AUG. 13: DANCING WITH THE LEE COUNTY STARS

ELECTION 2010

ENCORE!

Former sheriff hopeful eyes ballot

After the inaugural event all but saved Communities in Schools, Round 2 has high expectations

By BILLY LIGGETT bliggett@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — As Lee County’s emergency management coordinator, Shane Seagroves is used to handling tense situations and performing under fire. But no amount of training in the field could prepare Seagroves for the type of pressure he’ll face Aug. 13 when he’ll be called on to show off his moves in front of 500 to 600 people. “I would be greatly surprised if I don’t lock up on stage and have to be pulled off,” Seagroves said. “Today, it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal ... but I’m sure by Aug. 13, it will be a whole different story.” Seagroves and 19 other dancers and “stars” will fight off the butterflies and perform for a good cause at this year’s second annual Dancing With the Lee County Stars. The 10 couples are competing to see who can raise the most money for Communities in Schools, which will again host the event, to be held at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center. But come “dance night,” it’s their skills that’ll take center stage. CIS Director Heather Little hopes the opportunity to see friends, neighbors and well-known “local celebs” will draw the big crowd last year’s inaugural event experienced. Last year, a poor economy and nearly nonexistent bank account forced CIS to make the tough decision of whether

Democrats say choice will be announced in early August

to disband or hang its hopes on a major fundraiser. Adding to the uncertainty was the event itself — CIS chose the dancing fundraiser after hearing of its success in other counties. But Dancing with the Stars didn’t disappoint. The event exceeded expectations by nearly $20,000 and allowed CIS room to breathe and head into 2010 with more certainty. And while this year’s event is expected to raise more than 50 percent of the nonprofit organization’s total revenue, it’s not do-ordie if things don’t go perfectly. “We still need it to do well,” said Little, who took over at CIS this year after Laura Biediger left in the spring for graduate school. “Last year was a success because it was something new. Lee County had never seen something like this before.”

SANFORD — Local Democrats remain mum about a potential candidate for county commissioner this fall, although at least one man from past elections is in the picture. Butch Johnson, a one-time candidate for Lee County Sheriff with a long history in local law enforcement, said he submitted an application to run for the county’s District 4 seat last week and believes he’s made it to the “short list” of Democrats in the running. “I am rather Johnson optimistic about it,” Johnson said Friday. “But you obviously don’t want to get out and count your eggs before they lay.” Lee County Democrats closed the application process for candidates Saturday, and have scheduled an Aug. 2 closed-door meeting with local party members to vote on a replacement for former candidate Kenneth Cole. Cole bowed out of the race for the county commissioner

Today is Saturday, July 24, the 205th day of 2010. There are 160 days left in the year. This day in history: On July 24th, 1959, during a visit to Moscow, Vice President Richard Nixon engaged in his famous “Kitchen Debate” with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. In 1783, Latin American revolutionary Simon Bolivar was born in Caracas. In 1847, Mormon leader Brigham Young and his followers arrived in the Great Salt Lake Valley in present-day Utah. In 1862, the eighth president of the United States, Martin Van Buren, died in Kinderhook, N.Y. In 1866, Tennessee became the first state to be readmitted to the Union after the Civil War. In 1929, President Herbert Hoover proclaimed the Kellogg-Briand Pact, which renounced war as an instrument of foreign policy. In 1937, the state of Alabama dropped charges against four of the nine young black men accused of raping two white women in the “Scottsboro Case.” In 1969, the Apollo 11 astronauts — two of whom had been the first men to set foot on the moon — splashed down safely in the Pacific. In 1974, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that President Richard Nixon had to turn over subpoenaed White House tape recordings to the Watergate special prosecutor. In 1975, an Apollo spacecraft splashed down in the Pacific, completing a mission which included the first-ever docking with a Soyuz capsule from the Soviet Union.

Retired bishop recovering after cerebral hemorrhage PINEHURST (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Retired Roman Catholic Bishop F. Joseph Gossman suffered a cerebral hemorrhage last week that will require several months of rehabilitation, a spokesperson for the Diocese of Raleigh said Friday. Gossman, 80, was admitted to Moore County Hospital in Pinehurst on July 15, and underwent extensive tests. Doctors expect to transfer him to a rehabilitation facility this weekend, said Frank Morock, spokesman for the Catholic Diocese of Raleigh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bishop Gossman is comforted in knowing of the many prayers being offered on his behalf throughout our diocese,â&#x20AC;? said Bishop Michael Burbidge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As always, he remains for us a wonderful example of faith and trust in our Lord Jesus and in His abiding presence.â&#x20AC;? Gossman led the diocese for 31 years, becoming the longest-serving diocesan bishop in the United States. He stepped down in 2006 when Burbidge was named bishop. During his tenure, immigration nearly overwhelmed the small diocese, which encompasses 54 counties in Eastern North Carolina, from Chatham to Dare. Managing the growth was the signature of Gossmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure. A genial and gentle man, he is considered a good listener and a passionate spokesman for social justice. Upon his release from the hospital he will recuperate at St. Joseph of the Pines, a Catholic health care facility in Southern Pines. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Raleigh News & Observer

Director updates status of local Boys & Girls Clubs

his week, we Take 5 with Bo Hedrick, the executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sanford, which is preparing to celebrate its 15th year in Sanford. A native of Catawba County, Hedrick began working in Boys & Girls Clubs in 1989, and graduated from East Carolina University in 1993. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the Lee County executive for the clubs for 12 of the 15 years theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been existence, taking a threeyear hiatus to work on the National Boys & Girls Clubs of America staff in Atlanta and Jackson, Mississippi. A member of Grace Chapel Church, Hedrick and his wife Denise have two children, Tristan and Sharlee, and reside in Sanford.

: Earlier this year, back in February, the Boys & Girls Club reported a difficult financial situation related to the loss of a few major grants. How is the club doing financially at this point? At his point, we are financially stable. We had to close for one week at the beginning of summer and had planned to close for an additional week at the end of summer to keep operational costs down. However, due to the positive response of our local government, businesses, individuals and civic clubs, we are proud to announce that we will continue this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations through Aug. 20. We will be closed for workdays Aug. 23-24, but will reopen the first day of school for the fall session, on Aug. 25.

: Have you had to make changes in the fee structure to raise support? Yes. In the past, the summer fee was $32 for the entire summer. This year we have had to charge a $32 registration fee and a weekly fee of $20 for O.T. Sloan members and $10 for our Church Street site members. For the weekly fee the members have access to the Club for 57 and a half hours per week and they receive a USDA approved breakfast and lunch at no cost to them. We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change our fall registration, though. Our plan is to follow the system that we used last school year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a $32 registration fee for the school year. For busing, if the member comes from a Lee County School that has a club site on its bus route and the bus isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t full, that member may request an after school ride to the club. If the member has to ride a Boys & Girls Club bus, there will be a $1 per day fee for this service, which will be paid monthly. We will begin the fall application process on August 2nd.

: Has the change in fees impacted participation in the clubs? We are averaging about 275 per day between our two sites as opposed to 300 to 325 last year. We still have slots n Lori Beth Hernandez, 28, was charged Friday at 1135 Carthage St. with failure to appear.

: What have been some of the program highlights from your 2010 summer session?

Our members have taken college campus tours, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent many days at the county pool, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had field trips to, among other places, Emerald Pointe, Chuck E. Cheese pizza, the N.C. Museum of the Arts, and trips to bowl and to the movies. We even had a small group go to Baltimore for a baseball camp this past week. In addition, our club will host its first Quickball tournament on July 30. We will have an estimated 250 club kids from around the state to converge on O.T. Sloan Park where they will meet the State Attorney General, Roy Cooper, and play ball against agents from the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation. This is all part of the Cal Ripken â&#x20AC;&#x153;Badges for Baseballâ&#x20AC;? program that our club and many others across the state participate are participating in this year.

: In general, how do you perceive the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to your recent financial woes and what does your financial forecast look like for the near future? As for community response to our need, it has been very encouraging to see folks return to the ways of old.

operations to the tune of about 75 percent of our budget. In the past eight years, large grants have made up sometimes half of our budget. We were able to lean less on our community, even getting out of the local United Way system for three of those years. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community response has been an endorsement of sorts to us. It has shown us that our community believes in what we are doing and they want us to stay viable for the children that we serve. They learned that we were in need and are answering the call to help out. In regards to a financial forecast, with the pledged support that we currently have, we anticipate a solid financial picture until the end of this calendar year. We are pursuing grant opportunities at this time but these have been very difficult to acquire in the past 12 months due to the increased competition and limited funds that are available. Our hope is that our community will continue to support the efforts throughout the year and that people will remember us with their end of year giving plans. The community has supported the club by volunteering in many different ways. One notable example is the late Bill Lawrence, who sadly passed away this week. Bill was a founding board member and he and his wife Isabel have continued to support us financially through the years. His enthusiasm and giving spirit will be missed by all associated with Boys and Girls Club of Sanford.

