STATE TAX HOLIDAY GOOD FOR STORES, BAD FOR STATE
By ALEXA MILAN
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Sunday that last year’s tax holiday cost the state an estimated $12.3 million — money that this year could help fill an $800 million budget deficit
SANFORD — Park Ranger Steve Godfrey used to open each drain valve at San-Lee Park every time it rained. When Hurricane Fran hit in 1996, water spilled over the top of the dam wall even though the drains were open. But the park’s struggles with the dam are about to come to an end now that major renovations

are underway. The new design will place a weir box in the park’s lower pond, creating extra space for water to flow through. The water will then filter through the renovated spillway, which should now be able to sustain 100- to 300-year flood events. The new system will increase the dam’s capacity and flow rate and will keep the lake at a constant level. “It’s been there since 1927,
and it just wore out,” Godfrey said. “With this new system, there will be a whole lot less worry and it will be a lot safer.” The dam creates two ponds used for fishing and boating at San-Lee Park. Fishing and boating are still available while the dam is constructed but are limited to the upper pond. Between the damage from Hurricane Fran

Today is Tuesday, Aug. 3, the 215th day of 2010. There are 150 days left in the year. This day in history: On Aug. 3, 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail from Palos, Spain, on a voyage that took him to the present-day Americas. In 1914, Germany declared war on France at the onset of World War I. In 1923, Calvin Coolidge was sworn in as the 30th president of the United States following the death of Warren G. Harding. In 1943, Gen. George S. Patton slapped a private at an army hospital in Sicily, accusing him of cowardice. (Patton was later ordered by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to apologize for this and a second, similar episode.) In 1949, the National Basketball Association was formed as a merger of the Basketball Association of America and the National Basketball League. In 1958, the nuclear-powered submarine USS Nautilus became the first vessel to cross the North Pole underwater. In 1980, closing ceremonies were held in Moscow for the Summer Olympic Games, which had been boycotted by dozens of countries, including the United States. In 1981, U.S. air traffic controllers went on strike, despite a warning from President Ronald Reagan they would be fired, which they were. In 1994, Arkansas carried out the nation’s first triple execution in 32 years. Stephen G. Breyer was sworn in as the Supreme Court’s newest justice in a private ceremony at Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist’s Vermont summer home.

Car fire on U.S. 421 deemed ‘odd’
Golf development remains on hold
SANFORD — Lee County deputies are looking into a “suspicious� car burning northwest of Sanford Saturday. Investigators say a West Jefferson man reported his car had broken down Friday on U.S. 421 near the Chatham and Lee County line. Deputies said the car was found burned more than a mile away on Cumnock Road in Chatham County Saturday. “There were a lot of odd things about it,� said Capt. Jeff Johnson of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. Johnson said the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles verified that the car belonged to a Paul Geitz of West Jefferson. Reached Monday, Geitz said he had been traveling to Moore County with his wife in a separate vehicle when his 2007 Saturn Ion broke down. Geitz said he couldn’t find the car when he returned the next day, learning later that a burned vehicle had been reported to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. “I don’t know what happened,� Geitz said. “I just know I’m out of a fricking car.� Geitz said deputies interrogated him, questioning whether he set the car on fire and abandoned it, but Geitz denied that he had any part in it. Johnson said investigators are determining how the fire started in the vehicle and how it ended up more than a mile away from where Geitz said he left it this weekend. Johnson said charges could be forthcoming in the incident. — Billy Ball

Community events set for tonight By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com
WEST END (MCT) — A $100 million golf course development near West End remains on hold as the developer and Moore County officials work out the water source for the proposed 600-home community. In February, county commissioners postponed a public hearing on whether to rezone 1,650 acres for the luxury golf community until the developer, MHK Ventures, comes to an agreement with the county. The community plans to use recycled wastewater to irrigate the two championship golf courses and lawns for the homes. However, the county does not have the capacity to supply drinking water to the development, said Dennis Brobst, Moore County’s utilities director. The developer and county officials are looking at three options: purchasing water from Montgomery County, re-starting production at the Robbins treatment plant and running a line to the development, or extending the water line that runs up N.C. 73, Brobst said. The latter is the least attractive option to the county because it increases demand on the system without adding additional water, Brobst said. Officials are trying to prepare for the maximum projected water usage, which is 500,000 gallons per day — a peak that would come over the next 30 years, he said.
SANFORD — The fight against crime takes to Sanford streets again this week. Locals are planning a full slate of activities for annual National Night Out festivities today, in which police and residents typically gather in numerous cookouts, vigils, marches and socials in the afternoon and evening hours as a show of force against crime. The Lee County Sheriff’s Office and the Sanford Police Department are both taking part in National Night Out activities, speaking and mingling with locals in an effort they say brings law enforcement closer to the community. The solidarity is key when it allows residents to trust officers and reach out when they believe trouble is brewing, police say. “It’s a great opportunity,� said Sanford Police Department Chief Ronnie Yarborough. “It’s worked so well for so many years.� Law enforcement officers will be at each National Night Out site today, and police will roll out mobile precinct units for public viewing. Yarborough and Lee County Sheriff Tracy Carter have both touted “community policing� as a major tool for cutting crime. State officials have reported lowered crime rates in Sanford and all of Lee County in recent years. Yarborough said his office has dedicated “a lot of time and effort� in community outreach efforts in the last two decades, establishing teams that focus full-time on outreach efforts. “We can’t do it all,� he said. “They can play a big part in what’s going on in their communities, let us know what they’re seeing.�

opment by creating jobs and generating revenue,� and it does so by guiding large businesses or single entrepreneurs through the complicated process of becoming a defense contractor. “If you have a widget, and the Army is searching for that widget, and you have no defense contractor experience, it’s difficult to get in the door,� Mitchell said. “That’s where we come in ... our organization is one of the best-kept secrets in the state.� Their services are far from free, and PDI does take a single-digit per-

The organization’s Defense Security and Technology Accelerator can offer entrepreneurs fully furnished office facilities, one-on-one coaching and mentoring, grand funding, commercialization assistance and more. And the ideas, Mitchell said, can range from the brainchild of large, developed industries to those of a single innovator working from his or her garage. “We don’t discriminate,� he said. “If you have the best idea in the world, we’re interested.

It was almost impossible to sit, stand, walk or even breathe! After examining my x-rays, we started treatment. After a mild adjustment on my neck, by that afternoon, I could see improvement.

