, including a child, were wounded in the ambush of their minibus in Chamkani district. Elsewhere in Paktia, Afghan and international forces also said a combined commando unit killed a Taliban operative and captured eight others in an overnight raid, though local villagers later staged a small protest, saying the men were innocent civilians. Another, larger protest in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif involved another night raid that killed two security guards near a market earlier in the week. A crowd of more than 1,000 crowd chanted “Death to America! Long live Islam!” Protesters said the security guards were unjustly killed when combined Afghan and international forces landed by helicopter at the bazaar before dawn Wednesday. NATO spokesman Col. Wayne Shanks said the two guards were shot when they raised their weapons at the commandos and refused orders to put them down. He said the raid succeeded in capturing a Taliban-allied operative who supplied bomb-making material.

Gaza aid ship leaves Greece for Egypt ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A ship commissioned by a Libyan charity organization has left Greece headed for the Egyptian port of al-Arish, and not for Gaza, as originally planned, according to Greek authorities. The Moldovan-flagged cargo ship Amalthea left around 8 p.m. local (1700 GMT) Saturday from the port of Lavrio, southeast of Athens, carrying 2,000 tons of food and medical supplies destined for Gaza, mostly donated by Greek companies and charities, organizers said. In addition to 15 volunteers — all from Libyan except for a Nigerian and one Moroccan — the ship has a crew of 12 from Cuba, Haiti, India, and Syria. Youssef Sawani, executive director of Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation, which has mounted the aid operation, insisted the aim remained to unload the supplies in Gaza.

Baghdad kills 58,000 stray dogs in 3-month span BAGHDAD (AP) — Teams of veterinarians and police shooters have killed some 58,000 stray dogs in and around the Iraqi capital over the past three months as part of a campaign to curb an increasing number of strays blamed for attacks on residents. The Baghdad provincial

government said in a statement released Sunday that 20 teams have been moving around Baghdad and the outer-lying districts daily looking for and putting down the dogs. The operation, which was first announced in late 2008, only truly took off this April after funds were allocated for the project. The surge in strays — estimated by provincial officials to number around 1.25 million — is ironically linked to what officials say is an improvement in some elements of daily life in Baghdad, a city that for seven years has been struggling to return to normalcy after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion to topple Saddam Hussein.

European Space Agency looking closely at asteroid BERLIN (AP) — The European Space Agency took the closest look yet Saturday at asteroid Lutetia in an extraordinary quest some 280 million miles in outer space between Mars and Jupiter. The comet-chaser Rosetta flew by Lutetia as close as 1,900 miles (3,200 kilometers) and had about two hours to capture images of the asteroid with its hightech cameras, the space agency said in Darmstadt, Germany. Though Lutetia was discovered some 150 years ago, for a long time it was little more than a point of light to those on Earth. Only recent high-resolution groundbased imaging has given a vague view of the asteroid, the agency said.

CREAMER, YAKOMINE SHARE LEAD IN U.S. OPEN

The King’s court deserved respect

OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Maybe Paula Creamer discovered the secret to playing Oakmont Country Club. Don’t practice as much as usual so as not to get discouraged by the course’s renowned toughness. Creamer had the only sub-par round of the day to tie Sakura Yokomine for the lead as the rain-delayed second round of the U.S. Women’s Open concluded Saturday. Creamer played all but two holes of her 1-under 70 on Saturday, while Yokomine finished up her second straight 71 by playing 15 holes. Both were set to begin the third round later Saturday. Yokomine and Creamer were one shot ahead of LPGA Championship winner Cristie middayKerr and Brittany Lang, both of whom finished their second rounds before heavy rains halted play Friday. Christina Kim, who also finished up Friday, Sophie Gustafson and Suzann Pettersen were two shots off the lead.

golf STRICKER SETS 54-HOLE PGA RECORD AT DEERE SILVIS, Ill. (AP) — Steve Stricker has broken the PGA Tour’s 54-hole record with a 9-under-par 62 Saturday that gave him a six-stroke lead in the John Deere Classic. Stricker, the tournament’s defending champion, was at 25-under 188 heading into Sunday’s final round. The old 54-hole record of 189 is shared by John Cook, Mark Calcavecchia and Tommy Armour III. Stricker can now take aim at Armour’s 72-hole record of 254. Stricker needs a 65 to set the new mark. Paul Goydos, who shot just the fourth 59 in tour history in Thursday’s first round, was tied with Jeff Maggert for second at 194. Maggert shot a 63 on Saturday and Goydos a 67.

cycling chavanel wins 7th stage of tour LES ROUSSES, France (AP) — France’s Sylvain Chavanel has won the seventh stage of the Tour de France and recaptured the yellow jersey as the race entered the mountains. The Quick Step rider who also won the second stage raised a fist in joy as he completed the 101-mile route Saturday from Tournus to Station des Rousses ski station, with six low- to midgrade climbs. Switzerland’s Fabian Cancellara — who trailed behind — appeared set to lose the yellow jersey to Chavanel. The French rider began the stage fifth overall, 1:01 behind Cancellara.

Walk-off homer sends Broadway into title game By RYAN SARDA

sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Cameron Wells tied it. Remington Berryman won it. In the semifinals of the Little Tar Heel League District Tournament, the Broadway 10-U All-Stars defeated Siler City 13-11 on Saturday afternoon at Tramway Athletic Park. After Siler City took an 11-10 lead in the top of the sixth inning, Wells tied the game up after scoring a run from third. With only one out and a runner on second, Berryman stepped up to the plate and hit a two-run walk-off home run to win the game and eliminate Siler City. Wells was responsible for three runs in Broadway’s victory. Brannon Rhodes and Braxton Melvin each scored twice. Camden Partington contributed with a run as well.

t’s not so much why, or when, LeBron James left Cleveland. It’s how. James’ prime time special, “The Decision,” on Thursday night was a misstep of Tiger Woods proportions in the damage it has done to James’ reputation. In a matter of one hour, he went from the face of the NBA and the heir to His Airness to one of the most disliked professional athletes in the world. Whether his reputation tilts back into James’ favor before the end of his career is a discussion for another time. Win a couple rings — well, make it a few, or better yet, a handful — and the nod to his greatness may become more pronounced, even though this move seems to make him more a follower than a leader, more A-Rod than Jeter. But with each notable Miami Heat victory, the stake James drove through the hearts of the fans in Northeast Ohio will only sharpen. Perhaps there will be a silver lining going forward from the disaster that was “The Decision.” But for now, James, a basketball marvel at 6-foot-9 and 275 pounds, came across only as small and childish in his flat-lining interview with Jim Gray on ESPN. The King has been assailed as narcissistic for his emotionless performance, sullying his brand further with each reference to himself in the third person (there were five). In the briefest of moments, though, before he quickly recovered and composed himself, James

world cup Final: Spain vs. The netherlands, 2:30 p.m. ABC

Spain Netherlands both seeking 1st Cup By BARRY WILNER AP Sports Writer

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — After all the bluster about Brazil and the awe inspired by Germany, the World Cup comes down to two of the all-time underachievers playing for their first title. Spain and the Netherlands, teams with long histories of wasting their biggest opportunities, meet Sunday at Soccer City to conclude the first World Cup held in Africa. What began as a celebration of this continent, then turned into a South American fiesta for two rounds, finishes off with one European country discarding its also-ran label. Which one? “I am sure the Spanish can win

any game because they are dominant and it’s hard to contain their attack,” Germany coach Joachim Loew said after his team lost 1-0 in the semifinals. “They have shown they can beat anyone.” Perhaps. But ... “The Dutch can create a goal from any situation,” coach Oscar Tabarez said after his Uruguay squad allowed three to the Netherlands, one more than it gave up in the rest of the tournament. “They play some beautiful football.” How nice it would be if this final featured just that: well-played, open, creative soccer. That’s what both the

BROADWAY — The Lee County 12-U All-Stars advanced to the Little Tar Heel League District III tournament championship following a 13-10 victory over Siler City on Saturday afternoon at Broadway Optimist Park. Lee County, which actually lost to Siler City on Friday night 7-1, regrouped and won its rematch with the team from Chatham County in the semifinals.

Boozer: Teams can’t fear Heat DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Carlos Boozer sees championship potential in Chicago, even without LeBron James. And he insists the Bulls aren’t conceding anything. The King’s announcement that he’s uniting with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in a powerhouse trio that could make Miami the Boozer favorite in the Eastern Conference for years to come didn’t exactly leave Boozer cowering. “You can’t be afraid to play somebody because they have three really good players,� Boozer said Friday at his introductory news conference. “How are you going to win if you’re afraid to play? We’re not going to be afraid to play. We’re going to fight, we’re going to attack. We’re going to go out there and see what happens.� Boozer said he did all he could to lure James to Chicago. Instead, the jewel of this free agent class announced Thursday on ESPN that he was leaving the Cavaliers for the Heat, sending Cleveland into a uniform-burning frenzy and giving the South Beach partygoers something else to celebrate. “Of course, I was trying to get him to come down here to Chicago to play for us, but I was happy for him,� said Boozer, James’ teammate in Cleveland for a year and on the U.S. Olympic team. They had a brief conversation Thursday night. Each player offered congratulations. Now, they’re moving on. With a ready-made supporting cast and enough salary-cap space to lure two stars, the Bulls were looking

NBA BRIEFS Cavs get future picks for LeBron

AP photo

Dwyane Wade introduces his new teamates, LeBron James, left and Chris Bosh during a fan event at the American Airlines Arena on Friday night 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.

