SANFORD — Home sales may be getting better in Lee County this year, but banks are foreclosing on local residential properties at a record pace. According to the North Carolina Justice Center, Lee County has seen 199 foreclosures through the first seven months of 2010, putting it on

SANFORD — The acclaimed novel “To Kill A Mockingbird” was eye-opening for Sanford resident Susan Hooper, who first read it in early adulthood. “It was hard to comprehend such things were going on,” said Hooper, who grew up in the Northeast. “It just showed what little power African Americans had back then.” Approximately 25 people gathered Tuesday night at the Lee County Public Library to discuss the novel and celebrate the 50th anniversary of its publication. The event was part of a larger observance at

SANFORD — Sanford resident Sandra Petty is tired of hearing about kids doing poorly in school because they don’t have enough resources or positive influences. She’s tired of hearing about rising obesity and diabetes in minority communities. And she isn’t content to look on with pity from the sidelines. With no funding and a lot of determination, Petty is taking it upon Petty herself to improve community life for Lee County children and teenagers in need. “What we want to do is reclaim our community,” Petty said. “We want to offer mentor programs and sports programs. We want to get healthy habits back into the community.”

County gets a ‘C’ in Civitas study on workforce growth

RALEIGH — Lee County received a grade of C in terms of county government worker growth, according to a study by the Civitas Institute. The study examines the changes in county government employees from 2000 to 2009 for each of North Carolina’s 100 counties and compares that to each county’s change in private sector jobs and population. Overall, 73 of North Carolina’s 100 county governments grew their workforce at a faster pace than their respective private sector employment. According to Civitas, 60 county governments expanded their payrolls at a rate that exceeded the county’s population growth over the same period. Civitas Institute analyst Brian Balfour said, “At a time of heightened concern over the explosive growth of government, citizens should be concerned about their county government adding workers at a pace faster than population growth — or even as the county sheds private sector jobs.” Balfour said Lee County was given a C because it “fell into the group of counties that at least showed some restraint in terms of county government employee growth. While they did add county workers, they did so at a pace reflective of the county’s population growth.” In total, the number of county government workers in North Carolina grew at a 13 percent pace from 2000 to 2009. At the same time, however, the size of North Carolina’s private sector workforce dropped by nearly 4 percent, according to the ogranization. — from staff reports

Mixed C&D debris must be transported by a C&D hauler licensed by the county. Licensed haulers have agreed to take mixed C&D debris to a licensed C&D facility with a demonstrated recycling rate of at least 30 percent. A list of licensed C&D haulers and facilities, applications and all requirements are available on the Waste Management Department’s website. There is currently no fee to apply for a license. Those who separate debris on the worksite will need to report how much material was salvaged and where it was taken. — special to The Herald

CHATHAM COUNTY LEE COUNTY New ordinance targets construction, Health & Rehab to break ground on demolition debris new therapy wing PITTSBORO — A recently adopted Construction and Demolition Recycling Ordinance aims to reduce the amount of C&D debris headed to North Carolina landfills from Chatham County. The ordinance applies to any C&D projects 1,000 square feet or greater within the county’s unincorporated areas. Projects include construction, demolition, deconstruction, repairs, remodels, additions, or any other related activity requiring a building permit. Beginning Sept. 1, a C&D Recycling Document must be completed and signed by the Chatham County Waste Management Department before a building permit will be issued for relevant projects. The document asks applicants to provide details on the C&D debris they expect to generate and how it will be handled.

SANFORD — Sanford Health and Rehabilitation will officially break ground on a 25,000 square-foot building, specializing in orthopedic therapy at 10 a.m. Thursday. The new wings will house 56 beds, state of the art physical and occupational therapy gyms, additional dining areas, contemporary foyer, meeting spaces and administrative offices. The facility currently accommodates 75 residents, and will return to its maximum capacity of 131 residents upon completion of the new wings. “After years of work, by many people, we are very happy to be able to show our commitment to the community by providing this addition to Sanford Health and Rehabilitation,” said Alan Finlayson, executive director of Sanford Health and Rehabilitation. — from staff reports

By JENNIFER GENTILE jgentile@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — In lieu of vacation bible school this year, a local church is hoping to draw families with its first fair on Saturday. The Sanford Church of God, located at 2105 Pathway Drive, will be

hosting “A Summer Wonder Fair” from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “We’re kind of stepping out of the box and doing something a little bit different,” said Connie Altman, the church’s director of children’s and senior adult ministries. All of the familyfriendly entertainment, as well as refreshments like hot dogs, chips and shaved ice, are free for attendees. According to church secretary Suzanne Felton, donations are welcomed and any proceeds will help fund mission projects. The church is billing the event as a “day

of games, activities and special events for the whole family.” Patrons can participate in a watermelon seed spitting contest, purchase goodies at a bake sale or try to sink the church’s pastor, Rev. David Kimbrell, in a dunking booth. Sandra Rosser, Marcus Parker and Rev. Kimbrell will provide gospel singing throughout the morning. Music Director Jason Hunt will ride backwards and perform other stunts on a bicycle. One element Altman is particularly excited about is a “ministry fair.” “All the different departments, groups

and clubs we have here at the church will have a booth set up, advertising all of their programs and activities,” Altman said. The fair will cater to kids with five inflatables, water activities and sand art. Children can also paint an old pickup truck or play in an army jeep. Altman said she hopes for a turnout of at least 250 to 300 people and is looking forward to seeing many new faces. “We’re doing this to try to reach out to the community more,” she said, “and let them know what we offer for families. ... We feel that family is important.”

Geologist explains potential for natural gas Special to The Herald

PITTSBORO — A geologist provided an overview of the shale natural gas deposits that may be located under parts of Chatham County during Monday’s meeting of the Chatham County Board of Commissioners. R Jeffrey C. Reid, senior geologist for the N.C. Geological Survey, also noted potential environmental impacts of drilling for the gas. Reid said the Deep River shale deposit is a somewhat narrow strip in a rift about 150 miles long, starting north of Raleigh

and heading southwest to Anson and Montgomery counties along the South Carolina border. A major section may run through an estimated 700 acres of Chatham County along the Lee County line, but Reid said that this is probably an underestimate. They have not tested all the areas, so they can’t confirm the acreage. Reid said that the large shale gas deposit in the Deep River Basin remained fairly undiscovered until a 2008 report by the North Carolina Geologic Survey. Energy production companies previously were not as interested in the deeper

shale deposits, but newer technologies made it easier for them to extract natural gas from these deposits. While natural gas is a cleaner form of energy, the drilling methods used to extract the gas from the shale come with environmental risks. One extraction method is hydraulic fracturing or “fracking,” which injects water and chemicals underground at high pressure to crack open shale. Environmental concerns of fracking include potential contami-

nation of groundwater, soil erosion and depletion of water supplies. Fracking is currently is illegal in North Carolina. Another technology used is horizontal drilling, also is not currently allowed under state law. James Simmons, director of Land Resources said that some of the chemicals used in fracking are potentially toxic. Drilling companies are increasingly under pressure across the nation to reveal the type and amount of chemicals they use.

Q I have seen recent ads that say “25..or 30 Wanted”...to try XYZ hearing aids never before available, inviting consumers to participate in clinical trials. What is your opinion of these? A Since the introduction of digital hearing aids to the market 15 years ago, advancements in technology continue to evolve at a very fast rate.There are several major manufacturers of hearing aids, and each company has its own technology. Although it may be “new” and never available from one manufacturer, a very similar version is likely available from another. Before heaing aids can be made available to the public, manufacturers select university or research-based clinics to follow very strict protocols on how devices are performing for patients, usually individuals that are already wearing devices, for comparison purposes. This information, as well as technical data, is passed along to the FDA for its scrutiny before the product is released to other clinics. Certain hearing aid businesses may want you to “try” their manufacturer’s new product, but it is likely not a pure research trial. Inquire in advance as to what type of trial you will be participating in and what type of data they are hoping to gather.

District’s revised drug policy a good step Our View Issue: Chatham County Schools’ revised drug policy, which takes away extracurricular activities for 30 days

Our stance: The policy makes it clear to students the district is serious, and should deter drug use

Hit ‘em where it hurts. It may sound like a phrase best saved for the football field, but it’s also something the Chatham County Board of Education did with its updated alcohol and drug policy, which the district adopted recently. The policy has been in place since 1998 and has been revised three times since then. The most recent version was crafted by Chatham County Schools administrators and coaches and passed by the Board of Education in the hopes that additional consequences might deter students from violating the policy ...

... by hitting them where it hurts. On the first offense, students will still receive an eight-day suspension from school. If students agree to visit a substance abuse treatment agency and attend a substance abuse assessment, the suspension can be reduced to five days. This was all part of the previous policy. The new policy states that on a first offense students will now also not be allowed to park on campus for 90 school days and will be suspended from participating in extracurricular activities for 30 school days minimum. Students caught

violating the policy who play on a sports team will be suspended from the team for the remainder of the season. Those restrictions will continue into the following school year if necessary to complete the suspension. Taking away parking privileges. Taking away extracurricular activities. Taking away sports. For those who think suspensions and taking away privileges won’t work for the type of student who’d violate a drug policy, think again. Several studies show that students whose parents have money and students who currently per-

form or have performed well in school are more likely to experiment with drugs or alcohol than their peers in poorer communities. Not all students may care if they’ve been yanked from school for a week, but many do care that their sports or theater classes are no longer available. Chatham’s policy also has parts in place to help those who’ve been caught. That hasn’t changed. But these new rules may be what it takes to keep some from ever trying that first beer or popping that first pill.

A river ran through it

he three-ring circus just hired a dancing, torch-juggling bear. UNC-TV and its series of illfated stories critical of aluminum-maker Alcoa just took another strange twist when emails showed that a researcher who worked on the project took money from a consultant working to block Alcoa’s effort to re-license its dams on the Yadkin River. When last we visited this strange episode of reportage, a senator had subpoenaed footage from UNC-TV, apparently fearing it would never make it on the airwaves. Instead, the station aired the reports, compiled by correspondent Eszter Vadja, over three nights, with a bizarre disclaimer about the segments being Vadja’s work and not the network’s. After catching criticism from 12 directions, UNC-TV general manager Tom Howe asked the journalism school at UNC-Chapel Hill to do a review. It wasn’t very complimentary, questioning management’s decision-making, or lack thereof, and the fairness of the report. How do we know that? Alcoa lawyers got a copy of the draft report through a public records request of the journalism school. (By the way, one of their lawyers is press lawyer Hugh Stevens. So, now a press lawyer is prying into the business of an organization that some folks – himself included -- argued shouldn’t comply with the Senate subpoena. Most peculiar, mama.) Then came revelations, apparently generated by Alcoa’s public records request of UNC-TV emails, that Vajda’s friend and researcher, Martin Sansone, got $3,000 from former House Speaker Richard Morgan. Morgan is working as a consultant for something called the N.C. Water Rights Committee, one of the group’s opposing Alcoa’s effort to re-license the dams. Shannon Vickery, director of production at UNC-TV, said the station wasn’t aware before it aired the stories that Sansone had taken money from an Alcoa opponent. But were they aware that a researcher not employed by the station was tagging along with Vadja as she worked on the project? Sansome, a Brit, apparently told Morgan that he needed the money to remain in the U.S. and continue the work. If your head isn’t hurting yet, mine is. Obviously, alleged journalists shouldn’t take money from those whom they cover. And strange things begin to happen when an organization broadcasting something that some see as news and is at the same time subject to public records requests. Sadly, this sorry episode has served as a distraction from the larger issue, one that has nothing to do with the proper role of public broadcast agencies or fourdecade old pollution at Alcoa’s Badin plant. That issue is simply this: Should a private company that no longer provides jobs here and is not a publicly-regulated utility continue to be allowed to control that waters of a major North Carolina river for another 50 years?

Politics interrupts a dream

ost parents will do anything for their children. And when mom and dad are in the United States illegally, this includes volunteering to spend the rest of your lives in the shadows if it means your kid can step into the light. On a recent trip to Phoenix, I sat down for dinner with a pair of illegal immigrants -- a married couple who overstayed their visas about 15 years ago and have been trying, with the help of an attorney, to get right with the law ever since. They’re not the only ones who lack legal status; they have a child, born in Mexico, who is now a teenager with an uncertain future. Mom and dad agree that they’d be willing to forgo their chance at legal status if, at least, something could be done for their child. That something is the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, or DREAM, sponsored by Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Richard Lugar, R-Ind. The bill is aimed at young people in the country illegally, offering them “conditional permanent residency” if they came before they were 16 and if they attend college or serve in the military. Once they graduate or complete their enlistment, they would get permanent legal residency with a chance to apply for U.S. citizenship. Anyone who didn’t enroll in college or join the military would be subject to deportation. As far as my dinner companions are concerned, the legislation is a gift from above. “We’d be willing to wait 100 years for the chance to stay here legally,” the father said, “if our child could have that opportunity right now through the DREAM Act.” This bill is a fantastic idea. It identifies young people who want to make a contribution and separates them from those who don’t. And it allows the United States to keep precisely the kind of individuals that other countries would love to have. The legislation represents good policy and good sense. So, naturally, it’s having trouble making it through Congress. Immigration-reform liberals are split. In one camp are those who think Congress should pass the DREAM Act to solve a small part of the immigration problem. In the other are those who want to stay focused on the larger and more elusive cause of comprehensive immigration reform. Part of it has to do with the numbers. It is estimated that the DREAM Act could impact as many as 700,000 people; those who are pushing for comprehensive immigration reform have their eye on changing the status of more than 10 million. Some say its time to settle for the DREAM Act as a “down payment” on immigration reform. Adding to all this, there’s also drama on Capitol Hill. Senate Majority Leader Harry

Ruben Navarrette Jr. Syndicated Columnist Reach Navarrette by e-mail at ruben@rubennavarrette.com

Reid is in a tough battle for re-election. Should he lose, it would set off a gladiator match to succeed him between the secondranking Democrat (Durbin, who is sponsoring the DREAM Act) and the third-ranking Democrat (Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, who is supposedly going to propose -one of these days -- a comprehensive bill). The Hill newspaper reported a few months ago that Durbin is “soft-pedaling” the DREAM Act so as not to undercut Schumer’s reform effort. He’s doing this even though his supporters think it’s every senator for himself now and that No. 2 shouldn’t be doing anything to help No. 3 -- especially since, many immigration advocates acknowledge, it’s Durbin’s bill that stands the better chance of passing. Political junkies love this stuff, but most people couldn’t care less about the politics holding back the DREAM Act. They include those parents in Phoenix who just want a safe haven for their child and thought they had seen the last of this kind of political dysfunction when they left Mexico. They also include the several hundred undocumented high school and college students who recently marched on Washington -- in caps and gowns -- to rally support for the bill. Some of them occupied senators’ offices and got arrested, risking deportation. By their actions, these students showed more courage and character in confronting this issue than our lawmakers have shown in ducking it. And there’s the best argument for passing the DREAM Act -- so that deserving young people get the chance to realize their full potential. With so much of politics driven by the self-interest of politicians, we’re fresh out of leaders in this country. So we had better start growing a new crop.