Enjoy a night out with friends tonight “National Night Out has proven to be an effective, inexpensive and enjoyable program to promote neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships in our fight for a safer nation.” That’s how the National Night Out website begins in its promotion of this year’s event that is being held this evening in areas across our United States. Here, in Sanford and Lee County, the program has grown by leaps and bounds thanks to the promotion by both city and county officials. The Sanford Police Department lists at least 37 various locations while the Lee County Sheriff’s Department has at least 15 various locations. These locations are detailed on
Page 3A. There is a very good reason to participate in one of the National Night Out events should one of them take place in your area of residence. It’s a grand opportunity to have a good time while getting to better know your neighbors and friends. It’s important to know your neighbors, to better be aware of those who live in your area so that they will not seem like strangers to the community. And, it’s better to get to know them in good times rather at the time of an emergency. But, the reasoning goes beyond a simple meet and greet of neighbors. It’s an opportunity to meet and get to know members of the
law enforcement community —as well as other officials — and express your thoughts and concerns. Give them the opportunity to meet you and your family. Again, it’s better to get to know these officials during a fun time rather than during an emergency situation. It’s unfortunate, but we live in a time when people are living with busy schedules that oftentimes prevent them from getting to know neighbors. Those who live next door may well be strangers. In these days it’s as important as ever to know your neighbors. It’s important for us, in each neighborhood, to keep an eye out for one another. If we see
something that doesn’t look right, it’s important than we stay in touch with law enforcement to let them know that danger may be lurking within our neighborhoods. National Night Out continues to get better each year. It’s good for fun and fellowship. It’s good to get to know our neighbors. It’s good to get to know our law enforcement and our public officials. And it’s good to talk about common concerns that are beneficial for each neighborhood. If you’re in one of the neighborhoods that’s observing National Night Out tonight, make sure to take part in one of the most worthwhile programs to occur in our community each year.

Polarized voters
R
ALEIGH — “The fact is that in too many districts today, people’s vote really probably won’t make a difference.” Those comments, made in 2006, came from then-U.S. Sen. Barack Obama. Obama was discussing congressional and legislative redistricting, the redrawing of electoral district lines that comes every 10 years following a new U.S. census. At the time, he cited the efforts of a Republican, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, to reform the redistricting process in his state. Schwarzenegger was ultimately successful. When elections are held in 2012 in California, an independent redistricting commission — and not state legislators — will have drawn the lines. California will have joined about a dozen other states that no longer allow legislators to determine their own districts and legislative majorities to gerrymander their way into keeping their majorities. Presumably, their congressional and legislative districts will no longer look like the bug splatter on windshields that many districts in North Carolina resemble. For North Carolina, the chance to avoid another decade of bug splatterlike districts has probably passed. Legislators and legislative candidates are gearing up for all-important decadeending election that will determine who wins the right to draw the lines likely to stand for the next 10 years. If you believe the current system doesn’t undermine the democratic process, consider this: Right now in Washington, Democratic and Republican operatives are raising money and studying maps for the sole purpose of influencing how districts are drawn in the individual states. Some creature of Washington may have more influence in who you vote for in 2012 than anyone from North Carolina. With today’s technology and computer-assisted map making, these folks know about you and your neighbors’ voting habits — based on your postal zip code — and exactly how to create safe districts to ensure an incumbent’s re-election. Candidates choosing their voters is bad enough. A growing amount of academic research suggests this high-tech electoral gerrymandering contributes greatly to political polarization. Piling liberals into one district and conservatives into another to create safe districts means elections are decided in primaries. Primary voters, on the whole, are typically more extreme than general election voters. The result: more extreme candidates are elected; moderate voters have less voice. Some researchers say the polarization doesn’t stop there. With fewer moderates elected, political debate becomes more extreme. Moderate voters choose sides and become more radicalized by the process.
Meaning of Olive Street
W
ASHINGTON — We’ve heard much these past few years about “small town values,” most recently iterated and personified by Sarah Palin. When politicians speak of small town values, we know what they mean. Generally, they are invoking family, faith and flag — coincidentally the subtitle of Palin’s next book, “America By Heart.” In the politician’s world, small towns are where “real Americans” live, Kathleen Parker as opposed to all those other people — the Columnist vast majority of Americans — who live in Kathleen Parker is a columnist with the urban areas.

Letters to the Editor An organization that has helped so many now needs our help To the Editor: For several years, the Christians United Outreach Center in Sanford has come to the rescue of families in Lee County who have experienced financial nightmares. Recently, with so many of our people out of work, it’s the CUOC that has put a lot of food on the tables of struggling families. In March alone, CUOC provided 900 households — 3,416 people — with 50,175 pounds of food. Now, CUOC needs us. It’s 102 degrees on the day I write this. The air conditioning in their building needs some repairs and they expect the cost to be approximately $24,000. They have asked local government for some assistance (which was turned down last week). The people of Lee County are a generous lot. By supporting CUOC with their regular donations of money, food and volunteer hours, and by supporting other churches and organizations in the area, we see the generosity. But now, CUOC needs some extra help. If every person in the county gave just one dollar, they would have more than enough to repair the air conditioner. If every church and civic organization in the county took up a love offering for CUOC, they’d have it. We all know someone who is out of work or struggling. Many of us know people who have benefited from CUOC. If you have a job or haven’t required CUOC’s help, then you are especially blessed. Please consider helping this organization that has helped so many of our families. Donations can be mailed to: CUOC PO Box 2217, Sanford, N.C. 27331. There are other organizations in Sanford who provide assistance to families in crisis. We don’t want to forget to mention how blessed we are to have each one who offers help to those in need. But right now, It’s CUOC that needs us. Let’s give them a hand. BARBARA CAVALLUZZI Sanford
Where does government have the right to force me to buy something? To the Editor: (Re: Letter by Randall Yow — “Letter writer’s defense of commissioner doesn’t consider N.C. bylaw” published July 27) In the spirit of constitutions (state and federal), read the U.S. Constitution and please tell me where the government, specifically your president and party, have a right to tell me that just to be a citizen, I must buy something. Please tell me where the redistribution of my wealth is an appropriate action. And while you’re reading the Constitution, which is full of references to our Creator-given rights and tells us what the government cannot do its citizens — don’t forget the other document, the Declaration of Independence. Take a good hard long look — it’s not talking about a fairy tale. It explicitly references the atrocities of a tyrannical government — King George’s. Strangely enough, there are quite a few similarities of the one being established in Washington today — 234 years later. When you can defend that without personally attacking and attempting to destroy lives just because someone disagrees with you, as your party is notorious for doing, then I’ll entertain your argument. Until then ... happy reading. SHEILA BARBER Sanford

ago, and talk of renovating the dam dates back to the 1970s. But funding was always an issue, with just enough money to patch it up and try to get by. “They did the best they could with the money they had, but right now if we got another heavy rain and it wasn’t being fixed, we probably wouldn’t have a nature center anymore,� Godfrey said. The county started working with the state to bring the dam up to standards in 1997 following Hurricane Fran. The department received a small grant to repair it and began conducting a study to find out how much water was actually filtering through it. “After the study, dam safety determined that the dam was undersized and we needed to do something different,� said John Payne, director of Lee County Parks and Recreation.

