Powell to step down as chairman

Five-year-old flown to Chapel Hill Sunday after rescuers pulled him from water By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — A 5-year-old Sanford boy died Monday nearly 24 hours after being pulled from the water at Caro-

lina Lakes in Harnett County. Elijah Caddick was flown to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill from Central Carolina Hospital in Sanford following the accident, which occurred around 2 p.m. Sunday. The

Harnett County Sheriff’s Office, Benhaven EMS and Spout Springs Fire Department responded after receiving reports of a possible drowning. According to the sheriff’s office, Caddick had been

playing in the water when he disappeared at a birthday party that included children and adults at the lake. He was eventually found unconscious

EVEN THE LOWS ARE HIGH Summer has brought record-breaking temperatures By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — The central North Carolina heat continued to climb to record-breaking temperatures last weekend portions of The Triangle reached 102 degrees Sunday. The area’s previous record high for July 25 was set in 1949 at 98 degrees. Sunday also broke the all-time record for the high-

QUICKREAD

est low temperature at 80 degrees. Meteorologist Darin Figurskey of the National Weather Service Raleigh office said the previous all-time high minimum temperature was 79 degrees, a record that was only set on Saturday. “Based on 66 years of records at RDU, there has never been a low of 80 degrees or warmer until now,” Figurskey said. Sanford faced similar tem-

peratures last weekend, with a scorching high of 100 degrees and a low of 80 degrees on Sunday. Figurskey attributes the heat to an upper level high pressure system that has been anchored over the Southeast throughout the summer. But he said he doesn’t foresee any triple-digit temperatures this week, and by the weekend the heat should cool down to a

SANFORD — Local law enforcement arrested a Sanford man this weekend after they say he kidnapped his girlfriend and held her at gunpoint. Police charged Brandon Gerard Gray, 30, of 547 Forestwood Park Road in Sanford, following reports from Gray’s father Sunday that he was holding his girlfriend at

gunpoint and threatening to kill her. Gray’s father reported the incident at his Forestwood Park Gray residence, but the man and his girlfriend had left before deputies arrived, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office said. Sanford police stopped Gray later Sunday after depu-

ties notified area law enforcement personnel to be on the lookout for Gray’s vehicle. Capt. Jeff Johnson of the Sheriff’s Office said officers found Gray’s girlfriend, 36year-old Nartarsha Alston of Sanford, unharmed in the vehicle. Johnson said officers found Gray’s pistol in the vehicle’s glove compartment. He said some of Alston’s

SANFORD — Bobby Powell will step down from his chairmanship of the Central Carolina Community College Board of Trustees Wednesday after serving the maximum of four one-year terms allowed by the board’s bylaws. Powell has served in that position since July 2006, when the other board members first elected him as the chairman. He said he plans to continue serving as a board member, as he has done Powell for 16 years. “It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as chairman,” Powell said. “It was humbling that the rest of the board members wanted me to serve four terms. I plan to keep serving on the board as long as I know I’m being effective.” All community college

CAPITOL LETTER

Perdue keeps options open for revenues Governor interested in privatizing parts of state’s ABC system By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — A day after Gov. Beverly Perdue signed into law a bill banning video sweepstakes games, she suggested she’d listen to proposals to legalize video poker again in North Carolina. And after Perdue signed a bill designed to reform the state Alcoholic Beverage Control system, she said she still was interested in Perdue privatizing parts of the liquor system, although the idea was panned before this year’s session began. An outside evaluation of the system is moving ahead.

Almanac Today is Tuesday, July 27, the 208th day of 2010. There are 157 days left in the year. This day in history: On July 27, 1960, Vice President Richard M. Nixon was nominated for president on the first ballot at the Republican national convention in Chicago. In 1789, President George Washington signed a measure establishing the Department of Foreign Affairs, forerunner of the Department of State. In 1909, during the first official test of the U.S. Army’s first airplane, Orville Wright flew himself and a passenger, Lt. Frank Lahm, above Fort Myer, Va., for one hour and 12 minutes. In 1919, race-related rioting erupted in Chicago; the violence, which claimed the lives of 23 blacks and 15 whites, lasted until Aug. 3. In 1940, Bugs Bunny made his “official” debut in the Warner Bros. animated cartoon “A Wild Hare.” (There had been previous incarnations of the “wascally wabbit,” but this is considered the first definitive example of his now-familiar persona.) In 1953, the Korean War armistice was signed at Panmunjom, ending three years of fighting. In 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed the Kerner Commission to assess the causes of urban rioting, the same day black militant H. Rap Brown said in Washington that violence was “as American as cherry pie.”

AROUND OUR AREA CHATHAM COUNTY

Tax bills coming in early August PITTSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chatham County residents can expect to receive their 2010 county tax bills in early August, according to Chatham County Tax Administrator Tina Stone. The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current tax rate is 62.19 cents per $100 valuation. Stone said that it is important for taxpayers to carefully review their tax bills after receiving them. If they identify problems, contact the Tax Office as soon as possible by calling 919-542-8250 or 919-542-8260. In some cases, taxpayers will receive one bill covering both real estate property and personal property (such as a boat or mobile home), while some will receive separate bills for different properties. For residents living outside incorporated towns that offer municipal waste collection, the county property tax bill includes the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Solid Waste Fee. The county allows an exemption from the fee when a residence is not habitable or it has been vacant for more than two years. To be eligible for the solid waste fee exemption, taxpayers must file an application with Chatham County Waste Management by January 5, 2011. Waste fees will not be waived if applications are received after this date. An insert in the tax bills explains the services provided for the fee. The deadline to appeal real estate property tax values has already passed, but taxpayers may appeal the value, location or taxability of

personal property within 30 days of the posted date on the tax bill. Personal property includes mobile homes, boats and motors, airplanes, unlicensed vehicles, or business personal property. Taxpayers are billed for any personal property they owned as of January 1, 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you owned a boat on January 1 of this year and sold it the next month, you still owe the full year of personal property taxes for that boat,â&#x20AC;? Stone said. Real estate property taxes also are billed based on January 1, 2010 ownership, but if the property is sold a few months later, the attorney handling the closing usually requires the seller to pay a prorated share of taxes, with the buyer paying the remaining balance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We strongly encourage the seller to send the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 tax bill to the new owners immediately to avoid problems with delinquent taxes,â&#x20AC;? Stone said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; From staff reports

CHATHAM COUNTY

Applicants sought for board vacancies PITTSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Chatham County Board of Commissioners seeks residents to fill three at-large vacancies on its Affordable Housing Advisory Board. The boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to investigate, analyze, and prioritize housing needs in Chatham County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also is the official advisor to the Board of Commissioners on housing policies and programs,â&#x20AC;? said Commissioner Tom Vanderbeck, liaison to the board. The advisory board is charged with to increasing

public awareness of and support for programs and policies that address our housing diversity and affordability needs; exploring and implementing strategies and initiatives; monitoring progress of existing housing programs; exploring funding opportunities; and investigating residential segregation patterns. All advisory board members will receive an orientation, attend monthly board meetings, and serve on at least one committee or working group of the advisory board. They also must comply with a Conflict of Interest Policy and follow the general operating principles of the advisory board. Applicants must be residents of Chatham County, except for non-residents working in Chatham County in housing related enterprises. In filling the vacancies, the commissioners will consider diversity of backgrounds and housingrelated knowledge or experience, including consumers (household residents), housing advocates, housing sellers and buyers, builders and developers, non-profits serving Chatham residents, and especially representatives from banking or mortgage lenders. Those interesting in filling one of the three vacancies should submit an application by August 23, 2010. To obtain a Housing Advisory Board application package, including an application form, contact Elizabeth Plata in the County Managerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office at (919) 542-8200 or email: elizabeth.plata@chathamnc. org.

balmy 90 degrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly going to be muggy through midweek, but not as warm in terms of temperature,â&#x20AC;? Figurskey said. The oven-like temperatures could also be felt at Lillingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Raven Rock Park, which hosted a few outdoor programs throughout the weekend. Park ranger David Brown said when the temperatures are as stifling as they have been recently, the park schedules most of its programs indoors, in the early morning or the late evening. Brown led a 2.2-mile hike to Raven Rock at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, and the park featured a night life program at 8 p.m. Friday. On Sunday, the park had an indoor program about â&#x20AC;&#x153;predators of the parkâ&#x20AC;? with the option of a short hike at 1 p.m., but Brown said only a couple of people chose to participate in the hike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we would have expected more numbers if it hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been for the heat,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We only had a few show up for the Sunday afternoon program.â&#x20AC;? Whenever the park rangers lead hikes during the summer, Brown said they always focus on keeping the participants healthy by reminding them to pace themselves, stay hydrated and listen to what their bodies are telling them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We only go as fast as the slowest person on the hike,â&#x20AC;? Brown said.

But despite the precautions, Brown said the park rangers have responded to a few visitors suffering from heat exhaustion in the past month, and he recommends that park visitors pay close attention to the heat advisories. Despite the recordbreaking temperatures, Dean Flynn, nursing director of the Central Carolina Hospital emergency department, said CCH has actually seen fewer cases this year

Though the department tends to see an increase during the summer, he has only seen two patients with a primary diagnosis of heat in July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The heat has been so extreme that perhaps people are being more careful under these circumstances,â&#x20AC;?

