BUXTON — The last ferry left for the mainland and coastal residents hunkered down at home as Hurricane Earl closed in with 110 mph winds late Thursday on North Carolina’s dangerously exposed Outer Banks, the first and potentially most destructive stop on the storm’s projected journey up the Eastern Seaboard. The first bands of heavy rain hit the long ribbon of barrier islands Thursday night. The downpours started in several bursts as the storm’s so-called rain shield whirled into the southeasternmost tip of the Outer Banks. Hurricane Earl’s winds were slowing, from 140 mph early Thursday to 110 mph, Category

SANFORD — Fans on both sides at tonight’s Brick City Bowl might show up to the big game donning T-shirts and hats with their school’s name and mascot. But the students at Southern Lee High School have a new way to show their spirit thanks to the students in the school’s marketing and business clubs. Inspired by the “Terrible Towel” of the Pittsburgh Steelers, senior Taylor Bradian developed the “Tenacious Towel,” a bright orange towel with blue lettering that South-

ern Lee Cavaliers fans can wave in support of their team. The towels can be purchased for $4 at The Saber Store, Southern Lee’s new spirit store.

“We’re hoping to see a sea of orange with those this weekend,” said Shanna Roberts, adviser to FBLA, the school’s business club. Roberts said FBLA and

DECA, the school’s marketing club, have been trying to find more ways to work together, and about a year ago they began discussing the possibility of starting a spirit store where students could purchase Southern Lee merchandise. “Previously we would have a spirit trailer just during the home games,” Roberts said. “We thought (The Saber Store) was a good way to incorporate education with the fans of Southern Lee High School.” Located across from the cafeteria, The Saber Store is open every morning before

Almanac Today is Friday, Sept. 3, the 246th day of 2010. There are 119 days left in the year.

This day in history: On Sept. 3, 1939, Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand declared war on Germany, two days after the Nazi invasion of Poland. A German U-boat torpedoed and sank the British liner SS Athenia some 250 miles off the Irish coast, killing more than 100 out of the 1,400 or so people on board. In 1189, England’s King Richard I (the Lion-Hearted) was crowned in Westminster Abbey. In 1609, English explorer Henry Hudson and his crew aboard the Half Moon entered present-day New York Harbor and began sailing up the river that now bears his name. (They reached present-day Albany before turning back.) In 1658, Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of England, died in London. In 1783, representatives of the United States and Britain signed the Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. In 1940, Artie Shaw and his Gramercy Five recorded “Summit Ridge Drive” and “Special Delivery Stomp” for RCA Victor. In 1943, the British Eighth Army invaded Italy during World War II, the same day Italy signed a secret armistice with the Allies. In 1967, Nguyen Van Thieu was elected president of South Vietnam under a new constitution. Motorists in Sweden began driving on the right-hand side of the road instead of the left. In 1970, legendary football coach Vince Lombardi, 57, died in Washington, D.C. In 1976, America’s Viking 2 lander touched down on Mars to take the first close-up, color photographs of the planet’s surface.

HAVEN offices broken into, two computers taken

By JENNIFER GENTILE jgentile@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — One of the greatest days in the history of HAVEN in Lee County ended on the sourest of notes for the local nonprofit. Helping Abuse and Violence End Now, an organization that provides services, including shelter, to victims of sexual and domestic abuse, had its main offices on Carthage Street broken into Wednesday night, according to Associate Director Tina McNeill. The thief or thieves stole two computers, a printer and several personal belongings from employees’ desks, McNeill said, after busting out a window leading into one of the offices. In a twist of irony, the break-in came the night after HAVEN celebrated the groundbreaking ceremony for a new $1.85 million office and shelter complex to be located at the intersection of Horner Boulevard and Bracken Street. McNeill said the theft did take away from some of the excitement from the previous morning. “We had this great day we’d been planning for so long,” she said. “There was excitement and big community support ... and then we come in (Thursday) morning and see a brick in the middle of our office and a shattered window.” Sanford Police are investigating the break-in, and no suspects have been named. McNeill said neither computer contained confidential information, such as names and addresses of abuse victims. She did say many who heard about the break-in Thursday called and offered their support, making the day a little better. “That community support has carried over,” McNeill said. “We’ve received many calls asking if we’re OK and what people can do to help out.” — Billy Liggett

Buyer says pizza was delivered with a racial slur

APEX (MCT) — Racial slurs, harassing phone calls and “a whole bunch of mess” was not what Carla Robinson of Apex expected after ordering two pizzas from Domino’s for dinner late last month. When the pizza arrived, Robinson’s niece showed her that the receipt had the “N” word followed by “DON’T TIP” printed on the top. “I couldn’t believe my eyes,” Robinson said. The employee responsible for the slur was fired after Robinson showed it to the owner of the Domino’s. But then, Robinson said, she started receiving harassing phone calls. She said she got more than five voice mail messages and several other calls, many which included the same racial slur and comments such as, “It’s because of you, I don’t have a job.” “I’m still upset and stressed,” Robinson said. “My pride is messed up ... and the most hurtful part is that my 10-year-old niece was exposed to that.” The incident received wide attention and was even featured on CNN. The Wake County Sheriff’s Office is still investigating the harassing calls, a spokeswoman said. — The Cary News

BEAR CREEK — In Betty Jo Gray Thomas’ children’s tale, a donkey and a fly have an unexpected brush with greatness. The local author’s recently-published book, titled “Miguel and Lucky Meet Their Maker,” is a fictionalized version of a scriptural story. Thomas’ protagonist, Miguel, is based on a donkey mentioned in the New Testament, which Jesus Christ rides during his triumphant entry into Jerusalem. When she wrote her book in 2000, Thomas said, “We had just finished reading this story in Sunday school.” At the time, the married mother and grandmother was working at the University of North Carolina. She wrote the book, which is 42 pages, on a day she was working at the hospital call center and the computers went down. “I let other people read it,” she said, “and I did read it to a Sunday school class. One of the students in particular said, ‘You need to get that published.’” Thomas met the book’s illustrator, Lesley Garrett,

WESLEY BEESON/The Sanford Herald

Betty Jo Thomas of Bear Creek in Chatham County holds a copy of her children’s book, “Miguel and Lucky Meet Their Maker,” a version of a scriptural story found in the New Testament. at a Bible study. After conducting research online, she submitted their work to PublishAmerica. The author has lived in Bear Creek for more than 35 years and has enjoyed writing since she was a child. Before her book was published, she had written some small children’s stories for a devotional. In her book, Thomas said, “I wanted to be as authentic as I could.” In St. Mark’s Gospel, Jesus asks his disciples to find a colt that has been tied to a door and bring it to him.

“In the Bible, it does say he’s never been ridden,” Thomas said. “The way that it happened in the story, and the way I think it really happened, is that (Jesus) just got on, and (the donkey) was calm.” As her story opens, Miguel the donkey is distressed that he has been taken from his mother. Unable to communicate with the people around him, he tries to sort out the situation with his friend Lucky the fly. Thomas met a patient named Miguel at

the hospital, who was the inspiration for her main character’s name. She thought Lucky was a fitting moniker for his sidekick, who avoids people’s swats throughout the book. Calling both characters by name, Jesus says he has known them since before they were born. The story, according to the author, “is a clear picture of Jesus, our creator and how he values all of His creation.” “If our creator and savior can use a lowly donkey for his purpose,” Thomas

said, “don’t you know that he loves us so much more and can use us, too?” While the book is largely how she wrote it in 2000, Thomas has made minor revisions. One scene, involving Lucky, was changed in the interest of historical accuracy. “Jesus tells him to get in the fold of his garment,” she said. “ It was his pocket at first, and I got to thinking; I don’t know whether people had pockets back then.” The author is “very pleased” with the final product, which is not likely to be her last book. She already has an idea for another biblically-based story, which is about the boy who brings Jesus loaves and fishes that feed a crowd of 5,000. “It just comes to me,” the author said, adding, “I always want people to go to the Bible and read the true account.” “Miguel and Lucky Meet Their Maker” will soon be available on amazon.com, and it can also be purchased for $24.95 through the publisher’s website — www.publishamerica.net. Thomas said the book could also start appearing on the shelves of some area retailers — including Faith Book Nook in Asheboro.

Community will benefit from new shelter Our View Issue HAVEN, a shelter for abused women in Lee County, broke ground on a new $1.85 million facility Wednesday.

Our stance Until domestic abuse ends in our society, HAVEN is needed, and the new facility will go a long way in helping save women and families from abuse.

AVEN was founded in 1984 with two purposes in mind — first, to provide safety and support to victims of abuse, and second, to provide awareness about the issues of family violence and sexual assault. It’s the kind of organization you’d rather a community didn’t need. But because of the prevalence of domestic violence and abuse of all kinds, HAVEN has filled a void in the region. Still, as Executive Director Kay Ring said this week, HAVEN has had to turn women away because of lack of space. A new facility will help remedy that. HAVEN — the acronym for Helping Abuse and Violence End

As important, though, is the fact that the new office and shelter has gone “public.” Where the location of HAVEN’s existing shelter is a highly-guarded secret — owing to safety concerns for victims — the new facility will be quite visible. Now — broke ground Wednesday on a long-planned $1.85 million shelter and office complex. Funded primarily through grants and federal stimulus funds, it will provide space HAVEN has needed for years to adequately serve the needs of victims of abuse.