necessary repairs to be made and allocated $1.4 million from cash reserves to finance the renovations. The county hired McKim and Creed engineers to design the new system, and in March 2010 received approval to begin construction. Godfrey said after working at San-Lee Park for 26 years, he is thrilled to see the repairs take shape. “This is the only group of people that took it upon themselves to get it fixed,� Godfrey said. “They said, ‘We need to fix this thing and get it right.’ Especially with animals down in our nature center and kids visiting, you don’t need that danger.� At this point in the process, Elvin Conley, superintendent of the construction project, said he estimates the repairs are about 45 percent complete and the project should be finished by midOctober to early November. Overall the project has run smoothly, but Conley
said hammering out all of the solid rock beneath the dam has proved challenging. “Some of that rock is very hard, and in some cases the weir box itself has rock anchors that need to go down 17 feet, so that can be a slow process,� Payne said. In addition to the dam, San-Lee Park features camping, boating, fishing, mountain biking trails, hiking trails, a nature center and a wildlife rescue center. Lee County Manger John Crumpton said the park is a great resource for people in the community, and the county wanted to ensure that visitors could enjoy it safely. “It feels good to know we can finally put (the renovations) behind us and preserve the park,� Crumpton said. “It’s really an asset for the county.� Godfrey said next the park will replace the current boat dock, which was built in 1991, with a new one. And in addition to repairing the dam, the construction team will dredge around the edges of the lake, making it about 15 feet deeper. Godfrey said the dredging will increase the capacity of the lake and improve fishing and boating activities. “It’s been a long time coming,� Godfrey said. “And I’m so thankful that it is coming.�

Tax holiday costly for state, but retailers love it
RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina will lose millions in revenue next weekend when it suspends the sales tax on certain items for back-to-school goods, but retailers say the event is like Christmas in August. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Sunday that last year’s tax holiday cost the state an estimated $12.3 million — money that this year could help fill an $800 million budget deficit. Rep. Pryor Gibson, D-Wadesboro and House finance committee co-chairman, said House budgetwriters discussed ending the holiday. “Yes, it was discussed and it was discussed very honestly, but it was a relatively brief discussion,� Gibson said. “A lot of the de-
bates we have over cuts or anything like that get strung out. But ... there was pretty strong unanimity that if you’re going to provide tax relief for families, this was as good a place as you could get.� And the state is not the only government giving up revenues, county governments, most of which charge 2 percent on top of the state sales tax, also give up their collections for the weekend. Central North Carolina county officials didn’t have estimates of how much money they lose each August. But Durham County officials said revenues dip as much as 20 percent in August compared with July. “It’s not something we’ve quantified,� said Pam
Meyer, director of budget and management services for Durham County. “Since there’s been a sales tax holiday the past several years, we are simply used to it happening each year.� North Carolina’s 100 counties could see $5 million in fewer collections based on a statewide estimated loss of $15 million. Those revenue estimates, though, assume sales of about $260 million for the weekend and that is music to retailers’ ears. Raleigh mall manager Pat Anderson says shopping traffic increases more than
20 percent at the Streets at Southpoint during the tax holiday compared with other summer weekends. Some retailers offer discounts for the whole week that cuts prices about the same amount as shoppers would save in taxes. At the New Balance stores in Durham and Raleigh, the tax holiday is so popular that stores stopped having a fall anniversary sale to focus all of those resources on back-to-school. “This is our Christmas,� said owner Mark Allard. “We do essentially about a month’s worth of business

Perdue to sign ethics reform bill
RALEIGH (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue boasted Monday that she and legislators beefed up state laws to improve public trust in state government, hoping to counter perceptions that Democrats were beset by scandal. Legislation Perdue signed into law Monday was the latest response to a series of corruption and campaign finance investigations over the past decade that have rocked the Democrats who control state government. An earlier spate of scandals produced dramatic ethics and lobbying changes in 2006. “The folks in this state have every right to expect and deserve integrity and honest services from their public servants,” Perdue said. Perdue also signed a second measure reacting
to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that threatened to overturn a state ban on corporate election spending. The government ethics legislation toughens penalties for illegal campaign donations above $10,000 and expands personnel information that must be released to the public about state employees. Members of state boards and commissions must account for campaign fundraising activities conducted for the elected officials who appointed them. “If you’ve got the good of the public at heart, then there is no place in this enterprise for personal gain,” Perdue said. The law does not contain a requirement that state vendors be limited in donating to the political campaign of someone
seeking a high state office with contract-awarding authority. Instead, the Legislature’s ethics commission will study the issue of reducing the perception of “pay-to-play” politics. Good-government advocates labeled the decision to study the issue as a setback. The bill doesn’t go as far as media groups wanted on requiring government agencies to provide more information about the work history of public employees, including the letter explaining why a worker was fired. The public and media have been able to receive only a snapshot of a person’s employment, with limited information that makes it difficult to learn about misconduct by workers. The new law gives the public access to a
state employee’s salary and employment histories, Perdue said. It only makes sense that if that information was available to the public at one time, it should stay that way, she said. Perdue also signed legislation moving to respond to the Supreme Court’s January election finance decision in the Citizens United case. The ruling struck down a federal law prohibiting corporations from spending as they wished on behalf of political candidates. The decision threatened similar spending restrictions in about half the states. North Carolina now will require corporations that back a candidate in TV or radio ads to have the chief executive say the name of the company.
CHARLOTTE
Courthouse has day care, Web for jurors
CHARLOTTE (AP) — It’s not quite like home, but Mecklenburg County court officers have made jury duty less of a chore for thousands called in from their daily routines. The juror assembly room in the downtown Charlotte courthouse has free wireless Internet, a business center to catch up on work, a day care center and even a place where mothers can pump breast milk, The Charlotte Observer reported Monday. There’s a 90-minute lunch break and two
movies are offered. The courthouse provides free popcorn. Court officials recognize most people don’t look forward to jury duty, so the amenities and services aim to make performing the public obligation more pleasant, outreach administrator Charles Keller said. Of course, there’s another incentive to performing your civic duty: Those who don’t show up may have to explain their absence to a judge. The efforts seem to make a difference. The benchmark-set-
ting National Center for State Courts says fewer than 5 percent of jurors should be no-shows. In Mecklenburg County, 4 percent of those called from motor vehicle and voter registration records never show up. “We’re doing a pretty good job of making sure people show up,” Keller said. Mecklenburg County calls as many as 8,000 people a month for jury duty. Only about 6,000 have actually sat on a jury this year. The rest either were not selected for a trial or were disquali-
fied in court by defense attorneys or prosecutors. The Charlotte-area courts also try to thank those who serve. Last week, the county’s judicial district held a juror appreciation week that offered discounts for jurors at restaurants near the courthouse, a jazz ensemble and a celebrity speaker. The district has made the effort to thank jurors every year for the last decade “to applaud the jurors who support the justice system,” a news release said.
Chimp born at N.C. Zoo; first of species in 12 years
Grandparents of slain girl wanted custody
ASHEBORO (AP) — A female chimpanzee has been born at the North Carolina Zoo, the first of its species born there in 12 years. A statement from the zoo said the yet-to-be-named infant was delivered around 7:30 a.m. on Monday. The mother is Maki, a 16-yearold female who was born at the N.C. Zoo. The father is Sokoto, a nine-year-old male who came to Asheboro in 2007 from the Miami Metro Zoo. Both mother and infant were in good condition Monday afternoon and officials expect them to be on exhibit when the zoo opens on Tuesday. The birth brings the number of chimps in the N.C. Zoo to 13 and remains the largest chimp troop in U.S. zoos.
YOUNGSVILLE (AP) — The paternal grandparents of a North Carolina girl who authorities say died after severe abuse say they had considered seeking custody of the 4-year-old but said state law made it very difficult. WRAL-TV reported that Gerald and Sarah Skiba of Youngsville say they decided against hiring an attorney in an attempt to get temporary custody. Their granddaughter was Teghan Skiba, who died July 19 at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill. Her mother’s boyfriend, 21-year-old Jonathan Douglas Richardson, is charged with first-degree murder in her death. Her mother, Helen Reyes, is charged with negligent child abuse. The Skibas say Teghan’s father is facing drug charges and that Reyes had cut off communication with them. Reyes is out of jail on bond while Richardson remains jailed on a $1 million bond.
Train ridership up thanks to new train RALEIGH (AP) — The addition of a midday train between North Carolina’s two largest cities has increased ridership on the state-sponsored passenger rail service. The state Department of Transportation announced on Monday that the Piedmont midday service between Raleigh and Charlotte helped increase ridership by nearly 200 percent over last June from 5,258 to 15,426. The new train service began on June 5. It builds upon the existing Piedmont service, which runs morning and evening trains between the cities. The new service is expected to attract 43,000 new passengers in its first year. For the period from last October through June 2010, Piedmont ridership is up 26 percent over the same period one year ago.
Marines return from Horn of Africa CHERRY POINT (AP) — Marines from a Cherry Point helicopter squadron have returned to North Carolina after a six-month deployment to the Horn of Africa. About 50 Marines from Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 366 returned Monday to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. About 70 Marines and four CH-53D helicopters had deployed to Africa. The squadron’s remaining Marines are scheduled to return later this week. The Marines acted as a contingency force in case evacuation missions were needed in the region. They trained with American and foreign militaries.