4A / Tuesday, July 27, 2010 / The Sanford Herald

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

It’s hot, but we’re not complaining Our View Issue: The recent July heat wave that has brought North Carolina to its knees

Our stance: It’s futile to complain about the weather, especially when we will miss the heat soon enough

To say that it has been hot in recent days is an understatement of the first degree. Make that the first degrees. The state’s two largest cities reported highs in the hundreds on Sunday. Raleigh came in at 102 degrees, Charlotte at 101. The heat index was even worse in both places. Some are claiming this to be the hottest summer on record for the Triangle. And even thought today’s high is expected to be a “frigid”

89 degrees, we aren’t going to be the ones who contest it. Simply put, it’s been hot. Too hot to play outdoors. Too hot to sit in the shade. Too hot to the mow the yard. Too hot to complain about the heat. To know that we haven’t even entered August yet doesn’t make us feel any better. To the men and women who’ve had to work outdoors over the past month, we salute you. And we don’t envy you.

But we’re not here to complain. If you’ll recall, we just witnessed one of the coldest winters in recent years. Three recordable snow falls in Sanford and several days where the highs barely hovered above 32 degrees — admit it, you were longing for sweltering heat at that time. Consider this Mother Nature’s answer to your winter prayers. We suggest you whip up your favorite cool beverage — whether it’s iced tea or lemonade

— and accept the heat and appreciate the fact that North Carolinians still have it made when it comes to weather. Our heat spells are nothing compared to the everyday summer climate in Arizona. It’s nothing compared to the heat our men and women overseas have endured in the Middle East. And come February of 2011, you’ll be longing for the heat again. We’re never truly happy with the weather, are we?

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

Shorting the Democrats

ne of the more intriguing aspects of modern-day political campaigning is how a candidate will occasionally stick out the chest and trumpet how much more moolah he or she has raised than an opponent. News releases go out telling all who will listen about the fund-raising prowess of the candidate. The idea apparently is to demonstrate a candidate’s viability and level of support. Candidates and their backroom consultants may also be hoping for some kind of a bandwagon effect. When the news media dutifully produces stories on the fund-raising totals, the candidates winning the money chase may hope that some sliver of voters will decide that the outcome is all but decided. Or, maybe they believe that some part of the electorate will see fund-raising aptitude as a desirable job skill for the elected office that the candidate seeks. The news releases and accompanying media coverage of head-to-head fund-raising pretty much ignore the donor side of the equation. ... Most of the political action committees and longtime campaign donors with specific public policy interests before Congress and state legislatures carefully weigh where they put their money. Despite being a competitive, two-party state, Democrats in North Carolina have dominated the fund-raising race. Or, at least they had until this year. In this current election cycle, the state Republican Party has raised $400,000 more than the state Democratic Party. The state GOP also had more cash in its campaign kitty at the end of June. Those figures don’t tell the whole story because legislative leaders, with their ability to move money through party accounts and into legislative swing districts, are the big dogs of the fund-raising wars in North Carolina. The state Senate’s longtime leader, Democrat Marc Basnight, had $717,000 in his campaign account as of the end of June; Democratic House Speaker Joe Hackney had $598,000; Senate Republican leader Phil Berger had $216,000; a handful of other Republican senators also had six-figure accounts likely to be spread around in races other than their own. To put the figures in perspective, Basnight’s numbers are down compared to two years ago; Berger’s are up; Hackney’s are about the same. House Republicans, meanwhile, seem to be having less money-raising success than their Senate counterparts. ... But there’s another way to look at the figures: The money — business interests and trade associations that seek influence at the legislature — is hedging its bets when it comes to the state Senate. They know that the Republicans have a shot at winning a majority in the chamber. They don’t want to be on the wrong side. So, like a hedge fund manager in an uncertain market, they’re both long and short on the Democrats.

Thoughts that count T he current Journolist controversy that has the blogosphere heaving sparks, and Washington even more self-absorbed than usual, is weak tea — a tempest in Barbie’s teacup. At least as concerns the so-called conspiracy itself. As a larger lesson about the way we search and destroy each other in the political/media world, there may be something darker brewing. For the millions who have no idea what I’m talking about, a brief history: Journolist was a listserv (Internetspeak for watering hole) where liberal-leaning journalists gathered to kvetch. Started by prodigal blogger Ezra Klein for a few friends, it grew in numbers and popularity, attracting a few mainstream luminaries (Joe Klein of Time magazine) along the way. But mostly it was a consortium of far lesserknown folks (academics, mid- to low-level producers, etc.) who enjoyed the camaraderie of the like-minded. In the conservative world, we call such people Fox News. (Just kidding, guys, but really.) Today, Ezra Klein is a ripened 26-year-old Washington Post blogger — hired as a known liberal — who makes trenchant observations about health care and other complicated policy issues. Klein is young, in other words, and could be seen as relatively inexperienced in the world of which he has precipitously become a pretty high-level moving part. Today he is best known — in certain quarters — for his role in creating the listserv, which is being characterized as the locus of left-wing conspiracy. The story, such as it is, was broken by conservative Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller, a newish website where a number of my friends happen to write. And a former reporter was on the benighted Journolist. It is no fun writing about friends and colleagues, but I think perspective is needed here. Carlson has been making the news rounds with his traffic-driving story, appearing on Fox News, where he is a contributor, and criticizing journalists who posted comments suggesting that they were teaming up to advance a policy agenda and, more specifically, to get Barack Obama elected president. It should come as no surprise that selfidentifying liberals have liberal thoughts and friends, so no foul there, as Carlson has said. And, indeed, some of the comments are, on their face, condemnable, not to mention banal. But some also have been presented out of context and, besides, were offered as part of an ongoing argument among colleagues who believed they were acting in good faith that theirs was a private conversation. Were they naive to think so? In this world, yes. Was Carlson right to “out” the private comments of people, who, for the most part have no significant power? That, to me, is the more compelling issue.

Kathleen Parker Columnist Kathleen Parker is a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group

On the question of context, I have room only for one example, but more can be found on Klein’s Washington Post blog (http://bit. ly/at3U06). One of the most widely circulated is that these lefties were conspiring to get the government to shut down Fox News. Well, one member — a UCLA law professor no one ever heard of (Jonathan Zasloff, sorry) — did write something to that effect. But it was a query about whether the FCC could pull the network’s broadcasting permit once it expires for, in liberals’ view, espousing a political agenda. Whereupon, Michael Scherer of Time responded: “You really want political parties/white houses picking and choosing which news organizations to favor?” Even so, the headline was that liberals want to shut down Fox News, which is not precisely an accurate rendering of a non-conversation. There was no further discussion on the subject at Journolist. Scandalous? Sure, if you want it to be. If you pull a few remarks from tens of thousands posted by 400 people over a few years, you can frame a debate any way you wish. If you pull a mean quote about Rush Limbaugh, you’ve got Limbaugh time. Throw in Karl Rove, Fox News and Sarah Palin, and you’re golden — for a little while. But then the news cycle moves on, and maybe next week you’ll be the one being hunted. In the meantime, we have to ask ourselves: Are we better off never having the ability to speak off-handedly among friends, to say in private what we could never say in public, to think aloud and uncensored? Or do we resign ourselves to the new reality — that no one is ever to be trusted — and keep our thoughts to ourselves? The answer implied by the events here described suggests a country in which few of us would want to live.

Today’s Prayer Jesus said, “Come after me and I will make you fishers of people.” (Matthew 4:19 NJB) PRAYER: God, our deliverer, grant us courage to follow Christ, the great fisher of us all. With Him we want to bring about a new humanity fit for Your kingdom. Amen.

Letters to the Editor Honesty and integrity prevail in Sanford To the Editor: We live in a time we seem to only hear bad news on TV, radio and newspapers, but I think we need to be aware of good things that happen in our community. Two such events happened last Monday involving me. First, in my position at First Baptist Church of Sanford, I have responsibility for payroll as well as other financial affairs of the Church. One of our employees called to inform me they had lost their paycheck which they had already endorsed while on their way to the bank to deposit it at lunch that day. I was in the process of talking to the bank to stop payment on the check when a young man, his wife and small child came into the church office looking for the employee. He shared that he found a check along the road while on their way to Walmart. He wanted to return it to its rightful owner. I commended him for his honesty and thanked him for going out of his way to return the endorsed check so we could notify the employee that it had been found. Second, the same day I placed a to-go order from Elizabeth’s Pizza for my husband’s and my dinner. I took my wallet inside to pay but left my purse in the car. When I returned to my car with my food, I placed my wallet on top of my car to place the food inside. Without thinking, I drove off with my wallet on the roof. About an hour later, I received a call at home from Highway Patrol Officer Shawn Riley who said he had my wallet which contained cash and other important papers. He found it on the ramp leading to U.S. 1 and stopped to pick it up on the roadway. I would not have missed it until I needed money later. Officer Riley said he would be glad to return my wallet to my home and I did not need to pick it up from him. He could not have been more professional, polite, friendly and courteous. We thanked him for going the extra mile, literally and being so observant while on duty. Our Highway Patrol has been in the spotlight recently with negative news and events. We all need to remember that the overwhelming majority of these men and women are good, positive, honest, hard working citizens of our community and state. I urge each person who comes in contact with any of these officers to thank them for the work they do. They have suffered because of the tarnished image of a few but we need to remember all who wear the Highway Patrol uniform are not guilty of misconduct but try to do their job to serve the people of NC to the best of their professional ability. Honesty and integrity does prevail in our community and we should be grateful to those who continue to do what is right. Lee County is a wonderful place to live and we as a community are truly blessed by many individuals. JOAN A. WOMBLE Sanford