As important, though, is the fact that the new office and shelter has gone “public.” Where the location of HAVEN’s existing shelter is a highlyguarded secret — owing to safety concerns for victims — the new facility will be quite visible. Located at the intersection of N. Horner Boulevard and Bracken Street (with state-of-the-art security), HAVEN’s new haunt’s visibility will also serve as a reminder, Ring said Wednesday, that there should be no shame in being a victim. It’s also a reminder for the community that to solve the problem of domestic violence and abuse, it must first be confronted. Part of HAVEN’s methodology is based on the idea of empowerment, accord-

ing to its mission. The services it provides “empower clients to gain control over their lives” and take steps to remove themselves from abusive situations. Through its shelter, intervention and education programs, HAVEN has for more than a quarter-century enabled victims to stop being victimized. There may come a day when HAVEN isn’t needed. There are no doubt many beneficiaries of HAVEN’s services who certainly thought they’d never need them. So until the abuse and violence stops, thank goodness HAVEN was — and is — there.

Entertainment, in government

ALEIGH — Sometimes the entertainment value of government and politics outweighs any public policy implications. More than a few episodes have splashed their way to surface lately. It’s worth taking a look at a few ■ Gov. Beverly Perdue recently named Fred Eshelman to the board of trustees at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. No big deal, right? Eshelman, founder and chairman of drug-testing firm PPD, has been a big contributor to the UNC system. The pharmacy school over at UNC-Chapel Hill is named for him. But Eshelman is also a big financial backer of conservative political causes. His RightChange.com ran one of the more notorious ads of the 2008 election, showing the smoldering World Trade Center twin towers while questioning Barack Obama’s commitment to fighting terrorism. Eshelman is also among the big contributors to something called Real Jobs NC, which though it claims to be nonpartisan seems pretty intent on trying to help Republicans gain majorities in the state House and Senate. The group’s Web site includes a graphic entitled “The Problem” next to a picture of the old Capitol Building. Now, who works in that building? ■ One of Real Jobs NC’s big targets this fall is House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman. The group recently sent out a mailer accusing the Davidson County Democrat of “WASTING OUR TAX DOLLARS on Pork Projects.” The flier looks a lot like an ad or menu for a barbecue restaurant, complete with a cartoon figure of a pig wearing a chef’s hat. Perhaps the political consultant who came up with this idea realized that he or she was sending the mailer out to Lexington, the capital of western-style barbecue. That might seem cute to some. But some folks in and around the town might take offense to having their claim to fame dragged into mud puddle that is politics. But I’m sure those highly-paid political consultants know more than I ever will about voter sentiment and such. ■ As for government waste, some turned up recently at the Employment Security Commission. A state audit found that a systems and operations analyst working at the agency had been spending his days installing unauthorized software and burning DVDs — perhaps in violation of federal law — on his state computer. Asked for an explanation, the worker said that he needed something to do to “pass the time.” Now he has something else to do to pass the time — look for a new job. He was fired. His boss, also found with pirating software on his computer, was only suspended without pay for 10 days. Given this little episode, won’t it be fun next year when an ESC official has to make the case to state legislators that they shouldn’t slash computer analyst jobs in the agency? Surely inquiries would never be made about the position code for a certain supervisor. At least agency workers should be familiar with the process of filing for unemployment.

Ambiguity of war’s end

ASHINGTON — Now that the Iraq War is over — for U.S. combat troops, at least — only one thing is clear about the outcome: We didn’t win. We didn’t lose, either, in the sense of being defeated. But wars no longer end with surrender ceremonies and ticker-tape parades. They end in a fog of ambiguity, and it’s easier to discern what’s been sacrificed than what’s been gained. So it is after seven years of Eugene Robinson fighting in Iraq, and so it will be after at least Columnist 10 years — probably more, before we’re done Eugene Robinson is a columnist with the — in Afghanistan.

Today’s Prayer

Our neighbors came into possession of a small black lab puppy. As with all pups, she was full of energy and love, with a endless curiosity of life and things around her. Unfortunately, the owners’ interest decreased when her size increased. As such, she became undisciplined and ornery. She chewed anything and everything out of either frustration or because she was teething. The owners didn’t play with her, walk with her, clean her food or water bowl and offered her no bedding for a shelter, no flea and tick drops, no worming and absolutely nothing for a healthy normal existence. The owners have killed more than a dozen puppies. They get pups, leave them unattended and then allow anyone and everyone to drive in and out of their property with no one caring enough to protect the puppies. As such, all the puppies have died horrible deaths being crushed by vehicles. None have survived except for this pup, Traci, because she is wonderfully intelligent. Yet Animal Control refuses to get a court order requiring that these people do not have pets in the future. A pet in the hands of these people is a death sentence. Traci’s owners went on vacation, and for 30 days, she had no food, no water and no contact with anyone who was supposed to love and care for her. Her collar became so tight it choked her. I cut the collar off and gave her a new one that would adjust as she grew. Traci became friends with another neighbor’s pitbull and a smaller pit puppy. She also became friends with a huge adorable loving boxer. But she also became food aggressive because no one loved her enough to feed her. She became physically aggressive because she became jealous when another dog got something she didn’t. I called the sheriff’s department, and a deputy supposedly came out. I got a return call from that deputy and nothing was done on behalf of Traci being abandoned. So I bought her a pool to swim in, play and cool off. I bathed her regularly. I taught her not to be food aggressive. Today, she will allow anyone of any age to touch her food, play with it, take it from her and/or tease her with it. I called Animal Control here in Sanford and put in a complaint and a work order request. They were to post an animal abandonment sign on the house of the owners. If there was no response, I got to keep her. Now, what happens next is astonishing. Animal Control did not post the abandonment notice. Another neighbor told them not to. They had no right to interfere in my desire to have that notice posted to protect Traci, Animal Control had no right to ignore my complaint and allow a third party to interfere in my desire to protect her. Animal control told me I could not have Traci, since their employees did not do the proper thing as I requested. I tried to get Traci and was told I had no right to her. I had no right to medicate her, care for her, take her to a vet, give her a collar ... absolutely nothing. The owners who abandoned her had all the rights, and I had none. Animal Control’s incompetence has caused this beautiful lab to be at risk. DALE M. WILLIAMS Sanford

CAPITOL LETTER

Election board changes protect clients By GARY ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — A subpoena to testify before the State Board of Elections or demand to provide records to its investigators are requests neither a politician nor campaign operative wants to receive. The board is where political fortunes have wilted over the past decade as it scrutinized campaign books. It’s also put some high drama under the media spotlight, like when former Gov. Mike Easley and a political ally gave contradicting testimony last fall over campaign flight expenses. Now board leaders are worried they’ll be hamstrung in future efforts to uncover campaign finance violations because of a provision in the ethics law given final approval in the waning hours of this year’s General Assembly session. The measure requires the election board to follow administrative rules that other state panels must follow when it investigates potential campaign law violations or audits the records of a campaign committee. Most of the requirements are similar to those people expect in a courtroom: a written notice explaining to a person exactly what a governing board is investigating; the ability to present evidence and cross-examine witness; and formal reasons why someone’s being punished. But board members said the changes could thwart their examinations and stretch staff with more work and paper-pushing. “If the purpose of the board is to be a fact-find-

ing investigatory body, then it has a chilling effect,” elections board Chairman Larry Leake said a few days after the board fined Gov. Beverly Perdue’s campaign committee $30,000 for inadequate reporting of private airplane flights. “The real question is what do the two sentences mean, and what was the intent of the General Assembly in putting that language in?” Attorneys who’ve had clients before the board say the change will give their clients more legal protections and information to ensure they know what the board is investigating and whether they are in the board’s sights. The stakes are even higher now that lawmakers this year made it a felony when someone intentionally makes illegal campaign contributions above $10,000. “The folks who appear will understand what the potential punishments may be, whether some-

body may be a potential witness or have potential consequences for campaign law violations,” said Michael Weisel, a Raleigh attorney. The broad ethics, campaign finance and government reform package that capped this year’s legislative session directs the five-member board to administer any investigation or campaign audit following rules found in the chapter of state law that lays out how agencies carry out government functions and resolve conflicts. Sen. Steve Goss, D-Watauga, who shepherded a Senate version of the package, said the change is about ensuring the board acts like other agencies and treats every person the same. “We want a consistency through the whole process,” Goss said. While the bill was given final approval in the middle of the night, the provision in question was added about a week before final

passage July 10. Perdue signed the bill into law four weeks ago. The board, under Leake’s leadership, generally has run the board’s investigative hearings like court. The panel is a quasi-judicial board that can assess fines or refer potential crimes to local prosecutors. Leake, a Democratic appointee from Mars Hill, said he’s concerned the new requirements could be too burdensome. A campaign could have time to conceal problems if board staff must first send it a detailed notice before a campaign finance audit begins. Republican board member Chuck Winfree of Greensboro said requiring the panel to tell a potential witness what exactly is being investigated could impede its work. He points out the 2006 investigation of video poker industry and then-House Speaker Jim Black as an example.

The Washington Daily News announced Thursday that the newly formed Washington Newsmedia LLC, an affiliate of Boone Newspapers Inc., completed purchase of the newspaper from the Futrell family. Completion of the sale ends more than 60 years of operation by the Futrells. The late Ashley B. Futrell became editor and publisher of the newspaper in 1949.

But the commission said Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive order for Earl didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cite any such restrictions, so everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a go for Saturday.

NASA studies conditions that intensify storms FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NASA scientists flew Thursday into Hurricane Earl to gather data about what makes some tropical storms strengthen into destructive hurricanes while most fizzle. The flight is part of a sixweek NASA research mission to collect information that could help forecasters accurately predict how strong a hurricane will be. Forecasters have steadily improved their predictions for where a storm will go. Predicting which storm will intensify and when, and how strong it will be, still puzzles them. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical information for the public and emergency managers who need to know what to expect from a storm that makes landfall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell the public what the impact will be, then you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done the important part of the job,â&#x20AC;? said Edward Zipser, a University of Utah scientist working on the NASA project. A former passenger airliner converted into a flying laboratory took off from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, bound for Earl as it spun toward the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Fire in Smokies monitored for smoke on roadways MARYVILLE, Tenn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Firefighters are keeping watch over a slow-burning fire in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but the main concern is smoke along roadways.

concern is smoke along a section of the road called the Dragon that is popular with motorcyclists.