Bosh’s decision pulled things together for Heat MIAMI (AP) — In Chris Bosh, the Miami Heat got a power forward and a power broker. Sure, Heat president Pat Riley pulled together the deal, Dwyane Wade had a county renamed in his honor and the anticipation of LeBron James’ decision turned into a drama unlike anything the NBA has likely ever seen. But the first domino that fell into place was Bosh — and if he went elsewhere, the other two stars almost surely would have as well. It went down like this: Bosh told Wade he wanted to play in Miami, which immediately convinced the 2006 NBA finals MVP to spurn Chicago’s offer and stay with the Heat. About 48 hours later, Wade got a call from James, telling him it’d be a South Beach three-for-all. However long Bosh stays with the Heat, he may never have a more significant assist. “I think it was more of a collective effort,� Bosh said. “I know these two guys. They have to make their own decisions. There was no point where we asked each other to, ’OK, we’re going to talk and we’re all going to go here.’ We have to play in the best positions for our families, for ourselves, and for our careers. “And Miami was the

obvious choice.� Not until Bosh made up his mind, it wasn’t. Wade was absolutely torn by the decision between Chicago and Miami, so much so that he asked family members to write down their top choices — and that didn’t even break the tie between his hometown and the city where he’s starred for seven years. He told the Heat the only way he would stay put is if they landed Bosh or James. Bosh had a half-dozen offers, but knew the only way he’d get to play with two superstars was by coming to Miami. So he took his leap of Heat faith. “When Chris told me that,� Wade said, “it all just came together. And then it was up to LeBron.� James eventually completed the trifecta — three of the top five choices from the 2003 draft — that will surely be the talk of the NBA for years to come. “There’s no question about it, they become the favorites along with Boston to win the East,� Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy said. “The East has certainly gotten better.

It’s not getting any easier. You have three guys, All-Stars, in the prime of their career. That’s a heckuva team to match up against.� The possibilities are endless, already getting scrawled on the white boards in Heat coach Erik Spoelstra’s office. Wade at shooting guard, James at small forward, Bosh at power forward. Each routinely sees double-teams, and that will continue. But unless the NBA starts allowing Miami opponents to play with at least six guys, then Wade, James and Bosh all can’t have two defenders draped around them at once. That’s where Bosh could flourish, those around him say. “When Chris was in high school, he didn’t even say he was the best player on his team,� said Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt, who had Bosh on his team for one year before the then-teenager jumped to the NBA. “And they went 40-0 and won a national championship. That’s who he is. It’s not about who gets credit for what.�

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cavaliers made sure they got something back for LeBron James. After losing the superstar to Miami, the Cavs worked out a deal with the Heat, acquiring two future first-round draft picks and two secondround picks. Cleveland gets two first rounders starting in 2013 and continuing through 2017, and the Heat’s 2012 second-round pick from New Orleans and a future secondround pick Miami acquired from Oklahoma City. The Cavs also have the right to swap first-round picks with the Heat in 2012. Cleveland also picked up a trade exception that could be worth up to $16 million. It didn’t appear the Cavs would do a deal with Miami involving James, especially after Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert lambasted the MVP in the hours after he announced he was leaving.

LeBron’s mural coming down CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James is being dropped off a building. Workers began dismantling the 10-story-tall iconic image of James on a mural in downtown Saturday, a billboard that has dominated the city’s skyline for years but is being taken down now that the superstar has left the Cavaliers for the Miami Heat. As strips of the image of James, his arms outstretched and head thrown back after doing his pregame powder toss, began coming off, pedestrians stopped on Ontario Street to take photos and cars pulled to the side for one last look at No. 23, who has gone from being a hometown hero to villain.

Heat meet with Derek Fisher MIAMI (AP) — Free agent point guard Derek Fisher has

met with the Miami Heat on the day after the team lavishly introduced LeBron James and Chris Bosh as Dwyane Wade’s newest teammates. Fisher has been part of all five Los Angeles Lakers’ championships in the Kobe Bryant era, four of them as a starter.

Magic to consider matching Bulls offer for Redick ORLANDO (AP) — Orlando Magic general manager Otis Smith plans to take “the full seven days� to decide whether to match an offer sheet the Chicago Bulls made for restricted free agent J.J. Redick. Smith said Saturday that Redick is a “part of our team� and Orlando would “like to keep him.� The Bulls reportedly signed Redick to a $19 million, three-year offer sheet. Because Redick is a restricted free agent, the Magic can match any offer for him within seven days.

Clippers sign picks Aminu, Bledsoe LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers have signed draft picks Al-Farouq Aminu of Wake Forest and Eric Bledsoe of Kentucky. The signings were announced Saturday. Aminu, a forward, was the eighth overall pick in last month’s NBA draft. Bledsoe, a guard, was the 18th pick whom the Clippers acquired in a draft day trade after he was originally chosen by Oklahoma City. Aminu left Wake Forest after averaging 15.8 points, 10.7 rebounds and 4.4 blocks in his sophomore season. Bledsoe averaged 11.3 points, 2.9 assists and 3.1 rebounds as a freshman at Kentucky. The rookies’ signings ended a busy week for the Clippers, who also signed free agents Brian Cook, Randy Foye and Ryan Gomes.

So if coaches Bert van Marwijk and Vicente del Bosque don’t turn conservative all of a sudden, Sunday’s showdown could turn into one entertaining shootout. “I love attacking and beautiful football,” the Netherlands’ Van Marwijk said, “but you have to work together when the opponent has the ball and then you can go a long way.” The Dutch have gone a long way in the World Cup before. They simply couldn’t finish it off in 1974

revealed a look of shock when video of Cavaliers fans burning his jersey was shown to him. James managed his way through it, and continued through the show with his mundane, rehearsed answers. This was not Wayne Gretzky wiping away tears and abruptly ending his remarks at a news conference. But one can hope after toning the death knell for professional basketball in Cleveland that James

the semifinals thanks to a thrilling 16-14 over the Lee County All-Stars in Saturday’s early action. The Siler City All-Stars built a 6-3 lead after two innings. With five runs in the third inning, Lee County took an 8-6 lead. Siler City responded with two more runs in the third

and 1978, losing in the final to host teams West Germany and Argentina. They carry one of the most impressive strings of success into the championship match that soccer has seen: 10 straight wins and 25 games without a loss. If they beat Spain, the Dutch will match Brazil’s 1970 accomplishment of sweeping all qualifying and World Cup games. They have the tools. Midfielder Wesley Sneijder has been brilliant throughout the tournament and is tied with Spain striker David Villa for the scoring lead with five goals. The three-pronged unit up front of Arjen Robben, Dirk

Kuyt and Robin van Persie matches up with any group anywhere. “Holland is going to play its football,” Spain midfielder Sergio Busquets said. “That’s important, that everyone plays their own game and shows their cards.” Obviously, turning the final into an offensive show makes sense for the Netherlands. Unfortunately for the Oranje, it might make even more sense for the Spaniards. The European champions can match the Dutch in firepower with Villa, Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Andres Iniesta, Pedro, Cesc Fabregas, Fernando Torres and

Fernando Llorente. They have the more experienced goalkeeper in Iker Casillas, making it more likely they would get the big saves when the Netherlands breaks through. The Spanish don’t have the Netherlands’ winning streak, but they have lost only two games since November 2006 — both did come in South Africa, one in this tournament — and controlled the pace of the game against Germany in the semifinal. Spain couldn’t have been more efficient with its well-structured passing game against the Germans, who played cautiously — not at all their style

— and thus played right into the Spaniards’ hands. If Spain remains as patient and precise with the ball against the Dutch as it was in the semifinals, can the Oranje defense hold firm? Van Marwijk has seen how the Spanish respond when the Jabulani winds up on opposing feet: “When they lose the ball, they immediately join in (to get it back). Their big stars, too.” Not that the Dutch coach is conceding anything in that area. “It is something we also do well,” Van Marwijk said. The final, then, could come down to the playmakers and the finishers.

might realize the damage he has wrought on the people who cheered him all of his life. It wasn’t so hurtful that he left — Cleveland sports fans have seen that movie before, and while they have reviled Art Modell ever since, they were prepared this time — but the way James chose to say goodbye was akin to dragging his most loyal followers through the mud. At 25 years old, after seven years with the team that included an NBA Finals appearance, two MVPs and two 60-win seasons, James had made Cavaliers basketball more than relevant, and his “Wit-

nesses” responded with nothing less than adulation. Perhaps tired of having to be spectacular every night just to make a mediocre team appear great, and after a lifetime living in one place, James had cause for wanting out. Cleveland fans could understand that, but a heartfelt thankyou was warranted — from both sides, no matter what the decision. Instead of a classy exit with measured words backed by emotional oomph, though, James allowed himself a self-aggrandizing Bachelor-esque prime time special that was too much manufac-

tured drama and far too little respect. And so the angry fervor coming out of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio feels warranted as well. To try to cloak the self-absorbing hour under the guise of raising money for charity only signals how ill-advised the entire episode was. James didn’t have to stay in Cleveland. And he will continue to be adored by many because of his considerable talent. But a large piece of what the world thought LeBron James was lies in tatters at his feet. That silver lining? It only comes if James and

megastars like him -- and any pro athlete -- come to realize what sports mean to the fans who care the most. The last four days should serve, at the very least, as a blueprint for what not to do. Growing up in Akron, James knew the torment fans of Cleveland sports have been through. He spoke about it. The Drive. The Fumble. The Shot. The Move. Jose Mesa. Instead of respecting that, instead of understanding the role sports play in the lives of people who work dead-end jobs 60 hours a week, instead of taking into account the