Perdue should think twice before backtrack The Greensboro News & Record

Before the governor changes her tune and allows expediency to carry the day, she needs to consider the possible consequences.

ov. Bev Perdue chose an odd time to waffle on the subject of video gambling. As she signed a bill Wednesday banning computer-based video sweepstakes effective Dec. 1, the governor cracked open the door to legalizing video poker-style games somewhere down the road. Her apparent wavering comes after she lent full support to the General Assembly’s hard-fought initiative to pass the legislation she was signing into law. However, in tough eco-

nomic times, principle can be trumped by pragmatism. And with the state’s budget shortfall next year possibly reaching $3 billion, new tax revenue sources become all the more inviting. Sweepstakes proponents have contended all along that regulating the industry and tax-

ing rather than eliminating it would pump millions of dollars into the state treasury and help stem the flow of red ink. Sen. Julia Boseman, D-Wilmington, offered a bill that would have brought Internet-based gambling games under Lottery Commission control and taxed them. It went nowhere. Could the governor have something like that in mind? If so, she needs to stake out her position. Despite intense industry lobbying, the General Assembly held fast that the Internetlinked machines promote an insidious form of wagering that entices those who can least af-

ford to play. The state’s sheriffs association, which opposes legalizing video poker-style games, cited numerous criminal activities associated with their proliferation. Some involved law enforcement officers taking bribes. Before the governor changes her tune and allows expediency to carry the day, she needs to consider the possible consequences. Any benefits from an enhanced tax revenue stream must be balanced against the human costs in sanctioning even more gambling.

Loose dogs always ruin my morning treks To the Editor: My name is Kelly Thomas and I am a UNC Chapel Hill doctor of physical therapy candidate, currently residing in Sanford. I am writing in regards to the dog population in Sanford. I am a long-distance runner, training for a 40-mile race, and around 5 a.m. on Friday or Saturday mornings, I trek out for runs of increasing mileage. This weekend, I have a 20-mile training run. It never fails, during my runs I am always chased by dogs. They are not stray dogs ... simply dogs whose owners let outside them without supervision. It’s quite frightening, and I have tried to plan my runs down different streets to avoid the dogs. But it doesn’t matter which street I run on, there are always dogs out. Would it be possible for an article be written about owners not leaving their dogs outside unattended? I looked to find information on a leash law for the city, but wasn’t very successful. I would like to continue running, but without being chased by dogs. KELLY THOMAS Sanford

Offended by suggested name for pizzeria To the Editor:

t’s a savage wilderness, here in my city yard. From a distance, it looks like a Victorian postcard — a pastoral scene of sweet flowers, sun-kissed vegetables and trilling birds. The reality is considerably rougher. Hang around, and one sees a Darwinian jungle of predators and prey. The Animal Planet’s “Untamed & Uncut” program has nothing on my backyard. There are lots of birds this year, but for a brutal reason. At least one coyote had apparently been killing and dragging off neighborhood cats. Fewer cats, more birds. I know a coyote was around last year because I saw him (or was it a “her”?). He was trotting down the middle of my tree-lined street baring that trademark creepy smile. (Coyotes are not a friend to humans, either. They recently attacked small children in a New York suburb.) Shortly after, signs were power-stapled on the telephone polls reporting cats gone missing. Sadly, we know what probably happened to those beloved felines. But such tragedies — plus the decision by some cat owners to keep their pets indoors — have enabled the bird population to recover. Thus, cardinals, blue jays and other Major League mascots are now blessing the trees and power lines with song. The exploding bird population, however, has led to some rather violent scenes at the birdbath. For example, every morning several fat robins do their ablutions. When sparrows try to join them, the robins run them off. That doesn’t bother me much, because as cute as sparrows can seem, they are an invading species (native to England). They run around in packs and kill the American blue bird. I don’t care to encourage sparrows. Of course, bird proliferation has unleashed mass panic in the worm world. Worms are precious little helpers in the garden, and I do all I can to make them feel welcome. But the moment dawn touches the dewy lettuce leaves, a robin crashes to the earth and takes off with a squirming worm in its beak. Nothing is free in this world. As for mammal traffic, my backyard might as well be the African Serengeti. Squirrels leap about, burying nuts, unburying nuts, drinking from the birdbath and, in winter, trying to break into the bird feeders. I’ve also spotted skunks, raccoons, opossums and bats, among other warmblooded creatures. I once picked up a big zucchini plant leaf and found a whole rabbit family living under it. No, I will not chase away the bunnies, except when they munch on a prized hosta. But I have at times put down Critter Ridder to discourage the squirrels. If that also sends the rabbits elsewhere, I can live with myself.

An unwelcome gift

n a poignant moment at William Friday’s 90th birthday party last week, current UNC President Erskine Bowles stopped by to express regards to his predecessor. Later, in a video, Bowles praised Friday for his leadership and wisdom.

Today’s Prayer

I read the recent article about the new pizza restaurant coming to Sanford (re: “Cheesus Crust Pizzeria”). One of my favorite foods is pizza, but as much as I love it, I will not be patronizing that particular dining facility. The name is offensive to me. To my understanding, any light irreverent use of, implication of or allusion to God or Jesus in a way that does not exalt Him is taking His name in vain. Pizza or not, if the name is not changed, I won’t be eating there, and I hope the Christians in Sanford who feel the Bible is specific about this will make the same decision. ROSE MITCHELL Sanford

Editorial cartoon was irresponsible journalism To the Editor: Why do you promote distortion of the truth with such a cartoon as in Wednesday’s paper? The Republicans did want the unemployed to be paid an extention of unemployment pay, but they wanted it paid out of the unspent money from the stimulus package passed some time ago. But no, the Democrats want to add it to our already staggering debt. This is totally irresponsible journalism as usual by you people. TORRENCE HARDIN Sanford

Web comment RE: WILLIAMS CHOSEN AS NEW BOARD CHAIRMAN Looks like they are off to a good start. The availability and use of laptops sounds like a step in the right direction. I know it must be costly but if it helps students learn, well, isn’t that what education is all about? Let’s hope this new board will continue to worry more about what goes into a student’s head rather than be obsessed with what that student is wearing on its head. — berrymoore

Commander: move to create jobs By PAUL WOOLVERTON The Fayetteville Observer

FAYETTEVILLE (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The U.S. Army Reserve Command, whose headquarters will move to Fort Bragg next year, has become a highly trained force and a partner to business, Lt. Gen. Jack Stultz said Wednesday. Stultz, the commanding general of Reserve Command, spoke to about 80 people at a North Carolina Defense Business Association breakfast in Fayetteville. The Reserve has worked out ways to help itself and business

and industry train and hire skilled people for jobs ranging from truck driving to medical care, Stultz said. Further, he said, the move to the Fayetteville-Fort Bragg community is drawing high-level people to the area. The Reserve Command is the branch of the Army that is in charge of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 207,000 Army reservists. Around 30,000 are on active duty, assigned to missions worldwide, he said. Headquartered in Atlanta, Reserve Command is moving to Fort

Bragg over the next year and will share a building with the Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Forces Command. The move is scheduled to finish in September 2011. Reserve Command will bring about 1,400 to 1,500 jobs to Fort Bragg. One-third are soldiers, one-third are civilian employees and onethird are contractors, Stultz said. The move is creating job openings because many of the personnel based in Atlanta plan to retire or stay there, Stultz said. Hundreds of people are applying for the jobs, he said, including retired and soon-to-

retire soldiers. One is a former Fort Bragg garrison commander, he said. Meanwhile, over the past several years the Army Reserve has learned to work with businesses that have difficulty finding qualified people to fill job openings. Although the Reserve has a few combat units, most of its personnel have support roles such as medical, engineering, transportation, logistics, mechanics or civil affairs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;all those forces that enable our Army to do what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing,â&#x20AC;? Stultz said.

Duke scientistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer research questioned DURHAM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Concerns are being raised about the validity of research done by a Duke University cancer scientist who recently was placed on leave while the school investigates whether he falsely claimed to be a Rhodes scholar. The editor of a British journal, Lancet Oncology, issued an â&#x20AC;&#x153;expression of concernâ&#x20AC;? Friday, citing a December 2007

seat last month, citing concerns about potential conflicts raised with his current position as town manager in the Harnett County municipality of Coats. Democrats are seeking a torchbearer to face off against GOP candidate Jim Womack this fall. The winner of the election will assume the seat of Commissioner Jamie Kelly, a Democrat who opted out of a bid for re-election. Party Chairman Ty Stumpf on Friday declined to confirm or deny speculation that Johnson is the favorite to joust with Womack, pointing to the Aug. 2 meeting as the decisive day for local Democrats. Stumpf said earlier this month that county party leaders were set to winnow down applications to send for a full party-wide vote in August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been talking

study it published from Dr. Anil Potti and others. The study described gene patterns that might help predict a breast cancer patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to chemotherapy. The journal said two of Pottiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-authors had contacted them this week on behalf of 15 European scientists involved in the study with â&#x20AC;&#x153;grave concerns about the validity of their report.â&#x20AC;?