Fayetteville man honored as national DAV commander FAYETTEVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; April 13, 1984, was the day that Wally Tyson was given a wheelchair and told he would probably never walk again.

More than 25 years after the veterans group first helped Tyson, the Tarboro native and current Fayetteville resident is now the nonprofit organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top elected officer. Tyson, who is 58 and a member of DAV Chapter 46 in Cumberland County, was elected as the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national commander Aug. 3. His term will last one year. He was honored Saturday at a special meeting held by the Cumberland County chapter. Tyson, who enlisted in 1972 and served for 12 years before being medically retired in 1984, said he began his involvement with Disabled American Veterans shortly after he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He was a chapter service officer in his early involvement with the organization. He later took over the state chapter, and then became a national officer.

FORT BRAGG

STATE BRIEFS at the Burlington Housing Authority say Wade told them his mother broke her hip and was staying with his sister while she recovered.

Symphony CEO resigns, takes Texas job

RALEIGH (AP) — The man who has led the North Carolina Symphony for the past 11 years says he’s leaving to head the Van Cliburn Foundation in Texas and its world-famous piano competition. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that 42year-old David Chambless Worters will step down Nov. 15 as president and CEO of the symphony and head to Fort Worth, Texas. Worters is a former pianist and says the Van Cliburn job was too good to pass up. He leaves as the symphony continues to reduce its debt, although the symphony remains almost $3 million in the red. The symphony did break even this past season by cutting costs and increasing fundraising. Symphony chairman William Cavanaugh III says the orchestra’s executive committee will meet Tuesday to discuss the process for finding a successor to Worters.

Woman found months after death, son charged

BURLINGTON (AP) — A North Carolina man is in jail after investigators say he hid the death of his elderly mother for months until a maintenance worker discovered the corpse on her couch. Multiple media organizations reported 50-year-old Don Lee Wade is charged with concealing the death of his 94-year-old mother Lucy Mae Wade. A worker at the Alamance County jail said Thursday that Wade was being held under $10,000 bond and there is no record he has an attorney. The body was discovered last week. An autopsy indicated she died from natural causes about six months ago. Neighbors and staffers

10 infants have died suddenly in Bragg housing units since 2007

No delay in Fla. man’s trial in trooper death

By MIKE HIXENBAUGH The Fayetteville Observer

NEWTON (AP) — The judge in the trial of a Florida man charged with killing a North Carolina state trooper has refused to go along with requests from the defense and prosecutors to delay the trial. The Asheville Citizen-Times reported both sides wanted to delay the trial until after the state Supreme Court decides Edwardo Wong’s request for a delay. But Superior Court Judge Nathaniel Poovey said Wednesday the trial will start after the final alternate is selected. Opening statements could begin Friday if the last juror is selected Thursday. The Ormond Beach, Fla., man is charged with firstdegree murder in the 2008 shooting death of state Trooper David Shawn Blanton Jr. during a traffic stop on Interstate 40 near Canton. Wong’s trial is being held in Newton.

Man pleads guilty to 2nd child killing HILLSBOROUGH (AP) — A North Carolina man who would have eligible for parole in November after serving a life sentence for killing a girl has pleaded guilty to raping and killing another girl. Multiple media outlets reported that 61-year-old George Richard Fisher pleaded guilty Wednesday in Orange County court in Hillsborough to first-degree murder in the death of 7year-old Carrie Wilkerson of Carrboro in 1984. He also pleaded guilty to first-degree rape and first-degree arson. Fisher was serving a life sentence for sexually assaulting and killing 8-year-old Jean Fewel of Chapel Hill in 1985.

FORT BRAGG (AP) — Jay’Vair Pollard was a little more than 2 months old when he quit breathing April 15, 2009. The baby died that morning while sleeping in his mother’s arms at their home on Fort Bragg. The boy’s grandmother, Lori Gray, said she had never cried so hard in her life. That was until three months later, when another of her grandchildren, 7-month-old Ka’Mya Frey, died while taking a nap in the same home on the military post. The infant was standing in her crib and smiling just hours before her mother, Bianca Outlaw, found the baby cold and lifeless lying face-up on the mattress. “That was it for me,” Gray said Wednesday. “I fell completely apart after that. I’ve never lost a child, but losing a grandchild is just as bad I think, and now I’ve lost two.” Jay’Vair and Ka’Mya are among 10 infants who have died suddenly and without warning inside military housing units on Fort Bragg since January 2007. On Tuesday, military officials announced that all 10 deaths are being reviewed to determine if they might be connected. So far, though, officials said the investigation has turned up no common thread — other than location — linking the cases in any way. Outlaw said she finds that hard to believe.

conducted at the house, but they have refused, he said. Chris Grey, a spokesman with the Army Criminal Investigative Command, said test results from the homes would be made public when the military investigation is complete. “If everything is fine — if all the tests have come back negative — why not lay everything out on the table and say, ’This is what we’re working with. Here are the test results,”’ Hernan said. “My clients just want answers.” Hernan said other families have started reaching out to him, asking for help and demanding answers. Among them was Spc. Nathanael Duke and his wife, Krystyna, who lost their 6-week-old son, Gabriel, in March. They say investigators removed chunks of drywall and carpeting and sent them to a lab before returning weeks later and telling them to move out immediately. “They said we had Chinese drywall,” Krystyna said, referring to the imported building material known to emit high levels of sulfur gases. The Dukes are certain that’s what killed their baby. But John Shay, a program manager with Picerne Military Housing, said subsequent environmental and hazardous material tests at the home were negative. Shay said the air, building materials and other items have been tested at all the units

where infants have died. Toxic black mold and contaminated drywall from China have been ruled out in each case, he said. About 18,000 people live in roughly 6,200 houses on Fort Bragg. Since Picerne took over Fort Bragg’s housing seven years ago, the private firm has torn down and rebuilt or renovated thousands of homes. Three of the houses where infants died were new, three had been renovated and three had undergone minor renovations, Shay said. Paris Mayo is scared contractors took shortcuts or made mistakes on the housing. Mayo’s 3-month-old daughter, Kiely, died unexpectedly in September 2008 while living in the Casablanca neighborhood on post. Mayo and her husband moved away for a while but have since returned to the community, not aware that other babies had died in base housing. Now they fear their newborn son might be at risk. “I want to make sure I keep him safe,” Mayo said of the 5-week-old child. “I’m like everyone else. I want answers.” Gray, Jay’Vair and Ka’Mya’s grandmother, said she prays nobody else has to experience what her children have suffered through. “We want answers,” Gray said. “We want to know what happened. If someone is responsible, they need to stand up and say, ’Hey, we made a mistake. We’re sorry.’ “

She choked back tears Wednesday as she described over the phone the shock of finding her daughter dead. “I didn’t know what to do,” Outlaw said. “I was frantic. That’s something I’m always going to live with for the rest of my life.” The baby died during an extended visit with Melissa Pollard, Gray’s daughter, and her soldier husband in the Ardennes neighborhood on post, Outlaw said. Cody Frey, Ka’Mya’s father and Outlaw’s fiancee, is Melissa Pollard’s brother. It was only months after the Pollards’ son, Jay’Vair, died suddenly, but Outlaw never thought her child might be at risk. The baby never even had a cold before visiting Fort Bragg, Outlaw said. The Pollards only found out several weeks later, after speaking with neighbors, that a third baby whose family had been living in the same housing unit died unexpectedly two years earlier while at an off-post baby-sitting service. “When we learned that, that’s when we knew there had to be something going on in that house,” Outlaw said. “My daughter was healthy before we went up there. It can’t just be a coincidence.” Jamie Hernan, the lawyer representing Outlaw, Frey and the Pollards, has been pressing Fort Bragg officials and Picerne Military Housing representatives to release the results of environmental tests

8A / Friday, September 3, 2010 / The Sanford Herald HURRICANE EARL HITS THE OUTER BANKS

Earl Continued from Page 1A

2 strength, by 8 p.m. But forecasters warned that it remained powerful, with hurricane-force winds of 74 mph or more extending 70 miles from its center and tropical storm-force winds of at least 35 mph reaching more than 200 miles out. National Weather Service meteorologist Hal Austin said the eye of the hurricane was expected to get as close as 55 miles east of the Outer Banks about 2 a.m. Friday. The coast is expected to be lashed by hurricane-force winds for a couple of hours. Earl’s arrival could mark the start of at least 24 hours of stormy, windy weather along the East Coast. During its march up the Atlantic, it could snarl travelers’ Labor Day weekend plans and strike a second forceful blow to the vacation homes and cottages on Long Island, Nantucket Island and Cape Cod. It was unclear exactly how close Earl’s center and its strongest winds would get to land. But Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Craig Fugate said people shouldn’t wait for the next forecast to act. “This is a day of action. Conditions are going to deteriorate rapidly,” he said. Shelters were open in inland North Carolina, and officials on Nantucket Island, Mass., planned to set up a shelter at a high school on Friday. North Carolina shut down ferry service between the Outer Banks and the mainland. Boats were being pulled from the water in the Northeast, and lobstermen in Maine set their traps out in deeper water to protect them. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and Rhode

Island Gov. Donald Carcieri declared a state of emergency. Similar declarations have also made in North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland. As of Thursday afternoon, though, the only evacuations ordered were on the Outer Banks, which sticks out into the Atlantic Ocean like the side-view mirror on a car, vulnerable to a sideswiping. About 35,000 tourists and residents were urged to leave.