Today’s Prayer In all thy ways acknowledge (God) and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:6 KJV) PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, for Your love and guidance. May we be aware of Your presence and trust and obey You. Amen.

America is fortunate that the strength and chutzpah of American Muslims have been tempered by faith and a sense of responsibility. This mindful consideration could vanish if current myths are not eliminated. The first is that the Muslims are asking for too much, too soon. Another outrageous idea is that Muslims will happily accept whatever is dished out to them. And then there are poisonous myths about possible Islamic insurgency in the U.S. Americans, as a whole, must own up to the fact that the evils of omission and the commissions of Islamophobes are challenging policies of nonviolence, not Islam. Christian Americans and other kinds of religious practitioners who caution that Muslims should wait would do well to remember that Muslims are not asking for any special advantages from the government and that few groups have had to endure such prejudice on American soil. Except for black Americans, no other group has suffered so intensely. In little more than a decade, the social and political conditions of life for Muslim Americans have altered radically. This country’s laws forbid discrimination because of spirituality, and multiple laws have been enacted proclaiming religious equality. Despite these laws, you have politicians and ordinary people objecting to Muslim having places to pray. Despite these laws, Muslims seem to be going from bad to worse — marginalized by beliefs that do not differ so much from Christianity or Judaism. The law pronounces Muslims equal, but their conditions in society are still far from equal to those of other faiths. KHALILAH SABRA Executive director, N.C.

Where was the picture of the winning dancers? To the Editor: I attended the Lee county dancing with the stars event Friday night as a support for a couple of fellow colleagues, one of which was Karla Koballa. I am very disappointed in the pictures that were chosen to be in the paper Sunday. Karla and her partner won the artistic competition; however, there was no picture of them in the paper. I understand the highlight on the winning couple, but honestly the picture selection was biased for the Herald participants. There should have been an equal emphasis on the artistic component as well as the fundraising component. MARY ELLEN TEETER Sanford

Science students, teachers get a new view By JACKIE DRAKE The Daily Reflector of Greenville

GREENVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A telescope can provide stunning views of the universe, but it also can provide a new perspective on teaching and learning here on Earth. A telescope-building workshop at the Flanagan Building at East Carolina University gave teachers a chance to put science in action with local students before taking their experience back to their respective classrooms this school year. The workshop was part of a three-year, $51,000 grant from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund that covers the construction of 10 telescopes a year with 10 teachers and 20 students. The fund is an independent, private foundation

dedicated to advancing the biomedical sciences by supporting research and other scientific and educational activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a unique workshop. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been one done like this in North Carolina,â&#x20AC;? said Sharon Schleigh, an assistant professor in the math, science and technology department of the ECU College of Education who helped write the grant. The program is built on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;see one, do one, teach oneâ&#x20AC;? model, Schleigh said. First, teachers attended a workshop to learn how to build the telescopes themselves. Then they had a chance to practice teaching what they learned by helping a small group of Boys and Girls Club students build telescopes at the work-

shop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the end of the program, the teachers will have a complete skill set to take back to their classrooms,â&#x20AC;? Schleigh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The focus is on teachers as a force multiplier. This is an effective way to apply and disseminate knowledge.â&#x20AC;? While the grant only covers the telescopes in the workshops, teachers who want to build telescopes in their classrooms will receive guidance finding other grants and funding, Schleigh said. The program could reach as many as 300 students a year for the next three years as the 30 teachers complete the workshops. Teachers apply and are selected based on their willingness and ability to incorporate the project into

their curriculum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This effort brings together four institutions: Burroughs Wellcome, the Boys and Girls Club, East Carolina University and GO-Science,â&#x20AC;? John Meredith, chairman of the board of directors for GO-Science, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is truly a collaborative effort.â&#x20AC;? GO-Science is a nonprofit based in Greenville that allows children and adults of all abilities to develop their full potential through interactive and informal science activities. Meredith, whose undergraduate degree is in physics, led the teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; telescope workshop. The grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first 10 teachers are from schools across the region including Elizabeth City, Chapel Hill and Pitt County. The students were from the Boys and Girls Clubs of

Pitt County and the GOScience summer camp. Blair Driver, a teacher at Pactolus School, is helping to write a manual on telescope building for other teachers to use. The grant also provided laptops, and students were able to remotely control educational telescopes in Hawaii via the Internet to view and capture images of different aspects of the universe. Building the basic telescopes in the workshop helped students understand how powerful research telescopes work, Schleigh explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a wonderful time,â&#x20AC;? Vicky Newberry, an Earth science teacher at North Lenoir High School, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great opportunity for these kids to get to build a telescope and get them excited about exploring

astronomy.â&#x20AC;? South Central High School science teacher Ann McClung said the workshop was going great and her kids were enjoying it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like astronomy sometimes, but I like it better today,â&#x20AC;? Jordan Blake, 12, a rising seventh-grader at Ayden Middle School, said. Anthony Reeves, 12, of A.G. Cox Middle School, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My favorite part is everything. This is awesome!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is more than a telescope, this is a tool for changing a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective on the universe,â&#x20AC;? Schleigh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to help teachers show students that science is not just facts and formulas, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about questioning and exploring the world around us.â&#x20AC;?

DAVIDSON COLLEGE

Wheelchair hockey team seeks new challenges on the hardcorurt

Court: Religious college canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have campus police

By RUTH SHEEHAN The News & Observer of Raleigh

PIKEVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sweet-faced George Silvey, representing the Carolina Fury hockey team, zoomed up in his electric wheelchair, his tiny legs folded and nearly invisible under his torso. Next to him, poised to defend the goal, was an able-bodied member of the Carolina Hurricanes staff in a manual wheelchair. The staff member glanced at George and hesitated. Big mistake. George, who has spina bifida, pulled up so tightly next to the staff member that his wheels shrieked, then backed up abruptly, boxing the guy out. All the while, Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stick was flying, until finally the ref shouted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;George, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to give you a penalty!â&#x20AC;? George grinned wickedly, thwacked the ball and whizzed past his opponent at lightning speed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too slow!â&#x20AC;? he hollered with glee. Welcome to hockey, electric wheelchair-style. It is an improvised game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; street hockey played on a basketball court, this one at Charles B. Aycock High School in

the Wayne County town of Pikeville. The boundaries are defined by bolsters. The sticks are lighter, and instead of a puck a Wiffle Ball is used. But the intensity is purely regulation: I defy anyone who watches the Carolina Fury play not to start cheering for players like George. Jonathan Greeson, 28, who has had spinal muscular atrophy since birth, started the Fury, North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only electric wheelchair hockey team, in 2002. His motive was simple. The improvised hockey court is one place where players can participate in a sport or activity on their own terms: They arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pushed; they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t assisted; they are in control. The Fury has 12 players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; men, women and boys, ages 10 to 50. Some, like Jim Thompson, 37, are there because of spinal injuries. He lost his legs two years ago after falling asleep on the way to work and flipping his car. Most, like Greeson, are grappling with disorders from childhood or degenerative diseases. One player can move only his thumbs. The Fury draws players from as far away as

Burlington and Statesville â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but the team is raising money to go even farther. Members hope to attend the Electric Wheelchair Hockey Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of the World Cup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the PowerCup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in Toronto in August. The event will give the team the chance to play others who are skilled in moving down the court in speedy, electric chairs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; rather than against good-hearted but sometimes slow and clumsy able-bodied players in manual chairs. Chris Beach, 13, of Cary had his first taste competing against other players in electric chairs when the Fury hosted a tournament that brought teams from other states to the RBC Center last summer. No offense to the Hurricanesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; staff, but there was no comparison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was intense,â&#x20AC;? said Beach, who has muscular dystrophy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone was really moving fast.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the Furyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s larger goal goes beyond Toronto â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to expand the league itself, so that its members can play electric wheelchair hockey on a regular basis. Already, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a team budding in Wilmington called the Hot Wheels; Beachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents are trying to form a team in Raleigh, if only they can find a gym for practice.

But electric wheelchair hockey is the one sport that lets him play, unassisted, in a truly competitive environment. An East Carolina University graduate who is forging a career as an inspirational speaker, Hessee is also, quietly, a ringer on the team. Greeson, an N.C. State graduate who manages grants for the Wayne County 4-H, chuckles at the fire of his aptly-named team, which keeps getting stronger, even as some of the members physically weaken. Back when he first organized the Fury, Greeson was on defense, and Josh Cranfill, 26, covered the goal. Since then, their conditions, degenerative by nature, have limited their movements further. These days, Greeson is goalie, and Cranfill is coach, deploying his players in a halting voice amplified by a microphone positioned next to his mouth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Josh is the brains behind the organization,â&#x20AC;? said Robert Ucciardi, who lost the use of his legs in a wreck in 2005. Ucciardi grew up with Greeson in Pikeville. After his accident, Greeson came to visit and invited Ucciardi to attend a Fury practice. Ucciardi was skeptical â&#x20AC;&#x201D; until he arrived at their old high school court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, poor me, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a cripple, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything,â&#x20AC;? said Ucciardi, who counsels newly paralyzed patients at Pitt Memorial Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was feeling pretty sorry for myself when Jonathan got me to come to the first practice. Then I met Josh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All he can do is move his thumbs. If a guy like that can get up every day and do it, what am I complaining about? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my inspiration.â&#x20AC;?

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A prestigious North Carolina private college cannot have police officers with the power to arrest suspects and enforce state law because the school is a religious institution, the state Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday. A three-judge panel agreed that the state Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have commissioned Davidson College officers as law enforcement with powers similar to city police or county sheriffs. An attorney familiar with the case said it may apply to other private colleges with religious affiliations. Allowing the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s security officers to carry out laws on behalf of the state violates the U.S. Constitutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prohibition against laws establishing religion by creating â&#x20AC;&#x153;an excessive government entanglement with religion,â&#x20AC;? Judge Jim Wynn wrote in the unanimous opinion. The police power â&#x20AC;&#x153;is an unconstitutional delegation of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;an important discretionary governmental powerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to a religious institution in the context of the First Amendment,â&#x20AC;? Wynn wrote before he left the state bench to join the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last week. The unanimous ruling means thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no automatic appeal to the state Supreme Court. If an appeal is sought, judges Donna Stroud and Cheri Beasley urged the Supreme Court to consider the case to clarify whether a college or university with a religious affiliation should be allowed to receive the delegated authority if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seek to impose beliefs or indoctrinate students. Davidson, a Presbyterian school of 1,800 students, has generated Rhodes Scholars and con-

sistently ranks among the best liberal arts schools in the country. Davidson and schools like it have well-established principles of academic freedom and religious tolerance, the ruling said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thus acknowledge the important distinction between an institution with religious influence or affiliation and one that is pervasively sectarian,â&#x20AC;? Wynn wrote. Attorney General Roy Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, which represents the state in the case, is reviewing the decision, a spokeswoman said. The case arose when a Davidson officer stopped a motorist in 2006 on a street adjacent to the campus, 20 miles north of Charlotte. The driver, Julie Anne Yencer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who was not a Davidson student â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pleaded guilty to driving while impaired but appealed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear if the ruling will immediately affect Davidsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine-employee police department as classes begin Monday. School spokeswoman Stacey Schmeidel said the school is â&#x20AC;&#x153;analyzing the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion to determine its full implications.â&#x20AC;? The Legislature allows the attorney general to certify police agencies and commission officers at private, nonprofit colleges. The authority is not denied to schools â&#x20AC;&#x153;originally established by or affiliated with religious denominations,â&#x20AC;? the law says. Wynn cited earlier cases that found it unconstitutional to delegate police powers to Campbell University and Pfeiffer University. Both Pfeiffer and Campbell had strong affiliations to denominations and Christian purposes. The North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities has 36 members, including Davidson and others, such as Duke and Wake Forest. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately clear how many have the level of religious affiliation that fit the category identified in Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are presumably a lot of similarly situated institutions around the state that have been delegated the police power in an unconstitutional way, and this presumably applies to all of them,â&#x20AC;? said Yencerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, Allen Brotherton of Charlotte.