Letter writer’s defense of commissioner doesn’t consider N.C. bylaws To the Editor: This letter is in regard to the delightful Sheila Barber and her letter concerning the treatment of Commissioner Linda Shook. I suggest that Mrs. Barber take the time out of her day to read the North Carolina Constitution. Article Six, Section Nine states: “It is salutary that the responsibilities of self-government be widely shared among the citizens of the State and that the potential abuse of authority inherent in the holding of multiple offices by an individual be avoided.” Now, Mrs. Shook is doing nothing legally wrong, but surely she is violating the spirit of the constitution. After all, no one wants the return of political bosses and monolithic party machines. Unless that is what being a “real” conservative is all about? RANDALL LEE YOW Sanford

trustees are appointees. The Lee County Board of Education first appointed Powell to the board of trustees to serve from February 1992 to June 1993, completing the term of Helen Holder, who had passed away. In 1996, Gov. Jim Hunt appointed him to the board. Since then, he has been reappointed by Govs. Mike Easley and Bev Perdue. His current term ends in 2012. In addition to his four years as board chairman, Powell has served terms as chairman of the Building and Grounds, Personnel, and Program committees, as well as a member of those committees and the Finance Committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobby Powell has given unstintingly of his time, experience, and insight to our board of trustees,â&#x20AC;? said Central Carolina C.C. President Bud Marchant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We appreciate the leadership he has provided over the past four years and look forward to his continuing as a board member for many more years.â&#x20AC;? Powell said sometimes, as board chairman, the hardest thing for him was to listen to everyone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion about an issue before he expressed his own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife, Linda, constantly reminded me that being chairman was not about me, it was about the college,â&#x20AC;? he said with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to learn to wait and listen. Now, as a member, my role will be to support the new chairman and the college president as I always have.â&#x20AC;? Powell has seen many changes at Central Carolina Community College in his years on the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing stays the same,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it did, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be serving our constituency.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staggering how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown in all three counties that we serve, Chatham, Harnett and Lee.â&#x20AC;? Some indications of that growth in recent years are the acquisition of 56 acres that more than doubled the size of the Lee County Campus, construction of the N.C. School of Telecommunications, a new Lee Campus science/administration building, and Emergency Services

felony assault by strangulation and possession of a firearm by a felon, the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office said. Johnson said Alston is cooperating with deputies in the investigation. Gray is being held in Lee County Jail under a $125,000 secured bond. Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s criminal record indicates a history of violence, dating back

Training Center buildings. A Sustainable Technologies Center and the Chatham Community Library at the Pittsboro campus and the new Siler City Center are going up in Chatham. In Harnett, the college opened its first permanent classroom building in western Harnett County with the construction of the West Harnett Center. A new classroom building was completed on the Harnett Campus. The college continues to be a leader in innovative programs, Powell said, particularly in green, sustainable programs such as biofuels, sustainable agriculture, weatherization, and other courses. With all the changes, Powell said some things have remained the same. The basic mission of the college hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed: Enhancing studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives and the lives of their families through education and, by doing so, enhancing the community as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every employee understands that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here for a single purpose: to serve the students,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not doing that, then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason to be here. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget that.â&#x20AC;? The tradition of strong leadership continues, Powell said. The college has had only five presidents in its 49-year history: William Martin, J.F. Hockaday, Marvin Joyner, Matthew Garrett, and Bud Marchant. Each brought his own style, but all were strong leaders, enabling the college to respond to the changing educational needs of its communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most important role of the board is to hire the best person to serve as the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president and then let him do his job,â&#x20AC;? Powell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a good job in that with the hiring of Dr. Garrett in 2004 and Dr. Marchant in 2008. The president is responsible for steering the ship. A good board functions in an advisory role; it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t micromanage a college. A good chairman sees that that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen.â&#x20AC;? He added that the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to serve each countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs goes back to the fact that the communities it serves dictate what they need from the college, rather than the other way around. Something else that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed is what Powell called the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;uncanny abilityâ&#x20AC;? to get

to a 2000 conviction in Lee County on charges of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just glad it ended up like it did,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He could have holed up in his house or somewhere else. It ended really good for him and everybody that nobody got hurt.â&#x20AC;?

the most out of the funding it receives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never enough money,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to do the job by innovative, dedicated employees from top to bottom. Not one person is more important than another when it comes to the mission of the college.â&#x20AC;? The college has also been well-served by the board of trustees, according to Powell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No chairman is stronger than the board he serves with,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember well many of the people who have served on the board. All were strong and served to see the college become better. The only thing I bring to the table is commonsense and fairness. I feel that, if you bring that, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all right.â&#x20AC;? Powell came to Sanford from Roanoke Rapids in 1962. Since then, in addition to his work with the college, he has been actively involved in the community. In 2007, he was awarded The Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the highest honor the governor of North Carolina can bestow on a citizen of the state. It is given only to those who have a long record of extraordinary service to the state or their community. From 1967 to 1998, Powell was head PGA professional, club manager and course superintendent at the Sanford Golf Course and a City of Sanford department head. He is a life member of the Professional Golfers Association of America and a member of the Carolinas Golf Course Superintendents Association. The Louis W. (Bobby) Powell Golf Management Scholarship Fund at Campbell University was established in his honor. In Lee County, Powell served on the board of education for 12 years, was the first coordinator of the Community Action Programs, and directed the first Head Start program. He still serves on the CCCC Foundation Board of Directors. In addition, Powell was a member of the Sanford Exchange Club for 37 years, Sanford Chamber of Commerce, and Lee County Committee of 100. He has served on the Lee County Airport Authority and on the Capital Bank local board of directors. Powell is a Shriner and a member of St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Methodist Church.

Perdue Continued from Page 1A

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not through with the ABC system yet,â&#x20AC;? Perdue said. So why stir the pot for a pair of politically charged issues like alcohol and gambling? She could believe that heavily regulation of video gaming, which has kept popping up in new forms in North Carolina since a 2006 ban on traditional video poker machines, is the best way to control it. Perhaps she thinks getting the state out of the liquor business is a better way to manage alcohol as views on drinking become more permissive. But her willingness may be the result of the harsh fiscal realities state government may face for the third year in a row. With a shortfall already projected to exceed more than $3 billion beginning in mid-2011 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; half of it from lost federal stimulus dollars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Perdue doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to close any avenue that could generate new state revenues. Video poker and ABC privatization could bring in several hundred million dollars. Perdue told reporters last week she had already started working on next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget proposal three weeks into the new fiscal year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have proven that we know how to invest in our core, which is economic development and education,â&#x20AC;? Perdue said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If that requires privatizing a piece of state government, I believe the General Assembly will have the courage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and folks across the state â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to do what is needed to do to

Maj. Gary McNeill said he did not know what caused the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neardrowning in the lake. He said Caddickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family lives in Lee County, although he could not provide the names of his parents.

stand up and be sure that North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core missions will be all right.â&#x20AC;? Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion that the video sweepstakes games or video poker might be revived was surprising. She had just agreed with legislative leaders that the computerbased games sprouting up at Internet cafes, business service centers and makeshift â&#x20AC;&#x153;casinosâ&#x20AC;? were bad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My primary concern was the fact that they had just morphed into something uncontrollable all over the state,â&#x20AC;? Perdue said. Then, she added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think if you have video sweepstakes, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s video poker or video machines in general, we really do need to have some kind of concentrated, organized, unified system of regulation where they are under a set of standards or regulations.â&#x20AC;? Perdue spokeswoman Chrissy Pearson said later while the governor wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actively looking to revive video poker, â&#x20AC;&#x153;she would be open to look at legislation to see what direction to take that. The most important thing will be to regulate it very carefully and make sure it was regulated correctly.â&#x20AC;? While Senate leader Marc Basnight, D-Dare, and House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, strongly oppose video poker, about two dozen House members declined to support the sweepstakes ban when it was approved earlier this month. A huge shortfall could help bring more support for legalizing video poker if sweepstakes games owner find another way to get around a ban. A report from the North Carolina Educa-

tion Lottery gave more credence to numbers pushed by the amusement machine owners for the past year about what the state could generate in tax revenues from regulating the industry. It found the state could receive $350 million in net revenues in its first year, reaching $576 million by the fourth year. Bill Brooks with the North Carolina Family Policy Council is puzzled why Perdue would even consider giving video poker a new foothold in North Carolina. Perdue shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be lured by the potential short-term jackpot from the games because the cost to families harmed by gambling addictions and to the state through reduced economic activity when consumersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money goes into games are much greater. While lieutenant governor, Perdue cast the tie-breaking vote that approved lottery legislation in 2005. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every governor wants to make their mark,â&#x20AC;? Brooks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe Gov. Perdue wants to be known for gambling.â&#x20AC;? As for the ABC system, selling or leasing a chunk of the ABC system to an outside group seemed dead this spring after dozens of local government officials, substance abuse providers and religious leaders argued the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique â&#x20AC;&#x153;controlâ&#x20AC;? system worked well at limiting alcohol abuse while providing more than $250 million in government revenues annually. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The system has been a good system overall and we would like to keep it that way,â&#x20AC;? said Al Brown, a Concord city council member who opposes privatization.

NC-based Marine killed in Afghanistan

Group feeds the beasts with pet-food castoffs

CAMP LEJEUNE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Military officials say a North Carolina-based Marine has been killed in Afghanistan. The Department of Defense announced on Monday that 20-year-old Lance Cpl. Frederik E. Vazquez of Melrose Park, Ill., died July 24 in Helmand province. Vazquez was assigned to 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Lejeune.

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina petfood salesman is trying to build a food network to help people struggling to feed pets. The Winston-Salem Journal reported Monday that Scott Morgan set up a nonprofit organization called Share the Love Pet Food Bank. The group tries to keep unsaleable industry castoffs from going to waste. The group is collecting up to 3,000 pounds of food a month and passing it on to some of its network of nearly two-dozen rescue organizations in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

2009 defense spending in NC exceeded $4 billion

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; State officials say Department of Defense spending in North Carolina has exceeded $4 billion. The spending in fiscal year 2009 was a 10 percent increase over the $364 million spent in the year before. Gov. Beverly Perdue said the numbers indicate that the state is becoming a significant player in the military and defense industry. The state says 86 of North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100 counties have businesses that performed defense-related work last year. A 2008 Department of Commerce study found that the military has a $23 billion impact on North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall economy.