A slow winding down was expected to continue as the storm moved into cooler waters, but forecasters warned the size of the storm’s wind field was increasing, similar to what happened when Hurricane Katrina approached the Gulf Coast five years ago. “It will be bigger. The storm won’t be as strong, but they spread out as they go north and the rain will be spreading from New England,” National Hurricane Center Director Bill Read said. In North Carolina, the end of an already dilapidated wooden pier in Frisco, one of the villages on Hatteras Island, collapsed after being battered by high surf Thursday. It had been closed to the public because of past storm damage.

Hundreds of the Outer Banks’ more hardy residents gassed up their generators and planned to hunker down at home behind their boarded-up windows, even though officials warned them that it could be three days before they could expect any help and that storm surge could again slice through the islands. It took crews two months to fill the breach and rebuild the only road to the mainland when Hurricane Isabel carved a 2,000-foot-wide channel in 2003. “It’s kind of nerveracking, but I’ve been through this before,” said 65-year-old Herma De Gier, who has lived in the village of Avon since 1984. De Gier said she will ride out the storm at a neighbor’s house but wants to be close enough

to her own property so she can quickly deal with any damage. Officials warned once the winds began to pick up, police, firefighters and paramedics probably weren’t going to answer emergency calls. “Once this storm comes in and becomes serious, once it’s at its worst point, we are not going to put any emergency worker in harm’s way,” North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue said. Forecasters said that after Earl passes the Outer Banks, a kink in the jetstream over the eastern U.S. should push the storm away from the coast, guiding it like a marble in a groove. Earl is expected to move north-northeast for much of Friday, staying away from New Jersey and

the other mid-Atlantic states, but also passing very close to Long Island, Cape Cod and Nantucket, which could get gusts up to 100 mph. The storm is expected to finally move ashore in Canada sometime Saturday afternoon. Much of New England should expect strong, gusty winds much like a nor’easter, along with fallen trees and downed power lines, forecasters said. “This is the strongest hurricane to threaten the Northeast and New England since Hurricane Bob in 1991,” said Dennis Feltgen, a meteorologist with the National Hurricane Center. Clayton Smith and his colleagues at a yacht servicing company in New England scrambled to Nantucket to pull boats to safety, hoping to get about 40 vessels out of the water in two days. “Complacency is a bad thing,” Smith said. “It’s better to be safe than sorry.” But many people in Nantucket weren’t too worried about Earl. Arno’s Main Street Grill plans to stay open Friday as long as possible said owner Chris Morris. The hurricane might even be good for business. “There’s not much else to do during a hurricane besides eat and drink,” he said. “I mean, there’s only so many times you can visit the whaling museum.” The storm is likely to disrupt travel as people try to squeeze in a few more days of summer vacation over Labor Day. Continental Airlines canceled 50 departures from Newark on its Continental Connection and Continental Express routes along the East Coast, beginning Thursday night. Other airlines were watching the forecast and waiving fees for changing flights. Amtrak canceled trains to Newport News, near Virginia’s coast, from Richmond, Va., and Washington. Ferry operators across the Northeast warned their service would likely be interrupted. And the Army Corps of Engineers warned it would have to close the two bridges connecting Cape Cod to the rest of Massachusetts if winds got above 70 mph.

HURRICANE EARL HITS THE OUTER BANKS

Many chose to ride it out By MIKE BAKER Associated Press Writer

BUXTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A twostory Comfort Inn has become a makeshift hurricane hostel on North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outer Banks for those who want to stay close to their homes but know they need better shelter from the outslaught of Earl. Billy Parker, 55, chose to stay so he could keep an eye on his treasured property, but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taking any chances with his family. He sent his wife, mother-in-law and two daughters to Elizabeth City â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two and a half hours away on the mainland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them here,â&#x20AC;? Parker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d fear for their lives.â&#x20AC;? Most of the hotel guests said they would rather get trapped on Hatteras Island than off it and prepared themselves for weeks without contact with the outside world. Storm overwash frequently destroys parts of Highway 12 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the only roadway connecting this exposed frontier to the mainland. Donna Lopez, 38, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it would be worth the effort to move three kids and three dogs to another spot hours away when so many others had safely navigated storms here. Her children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ages 3, 5 and 10 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; played around the parking lot Thursday evening as the storm gathered off the coast. Their stilted home nearby was boarded up for protection, but Lopez didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to take any chances at the house and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to make the long drive away from the barrier islands when home could be accessible early Friday.

Lee County spared, but officials were ready for the worst By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

Lee Taylor, of Harlow, buys ice for his family to ride out the storm as Hurricane Earl heads toward the eastern coast in Atlantic Beach Thursday.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the kids, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just safer to be over here,â&#x20AC;? she said. They had a room packed with lunchables, drinks and video games. As the storm approached, about a dozen hotel guests mingled outside sharing drinks and cigarettes, even as the first bands of swift wind and strong rain whipped through the parking lot. A few others used laptops inside behind plywoodcovered windows ready

for an uncomfortable night of storm-watching. Some of the hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s windows were covered in plywood and cars filled the slightly elevated parking lot in hopes of avoiding any flooding, but it might not be enough. When Hurricane Emily similarly brushed the Outer Banks as a Category 3 back in 1993, it brought so much surge into Buxton that firstfloor rooms at the Comfort Inn were damaged under 2 feet of water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get over the top of the bed, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m OK,â&#x20AC;? said Tony Willis Jr., 33, a resident of nearby Frisco who sought shelter at the hotel with his family. They all gathered Thursday at a local twostory hotel, hunkering down in a makeshift hurricane hostel that they perceived to be the safest shelter from swirling Hurricane Earl. Flooding also wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the priority concern for

Parker, who was staying on the first floor. He simply didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to venture too far from his doublewide trailer in Buxton, saying he wants to be able to quickly access it after the storm moves past Friday. Sipping on a beer as he watched the skies, Parker said he was worried about the damage of the stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wind and water â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the fate of his lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belongings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my life. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked 30 years for it,â&#x20AC;? he said. For Nadya Bozhkova, 20, a student visiting for the summer from Volgograd, Russia, there were few options for evacuation. Bozhkova doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a car or a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license that would let her flee. She was worried about staying at the small motel that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called home for the last couple months, so she packed all of her belongings into the Comfort Inn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no choice,â&#x20AC;? she said.

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; While weather forecasters predicted an increasingly northward track for Hurricane Earl that would take the looming storm away from Lee County, local emergency planners said they had begun preparations days ago for the contingency of hurricane conditions in Sanford. Roger Millikin of Lee County Emergency Management said his office began preparing this week for the possibility of â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant wind and rainâ&#x20AC;? as the major storm system trekked north and into a projected crash course with the North Carolina coast. That included checking to make sure government generators were fueled and ready if the region lost power in a storm, and notifying residents in flood-prone areas of Lee County to be wary of rising waters, Millikin said. Millikin said low-lying areas near creeks were soaked in 2008 when Tropical Storm Hanna battered the South Carolina coast and churned through central parts of North Carolina. Planners were quick to notify residents in those areas of the impending danger if Earl, a much more powerful storm than Hanna, took a similar track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a fairly long list four days out to make sure everybody is prepared,â&#x20AC;? Millikin said. As of Thursday night, Hurricane Earl was

projected to graze the Outer Banks of North Carolina in the evening hours Thursday and early morning Friday. Millikin said forecasters expect the increasingly-northward track of the storm to spare Lee County from feeling the effects of the storm, although tropical systems have been known for changing course and bucking expected tracks. Earlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winds were clocked at 125 mph Thursday afternoon, making it a powerful Category 3 storm. The winds subsided to Category 2 strength later in the evening. Lee County was expected to receive no rain from the storm, and the area was expected to receive only the smallest of wind gusts ... topping 10 to 15 mph. But while Lee County was spared the wrath of Mother Nature, the area is still on guard in case residents of the Outer Banks need to move westward for shelter. Millikin said his office has been in contact with officials in the local chapter of the American Red Cross, the Department of Social Services and the Health Department to ready shelters if needed. The county has three emergency shelters in San-Lee Middle, East Lee Middle and West Lee Middle schools, although Millikin said the county does not pre-determine a site in case weather conditions make one location unreachable.

MIDEAST PEACE TALKS

Oil rig explodes off La. coast

Israel, Palestinians agree to more talks

All 13 crewmen rescued; oil spreads in Gulf By ALAN SAYRE Associated Press Writer

NEW ORLEANS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An oil platform exploded and caught fire Thursday off the Louisiana coast, spreading a mile-long oil sheen into the Gulf of Mexico. All 13 crew members were rescued from the water in their protective â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gumby suits.â&#x20AC;? It was the second such disaster in the gulf in less than five months. Coast Guard Petty Officer Bill Coklough said the sheen, about 100 feet wide, was spotted near the platform, 200 miles west of the site of BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massive spill. Firefighting vessels were battling the flames. The company that owns the platform, Houston-based Mariner Energy, did not know what caused the blast, which was reported by a helicopter flying over the area. Seven Coast Guard helicopters, two airplanes and three cutters were dispatched to the scene. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said Mariner officials told him there were seven active production wells on the platform, and they were shut down shortly after the fire broke out. Photos from the scene showed at least five ships floating near the platform. Three of them were shooting great plumes of

Light smoke could be seen drifting across the deep blue waters of the gulf. The platform is in about 340 feet of water and about 100 miles south of Louisianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vermilion Bay. Its location is considered shallow water, much less than the approximately 5,000 feet where BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well spewed oil and gas for three months after the April rig explosion. Responding to any oil spill in shallow water would be much easier than in deep water, where crews depend on remote-operated vehicles access equipment on the sea floor. A homeland security update obtained by The

Associated Press said the platform was producing 58,800 gallons of oil and 900,000 cubic feet of gas per day. The platform can store 4,200 gallons of oil. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the administration has â&#x20AC;&#x153;response assets ready for deployment should we receive reports of pollution in the water.â&#x20AC;? Crew members were found floating in the water, huddled together in insulated survival outfits called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gumby suitsâ&#x20AC;? for their resemblance to the cartoon character. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys had the presence of mind, used their training to get into those Gumby suits before they entered the water,â&#x20AC;?