Germany beats Uruguay 3-2 for 3rd place PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa (AP) — In pouring rain on a ragged field, Germany and Uruguay staged a match entertaining enough to be for the World Cup title. Too bad it was only for third place. Sami Khedira scored in the 82nd minute to give Germany a 3-2 victory and third place for the second straight World Cup. But the Germans had to survive a final-second free kick by Uruguay star striker Diego Forlan from just outside the penalty area. It ricocheted off the crossbar, and the whistle sounded.

meaning of the hometown savoir persona he willingly allowed to be built around him, he gave them another harrowing moment. The Decision. Cleveland fans, deep down, probably knew before Thursday night that LeBron James was leaving. Now they’re glad he’s gone. As is James’ reputation. Alex Podlogar is The Herald’s sports editor.

BRIDGE HAND

Teen plays naughty and nice on twin Facebook profiles DEAR ABBY: I have just learned that a friend’s 16-year-old daughter has two different Facebook profiles. One is a “nice” profile to which she has invited me, her family and friends from her days at a Christian academy. The other, which is pretty raw, she uses with her new “wild” friends from public high school. The first profile portrays her as the perfect student and daughter. The other includes explicit details about her sexual exploits and drinking parties. Should I keep my nose out of it or let her parents know about the dual identities? — VIGILANT IN EVERETT, WASH.

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: What you learn this year will be instrumental in your accomplishments in years to come. Educational pursuits, picking up additional skills or getting involved with a mentor will all lead to a better life. Nothing is out of reach if you are willing to work hard. You have the discipline and the energy. Your numbers are 3, 19, 22, 25, 29, 38, 43 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will be taken the wrong way, aggravating a situation that is already stressful. Focus on selfimprovement and making changes to help you look, feel and do your best. Generosity, sincerity and honesty will help keep the peace. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone with greater experience will help you find the solutions you are looking for. You can rely on friends, neighbors and relatives to give you an honest assessment of your personal situation. Do something enjoyable with people you relate to. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Get responsibilities and unfinished work out of the way before someone complains that you aren’t living up to your promises. Communicating with someone you haven’t seen in a long time will put your own life back in perspective. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t quit one job until you have another lined up. You may feel like making an impulsive decision but you’ll be sorry if you do. Focus more on home, family and friends and pay special attention to the person you love most. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If someone makes a change of plans, don’t let it stop you from carrying on. It’s important to follow your own path and to interact with new acquaintances. Social and professional events will lead to interesting ideas and options you didn’t realize you have. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t turn down an

invitation or an offer to get involved in something a little different. Love relationships will flourish if you pay a little attention to someone who interests you. Sharing your plans and intentions will bring greater stability. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keeping the peace will be easy if you include everyone in your plans. Taking a hobby or talent you enjoy doing and turning it into a moneymaking service is possible. Don’t be lazy.

Consider what you can do to raise your income. Turn one of your innovative ideas into a service for others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Love, happiness and success await you. A fabulous partnership, good friendships and some new and creative ideas are all possible if you are willing to give and take. Children and lovers will play an important role in the decisions you make.

DEAR VIGILANT: Ask yourself whether you would want to be warned about your minor child’s drinking and sexual exploits or be kept in the dark, and you’ll have your answer. ooo DEAR ABBY: My 5-year-old son, “Miles,” is passive, kind and a genuinely sweet kid. He has made friends with some neighborhood kids who are his age or a few years older. While watching them play I have noticed a few of the more aggressive boys tackle, push or kick him and — at one point — even punch him. Afterward I asked Miles why he didn’t stick up for himself. He said he didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Obviously, I don’t want my son engaging in fighting or resorting to violence. However, I am torn as to

Abigail Van Buren Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

whether I should intervene. I have talked to Miles about how friends should treat each other. With that in mind, he ought to be able to say “stop” when someone gets too rough. Should I step in to correct the other child? Should I speak to the other parents? Or do I allow my son to work it out on his own? — HELICOPTER MOM DEAR MOM: If you step in and “correct” the other boys, it will make your son appear weak. If you speak to their parents, it will make those boys resent your child. If Miles were my son, I would sign him up for activities where he will be part of a team. It will give him self-confidence, help to improve his athletic skills, make him more physically fit and introduce him to children in addition to this particular group. ooo DEAR ABBY: I was widowed a year ago and joined a support group for widows and widowers.

(I am 50 years young.) Through this group I met a gentleman, “Robert,” who lost his wife two years ago. We became friends and have since fallen in love. I would like to think we have a future together. Recently, I have been feeling guilty about our relationship, as though I am “cheating” on my late husband, and I’m wondering if this is normal. Should I keep these feelings to myself or discuss them with Robert? Should I go to counseling? Perhaps the one-year anniversary of my husband’s death has brought out these feelings. I’m remembering our last days together and feeling guilty about having started a new relationship. I don’t want to hurt Robert or push him away by bringing this up if this is a normal phase most widows go through. — STARTING OVER IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. DEAR STARTING OVER: If you are not completely over the death of your husband, then your feelings of guilt are understandable. When they occur, please remind yourself that you lived up to your wedding pledge “until death do you part.” Because you and Robert are part of a support group, this is a subject it might be helpful to raise with the other members. As to discussing it with Robert, I recommend that you do. Far from pushing you apart, it may bring you closer. And if your feelings of guilt persist, by all means discuss them with a counselor because you have every right to be happy.

ODDS AND ENDS Woman jailed for sending text threats to herself SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — An Orange County woman was sentenced to a year in jail for sending hundreds of threatening text messages — to herself. Prosecutors said Jeanne Mundango Manunga told police her former boyfriend and his sister-in-law were behind the threats. Manunga was sentenced Friday in Santa Ana Superior Court. She was convicted in May of three felony counts of false imprisonment by fraud or deceit and two misdemeanor counts of making a false police report. Prosecutors said Manunga started sending the threatening messages after she and her former boyfriend stopped dating in 2008. Manunga also was placed on three years probation and ordered to pay about $50,000 in restitution.

DC man steals Metrobus, crashes into tree WASHINGTON (AP) — Metro Transit Police officials are investigating how a 19-year-old D.C. man was able to steal a Metrobus, crash it into a tree and ultimately abandon the bus when officers stopped the vehicle. Police said they arrested the man on Friday and charged him with unauthorized use of a vehicle and fleeing an accident. No injuries were reported. According to preliminary reports, the man is not a Metro employee but entered a bus facility wearing a bus driver’s uniform and drove a bus out of the lot. He allegedly drove the bus about three miles before crashing into a tree in southeast Washington and continued driving it several blocks until Metro police stopped the vehicle after a 911 call about the accident. The man allegedly fled the bus and was apprehended shortly after. See answer, page 2A

Support your daughter and her mistakes Q: Our daughter has turned her back on everything we ever taught her, and it’s breaking our hearts. Now she’s moved in with a man who’s only taking advantage of her (for example, she has a job, and he won’t get one). She’ll barely even talk to us. What did we do wrong? -- Mrs. N.Y. A: No parent is perfect; we all can look back and think of things we could’ve done to help our children be better prepared for adulthood. And sometimes it’s best to admit it to them and encourage them to learn from our mistakes. But ultimately your daughter alone is responsible for the decisions she has made. You tried to teach her the difference between right and wrong when she was younger; you did so both by your words and by your example. But now she has willfully turned her back on all this and chosen to go her own way. She isn’t a puppet or robot; she has a will of her own, and she has deliberately chosen this path. The problem is that this path will only lead to heartache, insecurity and tragedy. Satan always promises happiness -- but his promises are a lie, and eventually your daughter will reap the tragic consequences of her rebellion. The Bible warns, “The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction” (Galatians 6:8). Pray for her, that God will open her eyes and help her see she’s on the wrong path in life.

RALEIGH (MCT) — Companies that get government incentives would be exempt from undergoing nose-to-tail examinations of their environmental impacts on air, water and surrounding communities, under a change in law expected by the legislature. The changes were triggered by a Wake Superior Court judge’s ruling in May regarding Titan America, an international company with a controversial plan to build a cement plant in New Hanover County. The judge ruled that Titan had to do a full environmental review before it sought air and water permits. One of the conditions that triggers a comprehensive review is the use of public money. The company and the state said that the incentives promised the company didn’t count, but the judge disagreed.

I called the company’s spokesman, Jennifer Pendergrass, on Friday, and she told me no definite plans had been posted yet, but it is still possible that a franchisee is developing plans. As for the Phase II construction taking place beside King’s China Buffet at the Shops at Sanford, I understand that a very popular product may be opening a retail store there, though I cannot divulge it just yet. Also, there may be a wellknown clothing store coming there as well. Stay tuned.