Statisticians at the University of Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; M.D. Anderson Cancer Center had questioned methods used in the study, the co-authors wrote. The co-authorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; repeated attempts to reach Potti and other researchers at Duke had been ignored, they claimed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A large group of scientistsâ&#x20AC;? also wrote to National Cancer Institute Director Harold Varmus, expressing concern

about the validity of methods involved, and asked that three ongoing clinical trials be suspended until an independent review can be done, the statement from the medical journal says. Potti could not be reached via e-mail for comment, and a home telephone number could not be found. Duke officials did not reply to e-mails or phone calls requesting comment.

to a lot of good people,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that the party will back whoever replaces Cole. Johnson said Friday that he believes some Democrats are â&#x20AC;&#x153;leaningâ&#x20AC;? in his direction, although he said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know of any potential names circulating in party talks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they wanted me to run, then I would love to,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would cherish the opportunity.â&#x20AC;? Johnson ran an unsuccessful campaign for Lee County Sheriff in 2006 against current Sheriff Tracy Carter. He mulled another run for the office in 2008, but backed out after he learned locals seemed to approve of Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance. Johnson was a member of the Sanford Police Department for eight years, a deputy with the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office for 10

years, and a local magistrate for 20 years before he retired. He said he also worked in insurance, and has had a longtime interest in public service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people need a common-sense approach to our problems,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you need to be far right or far left. People just need a good common sense approach.â&#x20AC;? Johnson said his background has prepared him

for juggling the responsibilities of a Lee County commissioner. Still, he said Womack â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a candidate who garnered solid Republican support in the primaries and has a head start on campaigning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; could be a tough obstacle to surmount. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Womackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a viable candidate,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he may be tough to beat, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to try.â&#x20AC;?

It might have been too popular — there were an estimated 800 people on hand, packing the civic center’s main auditorium and putting a strain on the restaurants on hand for the Taste of Lee County (another big draw for the event). Food ran out quickly, and moving around the crowd was difficult. To ensure there’s enough food (and breathing room) for everybody, CIS is cutting off tickets at between 500 and 600 people. Still, that’s an intimidating number for dancer Kelly Buie-Godfrey, who’s been paired with The Herald’s Jonathan Owens. Buie-Godfrey, an aerobics instructor at Sanford Nautilus and Racquetball Club, said said she’s a little scared ... and she’s hoping the lights will be so bright when she’s on stage that she can’t see the crowd. Not that she’s worried about the nerves taking over. She and Owens have been practicing two days per week for the past month, and they plan on practicing more as Aug. 13 approaches. “Preparing is time consuming, and it has been a little stressful learning the choreography,” she said. “But it’s been a lot of fun, and I have really enjoyed working with Jonathan.” She said the audience can expect surprises from the duo. “We are working on a routine that we don’t want anyone to forget,” she said. “We have an excellent coach, Shelby McConnell from Kelly’s School of Dance. I don’t know

MORE ON THE SHOW The second annual Dancing with the Lee County Stars, hosted by Communities in Schools of Lee County, will be held at 6 p.m. Aug. 13 at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center. The event will feature “A Taste of Lee County” — a pre-show reception highlighting samples of signature dishes and heavy hor d’oeuvres from some of our area’s finest chefs — including: Amy’s Confection Company, Cafe 121/Chef Hamm Inc., Fusion Catering, Jeff and Lisa’s Brickhouse Grill, The Steele Pig, Harris Wholesale, Sanford Coca Cola Bottling Company and more. Celebrity emcee will be Mike Wheless from WQDR 94.7 FM. Celebrity judges will include Peggy Taphorn of Temple Theater and Beverly Badget from the Lee County Fair Pageant. The doors will open about 6 p.m. for mingling and sampling the food offered by the participating restaurants. The show will begin about 7 with the main feature — the competition for who will be the next “star” will begin about 8. For tickets or to donate to your favorite couple, call (919) 718-5426, go online to www.dancingwiththeleecountystars.com or visit the event’s page on Facebook. Tickets are $75 each. Votes are $10 each. what we’d do without her expertise.” The two aren’t the only ones who’ve put in a lot of hours getting ready. Dancer Michele Bullard of the Lee County United Way said she and partner Micah Tyler rehearse twice a week. Seagroves’ partner, professional dance instructor Lynn Smith, didn’t return from vacation until just recently, and in the past week, the two have practice two hours a day for five straight days. They’re also practicing in Fayetteville, which adds two hours for his commute. “Mentally and physically it s been very intense and somewhat intimidating learning the steps,” he said. “But we have a professional dance instructor and we have a wonderful coach Roderick Gooden who has been great to work with. I cannot remember the last time I

laughed as much and as hard as I have in the past five days.” All the dancers say the hard work has been worth it, because the money raised is going to a good cause. “The biggest thing we all need to focus on when that fear creeps in is why we are doing it,” Seagroves said. “It is for the kids.”

THE COUPLES ROGER KING and HOLLY HIGHT n Roger King is the environmental, health and safety, site services, site operations and security director for the Pfizer pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Sanford. “As a resident of Sanford, I understand the issues facing our young people, especially when it comes to staying in school and getting a quality education. I am proud to represent Pfizer Sanford in the Dancing with the Stars

fundraiser, to help raise awareness of the good work being done by CIS in Lee County and to raise money to further their efforts with our young people.” n Holly Hight is a native of Sanford who danced with Kelly’s School of Dance for 15 years. Her mom is retired from The Lee County School System and her dad is the special projects editor at The Sanford Herald. After graduating from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in dramatic arts, Holly packed her bags and moved to New York City. She has had roles in film, commercial, print, tv, and most recently on HBO’s “Little Britain USA.” She sayd, “Communities In Schools is a wonderful organization that can change lives and hopefully change minds on the importance of dropout prevention organizations. Please help support this effort.”

JONATHAN OWENS and KELLY BUIE-GODFREY n Jonathan Owens is the news editor at The Sanford Herald and has been with the paper for six years. A native of Moore County and a graduate of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he hopes to represent the Tar Heels well in the event, even if his partner is an ECU Pirate. But mainly, his goal is to finish higher than the paper’s entry from 2009, Billy Liggett. n Kelly Buie-Godfrey is a native of Broadway. She currently works full-time with Lee County Health Department as a family nurse practitioner. She has been an aerobics instructor for 15 years and works with Sanford Nautilus and Racquetball Club. Kelly’s hobbies include taking hip-hop dance with Kelly’s School of Dance, running, cycling and hunting.

DEATH PENALTY CASES

STATE BRIEFS

Researchers find race disparity researcher at Northeastern University in Boston. They studied reports to the FBI on 14,749 North Carolina homicides between 1980 and 2007 in which victims and suspects were identified as black or white. The researchers compared those cases against 352 death sentence cases. A little more than 1 percent of those suspected of killing blacks were sentenced to death, compared to nearly 4 percent of those suspected of killing whites, said Radelet. He has found similar results in studies involving capital cases in Florida and Louisiana. Race remained an important predictor of who was sentenced to death even after statistically separating the effect of other factors, such as whether a killer took the lives of multiple victims and whether a murder was accompanied by other felonies such as rape or robbery, Radelet said Friday.

By EMERY P. DALESIO Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A convicted killer is three times more likely to get a death sentence in North Carolina if the victim is white rather than black, according to researchers who have found similar results in other states. The report comes weeks before a deadline for death row inmates to challenge their status under the Racial Justice Act, a state law that allows statistical evidence to be used to support a claim that race was a key factor in a death penalty decision. North Carolina is the second state after Kentucky to adopt such a law. It aims to prevent black defendants from being punished more harshly than whites. The study was conducted by Michael Radelet, a sociology professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and Glenn Pierce, criminology

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What it means is like so many other things in our society, race matters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; explicitly or implicitly,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What this shows is the death penalty is a government program like the post office, and as a government program itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administered by lessthan-perfect people. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on.â&#x20AC;? The president of the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys decried the study after a brief review. Prosecutors balance many factors when deciding whether to pursue a capital case, said Seth Edwards, the top prosecutor in Martin, Washington, Tyrrell, Hyde and Beaufort counties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I strongly disagree with the implication that prosecutors base their decision to seek the ultimate punishment on the race of the victim or the defendant,â&#x20AC;? Edwards said in an e-mail to The News & Observer of Raleigh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prosecutors do not look at skin color. We consider

lots of things, but race is not one of them.â&#x20AC;? Radelet said he and Pierce have studied the effectiveness of the death penalty for 30 years, often finding it wanting. They decided to study race in North Carolina capital cases after the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Assembly approved the Racial Justice Act last year and there were few studies available on the subject, Radelet said. He admits that not every factor used by prosecutors in decisions to seek death was included in his study. He said the racial disparity in death penalty convictions could be explained by other factors including prior criminal records, or whether the defendant and victim were family or strangers. A broader study might also examine the races of the prosecutors involved in death penalty decisions, the races of the trial judges, and the races of jurors who serve in capital cases, Radelet said.