Edwards said. The crew was being flown to a hospital in Houma. Coast Guard Cmdr. Cheri Ben-Iesau said one person was injured, but the company said there were no injuries. A company report said the well was drilled in the third quarter of 2008. There are about 3,400 platforms operating in the Gulf, according to the American Petroleum Institute. Together they pump about a third of the Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s domestic oil, forming the backbone of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s petroleum industry. Platforms are vastly different from oil rigs like the Deepwater Horizon. They are usually brought in after wells are already drilled and sealed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A production platform is much more stable,â&#x20AC;? said Andy Radford, an API expert on offshore oil drilling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On a drilling rig, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually drilling the well. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cutting. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pumping mud down the hole. You have a lot more activity on a drilling rig.â&#x20AC;? In contrast, platforms are usually placed atop stable wells where the oil is flowing at a predictable pressure, he said. A majority of platforms in the Gulf do not require crews on board. Many platforms, especially those in shallower water, stand on legs that are drilled into the sea floor. Like a giant octopus, they spread numerous pipelines across the sea floor and can tap into many wells at once. Platforms do not have blowout preventers, but they are usually equipped with a series of redundant valves that can shut off oil and gas at different points along the pipeline. Numerous platforms were damaged during hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The storms broke pipelines and oil spilled into the Gulf. But the platforms successfully kept major spills from happening, Radford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those safety valves did their job,â&#x20AC;? he said. Federal authorities have cited Mariner Energy and related entities for 10 accidents in the Gulf of Mexico over the last four years, according to safety records from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement. The accidents range from platform fires to pollution spills and a blowout, according to accident-investigation reports from the agency formerly known as the Minerals Management Service.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Israeli and Palestinian leaders agreed Thursday to keep talking and produce a framework for a permanent peace deal, modest achievements reached amid deep skepticism about success at their first such session in two years. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will meet again on Sept. 14 and 15 in the Middle East, likely at the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm elSheik, with an eye toward forging the outline of a pact. They will also meet roughly every two weeks after that. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who hosted the talks at the State Department, will attend the next round. In a public plea for both sides to compromise in the name of peace, Clinton said the Obama administration has no illusions about reaching a quick breakthrough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here

before and we know how difficult the road ahead will be,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There undoubtedly will be obstacles and setbacks. Those who oppose the cause of peace will try in every way possible to sabotage this process, as we have already seen this week.â&#x20AC;? She was referring to Palestinian attacks on Israelis in the disputed West Bank on Tuesday and Wednesday. The United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; special Mideast envoy George Mitchell announced the developments after several hours of talks between Netanyahu and Abbas at which the two leaders pledged to work through the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deeply ingrained mutual hostility and suspicion to resolve the long-running conflict in a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time. Mitchell declined to detail exactly what the framework agreement would include but said it would lay out the main compromises necessary to get to a full peace treaty.

NATION BRIEFS Feds sue Arizona sheriff in civil rights probe

More Dems buck plan to let taxes increase for rich

PHOENIX (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The U.S. Justice Department sued Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Thursday, saying the Arizona lawman refused for more than a year to turn over records in an investigation into allegations his department discriminates against Hispanics. The lawsuit calls Arpaio and his officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defiance â&#x20AC;&#x153;unprecedented,â&#x20AC;? and said the federal government has been trying since March 2009 to get officials to comply with its probe of alleged discrimination, unconstitutional searches and seizures, and jail policies that discriminate against people with limited English skills Arpaio had been given until Aug. 17 to hand over documents the federal government first asked for 15 months ago. Arpaio called the Justice Department actions harrassment at a news conference Thursday morning in downtown Phoenix. His office has said it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hand over additional documents because federal authorities havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t said exactly what they were investigating.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Congress seems increasingly reluctant to let taxes go up, even on wealthier Americans. Worried about the fragile economy and their own upcoming elections, a growing number of Democrats are joining the rock-solid Republican opposition to President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to let some of the Bush administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax cuts expire. Democratic leaders in Congress still back Obama, but the willingness to raise taxes is waning among the rank and file as the stagnant economy threatens the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s majority in the House and Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my view this is no time to do anything that could be jarring to a fragile recovery,â&#x20AC;? said Rep.

Man in Letterman blackmail plot freed from N.Y. jail

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Several current and ex-gang members lashed out at Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police chief on Thursday, calling his so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;gang summitâ&#x20AC;? initiative to crack down on crime a wasted effort that will have little effect on the streets of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third largest city. After calling a news conference outside a park district building, gang members complained to assembled TV cameras about the ultimatum police Superintendent Jody Weis gave them at a recent meeting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that if gangs resort to violence, police will go after their leaders. In response, they offered their own message to police: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not playing fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is it possible for one person to micromanage a group?â&#x20AC;? Vice Lords gang member Jim Allen asked reporters, wearing a black baseball cap with the words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mess with the Best, Die like the Rest.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will not be responsible for anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions but our own.â&#x20AC;? Weis is facing mounting criticism for holding the unpublicized Aug. 17 meeting with reputed gang leaders, even though several police departments across the country have relied on similar approaches for decades to help reduce crime.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The former television producer who tried to blackmail David Letterman was freed Thursday after four months in jail for a plot that put a spotlight on the comic iconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office affairs, city Correction Department records show. Robert â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joeâ&#x20AC;? Halderman got time off for good behavior from his six-month term at the Rikers Island jail complex, but he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done with his sentence: He still has to complete 1,000 hours of community service, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on probation for five years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He survived this, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glad to be getting off the island,â&#x20AC;? said his lawyer, Gerald Shargel. The former CBS â&#x20AC;&#x153;48 Hoursâ&#x20AC;? producer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up for a News and Documentary Emmy award this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is looking for work, Shargel added. Halderman, 52, pleaded guilty earlier this spring to attempted grand larceny. He admitted he demanded $2 million in hush money last fall to keep from revealing personal information about Letterman.

MOVIE REVIEW: THE AMERICAN

E-BRIEFS

‘The American’ never really fires

n the parlor game of listing contemporary incarnations of the classic actors of yesteryear (e.g., Tom Hanks as Jimmy Stewart), is there any doubt that George Clooney is today’s Cary Grant? Sure, there’s the suave, urbane countenance. But, Grant’s screwball beginnings are not unlike Clooney’s Coen Bros. turns, while Clooney’s darker dramas are akin to “Charade” and Grant’s many Hitchcock entrées. “The American” sounds like the name of a Hitchcock film, and it is one of Clooney’s most brooding films to date. Spanning from snowy Sweden to bustling Rome before finally settling in sleepy Sulmona, Italy (not far from its leading man’s vacation villa), this spy (would-be) thriller rehashes the formula of the solitary hitman carrying out one last job before getting out of the game. Under the cover-name Jack (George Clooney), the taciturn shadow-dweller is charged by his mysterious minder (Johan Leysen) with constructing a high-powered rifle for an attractive, female assassin, Mathilde (Thekla Reuten). Along the way, this American With No Name befriends a wise old priest named Father Benedetto (Paolo Bonacelli) and embarks on an affair with Clara (Violante Placido), a

George Clooney, shown in a scene from “The American,” is this generation’s Cary Grant. beautiful, routinely nude Prostitute with a Heart of Gold™. Loosely adapted from British author Martin Booth’s 1990 novel “A Very Private Gentleman,” erstwhile music video director Anton Corbijn proceeds at a deliberate pace, intentionally evocative of a 1970s European thriller – even the movie poster is stylishly retro. Contrasting the picturesque Italian countryside with the story’s violent overtones, the film hoists evergreen themes of good versus evil and damnation versus redemption. The butterfly tattoo etched between Jack’s shoulder blades suggests his desire for transformation. Corbijn has stated that he looks at the film and its underlying morality tale like a western – at one point, Jack conspicuously takes a moment to watch the opening scene from Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon a Time in the West”

being shown on a television inside a small caffettiera. However, there is a difference between methodical and languid, and too often The American feels like an exercise in cinematic atmosphere over substance (not unlike Clooney’s “The Good German”). The script filtered through at least four writers before settling onto the credited keyboard of Rowan Joffe (“28 Weeks Later”). The screenplay avoids spoon-feeding the viewer, a device that works tremendously during the taut opening scene. Eventually, however, the narrative begins to feel like a gun that never really fires. Even Jack’s relationship with Clara never reaches emotional clarity. Clooney’s star presence carries the film, and it is worth noting his ongoing, art-imitating-life predilection for playing starcrossed bachelors. When

Jack and Mathilde meet to test Jack’s rifle, their rapid-fire tête-à-tête about aiming variances and shot suppression contrasts with the beautiful creek bank setting. Jack catches himself looking longingly at Mathilde, fully aware that they are two-of-a-kind who could never be together, much like Clooney’s Ryan Bingham and Alex in “Up in the Air.” Few actors today – Clooney, Hanks, DiCaprio – both possess and exercise the star power needed to make films like “The American.” But, artistic appreciation does not always produce artistry … or simulacrum of Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock.