Once lauded, BP no corporate citizen By RACHEL BECK AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — Milton Friedman once said companies can’t be socially responsible because they only exist to make as much money as possible. The late Nobel laureate economist would appreciate what’s going on now: A historic environmental disaster caused by a company that went out of its way to tout itself as the ideal corporate citizen. BP spent the past decade using splashy ads to promote itself as a green company. It even ditched the name it had for nearly 60 years, British Petroleum, and built an image that it was looking out for a better world. What those ads glossed over is that the oil business remains dirty, dangerous and carbonspewing. And it’s expensive, making the temptation to cut corners greater every time the

price of crude drops a nickel. BP was the vanguard of the movement known as Corporate Social Responsibility. If an oil company could change, then capitalism itself could be transformed. So we bought it. We even gave BP the benefit of the doubt when a disregard for safety caused an explosion at its Texas City refinery in 2005 that left 15 workers dead. Then came the explosion of a BP oil rig April 20 in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers and setting off what is now the largest oil spill in Gulf history. This time, BP can’t hide behind the green and yellow sunburst on the corporate logo, not when the evidence shows the company neglected safety and fought regulation to boost profits. Being socially responsible, it turns out, was just a marketing gimmick. Google the phrase Corporate Social Responsibility, or CSR, and more than 5.6 million

entries pop up, many of them companies talking about all the good they’ve done. BP has taught us that talk is cheap, and raises questions about whether companies can do the right thing and make money. “There’s often more spin than substance when it comes to social responsibility,” says Curt Weeden, an expert on such issues who runs the consulting firm Business & Nonprofit Strategies Inc. in Charleston, S.C. “Companies want to take credit for things that they ought to be doing anyway.” There isn’t one way to define CSR. Sometimes it means being more environmentally conscious, or upholding human rights. It could also be eliminating harmful business practices, donating to charities in their local communities or having strong ethics policies. You’ve probably come across

Jobless won’t face debit card fees RALEIGH (MCT) — Most of the fees associated with debit cards issued to the unemployed by the N.C. Employment Security Commission have been eliminated. The debit cards, designed for providing weekly unemployment insurance payments to those who don’t have a checking accounts, were introduced in 2007 as a convenience and to reduce costs, said ESC spokesman Larry Parker. Since then the agency estimates that it has saved more than $16 million, principally from avoiding printing and mailing unemployment checks. But fees on the debit cards irritated some ben-

esterday I spent the day with a family relocating to the area from metro Atlanta. He is moving because his job is being relocated due to the Base Realignment and Closure, commonly known here as BRAC. So can BRAC be beneficial to Lee County, Moore County and Harnett County? What would be considered beneficial? Was participating in the Lee and Moore County’s relocation fair in Atlanta worth it? A lot of people seem to think

that all the periphery counties are going to get are the crumbs from Cumberland County in the BRAC moves. That may be true, but we benefited as early as eighteen months ago when one of the project managers for Hensel Phelps (building the BRAC headquarters) purchased a home in Carolina Trace. I think that many people are willing to consider our community IF they know about the community. So the first thing we have to do is sell them on the community. How do you do that?

Well, just putting on an expo like the one in Atlanta tells people that you are interested in THEM. Whether they even get to the expo, having ads in their paper and on post may get them thinking about which place might suit them best. Many of the folks who attended the fair do not live in Atlanta or even suburbia. Many of them have a pretty good drive in the exurbs, and their current commute probably exceeds what

companies pitching CSR. Maybe you’ve seen an ad from a soda company saying it’s studying healthier ingredients, or a clothing manufacturer promising safe working conditions for employees in its factories abroad. CSR has become an industry. Consultants help companies map out CSR strategies, and executives with big titles oversee CSR programs. Business schools have incorporated corporate citizenship into their curriculums to teach upcoming leaders how to make positive social, environmental and economic impacts. Companies use CSR programs to build brand loyalty and make personal connections with customers. There can be a payoff: 70 percent of consumers say they would pay a premium for goods from socially responsible companies, according to a recent poll of 1,001 adults by market research firm Penn Schoen Berland. Of that group, 28 percent said they would pay at least $10 more for a product because of the social responsibility link. “It’s easier to market that you’ve invested in wind power or solar power than if you’ve invested in safety systems

because most people wouldn’t understand new safety systems,” says Trina Hamilton, an assistant professor at The State University of New York at Buffalo. At BP, executives promoted the idea that they turned British Petroleum into a company that was “Beyond Petroleum.” Yet, they fought against stricter regulations and failed to improve its safety practices. “There was no impact of CSR at BP,” says Fabian Pattberg, a consultant who works with companies on implementing social responsibility programs. “It was a house of cards doomed to fail.” BP’s stock has been cut in half since the rig exploded, losing about $85 billion in market value, and BP suspended its quarterly dividend to help pay for the billions it now faces in cleanup costs. You have to give BP credit — at least for chutzpah. It’s still trying to pitch itself as socially responsible, this time for establishing a $20 billion fund to compensate victims of the oil spill. It also wants credit for paying $100 million into another fund to help oil workers sidelined by the moratorium on deepwater drilling. This time, though, nobody’s buying the message. Cute logo or not.

it would take to go from Lee County to Ft. Bragg. Selling a community is about quality of life issues: schools, affordability, recreation, proximity to work and to shopping. It’s, as I’ve said previously, about choices, and Lee County offers a diverse set of options that are appealing to many. For our business, if just one or two people did business with us as a result of participating in the expo, our effort and expense would be repaid. Is BRAC beneficial?

that the overwhelming favorite among the responses was not Target, but high-end grocer Harris Teeter. Home Depot was also a favorite. I guess I can understand Harris Teeter. Those stores are very nice. But the Lowes Foods on Spring Lane is at least comparable to that chain’s Apex and Aberdeen locations. As for Home Depot, I’ve never understood people’s obsession with

to make the change without reversing the judge’s Titan decision, which the company didn’t think was fair. John Merritt, a lobbyist for the company, said Titan is being treated differently from other companies that receive incentives. “The only company caught in this no-man’s land is Titan,” he said. Most legislators want to change the law to make sure incentives no longer count as public

money under the environmental law. They say requiring full environmental reviews would chase companies to other states. “If we don’t approve this, a company will just go to Virginia or Georgia or some other state,” said state Rep. Bill Owens, an Elizabeth City Democrat. “If we don’t do it, we will have a hard time getting businesses to come or expand.” But others said the state should not subvert

environmental policies to benefit industries. “This is an issue of expediency versus the environment,” said Rep. Phil Haire, a Sylva Democrat. “This has no other purpose than to speed up a project ... I see this as selling our environmental soul for a bag of gold.” The House was expected to take a final vote on the bill early today. The Senate also was set to vote again, approving it.

“by–passed.” Growth allows values of homes to rise, businesses to be started and maintained, jobs to be sustained. Growth doesn’t have to be super fast, because then infrastructure costs explode. BRAC is a potential source of residential growth, and if we market ourselves well, an opportunity for job growth as well. Last week I attended the NC Defense Business Association luncheon in Fayetteville. There were an array of businesses represented, from First Citizens Bank (who was a sponsor) to the Holiday Inn Bordeaux (promoting conference capabilities) to a gentleman whose consulting business teaches companies who wish to do business with the government how to become compliant. I sat at a table with a woman who

works for the government of Israel promoting trade and commerce and a man whose company provides physical barriers. The barrier company is from New York, but has opened a subsidiary in Lillington. Lee County was represented by Bob Heuts from the EDC, county manager John Crumpton, and county commissioner Ed Paschal. My goal in attending was to see what kind of people and companies are interested in doing defense business. My question was how to we get some of them to be based here. If someone can locate in Lillington, Lee County should be a good location, too. LTG James Pillsbury was the speaker, and the statistic that spoke to me was that while NC is one of the leading states in the country in terms of the

number of service personnel, it is only 26th or so in the amount of military contracts awarded. So there is an opportunity to grow the defense contract business in NC, and those businesses need a good location like Lee County. So my take is that, yes, BRAC is and can be beneficial to the area and specifically, Lee County. Like most things in life, we have to go get it, the work and the people will not just come to us.

that place. It’s a lot like the Target/Walmart debate I guess, but Lowe’s is just as good, if not cheaper, than Home Depot. And we have a Lowe’s as well as several good local building stores like Lee Builder Mart. Maybe it has something to do with Tony Stewart, though he doesn’t drive for Home Depot anymore. One particular reader was upset that I mentioned Dunkin’ Donuts without giving a nod to Sandra’s Bakery in downtown. I guess he was right — Sandra’s

is delicious, after all. But the purpose of this column is to inform the readers on new things coming. Dunkin’ Donuts is coming. I’m sorry. That same reader agreed with me on Chick-Fil-A, which is good, but he also sug-

gested Steak & Shake. I have to agree there, too. Those places are great. I also like Red Robin and their bottomless steak fries. Thanks for the responses, and keep them coming.