N.C. DMV INVESTIGATION

Workers disciplined for accepting gifts

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Allegations that dozens of state Division of Motor Vehicles employees improperly took gifts and meals from a state contractor were significantly exaggerated, according to the results of a state probe released Friday. Commissioner Michael Robertson said that while the extent of unethical gift-giving wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as bad as initially feared, 14 employees have been disciplined, with sanctions ranging from required counseling

to five-day suspensions without pay. No employees were fired, and all 14 must undergo ethics training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The actions and activities of a very few, coupled with false accusations, have dishonored the entire division,â&#x20AC;? he said. When the probe was launched last fall, contractor Verizon Business, which has a $51.5 million computing contract with the agency, produced documents alleging that 62 people had taken 206

meals or snacks for free, at a combined worth of nearly $8,900. The DMV investigation, though, found that 19 of the 62 werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t employees of the division. Another 12 employees were exonerated by the probe, while the allegations against 10 others couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be proved or disproved. All told, the report found that 20 employees got free meals or snacks in 80 separate incidents. Six of them have since retired.

The allegations against the DMV workers prompted Gov. Bev Perdue last fall to expand a ban on the receipt of gifts from outside firms with state business. Although the current contract has been revised and expanded, it has largely been in place since the mid-1990s, Robertson said. The commissioner doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the meals affected the terms of the contract, but he said the appearance of impropriety is bad enough.

Gov names panel to help overhaul Highway Patrol

NC-based support unit gets new commander

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gov. Beverly Perdue has picked the team she wants to lead the way in overhauling North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s troubled Highway Patrol. Perdue announced the appointment of six people Friday to a panel thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to report its findings by Sept. 1. The members include a former chief justice of the state Supreme Court, a former appeals court judge, a former high-ranking FBI official, two University of North Carolina professors and the Mecklenburg County district attorney. The panel is tasked with making recommendations on the policies and structure of the patrol and on naming a new commander. Col. Randy Glover is leaving as commander at the end of August after a series of scandals in the department tarnished the Highway Patrolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation.

FORT BRAGG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The former commander of the 82nd Airborne Divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rear detachment at a North Carolina base is taking over a massive logistics unit that supported relief efforts in Haiti. Col. Johnny Jay Johnston will take command of the 406th Army Field Support Brigade from Col. Kenneth Charles Dyer on Friday. The ceremony takes place on Fort Braggâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Main Post Parade Field. The 406th consists of more than 1,500 military and civilians responsible for providing units with logistics and maintenance support. The unit deployed earlier this year in support of the 82ndâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2nd Brigade Combat Team.

Armed men rob home of Bobcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Stephen Jackson CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Police are investigating a home invasion and armed robbery at the home of Charlotte Bobcats player Stephen Jackson. Multiple media organizations reported Friday that three masked gunman entered Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in a gated community of million-dollar homes early Wednesday. Police said early Friday no arrests had been made. Officers reported the thieves took a 9mm pistol, a ruby-encrusted wristwatch, a Louis Vuitton wallet and other items. Jackson was in Texas for a basketball camp. His wife was home and was forced into a bathroom, where police found her. She wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt.

The British are coming by sea to train in NC CAMP LEJEUNE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The British are hitting the beach to train with North Carolina-based Marines. More than 2,000 British troops from the Third Commando Brigade are scheduled on Friday to practice a beach assault and seizure of a mock enemy airfield and village at Camp Lejeune. The British will be joined by nearly 4,000 Marines and sailors from the USS Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group and the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit. For the last ten weeks, British and U.S. forces have trained together, including landing American Harrier jets on British ships, and coordinating artillery and air strikes on mock enemy positions. The Royal Navy has been training off the eastern seaboard and in the western Atlantic since April.

NATION BRIEFS

Storm could kill sights and sounds

ON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) — Ships relaying the sights and sounds from BP’s broken oil well stood fast Friday as the leftovers of Tropical Storm Bonnie blew straight for the spill site, threatening to force a full evacuation that would leave engineers clueless about whether a makeshift cap on the gusher was holding. Vessels connected to deep-sea robots equipped with cameras and seismic devices would be among the last to flee and would ride out the rough weather if possible, retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said. “If conditions allow, they will remain through the passage of the storm,” Allen said in New Orleans. Bonnie made landfall south of Miami early Friday as a feeble tropical storm with top sustained winds of 40 mph. It broke apart as it crossed Florida and was a tropical depression as it moved into the Gulf, but forecasters expected it to strengthen slightly and roll over the spill site around midday Saturday. The ships holding the robots would be among the first to return if forecasts force them to leave, but they could be gone for up to two days, said Allen, the federal government’s spill chief. The mechanical plug that has mostly contained the oil for eight days will be left closed, Allen said, but if the robots are reeled in, the only way officials will know if the cap has failed will be if satellite

A worker prepares to secure cleaned and repaired oil retention booms at a staging area in Grand Isle, La. Tropical Storm Bonnie is expected to make landfall sometime Saturday along the Louisiana coast. and aerial views after the storm passes show oil pooling on the surface. Audio surveillance gear left behind could tell BP whether the well is still stable, but scientists won’t be able to listen to the recordings until the ships return to the area. Allen expressed increasing confidence in the experimental cap despite a few leaks that initially worried government experts. Scientists say even a severe storm shouldn’t affect the plug, nearly a mile beneath the ocean surface 40 miles from the Louisiana coast. “There’s almost no chance it’ll have any impact on the well head or the cap because it’s right around 5,000 feet deep and even the largest waves won’t get down that far,” said Don Van Nieuwenhuise, director of professional geoscience programs at the University of Houston. Crews of other vessels, including one boring the

tunnel meant to kill the flow of crude for good, spent Friday hauling in their gear and getting out of the storm’s way. Workers were pulling up a mile of pipe in 40-to-60foot sections and laying it on deck of the drilling rig so they could move to safer water, probably to the southwest flank of the storm. “Preservation of life and preservation of equipment are our highest priorities,” said Allen, a veteran of the Coast Guard’s rescue mission after Hurricane Katrina. Shell Oil also was evacuating its operations in the Gulf, moving out more than 600 workers and shutting down production at all but one well sheltered safely in Mobile Bay. At the spill site, the water no longer looks thick with gooey tar. But the oil is still there beneath the surface, staining the hulls of boats motoring around in it.

Strong winds and waves could help break up the oil further, but a storm surge also might push it into sensitive marsh areas along the coast. “Those are two opposite consequences and we’re prepared to move out and aggressively attack this once the threat has passed through,” Allen said. The foul weather has stalled progress toward killing the well and could delay until mid-August the sealing of the nearly two-mile underground shaft using mud and cement, Allen and BP say. BP had hoped to finish drilling a relief tunnel Friday, but had to plug it Wednesday to prepare for the storm. On the tiny resort island of Grand Isle off the southeast Louisiana coastworkers packed up the oil removal operation, tearing down tents, tying down clean boom and loading oil-soaked boom into large containers so it won’t pollute the area if the storm causes flooding. “Part of our severe weather plan is to remove all the equipment from the beach,” said Coast Guard Lt. Cmd. Nan Bangs. “We don’t want to take a chance on something damaging the sand berm or the houses along there.” Before the cap was attached and closed a week ago, the broken well spewed 94 million to 184 million gallons into the Gulf after the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon rig exploded April 20, killing 11 workers.

Dems ponder standing aside in Rangel case WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats nervously anticipating Rep. Charles Rangel’s ethics trial know all about the media frenzy and negative ads accompanying election-season scandals. They generated it themselves in 2006, when Republican Rep. Mark Foley was forced to resign in disgrace. Foley’s misdeeds stemmed from his dealings with House pages and efforts by Republicans, then in the majority, to ignore and cover them up. Rangel’s ethics charges raise questions about his management of money and taxes and his official role — and pose difficult choices for the party that won its majority in large part by vowing to run the most ethical Congress in history. Rangel has long acknowledged that his ethics troubles had no upside for Democrats in difficult re-election bids. The good news, he said at a news conference Friday, was that perhaps the matter would soon end.

Calif. city may have another recall on its hands BELL, Calif. (AP) — City Council members who make nearly $100,000 a year for governing this small, poverty-plagued suburb of Los Angeles must resign immediately or face a recall campaign, a community group warned Friday. The threat came hours after it was announced that the city manager, assistant city manager and police chief were stepping down

following a public outcry over their salaries, which total more than $1.6 million a year. In the wake of that scandal, residents have lost trust in Mayor Oscar Hernandez and three other council members, said Ali Saleh, co-founder of the Bell Association to Stop the Abuse. “We are happy that all three resigned but the fight doesn’t end here,” Saleh said.