OLD FORT (MCT) — An Old Fort man is behind bars after authorities say he stabbed a woman who was trying to protect her daughter from the suspect’s sexual advances. Lt. Detective Dan Shook of the McDowell County Sheriff’s Office charged Jonathan Mark Stevens, 30, of Stevens Road with two counts of first-degree kidnapping and one count each

In addition to the topic of racism, Gillis said, “there are so many layers of theme in the book; what it means to grow up, what it means to be innocent and encounter evil. It is a book for all times, a true classic.” The story is told from the perspective of 6-yearold Scout Finch, who lives with her brother, Jem, and father, Atticus, in fictional Maycomb, Ala. Lee’s masterpiece is known for its memorable characters and thoughtprovoking portrayal of racial injustice in the Deep

devastating for North Carolina’s working families,” said Alfred Ripley, head of the center’s Consumer Action Network. “Across the state, people are struggling to stay in their homes.” The top three North Carolina counties for foreclosures are Mecklenburg, with 6,726 so far this year, Wake (3,246) and Guilford (2,542). Rounding out the top ten are Forsyth (1,449), Union (1,179), New Hanover (1,126), Durham (1,109), Buncombe (1,073), Gaston (1,068) and Cumberland (961)

With those goals in mind, Petty started Project Reclamation, a nonprofit organization aimed at developing positive relationships with Lee County youth through mentoring, education and physical activity. Her passion for the community began when she and her friends started doing volunteer work. Their initial idea was to start a consulting business that would work with nonprofits and churches, but from that idea Project Reclamation developed into a nonprofit of its own. “Our first project was to go into the Garden Street Community, and we were successful in getting their nonprofit status reinstated,” Petty said. From there, Project Reclamation worked toward developing after school programs and GED programs before incorporating a new organization aimed at helping teenagers in the community. After moving back to Sanford from

He was taken into custody in lieu of a $200,000 bond. Deputies were called to Stevens Road around 4 a.m. Tuesday. Shook said the suspect, who had been drinking throughout the night, brandished a large

hunting knife, and told a young teen girl at the residence to take off her clothes. When the girl’s mother stepped between Stevens and her daughter, Stevens stabbed the woman in her left arm, left forearm, left shoulder and above her left eye, according to the lieutenant. She was taken to The McDowell Hospital, where she was treated for the four wounds and

released. Shook stated that, despite Stevens’ threats that he would kill the two if they left, the teen and her mother fled. When deputies arrived, the suspect was still holding the knife, said the detective. Additional charges against Stevens are pending. — The McDowell News, Marion

South. Atticus Finch, an attorney, defends a black man named Tom Robinson against a false rape charge by a white accuser. In the mysterious character of Boo Radley — who initially frightens Scout but ultimately saves her life — the author makes a statement about prejudice. Radley is the favorite character of 14-year-old Brittany Fox. “I like how he was in the background and then he made an appearance at the very end,” said the Lee Senior High School student. For 65-year-old Charles Sutherland, the book evoked fond memories of his upbringing

in Sanford. He recalled “rolling in a tire” down Price Street — an activity also enjoyed by the young characters. “The book is outstanding; it’s realistic,” Sutherland said, adding that it depicted the best and worst aspects of growing up in the South. “I would say to me, it was reality,” Sutherland said, “the way things really were.” Dorothy Hubbard agreed, describing the book as “a true portrayal of the way things were,” “It’s a a true reflection.” Hubbard said. “It showed the good, the bad and the ugly.” The discussion group tackled a variety of top-

ics, ranging from the role of assumptions in the book to its reception and influence on American culture. Gillis noted that “Mockingbird” has been banned in several places since its release, most recently in Canada. “Anything that’s really good literature faces a lot of challenges,” Gillis said. Mockingbird is one of the most banned books of all time, according to Gillis, which seems to have had only a positive influence on its popularity. According to publisher HarperCollins , the novel has been translated into more than 40 languages and sold more than 30 million copies worldwide.

counties. Sanford attorney Robert Gilleland of Harrington, Gilleland & Winstead said the statistics don’t necessarily mean the economy is getting worse locally, but that more and more families and banks are running out of the options that kept homes from being foreclosed on when the bottom initially dropped out. “In my opinion, you had a first round of people who had to foreclose, and many others attempted modifications on their loans or worked out anything they could with the bank to keep away from foreclosure,” Gilleland said. “Some were probably just

hanging on with savings or other resources. But now you have a combination of people who’ve exhausted their resources, still haven’t found employment and may have no other alternative.” Gilleland, who deals with real estate and foreclosure cases, said he hasn’t personally noticed a record-breaking year, but added that it’s hard to track all the different situations that lead to foreclosure — such as a family choosing to vacate a property without notice. Ripley praised lawmakers for passing Senate Bill 1015, the Homeowner and Homebuyer Protection Act, during

the last session. The bill restricts certain unscrupulous practices, such as foreclosure rescue scams. More attention to the problem is needed, Ripley said. “We also need to create more affordable housing options through the Housing Trust Fund,” he said, “and continue to strengthen and pass common-sense rules and regulations on mortgage lending and home foreclosure policies and procedures.” Nationwide, foreclosure rates went up 4 percent in July. According to the Justice Center, forecasters now believe rates might not peak until next year.

as part its funding package for renovations to Lee County High School. The $67 million expansion of Sanford’s Big Buffalo wastewater treatment plant is set to be completed in 2013 and will up Big Buffalo’s capacity from 6.8 million gallons per day to 12 mil-

lion gallons per day. City leaders have readied the work for the better part of a decade, drafting plans and meeting ever-shifting state requirements policed by the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Officials say the

work is needed to meet expected growth through the year 2030, though some council members, including Major Pro Tem Mike Stone, have point to data that indicate the economy has slowed water demand as proof that the expansion is not necessary at this time.

Durham, Regina Williams wanted to form an organization to help troubled teens, particularly those from low-income homes, and provide them with an encouraging environment. “I wanted to create an organization that would start to change and counteract the effects of what’s going on in our society regardless of socioeconomic status,” Williams said. Petty helped Williams establish GIFTED (Girls Influencing the Future Through Education and Development) and BRIM (Boys Redefining the Image of Men), which now fall under the umbrella of Project Reclamation. GIFTED and BRIM offer tutoring and mentoring to teens and give them

access to a community garden. The teenagers will take some of the fruits and vegetables in the garden to elderly people in the community, and it provides them with a venue to learn about healthy eating habits. “It was something positive where the kids were allowed to see where food actually comes from,” Petty said. “We’re guilty of allowing them to sit on the couch and play video games all day. They’re not getting physical activities in. A lot of their parents have to work overtime, and they eat a lot of fast food.” To further encourage kids to get off the couch and get some exercise, Project Reclamation started Totally Fit gym. Any child who visits

the gym with a doctor’s referral will receive free personal training. The gym will be sustained by adults who wish to use the facilities paying a minimal fee. Garry Nelson of Nelson & Nelson Chiropractic recently donated some boxing equipment to the gym and was impressed with Petty’s dedication to her cause. “She’s volunteering her own time with no funds, and it was great to see that,” Nelson said. “All

traveled to the Dominican Republic annually since 2005. But this year, the team hopes to expand the trip to other members of the community through Project I.C.U. (Introducing Christ Universally), a new medical missions nonprofit operated under Sanfordbased PRH Ministries. “We thought this would be a tremendous opportunity to form a subsidiary organization under PRH Ministries this year,” said Rudy Holland, senior pastor of Grace Chapel Ministries. “We hope there will be more people interested in coming from the Sanford community and from other communities.” The Grace Chapel medical missions team has also traveled to Haiti and Nicaragua, and as the program progressed, more and more doctors and nurses who aren’t members of the church started helping. Jan. 28Feb. 5, 2011, the group will make its first trip to the Dominican Republic as Project I.C.U. Doctors and nurses treat patients in clinics and perform surgeries, and general volunteers assist with other necessary care. The team typically provides at least $3,000 in prescriptions and $500,000-$750,000 worth of medical equipment. “A nursing home we visited had no way to store food hygienically, but now they have a refrigerator and running water,” said Marty Pate, chairman of Project I.C.U. Though the group primarily travels to the Dominican Republic, most of the patients they treat are Haitian immigrants who live in poor migrant communities. Some have no family to help them, and elderly people with nowhere to go are left to die in the streets. “Because they’re Haitian in the Dominican Republic, they’re given no government health care,” said Candy Torgerson, secretary of Project I.C.U. The team has seen its fair share of miracles on past trips. Once they treated a 9-month-old baby who weighed only eight pounds, but the child lived thanks to donated formula.

it takes is one person to make that change.” Project Reclamation also recently acquired a house on Woodland Ave. that Ralph Watson of Watson Mortuary donated, but it requires repairs that the organization can’t afford. “It will be a great place where the kids can have somewhere to go as the organization’s headquarters,” Williams said. “But we do need donations in terms of fixing up the house.”

— MARTY PATE — Chairman, Project I.C.U.

“The mother was so malnourished herself that she couldn’t breast feed,” Pate said. Evangelistic work is also a priority of Project I.C.U. In addition to providing medical assistance, Project I.C.U. Director Joel Murr said the team seeks to share the love of Christ with those in need. While the doctors and nurses are treating patients in villages and local hospitals, other volunteers run a children’s ministry. While parents receive medical treatment, Project I.C.U. volunteers teach children about God and Christianity. “Our mission is to not only help people physically but spiritually as well,” Murr said. “But what forming Project I.C.U. is going to do is open up the program for more doctors and nurses and pharmacists.” Brian Torgerson, vice chairman of Project I.C.U., said it always strikes him how the patients he meets are so joyous and optimistic despite their suffering. He said he feels they are generally happier than most Americans, and seeing their enthusiasm when they have so little makes him all the more appreciative of the life he has. Project I.C.U. is currently accepting applications for the 2011 trip to the Dominican Republic. Murr said the trip often reduces people to tears, and the impact is difficult to explain unless people experience it for themselves. “Once you experience it, you just get a fever to go back,” Pate said. “You see people who are bereft of what we think are the minimal accoutrements of life. They don’t have shelter or running water. Yet you talk to them and get a sense of what grace is really all about.” Petty said in the future she hopes Project Reclamation will partner with some local churches. But she said whatever the future holds, she will always be appreciative of people like Nelson who understand and support the organization’s mission. “It’s good to know that there are people out there who really want to help us,” Petty said. “I think if we all work together, we can make things happen faster.”

STATE BRIEFS

Expert: Blood found on crowbar

GOLDSBORO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina crime scene investigator testified Tuesday that she found no DNA evidence from a former Marine on a crowbar prosecutors say was used to kill his pregnant colleague. Special Agent Sharon R. Hinton, an expert in DNA analysis, testified Tuesday afternoon that a sample taken from a blood stain on the crowbar came from the victim, 20-year-old Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach of Vandalia, Ohio. But Hinton testified that she did not find DNA from suspect Cesar Laurean, 23, on the crowbar. She also tested it for DNA from Laureanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Christina Laurean, but could not determine if that was part of the mixture. District Attorney Dewey Hudson told jurors last week an autopsy showed Lauterbach died from a blow to the head. During cross-examination, defense attorney Dick McNeil focused on the mixture of DNA samples on the handle of the crowbar, emphasizing through Hintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testimony that Cesar Laureanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DNA was not present but his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s might have been. North Carolina law bars prosecutors from forcing Christina Laurean, also a Camp Lejeune Marine, to testify against her husband.

Special Agent Matthew Clifton, a State Bureau of Investigation crime scene investigator, testifies in the murder trial of Former Camp Lejeune Marine Cesar Laurean in Wayne County Superior Court in Goldsboro Monday. Jurors were allowed to examine the crowbar. Cesar Laurean is charged with killing Lauterbach and burning her body in a firepit in the backyard of his home in December 2007. He has pleaded not guilty. The two were personnel clerks together in a combat logistics regiment at Camp Lejeune. Lauterbach was about eight months pregnant when she died, but DNA tests revealed that Laurean wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the father. Lauterbach told Navy investigators that Laurean raped her in 2007, though she later recanted her claim that he impregnated her. Navy investigators said they had no physi-

cal evidence to corroborate her claims, and Laurean denied they ever had sexual contact. Laurean was on the run when Lauterbachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remains were discovered, leading authorities on an international manhunt. He was arrested in April 2008 in western Mexico and extradited last year. Hudson agreed not to seek the death penalty so Mexico would consider returning Laurean to the U.S. He faces life in prison if convicted. Prosecutors started Tuesday by examining how investigators handled evidence. Onslow County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Capt. Donnie Worrell said he took evidence from the crime

scene, including one of Lauterbachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s femur bones and the crowbar, to the State Bureau of Investigationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crime lab in Raleigh. Capt. Patrick Garvey later testified that he kept all the evidence after it was returned from the crime lab. The defense has questioned how the crime was investigated. Matthew Clifton, an SBI crime scene investigator, testified Monday that it became useless to collect shoe prints near the firepit grave after Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown walked through the area searching for Lauterbachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buried corpse with a divining rod.