Merck cost-cutting brings closings RALEIGH (MCT) — As Merck officials await regulatory approval to begin commercial production at a new vaccine plant in Durham, the company is cutting back other places. Merck announced that it plans to close eight research labs and eight manufacturing plants worldwide. The closings are part of a broader cost-cutting effort following its $41 billion acquisition of rival Schering-

Plough last year. The restructuring also is tied to a plan to eliminate about 15,000 jobs, or 15 percent of Merck’s work force. Meanwhile, Merck expects to receive word this month from the Food and Drug Administration to begin selling vaccines made at its Durham facility. Two more phases of expansion at the plant are expected to be ready in 2012. The facility is expected to employ about 400 people by the end of this year. Other big drugmakers, including Pfizer and Glaxo SmithKline, are scaling back operations amid increasing competition from generic medicines and slowing sales. Merck will shut research labs in Cambridge, Mass., and in Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany and Scotland. The company will close manufacturing operations in Miami Lakes, Fla., and in Italy, Portugal, Mexico, Brazil and Singapore. After the site closings, Merck will have 16 major research facilities and 77 manufacturing plants. — The News & Observer

Swipe, blow, sip — Wine vending machines hit stores By KATHY MATHESON Associated Press Writer

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Swipe your driver’s license, look into the camera, blow into the breath sensor and — voila! — you have permission to buy a bottle of wine from a vending machine. Pennsylvania, which has some of the most Byzantine liquor laws in the nation, recently introduced the country’s first wine “kiosks.� If the machines are successful in their test run inside two grocery stores, the state Liquor Control Board could place the high-tech alcohol automats in about 100 others. But does anyone want to buy wine this way? It seems the answer is yes. Customers using the machine at a Giant supermarket outside Harrisburg were thrilled that it could be a permanent fixture. “This is just convenient one-stop shopping,� said Darby Golec, 28, of Enola. “It’ll be nice to have it all in one area.� The vending machines are a testament to both the wonder of technology and

Individuals can buy wine and liquor for home consumption only in state-owned stores staffed by public employees. Private beer distributors sell cases and kegs only. Licensed corner stores, delis, bars and restaurants can sell beer to go, but only up to two six-packs per customer. Numerous attempts at reform have been turned back by special interests intent on keeping their

slice of the pie. So simply stocking Chianti and cabernet on supermarket shelves is not an option under the state’s post-Prohibition liquor laws. The liquor board has tried to be more consumer-friendly in recent years, including opening 19 full-service state stores in supermarkets. The board touts the kiosks as another step toward modernization — “an added level of convenience in today’s busy society,� liquor board Chairman Patrick Stapleton said in a statement. Not everyone is swallowing that line. Craig Wolf, president and CEO of the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America, questioned the

machines’ efficacy in preventing sales to minors. Keith Wallace, president and founder of The Wine School of Philadelphia, described the kiosks as well-intentioned failures with limited selections and overtones of Big Brother. “The process is cumbersome and assumes the worst in Pennsylvania’s wine consumers — that we are a bunch of conniving underage drunks,� Wallace wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. “(Liquor board) members are clearly detached from reality if they think these machines offer any value to the consumer.� Conshohocken-based Simple Brands provides the kiosks free in exchange for the ability to sell ads on attached flat-screen monitors. The machines are about the size of four large refrigerators, though the wines are kept at room temperature. An ATM-type device sits at one end. A customer chooses a wine on a touch-screen display, swipes an ID, blows into an alcohol sensor (no contact with the machine is required) and looks into a surveillance camera. A state employee in Harrisburg remotely approves the sale after verifying the buyer isn’t

drunk and matches the photo ID. State officials say the process takes 20 seconds. The kiosks only take credit or debit cards, and they’re closed on Sundays and holidays. A “convenience fee� of $1 would be added after the pilot phase. The machine got a warm reception at Giant, where customers asked lots of questions and perused brochures describing the 53 available wines, from Argentine malbecs to California merlots. Simple Brands President Jim Lesser doesn’t anticipate much business from connoisseurs, but they’re not the targeted demographic. “They were developed for the average consumer who wants a nice bottle of wine with their steak and seafood,� Lesser said. Japan and Europe have beer vending machines, but Lesser said the selfserve alcohol concept probably wouldn’t have worked in the U.S. until now. Today, he noted, Americans use kiosks for everything from buying movie tickets to checking in for airplane flights.

Exit surveys show customers like the wine kiosks’ convenience and easy use, and early sales have exceeded expectations, said Lesser. Eventually, the machines may be seen in other states, he said. Wendell Young IV, president of the union representing state wine store workers, anticipates some new jobs, from remote camera staffing to kiosk restocking. The number of jobs depends on sales, he said. Local vintners are watching the initiative closely. Lee Miller, owner of Pennsylvania-based Chaddsford Winery, said she’ll support anything that might boost sales. “If they’re not going to put it on the shelf, I think it’s a great way to offer wine to people,� Miller said. Bob Mazza, owner of Mazza Vineyards near Erie, is disappointed that none of the approximately 120 wineries in the state are represented in the kiosks. “You would think they would subscribe to the idea to support local industry,� Mazza said.

to devote to these two goals. To avoid shortchanging yourself, take full advantage of your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan. Contribute as much as you can afford right now, and whenever you get a raise, increase your contributions. At the very least, put in enough to earn your employer’s matching contribution, if one is offered. Your 401(k) accumulates on a tax-deferred basis, and your contributions are generally made with pretax dollars, so the more you put in, the lower your taxable income. You aren’t conďŹ ned to investing in a 401(k), either, because you can also put money into a traditional IRA, which accumulates tax deferred, or a Roth IRA, which accumulates tax free, provided you’re at least age 59½ when you start making withdrawals and you’ve held your account at least ďŹ ve years.

Gen X’ers Must Consider Needs of Three Generations If you’re a member of Generation X — the age group born between 1963 and 1981 — you may well be in the busiest time of your life. You’re probably in the early to middle stages of your career, for one thing, and if you have children, they’re likely still at home. Yet despite the hectic nature of your days, you still have to look after the ďŹ nancial concerns of your children, yourself and possibly even your parents. This three-generational effort may seem challenging, but with some planning and persistence, you can help your family make progress toward a variety of goals. To begin with, let’s consider the needs of your children. Obviously, you’re already providing for their living expenses, so from an investment point of view, your biggest concern may be how you’ll help them pay for college. Here’s a suggestion: Put time on your side and start saving as soon as possible. You might want to consider opening a 529 college savings plan, which offers potential tax advantages. Saving for college is important — but so is saving for your own retirement. Consequently, you’ll have to ďŹ nd the right balance of resources

for your own retirement, you’ve got one more generation to consider — the older one. For example, you’ll need to make sure your parents have adequate ďŹ nancial protection for their health care expenses. If your parents have saved and invested throughout their lives, they may not need any ďŹ nancial help from you — but that doesn’t mean you’ll never be called upon to straighten out their affairs. That’s why now is the perfect time to ask your parents some key questions: Where are your assets located? Do you have a will? How about a durable power of attorney? You might think these inquiries will make you sound “selďŹ sh,â€? but the opposite is true: The more you know about your parents’ ďŹ nancial situation and estate plans, the bigger help you’ll be to them, and to other members of your family, if the day arrives when your parents need some assistance. It may not always be easy to act on behalf of three generations — but it’s worth the effort. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

Lord, please upset us

Good grief! “G

ood grief!” is an expression you often hear in today’s world. Perhaps you have used those two words on occasion yourself. I certainly have. One would think that the combination of the two words good and grief would qualify to be considered an oxymoron. Certainly all that I have ever known or seen that was called grief was not something that most people would believe to be good. Grief is an intense state of emotional shock. We experience grief whenever our security is threatened, when there is a traumatic reversal in our plans and hopes, at the death of someone we love, when a cherished relationship is fractured, or when something special for which we have planned or yearned goes down the drain. Grief is a universal emotion that invades our lives when our dreams are shattered. So how can grief be good? Look at it this way. Grief is the healing process given to us as a gift of God. If I received a severe blow to my head, I would become dizzy, see stars, or become unconscious. The more serious the blow, the longer it would

coordinated with the Sierra Club, which has forged alliances with organized religion since its former director, Carl Pope, acknowledged in a 1997 speech the environmental movement had erred by shunning such ties. “Different people have credibility with different segments of the population,” said Lindsey Moseley, the group’s Washington representative. “The oil spill is ultimately a matter of values, which for many people are rooted in deeply held religious beliefs.” Organizations including the National Council of Churches and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops have issued statements calling for soulsearching. Some are providing ecologically themed online resources — prayers, liturgy, scripture readings — for use in worship services. “We have used God’s creation without regard for the impact our rapacity had on the other creatures with whom we share our earthly home,” reads a model

hristianity was never intended to perpetuate the status quo; to help people feel comfortable in their culture and lifestyle; to make folks feel okay with their sin and wrongdoing. It was meant to upset them enough to bring them to Christ who alone can forgive and change them. It was meant to radically change this world because its course is nothing more than a pathway downward toward hell and destruction. The Christian faith was not delivered to us by a teacher in an ivory tower but by a carpenter who hung on a cruel cross. It is radical and life altering, without apology. There is, today, a strong leaning toward stifling the Christian message in almost every arena of life. We are told that Christianity is no longer welcome in government, in schools, in the workplaces and in our communities. The only place we are “allowed” to preach and practice the gospel is in our churches and our homes and I believe even those two places will face restrictions sometime in the future. It seems whenever Christians stand up

Pastor Eddie Painter gives a sermon to churchgoers at Barataria Baptist Church in Lafitte, La.