Raleigh considers accommodating high-speed trains RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina is working on ideas to close roads and build bridges for a highspeed rail line that would carry trains at speeds up to 110 mph. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Monday that a fresh round of public hearings begin Monday in Raleigh to give Wake County residents the chance to find out how they will be affected. Hearings also are planned for Tuesday in Henderson and Thursday in Franklinton.

Troopers report decline in teen driver deaths

Boy survives injury from metal rod in brain

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The North Carolina State Highway Patrol says it is seeing a decrease in the number of teen driver fatalities across the state. The patrol said on Monday that it has investigated the deaths of 28 teen drivers so far this year. That compares with 47 such fatalities through the same period in 2009. Highway Patrol Col. Randy Glover says troopers will continue to look at ways on improving the numbers. This year the Highway Patrol conducted an operation in May and June near high schools around North Carolina to enforce traffic laws and educate drivers.

CHAPEL HILL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina family is thankful for their 17-monthold sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life after a gruesome household injury. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Monday that Jessiah Jackson is free of any apparent brain damage after a neurosurgeon removed a metal part lodged two inches into the back of the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain. The boy had fallen off a chair at his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in Wilmington and fell onto an L-shaped part from a pressure washer. He was rushed to University of North Carolina Hospitals in Chapel Hill, where a neurosurgeon removed the metal after two hours of surgery.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina is preparing for a coming bulge of baby boomers who are expected to be beefier and poorer than they would like. The second wave of boomers now 55 to 60 years old may find themselves in rough shape later from a combination of unhealthy living and poor personal finances, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Monday. North Carolina health statistics show that state residents between 55 and 64 years old exercise less and have more strokes than younger groups. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also more likely than any other group to gamble once or more a week and are increasingly using marijuana and other illegal drugs, the newspaper reported. The indicators arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all bad. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baby

boomers smoke less than younger generations. Seven out of 10 eat green salad at least once a week, the highest figure for any age group. North Carolina researchers say the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over-60 population will grow by about 40 percent between 2009 and 2030, when their numbers outstrip the number of youths 17 and under. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to get the word out about the things people have to learn before they get to retirement,â&#x20AC;? said Joan Pellettier, 58, director of the Triangle J Area Agency on Aging, which coordinates aging programs in seven central North Carolina counties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am thinking moving our focus from people who are 60 and older to people that are 50 and older.â&#x20AC;? The state Center for Health Statistics says more than a third of state resi-

dents between 55 and 64 are obese. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bulkier than those a decade younger as well as those a decade older. One in six of this group has been told by a doctor that diabetes has affected his or her kidneys â&#x20AC;&#x201D; again more than the next younger and next older group. A federal snapshot taken between 2002 and 2007 showed that illegal drug use by people in their 50s increased by 46 percent over the five-year period, from about one in 20 to about one in 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a population that was involved in drug use in their 20s or 30s and have just continued using,â&#x20AC;? said Pete Delany, director for the Office of Applied Studies at the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to start asking elderly people, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;By the way,

do you smoke and use marijuana?â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Delany said. As people head into their 60s, they are often taking prescription medicines, and doctors arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure what the interactions with illegal drugs might cause. But some studies show that certain levels can lead to hypertension. Older people affected by drug use can be expected to increase the demand for Medicaid and Medicare services as the boomers move into retirement years. Baby boomers may also have fewer resources to look after themselves in later life. About six of 10 adults nearing retirement say they lost money in the past year in retirement accounts, compared to 28 percent of those between ages 18 and 29 and 36 percent of seniors age 65 and older, according to the Pew Research Center.

WILMINGTON

Marines build full-immersion training complex WILMINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina Marine base is building an indoor training complex to simulate the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fog of warâ&#x20AC;? of Afghan combat, a project designed to reduce mental health problems by better preparing Marines for battle stress. Camp Lejeune project officer Will Smith says the infantry immersion trainer is scheduled to open in February. Construction started earlier this month on the warehouse-sized range that combines live and virtual training in a mock Afghan village with the sounds and smells of war. The Camp Lejeune trainer resembles a similar installation in a 30,000-

square-foot former tomato-packing warehouse near Camp Pendleton, Calif. The Marine Corps also has one at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., and will eventually have trainers in Hawaii and Okinawa, Smith said. The Marine Corps has the highest suicide rate in the armed services and has made huge additions to its mental health care departments to keep up with a skyrocketing number of troops seeking help. Assistant Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos says the trainer will give Marines the tools to cope with combat stress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Realistic training prepares our deploying Marines by simulating

as closely as possible the sights, sounds, smells, and sensations of combat,â&#x20AC;? Amos told a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on suicide, traumatic brain injuries and post traumatic stress in June. The trainer will be located in an industrial area of the base. The Marines will leave from a nearby mock forward operating base and patrol all the way to the trainer. The inside of the trainer will resemble an Afghan village with a rocky landscape and a ditch that resembles a brook. It will be populated by role players and lifesized images projected on walls. Marines will hear deafening explosions and

smell meat cooking in the market or gunpowder after a fire fight, Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stress level is going to be very high. The sights, sounds and smells are going to create the fog of war,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. After the exercise, the squad can analyze the fight. The trainer will have hundreds of cameras so each Marine will be able to watch what he did. The goal, Smith said, is to make sure the Marines learn from their mistakes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can capture the actions of everyone from the squad leader to the rifle man,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to build on mistakes so that he comes back walking home and not in a body bag.â&#x20AC;?

BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hayward to leave as CEO

NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tony Hayward, who became the face of BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flailing efforts to contain the massive Gulf oil spill, will step down as chief executive in October and be offered a job with the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joint venture in Russia, a person familiar with the matter said Monday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement had not been made by the British companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board, which was meeting Monday in London to decide Haywardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate. The decision is the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to make, and it was unclear if it had formally done so. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not yet clear what Haywardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role will be with TNK-BP. He left the board meeting Monday without speaking to reporters, climbing into a silver Lexus that sped off. BP owns half of the oil firm, which is Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-largest. It was once run by American Bob Dudley, now the odds-on favorite to replace Hayward as BP CEO. After Hayward made a series of missteps, including telling reporters he wanted his life back as Gulf residents struggled to deal with the spill, Dudley took over as BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point man in dealing with it. He was in London Monday with other board members. Hayward was called back to London a month ago after a bruising encounter with a Congressional committee and has since kept a low profile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting to the end of the situation,â&#x20AC;? said David Battersby at Redmayne Bentley Stockbrokers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To draw a line under it, they need a new chief executive.â&#x20AC;? In New York, BP shares rose almost 5 percent

Monday as the stock market anticipated a formal announcement about Hayward. Shares of BP PLC rose $1.82, or 4.9 percent, to $38.68 in midday trading in New York. BP shares closed up 4.6 percent Monday at 416.95 pence in London. The BP board would have to approve a change in company leadership, and there is persistent speculation that chairman Karl-Henric Svanberg, who moved into the post on Jan. 1, is also likely to lose his job later this year. The one-day board meeting comes a day before BP announces earnings for the second quarter. That report is expected to include preliminary provisions for the cost of the Gulf disaster, with analysts saying that could be as high as $30 billion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;BP notes the press speculation over the weekend regarding potential changes to management and the charge for the costs of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. BP confirms that no final decision has been

Shares were up 2.6 percent at 408.95 pence ($6.33) in midafternoon trading in London. Crews were restarting work to plug the leaky Gulf well after the remnants of Tropical Storm Bonnie blew through, forcing a short evacuation. The U.S. governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil spill chief, Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, said Monday that the so-called static kill â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in which mud and cement are blasted in from the top of the well â&#x20AC;&#x201D; should start Aug. 2. If all goes well, the final stage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in which mud and cement are blasted in from deep underground â&#x20AC;&#x201D; should begin Aug. 7. BP said the bottom kill could take days or weeks, depending on how well the static kill works, meaning it will be mid-August before the well is plugged for good. Hayward, 53, who has a Ph.D in geology, had been a well-regarded chief executive. But his promise when he took the job in 2007 to focus on safety â&#x20AC;&#x153;like a laserâ&#x20AC;? came back to haunt him after an April 20 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig killed 11 workers and unleashed a deep-sea gusher of oil.

Blagojevich judge clashes sends jury home CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The judge in Rod Blagojevichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corruption trial has clashed with an attorney for the former Illinois governor about what the lawyer can say in closing arguments. Judge James Zagel sent the jury home for the day Monday after Blagojevichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney Sam Adam Jr. complained the judge was gutting his closing arguments. Adam said he intended to mention witnesses that prosecutors did not call â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even though the judge previously warned him not to do so. Adam also says he would be willing to go to jail for contempt if the judge didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change his mind.