Elections worker challenges firing for behavior

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina State Board of Elections worker has been fired after several female employees accused him of inappropriate behavior. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday that four women signed affidavits saying that board business officer Ralph Gable called them pet names and used sexually charged language. Complaints also alleged Gable installed what looked like a camera in his office. Officials said Gable was placed on paid leave in May, returned to work in June, but was fired

July 29 after his supervisor received new complaints. Gable is appealing his firing and said last week the women are conspiring against him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any reasonable person can see that I have been singled out and am a victim in a coordinated, tainted and vindictive movement carried out in a very surreptitious way,â&#x20AC;? Gable wrote in a prepared statement. Gable, 64, was originally hired in April 2007 as a compliance specialist in the campaign finance office. He was promoted to the business position in October 2008 and made nearly $49,000 a year. The jobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

duties included enforcing federal workplace discrimination laws. Johnnie McLean, the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy director for administration, said a receptionist complained soon after Gable was hired that he had made comments that were interpreted as sexist. McLean and another deputy director met with Gable in February to discuss complaints from several women, including that there appeared to be a small video camera in the ceiling of the office Gable shared with a female employee, the newspaper said. McLean said Gable removed the item before she saw it. Gable said there was no working camera but a lens designed to serve as a

deterrent because he believed his office mate had been going through his work papers. The sworn affidavits from the women were provided in April to McLean and state elections director Gary Bartlett. Some of the women said in the affidavits they were scared to complain in part because of Gableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with Bartlett. Bartlett and Gable have known each other for 20 years since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both from Goldsboro. Bartlett said Gable and at least three other board workers he knows from Goldsboro arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t treated any better or worse than other employees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no favoritism,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Police say man had cake, trashed restaurant GREENSBORO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Police in a North Carolina city arrested a man for breaking into a restaurant, but not before the suspect filled his belly. Multiple media outlets reported that 22-year-old Bradley Michael is charged him with breaking and entering, vandalism and larceny. He was in the Guilford County Jail Tuesday afternoon on a $50,000 bond. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear whether Michael had an attorney. Greensboro police say the suspect broke through the front door of a Red Lobster restaurant around 7 a.m. Monday. The restaurant manager said Michael destroyed an estimated $30,000 worth of computers, benches and liquor bottles. The manager said Michael also made himself a shrimp pizza and ate some cake. Officers found Michael inside the restaurant.

Accreditation agency reviewing school board RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An agency that accredits high schools in a North Carolina county is sending a special review team to assess recent changes in the school system. AdvanceED said in a letter to the Wake County school district that it wants to determine whether the changes are negatively impacting the ability of schools to meet standards. The agency is asking for details about the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s controversial proposal to move away from a diversity policy toward neighborhood schools. The review comes in response to a complaint filed earlier this year by the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP. The NAACP has accused the school board of harboring â&#x20AC;&#x153;racist attitudes,â&#x20AC;? something board members vehemently deny. Schools spokesman Michael Evans said the district is compiling documentation for AdvanceED.

1st Amendment cited in college police case RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An appeals court says a North Carolina college can not have police officers arresting suspects and enforcing state law because the school is considered a religious institution.

Man seeks new lawyers in trooper killing case

NEWTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man accused of killing a North Carolina state trooper has asked a judge for new attorneys, a day before jury selection was to begin in his trial. The Asheville Citizen-Times reported that Edwardo Wong told a court Monday his attorneys disagree about the best way to argue his case. But Superior Court Judge Nathaniel Poovey rejected Wongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, saying no disagreements prevent the two attorneys from representing him. Jury selection was scheduled to begin Tuesday for Wong, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charged with the 2008 death of Trooper David Shawn Blanton Jr. during a traffic stop on Interstate 40 near Canton. Wong could face the death penalty if convicted. The trial is being held in Newton, about 100 miles east of Canton.

Toddler shot while sitting in stroller dies CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 2-year-old North Carolina boy has died after he had been shot while sitting in his stroller as some adults argued last week. Multiple media outlets reported that Ames Bernard Robinson was shot about 9 p.m. Thursday and died Monday. Police say he was caught between two groups of people who were arguing Police initially charged 34year-old Alvin Alexander with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and possession of a gun by a felon. Detectives obtained a warrant charging Alexander with murder after the boy died. Alexander told WBTV of Charlotte in a phone interview Friday that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shoot the child. He remains in jail under $500,000 bond. Mecklenburg County jail records show this is Alexanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixth arrest in the past three years.

NATION BRIEFS Blago guilty on just 1 count; feds vow retrial

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A federal jury found former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich guilty on Tuesday of one count of lying to federal agents, and the judge said he intends to declare a mistrial on the remaining counts. Prosecutors said immediately after the verdict was read that they intend to retry the case against Blagojevich and his co-defendant brother as soon as possible. He had faced 24 counts in all. Judge James B. Zagel set a hearing for Aug. 26 to decide manner and timing of the retrial. The count on which Blagojevich was found guilty included accusations that he lied to federal agents when he said he did not track campaign contributions and kept a â&#x20AC;&#x153;firewallâ&#x20AC;? between political campaigns and government work. It carries a sentence of up to five years in prison. Zagel said Blagojevichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bond will stay the same.

Study: 1 in 5 teenagers has slight hearing loss

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A new study has found a stunning increase in the rate of hearing loss among American teenagers. The report says nearly one in five teenagers has at least slight hearing loss. The cause is a mystery. But some experts are urging teenagers to protect their hearing by turning down the volume on their digital music players. They warn that slight hearing loss can cause problems in school. The reseachers compared hearing loss rates from the late 1980s and early 1990s with rates in 2005 and 2006. They found hearing loss increased from about 15 percent to almost 20 percent of teens. That means about 6.5 million teenagers have at least slight hearing loss.

The dismissal of the piracy count by U.S. District Judge Raymond A. Jackson tosses the most serious charge against the men, but leaves intact seven other charges related to the alleged April 10 attack on the USS Ashland in the Gulf of Aden. A piracy conviction carries a mandatory life term. Defense attorneys argued last month that the Ashland defendants did not meet the U.S. legal definition of piracy because they did not take command of and rob the amphibious dock landing ship.

Craigslist suspect wrote name in Mass. cell BOSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Authorities in Boston say a former medical student accused of killing a New York City masseuse he met through Craigslist scrawled the name of his former fiancee on the wall of his cell â&#x20AC;&#x201D; apparently in blood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; before committing suicide. Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley confirmed Tuesday the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meganâ&#x20AC;? and the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;pocketâ&#x20AC;? were written above the door in Philip Markoffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cell. Investigators are still trying to determine the meaning of the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;pocket.â&#x20AC;? Conley says preliminary autopsy reports show Markoff killed himself Sunday by puncturing several veins and cutting off his air supply with a plastic bag.

Poll: Hispanic immigrants hopeful about life in US

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A judge on Tuesday dismissed piracy charges against six Somali men accused of attacking a Navy ship off the coast of Africa, concluding the U.S. government failed to make the case their alleged actions amounted to piracy.

It was there, in a corner room tucked at the back of the rundown, one-story motel complex, that Duley suffocated the boys with her hands late that night, Williams said. On Tuesday, red evidence tape still sealed the door to that room shut. Distraught and not knowing what to do, Duley strapped the boys into their car seats and drove to a boat ramp some 10 miles away, investigators said. They said Duley rolled her car into the water, watching as it sank into the slow-moving current, then took off on foot. Without a cell phone, Duley walked some distance down a country road, flagging down a passing motorist to call the Highway Patrol at around 6:15 a.m. Monday. Later that morning, authorities pulled the car from the water with Jaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;van and Devean still strapped into their car seats. Duley was initially charged only with leaving the scene of an accident, but Williams said deputies knew there was more to the story than she was telling. There were no skid marks on the roads leading to the water, and no obvious signs of a crash.

ORANGEBURG, S.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Investigators didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy it when a woman said her two young sons drowned after her car plunged into a river. She ultimately confessed to killing the toddlers, they say â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not by dumping them in the water but by suffocating them earlier with her own hands. Broke, jobless and berated by her mother for her failings, Shaquan Duley killed the boys, ages 2 years and 18 months, then strapped their bodies into their car seats before rolling the vehicle into the North Edisto River in a desperate cover-up attempt, authorities said Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She truly felt, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have these toddlers, I can be free,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Orangeburg County Sheriff Larry Williams said at a news conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think she was fed up with her mother telling her she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take care of the children, or she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taking care of the children and just wanted to be free.â&#x20AC;? Coroner Samuetta Marshall told several media outlets Tuesday the older boy had defensive wounds that suggested he had been in a struggle.

Orangeburg County, S.C. Sheriff Larry Williams discusses the case of two toddlers that drowned Monday when their car, driven by their mother, careened into a river, in Orangeburg, SC, Tuesday. Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tragic scene of a car being pulled out of the water with childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bodies inside was eerily reminiscent of the 1994 case of another South Carolina mother, Susan Smith, who is serving life in prison for killing her young sons by rolling her car into a lake in the northwest part of the state. Duley, 29, was to be arraigned on murder charges Wednesday. Authorities were not sure if she had an attorney. She lived with her sons, a 5-year-old daughter and her mother in a rented home along a street filled with boarded-up, abandoned houses in Orangeburg, about 35 miles

south of Columbia, South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital. Out of work and estranged from the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Duley relied on her mother to support her and her children, Williams said. The sheriff said Duley told investigators her mother constantly harangued her about her failures as a mother and inability to provide for her family financially. Leaving her daughter at the house after a night of arguing with her mother Sunday, Duley strapped 2-year-old Devean C. Duley and 18-month-old Jaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;van T. Duley into their car seats and drove the boys to an Orangeburg motel several miles from where she lived.

MOSQUE NEAR GROUND ZERO

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Daily life for Marlen Lopez sounds anything but easy: The undocumented worker cleans offices to pay her bills and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen her 8-year-old son since she left El Salvador three years ago. Yet Lopez is happy with her job, hopeful about the future and confident her son will one day graduate from college in the United States. For the 33-year-old Lopez, as for many other Hispanic immigrants, optimism about life in the U.S. appears to be partly a product of what she sees in the rearview mirror. An Associated Press-Univision poll of more than 1,500 Latinos finds that Hispanic immigrants, many of whom faced huge problems in their homelands, have more idealized views of the United States than Hispanics who were born in America do.

GOP calls Obama insensitive over stand WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Republican candidates around the country seized on President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support for the right of Muslims to build a mosque near ground zero, assailing him as an elitist who is insensitive to the families of the Sept. 11 victims. From statehouses to state fairs on Tuesday, Republican incumbents and challengers unleashed an almost unified line of criticism against the president days after he forcefully defended the construction of a $100 million Islamic center two blocks from the site of the 2001 terror attacks.

Recalling the emotion of that deadly day, Republicans said that while they respect religious freedom, the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position was cold and academic, lacking compassion and empathy for the victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is thinking like a lawyer and not like an American, making declarations without Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best interest in mind,â&#x20AC;? said Andrew Harris, a Republican running for Congress in Maryland against first-term Democratic Rep. Frank Kratovil. That line â&#x20AC;&#x201D; emerging as a boilerplate attack â&#x20AC;&#x201D; forced the endangered Democrat to respond.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, it seems to me those are issues related to local zoning laws and so forth, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a decision that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to make, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the federal government having any role in that,â&#x20AC;? Kratovil said. In Ohio, where the president was headed Wednesday as part of a three-state political swing, Republican congressional candidate Jim Renacci took issue with Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position and challenged his opponent, first-term Democrat John Boccieri, to do likewise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just because we may have the right to do something, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily

make it right to do it,â&#x20AC;? Renacci said. The Boccieri campaign and his congressional office didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately respond to requests for comment. Republicans who werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the ballot this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but possibly looking ahead to challenging Obama in 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sought to make it a political issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another example of him playing the role of law professor. ... We can have a great debate about the legal arguments. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about that,â&#x20AC;? Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty said in an interview Monday on Fox News.

Survey shows extent of TV time shifting By DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — If you’ve never time-shifted a prime-time television series — watched it later on a DVR, over the Internet or ordered it on demand — you’re now in the minority. A survey of viewers conducted on the eve of the new fall season quantifies what has become commonplace in millions of American homes: People are putting themselves in charge of their own TV schedule. Sixty-two percent of viewers across the country interviewed in a poll conducted for the nation’s largest cable company, Comcast Corp., said they have used time-shifting technology. Six in 10 people said they owned a digital video recorder. Among the new majority is Bethany Hardy, 36, of Arlington, Va., a writer and mother of a 3-year-old. She said she and her husband rarely watch live television. “It’s a generational thing,” she said. “All of my friends are pretty much the same way.” Hardy said it’s usually between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m., after the toddler has been put to bed and she’s cleaned the house a little, that she has time to think about catching up on “Mad Men,” ‘’Curb Your Enthu-

I just don’t have the time to figure out what shows are on at what time.” It’s the same thing in Amarillo, Texas, when Bryan Barcroft gets his 7-, 5- and 3-year-old children to sleep. He follows “Big Brother,” ‘’NCIS” and other shows on DVR. They tape “America’s Got Talent” and watch each week’s two episodes back-to-back with the kids, zipping through the commercials. “We could live without it, but we wouldn’t be inter-

ested in watching television, and that’s our main form of entertainment,” said Barcroft, a 35-year-old information technology specialist at a bank. Diana Kerekes, Comcast’s vice president of video services, said people at the company are struck by how rapidly the new technology has been adopted. That’s evident in both the survey’s findings and Comcast’s internal data of how the company’s products are used. “It’s huge,” she said. The survey found that 60 percent of viewers report time-shifting more than they did a year ago. Going back three years, 84 percent said they are doing it more often — more than half of the people saying

they use it “significantly more.” “The people who are doing this are not young kids who wear black and live in SoHo,” said Alan Wurtzel, chief researcher for NBC Universal. “They are mainstream.” Consider HBO’s experience this season: “Entourage” averages 1.78 million viewers for the live Sunday-night debut of each week’s episode. Another 1.87 million people watch a playback on DVR, 1.66 million order it later in the week on demand, and 2.3 million watch during other times it is shown on the network. Four of five people said they’d be watching some programs live this fall, Comcast’s survey said. But 41 percent said they’d also be watching some shows on DVR, 17 percent said they’d see some online and 16 percent said they’d order programming on demand. The upward trajectory of DVR ownership has been well chronicled, but fewer people are aware of how quickly on demand viewership is catching on, Kerekes said. Comcast, which has 23.2 million customers, gets some 350 million orders of VOD programming a month, she said. Television shows now surpass movies, music video and children’s programming, she said.