Rapper T.I., wife arrested on drug charges

Lambert tops CMA Awards with 9 nominations

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Grammy-winning rapper T.I. was arrested along with his wife on suspicion of possessing methamphetamines, five months after the hip-hop star finished a prison stint on weapons charges. The 29-yearT.I. old rapper

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Miranda Lambert made history Wednesday morning when she was nominated for nine CMA Awards, the most for a female country music artist. She’ll be celebrating with close friends Lady Antebellum and fiance Blake Shelton. Lady A earned the second most nominations with five and Shelton was next with four, tied with Lambert Zac Brown Band. The year 2010 is taking on fairly tale qualities for the fiery Texan, who won three Academy of Country Music Awards in March, got engaged a few months later and has much to look forward to the rest of the year. “I don’t think it gets better than this,” Lambert said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. “It’s been a dream and it’s not even over with. I’ll be sad when 2011 comes because this year has just been one blessing after another. It’s just incredible. I don’t know what it is about now that all this is coming to a head, but I don’t care. I’m just glad it is.” Lambert and close friend Dierks Bentley announced nominations in five categories Wednesday morning on “Good Morning America.”

and his wife, Tameka Cottle, were arrested Wednesday night in West Hollywood after deputies smelled marijuana and pulled the couple over, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said. They were released from jail at about 4 a.m. Thursday after posting $10,000 bail each, sheriff’s Deputy Luis Castro said. T.I.’s publicist declined to comment. The Atlanta-based rapper is a multiplatinum hitmaker. Known as the “King of the South,” he has emerged one of music’s most profitable stars. He also has a key role in the current top box office movie “Takers.” The shoot-’em-up about an armored truck robbery that goes bad was released last week and topped the box-office chart. Cottle, 36, sang with the 1990s group Xscape and has recently been the star of the BET reality series, “The Tiny & Toya Show,” She and the rapper, who is a father of five, married in late July.

Axl Rose tries Dublin’s patience, sends crowd home DUBLIN (AP) — Axl Rose, it seems, needs a little more patience — and a much louder alarm clock. The 48-year-old singer of U.S. hard-rock band Guns N’ Roses irritated thousands of his Dublin fans at the 02 Arena on Wednesday night by showing up nearly an hour late — a recurring problem on his band’s European tour — and then walking off after an unruly minority in the crowd hurled water bottles on the stage. Most of the fans left, but Irish concert promoters MCD wouldn’t let Rose leave until he finished the gig. The band went back on stage an hour later to a mostly empty venue and didn’t stop playing until nearly 1 a.m. MCD and the 02 issued a joint statement criticizing Rose for having “a long history for being late on stage,” but emphasized that “no artist should be subjected to missiles and unknown substances being thrown at them.” Rose’s patience snapped after he warned the crowd to stop throwing things on stage.

Networks using Skype more in news reports

More dimensions in Perry’s ‘Dream’

NEW YORK (AP) — When he wanted to interview a source in Connecticut for a recent “World News” story on technology, ABC reporter Pierre Thomas didn’t even leave the office. ABC’s cameras showed him sitting in front of a computer screen, talking to Michael Coppolla through Skype. The video phone service has become an important tool for television news organizations over the past several months. Producers say it enables them to reach many more people for interviews. It also saves money, although its current users insist Skype won’t become a crutch. Skype encourages news organizations to use the service, doesn’t charge for it and offers detailed advice on how to best take advantage of the technology. The company asks networks to display its logo or verbally identify Skype. “It really has changed the way we do business,” said Tom Costello, a Washington-based NBC News reporter. While reporting on a bad egg outbreak a week ago, Costello found an elderly woman in a remote section of Pennsylvania who has lingering stomach problems from a salmonella poisoning five years ago. There was no way to reach her in time with a camera crew for “Nightly News,” but Costello was surprised to find she regularly used Skype, and that’s how they did the interview.

AP Music Writer

One of Washington’s paralyzing snowstorms last winter left Costello without power and stranded at home, but his wife held up a laptop to take a picture of him thigh-deep in snow in their front yard so Costello could do a live report. All three broadcast network newscasts use Skype to a certain extent. Fox News Channel interviews people under the banner “Skype gripe.” Barbara Walters talked about her heart surgery on “The View” by way of Skype. The “Today” show keeps connected with viewers through Skype. “This opens the entire country up for us to get to instantaneously,” said Jon Banner, “World News” executive producer. “It is a terrific advance and we would be foolish not to take advantage of any technical advance that’s out there.” Skype is perfect for deadline situations — such as the late-day interview ABC’s Thomas conducted, Banner said. It also gives ABC access to a wider selection of experts for stories, he said. A downside is a degradation in video quality. The Skype picture for Thomas’ interview was fuzzy, and it sometimes seemed interview subject Coppolla’s voice wasn’t in sync with his moving mouth. It wasn’t the high-definition video to which viewers are accustomed.

By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY NEW YORK — To some, the most surprising part of Katy Perry’s sophomore success is that it exists. After all, this was the ever effervescent girl who rose to fame two years ago with a song about girl-on-girl action. She dressed like a cross between Betty Boop and Judy Jetson and sang songs about metrosexual boyfriends and partying in Vegas. Fun and catchy — but surely not built to last. Cut to 2010, and it’s been Perry’s year. Her No. 1 smash “California Gurls” has become the song of the summer; she’s got another big hit with the racy “Teenage Dream”; and her second album of the same name debuted at the top of the charts this week, selling a little over 192,000 copies for one of the year’s best debuts, according to Nielsen SoundScan. And her engagement to British comedian Russell Brand hasn’t hurt her exploding star power. “It’s really validating, but not in like a mean girls’ kind of way feeling,” says a wide-eyed Perry, with her girlish voice, in a recent interview. “I’ve always believed in myself and it’s just wonderful that people can finally jump on the train and be a part of something really exciting.” The 25-year-old California girl hasn’t toned down the zaniness much on her latest album — and listeners get the

In person, Perry comes across like a walking candy confection — on this day, she’s wearing her jet-black hair pulled back in a ponytail; her eyelids are colored in a bright blue; and she’s wearing a low-cut, tight minidress that’s a rainbow of colors (though she covers up with a gray jacket because of a hotel chill). The video for “California Gurls,” the infectious pop groove featuring Snoop Dogg, features Perry in a sexy version of Candy Land, and the theme continues with her album.

of cotton candy; she’s considering having candy instead of confetti rain down on her audience as part of her upcoming tour, which she plans for next year. Yet there’s grit behind the fluff. “Teenage Dream” features songs about toxic relationships, moments of conflict, selfdoubt and even inspiration. “(This album) shows the evolution that people weren’t expecting,” says Amy Doyle, MTV’s executive vice president of music and talent programming. “There are songs on this album that go a little deeper into her feelings and aren’t just these poppy little num-

bers. I think that she gets into a deeper lyrical side of herself.” Perry calls the album her “black box” — where she reveals Katy Perry the artist, often obscured by Katy Perry the caricature. One song that shows another dimension is the angry “Circle the Drain,” where she lashes out at a lover who is destroying himself and their relationship with drugs. While Perry says it came from her past, she declines to say whether it’s about former boyfriend Travie McCoy, who has acknowledged that he’s battled substance abuse. However, Perry says it’s not about her fiance, who has openly talked about overcoming such addictions. “It was difficult to write it because it’s not where I am now, but it was a feeling that I had stored away a long time ago, in my emotional filing cabinet,” she says. Grammy-winning producer and songwriter Christopher “Tricky” Stewart, who worked on the track with Perry, says the song was “a very important subject for her to get off her chest.” Moreover, Perry was interested in showing that she could offer more than danceable, playful pop grooves. “More than anything, it was an attitude, a certain type of tone that she wanted to take on her record. We’re both fans of Alanis Morissette’s ’Jagged Little Pill’ album,” he said. “We were looking for something edgy, something women could get behind.”

SANFORD — Brick City Bowl V is important to the Lee County Yellow Jackets. Not only is it against their crosstown rivals, it’s also the final nonconference contest and is a game that can have serious playoff implications. If the Yellow Jackets can beat their county rival Southern Lee on the gridiron tonight at Cavalier Stadium, they can drop last week’s loss to Richmond Countyfrom their record and take a 2-0 nonconference record with them into the postseason, should they make it, which may give them a better

So it’s important that we come out and take care of business against Southern Lee.” The Yellow Jackets (1-1), the reigning Brick City Bowl champions, are not taking the Cavaliers lightly either. “Southern Lee has got some serious athletes offensively,” said Cates. “Their quarterback can

SANFORD — No matter what the scoreboard reads at the end of the game, Southern Lee head coach Tom Paris wants to walk off the field tonight knowing that his program is headed in the right direction. The Cavaliers (0-2) will take on county rival Lee County (1-1) in Brick City Bowl V at 7:30 tonight at Cavalier Stadium, the site of Southern Lee’s last victory — which came against the Yellow Jackets two years ago. After falling 54-13 at

I just really want us to walk off the field knowing that this program is getting better and that we’re improving.” A select number of current Southern Lee players were on the field back in

Union Pines, Pinecrest both barred from playoffs From staff reports CARTHAGE — Football teams from both Union Pines and Pinecrest have been banned from postseason play this season after an altercation in their Aug. 27 game resulted in the ejection of three players from each team. The North Carolina High School Athletic Association ruled Thursday that the two schools have forfeited the opportunity to participate in postseason playoff competition in the event they were to qualify. In addition, each school has been fined for violating a rule that prohibits players leaving the bench area and going on to the playing area during an altercation. Also, the six ejected players are suspended from play

for two games. Both football programs have been placed on probation by the NCHSAA which is in keeping with the association’s practice. Each school was also required to conduct their own investigations into the incident and, as a result of their investigations, additional players have been disciplined by both schools. During the game, held in Southern Pines, an onfield scuffle broke out late in the second quarter that saw three players ejected from both teams ejected and forced law enforcement officials to come in and restore order. The incident took place after

Pinecrestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bryan Van Cleave scored on a twoyard run. He then ran in a two-point conversion to help make Pinecrestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big lead even bigger at 49-7 right before halftime. On the ensuing kickoff, the scuffle broke out at midfield. Members of Pinecrest were on the Union Pines side of the field and members of Union Pines ran out onto the field. After about a 15-minute delay, Pinecrest would go on to win the game 69-14. The Patriots (2-0) scored 35 points in the first quarter to build a lead that they never lost. Their defense also forced Union Pines (0-2) to turn the ball over three times. To add more fuel to the

fire, Pinecrest recovered an onside kick late in the first quarter when the Patriots were already up big. NCHSAA Commissioner Davis Whitfield expressed his appreciation to the schools for their cooperation in conducting thorough investigations. Superintendent Dr. Susan Purser expressed her regret for the altercation and said the schools would accept the NCHSAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The altercation between teams that occurred in last Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game between Pinecrest and Union Pines is both unfortunate and regrettable,â&#x20AC;? said Purser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our charge is to lead and model appropriate behavior in all situations, and Friday eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incident is not indicative of the conduct we expect or what we hope to accomplish through our athletic programs. However, it is

essential that we learn from such situations and see them as opportunities to grow and do better in the future.â&#x20AC;? NCHSAA rules state, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a situation occurs where three or more players on one team are ejected during one fighting incident, those three individual ejections will cause the team to lose its playoff privileges.â&#x20AC;? Officials did eject three players from each team as a result of the incident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we accept full responsibility for this unfortunate occurrence, we also accept the consequences of our actions, which includes the ruling of the NCHSAA,â&#x20AC;? said Purser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, our first responsibility is to our community and ourselves. Therefore, discussions were begun immediately following Friday eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game and plans implemented starting last Monday to address good sportsmanship, respect for all competitors on the field, court and sidelines and the qualities of good character we want to instill in our students and expect from our adults.â&#x20AC;?

Vikings face Bears as well as major distractions this week By RYAN SARDA

sarda@sanfordherald.com

BEAR CREEK — It’s been a long week for the Union Pines football program. Chatham Central head coach Bog Pegram hopes that’ll work to his team’s favor. The North Carolina High School Athletic Association ruled Union Pines ineligible for the 3-A playoffs on Thursday after their brawl, which saw six players from both programs ejected in last week’s loss at Pinecrest. “It had to have been a tough week of practice for them with all the distractions they were facing,” said Pegram. “It had to have been hard getting those guys focused for their next game when they didn’t know what was going to happen.” Although they can’t compete for the playoffs, Pegram is still weary that Union Pines might play the role of spoiler when the two programs meet at 7:30 tonight in Bear Creek. “They could go ahead and fold the tent or they could play the role of spoiler and ruin other team’s chances of going to the playoffs,” said Pegram. “Either way, we’ve got to come out and be ready for a tough battle. We’ve got to what we’ve got to do to win, which is something we haven’t done all season. I want us to have a shot in the

make some big plays when needed. They’ve got a great tailback in (Ace) Chalmers, who can break one if you’re not careful. They’ve also got several threats at receiver. They’re not going to make it easy for us, we know that.” With Southern Lee’s offense very capable of moving the football on offense, Cates knows that it’s just a matter of time before the Cavaliers snap their losing streak that

fourth quarter. That’s something we haven’t had in our first two weeks.”

Northwood expects J-M to be explosive

PITTSBORO — For the last two weeks, the Northwood Chargers have fallen behind early. Bill Hall knows that the Chargers cannot afford for that to happen against an unbeaten Jordan-Matthews squad when the two Chatham County rivals meet tonight at Northwood. “We can’t get behind early against a team like Jordan-Matthews and that offense,” said Hall. “I’m expecting us to play a pretty nip and tuck game that goes back and forth. We cannot get behind early because they’ll take advantage of that.” The Chargers (1-1) were able to shut down the Jets’ (2-0) doublewing offense pretty easily last year as they cruised to a 34-0 victory. “We did a pretty good job of containing their offense last year and we’ve got to have that same kind of performance this year,” said Hall. “Our defense has got to continue to hold the fort down. As a team, we’ve got to eliminate the mistakes that have killed us these last two weeks. If we can do that, I think we can win.”

dates back to 2008. “I know Southern Lee is going to win a game this year,” said Cates. “I just hope it’s not this Friday night against us. They’ve got some serious weapons out there and we’ve got to be ready.” Ironically, Southern Lee’s last win came against the Yellow Jackets in Brick City Bowl III, which was also at Cavalier Stadium. “Our kids know that Southern Lee is going to be ready for this game,” said Cates. “So it’s important that we come out and we’re ready too. We’ve had

Western Harnett facing rivals, Taylor

LILLINGTON — Western Harnett’s young offense has another tough test with county rival Harnett Central coming to town this week. The Eagles, who were held to just 32 yards of total offense in week one against Lee County and to 29 yards against Northwood last week, have fallen to an 0-2 record this season and are still trying to find their identity on the offensive end. Defensively, the Eagles are also going to have their hands full against a tough Harnett Central offense. The Trojans (2-0) are led by N.C. State recruit Brian Taylor, who has lit up the stat sheet under center in Harnett Central’s first two wins over Apex and Triton, respectively. The quarterback has just seven incompletions and has thrown for more than 600 yards this season.

Overhills travels to Pinecrest

SOUTHERN PINES — Like Chatham Central, Overhills will be hoping to catch Pinecrest with its mind elsewhere this week. The Jaguars meet the Patriots on the road one week after a brawl resulted in three suspensions and a banishment from the playoffs for Pinecrest. a good week at practice and now it’s time to get after it.” Southern Lee will have a part of its field painted with a big No. 9 to honor Lee County student Josh Britt, who was tragically killed in a car accident back in May. Britt would’ve been a senior this year at Lee County High School and would be preparing for his final Brick City Bowl. “That’s a beautiful and kind gesture on Southern Lee’s part,” said Cates. “I know the Britt family will appreciate that.”

Much still unknown for Heels CHAPEL HILL — While North Carolina’s football team leaves today for Saturday’s Chick-fil-A Kickoff game against LSU in Atlanta, exactly which players will be making the trip and playing for the Tar Heels remains unknown. Coach Butch Davis said Thursday that some personnel decisions might not be made until Saturday afternoon, but anyone who won’t be able to play because of the ongoing investigations into possible improper contact with agents, accepting illegal benefits or academics misconduct

will not travel. UNC still has not released an updated depth chart. “The number one key thing is participation in the game,” Davis said. “If there’s ... any indication that anybody is not going to be allowed to play in the game, then they won’t travel.” The only UNC player who definitely won’t be going to Atlanta is defensive tackle Marvin Austin, who was suspended Thursday for violating team rules. Davis declined to say which team rule was broken, and when asked if Austin still

was practicing, the coach responded he was indefinitely suspended. Davis did say there was “absolutely” a chance Austin could play again this season and reiterated his suspension was not related to the investigation. “[This] indefinite suspension absolutely has zero to do with the NCAA review,” Davis said. Davis deflected questions about a report that said as many as 16 Tar Heels could sit out Saturday’s game, saying that he could not comment.

Cavs

We’ve got to focus on this season.” Paris has seen the film on the Yellow Jackets and knows that they almost went the distance with the second ranked 4-A program in the state last week. Lee County led 14-8 against Richmond County in Week 2 before allowing the Raiders to come back and take a 38-21 win. “What is it that they don’t do?” Paris joked. “They force you to do a lot of different things. Their receiver Dequon (Swann) is the real deal. They play disciplined and they play very fundamentally sound football.

That’s a good football program over there. We know they’re going to play well.” No matter what happens, Paris just wants to see a sense of improvement in the Cavaliers. He’s seen it so far during practice, he just wants his boys to show it on the football field. “We’ve had a good week of practice and I think our guys feel good about what we’re doing,” said Paris. “We’ve just got to show it on Friday night. You can play well on Monday-throughThursday, but you’ve got to show it on Friday night.”

2008 when the Cavaliers defeated the Yellow Jackets 24-6 in Brick City Bowl III. Since then, the Cavaliers have endured backto-back losing seasons and are under their third head coach in as many years. “We talked about that at practice,” said Paris, who is gearing up for his Brick City Bowl. “I think it still lingers in some of our guys’ memories. But we’re a different team and so is Lee County.

Roethlisberger to meet with Goodell

BASEBALL

PITTSBURGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ben Roethlisbergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first big gain of the season may occur weeks before he returns to the field. His six-game suspension for violating the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal conduct policy likely will be shortened to four games by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell after the two meet in New York on Friday. The meeting will take place about 12 hours after the quarterback plays in the Steelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final preseason game, against the Carolina Panthers in Pittsburgh. The league plans to review Roethlisbergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior since he was accused of sexually assaulting a Georgia college student following a night of drinking in a Milledgeville, Ga., bar on March 5. Once it was determined six weeks later that Roethlisberger would not be charged by Georgia authorities, Goodell suspended Roethlisberger for the start of the season and ordered him to undergo an extensive evaluation. If Roethlisberger followed the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidelines and stayed out of trouble, Goodell said he would consider cutting the suspension to four games. While Roethlisberger is likely to contend that his conduct has been exemplary and the penalty should be cut even further, perhaps to three games, NFL officials have emphasized that Goodellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial ruling specified a punishment of at least four games. Steelers president Art Rooney II is expected to accompany Roethlisberger to the meeting. Goodellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling was made in consultation with Rooney and the Steelers, who were angered by the two-time Super Bowl quarterbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior and would have punished him if the league hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Pedroia: Foot surgery possible BALTIMORE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia is bracing for the possibility of having season-ending surgery on his broken left foot. Pedroia will be examined on Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a CT scan early in the morning,â&#x20AC;? Pedroia said Thursday before Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against the Orioles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I have to have surgery, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do it later in the day.â&#x20AC;? The injury originally occurred in late June. Pedroia returned for two games in August, then went back on the 15-day disabled list. The 2008 AL MVP and the Red Sox hoped for his return this month, but his recovery hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone as swiftly as anticipated. Pedroia is reluctant to write off the 2010 season, but acknowledged surgery is probably the best solution.