Congressman: Stop horsing around with sports votes WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats and Republicans have put aside their differences this year to honor the likes of golfer Phil Mickelson, the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team, NASCAR driver Jimmy Johnson and the Penn State women’s volleyball team. But when it came time this week to memorialize the start of the 142nd season of the Saratoga race course in New York, one freshman lawmaker decided he’d had enough. “It’s an absolute embarrassment,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, announcing on the House floor a vow to vote against all future sports resolutions. He worried that there were kids in the visitors’ gallery who would go back home and, asked whether Congress was talking about war or debt, reply: “Oh no, they were honoring a race course.”

Famed reporter Schorr dies at 93 By BRETT ZONGKER Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Veteran reporter and commentator Daniel Schorr, whose hard-hitting reporting for CBS got him on President Richard Nixon’s notorious “enemies list” in the 1970s, has died. He was 93. Schorr died Friday at Washington’s Georgetown University Hospital after a brief illness, said his son, Jonathan Schorr. Daniel Schorr’s career of more than six decades spanned the spectrum of journalism — beginning in print, then moving to television where he spent 23 years with CBS News and ending with National Public Radio, where he worked until he died. He also wrote several books, including his memoir, “Staying Tuned: A Life in Journalism.” The famed political reporter nearly became a music reviewer instead. Beyond the dogged reporting, though, Jonathan Schorr, 42, said his father was warm, caring and someone who taught by example. “We’re incredibly sad, but at the same time, my dad had 93 amazing years,” he said. “I think all he could have wished for is a terrific, long life, where he accomplished

While at CBS, he brought Americans the first-ever exclusive television interview with a Soviet leader, Nikita Khrushchev, in 1957. During the Nixon years, Schorr not only covered the news as CBS’ chief Watergate correspondent, but he also became part of the story. Hoping to beat the competition, he rushed to the air with Nixon’s famous “enemies list” and began reading the list of 20 to viewers before previewing

it. As he got to No. 17, he discovered his name. “I remember that my first thought was that I must go on reading without any pause, or gasp or look of wild surmise,” he wrote in his book “Clearing the Air.” Schorr’s stories pointing out weaknesses of the administration’s programs so angered Nixon that he ordered an FBI investigation of the reporter — saying he was being considered for a top federal job. That investigation was later mentioned in one of the three articles of impeachment — “abuse of a federal agency” — against Nixon. In White House recordings from 1971, Nixon and

Chief of Staff Bob Haldeman discuss a tax investigation of Schorr in the Oval Office. “You take a fellow like this Dan Schorr, he’s — I notice — he is always creating something, isn’t he?” Nixon said. “Oh ... He incidentally is on — you don’t, shouldn’t get involved in this, but he’s on our tax list, too,” Haldeman said. “Good.” Nixon replied. “They’re going after a couple of media people,” Haldeman said. “They’re going after Dan Schorr and Mary McGrory.” “Good,” Nixon said again. The recording was made available by the University of Virginia, which is transcribing and annotating the secret Nixon tapes. Schorr said he figured he became such a thorn in Nixon’s side because his newspaper background gave him a bluntness rare on television. Later in life, Schorr cherished his Nixon coverage, his son said. “He had nothing more than the truth to go up against the president of the United States,” the younger Schorr said. Still, he and Nixon were “extremely cordial” by the end of Nixon’s life, Jonathan Schorr said, “and my dad loved that.”

Publicist says Zsa Zsa Gabor in critical condition

Singer Al Jarreau hospitalized in France

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Zsa Zsa Gabor was hospitalized in critical condition Friday and might have suffered a stroke while undergoing hip replacement surgery after a fall at her Bel-Air home, her publicist said. John Blanchette said he spoke to Gabor’s husband on Thursday Gabor and was told the 93-year-old actress “was bleeding excessively” and was not responding to surgery. “She hasn’t talked. She wasn’t speaking. They were worried about that. They took her off morphine to see if that might be the cause,” Blanchette said. “She’s vacant.” Gabor’s husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, “told me that she was bleeding excessively ... and that the doctors told her that she may have suffered a stroke during the operation,” Blanchette said. Blanchette said he was not able to speak directly to Gabor’s doctors and could not confirm her condition Friday. “We’re all still hopeful,” he added. Gabor, a Hungarian-born sexpot of the 1950s and 1960s, was watching her favorite television game show in bed last Saturday when she tumbled out of bed while trying to answer the telephone.

PARIS (AP) — Grammyaward winning singer Al Jarreau was in intensive care in a French hospital Friday after suffering breathing problems in the Alps, forcing him to cancel four concerts. Jarreau’s manager, Joe Gordon, said the 70-yearold singer “is awake Jarreau and he’s concerned” about missing concerts. When he said he wanted to eat, the doctors did a little dance, Gordon said. “He’s only canceled one concert (due) to his health in his entire career,” Gordon, who was at Jarreau’s side, told The Associated Press in New York. But he also said, “It was life threatening” and “he’s doing well, considering.” Gordon said the Thursday concert at a jazz festival in the French mountain town of Barcelonnette, in the southern Alps was canceled in the middle of his warmup routine. “We canceled the concert as a precaution because he wasn’t feeling good,” the manager said. The director of the jazz festival, Xavier Fribourg, told The AP that Jarreau was evacuated by helicopter just before the start of the concert.

Study: MTV leads in showing gay characters on TV NEW YORK (AP) — MTV held a solid lead among 15 networks for its representation of gay characters last season, according to a report released Friday. In its fourth annual Network Responsibility Index, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation found that of MTV’s 207.5 hours of original prime-time programming, 42 percent included content reflecting the lives of gay, bisexual and transgender people. This earned MTV the firstever “Excellent” rating from GLAAD. “MTV programs like ’The Real World’ and ’America’s Best Dance Crew’ have offered richly diverse portrayals of gay and transgender people that help Americans better understand and accept our community,” said GLAAD president Jarrett Barrios. Among broadcast networks, the CW was on top with 35 percent, while Fox ranked a close second with 30 percent. ABC, with 26 percent, got a “Good” rating, while NBC was “Adequate” with 13 percent.

The U.N. Command, however, blames North Korea and considers the sinking a violation of the cease-fire, a command official said Friday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the results of the commandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own investigation have not been released. At the Association of Southeast Asian Nations meeting in Hanoi, North Korean spokesman Ri Tong Il repeated Pyongyangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s denial of responsibility for the sinking. He said the upcoming military drills â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to be conducted in the Sea of Japan off Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s east coast and in the Yellow Sea closer to Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shores â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were a violation of its sovereignty that harkened back to the

North Korea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be physical response against the threat imposed by the United States militarily,â&#x20AC;? Ri told reporters. Clinton responded by saying the U.S. is willing to meet and negotiate with the North, but that this type of threat only heightens tensions. She added that progress in the short term seems unlikely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is distressing when North Korea continues its threats and causes so much anxiety among its neighbors and the larger region,â&#x20AC;? she told reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we will demonstrate once again with our military exercises ... that the United States stands in firm support of the defense of South Korea and we will continue to do so.â&#x20AC;? Shortly before Ri spoke, Clinton had lashed out against belligerent acts by the North, warning Pyongyang must reverse a â&#x20AC;&#x153;campaign of provocative, dangerous behaviorâ&#x20AC;? if it wants improved relations with its neighbors and the United States. She said stability in the

region, particularly on the Korean peninsula, depends in large part on persuading an â&#x20AC;&#x153;isolated and belligerentâ&#x20AC;? North Korea to alter course and return to nuclear disarmament talks which it pulled out of last year. Members of the U.S. and North Korean delegations did not meet at the annual ASEAN Regional Forum, which has in the past been a venue for talks between the two sides. The 27-member bloc â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 10 members of ASEAN and countries with major interests in the area like the U.S., China, Japan, North and South Korea and Russia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; expressed â&#x20AC;&#x153;deep concernâ&#x20AC;? over the Cheonanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sinking in a joint statement, a weakened version of an earlier ASEAN statement. On Wednesday, Clinton announced in the South Korean capital that the U.S. would slap new sanctions on the North to stifle its nuclear ambitions and punish it for the sinking of the South Korean ship. The penalties will target the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite by taking aim at illicit activities, such as counterfeiting cigarettes and cash and money laundering.