All cool for Ice-T in unlicensed driving case NEW YORK (AP) — Ice-T came out on top in a brush with real-life law and order Tuesday when prosecutors dropped unlicensed driving charges against the rapperturned-TV Ice-T detective. “That’s what I’m talking about — dismissed!” he called out in a Manhattan courtroom after a judge did just that to the misdemeanor case, which had prompted some choice words about police from the “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” actor. “Like I said from the gate, I never broke the law,” Ice-T said as he left court with his wife, Coco, a model. Ice-T, 52, was arrested after a traffic stop of his 2009 Cadillac on Manhattan’s West Side on July 20; he and his wife were on the road after taking their bulldog, Spartacus, to a vet for knee surgery. Police said they pulled the entertainer over for not wearing a seatbelt — which he contests — and a routine check showed his license was suspended. He said he had a valid New Jersey driver’s license and took to Twitter to call the officer who arrested him a “punk,” and a few considerably less polite things, for “arresting the Notorious Ice T for no seatbelt.” The actor has played De-

tective Fin Tutuola on “Law & Order: SVU” since 2000, but he hasn’t always identified with police: His 1992 song “Cop Killer” drew protests from police groups, among others. He said the song was an attempt to shed light on police brutality but ultimately agreed to remove the track from his album “Body Count.”

After overdose, Fantasia back to promoting new CD NEW YORK (AP) — A week after an overdose, Fantasia is back to promoting her new album. In a statement released Monday, Fantasia says she “can’t thank my fans enough for their prayers and support during such a challenging time.” The singer overdosed on aspirin and other pills at Fantasia her home in Charlotte last week. Her manager says she wasn’t trying to kill herself, but police believed they were responding to a suicide attempt. The overdose came days after a woman accused Fantasia in court documents of having an affair with her husband. The former “American Idol” winner will make TV appearances, including stops at “Good Morning America” and “Live with Regis & Kelly,” in the next couple weeks to promote her third album. The CD, titled “Back to Me,” is out on Aug. 24.

Erykah Badu gets fine, probation for Dallas strip DALLAS (AP) — A city spokesman says singer Erykah Badu has paid a $500 fine and will serve six months of probation for stripping during a music video shoot at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, where President John F. Kennedy was fatally shot in 1963. Badu Badu performed a walking striptease March 13 for her “Window Seat” music video. The video ends with a nude Badu falling to the ground as if she has been shot. Police in April cited her for disorderly conduct after a witness made a sworn complaint. A number of children were among the tourists and other random passersby seen on the video. Dallas city spokesman Frank Librio says Badu paid the fine Friday.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Obama administration, in a test of the Castro regimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appetite for reform, is considering easing travel restrictions to Cuba, U.S. and congressional officials said Tuesday. The move would leave intact the nearly 50-year-old embargo against the communist regime but would expand opportunities for American students, educators and researchers to visit Cuba, the officials said. The discussions to ease restrictions follow the release in July of the first batch of political prisoners Havana had pledged to free. President Barack Obama has said that he wants to reach out to Cuba and promote democracy there by easing travel and financial restrictions. But he has also said there must be political or economic reforms before the U.S. takes further steps to ease Cubaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s isolation. A decision could be announced before the end of next week. However, the officials cautioned that political considerations could hold up a decision, possibly until after Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midterm congressional elections. They spoke on condition of anonymity because internal deliberations continue on the scope and scale of the changes. Some in Congress have voiced opposition to a further easing in the restrictions, which Obama loosened last year to allow Cuban-Americans to visit and send money to relatives on the island. The new changes would extend some of those provisions to a broader group of Americans and could expand direct flights to Cuba, the officials said.

Bomber kills 61 in recruitment drive

Terrorist interrogation tapes found

BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Young men from some of Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poorest areas waited all night outside an army recruitment center, only to become easy prey Tuesday for a suicide bomber who killed 61 in the crowd. Desperate for jobs, dazed survivors rushed to get back in line after the attack. Officials quickly blamed alQaida for the deadliest single act of violence in the capital in months. Police said 125 people were wounded. Bodies of bloodied young men, some still clutching job applications in their hands, were scattered on the ground outside the headquartersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gate. Soldiers collected bits of flesh and stray hands and legs as frantic Iraqis showed up to search for relatives. The early morning bombing in central Baghdad starkly displayed Iraqi forcesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; failure to plug even the most obvious holes in their security two weeks before the formal end of the U.S. combat role in Iraq. Army and police recruitment centers have been frequent targets for militants, underscoring the determination of the applicants to risk their lives for work in a country with an unemployment rate estimated as high as 30 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to get this job at any cost in order to feed my family,â&#x20AC;? said Ali Ahmed, 34, a father of two who returned to the bloody street after taking a friend to the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no option but to come back to the line. If there were other job opportunities, I would not be here in the first place.â&#x20AC;? Ali Ibrahim, 21, who suffered minor shrapnel wounds in the blast, returned to the line after his release from the hospital.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The CIA has videotapes, after all, of interrogations in a secret overseas prison of admitted 9/11 plotter Ramzi Binalshibh. Discovered in a box under a desk at the CIA, the tapes could reveal how foreign governments aided the United States in holding and interrogating suspects. And they could complicate U.S. efforts to prosecute Binalshibh, who has been described as one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;key plot facilitatorsâ&#x20AC;? in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Apparently the tapes do not show harsh treatment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; unlike videos the agency destroyed of the questioning of other suspected terrorists. The two videotapes and one audiotape are believed to be the only existing recordings made within the clandestine prison system and could offer a revealing glimpse into a four-year global odyssey that ranged from Pakistan to Romania to Guantanamo Bay. The tapes depict Binalshibhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interrogation sessions in 2002 at a Moroccan-run facility the CIA used near Rabat, several current and former U.S. officials told The Associated Press. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because the videos remain a closely guarded secret. When the CIA destroyed its cache of 92 videos of two other al-Qaida operatives, Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Nashiri, being waterboarded in 2005, officials believed they had wiped

But in 2007, a staff member discovered a box tucked under a desk in the CIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Counterterrorism Center and pulled out the Binalshibh tapes. If the tapes surfaced at Binalshibhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trial, they could highlight Moroccoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in a counterterrorism program known as Greystone, which authorized the CIA to hold terrorists in secret prisons and shuttle them to other countries. The American Civil Liberties Union has asked the government to provide more information about the tapes as part of a long-running lawsuit involving the treatment of detainees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report is a stark reminder of how much information the government is still withholding about the Bush administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interrogation policies,â&#x20AC;? said Alexander Abdo, staff attorney with the ACLU National Security Project.

More significantly to the 38-year-old terror suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense, the tapes also could provide evidence of Binalshibhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mental state within the first months of his capture. In court documents, defense lawyers have been asking for medical records to see whether his years in CIA custody made him mentally unstable. He is being treated for schizophrenia with a potent cocktail of anti-

psychotic medications. With military trial commissions on hold while the Obama administration figures out what to do with a number of terror suspects, Binalshibh has never had a hearing on whether he is mentally fit to stand trial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If those tapes exist, they would be extremely relevant,â&#x20AC;? said Thomas A. Durkin, Binalshibhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s civilian lawyer. A Justice Department prosecutor who is already investigating whether destroying the Zubaydah and al-Nashiri tapes was illegal is now also looking into why the Binalshibh tapes were not disclosed. The CIA first publicly hinted at the existence of the tapes in 2007 in a letter to U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema in Virginia. The government twice denied having such tapes, recanting once they were discovered. But the government blacked out Binalshibhâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name from a public copy of the letter.

Jackets pick up win in 1st game By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

Thompson (left) and Branca

FAMED HOMER HITTER THOMPSON DIES AT 86 NEW YORK (AP) — Bobby Thomson, whose “Shot Heard ‘Round the World” in 1951 has echoed through baseball history as perhaps the game’s most famous home run, has died. He was 86. Thomson had been in failing health for several years. He died at home in Savannah, Ga., on Monday night, the Fox & Weeks funeral home said Tuesday. Thomson connected off Ralph Branca for a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning in the decisive Game 3 of a National League pennant playoff, lifting the New York Giants over the Brooklyn Dodgers. The drive into the left-field stands at the Polo Grounds and broadcaster Russ Hodges’ ecstatic call of “The Giants win the pennant!” remain one of the signature moments in major league history. A three-time All-Star as an infielder and outfielder, Thomson hit .270 with 264 career home runs and 1,026 RBIs from 1946-60 with several teams. Yet his drive into the left-field stands vaulted “The Flying Scot” to a place of almost mythic status. There have been plenty of historic home runs over the years — Bill Mazeroski, Kirk Gibson, Carlton Fisk and Joe Carter, to name a few — but Thomson’s shot remains remains the giant among them.

SANFORD — In just one match this season, the Lee County Yellow Jackets did something that they weren’t able to do in all of 2009. They won. The Yellow Jackets opened up the Brad Wicker era with a thrilling 5-4 victory over Richmond County on Monday night in Rockingham. “It feels pretty good,” said Wicker, who starts off his Yellow Jacket career as the new

soccer coach 1-0. “The kids were all excited, I was excited, everyone was excited. For us to get our first win in our first game is great. Hopefully, it’ll give us some momentum for the rest of the season.” Wicker After spending the last two seasons as the head coach of the West Lee Pride, Wicker was hired as the Yellow Jackets’ new soccer coach in early March. He replaces Stuart Creighton, who

resigned abruptly in the middle of the 2009 season without giving a reason. Wicker was a member of the 1999 Yellow Jacket team that won the Cap-8 Conference championship. As a coach, he led the Pride to a 26-2 record in his two seasons. The 2009 Yellow Jackets finished the season with an 0-21 record under Creighton and interim coach Danny Villa. So getting a win in their very first game of the 2010 season under their new coach had

NASCAR THIS BUD’S FOR HARVICK: NABS TOP SPONSOR

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Budweiser has teamed with Sprint Cup Series points leader Kevin Harvick as a primary sponsor for most of the 2011 season. Budweiser said Tuesday its familiar red paint scheme will be on Harvick’s No. 29 Chevrolet for 20 races next season, as well as the non-points events at Daytona and the annual All-Star race. The beer company will be an associate sponsor on the remaining 16 Sprint Cup races. Harvick and Richard Childress Racing lost current sponsor ShellPennzoil in April, and Harvick responded by snapping a 115-race winless streak that same week at Talladega.

MLB HARPER, NATS AGREE TO LAST-MINUTE DEAL

NEW YORK (AP) — Just like last year, the Washington Nationals and agent Scott Boras agreed to a contract for baseball’s top draft pick with just a few seconds to spare. Bryce Harper and the Washington Nationals settled on a $9.9 million, five-year contract just before Monday’s midnight deadline, one of 14 first-round selections to sign on the final day. Three first-round picks failed to sign, and the teams that chose them will get extra selections as compensation in the first round of next year’s draft.

Lee County knocks off rival Southern Lee in 4 volleyball sets in the first meeting between the two schools in any sport this season By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — With practically everybody back from the 2009 squad, Lee County volleyball coach Cindy Kelly is expecting big things from her program this season. So far, she’s off to a good start. The Yellow Jackets defeated crosstown rival Southern Lee 3-1 (25-23, 25-13, 18-25, 25-18) on Tuesday afternoon at Southern Lee High School in the season opener for both teams. “It’s always good to start off the year with a win,” said Kelly. “Hopefully, we can keep this going.” The Yellow Jackets have just one senior, eight juniors and five sophomores on their varsity roster for 2010. Sophomores were the main bulk of this team in 2009 and were

game. Just like last August, news helicopters followed his vehicle from a local airport and dozens of fans and media gathered at the entrance to Winter Park to greet him. “Circus in Winter Park,” tight end Visanthe Shiancoe tweeted.

Nothing the Vikings haven’t seen before. On Aug. 18, 2009, Favre boarded a private plane from Hattiesburg, Miss., and arrived in Minnesota. Coach Brad Childress

that these players, now with more experience, have learned something from last year. “We’re a year older now,” said Kelly. “I think we’re a little more mature now. These girls got that experience last year and I think it helped them. We need these experienced players to keep stepping up. I think we’re definitely going to be more mature this year.” The Yellow Jackets were led by junior Evan Langston, who was 22-of-24 in serves and finished with 23 assists and three kills in the match. Junior Halle Wells was 9-of-10 in serves. Sierra McRae, the lone senior on the team, finished with eight kills. Lee County will be back on the court on Thursday when it opens Tri-9 Conference play at Apex.