DENVER (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The federal government is rapidly expanding a program to identify illegal immigrants using fingerprints from arrests, drawing opposition from local authorities and advocates who argue the initiative amounts to an excessive dragnet. The program has gotten less attention than Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new immigration law, but it may end up having a bigger impact because of its potential to round up and deport so many immigrants nationwide. The San Francisco sheriff wanted nothing to do with the program, and the City Council in Washington, D.C., blocked use of the fingerprint plan in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital. Colorado is the latest to debate the program, called Secure Communities, and immigrant groups have begun to speak up, telling the governor in a letter last week that the initiative will make crime victims reluctant to cooperate with police â&#x20AC;&#x153;due to fear of being drawn into the immigration regime.â&#x20AC;? Under the program, the fingerprints of everyone who is booked into jail for any crime are run against FBI criminal history records and Department of Homeland Security immigration records to determine who is in the country illegally and whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been arrested previously. Most jurisdictions are not included in the program, but Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been expanding the initiative.

ocean, failed to take the heat off BP. Later remarks that the amount of oil pouring into the Gulf was â&#x20AC;&#x153;tinyâ&#x20AC;? compared to its volume of water and Haywardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whining that he would â&#x20AC;&#x153;like my life backâ&#x20AC;? made him an object of scorn. That emotion turned to fury when Gulf residents heard that Hayward spent a day at a fancy English sailing race in which his yacht was competing at the height of the disaster. David Cumming, head of U.K. equities at Standard Life Investments, said the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reported intention to remove Hayward is an act of â&#x20AC;&#x153;political appeasement.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they have taken view that his departure will relieve some of the political and media pressure in the U.S. and help BP rebuild its U.S. reputation,â&#x20AC;? Cumming told BBC radio. Chief executives inevitably often are sacked for corporate failure, whether or not they had any direct responsibility for what happened, said Howard Wheeldon, senior strategist at BGC Partners in London. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neither should we forget that Mr. Hayward has been master of his own downfall and that by those sometimes unfortunate remarks and attitude displayed in public he made his own situation all the more worse,â&#x20AC;? Wheeldon said.

Pelosi, McConnell give different views on unemployment

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday urged state lawmakers to lobby for House-passed initiatives endangered in the Senate, while Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell complained congressional Democrats were out of touch with voters. The two leaders gave starkly different assessments of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current course in partisantinged speeches at the annual meeting of the National Conference of State Legislatures. Their comments to the bipartisan gathering previewed potential electionyear attacks by both parties in their struggle for control of Congress. Pelosi credited last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $787 billion stimulus package, passed over deep Republican objections, with creating or saving as many as 3.6 million jobs so far. She asserted that more jobs will be created in the first eight months of 2010 than in the eight years of Republican George W. Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidency, though Republicans have frequently disputed those numbers. A short time later, McConnell countered that the massive stimulus â&#x20AC;&#x153;hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kept us from losing another 2 1/2 million jobsâ&#x20AC;? with unemployment at 9.5 percent.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold your breath on home prices rebound WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thought the housing crisis was over? Not quite. Despite four years of falling prices and recent signs that they were finally bottoming out, homes are expected to lose still more value in many metro areas over the next year. Parts of the country already pummeled by the housing crisis, like Las Vegas, Phoenix and Miami, will be hit hardest. But even some places that have rebounded or held up relatively well â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will suffer, too. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the conclusion of economists who have been reducing their estimates for home prices as the outlook for the economic recovery has darkened. The number of homes for sale or headed for foreclosure is so high that they think prices will be even lower by next July.

Artists find intriguing ways to mine cataloges By DAVID BAUDER AP Entertainment Writer

NEW YORK — At a time of transition for their industries and careers, veteran musicians are seeking out ways to make something old seem new again. Current projects by R.E.M., Sting, Squeeze and Suzanne Vega illustrate some different approaches artists are using to mine their cataloges for fresh business. All are more creative than the common begrudging approach to the past: Let the record company package some greatest hits together and add a new song or two for flavor. Vega is in the midst of a four-volume set of bare-bones versions of old songs, arranged thematically. Squeeze re-recorded some of their best songs so faithfully they challenge fans to, as the disc’s title says, “Spot the Difference.” Sting, who released a medievalinspired holiday album last fall and two years earlier wrapped up a Police reunion, recently released symphonic versions of old songs. R.E.M.’s record company just released a 25th anniversary edition of the “Fables of the Reconstruction” disc, a few months after the band

Besides the attempt to squeeze more income from old work, the projects illustrate the shared circumstance of artists who became popular some 25 or 30 years ago. They’re working artists — at a peak age of creativity for most professions — playing for audiences increasingly interested in what they did rather than what they’re doing. Squeeze’s Chris Difford kicked around this topic while having a drink a few weeks ago with Neil Finn, who reformed the band Crowd-

ed House and is releasing its second album since the return. “He didn’t want to go out on the road and play another hits package,” Difford said. “No artist does. You want to go out and play the things that most interest you. There are ways of doing that where you can marry the two together.” Despite two catalogmining releases within a year, bass player Mike Mills said R.E.M. continues to look forward. The band has split time in New Orleans and Berlin this year making a new album. “The thrill of being in a band is writing a new

song, rehearsing it with the guys and having it become something new and exciting,” he said. “At the point you’re not doing that anymore, you can either quit or become a jukebox band, a greatest hits band. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just never a direction in which we’ve wanted to go.” The deluxe “Fables of the Reconstruction” reissue cleans up the sound of R.E.M.’s third album, and includes a surprisingly redundant bonus disc with versions of the songs recorded in the band’s Athens, Ga., base before the band went to London to make the disc with producer Joe Boyd. The two-disc album from Olympia Theatre in Dublin, released last fall, is more interesting. The band took over the theater for live rehearsals before an audience, testing out songs for their upcoming “Accelerate” album. R.E.M. mixed in a lot of material from their cult favorite period in the early to mid-1980s, much of it left behind when the band started having hits. All but 10 of the project’s 39 songs are vintage, songs like “Kohoutek,” “Cuyahoga” and “So. Central Rain” that are attacked with some nervousness by musicians wondering if they

would remember them. “It’s like trying on a shirt that you haven’t worn in 20 years,” Mills said. “If it still fits, then it feels pretty good.” Squeeze literally tried on some old clothes, along with vintage recording equipment and instruments, to get in the spirit while making its new/old disc. Its roots were strictly business. The Universal record company controls the rights to Squeeze’s old recordings, which left Difford and partner Glenn Tilbrook feeling trapped. Marketing old Squeeze songs were low priority, yet Squeeze material was considered too valuable to give up, Difford explained. Their unhappiness came to a head three years ago when, on a trip to the United States, Difford turned on the TV and heard “Tempted” in a beer commercial. He had known nothing about it. Squeeze wants to market its catalog for use in soundtracks and ads more aggressively, but realizes no one’s going to want a new version of “Tempted” unless it sounds almost identical to the original — complete with former band member Paul Carrack to repeat his vocal. “You’re like a forensics scientist,” Difford said.

Fox’s Megyn Kelly taking center stage NEW YORK (AP) — The aftermath of Megyn Kelly’s interview with a former Justice Department lawyer over a New Black Panther Party case has made her a hero and a villain. The Fox News Channel host is a hero to fans who appreciate the time she has spent on a story about a nightstickcarrying New Black Panther Party member standing outside a 2008 pollKelly ing place, wondering if it reflects an Obama administration inconsistency in pursuing civil rights cases. But she’s a villain to critics who believe Kelly is promoting a dubious story given outsized attention because it could hurt a president unpopular with most of Fox’s viewers. Kelly, host of her own daytime show at Fox, had the first media interview with J. Christian Adams, a former Justice Department lawyer angry about the Obama administration’s handling of the case. Adams alleged his bosses have no interest in civil rights cases unless minorities are adversely affected, a charge the administration denies. A criminal investigation into the Philadelphia episode was dropped by the Bush administration, but the Obama administration obtained a narrower civil court order against the conduct than Bush officials had sought.

Louis Prima gets posthumous Hollywood star LOS ANGELES (AP) — “King of Swing” Louis Prima has received a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a centennial celebration that included dancing in the street to his big-band sounds. The influential band leader was honored at a Sunday ceremony on Vine Street attended by his son Louis Prima Jr., who continues the legacy of his father’s music, his daughter Lena Prima, celebrities, dignitaries and fans. “Louis Prima was a great entertainer and presented a great show. But more than anything else, he brought happiness to his audiences,” said Bill Cosby in a congratulatory message read at the midday ceremony, which also included a concert of Prima’s music by Louis Prima Jr.’s big band, The Witnesses, as well as swing-dancing fans. Prima, who died in 1978, would have been 100 years old this year.

Leaks create fresh doubt about war By ROBERT BURNS Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The monumental leak of classified Afghan war documents threatened Monday to create deeper doubts about the war at home, cause new friction with Pakistan over allegations about its spy agency and raise questions around the world about Washington’s own ability to protect military secrets. The White House called the disclosures “alarming.” The torrent of more than 91,000 secret documents, one of the largest unauthorized disclosures in military history, sent the Obama administration scrambling to assess and repair any damage to the war effort, either abroad or in the U.S. The material could reinforce the view put forth by the war’s opponents in Congress that one of the nation’s longest conflicts is hopelessly stalemated. Still, the leaks are not expected to affect passage of a $60 billion war funding bill. Despite strong opposition among liberals who see Afghanistan as an unwinnable quagmire, House Democrats must either approve the bill before leaving at the end of this week for a six-week vacation, or commit political suicide by leaving troops in the lurch in war zones overseas. The Pentagon also was looking at possible damage on the ground in Afghanistan. “Someone inadver-

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said Monday he believes there is evidence of war crimes in the thousands of pages of leaked U.S. military documents relating to the war in Afghanistan. tently or on purpose gave the Taliban its new ’enemies list,”’ declared Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., who said the White House indicated the disclosures compromised a number of Afghan sources. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs emphasized that the documents covered the period before President Barack Obama ordered a major increase in U.S. troops fighting in Afghanistan, and the administration denied they would cause any policy shift in the fight against Taliban insurgents. Indeed, despite the furor over the publication of the reports on the WikiLeaks whistleblower website, the information did not reveal any fundamentally new problems in the war effort. Military officers, current and former, described the documents as mostly tactical

spot reports, including hunches about possible suspects and bomb plots that couldn’t be verified. Some of the reports contain errors; others appear to be based on flimsy evidence. Still, much of the material is anything but encouraging. Underscoring the difficulties the U.S. faces, the documents include the first publicly released indication that the Taliban has used portable surface-to-air missiles against U.S. helicopters. One report on a June 2005 incident said a Black Hawk helicopter used evasive measures to avoid getting hit east of Kandahar by what its crew chief identified as a portable missile. The documents also report potential Iranian support of an Afghan terrorist group. They said that on Jan. 30, 2005, Iranian intel-

ligence agencies brought the equivalent of $212,800 in Afghan currency across the Iranian border and transferred it to a 1990s-model white Toyota Corolla station wagon occupied by members of Hizb-iIslami, a Taliban-allied insurgent group led by former Afghan Prime Minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. The money trail was lost. Col. Dave Lapan, a Defense Department spokesman, said the military would probably need “days, if not weeks” to determine “the potential damage to the lives of our service members and coalition partners.” WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said the release of documents was just the beginning. He told reporters in London that some 15,000 more files on Afghanistan were still being vetted by his organization.