N. Korea threatens â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;physical responseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Korea inflamed tensions over the deadly sinking of a South Korean warship by threatening the United States and South Korea on Friday with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;physical responseâ&#x20AC;? if they carry out naval maneuvers this weekend. The U.S. refused to back down. The latest threat came four months after the sinking of a South Korean warship that killed 46 sailors. The North has been blamed, but vehemently denies any involvement. In Vietnam for a Southeast Asian regional security forum, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and a North Korean official traded barbs over the sinking, the four-day military drills beginning Sunday and the imposition of new U.S. sanctions against the North. Also Friday, the U.S.-led military command monitoring the cease-fire on the Korean peninsula confronted the North about the March 26 sinking of the Cheonan, calling it a violation of the armistice that ended the 1950-53 Korean war. Colonels from the U.N. Command, who met at the border with counterparts from the Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s army, reminded them of the U.N. Security Council order to honor the truce. Officers also proposed a joint task force to discuss armistice violations, the military commission said in a statement. A team of international investigators concluded in May that a North Korean submarine fired the torpedo that sank the Cheonan. The U.N. Security Council approved a presidential

White House predicts record $1.47 trillion deficit WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New estimates from the White House on Friday predict the budget deficit will reach a record $1.47 trillion this year. The government is borrowing 41 cents of every dollar it spends. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually a little better than the administration predicted in February. The new estimates paint a grim unemployment picture as the economy experiences a relatively jobless recovery. The unemployment rate, presently averaging 9.5 percent, would average 9 percent next year under the new estimates. The Office of Management and Budget report has ominous news for President Barack Obama should he seek re-election in 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a still-high unemployment rate of 8.1 percent. That would be well above normal, which is closer to a rate of 5.5 percent to 6 percent. Private economists donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the unemployment rate will drop to those levels until well into this decade. The gaping deficits are of increasing concern to voters. But Obama and Democrats controlling Congress are mostly taking a pass on deficit reduction this year as they await possible recommendations from Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deficit commission. The current record holder is the $1.41 trillion deficit for 2009.

Pay czar will not fight banks on $1.6B in exec pay WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; For all his tough talk about excessive pay for bankers, the Obama administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pay czar let the executives go without a fight. Kenneth Feinberg announced Friday that he would not try to recoup $1.6 billion in compensation given to top executives at bailed-out banks because he thought sham-

ing them was punishment enough. His decision to go easy on 17 banks that made â&#x20AC;&#x153;ill-advisedâ&#x20AC;? payments to their executives is likely to fuel concerns about how he will oversee the $20 billion oil spill compensation fund created by BP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not suggesting we should blink or turn the other cheek,â&#x20AC;? Feinberg said later in an interview with The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These 17 companies were singled out for obviously bad behavior. The question is: At what point are you piling on and going beyond what is warranted?â&#x20AC;? He could not force the banks to repay the money, but the law instructed him to negotiate with banks to return money if he determined that the pay packages were â&#x20AC;&#x153;contrary to the public interestâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; language that he opted not to use.

Ford reaping solid profits after turnaround DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Four years ago, Ford mortgaged everything down to the blue oval logo to save itself. Now, even as Americans remain skittish about the economy, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaping big rewards and stealing business from stumbling rivals. Ford said Friday that it made $2.6 billion from April through June, its fifth straight quarterly profit. The company, which reported record losses in 2008, now predicts it will end 2011 with more cash than debt. With its two longtime Detroit rivals still finding their way after spending time in bankruptcy last year, Ford, which never took government bailout money, extended its success story. President and CEO Alan Mulally said the company is ahead of where he thought it would be in its turnaround. It now sells the most popular pickup truck in the U.S., the F-Series, and the most popular crossover SUV, the Escape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our performance this year gives us great confidence going forward,â&#x20AC;? he said.

CONTADOR NEARS TITLE, CAVENDISH WINS STAGE

BORDEAUX, France (AP) — Alberto Contador kept the yellow jersey Friday and closed in on another Tour de France title while Mark Cavendish of Britain again showed he’s one of cycling’s best sprinters. Cavendish captured the 18th stage in a final dash, his fourth stage victory in this race and the 14th of his career. The 123-mile ride from Salies-deBearn to Bordeaux favored sprinters, and Cavendish made it look easy. Contador, the defending champion, held his eight-second lead over Andy Schleck of Luxembourg. That gap is expected to widen in Saturday’s crucial 32-mile time trial from Bordeaux to Pauillac.

SANFORD — With all of his awards and accomplishments, Grant Rosser is becoming a shooting star. From winining the Ripon Cup at the 11th annual Southern Side By Side Spring Classic held recently at Deep River Sporting Clays to also winning the Connecticut Shotgun American Classic Event, Rosser has brought home a number of trophies this year. The one he wants the most, however, is one that he’s come close to winning in each of the last two years. Rosser will compete in the upcoming North Carolina State Sporting Clays Championships on July 30 at Hunters’ Pointe Sporting Clays in Greenville where he will look to win his first state championship of his eight year shoot-

ing career. “I want it bad,” said Rosser. “I’ve come so close the last two years. I’ve shot well in it, but now I’m just waiting to win it. I really want it.” In the last two years, Rosser won the junior event of the state championships but hasn’t ever won the entire event. He is looking to change that this year. “I’ve been shooting in it since 2006 and I’m looking to do well,” said Rosser. “I’ve been doing it for a while, so I’m not too nervous about it. I just have to do my best.” Rosser became interested in shooting back in 2002 when he was a member of a hunter safety team at the Lee County Wildlife Club. That experience made him interested in shotguns and

Former NC STATE STAR Dennis Byrd dies

RALEIGH (AP) — Dennis Byrd, a former defensive tackle at North Carolina State who was to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in December, has died. He was 63. N.C. State spokeswoman Annabelle Myers said Byrd died Friday in Charlotte. Myers said the family told the school that Byrd suffered a heart attack on July 15 while undergoing back surgery and never regained consciousness. In May, Byrd was among 14 former players and coaches elected to the hall. Byrd was a three-time firstteam All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection, and helped N.C. State win a share of the 1965 ACC championship. He was a consensus All-America in 1966 and 1967. He was drafted by the Boston Patriots in 1968 and played two seasons in the old American Football League.

golf PAVIN, LANGER SHARE LEAD AT SENIOR OPEN

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP) — American Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin shot a second straight 2-under 69 Friday to share the second-round lead with Bernhard Langer of Germany at the Senior British Open. Pavin and Langer (71) have 4-under totals of 138 and are one shot ahead of a quartet that includes Ian Woosnam (67) and Jay Haas (69). Pavin was among the early starters and looked set to take a commanding lead before finishing with a double bogey 6 at the 18th after hitting his second shot out of bounds. Langer had to deal with a biting cold wind later in the day but also got to 6 under before bogeys on two of the par-3 holes. At the short 13th, his tee shot landed in a deep pot bunker, and he then missed the green at the 16th with a 5-iron and was unable to get up and down.

Brad Keselowski drives his way to a third place finish at the recent Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250 Nationwide NASCAR race at Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Ill.

Keselowski doesn’t mind penalty for Edwards flap By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski are content with the hand-slapping they received from NASCAR this week for their latest on-track altercation. That’s about the only thing the feuding drivers agreed upon Friday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Keselowski insisted he did not intentionally hit Edwards’ car — it was a mistake, he said — as he moved the leader out of his way on the final lap of last weekend’s Nationwide Series in St. Louis. Edwards wasn’t buying it, though. “I believe that he did not make a mistake,” Edwards countered. “I’m telling you that as a race car driver, and any other race car driver will tell you, that that wasn’t a slip-up, and if it was a slip-up, which, hey, he might convince

himself that it’s a slip-up, you have a little bit of insurance that you leave yourself when you go down in the corner like that. “I believe he’s not being completely honest that that was a mistake. He’s too good of a race car driver, and I know that.” And so it went in the latest round between a pair of drivers who have tangled on the track dating to last season. Although most of their incidents went largely unnoticed in the second-tier Nationwide Series, it’s escalated of late into a several spectacular crashes. Keselowski sent Edwards’ car flying into the Talladega catchfence in a Sprint Cup Series race last year, and Edwards’ intentional wrecking of Keselowski at Atlanta this spring sent Keselowski’s car airborne. Then came Saturday night at Gateway, when Edwards refused

DURHAM — At SEC media days earlier this week Alabama coach Nick Saban compared agents to pimps while Florida coach Urban Meyer called them predators. North Carolina coach Butch Davis and Duke coach David Cutcliffe might not have used such strong words, but both Davis agreed at the Eighth Bill Dooley Triangle/ East Pigskin Preview on ThursCutcliffe day that unscrupulous agents are a growing problem in college football. With the NCAA reportedly looking into numerous schools — including North Carolina, Alabama and Florida — for potentially improper contact between agents and players, the spotlight has turned to agents and what they are doing to entice players to sign with them. “I do think that agents play a certain role in the career of athletes — there is certainly a time and place for that,” Davis said. “The difficult part of it is the people that deal unethically, the people that want to try to jump the gun, the people that are trying to get a competitive edge ... there’s no place for that in collegiate athletics.” Davis, who spent time in the NFL as an assistant and head coach, admitted there are good agents out there, but things are not as black and white as 15 years ago when agents couldn’t contact players until their eligibility was up. Now agents may contact players 18 months before their eligibility is over and sometimes use financial planners or runners to skirt rules to help funnel illegal benefits to players.

rules to help funnel illegal benefits to players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the NCAA changed the rules to allow agents to be able to visit with players 18 months before the end of their eligibility or before their graduation I believe its made everybody in Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job significantly tougher,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. Cutcliffe said he advises his players not to have any contact with agents until their eligibility is over, but he allows the seniors to vote every year if they want to get in touch with agents.