This time around, the Vikings sent three of Favre’s closest friends on the team — Jared Allen, Ryan Longwell and Steve Hutchinson — to Hattiesburg to bring him back for one more shot at a Super Bowl. Longwell filled the role of Favre’s chauffeur and three local television stations broke into programming to show the kicker’s black BMW SUV rolling down the road. “Helicopters acting like they are following O.J.,” Shiancoe tweeted. “Where is the bronco.” Longwell pulled into the team complex as the fans cheered and photographers snapped pictures, whisking him to a back entrance. “Brett Favre for President!!” receiver Bernard Berrian tweeted.

led by Alisha Adkins, who was 15-of-17 in serves with 11 digs. “This may be the best team we’ve ever had here at Southern Lee,” said new head coach Kate O’Connell, who takes over the reigns of the varsity program for former coach Don Richardson. “They’ve got the experience, leadership and intensity. These girls want it.” Kayla Sharpe had 10 digs. Angie Grant added four blocks and three kills while Colleen Pisano had two blocks and three kills. Marckee Zimmerman added 12 digs and three kills in the loss. With four seniors, O’Connell is excited about the future of the Cavaliers program. “This will be the first time that when these seniors graduate, we’ll actually have a team left,” said O’Connell. “We’ve graduated six or seven seniors in the past and have had to start over from scratch the next few years.” So far, in her first year as the varsity head coach, O’Connell has liked the attitude that her team is playing with. “The girls are working so hard,” said O’Connell. “They’re serious about what we’re trying to do. I think we’ve got the potential to have a pretty solid year.” Kelly certainly noticed how hard the Cavaliers worked. “Southern Lee is a great opponent,” said Kelly. “They’ve got a good group over there that works hard and plays hard every time. That’s something you like to see.” on Brett Favre’s possible return.” Presumably, Favre did not make the trip just to tell the Vikings he was retiring, but the team issued no formal confirmation that the star quarterback was taking back his starting job. He is, however, under contract — the second season in a two-year, $25 million deal. The Vikings instead issued a media schedule for Wednesday, announcing that coach Brad Childress will hold his regular news conference following practice. The team also said that a “media availability with QB Brett Favre is to be determined.” Favre will turn 41 in October and has flirted with retirement for years, while playing for the Green Bay Packers, the New York Jets and now the Vikings. He threw 33 touchdowns and seven interceptions last season to help Minnesota reach the NFC title game. The three-time MVP had been thinking about hanging it up again this year after injuring his ankle in January’s NFC championship loss to New Orleans. He had surgery on his left ankle in June, and told teammates and some team officials earlier in August that it hadn’t healed enough for him to return for a 20th NFL season.

to be very exciting for the young program, which has just three seniors. “The players have grown so much in the short time that we’ve been together,” said Wicker. “They work hard and they all want to get better. We’ve got a good group of talent — it’s just finding the right blend and making them play as a team.” Against Richmond County, the Yellow Jackets were led by Brady Heath’s two goals and three assists. Ben Grossfuss also had two goals and an assist. Trevor Harris scored a goal. William Carter chimed in with an assist of his own. “We played very well for our first match of the season,” said Wicker. The Raiders scored first to go up 1-0 about 10 minutes into the match. The Yellow Jackets responded with two goals to take a 2-1 lead before Richmond County tied it up again. The Yellow Jackets and Raiders battled to a 3-3 tie at the half. Ten minutes into the second, the Yellow Jackets took a 4-3 advantage before the Raiders evened it back up. Finally, the Yellow Jackets scored the final goal and held off the Raiders. “It was pretty back and forth the entire match,” said Wicker. “For us to keep bat-

tling the way we did and not lose our composure when we got the lead and lost it, that says a lot about this team. I’m very proud of the effort that these guys showed out there. We played without a lot of heart out there.” Wicker, his father Gary and West Lee coach Andrew Keller have been working with the Yellow Jackets on conditioning during their two-a-day practices this offseason. “They knew that we were going to be doing a lot of physical training,” said Wicker. “They didn’t really like the morning runs we’ve been doing, but it’s really helped us. It helped us against Richmond County. They were grabbing their shorts while we still had plenty of gas in the tank. We’ve got two more games this week, so we’ll find out what kind of shape we’re really in.” Along with their three seniors, the Yellow Jackets are counting on six juniors, four sophomores and four freshmen this season to help them start their rebuilding process. “We’re in a building mode,” said Wicker. “We just want to get better in each game and stay competitive. We also want to learn from each game. If we can keep learning and growing throughout the season, I think we’ll be OK. It’s just a matter of getting them to play as a team. We’ve won a game so that means we know how to win. We just

have to keep going now.” Since Wicker arrived, the young Yellow Jackets have been buying what he’s been selling. “They’ve got a lot of enthusiasm,” said Wicker. “They want to learn and they want to get better. During our two-a-days, they’ve done everything I’ve asked them to do.” As far as the Tri-9 Conference is concerned, Wicker says that it’s one of the best soccer leagues out there and that the competition is going to be tough. However, he still has high expectations for his young program. “I’d like to see us win at least half of our conference games,” said Wicker. “I don’t think that’s a stretch or out of reach by any stretch of the imagination. If we keep growing, building from each game and doing the things we’re supposed to, I think we can do it. We’ve got the potential and the talent to win a bunch more games, too.” The Yellow Jackets will travel to Harnett Central for a nonconference battle tonight. On Thursday they travel to Cavalier Stadium to battle crosstown rival Southern Lee. “Our kids are excited about playing soccer again on Wednesday,” said Wicker. “Playing three games in a week is hard, but we’re excited to get out there. We’ll see where we are at the end of this week.”

Sports Duke WRs confident passing game will click JOEDY McCREARY AP Sports Writer

DURHAM — Conner Vernon is out to prove Duke’s offense didn’t leave when Thad Lewis did. The most accomplished passer in school history may have graduated, but the guys who caught most of his throws are still around. The Blue Devils return three players who caught at least 50 balls apiece last year as part of the most productive passing offense in the ACC. Now Vernon, Donovan Varner and Austin Kelly want to make the transition easier for Lewis’ replacement, redshirt sophomore Sean Renfree. “We can all do it all, and we rely on each other when somebody needs a big play — it could go to anybody,” Vernon said Tuesday during the team’s media day. “We brought that faith into Renfree, also. If it’s third-and-8, he can have confidence in anybody to catch it.” Renfree has one of the ACC’s toughest jobs this season. He’s not only replacing a four-year starter and the only Duke quarterback to eclipse 10,000 career yards passing, but also is rehabilitating a torn ligament in his right knee. It certainly helps to have one of the best threesomes of receivers in the conference at his disposal: Varner fills the role of the big-play speedster, the 6-foot-2 Kelly provides a big target with what Renfree described as “a huge range to catch the football” and Vernon is the reliable possession receiver with solid ball skills. “Having a bunch of good receivers is a good problem to have, because you can pretty much go to whoever you want,” Renfree said. “We’re not looking to get the ball to one guy on third down. We can throw to whoever you want to.” All three ranked in the ACC’s top 10 in receptions per game last season. Varner led the league with 65 total grabs, Vernon ranked fifth with 55 and Kelly was 10th with 54. Vernon also averaged an ACCbest 87 yards receiving per game, while Vernon was sixth in the conference, averaging nearly 69 yards. “If things are going well in our offense — and Thad did a great job of using weapons — we’re going to have three or four guys catching a lot of balls,” coach David Cutcliffe said. They were the biggest beneficiaries of Lewis’ productivity — among Duke passers, only eventual NFL quarterback Anthony Dilweg in 1988 threw for more yards than Lewis’ 3,330 in 2009 — and are being counted upon to give Renfree plenty of options. Vernon said Renfree knows the offense very well. “Reading defenses and stuff like that, Sean is very good at it — moreso than Thaddeus, in my opinion,” Vernon said. “Thaddeus was more of the playmaking quarterback. Thaddeus made plays, but in my opinion, Sean is a very good quarterback and ... can read the defense.”

ON THE FRINGE

Johnson already looking ahead DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — On the day after a nightmare-inducing end to the PGA Championship, Dustin Johnson was on his boat off the coast of South Carolina, about as far from a bunker as he could possibly be. “Just kickin’ it,” Johnson said. In his vernacular, that meant throwing down cold beers and relaxing with his friends, not kicking himself for a two-stroke penalty in a bunker that became the defining moment at Whistling Straits and cost Johnson a chance in another major. Monday was filled with phone calls and text messages — Phil Mickelson, Camilo Villegas and Butch Harmon among them — to offer support and praise for the way Johnson handled such a kick in the gut. He went from standing over a par putt to win his first major to erasing the 5 on his card and changing it to a 7. Whether he should have been penalized two shots for touching the sand with his 4-iron on the 18th hole is not up for debate. Johnson knows the rules, which is why he didn’t even bother asking for a television replay. His mistake was not knowing he was in a bunker. It’s a safe bet all those fans didn’t know they were standing in a bunker, either. What should not be lost in the

Dustin Johnson, left, walks with rules official David Price on the 18th hole during the final round of the PGA Championship golf tournament Sunday at Whistling Straits in Haven, Wis. Johnson was later assessed a two-stroke penalty for grounding his club in a bunker on the hole. circus of Sunday is what the future holds for the 26-year-old American. Johnson played in the final group of two majors this year, and that was no accident. Over the last decade, only three other players have been in the last group of a major twice in the same year without winning — Ernie Els (2004), Phil Mickelson (2001) and David Duval (2000). That’s pretty stout company. “He could have won two majors this year,” said Butch Harmon,

who began working with Johnson in May. “As I told him in my text, ‘You proved to the golf world that you’re one of the best players in the world, not just another good player.’” Few other players are tested between the ears as much as they are inside the ropes. Harmon is not the least bit worried about how Johnson will recover from this, nor should anyone else be. “Look how he’s moved on from Pebble,” Harmon said. “He’s very resilient. He has an incredible de-

meanor to handle these things.” Two months ago, Johnson had a three-shot lead going into the final round of the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. He threw it all away with a triple bogey on the second hole, then dropped more shots trying too quickly to atone for his mistakes. He wound up with an 82, then faced questions the next two months about how long it took him to get over such a collapse. Apparently, “one day” wasn’t the answer anyone wanted. “It doesn’t bother me if people ask,” Johnson said. “I just don’t get why somebody wouldn’t believe me when I say I’m over it. You have to go forward. In every sport, you have to go forward.” Johnson looks back only to learn. The day after the U.S. Open and the day after the PGA Championship were entirely different, for no other reason than Johnson was asking most of the questions after Pebble Beach. Everyone else was doing it for him after Whistling Straits. “Monday after Pebble, I remember sitting around thinking, ‘I’ve got to get better. I’ve got to figure out a way to get it done in that situation.’ Obviously, I did that. I proved that Sunday,” Johnson said. “The experience at Pebble helped me so much on Sunday. I knew what to expect. I knew I would make mistakes because it’s going to happen. I knew I would still have plenty of holes to play.”

Adult daughter’s bedroom antics displease her mom

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Pick up the knowledge or experience required to reach your goals. Love and romance are highlighted, so take the time to nurture and build any relationship important to you. If someone wants more than what you have to offer, you are probably spending time with the wrong person. Your numbers are 5, 12, 18, 25, 29, 36, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Impulsive decisions based on emotions will not bode well. You have to give yourself a chance to digest what’s going on around you. There is no reason to feel pressured. The worst that can happen is that you have to wait for another opportunity. TAURUS (April 20May 20): Just because someone asks you to do something doesn’t mean you have to or should. Question whether it is an imposition and will compromise fulfilling your responsibilities. Apply a bit of pressure if you are having trouble getting your way. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make time for precious moments with children, your lover or a close friend. You must take care of your own needs. Socializing will bring you in contact with someone who can make your life much easier. Be proactive. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Avoid anyone looking for a fight. Make sure you do what’s required of you. Allowing someone to involve you in something you aren’t familiar with will cause anxiety. Prepare to say no. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s simple when you play by the rules and you give your all. You will attract attention as well as love and affection. This is a perfect time to take a pleasure trip or to let someone pamper you. You can turn any negative you face into a positive. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

WORD JUMBLE

22): Bypass any emotional madness going on around you. Concentrate on what will get you ahead, not what will hold you back. Timing is everything and, if you let your intuition lead you, it will not let you down. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your discipline and intelligence, coupled with an extra strong intuition, will help you find your way to the top. Don’t let emotions overwhelm you. Focus on getting the job done. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll be asked to help someone you’ve assisted in the past. If you don’t get any sort of payback, you may want to reconsider what you do for this person in the future. Don’t be fooled by a sob story. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You may have all the angles covered but watch out for the one person who is watching your every move. Cover every aspect of what needs to be done. Leave no room for mistakes. Be prepared for last-minute changes. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Avoid anyone with the potential or a reason to twist your words. An emotional matter will arise around a money deal or debt. Find a way to make it possible for everyone to feel comfortable with the decision. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A relationship that allows you to work together to obtain personal, financial and emotional growth is apparent. Don’t shy away from someone who wants to spend more time with you. Equality can be achieved if you work alongside someone with similar goals. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your unpredictable ways will unnerve some people and attract others. A partnership may start on shaky ground but, once you iron out the wrinkles, you will realize how much you complement one another. It’s time to put your ideas and talent on the line.

DEAR ABBY: My adult daughter, “Suzie,” spent the weekend at our home, bringing along her boyfriend of six months. This was “Liam’s” first visit. I allowed them to share Suzie’s old bedroom, which we have converted into a family office. We keep a large futon in there for my daughter when she comes to visit. I didn’t make a big deal out of where Liam and Suzie should sleep because I didn’t want to embarrass them, and I was sure there would be no “hanky-panky” because our bedroom is right across the hall. Well, I was wrong. In the middle of the night I was awakened by Suzie’s squeals and moans. Fortunately, my husband is a sound sleeper. The next morning, while my husband was out on his daily run, I let the kids have it — to the point of slapping Liam around a little. I told Suzie her actions were disrespectful and I was highly disappointed in her. Suzie and I are no longer speaking and I am miserable. Do you think I overreacted? Did I silently give permission for such behavior by allowing them to share the same futon? And did Liam really think it would be OK to have sex in my home? — MISERABLE MOM IN WISCONSIN DEAR MISERABLE MOM: I will respond to your questions in reverse order. The answers are yes,

His dating history is “sketchy” — he claims never to have had a serious relationship with a woman. When I asked him why he has never lived on his own, he told me he feels comfortable living with his parents. Dave and I have enjoyed a strictly platonic relationship for nearly a year. He recently told me he’s in love with me and wants us to be exclusive, with marriage as the ultimate outcome. I have been divorced for 20 years. My children are independent, thriving adults. Marrying again is not a priority in my life. Dave is kind, sensitive and thoughtful. I care for him deeply,

DEAR JADED: The situation you have described is unusual, but it doesn’t necessarily indicate that Dave is “hiding” anything. He could be a simple man who enjoys the living arrangement he has with his folks — and the lowest sex drive in New Jersey. Before making any hard and fast decisions, you and Dave need to have some frank, serious and ongoing conversations. You also need to determine how his parents will feel about “losing” their son after 49 years of togetherness. o DEAR ABBY: I have three daughters who seem to be incapable of functioning as adults. None of them is employed or in school. My oldest is a single parent of two kids she doesn’t want. I love my grandkids and I know I should take them, but I raised my daughters and feel I’m too old to be Dad to toddlers again. Am I being selfish? — DAD OF THREE DAUGHTERS IN NEBRASKA DEAR DAD: No, you are being realistic.