Twin parked car bombs kill 25 in Iraqi city of Karbala BAGHDAD (AP) — Two car bombs targeting Shiite pilgrims during a religious festival in the holy city of Karbala killed 25 people on Monday, Iraqi police and hospital officials said. Sunni extremists are suspected. Militants detonated two parked cars filled with explosives about two miles (three kilometers) apart as crowds of pilgrims passed by. Police and medical officials in Karbala, 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of Baghdad, said 68 people were injured in the attacks. The pilgrims were on their way to Karbala to take part in an important religious holiday, known as Shabaniyah, that attracts devout Shiites from around the country. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the Monday bombings, but the method is the hallmark of Sunni extremists. While violence has dropped dramatically in the past years in Iraq, suspected Sunni insurgents regularly target Shiite religious ceremonies and holy places in an attempt to re-ignite sectarian tensions that brought Iraq to the brink of civil war in 2005 and 2007.

World’s first full face transplant goes before TV cameras MADRID (AP) — A Spanish man who underwent the world’s first full face transplant appeared before TV cameras Monday for the first time since his surgery, thanking his doctors and the family of the donor. Identified only as Oscar, the 31-year-old spoke with considerable difficulty at a news conference at Barcelona’s Vall d’Hebron hospital, where he was operated on in late March. During the 24-hour surgery, doctors lifted an entire face, including jaw, nose, cheekbones, muscles, teeth and eyelids, and placed it masklike onto the man. He has been described as a farmer who was unable to breathe or eat on his own after accidentally shooting himself in the face five years ago. The head of the surgical team, Dr. Joan Pere Barret, said Monday that Oscar will need between a year and 18 months of physical therapy and is expected to regain up to 90 percent of his facial functions. He is now being released from the hospital and sent home.

Davis talks, but has little he can say BY BRIANA GORMAN bgorman@heraldsun.com

North Carolina football coach Butch Davis, shown in this file photo, said on Monday at the ACC’s Media Day that the Tar Heels can do nothing but wait for word from the NCAA.

GREENSBORO — Judging by the reporters standing four-deep at Butch Davis’ table Monday at the ACC Football Kickoff in Greensboro, the North Carolina coach was the most popular man at the event. But despite the crowd, Davis did not have much more to share about the NCAA investigation that has engulfed his football program since the middle of July. Before he was even asked a question Davis delivered a statement, reiterating once again that he could not talk about the ongoing NCAA probe. “I know there’s a lot of people that would like to ask an awful lot of questions about the NCAA review,” Davis said. “As I have redundantly said throughout the course of today, there’s just no way that I can comment right now. The NCAA has said one of the fastest ways to get this process to happen as quickly as possible is for as few things to have to comment in the newspaper.” Davis would not talk about the uncertainty of suspensions surrounding the team and would not speculate about what would happen if the

Hokies, Seminoles top preseason poll By AARON BEARD AP Sports Writer

GREENSBORO — Virginia Tech is again picked for a familiar finish in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Hokies earned 50 of a possible 98 votes from media members at the league’s twoday preseason media event, marking the third time in four seasons the Hokies are the preseason favorite. Virginia Tech claimed the ACC crown in its debut season (2004) and won

the league championship game in both 2007 and 2008. “I think it kind of makes a statement about our program in general, that we would be picked where we are,” Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said. “I’m appreciative, but you’ve got to go earn it, and that’s their challenge right now.” Florida State was the runaway choice to win the Atlantic Division and has the league’s preseason player of the year in quarterback Christian Ponder. Ponder earned 45 votes to eas-

ily outdistance Hokies running back Ryan Williams (16) and quarterback Tyrod Taylor (11). “You have this big job, you have to embrace expectations,” said Jimbo Fisher, who is preparing for his first season as Bobby Bowden’s successor at Florida State. “Here’s the thing you’ve got to understand: expectations don’t win games.” The Hokies earned 62 votes to be the favorite in the Coastal Division, followed by Miami (20), defending ACC champion Georgia Tech (11), North Caro-

lina (5), Duke and Virginia. In the Atlantic, the Seminoles received 78 votes and were followed by Clemson (16), Boston College (4), North Carolina State, Wake Forest and Maryland. The division winners meet Dec. 4 in the league championship game, which is moving to Charlotte for the first time. POINTS TO PONDER: Christian Ponder is probably the ACC’s best chance to be a

NASCAR gets tougher on drivers By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

RAYS’ GARZA TOSSES MLB’S 5TH NO-HITTER THIS SEASON ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Matt Garza pitched the first no-hitter in Tampa Bay Rays history and the fifth in the major leagues this season, beating the Detroit Tigers 5-0 Monday night. Garza faced the minimum 27 batters, allowing only a secondinning walk, for a team that’s often been on the wrong end of pitching gems lately. The Rays have been held hitless three times since last July, including a pair of perfect games that were thrown against them. The last time there were at least five no-hitters in a season was 1991, when Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan threw one of seven in the big leagues that year, according to STATS LLC.

oncerns about a halfempty race track dogged NASCAR long before Sunday’s race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the sanctioning body’s top officials didn’t want to discuss attendance or any other ailments plaguing the nation’s No. 1 racing series. The conversation was instead steered to all the things NASCAR is doing right, a theme that became evident before the season started, when competitors spread a message of hope and unity. Turns out that the racing series was serious about keeping everybody on point. The Associated Press has learned that NASCAR warned teams during the offseason that

public criticism of the sport would no longer be tolerated, and at least two star drivers have been fined — one as much as $50,000 — for comments that were deemed destructive to the industry. NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston on Monday night confirmed some action had been taken, but would not discuss details. “It is the sanctioning body’s obligation on behalf of the industry and our fans to protect the sport’s brand,” Poston said. “Any action taken by NASCAR has nothing to do with the drivers expressing an opinion — it’s focused on actions or comments that materially damage the sport. “We have specifically discussed this in meetings with

With no news on owner search, Canes unveil logo RALEIGH (AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes say there aren’t any updates in their search for a new minority partner. General manager Jim Rutherford said Monday there’s no news on the plan of owner Peter Karmanos Jr. to find a new minority investor in the team. Karmanos had said in May that he hired an investment bank to help

him find a new minority investor. General partner Thomas Thewes died in 2008. Rutherford spoke at a press conference to unveil the logo for this season’s All-Star game. Karmanos Jr. was scheduled to attend the unveiling of the logo, but canceled his appearance Monday morning. The game is Jan. 30 at the RBC Center.

Hornets confident theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep Paul NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hornets star guard Chris Paul did not request a trade Monday in his meeting with new coach Monty Williams and top team officials, general manager Dell Demps said. Demps, essentially in his first day on the job since his hiring last week, added that he was confident Paul would still be with New Orleans when the coming season opens. The meeting was held at an undisclosed downtown location before Demps made his

way back to the Hornetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; corporate offices to meet with reporters. Although Paul did not speak with the media, the team released statement from him that indicated the three-time All-Star and Olympic gold medalist was encouraged by the Hornetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recent coaching and front-office overhaul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The meeting went well. It was great to get an opportunity to sit down with coach Williams, president Weber and our new general manager, Dell Demps,â&#x20AC;? Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state-

ment said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expressed my desire to win and I like what they said about the direction that they want to take the team. I have been a Hornet my entire career and I hope to represent the city of New Orleans and state of Louisiana for many years to come.â&#x20AC;? Paul has two years remaining before he can opt out of his current contract with the Hornets. However, he said at his charity golf outing earlier this month that he would welcome a trade if the

Hornets did not demonstrate a willingness to give him a supporting cast that would make the club good enough to compete with any team in the NBA. Only days after making that statement, Paul fired his agent and hired Leon Rose, who also represents LeBron James. Paul also agreed to work with Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; LRMR marketing agency. Soon after, Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representatives told the Hornets that Paul was interested in being traded, but the Hornets countered by scheduling a meeting in New Orleans that included Demps, Williams and team president Hugh Weber, Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, C.J. Paul, and Rose.

Williams: Dez dustup not a big deal

MLB

SPORTS BRIEFS Titans sue Lane Kiffin, USC for poaching assistant

SAN ANTONIO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dallas Cowboys receiver Roy Williams canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even get his 4year-old son to carry his shoulder pads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Man, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get anybody to carry them,â&#x20AC;? Williams joked Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m mad at him too.â&#x20AC;? A day after the drama created when first-round pick Dez Bryant refused to carry the veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pads off the field after practice, a long-standing rookie ritual, Williams said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;not a big dealâ&#x20AC;? and that the teammates were fine with each other. Bryant didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment while jogging off the field with cameramen and reporters following him. There are some who believe Bryant could challenge Williams for the starting job opposite Pro Bowl receiver Miles Austin. The rookie has been impressive in all four sessions so far, and during some post-practice drills Monday dunked the ball over the goalpost after catching a pass in the end zone. Though he called the shoulder pads situation â&#x20AC;&#x153;a non-issue,â&#x20AC;? coach Wade Phillips said he addressed the team about it because of how quickly the story spread. Phillips said he talked to someone from Toronto who said it was a top story there.