He said they typically decide to wait.. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common sense,â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is the guy going to do for you? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to get you drafted. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a coach. I know who I listen to about peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abilities. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not listening to some guy in a really good looking suit and expensive shoes whether a guy can play football or not.â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe said all schools, not just Duke, do a good job of educating players about agents and the players know they are wrong if they accept gifts. But Cutcliffe said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more worried about family members who may live

200 miles away and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the rules and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be monitored. Its part of the reason Cutcliffe would like to see the federal government get involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to talk about steroid use in congress we better start talking about agents and their practices in dealing with minors and illegally enticing people,â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe said. Cutcliffe said he would like to see some agents lose their licenses and maybe spend time behind bars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;See those people hanging around outside the gate after a game?â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After doing it for 30 years you start figuring

out who they are so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see authorities, legal authorities, help us with. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bigger than the NCAA can manage.â&#x20AC;? But ultimately, according to Cutcliffe, the best way to combat shady agents is by developing strong relationships with players. He said he tries to teach his players that comprising your integrity is a dangerous step to take in life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to explain to them thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing healthy about even talking to them,â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a young man and his family are really smart about this, what you do is on your terms you finish your play and then you interview four or five agents and see who you want to hire. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get coached or enticed with gifts into a business relationship.â&#x20AC;?

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tennis team will hold tryouts in a couple of weeks.

Wells pitches Cubs past Cardinals CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alfonso Soriano hit a tworun homer and Randy Wells pitched seven shutout innings to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 5-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. Tyler Colvin and Geovany Soto added solo shots for the Cubs, who trail first-place St. Louis by 10 games in the NL Central. The Cardinals failed to get a run for the second straight day after outscoring opponents 46-17 during an eight-game winning streak. Albert Pujols was hitless in eight at-bats in the two losses, both coming in uncomfortably hot, humid conditions. Wells (5-7) allowed five hits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one single in each of the second through sixth innings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and struck out seven. It was the polar opposite of his performance against the Cardinals on May 28, when he gave up hits to the first six batters and left trailing 5-0. Wells, who has a 1.30 ERA in his past five starts after compiling a 5.21 mark in his first 15 outings, has allowed no runs in his past two games. The biggest threat came in the sixth, when Jon Jay singled, went to second on Pujolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grounder and advanced on Wellsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; errant pickoff attempt. Wells then struck out Matt Holliday and got Colby Rasmus to pop out. Sean Marshall wrapped up Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first shutout since June 13 with two hitless innings. Jeff Suppan (0-6) allowed five runs and 10 hits in six innings. He fell to 0-4 since rejoining the Cardinals last month after Milwaukee released him. St. Louis is 39-22 in games started by Adam Wainwright, Chris Carpenter and Jaime Garcia but 15-21 otherwise. Not only did Suppanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammates fail to score, they also made defensive mistakes leading to three Chicago runs. The Cubs already led 2-0 in the fifth when St. Louis second baseman Skip Schumaker botched a double play relay. Soriano then lined a homer into the left-field bleachers. In the sixth, nobody caught Starlin Castroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infield pop, which fell for an RBI single. Colvin opened the game with his first career leadoff homer. He is the first left-handed-hitting Cubs rookie with 14 home runs since Rafael Palmeiro in 1987.

SPORTS BRIEFS Lakers sign free-agent forward Matt Barnes

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matt Barnes is going back to Los Angeles, this time to join the two-time defending NBA champion Lakers. The Lakers announced Thursday they had signed the free-agent forward. Terms were not disclosed. Barnes, a UCLA product who started 58 games last season for Orlando, said earlier this week on his Twitter page that he was headed to Toronto. But the deal fell through, and the Lakers moved in to grab the seven-year veteran. The well-traveled swingman will be joining his eighth NBA team. He has averaged 7.3 points, with a career high of 10.2 for Phoenix during the 2008-09 season.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre, right, talks with head coach Brad Childress last season during NFL football training camp, in Eden Prairie, Minn.

Childress says he knows Favre better now EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brad Childress sat forward in his chair and, in his scratchy, out-of-key baritone, started an old Rodgers and Hammerstein show tune. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting to know you. Getting to know all about you,â&#x20AC;? Childress sang, the melody barely detectable. This was the Vikings coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique explanation of his first season with Brett Favre, the behind-the-scenes back-and-forth that helped frame the man behind the helmet and all those NFL records. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t profess to be a Favre-istorian or anything like that,â&#x20AC;? Childress said. The education hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stopped for Childress, whose recently returned from his second visit this year to Favreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in Mississippi. Childress didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return to Minnesota with a better idea about his starting quarterback for the season, he said, but he did bring back an even stronger understanding of Favreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of life and his way of thinking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The deep south is different, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be the first to tell you that,â&#x20AC;? Childress said on Friday afternoon in an interview with The Associated Press at team headquarters. The coach recalled his drive to Hattiesburg from New Orleans, bewildered by all the bugs hitting his windshield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like it was raining,â&#x20AC;? Childress said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He goes, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the deep

south, Brad.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Recovering from left ankle surgery and working out with the local high schoolers, Favre has yet to declare his intention for 2010. Childress said the situation was â&#x20AC;&#x153;all quiet,â&#x20AC;? a week before training camp starts. Continuing to speak in uncertainties about Favreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return, seen around the football world as a foregone conclusion, Childress said the time spent with Favre has given him more clarity about the 40-year-oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thought process related to continuing his career. He also said those conversations and observations will help grow their relationship should Favre decide to play a 20th season. Childress downplayed the sideline clash over Favreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety they had during a December game at Carolina while the Vikingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense was struggling. He said the time it took to learn each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idiosyncrasies was natural. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, we banged heads. Like once,â&#x20AC;? Childress said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could say I knew him from the outside and I knew

his body of work, but I probably didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the wiring that was involved with that. Safe to say he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how I was wired.â&#x20AC;? The Vikings have a lot of other good players and a lot of other intriguing story lines, but none of them captivate quite such as Favre, love or loathe. Though the coach was relaxed as can be at the office, wearing sandals, shorts and a purple polo on the verge of his last quiet summer weekend, Favre is clearly on his mind. Twice, Childress was asked about his own lingering feelings from the NFC championship game loss to the Saints, and in both answers he found a way to work in a couple of comments about Favre.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The NBA has fined Minnesota Timberwolves president David Kahn $50,000 for his comments about forward Michael Beasleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marijuana use. The league also fined the Timberwolves organization $50,000 Friday for what it called inappropriate comments. In an interview with a local ESPN Radio affiliate, Kahn called the recently acquired Beasley â&#x20AC;&#x153;a very young and immature kid who smoked too much marijuanaâ&#x20AC;? while he was playing in Miami.

AP Source: Thomas agrees to deal with Bulls

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A person familiar with the negotiations says veteran forward Kurt Thomas has agreed to a oneyear contract with the Chicago Bulls. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal has not been finalized. Several outlets reported late Thursday that Thomas was headed to Chicago. The 37-year-old Thomas gives the Bulls a strong defender and rebounder in the frontcourt to go with Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer. Thomas has averaged 8.8 points and 7.0 rebounds for seven teams in his 15-year ca-

PITTSBURGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed coach Mike Tomlin to a two-year contract extension through the 2012 season, with an option year in 2013. The extension was expected because the Steelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; policy has been to sign a coach before he begins the final season of a contract. Tomlin is only the Steelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; third coach since 1969, following Chuck Noll (1969-91) and Bill Cowher (1992-2006). Tomlin is 31-17 in three seasons. During the 2008 season, he became the youngest coach â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he was 36 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to win the Super Bowl when the Steelers beat Arizona 27-23. The Steelers were 9-7 and missed the playoffs last season. They open training camp July 30 at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa.

MILWAUKEE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bob Uecker is back in the booth with a fixed-up ticker. His sense of humor never changed. A fit and trim looking Uecker held a 30-minute press conference Friday to discuss the return to the job he loves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to rock and roll,â&#x20AC;? he said. The 75-year-old broadcaster underwent surgery April 30 to replace his aortic valve, aortic root and part of his ascending aorta, and had a coronary bypass, too. He said that he felt great, he admitted that his two doctors, Alfred Nicolosi and Jim Kleczka, might not agree. He joked that they let him return because he promised they could throw out a ceremonial first pitch as the Brewers play the Washington Nationals on Friday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope they do better than they did on my incision,â&#x20AC;? he said.

ence made him interested in shotguns and he got started in sporting clays from there. The 19-year-old student at Central Carolina Community College admits that shooting was a little difficult at first but is pleased with how far he’s come. “It was hard at first because it was my first time shooting a rifle,” said Rosser. “I’ve definitely improved but there’s always room for improvement. I’m always working to get better.” This year, though, he’s made it look easy.