GULF OIL SPILL
NATION BRIEFS
Seafood declared safe; fishermen unsure
VENICE, La. (AP) — Seafood from some parts of the oil-fouled Gulf of Mexico has been declared safe to eat by the government, based in part on human smell tests. But even some Gulf fishermen are questioning whether the fish and shrimp are OK to feed to their own families. Some are turning up their noses at the smell tests — in which inspectors sniff seafood for chemical odors — and are demanding more thorough testing to reassure the buying public about the effects of the oil and the dispersants used to fight the slick. “If I put fish in a barrel of water and poured oil and Dove detergent over that, and mixed it up, would you eat that fish?” asked Rusty Graybill, an oysterman and shrimp and crab fisherman from Louisiana’s St. Bernard Parish. “I wouldn’t feed it to you or my family. I’m afraid someone’s going to get sick.” Now that a temporary cap has kept oil from spewing out of BP’s blown-out well for more than two weeks, state-controlled fishing areas in Louisiana, Florida and Mississippi have slowly begun to reopen. Despite splotches of chocolate-colored crude that wash up almost daily on protective boom and in marshes east of the Mississippi River, Louisiana

Capt. Rusty Graybill, a shrimp, crab and oyster fisherman poses on his boat in Yscloskey, La., Friday. has reopened those waters to fishing for such finfish varieties as redfish, mullet and speckled trout, and will allow shrimping when the season begins in two weeks. Oysters and blue crabs, which retain contaminants longer, are still off-limits. Smell tests on dozens of specimens from the area revealed barely detectable traces of toxic substances, the Food and Drug Administration said. The state of Louisiana has also been testing fish tissue for oil since May and has not found it in amounts considered unsafe. In Mississippi on Monday, FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg said the government is “confident all appropriate steps have been taken to ensure that seafood harvested from the waters being opened today is safe and that Gulf seafood
lovers everywhere can be confident eating and enjoying the fish and shrimp that will be coming out of this area.” Similarly, BP chief operating officer Doug Suttles said Sunday that authorities “wouldn’t open these waters ... if it wasn’t safe to eat the fish.” He said he would eat Gulf seafood and “serve it to my family.” Experts say smell tests may sound silly but are a proven technique that saves time and money. Moreover, they are the only way to check fish for chemical dispersants, though FDA spokeswoman Meghan Scott said government scientists are developing a tissue test. It is not clear when it will be ready. Federal scientists say that unlike mercury, which accumulates in some fish,
the most common cancercausing compounds in oil are quickly metabolized and eliminated in the bodies of finfish and some crustaceans. The FDA has declined repeated requests to provide information about the toxic substances that were found, but the agency is mostly looking for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs, which have been linked to cancer. The compound is found in many foods, such as corn oil, kale and smoked meats. Scientists studying the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska found that the villagers’ own smoked fish contained levels of the contaminant hundreds of times higher than those found in the shellfish tainted by the oil spill. As for the dispersants, the Environmental Protection Agency said the ones used in the Gulf have low toxicity in humans, meaning the public health risk is low. Ralph Portier, an aquatic toxicologist at Louisiana State University, said that all the data and testing he has reviewed so far show that seafood caught in the recently reopened areas of the Gulf is safe, and he would feel comfortable eating it. President Barack Obama ate Gulf seafood when he visited Mississippi a few weeks ago.

House announces charges against Rep. Waters WASHINGTON (AP) — A House panel announced Monday that Rep. Maxine Waters has been charged with violating ethics rules, setting the stage for a second election-season trial for a longtime Democratic lawmaker and adding to the party’s political woes. The charges against Waters, a 10-term California congresswoman, focus on whether she broke the rules in requesting federal help for a bank where her husband was a board member and owned stock. She immediately denied the charges. The House ethics committee’s announcement comes just days after it outlined 13 charges against Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., including failing to disclose assets and income, delayed payment of federal taxes and improper use of a subsidized New York apartment for his campaign office.

Richmond. Since then, he is believed to have robbed banks all over the eastern and central U.S. While it’s not clear if the robber is actually a grandfather, agents said the name was devised to help law enforcement and the public easily identify the suspect. The “Granddad Bandit” is described as a 45-to-60-yearold white man, about 6 feet tall and 230 pounds, balding with short grayish hair on the sides. He usually wears wire-rimmed glasses, shortsleeved collared shirts and ball caps.
New ID theft scam targets kids’ Social Security numbers KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The latest form of identity theft doesn’t depend on stealing your Social Security number. Now thieves are targeting your kid’s number long before the little one even has a bank account. Hundreds of online businesses are using computers to find dormant Social Security numbers — usually those assigned to children who don’t use them — then selling those numbers under another name to help people establish phony credit and run up huge debts they will never pay off. Authorities say the scheme could pose a new threat to the nation’s credit system. Because the numbers exist in a legal gray area, federal investigators have not figured out a way to prosecute the people involved. The sellers get around the law by not referring to Social Security numbers. Instead, just as someone might pay for an escort service instead of a prostitute, they refer to CPNs — for credit profile, credit protection or credit privacy numbers.
BP now says role of expensive relief wells unclear NEW ORLEANS (AP) — After insisting for months that a pair of costly relief wells were the only surefire way to kill the oil leak at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, BP officials said Monday they may be able to do it just with lines running from a ship to the busted well a mile below. As crews planned testing late Monday to determine whether to proceed with a “static kill” to pump mud and perhaps cement down the throat of the well, BP Senior Vice President Kent Wells said if it’s successful the relief wells may not be used, after all, to do the same weeks later from the bottom. The primary relief well and a backup, not fartype:italic; from completion, might be used simply to ensure the leak is plugged, he said. Either way, Wells said, “We want to end up with cement in the bottom of the hole.”