Atlanta Bravesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Melky Cabrera, left, is congratulated by teammate Martin Prado, right, after scoring on a two-out, pinch-hit RBI-double hit by Chipper Jones in the eighth inning during a baseball game against the Florida Marlins in Miami, Sunday.

Like old times: Braves back in first place ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brian McCann grew up cheering for Glavine and McGriff, Maddux and Justice, guys who expected to make the playoffs year after year after year. The Braves catcher is starting to get that feeling himself. Atlanta has reclaimed a once-familiar position, first place in the NL East for going on two months now. Even after losing two of three at Florida over the weekend (just their second series loss since early May), the Braves enjoyed a day off Monday with a 4 1/2game lead over Philadelphia, the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-time reigning champs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a huge baseball fan growing up. This was the team I rooted for,â&#x20AC;? said

McCann, a five-time AllStar and native of suburban Atlanta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely think the team we have here now is how they played in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s.â&#x20AC;? The formula sure sounds similar: Stingy pitching, solid defense, opportunistic hitting, that familiar face running it all from the dugout. Yes, even Bobby Cox is starting to get that feeling again, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great chemistry right now,â&#x20AC;? said Cox, who has more wins (2,465) than all but three other managers in major league history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all pulling together.â&#x20AC;? This is the final season for the 69-year-old Cox, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even attempt to pry out of him the meaning of

his impending retirement â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more likely to agree to a root canal than talk about anything more than the next game. Yet the players seem intent on providing their beloved skipper with more than a rocking chair for his going-away present. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobby Cox is the reason the Braves have had so much success,â&#x20AC;? McCann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treating it like just another season, but we want to make it special for him.â&#x20AC;? In many ways, this is an appropriate team for Cox to go out on. It looks a lot like that group he had way back in 1991, the year the Braves went from worst to the first of their unprecedented 14 straight division titles.

Contador soars in Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s super summer

MADRID (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alberto Contador returned home Monday and presented a replica of his yellow Tour de France jersey to the prime minister of Spain, who is fast becoming an old hand at these sorts of things. Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero seems to be spending his summer greeting triumphant homegrown athletes.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spanish sport is on a spectacular streak,â&#x20AC;? he said. Contador, who has won the Tour de France three of the last four years, was received by hundreds of fans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; mostly from his native Pinto â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at Madridâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Barajas airport before meeting Zapatero. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful to contribute to this moment in Spanish sport, which is in such healthy shape and is

the envy of so many other countries,â&#x20AC;? Contador said Monday. After his meeting with Zapatero at the Moncloa government palace, Contador was to head to Pinto, about 12 miles south of the capital, where another tribute was in store. Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup victory this month came two years after the country began its resurgence by capturing the European

Championship. The title in South Africa came a week after Rafael Nadal clinched his second Wimbledon crown. A few months earlier, Nadal won the French Open for the fifth time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Spanish July,â&#x20AC;? wrote El Mundo newspaper as Contador and Formula One driver Fernando Alonsoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory at the German Grand Prix on Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x153;closed the greatest month ever in Spanish sport.â&#x20AC;?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Tennessee Titans are suing Southern California and coach Lane Kiffin for â&#x20AC;&#x153;maliciouslyâ&#x20AC;? luring away assistant running backs coach Kennedy Pola a week before training camp opens. Tennessee Football Inc., the company that owns the Titans, filed the lawsuit Monday in Davidson County Chancery Court against both the university and Kiffin. The lawsuit accuses Southern California and Kiffin of violating Polaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract that required him to have written permission to discuss a job with anyone other than the Titans. Tennessee signed Pola on Feb. 1. Kiffin hired Pola on Saturday as his offensive coordinator and running backs coach at Southern California. The Tennessean first reported the lawsuit on its website.

NFL: No change in Vickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s status BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An NFL spokesman says there has been no change in Michael Vickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing status, so the Eagles quarterback reported to training camp on Monday as expected. When asked whether a league investigation of Vick has been completed, Greg Aiello tells The Associated Press in an e-mail the NFL would have no further comment on Vick at this time. Vick reiterated on Monday that he has done nothing wrong. The NFL and the Eagles have been looking into a shooting incident at a Virginia Beach, Va., nightclub, where Vick held his 30th birthday party on June 25th. Police say no charges will be filed in the incident because of a lack of cooperation by witnesses and the victim, who Vickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney Larry Woodward identified as Quanis Phillips â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a co-defendant in Vickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal dogfighting case.

McGrady works out with Bulls CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Seventime All-Star Tracy McGrady worked out for the Chicago Bulls on Monday with hopes of landing with the team he turned down a

decade earlier. McGrady could be a low-risk addition for a reconfigured team coming off back-to-back first-round playoff exits. The Bulls wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pay him much and could refuse to fully guarantee the deal if they make an offer, but there are big questions surrounding his health. The two-time scoring champion had microfracture surgery on his left knee in February 2009 and appeared in just 30 games last season with New York and Houston, averaging 8.2 points. Besides concerns about his condition, another issue is whether heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll accept a more limited role.

HoF changes voting for veterans COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The baseball Hall of Fame has changed the way that managers, umpires, executives and long-retired players will be considered for election. Candidates will be reviewed in three eras: PreIntegration (1871-1946), Golden (1947-1972) and Expansion (starting in 1973). One composite ballot will be considered in each era. The Expansion Era ballot will include 12 candidates, while the Golden and PreIntegration era ballots each will have 10. The changes were announced Monday and go into effect immediately.

Trial begins on alleged extortion Louisvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pitino LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Opening statements in the trial of a woman charged with trying to extort University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino, then lying about it to the FBI, focused on sex at a restaurant and who may have lied about it. Assistant U.S. Attorney John Kuhn said in opening statements Monday morning that Karen Cunagin Sypher threatened to ruin Pitinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation with false allegations of rape and forced abortion and has lied repeatedly as part of her scheme. Sypherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, James Earhart, told jurors Pitino pulled strings and used his influence to cover up a sexual encounter with Sypher, and others had their own motives for manipulating his client.

investigation lingers after the season begins Sept. 4 against LSU. He said UNC has cooperated fully with the NCAA and the feedback he’s received is that the quicker you cooperate and the more help you provide, the faster the process moves along. “The only instruction we gave the players was tell the truth,” Davis said. “That’s the only smart, rational instructions you could tell anybody. Just tell the truth.” Davis said the team is excited for training camp to begin Aug. 6, and he does not think the investigation will derail the high expectations for the Tar Heels this season. UNC was picked to finish fourth in the tough Coastal Division and received two ACC championship votes. “I think there are instances that happen, and we will deal with these things and I think we’ll be a better program because of it,” Davis said. “I think we’ll learn some things about this world that’s out there, that maybe we were some-

what naive or maybe not as educated or maybe didn’t know as much about.” The NCAA investigation allegedly focuses on improper contact between agents and players, and Davis said UNC tries to be proactive about educating players about agents. He said not only does the coaching staff and compliance office constantly talk to the players, but they bring in outside entities to talk to the players. Davis admitted there is an agent problem in college football but said there’s no single organization that can fix the situation. He said prosecuting fraudulent agents might be part of the solution as well as jail time and loss of licenses. “Maybe conferences and coaches and athletic directors get together and they start sharing the information,” Davis said. “Just like there’s a so-called ‘black list’ of agents that could potentially lose their license with the NFL Players’ Association, maybe there needs to be something within the conferences that says, ‘Hey, look, here are guys, that if they’re visiting your campus, you need to notify all of your players and their families that these are bad guys.’ “

teams, drivers and stakeholders.” Drivers all declined to publicly discuss the policy, but it shouldn’t come as any surprise — considering NASCAR’s heightened effort this year to re-ignite interest in a sport that’s been fighting sagging attendance, declining television ratings and overall fan apathy for several seasons. NASCAR has taken several aggressive steps toward improving the on-track product, but its top brass decided that outstanding events aren’t enough to overcome the negative perception created every time a driver publicly blasts the series. “It doesn’t make sense to criticize the food in a restaurant if you expect people to come back,” has been chairman Brian France’s season-long mantra, and it became clear very quickly that he’d personally delivered that message in a series of offseason meetings with every Sprint Cup Series team. What came from those sessions was a concerted effort to pull everyone in the industry in line when it came to NASCAR’s attempts to stop the bleeding. In stop after stop during the January preseason media tour, drivers, team owners and top executives went out of their way to heap unsolicited praise on NASCAR and the direction the sport is heading. Such an organized effort raised eyebrows, but didn’t feel fake or forced because — for the first time in recent memory — everyone

seemed to recognize what was at stake. Of all professional sports, NASCAR was hit hardest by the recession. Corporate sponsorship, the lifeblood of auto racing, dried up and several longtime team owners were put out of business. Others needed mergers or significant reductions to stay afloat, and industrywide layoffs put more than 1,000 team members out of work following the 2008 season finale. Adding to NASCAR’s woes was the crippling effect the economy had on its fan base, a predominantly blue-collar bunch that found itself unable to make mortgage payments let alone afford tickets to three-day race weekends. Then came a growing discontent with the actual racing, fueled in part by NASCAR’s heavy-handed rulings and mandated use of a redesigned race car that fans and drivers never embraced. NASCAR now thinks that negative comments from drivers didn’t help matters. After his March 2007 victory in Bristol in the first race with the new car, Kyle Busch proclaimed to anyone who would listen that the car “sucks.” NASCAR officials believe that jarring assessment forever tainted the car in the eyes of the fans. Similar instances have followed, among them Tony Stewart comparing NASCAR’s officiating to professional wrestling, harsh criticism from drivers over “boring races” and questions about the timing of debris cautions. NASCAR clearly felt it had to get in line with other

pro sports leagues, which routinely fine competitors, coaches and owners for critical comments and questionable behavior. Earlier this month, the NBA fined Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert $100,000 for a controversial letter to fans that criticized LeBron James. So on one hand, NASCAR’s decision to police the series in a similar manner makes sense: At a time when nearly every decision made is designed to help the sport rebound, this is the most effective way of protecting the brand. But it’s also a slippery slope. NASCAR fans often choose their favorite drivers based on personality and competitive fire, and after years of complaining that the stars had become too corporate, the racers this year were urged to let loose. From the “boys, have at it” policy that permits more aggressive driving, to NASCAR encouraging drivers to cut back sponsor plugs in favor of raw emotion, now asking them to bite their tongue is a mixed message. For now, it seems that NASCAR has a fairly hightolerance for what competitors can and can’t say — only drawing the line at comments it believes encourage fans to stop following the sport. But it will be up to the fans to decide if this is truly a good policy or not. Going forward, who knows now if the drivers will feel comfortable enough to speak their minds? That’s always been one of NASCAR’s top draws, and it’s something the series can’t afford to lose.