NASCAR Continued from Page 1B

to allow Keselowski to take the win away from him. He admitted to wrecking Keselowski as payback for moving Edwards moments before and was unapologetic in Victory Lane. But that wreck collected multiple other cars, and after mulling it over for several days, NASCAR decided the antics of Edwards and Keselowski had to be punished because of the other drivers who were caught in the carnage. For that, Edwards, who was docked 60 points and fined $25,000, was apologetic. “There are unintended consequences to that, and the torn-up cars that weren’t mine or Brad’s, that’s a bad result,” Edwards said. “It really struck home for me.”

Earlier this year, Rosser won the Connecticut Shotgun American Classic event in the 12 gauge hammerless event and was second in the 20 gauge event. He also won the Capt. A.H. Bogardus Cup for the highest gun score in the Atkin, Grant and Lang Main Event with a score of 75 out of 80. Finishing with the highest overall score in the Main Event helped Rosser win the coveted Ripon Cup. Last week, Rosser won the “The Heat is On” preliminary event at Backwood Quail Club in South Carolina. Rosser finished with a score of 99 out of 100. All the awards and accolades Rosser has pulled

in has helped prepare him for next weekend’s state tournament. “Winning makes me feel like all the practice has paid off,” said Rosser. “It definitely feel like the hard work has come through. Hopefully, I can keep winning.” Even if he doesn’t win the state championship, Rosser is planning on continuing to participate in the sport. “I’ll be doing this for a long time,” said Rosser. “I enjoy it. It’s exciting. I definitely want to keep shooting.” Next fall, Rosser plans on attending East Carolina University to finish his degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Beyond that, Edwards seemed unrepentant for anything he did at Gateway and held firm in his belief that Keselowski’s history of hard racing against him warranted the payback. “I will not be walked on. I won’t be stepped on,” he said. “It’s not OK to move me out of the way. If somebody else wants to let people move them out of the way for the win, that’s OK with me. I can’t allow myself to be run over like that.” Keselowski, who like Edwards was placed on probation through the end of the year, was somewhat grateful for the NASCAR punishment because it eliminated the speculation that he’ll have to retaliate this weekend. He will race against Edwards twice, first in Saturday night’s Nationwide event at O’Reilly Raceway Park and then in the Sprint Cup Series main event Sunday at the

Brickyard. “What that says is NASCAR doesn’t want me to go out there and intentionally retaliate against Carl, which is great,” Keselowski said. “I don’t want to. I’m glad that they took that away. Now I don’t have to worry about that.” And that raised an entirely different debate, this one over the limits of NASCAR’s loosened “boys, have at it” policy. Denny Hamlin said the whole idea of selfpolicing drivers began as a “gimmick” by NASCAR for restrictor-plate races but has since grown out of control. “I think we took it in our own hands and thought we could just do anything we wanted on the race track,” Hamlin said. “I think the line has definitely been moved. I think what’s accepted out there is different than what it was a few years ago.”

DEAR ABBY: I’m 25 and live in my mother’s basement apartment with my boyfriend. We would like to be married soon, now that we’re out of school and have stable careers. But I insist that we move out of Mom’s house before making any permanent plans. The problem is my mom, who is divorced, is unemployed and a social phobic, with few friends. We provide her with financial support by paying several hundred dollars a month in rent, in addition to other bills. She helps me with a loan when the rare emergency arises. Every time I mention moving out, she becomes angry with me. She cries that she’ll be left alone with no money — and it makes me feel so guilty I relent. I have no idea what to do. My older sister, who is married with two children, might be able to help me out, but we have never been close and I’m reluctant to ask for her advice. Please help, Abby. — MAMA’S GIRL IN ROSWELL, GA. DEAR MAMA’S GIRL: You are not the solution to your mother’s problems. The time has come for you to spread your wings and fly the nest. Before you leave, be sure the apartment is in the freshest condition possible so it can be rented and your mother will have some income. She will probably need professional help to overcome her ingrained social insecurities — so encourage her to get it. (Some licensed psychotherapists specialize in phobic disorders.) It will change her life — and yours

do. — STRESSED IN TEXAS

— for the better. o DEAR ABBY: If a girl ever needed advice, it’s me. My father walked out 20 years ago, leaving four children and a disabled wife. He just vanished. We grew up and I searched for him. Because of the power of the Internet, I was contacted by his family, and Dad was found. He had reunited with his sister, who updated me. Now I’m faced with the dilemma of how to speak to him for the first time since I was in diapers, and I am angry. My aunt advises me not to ask for answers to questions like “why” because I may not get them. Of the things he did say to her, not once did he express remorse. I guess what I’m asking is how to talk to this stranger who altered my life. Most of what I have are questions. How am I not entitled to answers? Abby, this has been a long search and now that I have succeeded, I don’t know what to

DEAR STRESSED: Your anger is justified. Unless he was locked in a mental ward, a man who would leave a disabled wife and four small children and “just vanish” is someone with no concern for anyone other than himself. Approach him with the same caution you would any other stranger, because that’s what he is. Because this is stressful, list your questions in advance so you won’t forget any. But I’m warning you: Do not allow him to make you feel sorry for him. o DEAR ABBY: Last night while walking my dog I noticed the lights in my neighbor’s car had been left on. It was after midnight and his house was dark. I am not particularly close to this neighbor, although we acknowledge each other in passing. I rang his doorbell, but he didn’t answer. The next morning as I left for work I saw the lights in his car were still on. What is appropriate in this situation, Abby? Would people want to be told, or is it better to let them sleep? — CARING NEIGHBOR, BOULDER, COLO. DEAR NEIGHBOR: I can’t speak for everyone, but I know I would much prefer to have someone ring my bell and tell me I forgot to turn off the lights than have to deal with a dead battery in the morning.

ODDS AND ENDS Man decked out in Darth Vader mask robs NY bank SETAUKET, N.Y. (AP) — Times must be tough back at the Empire. A bank robber dressed as “Star Wars” villain Darth Vader made off with an undetermined amount of cash after pointing a handgun at startled tellers inside a Chase bank branch on Long Island. Detectives say the stickup man walked into the bank shortly before noon Thursday wearing a full head mask and a blue cape. The only part of the uniform that was out of place were his camouflage pants. And that handgun — no light saber. Suffolk County police Detective Sgt. William Lamb told reporters at least one customer at the time didn’t think the theft was legit. The customer, whose identity was not released, can be seen cowering on the floor in a surveillance camera photo, moments after the holdup man shoved him away. “The customer thought it might have been a joke and not a serious attempt at a robbery,” Lamb told the Daily News. The only other description of the suspect was his height: between 6 feet and 6-foot-2. He was last seen running across a parking lot. “I thought it was pretty comical, but I guess this guy was pretty serious about needing some money,” Michael Aloisio, who works at a nearby restaurant and saw the bandit run past, told the New York Post. “It was pretty crazy. He had the whole outfit on,” added Louie Lin, who works at a Chinese restaurant in the shopping center where the bank is located and saw the robber.

SUDOKU

MY ANSWER Mike Fusco, a Chase spokesman, declined to comment other than to say bank officials were cooperating with the investigation. The holdup was the 15th in Suffolk County this year; 30 bank heists were reported in 2009. The robbery comes about a week after a so-called bouquet bandit held up a Manhattan bank. Authorities say Edward Pemberton used a flower bouquet to conceal a note demanding cash during a $440 bank heist July 15. They say he used a potted plant as a similar prop in a holdup at another bank earlier this month.

Judge: Ohio man can’t form own Indian reservation LIMA, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man who claimed that his American Indian ancestry makes him exempt from city nuisance laws has been ordered to clean up two homes that have fallen into disrepair. A judge told William Bowersock on Thursday that he has 30 days to take care of the properties in Lima (LY’-muh). The judge rejected Bowersock’s argument that he had seceded from the local government and formed his own Indian reservation, thereby making him exempt from the city’s property code. Bowersock says he thinks the city is singling him out and using selective enforcement of property codes to harass him. Judge Richard Warren said city officials have given Bowersock years to address the nuisance problem and that the rights of the city and Bowersock’s neighbors must be protected. See answer, page 2A

Hell is real, but you don’t want to go there Q: Where did the idea of hell come from? I don’t believe there is such a thing because God is for life and for love, not destruction and hate, like some people seem to think. -- C.F. A: It might surprise you to learn that the person in the Bible who spoke the most about hell’s reality was Jesus. He repeatedly warned us not to take it lightly: “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28). Is hell just an idea someone dreamed up -- or is it real? The Bible’s answer is clear: Hell is real just as real as heaven. You and I will live forever because God gave each of us an eternal soul or spirit. Death isn’t the end; when we die, we will enter eternity either with God in heaven, or separated from Him forever in the place the Bible calls Hell. Yes, you’re right up to a point; God is a God of love. But He is also a God of justice. Do you honestly believe God will overlook the horrors committed by a Hitler or Stalin? Do you honestly believe God will overlook the evils and injustices that ravage our world? The Bible warns, “All will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness” (2 Thessalonians 2:12). These are sobering words. But the Bible tells us something else about hell: You and I don’t need to go there! Jesus Christ came to destroy sin and death and hell and when we put our faith and trust in Him, heaven’s door opens.