Green religion movement hopes spill wins converts By JOHN FLESHER AP Environmental Writer

NEW ORLEANS — Where would Jesus drill? Religious leaders who consider environmental protection a godly mission are making the Gulf of Mexico oil spill a rallying cry, hoping it inspires people of faith to support cleaner energy while changing their personal lives to consume less and contemplate more. “This is one of those rare moments when you can really focus people’s attention on what’s happening to God’s creation,” said Walt Grazer, head of the National Religious Partnership for the Environment. Activists in the movement often described as “green religion” or “eco-theology” are using blogs and news conferences to get the word out. Some are visiting the Gulf, inspecting oil-spattered wetlands and praying with idled fishermen and other victims. And believers in the stricken coastal regions are looking at the consequences of the oil’s reach and asking what good can come

out of it. During worship services on a recent Sunday, pastor Eddie Painter of Barataria Baptist Church in the fishing village of Lafitte told his congregation a silver lining in the tragedy might be renewed government commitment to restoring the region’s battered coastal marshlands. “I actually didn’t think I would be as deeply affected as I was by seeing oil in the water, the birds with oil stains, the marsh grass that had turned a shiny brown,” said the Rev. Jim Ball of the Evangelical Environmental Network, who recently toured Louisiana’s Barataria Bay by boat. Another delegation was scheduled to arrive in New Orleans on Tuesday for an interfaith prayer service and tour. Among the participants are Jim Wallis of the progressive Christian group Sojourners and Rabbi David N. Saperstein of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. Both have served on President Barack Obama’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Their appearance is being

But in case no one has mentioned it lately to you, the ugly truth is that skin cancer, from the sun exposure you may think looks healthy, can lead to big trouble. Everyone should be doing a self-exam on their bodies, looking for any dark spots that are new, abnormal, or have changed in appearance. A partner can help inspect those hard to see places, as well. You are not only looking for a tick that has overstayed its welcome, but also areas that could develop into skin cancer. If you have any suspicion that there may be an abnormal growth occurring, go immediately to a dermatologist for their opinion. There are three basic kinds of skin cancers. Basal cell

Fewer subscribers, but more readers

(Blogger Keith) Clark suggests The Herald’s “biasâ€? is causing it to lose subscribers. If that’s the case, wouldn’t you think we’d be losing online readers as well? It turns out, if you include our total circulation and the number of online readers sanfordherald.com has on a daily basis, then you could accurately determine that more people are reading The Herald today than at any point during its Billy Liggett peak in circulation (roughly the 1980s). According to site figures from Google Analytics, The Herald averaged 2,085 site visits during the month of June (typically a down month because of summer and vacations). On our best day (June 24), we had more than 3,000 visits. On our worst (June 19 .. a Saturday), we had more than 1,300. Our best day this year was May 25 ‌ we had nearly 5,000 unique site visits and nearly 15,000 page views that day. In other words, the readers are there ‌ in fact, our online readership used to be higher (on average) until we implemented a “log-inâ€? function to avoid anonymous comments, which began to litter the landscape. — billyliggett.wordpress.com

Family Fourth Festival slide show

I walked down to Depot Park in downtown Sanford for the annual Sanford Family Fourth Festival. This day is really all about the kids, as they enjoy festivities from chalk drawing, a pets parade, face paintings and games sponsored by the Lee County YMCA. I had a great time pho-

tographing and the kids were having a blast. It was a perfect day outside and the event ended with a pie eating contest that pleased the crowd. Wes Beeson I hope you enjoy my soundslide presentation as much as I did photographing it. (Visit Wes’ blog to view his photo slideshow) — beesonpics.blogspot.com

Behind the scenes for the start of a new coaching era Inside the Southern Lee gym, milling about to at once meet future players and their parents as well as size up potential members of his coaching staff, was freshly minted Cavaliers coach Tom Paris, who at dusk only the day before had been named as Southern Lee’s third head coach in as many A. Podlogar summers. It’s been a whirlwind 2 1/2 years since Southern Lee stunned conference champion and No. 2 seed South Johnston in the state’s biggest upset of the first round of the playoffs. Mounting losses have gone hand-in-hand with abuse allegations and he-said, she-said bickering since the program’s signature moment. Caught in the crossfires have been the studentathletes who were once considered the foundation of a burgeoning program on the rise. With the constant chaos enveloping them, who could blame these kids for allowing football to take a back seat in their lives?

TECHNOLOGY IN FOCUS

Tech firms aim to keep wayward walkers on path By BROOKE DONALD Associated Press Writer

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Todd Atwood says he doesn’t worry too much about accidents when walking down the street using his iPhone to make calls, send text messages or check his e-mail. But he’s seen the consequences of paying more attention to the gadget than what’s ahead. “I saw someone walk right into a sign,� recalled the 32-year-old Silicon Valley resident. “She didn’t hurt herself but she was startled. She dropped her phone, then her friends starting laughing at her. It was funny but I guess it could’ve been more serious.� While using a cell phone while driving has triggered the most alarm bells and prompted laws in several states, experts say, pedestrians are also suffering the consequences of mobile distraction — tripping on curbs, walking into traffic, even stepping into manholes as they chat or type while walking. To help these sidewalk stumblers step out more safely, technology companies are now stepping in, creating applications that do everything from make a smartphone screen transparent to transform speech into text. Whether the technologies will prevent injuries and embarrassment remains to be seen, they are being welcomed as a move in the right direction. “I don’t think we’re going to eliminate people from walking into things outright and of course we want people to be responsible, but what we’re trying to do is eliminate the friction point ... and give the user back a little

Aliph’s Jawbone earpiece incorporates voice-to-text technology which eliminates the need to glance down at the keypad to send an e-mail or text message. It also has caller ID that speaks to the wearer so he or she doesn’t have to pick up the phone to see who is calling and a function that allows wearers to call up their contacts using their voice rather than fingers. “All of this gets rid of the need to touch your phone, which causes your eyes to move away from what’s in front of you,� Bogard said. Other programs also on the market aim to make it easier to type while walking. They tap into a smartphone’s camera to beam an image of what’s in front of the user over the message screen so typers can see what’s ahead. They include Text Vision, Type n Walk and Email ‘n Walk. “See-through screens, yes, would solve part of the problem,� said Clifford

Nass, a professor of communications at Stanford University and one of the authors of a study on multitasking. “But there’s still a second problem, which has to do with engagement of the brain.� Same goes with voiceto-text technology, Nass said. “It can help a little bit but the fundamental problem is that we’re stuck with brains that can’t do all that much when we’re doing other things,� he said. Two years ago, the American College of Emergency Physicians issued an alert warning of the dangers of text messaging while walking, driving, biking and in-line skating based on anecdotal evidence from physicians. Manhattan physician Mark Melrose said he’s seen his share of nearmisses on the city’s busy sidewalks and heard of bad accidents. “A personal friend almost walked right into a manhole while looking at her phone,� he said. “Another friend was actually run over by a bike messenger. She wasn’t paying attention, walked into the street and the bike messenger walloped her.�

If you follow tech blogs or watch a few infomercials, you know that inventive minds are always coming up with new households gadgets meant to make life easier. Here’s a look at a few of the more ingenious ones. Luc Jacobs of Boca Raton, Fla., curates an online gadget site called CleverandEasy. com. He likes Racor’s Gravity bike rack, a freestanding sturdy rack, so no bolts or supporting wall studs to worry about. It’s available at Amazon.com for $49.99. The Newline folding kitchen scale gets a nod as well. It’s a compact digital scale that unfolds for weighing, collapses into a sleek steel cylinder, and even has a builtin timer (Amazon, $39.99). Australian engineer Wilson Lee’s useful ReZap battery charger not only replenishes the juice of rechargeable batteries but will also revive non-rechargeables, from the tiniest AAAA to a 6V lantern battery. At pctreasures.com, $59.95. The MagnoGrip wrist band is a handy, magnetized, ballistic nylon cuff you can dock small hardware on while you work. There are tool belts and even suspenders in the product line, which starts at $15.95 at magnogrip.com. The Freeloader Pro solar charger ($79.99) uses sun energy to power up a host of electronics, even power-gobbling e-readers, portable DVD players and cameras.