Obama salutes promised end of combat
ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nearing a milestone in the long and divisive Iraq war, President Barack Obama on Monday hailed this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planned withdrawal of all U.S. combat troops â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;as promised and on scheduleâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as a major success despite deep doubts about the Iraqisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to police and govern their country. Portraying the end of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combat role in the 7-year war as a personal promise kept, Obama said Iraq will have 90,000 fewer U.S. troops by September than when he took office â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a steady homeward flow he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a season of homecomings.â&#x20AC;? But there could still be more fighting involving U.S. forces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hard truth is we have not seen the end of American sacrifice in Iraq,â&#x20AC;? the president said in a speech to the national convention of the Disabled American Veterans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But make no mistake, our commitment in Iraq is changing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from a military effort led by our troops to a civilian effort led by our diplomats.â&#x20AC;? A transitional force of 50,000 troops will remain, down from the peak of 170,000 in 2007. Their mission will be to train and advise Iraqi security forces, protect U.S. civilians, manage the chain of supplies and equipment out of Iraq and conduct counterterrorism operations. Those soldiers and Marines will remain in harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way and will be likely to engage at times in some form of fighting. Iraqi commanders will

President Barack Obama speaks about Iraq and Afghanistan Monday at the Disabled American Veterans national convention in Atlanta. be able to ask the U.S. for front-line help. All American troops are to leave Iraq by the end of next year, as mandated under an agreement negotiated before Obama took office, between the Iraqis and President George W. Bush. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech Monday was the first of many, with appearances planned throughout the month by the president, Vice President Joe Biden and other administration officials. The schedule reflects a White House eager, with pivotal congressional elections approaching, for achievements to tout, especially in areas with the emotional significance of the Iraq war. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign pledge to oversee a speedy conclusion to the U.S. fighting was the promise that most defined his presidential campaign, and it brought him significant support. Actually, while running for the White House, he said he would remove one or two brigades a month
from Iraq to achieve an end to combat operations within 16 months of taking office. Instead, shortly after becoming president, Obama settled on a slower plan, to remove all combat troops within 19 months, and not at the pace of one brigade per month but on a more backloaded timetable. Those were concessions to the military that disappointed Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anti-war base of support. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebratory rhetoric on Monday brushed past some of the more grim realities in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Iraq. Leaders there remain at a political impasse that has prevented the formation of a new government for the nearly five months since parliamentary elections did not produce a clear winner. In a reminder of Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fragility, two bombings and a drive-by shooting killed eight people there Monday just hours before Obama spoke. With such attacks remaining a daily oc-
currence, especially in Baghdad, questions persist about the readiness of Iraqi security forces to take over for the Americans and hold back insurgents. Obama said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Violence in Iraq continues to be near the lowest itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in years,â&#x20AC;? but figures released by Iraqi authorities over the weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dismissed by the U.S. military as too high â&#x20AC;&#x201D; showed July to be the deadliest month for Iraqis in more than two years. Frustration over the political deadlock has come on top of widespread Iraqi anger over the government<s failure to improve basic services such as electricity and drinking water. With billions of dollars already spent to improve electricity since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, households in Baghdad continue to suffer lengthy power outages. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a particularly sore subject with Iraqis since the summer months routinely see 115-degree days and buying electricity from privately owned neighborhood generators is beyond the reach of many. Some longtime Iraq observers worry that the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sectarian divisions could widen in the months ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Much of the violence has occurred because there is no government, because nobody knows what the future is,â&#x20AC;? said Anthony Cordesman, a military analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies who has periodically advised top U.S. commanders in Baghdad.

Manufacturing lifts recovery with year of growth
High court trims Miranda warning rights bit by bit
WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rare bright spot in an otherwise troubled economy: The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manufacturing sector has now grown for a solid year, and more of its companies say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to hire. Chip maker Texas Instruments says its business has recovered to pre-recession levels. Intel, which makes semiconductors, posted its best quarterly profit in a decade. And chemical giant DuPont says its sales volume is up and recently raised its prices. The Institute for Supply Management said Monday its manufacturing index slipped in July, to 55.5 from 56.2 in June. But it was the 12th straight month of readings above 50, which indicates expansion. At the depths of the recession, the index was closer to 30.
WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You have the right to remain silent, but only if you tell the police that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re remaining silent. You have a right to a lawyer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; before, during and after questioning, even though the police donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to tell you exactly when the lawyer can be with you. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford a lawyer, one will be provided to you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you, which, by the way, are only good for the next two weeks? The Supreme Court made major revisions to the now familiar Miranda warnings this year. The rulings will change the ways police, lawyers and criminal suspects interact amid what experts call an attempt to pull back some of the rights that Americans have become used to over recent decades.
Fed chief sees long road back to economic health WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The nation faces a long road to get back to good economic health, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Monday. Bernanke said progress is being made after the deepest recession since the 1930s. The worst of the financial crisis is behind the nation and the economy is growing again, he pointed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we have a considerable way to go to achieve a full recovery in our economy, and many Americans are still grappling with unemployment, foreclosure and lost savings,â&#x20AC;? the Fed chief said in a speech to an annual meeting of Southern lawmakers in Charleston, S.C.
NY jury convicts 2 in JFK Airport fuel-tank plot NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two men were convicted Monday of plotting to blow up jet fuel tanks at John F. Kennedy International Airport, a plan that authorities said was meant to outdo the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and avenge perceived U.S. oppression of Muslims around the world. Russell Defreitas, a former JFK cargo handler, and Abdul Kadir, once a member of Guyanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parliament, were convicted of multiple conspiracy charges. Kadir was acquitted of one charge, surveillance of mass transportation. The Brooklyn federal court jury deliberated about five days. Defreitas, a 66-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen from Guyana, and Kadir, 58, were arrested in 2007.