“They came to me at the beginning of the whole process and asked me if I’d be comfortable with it. I told them, ’Yeah.’ I already put so much pressure on myself and have such high expectations for myself, and this doesn’t really change anything.”

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Rejected senior finds it hard to accept neighbor’s conquest DEAR ABBY: I was involved with “Ralph” for two years. We live in a senior apartment complex, and women have been coming on to him for years. He is now seeing “Joan,” who happens to be my neighbor. This hurts me deeply. This is a small complex and it’s difficult to face them. I am desperately trying to hold my words and feelings inside because it is hard not to call the woman a “slut.” I blame Ralph more. He made the decision to humiliate me, but how can Joan do this to her own neighbor? How do I handle this with class? — SHATTERED HEART

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Emotions will be hard to deny and will prompt you to reevaluate what’s important and where you should put your time, money and energy this year. There are plenty of possibilities that can develop if you join forces with the right people. Tying your old ideas into new plans will lead to your success. Your numbers are 4, 18, 22, 27, 29, 35, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take responsibility and you will have no regrets. Emotions will stand in the way of being able to make a good decision, especially with matters pertaining to work. Avoid anyone with the potential to bully you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Think before someone talks you into doing something that isn’t really your responsibility. You can easily be taken advantage of. You have a choice: Stand up for yourself or give in to pressure. GEMINI (May 21June 20): Showing your originality in the way you present and promote your attributes will entertain a captive audience and help you structure your plans for the future. Don’t let love stand in the way of your progress. Put your emotions on hold. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Talks will be necessary if you plan to make some changes at home, work or within an organization you belong to. Expect someone to push you regarding work that has to be done. If you aren’t planning on finishing the job, say so and walk away. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can’t count on anything, especially if it has to do with money. Pay off debts and research before you invest. A financial mistake can be made easily if you aren’t well-informed. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

WORD JUMBLE

22): Question anything or anyone that appears shady. A big talker is likely to lead you in the wrong direction. Be responsible for the jobs expected of you. A lack of production will belittle your reputation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Share your thoughts, ideas and talents and you will be given a chance to put what you have mastered to the test. Get serious about work and partnerships that can help you earn a higher income and allow you greater freedom. SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): Nothing will go according to plan. You will have to be ready to make last-minute alterations if you are going to come out ahead. An emotional situation will take an unexpected turn. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be open about what you want to see unfold if you expect to achieve your dreams. Travel will lead to interesting conversations, giving you greater insight into the possibilities available and what you can achieve. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Creative accounting will help you get what you want. You will find a way to enhance whatever you get involved in, be it business or personal partnerships, money deals or a contract for services you can offer. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): You’ll know instinctively what needs to be done and, whether you like it or not, you will have to follow through. Living up to a standard or upholding what’s being asked of you will be necessary, even if everyone else is reneging. You will win in the end. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Stick to your own affairs and you will avoid trouble. Someone is likely to try to pull you into a situation offering no benefits. Emotional manipulation is apparent where work-related matters are concerned.

DEAR SHATTERED HEART: The smart way to handle it “with class” is to keep your temper in check and do no name-calling. If Ralph didn’t make your relationship official, he was free to start seeing someone else. While I agree that this is a painful disappointment, do not waste one more minute feeling “humiliated.” Not all romances work out — and a remedy for easing the pain is to become more active. Do not sit around feeling sorry for yourself watching Ralph and Joan come and go. Time can ease a broken heart — but if it doesn’t, consider trading rooms/apartments with someone on a different floor.

DEAR CAREFUL: You did the right thing by not pulling out. If the call was important — as you say it was — you were right to deal with the matter immediately. Until you vacated it, that parking spot was yours.

I took the call and wanted to finish the conversation before I pulled out and started driving. Meanwhile, someone had pulled up and wanted my parking spot. He honked his horn at me repeatedly. It was a diagonal space, and he would not have seen my arm if I had waved him on. I know it was frustrating for this person who wanted to park, but I thought it was more important for me not to drive while on the phone. My husband thinks I should have pulled out anyway, or postponed the call. Who do you think is right? — CAREFUL IN LA JOLLA, CALIF.

o DEAR ABBY: My 50-year-old husband and his 27-year-old son from a previous marriage like to call each other profane names. Neither one seems to have a problem with it, and argue that they call their buddies these kinds of names. I am personally offended by profanities and find it disturbing that such language would be used among family members, let alone in front of others. Am I the only one who thinks this is unhealthy behavior? — OFFENDED STEPMOM IN WASHINGTON STATE DEAR OFFENDED: Probably not. However, if neither your husband nor his son is offended, perhaps you should loosen up and be less judgmental. More important than what your husband and stepson call each other is the meaning behind the words. And more off-putting than the terms of “endearment” they’re using with each other may be your well-intentioned efforts to censor them.

Pigeon droppings halt Kings of Leon concert

Iowa teen known as ‘Deer Magnet’ after hitting 5

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Heavy storms and scorching temperatures have failed to deter rock bands from performing at an outdoor stadium in St. Louis, but a bombardment of pigeon droppings proved too much for the Kings of Leon. The band halted the Friday night concert at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre after three songs when the infestation of birds in the arena’s rafters dropped their onslaught of feces. A statement from the band’s management company, Vector Management, said bassist Jared Followill seemed to be a particular target of the pigeons, whose droppings were a potential health hazard. “I’m surprised they stayed on for as many songs as they did,” Andy Mendelsohn of Vector Management said in the statement. “Jared was hit several times during the first two songs. On the third song, when he was hit in the cheek and some of it landed near his mouth, they couldn’t take it any longer. “It’s not only disgusting — it’s a toxic health hazard,” Mendelsohn said. “They really tried to hang in there. We want to apologize to our fans in St. Louis and will be back as soon as we can.” The crowd grew restless after the band walked off, then an announcement was made that the show was over for “safety reasons.” The concert promoter, Live Nation, did not respond to interview requests on Monday but said fans will get a full refund. Mendelsohn said band representatives had been warned of a “significant” pigeon infestation in the rafters, but were told efforts were being made to correct the problem. The opening bands, The Postelles and The Stills, performed and were apparently hit with their share of droppings too.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A central Iowa teen has earned the nickname “The Deer Magnet” after hitting five deer in the past year. Seventeen-year-old Kacee Larson of Conrad says her string of bad luck began last July when she was driving home from her job at an ice cream shop. She saw the deer an instant before hitting it. Larson’s second collision happened a few months later, while she was driving to church on a Sunday morning. The streak continued. After Larson hit her fourth deer, her pastor’s wife advised her to start praying before she got into a vehicle. Larson says was doing just that Friday when she hit her fifth deer. The crash totaled her minivan, and the air bag left bruises on her arms. Larson says she can’t help asking: “Why me?”

Fake shark devours surfer in latest statue prank CARDIFF-BY-THE-SEA, Calif. (AP) — A bronze surfer statue near San Diego has been the target of many gags, but never one this big and scary. Unknown predawn pranksters on Saturday surrounded the roadside statue in Cardiff-bythe-Sea with a papier mache model of a great white shark that appeared to be swallowing it whole. Crowds of gawkers and photographers gathered around the 16-foot creation after the sun rose. San Diego County sheriff’s Lt. Tony Ray said no criminal report was filed because there was no damage to the statue.

Jesus did the greatest deed possible Q: What makes Jesus different from any other great man who ever lived? In my opinion, you could even say He was a failure because He never did anything important while He was on earth, did He? -- J.S. A: Jesus never commanded massive armies or founded major universities or accumulated great wealth while He was on earth -- yet 2,000 years later millions upon millions of people build their lives on His teaching and look to Him for their eternal salvation. And across the world countless hospitals and orphanages and schools have been built in His name. No, Jesus wasn’t a failure! But what made Him different from anyone else who ever lived? He was unique for one reason: He wasn’t only a man, but He was also God. This staggers our imagination, but Jesus Christ was God in human flesh -- fully man, and yet also fully God. As the Bible says, “He is the image of the invisible God.... For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him” (Colossians 1:15,19). And that helps answer your second question: What did Jesus actually accomplish? During His days on earth Jesus performed the greatest deed anyone could ever accomplish: He broke down the barriers between us and God. Our greatest need was to be reconciled to God -- but how could that happen, since we were separated from God because of our sins? It was only possible if God acted to save us -- and that is what He did when Jesus Christ died on the cross for us.