Pa. fan turns Paul McCartney autograph into tattoo

two runaways, to his ranch in Bly, Ore., on Sunday.

WEST CHESTER, Pa. (AP) — Call it a signature in very permanent ink. A Pennsylvania woman took a sign to Paul McCartney’s show Sunday in Philadelphia requesting he autograph her back with a marker. McCartney called Rose Ann Belluso up on stage and obliged, and she decided to make the moment last forever. She had McCartney’s signature permanently etched onto her body at Extreme Ink Tattoo Parlor in West Chester. A tattoo artist went over the signature on Monday. Belluso, of Downingtown, says the painful procedure was a no-brainer. She says getting McCartney’s autograph was the best experience of her life, behind only the birth of her two sons. It’s also her first tattoo.

Police warn man against undressing while driving

2 zebras wander streets of Northern Calif suburb CARMICHAEL, Calif. (AP) — Two zebras are safe after a wild five-hour romp through the streets of a Northern California suburb over the weekend. The zebras were being loaded onto a truck Saturday evening in Carmichael, east of Sacramento, when they were spooked by dogs and went running in opposite directions. Confused residents reported zebra sightings throughout the downtown area until sheriff’s deputies were able to round them up. Bystanders helped corral one after it was hit by a car, suffering only a superficial cut. The second was found in an apartment complex’s pool. Their owner, Michael Mastagni, transported his entire herd of seven zebras, including the

BROOKFIELD, Wis. (AP) — A driver who tried to change his sweaty clothes while driving through a Milwaukee suburb was stopped by police but let off with a warning. Police said that when they pulled the 54-year-old over in Brookfield Aug. 13, he complained he was uncomfortable in his clothes because he had spent a sweltering day at the Wisconsin State Fair. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that police warned the man against indecent exposure and advised him to finish changing at home.

Mother and son charged in theft of video games CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- Police in Salem, N.H., have charged a mother-and-son team with the theft of more than $1,600 worth of video games from a Best Buy store. Police said 64-year-old Luise LaQuerre and her 20-year-old son, Christopher Andrukaitis, both of Amesbury, Mass., were charged with felony theft after store security officers on Monday spotted the son stuffing video games into a cloth bag carried by his mother. They were stopped when they left the store. Officers found in their car an additional trove of video games believed to have been stolen earlier in the day from the same store. Police put the value of the video games at $1,670. Both suspects were released on bail. They could not immediately be reached for comment.

Those who ignore God never win Q: Is it true that if we live a bad life, then some day it’ll catch up with us and God will make us pay for what we’ve done? Some of the meanest people I know are still successful. -- L.P. A: We live in a fallen, imperfect world -- a world that’s been scarred and twisted by human sin. Evil is real, and it’ll always be with us until Christ returns to establish His Kingdom of perfect righteousness. But that doesn’t mean God doesn’t judge sin right now — because He does. Yes, sometimes it looks like people who ignore God are on the winning side. But if you watch closely you’ll realize it isn’t true — not in the long run. The Bible says, “You may be sure that your sin will find you out” (Numbers 32:23). Sometimes it’s obvious. Perhaps you’ve seen someone live an immoral life, but eventually they pay the price — a broken marriage, or broken health, or broken reputation. Or someone may go through life cheating others and breaking their promises — only to be rejected and lonely because people want nothing to do with them. The Bible warns, “The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction” (Galatians 6:8). But sometimes it’s not so obvious; some people seem to get by with their evil ways until the day they die. But notice two things. First, down inside they pay a terrible price — a price of insecurity and guilt that won’t go away. Second, some day they must face God — whether they believe it or not. Then it’ll be too late for them to change.

he brain of a woman doesn’t always make all that much sense. I am aware of that and happy to admit it. It is good, however, to have confirmation that your brain isn’t the only one that works in a dysfunctional sort of a way. Over the past few months Ross has started working out. While I know that should make me happy and proud of him, it has frustrated me. I have tried to figure out why I had this underlying feeling of bitterINSIDE ness when See our he talks weekly Dining about Guide for working local menu out, but options I haven’t Pages 4-5C been able to make sense of it in my head. Similarly, when I go to put a dab of butter in the vegetables at dinner, he’ll ask to serve his before I add the butter. While I know I should be proud of him for being healthy (and maybe go ahead and skip the butter myself ), it just brings up those same feelings of frustration. Then, like women do, I get frustrated at myself for being frustrated. Which means I am just a big ol’ mess. A few weeks ago while taking a day trip for work, I tuned into a morning radio show. A man called in explaining that he had been working out and was in the best shape of his life. Much to his dismay, instead of being excited for him, his wife was annoyed with him. The female host of the show explained that while it doesn’t make sense, when the man in the relationship is taking better care of himself, it automatically makes us feel guilty for not doing so. We then tend to express this in frustration and/or anger. While it sure sounds ridiculous when you hear someone else talk about it, I felt better knowing that I wasn’t the only crazy one

Cowgirls rack up the ribbons Special to The Herald

ver the past year, local young cowgirls from the Triple H Ranch in Sanford have worked hard with their trainer and coach, Candice Haase, to develop their horses, hone their riding skills and refine their gaming techniques.

And their hard work, dedication and motivation has paid off tremendously. The girls had a terrific showing at the last six Central Carolina Barrel Racers Horse Shows in Fuquay-Varina, the N.C. State Fair Youth Day, the 4-H District finals in Lake Waccamaw, the 2010 National Barrel Horse Association shows

and the 4-H State Finals at the Governor Hunt Horse Complex in Raleigh. The Triple H Ranch cowgirls competed in the N.C. State Fair Youth Day last October, and all of them placed in the Top 10 out of some 30 competitors in their events. For most of the girls, 2009 was their first year as competitors.

Amanda Dickens, 19; Taylor May, 16; Shannon Read, 13; Autumn Rhodes, 12; and Claire Cummings, 8, have been competing semi-professionally with the National Barrel Horse Association this year. Autumn, Amanda and Shannon competed in their first big show,

Savvy Senior

A silent killer that seniors can prevent DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: Can you tell me about abdominal aortic aneurysms? My father died from one about nine years ago at the age of 76, and I’m wondering how that may increase my risk. What can you tell me? — FEELING FINE DEAR FINE: While you don’t hear much about them, abdominal aortic aneurysms are extremely dangerous and the third leading cause of death in men over 60. They also tend to run in families, so having had a parent with this condition makes you much more vulnerable yourself. Here’s what you should know.

Silent killer An abdominal aortic aneurysm (or AAA) is a weak area in the lower portion of the aorta, which is the major artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. As blood flows through the aorta, the weak area bulges like a balloon and can burst if it gets too big, causing life-threatening internal bleeding. In fact, nearly 80 percent of AAA’s that rupture are fatal, but the good news is that more than nine out of 10 that are detected through screenings are treatable. The problem with AAA’s is that - because they usually start small

and enlarge slowly - they rarely show any symptoms. That is why screening is crucial. The most common symptoms, however, (with enlarged AAA’s) may be a throbbing, or pulsation in the abdomen, or sometimes abdominal or lower back pain occurs.

Who’s at risk? Around 200,000 people are diagnosed with AAA each year, but studies suggest that 1 in 20 Americans age 60 and older (over 2 million people) may have an AAA and not even know it. Here are the factors that can boost your risks: o Age: Your risk of getting an AAA increases significantly after age 60 in men, and after age 70 in women. o Gender: AAA’s are five to 10 times more After a death is the question, “What’s next-literally.” Miller Boles Funeral Home will provide and evening seminar that will answer any questions you may have in regards to funeral service and cremation preplanning.. n Many older adults experience concerns about falling and restrict their activities. “A Matter of Balance” is an award-winning program designed to manage falls and increase activity levels.

common in men than in women. o Family history: Having a parent or sibling who has had an AAA can increase your risk to around one in four. o Smoking: Ninety percent of people with AAA’s smoke or have smoked. This is the number one risk factor and one you can avoid. o Health factors: Atherosclerosis also known as hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure (140/90 or higher) and high cholesterol levels also increase your risk.

Get screened The best way to detect an AAA is to get a simple, painless, 10-minute ultrasound screening test. All men over age 65 that have ever smoked, and anyone over 65 that have a firstdegree relative (father, mother or sibling) who has had an AAA should be tested. Talk to your doctor about your risks and getting screened. You should also know that Medicare covers a one-time, free AAA screening to new enrollees. The screening, however, needs to be done within the first 12 months you have Medicare Part B. Men who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes during their life, and men and women with a family history of AAA qualify for the screening.

Treatment The treatment for an AAA will depend on the size of the aneurysm, its rate of growth and your general health. If caught in the early stages when the aneurysm is small, it can be monitored and treated with medication. However, if it is large or enlarging rapidly you’ll probably need surgery.

A healthy take on grilled chicken Caesar salad

Never chase peas around your steak plate again

By JIM ROMANOFF

Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 For the steak: 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 2 tablespoons lime juice 1/4 cup olive oil 4 cloves garlic Pinch red pepper flakes 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns 1 1/4 pounds tri-tip or sirloin steak, trimmed of fat and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices For the pea hummus: 8-ounce bag fresh or frozen peas (thawed and drained, if frozen)

4 cloves garlic 1 teaspoon lime juice 4 Peppadew peppers (or other mildly sweet and spicy peppers) Salt and ground black pepper, to taste 4 thick slices sourdough bread 2 tablespoons butter In a blender, combine the vinegar, lime juice, oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and peppercorns. Blend until mostly smooth, then pour into a medium stainless steel or other non-reactive bowl. Add the steak, turn to coat evenly, then refrigerate for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the pea hummus. Fill a medium bowl with ice and cold water. In a small saucepan, bring about 1/2 inch of water to a boil. Add the peas and steam for 3 minutes. Drain and transfer the peas to the ice water. When the peas are cooled, drain again and transfer to a food processor. Add the garlic, lime juice and Peppadews. Pulse until chunky smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat a grill to high. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter over each slice of bread, then grill briefly to toast. Set aside. Grill the steak for 2 to 3 minutes, or until desired doneness. To serve, slather pea hummus over each slice of bread, then top with steak.

If your idea of a virtuous dinner out is ordering the grilled chicken Caesar salad, you should prepare yourself for some disappointment. These salads may sound light, but they can pack some serious fat and calories. At one national chain restaurant, for example, the grilled chicken Caesar salad serves up more than 1,000 calories and 64 grams of fat. These salads sound healthy because the basic components are â&#x20AC;&#x201D; greens and boneless, skinless chicken breast. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when you dump on buttery croutons, shredded cheese, fatty dressings and crumbled bacon that the trouble starts. But at home you can make a dinner-sized salad to feel good about. This grilled chicken salad is tossed with a low-fat dressing made with the richly flavored pulp of roasted garlic (an excellent stand-in for fat). For this dressing, which can be made up to two days in advance and stored, covered, in the refrigerator, the roasted garlic is pureed with creamy nonfat yogurt and just a few tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. The dressing gets an added burst of flavor from a small amount of Parmesan cheese as well as a few anchovy fillets, which are traditional

This pepper-crusted chicken salad with roasted garlic Caesar dressing keeps the whole salad both healthy and delicious. Caesar ingredients. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fear the anchovies.

wine vinegar 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 2 anchovy fillets, rinsed Salt and ground black pepper, to taste For the salad: 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts trimmed of fat 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste Ground black pepper, to taste 8 cups washed, dried and torn romaine lettuce 1 cup fat-free croutons Shredded Parmesan cheese, for garnish (optional) Lemon wedges Heat the oven to 400 F. To make the dressing, on a cutting board, using a sharp knife, slice about 1/2-inch off the top of each head of garlic, exposing the individual cloves. Set each head on a square of foil and sprinkle with a tablespoon of water. Pinch together the edges of the foil to create a packet. Roast for 45 minutes. Unwrap and let cool slightly before squeezing the pulp from the cloves. In the bowl of a food pro-

cessor or blender, combine the roasted garlic pulp, yogurt, cheese, oil, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard and anchovies. Process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use. To make the salad, heat a gas grill to medium-high or light a charcoal fire. Rub the chicken with oil and season with salt. Coat the outsides heavily with pepper. Grill the chicken until browned and a thermometer reads 165 F at the center. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce and croutons. Toss with 1/2 cup of the dressing, then divide among 4 plates. Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch slices and arrange over the salad. Garnish with shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Steak and peas go so nicely together, but who wants to chase peas around their plate with a fork? I decided to tinker a bit and see if I could find a better way to marry these fine summer foods. The result was this grillfriendly open-face sandwich that seasons sirloin with a peppery garliclime marinade, then serves it over toasted sourdough slathered with a mildly spicy hummus made from peas. The combination is fresh and jammed with flavor. If peas arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your thing, you could substitute guacamole for the hummus, or even a more traditional chickpea hummus (purchased or otherwise). While the pea hummus is best prepared just before serving, the steak can be marinated for about to about 8 hours.

4-H News and Notes Rockin Riders

The Rockin’ Riders last meeting was all about learning horse anatomy. Body parts were listed on cards and the kids would draw them out of a bucket and figure out where on the horse they went. If they didn’t know the body part, the group would look it up on a chart. Once they figured it out, they were allowed to stick the card on an actual mare, allowing them to actually see the parts of a horse labeled on a real live animal. They all enjoyed this activity and pictures were taken when we finished with all the kids standing beside the mare with all the cards stuck all over her. We then let the kids lead the horses around, after showing them how to hold the lead rope properly and brush the animal. When it got good and hot, the kids went swimming and we cooked hotdogs.