JACK ROUSH UPGRADED TO FAIR CONDITION CONCORD (AP) — NASCAR team owner Jack Roush’s condition has been upgraded to fair as he recovers from last week’s plane crash in Wisconsin. The 68-year-old Roush is at the Mayo Clinic. His team said Monday he will remain at the Minnesota clinic indefinitely to treat facial injuries. Roush was attending the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis. The aviation buff also survived a crash in 2002. The longtime owner has been a fixture in NASCAR garages for decades. He received a boost Sunday when Roush-Fenway driver Greg Biffle won the Cup race at Pocono. Before taking the checkered flag, Biffle said, “This one’s for Jack.”
MLB BREWERS SIGN HART THROUGH 2013
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Corey Hart now has a long-term future with the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers announced Monday that they have signed the hot-hitting right fielder to a contract extension through the 2013 season, rewarding him for a turnaround season that included a trip to the All-Star Game. It was a somewhat surprising turn of events, given how often Hart was the subject of trade rumors in recent weeks. The Brewers listened to offers but nothing came together. And even before non-waiver trade deadline arrived, assistant general manager Gord Ash and agent Jeff Berry had been working on a deal. The 28-year-old Hart is batting .288 with 23 home runs and 72 RBIs in 92 games this season.
GOLF RYDER CUP PLAYERS GET PGA EXEMPTION
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — Ben Curtis and Boo Weekley are going to the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits despite falling from the top 100 in the world ranking. The PGA of America changed its criteria last year to require that members of the most recent Ryder Cup team stay within the top 100. Officials offered special invitations to Curtis, Weekley and others to fill its 156-man field.
MLB CARDINALS SIGN NATE ROBERTSON
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals have signed left-handed pitcher Nate Robertson to a minor league contract. The 32-year-old Robertson was released by Florida last month. He was 6-8 with a 5.47 ERA for the Marlins and his last start came on July 20.

Cavs, Jackets hit the practice field By ALEX PODLOGAR alexp@sanfordherald.com
SANFORD — They met. They talked. They stretched. They practiced. Officially. The dawn of the 2010 prep football season officially broke on Monday, as high school football teams around the state were allowed to practice together as a whole group for the first time this preseason. It was no different at area schools Southern Lee and Lee County. While the Cavaliers, under the direction of their third new coach in as many seasons, hit the practice field together for the first time at 9:20 a.m., the Yellow Jackets, in their second season under legendary coach Burton Cates, began their official preseason with an evening full-team workout. “It was the first day,” said Southern Lee’s newest

Wilson back to focusing on football RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina State quarterback Russell Wilson spent the summer learning how to hit with a wooden bat and studying his football playbook. After spending the spring with the Wolfpack baseball team and the summer as a professional in the Colorado Rockies organization, Wilson is back in Raleigh and preparing to step back under center for N.C. State when preseason camp opens Tuesday.
In his first season as a professional baseball player, Wilson hit leadoff and played second base for 32 games with the Northwest League’s Tri-City Dust Devils in Pasco, Wash. He spent long bus rides — seven hours from Pasco to Boise, Idaho, on one memorable trip — texting N.C. State coach Tom O’Brien and other Wolfpack teammates, or

CAROLINA PANTHERS
Edwards struggling with transition By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer
SPARTANBURG, S.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Training camp isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even a week old and Armanti Edwards is physically tired, mentally drained and a bit overwhelmed. Carolina coach John Fox has got on him about his conditioning. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still trying to remember all his receiver routes and where to line up. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looked awkward at times catching â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and muffing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; punts and kickoffs. Welcome to Edwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; world, as he transitions from star college quarterback at Appalachian State to rookie NFL receiver and return man with the Panthers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expected it to be rough,â&#x20AC;? Edwards said Monday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I thought it would be.â&#x20AC;? The Panthers have a lot riding on making this project work. Enthralled with the athletic and speedy yet undersized and slight college sensation, the Panthers traded next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-round pick to New England for an extra thirdround pick to take him 89th overall. General manager Marty Hurney immediately declared that Edwards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the only player in NCAA

Carolina Panthers receiver Armanti Edwards runs after a catch during practice at the NFL football teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training camp in Spartanburg, S.C., Sunday. Division I history to throw for over 10,000 yards and rush for more than 4,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a quarterback. Trouble is, the 5-foot-11, 182-pound Edwards hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played receiver since his junior year in high school. He never returned a punt or kickoff in his life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showed. While Edwards has displayed soft
9
hands, his route running needs work and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been with the third team at receiver. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also had trouble holding onto kickoffs and punts. So far Edwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience at QB â&#x20AC;&#x201D; engineering a monumental upset of Michigan and winning two Football Championship Subdivision national titles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t helping much.

:
to plan a meaningful tribute
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it would, but not really,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning a new position youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of more things youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to think about. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of things going through your head.â&#x20AC;? Throw in heavy legs and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become even more difficult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a lot more running (to do). I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting a little more used to that as we move forward,â&#x20AC;? Fox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got good hands and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got ability after the catch. I think
really if you ask him thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more running than at quarterback.â&#x20AC;? Translation: Edwards, who had no trouble outrunning people in college, needs to get fitter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be fast through your routes, then when you catch the ball youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to run after the routes,â&#x20AC;? Edwards said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to run and chase to get a block. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more running.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It surprised me how tired I was at first. I thought I was in shape until I got out here for the first practice.â&#x20AC;? The Panthers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t panicking and expected his development to take time. He could even be on the inactive list for games if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win the return job and remains buried on the depth chart at receiver behind Steve Smith, Kenny Moore, Dwayne Jarrett and Brandon LaFell. It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stopped Edwards from being one of the most watched players at camp. He grew up 45 minutes away from Wofford College in Greenwood, S.C., and Appalachian State is a couple hours away. Everybody wants to see the first player to win the Walter Payton Award twice as the top player in college footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lower tier play receiver. Many wonder if the Panthers will try to use Edwards in the wildcat formation. Not yet. He has enough to worry about already.

PGA TOUR
Is Applebyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 59 as magical?
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stuart Appleby understands the scrutiny that might come with shooting a 59 on a par-70 course. The Australian won the Greenbrier Classic on Sunday and became the fifth PGA Tour player to hit golfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magic number. His milestone came less than a month after Paul Goydos had a 59 at the John Deere Classic. Appleby was the first to reach 59 on a par-70 course; Goydosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; course was par 71. The three other 59s were on par 72s: Al Geiberger at the 1977 Memphis Classic, Chip Beck at the 1991 Las Vegas Invitational and David Duval at the 1999 Bob Hope Classic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll debate it with you. I agree,â&#x20AC;? Appleby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can see both sides of the fence. It is a number. I shot that number. But who says par is supposed to be 72? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of great courses that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t 72.â&#x20AC;? Golfers had raved about an Old White course that already yielded J.B. Holmesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 60 and D.A. Pointsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 61 on Saturday, and Jeff Overtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 62 on Friday. Appleby was Pointsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; playing partner in the third round. On Sunday, it was Applebyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and he could sense something different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt relaxed today,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I walked a bit slower than I normally do. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a pacey sort of person. Not in playing, the golf sense, but from an energy point of view. Today, I felt much more â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I slowed myself down and just, yeah, it was pretty comfortable.â&#x20AC;? The 59 broke the course record of 60 set by Sam Snead in 1950 and matched by Holmes. Appleby said

coach, Tom Paris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it went well. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased.â&#x20AC;? Southern Lee is coming off a second straight disastrous season. After winning just one game in 2008 under Bill Maczko, the Cavaliers struggled through a winless season under first-year head coach Eric Puryear, whose contract was not renewed in June. In steps Paris, who has head coaching experience to go along with years of experience as an assistant at some of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most storied programs. Paris has been with Southern Lee since he was hired in early June, running summer workouts. But this is different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very pleased with the numbers and the overall effort,â&#x20AC;? said Paris, who said 64 players were on the field the first day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a quality practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids got tired, and they were going to get tired. I made sure of that. On the first day, they faced some adversity, and I made sure they faced some adversity as a team.â&#x20AC;? At Lee County, where more than 60 players were out, Cates was clearly the field general everyone expects a coach with more than 230 career wins to be. He marched to and from