US routs Tunisia in World championship ISTANBUL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With nothing to play for, the United States looked as if it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to play. Outworked and outhustled, the Americans led winless Tunisia by only four points early in the third quarter before turning the game into a rout over the final 15 minutes of a 92-57 victory Thursday. Eric Gordon scored 21 points for the U.S., which had already clinched first place in its group and was more interested in getting through this one healthy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do â&#x20AC;&#x201D; than earning any style points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It happens,â&#x20AC;? center Lamar Odom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These teams are pumped up to play against us.

Features Dear Abby

BRIDGE HAND

Lighthearted courtship has become wedded drudgery DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my second husband, “Greg,” for 3 1/2 years. Before we married, Greg took me out on dates, we had wonderful conversations and a satisfying sex life. Now I spend every weekend cleaning, and when I clean the upstairs, Greg goes downstairs. If I clean downstairs, he goes upstairs. He says he loves me, but it seems we have become more like roommates than husband and wife. Greg buys big-ticket items (big-screen TV and a computer, for example) without telling me. In fact, he never discusses anything with me. Do you think he married me only to cook and clean for him? Before you suggest counseling, let me point out one more thing: Greg is a psychologist. — SEARCHING FOR NORMAL IN PENNSYLVANIA

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Change is upon you and, like it or not, you must deal with whatever comes your way. Showing you have what it takes to deal with matters effectively will speak volumes about your character and what you have to offer. Emotions will be difficult to contain and should be handled with dignity. Don’t let past problems resurface. Your numbers are 2, 10, 19, 22, 25, 31, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be careful how you handle personal matters. Someone you are close to will have trouble relating to what you want. Stick to what you can do on your own to avoid disputes. Get away from home for the day. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Discuss any emotional matters that need addressing before you carry on with your plans. Dealing with friends, children or your lover will all lead to a greater understanding. Working alongside others will help you reach your goals. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You don’t have to say a word. In fact, avoid talking and you will get much further ahead. Focus on developing some of your ideas that can turn a profit. Take a serious approach to whatever you do. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Travel, love, romance and seeking adventure should all be scheduled in. Relaxing or enjoying a little pampering will pay off. Don’t let someone else’s burden become your own when you should be taking care of your own interests. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Redecorate or look at real estate or make a residential move. Change is good and will help you sort out some of the problems you have faced in the past. A unique idea will allow you to turn negative relationships into positive and prosperous connections.

with others will drum up interest in what you are trying to pursue and bring about possible customers or partnerships. You can move toward your goals quickly, but don’t give too much away. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Being limited emotionally by a set of circumstances you face will lead to anger, upset and disputes. Rethink your strategy. Follow through on your own if you feel strongly about what you want to do. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Give more thought to financial matters. It’s important to take care of business and help an older family member in order to obtain control of your financial future. By implementing new ways to take advantage of what the system offers, you will get ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): It’s what you do to help others that will count. Show compassion and offer your services. Don’t test the one you love or push your beliefs on others. If you cannot pursue something on your own, perhaps you aren’t ready to travel down that path. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t let someone from your past drag you into a situation you have faced before. Limitations will occur if you are trying to learn something new or while traveling to unfamiliar places. Don’t let your vulnerability or uncertainty cost you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone you owe emotionally, financially or personally will be ready to collect. Don’t try to avoid what needs to be taken care of. Once you clear the debt, you can move forward. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Use your creative ideas to turn a profit. What you have to offer, along with a tempting presentation, has potential to position you for success. There is a lot to gain by handling fairly what needs doing.

DEAR SEARCHING: It appears you married a man who was terrific at sales and poor on follow-through. Because someone is a psychologist does not automatically make that person a good spouse, or parent — or even a particularly effective therapist. You two have a serious communication problem. You need to tell him how you feel, and he needs to tell you why he’s avoiding you and won’t allow you to have a voice in “big” decisions. And I AM suggesting counseling, but not with anyone with whom your husband is affiliated in business.

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

o DEAR ABBY: I have been going out with an older man for a year and a half. He is very nice and makes me laugh. He has a lot of faults, but I can tolerate them except for one — he cheated on both of his ex-wives. He has had affairs with his friends’ wives, his employees and his customers. He even told me he slept with another woman the night before his wedding to his second wife. He likes to flirt, and women like him because he has a great sense of humor. I love his company and we get along well — most of the time. He says he’s sorry for his past behavior, but I’m not convinced he really is. I’m afraid he will do the same with me if he has the chance. I have spoken to him about my concerns. He says he is “different” now. I have been hurt by men before, and I really don’t want to have

DEAR HESITANT: Probably nothing. Face it — he’s charming, witty and can’t keep his zipper up. Recognize and enjoy him for who he is, but if you’re looking for a lifetime commitment, he’s not “the one.” o DEAR ABBY: I was recently asked by a good friend to be one of his groomsmen at his wedding. Of course, I accepted. His bachelor party was on the Oregon coast, so I had to fly out for that a few months before the wedding. The ceremony is in St. Louis, so I have to journey there as well. For both events I have had to pay for travel, accommodations, etc. I spent $200 for the tuxedo rental for the wedding as well as additional expenses. By the end of it I’ll have spent more than $1,000. Must I still buy my friend a wedding gift? — BIG SPENDER IN PALO ALTO, CALIF. DEAR BIG SPENDER: The answer is yes — but it doesn’t have to be expensive. According to Emily Post, among the basic responsibilities of all adult attendants is to “contribute to attendants’ group gifts to the bride and groom (and usually, give an individual gift as well).”

Wyo. troopers examine human ashes in traffic stop

Swing sets removed at some W.Va. schools

FARSON, Wyo. (AP) — The powdery substance that Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers found in a zip-close bag during a recent traffic stop didn’t turn out to be drugs after all. Sgt. Stephen Townsend of the patrol says then when troopers pulled over two men in a car Wednesday, they found small amounts of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and thought the bag might hold illegal drugs. Troopers contacted the car’s owner — the girlfriend of one of the men — and asked her. The woman told troopers the baggie held her grandmother’s cremated ashes. She said they had been very close and she always keeps the ashes in her car. Townsend says troopers put the ashes back.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Elementary school playgrounds in one West Virginia county are losing their swing sets. Swings are being removed from Cabell County schools in southern West Virginia in part because of lawsuits over injuries. Cabell County schools safety manager Tim Stewart said Wednesday that a lot of parents are accusing him of being un-American, but he says the cost of maintaining a safe surface is too expensive. Stewart says a lawsuit in the past year involved a youngster who broke his arm jumping off a swing like Superman. It was settled for $20,000. Other equipment such as monkey bars will remain. Stewart says the schools are able to maintain the proper protection underneath them.

For 2nd time, Ohio woman gives birth in vehicle BETHEL, Ohio (AP) — For a second time, an Ohio woman has given birth to a baby who couldn’t wait and arrived on the drive to the hospital. Christina Schuler’s 8-pound, 11-ounce son was born Tuesday in the front seat of the family’s pickup truck. Her husband pulled over less than a mile from their hospital in southwest Ohio’s Clermont County. The woman from Bethel says her labor was even shorter than it was in December 2006, when she gave birth to her son, Ethan, in a car. The Schulers also have one other child. The father, Nathan Schuler, says if the couple has any more children, they’ll have to leave for the hospital a lot earlier. They haven’t decided on a name yet for the new baby.

Conn. driver falls from car on I-95; Dodge goes on DARIEN, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut State Police say a man fell out of his car onto Interstate 95 and watched his vehicle drive on for about two-tenths of a mile before it crashed into a pole. Troopers say they’re not sure why 51-year-old Robert Craig of Killingworth fell out of his 2006 Dodge Charger late Tuesday morning in Darien near Exit 10. Police say Craig was treated for minor injuries at Stamford Hospital. State police say Craig fell onto the highway but wasn’t struck by any vehicles. They say other motorists stopped to help him and get him to safety. Troopers say the car continued down the highway before striking a light pole and metal guardrail on the right shoulder.

Let God speak to you everyday Q: I suppose I ought to read my Bible, but whenever I’ve tried I just get discouraged and give up. It’s so big, and I’ve never been much of a reader anyway. Am I missing something? -- Mrs. C.D. A: Yes, you are missing something -- you’re missing the joy of having God speak to you every day! God gave us the Bible, and He did this so we could be comforted and guided by His truth. The Psalmist said, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path” (Psalm 119:105). At the same time, I can understand your frustration; the Bible is a big book and it is easy to feel overwhelmed by it. But let me suggest two things. First, learn what the Bible has to say from others -- from your pastor as he preaches, from a Bible class in your church, from Bible teachers on Christian radio, even from books written by gifted Bible teachers. Don’t just listen -- and then forget. Ask God instead to help you remember what they say, and apply it to your life. Then set aside a few quiet minutes every day to read your Bible and pray. Take a book of the Bible (such as one of the Gospels), and read a paragraph or so of it each day. Don’t worry about the parts of the Bible you don’t know; concentrate instead on the parts you can know, as you read a small portion every day. As you read, ask God to help you understand what it says. For example, if you’re reading in one of the Gospels, ask yourself what Jesus was doing or saying on that occasion, and what it tells us about Him.