prayer on the Council of Churches’ website. The push for an ecological Great Awakening since the oil spill began in April has come from liberals as well as theologically conservative groups such as the Evangelical Environmental Network, which previously sponsored an ad campaign with the slogan “What Would Jesus Drive?� that called for more fuel-efficient vehicles. In a resolution this month, the Southern Baptist Convention declared that humanity’s “Godgiven dominion over the creation is not unlimited, as though we were gods and not creatures� and called for “energy policies based on prudence, conservation, accountability and safety.� “Caring for creation is an extension of loving your neighbor as yourself,� said Russell Moore, dean of Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville, Ky., who wrote the statement. Disagreements persist, especially over public policies like climate-change legislation. Painter, the Lafitte preacher, criticized the Obama administration’s fight for a moratorium on offshore drilling, saying it

and proclaim Christ as the only way and appeal to the Bible as the basis for truth, the crowd that preaches tolerance becomes extremely intolerant. It is not right, but it is not surprising. Christianity began in a hostile culture and it actually grows and thrives best in such an atmosphere. The Scripture says of the children of Israel in Egypt, â€œâ€Śthe more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied.â€? Exodus 1:12. It wasn’t until the early church was persecuted

would worsen unemployment in the struggling community. “I think we’re called to be good stewards of God’s creation,� said Painter, who’s also a part-time crab fisherman. “But I have no patience with people who are using the situation to push a political agenda.� But some scholars say their response to the oil spill at least suggests an emerging agreement that environmental issues are fair game in houses of worship where they were long ignored. “Very few of the world’s religions were making any statements about the environment 20 years ago, and now virtually all of them have,� said Mary Evelyn Tucker, a historian of religion and founder of Yale University’s Forum on Religion and Ecology. “The challenge is to put them into practice.� Even people with no specific religious beliefs are recognizing a spiritual dimension in the Gulf tragedy and taking a deeper look at their energy use, Tucker said. “There is a yearning for meaning and purpose and being able to contribute to something larger than ourselves,� she said. The disaster may help replace longstanding divisions based on dogma or culture with “a new kind

of consensus that isn’t liberal or conservative, left or right, but focuses on stewardship of creation, care for the poor and accountability for corporate leaders,� Wallis said. Moore, a native of “God-fearing, pro-defense, Republican-voting� Biloxi, Miss., said the creation care message is resonating in his home state as oil spoils its Gulf coastline and batters its economy. For progressive believers, it’s an easy sell. But many conservatives consider eco-theology a distraction from the church’s primary mission of winning souls — or even a stalking horse for socialism or earth worship. In Louisiana, where loyalty to the oil and gas industry remains strong despite the BP disaster, opposition to fossil fuels sometimes doesn’t go over well. “God put the oil there. He put it there for us to take dominion over and use responsibly,� said Gene Mills, director of the Louisiana Family Forum. Ball said it’s understandable that some believers would embrace creation stewardship in theory while resisting specific measures that change their way of life. But making fundamental change is what religious commitment is all about, he added.

that it fanned out to the reaches of the Roman Empire and soon became the dominant religion in the world. The gospel message upsets people, and then it saves them. Praise God. I believe that the problem in America has long been our apathy. We have been comfortable in our Christianity and we have gotten complacent and impotent. Believers lives seem little different from those that don’t believe and therefore they have no impact upon the unsaved. People need to see that Christ truly makes a difference in every area of life before they will con-

sider making Him Lord of their own. They won’t listen to the message until they see that message affecting the messenger. Like everything else, results win converts. Please join with me in praying for a true revival in our country. One that is so powerful and life altering that CBS, CNN, the Times and the Post HAVE to report on it; a revival that causes pulpits to be aflame and pews to be emptied in a rush to the altar. The Bible speaks about a faith that upsets people enough to change them completely. Lord upset us; it is our only real hope.

HEADACHES Within a matter of several weeks, the treatment my son received at Ammons Chiropractic ended his severe headaches. All through childhood, my son experienced occasional headaches, usually occurring suddenly, and sometimes severe enough that sleep provided the only relief. At age 15, he began to have headaches more frequently, sometimes several times in a day, and three to four times a week. Conventional medical blood tests revealed no clues, an eye exam and an MRI showed nothing abnormal, but the headaches continued. My son could feel a difference seconds after the ďŹ rst treatment, and within two weeks experienced no more of the debilitating head pain. He also has peace of mind instead of fear of a headache striking at any time. After seeing the beneďŹ ts to my son, I also received orthogonal treatment for neck pain and tightness, a sensation of “crimpingâ€? that I never seemed able to stretch out, and which had plagued me for probably 25 years. One treatment was all it took to relieve the neck tightness – and after a year, my neck remains comfortable and correctly aligned. Ammons Chiropractic personnel are consummate professionals, careful, methodical, gentle and absolutely committed to seeking solutions. Judith Edmonds

Sanford Lions Club

Plans for the Sanford Lions Club’s 75th Anniversary celebration on Aug. 5 are quickly taking shape now, according to Avron Upchurch, who chairs a committee of past district governors from the local club that was charged with making arrangements for the historic mark. Upchurch reported on the group’s progress at the club’s weekly dinner meeting July 1, which was the first meeting led by new President Dr. Marvin Joyner. Heading the program will be a special visit and address by new International Lions President Sid L. Scruggs III of Vass. Also expected to attend will be two members of the International board of directors, according to Upchurch. The ladies’ night banquet will be catered by Sanford’s Chef Paul with a reception beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the Lions Fairgrounds followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m. Special entertainment is also planned. In addition to Up-

church, the committee consists of other past district governors still active in the Sanford Lions Club including Russel Mann, Milton Somers, Tony Williams, Roy Jernigan and Dave Martin. The local club has been a statewide leader in producing district governors with a dozen since 1938. The club was chartered in 1935. Guest speaker for the weekly meeting was Dr. Angela Bright-Pearson of Sanford, a clinical audiologist who owns Bright Audiology on Carbonton Road. She described the latest technologies available to persons with hearing disorders and stressed that the number one cause of hearing loss is noise. She urged everyone to use ear protection devices when in the presence of noise such as any type of machinery or lawn care tools. Also, people are warned to reduce the volume of music, especially the use of earphones as seen with many young people. She urges citizens to seek the services of audiology professionals who provide effective analysis and diagnosis of hearing loss problems and who will refer patients to other medical professionals if problems indicate the need. Her education includes a master’s degree in audiology and speech pathology from UNC-Greensboro and a doctorate in audiology from the University of Florida. She has taught at UNC-G and UNC at Chapel Hill and served on state audiology boards. She was accompanied by daughter, Hannah, who assisted by distributing literature to the group. Preston Spence was program chairman and introduced Dr. BrightPearson. He also delivered the invocation while Bob Nelson led the club in the Pledge of Allegiance. A special guest and prospective member was Jon Joyner, a math teacher at Lee County High School who is the faculty liason with the Brick City Leo Club, a teen organization affiliated with the Lions Club. Song Leader John Byrd led the club in the singing of “America, the Beautiful,” in honor of the July 4th holiday.

Jonesboro Rotary Club The Jonesboro Rotary Club marked the first meeting for new President David Spivey. Mikael Basinger gave the invocation. Former President Kate Rumely solicited Yvonne Bullard to help her carry the new banner to the podium to present to President Spivey. Robert Gilleland announced that the Tuesday Night Music Club was playing on Thursday at Depot Park and he invited everyone out to hear them. Ed Terry decided to declare it a family of Rotary event. Yvonne’s family presented her with balloons and roses in celebration of her “39th” birthday — again. Bragging bucks were down this week as the club had three but only collected for two. Alan Finlayson bragged on the new addition that is going to start at Sanford Rehab and he also invited everyone to the fireworks Sunday evening at Ammons farm (right beside Sanford Rehab). Bullard finished the brags with one for her family remembering her upcoming birthday on Monday. Howard Bokhoven

Larry Aiken mentioned the possibility of using unused golf rounds from corporate memberships at Carolina Trace as a possible way to help non profits. Larry Aiken, International Service Director, reported on the water project for Mexico. The club currently has $7,000 from clubs in the area, but needs to get to $35,000 total from the District for a special match to get $1,000,000 for the project. Ed Terry, New Generation Vocational Service Director, reported that Michele Bullard and himself are working to get Rotaract restarted at CCCC and about starting an Interact club at San Lee Middle School to continue the work at Greenwood Elementary and J Glenn Edwards Elementary.

visited our town. President Mitchell shared an e-mail from former club member, Bob Cline. Bob noted that the challenge of Polio Plus is still before us. The 25 countries which had become polio free have now experience a resurgence of the disease. India is one of these countries. A larger than usual number of club members participated in bragging for bucks. Bud Taylor reported on the College World Series taking place in Omaha, Neb. Several members of his family are alumni of participating schools. P. J. Patel bragged on his son, whose team is advancing in the Little League playoffs. Tom Dossenbach’s grandson has won first and second places in recent golf tournaments. Lynn Sadler was proud to be the judge in a 4-H District Activity Day at Southern Lee High School. She judged 5- 8 year-olds for their speaking presentations, including the use of visual aids. Dick Poletti boasted that his son has become the principal of a high school at Newport. Ted Lanier added his words of appreciation for the service of our president, James Mitchell. Phil Richmond reported that Roberto is back at home in Mexico.