Stuart Appleby holds his ball which he signed with â&#x20AC;&#x153;59â&#x20AC;? on the 18th hole after he won the Greenbrier Classic golf tournament at the Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., Sunday. Snead should be given more credit because of the equipment used 60 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I would have to shoot a 56 to even compare to something like that, for sure,â&#x20AC;? Appleby said. Making just one bogey all week, Appleby birdied the final three holes, then watched third-round leader Overtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long birdie try on the par-3 18th slide just past the cup to give Appleby a one-stroke victory. Applebyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11-under round put him at 22 under. Overton, playing three groups behind Appleby, shot 67 to finish at 21 under. In remaining winless in five years on the Tour, Overton had 34 putts in the final round, three-putting three
the pods of players who were working out in position groups and presided over the 7-on-7 drills. At one point, focusing on the defensive side of the ball, Cates halted the drill and broke the play down for the players. Three hard whistles followed, with the defensive players running through a series of up-down calisthenics as penance for their mistakes. But there was plenty of building up as well. Plenty of clapping. Plenty of raised-voice assurance. And a lot of that came from the players as well, as the Jackets try to find their way back to the postseason after a three-win year in 2009.
times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played great, hit a lot of great shots,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win golf tournaments when you putt it that bad.â&#x20AC;? The news wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all sour for Overton. His third runner-up finish of the year moved him from 10th to fourth in the points table that will determine eight automatic spots for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. Ryder Cup team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tiger Woods fell from seventh to ninth. Appleby, who earned the $1.08 million winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s check, easily beat his previous career low of 62 in the 2003 Las Vegas Invitational. The end of a four-year winless drought came during Applebyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th straight week of tournament play.
Following the evening practice, Cates could not be reached for comment before presstime. For the first three days of practice, the workouts are limited to two hours. Players wear shirts, shorts and helmets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pads arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed until Thursday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and no body-to-body contact is allowed. By Monday, teams will be allowed to wear full pads if they choose and have two practices a day, though one of those practices cannot have contact. For the most part, the first few practices involve conditioning drills and some minor offensive and defensive schematic installation.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a great deal of conditioning involved, though we try to incorporate fundamentals as well,â&#x20AC;? said Paris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But there was a great deal of running today, and what I like to call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;extra movement.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? With less than three weeks before the first game of the season on Aug. 20 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Southern Lee opens at home with South Johnston while Lee County travels to Western Harnett â&#x20AC;&#x201D; time is of the essence. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of work to be done, and coaches are ready to put the players to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, we want the best part of practice for them to be the end,â&#x20AC;? Paris said, chuckling.

Little League expands replay for World Series SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Managers at this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Little League World Series will be able to challenge certain calls under a revised instant replay system. The 2-year-old system also will be expanded to include more plays, including force outs, tags on base paths, missed bases and hit batters. Reviews were previously limited to plays that should have resulted in a dead ball, but were called otherwise by the umpire, such as questionable home runs and other close plays at the outfield fence. Little League announced the latest guidelines Monday.
Umpires will still have the option to call for a replay, though managers will now be allowed to challenge calls or request a replay if umpires donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for one. Managers would be limited to one unsuccessful replay challenge in the first six innings, and one unsuccessful challenge in extra innings. A replay team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an umpire who is not on the field and a Little League official â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would review up to 12 camera angles provided by ESPN and decide whether to reverse the call. Umpires are volunteers and can officiate the World Series just once.

with teammates who called him â&#x20AC;&#x153;Willie.â&#x20AC;? He capped the summer Sunday night by proposing to his high school sweetheart, Ashton Meem, who accepted. Wilson wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t elaborate on what he has arranged with the Rockies about playing football, a sport that saw him become a freshman all-Atlantic Coast Conference passer two seasons ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is open,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not worried about that right now.â&#x20AC;? Wilson missed all of spring drills to play with N.C. Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baseball program, leaving talented reserve Mike Glennon to get all the snaps. Coach Tom Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien has said he wants to see Glennon push to win Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting job away from him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stakes arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any higher than any other day,â&#x20AC;? Wilson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every day you wake up, you have competition.â&#x20AC;?

sharpening his Spanish skills by chatting up his Hispanic teammates. Wilson, who hit .230 with 11 RBIs and two home runs, said his highlight was hitting homers on back-to-back nights out of Tri-Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge field he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a graveyard.â&#x20AC;? A fan retrieved the first home run ball and gave it back to him. The Colorado Rockies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who picked Wilson in the fourth round of the June draft â&#x20AC;&#x201D; told Wilson they thought he had â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of potential to be in the big leagues pretty soon, in terms of my physical ability and mental approach to game,â&#x20AC;?

DEAR ABBY
BRIDGE HAND
Performance on exams is true test of a student’s education
HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate
Happy Birthday: You are heading in the right direction but you mustn’t let emotional matters slow you down or confuse you. Look at the long term effects of whatever you pursue and you will not go wrong. An interest you had in the past will resurface upon visiting old friends, places and projects. There is much to be accomplished in a short time. Your numbers are 8, 11, 13, 26, 32, 38, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t hold back when you have so much to contribute. A professional or personal relationship will depend on what you have to say. Be honest about the way you see things unfolding and how you feel about your future. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Communication will make a difference to the outcome of a situation you are faced with. You are sitting in a better position than you realize, so share your opinions. Love is on the rise, so plan a fun-filled evening. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Before stepping into a position that may damage a relationship that you care about, get the approval you need to move forward without worry. Discussing your plans will help you avoid balancing too many responsibilities. CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s up to you to run the show. Love is in a high cycle and making a vow to take care of personal responsibilities will give you the leeway you need to bring about a positive financial change. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take on whatever responsibilities are required of you and do your best. Refrain from letting others change your game plan or affect your productivity. The less fuss you make, the further ahead you will be. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be proud of what
WORD JUMBLE
you have to offer and let everyone see what you doing and planning for the future. It’s having an overall handle on the possibilities that will make you a good leader. Step up and do what you do best. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t let the little upsets or setbacks cause you to dwell on the negative. Take a firm but understanding approach. Showing leadership ability will speak volumes about what you can do. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Share your thoughts with someone you are close to and you will have an ally in your corner. Change is apparent and dealing with new organizations or getting involved with a group geared to promotion and networking will help you present what you have to offer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can offer suggestions but don’t take on someone else’s burdens. Focus on what needs to be done at home in order to add to your assets and bring about favorable alterations to your personal life. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Changes at home will help your financial situation, allowing you the freedom to get more for your money. Don’t let what others do influence you or your decisions. Uncertainty must not cause you to drop your personal responsibilities. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make sure you do everything in your power to make your point clear. Do not give in to someone who speaks louder or uses manipulative means. Taking responsibility and avoiding temptation will set you apart from the crowd. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take a closer look at something you have worked on in the past and you will find a new way to present it. Partnering with someone with talent will help you attract groups, organizations or individuals to fill in any part of your plan that is lacking.
DEAR ABBY: I would like to comment on your May 29 reply to “Helping or Cheating?” the young lady who has been helping her boyfriend with his homework. I can see where someone might find this a problem. I retired a few years ago after 35 years as an educator and still substitute teach three to five days a week. I feel I can speak for many teachers on this matter: For years, teachers have used a method called “peer tutoring” in and out of the classroom. From the information given, what that girl is doing sounds like textbook tutoring. Personally, I feel it’s far better to have help and see a word spelled correctly, a sentence constructed properly or a math problem worked correctly, than to have the mistake reinforced. In most cases, homework is just for practice, and “Rory” should have ample opportunity in class to show the teacher what he can do on his own. — 35 YEARS AND COUNTING DEAR COUNTING: Thank you for your input as an educator. I tried to reach the young woman who wrote that letter so I could ask if her boyfriend’s test results had improved as a result of her efforts, but was unable to make contact. Frankly, I was surprised at the amount of mail her letter gener-
quotes, same structure, reworded sentences. The boyfriends were slacking off; their girlfriends were doing the work. I have talked about this with other professors; only one could cite a single exception to this rule. Thank you for telling that young woman to stop doing his homework and please, Abby, let your readers know the issue is systemic. — EX-PROF. IN IDAHO

ated from teachers, one of whom informed me that “most teachers don’t check homework for accuracy, just that the homework was completed.” Could this be part of what has gone wrong with our educational system -- that teachers have become so overwhelmed by the size of their classes that they can no longer give their students the individual attention they need? If so, how sad for all of us. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I used to teach at the university level. For 20 years I watched this happen. Never once was it the boyfriend “helping” the girlfriend. If we got two essays on the same topic, it was always the girlfriend who had written it, while the boyfriend who “studied with her” or “used it as a model” ended up handing in a distorted version of the same paper — same
DEAR ABBY: There is a very fine line between good tutoring, poor tutoring and cheating. The best indicator is how the young man does on his exams. If he has significantly improved on his ability to do the problems in a test situation, then I lean toward the idea that good tutoring was done and suggest the students continue the process. If there has been no improvement, he should go to the teacher for extra help. Math is an extremely difficult subject for many people. However, when a student gets F’s on his tests and after coming to me gets A’s and B’s from then on, I suspect some learning has occurred. The teacher should review the tests the boyfriend takes and either tell the sister to go fly a kite or change methods — depending on the scores. — TUTOR IN RENO, NEV.

Hail yes, it’s big: Colo lab gets record hailstone
Porn site airs at Indonesia’s parliament
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — North America’s heaviest hailstone ever might also be its most-traveled. A 1-pound, 15-ounce hailstone that fell in Vivian, S.D., on July 23 has been taken to the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., about 370 miles away. Charles Knight, a scientist at the center, plans to cast plaster replicas for researchers, a South Dakota museum and Leslie Scott, the ranch hand who found it. Knight says he’ll then cut it in two and photograph its internal rings. The hailstone is being stored in a freezer, but the lab isn’t taking any chances. A tweet announcing the hailstone’s arrival said, “Hey, keep that away from the margarita mix!” Federal climate officials have confirmed the hailstone is the heaviest ever recorded on the continent.
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesian lawmakers and journalists got a shock when an online porn video blazed across dozens of computer monitors outside the press room at Parliament. Witnesses say it took security guards 10 minutes to shut down the computers Monday. The touch-screen monitors are used by visitors to check the Parliament agenda and other political activities. House Secretary-General Nining Indra said the unwanted interruption was probably caused by someone trying to access a porn site on the computer system. She said officials would use close circuit TV footage to investigate. Indonesia is the world’s most populous Muslim nation. Authorities have been trying to crack down on porn ahead of the holy fasting month of Ramadan that starts next week.
Ohio Red Cross giving away new car, or Amish buggy CLEVELAND (AP) — To spur blood donations, an Ohio Red Cross chapter is offering people who give a pint of blood the chance to win a car or a horse-drawn buggy. Spokeswoman Christy Chapman in Cleveland says the Red Cross didn’t want to leave its many Amish donors out of the giveaway. The organization’s Northern Ohio blood services region includes three counties with one of the nation’s largest Amish populations. The Red Cross regional operation has a board member who is Amish and who is arranging to have a buggy custom made for the contest, which wraps up Sept. 6. Blood donors who prefer a more modern mode of transportation can win a 2010 Nissan Versa.

Sharp curve in Maine nets another big fish spill WHITING, Maine (AP) — There’s something fishy in Whiting, Maine. For the third time, a fish truck has accidently dumped its load in Esther MacLaughlin’s front yard, located on a sharp turn near the intersection of Route 189 and Route 1. Maine State Police say a truck carrying at least 22,000 pounds of lobster-bait herring overturned on the curve Saturday, spilling its cargo and injuring the driver. Trooper Andrew Foss tells the Bangor Daily News the driver blew a tire as he drove through the curve, causing the truck to flip on its side. The driver was hospitalized with leg injuries. The truck sustained $25,000 in damage.

Only God can take away sin
Q: If you could change just one thing about human nature, what would it be? And how would you go about doing it? The human race has so many problems that I think we need to give a lot of thought to this. -- Mrs. V.W. A: The one thing about human nature I would change if I could is this: I’d eliminate all our selfishness and thoughtlessness and pride, and replace them with love, compassion and humility. After all, why do we have so many problems? Why can’t we get along? Some people say the answer is to change our outward circumstances -- to eliminate poverty, for example, or do away with social injustice. These are noble goals, of course, but by themselves they won’t solve our problems, because the real problem is inside us -- within our own hearts and minds. Greed... selfishness... evil thoughts... jealousy... envy... lying... all these come from within. The Bible says, “What causes fights and wars among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?” (James 4:1). This is why we need God, for only He can take away our selfishness and replace it with His love. And He will, as we open our hearts and lives to Jesus Christ. We can’t change our human nature -- not in any lasting way. But God can -- and He will as we submit our lives to Him, because He loves us and has the power to change us by His Spirit. Is this true in your life? Or are you still struggling to become a better person on your own -- and yet constantly failing? Don’t stay on that path any longer, but by faith turn to Jesus Christ and discover the joy of His life-changing presence and peace every day.

The Towns have worked together as the Western Wake Project Partners to develop the proposal and permit request for the Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities. The project requires five Department of the Army (DA) permit requests for the complete project as described in the Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Fa-

cilities Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). The Record of Decision (ROD) is in response to the Partnersʼ permit request to authorize construction of a wastewater reclamation facility (WRF) at Site 14, and associated infrastructure and pipelines as described in the Section 2 “Description of the Proposed Project” of the ROD.The permit request is for permanently impacting 0.82 acres of wetlands and 378 linear feet (lf) of stream (232 lf of perennial and 146 lf intermittent) in order to construct and operate new wastewater management facilities including influent conveyance facilities, a new WRF, and new effluent conveyance facilities in western Wake County, North Carolina.