Homegrown Kids The month of July proved to be very productive for the Homegrown Kids. We had our regular meeting where we made wooden shelves, and with all the winners from the State Presentations last month, I know they will get put to good use displaying the many awards and trophies! In our group we are pleased to say that we had one state gold winner, Beth Furry. Two members winning silver: Abby Furry and Savannah Shockey and two others that took bronze: Sam Ward and Samuel Cornog. Everyone worked hard and did well at State Finals in Raleigh. Congratulations to all of our members that participated in presentations and the talent contest .We are looking forward to tie-dye in or upcoming August meeting and planning for the upcoming Lee Regional Fair in September.

Crazy Quilters

The Crazy Quilters 4-H Club graduated three members during commencement services held in June. These members included Lark Williams from the Homeschoolers group, Kim McMillian from Southern Lee (both charter members) and Haley Simmonds from Southern Lee. We wish these young ladies the best as they attend UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Greensboro and UNC-Charlotte, respectfully. During the 4-H Community Service week held in May, the club members made post-surgical tote bags for mastectomy patients under the care of Gywn Sandlin, Breast Health Navigator at CCH. This will be an ongoing project for the club throughout 2010. Although the club has taken the summer off from regular meetings, several members did come and volunteer as part of the 4-H Summer Fun classes. Taylor Craig, Hannah Welborn and Lark Williams were invaluable volunteers for the Sewing Camp, Quilt Camp I and Craft Classes. If you like sewing and have an interest in sewing/quilting, we are currently looking for new members to join. We meet on the third Saturday of each month from 1:00 - 4:00 at the McSwain Center. We would like to invite you to our next meeting held September 18th. If interested, please send an email to uncquiltfan@gmail.com for more information.

Your Future Kids There has been quite a lot going on with “Your Future…. Kids” 4-H Club. We recently took a trip to the Aurora Fossil Museum in Aurora N.C. to dig for fossils and came away with many cool sharks teeth and even some fossils. The kids learned a lot about different fossils and teeth, and tried to identify what species each might belong to. Although it was hot, both parents and kids agreed that it was an enjoyable and memorable experience. We are excited for our upcoming meeting as we are planning to meet at the Extension Center and learn about cooking in the kitchen.

Maters & Taters This month the Maters n’ Taters 4-H Club went to Dale’s Greenhouse. There are a lot of cool annual, perennial and exotic plants at Dale’s Greenhouse and they take lots and lots of work to grow. Some of the plants have to be planted about one or two years before they can be sold. This summer, they have a chrysanthemum area with over 4000 cuttings. They have to water them all, and by the time they are finished they have to do it all over again! This is their big fall seller. Though working at Dale’s Greenhouse looks easy, it is a lot of hard work. At Dale’s Greenhouse the work never ends and we were thankful they let us come and visit!

Heritage rose fans cite beauty, aroma, hardiness By DEAN FOSDICK For The Associated Press

Mike Shoup is a selfdescribed “rose rustler,” but that doesn’t make him an outlaw. He rides herd on the many old garden roses growing wild in the countryside, corralling stray and neglected blooms to display in new settings. “Generally when you think of a rose rustler, you conjure up an image of a Texan wearing a black outfit, astride a black horse and with a shovel on his shoulder pillaging roses from outof-the-way places,” said Shoup, owner of the Antique Rose Emporium in Brenham, Texas. “But it’s just the opposite. What we try to do is find the

in Tyrell County and is named after the area in which it was found. Although many people request the cultivars ‘Scuppernong’ or ‘Thomas’, there are improved selections. ‘Carlos’, ‘Doreen’, ‘Magnolia’, ‘Nesbitt’, ‘Noble’, ‘Regale’, and ‘Triumph’ are examples of perfect-flowered muscadine cultivars. This means that the vines are self-fruitful and will not require a pollinator. ‘Fry’, ‘Higgins’, ‘Scuppernong’, ‘Jumbo’, and ‘Supreme’ are examples of female-flowered muscadine cultivars. This means you will have to plant a perfect-flowered cultivar (such as one listed above) in addition to the female cultivar to ensure fruit set. Before planting muscadines, test the soil to

you to determine if lime will need to be applied during the fall or winter in preparing for the following spring and summer’s crop. When applying lime you should always apply the recommended amount provided with the soil test report. Always apply the recommended amount, but never apply over two tons of lime per acre per year. If the soil test report calls for more than two tons of lime, then divide your applications over a yearly basis until you have fulfilled the liming recommendation. Since lime is slow to take effect, liming in the autumn and winter are the ideal times to ensure a greater growing response

kinds of roses that make gardening easy.” Shoup has built a thriving business from the heritage roses he’s discovered, restored and then reintroduced to modern-day gardeners. “We find them in neglected cemeteries, abandoned farmsteads, along fence lines, roadsides and other spots where they’ve survived for years without any care,” Shoup said. “Cemeteries are the most fruitful hunting grounds. Families would often plant a favorite rose to honor their loved ones.” Old garden, heritage and antique roses are interchangeable terms, but generally describe varieties introduced into commerce before 1867.

“People are collecting the heirlooms again because they have classic shapes,” said Greg Stack, an extension horticulturist with the University of Illinois. “They have a loose, open form that blends well with other perennials or in mixed borders. Grandifloras or hybrid tea roses tend to grow taller and don’t seem to fit in.” Shoup calls heirloom roses “beautiful, longblooming and resilient, making them the perfect modern-day garden plant.” ‘’There’s a great diversity,” he said. “Every (old) rose has its own personality in the way it grows or blooms. They’ve been able to tolerate blizzards, drought and the tough-

est conditions Texas has to offer. They’re the best of the best, and troublefree for homeowners to grow.” And then there’s their perfume. “Unlike modern varieties, most old roses come with a fragrance that’s as important as their appearance,” Shoup said. “Once you smell that rose, you’ll always have its scent in your memory.” Rose rustlers from around the country operate under a gatherer’s code of ethics. Cuttings may take longer to develop than, say, placing bare-root bushes into the ground, but that practice leaves the parent plants intact while producing progeny.

determine if nutrients need to be added or the pH needs to be adjusted. Soil sample kits are available at our Center. Muscadines can tolerate a wide range of soils; however, a well-draining soil is essential. Choose a site that gets direct sunlight; try to avoid shaded areas as this can reduce yield. Before planting the grapes, choose the type of trellis system you will use. Muscadines need to be supported on a trellis for maximum fruit production. For backyard grapes, design a trellis system that establishes permanent cordons (arms) and produces grapes at a height that is easy to harvest. Remember, you will need to prune the vine annually to maintain maximum production. One trellis system is called the single-wire trellis. For this system, a

single wire is stretched 5 to 6 feet above the ground on posts and is anchored on each end. Another option is a double-wire system. In this system, four-foot cross arms are attached to posts to support the double wires (the wires are on the same horizontal plane). This system can yield about 30% more than a singlewire trellis. However, a double-wire system in which the wires are in the same vertical plane is not recommended due to shading on the lower wire. Wait to plant muscadines until there is a slim chance of below freezing temperatures in the spring. Place vines at least 10 feet apart – 20 feet is ideal. If you are planting more than one row, space rows at least 8 feet apart and wider for any special equipment you might want to get through the area. Be sure to water

during dry periods for the first two years. Although planting muscadines occurs in the spring, it is time to start planning if you want to grow grapes. Be on the lookout, muscadines will be ready for harvest soon! If you are new to the South, stop by a local vineyard to give one a try. For more information on growing muscadines, reference HIL 8203: Muscadine Grapes in the Home Garden or contact our Center at 775-5624.

from your plants in the spring and summer. As the summer is winding down you will want to start taking and submitting samples. The reason for sampling now is that the Soil Testing Lab is not over run with samples from farmers. To avoid having to wait several weeks to receive a soil test report, make sure you are taking samples now, or plan to have samples submitted by the end of September. After September farmer samples will begin to pour into the Soil Testing Lab. You can pick up soil sample boxes at the Cooperative Extension Office here in Lee County along with sample data sheets to be submitted with the boxes. We here at the Extension Office are always ready to assist with explain-

ing sampling techniques and how to submit your samples. Once the soil samples have been submitted you can expect a turn around time of about a week. If you are planning on planting a cover crop in the winter to cover your garden or wanting to amend the nutrients in your lawn or pasture then it is never to soon to lime. However, if you are not going to replant a winter cover crop or establish cool season vegetation, then applying the recommended fertilizers will not be necessary until right before or after you plant in the spring or summer. One good way to maximize the efficacy of your lime is to incorporate the lime into the soil through tillage. If you are tilling in the lime in the autumn or winter, be sure

to establish a cover crop or some type of ground cover to avoid soil runoff, leaching, and sediment erosion. This ground cover will also ensure that your lime is effective and will increase the health of your soil. If you decide to collect submit samples, you will no longer receive a paper copy of the soil test report via mail. Instead you will either receive an email notifying you that your test report is ready to view online, or you can access the report online through the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services web page. For assistance in correct soil sampling techniques, and accessing your reports online or interpreting recommendations, then someone here at the Extension Office is always ready to help.

Eaten Alive: 5-year battle with flesh-eating germ

BALTIMORE (AP) — Waking from a fog of anesthesia, Sandy Wilson found she was a patient in one of the hospitals where she worked as a nurse. She remembered having a baby, and being told she had gotten an infection. But nothing could prepare her for what lurked beneath the sheets. Flesh-eating bacteria were eating her alive. “When I looked down at my belly, basically all the skin was gone and I could see my internal organs,” she said. “I remember seeing my intestines. I thought, ‘There’s no way I can live like this ... This is a death sentence.’” In all of medicine, few infections are as feared as this one. It strikes out of the blue, especially obese people, diabetics, cancer patients, transplant recipients and others with weak immune systems — a growing group of Americans. It kills 20 percent of its victims and horribly disfigures others. It used to be caused almost exclusively by one type of strep bacteria. Now there’s a scary trend: drug-resistant superbugs like the staph germ MRSA increasingly are able to make “flesh-eating” toxins and cause nightmarish infections like Wilson’s. To treat it, doctors cut away dead tissue, but the infection often advances after they think they’ve gotten it all. Inch by inch, it devoured the 34-year-old Wilson. Spleen, gall bladder, appendix. Part of her stomach and ultimately, all of her intestines.

Sandy Wilson gives her son, Christopher, 5, a taste of his birthday cake’s frosting before the party in Columbia, Md. After caesarian section surgery to deliver him, she developed necrotizing fasciitis, a flesh eating infection, and was in hospitals for years, unable to care for him. Finally healthy, Wilson threw her son his first birthday party planned by his mother. Over five years, she had countless surgeries, including an unusual organ transplant. For much of that time, she lived in hospitals and rehabilitation centers, fed by tubes and unable to give her young son a bath, to read him a bedtime story, to tuck him in at night. She lost her marriage and endured unimaginable pain. “It was like I was rotting from the inside out,” she said. “It was like something out of a very strange science fiction movie,” said her mother, Dottie Howarth of Columbia, Md., also a nurse. “I was very afraid that she would not make it through this.” No one knows how Wilson got necrotizing fasciitis, (fash-ee-EYEtis), the infection’s formal name. The ordeal began after her son, Christopher, was born by

cesarean section on April 1, 2005. She developed a clotting problem and was given blood components pooled from hundreds of donors. After several weeks, she went home but lasted only two days. Fluid built up around her C-section and her blood pressure plunged. She sought emergency care at an Annapolis hospital and was rushed into surgery, but doctors quickly closed her up once they realized what she had. They sent her to Baltimore’s Shock Trauma Center, a state-of-theart hospital specializing in the most dire, lifethreatening cases. It is part of the University of Maryland Medical Center where Wilson worked as a pediatric emergency nurse. “I remember vividly” how sick she was, said Dr. Thomas Scalea, Shock

Trauma’s physician-inchief. “Some people don’t live. Sometimes you do the best you can do and the disease is bigger than the medical care. The fact that she was a nurse at our place, that she had just had a baby, all of that made it very, very hard.” For two weeks, Wilson was kept sedated while surgeons sliced away rotten tissue and drained vile fluid. “I can’t tell you the number of times I operated on her; probably 40, 50 times,” Scalea said. “Every time we went back, we just hadn’t gotten control.” Once Wilson was stable, the doctors gathered her family to wake her and break the news. Wilson remembers peering under her hospital gown and seeing what looked like yellow Saran Wrap over her intestines. Loopy from the painkillers, she thought she was in a sci-fi movie “and that they were turning me into a robot.” She feared her baby was dead, that it was somehow her fault, and that she was being punished. Her family brought him to see her through a window, but she accused them of borrowing a baby from the hospital. They took pictures of Christopher at home with newspapers showing the current date, like kidnappers do to prove a captive is alive. She remained unconvinced. Finally, when he was several months old, they put her in isolation gowns and brought him to a conference room. A tiny arm poked out of his blanket.

longer. Think about it. It makes sense that eating foods that fill up your belly but are not easily digested will fend off hunger more than foods (white bread, for example) that are digested quickly in the small intestine. The IOM goes on to say that legumes (beans, peas, and lentils) are the single largest source of naturally occurring resistant starch. In addition, “Green bananas and cooled, cooked potatoes can provide a significant amount of resistant starch.” And there are many other foods that are considered resistant starches, including regular bananas, barley, rye bread, whole-wheat pasta, brown rice, and oatmeal. The Carb Lovers Diet shows how adding resistant starch to your diet can help you lose and control your weight by making you feel fuller longer. Here are a few great resistant starch recipes pulled right from the pages of the book.