He attend high school at Greenwood, where Don Buie was his coach. Payne reported on a number of activities involving children and youth during the summer months. One program for three and four year olds has 216 enrolled. Swimming and gymnastics are popular programs during the summer. Parks and Recreation facilities are host to a number of groups, including the Girl Scouts, who will be using San Lee Park. Park facilities are also available to people traveling on campers and motor homes. Some are passing through, while others use the parks as a base for visiting relatives in Lee County. A major project currently underway is repairs to the dam and spillway at San Lee Park. A fund raising project was successful in bringing in $27,000 for non-budgeted improvements. The Temple Sloan Foundation is funding the purchase of 10 additional acres at the O. T. Sloan Park, which will provide an additional access to the park. Increased traffic on Bragg Street has sometimes interfered with access at this location. A building is planned that will provide space for gymnastics, basketball and volleyball. A skateboard park is also in the planning stages. San Lee Park has a fivemile mountain bike trail, which will eventually be extended to 10 miles. In

are neglected, and rarely metastasize, unless they are not removed. Although they are slow growing, the can eventually eat into and destroy the underlying tissues of eyes, eyes, nose or bone. There are several treatment choices for removing basal cell tumors; however the larger the area of concern, the more chance is has of returning. Squamous cell carcinomas are the second most common skin cancers. The cure rate, once treated early, is 95 percent . These are more difficult to identify since they are often thought to be eczema or other non-cancerous skin spots. Often times areas resembling little pearls appear on the area in question or they can just look like a red, scaly patch. A biopsy of the area is mandatory for diagnosing and removal techniques are similar to that of the basal cell carcinomas. The most dangerous of all are the melanomas, of which there are several kinds. Look for an area of brown, tan, black or red colors with irregular, or haphazard, borders. Some can form a blueberrylooking nodule and may have a smooth border. Biopsy of the area and removal are essential as soon as possible. These are the skin lesions that

can spread cancer through your body the fastest and are responsible for three times the number of skin cancers as the others. It is easy to misdiagnose yourself, since skin cancers may look like some of the common benign growths such as warts, seborrheic kerotosis, actininc kerotosis and hemangiomas. If you have had a history of sun exposure, whether recently or early in life, always include a yearly visit to the dermatologist for their complete inspection, just to be safe, and more frequently if an area appears to have grown or changed. It’s important to develop good sun-exposure habits at any age. We know that sun damage is cumulative; that is to say, it only gets worse, not better, with further exposure. The most important rule, of course, is to limit your time in direct sun. I feel taking a break not more than every 30 minutes with steps to cool the skin down is essential. If you have an ice cooler for drinks, either use some of the cooled water to spray or splash on your warmed skin, or apply the cold water with a large cloth directly to the sun-exposed areas. Cooling the skin will help prevent further cooking of fine delicate tissue, and thus reduce permanent damage. If you are near a cold shower or a sink where you can add ice cubes and

a squeeze of lemon to the cooled water, all the better. A full-body cool down may be an important post-sun step for healthy skin. After sun-exposure, stand in the cool shower of water until you skin stops tingling. If you have a sun burn, the cool water may sting for a few minutes, but stay there until the pain goes away and your skin becomes cool. I like to keep a spray bottle of pure water in the refrigerator all summer for a quick cool spray throughout the day for after yard work or a warm weather walk. To this you can add some chamomile or rosemary that you have steeped on the stove. The soothing warmth of the sun can lull us into complacency, making it easy for us to forget that melanoma rates increase with sun exposure. Even when people think they are protecting themselves, they may not be. Keep your wits about you this summer. Remember: unless you take steps for healthy skin, the tan will fade, but the skin damage may not. Dr. Yerby is a naturopathic doctor, located between Pittsboro and Chapel Hill.

Infant immunizations Special to The Herald Dr. Mitchell Reese, a Sanford pediatrician who’s practiced since 1980, hasn’t seen a case of red measles in his entire 30-year career. For Reese, there’s a simple explanation for that: the widespread practice of immunizing infants. When Reese started his career 30 years ago, one common disease which had a tendency to cause meningitis in infants was h. influenzae. But with the advent of a vaccine in the late 1980s, Reese said he’s all but seen it go away. “Before the vaccine, I would do two and three spinal taps a month to look for meningitis in young children,� he explained. “And since the vaccine came out, I really don’t do any spinal taps. I do maybe one a year.� According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, vaccines are successful and cost-effective public health tools used to prevent disease and death. And because infants are so much more susceptible to disease than most adults, infant immunization is that much more important. Reese said that in

the first 18 months of a child’s life, he or she should receive vaccines for tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, polio, h. influenzae, pneumococcus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rotavirus, chicken pox, red measles, German measles, mumps, and even the flu. “If a baby catches any of these at an early age, they’re much more likely to have a fatal or severe outcome,� he said. “None of them are prevalent now, but before the immunizations were available, they were highly common and could be highly damaging.� While the parents of an infant are required to give consent before a doctor administers any vaccine, Reese strongly

Dr. Mitchell Reese

recommended that they do so. “They’re all proven to be safe,â€? he said. “Parents should get their children fully immunized with the vaccines currently available without fear that they’re going to cause the child harm. People fearing ingredients which are potentially harmful, the whole business with fear of autism being caused by vaccines ‌ it’s just not true. The vaccines are safe and beneficial.â€? Reese said that in Sanford, at least, fear of vaccines hasn’t been a huge problem. “We don’t see much of that, luckily,â€? he said. “I don’t know what causes it. You hear a lot about it on TV, I guess, but most of our parents believe us when we say it’s all for the baby’s benefit. We don’t see a whole lot of parents who refuse to give them.â€? “What we do get is a lot of questions,â€? he continued. “Parents just want reassurance that what they’ve heard is not correct. We try to reassure them that a lot of that stuff is not true.â€? For more information about Infant Immunizations, visit http://www. aap.org

there were cucumbers to be peeled and diced for supper and later made into pickles. Ripe tomatoes were eaten straight from the stalk and some sliced for supplements to summer salads and additions to meals. Devouring the first tomato of the season was the culinary highlight of June‌and those M and M sandwiches (‘Mater and Mayonnaise) were delicious beyond words. Soon Paula Gayle Patterson and Debbie Mansfield, friends from the city, arrived for the summer to stay with grandparents on nearby farms. They showed up in their “citifiedâ€? clothes, and I relished my reunion with these girls from another planet. Boys and television did not excite us — we had better things to

do. We talked endlessly about school and what we were going to be when we grew up — one day it was a nurse, another a teacher; for me it was never a farm wife. As animal lovers we noticed the big ticks on dozens of dogs and knew our work was cut out for us — we formed a tick company and got out the tweezers, plucking the bulging blood suckers from thick manes. In the yard we played Hop-Scotch, Hide-and-Seek, Ring around the Roses, Simon Says, or Red Light-Green Light, and climbed trees. I especially enjoyed our walks to the Puzie’s Pond below our house where I showed them how the fish would come up and eat right out of my hand. We fed the ducks and watched the turtles peep out of the water and

then we three would-be stars created a song and dance routine on the dam. Meanwhile, the boring boys in the community kept their distance while they enjoyed Kick the Can and rolling old car tires everywhere and using them for inner tubes for swimming at Puzie’s Pond. Often Paula Gayle, Debbie and I looked for four-leaf clovers — lucky charms, you know — and always tied the white flowers into long chains for necklaces. Sometimes we laughed so hard our stomachs hurt... and other times we lay quietly on our backs in the grass and watched the clouds. Someone would say “that cloud looks like a.....� or at night one of us would comment, “that star is where the

goddess Helena lives� and the cosmic explorations began. We were Sisters of the Sky! Debbie and Paula Gayle came and went throughout the summer as either Debbie’s grandfather Carl Mansfield or Paula’s uncle Clayton Lawrence brought them to visit since both grown-ups enjoyed setting a spell at Grandpa’s country store. They told me of living in houses in a row on paved streets — so unlike the farm where Lett land stretched for 400 acres around us and formed other settlements nearby. Debbie and Paula Gayle brought the city to me each summer, and I shared life in the country with them. Demands of the farm consumed my youthful summers but not so much that I couldn’t find time for play and

kinship with these new kissin’ cousins and soul sisters. We connected each year through communication, play and laughter, and bonded through expectations of long friendships and dreams of bright futures.

would not find fault with the wonder of healing. Rather, I would be amazed at the body’s resiliency when infused with the healing power of God. The same is true for our emotions. When any of the things happen that cause us to

experience the intense emotion of grief we will ache emotionally. There may be tantrums or outbursts, or we may withdraw, become unexpressive or hostile. Most of all we will want to find some vent for our anguish. Grief is not wrong; it is a natural part of the healing process. It is the way God created us. As I write these words the faces of people with whom I have stood at

gravesides flash before my mind’s eye. I can feel the pain of people to whom I have ministered as they cried out in anguish, “Why, God, why?� I have been there myself. So, how can anyone turn the struggle with grief into a stepping stone? Here’s how: First, we need to embrace grief as a friend. It is no more an enemy than sleep, rest, or the healing processes of the body. Grief is a gift of

God for the cleansing and healing of the emotions. And grief is an evidence of the capacity to love. The only people who never experience grief are those who do not care. It is not easy to go through a period of grief creatively. There are those who say at such times that if we had more faith we would not grieve. Not so! Others offer shallow statements such as: “It is God’s will! Just accept it!� or “Don’t grieve!� Jesus Himself was “a man of sorrows,

acquainted with grief� (Isaiah 53:3). The shortest sentence in the Bible, “Jesus wept� ( John 11:35) illustrates this fact. He came and dwelt among us. He is able to identify with us and meet our needs. God has the power to merge good and grief together. But, whatever its source, grief has a God-ordained time of duration. Those who linger in grief tend to forget that He who came and dwelt among us has promised: “I will be with you . . . ALWAYS.�
